Chapter 279: Do You Think It's Reasonable?

What are the special effects of Resident Evil?

It depends on which movies it compares to.

If it is compared with those sci-fi blockbusters in Hollywood, it can be ignored.

There is no comparison.

But if it's compared to "Source Code", it's naturally more.

For example, the licker in the film undoubtedly requires a lot of special effects.

Of course, there are still corresponding props.

A large part of the reason why it was able to start a month earlier than expected was that the props and scenes were built in much less time than expected.

It is normal for the shooting period to start in September, and the shooting period is two or three months, which is basically the same as December.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve is at the end of January.

In less than two months, it was obvious that the production was difficult to complete, so naturally it was impossible to catch up.

What's more, Zhang Sheng didn't plan to let "Resident Evil" be released during the Spring Festival.

"Ready for the Spring Festival release of "Big Names"?" Gu Sisi then asked.

Changsheng Entertainment is a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival stalls, and it is the biggest winner of the Spring Festival stalls every year.

Even if it's not the champion, that's the biggest winner.

With a small broad, I don't know how many people's eyes are red.

Changsheng Entertainment is not favored every time, but it can always stage a miracle.

"It's not decided yet." Zhang Sheng shook his head and said, "The company intends to shoot "Baby Zhiduoxing 2" to enter the Spring Festival file. If this movie is filmed, "Big Names" will not be released on National Day, then it will be released on Christmas and New Year's Day. ”

Schedule selection, Zhang Sheng prefers the latter.

""Baby Smart Star 2"?" Gu Si pondered for a moment and said, "You don't want to shoot "Resident Evil"? You're not directing the sequel! ”

If Changsheng Entertainment is filming, Zhang Sheng obviously has no time to direct.

However, the biggest selling point of "Baby Wisdom and Stars" is obviously not in the director Zhang Sheng.

"When I made the first part, I already said that I would not direct a sequel." Zhang Sheng said, "However, I wrote the script for the sequel. ”

"Starring Tang Hao?" Gu Sisi said.

"Hmm!"

Zhang Sheng nodded.

Tang Hao's popularity is not low now.

After the fire of "Baby Zhiduoxing", he immediately became a sweetheart, and successively received many movies and television.

Although most of them are not the protagonists, or most of them are when the protagonists were children, he is definitely the hottest child star in the circle now.

And he is indeed talented in acting.

Among the actors signed by Changsheng Entertainment, the most profitable is Tang Hao.

He also has the most endorsements.

Of course, most of them are children's products.

"What about Shen Bo and Wang Jun?" Gu Sisi then asked.

In "Baby Wisdom and Stars", Tang Hao is very outstanding, but Shen Bo and Wang Jun, who play two stupid thieves, are undoubtedly impressive.

"Those two stupid thieves are still in prison!" Zhang Sheng shook his head.

The second part of the original version of "Baby Wisdom and Stars" tells the story of the protagonist who is lost in New York, alone in this completely unfamiliar metropolis, encounters two stupid thieves he met before, and uses his means to teach these two stupid thieves a lesson.

Those two stupid thieves are the two from the first part.

And they escaped from prison.

Such a stupid thief actually escaped from prison.

It's so unreasonable.

What's more, if this matter is put in China, it will be too discordant.

So in the sequel to the film, Zhang Sheng did not refer to the second part, but to the plot of the third part.

Gu Sisi didn't continue to ask.

As an audience, she became interested in this sequel film.

Ask too much, understand the plot, and when the film is released, it looks a little less flavorful.

It's as an actor, so there's no interest.

It is impossible for her to play the harlequin to set off the protagonist now, even if the protagonist is a child.

She is not yet at the point where she puts down her image to play a harlequin.

Is the sequel to "Baby Smart Stars" going to be filmed?

In fact, it is not a sequel, but a completely new story.

This series has a small investment, but a high return.

Earn without losing money.

It's just hard to say how much you earn.

Shoot, definitely have to shoot.

It's just that who directs it is still up for debate.

However, Zhang Sheng didn't care.

He believes that Lu Wenhua can find a reliable director for this movie.

""Baby Smart Multi-Star" and "Source Code" have been released in Europe and the United States and other countries and regions." Zhou Zhao said.

As for Changsheng Entertainment's other films, the filmmakers over there don't seem to like it.

Maybe it's because the laughter is different.

However, foreign websites can be seen.

The copyright is sold.

It's just not expensive.

Mosquitoes are small, but they are also meat.

Changsheng Entertainment will not stop selling foreign websites because of low copyright fees.

Not to mention, the copyrights of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Dragon Babu" have been sold a lot abroad.

Among them, Asia is the majority.

It doesn't sell well in Europe and the United States.

Of course, there are also those that sell well.

"Jingwumen" is a big hit in other countries and regions in Asia.

Europe and the United States have also caused a lot of repercussions.

The copyright of this TV series abroad is undoubtedly the best-selling.

"It's not good at the box office, is it?" Zhang Sheng said.

The original version of "Baby Wisdom Multi-Star" caused a sensation in North America.

The box office is exceptionally impressive.

Otherwise, this series would not have filmed so many films.

But this time and that time.

