Chapter 405: Where Do I Know?

Changsheng Entertainment's movies all make money.

It's not just movies that make money.

Music, TV, and variety shows all make money, but they are not as exaggerated as movies.

The box office of the movie invested and produced by Changsheng Entertainment is too amazing.

And the investment doesn't seem to be that big either.

For example, "Wolf Warrior 2", "Terminator", etc., among which films like "East Becomes West" and "My Sassy Girlfriend" have a smaller investment.

"East Becomes West" is easy to say.

Although the investment in this film is small, it is an all-star cast, and the actors receive dividends.

Changsheng Entertainment accounts for a relatively small amount.

But what about "My Sassy Girlfriend"?

This movie was released on Christmas and New Year's Day, and the Spring Festival file was not drawn, and it also won some films.

When the box office was at its highest, it even squeezed into the fifth place in the single-day box office list.

And now the box office of this movie has exceeded three billion.

It was also broken before "Nezha", becoming the fifth movie to break 3 billion.

A low-cost romance film with an investment of tens of millions directly won more than 3 billion at the box office.

This has undoubtedly stimulated the nerves of many people.

And because the investment is small, there is no investment at all, and it is all invested by Changsheng Entertainment.

And this movie has been released in other countries and regions abroad, and judging from the box office response, it is also very good.

This is especially true in Asia, where Japan and South Korea are on fire.

"Nezha" is still hot at the box office, and "My Sassy Girlfriend" has exhausted its potential after the Lantern Festival, and the next painting is imminent.

The shortlists for the Music Festival, the Golden Eagle Award, and the Golden Dragon Award were announced immediately.

Zhang Sheng didn't pay much attention to the first two.

However, they were also invited.

Last year, I didn't participate in the MV of the album because I was shooting outside.

This year is definitely a big deal.

What's more, at the music festival, Zhang Shengnai was the musician with the most nominations.

And his album was also shortlisted for the Best Album award.

The call for the award is the highest.

This year's Golden Eagle Award Zhang Sheng was not shortlisted.

Changsheng Entertainment's TV series have been shortlisted for awards.

However, it is relatively not so impressive.

In this year's Golden Dragon Awards, Changsheng Entertainment changed its attributes of soy sauce in the past and won many nominations.

"My Sassy Girlfriend" Liang Sen was shortlisted for the Best New Director Award.

Wen Feifei was nominated for Best Actress for her discrediting role in this movie.

As for whether you can win the prize, it's hard to say.

Changsheng Entertainment has performed at this Golden Dragon Awards, and the hope is obviously in Liu Yuan's "I Am Not the God of Medicine".

Not only does this film have a good reputation, but it also has an amazing box office.

is now ranked fourth in the total box office list, but it will soon be surpassed by "Nezha" and ranked fifth.

The film was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Cut.

However, compared to "Farewell My Concubine", it is obviously a little worse.

"Farewell My Concubine" won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, as well as Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, etc.

This film is the biggest hit of this Golden Dragon Awards.

"Alas, I was born at the wrong time!"

Liu Yuan sighed and said with some sighs.

When the shortlist of the Golden Dragon Award was announced, he was inevitably a little depressed.

There is a lot of overlap between the shortlisted award of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" and "Farewell My Concubine".

He clearly had no confidence.

"It's not unlikely, you're going to win the best director."

Zhang Sheng thought about it, comforted him, and said.

Lu Wenhua also nodded, seemingly agreeing with Zhang Sheng's statement.

"Divide the cake?"

Liu Yuan paused for a moment, and the dead heart was instantly resurrected.

It doesn't have to be impossible.

In terms of influence, in the international arena, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" will definitely not be able to win the Cannes Palme d'Or "Farewell My Concubine", but in terms of domestic influence, then "Farewell My Concubine" is a little inferior.

Liu Yuan's film affects the national medical insurance policy.

It's pretty much the same as the original.

After all, this movie has attracted heated discussions among the whole people.

As for which of the two films is better or worse, it is difficult to say.

The benevolent see the benevolent.

"There's nothing wrong with that understanding." Zhang Sheng said, "There is a great possibility that "Farewell My Concubine" will win this best film. "I Am Not the God of Medicine" has a great influence, and it is impossible for the judges not to consider it. ”

"Wouldn't it be cruel for you to give him hope, and if he is disappointed when the time comes?" Zhou Zhao said with a smile.

Is it possible to win a prize?

Yes.

That's only possible.

Obviously, there is also a possibility that you will not win the prize.

Who knows?

"It doesn't matter if you win the award or not, if you lose, it's a crime of non-war." Liu Yuan said, "At least at the box office, director Zhang Wen's movie was beaten." ”

"Nowadays, a lot of companies have approached us to participate in our films." Zhou Zhao said, "It seems that no matter what movie, they are willing to vote." ”

Speaking of the box office, Zhou Zhao casually talked about it.

Changsheng Entertainment is not short of funds.

After all, the profit is amazing, even if you invest in theaters, film and television peripherals, etc., you still have sufficient funds.

If you have money, you don't necessarily refuse to invest in other companies.

