In the promotion of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", a reporter interviewed Zhang Weiping about his views on the film market.

"There are a lot of domestic movies that are called "blockbusters", what do you think of them?"

"Now the so-called blockbusters have no hierarchy, and the genre is not obvious. I think there are two biggest problems with the blockbuster film: first, the story is the same, plagiarizing each other, which makes the audience lose their appetite when they watch it; second, the visual is not exquisite, many people have not mastered it well, and the production is shoddy, if you don't pay attention to the visual, it is easy to make all the movies nondescript, you have to play art, who in the whole world can play with the Gallic rooster? But what happened to the Gallic rooster? Now it's not that Hollywood has been destroyed, you see that the people queuing up to buy movie tickets at the door of the Gallic Rooster Cinema are all Hollywood blockbusters. To this day, the quality of the flower family movie must be improved, the quality of the screenwriter team must be improved, the story must be refined, the visual can not be shoddy, fast food techniques, and rush to achieve results, as a result, the market has been messed up, and the movie cannot be done quickly and efficiently, it can only be kept improving. ”

"Starting with you, everyone is predicting the box office, do you think it makes sense?"

"When I said that "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was 1 billion, many people would think that Zhang Weiping had taken the wrong medicine. In fact, I must have a target, when I said that "Hero" was 100 million, the distribution boss of China Film Group said that how could it be 100 million for the flower family's movie, 10 million is good. You see that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won so many Oscars, and in the end, 14 million in China. Ten years ago, I predicted that the box office of "Hero" would be 100 million, and the result was 250 million. I'm definitely conservative about 1 billion this time, and let's see the results in the end. ”

"Are you very confident in the box office of "Jingwu Heroes"?"

"The movie "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is an epic masterpiece film that has been in preparation for 4 years, and it also invites Hollywood's Ballet Master to join. This film will set a new film record, as long as the national teacher is qualified to break the record. Just like "Hero" back then, it opened mainland commercial films that year, and this "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is the pinnacle. ”

"Nowadays, the box office has a lot to do with the theater schedule, are you sure??"

The so-called theater scheduling depends on whether your movie is strong. I'm very sure that I'll be able to make the theaters overcrowded this time! Do I still have to ask the theaters to schedule films? If the theaters have a grudge against money, they can not schedule "The Thirteen Hairpins"! Moreover, I want to make some movie theaters that have no credibility and integrity, and movie theaters that don't pay the box office on time and secretly leak and conceal the news have no right to show my film. ”

"You're not going to give copies to these theaters?"

"Yes, I'm just letting them know, what's the use of just having a theater, there's no movie to show, there's just a chair in the theater!"

"This year, many movies have encountered "stealing the box office", how do you guard against it?"

"If I find a movie theater like this, let it park right away! Take back the copy right away! No matter who it is!"

"Can Zhang Dong predict the box office of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"?"

"The domestic box office is at least 1 billion, and the overseas box office is 200 million. Zhang Weiping said without thinking about it.

"Zhang Dong, will there be pressure on you to say this number in public?"

Zhang Weiping said very easily, "No pressure, because this must be prepared, There is a lot of room in the domestic film market, and science fiction movies can win more than 1 billion." It's not too much for this epic masterpiece to win 1 billion, the film hasn't started filming yet, and there have already been filmmakers from North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and other regions to come to us to negotiate distribution, so I'm very optimistic about the box office of the film. ”

Well, this is Zhang Weiping's interview, these words are what he really said, sometimes he talks more than Feng Cannon.

Basically, Zhang Weiping, the movie of the national teacher, will go out to promote it in person, which is not to say that it is not bad. It's just that Zhang Weiping is also the boss of the new slippery surface, and the time when the national teacher was there. It can be said that it is the same level of big and small kings of flowers, Bernard's Yudong, and the glamorous old king. Even if you meet the third master sometimes, it is also a confident existence, after all, there is a national teacher behind it!

There are many similar to these domineering words Zhang Weiping, the two have cooperated for so many years, the national teacher makes films, Zhang Weiping is equivalent to a big housekeeper, publicizing himself personally, and daring to call the theater for distribution.

And because Bernard Yudong did not settle the box office of "Three Guns" and "Hawthorn Tree", he decided not to provide copies of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" to Bernard's cinemas.

