Chapter 306: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

An industry is a big circle, and there are naturally some small circles in the circle.

The same is naturally true of the entertainment industry.

For example, Beijing circle, Hong Kong circle, Shanghai circle, etc.

Zhang Pu did not enter the Beijing circle, but he took advantage of some of the convenience of the Beijing circle.

Jiang Yun is from the Beijing circle, and so is Han Shan.

Zhang Ke is not, but he is good friends with the first two.

However, these small circles are not as grouped together as they once were.

Or maybe not as much of an impact as it used to be.

More and more people are entering the entertainment industry, and the circle is no longer the world of those small circles.

Just like Zhang Pu, after his rise, a small circle was formed around him.

Of course, this time it was Xiao Xue who had a treat after the movie.

She didn't invite many people.

If Zhang Pu had a treat, it would have been different.

Xiao Xue didn't invite many people. There are few people in the circle who are good friends with her.

Of course, there are still quite a few on the surface.

"Director Zhang's film, I heard that you starred in it?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Zhang Ke's joint venture blockbuster, although it is dominated by Zhongrun Pictures and Universal Pictures, Xiao Xue's Extreme Film and Television also participated.

And the reason why Extreme Film and Television can participate is that the bridge is Xiao Xue.

Xiao Xue may not be the most internationally renowned actress in China, but she is definitely the most potential.

When you are young, you have unlimited potential.

"Hmm!" Xiao Xue nodded and said, "I heard that Universal Pictures wants to cooperate with you and Director Zhang?"

As soon as Xiao Xue's words came out, Chen Huatao looked at Zhang Pu in surprise.

However, it was soon relieved.

Zhang Pu is not unknown in Hollywood now.

won the Oscar for Best Screenplay last year, and was shortlisted again this year, so it may not be impossible to win it for a second time.

In addition, Sean Sommers's "Mummy" broke out to plagiarize his script, which also caused great repercussions in Hollywood.

Of course, Chen Huatao also knows that when Universal Pictures finds Zhang Pu, I am afraid that it is more interested in the Chinese film market.

And Zhang Pu's box office appeal in China is extremely strong.

Zhang Pu's script is able to take into account both the Eastern and Western markets.

This is also a key.

"You're well-informed. Zhang Pu said, "There are intentions in this regard, and we are still talking about it." ”

Zhang Pu said so, it seems that this matter is nine times out of ten.

Chen Huatao's eyes lit up, but a wry smile flashed.

He didn't speak.

He knows very well that this film must be dominated by star artists on the Hollywood side. Even if there are Chinese stars, maybe because of Zhang Pu's script, they won't play soy sauce, but there are many artists under Oriental DreamWorks.

"You really don't plan to take the international route?" asked Chen Huatao.

Why was Zhang Ke able to cooperate with Hollywood film and television companies one after another?

A big reason for this is the global box office performance of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Before this, Zhang Ke was also the top commercial director in China, and even had unparalleled box office appeal in China, but Hollywood film and television companies did not look for him.

This is a reason for the expansion of the domestic market.

Another reason, I'm afraid that Zhang Ke can't control the appetite of Western fans.

"No hurry!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"You've got to hold your breath. Chen Huatao shook his head and said.

If there is any domestic filmmaker who has the best grasp of the Western film market such as North America, it is Zhang Pu.

He proved this with one script after another.

And Zhang Pu definitely has the strength and opportunity to enter the international market.

But he didn't panic at all.

If it were a different person, especially a young man like him, I am afraid that he would have been impatient for a long time.

International directors, that's the card.

What director doesn't want to have such a title?

"I'm still young!" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "I'm still a few years away from turning thirty!"

When Chen Huatao heard this, he was stunned.

He or many people subconsciously ignore Zhang Pu's age.

Zhang Pu, who made such achievements and made such a reputation, was only a young man in his twenties.

"You really don't look like a young man. Chen Huatao shook his head and said.

He gets along with Zhang Pu and always feels like he is getting along with people of the same age.

"It's like a child. ”

Xu Jiahui smiled and agreed, but everyone laughed.

Zhang Pu is really a little childish sometimes.

The next day, Chen Huatao and Zhou Chaohua came to Oriental DreamWorks together to record for "Longing for Life".

Yesterday's Golden Dragon Awards ceremony related topics were also full of major entertainment media.

Among them, "Oriental DreamWorks Swept the Golden Dragon Award" has the most writings.

Secondly, that is after Xiao Xue was sealed.

As for the topic of "Zhang Pu missed the best director again", it is also very hot, and his sentence "It's all tears when you talk too much" has been ridiculed by countless netizens.

Even, many netizens believe that Zhang Pu missed the pot of the best director, and he had to carry it himself.

If there were no "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Parasite", Zhang Pu might have really won the best director.

He created two strong opponents on his own.

However, Zhang Pu is still the filmmaker who has won the most golden figures at this year's Golden Dragon Awards.

Shortlisted for four awards and won three.

"You're afraid you're moving again, aren't you?" Chen Huatao said to Zhang Pu with a smile.

