"Farewell My Concubine" won an award in Cannes, and the popularity is amazing.

Today, the main creative team is still in Cannes and has never returned to China.

Zhang Sheng, who stayed in China, became the target of media pursuit.

Too many media outlets can't afford to make a temporary run to Cannes.

If you want to get relevant information, then Zhang Sheng is the best choice.

"Director Zhang, "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or at Cannes this year, how do you feel as a screenwriter?"

Media reporters blocked the door of Changsheng Entertainment and wanted to do an interview with Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng did not shy away.

Good thing, why avoid?

What's more, his albums are still selling well.

Showing your face can also play a promotional role in the album.

"What do you think? I'm glad that "Farewell My Concubine" won this award. Zhang Sheng said, "Director Zhang Wen deserves to be one of the best directors in China. Unfortunately, I didn't go to Cannes because of the album. ”

Zhang Sheng didn't go to Cannes, not just because of his album.

At this time, only mentioning this is obviously propaganda to see the seams.

After all, the album has been released for a while, and the popularity has declined.

"As we all know, Director Zhang's works are more box office-heavy, and they are all mainly commercial films, why did you write a script like "Farewell My Concubine" this time?"

A reporter asked many people about their doubts.

Zhang Sheng is good at commercial films.

The films he directed, and even wrote, were all commercial films.

But "Farewell My Concubine" is obviously a literary art.

How can a commercial film win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival?

""Farewell My Concubine" hasn't been released yet, so you know that the box office of this movie is not good?" Zhang Sheng said with a smile, "In addition, the works of my previous screenwriters are indeed heavier at the box office, mainly commercial films, but can the works of my screenwriters only be heavy at the box office?" Can it only be a commercial film? I'm going to have to try something else. ”

"Will the director of your new film also make such an attempt?"

Zhang Sheng's new film should be news soon.

This can be assumed from the past.

Well-informed reporters actually already know that Zhang Sheng's new film is in preparation.

If Zhang Sheng hadn't released a music album, it is estimated that his new films would have already started filming.

"My new film?" Zhang Sheng said, "My new film is a sci-fi blockbuster. ”

Sci-fi?

Is this better than science fiction films?

Zhang Sheng, except that his first movie "Baby Zhiduoxing" is a comedy.

After that, the films he directed were all science fiction films.

It's just that there are more or less sci-fi elements.

Well?

Wrong!

The reporters suddenly reacted.

Zhang Sheng is not talking about a science fiction film this time, but a science fiction blockbuster.

It seems that Zhang Sheng's film investment is bigger than the other.

The scene is also bigger than the other.

"How much is Director Zhang's new film expected to invest?"

A reporter asked.

"Seven, eight hundred million!" Zhang Sheng said, "It's still uncertain how much. ”

Seven, eight hundred million?

That's a bit amazing!

It has directly created the largest investment in domestic films.

And it's almost double that of the past.

If the box office is not 2 billion, I am afraid that I will not even be able to get the capital back.

And how many domestic box offices are two billion?

As soon as this news came out, it still attracted the attention of many people.

However, what fans are most concerned about now is the Cannes award of "Farewell My Concubine".

That's an international award.

This matter itself is highly topical, and with Penglai Film and Television behind it, the popularity is not only high, but also very long-lasting.

The first film invested and produced by Penglai Film and Television won the highest award in Cannes.

Just ask you if you are a cow or not?

This is of great significance to Penglai Film and Television.

They were also an instant hit.

Although the screenwriter of this movie is Zhang Sheng, Changsheng Entertainment is also one of the investors.

But the dominant one is Penglai Film and Television.

The director is, the team is.

The first film won such an honor.

It's off to a good start.

Not long after, Zhang Wen, Gu Sisi and others returned to China.

Its popularity goes even further.

And the promotion of the film began immediately.

Taking advantage of the popularity of the award, "Farewell My Concubine" is scheduled to be released in early June, before "I Am Not the God of Medicine".

Why is it in such a hurry to be released?

In addition to the popularity of "Farewell My Concubine" winning the Cannes Palme d'Or, which can save a lot of publicity costs, I am afraid that it is related to the fact that distributors such as Penglai Film and Television are not optimistic about the box office of this movie.

If it is released on other schedules, the competitors are strong, and it is inevitable that it will not be able to do it with its box office competitiveness.

Of course, there must be other reasons.

The release at this time must be the result of a combination of many factors.

The movie is about to be released, and Gu Sisi is busy promoting it after returning to China.

Zhang Sheng didn't show up much as a screenwriter.

He was just the screenwriter of the film.

If the movie doesn't win an award, he really doesn't mind more publicity.

The main cast of "Inception" is gradually determined.

Dream Thief is played by Jiang Bin.

The Dream Builder is played by Gu Sisi.

Peng Yuqian plays the role of the male No. 2 sentinel.

Shen Bo plays the pretender.

Nowadays, Shen Bo does not appear in many movies of Changsheng Entertainment, but he also has a lot of resources.

Changsheng Entertainment has won a lot of film contracts for him.

His development is not worse than that of Wang Jun.

It's just that he doesn't have a series of movies like Wang Jun.

In the field of film, he is not necessarily worse than Peng Yuqian.

