No matter what country you are in, the summer season is the most important time of the year for the film industry, with various heavyweight commercial giants taking turns, with blockbusters colliding every week, and maybe even two blockbusters in a week.

In this case, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" is about to face the attack of Hollywood blockbusters, which seems to be an egg hitting a stone, and the ending is already doomed.

If it was before last year, it would have been difficult for this kind of all-Asian film to achieve good results in North America and other places, but with the popularity brought by "Crazy Asian Rich", there are more films about Asian culture!

It's not just people of Asian descent who can accept it, but even many whites, blacks, and Latinas are willing to go to the cinema to watch this type of film.

That's why "Ghost Blows the Lantern" was given the opportunity to be released on a large scale in North America, which is a condition that other films do not have.

The word Feng Shui is not uncommon in the United States, and it has been mentioned in many American dramas.

Zhang Chu just hopes that this film is better not to let the distributor lose money, so that more Chinese films will enter the North American film market and even the world film market in the future!

Zhou Kang, who came uninvited, continued: "At the beginning, "Psychological Crime" was very miserable at the overseas box office, that is, it got a box office of 300 million yen on the Dongying side, and it was only 18 million yuan in exchange. There are very few other countries and regions, and the United States simply took $700,000 and didn't screen it. ”

As the first film adapted from Zhang Chu's work, "City Lights of Psychological Crime" achieved an explosive box office in the domestic market, and even won the global box office list of the week with the domestic box office alone.

It's just that when it was released in the United States, there were only seven or eight movie theaters a week, and there were only a few of them in such a big United States, which was extremely pitiful.

Since "Ghost Blows the Lantern" has been distributed in North America by Twentieth Century Fox, the strength of this film company is still there, and since it is said that it will be distributed on a large scale, it will definitely not be less than 2,000 theaters by then, which is a huge progress!

Although it is not as good as Hollywood blockbusters, there are often four or five thousand theaters, but the number of two thousand is not easy for a Chinese-language film.

"Uncle Zhou, you came all the way here, shouldn't it be for this?" Zhang Chu didn't think he was so idle, he could obviously make it clear on the phone.

Zhou Kang sat on the chair and shook it, and said with a smile: "Of course not. There are several other things.,Shonan Satellite TV has decided to use your song as the theme song.,I listened to it.,I feel amazing.,This song can be sung like that......"

"Sing as much as you want, and you can send me a copy too. I haven't heard of it myself, so I don't know how bad it is from what I imagined. ”

"I forwarded it to the mailbox, and they gave 50,000 yuan in copyright fees, although it is not much, but it can be regarded as acquaintance. ”

In recent years, the music scene has become more and more sluggish, and it is difficult for most songwriters to work tens of thousands, and the money given by Shonan Satellite TV, which has always been picky, is all for Zhang Chu's sake.

Zhang Chu didn't particularly care about the money, he replied: "Help me donate it to the foundation, I have to go to the foundation to check the accounts in a few days, so as not to be misappropriated!"

Each of his works has a corresponding income in the charity foundation, and the entire foundation does not raise funds from the outside world, and it is all Zhang Chu's money to maintain the operation.

At first, I bought books and stationery to give to children in remote mountainous areas, and then after the money increased, I helped them repair libraries and basketball courts.

With Zhang Chu's relationship in the book industry, and the fact that he buys a large number every time, it is basically the cost price.

"Good. You should be reported to do these things, it's not a good thing to be obscure all the time, call on your fans to do charity together! This is an invitation to Bazaar's charity dinner, and they have been specially sent to our company, please be sure to be there. ”

Zhou Kang took out a beautiful invitation letter from his bag, Zhang Chu took it and looked at it, and his name was written on it.

"No, don't go, this is just a dung pit, I don't want to be a-stirring stick!"

Zhang Chu hurriedly shook his head.

Harper's Bazaar's charity dinner can be called a big gathering of top stars in the entertainment industry, attracting a large number of big-name stars every year, but after each dinner, it will set off a bloody storm in the entertainment industry, and the whole dinner is like a spy war blockbuster.

What rubs the red carpet without donating, what superstar donates less, and what superficial sisters grab the C position, it is simply a modern version of Gong Dou, and it is a mirror of celebrity relationships.

A kind and pure person like Zhang Chu would definitely be bullied on that occasion.

"It's a great opportunity to make an appearance, it's Friday night, so you've got time. Zhou Kang tried to persuade, "After you go, you will follow the public, and you will donate as much as others donate, as long as you don't make mistakes!"

However, Zhang Chu was not moved at all: "Uncle Zhou, don't persuade you." This Friday's dinner was only invited on Monday, and it is estimated that we were temporarily added because we had a little fame in Cannes. This kind of occasion is for the stars of the entertainment industry, it's not appropriate for us to go! I don't know anyone, do you go there to watch the whole show?"

"Yes, you can bring your own melon seed drink, see how those stars tear on the spot, maybe you will have a new book inspiration. I was thinking that if you were going to go, I could give you the opportunity to go on stage, and this dinner was broadcast live on Jiangdong Satellite TV. ”

Zhou Kang jokingly said, anyway, the decision is in Zhang Chu's hands, and the agent also works for the boss.

The TV station in his hometown couldn't convince Zhang Chu, "No, no, no, you just say that I'm concentrating on writing books now." ”

"What if they hack you? People in the entertainment industry are best at splashing dirty water, and when the time comes, public opinion thinks that you are not willing to do charity and love. ”

Zhang Chu glanced at Zhou Kang in surprise: "Isn't this your job responsibility?"

"It's not that you don't know anyone, Chen Muyang is said to be going to perform on stage, and several actors who have acted in your adaptation of the movie will also go. ”

"Uncle Zhou, I really want exposure, but I have to hurry up and write "Lord of the Rings 3". Don't persuade me, it's settled, anyway, there are a lot of bazaars every year, and if you hit me with bad ideas, the style of their dinner is really not suitable for attending. ”

At this point, Zhou Kang no longer persuaded him, he stood up and said, "I'll go and contact Harper's Bazaar early tomorrow morning." You come up and take notes, writing books is important, and studies are also very important. ”

"Okay, Uncle Zhou, go slowly!"

After sending Zhou Kang to the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Chucai walked back, and then threw the invitation on the desk into the trash.
