Chapter 374: You'll Help Me

Speak with grades!

This is true in many industries, and the film and television industry is naturally the same.

Jiang Bin's ability is not mentioned for the time being, but his achievements are not very good. At least, compared with other signed directors of Oriental DreamWorks, it is much worse.

However, his potential is great.

has been in Hollywood for a few years, even if he has not made any names, his vision is much stronger than many domestic directors.

It is an indisputable fact that Hollywood leads the world.

There are so many things to learn from at home.

Zhang Pu and Jiang Bin have known each other for a long time, but of course their friendship is not deep.

When he was studying, Zhang Pu had to be taken care of by Jiang Yun, and during the New Year, Zhang Pu was indispensable to visit, and naturally met Jiang Bin who came back from abroad.

As the release schedule of "Wolf Warrior 2" approaches, Zhang Pu's energy has gradually shifted from the preparation of "Transformers" to the promotion of the film.

"Wolf Warrior 2" publicity conference, Zhang Pu and many main creators attended.

The popularity of this film is amazing, and naturally many media reporters are present.

"Director Zhang, the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, you haven't directed a sequel yet, so why did the "Wolf Warrior" series shoot two films in a row?"

The publicity conference is indispensable for questions from media reporters.

And as soon as this link arrived, some reporters raised doubts

This is also a question for many people.

"Looking for the Dragon" is the first film to break 2 billion, and it is as high as 2.4 billion.

This shows the gold-absorbing ability of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

But Zhang Pu didn't shoot a sequel.

The box office of "Wolf Warrior" did not reach 2 billion, but Zhang Pu filmed "Wolf Warrior 2" immediately after, which has to make people curious.

Does this film have such a big charm?

It's no secret that Zhang Pu doesn't like to shoot sequels.

"Actually, what I want to shoot the most, the first thing I want to shoot is "Wolf Warrior 2", but I think that directly filming "Wolf Warrior 2", Leng Feng's role is not deep enough, so I wrote "Wolf Warrior" again, explaining Leng Feng's personality and background. Zhang Pu smiled and said, "Let's put it this way, pull out the radish and bring out the puree." "Wolf Warrior 2" is a radish, and "Wolf Warrior 1" is just mud brought out by the way. ”

Reporter: ......

Not to mention that the media reporters present were a little confused, even the main creator of "Wolf Warrior 2" was a little confused.

"Wolf Warrior 1" is just mud brought out of pulling turnips!

Is it really good to compare this work to "mud"?

But your mud is too... It's too expensive!

As a foreshadowing film, the works that you compared to "mud" almost broke 2 billion at the box office, how can you embarrass other directors?

You pretending ...... No, it's not pretending, it's really awesome.

The mud is so expensive, but what about the radish?

"Does Director Zhang think that the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" will surpass the previous work?" a reporter hurriedly asked.

Sequel movies, whether it is word-of-mouth or box office, rarely surpass their predecessors.

It's just rare, not nothing.

The box office of the original "Wolf Warrior 2" is more than ten times that of the first part.

But this is a minority.

"Of course!" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "If the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" does not exceed the first part, it will be a failure. ”

exceeds the first part, and the box office will have to break two billion.

Is Zhang Pu finally no longer modest?

The box office of 2 billion may be out of reach for other directors, but for Zhang Pu, it doesn't seem to be so difficult.

Nowadays, the films that break the domestic box office of 2 billion yuan are either directed by Zhang Pu or written by him.

"Director Zhang is very confident in the box office of this film, is it just your small goal to exceed the box office of the first part?" A reporter asked with a smile, "What about Director Zhang's big goal? Breaking 3 billion, or surpassing "The Wandering Earth", becoming the first film to break 4 billion box office?"

Set a small goal for your film first: let's say break the box office of 2 billion first!

As soon as the people present heard the reporter's question, such a sentence flashed in their minds.

Perhaps, Zhang Pu's "small goal" of 100 million at the beginning left too deep an impression on recognition.

It's still circulating on the Internet today.

Earn him 100 million first!

Zhang Pu is now worth tens of billions, 100 million is indeed a small goal, who can say that he is bragging?

Zhang Pu's goal for his films in the past has always been not to lose money.

This time, it was directly set at two billion, which is unprecedented.

"Wolf Warrior 2" has a lot of investment, but the box office can exceed one billion, which can not only return to the cost, but also make a little profit.

This time, he directly doubled it, much to the surprise of many.

"The small goals have not been achieved, what are the big goals?" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "Do you think I am a person who is so ambitious?"

Does this have anything to do with being ambitious?

Zhang Pu is still the same Zhang Pu, even if he sets the box office target of "Wolf Warrior 2" at 2 billion, he is still very cautious in his words.

The reporters present were a little speechless.

Can't you just blow it big like when the main creators of other films are promoting?

Can't you show unparalleled confidence in your film?

Hey?

That's what we're doing.

Many reporters reflected.

Zhang Pudu threatened that if the box office did not break 2 billion, it would be a failure, and we even think that he is not talking big?

