Did Zhang Pu lose?

It depends on how you do it.

The original version of "The Mummy" broke $400 million at the box office, and the film market at that time was nowhere near what it is today.

If it is really filmed, even if the box office is just the same as the original, it will be a lucrative film.

In this way, Zhang Pu not only lost, but also suffered a huge loss.

The suspension of the release of Sean Sommers' film did give "Dragon Quest" a lot of advantage.

But that little bit is cheap, compared to this loss, it is far from the same.

However, no one is sure whether that "Mummy" can be a big hit in this world.

Even if it is filmed, it must be extremely risky.

It is not necessarily impossible to hit the streets.

A movie that was amazing ten years ago may not be amazing ten years later.

This is like why Zhang Pu upgraded the special effects of "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World".

What's more, that movie doesn't necessarily have no chance to be made into a movie.

The question is only whether Zhang Pu is willing or not.

"There are film and television companies in Hollywood that are interested in your script for The Mummy!" Jiang Xingwen said to Zhang Pu.

This lawsuit still caused a great response in Hollywood.

Although Sean Sommers has repeatedly denied it, saying that he has not read Zhang Pu's script, naturally he can't talk about plagiarism?

He did discuss with Zhang Pu about the film about Egyptian mummies, and was also inspired by Zhang Pu.

It's just inspiration, how can it be considered plagiarism?

He didn't deny the recording, and he couldn't deny it.

However, the eyes of the masses are bright. What's more, since you are inspired by Zhang Pu, why did the film "The Mummy" cooperate with Orange and Yellow Entertainment instead of Zhang Pu's Oriental DreamWorks?

There is still a problem with character!

Doesn't he know the relationship between Oriental DreamWorks and Orange Entertainment?

Of course, the real crisis of Sean Sommers is not "plagiarism", but the suspension of his "Mummy" in China.

It will be released in a few days, but it can't be released, is it really just that the film has fallen into a "plagiarism" storm?

Apparently not!

Moreover, Orange Entertainment is still a top film and television company in Huaxia, so doesn't it have any connections?

This can only show that Oriental DreamWorks' connections are no worse than those of Orange Entertainment.

The relationship between Oriental DreamWorks and Huaying is easy to find out.

Huaying holds the right to introduce foreign films from Huaxia.

It is normal for people to seek good fortune and avoid harm.

How could Hollywood studios take the risk of working with Sean Sommers?

"Forget it!" Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "Let's talk about this later! Those people probably didn't really like my script, they just wanted to use this matter to hype up." ”

I haven't read his script, and the emotional interest is naturally not the script itself, but the popularity of the script.

Jiang Xingwen nodded.

He also didn't approve of selling the script at this time.

What's more, if you really want to buy it, Zhang Pu has already sold it to Sean Sommos.

If it is a cooperation, those film and television companies in Hollywood may not be willing.

Regardless of Sean Sommers' character, there is no doubt about his ability.

With Zhang Pu's creativity and some plots, his "Mummy" will not be too bad, and judging from the reaction in North America, the word-of-mouth box office of this film is good.

If it weren't for the scandal of "plagiarism", I'm afraid it might really explode.

The kind that is hot all over the world.

This is also one reason why Hollywood film and television companies are interested in Zhang Pu's script.

All because of the word "profit".

Jiang Xingwen does not agree with selling the script at this time, and there is another reason, that is, if this script is filmed, if the reputation is not as good as Sean Sommers's, it is obviously not a good thing for Zhang Pu.

As for why Zhang Pu refused?

He didn't think about it so much, purely because he didn't have a shortage of scripts at all.

This script can't be filmed, and he won't be heartbroken.

"Looking for the Dragon" will be released in a few days, and Zhang Pu is still running with the main creator to promote it, and naturally he is inevitably asked about topics related to "The Mummy".

This topic is so hot, how can it not be asked.

"Director Zhang, why did you choose to sue Sean Sommers instead of settling it privately?

"The Mummy" was suspended in China, and the biggest profit was undoubtedly "Looking for the Dragon".

Of course, other films released at the same time have also made more or less profits, but they can't be compared with "Looking for the Dragon".

This reporter's question is obviously not so friendly, and it is almost said that Zhang Pu sued Sean Sommos in order to get rid of "The Mummy" and let "Dragon Quest" dominate in this schedule.

"Do you think it can be solved privately?" Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "Whether it's creativity or copyright, it should be respected." Prosecution is just a means of protecting rights. As for whether "The Mummy" can be released in China, it's not for me to decide. ”

"What does Director Zhang think about the fact that "The Mummy" cannot be released in China? Losing its biggest competitor, is the box office of "Dragon Quest" expected to break 2 billion?"

Another reporter asked.

"How would you feel when someone plagiarized your idea, plagiarized your script, and then someone used it to snipe at your movie?"

In other words: someone plagiarized the creativity of Chinese filmmakers, plagiarized the scripts of Chinese filmmakers, and then used them to earn money from Chinese fans. As a fan of Chinese movies, can you accept it?"

