Chapter 328: Inferior and Efficient Means

PS: The chapter name is wrong, but the chapter can be read normally, the pace is a little faster, and it is being adjusted.

——

Xu Zheng looked at Chen Tian's eyes and felt a little weird.

"Is there anything dirty on my face?" Xu Zheng touched his face, this inadvertent moment showed his humor in film and television dramas, and Chen Tian laughed directly.

"No, it's not!" Chen Tian shook his head with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be a TV drama actor and very famous." ”

Chen Xin interjected: "Yes, he is very famous, I like "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie" and "Li Wei as an Official", "Love Through Time and Space". ”

"Thank you!" Xu Zheng didn't expect to be recognized, and responded politely.

"Do you want to be a director?" Chen Tian asked, even though he knew that he would become a director in the future, "so you want to know what the film should serve?"

"I'm not afraid of jokes, I do want to try directing, although I also like acting myself, but I think sometimes actors still have limitations, and they may not be able to express what they want to express, after all, the director is the biggest one in the theater.

I want to tell a good story better, so I want to be a director, and I'm trying at the moment, but it's just a TV series. Xu Zheng said seriously.

The past two years have been his busiest year, and he has taken on ten film and television dramas, seven of which he starred in.

"Li Wei as an Official 2" is the first TV series directed by himself in his acting career, and it is also the beginning of his directing career.

But he has always dreamed of becoming a film actor and director, so today I learned that Chen Tian was holding a symposium at Beiying. He deliberately ran over from the crew.

"Actually, the film needs to be divided into situations. But I think the first moment is to serve the market.

Normally, the quality of a film that is recognized by the market will not be too bad. Although it may not be awarded an award, just like a comedy.

It's almost impossible to win awards with comedies, but comedies have market appeal.

If it is only for the purpose of serving the award, then the quality of the film is likely to cater too much to the taste of the award, which will make the so-called quality taste bad, and eventually not only lose the market but also may lose the credibility of the accumulation.

As soon as the audience hears the director's name, they will subconsciously refuse.

On the contrary, audiences will be willing to go to the theater to support the film at the beginning of its release. That's the difference, and of course not all award-winning films don't have box office.

However, I think for the current Huaxia film market, serving the market is the first place. ”

Xu Zheng nodded, just like the "Li Wei as an Official 2" he was filming at the moment, his first consideration was to serve the market.

On this basis, he has not given up the requirements for quality, but will make some adjustments for the market accordingly.

Chen Tian and Xu Zheng stood in the center of the venue talking, while the others stood aside and waited.

Compared to the two people who talked about each other, the others seemed a little boring.

"It seems that Justin is very optimistic about this Xu. Eric Lomis and Harvey Weinstein said.

"He's a Chinese star, isn't he?" asked Harvey Weinstein softly.

Zhang Jiani nodded: "Yes, a very good TV series star." The TV series he starred in has a guaranteed ratings. ”

"Just now he was asking Justin about the movie, as if he was interested in directing the camera. Eric Lomis shrugged.

"Perhaps. Justin has an idea!" said Harvey Weinstein, looking at Chen Tian.

And he almost completely guessed Chen Tian's intentions, Chen Tian planned to recruit Xu Zheng, the future appeal of the Huaxia Film Market, to his banner after Miramax and China Film established Huaxia Miramax Film Company.

However, the reason why Chen Tianzhao him is not only because of the box office excellence of his films, but also because he works hard to make movies, which is difficult to see in many directors, but Xu Zheng has always maintained it.

"I hope to have a chance to chat with you next time, this is my phone, I think I will do my best to help you fulfill your wishes. Chen Tian stretched out his hand, and Xu Zheng immediately shook it.

"I'll work hard!" Xu Zheng said solemnly, he didn't expect Chen Tian to be so refreshing, but he also knew that Chen Tian would not help casually just because of the approval of his idea.

Looking at the departing Xu Zheng, Chen Tian smiled very happily.

For the Chinese market, he couldn't just use Miramax's films.

After all, the Huaxia film market has its own rules, and it is impossible for him to break him lightly and let his films occupy all the schedules for a year and twelve months.

Then Huaxia films have become particularly important, and this is also the most important purpose of establishing a cooperative film company in addition to building theaters.