However, Bona Yudong is not a vegetarian, you Zhang Weiping is just relying on the support of the national teacher, and you really think you are a dish. Moreover, Bona has Xu Kejia, Li Lianjie and Zhou Gongzi and Chen Kun and others this year's "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", and even "Source Code" that is now released, which means that you Zhang Weiping counts the ball.

Zhang Weiping fired at Zhang Li and Bona successively in order to promote "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", and it was really difficult for him.

The legend of "The Legend of the White Snake" has a long history and is one of the four major folk love legends of the flower family, and the other three are "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "The Legend of Meng Jiangnu" and "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl".

"The Legend of the White Snake" was not what everyone knows now when it first started, anyway, in the version that Zhang Li knew, there was a version that Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were the villains, and Fahai was the good guy. And Xiaoqing was also a male at the beginning, robbing Bai Suzhen as a wife and becoming a woman, look, this is true love, Xu Xian is weak or something.

Xu Laowei's "Green Snake" is adapted from Li Bihua's novel "Green Snake", but there is no "Green Snake" movie and novel in this world, so Zhang Li can modify it without scruples.

He has a deep impression of the characters in "Green Snake", that is, Fahai and the Green Snake White Snake.

It's a pity that Manyu disappeared, and Zu Xian left the country. But Zhao Wenzhuo just forget it, this is more and more problematic, and he is even more deeply involved in the Ponzi scheme and the scam of Bailongye, and there are a lot of other black materials.

The good start scene in the early years is completely wasted, and I'm afraid that something will go wrong when I get involved with him.

(No Hei Zhao asked Zhuo, these can be found on the Internet, I have a book of gossip in the entertainment industry, more than 500 pages.) While many are questionable, many of them are well-founded. ）

Once when I met a reporter outside for an interview, a reporter asked directly: "Hello Director Zhang, may I ask if "The Legend of the White Snake" in September has just been released, are you dissatisfied with the fact that this movie is a bad movie when you are filming "The Legend of the White Snake" now?"

When he heard this question, Zhang Li remembered. "The Legend of the White Snake", a big bad movie, was only released a few months ago, and now filming "Green Snake" is no wonder others associate it.

"No, I've wanted to make the movie "Green Snake" for a long time, but now I have the opportunity. ”

"Do you have a favorite actor for the starring role? Are you going to find Zhao Yaqi and Ye Tong to play Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian?"

"Although Bai Suzhen and Ye Tong of Zhao Yaqi and Ye Tong are classics, they are still a little old. This time Xu Xian, I have invited Pan Yueming to play, he has also played Xu Xian, and it is also very in line with the image of the movie. As for Bai Suzhen's actor, it has not yet been determined. ”

"I don't know if Director Zhang invited Li Lianjie? Li Lianjie's image is very in line with Fahai, and he has also starred in "The Legend of the White Snake", if you continue to appear in your movie, there will definitely be many fans watching it. ”

Zhang Li's heart was MMP when he heard this, but he smiled on his face: "Thank you for your proposal, we will seriously consider this!"

Hehe, the movie "The Legend of the White Snake" is a bad movie, it is completely Yangzi to praise his woman Huang Shengyi, of course, there may be other purposes.

can't say that Li Lianjie is bad, but now that he has just starred in "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Green Snake", his first impression gives people the feeling of a bad movie. And Fahai in the "Green Snake" movie is a handsome guy, which is different from the previous image, so Li Lianjie is impossible.

....................

.......................................

"Director, Fahai's role won't really choose Li Lianjie. Xu Han found Zhang Li and wondered.

Zhang Li smiled, "How is it possible." ”

Even if the big boss wants to choose Li Lianjie to drive the box office, he is unwilling, and he doesn't need to use the star lineup to drive the box office now.

Xu Han breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he had already read the script, so he knew what Fahai looked like inside, put down the information in his hand and said: "Then who are you going to choose for Fahai?" There are also Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, these people are the soul characters in the play, but they are not easy to choose." ”

Zhang Li said: "These are not problems, the movie is not in a hurry to start now, and the preparations are talking first." It's really not okay to be auditioned at that time, the flower grower is so big, isn't there an actor yet?"

Xu Han was stunned when he heard this, too, there are a lot of actors in the flower planting family, and I am afraid that I will not find it.

Hehe, but if Xu Han knew. The highest standard in Zhang Li's mind is that an actor of Manyu Zuxian's level doesn't know if he will go crazy, but now there are really not many actors in the entertainment industry who meet the image and are at that level of actors.
