Chapter 2 "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" (4/4)
As we all know, in addition to their own qualifications, we also need good resources to join the entertainment industry!
The so-called "small fire" depends on the support of the big fire. Of course, if you want to become like Big Mi Mi, it depends on your fate!
Hong Huang once said, "In China, in any era, famous families are different from ordinary people. Because we do not accept the so-called universal values and we do not believe in equality, so famous families are all. When I was born, the chances and social relations, the probability of success was many times higher than that of ordinary people."
This sounds unpleasant, but it is the truth.
For example, Sun Bijuan starred in his first TV series "The Sea is Broad and Sky is High" at the age of seven. The production specifications of this drama are very high, and were jointly produced by CCTV Film and Television Department, Tianjin Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department, Tianjin Municipal Party Committee Development Zone Bonded Zone Working Committee, and Tianjin Television Station.
Dong Ziqiang, the director who directed the drama at that time, is now a first-class director of the TV Series Production Center of Tianjin TV Station.
Maybe Sun Bijuan was so cute. Not long after, Director Dong asked her to play a small role in her famous work "Secret Order 1949" - the drama was also funded by Tianjin TV.
Then, Sun Bijuan went to Beijing to study.
The person who plays the role of "Director Dong" is producer Lee.
Producer Li, real name Li Gongda, is a gold medal producer of CCTV, a national first-class screenwriter, and currently the deputy director of the Literature Department of CCTV China TV Drama Production Center.
He and Wang Shuo were children of the big courtyard in the same period and were also the first writers to shoot TV series. The first draft of the script "Beijing People in New York" that was famous back then was written by him.
Production Li is behind all the film and television works that Sun Bijuan took in Yanjing.
The first work is the charity movie "You Are an Angel", where she plays the heroine Xiaohua.
The investor of this drama is a newly established company called Duomai Film and Television. The boss is Wang Jianfeng, director of the Northern Executive Information Center of the Ministry of Commerce of the State, and has a deep personal relationship with producer Li.
The director Zheng Xiao, who just graduated from college at the time, directed this film.
So far, Zheng Xiao has directed three works, namely the movie "You Are an Angel", "Los Angeles Trouble Plan" and the online drama "Talk and Damn", which have an intersection: the heroines are all Sun Bijuan.
By the way, Sun Bijuan later changed his name to Song Zuer!
The second work is "Paullen Lantern Prequel", which she collaborated with producer Lee.
"The Lotus Lantern" is a proud work by Producer Lee, and it once achieved a singular record of 9.1% at a peak viewership.
"Prefactor" is its sequel, and almost all the main creators are the original cast. It's just that "Nezha" was replaced by Sun Bijuan, which was selected by Producer Li.
Then, Sun Bijuan starred in two more TV series, and then disappeared from the entertainment industry. She said that she should study hard first.
It is said, "Which girl doesn't want to live like Ouyang Nana?" I think she should change it. Look at our sister Juan. If you want to enter the movie circle, you can enter the movie circle!
In 2016, Sun Bijuan made a comeback and became the heroine of "Los Angeles Trouble Project" directed by Zheng Xiao, partnering with former actor Xia Yu...
Well, let me mention Xia Yu. In those years, our actresses were the "background wall" of the young actresses, and the young actresses in the Beijing circle were looking for him to accompany him.
"Los Angeles Trick Plan" knows that it has not supported the box office big names, but there are still 10 investors who are happy to pay, including big players like China Film Group and Fosun companies.
Before it was over, the little star who had been renamed Song Zuer, who had finally crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and landed on China's land. The people who "collected the plane" are not simple. Xitian Film and Television's boss Zhou Yanxi controls one of the most powerful artist groups in China.
As soon as Xitian entered, Zhou Yanxi first arranged for her to attend the Weibo night with the "No. 1" Wu Xiubo, and then transferred the two propaganda personnel who were originally responsible for the "Crown Princess" Zhang Tianai to arrange for her...
Afterwards, various resources also followed one after another, popular variety shows "Flowers and Boys", "Running Man", popular TV series "Our Boys", "Talks and Damage", "Night Emperor", "The Legend of the Nine States"...
Compared with the "Beijing Circle Princess", our Zuer is the real princess!
