Chapter 125 Hollywood Blockbuster?

"Bang!"

"Whoa!"

In the five-star hotel in Beijing, Zhang Li, Da Lao Wang, Li Xiaoping, and Yang Qing each carried a hammer and chiseled indiscriminately, and the big ice cube with the words "350 million" became dilapidated in a blink of an eye.

That's right, it's a celebration feast!

is still the celebration banquet of "Death is Coming 2", and the final box office of "Death is Coming 2" still did not exceed 350 million, but this achievement is enough to make people proud.

Now any casual movie can hold a celebration banquet, and it is already very restrained for "Death 2" to hold a celebration banquet now. When the box office exceeded 100 million, Da Lao Wang proposed to hold a celebration banquet, but Zhang Li refused, he knew that the current movie was no longer the previous movie era when it was difficult to exceed 100 million box office. It is better to hold a celebration banquet now, than to wait until the final results are held at the box office.

Da Lao Wang is the producer of "Death is Coming 2", Li Xiaoping is the producer, Zhang Li is the producer and producer, and Yang Qing is the director.

As soon as the four of them walked off the stage, a crowd of people gathered around.

"Director Zhang!"

"Mr. Wang!"

"Sister Xiaoping!"

"Director!"

"It's amazing, it's another blockbuster movie! ”

"Yes, Director Zhang is really a discerning hero. ”

In the face of everyone's praise and congratulations, Zhang Li was all under his control, and it would be too much if he was still modest at this time.

This time, "Death is Coming 2" is a joint investment by Zhang Li's studio and Guangxian, Zhang Li accounts for 80% of the investment, and Guangxian accounts for the remaining 20% of the investment.

In fact, at the beginning, Guang Mei wanted more investment, but when he saw that the director was Yang Qing, the management was a little distrustful. This is still the big boss Wang must invest in movies, otherwise this investment may only be about 15%.

However, this time the investment, Zhang Li's studio really made a lot of money, and "Death is Coming 2" was a big hit. It's not just as simple as making a profit, but it's really a series.

Although there was "Death Comes 1" before, many sequels to movies were rotten. Now the success of "Death is Coming 2" has made the "Death Coming" series truly a blockbuster movie series. This movie series can be a series of movies like "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Kung Fu Panda", and "007", as long as it is not too bad, then each movie has enough box office.

And even if it's rotten, you can take it out and restart it after a while.

That's the good thing about series, otherwise why would Hollywood be a series in recent years. Isn't it because the original movie is risky, the series can make money more steadily, and the risk is so small, why not make it?

""Death is Coming 2" is over, "Embroidered Spring Knife" is being screened, should "Green Snake" be brought up?"

"Don't worry, I've been paying attention to "Green Snake" here!"

“… There's no need to be in such a hurry, I just want to remind you..."

"I'm in a hurry..."

In a dark corner of the hall, a man wearing black-framed glasses looked at Zhang Li, who was communicating with Yang Qing, and then said to the man next to him: "The speed of this Zhang Li is really too fast, how long has it been to this extent! ”

The latter raised his acting skills, touched his white hair, sighed, and said: "The future is terrifying! Now he has a good relationship with Guang Xian and is an ally with Bona, there is no way!"

"Can't there be any other way? Or cooperation, you can't find connections?"

“...... It's not that you don't know where my relationship is, it's not in WW or HK, and if you want to say that the relationship in the mainland is not as powerful as Mr. Wang. Isn't it boring to find WW and HK over there, I don't think it's better to get up hope. The black-framed glasses and white-haired man was Chen Guofu, and he glanced at Mr. Xiao Wang speechlessly.

“...... I'm worried, I heard that he signed five directors. If you want to say that every director can achieve such success, what will become of it in a few years, and what will happen when the flower art is changed?" Xiao Wang always looked at the high-spirited Zhang Li, and inexplicably regretted it, why was it so little bit worse at the beginning.

"Mr. Wang, you're too worried. ”

These two people are Xiao Wang in the floral king and Chen Guofu, the film director of the floral film, these two people are here to participate in the celebration banquet of "Death is Coming 2".

Xiao Wang always hopes to win over Zhang Li, because of Zhang Li, the bright stock appreciates quickly. This made the big and small kings have a sense of crisis, so let Xiao Wang and Chen Guofu take a look at the situation.

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

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

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

After the big sale of "Death is Coming 2" and the release of "Embroidered Spring Knife", Zhang Li's status was different from before.

He used to be a director, although he had his own studio and glamorous media behind him. But at the end of the day, he's still the only one, but that's different now.

"The Grim Reaper 2" digs in

Yang Qing, "Embroidered Spring Knife" excavated Lu Yang. This is not counting the other people who have made movies, and when all the movies are big hits, Zhang Li may have a higher status.

This tells insiders that he is not just a director, he can also be a producer and producer, and can invest in films.

This is a little different from the previous status, in the past, after all, he was still a director, unless he got a higher level, or he really talked to some film industry bosses and was a little low. But now that he has proven himself, he can pull up a crew and invest in movies, and it is not a simple movie, but a blockbuster movie, which is different.

