As soon as the shortlist of the Golden Dragon Awards was announced, the film industry was dumbfounded.

Oriental DreamWorks has been too ferocious this year.

Or so ferocious, to be precise.

In fact, they had already prepared for it before.

Whether it is Zhang Ke's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" or Jiang Yun's "Parasite", it will definitely shine at this year's Golden Dragon Awards.

After all, one was tested at the Oscars, while the other was tested at Cannes.

If these two films can win at the world-renowned film festival, then they will naturally be very bright at the Golden Dragon Awards.

But as soon as the shortlist was announced, they were still shocked.

Even if you are mentally prepared.

What shocked me was not how many awards these two films were shortlisted for, but how many awards the film and television company Oriental DreamWorks was shortlisted for.

Fourteen in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", eight in "Parasite", four in "Dragon Hunting", and one in "Jingwu Heroes".

A film and television company, shortlisted for twenty-five awards.

Of course, there are many here that are repetitive.

But it's just as impressive.

Moreover, the shortlisted awards are extremely popular.

"Produced by the East Factory, it must be a high-quality product!"

Again, this is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It seems that as long as the movies produced by Oriental DreamWorks are good movies.

However, when netizens counted the box office of the movie invested and produced by Oriental DreamWorks last year, it detonated the Internet.

That's amazing!

"The Richest Man in Xihong City", "Jingwu Hero", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Parasite", and "Looking for the Dragon" have a cumulative box office of more than 6 billion.

How much was the total box office in the country last year?

And that's just the domestic box office.

If you count the foreign box office, it is more than 10 billion.

Awesome, my East Factory!

Oriental DreamWorks is the most powerful film and television company in China.

Because in addition to movies, the results in TV series and variety shows are also very eye-catching.

The brand effect of Oriental DreamWorks has improved again.

"He wants to shoot "I Am Not the God of Medicine"?

Oriental DreamWorks has a lot of autonomy as a director.

There wasn't much intervention in what to shoot.

This may be because their boss is a director.

Of course, there must be a necessary risk assessment.

Is "I Am Not the God of Medicine" risky?

There will definitely be!

There is no film that is risk-free.

It's just that the risk is different.

The risk of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is obviously very small, and the investment in this film is not as large as imagined.

Even, if possible, Zhang Pu doesn't mind Oriental DreamWorks eating alone.

It's just a pity that some investment shares must still be taken out.

Lin Mu's two consecutive films have exceeded 3 billion, and his new film will naturally attract many investors.

Of course, taking out some investment shares does not mean that Oriental DreamWorks is at a loss.

There will definitely be more films.

In addition, there will be some exchange of interests in other areas.

"He made this film, which film will be arranged for the Spring Festival next year?" Jiang Xingwen said, "Let's not say whether his film is suitable for the Spring Festival, and it is estimated that it will be too late." ”

Lin Mu attaches great importance to this film, and before shooting, he plans to do some market research. Jiang Xingwen said, "In the past two days, he has been running to the hospital. ”

What are you doing in a hospital, it is naturally self-evident.

"Do you mean to let "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" be released during the Spring Festival?" Zhang Pu can be regarded as hearing Jiang Xingwen's purpose here.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Xingwen asked.

Zhang Pu must go home for the New Year every year, even if he participates in the Spring Festival Gala, he will fly back that night.

He seems to be deliberately trying to avoid the Spring Festival stalls for his films.

He wanted to spend time with his family during that time.

Zhang Pu never said this, but Jiang Xingwen saw it.

"Isn't it too early to say this now?" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "The movie "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" has not yet started filming! In addition, isn't there Wen Hao's "The Wandering Earth" and the teacher's "Truman's World"?"

"The post-production of special effects for "The Wandering Earth" will definitely be very long, and I am afraid it may not be completed before the Spring Festival. As for "Truman's World", my opinion is to go to the Cannes Film Festival or the Oscars first. Jiang Xingwen said.

Zhang Pu nodded.

Whether "Truman's World" can win at Cannes, Zhang Pu is not very clear, but the original version has won a lot of nominations at the Oscars.

The film is also suitable for taking the international route.

"There's no rush on this matter. Zhang Pu thought for a while and said, "I also have a lot of post-production special effects for my movie, let's take a look at the progress first! I prefer to release it on Christmas and New Year's Day." Otherwise, wouldn't we only have one "Ip Man" released this year?"

"The Spring Festival is the best schedule in China. Jiang Xingwen said.

He felt that it was a pity to miss the Spring Festival stalls.

It is estimated that I have tasted the sweetness of the Spring Festival stalls in the past two years.

If "Storm and Storm dominates the world" is released during the Spring Festival, it will definitely become the biggest winner.

"If "The Wandering Earth" can't catch up, then I will spend a month or two making a Chinese New Year comedy. Zhang Pu smiled and said.

"In a month or two, make a Chinese New Year comedy, and release it during the Spring Festival?" Jiang Xingwen looked at Zhang Pu in shock, and then said, "Are you kidding?"