The film is the most profitable source, and the future of the Chinese market is excellent, and Chen Tian does not plan to let it go.

The new company cooperating with China Film, Chen Tian hopes that he will become the best film company in Huaxia, and talent is indispensable.

Xu Zheng, who was lucky enough to meet, was one of the things he wanted to close.

After saying goodbye to Ivanka Trump, who was negotiating cooperation with Wanda in Huaxia, Chen Tian got on the plane back to the United States alone.

Eric Lomis and Harvey Weinstein led the team to fully engage in negotiations with China Film, hoping to finalize the cooperation agreement as soon as possible, and then start building cinemas and film companies in China as soon as possible.

"Raid" also ushered in a week of release in China, ushered in the seven-day holiday of China's National Day, and in the previous six days, the cumulative box office of "Raid" in China has reached 55.41 million.

This result has reached the fifth place in 2004, and "New Police Story" has also reached an excellent box office line of 30.14 million.

The Hollywood film "King Arthur", which was released at the same time as "The Raid", got 14.45 million, and the main theme film "Zhang Side" got 21.13 million.

The popularity of the film market has become hotter with the advent of the National Day and the arrival of "Harry Potter 3: Prisoner of Azkaban", "2046" starring Wong Kar-wai's new film Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Zhang Ziyi, and another main theme film "Zheng Peimin".

Filmmakers are looking forward to the arrival of this National Day, and there was no National Day schedule in the years before this.

However, it was also from this year that more Chinese filmmakers realized the power of the National Day schedule. It also officially has the name of the National Day file.

"Raid" defeated the newly released "Harry Potter 3", "2046", and "Zheng Peimin" several heavyweight new films under the encirclement of the film.

With an excellent single-day box office of 7.52 million on September 30, it continued to win the single-day box office championship. At the same time, it successfully entered the threshold of 60 million box office.

And the seven-day holiday makes "The Raid" even more popular. From October 1st to 7th, the box office of "The Raid" did not fall below six million in a single day for seven full days.

From the 1st to the 3rd, the box office of "Raid" exceeded 10 million again for three consecutive days, successfully breaking the 100 million mark of "Raid" in China.

And from the 4th to the 7th, the single-day box office of "Raid" did not fall below six million.

During the entire seven-day National Day, "Raid" frantically got a score of 68.77 million.

Just the result of the seven days of the National Day, "Raid" ranked fifth at the Chinese box office this year.

The cumulative box office of "Raid" reached 127 million yuan, successfully squeezing the 122 million box office "No Thieves in the World" directed by director Feng Xiaogang behind him to the second place of the year. And the first place is the 156 million of director Zhang Yimou's new work "Ambush on All Sides".

However, the market is not only hot with "Raid", but also with the popularity of "Raid", "Harry Potter 3" also achieved a box office result of 42 million in seven days during the National Day schedule.

"New Police Story" also relied on 34.42 million in seven days, raising the total box office to a height of 57 million.

Coupled with the 17.28 million of "2046", the entire National Day schedule reached a crazy height of 170 million under the leadership of the four main forces.

As for Huaxia Film Market to get such a result, in fact, it only relied on "Painted Skin" to reach such a number in 2008 with 112 million in seven days, not to mention that the number of screens between the two is almost 1,500.

Almost all the media focused on the blowout of the film market, and the entire China Film was praised by the leaders, which strengthened the idea of Han Sanping and Chen Tian to cooperate.

"The Raid" also achieved the third best box office in Hong Kong with 27.33 million yuan, plus the Japanese market with $30 million, and the Southeast Asian market with a total of nearly $10 million.

"The Raid" boosted its global box office performance to $572 million. Breaking through 500 million has shocked the whole of Hollywood, but "The Raid" has no intention of stopping.

The third and fourth episodes of "Prison Break", which also aired in the second week. The number of viewers was 28.45 million, which set a new Monday ratings record for the second episode of the first week.

"Prison Break" has become a hot topic after dinner for North American audiences, and if you don't know, "Prison Break" seems to be outdated, even if "Prison Break" has only been on for four episodes.

The mini-game invitation code after each episode of "Prison Break" has driven the continued popularity of the Facebook game "Prison Break", which indirectly led to the growth of Facebook registrations.

