Chapter 190: Teasing talents is the right way to open up
"The Nameless" has an excellent reputation, and if the box office presents the assets of a dark horse, it will undoubtedly be a critical blow to Feng Jiashan and his "Qin Huang".
An investment is only one-tenth of one-self, a film that is not even one-tenth of one-tenth of oneself from preparation to release, and the word-of-mouth box office has surpassed his time-consuming and laborious work "Qin Huang"?
What will the media say then?
What would fans say?
The most important thing is that the media has pulled "Emperor Qin" and "The Nameless" into the ring.
There will definitely be a contrast between the two films.
Nothing stands up to comparison.
Feng Jiashan has not seen "The Nameless", judging from the reactions of all parties, this film is indeed a rare good film.
A good movie doesn't necessarily have a good box office.
This is generally the case in literary films.
But Zhang Pu's film is not a literary film, but a commercial film with many comedy elements.
A very down-to-earth comedy like "Crazy Stone".
If you think about the box office of "Crazy Stone", you can expect that the box office of "Nobody" will not be too bad.
What's more, today's Zhang Pu is not much higher than "Crazy Stone" in terms of box office appeal.
This may also be the reason why major theaters have such a high box office evaluation of "Nobody".
Feng Jiashan is a top director in China, but he can't interfere with the film schedule at all.
Huang Cheng can plug in some, but even if he intervenes, the schedule of "Nobody" will not be reduced too much.
In that case, Xu Jiadong will also have a reason to intervene and let Wanhui Group's theater chain reduce the schedule of "Qin Huang". For Orange Entertainment, the gains outweigh the losses.
What's more, "Nobody" also has two investors and producers and distributors: Huaying and Guangyun Film and Television.
How can these two film and television companies, especially Huaying and Orange Entertainment, not be afraid?
The film schedule is a foregone conclusion.
Of course, if the box office of "Nobody" can't afford the first day of the film schedule, and the increase on the next day, he doesn't mind interfering, which will leave the other party with nothing to say.
But "Emperor Qin" is not the same.
Spell issuance?
Start with the propaganda?
Today, these methods are useless. Now what is spelled is the market consideration of the film itself.
If fans like it, then you're a winner.
Fans don't like it, no matter how good the reputation is, it won't help. At most, I regret to say a word: It's a pity, it's not popular!
"The Nameless" won 18% of the film schedule, and Zhang Pu was still very surprised.
After all, there were three blockbusters and one quasi-blockbuster released at the same time.
Although the film schedule is not based on the size of the investment, the larger the investment, the greater the market reaction.
This also made Zhang Pu once again sigh at the great benefits of cooperating with a person with a cinema background like Xu Jiadong.
Of course, the other two investors and distributors, Huaying and Guangyun, also contributed a lot.
If Zhang Pu is the only one to invest in the distribution, Orange Entertainment can minimize the film schedule of "The Nameless".
Orange Entertainment has this ability.
And now, Orange Entertainment obviously won't do anything about it.
No wonder everyone says that eating alone is difficult to move an inch in this circle.
Zhang Pu divides part of the profits, but what he can get may not be less.
There is a kind of wisdom between gains and losses.
With such a schedule of films and such momentum, Zhang Pu is full of confidence in the box office of "Nobody".
"Boss, let me accompany you to Hangzhou, I'm not just your assistant, but also your bodyguard!" Tan Siming said.
Zhang Pu asked him to take a holiday and go home early for the New Year.
But Tan Siming knows that Zhang Pu went to Hangzhou to participate in the Spring Festival Gala of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, and he was used in many places.
He has been with Zhang Pu for so long, and there are not many times when he is really busy.
Now that it is the time to employ people, if he leaves, with such a high salary, he will be a little weak.
"There shouldn't be anything going on over there!" Zhang Pu said, "After I got off the stage, I flew straight back to my hometown." ”
"Don't you know your popularity? Are you not afraid of being surrounded by fans?" Tan Siming said, "When you take the plane back to your hometown, I will also fly back to your hometown! What's more, I have learned about the flights and the plane tickets have been booked." ”
"Okay!" Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment and said. "Then you won't be at home for much longer this year. ”
"The Nameless" was released during the Spring Festival, although before this, Zhang Pu took the main creator to many cities, but after the film is released, it will definitely go around to promote.
Zhang Pu, as the biggest buying point of this film, naturally cannot be absent.
This year, Zhang Pu couldn't stay in his hometown for two days.
Hangcheng, a beautiful city.
Zhang Pu came for the first time, but he didn't have time to look around.
He got off the plane and went directly to the stadium where the Spring Festival Gala was held.
Thankfully, he wasn't recognized by fans.
The Spring Festival Gala organized by local satellite TV is rarely held in its own studio.
Capacity is limited.
For a Spring Festival Gala, the TV station makes more than just advertising.
Zhang Pu is not the star of the finale, and he appears at the front.
This is one of the conditions for Zhang Pu to participate.
Zhang Pu's coffee position is not very high, but his popularity is high and the topic is enough, of course, the most important thing is that he doesn't take on performances very much.
He is different from other artists, and he is completely able to do these things independently.
