Regarding Zhang Pu's calmness about being shortlisted for the Golden Phoenix Award, Gao Wang was not as surprised as Xu Jiadong.

It's just a little more sour.

In the entertainment industry, there is also a chain of contempt.

Those who act in dramas look down on those who act in movies, those who act in movies look down on those who act in TV series, and those who act in TV series look down on singing......

This is the current situation in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Foreign countries are obviously different, and music superstars are not necessarily worse than film and television superstars.

But it can't be done in China, singing and acting is excellent!

The environment is like this, you can't change it, then you just have to adapt.

Why didn't Gao Wang make a good TV series at the beginning, instead of thinking about making a movie?

Making movies doesn't necessarily make more money than making TV series.

It's nothing more than directing a movie than directing a TV series!

Zhang Pu is making movies, and he is also a wrist among film directors at a young age, so it is natural that he does not pay attention to the Golden Phoenix Award.

Best Screenwriter, he has won a Golden Dragon Award, so he is naturally not interested in being shortlisted for the Golden Phoenix Award.

The best TV series song is no different from the best movie song, but Zhang Pu also won the Golden Dragon Award.

However, not long after, the list of nominees for the Golden Dragon Award was announced, and Zhang Pu didn't seem to be much excited.

"How can you see that you are not excited at all, not excited at all?" Xu Jiadong looked at Zhang Pu and said.

When the shortlist for the Golden Dragon Award came out, he couldn't help but want to cheer, but Zhang Pu just smiled.

"Man, be calm!"

Zhang Pu said lightly, with a smile on his face.

A breezy look.

"Your smile is so fake!" Xu Jiadong said, "It's all your own people here, there's no need to pretend to be light-hearted, you should be excited or excited, you should be excited or excited." Young people should look like young people. Mr. Jiang, am I right?"

"He probably feels a little regretful!" Jiang Yun said with a smile, "Both movies have a good reputation, but none of them were shortlisted for Best Director." Last year, he was not only nominated for Best Director, but also won a Best New Director. ”

"Rhubarb the Loyal Dog" was shortlisted for only one award: Best Picture!

Zhang Pu estimates that this award is just soy sauce, and the probability of winning the award is very low.

"Nobody" was also shortlisted for Best Picture, but unfortunately the demand is not high, if it wins this award, it will be a bit of an upset.

was shortlisted for five best films, and Zhang Pu accounted for two of them alone, but even so, he was not shortlisted for best director, which is indeed a pity.

In addition, the shortlisted awards for "Nobody" are a bit eye-catching.

In addition to Best Picture, there are also Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor (played by Huang Ye), and Best Screenplay.

The shortlisted awards are very large, but Zhang Pu's best director who wants to be shortlisted the most has not been able to do so.

When Zhang Pu heard Jiang Yun's words, he just smiled, but his smile was a little more bitter.

He was still a little excited just now, although he didn't feel any excitement, but he was in a happy mood.

However, after hearing Jiang Yun say this, Zhang Pu's excitement was gone, and his good mood was gone.

This seems to be a bit of a pity!

I feel like I've made two movies, and I'm getting worse than last year.

"Teacher, I should be improving. Zhang Pu said.

Has Zhang Pu made progress?

Naturally, there is progress, otherwise he would not have filmed "A Chinese Ghost Story"!

Even if there is the original version as a reference, if the director's level is not enough, he will not dare to shoot this film rashly.

Although the original version doesn't have any big scenes, there are not many characters, and it's not that complicated.

But the special effects technology is different, and Zhang Pu naturally will not follow the requirements of the original version.

If the real shot is the same as the original, the probability of fluttering is absolutely 100%.

It is estimated that the "three-hair" hat will have to be attached to the head.

Maybe it's still a dime in the end!

This film, with an investment of hundreds of millions, naturally relies on the scenes of blockbusters, and it is indispensable to make more modifications.

However, if you want to compare with Hollywood's special effects blockbusters, there is no need, Zhang Pu's directorial level is estimated to be a little difficult.

Of course, there is another reason: there is not enough money.

Oriental DreamWorks is not short of money, it can make a film with an investment of hundreds of millions, and there is a shortage of funds every minute.

The premise of not lacking is not to make blockbusters.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" seems to have invested 100 million, but if you count the money from the acquisition of the special effects company, the company is estimated to be not so rich.

