Chapter 434: Breaking Your Own Record is the Most Interesting
Will "Despicable Me" be boycotted by domestic fans because the character design is a Westerner?
Perhaps!
If you have nothing to say, it is really possible to be boycotted by someone with a heart.
But Zhang Sheng has something to say now!
What's more, Changsheng Entertainment's public relations department is not a vegetarian.
"Despicable Me" tells the story of Gru the Thief, who uses three orphaned girls as pawns in his great plan to steal the moon, until he discovers that their innocent love has profoundly changed him.
Who is the main character, Gru?
That's a big badass.
Although this villain is not that annoying.
But a bad guy is a bad guy.
What's more, this movie is set in the West.
He stole the big screen in Times Square, a miniature version of the Statue of Liberty in Las Vegas, and a miniature version of the Eiffel Tower.
Right!
Zhang Sheng didn't plan to change these plots.
Those things, Zhang Sheng did not replace them with landmark buildings in Huaguo.
Zhang Sheng didn't think about it.
In the end, though, I gave up.
To put it bluntly, this movie is more like being made out to make money from foreign fans.
Domestic nature is not spared.
He doesn't think that if he puts the background in the West, domestic fans will boycott the movie.
In the previous life, "Kung Fu Panda" became a Hollywood movie.
Nowadays, why can't Chinese-language animated films be set in the West?
Earn their money with their things, maybe that money is more fragrant.
"This movie is not in a hurry, I will talk about it when you come back from your wedding honeymoon." Zhang Sheng said.
"What a honeymoon!" Yang Qi said, "Wanxin is nothing fake. She sometimes has to go to the hospital in the middle of the night, and a few days off is good. ”
Zhang Sheng didn't say anything and patted Yang Qi on the shoulder.
This is true not only for doctors, but also for police, firefighters, etc.
It's not bad to think about it in the entertainment industry.
When you want to take a break, you can also vacate the schedule in advance.
Of course, the premise is that you can be independent of what you schedule.
Well, after you can be autonomous, you have to dare to do this.
More celebrities, even if they can decide their own schedules, I am afraid that they will not dare to rest for too long, for fear that they will be replaced after a long time and their resources will be taken away.
Zhang Sheng and Gu Sisi obviously have no concerns in this regard.
They disappeared from the public for a few months, and when they reappeared, they were still them, and their resources would not be less.
Of course, there is also a kind of star who wants to rest for as long as he wants.
That's cool.
"Kung Fu Panda" was drawn, and the promotion of "Truman's World" was also on the right track.
Zhang Sheng did not participate in the promotion of the film.
Even if he is the screenwriter of this movie.
The movie directed by Liu Yuan does not need Zhang Sheng, the screenwriter, to come forward at all.
However, his screenwriting is very appealing at the box office, and it is naturally a focus of publicity when he is promoted.
The expectations of fans of this movie are still very high.
Directed by Liu Yuan, written by Zhang Sheng, starring Deng Ming, Shen Bo and others.
This movie is the hottest movie in the National Day file.
Needless to say, the film schedule or something is definitely the first.
"It is said on the Internet that this year's annual box office of Changsheng Entertainment is going to break the record." Gu Sisi said to Zhang Sheng with a smile.
A domestic film and television company, the highest annual box office record is Changsheng Entertainment.
There should be a breakthrough this year.
There are quite a few movies released, and they all seem to be amazing at the box office.
The Spring Festival file "Detective Chinatown 2", the May Day file "Ex", and the summer file "Kung Fu Panda".
The movies released are not counting the foreign box office of tens of billions.
Then the blockbuster "Truman's World" released on the National Day file will not be bad with today's popularity.
A company's domestic box office of more than 10 billion accounts for almost one-fifth of the domestic annual box office.
How many domestic film and television companies are there?
There are more than five first-class companies.
It is conceivable how fierce Changsheng Entertainment is at the box office.
This is just counting the shooting led by Changsheng Entertainment.
If you include those who are involved in investment, it is even more.
If it weren't for the fact that the Christmas and New Year's Day schedule was too tight with the Spring Festival, it is estimated that this record would have risen a lot.
After all, Changsheng Entertainment will have one more blockbuster movie to be released.
"What if you break the record?" Zhang Sheng said, "It's just that I broke my own record, and it doesn't make much sense." ”
"Look at what you can. Breaking your own record, that's the most interesting. Gu Sisi asked, "This year, Changsheng Entertainment's profit should exceed 10 billion, right?" ”
"How is that possible!" Zhang Sheng shook his head and said, "The box office of the movie exceeded 10 billion, and with the foreign box office, the profit reached billions." But the others are a little worse. ”
"Although TV, variety shows, music, animation, etc. are also profitable, they are relatively much worse." Zhang Sheng shook his head and said, "What's more, the expenses are also very large. ”
The TV is basically two a year, but the profitability is not amazing.
Variety shows and music have declined compared with previous years.
Animation is a new profit, but it hasn't started to explode yet.
"Where's the movie peripheral?" Gu Sisi said, "The theater should also start to make a profit, right?" ”
"That's not enough." Zhang Sheng said, "I don't know the specifics. ”
Zhang Sheng naturally has concerns about the company's finances.
