Chapter 133: The Great Wall Premiere (Sixth Update)
.γ
I don't think most people will doubt this, from special effects to actors' fees, even if Matt Cute and other Hollywood celebrities discount Zhang Yimou's face-saving salary, the special effects cost will never be saved.
In fact, at the beginning of the project, the director considered by Legendary Pictures was not Zhang Yimou, but Shen Lin.
Of course, we must have rejected the invitation of Legendary Pictures.
He knew that whoever made such a movie would be a bad movie, and the script was very problematic, and the so-called Chinese elements had nothing to do with anything other than the most iconic building, the Great Wall.
I don't understand why such a movie is called at all, except because Legendary Pictures wants to make money from Chinese audiences, there is no other reason!
Zhang Yimou accepted the olive branch thrown by Legendary Pictures, and he explained to the outside world: "If the global box office can meet the standard, Hollywood will launch many such projects." At that time, one Zhang Yimou will definitely not be enough, so there will be younger Chinese directors and more Chinese actors on this stage, and more diverse Chinese cultural information will appear in various types of films. βγ
Unclear.
It is estimated that Lao Zhang never imagined that taking over the shooting would become the biggest stain on his career!
has been released for 19 days, and it can still maintain the terrifying speed of 80 million at the box office in a single day.
Many industry analysts believe that if it is not released, the box office is likely to create a new domestic box office miracle.
Of course, the global box office has exceeded a billion dollars!
Many professionals believe that it will definitely create a box office record for director Zhang Yimou.
This is a must, if you want to recover the cost, the domestic box office must reach more than 2 billion.
On the day of the premiere, 53% of the film schedule was given, and the film schedule was directly squeezed from the previous 40% to only 18%.
Wanda attaches great importance to this as an important part of their globalization strategy, and it is also the first real Sino-American co-production blockbuster after they became the owner of Legendary Pictures.
β¦β¦
Beijing, Wanda International Cinema.
The premiere scene.
Needless to say, Lao Mouzi's movies have definitely a lot of stars.
In addition, the producer has a strong background, and half of the people in the entertainment industry are here!
Shen Lin held Zhao Liying, and the two of them had the most polite smiles on their faces, looking at the media outside the red carpet.
"It's so grand, it's like a film festival!"
"I didn't expect there to be so many reporters, what do you think of my makeup?"
The young couple whispered as they walked to the media interview areaβthere really is a media interview area.
"Of course, I hope it will be a big hit at the box office!"
"I haven't seen it yet, so it's not easy to evaluate for the time being, but I'm still very convinced of Zhang Yimou's ability to direct, and I believe it will bring the audience a good visual experience. β
"It's been almost a month since it was released, and there are still close to 20% of the film schedule, I really appreciate the support of the audience, in fact, the global box office of this film has exceeded 1.1 billion US dollars, and we have successfully completed all our scheduled tasks before the start of filming. β
At the end of the fixed interview, Shen Lin stood aside and waited for Zhao Liying's interview to be completed.
Seriously, although Xiao Zhao has no big-screen works this year, there is quite a feeling of 'sister is not in the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes are still full of legends of sister', and many fans, including the media, are looking forward to Zhao Liying.
There is no way, there are few eye-catching works on the big screen and small screen this year, and Xiao Xianrou has become a guarantee of bad movies.
Several actresses of the same age as Li Ying, including Yang Mi, Liu Sisi and the like, the audience is becoming more and more dissatisfied with them, there is no harm if there is no comparison, although Zhao Liying still has a lot of black fans, but compared to these few, her works are convincing in terms of quality and completion.
But she rarely participates in any activities or anything like that, and spends most of her free time at home.
It's so easy to catch, of course, all kinds of interviews.
"Well, I'm still filming, there's no way, the contract has been signed, and I can't break my promise. β
"Movies? I don't have any plans to make a movie yet. β
"I've received quite a few scripts, but I'm really planning to take a two-year break. β
"No, it's our company's own investment, how can I give myself such a high salary! I think Yang Ying can get such a high salary, it must be because the audience likes her, and the TV station is willing to buy TV series starring her, however, I still doubt the data you said, and when I am free, I will ask her in person." β
Finally finished the interview.
"I'll go, Yang Ying took 80 million for a play?"
After following Shen Lin for a long time, Li Ying was unconsciously infected with a lot of bad habits, such as swearing!
ββ¦ You can text and ask yourself, even if you don't have 80 million estimates, it's not much worse. β
Shen Lin roughly calculated.
In recent years, with the large-scale entry of capital into the entertainment industry, it has not only brought considerable funds to the production of film and television dramas, but also provided capital for the improvement of the value of artists.
For the simplest example, Hu Ge's price for a drama has reached 25 million, and the price for a TV series is 80 million!
Supposedly, the price is already very high, and there are still a bunch of projects rushing to it.
Even the latest TV series filmed by Tan Songyun is priced at 10 million!
"No wonder there are always people who scold us for misleading the country!"
Zhao Liying sighed slightly.
"Don't pretend to be forced, take a look at the interview with director Yimou. β
Shen Lin and Zhao Liying sat in the middle near the right side, and there were no familiar artist friends next to them, and before the movie started, they could only listen to the host's interview.
"I am very happy to be involved in the work of director Zhang Yimou, when I was a child, I already knew director Zhang Yimou. β
Matt is cute and all kinds of touting Zhang Yimou.
Of course, Zhang Yimou is really awesome in the hearts of the actors in North America, Matt is cute and once won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, so he is definitely not a scene for the script, except for Zhang Yimou, I can't figure out that there will be other reasons!
As Ang Lee said, 'Hollywood movies have their fixed patterns, while Chinese films and Chinese directors are different and more dynamic, and I believe that the future of cinema should be in China.' β
It's a pity that Matt's cute and cute want to join a realistic movie with Zhang Yimou's style, instead of cutting a braided head and repeating the work in the Hollywood mode!
It's no wonder that his good friend Ji Mao would joke about Matt's cuteness in public at the 89th Oscars.
's actor Cassie Affleck won Matt's most coveted Oscar for Best Actor!
In 2015, Matt Damon invited director Kenneth Lonergan to write a script, and planned to shoot it as a producer himself, and direct and act in it. Later, after careful consideration, he decided to hand over the film to Kenneth Lonergan and invited his friend Cassie Affleck to star in the film, leaving him only as producer.
This thoughtfulness is all about!
