This star is too fierce

Chapter 417
The summer file is over, and the popularity of "Inception" has dropped, but the film will be postponed to the National Day file.

Judging from the current box office popularity, if nothing else, breaking 50 billion is hopeless.

However, it should be no problem to surpass the box office of the animated movie "Nezha" and rank second on the domestic box office list.

The box office in North America is expected to be about [-] million US dollars, and in other Asian countries and regions, as well as markets such as Europe, the cumulative box office should exceed [-] million US dollars.

It is no problem that the film's foreign box office has exceeded [-] million U.S. dollars.

The cumulative global box office is more than one billion US dollars.

In this way, the box office can enter the top [-] in the global box office list.

The investment is more than 8 million, which is more than 1 million US dollars.

Of course, this does not include the publicity fee.

Still, the movie was clearly a big money-maker.

Although the film is not the first in the domestic box office list, it is definitely the highest-grossing film in the world for Chinese-language films.

Its influence cannot be ignored.

This is why Zhang Sheng's new film has received so much attention.

Not just domestic attention.

Foreign countries are also paying attention.

Therefore, any new moves in Zhang Sheng's new film were quickly spread.

It was first rumored that Yihuo Zinc would star in this movie, and then it was rumored that Fang Long and Wu Jie would also star in this movie.

Of course, there are some true and false news.

Some of them were spread by Changsheng Entertainment.

Of course, there is still a part that is rubbish.

Now, it is rumored who will star in Zhang Sheng's movie, and it will immediately receive great attention.

This exposure rate is still very useful for many celebrity artists.

"A cartoon?"

Zhou Zhao looked at Zhang Sheng, a little surprised.

Lu Wenhua next to him was lost in thought.

He's wondering if it's possible.

Is it feasible?
Obviously doable.

Use movies to promote cartoons, and cartoons to promote movies.

As for the TV series, it is obviously not suitable.

Lu Wenhua could clearly see that Zhang Sheng wanted to create a series of movies.

He didn't know the market reaction for the first film, but he had already started to create a series of films.

That's how much confidence there is.

"Perhaps the biggest profit is not in the movie box office, but in the film and television peripherals." Zhang Sheng said, "It is obvious that only one movie can not make the film and television peripheral products sell well for a long time."

"Film and TV peripherals?" Zhou Zhao was a little stunned.

At this moment, he understood Zhang Sheng's real purpose in making this movie.

Movies, animation, film and television peripherals.
This is the development of an IP to the extreme.

This is what Changsheng Entertainment is trying now.

However, the premise is probably that the movie is a big hit.

"Don't you think that Transformers are very suitable for making toys?" Zhang Sheng said, "Don't your children have a car toy? How do those car toys compare with Transformers?"

Zhou Zhao and Lu Wenhua looked at each other, then nodded.

Their children really have a lot of car toys.

And there's more than one.

It has nothing to do with boys and girls.

Who says girls don't like car toys?
Did you make a fool of yourself?

there must be.

As for the production of related animations, it is obviously not a big deal for Changsheng Entertainment.

Let the screenwriting department write animation scripts according to Zhang Sheng's settings, which will not trouble those in the screenwriting department.

In addition, it is obviously not difficult for the animation department to produce corresponding animations.

Changsheng Entertainment now has such capabilities.

Perhaps, what should be discussed and studied most today is that this cartoon is aimed at children of that age group.

Cartoons are also divided into age groups.

The hero and heroine of the movie version of "Transformers" are college students.

This is because of film demand.

After all, in today's movies, there are very few romance elements.

If the background is abroad, it is completely feasible to set the hero and heroine as high school students.

But in China, falling in love in high school is puppy love.

Therefore, Zhang Sheng set it as a freshman.

However, cartoons obviously don't need to be like this.

Not to mention high school students, junior high school students, and elementary school students may not be impossible.

How to set it specifically needs to be modified according to the market.

Not necessarily impossible even for college students.

There are a lot of cartoons suitable for adults to watch nowadays.

Animation adapted from web texts is still very popular on the Internet.

Those obviously aren't depreciated.

In early October, "Inception" was released worldwide.

The domestic box office won 48 billion, ranking second on the box office list.

The foreign box office is as previously estimated, and the cumulative box office has exceeded [-] million U.S. dollars.

This undoubtedly broke the foreign box office record of Chinese-language films, and directly doubled.

Previously, "Terminator", which had the most domestic box office, was only more than 2 million US dollars.

As for the foreign box office of the film, the North American box office is undoubtedly the one that contributed the most.

The box office of nearly [-] million US dollars is enough to compare with many Hollywood blockbusters.

In second place is Japan.

After all, it is the third largest film market in the world.

What's more, people have a good life when they are young.

The box office of "Inception" ranks No.17 in the global box office list.

This is also the first time a Chinese film has entered the top [-] at the global box office.

This film is also of great significance for Chinese-language films.

Shortly after the film was refined, "Terminator 2" was the first to start.

Zhang Sheng took time to attend the film launch conference.

"Terminator" achieved a dazzling box office, and it was the first Chinese-language film to break [-] million at the box office in North America.

A sequel to this film clearly has a lot to offer.

Investors have increased a lot.

Why didn't Zhang Sheng direct it himself?