As for the box office of "Farewell My Concubine", Zhang Pu really doesn't expect it.

Of course, there is definitely no problem with domestic returns, and there are even some earnings.

In this film, the majority of the money is estimated to be abroad.

And the premise is naturally to have a brilliant performance in Cannes.

"It's been a lot of progress. Jiang Yun nodded and agreed with Zhang Pu's words.

Is Zhang Pu a high level of director?

There are many people in the circle who are unknown but have a higher level than him.

So why did Zhang Pu break into such a big name and win the title of "billion director" with a small-budget film?

Luck?

Maybe!

However, in Jiang Yun's view, it is more in the script.

The script is Zhang Pu's biggest advantage.

Zhang Pu's three films, why can they be small and big?

A lot of people are analyzing.

The results of the analysis are not the same, but it is an indisputable fact that major film and television companies pay more attention to scripts.

Perhaps, the rise of Zhang Pu can make screenwriters in the circle more valued!

Zhang Pu was nominated for Best Screenplay again, which is undoubtedly a good proof.

Jiang Yun chatted for a few words, and then went to stare at the post-production of "Farewell My Concubine".

"Huaying, Guangyun, Light and Shadow, Zhongrui, and other lower-grade film and television companies like Jiying are all interested in participating in your new film. ”

After Jiang Yun left, Xu Jiadong spoke.

The news of Zhang Pu's new film naturally spread, and there must be a lot of people who want to participate.

Not to mention Huaying, it released three of Zhang Pu's films and participated in two of them, which can be said to have made a lot of money.

Guangyun Film and Television participated in "The Nameless", although the proportion is not large, it can invest millions and earn tens of millions. Low risk and high return.

And the payoff isn't just about box office sharing.

Guangyun Film and Television is the only top entertainment company that has no works released during the Spring Festival.

However, with "The Nameless", he forced Orange Entertainment, Zhongrui Pictures, and Light and Shadow Entertainment to become the biggest winner of the four top entertainment companies.

Guangyun Film and Television is a listed company, and "Nobody" exploded, although it is not a production company, it invests in distribution, and the stock price skyrockets.

This is the biggest harvest of Guangyun Film and Television.

tasted the sweetness of Guangyun Film and Television, and naturally regarded Zhang Pu as the God of Wealth, how could he not want to participate?

"Don't they know that my new film is very different from the previous three films?" Zhang Pu said, "God and demon films, or magic films, are not very good in the domestic film market." What's more, the investment is not small, and the risk is relatively much higher. ”

"The box office of "Nobody" is about to be 1.2 billion, which almost pushes you to the altar. Xu Jiadong shook his head and said, "You said that "A Chinese Ghost Story" may lose money, who would believe it?"

Zhang Pu smiled bitterly, I guess no one believes it!

Perhaps, Xu Jiadong doesn't believe it.

It is impossible to lose money, it is nothing more than earning more and earning less.

Those companies want to participate in the investment, but I am afraid they may not think that Zhang Pu will release a miracle again.

"Those people don't necessarily need to be optimistic about your film, they just need to be optimistic about you as a person. Xu Jiadong said, "They want to board your ship." ”

"To put it bluntly, they won't care if you lose money on this film at all. Xu Jiadong continued, "You lost money, so aren't you embarrassed to refuse their participation?"

"What does a director who has won three low-budget films in a row win a high box office, even if he occasionally loses one? If a film sells well, won't all of them earn back? Then the investment risk is extremely small. ”

What's more, the production cost of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is estimated to be only 100 million. They all know very well that our company must account for the majority, and it is extremely good to take out half of the proportion. That half of the proportion can't be given to a company, so it's only one or two million at most. ”

"You are underestimating your current box office appeal. With the gimmick of Zhang Pu's first blockbuster alone, the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is worth 300 million. Don't believe it, even if your film hasn't been filmed yet, with a guaranteed release of 300 million, there are definitely many companies rushing to do it. ”

The production cost is 100 million, plus the publicity and distribution fee, and the box office of 300 million is basically no problem.

What is the box office of 300 million?

For many directors, maybe it's too much.

But what about Zhang Pu?

A multi-million investment "Crazy Stone" is more than that.

No one would believe that he invested 100 million in the film, but there was no 300 million box office.

Unless the film is terrible.

Is this possible?

Zhang Pu's three films have very high ratings.

Zhang Pu's production must be a high-quality product.