Facebook, "Raid", and "Prison Break", the three make Chen Tian appear again and again in people's daily life topics.

"I wouldn't disagree if I could, but for now I just want to focus entirely on the upcoming League of Assassins, and there are ten days left, and that's what matters to me. Chen Tian looked at Green Brown in front of him and said seriously.

NBC has been looking for him since the end of the first day of broadcasting, hoping to complete the renewal of the second season of "Prison Break" as soon as possible.

Similarly, several other TV stations have also tried to get Chen Tian to hand over the broadcast rights of the second season of "Prison Break" to them, and they are all willing to pay a lot of money.

But Chen Tian just wants to devote his energy to the upcoming filming of "League of Assassins", and now that the crew is about to be formed, he is waiting for Chen Tian's departure order.

"Justin, I know, I know you're busy, but...... The newspaper news told us that HBO and even FOX ......"

Chen Tian directly interrupted Green Brown's words: "Hey, Brown, you should know who I am.

I'm not going to be a casual person, NBC gave me a chance, as long as it wasn't too much, I don't think I would disagree.

Now I actually want to focus on League of Assassins, and you know how big it is. ”

Green Brown was a little depressed, he hoped that Chen Tian would agree today, but he was depressed and chose to believe what Chen Tian said.

At least NBC has more priority than other platforms, and that's a good answer he gets.

"I understand, but you said a show before?" Greene Brown pretended to be casual reminding that in fact, Chen Tian had rejected NBC's idea of inviting him to start a new talk show last time, but when he refused, Chen Tian proposed to start a celebrity reality show.

"yes, I think I need NBC's help, I can't handle that many complicated tasks on my own.

I'm happy to be working with NBC if you'd like, but I've already figured out where the show will be filmed, right in Venice, the first stop of League of Assassins' filming. ”

Chen Tian had previously considered the filming plan for the American version of Running Man, and it turned out that he planned to spend half a month filming Running Man before "League of Assassins".

But now he has changed his plans and put the Running Man shooting plan in the middle of the League of Assassins.

The filming location was also set in one of the main locations of the League of Assassins, the world-famous Venetian Water City.

In this way, although the entire production cycle of "League of Assassins" has been extended because of Running Man, it can also reduce some of the cost of production of Running Man.

At the same time, he can also use the props of the "League of Assassins" crew to make a special "League of Assassins" show, which has the same effect as when he proposed the Batman special to Christopher Nolan.

Coupled with Venice, a floating city that is attractive to people from all over the world, as long as the running man is good, then it can form a strong publicity effect for "League of Assassins".

And the tidbits during the filming of "League of Assassins", coupled with their own publicity, are easy to form a topic, which is particularly important for a film.

Similarly, "League of Assassins" has already received media attention, and filming the first episode of Running Man during the filming of Assassins League will undoubtedly increase the exposure of Running Man, thus adding fuel to the good ratings.

In this way, Running Man and "League of Assassins" became complementary to each other, and also strengthened Chen Tian's sudden idea.

"Justin Meets Portman," this is a news headline for TMZ.

Chen Tian flew to Boston to meet Natalie Portman, and then flew back to Los Angeles.

Chen Tian went to Boston to bring Natalie Portman to fly to Venice for the filming of the first season of Running Man.

TMZ's gossip report was exactly what Chen Tian wanted, and Natalie Portman flew from Boston to Los Angeles to meet Chen Tian again.

"Look, they're secretly dating, and they're talking so affectionately!"

The paparazzi hiding in the shadows looked at Chen Tian and Natalie Portman in the café opposite with great excitement, and both of them were in simple disguise at the moment.

"Natalie, isn't this bad for you, make others think you're a ......" Chen Tian glanced out the window, and it was Chen Tian's plan to let the paparazzi shoot.

For the first wave of publicity about Running Man and the League of Assassins, although this method of relying on scandal to gain attention seems low, it is undeniably an excellent and cost-effective way to promote it.

Natalie Portman pouted: "You don't have to say I know it all, but I know I don't, that's enough."

I just want to see the show you talked about now, and if it's not fun, I'm going to kill you. ”

Natalie Portman shook her fist at Chen Tian, and this moment made Chen Tian feel for a moment that this qiē was not fake. (To be continued......)
