Chapter 410: I'm afraid it's inevitable to be criticized
Chen Zhen said that Zhang Pu is the king of the domestic box office.
This is not a compliment.
This matter can be described as nationally recognized.
Zhang Pu is at such an age, how long has it been since his debut, and the cumulative box office of his films is already beyond people's reach.
That's still the film he directed, and if you count the cumulative box office of the films he wrote, it would be even more desperate.
There is no reason why the market value of Oriental DreamWorks ranks first among many film and television companies.
In the entertainment industry, there are many people who want to cooperate with Zhang Pu.
There is no doubt about it.
Chen Zhen doesn't say that he is no longer in the past, even if he is still internationally renowned, it is not surprising that he has this idea.
However, playing a supporting role is a little unbelievable.
After all, his coffee position is so big, and playing a supporting role is really "out of identity".
Of course, some things are good to know, but if you say them, it will be a little unbeautiful.
"Director Zhang, why did you choose a newcomer for the heroine of this film?" another reporter asked Zhang Pu.
The male protagonist is Ye Fan, which is not surprising.
Ye Fan is very popular, and he is not far behind Zhang Chu and others, especially when he was shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor for "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", and his popularity has completely left behind other popular little fresh meat.
He can afford to be the male lead in this film.
If it is said that among the artists signed by Oriental DreamWorks, who brings the most income to the company, it is none other than Ye Fan.
Moreover, his share with Oriental DreamWorks is also much different from that of Deng Kun, Zhang Chu and others.
What about the heroine?
But it's a newcomer.
Look at the supporting cast of this film again?
Chen Zhen is an international superstar.
Zhang Chu, a super first-line star.
Guo Ji, a first-line star.
Chen Feier, a quasi-first-line star. It is estimated that after the release of "My Sassy Girlfriend", she is estimated to be promoted to the first line.
Other cameo celebrities are estimated to be more.
With so many people praising the newcomer Song Yanxi, it is difficult for people not to pay attention to her.
Could it be that there is another Han Xiaotong in the entertainment industry?
is so supportive, aren't you afraid that Song Yanxi will follow in the footsteps of Han Xiaotong?
"Among the artists signed by Oriental DreamWorks, there is no suitable one!" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "Instead of making wedding dresses for others, it is better to cultivate new people." What's more, this film is likely to be made into a series, and if it is used by artists from other companies, it will be too troublesome. ”
When the reporters heard this, they were immediately speechless.
The case seems strong.
In the past, I still gave priority to artists from my own company, but if I didn't, I would choose artists from other companies.
Nowadays, if there is no suitable artist in your own company, you can directly train new talents.
Zhang Pu said this, and almost said directly: I don't need artists from other companies, what can you do.
"Miss Song Yanxi, do you feel pressured by so many big names to match you?" the reporter looked at Song Yanxi and asked.
Stressful?
Boss.
"They are all actors, but they play different roles, and there is nothing to say that they are not matched. Song Yanxi said with a smile, "To be able to cooperate with many seniors, there must be pressure." However, I believe that I can turn pressure into motivation and play this role well. ”
Reporter: ......
Is this a newcomer?
Could it be that the newcomers of Oriental DreamWorks are all so old fritters?
She didn't even fall into the pit that the reporter had dug just now.
Sure enough, how can newcomers who can be praised by Oriental DreamWorks also have a few brushes.
At the launch conference, big names gathered, although Zhang Pu was the focus, he was not the only focus.
Chen Zhen, Ye Fan, Guo Ji, Chen Feier and others were all asked by media reporters, even Chen Xin was asked.
Of course, the most asked question is naturally Zhang Pu.
"Transformers" was launched, but the first thing to shoot was the scenes of Chen Zhen, Chen Feier and others.
And not long after the film was launched, "Jurassic Park" was also launched.
This sci-fi blockbuster starring Huang Ye, Deng Kun, and Tang Rui has been in preparation for so long and has finally started.
This film is also another sci-fi masterpiece by Wen Hao after "The Wandering Earth", and the script is also from Zhang Pu's hand.
This is undoubtedly also a film with a big investment.
Not counting the "Jurassic Park" built for the filming of this film, just the filming and production costs of the film are hundreds of millions.
The director, cast, and size of the investment are absolutely amazing in the domestic film industry.
This film is still very much worth looking forward to by fans.
Oriental DreamWorks' successive big moves have had a great impact on the circle.
"Are you sure you're here to visit the class?" Zhang Pu looked at Wang Bo with a smile.
A few days after the filming of the film started, Wang Bo came to visit the class, and at first glance, he saw that the drunkard did not mean to drink.
"What, you're not welcome?" Wang Bo pouted.
"That's right!" Zhang Pu nodded.
Wang Bo was stunned, and the people around him were also stunned.
When people came to visit the class, Zhang Pu actually said that he was not welcome?
"Get out!"
Wang Bo came back to his senses, rolled his eyes, and said angrily.
Zhang Pu said that, naturally, it was a joke.
Zhang Pu smiled, and the person next to him also smiled.
They also reacted at this time.
"Oh, go, such a big person?" Wang Bo said with some surprise as he looked up at the Autobots in the studio.
