Chapter 1116: Advancing by Leaps and Bounds [Asking for Subscription]
Using "Life of Pi" to practice his team, Zhang Chu felt so luxurious for the first time!
How many people dream of an Oscar nomination are treated in such a rough way.
"Maybe I shouldn't be alone, I can ask David to help. ”
After Zhang Chu calmed down and stroked the cat, the whole person's thinking became clearer.
The script of any movie is not written by one person, and Life of Pi is no different!
In addition to Zhang Chu, there is another screenwriting team, and the leader of this team is David McGee. His name also appears in the opening credits, where the screenwriter line.
Hollywood screenwriters are really hard, and of course there is no better in China, this position is a gas bag.
In order to enhance the importance of authorship and avoid film companies from changing screenwriters at will, the screenwriters' union has a rule, that is, the title of the story can only be given to two screenwriters or two screenwriting teams.
In the movie "Life of Pi", Zhang Chu must be the chief screenwriter, and David McGee is another screenwriter who enjoys the right of authorship.
For screenwriters, the right of authorship is very important, which represents the degree of contribution to a film script, and will affect the selection of relevant awards, and will also determine the distribution of film dividends and bonuses.
If "Life of Pi" is really nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the Oscars, then Zhang Chu will take the stage with David McGee to accept the award, and each has a little golden man!
In the Hollywood system, writing scripts is the lowest layer, and even screenwriters who have become famous are disadvantaged.
David McGee is not unknown, he was nominated for an Oscar in 2004 for "Finding Neverland", which was the year when Li Yu won the best director.
After so many years in Hollywood, there must be some network resources.
One for money, one for effort, it's simply the best match!
If Zhang Chu can't leave the country, David McGee can fully assume the responsibilities of his colleagues in the Public Relations and Screenwriters Guild, and that is a clear division of labor.
Otherwise, if Zhang Chu is in charge of everything, it would be too much to lie down and pick up an Oscar nomination.
Honor to share, then the work is also shared.
After thinking about this, he suddenly felt that the Oscar nomination seemed to be on the verge of being earned.
It is estimated that the rest of the screenwriters are not so big and directly spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on public relations, and they normally don't have so much money for a movie!
Writing an original script is not profitable, and the most profitable is the screenwriter doctor, that is, helping those who are about to start filming to rewrite or revise the script, and in just a few weeks, they can get half a million dollars.
Regardless of whether you can be nominated or not, as long as you can make a name for yourself, it is a good thing that the prestige value in the savior system can increase.
The night breeze was slightly cool, Zhang Chu carried the matcha back to the room, and he checked the news on the Internet while eating oranges.
In the WeChat group, An Mi shared a news link and left a message: "Brother Chu, is this your hotel about to open?"
Zhang Chu plans to read the news content before replying, the hotel in France has been built, but it seems that it is far from the level of business, and it is currently managed by the Oriental Hotel Management Group.
[According to French media reports, "Life of Pi" had an ingenious premiere at the Payet swimming pool in Paris. This is the origin of the name of the school in the movie, and director Li Yu conducted a 1:1 reproduction shooting on the set. Spectators must put on life jackets and 3D glasses to experience the "fantasy rafting" of pie on the wooden boat in the pool.
The audience can not only sit on a chair and watch the 3D glasses, but even feel the pie swaying in the sea.
This is the premiere of Warner Bros. and Hallym Culture Media, which subverts the experience of watching movies in the past, and only the lucky ones who are selected will be able to board the boat to watch.
According to foreign social media videos, the water in the pool was not drained, but ropes were used to connect the boats to increase stability, and a total of 20 boats can accommodate a total of 80 people to watch the movie.
During the screening, the water throughout the pool vibrates with the sound effects, adding to the immersive sense of fantasy. 】
Although the hotel is not officially open, this Paya pool outside the hotel has been restored and is ready for use. It just so happens that there is a hot spot of "Youth Pi" now, and if you can rub the heat, you have to rub it.
Otherwise, after this village, there would be no such shop!
Originally, the establishment of the entire hotel was based on the movie of the same name, and it is estimated that it will have to wait another two or three months before it can open, and it will be the Oscars at that time.
If "Life of Pi" can win a few more awards and leave a name in film history, then the business of this hotel will not be too bad, and Zhang Chu's investment of tens of millions of euros finally sees a little hope.
This news from Tencent has been read more than 1 million times, and the number of comments below is very large, and it can be seen that netizens are very envious.
"Is there such a place in China?"
"Anyway, I have a friend who is clamoring to see this film, is it really good-looking?"
"Foreigners just know how to play!"
"Don't worship the foreign outside, you can see clearly, it is jointly sponsored by Zhang Chu's agency and the producer. The last time I traveled to France, the tour guide said that the pool had been abandoned for decades, but it was re-rented by Zhang Chu as a hotel, presumably to advertise the hotel. ”
"Once in my life, I'm going to have to go to a Coldplay concert, I'm going to revisit the route of The Da Vinci Code, and I'm going to go for a swim in this hotel. Hahahaha"
"That's okay???"
"Isn't this what a 4D movie is called, what's so strange. ”
"Hahahaha, if you go up and down when watching a movie, will you be a little seasick. ”
"What a rush~~"
Zhang Chu was actually a little confused, if he hadn't watched the news that An Mi had turned around, he wouldn't have known that his brokerage company had done so many things behind his back.
He had long forgotten about this matter in his mind, Ye Shumei ran the company very well, and this news should be published all over the world!
Now everything is ready, just waiting for the movie to be released.
Tens of millions of viewers around the world are looking forward to it, and their appetites have been stretched to the limit.
The number of people who want to watch Maoyan movies has exceeded 200,000, and most of the movie theaters have begun to conduct pre-sales, and more than 31 million yuan of tickets have been sold for the midnight show starting at 12 o'clock tonight!
The movie officially released on Friday will premiere in the early hours of the morning, but the time of 00:00 will confuse many audiences, and many theaters will write 12 o'clock in the evening directly on Thursday, so as not to make the audience remember the wrong time.
There are still 2 hours left for the midnight show to start, and the pre-sale box office during the day on Friday also came to 88 million yuan, and the box office on the first day went directly to 300 million!
The box office bomb of late autumn has been put in place, and the long-dormant film market has finally ushered in a sensation.