"How do you know?" said Zhang Pu with some surprise.

He hadn't mentioned this to Chen Huatao.

Not many people even know about the company.

"Isn't this clear?" Zhou Chaoxia said, "This place is too small to accommodate your company." ”

Oriental DreamWorks continues to expand, and it is indeed difficult to meet this place.

"It's still being renovated over there, and it's estimated that it will be moved by the end of the year. Zhang Pu said.

"Then you have to prepare a bigger place, or you will have to move every two years. Chen Huatao said.

"No matter how big it is, it can be accommodated. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "The company bought a building over there. ”

Oriental DreamWorks directly bought a building, and when planning and designing, it was all done bigger, and the company was doubled in size, which could accommodate it.

Xuanying Digital Special Effects Company will also move over.

"Your company is really rich. Chen Huatao said with a smile.

That's really not a compliment.

Oriental DreamWorks has money, which is recognized in the circle.

Movies, TV, variety shows, and Oriental DreamWorks' projects are almost all very profitable, how can there be no money?

How much they earned last year, it is estimated that only they know it.

"Wanhui Group gave some concessions, and the government also gave subsidies. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Chen Huatao both nodded.

Oriental DreamWorks has received support from the government, and it is normal to get some subsidies, and even has a lot of preferential treatment in taxes.

As for the discounts given by Wanhui Group, that's not to mention.

The second largest shareholder of Oriental DreamWorks is the son of the chairman of Wanhui Group, and the largest shareholder is its future son-in-law.

Chen Huatao and both of them are super first-line stars, and they record variety shows, and the announcement fee is not low.

However, it is a friendly price.

And this money is not from Oriental DreamWorks alone. Specifically, this involves how to cooperate with Nanhu Satellite TV.

"I watched the first issue. Zhou Chaohua said with a smile, "I have to say, your hometown is really beautiful." ”

The first episode of "Longing for Life" was broadcast, which caused a lot of repercussions.

The ratings are high, and the topic is amazing.

This show is popular, but it's a little different from those that came before it. It's not that kind of explosion, but some moisturizing things silently.

"I think you'll be worth it. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Whether it is Chen Huatao or Zhou Chaohua, they all suffered when they were children.

The little farm work in the show is nothing to them. Perhaps, they will still have fun and reminisce about some of their childhood.

Chen Huatao and the two did not stay long.

In fact, they don't even need to make a trip themselves.

They can do it all when they come over.

They came more to discuss the propaganda of "Infernal Affairs".

After the two left, Zhang Pu went to Jiang Xingwen with the script.

"Hey, you're just right, I was about to call you?"

Zhang Pu entered Jiang Xingwen's office, but saw that Xu Jiadong was also there, so he immediately said.

"What are you looking for me?" Xu Jiadong said suspiciously.

"Are you interested in getting a game company?" Zhang Pu asked straight to the point.

When Xu Jiadong heard this, he directly gave Zhang Pu a roll of his eyes.

"Not interested?" Zhang Pu frowned.

"Haven't you paid attention to Xuanying Technology?" Xu Jiadong said, "Xuanying Technology has a game company under it!"

When Zhang Pu heard this, he smiled embarrassedly.

Zhang Pu really hasn't paid attention.

Xuanying Technology is a technology company jointly established by Zhang Pu and Xu Jiadong.

He wanted to get that Douyin short video app out.

also threw today's headlines, connotation jokes and other ideas to Cheng Yiming.

And then......

And then I never paid attention to it again.

He didn't even ask what the company has become now.

It seems that he also invested a lot of money in the back.

Now it seems that Xuanying Technology has deviated a little. Or that it is a little deviated from the trajectory expected by Zhang Pu.

"Then look at this script, is it possible to make this game based on this script. Zhang Pu said and handed the script to Xu Jiadong, and then asked Tan Siming to make a copy.

"Jumanji: Battle in the Jungle?" Xu Jiadong was puzzled, picked up the script and read it, and then said to Zhang Pu angrily, "Do you want to test my English level?"

"Oh!" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I took it wrong." ”

After speaking, Zhang Pu called Tan Siming again.

He wrote two versions of this script.

After a while, Jiang Xingwen put down the script and said to Zhang Pu: "This is the script you prepared for Universal Pictures?"

"How?" Zhang Pu asked.

"Jumanji: Battle in the Jungle" is a fantasy adventure film that Zhang Pu chose after some selection.

"You've got a good idea, kill two birds with one stone. Xu Jiadong said, "If you really cooperate with Universal Pictures to make this film and make the game of Brave, with the influence of the movie, it may not be able to become a hit game." ”

"The premise is that this film can be popular. Jiang Xingwen shook his head and said.

If the movie is popular, it will not only make money from the movie, but also the game.

But if the movie is not popular, the loss will be great.

"Don't you like this film?" asked Xu Jiadong.

He thinks it's a good script!

Four high school students with very different personalities accidentally travel into the dangerous game of the brave and transform into characters with completely different personalities and appearances......

Isn't that fascinating?