"Do you think I'm joking?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid of ruining the reputation you've built up with great difficulty?" Jiang Xingwen said.

A month or two, that's too short!

What's more, no matter what the film looks like, I am afraid it will inevitably be questioned as a "money-making work".

However, Zhang Pu probably doesn't care about this.

It's not like he hasn't met before.

"I'll get the script out in two days, and then we'll talk about it?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Jiang Xingwen wanted to speak and stopped, seeing that Zhang Pu was so confident, he had no choice but to nod.

Two days later, Jiang Xingwen read the script handed to him by Zhang Pu, and looked a little weird.

This video ......

"Aren't you afraid that the fans of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will kill you? What are you? If you are ruthless, your own works will be ruined?"

After a while, Jiang Xingwen spoke.

The script that Zhang Pu gave him was naturally "East Becomes West"!

A film that parodies "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Or to be precise, a film that spoofs the characters of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Because this film has nothing to do with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

In addition to character names and martial arts names.

Why did you choose this film?

Naturally, it was because the original version of the film took a short time to shoot. Zhang Pu believes that he will definitely be able to get it in a month or two.

Of course, there are other aspects of the exam as well.

"You just said that you didn't do it?" Zhang Pu said, "If other people make this film, they may be scolded." But I'm the screenwriter of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", so it's completely different. ”

Jiang Xingwen frowned and thought about it.

What Zhang Pu said obviously makes sense. He spoofed his own work, what can others say?

Is there a head in this film?

Absolutely!

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a big hit, and the characters in it can be described as household names.

This film has a very high market base.

Moreover, "The Condor Heroes" will also be broadcast this year, so the market base of this movie will be expanded.

has the foundation of TV series accumulation, and has the appeal of Zhang Pu's screenwriter and director. The competitiveness of this film is definitely not low.

Moreover, the investment cost of this film is not high.

"I'm actually going to use an all-star lineup. Zhang Pu continued.

"All-star lineup?" Jiang Xingwen said with some surprise.

"All use the company's actors. Zhang Pu said, "Deng Kun plays Huang Yaoshi, Tang Rui plays the third princess, my brother plays Ouyang Feng, Huang Ye plays Hong Qi, Dong Qin plays the little junior sister, Ye Han plays Duan Wangye, Guo Yunxi plays Zhou Botong......"

"Who does Guo Yunxi play? Zhou Botong?" Jiang Xingwen was stunned.

Zhang Pu just nodded and smiled, but did not explain.

However, Jiang Xingwen quickly reacted.

In this movie, Zhou Botong and Wang Chongyang are unclear, and it is indeed better to use an actress to play Zhou Botong.

"As for the national teacher and the imperial concubine, let's talk about it!" Zhang Pu continued.

These two roles have a lot of roles, but Oriental DreamWorks doesn't seem to have any suitable actors.

"With such a lineup, the cost is not low. Jiang Xingwen said, "The risk of this film is ......"

Whether the style of this film can be accepted by the audience is debatable.

Then the stakes of this film are obviously not low. Of course, with the box office appeal of Zhang Pu's screenwriter and director, the risk is much reduced.

But if such a lineup is used again, then the risk is probably high.

Although they are all actors in the company, they can save a lot of salary, but the lineup is too strong!

Deng Kun, Tang Rui, Huang Ye, these three people are now on the front line.

And the salary is still high among the first-line ones.

In addition, after the release of "Ip Man" and "Storm and Clouds", Zhang Chu will also enter the front line nine times out of ten.

Dong Qin and Guo Yunxi are both second-tier top-notch popular actresses, coupled with Ye Han, a popular little fresh meat, this cast may be comparable to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"I'm pretty optimistic about this film. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "In addition to the salary, the production cost of this film is limited. Then let them not get paid, but box office dividends. ”

"This is a bit difficult for a strong man, right?" Jiang Xingwen frowned and said.

"I still wish they would get paid!" Zhang Pu pouted and said, "That's it, take the salary or get the dividends, let them choose for themselves." ”

"Are you really so optimistic about this film?" Jiang Xingwen said.

"This film is very suitable for the Spring Festival. Zhang Pu smiled and nodded.

He is indeed very optimistic about this film.

Although this video is a spoof, it may make people laugh!

This kind of film is rarely popular during the Spring Festival.

The box office of the original version is more than 20 million, and it is only in Xiangjiang.

And this film was introduced to the mainland, and it was also very popular, and there is obviously no situation of adapting to the water and soil.

In today's film market, Zhang Pu does not know how far the box office of this film will reach, but the possibility of losing money is very small.

Jiang Xingwen nodded and didn't say anything more.

The films released during the Spring Festival this year have not yet been fully drawn, and the Spring Festival time for next year is still there.

Zhang Pu is so confident, Jiang Xingwen is looking forward to this film.

He really didn't see from the script how this film could make Zhang Pu so confident.
