Chapter 205: Smashing the Signboard?
"The Return of the Great Sage" is still in theaters, but it has passed the hot period, and the current box office and film schedule have declined relatively, but even so, the box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" has now become the second place!
A domestic animated film, and it is also 3D animation, can achieve such a result, it can be said that everyone could not imagine, and now in the Chinese animation industry, it seems that a wave of 3D animation production has faintly begun, and many animation studios are trying to produce 3D animations.
2D can't fight neon side, 3D has a certain possibility!
It's just that Zhang Liang hasn't paid much attention to the box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" recently, and he will definitely not lose money anyway, and it hasn't been taken off the shelves yet.
Right now, he has a headache about the placation of the actors of "Smiling Proud Jianghu"!
Ge Datie refused to use them, which made the reputation of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" stink all of a sudden, and because of Ge Datie's status in the film industry, other directors did not dare to oppose Ge Datie openly, after all, these rookie actors are not worth their risk!
It is definitely not a wise choice to offend a big director for the sake of these newcomers.
Of course, if Zhang Liang is willing to cooperate in writing a good script or something, there may still be directors who are willing to take a risk or something, but Zhang Liang, a director of such character, doesn't really want to cooperate, and these actors are not related to Zhang Liang, so Zhang Liang feels a little unworthy for them.
After all, Zhang Liang is not a saint, is he? He is also a selfish mortal.
Therefore, how to appease them has become a difficult problem.
Or don't you want to keep them exposed for an entire comedy show?
"Happy Comedian" or something is still good, but these people are all individuals, and it seems a little difficult for them to form a team, and I don't know if they can achieve good ratings, especially when "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has just ended.
But what else can they do with that? There's no way they're really going to make a comedy movie, right?
How much box office can a group of newcomers who have not yet made a name for themselves make a comedy movie? Not to mention that the studio is now in a state of poverty!
It costs a lot of money to make a movie, right?
Or wait until the box office revenue of "The Return of the Great Sage" arrives?
And since you want to make a movie, why do you have to hire some big-name actors? These people's salaries are not a small number, and it is really difficult to say how much box office such a movie can achieve......
Is it really necessary to throw so much money into it for some people who don't have a big relationship, and it may be a big deal?
The point is, how can I say that Zhang Liang is also a signboard now, how can I make such a movie to smash my own signboard, how can I make some mistakes, right?
Just when Zhang Liang dispelled the idea of making a movie, and had nothing to do and looked up things about comedy in the system to find inspiration, a movie suddenly caught his attention!
The leading actors are all little-known actors, and occasionally a few well-known old actors make cameos, but it has caused such a strong box office?
Is there such a movie?
So, Zhang Liang hurriedly spent a certain amount of prestige on this film to enjoy it, even if he, a person who has been tossing a comedy talent show like "Smiling Proud Jianghu" recently, even if he has read so many comedy scripts recently, he is still amused by several episodes of this movie!
What's more, although this movie is very nonsensical many times, and many of them are purely funny for the sake of being funny, but when the whole film is watched, after thinking about it in retrospect, there is still a lot of deep meaning, and it is really surprising that such a movie is performed by a group of new actors.
And more importantly, the cost of shooting is cheap!
Well, it's not very cheap, it's just relatively cheap.
Therefore, this is also the reason why after Zhang Liang was happy, he instantly looked bitter again.
Because he's really poor now!
The studio's money is all on "The Return of the Great Sage", although "Journey to the West" is popular, but the box office revenue still has to go through a long statistical accounting, so this money must be a lot, but it is not so fast.
And "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is the same, although "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has ended, but the later statistical accounting and the like need a certain amount of time and a certain procedure can be completed, so during this time, Zhang Liang is still poor.
I was still having a headache before, but now I have finally found a solution, Zhang Liang's eagerness can be imagined, and more importantly, this appeasement is quite urgent, and the more it drags on, the easier it is to cause some unnecessary trouble.
But what about money?
"What? What do you say?" When Shao Xiaomin was hurriedly called to the office by Zhang Liang, and when she heard Zhang Liang say that she was going to make a movie, her mind suddenly became confused again.
"Isn't this to appease the actors?"
"Big brother, didn't you get up today without taking medicine?" Shao Xiaomin rolled his eyes, and even directly stepped forward to test Zhang Liang's forehead temperature with his hand, and Zhang Liang naturally slapped Shao Xiaomin's hand away.
"Seriously, I'm going to make a movie, you go get me some money. ”
"I ...... Okay, then I'll contact someone to rob the bank tonight, and if something happens to me, you should remember to take care of yourself, although I will definitely confess you. ”
"I ......" it was Zhang Liang's turn to roll his eyes this time, "I said seriously, whether it is the box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" or the royalties of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", you can help me communicate, and first do a little emergency." ”
"Big brother, you didn't wake up, did you? Do you know how much it costs to make a movie?"
"Yes. "Nonsense, the system is so clear, what is not clear, although there may be a certain difference between the two worlds, but this difference is actually not big, not to mention that there is a lot of money in that world about song royalties, there is no need to worry about this here, it is more expensive than that world.
"You know a fart!" Shao Xiaomin rolled his eyes, "The Return of the Great Sage" is an animated film, and it costs 80 million to invite stars, and because it is promoted by the Ministry of Culture, the promotion costs of many films are saved, do you want to make a live-action movie now? Do you know that just inviting actors will cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions? Where does our studio get so much money? Or you wait for the box office dividends of "The Return of the Great Sage" to be paid. “
"It's not too late, take a little bit of emergency first, and I don't want big names, those actors in "Smiling Proud Jianghu" are enough, at most, just call a few old acquaintances to visit and invite them to a meal. ”
"What? Don't invite celebrities? Are you going to smash your own sign?" Rolling his eyes, Shao Xiaomin directly took off the badge on his chest and threw it in front of Zhang Liang, "Boss, I apply for resignation and calculate my salary." ”
"Uh......"2
