The original version of "The Departed" didn't seem to do well at the box office, although the film won several Oscars.

Why does Zhang Pu still prefer to cooperate instead of directly selling adaptation copyrights or scripts?

He actually saw the purpose of Jiang Xingwen's coming.

Cooperation is undoubtedly more in line with the interests of the company.

Of course, whether we can talk about it or not, is still two words.

Although Zhang Pu won the Oscar for Best Screenplay, Hollywood film and television companies are obviously more interested in the box office.

And Zhang Pu has not come up with enough achievements in this regard.

Among the many films he wrote, only "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" had an amazing box office performance in the North American market.

is like "Looking for the Dragon", which broke the domestic box office of 2.2 billion, but it is also a bit miserable in North America.

The film did not grossing as much in North America, the world's largest film market, as did Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.

Universal Film and Television cooperated with Zhang Pu, and also pulled Zhang Ke?

I'm afraid a big reason is to take a fancy to Zhang Pu's influence in the Chinese film market.

Of course, if the other party only wants the adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs", or wants the script, and does not talk about cooperation, Zhang Pu is not unacceptable.

After talking, Zhang Pu is not in a hurry.

At the end of June, "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", which has been filmed for three months, was completed.

It's still the same as usual, very low-key.

"When will "East Becomes West" be filmed?" Zhang Chu asked Zhang Pu.

The last time Jiang Xingwen came to the crew, he had already told Zhang Pu that "The Wandering Earth" would not be able to catch up with the Spring Festival, and the post-production special effects would take a long time, and it is estimated that it will be released in the summer next year.

And Zhang Pu seems to be reluctant to put "Storm and Storm Dominating the World" in the Spring Festival file, so there is "East Becomes West".

The film is no secret within the company, and even who will play which role has already been decided.

It can be said that it is the all-star lineup of Oriental DreamWorks.

Except for Shen Ran, who is going to shoot "I Am Not the God of Medicine", among the signed artists of Oriental DreamWorks, almost all of them who can be named participated in this film.

Even if it is Shen Ran, he will make a cameo appearance in the film in the supernatural Wang Chongyang.

Moreover, the company gave two packages.

Get paid, or get dividends.

can get dividends, naturally no one is willing to get paid.

Zhang Pu wrote the screenplay and directed, with several first-line actors and second-tier popular actors participating, no matter how you look at it, you won't lose money.

What's more, when did Oriental DreamWorks' films lose money?

As long as you are not stupid, you will choose to take dividends.

If possible, they are willing to put more money into it.

"I guess after the National Day!" Zhang Pu thought for a while and said.

"East Becomes West" will definitely be filmed, but it will definitely not be filmed immediately, and it will take time to prepare.

"The Storm Dominates the World" is finished, and Zhang Pu wants to follow up on the later stage while preparing for this film, which will definitely not work in a short period of time.

If it weren't for the fact that there weren't many things to prepare for "East Becomes West", filming might not have started in October.

"What, you're taking over the show?" Zhang Pu asked.

"There is an invitation. Zhang Chu nodded.

He is the youngest star in the circle today, and there are naturally a lot of invitations.

The effect of action scenes shot by actors with and without kung fu is completely different.

Zhang Chu starred in Zhang Pu's new film, and after the film is released, his net worth will definitely rise.

At this time, the invitation, the salary has not risen, and it is undoubtedly the most cost-effective.

What's more, Zhang Chu also has a kung fu film "Ip Man" that will be released soon.

"This drama is estimated to be filmed for a month. Zhang Pu said, "What, did you like that play?"

Zhang Chu's schedule is very full.

"Storm and Storm Dominate the World" is finished, and he will immediately devote himself to the promotion of "Ip Man" and the recording of "Run, Brother".

The first season of "Run, Brother" has 12 episodes, which will be broadcast for three months.

Of course, the recording cycle will certainly not be three months. However, during this period, it is estimated that there is some suspense.

"Hmm!" Zhang Chu nodded and said, "If you can join the crew later, then take it." If you can't, then you have to push?"

"Whose play?" Zhang Pu asked curiously.

"Yuan Dao's. Zhang Chu said with a smile, "A modern action movie." It seems that the company has invested a lot. ”

Oriental DreamWorks has abundant funds, which is not a secret in the circle, so there are many filmmakers who come to the door to attract investment.

If you are optimistic, you will also invest.

Naturally, a film company doesn't just focus on its own director.

Zhang Pu nodded, Yuan Hong is undoubtedly very reliable as a director or an action director.

Of course, the ruler is short, and the inch is long.

If you ask Yuan Hong to direct a film that is more artistic, it is estimated that it will be difficult for some strong people.

But action movies, that's definitely what he's good at.

"Since it's Director Yuan's play, it's okay to wait for a month. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

If Zhang Chu is the male number one, it is better to wait until Zhang Chu starts the film than to join the crew late.

Zhang Chu is definitely worth the money now.

The crew and other actors' schedules are not uncommon in the circle.

Zhang Chu is obviously worth the wait!

What's more, the relationship between the two brothers, Yuan Hong and Zhang Chu, has always been good.

In recent years, Yuan Hong has served as an action director and less as a director. Now that he has the opportunity to direct, it has nothing to do with the big hit of "Jingwu Heroes".

If "Ip Man" is more popular, it is estimated that Yuan Hong will not lack filming anymore.

