Chapter 305: Are Your Expectations High or Low?

Jiang Bin: Did the script collapse?

This is really not Zhang Sheng's bragging.

In the past three months, Jiang Bin seems to be more and more dissatisfied.

However, Jiang Bin looked for Zhang Sheng less frequently.

He may also realize that he has fallen into Zhang Sheng's pit.

Of course, Zhang Sheng didn't mean to dig a hole for him.

He just watched countless networks, and his brain was huge.

Every time Jiang Bin came to him, after a discussion, he could be inspired.

The problem is that those inspirations are difficult to integrate into a film.

It's a bit of a mess!

Therefore, the reason why this situation is caused by Jiang Bin himself is the crux of the problem.

There are so many ideas that if you were writing the script, it might not be much.

But if you can revise the script and have more ideas, it's not a good thing.

Jiang Bin's ambition is too great.

"There are too many ideas, and how normal it is to collapse. However, Director Jiang seems to be aware of this, and it is estimated that it should be soon. Zhang Sheng said, "If you want to try this movie, the chances are not small." ”

In "Starry Night", is there a role suitable for Gu Sisi?

Yes.

In the film, Zhang Sheng's role has a favorite object, and it is also a fuse for him to gradually blacken.

What's more, Gu Sisi is now among actresses, and her box office appeal is definitely at the forefront.

And her acting skills are not bad.

Now it's on fire.

If "Resident Evil" is successful, then Gu Sisi's popularity will increase a lot.

What's more, her relationship with Zhang Sheng can also bring a lot of popularity to the movie.

The publicity of "Resident Evil" has gradually increased.

This movie is also Zhang Sheng's first film written, directed and acted in, which is full of gimmicks.

As for why he starred in it?

"Plans can't keep up with the changes!" Zhang Sheng was asked by media reporters and said, "I didn't plan to act, but after the start of the film, an actor had an accident, and I couldn't find someone to replace me temporarily, so I was the only one." ”

Which actor? What happened?

It's no secret.

Isn't it that Shi Bing was "banned" because of tax issues?

"Can Director Zhang reveal what kind of role you play?" The journalist asked.

"The heroine's husband." Zhang Sheng smiled and said.

Naturally, he won't reveal much.

For example, that character is a bad guy or even the "murderer" of the entire Resident Evil.

At the same time, he was hacked to death by the heroine played by Gu Sisi.

When promoting, there will inevitably be some spoilers.

But that has to be measured.

As for him taking on this role, it was the result of Gu Sisi's persuasion.

This can wait for the film to be released before it is revealed.

And why did Gu Sisi persuade him to take it?

It's nothing more than trying to hack him to death in the movie.

It's definitely hyping up in front of a topic.

"What are Director Zhang's expectations for the box office of this movie?" The reporter asked Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng's previous two movies both had a box office of more than one billion.

In fact, the movies produced by Changsheng Entertainment do not seem to have a box office of less than one billion now.

The cast of "Resident Evil" is undoubtedly very strong.

Gu Sisi, Zhang Sheng, Peng Yuqian

With these three people alone, the cast is not weak.

Compared with the cast of those big productions, it is definitely not weak.

In addition, this movie is the largest film invested by Changsheng Entertainment.

I just didn't think that this movie would become the highest-grossing one of Changsheng Entertainment's highest grossing films.

"Source Code" is a science fiction film, which has a good box office.

But the public is still not optimistic about "Resident Evil".

Zombies or something, there really isn't much market in China.

In the past, it was not that there were no "zombie movies", but they all hit the streets.

In their opinion, "Resident Evil" may be a science fiction film, but it is actually more like a "zombie movie".

"Among the movies produced by Changsheng Entertainment, it should not be at the bottom of the box office." Zhang Sheng said, "Well, it's good not to be at the bottom." ”

The reporter frowned, how did he feel that this was a little familiar.

Then I thought about it, wasn't this what he was expecting from "Wolf Warrior"?

And what about "Wolf Warrior"?

Almost didn't double his expectations.

Are these high expectations?

Perhaps!

However, the lowest box office produced by Changsheng Entertainment is "Night. Shop.

Now this movie has become a minimum expectation for Zhang Sheng.

Night. The Shop", that was the first movie you wrote and starred in.

It was also the first film produced by Changsheng Entertainment.

"I heard that in this movie, Shen Bo, Wang Jun, and Xie Jing'an all made cameo appearances?"

A reporter asked.

This is before, when Wang Jun was promoting "Soldier Assault", he told media reporters.

Shen Bo is now filming "Crazy Racing", but he posted on Weibo and admitted the matter.

As for Xie Jing'an?

He is now one of the mentors of "I Am an Actor", and the exposure rate is still quite high.

He also mentioned this in the recent episode of the show.

Of course, Wang Jun and the three of them only said that they made a cameo appearance in "Resident Evil", but did not mention what role they cameo.

The three of them are like this, so they are naturally promoting the movie.

Who made "Resident Evil" the work of their boss.

There are many ways to publicize it.

This kind of publicity and distribution method has a small investment, but the effect is good.

"Yes!"

Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "Sun Yiqian also has a cameo in this movie. Compared with Wang Jun and the three of them, Sun Yiqian has more cameo roles. ”

It's true, but the characters they play cameo in all have a common characteristic: they received a boxed lunch not long after they appeared.

At the film press conference, media reporters naturally will not only focus on Zhang Sheng.

Although he is the focus, Gu Sisi and Peng Yuqian's fame is not low.

As for others such as Jiang Jie, they were naturally ignored by media reporters.

In fact, whether it is Zhang Sheng or Gu Sisi, they still take care of Jiang Jie, and from time to time they lead the topic to her.

It's a pity that she is too under-known.

The media only has an impression of the actor who plays the second female lead in the film, and has little interest.

Of course, Zhang Sheng also mentioned it as much as he could.

He is not enough to praise it.

After all, Jiang Jie is not a signed artist of Changsheng Entertainment.

"Not at the bottom, are your expectations for the box office of this movie high, or low?"

At the end of the press conference, Gu Sisi couldn't help but ask Zhang Sheng.

Is it high?

It doesn't seem to be low.

The box office of 700 million is indeed high.

Now there is a movie with a box office of 700 million in China, how can it be ranked in the top 30.

With the same investment, reaching a box office of 700 million, it will be even less.

The investment in "Resident Evil" is indeed not small, but it is only relative to other films of Changsheng Entertainment.

In the Chinese film industry, it is actually just a medium investment.

Three or five billion box office, it should be able to return to the cost.

700 million, that's earned.

Don't look at the news about which movie and how much money it makes, there are only a few movies that make money.

The proportion of money lost is even greater.

But you can say high!

It doesn't seem to be talking about either.

Don't be at the bottom, tall fart!

It can only be said that the movies produced by Changsheng Entertainment have a high box office.

"What do you say?"

Zhang Sheng shook his head and said.

It doesn't really matter.

The box office of 700 million does not lose money, but it may not meet expectations.

Because if there is really only 700 million box office, then the influence of this movie is limited.

"The company's recent movie box office doesn't seem to be below a billion." Peng Yuqian said.

He is now going hand in hand with film and television.

In addition to starring in the company's movies, he also starred in movies outside the company.

It's just that the box office is not satisfactory.

The movie with a box office of more than one billion seems to be "Source Code".

And it's not the starring yet.

"In this way, your expectations for this movie are not high at the box office." Gu Sisi said.

"No confidence?" Zhang Sheng smiled and said.

Gu Sisi asked this way, but at the same time, he was not confident.

"You have?" Gu Sisi said, "If you are really confident, I am afraid that the expected box office will exceed one billion." ”

Zhang Sheng smiled and didn't refute.

Publicity, naturally, is not just Zhang Sheng with the main creative lineup to develop the conference or something.

In addition, it is natural to participate in some variety shows.

Changsheng Entertainment has a lot of programs on its hands.

Among them, "I Am an Actor" and "Run, Brother" are on the air.

"Run, Brother" is still popular, and the ratings are the first in the same period.

And what about "I Am an Actor"?

The topic is much stronger than "Run, Brother".

It's the first season, after all.

The ratings of this show are still good.

First in the same period.

However, compared with the ratings of programs such as "Run, Brother", it is somewhat worse.

It's not a phenomenal variety show.

Compared with other variety shows, it can be regarded as a hit.

The show also makes money.

At least more than the "Poetry Conference".

"Director Chen, Teacher Liu, Teacher Zhou!" Zhang Sheng looked at Xie Jing'an again and said, "Old Xie! ”

Zhang Sheng is here to serve as the flight director of an issue of "I Am an Actor".

As soon as I arrived, I greeted the guests.

The director Chen in his mouth is called Chen Ke, and he is a very famous director in the circle.

The national reputation is not low.

used to make literary films, and there have been many actors and actresses in his works, including actors and actresses of famous foreign film festivals.

Nowadays, most of the films are made commercially, some of which make money and some lose money, but every work is basically a frequent visitor to the Golden Dragon Award.

He is one of the resident mentors.

Teacher Liu, whose name is Liu Yunxi, is a teacher in the acting department of Yenching Film Academy.

Many powerful actors in the circle are her students.

She is the acting director of this show.

In addition, the teacher that week was the popular super first-line actress Zhou Jin.

She is also the Golden Dragon Award actor.

The acting is recognized as good.

Changsheng Entertainment's "Thai Embarrassment" also fought with "Not Guilty" starring her and Liang Hua.

Gu Sisi's momentum is very strong, but compared with Zhou Jin, it is a little worse.

He is also one of the resident mentors.

And her appearance fee is also the highest in this show.

Another resident mentor is Xie Jing'an.

He and Zhang Sheng are also acquaintances.

"Mr. Zhang!"

"Director Zhang!"

"Director Zhang!"

"Mr. Zhang!"

Chen Ke and the others also greeted Zhang Sheng with a smile.

It's just a different name.

"Huh? Director Zhang is here! ”

A voice sounded, Zhang Sheng turned around and looked, but it was the recommender of this show: Zhang Guohua.
