Chapter 818: Wife, Are You the Reincarnation of Tang Seng?
(The new week is here again, thank you for your support all the way! Thank you! Today as usual three watches, one more ask for tickets, please book!)
Xiao Han Bang Country?
Wu Cheng was stunned, and finally shook his head. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Speaking of Stick Country, what impressed Wu Cheng the most was not the movie star, but their plastic surgery career. In later generations, when you hear the word 'plastic surgery', it is estimated that the first noun that comes to everyone's mind should be 'stick country'!
Even many netizens in later generations are saying that those stars in the country of sticks are actually printed in a mold, and no matter how you look at it, they feel a bit similar.
Why? Because the plastic surgery industry is developed!
Wu Cheng himself is somewhat face blind to the stars of the stick country, and many times he is stupid and can't tell which one is which, and even the nine actresses in the 'Long Legs Era', except for one of them, he can't tell who is who, let alone other stick stars.
What really impressed him was probably Jun Ji-han, who played "Savage Girlfriend", and Kim Hee-sang, who played Seung-ryong's version of "Myth". Well, you can also add the Lin Yun'er in the 'Long Legs Era', because she laughs very distinctively, and people give her the nickname 'Crocodile Yun'.
The reason for this, in addition to not liking to watch stick movies, is more because of being disgusted by the stick country!
Because the country of sticks likes to take other people's things as their own, some netizens in later generations jokingly said, "The fishing bird is from China, *** is from the world, but the whole universe is from the stick."
It can be seen how much the stick likes to take other people's things for himself.
What Dragon Boat Festival is theirs, Qu Yuan's ancestors are also theirs, and surgery is also invented by them...... There are a lot, and it can be seen that Wu Cheng's impression of the stick country is really not good.
Yes, I hate the house and Wuxia, and I don't like the movies and TV series of the stick country or something. Because of this, the face blindness of the stick star is becoming more and more incurable.
However, although he doesn't like the country of sticks, he is not against making money from sticks.
It's just that Wu Cheng thinks about it, there are really not half of the stars in the stick country in this period who are more familiar to him in his memory!
If he goes to Hijima, he can also meet the future Hijima National Treasure diva Nakajima Meixue or something. At this time, Umeiyuki Nakajima is going uphill, but it hasn't really become popular yet. The song "Walking on the Road of Life" that Wu Cheng 'copied' and gave to Deng Lijun is actually a song made by Meixue Nakajima in the 80s, but the words have been changed.
But now, Wu Cheng doesn't need to go to Ridao.
"Here in Southeast Asia, there is no need for such trouble. With my current fame, even if those actors are not very famous, in Southeast Asia, as long as the director's line has my name on it, I believe there will be countless studios who want to compete for our copy. Wu Cheng thought about it and said.
When he said this, Wu Cheng was very confident.
When Susan heard this, she couldn't help but glance at him, feeling that this guy was a little arrogant.
But think about it, every time the movie he makes is promoted, those filmmakers come to Donglong International to copy the eagerness, Susan is also speechless. This is the fame that Wu Cheng has accumulated over the years, and among all the directors in Xiangjiang, there is no one who can beat Wu Cheng in this regard.
Because his film is the guarantee of the box office.
But soon, Wu Cheng said a little helplessly: "What really wants to run is those places in Europe and the United States." Those foreigners won't be crazy because of my name, especially this time it's a martial arts film in a Chinese movie, and the sense of substitution is congenitally poor. ”
"Okay, get rid of Southeast Asia, North America ......"
"It's good that DreamWorks decides on the North American side, and they're in charge of the publicity there. Wu Cheng directly interrupted her words, and as a result, she was greeted with the roll of her eyes again.
"I know, but I've been on the phone with Lansing, and she told me to talk to you. ”
"Uh, that's okay, you go on!" Wu Cheng said as he shrugged his shoulders as he breathed out smoke.
"In North America, we have our own TV station, so it is necessary to go to our own TV station, and another is a talk show on ABC TV. After all, the coverage of our own Oriental TV station is not so large......"
"In addition, on the European side, Britain is a must-go, and in addition to the United Kingdom, the second country is France......"
While listening to Susan's arrangement, Wu Cheng rummaged through the memory tree in his mind about the overseas box office situation of the movie "Shaolin Temple".
Speaking of which, Wu Cheng has not seen much information about this movie at the global box office. He only knew that in the original time and space, the box office of this movie in the three countries of Ridao, Bangzi Country, and Poland was the highest among all overseas box offices, and their combined box office was as high as 1560 million, in Chinese dollars, converted into Hong Kong dollars, that is, more than 400 million.
