Chapter 316 Audition (5/5)
After the filming process entered the track, the progress was very fast. The actual scene content was completed in half a month. Now, special effects shots that require green cloth are needed.
Scarlett and Xu Yan are both experienced masters, so there is no need to deliberately talk about opera when shooting.
It was April that "Chunli" was released, and Xu Yan needed publicity, which delayed more than a week.
"Chunli" is a B-level film with an investment of US$35 million. On the first day, 1,800 theaters opened paintings.
Zhang Junsheng invited the entire "Super Body" crew to watch the movie.
To be honest, the production of "The Legend of Chun Li" is not very good. Twentieth Century Fox probably wanted to attract Japanese and Chinese box offices, and used a large number of Asian actors. The fight was also hired by Hong Kong's martial arts commanders. The fight was quite sharp, but there were too few. There were too many 90-minute movies and too many literary dramas, which seemed very burdensome...
The paintings opened on Friday, with a box office of $3.8 million on the first day and a $11.8 million on the first weekend...
The total box office is expected to be around 40 million US dollars, with local box office results in North America plus copyright operation enough to recover costs, plus Shanghai's overseas results...
It is enough to support the next Fox in the Twenty Worlds.
This is true. Twentieth Century Fox has launched a sequel plan with an investment of $60 million...
Xu Yan has completely gained a foothold in Hollywood...
...
Wan Ziren walked into Zhang Junsheng's room and happened to meet Scarlett and the director discussing the end of his life, leaving with a rosy face...
He looked at Zhang Junsheng with a little enviousness: "You are so awesome... Scarlett is the dream lover of the whole United States! Durant also wants to drink her bath water!"
"…They just treat me as a friction tool to keep warm!" Zhang Junsheng was very 'self-knowing': "Why are you here?"
"I heard that "Super Body" was very smooth?"
"...It's okay. This kind of movie mainly looks at the later stage. It's not difficult to shoot real scenes!"
He poured a cup of tea and handed it to him. The latter sat down and sniffed: "...Let's change the place?"
"…OK!"
The whole room was filled with the smell of just finishing things...
He called the waiter to clean it up, and Zhang Junsheng and Wen Ziren went to the hotel tea room together.
"Junsheng, did you go to watch "Chunli"? Are you also a fan of "Street Fighter"?"
“…How do you know?”
“A bunch of newspapers have reported it!”
"…They are sick? I will also report it when I watch a movie?"
"Who made you the third richest man in the world now!"
Zhang Junsheng was stunned for a moment: "The third richest man?"
“Fortune magazine released your wealth, including the unlisted Uber, the peak, and they say it’s close to $50 billion!”
Zhang Junsheng was speechless: "...Breaking the truth, I don't have that much money!"
Why don't you say $500 billion...
"They dug out all your assets, including your shares in Taobao, Uber, and Juzhong Media..."
“…Neurosis…What is the estimation of the peak?”
Wen Ziren said: "There is no TV network on the peak, and the valuation is not too high, only $12 billion!"
"12 billion? That's also very good, higher than MGM and Paramount."
"For your blessing, Harris and I have become billionaires!"
Wen Ziren holds a peak of 8% of the shares, while Harris Melledandry holds 18% of the shares…
The core assets of the pinnacle are of course the film production department plus lighting entertainment…
Zhang Junsheng raised his cup and used tea instead of wine: "…Congratulations!"
"I won 1,900 theaters in the Tangshan Earthquake..."
"Thanks!"
"The Great Tangshan Earthquake" is a pure domestic film after all, and it is already very good to have 1,900 theaters to open paintings.
There were only 1,500 "Heroes" in those days...
It seems that Wen Ziren has done a lot of effort!
Wan Ziren waved her hand: "...Main AMC theaters give face..."
“AMC Cinemas? Wanda?”
"right!"
Damn, is Da Lao Wang taking the initiative to show his goodwill?
It's impossible. In China, Wanda and Yuehua are fighting each other...
That...is the hint above?
That should be true!
Wen Ziren did not notice Zhang Junsheng's expression and then reported: "Kill Bill" will be released in mid-May, in China..."
"…That's a little violent, but I'll fight for it!"
To be honest, the scale of "Kill Bill" is a bit too much, bloody and violent, but, when China Film and Yuehua participate in the investment, you can only delete a few shots...
40 million US dollars, China Film invested 5 million...
If it cannot be released in the country, China Film will also suffer losses, right?
Zhang Junsheng suddenly thought of something: "By the way, who is the director?"
""Chunli"?"
"right!"
“…Andze Batkovika, who has filmed “The Devil’s Spokesperson” before”
"I'm really convinced, it's so wasteful of subject matter. Of course, such movies should be mainly about fighting. Who can I watch so many literary dramas?"
Street Fighter, such a good subject, must have been hit from beginning to end, and the director has tortured it into a warm drama...
Wen Ziren complained: "Haha, "Scimitar" has been hit from beginning to end, but it cannot be released in the mainland!"
“… “Scimitar”…it’s a pity…”
"Scimitar" is an action series created at the peak of last year. It invested $25 million and won $80 million in North America, with a global box office of over 200 million. If it can be released in China, the box office can increase at least $20 million...
Unfortunately, the scale of "Scimitar" is too big...
Not only is it bloody but also very erotic. Although there is no positive description, it can easily make people think a lot...
"The Legend of Chunli" is PG-13...
The mainland has been painting for three days and the box office has been 120 million. Xu Yan’s appeal is so strong!
Zhang Junsheng didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only warn him: "So, scale is very important!"
“…No matter how small the scale is, my movie will never be released in China!”
All of Wan Ziren's movies are R-level...
They are making horror movies!
"Uh...not necessarily, you can take photos of other subjects!"
“…What subject matter is taken?”
Zhang Junsheng thought carefully: "Actually, you can shoot a 'agent' type, Mark Miller's "Ace Agent" and "Wanted Order" are both good!"
Wan Ziren hesitated a little: “…action movie? Can I?”
"Let's try it out if you shoot a movie. We don't lack money anyway, so it's better to find a few experienced assistant directors..."
Wen Ziren was not a person who dared not try it, so he nodded immediately: "...OK, I will find someone to take the adaptation right away, and then start the adaptation... By the way, "The Conjuring" audition tomorrow, do you want to come and help me check it?"
"…What do I keep in your movie..."
"It's not the first part of the 'Soul Conjuring Universe' you mentioned, you must choose the actors..."
I thought about it carefully: "Okay, wait until I finish tomorrow's shooting, and fly to Los Angeles immediately..."
"No need to go to Los Angeles, we'll cast in New York!"
“…New York casting? Why?”
Wan Ziren looked calm: "...It's cheap, New York actors are twice as cheap as those in Los Angeles!"
Chapter completed!
