Chapter 51: Maybe We Can Cooperate? (part 3 of 5)
Roadshow + publicity, Zhang Junsheng is so busy that he even has to squeeze time to fight, how can he take care of the comments on the Internet?
Besides, with the help of the public relations team, there is no need to be like a few years ago, and you have to appear in person!
It's cool, but it's tiring.
A little bad review does not affect the movie itself, "Tang Detective" still maintains a box office revenue of more than 60 million on weekdays, and won more than 200 million box office in three days on New Year's Day, with a cumulative box office of more than 1.2 billion...
Bona has tried to avoid "Tang Detective", but unfortunately the box office of "Big Shanghai" is still not very ideal...
In those two years, Wang Jing rarely encountered a water reversal.
The director's six films, "Big Shanghai", "Marry a 100-point Man", "Baccarat Overturned", "Rotten Husband Fights Rotten Wife", "Laughing Gong Zhen Wulin", "Crazy Boy: The New Order of Jianghu" did not do well at the box office, and then successfully stopped the bleeding with "Macau Fengyun"!
This logic is very similar to that of recent years, "Ace Amuses Ace", "The Legend of Demon Suppression", "Fengyun World", and then went to tinker with "New Macau Fengyun"...
Terrible!
……
Wang Jing and Wang Jiawei are often tied together for comparison.
He himself said publicly: "Wang Jiawei and I are very good friends, although we have different styles and concepts of making movies, there is no contradiction between us." He pursues the artistic achievement of the film itself in today's concept, while I pursue more good-looking and money-making, I think that making movies must make money, otherwise I simply don't make them. ”
"I have adapted a lot of Wang Jiawei's movies, and after I adapted it, the people around me couldn't laugh, so I simply took it to the market and sold it, so that I could make a lot of money!"
"I don't mind people saying I'm a 'bad movie director', didn't the Song Dynasty regime in China not and didn't recognize Su Dongpo at first? That's because Wang Anshi was there. I believe that maybe in 50 years, my films will also be considered art. ”
"As a boy, you'd better tell others that you like Wang Jiawei's movies, so that girls will like you. ”
You see, he doesn't mind being scolded by others for being a bad movie director, but he doesn't mind that his movies can't make money!
Such people... Very sincerely!
Anyway, Zhang Junsheng admires Wang Jing very much, just because he was slapped by the boss in order to support Qiu Shuzhen...
And he has also made literary films - "Stupid Child" is directed by him.
At that time, in order to win the directing rights of this film, Wang Jing took the initiative to tell the investor that he could do without the director fee.
But the box office of "Stupid Child" was not good, and Wang Jing no longer got involved in the filming of literary films after that.
This gentleman's control of commercial films in the early years is admirable!
"Actually, I am the most powerful, the first is the screenwriter, the second is the producer, the third is the actor, and the fourth is the director.
In the beginning, I even thought that I was a good, but then I found out that a lot of people me, and I slowly built up my confidence.
Actually, I am filming from the perspective of a producer, and I won't use 11 yuan to shoot something that can be shot for 10 yuan. So the level has been at 75 points for a long time. I will try to change that in the last decade of my directorial career. ”
Why hasn't it changed since?
Maybe I think there are still a lot of people who 'past me', so I'll make some entertainment movies that aren't too...
However, "Big Shanghai", he really put a lot of thought into it!
invited Fa Ge, his favorite actor, of course, he had to put a lot of effort into it, but unfortunately the box office was a huge loss!
Du Yuesheng, it stands to reason that he is also a legendary figure with a high national popularity, but all the movies about him have been lost!
"Shanghai Tycoon", "Shanghai Emperor", and then "Greater Shanghai"...
Poisonous!
As for why "Big Shanghai" is not good at the box office, it is probably because many films made by Wang Jing in recent years are too disappointing...
And the film schedule is indeed not as good as "Zodiac" and "Detective Chinatown"...
……
On January 10th, Yuehua held a celebration party for "Detective Chinatown" - the box office broke 1.5 billion...
In the afternoon, three o'clock.
In Beijing, in a mansion in Xihuan, Zhou Xing stood in front of the window, his hands on his chest, and his face was full of loneliness - he knew that the play "Detective Chinatown" was prepared for him by Zhang Junsheng at the beginning, including Wang Baobao's Hokkien language, which was created according to Zhou Xing's origin...
It's a pity that he left Yuehua and could only give the opportunity to Wang Baobao in vain!
He also went to watch "Detective Chinatown", the lens, logic, and plot were not picky, the only thing was that he felt that Wang Baobao acted too much, if he was replaced...
It is impossible to have his share, he knows what Zhang Junsheng's attitude is towards him.
Zhou Xing has never regretted his choice, even now, he still feels that he is doing the right thing.
Eight hundred million, who can not be tempted?
Moreover, "Truant Dragon" also sells well...
In the second part, his confidence was even stronger.
The premise is that Yuehua Cinema Line should arrange films according to the normal market...
Last time, "Truant Dragon" was just abandoned...
If you want your movie to be screened normally, it's very simple, Zhang Junsheng just nodded.
Looking at the sunshine outside, Zhou Xing's eyes showed a little thought, there are personal grievances between them, but more maybe it is a commercial behavior, if he can prove his box office appeal, maybe Zhang Junsheng will forgive him...
With that in mind, he pulled out the invitation from his pocket - it was the invitation to the "Detective Chinatown" celebration party that his agent had obtained through multiple operations...
At the same time, he dialed Xu Yan's phone: "I'll go to the director's celebration banquet later..."
"Huh, you don't participate, why?"
“… Are you in France?"
He had already contacted Wang Bo before, and Wang Bo was not in the capital...
It's embarrassing, do you want to meet Zhang Junsheng alone?
……
Hotel banquet, cups and lamps staggered.
Zhang Junsheng personally went down to toast and thanked many people for their support.
This is also the proper meaning, this time, not only many people in the entertainment industry came to cheer, but also many other industry bigwigs.
"Detective Chinatown" seems to only benefit Yuehua, China Film, and Weiying Alliance, but in the secondary market, Yuehua's stock price has risen by 15% - there must be a bunch of bigwigs helping to promote!
Dong Ping raised his glass: "Congratulations on the success of your movie." This is quite an astonishing achievement. ”
"Thank you!"
Zhang Junsheng smiled and nodded.
Dong Ping took a slight sip of wine, and after waiting for another actress who came over to say hello next to him left, he went straight to the topic. "I heard you still have a screenplay, when are you going to turn it into a full-fledged film project?"
"This will take a while, and you know that "No Man's Land" may not be released, so I will take a break for a while!"
"That's a shame. ”
Dong Ping shook his head a little regretfully: "If you have any financial needs, you can find me!"
"Thank you..."
