Chapter 452: Zhang Pu is not a simple porter
In the entire Chinese film industry, who doesn't know Zhang Pu's ability to turn stones into gold.
He is optimistic about the film, and he also revises the script on a large investment, so this film has a lot to offer.
There may be risks, but what about the movie that doesn't?
Therefore, it is not difficult for "Doomsday World" to attract other film and television companies to co-invest.
The time is getting closer and closer to the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day, and the publicity of the films released on the National Day is becoming more and more fierce.
Among them, "Ghost Blows the Lantern 3" is naturally the most popular.
This series of movies adapted by Zhang Pu, directed by Xu Ming, and starring Chen Huatao, Huang Ye, and Tang Rui is undoubtedly the most anticipated one by fans.
The first two films, both at the box office and word of mouth, are extremely good. After accumulating popularity, this film is naturally highly anticipated, and the market is extremely optimistic.
Therefore, the film schedule directly won 27%, becoming the largest number of films released on the National Day.
The competition in the National Day file may not be as fierce as the Spring Festival file, but it is not much worse.
Zhang Pu did not participate in the promotion of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 3".
However, he participated in the premiere of the film.
This film is also one of the highlights of Oriental DreamWorks.
"Your company's films are really one after another, and there is no gap. Zhang Ke said with some sighs.
Last year, Oriental DreamWorks' domestic box office accounted for almost one-sixth of the total box office.
I'm afraid this year will be even more ferocious.
Other film and television companies may not release a blockbuster a year, but as for Oriental DreamWorks, there are blockbusters released on almost every good schedule.
Of course, this blockbuster is in terms of the domestic market. But how many blockbusters like "Jurassic Park" and "Transformers" are there in China?
"After all, so many people have to eat!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
How many people are in Oriental DreamWorks now, Zhang Pu really doesn't know. If there are too many people, if there are fewer projects, it is easy to cause a waste of personnel.
Of course, Oriental DreamWorks signed a high-yield director, which still has a certain reason for Zhang Pu.
"How much food to eat!" Zhang Ke shook his head and said.
There are also films released on Christmas and New Year's Day.
The next Spring Festival stalls are still the same.
It is said that Oriental DreamWorks still has the film in its hands and has not found a chance to release it.
Tong Cheng's "Detective Chinatown" and Lin Mu's "Kung Fu" have also been completed, and they are now busy in the later stage.
In addition, there are many films and TV dramas that are being filmed.
"What happened to the blockbuster that Director Zhang took over?" asked Zhang Pu with a smile.
He didn't answer Zhang Ke's words.
Oriental DreamWorks isn't that overbearing.
It's not that we don't give food to others, it's that they don't fight for themselves.
What's more, in all good schedules, although they Oriental DreamWorks are the biggest winners, they have not made other film and television companies have nothing to eat, right?
Could it be that only by becoming the box office champion of a certain schedule can there be food?
"The script is still being discussed. Zhang Ke shook his head and said, "I regret it now." It's more comfortable to cooperate with Oriental DreamWorks. ”
Zhang Ke's words are really not a compliment, he really regrets taking this play.
Four film and television companies cooperate, how to choose the script, and how to choose the actors...... There are many people who make decisions, and the opinions of Zhang Ke, the director, are not so powerful.
And there are many voices, it is inevitable that you will fight for me.
The boss of the company is just a word, and the people below have to think about how to cooperate in the interests of their own company.
Then there will inevitably be contradictions.
When "Transformers" was released, the news of this film came out, and now it has been more than two months, and the script is still being discussed.
Well, a good script does take time to polish.
However, this is probably only one of the reasons.
A lot of cooperation needs to be led by one party.
Obviously, whether the four film and television companies want to dominate or not, it is estimated that another matter, but they definitely want to make the most profits.
"If I have the opportunity, I naturally hope to continue to cooperate with Director Zhang. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
Zhang Ke smiled and did not continue the topic.
At this time, it is obviously inappropriate to put forward the intention of cooperation.
cooperation, can only wait for the end of that film.
"Ghost Blowing the Lantern 3", like the previous two parts, has made some fillings to the original book to make the story more complete.
Even if you haven't watched the first two, it won't have much impact on the viewing of this film.
This film, whether it is action scenes or special effects scenes, is an improvement over the previous two.
Of course, the investment cost is naturally much larger.
I have to admit that Xu Ming is one of the directors who has studied special effects the most deeply in China.
The plot is compact and suspenseful, which is a little more suspenseful than the previous two films.
However, the style is still the same, the taste is still the same, and this film still satisfies the readers of the original book and the fans of the series.
Compared with the first two films, the word-of-mouth is not much different.
As for what will happen at the box office, we will only know after the next painting. The film won the single-day box office championship with a box office of more than 300 million on the first day.
It's no problem to get a new film released. This film is undoubtedly the hottest film released on the National Day.
