Chapter 400: Detonating the Domestic Animated Film Market?
"Duan Hongming!"
Jiang Bin said the name, but Zhang Sheng froze.
I haven't heard of it at all.
Is there such a director in the circle?
Even if there is, it is estimated that it is not well known.
Because of the director with a name and surname, Zhang Sheng has some impressions.
After all, it is a circle of people.
"He used to hang out in Hollywood." Jiang Bin said, "Now that I have returned to China, I have made a film called "Wormhole". The movie didn't make it to theaters, but it was interesting. Of course, I recommend him mainly because he has worked with several adventure film teams in Hollywood, and has served as an assistant director and executive director. ”
"Really?" Zhang Sheng said, "Then I'll let Lao Lu and them get in touch." ”
Although there are no works that can be mastered, such a resume is indeed appropriate.
However, in the end, Zhang Sheng did not give Jiang Bin exact news.
Jiang Bin naturally has no opinion on this.
Zhang Sheng can let Lu Wenhua contact Duan Hongming, which is already very face-saving.
As for whether to use it or not, I'm afraid it depends on the meaning of Changsheng Entertainment Company.
Zhang Sheng's meaning is not the meaning of Changsheng Entertainment.
Even his biggest boss is somewhat different.
"I've seen the movie 'Wormhole'." Gu Sisi said, "A small-budget film, but the quality is good. ”
"Then I'll have to find it later." Zhang Sheng nodded.
A small-budget movie is recognized by both Jiang Bin and Gu Sisi, and that is a kind of ability.
This person should be a capable director.
Filming continues.
Within a few days, Lu Wenhua came to the crew.
"Suitable! It's a good fit! ”
When Lu Wenhua saw Zhang Sheng, he directly told the answer.
Zhang Sheng heard it, but he was not surprised.
The person recommended by Jiang Bin should not be bad.
Lu Wenhua is satisfied with it, and it is reasonable.
It's just that Zhang Sheng didn't expect Lu Wenhua to seem very satisfied with it.
Zhang Sheng was a little interested in it.
Talent is rare.
There are really not many directors in the domestic director circle who have Hollywood experience.
Zhang Sheng didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it.
Hollywood leads the world.
There are many things worth learning from the domestic film and television industry.
Zhang Sheng is looking forward to the movies of the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Tomb Robbery Notes" series.
He also wants to bring it to the big screen as soon as possible.
"He hasn't signed to any company yet." Lu Wenhua said, "Lao Zhou talked to him and wanted to sign him into the company. ”
"Refused?" Zhang Sheng asked.
If you can sign in with the company, that's the best.
Lu Wenhua mentioned this, probably because the other party refused.
If you don't refuse, there's no need to say it.
Say, that's about movies.
So should he continue to direct "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?
Zhou Zhao wanted to use this to get Duan Hongming and take the opportunity to sign him into Changsheng Entertainment.
Unfortunately, it didn't work out.
This has undoubtedly made a difference in the cooperation between the two sides.
"Hmm!" Lu Wenhua nodded and said, "Duan Hongming seems to want to get his own studio, and he doesn't have the idea of signing a contract with that company." ”
"Lao Zhou is against cooperating with him?" Zhang Sheng asked, "It's naturally good to join the company, but you can cooperate without joining the company!" It's not that Changsheng Entertainment hasn't worked with directors outside the company. ”
"He didn't object, he just suggested and waited." Lu Wenhua said, "Next year, "Terminator 2" and "Resident Evil 3" will start filming, and you and Lao Liu may also have films. The film "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is not in a hurry, and the influence of related online dramas has not yet reached its peak. ”
Zhou Zhao didn't give up!
I want to cool off each other.
Series such as "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" should be very attractive to Duan Hongming.
And now Duan Hongming just needs a good movie to prove himself.
"What about your opinion?" Zhang Sheng asked.
"You can put it away." Lu Wenhua said, "In fact, he is not the only one in China. ”
"Then wait." Zhang Sheng nodded and said.
The company's stall is already large.
In addition to movies, music, variety shows, and TV series all occupy a lot of the company's manpower and material resources.
If you make too many films, you will inevitably not be able to take care of them.
It's not the same as just investing in a film.
Of course, Zhang Sheng supports, in fact, together with Zhou Zhao and them, they have the idea of signing Duan Hongming into the company.
Hong Ming had just returned to China that period, and a small-budget movie was successful again, although he had not yet become famous, he was arrogant and had not been beaten by society.
Are there any directors who set up a studio?
Yes.
For example, Xu Rui and others have their own film studios.
But which one of Xu Rui and others is not a first-line or even top-level director in China?
Of course, it's not that those who are less famous can't set up a film studio.
The question is how much investment do you get?
Just like this time, you are not famous, and you are not the company's contracted director, why should Changsheng Entertainment hand over a blockbuster to you?
Lu Wenhua came to the crew, naturally not only to talk to Zhang Sheng about Duan Hongming.
He is also the general producer of the film.
