Chapter 439: The game, that's also the movie peripheral
Historical suspense, court intrigue.
There aren't many such movies, but they're not none.
However, this kind of TV series seems to be quite popular at a certain stage.
Zhang Sheng originally wanted to shoot "Langya Bang" but failed to do so, largely because this kind of TV series was filmed a little overwhelmed.
Chinese filmmakers like to shoot history, and it seems that they don't just talk about it.
Liu Yuan was entangled, and Zhang Sheng naturally understood.
People who have succeeded continuously want to be successful all the time.
So they are more cautious.
This kind of person is more afraid of failure.
In fact, on the other hand, Liu Yuan has developed a dependence on Zhang Sheng's script.
If you don't shoot Zhang Sheng's script, you will lack confidence.
In the end, Liu Yuan still decided to shoot.
In his words, he can afford to fail, and the company can afford to fail.
If other directors fail, it will be difficult to turn over.
Liu Yuan obviously won't.
The film failed, and the company certainly wouldn't give up on him.
His new film, the company will definitely support.
Even if the company doesn't support it, he has enough confidence to pull in the investment himself.
Of course, the main thing is that he wants to shoot.
People can't always be in their comfort zone.
If you don't have the courage to leave your comfort zone, then you can't talk about progress.
Liu Yuan's new film, the company still attaches great importance to it.
He is the head director of Changsheng Entertainment, if he fails after leaving Zhang Sheng, then it is not a good thing for him or Changsheng Entertainment.
Liu Yuan's movies are very good at the box office.
But the screenwriter of every movie is Zhang Sheng.
Although it is not as dominated by Zhang Sheng as Yang Qi, it is still somewhat questioned.
And Liu Yuan naturally also has the idea of getting rid of Zhang Sheng's shadow.
After all, he is now one of the hottest directors in China.
The more famous you are, the more you want to prove yourself.
Zhang Sheng goes abroad and his focus will shift to Hollywood, so do you still have the time and energy to take care of domestic companies?
Apparently impossible.
Therefore, Changsheng Entertainment already has some meaning of "de-Zhangsheng".
The company is too dependent on him, which has become a constraint for the company's development.
And when Zhang Sheng set up the screenwriting department, he did not have this consideration.
Not long after "Truman's World" was drawn, "Resident Evil 3" began to be promoted.
It's just that the publicity was not very strong at the beginning.
And the actors and other main creators have not yet begun to participate in the publicity.
Gu Sisi and others are still filming in the crew.
"What did Director Wu say about the fourth script?" Zhang Sheng looked at Lu Wenhua and asked.
Zhang Sheng, the finished film of "Resident Evil 3", has seen it.
He was still very satisfied.
It's very different from the third part of the original version.
Or rather, it is already very different from the original.
As a fan, Zhang Sheng prefers this version.
This script is not from Zhang Sheng, but is led by the screenwriting department.
However, Zhang Sheng also participated in the screenwriting.
In fact, the general plot is also provided by Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng is actually not very satisfied with the original follow-up movie of "Resident Evil".
So, I didn't copy the original, just made a simple reference.
"Haven't contacted yet." Lu Wenhua said, "Don't wait for the film to be released and see the reaction, right?" ”
The director is sure that it is Wu Xian, so it is logical to invite him to participate in the creation of the script.
"It shouldn't be bad." Zhang Sheng said, "It's okay to wait, that's like the previous part, let the screenwriting department discuss it first." ”
Lu Wenhua nodded.
"Contact now, Director Wu probably won't give the letter." Lu Wenhua said, "If this movie does not meet expectations, if he takes on the fourth part, I am afraid that the pressure will not be small." Oh, by the way, what about the "Terminator" series, or invite Director Xu to direct? ”
"The movie "Terminator 2", you should have also seen it, it is obviously not bad." Zhang Sheng said, "However, you can let it go now." After all, that movie won't be released until next year. ”
The finished film of "Terminator 2", Zhang Sheng has also seen it.
It's an upgrade from the first part.
The special effects, scenes, etc. are not bad.
is similar to "Resident Evil 3", what the reputation is, Zhang Sheng is not sure, but it should not be bad.
However, the box office will not be bad.
And these two series will definitely continue to be filmed.
Especially the Resident Evil series.
Time flies, and Zhang Sheng is busy with the late stages of "Transformers".
The end of the film is nearing its end.
"Is the date set?"
Jiang Bin asked Zhang Sheng and said.
is busy, and occasionally gets together with Jiang Bin and others.
However, this time it was Jiang Bin who made an appointment.
"What date?" Zhang Sheng asked suspiciously.
"The wedding date?" Jiang Bin said, "How long is the preparation for the newlywed honeymoon? ”
"You're not going to beat me again, are you?" Zhang Sheng looked at Jiang Bin and said, "I'll say okay first, I'm really out of schedule." ”
"Didn't that guy in your family want to star in my new film?" Jiang Bin said, "I'll see if the schedule is possible." ”
"I got married in early April, and I am expected to take a break until the beginning of June." Zhang Sheng said, "When will the movie start?" ”
"That should be just right." Jiang Bin looked at Zhang Sheng and said, "Your role in "Starry Night", this movie also appeared, there are not many scenes, it should be no problem for a week, right?" ”
"You're really beating my mind!" Zhang Sheng said, "It's a week, right? No problem. Don't lie to me, though. ”
"No, don't worry." Jiang Bin said with a smile.
