Chapter 308: A Wave of Pressure Strikes My Heart
There will be a sequel to Resident Evil, and the scene will be big.
This can be seen from the city-wide shot at the end of the film.
When the movie ended, applause rang out.
Whether it is polite, or whether the movie is really wonderful and worthy of applause, then it is unknown.
Zhang Sheng and the main creative team were indispensable for media interviews.
And whether there is a sequel to the movie, naturally it is indispensable to be asked.
"There are sequel considerations." Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "However, whether a sequel will be filmed depends on the market response of the first part." If the fans don't like it, there is naturally no need to continue filming. Moreover, the second part, whether it is scenes, actions, or others, will have a comprehensive improvement. ”
Fans don't like it?
This made many reporters pause for a moment before they reacted.
If fans don't like it, the reputation of the movie is naturally not good.
If fans don't like it, the box office of the movie will naturally not be good.
Poor word-of-mouth, low box office, and a fart sequel.
It is necessary to make a sequel, not only to see whether the story is still continued, but also to see the word-of-mouth and box office of the first part.
has no word of mouth, the box office is high, and if the sequel is made, the audience is likely not to buy it.
And what about the box office?
That's not to mention.
No matter how good the word-of-mouth is, it is estimated that no company will make a sequel.
Of course, those with high box office, even if the story is very complete, can still be divided by many sequels with you.
To decide whether there is a sequel, the most important thing is probably whether it can make money.
After the premiere of "Resident Evil", there are still a lot of topics related to the movie.
For example, "Zhang Sheng was hacked to death by Gu Sisi".
Yes, it was not the character played by Zhang Sheng who was hacked to death by the character played by Gu Sisi.
Writing like the former is obviously more appealing to the public.
Title parties are rampant.
In addition, there is also "Wang Jun, Shen Bo, Xie Jing'an, and the three are really miserable"!
The trio's cameo characters are zombies.
Make-up for half a day, shoot for a few minutes, and appear for a few seconds.
If it weren't for the audience's sharp eyes, even if there was a close-up, it would be difficult to recognize.
They made a cameo appearance in this movie, and they definitely didn't have the money to get it.
I don't know if the round-trip fare has been reimbursed.
Of course, did the three of them lose?
Apparently not.
Together, the exposure of the three of them has increased greatly.
Anyone with a discerning eye can actually see that this topic has the shadow of Changsheng Entertainment.
While promoting the movie, it also increases the exposure of its artists.
And the movie network score for this movie came out quickly.
Eight o'clock.
It's not an impressive score, but it's still a good score.
At least those critics and viewers who watched the premiere thought it was a good film.
The word of mouth is stable, so what about the box office?
The next day, Zhang Sheng took the main creator to the Huhai roadshow.
"I wonder how the first day of the movie was at the box office?"
Gu Sisi asked casually.
This is a movie she picks a lot, and it is inevitable that she is a little nervous.
If she succeeds, she will not have one more masterpiece, but one more series.
This has a non-negligible effect on her future development.
"The single-day box office champion is definitely stable." Zhang Sheng smiled and said.
When Gu Sisi heard this, he rolled his eyes directly.
This is just nonsense.
Although "Resident Evil" is not favored by the market, no company wants to compete with Zhang Sheng's movie.
There are too many movies that are not favored by the market, but they are big hits, and Changsheng Entertainment has too much.
"Wolf Warrior" has only passed a long time.
What's more, didn't Zhang Sheng repeatedly slap those who were not optimistic about his movies?
Which of his first two movies was favored?
But that movie won't have a good reputation at the box office.
Therefore, competitive films are basically postponed or advanced by a week, or more.
The summer schedule is very long.
There is no need to release it on the same day as Zhang Sheng's movie.
What's more, the popularity of this movie and the box office appeal are not weak.
Zhang Sheng wrote, directed and acted by himself, starring Gu Sisi, Peng Yuqian and others.
The cast is very strong.
Therefore, "Resident Evil" won 32% of the film schedule, ranking first without suspense.
Far more than the second-ranked movie.
With such a schedule and such popularity, if you can't win the single-day box office championship.
Then this movie is estimated to have to pounce on grandma's house.
"I shouldn't lose money." Zhang Sheng said with a smile, "I'm talking about counting you and my salary." ”
Counting the salary, it means that the dividends of the two can be paid to the fullest.
This box office is not 700 or 800 million, I'm afraid it's impossible.
Is it possible to have a box office of seven or eight hundred million?
Don't look at Changsheng Entertainment's movies, they are basically breaking one billion now.
But there are not many movies that break one billion a year.
It is rare to reach 700 or 800 million.
In this way, Zhang Sheng is still quite confident in this movie.
The box office came out quickly on the first day.
160 million!
This box office is still very impressive.
Seven or eight hundred million seems to be no suspense.
Of course, provided that there is no cliff fall the next day.
This situation is not unheard of in the circle.
However, judging from the reputation of "Resident Evil", this should not be the case.
And after the single-day box office statistics on the second day of release came out, Zhang Sheng's hanging heart was put down.