He'd heard about it, but it was the first time he'd seen it.
Now the scenes are filmed in the studio.
"Can they turn into cars?" Wang Bo continued.
"What do you think?" Zhang Pu said, pouting.
Wang Bo smiled awkwardly, this question was a little silly to ask.
It's just props.
How much does it cost to get an Autobot that can be transformed?
Toy factories don't have such big toys.
"When will today's scene be filmed?" Wang Bo then asked.
"What, you want to invite everyone to dinner?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
Wang Bo's face was embarrassed, and then he seemed to be forced to the foot of the wall by Zhang Pu's words, and then said: "Okay!"
"Really?"
"Sincerely. ”
"Really?"
"Sincerely. ”
Zhang Pu asked two questions in a row, and Wang Bo answered two questions in a row.
"Do you think we can be invited if you want to?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they understood that the people who had come over also laughed.
Of course, Chen Fei'er's face was a little red.
When Zhang Pu said that, he was obviously ridiculing Wang Bo.
"Are you attending the Golden Dragon Award ceremony?" Wang Bo changed the topic and said.
The two are not a couple yet, and if Zhang Pu continues to ridicule in front of so many people, I am afraid it will backfire.
Of course, tentative ridicule is also okay.
At least it can "declare sovereignty" and make other people who have some ideas about Chen Fei'er give up.
For example, Chen Xin!
Why did Wang Bo come to visit the class in a hurry?
Apparently I got the news from Chen Fei'er's assistant.
"Look. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.
If you haven't filmed on location, it's not impossible to take the time to participate.
However, because of Zhang Chu's reasons, the shooting plan was adjusted, and it is estimated that the interior scene was still being filmed at the time of the Golden Dragon Award ceremony.
In addition, many of the crew members have to participate.
Some are shortlisted, such as Ye Fan shortlisted for Best Actor, although it is very likely to play soy sauce, but it should be everywhere.
Some were invited to be award presenters, such as Chen Zhen and Guo Ji.
Zhang Pu himself was shortlisted for two awards.
"Wolf Warrior 2" was shortlisted for Best Director, and "The Shawshank Redemption" was shortlisted for Best Screenplay.
"Aren't you shortlisted for Best Director?" Chen Zhen asked Zhang Pu with some doubts.
He felt that Zhang Pu didn't seem to want to go to this year's Golden Dragon Award ceremony.
"It was also shortlisted for Best Screenplay. Guo Ji said with a smile.
"Is there a time when Director Zhang is not shortlisted for Best Screenwriter?" Chen Xin suddenly said.
Everyone thought about it, and it seemed to be true.
"Best director, there's no hope at all. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.
His shortlisting seems to be a number, no, it's more like an additive.
If he wins the best director with "Wolf Warrior 2", then the Golden Dragon Award will not be the Golden Dragon Award.
"So unconfident?" Chen Zhen said, "However, it is indeed ...... to encounter "The Wandering Earth" and "The Shawshank Redemption"."
Chen Zhen didn't finish speaking, and smiled awkwardly.
He made it clear that he was more optimistic about Wen Hao and Jiang Yun.
Zhang Pu didn't care, and was about to say something, but his phone rang.
"Uh-huh, yes, I see. ”
The call was made by Jiang Xingwen, and it was not a confidential matter, so Zhang Pu did not avoid everyone.
"The Shawshank Redemption is shortlisted for the Oscars. ”
Zhang Pu looked at the people around him and said with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
It was just a surprise.
Oriental DreamWorks films are not nominated for the Oscar once or twice.
"The Shawshank Redemption" is still set in the United States.
Except for the protagonist Deng Kun, who is Chinese, most of the other characters are Western actors.
This is a joint venture film, which can be said to be a Chinese film or a Hollywood film.
Perhaps for this reason, the film was not nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
However, it was shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Picture.
Jiang Yun was once again nominated for the Oscar for Best Director with this film, and Zhang Pu was also shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
The film was also nominated for Best Cinematography, Best Cut, Best Sound, and Best Actor.
There is less of the best soundtrack than the original.
It's just that the Best Actor nominee is not Deng Kun, but the black actor Thomas Deakins.
And Thomas was also shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Supporting Actor for this film.
This situation has not never happened before.
A film, a role, won a film award for Best Actor, but another award won for Best Supporting Actor.
The black character in the original "The Shawshank Redemption" also seems to have been shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Actor.
"I'm afraid Deng Kun is a little depressed!" Wang Bo shook his head and said with some sighs.
At the Cannes Film Festival, Deng Kun almost came back with a Cannes actor.
Who would have thought of the Oscars, but it was another person who was nominated for Best Actor.
Who is going to reason with this?
"Oscar is like this, I'm afraid it will inevitably be criticized. Chen Zhen frowned and said.
The Oscar nominated for Best Actor to Thomas, not necessarily because Deng Kun is a Chinese actor and is biased.
However, I am afraid that this move will really cause controversy.
Especially domestic.
Even if the Oscar nominates Thomas for Best Supporting Actor, domestic public opinion may have nothing to say.
But the nomination was for Best Actor.
What does that mean?
You must know that before this, the Golden Dragon Award was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Thomas.
