"I heard that Director Zhang's new film is short of a veteran female star?" Xu Rui looked at Zhang Sheng and asked.

He came to Changsheng Entertainment this time to participate in the discussion of the script of "Terminator 3".

For the script of "Terminator 3", Zhang Sheng only gave an idea and a general plot, but did not give a specific script.

He believes that the company's screenwriting team can create a better script than the original.

And Xu Rui will continue to direct this series.

In the second part, he handed in an answer sheet that satisfied fans.

And he also made a lot of money because of this movie.

Although there is a lot of pressure, who will not be happy with money?

Therefore, Xu Rui accepted the third part and did not hesitate.

And what about Resident Evil 4?

Wu Xian did not hesitate, and is now discussing with the screenwriting department.

"Does Director Xu have a recommendation?" Zhang Sheng smiled and said.

Xu Rui has made a lot of action movies and martial arts movies, so he naturally knows many female stars.

And among those people, there are naturally those who meet the age.

Recommend actors, which is very common in the circle.

This is one of the manifestations of networking in the circle.

"Is Zheng Shuying impressed?" Xu Rui asked tentatively.

Jung Sook-young?

Zhang Shengleng paused, and then remembered such a person.

was a smash hit female star back then, and when Yang Ziyu first debuted, she was also called "Zheng Shuying's second" by the media.

However, this stubble is apparently not mentioned in the media anymore.

Yang Ziyu's achievements are obviously much better than Zheng Shuying's now.

But if Zheng Shuying didn't stop back then, Yang Ziyu might not be able to rise so quickly, and whether he could have today's achievements, even if it is two words.

"Hasn't she been out of the shadows for years?" Zhang Sheng asked suspiciously.

has been in the shadow for many years, and there are still a few successes, but it's hard to say now.

However, if it is a comeback, Zhang Sheng really doesn't mind letting her try it out.

In the end, we have to try the situation before we can decide.

Xu Rui's face has to be given, but everything has to be considered from the movie.

"It's been a comeback for many years." Xu Rui said, "You also know how fast the entertainment industry is changing, she has been out of the film for so many years, how many people still remember her in today's audience?" It's so easy to start all over again. ”

"Let's try it."

Zhang Sheng nodded and said.

Zheng Shuying has a good kung fu foundation and good acting skills.

I just don't know what the image is like now.

After many years of shadowing, starting from scratch, the difficulty is naturally more difficult than when he debuted.

After all, it's no longer young.

Since her comeback for a few years, Zhang Sheng has never known, so you can see something.

"Thank you very much." When Xu Rui heard this, he said with a smile.

He naturally knew that this was giving him face.

As for whether Zheng Shuying can get this role, it depends on her creation.

Zheng Shuying is now in her forties, perhaps because of her martial arts practice, she is physically healthy and energetic.

However, there are already traces of time on his face.

Got married at the peak of his thirties, and made a comeback in his forties, tossing for a few years, but still hovering on the edge.

was the hottest female star back then, but now she is hovering in the 18th parallel, and she is really embarrassed.

The world is unpredictable, and this is also her choice.

Coming back, even if she puts down her body, what good role can she receive?

However, her acting skills made Zhang Sheng's eyes shine.

Maybe it's because of the grinding of life that she has more feelings.

The role of the blue-eyed fox was settled, and the other roles were quickly settled.

"Transformers" is still being released worldwide, but the popularity of the movie is gradually decreasing.

When it comes to the movie, it is still popular.

And what about Zhang Sheng?

took the crew to inspect the filming location.

The scenery in the original film undoubtedly left a deep impression on Zhang Sheng.

Whether it needs to be modified or not, after all, still needs to be seen.

During the preparation of the film, Zhang Sheng's new film naturally spread from inside the circle to outside the circle.

He wants to shoot a martial arts film, and it's a big production.

This came as a shock to many fans.

Unbelievable.

However, it also makes many martial arts fans look forward to it.

Whether Zhang Sheng can give martial arts films a new lease of life, isn't it worth looking forward to?

He was a man who had done so many miracles.

A sci-fi film that Chinese filmmakers dare not touch, but now it is popular all over the world because of him.

The market foundation of martial arts films is much stronger than that of science fiction films.

Zhang Sheng's ability to write and direct is unmatched.

And the "Condor Trilogy" written by him directly made martial arts dramas popular.

It can be seen that he has a deep understanding of martial arts culture.

So what about his martial arts films?

Naturally, it's worth looking forward to.

And Zhang Sheng has never been disappointed by fans.

Fans have a lot of confidence in him.

As the news came out, so did some related information.

For example, Zhang Sheng invited Li Zhenguo to play the male lead.

And he himself will also participate.

In addition, Yang Ziyu and Gu Sisi will also serve as the heroines.

With such a lineup, it should be even more expected.

However, after all, it is still in preparation, and the heat of this matter will soon fade.

In mid-October, "Transformers" was drawn around the world.

The domestic box office exceeded 5 billion, ranking second in the box office list.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is still at the top of the list.

