Chapter 383: The Best Response

As a fairy tale movie, "Death" naturally involves a lot of special effects.

The investment cost of the film is naturally not low, and it is even more than "Wolf Warrior 2".

This film was promoted as "the first Xianxia movie in China" from the beginning, but unfortunately it did not succeed in opening the domestic Xianxia film market.

There were the first people to eat crabs, and there were the first people to eat poisonous mushrooms.

"Death" is obviously not eating crabs.

"The special effects of this film are made by our company, right?" Zhang Pu asked.

"The special effects of TV and movies are all about. Jiang Xingwen nodded and said, "It turns out that no matter how good the special effects are, they can't save a bad movie." ”

"Nothing but special effects. ”

This is what many fans have to say about this film.

The special effects are really good, and they can even be said to be quite amazing. This is not unrelated to the fact that investors are willing to spend money on special effects.

But a film can't be bought by fans just by relying on special effects.

"With an Internet of more than two million words, it is not easy to adapt a TV series, let alone a movie. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.

The Internet is generally very large, and it is very difficult to adapt, especially this kind of Xianxia.

This involves the main plot, the side plot.

In fact, this kind of film is not suitable for film adaptation.

"No wonder you objected to the adaptation of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" into a movie in the first place. Jiang Xingwen said.

The movie "Leaving the Dead" hit the street, and the value of this IP plummeted, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to have related film and television works.

Zhang Pu smiled, but didn't say anything.

Adapting "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" into a movie, it is better to shoot "The Legend of Shushan" directly!

Of course, Zhang Pu opposes adapting it into a movie, and a big reason is that he is not optimistic about the film market for such films.

In the past life, all such films hit the streets, and in today's world, it seems that they can't escape this curse.

However, in Zhang Pu's view, the director and screenwriter have an unshirkable responsibility for the street of "Leaving the Dead".

This is not the pot of the market.

This film pounced, and it is estimated that no film and television company has touched this kind of movie for a long time.

Of course, the TV series says otherwise.

"Death" hit the street, for "Wolf Warrior 2", it does have immeasurable benefits.

On the second day of the film's release, with its super bad reputation, it fell directly to the 100 million mark, although it still ranks second in the single-day box office list, but compared with "Wolf Warrior 2", which still breaks 100 million in a single-day box office, there is a gap of tens of millions.

And "Wolf Warrior 2" also became the first to break 4 billion and 4.1 billion...... of the film.

"Wolf Warrior 2" continues to be the single-day box office champion.

It's just that no one thought that this single-day box office champion would be directly won for more than a month.

During this period, many films were released, one of which was a big investment.

It's a pity that it still failed to win the single-day box office champion of "Wolf Warrior 2".

"Wolf Warrior 2" has also become the longest film to win the single-day box office.

For more than a month, throughout the summer, the Chinese film industry was in fear of being dominated by "Wolf Warrior 2".

Countless films tremble under it.

The film schedule of "Wolf Warrior 2" is constantly decreasing, and the box office is also decreasing.

However, even if it falls out as the single-day box office champion more than a month after its release, it still ranks in the top three.

At this time, "Wolf Warrior 2" has already exceeded 5 billion.

"Leaving the Dead" has already been painted, and the final box office is less than 500 million.

If the overseas box office is not good, losing money is ironclad.

There is no doubt that "Wolf Warrior 2" became the first to break 5 billion and 5.1 billion...... of the film.

Well, the film will not break the 5.5 billion mark at the box office in the end.

However, at this time, "Wolf Warrior 2" has become the highest-grossing film in the global single market.

The film broke the 5 billion mark, and Oriental DreamWorks naturally held a grand celebration banquet.

This is not the first time that a celebration banquet has been held.

Previously, "Wolf Warrior 2" became the first film to break the 4 billion mark, and Oriental DreamWorks had already held a grand celebration banquet.

But even so, this time it still attracted countless media reporters.

"Director Zhang, the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" exceeded 5 billion, did you ever think about it?" a reporter asked Zhang Pu.

The box office of this film once again proves that two billion is really just a "small goal".

Zhang Pu is still the same Zhang Pu, he is really humble, even if he says that the film breaks the box office of 2 billion, it is only a small goal.

"Didn't think about it, but fantasized about it. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Did he think about it?

I've really thought about it.

After all, the box office of the original film broke 5.6 billion.

Now, this film is two or three hundred million worse than the original box office. But this is indeed a surprise for Zhang Pu.

He never expected this film to break 5 billion at all.

The box office in his heart is only expected to break four billion.

After all, this film is different from the original, and it is not a 3D version.

The effect of the original 3D version is very good, and the promotion of the box office cannot be ignored.

When the reporters heard it, they naturally understood the meaning of Zhang Pu's words.

