Chapter 381: That's a bad movie
Liu Yuan's worries are indeed very reasonable.
The movie "Starry Night" is bound to shine at the Golden Dragon Awards.
This is almost the consensus in the circle.
Don't look at the fact that this movie is a commercial success, but it is also worth looking forward to in terms of awards.
Some people even think that Zhang Shengneng won the Best Actor Award with this movie.
"I Am Not the God of Medicine" collided with "Starry Night", and the ending was unpredictable.
It is understandable that Liu Yuan is not confident.
Jiang Bin is too powerful.
"You are afraid of bumping into "Starry Sky" at this Golden Dragon Awards, and you are afraid of bumping into "Farewell My Concubine" at the next Golden Dragon Awards." Zhang Sheng pouted and said, "In the next Golden Dragon Awards, you can guarantee that there will be no blockbusters?" ”
"You can't pin your prize on a competitor who isn't strong, right?" Zhang Sheng said, "Lao Liu, when did you become so cowardly? ”
Liu Yuan smiled awkwardly.
No, no!
Before he came into contact with movies, Zhang Wen and Jiang Bin had already become famous.
Those two are amazing.
"Forget it!" Liu Yuan said, "This year's Golden Dragon Awards, if you want to catch up, you may be able to catch up, but there is no need, for fear of affecting the quality of the film." As for when it will be released next year, the company will arrange it according to the market situation! ”
"You really want to win the prize so much?" Zhang Sheng looked at Liu Yuan and said.
"Who doesn't want to win a prize?" Liu Yuan said, "I used to be short of money, but now I don't have such a strong desire for money, and my desire to win awards is naturally much stronger." ”
"I want to win awards and make literary films." Zhang Sheng said, "It's not that the company doesn't let you make literary films. ”
"Let's talk about it!" Liu Yuan said.
Literary films are indeed easier to win awards, but literary films do not necessarily win awards.
If you bother to make a literary film, but you don't even see the shadow of the trophy, wouldn't it be a big loss.
The money was not earned, and the trophy was not received.
The gains outweigh the losses.
Zhang Sheng glanced at Liu Yuan and didn't say anything.
This guy wants everything, and his heart is big.
However, this is also normal.
Liu Yuan is not the little director he used to be.
He is indeed missing a trophy now.
"Do you have a script?" Liu Yuan suddenly looked at Zhang Sheng and said, "Give it to me!" ”
"Where did I get the script for you?" Zhang Sheng pouted and said, "What's more, if it's given to you, you can shoot?" Let's wait for the post-production of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" to be completed. ”
Liu Yuan nodded and did not insist.
He was also afraid that he would be distracted by the new script.
Post-production of the film is still very important.
The post-production of "East Becomes West" is still going well.
The promotion of the film is also gradually unfolding.
There is still a month before the Spring Festival, and the advance trailer of "East Becomes West" was released.
The trailer is not long and does not involve the plot of the movie.
It's just a matter of announcing the image of the character played by the actor in the movie.
Wang Chongyang played by Zhang Sheng is very grandmaster.
Ouyang Feng, played by Deng Ming, has two mustaches, which is quite sinister and cunning.
And Hong Qi played by Wu Jie also looks like a master.
Huang Yaoshi is handsome.
It's just that why does Emperor Duan played by Peng Yuqian feel a little girly?
Of course, the most eye-catching is Zhou Botong played by Gu Sisi.
has a big waist and a round waist, and completely lacks Gu Sisi's slender figure.
That's how much clothes you're wearing inside!
Gu Sisi really dared to act.
How could Zhang Sheng let Gu Sisi play such a role?
Gu Sisi's fans had a lot of opinions and began to make a fuss.
Zhang Sheng is fans also made a fuss, and the Internet became lively.
Zhang Sheng did not immediately explain this.
Isn't that how the heat rises?
When the heat was about to fade, Gu Sisi immediately posted on Weibo to speak for Zhang Sheng.
Playing Zhou Botong is her own strong request.
Originally, Zhang Sheng wanted her to play the role of the third princess.
Her role was changed from Liu Yun.
Change?
So sloppy?
After the role is determined, it is rare to change the actor, but it is not impossible.
Interchangeable, there really isn't.
As for why it was changed?
Gu Sisi also explained.
One is that I think it is very interesting to play Zhou Botong in reverse, and I also challenge myself.
Another reason, she didn't say, just said that after the movie was released, everyone understood.
This topic is still very hot.
And the persistence is not low.
When this topic fades away, another topic breaks out.
Wu Jie once recommended himself and wanted to play Ouyang Feng, but Deng Ming took the lead.
And he starred in Hong Qi, which was recommended by Zhang Sheng, and the reason given was: not handsome!
Is Wu Jie handsome?
When I was young, I still had a comparison with today's little fresh meat.
And now?
It's hard to say.
Compared with Deng Ming and others, in terms of appearance, it seems that it is really lacking.
"Wu Jie is not handsome!"
This matter directly appeared on the hot search, and Wu Jie was so angry that he posted several photos of his former handsomeness.
Then, Zhang Sheng left a message under it: Here are a few photos of the present!
