"Truman's World" was shortlisted for the Oscar again, and Jiang Yun was undoubtedly happy. Of course, he, like Zhang Pu, is ready to go home empty-handed.

Shortlisted for three awards, he is not optimistic about any of them.

Or maybe not a few are optimistic.

Miracles, where is it so easy to create?

Can't get it, it's human nature.

But even so, it is worth celebrating.

Celebration, perhaps, is limited to Oriental DreamWorks.

Oriental DreamWorks' films have performed at the Oscars for several years in a row, undoubtedly setting off other film and television companies as useless.

However, in the eyes of many people, the key figures are probably not Jiang Yun and Zhang Ke, but Zhang Pu.

The films shortlisted for the Oscars were all written by him.

And he has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Screenplay for three consecutive years. His name as the first screenwriter in China has been so far, and there is no controversy.

Zhang Pu is the screenwriter who has won the most best screenplays, and he is also the screenwriter with the most cumulative box office works.

Box office, awards, no one beats, he's not the first, who is?

Whether it is the announcement of the Golden Dragon Award shortlist or the announcement of the Oscar shortlist, Zhang Pu's topic is extremely hot, and this popularity is fed back to the released "East Becomes West".

The box office of "East Becomes West" has shown reverse growth.

It's just that the film is already on the verge of painting, and no matter how much it grows, it will be limited.

The films released during the Spring Festival also have a small number of films scheduled for "East Becomes West" and "Special Mission", and all other films have been drawn.

However, "East Becomes West" has exceeded 2 billion, and "Special Mission" has also won 1.7 billion.

The box office has basically come to an end.

For the other two blockbusters, one broke one billion at the box office, and the other was close to one billion.

The total box office of the Spring Festival stalls is undoubtedly a new high.

In addition to the quality of the film itself, the development of the market is undoubtedly key.

Of course, the two go hand in hand.

If the market is not strong, who dares to make a film with a big investment?

With insufficient funds and weak blockbusters, how to attract audiences to the theater?

Art films at a small cost?

To promote the development of the film market, I am afraid that it is still commercial blockbusters.

"East Becomes West" became the biggest winner of the Spring Festival.

This film has definitely left an extremely strong mark in the film industry. not only gave birth to a 10 billion actor, but also gave birth to a 10 billion director.

This film also started the trend of actors taking shares with their salaries to get dividends.

Although there were some before, such as "Infernal Affairs" Zhou Chaohua and Chen Huatao are like this, but they are a minority after all.

After "East Becomes West", there are more and more such situations.

"That's it!"

Lin Mu said with a smile.

He has been discussing "nonsensical" and spoof films with Zhang Pu in the past few days.

And Zhang Pu actually didn't have too deep research on this, but he didn't cherish himself either, sharing some of his understanding of this kind of film with Lin Mu, and even took out the script of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" as an explanation.

Lin Mu didn't understand, Zhang Pu didn't know, he didn't understand it very well, he was purely drawing a scoop based on a gourd.

However, Lin Mu was obviously very inspired and took a lot of interest in this film.

He decided to shoot this in his next film.

"Then shoot!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

He took this film out, in fact, there is also a reason for this.

If this film is filmed well, Zhang Pu doesn't mind giving Lin Mu the two films "Shaolin Football" and "Kung Fu".

Lin Mu wants to shoot "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", which is also the second film approved by Oriental DreamWorks this year.

The first is Zhang Pu's "Wolf Warrior".

However, within a few days, Lin Mu and Jiang Xingwen found Zhang Pu.

The two had some disagreements on the selection of actors.

Lin Mu wanted to use Shen Ran.

Jiang Xingwen suggested using Deng Kun.

This was the first time the two of them had a disagreement.

In terms of roles, both of them are actually suitable. However, Zhang Pu is more inclined to Shen Ran.

Deng Kun can also play this role. Jiang Xingwen said, "Shen Ran still has "Truman's World" and "I Am Not the God of Medicine" that have not been released! After Deng Kun signed with Oriental DreamWorks, he only starred in one movie, "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World". ”

"East Becomes West" is a group drama, and to some extent, it cannot be regarded as starring Deng Kun.

Zhang Pu understood Jiang Xingwen's considerations.

He was afraid that he would give this film to Shen Ran, and Deng Kun had an opinion.

Do not suffer from few, but suffer from unevenness.

Ye Han jumped ship at the beginning, probably to give Jiang Xingwen a warning.

He didn't want that to happen.

"Isn't "The Wandering Earth" starring him?" Lin Mu said.

"He's playing a supporting role. Jiang Xingwen said.

The protagonist of "The Wandering Earth" is a newcomer, and a newcomer in his teens.

Zhang Chu plays Liu Peiqiang.

And Deng Kun plays Wang Lei. This character has a lot of roles, but it is indeed a supporting role.

"Shen Ran is taking the comedy route, do you still want Deng Kun to also take the comedy route?" Lin Mu said.

Among the artists signed by Oriental DreamWorks, Huang Ye walks in the acting school, Zhang Chu walks in action, and Shen Ran walks in comedy, but Deng Kun is the only one who is a little vague in terms of positioning.

