Chapter 389:-for-tat
Zhou Jin was able to get that script, and it was fate.
The screenwriter's name is Surente, who graduated from the Chinese opera directing department, originally worked as a director's assistant in "Thai Embarrassment", and later joined the crew of "Can I Speak" as an executive director, and has always dreamed of becoming a new creator.
Unexpectedly, it was Zhou Jin who gave her this opportunity.
"Chrono...... Cohabitation?"
Early in the morning, Liu Sisi wore a pale yellow dress and fluffy hair, lying on the sofa, feeling that this script was like a dream.
Although she was still very moved after reading it.
"This script is just an idea, it's still early before it takes shape," Zhou Jin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, moving his body and preparing to run.
He bought a treadmill and came back, thinking that he could work out at home and be a sunny and happy fat house, but it didn't take long for the treadmill to become a drying rack and take up space.
But he was distressed when he threw it away, and he was always laughed at by Liu Sisi, so Zhou Jin could only cry and go up and run away.
"Surente's thinking is still too feminine," Zhou Jin adjusted his speed and began to jog like an old man, "I didn't use such a golden finger at all, and I had to make a dilemma, give up my career and choose love, I can't do it all." ”
"Living Together in Time and Space" is a romance film dressed in soft sci-fi skin, the time and space in 2014 and the time and space in 1994 collided together, so the hero and heroine were able to meet and have a cohabitation across time and space.
But these two held a golden finger like crossing time and space, and the only thing they thought of was to buy lottery tickets, and they simply chose to give up after failing - which made Zhou Jin a big hand in time travel simply disdainful.
So Sulente was sent by him to watch the Internet, and learn how the gods of online literature play time travel and rebirth.
Surente is also very efficient, and soon found that in the online articles reborn to the 90s, there is a big guy who frequently appears - Lao Ma.
Either robbed the old horse's business, and then stepped back on the X, or pulled the old horse to hug his thigh and became the man behind the big guy.
Only then did she realize that the biggest golden finger for the superspace was actually the direction of the future.
This also corresponds to the old saying, although a person's destiny depends on struggle, but more importantly, whether he can step on the course of history.
And the old horse is undoubtedly the best of them - it is rare for ordinary people to step on it once, and he has stepped on it many times in a row.
As soon as the mind is opened, the rest of the matter falls into place.
The script was quickly improved, "I Can Say" also passed the review smoothly, and the publicity plan was also launched in an orderly manner.
At the same time, the income of "Embroidered Spring Knife" has also arrived, which is also the confidence of Zhou Jin to dare to open a new project.
I have to say that a gloomy movie like "Embroidered Spring Knife" is indeed not popular with the audience, even with the joint bonus of Zhou Jin and Liu Sisi, the box office is only 120 million.
After the account split, Assorted Sugar Pictures can almost recover more than 10 million, just enough to start "Living Together in Time and Space".
In December, the curtain of the 2014 Chinese New Year began to rise.
Unlike 2013, there are almost no blockbusters in this year's Lunar New Year file, the total number of films has fallen below 20, and the cost of a single film is the lowest in only three years.
The most direct impact of no money is that there is no one, and the media is even ridiculing that only Yao Chen is left as a first-line actress, and Feng Xiaogang is the only director.
Following "1942", Feng Xiaogang brought "Private Custom", the combination of Ge You + Wang Shuo + Feng Xiaogang is enough to make the audience pay for tickets.
But out of the theater, the movie was sprayed by a bunch of directors and film critics, and finally swiped down more than 700 million at the box office.
Although it is the best New Year's file, it is still a little less interesting than last year's "Thai Embarrassment" and "Journey to the West".
Some attentive viewers found that "I Can Say" and "Fuji Detective", which have been promoting and building momentum, have not been released for a long time.
"When will "Can I Say" be released, it seems to be very interesting to watch the trailer, I've had enough of bears, and now I want to kill those two bears. ”
"Hahaha, I feel sorry for the master for a second, but how can "I Say" get the Spring Festival file, I heard that it is going to be delayed. ”
"Fuji Detective" is also very good, Jet Li and Wen Zhang's father and son, and Sister Yang Mi are also looking forward to it. ”
"This is also going to the Spring Festival, I hope it won't hit the schedule......"
In terms of lineup alone, "Fuji Detective" is almost better than "I Can Say", the former has Jet Li, Wen Zhang, Yang Mi, Chen Yanxi, and even the cameos are big stars like Tong Dawei and Huang Sect Master.
And the latter only has Zhou Jin with an old and a young - Li Mingqi and Wang Junkai.
In the summer of this year, TFboys officially debuted as a group, attracting countless fans for a while, and "Can I Say" won Wang Junkai's on-screen blood, which is not a big gimmick.
But it still can't be compared with the all-star lineup of "Fuji Detective".
However, Zhou Jin is not scared, the movie ultimately depends on the quality, last year's "Fuchun Mountain Residence" has fully proved that any movie that pulls a star as a gimmick is bound to be a bad movie.
The reason is also very simple, the risk of a movie is too great, and no one knows what it will look like when it is filmed in black and white, let alone whether it can pass the review and how much the box office will be.
In order to reduce the risk, the only controllable thing is to invite celebrities, invite big stars.