The meaning of this is obvious, and everyone can understand it.
However, Gu Sisi still "translated" for Zhang Sheng: These photos of yours can only prove that you were once handsome.
Handsome, that potential means that it's not handsome enough now.
Deng Ming and others also went down one after another and began to "fall into the ground" against Wu Jie.
Wu Jie's fans were watching the play, and they could naturally see that Deng Ming and the others had no malice at all, it was pure ridicule.
And the purpose?
Apparently it's just promoting the movie.
The publicity effect is still extremely good.
The later stages of "East Becomes West" were not difficult, so it didn't take long to make it.
The soundtrack of the film was made by Zhang Sheng based on the original version.
In addition, the theme song and interlude, Zhang Sheng used the original version.
He sang all the songs.
This can also attract many of his fans to the theater.
"How many films?" Zhang Sheng looked at Zhou Zhao and asked.
"Twenty-one percent." Zhou Zhao said, "This row of films should be very good." ”
"It's very good, indeed." Zhang Sheng nodded and said.
This is a lot higher than he expected.
Although "East Becomes West" has a strong star lineup, it is a bit "rushed" after all.
What's more, the movie with an all-star cast is not easy to make in itself.
The scenes are not easy to arrange.
And now movies rely on casts to attract fans, which is already a bit unreliable.
Fans pay more attention to the movie itself.
got such a film schedule, largely thanks to Zhang Sheng's previous reputation and the support of the theater chain.
Not only is Penglai's cinema line supported, Changsheng Entertainment has also invested a lot in the cinema line in the past two years, and now it has achieved initial results.
The movie itself is not very reassuring to fans.
"East Becomes West" is not the movie with the highest schedule during the Spring Festival.
However, the highest film schedule is only 22%.
A difference of one percent is naturally not a big difference.
And the film with the highest film schedule is a big production.
The cast is not as good as "East Becomes West", but the male and female protagonists are very box office appealing.
The director is also one of the most box office appealing directors in China, Sun Yihai.
And the film is a palace blockbuster: "The Palace Banquet"!
A film about power struggles, and palace coups.
The film ends with a grand war scene.
The film took several years to prepare, shoot, and release.
The investment is not small, and the production must be excellent.
The market is clearly more optimistic about this film.
However, if you talk about the expectations of fans, it may not be comparable to Zhang Sheng's "East Becomes West".
The publicity of this film is also very strong.
The publicity of "East Becomes West" has also been gradually strengthened.
There is still half a month before the Spring Festival, and the film held a publicity conference.
"Director Zhang, what do you think of the movie "East Becomes West"?" The reporter asked, "The box office of martial arts films is not as good as before, what are your expectations for the box office of this movie?" ”
"Martial arts films?" Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "I didn't say that this movie is a martial arts movie. ”
"Huh?"
As soon as Zhang Sheng's words came out, the reporters in the audience were all confused.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a martial arts drama that is almost known to the world.
So why is "East Becomes West" not a martial arts film?
The full name of this movie is called: "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
A movie adapted from a martial arts drama, not a martial arts drama?
Are you kidding us?
"The film is a comedy, I remember saying it before." Zhang Sheng said, "As for the evaluation? This movie, if you look at it from the perspective of a martial arts film, it is a bad movie. However, if you look at it from the perspective of a comedy, it should be a good comedy, at least the audience who watches this film will laugh. ”
Bad movie?
The media reporters at the scene were even more confused.
Martial arts films and comedies don't seem to conflict?
How so?
And it is not difficult to see from the trailer of the ultimate version that the action design of this movie is still very exciting.
Among them, the eighteen palms of the dragon and the toad gong are all displayed in the trailer, which is eye-catching.
The question is who would say that their movie is a bad movie?
Also, why does a comedy make it a good movie?
This science.
Is it possible that the quality of a movie can have different results according to the division of film genres?
"As for the box office of this movie, I'm still looking forward to it." Zhang Sheng said, "It's hard to say how much you can get." ”
This movie has the possibility of exploding, but it also has the possibility of pounce.
Whether it is explosive or fluttering, it is estimated that it depends on whether fans accept this style.
"Director Zhang has no confidence in the box office of this movie?" When a reporter heard this, he immediately asked, "Is the quality of the film affected because of the Spring Festival?" ”
"The quality of the film is definitely fine." Zhang Sheng said, "I won't ignore the quality of the film in order to catch up with the schedule. ”
"As for whether you have confidence in the box office of the film, it depends on how you say it." Zhang Sheng continued, "The film will not lose money, and this confidence is still there." But if you want to reach the box office of "Terminator" and "Resident Evil 2", then I really don't have any confidence. ”
Don't lose money?
How much can you afford to shoot this film?
Tens of millions of heavens, right?
This cost is estimated to be earned back at the box office on the first day.
"If you don't lose money, do you calculate the actor's salary?" The reporter asked, "If you don't count it, I'm afraid you won't lose money at the box office of one or two hundred million, right?" ”
"Of course!" Zhang Sheng said, "If they let them do it in vain, isn't it a loss of money?" ”
