Chapter 922 - Selling Art [One More Requests for Subscription]
Chinese Bridge: This is all about covering.
Through the description of this official blog, there are not many people who can be so omnipotent, not to mention that Zhang Chu's identity as a global promoter was announced a few days ago.
Netizens are curious that Zhang Chu actually quietly wrote a song again, and he also wrote the theme song for this competition!
Everyone has always known that Zhang Chu's music works are all high-quality, although the number is very small, but each song is very popular.
So what does this "Chinese Dialect" sound like as a product of a similar propositional composition?
Even Zhang Chu didn't know that the Chinese Bridge program team of Shonan Satellite TV would take it out and preview it during this time period, the theme song was exposed in May, and the competition was to be held during the summer vacation in July, so it can be seen that this is really confident.
When Anmi saw the news, she couldn't stop sighing in her heart, obviously they are all the pride of Yanda, but how can she feel that the other party is far more powerful than herself and others!
If it weren't for his out-of-tune singing and stiff acting expression, I'm afraid he would really be a flawless person.
"Have you ever heard Zhang Chu hum this song?" Sun Ruiqi sat under the desk in the bedroom, he looked quite quiet, but in fact, he liked rock, domestic songs, foreign songs, and even took the time to go to music festivals.
Yang Ling had just come out of the shower at this time, and after hearing the chat of the other two roommates, he couldn't help but focus on the empty bed over there.
"Zhang Chu is definitely at Cannes now, and he is really powerful, while writing "The Lord of the Rings", he can also take classes, write songs, and shoot commercials!"
"Alas, I want to write a book again. The last book was so poorly written, I couldn't even read it myself, I really don't know how Zhang Chu got tens of thousands of words every day, he was a beast!"
Anmi thought for a while, and he smiled and said, "Why don't we ask him and see what he's doing now, so that we can open our eyes." ”
Not to mention ordinary people, even those Chinese celebrities will send a lot of photos back when they go to Cannes. But Zhang Chu is good, there is not a picture on the circle of friends and Weibo, and it is quiet as if nothing has happened.
Their friends couldn't find a sneak peek into the secrets of the Cannes Film Festival.
"Forget it, don't bother him, he must be busy right now!"
Zhang Chu, who was talked about by his friends, had already taken a shower at this time, and changed three sets of clothes in one day, which really set his personal record.
While waiting for the makeup artist to bring him, he opened his mouth and said to Zhou Kang: "Uncle Zhou, when I came back just now, a foreign reporter asked me about Paramount's purchase of the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings". Is this coming from us?"
Zhou Kang shook his head, "I didn't reveal it to the media here, but I just told Mr. Ye in WeChat that she would definitely not reveal it to foreign media." Maybe it's Random House, but now that the English version of The Lord of the Rings has been released, finding a major studio to make it into a movie would definitely be a great boost to sales. They have been in the United States for a long time, and of course they know that Paramount is tireless in destroying books, so it is possible to poke it out so that the rest of the studios can see the news. ”
In the end, Zhou Kang added: "Of course, all this is speculation, and the matter of Paramount coming to you is not a secret. ”
Zhang Chu recalled, "When I was waiting for the screening at the Movie Palace, a producer from Paramount came to me and said that he could open a green channel for us and let the film production cost get 100 million US dollars. Maybe someone else will hear the conversation at that time!"
$100 million for the Lord of the Rings is pure delusion.
When it was on the earth, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy cost more than 300 million yuan to produce, which was only an investment on the surface, and the advertising and distribution costs of each part were not under the production cost.
That's $300 million in 2000, which is worth a lot more than it is now!
Such a huge movie only cost 100 million, thanks to the influence, many fans of the Lord of the Rings are willing to make sacrifices for the movie, voluntarily participate in the production of props and scenes, and participate in the performance with zero pay.
The Lord of the Rings doesn't have that much influence, no unpaid volunteers, and no money-saving Weta special effects company.
Similarly, the New Zealand government also strongly supported the filming of this film, which has reached its peak in terms of personnel and tax refund policies.
Zhang Chu doesn't think that now is the best time to shoot "The Lord of the Rings", it has not been released yet, the feelings of readers have not been cultivated, and the power of IP has not been shown at all!
"What now?"
Zhou Kang pondered: "It's okay not to respond officially, pretend not to know the news." Now that your book adaptation is at the top, but the commercial value has not yet been confirmed, if these movies that have been adapted now can achieve very high returns, then your salary can go up a little, and you can really enjoy the treatment of a producer!"
Not every crew is willing to let the original author dictate, unless the writer can have the right to speak.
This is what Zhang Chu has been pursuing, and he has the right to speak in the film adaptation, so that some absurd adaptations in the movie can be corrected, so that there will be no farce of vindictiveness.
To put it bluntly, now it's just waiting for the price to sell, holding it in your hands.
Everything depends on the box office of "Life of Pi" and "The Da Vinci Code"!
Every film company is here for profit, they shoot commercial films to make money, and art films are also to make money, don't think that it is really for the development of film art.
If Zhang Chu can bring them huge benefits, then the right to speak is naturally not a problem.
"I don't think I'll have anything to do tomorrow, right? I can be a spectator or a tourist in Cannes quietly. ”
Zhou Kang said very easily: "You can go shopping tomorrow, don't drop the chain tonight." Yida Pictures feels that "Ghost Blows the Lantern" has a great future overseas, on the one hand, to sell overseas copyrights, and on the other hand, to create news here and send it back to China. ”
"I know that there is a poster of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in today's house magazine, and the front and back covers of this magazine are not expensive, and the first issue is only more than 100,000 or 200,000 euros, and they can afford it. ”
Although only one Chinese-language film was shortlisted for the main competition unit, the sense of presence of Chinese is not weak.
Mandarin can be heard everywhere reminds everyone, don't forget, China is the second largest movie box office in the world!
Cannes has made a remarkable contribution in the introduction of new directors, but it is not a mecca for arthouse films, but a high-class Vanity Fair.
It is not a utopia for art films, but a place for selling art.
Now Zhang Chu is going to help his works after he is dressed neatly.
is different from the marginal position at the premiere of "Farewell My Concubine" today, the publicity of "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is on his shoulders, who makes him the most well-known person overseas in the crew!
