This star is too fierce

Chapter 401 Detonating the domestic animation film market?

"Duan Hongming!"

When Jiang Bin said the name, Zhang Sheng was stunned.

Never heard of it.

Is there such a director in the circle?
Even if there is, it is probably unknown.

Because of the famous director, Zhang Sheng has some impressions.

After all, it is a circle of people.

"He used to hang out in Hollywood." Jiang Bin said, "Now that he's back in China, he made a film called "The Bug's Lair". In the group of several adventure films, the assistant director and executive director have all worked."

"Really?" Zhang Sheng said, "Then I'll let Lao Lu and the others get in touch."

Although there are no outstanding works, such a resume is indeed suitable.

However, in the end, Zhang Sheng did not give Jiang Bin any definite news.

Jiang Bin naturally had no objection to this.

If Zhang Sheng could let Lu Wenhua contact Duan Hongming, it would be a great deal of face.

As for whether to use it or not, I am afraid it depends on the meaning of Changsheng Entertainment Company.

What Zhang Sheng meant was not what Changsheng Entertainment meant.

Even his biggest boss is somewhat different.

"I've seen the movie "Bug Lair." Gu Sisi said, "It's a low-budget movie, but the quality is good."

"Then I have to look for it when I have time." Zhang Sheng nodded.

It is a skill to make a low-budget movie so that both Jiang Bin and Gu Sisi can agree.

This person should be a capable director.

Shooting continues.

Within a few days, Lu Wenhua came to the crew.

"It fits! It fits!"

When Lu Wenhua saw Zhang Sheng, he directly told the answer.

When Zhang Sheng heard this, he was not surprised.

The person recommended by Jiang Bin should not be bad.

It is reasonable for Lu Wenhua to be satisfied with it.

It's just that Zhang Sheng didn't expect that Lu Wenhua seemed to be very satisfied with it.

Zhang Sheng became somewhat interested in its arrival.

Talent is rare.

There are not many domestic directors with Hollywood experience.

Zhang Sheng didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it.

Hollywood leads the world.

There are many places worth learning from the domestic film and television industry.

Zhang Sheng is looking forward to the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Tomb Raiders Notes" series of movies.

He also wants to put it on the big screen as soon as possible.

"He hasn't signed any company yet." Lu Wenhua said, "Old Zhou talked to him and wanted to sign him into the company."

"Refused?" Zhang Sheng asked.

It would be best if he could sign into the company.

Lu Wenhua mentioned this matter probably because the other party refused.

If you don't refuse, there is no need to say it.

That said, it's about the movie.

So is it allowed to continue directing "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"?
Zhou Zhao wanted to take advantage of Duan Hongming and take the opportunity to sign him to Changsheng Entertainment.

It's a pity that it didn't work out.

This undoubtedly caused a change in the cooperation with each other.

"En!" Lu Wenhua nodded and said, "Duan Hongming seems to want to set up his own studio, and has no idea of ​​signing with that company."

"Old Zhou objected to asking him to cooperate?" Zhang Sheng asked, "It's good to join the company, but you can also cooperate without joining the company! It's not that Changsheng Entertainment has never cooperated with directors outside the company."

"He didn't object at all, just suggested to wait." Lu Wenhua said, "Next year, "Terminator 2" and "Resident Evil 3" will start shooting, and you and Lao Liu may also have a movie to start shooting. "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is not in a hurry. Moreover, the influence of related online dramas has not yet reached its peak.”

Zhou Zhao didn't give up!

Want to cool each other down.

Series such as "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" should be very attractive to Duan Hongming.

And now Duan Hongming just needs a good movie to prove himself.

"What's your opinion?" Zhang Sheng asked.

"You can let it go." Lu Wenhua said, "Actually, he is not the only one in China who is suitable."

"Then wait." Zhang Sheng nodded and said.

The company's booth is already huge.

In addition to movies, music, variety shows, and TV dramas all take up a lot of manpower and material resources of the company.

If you shoot too many videos, you will inevitably be overwhelmed.

This is not the same as just investing in films.

Of course, Zhang Sheng supported it. In fact, together with Zhou Zhao and the others, they had the idea of ​​signing Duan Hongming into the company.

At that time, Hong Ming had just returned to China, and a small-budget movie was successful again. Although he hadn't become famous yet, he was proud and arrogant, and he hadn't been beaten by society.

Is there a director who set up a studio?

Have.

For example, Xu Rui and others have their own film studios.

But which one of Xu Rui and others is not a first-line or even top-level director in China?

Of course, it doesn't mean that a lesser-known film studio cannot be established.

The question is how much investment can you pull?
Just like this time, you are not well-known, and you are not a signed director of the company, why should Changsheng Entertainment give you a blockbuster movie?

Naturally, Lu Wenhua's visit to the film crew was not just about talking about Duan Hongming with Zhang Sheng.

He is also the general producer of the film.

""My Sassy Girl" is finished." Lu Wenhua said, "The company discussed it. The Christmas and New Year's release of this movie is better than the Spring Festival release."

