Chapter 430: David's Arrogance - The words are amazing

With the development of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, the company is quietly in transformation. Zhou Shaoming, who has already gained a firm foothold in the film industry, began to lead the company to develop on a larger scale.

If a film company wants to develop for a long time, it obviously needs a long, long time stage.

There is a greater need for one side industry after another.

Zhou Shaoming has been paying attention to this since he started to build supernova.

Whether it is about the acquisition of comic book companies, or about the establishment of Facebook, or about the development of American dramas such as "The Walking Dead", or about the implementation of North American film line and Chinese mainland film line plan.

These are all Zhou Shaoming's explorations and developments.

Today, Marvel has become an indispensable part of supernova, although it is not completely integrated, just as a subsidiary, but Marvel's role in promoting the development of supernova can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

Times are developing, technology is developing rapidly, and audiences' tastes for watching movies are also quietly changing.

Popcorn movies and visually charged action, sci-fi movies are becoming more and more popular.

It can be said that as long as the sci-fi blockbuster of the superhero series is filmed, it is a movie that makes a lot of money.

And fed up with Marvel is tantamount to monopolizing movies in this area, you can imagine the potential of supernova in sci-fi blockbusters in the future.

Moreover, the speed of Facebook's development is as amazing as Zhou Shaoming imagined, if not faster.

Facebook has long become a household name in the United States, where millions of people exchange topics, research, photos, contact information, and so on every day.

How many young men and women have asked for a single life because of the existence of Facebook, and how many small businesses have successfully become bigger and stronger after advertising on Facebook.

Of course, Facebook makes more money than many people think. The world's most trafficked website has a predictable effect on the publicity, so the advertising costs are even more staggering.

Small areas the size of a finger can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions, a month to hang an advertisement.

Last month, Facebook's average daily traffic reached one million.

Maybe the number of one million is not very large, but in 2004, the average daily traffic of 1 million was exaggerated to the extreme.

Last month, Facebook's net income reached 50 million, which is even more than all the other supernova industries combined!

This result shocked everyone, including Zhou Shaoming.

Jon was most excited, and the supernova's funds were a little unflowing. And Facebook's crazy money-making momentum in the past two months has made Jon so excited!

In Zhou Shaoming's mind, Facebook is just one of the steps, and as long as the funds are enough, Blizzard will try its best to acquire it.

In this way, Supernova has three trump cards: Marvel, Blizzard, and Facebook!

Supernova will definitely be able to compete with the Big Eight in a short period of time!

As long as he has enough funds, then Zhou Shaoming has confidence, as a traverser, and even more with a director system.

What Zhou Shaoming lacks most is the vision of people and the cognitive judgment of movies.

How many potential newcomers, directors and movies that can be popular in Zhou Shaoming's mind. However, sometimes you can't just shoot if you want to.

Funding is a key link!

The funds are not enough, only one or three or two films can be filmed in a time period, and if there are more, the capital turnover will not be opened!

Now Facebook is finally up and running. Zhou Shaoming's excitement is inevitable, is the supernova finally going to take off? Zhou Shaoming has been waiting for this day for a long time!

In the past, Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company focused on high-quality blockbusters, of course, because Zhou Shaoming had a genius directorial talent. Coupled with unremitting efforts and meticulous spirit in film shooting, Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company has always been one or two blockbusters a year for the audience.

Because of his dedication and seriousness to the movie. Zhou Shaoming's movies have always been recognized by the audience, and because of this, Zhou Shaoming's films are basically popular all over the world, not only earning enough attention from global audiences, but also box office results. Every year, Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company releases one or two movies alone, and the box office results have more than one billion revenues.

With the growth of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television, Zhou Shaoming began to lead the company to move towards a film and television giant company, and this year's Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company began to increase the number of films released.

In addition to "Untouchable", which began to be released in February and achieved a good reputation, "V Vendtta" filmed by David began to be released in March. Of course, in the later period of time, Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company will also release various films one after another.

Today's Supernova Entertainment Studios is no longer focused on only one or two commercial blockbusters released every year, but has begun to shoot a variety of films suitable for different audiences.