This is not only recognized by fans, but now also by fans.

In a word, Zhang Pu is now fragrant.

"You say that, and you're not afraid of my pride?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Xu Jiadong: ......

The point is that I'm complimenting you? I'm talking about why those people are so eager to invest in your new film.

What this guy said just now, didn't he just want me to praise him?

"Huaying has been cooperating, you can't dig up other people's people, just turn your face and throw people away, right?" Zhang Pu continued.

Xu Jiadong nodded.

Huaying has a special status, so it can't be offended, and there is no need to offend.

What's more, with Huaying's participation, it can be regarded as a kind of guarantee.

"Give Jiying a copy, the company where the heroine works, how can you be more active in the later stage of publicity or something?"

Is it really just because Xiao Xue is the heroine of "A Chinese Ghost Story"?

No personal considerations?

Xu Jiadong was puzzled, but he didn't ask.

"As for the rest, you can watch. Zhang Pu finally said.

Those companies, it's no problem to pull them all in.

The problem is the size of the proportion, the amount of effort.

"How much of our company?" Xu Jiadong asked.

That's what he wanted to ask the most.

How much it accounts for, it depends on the risk of the film, and Zhang Pu's opinion is naturally the most important.

"It's not very likely that you'll lose money, and I'm not really sure how much you'll make. Zhang Pu thought for a while and said, "Anyway, it's impossible to earn more than "Nobody", well, I'm talking about China." ”

Didn't make as much money as "Nobody"?

Does that mean that the box office is sky-high, even if it is a little more than "Nobody"?

Well, am I too big in heart?

A film with an investment of 100 million, still thinking about breaking 1.2 billion at the box office?

"Domestic?"

Xu Jiadong came back to his senses and looked at Zhang Pu.

He heard the meaning between Zhang Pu's words, and he was very optimistic about the foreign box office of this film.

"The box office estimate of "Nobody" abroad is limited, maybe only a fraction of that of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb". Zhang Pu explained and said, "I estimate that the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia and other countries and regions should be good, at least better than "The Nameless". ”

"'Nobody' hasn't been released abroad yet!" Xu Jiadong said.

Zhang Pu is not optimistic about the foreign box office of this film.

"You'll know when it's released. Zhang Pu didn't explain much.

"The Nameless" is very likely to be unaccustomed to foreign soil, and the local charm of the film is too much.

Not to mention anything else, if this film does not use the local dialect but uses Mandarin, the taste is estimated to change, if it is translated......

Can Sichuan scolding be translated?

Zhang Pu doesn't know, but even if he translates it, I'm afraid he may not be able to understand it.

Then some of the hilarious stalks in "The Nameless" may be greatly reduced after translation.

These have a great impact on the box office.

Why is the box office of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" so high abroad, it is nothing more than that touch, and everyone can understand it.

The genre of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is more popular in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions than films with extremely strong local colors like "The Nameless".

Moreover, Xiangjiang movies were popular in Southeast Asia back then, and this genre had a very high market foundation.

The announcement of the shortlist of the Golden Dragon Award still caused a lot of topics.

Among them, the appearance of "The Nameless" surprised many people.

Many people subconsciously think that this film should appear at the Golden Dragon Awards next year. Do they still want to watch a battle between "The Nameless" and "Emperor Qin" at the Golden Dragon Awards?

Of course, some people mistakenly thought that "Emperor Qin" had no results, and ridiculed it.

Orange Entertainment had to come out to clarify.

"Emperor Qin" will compete for next year's Golden Dragon Award.

On the Internet, there was immediately the voice of "The Nameless" who was afraid of "Qin Huang".

And it's getting louder.

The score of "Qin Huang" is not as good as that of "The Nameless", and the reputation is not as good, but this does not mean that the two films are shortlisted for the same award at the same time, and the winner will be "The Nameless".

""Emperor Qin" doesn't want to rely on this to make a comeback, right?"

Zhang Pu naturally understands the heated discussions on the Internet.

But he was confused.

If there is no one behind this matter, how can it be so hot.

""The Nameless" has broken 1.2 billion, but "Emperor Qin" is still more than 20 million!" Xu Jiadong said, "Perhaps, they want to increase the popularity and rush to the 1.2 billion mark!"

""Black Panther" and "Thieves Don't Go Empty" have been painted, and "The Nameless" and "Qin Huang" have only a few percent of the film schedule, and they want to break the 1.2 billion mark with this point of filming?" Zhang Pu pouted and said.