"Then it will be released on Christmas and New Year's Day!" Zhang Sheng said, "As I said before, that animated film is more suitable for release during the Spring Festival."

Lu Wenhua smiled.

You, Zhang Sheng, are probably the only one who has confidence in that animated movie.

Lu Wenhua was not very optimistic about the animated film either.

No way, the highest box office of domestic animation is only a little over [-] million.

The box office also benefited from the adaptation of a major domestic IP, which has a huge audience.

As for the company's animated film, although the adaptation is based on myths and legends, it is indeed a brand new story.

Especially the character image gives people the feeling that there is only one word: ugly!

Animated movies often have Spring Festival files, but almost all of them have been reduced to cannon fodder.

Lu Wenhua didn't have confidence in that movie, because he thought Zhang Sheng's script was not good.

It is because domestic fans have no confidence in domestic animated films.

In addition, the domestic box office of Hollywood animated films is actually not ideal.

Although it is much higher than the box office of domestic animated films.

But compared with foreign movies, it is much worse.

"Let's wait and see!" Zhang Sheng said, "I believe the domestic animation film market is huge."

Lu Wenhua smiled and did not refute.

Zhang Sheng's vision in the film market is indeed speechless.

Everyone was not optimistic, but everyone was slapped in the face.

Filming continues.

After filming the scenes in the studio, I started filming the scenes in the house.

The exterior was shot last.

There's a lot of action in this movie.

The action design refers to the original version, with a lot of upgrades.

Jiang Bin is the oldest, but he maintains good physical fitness.

His movements are not difficult.

Relatively speaking, Peng Yuqian's movements are much more difficult.

The filming difficulty of "Inception" is more difficult than that of Zhang Sheng's previous films.

However, Zhang Sheng has improved his director ability by leaps and bounds after several films.

Of course, this is inseparable from his own talent and hard work.

This movie doesn't say it's handy, but it doesn't feel powerless either.

Jiang Bin did not steal the show, but some professional habits could not be changed.

Zhang Sheng did not object to this.

Learn from each other.

He didn't collect the money, so if he counted it, he still earned it.

Of course, it is mainly Jiang Bin's suggestion, which sometimes falls on the point.

At the end of November, after shooting Shen Bo for more than two months, the scene was completed.

Then I couldn't wait to fly to the United States.

"Detective Chinatown 2" has already started, and that guy Liu Yuan urged him several times.

"Being involved in a play by my own artist is still a play of my own company." Gu Sisi looked at Zhang Sheng and said, "How does it feel?"

Her smile seemed a little gloating, and a bit resentful.

In order to finish Shen Bo's scene as soon as possible, Zhang Sheng adjusted the filming plan several times.

It even delayed the shooting of his own film.

Gu Sisi was naturally also affected.

She has a very full schedule.

"I didn't expect Liu Yuan to move so fast. "Detective Chinatown 2" started nearly a month earlier than expected!" Zhang Sheng shook his head and said, "Otherwise, according to the previous plan, this situation would not exist at all."

Zhang Sheng is suffering.

After all, Shen Bo starred in the movie "Detective Chinatown 2", and Liu Yuan greeted him in advance.

He also agreed.

It's just that I didn't expect Liu Yuan's movie to start in advance.

What can he do?
Just like what Gu Sisi said, his own artists are making plays, and what's more, they are making plays from their own company.

No way, that can only find a way to solve it.

That guy Liu Yuan is now in the United States, even if he wants to scold him, he can't find anyone.

If the shooting plan is not adjusted, is it possible to let the crew of "Detective Chinatown 2" wait in the United States.

That loss can be bigger than this.

"Director Liu must have miscalculated the filming progress of our film, right?" Gu Sisi said.

Zhang Sheng opened his mouth and finally sighed.

The shooting of "Inception" was indeed slower than expected.

And the responsibility lies with Zhang Sheng.

He is too refined.

Although the preparation is sufficient, it is impossible to cover everything, and it is inevitable that there is something that has not been considered.

Any crew will encounter temporary changes.

This is also where Zhang Sheng is depressed.

If it weren't for the fact that the shooting progress was slower than expected, although Liu Yuanlai had to adjust the shooting plan, it really wouldn't affect my own shooting.

Whichever is less harmful.

He wasted some time here, and the loss was not as high as that of Liu Yuan.

"This year, Changsheng Entertainment should have another bumper year, right?" Gu Sisi said, "I heard that there will be a movie released on Christmas and New Year's Day?"

"A low-budget romantic movie." Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "It's hard to say how the box office will be. Relatively speaking, I am more optimistic about the animated movie that will be released during the Spring Festival."

Zhang Sheng had high hopes for that movie.

It doesn't need to have the box office of the original version, as long as it has half of it, it can detonate the domestic animation film market.

Because that movie is called: "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World"!
The original box office of this movie seems to have broken 50.

Half of the box office, that is more than 20 billion.

This box office can enter the top of the total box office.

If such a box office can't detonate the domestic animation film market, then it can't be justified.

What's more, if it kicks off the rise of domestic film and animation, the film is likely to become an image-level film, and the box office can be imagined.