Other artists, no matter how popular they are, no matter how big their wrists are, as long as they get through their company, they have to participate if they don't participate, and the price can be suppressed.
Zhang Pu is different.
If you can't make him feel tempted and give him a high price, it's no fun.
"Brother Tao?"
When Zhang Pu finished the rehearsal, he saw Chen Huatao walking towards him, and immediately got up and said with some surprise.
"What, surprised to see me?" Chen Huatao said with a smile.
"I thought you were going to Nanhu Satellite TV!" Zhang Pu said.
Chen Huatao is one of the mentors of "The Voice of China".
Of course, this show is estimated to be broadcast in the summer, and there is still half a year to go.
However, the mentor has been decided.
Mentor candidates, Zhang Pu recommended two, one is Chen Huatao, and the other is Zhou Liang. Both were judges of "New Singer-Songwriter".
The program team naturally agreed with Zhang Pu's recommendation, but Zhou Liang's discussion went very smoothly.
He's all about music.
Chen Huatao has some problems there, his current work is focused on movies, not because he doesn't want to take on this show. Zhang Pu personally persuaded him, and he wasted a lot of tongues, so Chen Huatao nodded and agreed.
"There are invitations over there, but I agreed to come here last year. Chen Huatao explained.
If Chen Huatao doesn't go to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, then the local satellite TV Spring Festival Gala will basically invite him.
Last year, he seemed to go to Yenching TV.
"I watched your new film "The Nameless", it's very good!" Chen Huatao said with a smile.
"Thank you!" Zhang Pu was a little surprised when he heard this, but he also hurriedly thanked him.
Chen Huatao may not be as popular as he was back then, but he is also one of the most box office appealing actors in China.
He's busy.
In this case, I will also take the time to watch "The Nameless", which may be an exaggeration to be flattered, but it is inevitable to be surprised.
After all, the film is only being screened, not released.
"Actually, I can also play the role of Ma Xianyong. Chen Huatao said to Zhang Pu with a little joking.
can act, but may not be suitable.
Chen Huatao has played many roles, but I am afraid that there is really no one who is at the bottom of society like Ma Xianyong.
His image and temperament do not match.
Chen Huatao wants to act, probably because he wants to make a breakthrough in this.
"Brother Tao, my investment in this film is only 30 million. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
Although Chen Huatao's salary is not the highest in China, it is definitely the first echelon.
"Nobody" is aimed at the domestic market, and the overseas market has not been considered at all, and it is not necessary to invite Chen Huatao.
Most of the films that invited Chen Huatao were not interested in his domestic box office appeal, but his box office appeal in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions.
Chen Huatao's appeal in China may not be much stronger than Zhang Pu today.
"If you have any good roles in the future, remember to find me, and give me a proper salary. Chen Huatao said, "If you don't give it, you can do it." ”
"I take this seriously!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
really invited Chen Huatao, where may not be paid, and it is impossible to give too low.
Of course, a friendship price is still possible.
However, there will definitely be no chance of cooperation in the short term.
Zhang Pu's next film, the male protagonist has been decided, even if it is a male supporting role, Chen Huatao is not suitable.
As for the next film, Zhang Pu is ready to praise Zhang Chu, but he hasn't thought about making that film yet.
It is impossible for him to invite Chen Huatao to match Zhang Chu.
The supporting character's wrist is big, and it is very likely to obscure the protagonist's light.
Inviting big names to be matched with newcomers will backfire nine times out of ten.
Not to mention the big names as a match, the newcomer as a supporting role, without a little strength, will also backfire.
Why was Huang Ze's acting skills labeled with the word "hehe" by Zhang Pu, wasn't it because his acting skills were beaten by Zhou Chaohua in the film?
Zhang Pu praises people, he will not use people to praise people, but will use drama to praise people.
People praise people, and if you are not careful, there will be drawbacks, but it is much easier to operate.
This is also a common method used by many film and television companies.
Teasing people, everyone knows, that is the correct way to open people.
It's so easy to find a good show.
Zhang Pu naturally does not have this problem.
He had a lot of fun on his mind.
Chen Huatao chatted with Zhang Pu for a while and left.
He's going to have to rehearse on stage.
Chen Huatao has a big wrist, but his reputation is very good, and he has never been rumored to be a big name or anything.
If you change someone, you may not be able to come to the rehearsal in advance.
It was getting dark.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV's Spring Festival Gala is also about to start.
Zhang Pu has been in the rest room and did not go to the door.
It's not that he is on a show, but that he doesn't have a wide range of contacts in the circle, and there are many invited guests, I'm afraid that except for Chen Huatao, Zhang Pu doesn't know any of them.
Not familiar, to be exact.
It's mixed in a circle, and I've heard of it somewhat.
Soon, the staff asked Zhang Pu to prepare for the stage.
Zhang Pu sang two songs, one "Horse Husbandry City", which was just a wave of advertising for "The Nameless".
As for the "advertisement" promised by Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, it is nothing more than mentioning that he is the director of the film "The Nameless" released on the first day of the Lunar New Year when introducing Zhang Pu.
Although it is only one sentence, the publicity effect has also been achieved.