Maybe it's better.

This time he starred in a supporting role in "Inception", and he lost points without identity.

After all, Jiang Bin, the protagonist of this movie, has a lot more wrists than him.

This is also the second time Shen Bo has starred in Zhang Sheng's movie.

is still a supporting role.

The first one he starred in was one of the stupid thieves in "Baby Zhiduoxing".

For the role of Phantom, Zhang Sheng did not use Wen Feifei and other Changsheng Entertainment's contracted artists.

They were a little too young.

Of course, the most important thing is that the acting skills are not enough.

plays with Jiang Bin, if he is pressed too fiercely, the role will be ruined.

Liu Yun, who has the best acting skills among them, may be a little overwhelmed in front of Jiang Bin.

The acting skills and age are immature, and it is obviously inappropriate to play with Jiang Bin.

Therefore, Zhang Sheng invited Gao Yue.

Needless to say, Gao Yue's acting skills are naturally going to happen, she and Jiang Bin play opposite each other, and maybe they will collide with an amazing cremation.

In addition, although Gao Yue is not a signed artist of Changsheng Entertainment, the two sides have cooperated a lot and are very pleasant.

As for the role of the tycoon in the original film.

Zhang Sheng was changed from a Japanese tycoon to an American tycoon.

Cobb is also Chinese-American.

If it is a domestic background, some plots seem less reasonable.

In addition, the tycoon's target was changed to the heir of a certain Japanese foundation.

It is not a smear or provocation to make American tycoons so jealous and not hesitate to compete by "implanting" an idea.

The threat posed by the Japanese consortium to American capital was not made up by Zhang Sheng.

Their rivalry is probably much bloodier than this.

Whatever the reason.

The role of American tycoon, Zhang Sheng, invited a well-known third-tier actor in Hollywood.

The kind that used to be very popular.

The target is a Japanese actor.

It is also well-known in Japan.

This role can also be played by domestic actors.

However, Zhang Sheng's invitation to Japanese actors was obviously considered from the market.

When the domestic film market was not rising, Japan was the second largest film market in the world.

Even if it is now in third place, it cannot be ignored.

The reason why Zhang Sheng thinks about it so is nothing more than that "The Terminator" has tasted the sweetness.

That movie was a big box office in Japan.

In addition, there is also a role of pharmacist, Zhang Sheng gave Miao Hua, a subsidiary of Huanna Film and Television.

He once played Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Nowadays, the popularity is not low, but it is not more developed in the TV circle.

It is estimated that he also wants to use this movie to step into the film industry.

As for the other characters, it is less important.

There's no need to rush it.

The main actors are confirmed, but there are still a lot of things to prepare for the film.

However, Changsheng Entertainment is now gradually improving, preparing in an orderly manner.

In early June, "Farewell My Concubine" was released.

Zhang Sheng attended the premiere of the film.

Zhang Sheng actually doesn't like this kind of film.

But he does not deny the classics of this film.

Zhang Wen's version of "Farewell My Concubine" is somewhat different from the original.

However, it is difficult to say which is better or worse.

Of course, in terms of production, it must be much better than the original.

After all, the shooting technology, shooting equipment, etc., are not comparable to the original.

The picture quality is obviously much better than the original.

The film has an amazing reputation.

The movie network scored 9.7.

This was not expected by many people.

After all, if you win the top prize in Cannes, how can the reputation be bad.

You can not like it, but you can't say that he is bad.

Because this movie has won glory for Chinese films.

No one is worried about word-of-mouth, but the box office is different.

After all, it is a literary film.

This kind of film is really not very popular with fans.

However, because there are no competitive films in the same schedule, coupled with the popularity of the film, and the strength of the distributor.

"Farewell My Concubine" premiered and won 36% of the film schedule.

This is definitely a very high film schedule, and it definitely broke the record of literary films.

However, this movie has Gu Sisi starring, and Zhang Sheng is also writing the screenplay.

There is another gimmick of an international award, and fans are still looking forward to it.

Zhang Sheng and Gu Sisi's fans can support a wave.

On the first day of release, the box office exceeded 200 million.

This is something that many people expected.

How?

That depends on how it goes.

arranged the film like this, and won 200 million on the first day, which is obviously a lot worse than other movies written by Zhang Sheng.

But this box office broke the single-day box office record for literary films.

It has even doubled.

Whether it is Zhang Sheng or Penglai Film and Television, they are still very satisfied with this box office.

Although the box office fell a lot the next day, it was already very good.

The box office estimate for this movie on the Internet is nearly one billion.

Although it did not break one billion, it is a literary film, which is undoubtedly an unprecedented box office.

Some commercial films with a lot of investment may not have such a high box office.

And the investment in this film is actually not large.

Among the actors, Gu Sisi has the highest salary, and he wants a friendship price.

In addition, the biggest expenditure is estimated to be on filming and production.

When it comes to calculations, the investment in this movie is no more than 100 million, less than 200 million.

200 million on the first day.

More than 300 million in two days.

Nearly 500 million in three days.

This is already back to basics.

may not make as much money as the previous movies written by Zhang Sheng.

But this movie is amazing in terms of awards!

This can be regarded as a movie with double box office awards.