This is the doubt of many movie fans.

Media reporters naturally asked about it at the press conference.

"Why didn't you direct "Terminator 2"?" Zhang Sheng said with a smile, "It's one thing that you don't have the skills to double up. In addition, the most important thing is to change the director to bring freshness to this series of movies."

"Actually, I don't like to make sequels. I always make a series of movies, which tends to make my thinking rigid." Zhang Sheng said, "Of course, the reason why "Resident Evil" made two movies is because I prepared for it from the very beginning. The two were filmed together. Therefore, "Resident Evil 3" also changed directors."

"Changing a director and injecting fresh blood into this series can increase the vitality of this series, which is also a responsibility to fans."

Zhang Sheng gave a lot of reasons.

In fact, the main reason why he doesn't make a sequel is nothing more than that there are many movies he can make.

I can't even shoot it, so I don't have the interest to make a sequel.

After the opening press conference, Zhang Sheng was dragged by Xu Rui to make a guest appearance in the movie.

Zhang Sheng did not refuse.

In the first part, Wu Jie's cameo role was dead.

He doesn't have any cameos.

It's just a scene, and it won't waste much time.

"Resident Evil 3" was launched immediately after, and Zhang Sheng also participated in its launch conference.

At the press conference, the questions he was asked were very similar to "Terminator 2".

Zhang Sheng's answer is also very similar.

After the press conference, Wu Xian also pulled Zhang Sheng to make him a cameo in the film.

You can't favor one over another.

Zhang Sheng agreed.

Then regret it.

His cameo role is that of a zombie.

The kind that takes half a day to put on makeup and less than half a minute to appear on stage.

The zombie who was hit to death by a car at the beginning received a boxed lunch.

When shooting, I also gave him a close-up.

Although it is a zombie, fans should be able to recognize Zhang Sheng as a cameo at a glance.

If Wang Jun and the others knew about it, they would probably say: the way of heaven is reincarnation, and whoever is spared by heaven.

"When will your new movie start?" Gu Sisi asked.

Perhaps because of Gu Sisi, Zhang Sheng spent a relatively longer time in the crew of "Resident Evil 3".

His new film is still in the preparation stage, so he doesn't have to do everything himself.

"Next year will be the beginning of the year." Zhang Sheng said, "Why, do you want to come to the film for a cameo?"

"Preparation for so long?" Gu Sisi asked.

She thought that Zhang Sheng's new film would be launched at the end of the year.

As for guest appearances, if she has time, she naturally doesn't mind.

"Preparation is one aspect." Zhang Sheng said, "Actor's schedule is also a reason."

Of course, the main reason is preparation.

Not all Transformers are produced with special effects, and props will be used during filming.

Gu Sisi nodded.

Although she doesn't participate in this movie, Wu Jie, the hero of "Resident Evil 3", will participate.

And if this movie goes well, it can be completed before the Spring Festival.

If it doesn't go well, it's probably possible to spend the Spring Festival with the crew.

Even if Zhang Sheng's new film starts ahead of schedule, it will be troublesome to shoot due to schedule conflicts.

It appeared during the filming of "Inception".

"Where is the heroine?" Gu Sisi asked.

The heroine of "Transformers" has not yet been determined.

Zhang Sheng said that the temperament of the artists and female artists under Changsheng Entertainment does not match, they are a little less sexy and less youthful.

"I'm going to go to the Film Academy." Zhang Sheng said.

There are actually quite a few crews who go to the film academy to cast roles.

However, compared with Zhang Sheng this time, there is obviously a big difference in momentum and influence.

Zhang Sheng was born in Yenching Film Academy, so the first choice is naturally Yenching Film Academy.

"Teacher Feng!"

When Zhang Sheng returned to the Film Academy, besides the school leaders, his former teacher Feng Lan also came.

The school still attaches great importance to Zhang Sheng's casting this time.

Of course, it is not because of the star-making ability of Zhang Sheng's movies.

The key still lies in Zhang Sheng.

The film academy has produced many stars and directors.

But when it comes to achievements, it must be Zhang Sheng.

The key is that Zhang Sheng is still very young.

Being young means that his current achievements are far from his peak.

Yenching Film Academy is about to produce an international director.

Perhaps, Zhang Sheng is already an international director.

This has brought unimaginable benefits to Yanjing Film Academy.

Among other things, it is much easier for Yanjing Film Academy to recruit students because of Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng has long been on the Yanjing Film Academy's outstanding alumni wall.

"Long time no see, I have to call Director Zhang when I see you again." Feng Lan said with a smile.

Among the students she taught, many of them were smashed by the crew.

There are also direct withdrawals.

And what about Zhang Sheng?

Already internationally renowned.

She still remembers that Zhang Sheng asked her to ask for leave to participate in a music program a few years ago.

At that time, he said that he wanted to make money to make movies.

She didn't take it seriously, thinking that he was going to go further and further on the road of being a singer.

But he didn't want what he said to be true.

It's only been a few years, and he has earned money and made movies.

Who would have thought?
A director student who debuted as a singer has achieved such an achievement in a short period of time.

The entertainment company he founded with the money he earned from singing has now become a top company in the industry.

Really
I am so lucky to have such an amazing student.