It is estimated that the two films will not last long before they are drawn.

"Emperor Qin" is very likely to be hopeless with 1.2 billion.

"The shortlist of the Golden Dragon Award was announced, and the single-day box office of "The Nameless" has risen by several million!" Xu Jiadong said, "They rubbed the heat, they couldn't break 1.2 billion, and it was good to have more box office." ”

"Oh!"

Zhang Pu really doesn't know about this situation.

It seems to be a good deal to rub off on the popularity and increase the box office.

As soon as the box office rises, there is a possibility that the release time will be delayed.

What if it breaks 1.2 billion because of this?

Perhaps, they also want to take the opportunity to influence the award of "Nobody". Xu Jiadong continued.

Can public opinion influence the film awards?

Definitely yes!

For example, in the battle of actors, it is difficult for the judges to choose between two actors, and at this time, one of the actors has a scandal, so who will the judges choose?

The answer is simple.

In a situation where it is difficult to distinguish between equals, a sentence may become the difference between victory and defeat.

Zhang Pu frowned, how do you feel that shouting two sentences of "Nobody" on the Internet is afraid of running away, and killing two birds with one stone?

"By the way, the box office of "Nobody" broke 1.2 billion, why should there be a celebration banquet, right?" Xu Jiadong suddenly remembered and said.

"When the box office broke one billion, why didn't you have a celebration banquet?" Zhang Pu pouted.

"Didn't you forget?" Xu Jiadong said, "Didn't you remember this stubble?"

Zhang Pu really didn't think about making any celebration banquets.

"I haven't forgotten!" Zhang Pu obviously didn't admit it, and directly made an excuse, "I just think that "The Nameless" broke one billion behind "Emperor Qin", and there is nothing to celebrate." ”

When the box office of the two films exceeded one billion, although "The Nameless" continued to be the single-day box office champion, there was a gap of tens of millions between it and "Emperor Qin" a few days before its release!

"The Nameless" broke 1.2 billion at the box office, and was shortlisted for a number of Golden Dragon Awards, and held a celebration banquet, which naturally attracted many media reporters.

Of course, the main actors such as Guo Ji and Huang Ye almost all took the time to attend.

"Director Zhang, why did "Nobody" apply for this year's Golden Dragon Award?" the reporter asked, "It was said on the Internet that you were afraid of "Emperor Qin", so you couldn't wait to apply for this year's Golden Dragon Award. From the perspective of time, the time for the post-production of "Nobody" to be completed has basically stepped on the deadline for registration. ”

When asked about this question at the celebration banquet, Zhang Pu was not surprised at all.

"Why did you apply for this year's Golden Dragon Award?" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "At that time, didn't many people say that my film was prepared for too short a time to shoot, and it was a bad film? ”

Dare to take it to participate in the Golden Dragon Awards, wouldn't it be humiliating if it was a bad movie?

Later, I decided to screen it, and the reputation was not bad, so when I was promoting, it was not interesting to talk about it. Zhang Pu continued, "Of course, I also have the idea of avoiding next year's Golden Dragon Award. However, I am not afraid of "Emperor Qin", but I am afraid of my teacher's movie "Farewell My Concubine"!"

Teacher Zhang Pu Jiang Yun, many people know this.

Jiang Yun made a comeback, but the filming of "Farewell My Concubine" did not attract much media attention.

Many reporters present probably forgot that the screenwriter of this film is Zhang Pu.

And when Zhang Pu said this at this time, they remembered such a film.

Afraid of facing off with "Farewell My Concubine" at the Golden Dragon Awards?

Is this a lack of confidence in yourself, or is it too confident in her teacher's film?

"Director Zhang, do you mean that "Emperor Qin" and "Farewell My Concubine" met at the Golden Dragon Awards, and "Emperor Qin" will definitely lose?"

A reporter hurriedly asked.

"Even if they are all shortlisted, they may not meet!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

The possibility of "Qin Huang" being shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award is not small.

Zhang Pu hasn't seen this film, but a nomination for best visual effects is estimated to be unsuccessful.

And judging by some other confidence, perhaps the best cinematography could also be shortlisted.

As for the rest, it is unknown.

However, he doesn't think that "Emperor Qin" can be compared with "Farewell My Concubine".