Deng Kun has good appearance conditions, has acting skills, can stand up to the shelf, play handsome and cool, and can also put off the shelf to be funny and funny.

This can be seen from its performance in "Run, Brother".

Powerful idols, this kind of actor actually doesn't pick a scene.

Although Shen Ran is also a first-line star now, his commercial value is much lower than Deng Kun.

"Isn't Deng Kun going to star in "Game of the Brave"?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"I didn't hit the schedule. Jiang Xingwen said, "Moreover, his role in "Jumanji" is a soy sauce character. ”

It's not about soy sauce, but there are really not many scenes.

"That's it!" Zhang Pu thought for a while and said, "Let Shen Ran play "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", and Deng Kun will play Wen Hao's next film, or the teacher's next film. In this way, I don't think he will feel uncomfortable. ”

Jiang Xingwen nodded.

Where there are people, there is competition.

Obviously, there are also some within the company, and even quite a few small groups have been formed.

Lin Mu had to use Shen Ran, did he really feel that Shen Ran was more suitable?

Not necessarily, I'm afraid

In terms of relationship, he and Shen Ran are undoubtedly better.

When Deng Kun signed with Oriental DreamWorks, he was already a first-line star.

But Shen Ran was picked up by Oriental DreamWorks.

Or rather, it was Lin Mu who picked it up with one hand.

After Lin Mu arrived at Oriental DreamWorks, counting the unreleased "I Am Not the God of Medicine", he made three films, but these three films were all starred by Shen Ran.

The male number one of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", he naturally thought of Shen Ran for the first time.

Preconceived, he naturally felt that Shen Ran was the most suitable.

Deng Kun joined Oriental DreamWorks as a first-line star, but the company's connections are much worse than Shen Ranlai.

In fact, compared with other film and television companies, the internal competition of Oriental DreamWorks is already good.

Who has enough resources?

A large part of the reason for the exodus of other film and television companies and artists is due to internal competition.

Deng Kun did not choose to renew his contract with Orange Entertainment, and Oriental DreamWorks offered conditions that made him feel excited. On the other hand, it is nothing more than losing the competition with Zhao Feng.

Lose, which means that Orange Entertainment's resources will be biased towards Zhao Feng.

Deng Kun continued to stay in Orange and Yellow Entertainment, and he would never become a brother.

What's more, with Huang Ze, the crown prince, his resources will only be pressed less.

It's just that Deng Kun didn't expect that he still couldn't become a brother when he entered Oriental DreamWorks.

When he first entered Oriental DreamWorks, he was the only first-line star among the actors, and the first brother seemed to be promising.

And he does have more resources than in Orange Entertainment.

first played a popular TV series "Langya Bang", and then a resident guest of a popular variety show, and then participated in Zhang Pu's two movies "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" and "East Becomes West".

The cumulative box office of these two films is nearly four billion.

This made him a lot more popular.

He knows very well how difficult it is to rise in popularity after entering the front line, and if he is not careful, his popularity will decline.

But he didn't be happy for long, but suddenly found that he was getting farther and farther away from the Oriental DreamWorks.

First, Huang Ye was promoted to the first line, and then he became the first 10 billion actor in China with "East Becomes West", which seems to have shaped a golden body and made him rise.

Then, Zhang Chu and Shen Ran also entered the front line.

Tang Rui is not counted, although she is also a first-line, there is not much resource conflict between male and female stars.

There are not many signed artists in Oriental DreamWorks, but now there are four first-line popular stars among the male stars.

This doubled the pressure on Deng Kun.

Acting action, he can't compete with Zhang Chu. Acting in comedy, he can't compete with Shen Ran. Fighting for acting skills, he has no confidence in front of Huang Ye.

He suddenly found himself in front of others, without any advantage to speak of.

This inevitably made him a little panicked.

Why did Jiang Xingwen want to give the film "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" to Deng Kun, which naturally included Deng Kun's initiative.

Of course, Jiang Xingwen used this to appease Deng Kun, and the most important thing is that Deng Kun has this value.

Among the artists signed by Oriental DreamWorks, he is the one with the highest commercial value.

Even Tang Rui is worse than him.

Are there any other reasons?

Perhaps, Ye Han's job hopping still has some impact on Jiang Xingwen, or a warning.

However, Zhang Pu didn't think that Deng Kun would be like Ye Han, because the company didn't revolve around him, so he ran away.

Deng Kun is not as young and impulsive as Ye Han.

He has been able to get to this point, but he has been beaten by society countless times.

And what about Ye Han?

He's too smooth.

"The Wandering Earth" has not yet been completed in the later stage, and Wen Hao probably has no intention of making a new film. Jiang Xingwen then asked, "Director Jiang's play, in terms of casting, the company's words may not be useful." ”

Jiang Yun has a lot of autonomy in filming, not because he is Zhang Pu's teacher, but because he joined Oriental DreamWorks and the conditions given by the company.

Although Jiang Yun still abides by the principle of "giving priority to the company's artists", Jiang Xingwen knows that Jiang Yun prefers Huang Ye.

"I'm a screenwriter, and my opinion is still very important to the teacher. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
