Chapter 108 Layout (3/5)
"I want to show the spirit of our nation through "Tangshan Earthquake". The entire "Tangshan Earthquake" is actually a microcosm of our nation. Our nation has experienced countless hardships from ancient times to the present. What supports us to today?"
"I don't really want to shoot something with a mental outlook. Just leave that thing to an MV director!"
The person in charge of Tangshan nodded: "This coincides with our ideas. We also hope to show the fearless heroic spirit of the Chinese nation in the face of the Tangshan earthquake..."
"Your idea is too main theme," Zhang Junsheng interrupted him: "Of course, I do not deny the main theme. Main theme movies reflect the mainstream national values and mainstream cultural tendencies. A nation must need heroes when it reaches a certain stage of development. What the movie needs to do is to concretize virtual values, so the audience needs to see the stories of Qi Jiguang and Yue Fei!"
"However, this is "The Great Earthquake in Tangshan", not "The Great Rescue". See the big ones from the small and witness the era through the changes of a family. Only by abandoning the old thinking of "concept is greater than image" can the contextual model determine the modernity of the film!"
It went very smoothly, and Zhang Junsheng also made concessions. Tang *shan was responsible for supervision, but at most it was supervision. The specific matters, scripts, and shooting were still decided by Yuehua.
On the 12th, Yuehua’s official Weibo account issued an announcement that Zhang Junsheng will start filming a movie about "The Great Earthquake of Tang*shan", with an estimated investment of 300 million yuan!
Netizens were talking about it.
Most of them are looking forward to it, and a few people are not optimistic about it...
With Zhu Yu in front of "Nanjing! Nanjing!", everyone is not as confident in movies adapted from big historical materials...
...
In addition to "The Great Tangshan Earthquake", there is also a project called "Lost in the Road"...
Compared to "The Great Tangshan Earthquake", movies like "Lost in the Road" are not enough to watch!
Pure comedy...
But "Lost in the Road" led to the birth of the series!
The original version of "Lost in Thailand" has an investment of 8 million and a box office of 40 million!
Then as soon as "Lost in Thailand" was released, the Chinese-language movie opened a billion club...
In fact, in addition to thanking Xu Zheng in "Lost in Thailand", we should also thank Wen Jun!
In 2006, after watching "Crazy Stone", Wen Jun saw some opportunities and continued to use his ability to thread needles.
They found three starring actors in "Stone" to make a film.
"Stubborn Carrot", "Wedding 2008" and "Lost in the Road"!
Three movies are popular, it's OK!
Of course, in addition to the right timing, Xu Zheng was very sensitive to the G-spot of this era!
Director is a profession that particularly requires a sense of the times and life experience.
We often find that some amazing directors will always become mediocre over time. This is itself a lack of accuracy in the sense of the times and the limitations of their life experience.
In fact, film director is a very simple job, so simple that as long as you can shout "Action", it is enough to play this role.
There is a famous saying in Hollywood: "As long as you give me a $200 million investment, I can report my work to an eight-year-old Chinese girl..."
"The long eight-minute shot represents Director Guo's ambition." It really makes me feel like I want to kneel down. Guo Xiaosi is really a good director!
It is recommended that you go and watch "Birdman" with an MV called "I Won’t Let You Down", which will take a long shot to the end!
Yuehua needs the series "Lost in the Road"!
Or Zhang Junsheng needs "Lost in the Road" to prove his commercial explosion ability!
If a director wants to avoid being abandoned by the times, he must calmly experience, explore, and observe the times with a cold eye.
Zhang Junsheng’s biggest golden finger is not a bunch of vague movies in his mind, but his ability to grasp the times!
Movies are often accidental when selling well.
No one can guarantee that their movies will definitely be a big hit, so they say that investing in movies is often a gamble!
But Zhang Junsheng can guarantee it!
Moreover, when filming a drama like "Lost in the Road", no one will say that Zhang Junsheng has the potential to sell well, because "Lost in the Road" has the potential to sell well!
...
Yuehua, office.
Tang Ningyu is holding last week's box office report...
The first place is "Transformers 2", which has been released for 10 days and has lost 300 million...
"Transformers 2's first day is 48 million. Do you think we can compare with them?"
"They invested as much as $200 million in a single film. If you give me $200 million, I can also make a big-selling movie!"
Zhang Junsheng doesn't care...
It's 48 million in a single day, which is considered a big deal. "Monster Hunt 2" was 545 million on the first day, and it was released for two days, almost exceeding 1 billion...
The ceiling of Chinese movies is high!
"When are you going to film "Tangshan Earthquake"?"
"Wait a little longer, and I'll shoot it when the special effects have almost done the preliminary project!"
"What about "No Man's Land"?"
"Appointment at the same time!"
Tang Ningyu thought Zhang Junsheng gave up on "No Man's Land". After all, he watched "Lost in the Road" and felt that the possibility of that movie being popular was more than "No Man's Land"...
"No Man's Land"...
Too heavy, although it is a good movie...
“…Make three movies at once?”
"No, you can set up the project at the same time, and then take a slow photo, don't worry..."
Generally, directors start preparing two or three projects, then select the most mature ones and shoot first...
Tang Ningyu is a very stable professional manager, but he has never made movies. He doesn't know much about movies and many things.
"Dongyang's "1942" is scheduled to be released on July 15th..."
"Where is our "A Chinese Ghost Story 3"?"
“July 29…”
"It's great, stay for two weeks. If the box office of 1942 is not effective, we won't blame us!"
“…Bonner’s “Onei Spy Lingling Dog” is scheduled for July 16…”
Zhang Junsheng was a little speechless: "Yu Dong is really cruel. He has known Ma Xiaokang for more than ten years, right?"
"…When you are doing business, you can't let "Daoui Scepter" compete with "A Chinese Ghost Story 3"..."
"Okay, I get it."
After almost the conversation, Zhang Junsheng got up and left. Tang Ningyu suddenly said, "Liang Mi signed a contract with Meiya Entertainment. Do you know this?"
"…I know, let Zhao Liying take the lead in "Zhu Xian"!"
It is probably difficult for Big Mimi to turn back as she leaves...
In a sense, Omi Mi did take it upon herself, but this matter is not that simple!
Why did she have a smart extinguishing operation?
No one knows whether Weibo Games says "You are not Liu Yifei?"
Even if Zhang Junsheng asked, the people on Weibo would not admit it...
But Zhao Liying was pushed up...
Chapter completed!