"I thought you, the producer, wouldn't even come to the crew once?"
When Wang Bo saw Zhang Pu to the crew, he couldn't help but complain.
The idea of "Chen Fei'er in Wonderland" was Zhang Pu, and he also participated in the screenwriting, so it was only natural to serve as the producer of this film.
However, like other films, it is just a pseudonym.
If he didn't come to the crew, no one would feel strange.
"Busy!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
This is really not a pretext.
He's really busy.
Although he did not participate in the promotion of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 3", he needed to be busy with the production of "Kung Fu Panda", and from time to time he had to discuss the script of "Doomsday" with Roden.
That guy Rawden is also a ruthless guy who wants to make the script as perfect and thoughtful as possible.
And Zhang Pu is a well-known screenwriter in China, even internationally.
Naturally, he would not let go of this opportunity.
Zhang Pu ran "Chen Fei'er in Wonderland" to visit the class, and he had a little bit of avoiding him.
Wang Bo pursed his lips, but did not refute.
Zhang Pu was busy, of course he knew.
"Pretty good. ”
Zhang Pu looked at the content filmed before and felt a lot more relieved about this film.
Of course, the effect will have to wait for the post-production special effects to be known.
However, as a director, Zhang Pu can still see a little good or bad.
Wang Bo is still very attentive to this film.
"Chen Fei'er in Wonderland" is completely different from the Hollywood blockbuster "Alice in Wonderland" in the previous life.
Zhang Pu can't find the shadow of the original version.
Still, the creativity is very similar.
The relationship between the characters in this film is not so complicated, and there is no need to be so complicated.
There aren't many main characters involved either.
This is determined by the positioning of the film.
Deng Kun plays the male lead in this film. Although this film is a female protagonist movie, the male protagonist is not a soy sauce character.
In addition, Song Yeon-hee plays the second female lead in this film.
Song Yanxi is very popular with "Transformers", but his coffee position is still a few points worse than Chen Feier. She wants to reach the sky with "Transformers", but she is obviously still a few points behind.
The popularity of "Transformers" is nothing more than inflated.
Of course, the role of the female number two, although less than the protagonist, is still more brilliant. Song Yanxi is on fire, and the company will naturally find ways to invest resources to stabilize her popularity.
As for the second female lead who took this film, or fought for this film, what considerations she had, it is estimated that only she and her agent know.
Chen Feier matched her in "Transformers", and when she turned around, she matched Chen Feier in this film.
It seems a little weird, but this is not the first time it has appeared in Oriental DreamWorks.
Ye Fan matched Zhang Chu in "Wolf Warrior 2", didn't Zhang Chu also match him in "Transformers" when he turned around?
And the director of these two films is still Zhang Pu.
"You're here to give some advice!" Wang Bo said.
The three-word evaluation of "very good" made Wang Bo a little more confident.
However, he hoped that Zhang Pu could give some advice to make the film better. He can also see his own shortcomings.
"Let's talk about it. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
Wang Bo's previous shooting is indeed very good, this is not a hypocritical politeness.
He doesn't need to be polite either.
Be realistic.
However, is there a flaw in his eyes, and is there room for improvement?
Naturally, there are still them.
Of course, some of his opinions made Wang Bo feel a sense of sudden enlightenment, and some Wang Bo did not agree.
It doesn't matter if you don't agree, just discuss, it's just a matter of convincing whom.
If Wang Bo is a director, everyone is the same, and he has no opinions of his own, then the problem is even more serious.
At first, Wang Bo just listened, then occasionally said two or three sentences, and after that, the two went back and forth, and even argued.
If others don't know that the relationship between the two is irreversible, they still think they are going to fight.
Of course, Wang Bo was persuaded by Zhang Pu more often.
Although Zhang Pu's films so far have the original version as a reference, your directing level is still quite high. When the two argued, Zhang Pu persuaded people with reason and never oppressed people with power.
Well, with the relationship between him and Wang Bo, it is estimated that he will not be able to suppress people.
Zhang Pu is not a simple porter.
"This is going back?"
Zhang Pu didn't stay for two days and was ready to go back, but Wang Bo was a little unsatisfied.
Although the shooting progress is slower than in the past these days, Wang Bo clearly feels that his level is improving rapidly.
Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years!
Many times, Wang Bo has this feeling, and things that he couldn't understand before were broken by Zhang Pu's words.
"Do you still want me to stay in the crew all the time?" Zhang Pu pouted.
Wang Bo smiled, and he just asked.
Zhang Pu is so busy, how can he stay in the crew and fulfill the responsibility of producer.
"Is your animated movie really ready to be released during the Spring Festival?" Wang Bo asked casually, "Is it too late?"
"Much smoother than expected!" Zhang Pu nodded and said.
This year's Spring Festival is in February, and Zhang Pu expects to complete the production by the end of January.
But now it seems that it will be possible at the end of December and the beginning of January.