From this point of view, he has to thank Zhang Pu.

"Storm and Storm Dominate the World" was completed, Zhang Pu returned to Yanjing, did not rest, and went directly to work.

He first went to watch the post-production of "The Wandering Earth" and saw some finished shots, and Zhang Pu became more and more interested in this movie.

Wen Hao has been staring, and he definitely attaches more importance to this movie than anyone else.

He was an ambitious man.

This is the first hard sci-fi film in China, and if he is screwed, it will definitely be an indelible stain on his directorial career.

If the shoot is done, endless honor will beckon him.

Of course, Wen Hao himself is also an extremely demanding director.

This is also an important reason why "The Wandering Earth" can't catch up with the Spring Festival.

"Theme song?" Zhang Pu looked at Wen Hao and shook his head, and said, "Where can I be busy, and I don't have that energy." I'm going to find someone else to write the theme song for my film. ”

"Didn't you write the theme song of 'Infernal Affairs'?" Wen Hao said.

Wen Hao wants to make the movie as perfect as possible.

If Zhang Pu also has a theme song for "The Wandering Earth", it will be tantamount to icing on the cake.

Zhang Pu's songs have a lot of impetus for the promotion of the film.

"That's what was written before, okay? Your film can't catch up with the Spring Festival. Zhang Pu continued, "My film is estimated to be scheduled for Christmas and New Year's Day, so I plan to spend a month or two making a Chinese New Year comedy film to be released during the Spring Festival." Where do you have the time and energy to write the theme song for "The Wandering Earth"!"

Zhang Pu, the theme song of the original "The Wandering Earth", naturally remembers it, but it feels unnecessary.

Wen Hao: ......

Zhang Pu refused, Wen Hao didn't feel much, but he was shocked by Zhang Pu's words.

Spend a month or two making a movie to catch up with the Spring Festival?

Wen Hao has actually heard of this, and it is estimated that only Zhang Pu dares to do this.

Seems like he's done it before.

"Nobody" seems to be a "money-making work" because it was hacked.

Isn't he afraid of being criticized again?

The film is good, and it is naturally fearless. But if the fans are not satisfied, this is a matter of smashing the signboard!

If it were someone else, I wouldn't have done that.

Cherish feathers, human nature.

Zhang Pu, doesn't he cherish the reputation he has built up with great difficulty?

Apparently not!

Wen Hao felt that he was doing this out of self-confidence.

The theme song of "The Wandering Earth" seems to have to do something else he thinks?

But no matter how well it is written, I am afraid it will be difficult to compare with Zhang Pu.

After all, those people don't have Zhang Pu's fame.

"Where are you?"

As soon as Zhang Pu returned to the office, Xu Jiadong knocked on the door and said with a smile.

"Looking at your smile, I feel like you're not looking for me. Seeing Xu Jiadong's appearance, Zhang Pu pouted and said.

"I heard that there are still two characters in "East City and West Collection" that have not been determined?" Xu Jiadong disagreed, and continued.

"Do you want to stuff people again?" Zhang Pu heard it, and instantly understood, and then became a little speechless.

"Why am I a Cypriot? I'm looking for an actor for you. Xu Jiadong said with a smile.

Still looking for actors?

Let's just look for actresses!

"I don't need your help. Zhang Pu pouted and said.

"I need your help!" Xu Jiadong said directly.

"You just said, how many times have I helped you?" Zhang Pu said, "Can't you pick up a girl every time, I'll give you the aftermath, right?"

"Who made you my brother-in-law?" Xu Jiadong said with a smile.

He still knows Zhang Pu very well.

Don't look at Zhang Pu's reluctance there, but he didn't refuse, in fact, he had already agreed.

It's just a matter of complaining and expressing dissatisfaction.

I, Lord Xu Jiadong, have a lot, so I don't care about you.

"Okay, which two celebrities in the circle did you sleep with?" Zhang Pu sighed and said, "You're not afraid that they will fight with the crew?"

It's all said and done, what else can he say, he is speechless!

"Liu Shiyan and Ni Qian!" Xu Jiadong smiled and said.

Zhang Pu nodded and said nothing.

Liu Shiyan is a sexy goddess on the treasure island, born as a model, and her appearance is also very high.

As for Ni Qian...... Well, Xu Jiadong can take a fancy to it, which one is not amazing.

These two people are both second-tier and are not well-known, but they are not as good as Dong Qin and Guo Yunxi of the company.

It is naturally not a problem for the two of them to play the role of the imperial princess and the national teacher.

"If you're in your thirties, you can't take it personally, do you really want to sleep with the goddesses in the circle?" Zhang Pu shook his head and said.

He felt the need to persuade his eldest brother.

"Didn't I meet the right one?" Xu Jiadong said.

"You have a good reputation, even if you meet someone who thinks you are suitable, I'm afraid people will think you are not suitable. Zhang Pu pouted and said, "You just want to have a show with her that the prodigal son doesn't change his money, and he doesn't have a chance." ”

"I ......," Xu Jiadong said, "Hey, how do I feel that you talk to my dad with a virtue, almost make me think you're talking to my dad!"

"I don't mind you calling me that. Zhang Pu pouted.

"I dare to call, do you dare to respond?" Xu Jiadong said with a face.

Zhang Pu: ......

He really didn't dare to respond.
