Chapter 71: The Choice (1/4)
Mulan can be made into a trilogy...
Disney made a sequel!
Of course the sequel was a failure!
DVD that was not released and was released directly ...
If it weren't for Disney's lack of confidence in the box office, it is estimated that it would not have released a DVD directly...
When the New Zealand government heard that Zhang Junsheng's film shooting with an investment of more than 60 million US dollars might be settled in New Zealand, it did not think about it for too long and promised to give the largest preferential policy within its authority.
In fact, regardless of the industry and outside, many people understand a truth, movies are more than just movies.
Let's talk about "The Lord of the Rings", why did you choose to shoot in New Zealand? Indeed, New Zealand retains a lot of pristine scenery, but is it really irreplaceable?
The answer must be no, prompting Peter Fat to choose New Zealand, which is the factor of his home country, must occupy a certain weight, and the fact that the film was released also proves that the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has brought countless benefits to New Zealand.
Mainstream films can never be separated from the influence of realistic elements such as politics, humanities, and even region.
After "The Lord of the Rings", a bunch of Hollywood blockbusters chose to shoot in New Zealand!
The Chronicles of Narnia series, The Hobbit series, Wolverine, The Last Knight, Bridge to Wonderland, King Kong...
If "Mulan" is filmed in New Zealand and then succeeds at the box office, there will definitely be a bunch of Chinese movies coming to shoot in the future...
And "Mulan" is an epic blockbuster that requires at least 1,000 sets of armor and 5,000 sets of weapons!
The cost of props alone can make New Zealand's political axe collect a lot of taxes...
It takes a lot of time to contact a professional horse farm in New Zealand to domesticate a suitable horse for filming......
In short, it takes at least half a year to prepare...
Without meticulous preparation, trying to shoot a successful epic masterpiece is tantamount to a fool's dream!
……
In addition to looking at the preliminary preparations, the main purpose of this trip to New Zealand is to celebrate the Spring Festival.
Zhang Junsheng and Liu Sisi took the oil bottle around the South Island and North Island of New Zealand, and when they came to Wellington, Zhang's mother and Zhang's father just arrived...
Zhang Baobao is a year older, and the little girl is now about 1.6 meters tall, and she won't look too short when standing next to Zhang Junsheng.
Liu Sisi spent the Spring Festival with the Zhang family for the first time, and a few years ago, Zhang Junsheng did not return to China for the New Year at all.
The family had a meal together, and after eating, a group of people proposed to play mahjong...
Mahjong is a favorite entertainment for people in Beijing and a must-have for family gatherings.
But Zhang Junsheng won't, and Zhang Qinian won't...
The three of them can only fight the landlord...
New Zealand is really sparsely populated!
Even in Auckland, the houses are far apart, so there is basically no such thing as a "neighbor".
When you're in China, you can find a few friends to hang out and chat with, but in New Zealand, you can only think about it, because you can't find a place or a person.
There are very few KTVs and playgrounds in New Zealand, and most of everyone's usual leisure activities are fishing, planting flowers, etc., which is similar to China's retired elderly. Even if you want to go to a shopping mall or supermarket, you have to pinch it, because it will close at five or six o'clock...
Of course, you can't enjoy the most perfect welfare system while thinking about the low tax rate in China, live in a large villa with freehold property rights, and at the same time want to have a colorful entertainment life when you go out, while breathing the free air, with the blue sky and white clouds overhead, and at the same time want high-rise buildings to rise one after another;
There is no such place in the whole world!
Zhang Qinian is quite concerned about Zhang Junsheng's activities in literature and film.
Or rather, he wants Zhang Junsheng to take off his businessman's hat...
"Do you want to hand over Yuehua to a professional manager, and show up occasionally..."
"I'm only thirty-one years old, and I'm retiring?"
“… You're too aggressive, I'm a little worried..."
"That's because I was too smooth when I was young, and I've been a lot calmer in recent years!"
“… Next year, on the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, if you can be selected as one of the 100 private entrepreneurs..."
"Sure, this year I have prepared 18 billion in cash and donated at least 50 teaching buildings..."
“… Such a big deal?"
"The richest man..."
Ahem, although Zhang Qinian has 16% of Taobao shares and 8% of Ant Financial's shares, Zhang Junsheng is not a vegetarian, and I don't know what the situation is, Facebook's stock price has risen to $450 billion...
Zhang Junsheng's worth has risen by more than $10 billion...
According to Forbes' algorithm, Zhang Junsheng ranks third with a value of $73 billion...
16 billion dollars short of Bill Gates...
However, Zhang Qinian squeezed into the top 15 with $36 billion...
At the same time, it surpassed Lao Wang and ranked second in the mainland...
The father and son are out of the limelight, and of course they have to pay some protection money...
There's nothing better than donating money!
……
Although most viewers complain about the Spring Festival Gala, they still sit around and watch this show every Chinese New Year's Eve, because there is no other better program to watch.
Objectively speaking, the director team of this year's Spring Festival Gala has worked hard to invite many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars to broadcast live together in the five places, and the two sides of the strait and three places will celebrate the New Year together.
Both the scene and the number of stars are better than in previous years, and at the same time show the prosperity and strength of the country.
It's just that the language programs are really not good, and the programs in several branch venues are good.
Half of the songs are good, and the lyrics are all good. The martial arts acrobatics are good-looking, and Uncle Nose's chorus is also very harmonious and beautiful.
It can only be said that the older generation is not old, the new generation is difficult to pick the beam, the post-80s and post-90s are blooming everywhere in all walks of life, but the field of literature and art is really not good...
Can't take it!
In fact, it doesn't matter what show is shown on TV, the important thing is that the family is together.
While watching a TV show, I sent a message to my friends...
Basically, it's just four words 'Happy New Year', by the way...
Zhang Junsheng has more than 600 WeChat friends, and just sending and receiving messages is enough for him to be busy!
"Silent thoughts, but very sweet, ordinary greetings, but very warm, trust is silent, but the most real, friendship is invisible, but the most precious, blessings are simple, but always pay attention to the heart! Happy New Year! The whole family is happy!"
- Liu Yifei
"Tsk, let's start forwarding it now..."
Zhang Junsheng read the WeChat content, a little angry, the group text messages, and they were copied and pasted, and he always felt that he was not enough for the position!
“… You too, Happy New Year!"
After thinking about it, I replied with a message...
"You're in New Zealand?"
“… yes, how do you know?"
"I read Sisi's Weibo!"
"Where are you?"
"Sydney, I'm at my cousin's house... I'm going to pick up a movie after the New Year!"
"Is it Mulan?"
"Yes... You know?"
"I also have eyeliner in the United States, let me ask you a question, why don't you come to Yuehua to audition?"
Liu Yifei read Zhang Junsheng's information and was a little embarrassed...
I can't say that the team weighed it and felt that Zhang Junsheng couldn't use her, so they simply gave up...