Xiao Wang and Chen Guofu, who were in the distance, had been watching Zhang Li, and after talking to Yang Qing and a few directors who wanted to attract investment, Chen Guofu walked over with a cup, "Director Zhang, look up for a long time!"

Looking at the big guy in front of him who only hears his name but doesn't see him, it's really fate.

Zhang Li said: "Where is Director Chen, I should say Jiu Yang, I can't put down the "Double Pupils" you filmed back then!"

Chen Guofu said with a smile: "Director Zhang is polite, I have always heard about you before, and now I finally met you, they have long told me that we have produced a genius director in the Chinese film industry, and when I saw it today, I really have an extraordinary bearing!"

"Compared with Director Chen, it's still far behind, you are now working as a film director in Huayi, which can be said to be enviable, all kinds of investment in big movies. ”

"Oh, is that so? If Director Zhang is interested, we can work together to make a movie, there is no problem with investment, even if you want to make a movie of more than 100 million, I'm talking about dollars. And no matter which actor you want to work with, we can find floral arrangements, I wonder if Director Zhang is interested?"

"I'm really sorry, I'm still used to controlling the movie myself, and if I really cooperate, it will only make both parties unhappy. ”

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

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

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

From a distance, Chen Guofu and Zhang Li were chatting and laughing. People who don't know saw it and thought that the two had been friends for many years and were talking about something interesting.

But only Xiao Wang always knows, although the two of them look at the surface, they are very happy. But in fact, it's all fake, Chen Guofu went up to test Zhang Li to see if he could dig Zhang Li or cooperate.

Anyway, it's just a test, and you won't suffer. In addition to relying on Feng Dacang's development, which of the others did not dig the foot of the wall to get up.

It's not just Mr. Wang and Chen Guofu who are here tonight. The rest of the companies such as Bona, Pony, Anle, Wanda and other companies have sent people over.

In fact, "Death is Coming 2" is not enough for these people to flock to it. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that I just wanted to recruit Zhang Li's floral art, and now there is Feng Dacang in the floral art, even if Zhang Li passes, will there be a place? It's just that I saw Zhang Li's rapid development in Guangxian, so I just wanted Guangxian to cut off his arm.

Although Xiaoma is now relying on Ning Hao and others, although it cannot be compared with large companies such as floral art, it is also a force to be reckoned with.

Bona is now forming an alliance with the glamorous Zhang Li, and relying on the Hong Kong circle on the other hand, which is also prosperous.

The rest of the companies, except for the really small ones, are not bad.

There are two reasons for coming to this celebration banquet this time, the first is that there is nothing to do, anyway, it is not yet the time to really fight at the box office. The second is to see if there is a chance to cooperate, this time "The Avengers" is menacing, and many people are not optimistic about this schedule. After all, it is a time when foreign blockbusters are rampant, and generally the hole cards will not be released at this time.

However, these people didn't expect that "Death is Coming 2" would be so violent, it was a hard seafood, and it would be such a box office under such a strong attack, everyone came to see if they could cooperate or let their own actors cooperate.

"Director Chen, how did you come up with the idea of filming the movie "Double Pupils", the setting of this movie is simply amazing!"

If you say that some young audiences don't know Haul in "Double Pupils", then if you talk about "Detective Chinatown 2", then you will understand, in "Detective Chinatown 2": Fire and Earth, Taoist Five Prisons, Six Reincarnations, Human Xiao, Guanluo Yin, Yellow Clothes, Shaoyang Taiyin...

On these elements, the setting of "Detective Chinatown 2" has borrowed from "Double Pupils", "Double Pupils" cleverly uses the mysterious ancient culture of the flower grower to weave a horrific murder storyline, and the movie uses "low-temperature horror" as a claim, and the whole film is a deep tone of cold air.

The statement about going to hell in the religion of the flower family is packaged in the structure of a Hollywood thriller, and the effect is okay, especially the part where Leung Jiahui finds the woman with evil eyes in the secret room at the end, which is in a trance, and it has the flavor of "The X-Files".

For example, when the first person was killed, the female secretary came closer to take a look, the camera turned to close-up the head of the corpse, and then turned back, it was already the forensic doctor's gloved hand reaching over to touch the head, so that the whole process from discovery to police to police arrival was very concise.

"Double Pupils" can be said to be one of the few movies that WW can watch after the new millennium.

"At that time, I especially liked to study Taoist theory, and I thought it could be mixed with horror movies, not to scare people through female ghosts or visuals, but to ..... in another way."

"Double Pupils" is Chen Guofu's proud work, and it can even be said that this movie can rank in the top three in Chen Guofu's film career.

"I think it can be combined with Taoist yin and yang, the theory of the five elements and suspense, and detective themes to make the movie less realistic, if it's really just a thriller or I'm afraid it's difficult to have a high box office in the flower planter...."

