Chapter 203: Persistent Ge Datie
"Journey to the West" came violently, but in the end, it only gained 100 million at the box office, although this cannot be said to be the most dismal box office movie in the history of neon animation movies, but it is definitely quite the bottom of the existence!
I thought it was a result without any suspense, but it was an accident for everyone, compared to the current bleakness of the box office of "Journey to the West", the major theaters are even more rare for the scheduling of "Journey to the West", and it is already very good to have one or two shows a day.
On the other hand, on the side of "The Return of the Great Sage", the box office is becoming more and more popular day by day, and major theaters are not stingy with the scheduling of films for "The Return of the Great Sage", and this posture feels like they are about to catch up with some big-name live-action movies. Although the popularity cannot be compared with "Journey to the West", this is definitely a miracle in the history of Chinese animated films!
The box office is 500 million in ten days, and this box office is still improving, and it is difficult to say how much box office it can get in the end!
Although there is no box office for some popular movies by famous directors, it has gradually threatened their rankings, and it is not impossible to become the second-highest grossing film in the history of Chinese cinema if this momentum continues.
The key is, even if it is the first place now, it is also Zhang Liang's movie! Although Zhang Liang of "Journey to the West" is only named as an assistant director, how to say that the screenwriter is also Zhang Liang, and because of the popularity of "The Return of the Great Sage", people have affirmed Zhang Liang's talent in screenwriting, so the expectations for "Journey to the West III" have also become stronger.
Even because of Zhang Liang's excellence in screenwriting, Zhang Liang's "Breaking the Sky" has recently received a great boost in subscriptions and clicks, and "The Legend of Wukong" has ushered in another sales frenzy.
The final finals of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" are just around the corner, and in fact, Zhang Liang did not use the mode of live broadcast of the finals like "The Voice", for "Smiling Proud Jianghu", the significance of live broadcast is not great, so there is no need to make such a fuss.
However, before the recording of the finals, Ge Datie came to Zhang Liang's studio, and the purpose was naturally quite obvious: the script!
This "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is about to end, how can this script be taken out, right? For "Journey to the West III", Ge Datie can be said to be looking forward to the stars and the moon until now, and even the crew of "Journey to the West III" has almost been formed, just waiting for Zhang Liang's script to be in place and start!
If it weren't for Zhang Liang's recent busy work, maybe Ge Datie would have come over at both ends of three days.
Now that "The Return of the Great Sage" is hot at the box office, and "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is about to end, it's time to take out the "reward"!
Especially because of the popularity of "The Return of the Great Sage", Ge Datie is even more sure of the charm of Zhang Liang's script! It is also the theme of Journey to the West, and the box office of "Journey to the West: Dream Back to the Daughter Country", which Canxing claimed to have invited a Hollywood special effects team, is all kinds of bleak, in the final analysis, it is not because the script is not good?
The popularity of "The Return of the Great Sage", Zhang Liang's screenwriting ability is obvious to all, especially Ge Datie, who has been in the director's circle all the year round, naturally understands Zhang Liang's popularity better, and recently he has heard that there seem to be Hollywood directors who want to find Zhang Liang as a screenwriter, if he drags on like this, the ghost knows when Zhang Liang will be able to come up with the script of "Journey to the West III".
Therefore, Ge Datie directly killed Zhang Liang's studio.
However, to Ge Datie's surprise, when he came to Zhang Liang's office, Zhang Liang was not surprised at all, but took out one document bag after another from the drawer and put it directly in front of Ge Datie.
"This is ......" There are only a few big words on the file bags, but just looking at these words, according to Ge Datie's years of experience, I feel that they should all be scripts, and the name on the folder should be the name of this script.
"Director Ge, we are also old friends, but I have always been concerned about the script, you see. is also a Journey to the West theme of "Journey to the West", nonsensical comedy and Chinese martial arts theme "Kung Fu", spoof and hilarious modern comedy "Thai Embarrassment", or Director Ge You want to challenge other genres, this "Infernal Affairs" about undercover is also quite good, you pick one. ”
"Haven't you been very busy lately, and you have written so many scripts?" Ge Datie looked at the four thick document bags in surprise, and knew very well in his heart that since they were all scripts written by Zhang Liang, they were definitely quite good existences, and just taking out one of them casually could make a bunch of directors fight for their heads!
But that's not what he really wants!
What he wants is "Journey to the West III"!
"Genius is so powerful, how about it? If it's hard to choose, you can also take a look first, we can be regarded as old acquaintances. ”
I didn't sign a contract, and I didn't sign any confidentiality agreement, and a screenwriter who is a little famous about casually showing people a script will not do it, and even if he shows it, he can only read part of it. And Zhang Liang's talent in screenwriting now, the script he abbreviated is naturally the existence that he wants to grab, and this kind of treasure is even more impossible to show casually, but because of his trust in Ge Datie and the relationship between the two, Zhang Liang is naturally very relieved.
"What about "Journey to the West III"?" Ge Datie looked at the four scripts, licked his mouth, and finally said what he thought in his heart.
"Uh...... Then you can take a look at this, right?" said, Zhang Liang handed the script of "Journey to the West" in front of Ge Datie, "This script is also very good, I have made a great subversion of Journey to the West, and it is also suitable for the current film market, if you use dim sum in terms of special effects, the effect will definitely be good, and the box office will definitely not be less than one billion......"
"I just want "Journey to the West III". Ge Datie directly pushed the script back, and he said very resolutely.
"Uh......" Zhang Liang scratched the back of his head very loudly, "Director Ge, I don't want to pit you because I treat you as a friend, "Journey to the West" is really not suitable for making a sequel, isn't it good to make it a milestone in your directorial career?"
"You can write four of your miscellaneous scripts, why is it so difficult for you to write a sequel?
"Director Ge, I really can't write it......" Zhang Liang really didn't dare to hand over the script of "Journey to the West III" to Ge Datie, which definitely ruined Ge Datie and ruined the classic work of "Journey to the West". Director Liu Zhenwei of that parallel world, filmed "Journey to the West III" and sold a feeling, the box office was miserable and was scolded by various people, and the box office in Xiangjiang was only 20 tens of thousands before it was taken off the shelves, which can be seen how ruined.
How could Zhang Liang make Ge Datie jump with this kind of pit?
"You are too untrustworthy to say this! At the beginning, I said that I would help you sit in "Smiling Proud Jianghu" after giving me the script of "Journey to the West III", but now you are ...... like this" Ge Datie shook his head and slapped the table with hatred, "Okay! Zhang Liang! The wings are stiff, right? You refuse to write and pull down, I'll do it myself!"
After speaking, Ge Datie left Zhang Liang's office in a huff.
