Chapter 913: Glorious Moment
Paramount is one of Hollywood's oldest production companies and has a very glorious history.
However, after entering the 21st century, the company has not been able to bloom enough!
The "Transformers" series, which originally relied on for survival, has been played badly, and the word-of-mouth box office has hit the streets.
And the rest of the movies can't hold up to the wall, and the films with high hopes are always unsatisfactory at the box office.
Paramount has been at the bottom of Hollywood's six major studios for six consecutive years, watching Disney, Warner Bros., and Universal Pictures announce annual box office breaks the $5 billion or even $6 billion mark one after another.
is not only at the bottom of the Big Six, but even the later established Lionsgate has surpassed it, and is about to be removed from the so-called Hollywood Big Six.
Last year, Paramount's global box office accumulation was $1.6 billion, which is not as good as the data of a single Disney movie!
No film has reached the top ten in the world for many years, and such a poor performance also comes from Paramount's pig teammate attributes.
This year, a spy war film finally managed to achieve a box office of $200 million in North America, and it was no surprise that it became Paramount's highest-grossing film in North America this year.
However, when this film continued to rush up in the film market, it was solidified by its pig teammates!
Originally, there were still thousands of theaters showing it, but Paramount went to cut the theater himself, which led to unsatisfactory follow-up box office, not that the theaters did not show it.
can do his own stupid things, Zhang Chu really didn't dare to hand over "The Lord of the Rings" to this company.
No matter how sincere the other party is, he doesn't believe in the strength of this company, and he has slipped from the industry leader step by step to the bottom, which is obviously due to many reasons.
Zhang Chu had no intention of understanding the reason, he just wanted to avoid his pig teammates!
He attaches great importance to the film and television adaptation rights of the "Lord of the Rings" series, and now it's 2020, if you can't make a work that is more shocking than the original time and space, then don't make it embarrassing.
"You tell Blair and ask him to drag it for me first, saying that there are no plans for film and television adaptations for the time being, saying that I don't trust Hollywood adaptations a little, and I plan to wait for the original work to be released and see the situation. Anyway, let's be tactful, so that he can save some stumbling blocks for our project when the time comes. ”
Zhang Chu knows very well the price of refusal, and only another giant can deal with one giant.
It will be up to us to see who is more sincere among the other major companies, and we have to see if there is another pure book lover like Peter Jackson!
Zhou Kang also knew the situation, and he said to Zhang Chu through the door of the locker room: "You have to speed up a little, they are almost ready." ”
Zhang Chu, who changed into a suit, walked out quickly, but he still had to put on a little makeup, so he didn't have to be photogenic.
Fortunately, the men's makeup is relatively simple, otherwise ten minutes will not work at all, the makeup artist just brightens his skin a little and deepens the contours of his facial features, so when the film festival staff appears, he can stand calmly beside Xu Ji.
"I heard that there were a lot of people at your new book signing in the morning, but I didn't expect you to have so many readers in Cannes. Xu Ji praised and said, "Let's take a look after I return to China, all the products sold here are in English." ”
Zhang Chu pointed to his room and said, "I'll have a copy over there, and I'll find time for you when the movie is over." ”
"Now during the festival, I don't have time to read even a book. You better keep it!" Xu Ji looked at the countless media and audiences outside, shook his watch and said to Gong Li, who was ready to go: "Later, I will let you show this group of foreigners what Oriental beauty is." ”
Gong Li is wearing a modified cheongsam, and her body curve and her own temperament are well integrated with the clothes, which is pure Suzhou embroidery, which is not bad compared to the high-end handmade customization of those big-name clothes.
She didn't have any nervous look, and this kind of occasion was a common occurrence for her: "Then I'll be waiting for you in the Movie Palace!"
"It's not certain who waits. Although we walked the red carpet later, we will definitely walk faster than you, and we will not stop yet. ”
At three o'clock in the afternoon local time, the entire red carpet was cleaned by the staff, and there was no one on it, not even the jury went up.
This is a glorious moment belonging to "Farewell My Concubine", not only in Cannes, but the whole world is waiting for their crew to step on the red carpet!
Zhang Chu has walked the red carpet in the past, but he has not been broadcast to the rest of the world like this, and there are not so many people watching from the sidelines.
"Relax, relax, we are just a foil for the stars, and the Chinese stars are basically the foil of the Hollywood stars, and not many people will notice us. Just like you usually walk, you must not share your hands and feet!" Xu Ji instructed as he treated Zhang Chu as an inexperienced child.
Over there, Gong Li had already posed in front of the cameras of Chinese and foreign reporters, and the official broadcast camera gave her three minutes, which was very good.
The clicking sound from the camera came over, and Zhang Chu, who had just stepped on the red carpet, found that many reporters were aiming at him and Xu Ji, an old and young partner!
Many Chinese celebrities are ignored after they go abroad, and there are no reporters to shoot them except for those who have been arranged in advance when they rub the red carpet.
Therefore, in some forums, some people have specially sorted out these photos to see if there are any foreign reporters who have taken them, which is the indicator of popularity and the amazing degree of red carpet dressing.
Even if they are not famous, if they are beautiful and well-dressed, then journalists will not skimp on the storage space of their cameras.
Now more than half of them are filming themselves!
Zhang Chu was a little confused, but the expression on his face was still a faint smile, and this smile was about to freeze.
"Zhang, look over here. ”
"Zhang, look at my camera!"
"Zhang Chu's side!"
At most, the foreign reporter could only pronounce the sound of zhang, and now he was shouting his name one after another, trying to make him turn around and pat him in the face.
And outside the railing behind the reporter was a dense crowd of spectators, and some of them were shouting Zhang Chu's name!
The official broadcast camera of the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival also focused on Zhang Chu, a young man who only finished promoting his new book in Cannes in the morning and stepped on the red carpet of a film adaptation of an old film in the afternoon.
The careful director was afraid that the audience in front of the computer would not know Zhang Chu, and deliberately marked Zhang Chu's name and identity on the broadcast screen, so that netizens in YouTube and other places could not be confused!
"This reputation is rising a little fast!"
Zhang Chu could still see the numbers of the savior system in his mind during the red carpet, and his kung fu actually rose by more than 100,000 in a moment.
Prestige is the best thing, he was very happy in his heart, even the smile on his face deepened, and even waved his hand at the camera, which was regarded as greeting netizens.