"Isn't the Grim Reaper series a thriller? And you know, if you put it all together, it's easy to become a four-like. ”

""The Grim Reaper is Coming" was an accident, and I didn't expect it to be so popular at first. However, the "Death is Coming" series is also a genre film, and it does not show too much horror. ”

The more the two chatted on this topic, the more speculative they became, and Chen Guofu said that he was proud of his work, especially in the face of the praise of a genius director like Zhang Li. Zhang Li wanted to get the thoughts and ideas from Chen Guofu when he was filming "Double Pupils", and planned to join it when filming "Detective Chinatown 2" in the future to make it more distinctive. As for whether you say it will be said, it's a big deal to buy the copyright of "Double Pupils" when the time comes.

As for Chen Sicheng, hehe, that kind of scumbag, what does he do.

The more the two talked, the more speculative they became, but Xiao Wang, who was doing it on the side, was always impatient, although he was the owner of a film company. But this aspect is still far from the king, watching the two of them talk about this kind of topic, they are really not interested, "Two directors, please pause!"

Zhang Li and Chen Guofu stopped and looked at Mr. Xiao Wang at the same time

"Director Zhang, I want to cooperate with you to make a movie this time, I don't know if you are interested?"

"Excuse me, Mr. Wang. I have already told Director Chen just now, I have no idea of cooperation for the time being, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will not be in contact at that time. ”

"Listen to me first, we're working with a Hollywood studio this time, and we're going to shoot blockbusters!"

"Blockbuster?"

"That's right, it's a blockbuster!" When he said this, Xiao Wang's eyes were full of reflections.

"This time we are going to invest more than 100 million dollars, and we will have a very big cooperation. If you cooperate with us, we can make you a director. At that time, you will become the first mainland director to shoot more than 100 million US dollars. If it is a big hit at the box office, if the movie is a big hit, you will become a director of the National University, and you will not be worse than Wu Baige and Li Press!"

To be honest, Xiao Wang always spoke very tempting at this time. This is completely an Amway leader, if it is a young director, maybe he will leave the glamorous and join the flower art immediately, and work for the flower art.

Still, huh.

"Is it the kind to "The King of Kung Fu"?"

"That's right, it's that kind of movie, even bigger than 'The King of Kung Fu'. When the time comes, you can join no matter which actor you want, Li Lianjie, Big Brother Cheng, Chow Yunfa, Zhou Xingxing, Hong Jinbao, Zhang Ziyi, Gong Huang, Xiao Lizi, Denzelwald/Shengton, Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Nicolas Cage are every question. When Xiao Wang always talked about these people, he stared at Zhang Li with his eyes.

In his opinion, Zhang Li is already moved, and saying these stars can shake his heart even more. As for Zhang Li's agreement at that time, what should I do if I really want these stars? Hehe, I'll talk about it when the time comes.

"Damn, dare you say it. "On the surface, he was silent, but he was shocked in his heart.

The characters mentioned above are almost the top actors in a country. Bull break, that is an international superstar, not to mention that you are an investment of 100 million US dollars, 200 million maybe people will not know anything.

When he reaches that status, will people care about this? If Xiao Lizi is willing, countless movies will invite him. As he said, if he really agrees, will these stars really agree to the invitation? A director who is not well-known in the world, which international superstar will agree?

And if it's a collaboration with Hollywood, then the editing rights are very important. At the time of "The Great Wall", Lao Mouzi did not have the right to edit. He doesn't think that he is more convincing to foreigners than Lao Mouzi, even if she comes up with a classic movie and doesn't have the editing right, it won't be like shit when the film comes out.

And I'm embarrassed to say "The King of Kung Fu", although this movie made money at the beginning, it was really like shit. Except for Li Lianjie and Big Brother Cheng's co-starring, there is a topic that thinks that this content is completely unwatchable.

And Huayi itself still has a director of Feng Cannon's level, although Zhang Li is not afraid of Feng Cannon. But if you join the floral company, it will be Feng Cannon's territory, and no matter how you make a movie, I am afraid that you will be under Feng Cannon.

And if there really is such a good movie, will Huayi not give Feng Dacang? Give it to Zhang Li, I'm afraid it's uneasy and kind, poisonous cake!

Star story: The matter of Xiaolongnu back then can be said to be full of turmoil in the city, and Wu Qili just wanted to rely on Xiaolongnu to take the position. But it's a pity that Jackie Chan felt too guilty about Lin Fengjiao at the beginning, and he also gave birth to a son for him, so it was impossible to marry Wu Qili. This matter was originally a matter for men and women, and it was normal in the entertainment industry. What is abnormal is that Wu Qili wants to give birth to a child, and this child is still Jackie Chan, which is a big problem. However, Jackie Chan had no intention of marrying Wu Qili at all, he thought it was just to lose some money, who knew that Wu Qili would dare to gamble so much. However, Lin Fengjiao is also very powerful, she is still so calm in the face of this kind of thing, very tolerant and did not cry and accuse Jackie Chan, so Wu Qili is a complete loser. Wu Qili is not a good bird, Sister Mei's two boyfriends can be said to have been snatched away by her, and when he was good with Jackie Chan, he was still dating Ye Chongren.