"Untouchable" was just the beginning of 2004, and "V for Vendetta" is a film that Supernova Entertainment Films has begun to gradually advance its corporate plan.

"V Vendtle" was filmed by such a young director as Director David, and in terms of the lineup of the film, it is the use of Hollywood's big-name comedy star Jim Carrey, which is a considerable test for David.

When "V Vendendtta" began to be released, Supernova Entertainment Films held a press conference to make the young director David of Supernova Entertainment Films and Televisions well-known.

This shows that Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company is watching and dares to use talented young directors. However, after all, David's film was not released, and at the press conference, more attention was paid to Zhou Shaoming.

Zhou Shaoming kept asking questions, "Director Smith Zhou, how do you feel about the fact that "Untouchable" has achieved good results after successfully entering the Chinese New Year schedule, but the film "V Vendtta" did not successfully pass the review? ”

Zhou Shaoming was stunned, when he filmed "Untouchable", he was trying to dare to celebrate the Chinese New Year in China, for the film "Untouchable". In China, the Chinese New Year schedule is still attracting attention. However, the film "V-Word Vendetta" still did not pass the review after all.

Zhou Shaoming sorted out his mood and said truthfully: "It's a pity, but we respect this decision, but with the development of our Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, the number of films released every year will gradually increase, and now the number of directors and actors signed by our company is increasing, I believe that even if one or two films cannot be released in the Chinese film market, it will not affect the development of our company too much." ”

At the press conference. When the reporter asked Jim Carrey how he commented on the young director David around him, Jim Carrey said truthfully that although David is young, he is a very good director, and he has unique ideas about the filming techniques, which makes him sometimes surprised. His sophisticated way of handling film shooting, obviously he can't believe that there is such a young director in front of him. Jim Carrey has a pretty high rating for David.

Facing the protagonist of this press conference, a reporter from Global News Network asked curiously: "Director David." Did you feel a lot of pressure when you first joined Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company and were assigned to shoot such a blockbuster? How did you handle it? What do you think of both Director Smith Chow and Jim Carrey who have high opinions of you? ”

David is still a little young. In the press release, in the face of the many reporters in front of him, it still seems a little restrained, but. When the reporter asked about the topic of his movie, he seemed to be free to let go, and said: "You can imagine it." I was under a lot of pressure when faced with such a movie, and I often wondered if I could make a good movie. But luckily, I met a good boss, Smith Chow, who is also a director like me, and under his guidance, I started to feel confident. The first problem we faced when making this film was the actors. ”

David said and couldn't help but smile: "Like Jim Carrey, who is already a big star in Hollywood, I was still thinking about whether he was willing to follow the shooting according to my own shooting methods and perform this film according to my wishes, but it may be that I thought too much." At the time of filming, Jim Carrey did not have the posture of a big star at all, and always accepted the command of me, a young director, very modestly. ”

Jim Carrey listened to David's words, hurriedly picked up the microphone and added: "In my heart, David is not a young director, but an excellent director. ”

The tacit understanding between the two couldn't help but make the reporters smile a little, because they were happy that the two could have such emotions after filming. However, the reporter still did not give up on David, and the Yahoo reporter couldn't help asking: "Mr. David, do you think this film will achieve the box office results you expected?" ”

David couldn't help but stand up and said: "Whether others believe it or not, I believe that this film must be the most worthwhile movie to watch and the box office performance must be a hit." Because my David's films will be recognized by the audience, and in the future in the film industry, my name will also be known to people and become one of the directors who guarantee box office results. ”

At this time, David's answer couldn't help but make the photographers in the audience excitedly take pictures of David. For a young director, he suddenly stood up and made a passionate speech, which couldn't help but make the reporters in the audience a little stunned.

Such a confident attitude is a sign of arrogance? Or will it really be like he himself said, and the answer will only be revealed after the release of "V for Vendetta".

Zhou Shaoming, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but clap his palms to encourage after hearing David's words. David's astonishing performance and Zhou Shaoming's supportive attitude immediately pushed the press conference to a climax.

The staff present at Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company all followed Zhou Shaoming's applause and supported David. And the photographer keeps recording the moment.

