Chapter 286: If you want to make money, then don't be afraid of being scolded

Which movie did Huang Bo become popular?

It's hard to say.

However, when mentioning him, you can't avoid the movie "Crazy Stone".

But he is only a supporting role in this movie.

is really a movie and has attracted the attention of the public, I am afraid it is "Crazy Racing".

In Zhang Sheng's view, the two movies that helped Huang Bo's career the most were "Crazy Racing" and "Bullfighting".

"Crazy Racing" made Ning Hao the fourth director in China to break 100 million at the box office.

So how much benefit it is for the leading actor, you can imagine.

As for "Bullfighting", it pushed Huang Bo to the throne of the actor.

Zhang Sheng wants to make Shen Bo the Huang Bo of this world.

So whether the literary film "Bullfighting" will be filmed or not, you need to hesitate.

But "Crazy Racing" obviously doesn't need to hesitate.

The original box office may not have reference value.

But the box office of "Crazy Stone" can be referenced.

Even if it only has a box office like "Crazy Stone", it is a big profit.

However, Zhang Sheng believes that "Crazy Racing" will surpass "Crazy Stone" at the box office.

"You don't have enough confidence in the movie "Big Shot"!"

Lu Wenhua looked at Zhang Sheng and said.

Next?

Subconsciously, I actually think that "Big Names" is not popular with Shen Bo.

"If I don't have confidence, why should I write this script?" Zhang Sheng said lightly.

"Don't lose money!" Lu Wenhua said, "If the box office of this film is one or two hundred million, there will be money to be made." But if there is only one or two hundred million box office, I am afraid it will be a failure. ”

The investment in this film is not large, and there are a lot of product placements, not to mention the direct return to the cost, but the investment is even less.

If you lose money, you will definitely not lose money.

It's just a question of how much you earn.

"I'm afraid I'm going to be scolded!" Zhang Sheng said, "Those advertisements in the film, if they are not implanted, can make the reputation of the whole film go to a higher level." ”

Considerable plot and language in the film exposes and criticizes the phenomenon of false advertising.

After the product placement, it definitely has an impact.

This film is no longer the same as the original.

Of course, it's still funny to be funny.

It can only be said that the exposure and criticism of the current situation of real society is far less ironic and sharp than the original version.

After watching it, the audience may have a kind of "this film can be better".

It's a pity that for that advertising fee

"Are you afraid of being scolded?" Lu Wenhua said.

"I'm not afraid." Zhang Sheng said, "When I entered this industry, I understood a truth: if you want to make money, then don't be afraid of being scolded." ”

When Lu Wenhua heard this, he smiled.

In his opinion, Zhang Sheng is not afraid of being scolded, that is, no one can scold him at all.

was really scolded so much that he couldn't hold back, he would definitely scold back.

Of course, he ignored the scolding of fans and fans.

After all, I earned other people's money.

But if someone in the circle scolds, then he probably can't help but scold back.

Lao Tzu didn't make your money, so he was naturally not used to it.

"If the box office of "Big Shot" does not exceed 500 million, I am afraid it will be ridiculed." Zhang Sheng said.

500 million is undoubtedly a box office bottom line for "Big Names".

If it doesn't reach this box office, I'm afraid in the eyes of everyone, it will be a failure.

After all, Changsheng Entertainment's movies have not fallen below the 500 million mark.

Lu Wenhua nodded.

If the box office breaks 400 million, Changsheng Entertainment may be able to earn 100 million.

But in the eyes of the public, this movie is still a failure.

Whether it's artistically or commercially.

Who made Changsheng Entertainment's movies higher than one at the box office?

You can't go back.

"500 million should still be stable." Lu Wenhua said, "After all, this movie is better than "Night. The situation was much better. ”

Night. The box office of "Shop" is a bit fantastic.

However, "Big Names" is promoted in a similar way.

This film also made an "advertising prize quiz".

In Night. Shop" tasted the sweetness.

The publicity momentum is comparable to that of "Night. The shop is much better.

And as far as the film itself is concerned, "Big Names" is also more interesting.

Before the release, there was no overwhelming sound of "bad movies".

"I hope so!"

Zhang Sheng smiled and said.

On December 23, "Big Names" premiered.

Zhang Sheng, as a screenwriter and producer, naturally also participated.

However, he did not take the stage to interact with media reporters.

Gu Sisi has now gone to the crew to film.

That drama is a big production invested and produced by Huanna Film and Television.

Liu Yun served as the second female lead in it.

Lin Zuhua plays the villain.

The villain is said to be quite likable.

"It's finished?"

Zhang Sheng was a little surprised when he saw Wu Jie coming.

"Wolf Warrior" was completed, and this guy immediately entered another crew to film.

"Hmm!" Wu Jie smiled and said, "Should I be glad?" ”

"Rejoicing in what?"

Zhang Sheng asked casually in confusion.

Lucky to make it to the premiere of this film?

Not really!

