Chapter 374: The Studio's Joke
July passes, and August arrives. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The second film market also ushered in the summary of January, in the past month, "Fatal Cut" was the most watched work, and this film did not disappoint, and finally became the box office champion of the month with a box office of 33 million.
Such a result did not surprise many people, but also made many people feel a little unexpected.
is expected because this is Zhang Yang's sixth film work, and according to Zhang Yang's previous works, success is inevitable, and it would be a real surprise if it failed.
And the box office since the release of the film has also proved that Zhang Yang's works have indeed not failed, and the box office has taken the lead since the next day.
As for many people's surprise, they didn't expect Zhang Yang's first horror film to achieve such a huge success, and this work still refutes traditional horror films.
Overall, "Fatal Cut" has won praise from the vast majority of the media, and the film has provided a new subject for the entire horror film market.
Of course, there are also a small number of reporters who talk about the box office, thinking that the box office of 33 million is completely inconsistent with the identity of a billion-dollar director, which is scoffed at by the vast majority of people.
Yes, "Fatal Cut" does only have a box office of 33 million, which seems to be a huge gap compared to the box office of Zhang Yang's previous films, which are often hundreds of millions, but don't forget, this is a horror movie.
You must know that the horror film theme itself is more difficult to produce results than other theme movies, and this horror film theme is congenitally insufficient.
And in the entire history of horror films, the box office of 33 million is already the eleventh place, which is a record.
Therefore, the reports of a small number of reporters are not tenable at all, and they are just a laughing stock.
.......
After Zhang Yang dealt with the affairs of his hometown, such an argument had already been settled, and Zhang Yang, who returned to the imperial capital, soon entered the state of work.
"At the moment, the studio is well funded, as of ......."
In the conference room, Zhang Yang, Yang Zi, Li Qiang, Xu Gangqiang and other management and heavyweights in the studio listened attentively to Yang Zi's report.
As the studio grew and staffed, expansion was inevitable.
At present, in addition to the management, the number of in-service personnel in the screenwriting department, props department and other departments below has exceeded 50.
And Zhang Yang handed over these things to Yang Zi, so Yang Zi can now be regarded as the second person in addition to Zhang Yang.
That's the general situation of the studio at the moment. ’
Yang Zi ended the report with one sentence.
'How's the partnership with Brilliant Entertainment going?' ’
To say that the only shortcoming of Zhang Yang's studio may be the number of directors, there are only two at present, Zhang Yang and Xu Gangqiang.
And Xu Gangqiang was busy with the filming of "Batman" some time ago.
The movie has been completed, is currently being edited, and the release has been arranged, and it is the responsibility of several companies in Longteng. ’
Xu Gangqiang hurriedly replied when he heard Zhang Yang's words.
There was an agreement in the contracts signed by several partner companies, that is, the first superhero movie of each company was jointly released by the theaters of several companies.
As a simple entertainment company, Brilliant Entertainment is just less divided.
"That's good, since the studio has abundant funds, then we have to let the funds flow, Director Xu, if you have any ideas, just mention it, and the studio will support you." ’
Money, only continuous circulation is money, not circulation is actually just a pile of waste paper, since Zhang Yang knows this truth, he will naturally not let the money go.
'Thank you boss, thank you! ’
Hearing Zhang Yang's words, Xu Gangqiang was a little excited.
Xu Gangqiang already had a lot of ideas as early as Phoenix Entertainment, but in large companies, many times individuals do not have much autonomy, such as when filming "Super Captain" in Phoenix Entertainment, the failed Xu Gangqiang was directly given up with a word.
I also have an idea, I plan to start filming a new drama right away, called "Happy Ghost"! ’
After Zhang Yang and Xu Gangqiang finished speaking, they told everyone their decision.
'Boss, are you going to make a ghost movie?' ’
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard Zhang Yang's words.
"Happy Ghost", from the name, is an absolute ghost movie, Halloween has passed, and now it is outdated to shoot ghost movies.
Yes, it's a ghost movie, but it's definitely not on the side of horror at all. ’
Movies, there are no absolutely bad movies.
The factors that really affect a movie are investment, publicity, and timing.
In the previous life, there was no shortage of good movies in Huaxia, but it was limited by these factors.
Many movies are limited by investment, and in the end, they can only continue to sable tails; and some good movies are not publicized enough to attract the attention of the public; In the end, the timing was not right.
The so-called timing is actually the environment in which it will be released.
For example, this is the case with the classic "Journey to the West" of the star master in the previous life, because the timing of the release was wrong, and the box office and word-of-mouth were criticized as a mess after the release.
But with the advent of the new century, with the advent of the Internet, this movie has become an eternal classic in the mainland.
"Boss, the horror movie month has passed, is it inappropriate for us to shoot ghost movies at this time?" ’
Although Zhang Yang, the boss and director, has created a lot of miracles, such a huge contrast still makes everyone's hearts beat drums, especially Xu Gangqiang, who is the director himself, has the most say in this.
It's summer vacation soon, and I'm sure this "Happy Ghost" will be a success. ’
Zhang Yang replied firmly.
Although this movie has a ghost word in the title, it is actually a youth comedy movie dressed in ghost movies.
And the most important thing is that this movie is really not scary at all, but it is hilarious, and it is definitely a good choice for summer release.
'Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, or let's make a bet, if the movie is successful, everyone will give me a dollar, and if the movie fails, everyone will double their salary next month.' ’
Zhang Yang naturally knew everyone's worries, but in fact, it was completely out of kindness.
After all, no one wants the place where they work to fail, and this is an existence that is closely related to their own interests.
Then we'll thank the boss. ’
Tang Jun, the manager of the personnel department, agreed with a smile.
'Me too!' ’
Even Yang Zi, the number two person in the studio, was involved.
We're not involved! ’
Among the people, the only ones who did not participate were Li Qiang and Zhao Ping.
In the past two days, he discussed and was responsible for writing the script with Zhang Yang, and the two of them could naturally see the quality of the script.
This ....... ’
Li Qiang and the two did not participate, but it suddenly made the hearts of everyone involved beat a drum, you must know that these two people are in charge of the script, and now the two are obviously very confident in this movie, did they guess wrong?
But after thinking about it, it's only a dollar if you lose, anyway, this gambling is mostly a joke, so it doesn't matter if you think about it.