However, he doesn't pay much attention to it either.
"I didn't expect that in a short period of time, Changsheng Entertainment has grown to such an extent." Gu Sisi said, "Now that I think about it, I really underestimated you at the beginning. ”
"Really?" Zhang Sheng smiled.
He naturally knew that Gu Sisi was attracted to him not because he was capable, but because he was handsome and talented enough.
Being talented and having the ability are two different things.
"At the end of the month, Yang Qi gets married, you should be free, right?" Zhang Sheng then asked, "Let's go together?" ”
"No problem." Gu Sisi nodded and said with a smile, "You probably have to give a big red envelope." ”
"What's the difference between giving more and giving less?" Zhang Sheng said, "Won't he have to come back next year?" Who let him marry in front? ”
Gu Sisi paused for a moment, and then reacted.
Whether that's the case.
As much as they give, Yang Qi is estimated to receive the same red envelope next year.
But if Yang Qi gets married after them, then it makes sense for Zhang Sheng to take a bigger red envelope as the boss.
"Can't you tell him?" Gu Sisi said.
"What do you say about this kind of thing?" Zhang Sheng said, "Tell him that when I get married, it's good to have a little money, don't give too much?" Don't you look down on people? No matter how much you give, it's a blessing. You either don't take it all, you can't say you take less, and you can't ask someone to give less. ”
It seems to make sense.
Gu Sisi smiled dumbly and said no more.
Yang Qi got married and was in Yanjing.
The wedding was low-key and not large.
However, it is also very lively.
Zhang Sheng and Gu Sisi came, and the people of Changsheng Entertainment also came.
It's not as bright as the stars, but there are still a lot of stars.
Hu Wanxin's appearance is not beautiful, but she belongs to the intriguing person.
However, above the wedding, as a bride, she is the most beautiful person.
The doctor's vacation is not long, even if it is a marriage.
Of course, that depends on what kind of doctor it is.
Hu Wanxin's vacation was not long, so after Yang Qi got married, she soon returned to the company and started working.
Changsheng Entertainment's new animated film project was established, and it was aimed at the international film market, which immediately attracted countless investors.
As for the final participation of those investors, Zhang Sheng did not ask.
The people in the company are able to handle it.
Those people may make money, but Changsheng Entertainment will not lose.
In addition to being busy with the later stages of "Transformers" and discussing "Despicable Me" with Yang Qi, Zhang Sheng also has some miscellaneous things.
It's relatively less hectic.
On September 30, "Truman's World" premiered.
Zhang Sheng, Gu Sisi and many other people from the company attended the premiere of the film.
Naturally, there are a lot of people in the circle.
Now Jiang Bin and others, who are often in contact with Zhang Sheng, are also here.
Liu Yuan can also be regarded as a person in their circle.
It's also a good thing to do.
There is nothing strange about the entertainment industry, the film industry, and the circle within the circle.
Like Zhang Sheng, their current circle is basically the top in the entertainment industry.
Bigwigs gathered.
As long as you don't die yourself, you basically can't die.
Their circle not only has top directors, capital, but also official connections.
Zhang Sheng was pulled in by Jiang Bin.
He also has the qualifications to enter.
Liu Yuan was pulled in by Zhang Sheng.
Liu Yuan's results are also fully qualified to enter the circle.
Of course, the circle is not qualified to enter.
At the premiere, Zhang Sheng, as the main creator of the movie, naturally stood on the stage.
I don't usually participate in publicity, but I should participate in the premiere.
"If one day, you find yourself living a well-choreographed script. Familiar people are hired actors, and the scenes of life are the stages that are built. ”
"You're going to pretend not to know, and continue to be muddled in the familiar unreal; Or is it desperate to break through the cage and search for the truth in an unfamiliar reality? ”
"After watching the movie "Truman's World", you may start to think about this question."
"I've written a lot of scripts, and there's a lack of brain-opening ones. This movie is also very brainy, it should be more than just a brain hole. This movie actually speaks to the lives of countless people! ”
"If there are movies that you must watch in life, then I personally think "Truman's World" is one of them."
Zhang Sheng was talking eloquently on stage, but Jiang Bin and others showed surprise offstage.
"He seems to have a high opinion of this movie!" Zhang Guohua said with some surprise.
Zhang Sheng has always been "humble", and people in the circle are well known.
In many things, Zhang Sheng has room to speak.
He commented on "Truman's World" like this, and he is not afraid of word-of-mouth hitting the streets!
One of the must-see movies in life.
This evaluation is not something that ordinary movies can afford.
Didn't he say that? Personally, I think. Jiang Bin said, "However, he seems to be very confident in the reputation of this movie." ”
"Director Liu's movies seem to have a good reputation." Chen Jinghua said, "It's just that I hear how do I feel that this movie is not a commercial blockbuster, but a literary film?" ”
"Commercial films can't talk about life?" Jiang Bin said, "What's more, the literary films he wrote seem to be amazing at the box office, right?" ”
Isn't the highest box office record of literary films "Farewell My Concubine" written by Zhang Sheng?
There are not two literary films with a box office of more than 500 million, let alone one billion.