More than 140 million, although the box office has dropped by nearly 20 million, it is normal and within a controllable range.
The cumulative box office in two days exceeded 300 million.
The movie naturally became popular.
The third day of the release, a weekday.
The single-day box office fell again, and even almost fell to the 100 million yuan mark.
However, the decline is also within the normal range.
Blockbuster films like "Resident Evil" are generally the highest box office on the first day, and then gradually decline.
But this box office is still amazing.
Subsequently, the film continued to win the single-day box office champion.
The number of films is also gradually increasing.
If there is no new film released, it should be impossible to run.
The box office of the movie is also rising.
300 million in two days, 400 million in three days, 500 million in five days, and 700 million in six days.
In the first week of its release, it was nearly 800 million.
The billion-dollar box office is definitely stable.
As for whether it can break 1.5 billion, it depends on the impact of the new film on this movie.
Zhang Sheng ran a roadshow for a week, and it didn't continue.
One is that the effect is not as good as before.
The most important thing is that he has a lot of things on his hands.
"Resident Evil" fire.
Gu Sisi, the leading actor, is not the actor who has benefited the most.
After all, it was much more difficult for her to go one step further now than before.
In terms of popularity, popularity and whatever, it is obviously far inferior to Jiang Jie.
It's not even as good as Peng Yuqian.
As for money, it is obviously not as good as Zhang Sheng.
But is there less she gains?
Definitely not.
This movie is a series of movies created by Zhang Sheng for her.
The box office is so hot, and there is no suspense about breaking one billion, then the filming of the second part has been ironclad.
Now there is uncertainty about whether Zhang Sheng will direct.
"Guide!" Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "After "Terminator" is filmed, let's shoot it." ”
A series of films, the first is the key, and the second is equally important.
The second part of "Resident Evil" has a large scene and many characters designed.
And it is also related to the later sequels.
Directed by others, he was a little uneasy.
Of course, there is another reason.
That is, Zhang Sheng can't find a suitable director in China.
I have to say that there is really a lack of directors who are good at this type of movie in China.
"Don't talk too much. Who knows if you'll have another idea? Gu Sisi said, "How long will it take for that "Terminator" to start filming? ”
Previously, Zhang Sheng planned to make two movies one after another.
As a result, I went to visit the crew, and after seeing Xie Song, I was inspired, and there is today's "Terminator".
"Half a month at most." Zhang Sheng said.
That movie is almost ready now.
"What about Director Jiang's movie?" Gu Sisi then asked.
Not surprisingly, after Zhang Sheng finished filming "The Terminator", he will continue to star in Jiang Bin's movie.
"As for the script, it's basically going to be finalized." Zhang Sheng said, "I guess I'm about to start preparations." If you want to test the characters in the realm, I also said hello to Director Jiang, if nothing else, it should be fine. ”
Whether Gu Sisi succeeds in the trial may have Zhang Sheng's face, but it must be insignificant.
The real reason is that Gu Sisi is suitable.
Whether it's from the role or from the market.
"Resident Evil" undoubtedly adds a lot of weight to Gu Sisi. Her relationship with Zhang Sheng also created a gimmick for the movie.
"The competition should be fierce!" Gu Sisi said.
Jiang Bin's films are naturally highly competitive.
In other words, the competition is fierce for all the films of great directors.
"There are really a lot of interested actresses." Zhang Sheng said, "I know Zhou Jin. ”
Zhou Jin should be Gu Sisi's biggest competitor.
It's not just the acting skills that overwhelm Gu Sisi.
Her box office appeal can also overwhelm Gu Sisi.
Now with the resident mentor of "I Am an Actor", during this time, its exposure rate is also very high.
Hearing Zhou Jin's name, Gu Sisi felt a pressure in his heart.
She doesn't think she's worse than Zhou Jin.
But he didn't despise her.
"It's good to be natural!" Gu Sisi said, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. This movie has Director Jiang starring with you, even if other characters go on a business trip, they can only be a foil. ”
These are not self-consoling words after being discouraged.
Jiang Bin's movie, he is definitely the most brilliant person.
The same goes for this movie.
Zhang Shengna's role is undoubtedly much more brilliant than the supporting roles in his other movies.
The role is also much heavier.
There is even a bit of a double master flavor.
If Zhang Sheng is shortlisted for any award with this movie, it is very likely that the nomination will not be Best Supporting Actor, but Best Actor.
Jiang Bin has always said that the character is the protagonist.
"What do you think of Director Jiang's movie?" Gu Sisi then asked.
"I haven't seen the revised script yet." "However, the risk is not small. ”
The revised script, Zhang Sheng has indeed not seen it.
However, you can guess a few points.
There are not many places to modify.
Jiang Bin realized that he couldn't chew too much, and if he was more inspired, he was ready to put it in the next movie.
The script of this movie is mature in all aspects, and if you revise too much and add too many ideas, it will disrupt the integrity of the film and be self-defeating.
"With a big investment, the risk is naturally not small." Gu Sisi nodded and said, "However, whether it is in the circle or fans, I still have a lot of confidence in his movie." ”
