Chapter 303: How many billions to break
and Lei Jun talked a lot about the Internet and other things, although Zhang Tan is not an IT person, but because of the rapid development of Weibo, his speech also has a certain weight.
Lei Jun is already preparing to leave Jinshan Company, intends to adjust for a period of time, and then investigate some investment projects, and is likely to set up a venture capital company, and agree that when the company is established, he will partner with Zhang Tan.
This matter is omitted.
said that Zhang Tan caused a shock in the film circle because of his fiery performance during the National Day of "Crazy Stone", and no one and the media were attracted to him. This caused him to not dare to turn on his mobile phone indiscriminately, and he was secretly photographed by the paparazzi from time to time.
I went to the West Hill Villa to enjoy the quiet.
Recently, there is more and more Olympic atmosphere in Beiya, and the whole city is in various activities to emphasize civilization and build a new style, and in order to welcome next year's Olympic Games, the streets and alleys are all whitewashed. News slogans promoting the Olympics can be seen everywhere, as well as the image of Fuwa, which is also ubiquitous.
In Zhang Tan's house, there are several Fuwa's puppets, all of which Susa took home.
When Susa went to Nortel to take class, Zhang Tan spent a lot of quiet time alone, and slowly became a little unaccustomed. I don't want to write novels, I don't want to conceive movies, fishing, football, basking in the sun, too much and tired.
I was watching the news that day, and suddenly I saw a news, the Olympic Organizing Committee, is soliciting songs with the theme of the Olympic Games.
"Hey, it seems that a few years ago, the Olympic song preparation team sent me an invitation letter, and I was busy preparing "Crazy Stone". It seems that this matter is not taken care of. I asked Ma Weiwei. Zhang Tanjing was extremely thoughtful and immediately called Ma Weiwei. Ask about it.
Ma Weiwei remembers very clearly: "The Olympic Song Preparatory Team did invite you, the boss. ”
Zhang Tan's name as a singer. is also well-known in the music industry, and his talent in lyrics and composition has been affirmed by industry insiders, and music talent shows such as "Happy Girl" have invited him to serve as a judge. In order to solicit Olympic songs, the Olympic Organizing Committee naturally contacted Zhang Tan.
In fact, well-known musicians from the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have all been contacted by the song preparation team.
Zhang Tan had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said, "Weiwei." You go and contact the preparatory team to see if you need to call for songs. ”
"Okay."
Ma Weiwei has been working beside Zhang Tan for a long time, knows Zhang Tan's temper, and belongs to the action school that does what comes to mind, and over time, she has also developed a high efficiency in doing things, and it doesn't take an hour to contact the preparatory team.
Come back and report: "Boss, I contacted the preparatory team. They are still calling for songs, which will not end until April next year. Team Leader Liu of the preparatory team, I heard that you are interested in writing songs for the Olympic Games and want to talk to you on the phone in person. ”
"Good. Dial. Zhang Tan nodded, he did have the idea of writing songs.
Being idle is also idle, it's better to find something to do.
The phone is connected. Team Leader Liu's voice came: "Hello Director Tan, I'm Liu Yanwu." I have long known your name as a singer. ”
"You're welcome, just play with it."
"I listen to your assistant. Are you interested in writing a song for the Olympics? We have successfully held three Olympic song calls, and received hundreds of very high-spirited Olympic songs, but the organizing team still did not select the most satisfactory songs. We are now holding the fourth Olympic Song Campaign, and you are very welcome to contribute. ”
"I understand, let me think about it first, and then contact your preparatory team when I have a clue."
"Wait for the good news."
Hanging up the phone, Zhang Tan touched the sparse stubble on his chin.
In my memory of the Beijing Olympics in my last life, the theme song is "Me and You" sung by Liu Huan and British singer Sarah Brightman, this song Zhang Tan doesn't like to listen to, not that it is not good, nor that the lyrics are not well written. In fact, the peaceful mood expressed in this song is still very good, and it can be seen that it can be selected as the theme song.
But Zhang Tan doesn't like it, he always feels that the Olympics is such a dynamic event, and it is a bit discordant to make a lyrical song as the theme song.
In addition to "Me and You", there is also the theme song of the 100-day countdown to the Olympic Games "Welcome to Beiya", this song is catchy and has been popular for a while, but it may be that it was looped by this song every day at that time, and Zhang Tan rolled his eyes when he heard the song at the end.
Of all the Olympic collection songs, Zhang Tan's favorite is "Beyond Dreams", I feel that the lyrics are very high-spirited and the melody is also good.
It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time and couldn't be chosen.
"It just so happens that I have nothing to do now, so I just got these three songs out, the Olympics, such a big event, how can I not participate."
Thinking of this, Zhang Tan no longer hesitated, directly picked up the pen, and began to write lyrics and tunes.
……
Time is like flowing water.
Zhang Tan was busy composing the three songs "Welcome to You", "Me and You", and "Beyond Dreams", and he was happy.
