Chapter 37: Don't Give Me a Chance to Play Force!—4/5
In fact, it has not been a day or two that Lu Chuan and Zhang Junsheng have had conflicts, as early as when Zhang Junsheng made his first short film "Never Expected", Lu Chuan's father Lu Tianming scolded him severely on behalf of the writers' group.
Of course, the result was that Lu Tianming was almost beaten out of heart disease...
A literati like Lu Tianming who lives in the system, who is the opponent of a wild man like Zhang Junsheng?
Three downs, five divided by two, directly solved him!
There are still jokes left on the Internet...
Lu Chuan was not a big director who filmed "Nanjing!Nanjing!" back then, although he was very angry, he didn't dare to scold him head-on - Zhang Junsheng at that time was a new business card launched in the Beijing circle!
Not anymore!
Zhang Junsheng has many contradictions with the Beijing circle, and it is said that his new play has been blocked...
He is politically correct.
Tsk, Lu Chuan probably forgot how Zhang Junsheng stood at the top all the way, is it a movie?
No, it's a mouth cannon!
……
After reading Weibo, Zhang Junsheng asked: "When will "Zodiac" come up?"
"Why are you asking this?"
"It's just a simple question... Why do you think Lu Chuan is targeting us?"
"If he doesn't scold, he can't do it, "The King's Feast", Xingmei lost 100 million!"
"Got it!"
You have to mix in the circle to return it, but it's okay to cheat investors?
If this is placed in North America, it will be completely thrown into the cold palace...
The other side behind the glory of "XXX director's works" is that the director is the one who has to take the blame no matter what.
Hollywood is a place that pays attention to rules, and of course there are "laws" to follow when banishing the cold palace, simply because you don't make money.
If the director can continue to bring rolling profits to studios, brokerage companies, media groups, toy companies, etc., there will be the honor of the stars holding the moon, so as to have a huge budget space and revenue return - of course, the higher the win, the more painful the fall, once the superstar position falls, for example, a production with a budget of more than 100 million dollars is pushed into the abyss of box office fiasco, the director's fate may be doomed and never to be used again.
Director John Lee Hancock is a classic case of "Hollywood Cold Palace".
The first film, "Pitcher of the Mind", grossed $80.69 million worldwide and had a budget of $22 million...
But then he filmed "The Battle of the Alamo", and the high budget of $107 million only returned to the global box office of $25.81 million - not surprisingly, he was banished to the cold palace and "on vacation" for a long time.
It wasn't until five years later when he filmed "Weakness" that he reunited with Hollywood!
Once you are beaten into the cold palace, it is not easy to turn over, it is the same for everyone, in this rapidly changing industry, today you are still tomorrow's star, tomorrow may be yesterday's yellow flower!
This is also because there are too many good people in Hollywood who can replace you at any time.
In the past few years, there have been more and more outstanding talents in Chinese films, and a large number of young directors have appeared...
Of course, Lu Chuan doesn't want to be beaten into the cold palace, so he has to find a good back-back man - the theater chain is the best back-back man!
There have been a bunch of people criticizing the theater chain before, from "Me 11", "Sedek Bale" to "Twelve Citizens"...
Why don't good movies get high box office?
The reason is the cinema schedule!
You don't schedule these good movies!
Zhang Junsheng sometimes thinks about whether to schedule more films for excellent literary films, after thinking about it, he still obeys Ye Ning's arrangement, after all, theaters want to make a profit, compared to the mainstream audience with a huge base, in the eyes of theaters that must make themselves snobbish, niche means that no one watches it.
"The King's Feast" is a niche literary film wrapped in big investment...
If it weren't for the participation of a bunch of stars, such a movie would not have had such a large number of films.
"If he wants to be scolded, then scold!"
Zhang Junsheng took his mobile phone to organize the language, ready to respond, and then Tang Ningyu smiled: "Xiao Ye has finished scolding!"
"Who?"
Ye Ning said: "I don't want to make any comments on personal remarks, how can director Lu Chuan say that it is his freedom! Let's use data to speak: In the past week, "Youth Pi", "Days Related to Youth", and "The King's Feast" are the mainstream of the market, and the film schedule of "Youth Pi" is 31%, and the box office is stable at around 20 million in a single day; the film schedule of "Days Related to Youth" is 32%, and the box office is 19 million; and "The King's Feast" The film schedule in Yuehua Cinema has always been about 19 percent, and then, the box office is less than 3 million..."
"Movie theaters are going to make money, it must be which movie's audience has more than one movie, how can this be called suppression?"
"According to the regulations of the screening law, the movie will be released for three days, and the theater chain has the right to cut the film that does not do well at the box office, and we have tolerated it for ten days, which is enough to give you face!"
Tang Ningyu praised: "This guy, I always thought he was a little shou, but I didn't expect to provoke people, the head is the way, speak with data, and do a good job!"
Zhang Junsheng is noncommittal...
……
Damn, I snatched the opportunity for Lao Tzu to pretend to be forced!
finally got room to play, and the little brother actually made the first move...
Zhang Junsheng was very unhappy.
Lu Chuan also simply deleted the previous Weibo...
It's clear, people admit it!
This is an unspoken rule: celebrities in the entertainment industry, sports circle, and cultural circle, regardless of whether they are pretending to be *forced or awesome*, there is one behavior that is recognized as cowardice: deleting blogs.
If you have a kind of hair, you have a kind of keep, regardless of the southeast and northwest winds, I will not fall.
In the future, when others mention it, they will give it a thumbs up, although they have a poor IQ and a scumbag character, their attitude is still tough.
For example, the great protector of the Knife Sect, not only did not delete the blog, but also was keen to post a long Weibo, and finally summoned Fan Xiaopang with seven heart-shaped stones...
Zhang Junsheng was very depressed, and what was even more depressed was that he found that the publicity plan for "Tang Detective" formulated by the publicity team actually had "Base Camp"...
directly called An Yugang, who was in charge of publicity, over: "I, Zhang Junsheng, go to the base camp?"
“… We have data surveys, and most of the audience of "Base Camp" are teenagers between the ages of 15 and 25, which coincides with the target group of "Tang Detective" several times..."
“… Our company also has a variety show, "Extreme Challenge"..."
"The next season hasn't started yet..."
"Running Man?"
“… The next season hasn't started yet..."
"Twenty-Four Hours?"
"That's a network comprehensive, and the coverage is not enough!"
“… I... I can participate in "Bass Appointment", "Interview with Yang Yan"..."Women in the World!"
An Yugang laughed directly: ""Women in the World, you really can't do it!"
“… I just don't want to go to "The Camp", I heard that they made a "Happy Camp: Happy Home"?
"You have to go, and it's best to be with Tong Yali..."
“… Why? I don't know her very well..."
An Yugang: "(???)"
"Okay, I can participate in "Base Camp", by the way, has the review department's approval opinion on "No Man's Land" been released?"
“… It's already out, but I think it's best to wait for the first day of the release of "Tang Detective" to make the news public. ”
