The box office of "Jingwu Heroes" undoubtedly exceeded everyone's expectations, and far exceeded the expectations of Zhang Pu and others.

This film also makes the words "produced by Dongchang must be a high-quality product" more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It seems that the films produced by Oriental DreamWorks, even if they are kung fu films that have long been eliminated by the market, can still be popular.

Not only is the quality of the film high, but also the box office.

A kung fu movie, the box office is expected to break 500 million.

Yes, the box office of "Jingwu Heroes" is estimated to exceed 500 million.

And that's pretty convincing.

Because on the third day of the film's release, the box office still increased slightly, almost breaking 200 million.

On the fourth day of release, the weekend ushered in, and the box office grew again, and the single-day box office directly broke 70 million.

Within five days of release, the box office broke 300 million, which directly met the expectations of Zhang Pu and others.

In this way, the estimate of 500 million yuan for this film is low.

The reason for this assessment is entirely because the film ushered in a strong opponent on the sixth day of its release.

A Hollywood blockbuster is released.

Otherwise, the box office estimate of this kung fu film will be much higher.

If the impact of that Hollywood film is not too big, the box office may be even higher.

"Director Hong, look at this script, are you interested in working together again?"

Zhang Chu smiled and handed the script to Yuan Hong.

"Jingwu Heroes" is a big hit, and their main creators have added a lot of roadshows.

In fact, while running a roadshow to promote the video, he is actually promoting himself.

"You wrote that?" said Yuan Hong with a smile.

"Do you think I look like someone who can write a script?" Zhang Chu rolled his eyes directly and said, "My brother wrote it." He gave it to me before he went to the United States, saying that he could ask you what you mean when the box office of "Jingwu Heroes" meets expectations. ”

"It's all a grandparent, why can't you write it?" Yuan Hong joked with a smile.

He had already guessed it.

Zhang Pu had mentioned this to him before.

The box office of "Jingwu Heroes" met expectations, so they will cooperate to make a kung fu film.

If the box office does not meet expectations, then it can only mean that the market for kung fu films is not there, and there is no need to toss around this genre.

didn't make a profit, and they weren't interested in shooting.

They don't make movies all for money, but they can't do it for money.

A movie, in addition to artistic value, also has commercial value.

Now, "Jingwu Heroes" has far exceeded expectations, and Oriental DreamWorks will naturally continue to shoot kung fu movies.

In addition to Oriental DreamWorks, there are actually several film and television companies that are preparing to shoot kung fu films.

Yuan Hong has received a lot of invitations.

"The dragon gives birth to nine sons, and they are all different!" Zhang Chu said with a smile.

He naturally heard Yuan Hong's ridicule.

He didn't have such a competitive spirit, and he didn't want to compare with Zhang Pu.

Just like he is now a little popular, it is inevitable that some people will say that his achievements are all due to Zhang Pu.

There are many people who are popular, and the words are not very good.

However, Zhang Chu was able to maintain a normal heart.

Those words, he had expected a long time ago. Moreover, many people have given him vaccinations.

In fact, there is no need for others to give him vaccinations.

He has today's achievements, thanks to Zhang Pu.

There is nothing to shy away from this, and there is no need to avoid it.

He didn't feel anything to be ashamed of.

"I'll take a look first. Yuan Hong opened the script and said, "I've been waiting for him to script for a long time." ”

The reason why Yuan Hong pushed other invitations was that he naturally wanted to cooperate with Zhang Pu again.

Whether it is "A Chinese Ghost Story" or "Jingwu Hero", Yuan Hong has a lot of income.

Those offers offered a high price, but it was difficult to impress him.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" is a bonus for actors and action directors, while "Jingwu Heroes" is a bonus for directors and action directors, which is much higher than "A Chinese Ghost Story".

"Pick it up?"

Zhang Chu waited for Yuan Hong to finish reading it, and asked with a smile.

"What do you say?"

Yuan Hong rolled his eyes directly and said angrily.

In his opinion, Zhang Chu's question was purely "revenge" for his previous ridicule.

Zhang Pu's script, which director in the circle doesn't want it now?

Think about Jiang Yun, the return of the king of "Farewell My Concubine", not only won the Cannes Palme d'Or, but also almost swept the Golden Dragon Award.

And what about Zhang Ke?

A "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was directly shortlisted for nine Oscars.

In the past, many Chinese-language films won a best foreign language film at most, or they went to win awards, but after filming Zhang Pu's script, what was the result? It's exciting to think about.

In addition, Lin Mu's "The Richest Tomato" broke one billion at the box office and was promoted to a first-line director.

Even if it is a TV drama script, it is very amazing. Gao Wang almost became a god directly with "Bright Sword".

Didn't he Yuan Hong also create a kung fu film miracle with "Jingwu Hero"?

And from the perspective of the script itself, "Ip Man" is also excellent, in which the plot of "Ip Man Wins Rice" is definitely comparable to "Chen Zhen Kicking the Hall". Perhaps, he will create another classic kung fu film clip.

This film is definitely the same as "Jingwu Heroes", fame and fortune.

"Do you know Wing Chun?" Yuen Hung then asked.

The script given by Zhang Pu is "Ip Man".

There is no Bruce Lee in this world, and there is no Ip Man.

