Chapter 475: Zhang Ke: You won't be eyeing my film
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!
Oriental DreamWorks does not have any hard requirements for its artists in terms of romance.
Of course, if your popularity is damaged because of a relationship, the company's public relations will be useless, and the resources will definitely be affected.
What kind of profit you create for the company, then you will have the corresponding rights and benefits.
Although it is impossible to be absolutely fair, it is also relatively fair.
Ye Fan is the most profitable artist in Oriental DreamWorks, and he is now among the top traffic, not only in China, but also in Japan, South Korea and other countries and regions.
But even so, the company did not beat him up for falling in love.
Of course, from the perspective of the company and his personal interests, their relationship was not announced, and even deliberately concealed.
If you want to announce your relationship, you need to wait for the time to come.
The news of Deng Kun's marriage was actually known to the media, but under the public relations of Oriental DreamWorks, the news did not spread.
Oriental DreamWorks is now the largest film and television company in China, and its star artists are even more famous.
A lot of the media will give it face.
Of course, there is another main reason, the news of Deng Kun's marriage is actually not so exciting, especially since the bride is still an outsider.
Give Oriental DreamWorks face, and Oriental DreamWorks will naturally return the favor and give those media some other news.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is a few days apart on the National Day, so this year's National Day file starts from September 20th.
The movie "Havoc in Heaven", with the popularity and popularity accumulated by "Journey to the West", TV series, cartoons, and countless peripheral products, has undoubtedly become the most anticipated movie in the National Day file.
This film is also a very promising film in the market.
Therefore, the film schedule won the first place in the National Day file.
This is a blockbuster, at least in the eyes of those in the circle. Because whether it is a TV series or a cartoon, the click-through rate on video websites is still high, and it has always been on the best-selling list.
Under such circumstances, the first film adapted, and the most exciting story of this IP, is naturally highly anticipated by fans.
Therefore, there are not many blockbusters released during the same period.
In addition, there are two "blockbusters" that have been released, but both the investment and the popularity are very different from this film.
The premiere of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", Zhang Pu naturally participated, and he participated in the screenwriting of this film.
However, unlike in the past, this time there was no Xu Jiahui with him.
Today's Xu Jiahui has almost turned off all her work and is at home to raise a baby.
Naturally, I won't come to the cinema to watch a movie.
The plot of the film, in fact, is nothing to praise.
The film itself is a standard commercial blockbuster, and the biggest highlight of it is the special effects.
Of course, the film adaptation will naturally add some interpretations of the original work.
For example, Sun Wukong's havoc in the heavenly palace and the struggle against fate are even more starry.
"If the heavens crush me, and split the heavens, if the earth detains me, and crushes the earth, I am born free, and who dares to be high. ”
"God is not greedy, why can't he tolerate a little disrespect for him? God is not evil, why should he hold the fate of thousands of living beings on the earth in his hands?"
In the film, Zhang Pu added some classic dialogues from "The Legend of Wukong".
Of course, these dialogues are also integrated into the plot, not just taken out to pretend.
Sun Wukong is also a little more domineering than the characters in TV series and cartoons. The Monkey King in this film is really like a demon king.
Fighting against fate is what this film shows, but it is also superficial and does not exaggerate too much.
There are other things mixed in there, such as oppression and resistance.
The oppression of people by immortals, especially on "demons".
Of course, in this film, calculations are naturally indispensable.
Sun Wukong finally couldn't escape the fate of being crushed under Wuzhi Mountain.
The film is visually shocking, and the ignition point is also very explosive, Su Yuan has undoubtedly worked hard to mobilize the audience's emotions.
"Director Su should be able to gain a firm foothold in the film industry with this film. Zhang Ke smiled and said to Zhang Pu, "Your company will have another director with box office power." ”
"Then borrow Zhang Daoji's words. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
Oriental DreamWorks has a director with box office appeal, naturally Zhang Pu is the most, although Jiang Yun is famous, but in terms of box office appeal, he is still weaker than Zhang Pu.
In addition, in addition to Zhang Pu and Jiang Yun, Lin Mu and Wen Hao are all directors with great box office appeal.
Secondly, I'm afraid it will belong to Tong Cheng, as well as Jiang Bin and Wang Hao.
In addition, with "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" and "Iron Fist of Shame", he has successfully entered the film industry.
Like Su Yuan, he was the head director of the Oriental DreamWorks TV series.
Now both have successfully advanced to the film industry.
This is also a kind of progress.
In the TV circle, the two of them really don't have much room for development.
"When will Director Zhang's film start?" asked Zhang Pu with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhang Ke smiled bitterly.
He already regretted taking this play.
Not to mention anything else, balancing several major investment companies, he is already anxious.
If you change to a director with less qualifications and lower prestige, I am afraid that this film will be even more delayed.
"It is estimated that the end of the year went. Zhang Ke shook his head and said.