Time passes day by day, the Spring Festival file is getting closer and closer, and the release date of the two movies has been set at the same time: January 31.
I really bumped into it.
Wen Zhang said that he was not panicking, although he knew very well what the quality of "Fuji Detective" was, but it was a combination of martial arts, detectives, nonsensical and other elements, and there were so many stars to help, how could he pull (pian) to a ticket to the theater.
As for "Can I Say", what is it?
"So even if you hit the schedule, you are very confident in the box office, can "I Say" not cause pressure on you?" asked a reporter at a roadshow event.
"It can't be said that the box office doesn't fully measure a movie," Wen Zhang said very humbly, "but some movies have to be watched in the cinema, such as "Fuji Detective", and we have to be worthy of the ticket money spent by the audience." ”
The reporters below were in an uproar with their spears in their hands, and they became excited in an instant.
Wen Zhang's words clearly mean that "I Can Say" is not worth going to the cinema.
This kind of topic has always been a favorite of various media outlets.
A young reporter stood up and said: "Some industry insiders broke the news before, saying that you fell in love with Yao Di during Ma Liyi's pregnancy, is it true?"
"Don't ask about this kind of gossip, and besides, today is the event of "Fuji Detective", and I don't want to answer private matters. ”
"Then what are your expectations for the final box office of "Fuji Detective"?"
"Do you believe me when I say a billion?"
This brought some anger, but the media has always seen the excitement as a big deal, so they really opened their eyes and believed it.
A few days later, Wen Zhang's bold words were frantically swiped through various media, and at the same time, the popularity of "Fuji Detective" was also rising.
"Fuji Detective" attacked the Spring Festival file, and Liu Yan's big breasts were charming. ”
"I Can Say" collided with "Fuji Detective", Wen Zhang claimed to be very confident. ”
Jet Li Wenzhang starred in the action movie "Fuji Detective", aiming for a billion-dollar box office. ”
“......”
Drafts are flying all over the place.
In contrast, "Can I Say" fell silent.
Not only did he not issue much press release, but he didn't even respond to Wen Zhang's rhetoric.
In fact, when two movies are released on the same schedule, it is common for them to pull each other and spray each other, and the more fierce and hot the spray, it is a good thing for both movies.
But "Can I Say" really calmed down, and previewed, screened, and roadshows step by step.
Even when the reporter deliberately asked Zhou Jin's opinion at the roadshow site, Zhou Jin just smiled faintly and said, "We make movies in a down-to-earth manner, and leave the rest to the audience."
On January 31, "Fuji Detective" and "Can I Say" were officially released on the same schedule, which is quite a bit of a-for-tat.
Industry insiders know very well that Zhou Jin was inexplicably hacked before, and later starred in "Journey to the West".
These two families are equivalent to having a feud first.
This time, the two movies collided, and no one believed it if it was a coincidence.
Just look at how Zhou Jin operates.
Late at night, Zhou Jin ended the roadshow in the magic capital, hurriedly returned to Lao Hu's mansion, took a shower, and it was almost there.
Lao Hu was wrapped in thick pajamas, with a black mask on his face, and came out with a glass of milk, "Hurry up and drink and go to sleep, if it weren't for you, I would have gone to bed early, you don't know how much it hurts your skin to stay up late." ”
"I remember when you used to drink and masturbate, you weren't so particular, what's the matter, you're a lot older, and you're going to take the old fresh meat route?"
"There's no way," Lao Hu pursed his lips and sighed, "I don't seem to have any other drama appointments except for idol dramas." Sister K wanted me to play "Flower Thousand Bone" before, saying that this play can be popular, so I'll think about it again. ”
"You can't like "Flower Thousand Bone", what do you think of "Langya Bang"?" Zhou Jin turned the milk cup, thought about it, and felt that it was time for "Langya Bang" to come out.
"What kind of drama is that? Listen to this name, it's an ancient puppet again?"
"It can only be said that it is a costume, as for whether an idol is an idol or not, it depends on who plays it, I can only tell you that this play belongs to you," Zhou Jin drank half a cup of milk in one gulp, "After drinking your milk, I will return you a play, is it interesting enough?"
"Don't play word games with me, I don't have milk for you to drink, go to your house. ”
"You are filthy, when you read the script, don't cry and beg me. ”
"I'll think about it again," Lao Hu has been transforming for a long time, although there is no shortage of hot searches, but there are really no works in the past two years, and there is already some interest at this time.
Zhou Jin didn't bother to comfort him, anyway, as soon as "Langya Bang" came out, this guy was estimated to have developed better than himself.
He thought about whether to ignore "Langya Bang" and calculate it himself, but after all, he was a friend, and he really couldn't do it.
"By the way, when are you and Sisi going to get things done? After talking for so long, there was no movement. Lao Hu asked, pressing the mask on his face.
"Come on, wait until I'm done. "I Can Say" was finally released, and Zhou Jin was also very excited.
Lao Hu was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood, "You are very confident, I said how can you calm down, it seems that you have already planned it, tsk, Wenzhang is in danger." ”
"Hmph," Zhou Jin smiled slightly, "I, Zhou, have always had revenge and debts." ”
He has been in the circle for so long, and he has seen a lot of various pickled things, but Wen Zhang is the only one who dares to do something to him.
If he doesn't call back, he won't be able to go with his mind!