This video will meet the audience around the world, at this time "V Venddetta" has no way out, if this film loses at the box office to the film released at the same time, then, this video is definitely a nightmare for Zhou Shaoming, David and other supernova entertainment film and television company employees present.

Jim Carrey keeps shooting palms, although Jim Carrey is not an official member of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company now, but this "V-word Vendetta" is starring himself after all, and for a united company like Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, Jim Carrey is deeply infected.

In addition, Zhou Shaoming, the boss of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, is one of the gold medal directors in Hollywood, and the movies he directs are guaranteed to be absolutely box office, for actors, after shooting one or two movies with Zhou Shaoming. The performance skills will be greatly improved.

Jim Carrey has always cherished the opportunity to work with Supernova.

The previous "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" fulfilled Jim Carrey's Oscar dream, and Zhou Shaoming is like a Bole for him!

Although this time "V-word Vendetta" was not directed by Zhou Shaoming himself, Jim Carrey still shot the whole film with excitement.

There is no other reason, just because I believe in Zhou Shaoming, and I believe in his vision even more.

After the press conference, Zhou Shaoming got into his car, and Zhou Shaoming, who was sitting in the seat, couldn't help but light a cigar.

Zhou Shaoming, who took a deep breath of his cigar, pondered. At this time, Zhou Shaoming was not worried about the box office results of the release of "V Vendtta". For such a movie, although Warner's upcoming "Scooby-Doo 2" met unexpectedly in March, Zhou Shaoming is still more optimistic about the "V Vendtle" film.

"V Venddetta" is a Hollywood-style blockbuster film, both in terms of the scene and the content of the film. has a hot scene on the scene, plus special effects, Zhou Shaoming can't find any other reason, this film will lose to other films released at the same time.

The reason why Zhou Shaoming pondered was because he thought of the reporter at the press conference who asked about the Chinese New Year schedule of "Untouchable".

Yes, although at this time "Untouchable" has basically no attention. But such a movie, in order to enter the Chinese New Year schedule, worked overtime to shoot it and released it. met the audience at the Chinese film market.

However, for Zhou Shaoming. The box office results of the film after its release in the Chinese film market made Zhou Shaoming a little disappointed.

Although the film has achieved unanimous praise in major media, it is ultimately for Chinese audiences. It's not yet acceptable to the majority of the population.

"This time, our Chinese Hollywood director Mr. Smith Zhou once again brought us a connotative comedy "Untouchable", which made our eyes shine. Feast one's eyes. It's no wonder that such a director will be so comfortable in Hollywood, it seems that domestic directors want to go out, they might as well study Director Zhou's masterpiece! "It's the first time that Xinhua News has commented on a film director so highly.

"After 4 months, the genius Chinese director Smith Zhou came to our East again with his masterpiece "Untouchable", for such a film, we can only sigh that Director Zhou's genius ability to direct movies is unmatched!" Asia Daily

"Smith Zhou came back again, with the comedy "Untouchable", came to us again, watching this very in-depth comedy, we couldn't help but be impressed, Director Zhou seems that there is no type of movie that is not well shot. Director Zhou, who is no longer limited to Hollywood, has gradually become a guarantee of box office results for audiences in the East and the West! Hong Kong Phoenix Entertainment News Network

Whether it is the Oriental or Chinese film market, the media also unanimously give high praise to this Western form of comedy and literary film, which is really unprecedented for a literary film.

However, it seems that in the Chinese film market, the audience does not eat the media.

At the premiere of "Untouchable", Zhou Shaoming looked at the box office results of only tens of millions, and felt lukewarm, because such box office results seemed a little pitiful.

How so? What's the problem? In the Chinese film market, Supernova Entertainment has a greater advantage than Warner, Columbia and other film and television giants. At this time, Supernova Entertainment Film and Television already has its own large-scale theaters in China's first-tier cities, and it is basically covering in second-tier cities.

For Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, the framework of the cinema kingdom in the Chinese film market has basically been formed, and it will be continuously improved in the future. In fact, in China, it is best to build theaters in third-tier cities, not like first- and second-tier cities, where the location of theaters must be planned, and the theaters in each region must be well distributed. In Tier 3 cities, Supernova Entertainment Studios plans to have only one theater to suffice.