"There's nothing strange about it." Lu Wenhua said, "The top ten on the domestic box office list are almost all our company's movies, and many of them are small and big. It's normal for other film and television companies to want to eat a piece of meat and drink soup. ”

"Wolf Warrior 2" topped the list with a box office of more than 5 billion.

Second, it is estimated that it is still in theaters "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World".

This movie should be the second film to break the box office of four billion.

The third is "The Terminator", the fourth "Starry Night", the fifth "I Am Not the God of Medicine", the sixth "My Savage Girlfriend", and the box office of "East Becomes West" and "Resident Evil 2" exceeded 2 billion, naturally entering the top ten.

"Who would have thought that an animated movie would be so explosive at the box office!"

Liu Yuan also said with some sighs.

However, when he said this, everyone looked at Zhang Sheng at the same time.

Who thought of it?

Zhang Sheng thought of it.

Before the release of the film, Zhang Sheng once said that less than 2 billion is a failure.

This shows that he is optimistic about this movie.

Does Zhang Sheng have such a vision?

There's a fart.

The reason why he said that was entirely because of the high box office of the original version.

The box office of the original version broke 5 billion, and the remake or copied it, if it didn't even have 2 billion, what was it not a failure?

Although Zhang Sheng's box office estimation ability has improved, it is just like that.

However, each time it was much lower than it actually was.

"What is the expected box office of Inception?" Zhou Zhao suddenly looked at Zhang Sheng and asked.

Changsheng Entertainment's highlight today is naturally this movie.

The film invested more than 800 million.

Some additional investment was made for post-production special effects.

"How do I know?" Zhang Sheng shook his head and said.

"If you say a billion or something, we can also have peace of mind!" Zhou Zhao said, "I don't know what's going on? It's not a media reporter who asked you. ”

"Billion?" Liu Yuan was puzzled, "That movie invested more than 800 million yuan, and it can't get back without a box office of more than 200 million, right?" A billion can be safe? ”

"Wasn't his estimated box office much lower than the actual box office?" Lu Wenhua said lightly, "If he says one billion, is the box office still stable at two billion?" ”

When Liu Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but nod.

It seems to be true.

"Billion, do you need me to say?" Zhang Sheng pouted and said, "Just the names of me and Director Jiang should be worth this box office, right?" ”

As for his ability to estimate the box office, he was ridiculed and directly ignored by him.

How can you refute this?

When Zhou Zhao and the others heard this, they smiled dumbly.

That's true.

Zhang Sheng and Jiang Bin are definitely the most box office appealing existences in China.

The two of them cooperated, and the billion-dollar box office was really stable.

Both are known for their quality and are trusted by fans.

"It's time for the animation department to invest more." Zhou Zhao said, "The fire of "Nezha" is not only the animated film market, but also the animation market. We have opened up its market, and we can't let other film and television companies pick peaches. ”

"Hmm!"

Zhang Sheng nodded.

Are cartoons unprofitable?

Certainly not low.

Think of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", think of "Bear Infested", etc.

Not only are cartoons popular, but related movies are also being made one after another, as well as film and television peripherals.

However, Zhang Sheng did not plan to make these cartoons out by himself.

Give a creative idea, or an idea, and the company will naturally have someone to solve.

What's more, Zhang Shengzhen hasn't watched a few episodes.

He is more interested in animated films.

It is inevitable to increase investment.

Zhang Sheng had this idea before, but Zhou Zhao and the others were not very optimistic.

He didn't insist too much.

He's not sure if the world's animated film market is what he suspected.

Other film and television companies will definitely enter the market.

But Changsheng Entertainment has already established a reputation with a "Nezha", and naturally has a great advantage.

As long as the back does not pull the crotch, then Changsheng Entertainment's animated films will become a benchmark and be recognized by fans.

"I am ready to enter the international film market for the next film of the company." Zhang Sheng said.

"Huh?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Sheng in surprise.

Is "Nezha" popular?

There is no doubt about it in China.

Can it be put abroad?

I'm afraid not necessarily.

Not to mention anything else, there are many things that foreign fans may not understand.

Some dialogues are even difficult to translate.

In the previous life, netizens asked how to translate "Hurry as a Law".

Although it seems to be ridiculing, from another aspect, it is not saying that this movie is abroad, and it is likely to be unadaptable.

How can a movie that you can't understand become popular?

Is there anything in Zhang Sheng's mind that is suitable for foreign fans?

Yes!

And a lot.

Wouldn't it be enough to get out the animated movies that were global hits in Hollywood in the previous life.

Then there is no such thing as adaptation.

And the first thing that Zhang Sheng thought of was: "Kung Fu Panda"!

Therefore, Changsheng Entertainment's next animated movie will shoot this.

Kung Fu is the quintessence of China.

The panda is a national treasure of China.

The combination of the two has made a movie that has become a global hit, but it has nothing to do with the Chinese film and television industry.

You can imagine how ironic it is.

Hollywood makes a movie out of Chinese stuff, and then earns money from Chinese fans.

And the movie belongs to China has nothing to do with China.

Isn't that irony?

So Zhang Sheng is shooting now, what is that?

Cultural Export!