Breaking 5 billion box office?

This has undoubtedly blinded countless people.

Zhang Sheng himself felt incredible.

He remembered that the highest box office of the original movie in the domestic market was much worse, and it seemed that less than half of it was.

This made Zhang Sheng puzzled.

In addition to the larger market, I am afraid it is related to "Hollywood movies" and "Chinese movies".

This is a Chinese-language movie, which is naturally supported by domestic fans.

What's more, director Zhang Sheng should be better in terms of box office appeal.

No matter what the reason is for this box office, for Zhang Sheng, it is a good thing.

He's used to it, too.

Which of those movies that moved over is not much higher than the box office of the original.

And the box office of this movie abroad is definitely not low.

The North American box office is nearly $300 million.

The cumulative box office in other countries and regions is nearly half a billion US dollars.

The global box office exceeded $1.5 billion.

There is no doubt that this film became the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in the world.

And such a box office directly rushed into the top ten of the global box office list.

This is undoubtedly a very impressive achievement.

And what about Zhang Sheng?

The media have reported that the popularity of the movie has risen again, but Zhang Sheng has prepared a new film, but he has not paid much attention to it.

Changsheng Entertainment didn't hold a celebration banquet or anything.

The preparation of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is far less time-consuming than "Transformers", but it is not possible to start filming in a short time.

Costumes, props, action design, etc., all take time.

The action design is naturally based on the original.

Zhang Sheng was very impressed by the action design of the original version.

Of course, he doesn't copy it in stone.

If the action design is done well, the relevant actors will naturally be enrolled in the group in advance.

Before the film started, Li Zhenguo and Yang Ziyu had already returned to China to join the group.

And Gu Sisi was still before them.

After all, she is inferior to Li Zhenguo and Yang Ziyu and others in kung fu.

And her things are probably the most in the whole play.

Training ahead of time is inevitable.

However, Gu Sisi has also made martial arts movies and action movies, so she naturally has a lot of experience.

Of course, this is naturally indispensable to discuss the script together.

Martial arts films are in decline, but whether it is Li Zhenguo, Yang Ziyu and others, they still attach great importance to this movie.

What is the script of this play, with their eyes, they can naturally see a few points.

Especially Li Zhenguo and Yang Ziyu, who have been in Hollywood all the year round, naturally feel that this script is very much in line with the appetite of foreign fans.

Zhang Sheng's martial arts film is probably heading for the international stage.

It doesn't seem so surprising to think about it.

Zhang Sheng's movies have opened up their popularity abroad.

It seems that no one will deny that he is an international director.

Then his new film naturally considers the global market.

Even if it's just a martial arts movie.

As for whether it will succeed, it is unknown.

In mid-November, the film was prepared for more than three months and then started.

The lead time is not long.

This is undoubtedly due to the fact that Zhang Sheng's team is very strong today.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Sheng has a very clear understanding of this movie.

With the original reference, he knew exactly what effect he wanted.

And the people of the team have already formed a tacit understanding under the cooperation of one movie after another, and they can naturally meet his requirements very well.

If you prepare in this way, you will naturally be quick.

With Zhang Sheng's new film alone, the film's launch conference can attract countless media reporters.

What's more, the cast is still so strong.

not only invited international superstars such as Li Zhenguo and Yang Ziyu, but also Gu Sisi and Zhang Sheng will also star.

It's a lot of topicality.

Coupled with the residual heat of "Transformers", the launch conference not only attracted domestic media, but also many foreign media.

"Director Zhang, what are your considerations for choosing to shoot a martial arts film? Why not continue to make sci-fi films? After all, your sci-fi films are selling well all over the world. ”

In the reporter's question session, some reporters couldn't wait to ask many people's doubts.

"If you want to shoot, you can shoot it." Zhang Sheng said, "What's more, in my opinion, martial arts films can fully show Chinese culture more fully than science fiction films." ”

Does he want to make a film that shows Chinese culture?

Maybe it's possible.

He has that ability now.

"Director Zhang, it is rumored that you have invested a lot in this martial arts film." Another reporter asked, "And now that the market situation of martial arts films seems to be bad, how can you ensure the return of your capital and not be afraid of losing money?" ”

"I make movies, and I don't care if I lose money." Zhang Sheng said lightly, "Because I believe that as long as the movie is made well, no matter what type of movie, no matter what type of movie, it will not lose money." I'm still very confident in the box office of my martial arts film. ”

Have faith?

There really is.

He and Gu Sisi didn't get paid, Li Zhenguo was paid plus dividends, and Yang Ziyu got the friendship price.

In terms of salary, it is less than 100 million.

The cost of filming and production of this movie will not be too high.

The filming location is not only free of charge, but also provides many conveniences.

This is undoubtedly another savings.

A budget of 300 million is more than enough.

A billion box office can pay off.

Even if it can't reach this box office at home, there is absolutely no problem abroad.

This is Zhang Sheng's confidence from the original.