"What qualifications does this kind of film that disrespects Chinese filmmakers is to be released in China? If this film can't be released, shouldn't it be applauded?" Zhang Pu continued, "As for whether "Looking for the Dragon" is expected to break 2 billion, it is unknown, I, Zhang Pu, never say big things. ”

All:......

Never big talking?

Small goal, box office over 1 billion?

Are you sure it's not a big deal.

People in the entertainment industry will leave three points of leeway when they speak, so as not to be slapped in the face, and Zhang Pu is even more so.

From this point of view, Zhang Pu's small goal of a billion box office does not seem to be a big deal!

Could it be that breaking 2 billion is a big talk?

Zhang Pu has no confidence in the box office of "Looking for the Dragon" to break 2 billion!

"Director Zhang, I heard that many Hollywood film and television companies are interested in your script about Egyptian mummies, will you cooperate with them and shoot it?"

This reporter is still very well informed.

Of course, this matter is actually not a secret, and many people in the circle know about it.

"The creativity has been plagiarized, and the plot is similar, the value of my script has been greatly reduced, and whether there is any value of filming is debatable. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.

Zhang Pu didn't say it to death, but the value of his script was greatly reduced, which is an indisputable fact.

Many people only saw the benefits of "Looking for the Dragon" after "The Mummy" was stopped, but they didn't see Zhang Pu's loss in this matter.

As soon as he said this, many people suddenly understood that Zhang Pu would sue Sean Sommos.

The script of a commercial blockbuster, the script of a movie that may be a global hit, is plagiarized creatively, plagiarized the plot, and made a big discount to its value.

This loss is not ordinary!

I don't know why, many people began to sympathize with Zhang Pu.

"Looking for the Dragon" has no competitors in the same schedule, but the publicity still hasn't stopped.

The momentum is so great that there is no difference for a while.

Many people can see that Oriental DreamWorks wants to take advantage of the dominance of the same schedule to break the unattainable box office record.

With the 2 billion box office mark, Zhang Pu's "Looking for the Dragon" may not have no chance.

December 23rd, evening.

"Looking for the Dragon" held a premiere and invited many filmmakers in the circle, as well as film critics and media.

Zhang Ke came, Jiang Yun and other directors of Oriental DreamWorks came.

In addition, Xu Ming came, and Yuan Hong also came.

There are a lot of Hong Kong filmmakers.

Although there was no premiere, it was a gathering of big names and bright stars.

"Director Zhang!"

"Director Xu!"

"When do you have time to chat?" Xu Ming said with a smile.

"How about Ming'er to the company?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Chen Huatao pulls the strings, and Xu Ming will accept the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series nine times out of ten.

"Good!" Xu Ming said.

He took over the "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" series, and the pressure was not small. Especially after the success of Zhang Pu's "Looking for the Dragon".

If you are not careful, you will not be able to protect the evening.

Although the pressure was great, Xu Ming chose to face the difficulties.

One is that he really likes the series.

Another reason is nothing more than profit-driven.

Directors have box office dividends.

With Zhang Pu's "Looking for the Dragon" as the foundation, the second film, how bad can the box office be?

What's more, Xu Ming is also a director with a heart, he is a director who has been famous for many years, and he doesn't think that he is worse than Zhang Pu.

The main creator of the film, filmmakers in the circle, film critics, and the media have all been present, and the hall of hundreds of people is full.

Zhang Pu also talked nonsense, said a few words briefly, and then the film began.

No matter how much you brag about it, don't you have to use a film in the end?

At the beginning of the film, it is a huge ancient tomb with no depth.

Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Shirley Yang hung the coffin with the flying dragon claw, the candle was extinguished, and Shirley Yang proposed to retreat, not to break the ancestral rules.

The rooster cries and the lights go out without touching the gold, retreat!

Wang Kaixuan disagreed, he had already reached this point and didn't want to quit, Hu Bayi didn't say anything, stared at the veil of the corpse, and couldn't help but open it and take a look, the woman in the coffin turned out to be Ding Sitian, the moment the veil of the dead body was lifted, the coffin collapsed, Ding Sitian opened his eyes and stretched out his hand, Hu Bayi grabbed her and didn't catch her, Ding Sitian's bright clothes dispersed, and he was dressed as a young man and fell into the abyss.

The film begins with a tomb robbery.

However, it was just a dream of Hu Bayi.

Hu Bayi woke up from his dream, because he was tired of wandering around, Hu Bayi had already immigrated to the United States at this time, and he and Wang Kaixuan were chased by the immigration bureau by people selling fake antiquities on the street.

Shirley Young drove over to rescue them.

Wang Kaixuan was angry, everyone knew that the original commanding captain of the gold school was now reduced to a street vendor and was chased by the immigration bureau all over the street, and the scenery of the past no longer existed.

Hu Bayi reminded Wang Kaixuan that he had sworn to agree to stop, and Wang Kaixuan used the excuse that what he said at that time did not count, and he did not want to admit that he had washed his hands in the golden basin, so he encouraged Hu Bayi to fight the rivers and lakes again. Hu Bayi threw his gold talisman into the water, making Wang Kaixuan die forever.
