Don't talk about feelings with capital.

Nolan's two "Batman" films for Warner swept away DC's decline and made Warner make a lot of money.

Nolan also gained Warner's friendship because of this, but when Nolan showed Warner the idea of "Inception", Warner did not agree to make the film.

Because Warner has a relatively serious path dependence: "The Dismay", "The Hobbit", "Harry Potter" and "Batman" are big hits, so Warner is not very willing to do original big productions.

It's enough to make an adaptation, plus selling discs, so why take the risk of being original?

That's why Emma is looking for investors all over the world.

Now that "Inception" is a global hit, Warner said that "at the beginning of the idea, Warner invested heavily in supporting Nolan to realize his dream, and preemptively obtained the rights to produce and distribute the film with other companies." ”

A Bole look.

But in fact, Warner's top management has not been satisfactory recently, and it is a fact that "Inception" is a global hit, but it was actually made money by a Chinese!

He would stupidly promise Zhang Yuanjun 24 million US dollars to buy out the box office of China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

At present, the box office of these six countries has exceeded 150 million US dollars, and Zhang Yuanjun has made a profit of at least 40 million US dollars!

Warner's bowels are all repentant.

But fortunately, Warner's most profitable disc revenue is not distributed to anyone, how much money can be made from selling box office? also has to share accounts with the distribution and theaters, and sell discs Warner to make a profit.

On the other hand, Han Sanping and Fu Ruoqing released their suspicions, and both of them tacitly agreed not to mention the previous disagreements arising from the buyout of "Inception", and they couldn't be happy.

The current results prove that the joint venture between China Film and Zhang Yuanjun to establish Maoyan Pictures and buy out "Inception" in its name is the most successful investment of China Film this year!

Although the bulk of the income is in the hands of Zhang Yuanjun, China Film has also obtained huge benefits that exceed expectations.

Fu Ruoqing also invited Zhang Yuanjun to a meal separately to show his gratitude and attention.

Warner regrets making less money, China Film is very happy about its successful investment, and some people are very unhappy.

Zhang Weiping of the heart picture.

"Tangshan Earthquake" and "Inception" were both postponed, "The Expendables" and "The Magician's Apprentice" caught up, followed by the National Day file, "Jingwu Fengyun Chen Zhen", "Sword Rain" and "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire" are eyeing up.

"The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", a literary film, trembled in the middle.

Zhang Weiping really wants to scold people now, he put "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" in mid-September, which was a rational choice, and literary films are asking for a dead end in the summer file, even if the director is Zhang Yimou.

He knows, he knows everything.

But I didn't expect the competition to be so big in September, who said that September was the off-season, and he was the first to refuse.

But the bull that should be bragged about still has to be bragged.

"With an investment of 70 million, a box office of 200 million can pay off."

"I'm a person who either doesn't do it, or if we want to do it, we will make a bigger one, different from others."

"Literary films are not necessarily small productions, and literary films are not necessarily made with two jujubes."

In the face of the reporter's statement that the literary film schedule suffered, he stubbornly said: "I dare to invest 70 million, I still care about this." ”

At the end of the interview, talking about "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", the reporter asked him which Hollywood first-line name the actor would use.

Zhang Weiping said: "Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt have both read the script and are very interested in the characters, and they have long been interested in working with Chinese national treasure director Zhang Yimou. ”

The reporter asked if he would use domestic first-line stars: "For example, Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei." ”

He smiled mysteriously: "The first thing we consider is the suitability of the actors and crew and Yimou, and we will not deliberately pursue big names and appeal, no matter how big a name is, it can't be as big as Yimou's director."

"Of course, the two actors you mentioned have always been closely followed by me, and they are indeed very popular." At the end, there was a tail.

When these words came into the hands of reporters, they became "Zhang Weiping is optimistic about Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei, and "Thirteen Hairpins" plans to invite the two to star. ”

After this summer vacation, no one watched domestic movies without Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei, right?

But the reporter couldn't find the two for verification, and the two almost disappeared from public view after returning to the capital after the "Inception" promotion.

Occasionally, the two can be photographed going in and out of theaters, restaurants, gyms and other places, but they have never been given the opportunity to be interviewed.

When I called the two agents, I got the same answer: "We currently have no work related to "Thirteen Hairpins". ”

The reporter asked more: "What are Yuanjun and Yifei busy with recently?" ”

"It's inconvenient for us to disclose the work itinerary, I'm sorry."

But in fact, since the two ended the promotion of "Inception", they have turned off all their jobs and concentrated on being idlers.

Zhang Yuanjun is waiting for "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" to start next month, and Liu Yifei is also waiting for "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" to start next month, Zhang Yuanjun still doesn't know that Liu Yifei will play Ling Yanqiu.

In fact, it's not right to say that they are idlers, the two have been idle for two days, they have enough rest, they still have to go back to work, Zhang Yuanjun still has a movie script to do, and Liu Yifei also has to stare at the later stage of "Time and Space Traveler".

After completing the outline of the script, Damien Chazelle and David Seidler both returned to the United States, and the three people who filled the script communicated via email.

David is 73 years old, and it will be a problem for something to happen in China.

The three screenwriters have achieved a high degree of agreement on the name of the film, which is called "Her".

The heroine, the name of the voice assistant, is based on Liu Yifei, called Sissi.

After Liu Yifei got the outline, she was so happy that she kissed her boyfriend fiercely on the spot.

But Zhang Yuanjun raised another concern: "I'm afraid that it's the same as "Time and Space Love Traveler", acting and acting seriously, you used the character name in "Time and Space Love Traveler", now it's okay, use your real name to act, when I call you Xiqian, are you calling you a real person, or are I calling your character?" ”

"Aren't you an actor, you don't have any control at all?"

"Or I'll change the character's name."

"You dare!" Liu Yifei's eyes were about to stand up, "It's called this, it's not allowed to change." ”

She knew he was teasing her, but she was willing to cooperate with him.

"When will you finish this script?"

"If I can finish this year, I will be Amitabha."

"Hey, what if Zhang Weiping really asks you to play "Thirteen Hairpins"?" Liu Yifei's strange fun exploded.

"I don't have time. I have to shoot "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" for 3 months, how can I have time to shoot "Thirteen Hairpins". ”

"That's Zhang Yimou."

"Have you heard of Mou Girl, have you ever heard of Mou Male Star?" Zhang Yuanjun asked her rhetorically, "Do you know that the heroine of "The Red Lantern Hangs High" is Gong Li, do you know who the male protagonist is?" Who is the actor in "Ju Dou"? ”

Liu Yifei really couldn't say it for a while: "It's also ha." ”

Zhang Yuanjun asked her rhetorically: "What if Zhang Yimou really asked you to play "Thirteen Hairpins"? ”

"Go, why don't you go." Liu Yifei didn't say a word.

Zhang Yimou has a fatal attraction to domestic actresses.

Zhang Yuanjun smiled: "Then come on, strive to play Director Zhang's play." After saying that, he walked away and got busy.

"Hey, what do you mean by laughing? Can't I act in Director Zhang's play? You speak clearly......" Liu Yifei chattered and followed Zhang Yuanjun's ass into the study. (End of chapter)