"I'm glad your "Resident Evil" is finished." Wu Jie smiled and said, "If it is not finished, if you go to your crew to visit the class, you may be a zombie." ”

"Zombies?" Zhang Sheng frowned and said, "What? ”

"Wang Jun is Zombie A, Shen Bo is Zombie B, and Xie Jingan is Zombie C." Wu Jie said, "If I go, wouldn't I be a zombie?" ”

ZHANG Sheng:.

He kind of understands what "zombie ding" is.

"It's okay, I missed the first part, you can consider the second part." Zhang Sheng smiled and said.

"Part 2?" Wu Jie smiled and said, "Don't mention a cameo, if possible, I hope to star." ”

Cameo zombies?

Wu Jie doesn't have this hobby.

He heard Peng Yuqian say that almost all the characters in "Resident Evil" seem to be dead except for the heroine.

"It's not that you can't think about it." Zhang Sheng said, "The second part really has a role that suits you. ”

"Have you written the script?" Wu Jie was a little surprised.

"It's written!" Zhang Sheng said, "If it weren't too risky, I would have wanted to shoot the two films together." ”

"Then wait for the first part to be released?" Wu Jie asked.

Zhang Sheng nodded.

After the first part is released, if the box office is good, then the second part will be filmed next.

If the box office is a hit, then he will not be stupid to shoot the second part.

"When will your movie be released?" Wu Jie asked.

"If nothing else, next summer." Zhang Sheng said.

There are still seven or eight months left, and although there are a lot of special effects in post-production, with today's special effects technology, it can really catch up.

"Is "Wolf Warrior" sure when it will be released?" Wu Jie asked.

"May Day or National Day, it has not yet been decided." Zhang Sheng said, "Maybe I won't pick any schedule to be released." ”

is not released on a good schedule, which is obviously not confident in the competitiveness of "Wolf Warrior".

The original version was released before May Day.

However, Zhang Sheng feels that it has a lot to do with the publisher.

Changsheng Entertainment still has a very strong advantage in domestic distribution.

While the two were talking, the interaction between Liu Yuan and other film creators and the reporters in the audience ended.

That's where the film begins.

Shen Bo played You Wei is a laid-off photographer who is unwilling to apply for his old job.

And his interviewer was Lucy.

She is an assistant to the great director Taylor.

Soon, I was worried that the interview was successful.

The picture turned, but it was a shot of Taylor filming.

Taylor looked serious in front of the monitor, then got up and walked over to the actor, who told him that he was doing well, but suddenly told everyone to stop.

He was out of inspiration, and he felt that what he was shooting at the moment was not what he wanted.

The camera turns again.

But it is a small emperor who is high above and has countless ministers under the stage.

And he was sitting in the dragon chair with a bottle of Coke in his hand.

This is advertising placement, but also with a strong sense of ridicule.

And this little emperor was Tang Hao's cameo.

Immediately afterward, You Wei takes the camera and follows Taylor and Lucy.

And You Wei's opinion on whether the emperor is a tragic figure has made many viewers feel the same way.

The emperor changes a woman a day, and he doesn't need to provide for himself, is this miserable?

And she is a woman, but she is still divorced.

Who is worse?

The plot unfolds gradually.

The crew stopped work, the producer came to the door, Taylor worshiped the Buddha, and then You Wei proposed the concept of "happy funeral".

The next day, the crew director was replaced.

You Wei seems to be going to lose his job.

Taylor asked You Wei to hold a "happy funeral" for him, and then he had a heart attack.

You is worried and kind, and I really remember this thing.

Then he found Wang Xiaozhu.

After Wang Xiaozhu heard You Wei's thoughts, his eyes were shining.

Taylor's fame for him is money.

After some planning, the funeral was placed in the Taimiao.

But there is no funding!

So what to do?

Find someone to invest in.

Then, the two found a filmmaker investor.

Investors said: money is not a problem.

But there is one condition, that is, the female star he excavated appeared at the funeral as Taylor's lover as a gimmick for his next investment.

As a result, the upright You Wei embarrassed the investors, and the two were beaten.

Undoubtedly, there is a strong sense of irony in this.

You Wei and the two returned to the car, discussed and prepared to find brand sponsorship.

Then, Wang Xiaozhu planned a large-scale press conference.

Auction of an advertising booth for Taylor's funeral on the spot.

The battlefield launch was undoubtedly quite successful.

The scene is so ironic and humorous that even Taylor's avatar is worth a million dollars.

At this time, the two did not know that Taylor had regained consciousness and watched the performance of the two in front of the TV.

At the advertising conference, You Worry canceled the advertising placement of a certain merchant.

The original is meant to combat piracy.

However, piracy in this world is not as rampant as in the original world.

So it's changed.

Does the protagonist make money from funerals?

No!

In his words, you can't let everyone work in vain.

First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the funeral does not lose money.

Next, the money earned will be left for Wang Xiaozhu, a share for Lucy, and her own share will be donated.

"Let the fool who scolded me for being mercenary go unexpectedly."

This is actually the spirit of the actor Youwei, who makes enough money in commercials on the one hand, and on the other hand, he scoffs at this atmosphere, including those who sneer at it.

If there is something to do today, there will be two shifts.