"How can you rest assured?" Zhang Sheng said, "You have a criminal record. ”
"You're not like them." Jiang Bin smiled awkwardly and said. "I can't handle it!" ”
He really tricked a big name into the crew like this before.
said it was a week, but it took more than two months to shoot.
However, those big names are obviously different from Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng is not a simple actor.
In addition, Zhang Sheng's character, he can't control it.
"Are you really going to make a sequel to Starry Night?" Zhang Sheng asked, "Don't you like to make sequels?" ”
"You think I'm as tasteless as you?" Jiang Bin said, "The pit has been dug, why should it be filled." ”
"Who said I dug a hole and didn't fill it, but I just haven't had time to fill it yet." Zhang Sheng said with some quibbles.
In "Starry Night", the character played by Gu Sisi is dead.
Can she still appear as the heroine of the sequel?
It's actually not that hard to do.
Why did Jiang Bin choose Gu Sisi as the heroine?
There may not be a reason for Zhang Sheng.
It may not be related to Gu Sisi's own popularity and box office appeal.
I'm afraid that the heroine of the sequel is somewhat related to the role played by Gu Sisi in the last part.
"How many years has it been since "Wolf Warrior 2" was released?" Jiang Bin pouted and said.
What haven't you had time to fill in?
Of course, although Jiang Bin said so, he still admired Zhang Sheng in this regard.
If you change to other film and television companies, I'm afraid it will be "Wolf Warrior N".
Rather lack than excess.
This is the attitude that a filmmaker should have.
"I'm not the director of this film." Zhang Sheng said lightly.
"Is it still Director Wu's pot?" Jiang Bin pouted and said, "Do you think everyone is a fool?" ”
Zhang Sheng smiled awkwardly.
At the end of December, Christmas and New Year's Day arrived, perhaps because the Spring Festival was too short and there were no blockbusters.
At this time, the publicity of "Resident Evil 3" has been very strong.
As soon as Gu Sisi came back from the crew, he immediately ran for publicity.
Although the director of this movie has changed, Zhang Sheng only participated in the screenwriting.
But the cast is as strong as ever.
In addition to the male and female protagonists Wu Jie and Gu Sisi, Xie Jing'an, who plays the villain, definitely does not pull his crotch at all.
Although he rarely appears in movies, his box office appeal is not very good.
But he is well-known among the people.
In addition, although the director is not Zhang Sheng, Wu Xian is not an unknown person.
This changes the director, and maybe it can bring freshness to the movie.
Therefore, this movie is still favored by the market.
The hottest film of the Spring Festival this year is this "Resident Evil 3".
The film schedule won 26%, ranking first in the Spring Festival file.
It's just two percent more than the blockbuster film that came in second.
"I'm still very confident in the box office of "Resident Evil 3"."
"There is still a great possibility that this movie will surpass the box office of the second part."
"Director Wu undoubtedly gave 'biochemical fans' a surprise."
"In addition, the game adapted from this series of movies will also be available to everyone soon, and I believe it will also give you a great surprise."
Zhang Sheng also occasionally participated in the promotion of the film.
It's just that the focus of his promotion is not movies, but games.
Games, that's also a kind of merchandise.
Changsheng Entertainment is gradually on the right track in film and television peripherals.
The reason why Zhang Sheng asked Lu Wenhua to invite Wu Xian to participate in the discussion of the fourth script is largely because the related game is about to be launched.
Games are able to promote movies.
Movies can also promote games.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, Zhang Sheng still has a lot of confidence in "Resident Evil 3" directed by Wu Xian.
The movie hasn't been released yet, but the game is the first to go online.
And then
"The game seems to be very popular!" Gu Sisi smiled and said to Zhang Sheng, "Have you played?" ”
"I'm not interested in games." Zhang Sheng shook his head and said, "What, are you playing?" ”
"Where do I have that time?" Gu Sisi shook his head and said, "I've been busy with publicity recently, and now I've only been a little idle for half a day." ”
The popularity of the game is naturally of great benefit to Gu Sisi.
After all, she is the absolute protagonist of the films in this series.
In the game, there is a prototype character in which she plays the role.
The game characters are also designed with reference to the characters in the movie.
With the popularity of the game and the increase in the influence of the movie, the popularity, popularity, and influence of her starring role will also increase.
Of course, the same is obviously true for the other actors who starred in this film.
"Then I'll play when I'm free." Zhang Sheng said, "This game seems to be quite popular abroad. ”
"Do games make money, or do movies make more money?" Gu Sisi asked curiously.
Does the game make money?
There is no doubt about it.
However, Gu Sisi doesn't know much about these.
She, like Zhang Sheng, doesn't like to play games.
But among her girlfriends, there are a lot of people who play games, and there are masters among them.
For example, Liu Yun likes to play games.
She learned that this game was popular, not because she was aware of it when she was promoting the movie, but because she heard Liu Yun mention it.