"Then you didn't go behind me. Zhang Pu said a little jokingly, "You have been preparing this film for a long time!"
"You just gloat!" Zhang Ke scolded with a smile.
Zhang Pu laughed, he was indeed a little gloating.
If the four film and television companies jointly invest in the future, I am afraid that there will be no one who can accept it and is willing to take over.
At least Zhang Ke will definitely not take it.
"You're not going to be eyeing my film, are you?" Zhang Ke suddenly looked at Zhang Pu and said.
Zhang Ke is a top director in China and the director with the most box office appeal.
But if he is against Zhang Pu, he really doesn't have the slightest confidence.
Will it be?
It doesn't have to be impossible.
What is the purpose of the joint investment of those film and television companies, Zhang Ke actually has some guesses, but he is just too lazy to get used to it.
"Aren't you afraid of going up against Director Zhang's film?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
I believe you're a ghost!
This guy's "Kung Fu Panda" was jointly sniped by several other domestic film and television companies, wouldn't he be thinking of sniping his own film to retaliate against those film and television companies?
Zhang Pushi's character, Zhang Ke is still clear.
No way?
Zhang Ke felt the need to talk to those film and television companies.
He is also one of the investors in this film.
"Do you think it's possible to get Director Zhang's film studio under our company?" Jiang Xingwen said with a smile as he looked at Zhang Ke's departing back.
"You don't want to recruit all the top domestic directors, do you?" Zhang Pu shook his head and said.
"I didn't think about it. Jiang Xingwen shook his head and said, "You can't do everything." Today, Oriental DreamWorks is a monopoly. If the Chinese film market loses its competitiveness, it may not be a good thing for us. ”
Zhang Pu smiled, noncommittal.
Jiang Xingwen's words just now were just casual at all.
However, if Zhang Ke enters the Oriental DreamWorks, the company's market value will definitely rise a lot.
"Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" has a lot of publicity momentum and popularity, and the box office on the first day directly broke 300 million, winning the single-day box office championship.
However, the film's reputation can only be regarded as good.
This is true both for critics and for fans.
Of course, word-of-mouth is relatively better among fans.
One of the most praised is undoubtedly the special effects scene inside.
I have to say that there are many blockbusters in Oriental DreamWorks, and the special effects are absolutely amazing, which can be compared with those Hollywood blockbusters.
Even the special effects of some online movies are very amazing.
This is also the reason why the reputation of Oriental DreamWorks films has always been good.
A film cannot be applauded by everyone.
There are naturally no more than a few people who complain about this film, but it is not an egg.
This film has a bit of a [fo] flavor of Hollywood popcorn movies.
"Havoc in Heaven" broke one billion in three days and two billion in ten days, and won the single-day box office champion for half a month.
If it weren't for a Hollywood blockbuster, the single-day box office champion would probably have to sit for a while.
"Three billion is hopeless. Jiang Xingwen said with some regret.
"It's already pretty good. Zhang Pu shook his head and smiled.
The box office of "Havoc in Heaven" is actually better than expected. This is also due to the development of the domestic film market.
"It's a pity that the foreign box office is a little worse. Jiang Xingwen said.
"Isn't that expected?" Zhang Pu said.
"Havoc in Heaven" is still extremely good in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia and other countries and regions. After all, the TV series and cartoons of "Journey to the West" have a lot of influence in these countries and regions.
However, the North American box office only exceeded $50 million, less than half of "Kung Fu". Of course, "Havoc in Heaven" has invested 500 million, and such a box office can be regarded as a big profit.
What's more, after this film became popular, the sales of film and television peripheral products related to "Journey to the West" also soared.
"Director Su is going to continue filming Journey to the West in the next film?" Zhang Pu then asked.
"Hmm!" Jiang Xingwen said, "He seems to want to shoot 'Three Dozen White Bone Spirits', and it is estimated that he will come to you to discuss it in two days." ”
Su Yuan continues to make movies on the theme of Journey to the West, and Zhang Pu is a person who can't get around. Zhang Puke is not only a top screenwriter, but also the original author of "Journey to the West".
"Let him go to the screenwriter department and discuss it. Zhang Pu said, "In two days, "Inception" will be launched, and I don't have the energy and time to discuss the script with him." ”
Jiang Xingwen nodded.
The screenwriting department of Oriental DreamWorks is still full of talent.
Of course, the reason why it attracts so many excellent screenwriters has a lot to do with the mechanism that Oriental DreamWorks has to do with screenwriters.
Nowadays, the brand of Oriental DreamWorks is too closely linked to Zhang Pu, which is not a good thing from the company's point of view.
Zhang Pu intentionally or unintentionally reduced his influence on other films, and Jiang Xingwen was especially unclear.
It's a pity that Zhang Pu's influence is too great, and his influence on Oriental DreamWorks is too great, so it's so easy to reduce.
However, Oriental DreamWorks has no Zhang Pu's script, and it will not be blind.
