Does Oriental DreamWorks have a brother?

Apparently not!

I don't think there will be either.

If Deng Kun had entered the Oriental DreamWorks earlier, there might have been a chance.

Now I'm afraid I don't have a chance.

He doesn't have a chance, what about the others?

Huang Ye is limited by his appearance, although his acting skills are good, and his reputation as a "tens of billions of actors" is now big, but it is a little difficult to suppress others.

Even, he matched Shen Ran twice.

This is true of "Thai Embarrassment", and the same is true of "Truman's World".

Why does Jiang Yun favor Huang Ye?

In addition to his acting skills, I am afraid that he also admires him very much.

Huang Ye just starred in Jiang Yun's "Parasite" on the front foot, and the back foot was matched in "Truman's World".

If this matter were to be replaced by someone else, I am afraid that it would inevitably be unbalanced.

After all, Huang Ye was shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor with "Parasite", although he was not crowned emperor in the end, his acting skills were recognized by everyone.

has acting skills and coffee positions, but he is matched by others, I am afraid that there is only Huang Ye.

Jiang Yun is a person who repays the favor.

Therefore, Jiang Xingwen thinks that his next film is very likely to be given to Huang Ye.

There are only a few directors of Oriental DreamWorks.

Jiang Yun favored Huang Ye, Shen Ran almost became Lin Mu's queen male lead, but what about Zhang Pu?

I didn't mention it before, but the next two films will be starring Zhang Chu.

Wen Hao is left, and the filming cycle is too long.

As for other films invested by Oriental DreamWorks, the small-cost films are estimated to be not enough for Deng Kun's salary.

The other big productions involved in the investment are not led by Oriental DreamWorks, and it is difficult to get the role of the male lead.

Deng Kun's position in Oriental DreamWorks is undoubtedly a little embarrassing.

At this time, he regretted that he had not broken the kettle in the first place.

If he enters the Oriental DreamWorks in advance, I am afraid that many of the resources of Shen Ran, Huang Ye and others will fall on him.

It's a pity that he was afraid of breaking the contract in advance and offended Orange Entertainment.

As for the liquidated damages, although he bears a part of it, the majority is from Oriental DreamWorks.

He just wanted to leave a way back for himself, which led to such an embarrassing situation.

There is no regret medicine in this world.

"Zhang Chu takes the action route, Shen Ran takes the comedy route, Huang Ye is a little more literary, takes acting skills, and accepts both protagonists and supporting roles, but the appearance conditions have great restrictions on him. Deng Kun's agent said, "They have a very clear positioning for themselves. Oriental DreamWorks won't have a big brother. You don't have to think about anything. However, even so, the resources are not necessarily less than those of other companies. ”

"You mean I also need to give myself a position?" Deng Kun frowned and said.

He is good enough, has acting skills, can act in comedy, and can also act in action, even if it is a literary film, he can also be competent.

It seems to be very comprehensive, but this is not his advantage when it comes to Oriental DreamWorks.

"One step after another, one step after another. Zhang Chu and the others have already risen, do you still have a choice now? You can only develop in an all-round way. If you are biased towards one aspect, you will not have an advantage. Deng Kun's agent said, "In addition, you need to have a good relationship with several directors of the company, especially Wen Hao." ”

Why Wen Hao?

Because he entered Oriental DreamWorks at the latest, his relationship with other actors is not as deep as that of other directors.

Deng Kun nodded.

It is very important for the actor to have a good relationship with the director.

didn't win the role of Tang Bohu this time, to a large extent, Lin Mu insisted on using Shen Ran.

The big reason why Zhang Pu supports Lin Mu is not that he is not as good as Shen Ran, but that Zhang Pu is a director, and he is more inclined to the director's choice in casting.

"Find a time for Director Zhang to talk to him when he has free time. Deng Kun's agent said, "Although he sent Director Jiang a new film to you, if you can't satisfy Director Jiang, this role may not be yours." ”

"Talk to Director Zhang?" Deng Kun was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.

Isn't the director Jiang Yun? He has the final say in the choice of roles, shouldn't he talk to him?

"Director Zhang is a screenwriter, you can understand what kind of character it is, it is best to get the script, and then prepare in advance. Deng Kun's agent said, "Director Jiang first won the Cannes Palme d'Or for a second consecutive year, and then won the Oscar for Best Director, and now he has been shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Director for two consecutive years, even if it is very likely that he will return empty-handed this time, but his film will definitely attract global attention." There is a good chance that his new film will target the global market. ”

Deng Kun nodded.

In fact, among the company's artists, there are only two people who have the best chance to go international. Deng Kun's agent said, "One is Zhang Chu." He takes the action route, and this kind of actor is the easiest to go international. The other one is you. Why did Jumanji star you?"

When Deng Kun heard this, the pressure on his face eased a lot.

He may be the first male artist in the company to go international.

Zhang Pu was not as busy as he imagined during this time.

"Wolf Warrior" is being prepared in an orderly manner, and there are not many things that require him to do it himself in the early stage.