If these words were put on other people, I am afraid that countless people would have turned their noses up.

There are only a few films with a box office of more than two billion!

It's not our problem, it's that Zhang Pu is really awesome!

"Director Zhang, what is the biggest difficulty in filming "Wolf Warrior 2"?"

The reporter then asked questions, and it was still Zhang Pu who was asked.

Among the many main creators, Zhang Chu and Guo Yunxi are both first-line stars and extremely popular, but compared with Zhang Pu, they are a lot worse.

No matter which star Zhang Pu is with, he is the focus.

What was the biggest difficulty in filming "Wolf Warrior 2"?

If it weren't for the support of the military, it would naturally be the most difficult equipment.

But with the support of the military, the most difficult thing is probably the filming in Africa.

Hire local security guards and protect them with guns 24 hours a day, which has never happened in China.

Naturally, it is indispensable to be talked about.

During the propaganda period, it is natural to talk about things again and again.

"Director Zhang chose Guo Yunxi as the heroine of this film because she is your future sister-in-law?"

A reporter asked Zhang Pu.

The relationship between Zhang Chu and Guo Yunxi was exposed, and many people realized it later.

Zhang Pu's many films seem to have Guo Yunxi starring.

"You should ask again if you chose Zhang Chu as the leading actor in this film because he is my brother. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "I choose the principle of actors, and give priority to the company's artists. There's nothing to shy away from here. ”

"The company has suitable artists, are you afraid of being called nepotism, so you choose artists from other companies. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "It's true that Yunxi is my brother's girlfriend, but she is also a signed artist of the company, and she is also the most suitable one for the schedule." The main thing, of course, is that she is suitable for the role. If you don't choose her, who will you choose?"

Why did "Wolf Warrior 2" choose Zhang Chu as the male lead, this does not need to be asked at all.

The "Wolf Warrior" series is because of Zhang Chu.

This series is a film tailor-made by Zhang Pu for Zhang Chu, he is not the male lead, who will?

Zhang Pu answered this question, as always.

When other people encounter similar problems, they basically talk about how good the other person is and how he fits the role.

Only Zhang Pu did not shy away from saying bluntly that the principle of choosing actors is to give priority to his artists.

Even its artists are given priority, and the sister-in-law who gives priority to her future among its artists seems reasonable and understandable!

I'm just prioritizing, not cronyism.

Zhang Pu's words made people speechless.

Even his answer was even more satisfying to fans.

Those who say that the other party is excellent before choosing, compared to Zhang Pu's answer, the feeling of recognition is undoubtedly much more hypocritical.

Not hypocritical, this is Zhang Pu.

At the publicity conference, Zhang Pu was the absolute focus, but it was impossible to revolve around him all the time.

However, in addition to Zhang Chu and Guo Yunxi, Ye Fan can be noticed by the media.

As for the others, there are only one or two problems at most, and then they are ignored.

Those questions were specially guided by Zhang Pu and others.

After the press conference, Zhang Pu began to take the main creator of the film to promote it, and the film became more and more popular.

And Zhang Chu and others also frequently appeared on variety shows.

Promoting videos on variety shows is already a norm.

And Oriental DreamWorks has cooperated with many TV stations, and it is naturally much easier to promote the film on the show.

What's more, Zhang Chu and Guo Yunxi are both first-line, and Ye Fan is still a popular little fresh meat.

Zhang Pu rarely participates in variety shows now.

He campaigned for the promotion of the film, and more often than not, he actually attended some press conferences.

In the promotion of the film, Zhang Pu will appear, but he is not the main force, and it is more around Zhang Chu, Guo Yunxi, and Ye Fan.

Such a promotional video is also to give them publicity and momentum.

The exposure of the three of them during this period has undoubtedly increased a lot.

"How about leaving a role for Chen Fei'er in your new film?" Wang Bo looked at Zhang Pu and said.

"The supporting role shouldn't have much of a promotion effect on her, right?" Zhang Pu said with some doubts.

"She wants to act in a movie, I think you can play a supporting role in your new film first, and feel the difference between movies and TV series. Wang Bo said.

"If she wants, I'll be fine. Zhang Pu said.

The role of the female hacker has not yet been decided, and it is nothing for Chen Fei'er.

"Know that you won't say no. Wang Bo said with a smile.

He made a package ticket at Chen Fei'er's.

What about the supporting characters?

Zhang Chudu played a supporting role in this film, and Chen Feier did not lose her place in playing a supporting role.

In fact, those who want to play a supporting role in Zhang Pu's film, among the artists signed by the company, there are still many learners.

"Are you ready to make a movie?" Zhang Pu asked.

Chen Feier wants to make a movie, so Wang Bo's next work will definitely not make a TV series.

This guy is a director, and the purpose is very clear.

"You're going to help me, right?" said Wang Bo with a smile.

"Help!" Zhang Pu said, "When you finish the play "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", I will give you the script." ”

"Is it written?" Wang Bo said when he heard it.

He knew Zhang Pu, how could he not hear the meaning of the mystery from Zhang Pu's words.