Someone feeds cakes and grows up very quickly!
I'm trampling on the horse, and it's been half a chapter...
...
"She is the next target of our company. Now there are four young actresses. Only Xu Yan is selected in our company. Everyone is very dissatisfied!"
The selection of the "Four Little Flowers" was created by "Southern Weekend".
They choose a round every few years, probably to prove their presence!
Of course, the influence and actual economic benefits brought by this selection are quite good...
"Many of your fans will talk about your scandal. Do you know this?"
"…They probably care about why I am still single!"
After a smile, Zhang Junsheng answered indifferently: "Actually, I didn't consider this issue. Many scandals are groundless."
"I am a director and a producer. I often choose actors. I don't choose actors because of my appearance, but rather have to meet the roles. In the entertainment industry, there are too many beautiful actresses and they are single, so many times, rumors will appear!"
"Actually, I really don't think they are so beautiful. I admire intellectual and connotative girls more!"
I couldn't help but pretended...
In fact, Zeng Li, Li Yuanyuan or Xu Yan look very good in intellectual uniforms...
After almost the conversation, Fang Yiming was about to ask a little in-depth question: "We often say that the fifth generation has the blood of the Yellow River flowing in its bones, but the sixth generation is a generation in the cracks. What type do you think your movie belongs to?"
"It's what the audience likes, it's more entertaining!"
"Then what do you think is the most fundamental factor in the box office success of the two movies "Ghost Story" and "Crazy Stone"?"
"There is a wonderful story. As a commercial movie, the story is crucial. Another point is that the movie must be down-to-earth. In fact, these two things are the most important things in commercial movies!"
"Down to earth?"
"Down-to-earth means having a sense of reality, intimacy, and lifelike details that can resonate with the audience." After a pause, Zhang Junsheng continued: "Actually, when "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released, I didn't dare to watch the box office. It was the box office result my assistant told me. My biggest feeling is that Chinese audiences love to watch movies and are willing to go to the cinema to watch movies!"
"Since then, I have become more determined to make my choice. Movies should be entertaining, interesting, and talk about art on the basis of entertainment. I believe that as long as the directors shoot interesting stories and wonderful stories, more and more audiences will enter the movies, and Chinese movies will become more and more prosperous!"
Fang Yiming nodded, wrote down the last sentence on the book, and then looked up: "For the last question, I heard that "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" is about to be released. I wonder if you have any expectations for the box office?"
"Uh... Then set a small goal." Zhang Junsheng pondered, then raised his head and raised four fingers, "Four hundred million!"
“…Four hundred million?”
Fang Yiming was stunned for a moment, his small goal was 400 million?
Damn, are you going to explode?
"I'm not bragging. "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" has been released in North America for three days, with a box office of 58 million US dollars in the first weekend, which is more than the first one. The North American market is so powerful, our Chinese market cannot be lagging behind!"
...
Global has not had many movies this year, but the box office of "The Scorpion King 2" that has invested a lot of energy and "The Flames: The Golden Legion" has suffered a crushing box office defeat. It is impossible for people to give up the summer season, so I simply threw the already-made "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" into the market...
I didn’t expect to snipe at the already terrifying "Batman: The Dark Knight", just bite a piece of meat!
After all, "The Dark Knight" has brought the summer season, and Universal also wants to get a share of the pie...
It's OK. The box office result of the three-day first weekend has reached the production level, and the box office profit can be predicted.
Unlike the overwhelming publicity in the past, the promotion of "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" is very low-key, and only Xu Yan and Zhou Xing were arranged to appear on several variety shows.
However, the big sale of "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" has become a foregone conclusion. Yu Dong didn't know what he was thinking, so he actually offered a buyout price of 120 million to release "A Chinese Ghost Story 2"...
Only when my mind is in the water will I hand over this series to other companies for distribution, and the 120 million yuan is not meeting Yuehua's expectations at all...
The 400 million Zhang Junsheng said is really no joke.
Of course, the box office will definitely be affected by the impact of the Olympics, but as long as the piracy is controlled, I believe that breaking the record of "Titanic" will not be a problem!
After finishing the exclusive interview with "Southern Weekend", Zhang Junsheng led a negotiating team to France. It is imperative to acquire a European distribution company...