If the background is Western, the actors are also European and American faces, and the investment and production party is a Hollywood company.

Then there may be the possibility of getting a high box office.

now

Forget it!

It is estimated that it will be released in North America, and it will be grandma who doesn't hurt and uncle doesn't love it.

"Not bad. "Baby's Wisdom and Stars" has an estimated five million box office in North America. Zhou Zhao said, "Other countries and regions are estimated to be not much different." ”

"Dollars?" Zhang Shengdao.

"Naturally!"

Zhou Zhao said.

If it's only 10 million Chinese dollars at the box office, it's not a bad fart.

It's better to directly let the other party buy it out, and what box office dividends do you want.

"What about Source Code?" Zhang Sheng asked, "It should be much lower, right?" ”

"Baby Wisdom Multi-Star" foreign box office is 10 million US dollars?

That's a fraction of what the original is.

Compared with the domestic box office, it is more difficult to see.

However, Zhang Sheng, like Zhou Zhao, feels that the box office is already good.

Want to have the same box office as the original?

Dream on!

Among other things, the number of theaters released varies greatly.

The attraction to fans in North America is naturally far less.

There are too many factors that affect the box office of a movie.

Chinese films have always been poor at the box office in North America.

Even if the quality of the movie is excellent.

In addition to the difference in the tastes of fans in the two places, I am afraid that it is not as good as the deliberate suppression of the film and television industry there.

They are afraid of the rise of Chinese-language films.

"Two million!" Zhou Zhao said.

Although he expected it, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

He is confident that his version of Source Code is much better and more exciting than the original.

Compared with the box office of the original in North America, the difference is too big.

Fractions don't count.

The original box office really has no reference value.

If he had the opportunity, Zhang Sheng really wanted to make a film that was not popular in the original version and tried it.

"Mosquitoes are small, but they are also meat!"

Zhang Sheng comforted himself.

Be content.

Whether it's "Baby Wisdom and Many Stars" or "Source Code", these two films have already made a lot of money, and they should be content.

He never thought that these two films would make any waves internationally.

Changsheng Entertainment will shoot a sequel to "Baby Wisdom and Multi-Star", which instantly attracted the attention of countless people inside and outside the circle.

Fans are looking forward to it.

And what about other film and television companies?

want to participate in the investment.

But the investment in this kind of film is so large, where do you need to attract investment.

What's more, there is no loss in making a steady profit, and it may be a big profit, why should you cheapen others?

If you take the risk, then there is money to make together, and that's nothing.

A risk-free film, you want a piece of the pie, what about dreams?

"Wolf Warrior" is looking for you, you are not optimistic, do not vote.

Want to vote now?

How can it be.

Changsheng Entertainment rejected investment from other companies, but did not refuse other cooperation.

For example, issuance.

For example, actor trial and so on.

The director of the film was also quickly confirmed: Zhu Zhigao.

He's a director on the Treasure Island.

He is good at comedy and has also made children's films.

His previous films were still very popular, but now they are not as famous as before.

However, there is no doubt about the ability.

When Zhang Sheng discussed the script with him, he gained a lot.

"Do you think our company should consider an online university or an online drama?"

Changsheng Entertainment senior management met, and Zhang Sheng asked.

"Isn't "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" an online drama?" Ji Hongsheng said.

Changsheng Entertainment now has two dramas in hand.

"Bright Sword" has been completed and is busy with post-production.

However, "Ghost Blows the Lamp" is still filming.

"That drama is not led by our company." Zhang Sheng said.

The filming and production team of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is Kirin Film and Television.

Changsheng Entertainment is the largest investor and also participates in the filming and production, but does not lead it.

"Do you want to use a low-cost online drama or an online university to cultivate a team?" Lu Wenhua looked at Zhang Sheng and asked.

He joined the company much earlier than Ji Hongsheng, and he had a lot more dealings with Zhang Sheng, so he naturally had a deeper understanding of Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng must have a purpose in proposing this.

Make money?

Internet universities or online dramas naturally make money, but Changsheng Entertainment may not be able to watch it now.

Cinema movies have been a success, and TV series have also become popular.

can be on the star, or even on CCTV, why do you want to engage in online dramas?

If "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is not a special interest, it can only be an online drama, and I am afraid that Changsheng Entertainment may not be interested.

Isn't it fragrant to be directly adapted into a movie and released in theaters?

"That's what it means." Zhang Sheng said, "I think Changsheng Entertainment needs its own team of screenwriters. So far, the company's film and TV scripts have been released to me, do you think it is reasonable? ”

Is it reasonable?

Naturally unreasonable.

A mature film and television company should have its own team of screenwriters.

Zhang Sheng has so many good dramas and movies in his mind, and he can fully support the script supply of Changsheng Entertainment.

But he didn't want that.

It's not that he's lazy, but from the company's point of view, such a company is undoubtedly deformed.

If you want to make the company bigger and stronger, then you must put the company on the right track.

How far can a company that can be supported by him alone?

What's more, if there is a screenwriting department, then many scripts that Zhang Sheng doesn't want to write can completely get the outline out and directly let the screenwriting department improve it.

Save time and effort, and maybe surprises.