"'My Sassy Girlfriend' is finished." Lu Wenhua said, "The company discussed that this movie will be released on Christmas and New Year's Day better than the Spring Festival." ”
"Then it will be released on Christmas and New Year's Day!" Zhang Sheng said, "I said before that the animated movie is more suitable for the Spring Festival." ”
Lu Wenhua smiled.
The only person who has confidence in that animated movie is you, Zhang Sheng.
Lu Wenhua is not very optimistic about the animated movie.
There is no way, the highest box office of domestic animation is only more than 500 million.
The box office also benefited from the fact that it was adapted from a big domestic IP, and it has a very large audience.
And the company's animated film, although adapted from myths and legends, is indeed a completely new story.
Especially the character image feels like one word: ugly!
There are many times in the Spring Festival stalls of animated movies, but almost all of them have become cannon fodder.
Lu Wenhua has no confidence in that movie, so he doesn't think Zhang Sheng's script is bad.
It's that domestic fans don't have confidence in domestic animated films.
In addition, the box office of Hollywood animated films in China is actually not ideal.
Although it is much higher than the box office of domestic animated films.
But compared with foreign movies, it is a lot worse.
"We'll see!" Zhang Sheng said, "I believe that the domestic animated film market is very large. ”
Lu Wenhua smiled and did not refute.
Zhang Sheng's vision in the film market is indeed speechless.
Everyone was not optimistic, but everyone was slapped in the face.
The film continues to be filmed.
After filming in the studio, the filming in the studio began.
The exterior was shot at the end.
This movie has a lot of action scenes.
The action design refers to the original, with a lot of upgrades.
Jiang Bin is the oldest, but his physical fitness is very good.
His movements are not too difficult.
Relatively speaking, Peng Yuqian's movements are much more difficult.
The filming of "Inception" is more difficult than Zhang Sheng's previous films.
However, after Zhang Sheng's training after several movies, his directing ability has improved by leaps and bounds.
Of course, this is inseparable from his own talent and hard work.
The movie is not handy, but it also does not feel powerless.
Jiang Bin didn't dominate the crowd, but some professional habits couldn't be changed.
Zhang Sheng has no objection to this.
Each other.
People confiscated the money, so if it is calculated, he still earns it.
Of course, it is mainly Jiang Bin's suggestion, and sometimes it falls on the idea.
At the end of November, Shen Bo, who had been filming for more than two months, finished the scene.
Then I couldn't wait to fly to the United States.
"Detective Chinatown 2" has already started, and Liu Yuan has urged him several times.
"was pierced by his own artist, and it was still his own company's play." Gu Sisi looked at Zhang Sheng and said, "How do you feel?" ”
Her smile seemed to be a little gloating, and there was a little resentment.
In order to let Shen Bo's scene be completed as soon as possible, Zhang Sheng adjusted the shooting plan several times.
even delayed the shooting of his own film because of this.
Gu Sisi was naturally also affected.
Her schedule is very full.
"I didn't expect that guy Liu Yuan to move so fast, "Detective Chinatown 2" started nearly a month earlier than expected!" Zhang Sheng shook his head and said, "Otherwise, according to the previous plan, this situation does not exist at all." ”
Zhang Sheng is suffering words.
After all, Shen Bo starred in the movie "Detective Chinatown 2", and Liu Yuan greeted him in advance.
He agreed, too.
It's just that I didn't expect Liu Yuan's movie to start ahead of schedule.
And what can he do?
is the same as Gu Sisi said, his own artists are playing, and they are still playing their own company's plays.
There is no way, then I can only find a way to solve it.
Liu Yuan's guy is now in the United States, and he can't find anyone even if he wants to scold.
If you don't adjust the filming plan, will you let the crew of "Detective Chinatown 2" wait in the United States.
That's a big loss.
"Director Liu should have misestimated the filming progress of our movie, right?" Gu Sisi said.
Zhang Sheng opened his mouth and finally sighed.
The filming of "Inception" was indeed a little slower than expected.
And the responsibility lies with Zhang Sheng.
He's too lean.
Although the preparation is sufficient, it is impossible to be exhaustive, and it is inevitable that there is no place to take into account.
Temporary changes will be encountered by any crew.
This is also where Zhang Sheng is depressed.
If it weren't for the slower shooting progress than expected, although Liu Yuanlai needed to adjust the shooting plan, it would not really affect his own shooting.
The lesser of two harmfuls.
He delayed some time here, and the loss was not as high as Liu Yuan's.
"This year, Changsheng Entertainment should be another bumper year, right?" Gu Sisi said, "I heard that there is another movie released on Christmas and New Year's Day? ”
"A low-budget romance." Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "It's hard to say how the box office is." Relatively speaking, I am more optimistic about the animated movie released during the Spring Festival. ”
Zhang Sheng has high hopes for that movie.
There is no need to have a box office like the original, as long as there is half, it can detonate the domestic animated film market.
Because that movie is called: "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World"!
The original box office of this movie seems to have broken 500,000.
Half of the box office, that's more than two billion.
This box office can be in the top few of the total box office.
Such a box office, if it can't detonate the domestic animated film market, then it can't be said.
What's more, if the prelude to the rise of domestic film animation is kicked off, the film is likely to become an image-level movie, and the box office can be imagined.