However, under such circumstances, the Chinese New Year film "Untouchable" still has a pitiful box office performance in the Chinese film market, which is stunning.

Among the movies in this year's Chinese New Year schedule, Feng Xiaogang's Feng style movie "Mobile Phone" is eye-catching, under this Chinese New Year film, it has become one of the most popular Chinese New Year films for Chinese audiences to enter the theater, and it is deservedly the king of this year's Chinese New Year.

And Zhang Yimou's "Ambush on All Sides" has also become one of the most popular movies in the Chinese New Year schedule, with a box office score of about 160 million in the country.

But what about "Untouchable" after the movie was released. After the end of the Lunar New Year, the box office result was only 50 million, such a box office result is indeed a big pain for Zhou Shaoming, but fortunately, the North American film has achieved good results in the box office, which makes the movie "Untouchable" end with a good reputation and decent box office results.

However, Zhou Shaoming didn't understand why the box office results of his "Untouchable" would have such box office results in the Chinese film market?

Compared with the movies of these domestic big-name stars such as Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, the gap in box office performance is so big. made Zhou Shaoming a little puzzled.

But. When Benjamin handed over a copy of Zhou Shaoming's information, Zhou Shaoming suddenly realized. According to regular surveys, the audience of the movie "Untouchable" in the Chinese film market is more of those white-collar workers.

Of course, China's Chinese New Year schedule is very lively, and under many movies, it is very difficult for "Untouchable" to fight its way out, but Zhou Shaoming's box office performance will have such a big gap.

White-collar workers? In Chinese cinemas, more audiences are students and young people. Most of those white-collar workers have to work overtime during the Chinese New Year.

The movie "Untouchable" has received a lot more hits on the Internet in China than in North America. But there are very few people who actually come to the theater to watch it.

At this time. Zhou Shaoming suddenly realized that the reason why his movie had few box office results was because he ignored the living habits of Chinese audiences.

However, the movie has been viewed by millions on the Internet. Within a week of its release, the movie had as many as 5 million views. There are countless reviews on the Internet, and the praise is continuous.

"It's a heartwarming movie and a movie full of joy if you feel a little chilly this winter. Then the emotions conveyed by this nearly two-hour movie can make your heart feel a little warm. ”

Zhou Shaoming took the movie "Untouchable" to catch up with the release of the Chinese New Year schedule, but did not achieve high box office results, but won a good reputation.

For this movie. Most people chose to watch it online and did not enter the theater, although there are some regrets for Zhou Shaoming, but for Zhou Shaoming, it is also rewarding.

This made Zhou Shaoming understand more about what he didn't know, supernova entertainment film and television are constantly developing, and he is constantly shooting movies for release.

This has saved some experience for the release of films in the Chinese film market in the future, which is very important for Zhou Shaoming.

Although Zhou Shaoming is already a big-name director in Hollywood, after all, he began to lead Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company to enter the Chinese film market, and his influence is still limited.

For the local people, those directors who have been familiar with people as early as the Chinese New Year schedule still lack influence compared to Zhou Shaoming.

Therefore, Zhou Shaoming wants to have a long-term development in the Chinese film market, and if he wants to gain a foothold in this film market, he still needs some efforts.

Zhou Shaoming thought about it and couldn't help but extinguish the cigarette in his hand, and quietly closed his eyes, for Zhou Shaoming at this time, the filming of "Untouchable" has achieved a good reputation and good results around the world, compared with other similar small-scale movies.

Zhou Shaoming's film is a masterpiece. So now Zhou Shaoming can only focus on the newly released "V-word Vendetta".

With the passionate words of David, the young director who had just taken office at the press conference, Zhou Shaoming still appreciated it very much. It can be seen that David is from the heart, because after filming "V Vendtta", David has become more and more confident. That's a good thing.

Because David will shoot more movies in the future, and Supernova Entertainment Film and Television will also need more new movies for the audience, bringing different passion and different movie world to the audience. (To be continued......)