Although the production company may not even receive one-third of this figure, compared to its investment, it is definitely a typical case of making a lot of money.
And that's just three countries.
Now that he is replaced by Wu Chenglai, the situation must be different from the original time and space, not to mention anything else, just say that the distribution methods are different, and the Japanese island and the stick country have always been calculated by box office sharing, rather than buying out directly like many Xiangjiang films.
Moreover, the box office in North America, no matter how much it earns, after excluding taxes, can be said to be earned by Wu Cheng himself, because Lei Shidong's cinema line is now his, but the name of the legal person is just the name of Zhao Yazhi.
Therefore, even if other film companies are reluctant to join this film in the future, as long as there is a theater chain that covers almost the entire North America in hand, Wu Cheng is not worried about its box office problems.
No matter how bad it is, there will be no problem in recovering the production cost and publicity cost of the film.
As for how much box office this drama can really get in North America in the end, Wu Cheng is still looking forward to it.
Wu Cheng roughly estimated that combined with the situation of the original time and space, the drama "Shaolin Temple" should not be less than 300 million at the global box office, and the unit is US dollars. Of course, this is the most conservative estimate, after all, what will happen to the situation in North America, Wu Cheng has no bottom in his heart.
Judging from the previous Xiangjiang films, one or two million US dollars is considered a high box office.
Shenglong's "Plan A" is only a box office of more than 20 million US dollars here.
However, at that time, the Anji Cinema Line was still very small, and although Lei Shidong also helped, the strength would definitely not be as strong as the Cinema Line under his name.
In the original time and space, the drama "Shaolin Temple" had a box office of more than 100 million in the mainland, although it was the result of 'incomplete' statistics. During this period, the ratio of Huayuan to the US dollar is still quite large, and about one piece of Huayuan or two dollars can be exchanged for one dollar.
In proportion, the mainland box office alone is nearly 70 or 80 million US dollars, and the global box office of this drama should be about 200 million US dollars in the original time and space of other overseas countries combined. Of course, Wu Cheng has no way of knowing what the specific value is, but judging from the summary of the information in his mind, the specific value must be larger than this number.
Now that he is going to shoot, coupled with his own international popularity, as well as stronger publicity, and the big box office in North America, if he can't come up with an extra $100 million, he is embarrassed to say it and meet people!
Therefore, this time, for the sake of the box office, he will think about standing up and promoting himself.
In the past, when he was filming, publicity seemed to have never been his business, and after filming, he would throw it aside, and the post-production would be handed over to others, and the publicity work would be handed over to others...... It doesn't matter what happens, it's okay to shake off the shopkeeper, and I have forgotten what my main job is.
"Hey, are you listening to me?"
Just as Wu Cheng was secretly thinking about these things, Susan's embarrassed voice came from his ears.
"I'm listening to it, I'm listening, how dare I not listen to the words of the leader!" Wu Cheng opened the car window with a smile, flicked the cigarette butt out, closed the car window again, and said: "I try my best to cooperate with the propaganda activities, and I have high hopes for the play "Shaolin Temple"! How can I not listen to it!"
Susan glared at him and said to him with a serious face: "How can you just just pop a cigarette butt out of the window at will? It's not environmentally friendly at all! If this kind of thing is seen by those reporters, it has to be blacked out! And what if it hits someone?"
"Uhhh ”
"I don't think your lazy attitude has any intention ......of repenting!
"Wife, are you a Tang monk?" Wu Cheng stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, crying.
"What do you mean?"
"I always recite the hoop mantra to Brother Monkey!"
"Hmph! Ignore you! Good intentions are not rewarded!"
Susan turned around angrily, Wu Cheng saw that she was angry, couldn't help but smile bitterly, reached out to wrap his hand around her waist, hugged her into his arms, and said, "Okay, okay, I'm not annoying you, but I think we shouldn't waste our personal time on work." Work is something that can't be done, and reasonable time arrangement is something we need to learn. ”
"I think you're just trying to be lazy!" she snorted, of course, with a larger component.
Even if there is any anger in his heart, when Wu Cheng says this, most of his anger has disappeared. After all, Wu Cheng is also for everyone to have more personal time, which is a good thing, isn't it!
"Yes, yes, I just want to be lazy, think about it, if I don't be lazy, so many companies, can I manage it?
Wu Cheng followed her words and said: "Moreover, if you are not lazy, you will have to blame me for not taking time to accompany you then." If you really like to talk about work in private, then I'll talk about work when I'm with you in the future, what do you think?"
"Die!"
"Haha......" (To be continued.) )