"Wolf Warrior 2" broke the box office of 5 billion, which was also unexpected by Zhang Pu.

"What is the box office target set by Director Zhang for your next film?" said a reporter with a smile.

Zhang Pu's "small goal" has now been played by netizens.

"Don't pay for it!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"Why does Director Zhang have such low requirements for himself?" a reporter complained, "Can't you set your goals a little higher?"

"It's not low. Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "I have invested more than one billion yuan in my new film, and it is difficult to recover the cost if the global box office is not three billion." The box office is 3 billion, this goal is still low?"

Three billion?

It really doesn't seem to be low.

It's just that it's not low for other directors, but for Zhang Pu, it doesn't seem to be high.

Perhaps, without the global box office, the domestic market alone can return to the cost.

"Wolf Warrior 2" exploded at the box office, which stimulated the domestic film market to a certain extent.

Many films will rise a lot at the box office.

What's more, who doesn't know that Zhang Pu's next film has already shouted out to enter the international market.

I think his next film will not be as bad as the overseas box office of "Wolf Warrior 2".

Zhang Pu's grasp of the international market is recognized as the best in the domestic film industry.

"What does Director Zhang think about the unsatisfactory overseas box office of "Wolf Warrior 2"?" a reporter asked.

"It's not ideal depending on what you expect. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "The overseas box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" has actually exceeded expectations. In my opinion, it's still ideal. ”

Although the overseas box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" is not very good, it is not even as good as his previous "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Storm and Storm Dominating the World", but it is indeed much better than expected.

Of course, it's much better than the original.

"When I wrote the script for the film "Wolf Warrior 2", I knew that the overseas box office was not very good. Zhang Pu continued, "What's more, there are still so many people in China who don't like this film, let alone foreign fans." ”

This film was originally made for domestic fans.

"Wolf Warrior 2" has an amazing box office and an amazing reputation.

But there are also many people who criticize this film in one way or another.

Zhang Pu didn't bother to respond to this.

Of course, Zhang Pu didn't answer, the publicity team and crisis public relations team of Oriental DreamWorks didn't go back, and the company obviously wouldn't sit back and watch those people lead the rhythm.

Even many insiders can't help but speak out, as for whether those people spoke out because of the film itself, or for other reasons, it is unknown.

The box office may not be able to test the quality of a film, but it can see the fans' attitude towards this film.

Needless to say, fans are extremely positive about this film.

I don't know how many people have watched it twice, countless people have watched it three times, and it is not for nothing that I have watched it four or five times.

This is definitely something that has never been seen in any previous film.

This is also one of the reasons why "Wolf Warrior 2" was able to break through the five billion mark.

"What is your response to Director Zhang's negative comments on "Wolf Warrior 2"?"

Even if Zhang Pu didn't mention it, those media reporters would definitely ask about it.

"Isn't this celebration banquet the best response?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

You can't make a film that everyone likes.

Some people really don't like those negative comments, some people just take advantage of the popularity, and some people probably have other unknown purposes.

Zhang Pu is too lazy to pay attention to these people, and there is no need to pay attention to them.

If you really respond, those people will only beat the snake and stick and continue to "touch the porcelain".

When the reporters listened to Zhang Pu's words, they smiled.

Indeed, the celebration feast is the best response.

If "Wolf Warrior 2" is really as unbearable as they say, how can the box office break 5 billion, and how can this celebration banquet be held?

At the celebration banquet, Zhang Pu was naturally the focus of the media, but media reporters would not revolve around him alone.

The male advocate Chu, the female protagonist Guo Yunxi, the male supporting Ye Fan and others are all the objects of those media pursuits.

"Wolf Warrior 2" exploded, and in the film, even a supporting role has doubled its value. Of course, Zhang Chu and Guo Yunxi are already first-line stars, and their growth is limited.

The original starring actor can be said to be a god directly with this film.

Zhang Chu obviously couldn't do it.

The original starring actor is still the director, he is not. Moreover, Zhang Pu's light is too strong, and it also covers a lot of Zhang Chu's light.

However, Zhang Chu still benefited a lot from this film, and now he is only one step away from the super line.

As long as the next film doesn't hit the streets, it is only a matter of course to enter the super line.

Today's Zhang Chu will gradually shift his focus to the world.

"The day after tomorrow, I made an appointment with the major car brand merchants, are you in attendance?" Jiang Xingwen asked Zhang Pu.

In "Transformers", car product placement is definitely the big head of ad placement. And this advertising placement will not be too criticized.

Even if you give a certain car brand an obvious shot.

This is undoubtedly the integration of advertising placement into the plot.

Among them, the highest asking price is undoubtedly the prototype of the car before the transformation of the male protagonist's car, Bumblebee.

"Go ahead!" Zhang Pu nodded and said.

He is a director, and coming forward can also make those people feel more at ease.