However, Zhang Pu did not say that this is a biographical movie.

What's more, even in the world with Ip Man, the film "Ip Man" has many fictional features.

Compared with the original version, it may be just one less publicity stunt.

The script, Zhang Pu did not make much changes.

"It's going to be a meeting, but it's not really coming!" Zhang Chu said.

Yuan Hong nodded.

He knew that the two brothers Zhang Chu had real kung fu, majoring in Xingyi and Baji, and also dabbled in Tai Chi and Bagua, and they also had some understanding of other boxing techniques.

However, even if you don't know anything about Wing Chun, you have a kung fu foundation, and you can definitely get started quickly.

It is estimated that after a few days of training, there is absolutely no problem in achieving the required effect of shooting.

Jiang Xingwen and Zhang Pu were both in Los Angeles at this time.

However, it is not that Oriental DreamWorks cannot operate without them. Therefore, the establishment of "Ip Man" was very smooth.

As for the choice of actors, it is estimated that it is much more troublesome than "Jingwu Heroes".

This film will obviously not go as unattended as before.

"Jingwu Heroes" has become popular, and many actors have increased a lot in popularity and popularity.

Of course, there is another major reason, and that is to make a lot of money.

"Ip Man" can't be just an investment from Oriental DreamWorks like "Jingwu Heroes".

There are many investors, and the selection of actors is naturally much more troublesome.

"Jingwu Heroes" was released in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, and the box office performance was extremely good. Jiang Xingwen said with a smile.

"Japan is not bad?" Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief.

This film was actually released in Japan?

"Relatively speaking!" Jiang Xingwen said, "This movie doesn't make them mentally retarded like an anti-Japanese drama." The strength of Tsuyoshi Fujita satisfies the hearts of Japanese fans. ”

"There was some surprise. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.

This film is much friendlier than similar films.

But after all, it's still a movie that hits little Japan.

"What surprised me was that I didn't expect kung fu movies to be quite marketable!" Jiang Xingwen said with a smile.

Kung fu films have a very good market foundation in Southeast Asia and other places.

However, kung fu films fell silent with the decline of Xiangjiang movies.

"Jingwu Heroes" is now the highest-grossing kung fu film, and it is countless times higher than previous kung fu films.

This was beyond Jiang Xingwen's expectations, or everyone's expectations.

Before, it's not that no one has made kung fu movies.

Among them, there are also good word-of-mouth products, but the box office is really not good.

Who would have thought that "Jingwu Heroes" would be so ferocious.

"The box office is good, and it is not unrelated to the expansion of the film market. Zhang Pu said, ""Jingwu Heroes" has set a box office record for kung fu films, but in terms of influence, it may not be as good as the previous ones. ”

Jiang Xingwen nodded.

At this point, he has to admit that no matter how amazing the box office of "Jingwu Hero" is, it is far less popular than when kung fu films were popular, and it is far less influential.

If it was before, Zhang Chu might be able to rely on such a film to directly become popular in Southeast Asia.

And now?

It's just that I mixed a second or third line in China, and I am familiar with it in Southeast Asia.

If there are no works released there, it is estimated that no one will know each other for a while.

That's the impact gap.

"When will they arrive, teacher?" Zhang Pu then asked.

"Farewell My Concubine" was shortlisted for the best foreign language film, and Jiang Yun and other film creators were naturally invited.

Of course, not everyone will participate.

For example, Su Sheng will not.

Whether Su Sheng was invited or not, Zhang Pu didn't know, and even if he did, it was estimated that it wouldn't reach him.

On the red carpet of the Oscars, there are many people who want to leave, but not everyone can go.

As an investment producer, it is still very easy to get rid of Su Sheng.

Without him, it is estimated that people in China will notice.

Among the many Chinese actors, it is estimated that Xiao Xue has attracted the most attention.

She participated in both Oscar shortlisted films.

She will also come with Jiang Yun and the others.

In addition, Xu Jiahui will also be invited to come, and she will perform on stage.

And the song sung is naturally the theme song of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which won the best movie song.

She will also be the first Chinese singer to appear on the Oscar stage.

"I guess I'll be there this afternoon. Jiang Xingwen said, "I have arranged for someone to pick you up, why are you going to pick up the airport?"

"Forget it, I still have a scene to film. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.

"Looking for the Dragon" doesn't have many scenes here.

The filming went well, and the scene can be finished today, and the crew will go back first, and he will go to the Oscars, and then rush back to China, and there will be no delay.

"I don't know if we can break the spell this time and go back with one or two prizes. Jiang Xingwen said.

What needs to be done and what can be done has been done.

It's hard to say whether it will win the award or not.

This time, he also did a little bit to understand the competitors, and he was really not a weakling.

Of course, there is no weak person who can be shortlisted for the Oscars.

Shortlisted for nine awards, if they return empty-handed, I'm afraid it's not just their faces that don't look good.

To put it more broadly, it is to live up to the expectations of the people of the whole country.

"Look at your point. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"Pride and prejudice!" Jiang Xingwen shook his head and said.

It is too difficult for Chinese filmmakers to gain a foothold in Hollywood, and it is even more difficult to win an Oscar.

It's not just a matter of level and cultural differences.

And pride and prejudice!