And his movie "Crazy Stone" has never stopped going crazy.
A film critic said: ""Crazy Stone" has staged a phenomenon of national madness, and in 2007, Tan Zhang gave us another surprise from the movie in addition to the novel. Chinese movies that fell into darkness, because of this black humor comedy, finally broke through the clouds and saw a glimmer of light. ”
An audience member said: "I like this movie so much, it's so cool, I never read martial arts novels before, and I don't think Tan Zhang is so powerful." Now my idol is Tan Zhang, and I watched "Crazy Stone" three times in the cinema. I love black skin, it's so funny. ”
A colleague in the director's circle also said: "Stone has a kind of style, at first glance it is very suitable for life, labeled as a small person, but its shooting techniques and editing techniques are unusual, I think this is a new narrative style, Tan Zhang makes the film very smart, this should be a rare cult film in China." ”
There may be Hollywood blockbuster lovers who are not convinced, thinking that the stone is not tall enough, or there may be literary film lovers who are not convinced, thinking that the connotation is too low-level.
But under the rave reviews, as well as the hot box office, there is nothing to say.
"Crazy Stone", the biggest dark horse of 2007, is full of color and impeccable.
After winning 28.5 million box office in the first three days of the first weekend, the second week of Golden Week once again won 85.1 million box office. From October 8 to 14, the third week of the film's release, the end of the holidays, and most people started going to work, "Crazy Stone" fell big at the box office, but still achieved a super figure of 35.7 million.
This is the off-season of the film market, and in previous years, the box office in October and September was about the same. If it weren't for the rescue of the stone, the box office in September this year would not exceed 30 million, and the volume in October would be 30 million at most. As a result, there are now stones, and the second week of bidding farewell to the National Day still contributed more than 35 million box office.
It's against the sky.
""Crazy Stone" has been crazy to the point that no one can stop it, and after 17 days of release, it has hit a box office of 149.3 million yuan, which is about to surpass the 150 million of "Spider-Man 3" and become the second place in the box office list of Chinese films this year, ranking below "Transforming into an Autobot", leading domestic films."
The leading actor Guo Shuishou said in an interview: "I didn't expect the movie to buy so much money, when Director Tan came to me, I was sure that it would be a very good movie, but I really didn't expect it to be so good." ”
"My whole body seems to be floating now, thank you so much to the director, when the director called me to audition, my legs trembled...... When the director is filming, the requirements are very strict, and one shot may need to be repeated for twenty or thirty ...... It's tiring, it's all worth it, isn't it. "The black-skinned actor Fu Cheng enjoyed the feeling of fame.
Although Zhang Tan did not show up, he could not refrain from the telephone interview, and still accepted an interview with Southern Weekly.
I talked about my current feelings in detail.
"The box office of the movie is so high, first of all, I would like to thank the audience for their support, and thank you to the book friends who have always supported me. I had a lot of confidence before I made it, because I thought I did a good job with this film, and now I am surprised that the box office is going to be so crazy...... In short, it is very gratifying to be recognized by everyone. ”
A reporter from Southern Weekly finally asked Zhang Tan if he had anything to say about his next work.
Zhang Tan replied: "The next movie, there are plans, but I haven't figured out how to shoot it in a short time, I have too many ideas, I don't know which one to pick first, let's wait first." ”
In the midst of all these disturbances, the heat of the stone has reached a terrifying height, not only did not decline, but swelled even more.
From October 15th to 21st, "Crazy Stone", which was released for 24 days, stopped the sharp decline in the box office in the fourth week because of the farewell holiday, with a weekly decline of less than 35.6%, and continued the crazy momentum with 23 million yuan.
So far, the total box office has reached 172.3 million yuan.
Faced with this number, everyone felt incredible: "Does the stone want to hit the box office of 200 million?" ”
Since China's accession to the WTO, the commercialization route of films has begun, and the fifth-generation director's "Jing Ke Assassination of Qin" has announced the advent of the blockbuster era with a box office of 250 million. However, since ancient times, only four Chinese films have exceeded the 200 million mark at the box office.
The first was the Hollywood blockbuster "Titanic" in 98, which achieved a miracle figure of 360 million. followed by the 250 million box office of the blockbuster "Jing Ke Assassination Qin", followed by last year's blockbuster "The City Full of Silver Armor" with 291 million, and the last one is this year's Hollywood imported blockbuster "Transforming into an Autobot", which got 282 million.
"Stone is expected to hit the box office of 200 million and become the most profitable film in China, with a cost of 5 million (production cost) and a box office of 200 million, a full 40 times more!"
Below Zhang Tan's Weibo, there is a comment of worship.
"Tan Dada, I'm completely convinced, you are really synonymous with miracles!"
"For the detective's 200 million box office, I will go to the cinema to brush up again."
"Support the detective to step on the domestic film industry and trample all those garbage directors to death."
"I love stones!"
"The detective is mighty, and he can overturn all kinds of blockbusters at a small cost." (To be continued.) )