"East Becomes West" is released abroad, and he doesn't need to run.

This film, the foreign box office, he is really not optimistic. Especially in Europe and the United States, where there are cultural differences, they may not be able to empathize with the jokes in the film.

It is estimated that it is far from the foreign box office of "Storm and Storm".

The box office of "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia is amazing, and the box office in Europe and the United States and other countries and regions is also extremely good.

The North American box office even won 50 million US dollars, which was much better than expected.

At least much higher than Feng Jiashan's "Xingtian".

In the North American film market, "Xingtian" was released behind "Storm and Clouds", but it was painted in front of it, and the cumulative box office was only 20 million US dollars.

There is no doubt that this gave Feng Jiashan and Orange Entertainment a resounding slap in the face.

This incident caused a lot of repercussions in the circle, but the topic was not very hot.

Oriental DreamWorks has no intention of continuing to hype it up.

The reason why it has a big response in the circle is that many people don't understand why "Xingtian", which pleases Western audiences, has less than half of the box office of "Storm and Clouds" in North America.

And Zhang Pu's explanation of "holding people's stinky feet and being smoked" has been recognized by many people.

Hollywood movies are now in an advantageous position after all.

His films add Chinese elements to please Chinese audiences.

The Chinese audience naturally bought it.

But when Chinese movies add Western elements, it is not flattering, but flattering.

How could Western audiences buy it?

To use an inappropriate metaphor, the emperor will show favor to the commoners, and the commoners will be grateful to Dade.

But what if the commoners went to the emperor?

I'm afraid the outcome is unpredictable.

Even if he is not beheaded by the emperor, it is estimated that he will make the emperor unhappy!

Of course, more people think that Zhang Pu's explanation is purely to ridicule Feng Jiashan and Orange Entertainment.

And this also alerted the domestic film and television industry.

Western movie fans seem to prefer oriental-style Chinese-language films.

Such as the previous "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", such as the current "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World".

Why the former is more amazing at the box office obviously has a lot to do with the plot.

When Deng Kun found Zhang Pu, Zhang Pu was discussing the script with Jiang Yun.

"It came at the right time. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "You can take this script and read it first." After I discussed the script with the teacher, I might make some changes to the details, but it will definitely not change in general. ”

When Deng Kun heard this, he was stunned, and then looked at Jiang Yun.

"Let's figure out the characters first. Jiang Yun said, "Oh, that's right. This film will be shot abroad, how is your English?"

"English, no problem. Deng Kun hurriedly said.

"He still speaks very good English. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "The broken English in "Run, Brother" is just for the effect of the show. ”

Deng Kun is not a top student like Zhang Pu, but he has also deliberately learned English.

He speaks fluent English and has no problem communicating with foreigners at all.

"Jumanji" let him star, not Zhang Chu, not without this consideration.

Of course, Zhang Chu has also started to learn English now, preparing for going international in the future.

"That's good. Jiang Yun said.

Nine times out of ten, Jiang Yun's new film will be shot in the United States. This film is based on a Hollywood film.

"The Shawshank Redemption"?" Deng Kun took the script, looked at the title, and was a little surprised.

Judging from the title, it seems to be a bit literary.

This movie mainly tells the story of Andy, a banker who is wrongfully accused of killing his wife and his lover, imprisoned, a thief is imprisoned for theft, and knows the truth about the death of Andy's wife and her lover, and the warden is unwilling to help him overturn the case.

After Andy learns the truth, he decides to gain freedom through his own redemption and finally manages to escape from prison.

The original version of this film is definitely a classic.

A long road to freedom, a cleansing of the soul, an immortal inspirational classic.

Zhang Pu put a lot of effort into adapting this film.

The background of this film is obviously not suitable for China.

At first, Zhang Pu was going to put the background in Xiangjiang, and then he put the background in the United States.

This is undoubtedly due to the consideration of the North American market.

In addition to Chinese characters, it also involves blacks and whites.

Of course, the main character, Andy, is a Chinese, and the male number two Ellis is still played by a black person, and the warden Sam is naturally a white actor.

This is why Zhang Pu and Jiang Yun both asked Zhang Pu about Deng Kun's English.

There will definitely be a Chinese and English version of the film, but if there is a language barrier during filming, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to enter the film.

Jiang Yun is undoubtedly extremely satisfied with this script.

Relatively speaking, the adaptation of this drama is much more difficult than the last adaptation of "Parasite" and "Truman's World".

However, Zhang Pu finally came up with a satisfactory script, and then discussed it with Jiang Yun and continued to improve.

He believes the film will be as successful as "Parasite" and "Truman's World."

And this kind of adaptation of foreign films into Chinese-language films and their success, undoubtedly gives Zhang Pu a sense of achievement.

Deng Kun looked at the script, and he knew very well that this film was very important to him.

It turns out that "Shawshank" is not the name of the protagonist, but the name of a prison.

This is a prison film.

However, it seems to be a little more human and warm than a movie with the same theme.
