Chapter 191 Want to succeed again(1/3)
Zhang Yu is the largest investor in the film "Crazy Stone", but he is not the only investor.
Wansheng Film and Television is also an investor and producer.
The investment may not be much, but the conveniences are there.
Otherwise, if "Fengshen" hadn't been released, how could a small-budget film get 20% of the film schedule?
Even if there are no blockbusters released during the same period.
Even though the blockbuster film "Fengshen" was scheduled to be released, "Crazy Stone" still received 15% of the film schedule.
One can imagine the role Wansheng Film and Television played in this.
Without the investment from Wansheng Film and Television, this film would have been able to get 10% of the initial screening, which would have been pretty good.
You can enjoy the shade by leaning against a big tree.
The promotional conference for "Crazy Stone" begins.
There were quite a few media reporters who came.
Is it about the film itself, or is it about Zhang Yu personally?
Maybe both.
However, regardless of their purpose of coming, it is a good thing that they are here.
When it comes to propaganda, you are not afraid of too many reporters, but only of too few.
Zhang Yu is naturally experienced in this kind of publicity activities.
This experience does not come from "Buried Alive", but from Xu Sen's "Jiang Hu" and Zhang Hang's "The Great Wall".
The processes for these types of publicity activities are mostly similar.
In the end, there is no doubt that they are all interviewed by the media.
Among the actors in "Crazy Stone", none of them are very well-known, at least it is difficult to compare with Zhang Yu.
This is why Ning Yuanfei wants to drag him into publicity.
When it comes to media interviews, Zhang Yu becomes the first choice of reporters.
"Mr. Zhang, there are rumors on the Internet that the release of "Fengshen" is aimed at "Crazy Stone", which is invested by your screenwriter. What do you think of this?" A reporter asked, ""Crazy Stone" is a small-budget movie.
, can it withstand the impact of the blockbuster film "Fengshen"?"
"You shouldn't ask me why "Fengshen" was released and whether it was for "Crazy Stone"." Zhang Yu said lightly, "However, although our film is only a small-budget film, I am confident that it will
It will shine with dazzling light.”
What does Zhang Yu mean?
He didn't seem to deny that the release of "Fengshen" was for "Crazy Stone"!
Yes, I just didn’t deny it.
He even asked everyone to ask why "Fengshen" was released and why "Crazy Stone" was targeted.
Well, that's what he meant.
Not also.
And what does the next sentence mean?
That is to say, Orange Media's blockbuster "Fengshen" cannot suppress the shine of "Crazy Stone".
It may even be overshadowed by the dazzling light of "Crazy Stone".
Zhang Shisan is so confident.
Where did he get his confidence?
"Mr. Zhang, do you think "Crazy Stone" will be better than the blockbuster "Fengshen"?"
A reporter asked.
Did they understand it wrong?
If you are wrong, you are wrong!
Zhang Yu naturally knew that the media had misunderstood the meaning of his previous words.
This is the effect he wants.
As for publicity, if you don’t create topics, how can the publicity effect be good?
"What counts as better?" Zhang Yu said, "Word of mouth, or box office?"
"The two films are of different genres, how do we compare?" Zhang Yu continued, ""Crazy Stone" can make back its money if the box office exceeds 100 million, but if the investment of "Fengshen" really exceeds 300 million, the box office will not reach 1 billion, how will it be recovered?
Book?"
The promotion for "Feng Shen" said that the investment exceeded 300 million.
As for how much, I guess only they themselves know.
However, Zhang Yu felt that there should be moisture.
This kind of thing is very common in the industry.
Create momentum!
Just like "Fengshen" is still trying to hit the international market!
Those media reporters obviously wanted to put the two films together and make the matter bigger.
Zhang Yu was naturally happy to see the success and was very cooperative.
The entire press conference seemed very harmonious.
Of course, Zhang Yu would not foolishly regard this promotional event as his personal show. From time to time, he would still shift the topic to Ning Yuan and other actors in the film.
After a press conference ended, the media reported that the connection between "Crazy Stone" and the film "Fengshen" became even closer.
In terms of publicity, "Crazy Stone" can be said to have taken advantage of it.
However, this is not without risks.
Just like today, there are constant ridicules on the Internet.
A small-budget comedy film dares to be compared with a blockbuster film with an investment of over 300 million.
Why?
Where is your face?
In particular, the creator of "Fengshen" is extremely disdainful of "Crazy Stone", which undoubtedly makes this kind of voice more frequent.
Among them, director Feng Yongqing did not shy away from ridiculing Zhang Yu and Ning Yuan.
Do they understand movies too?
But I was lucky enough to make a movie with a good reputation, so I thought I knew movies and felt that I was great.
This undoubtedly makes the conflict between them more intense.
Of course, this also caused a lot of controversy.
For example, Feng Yongqing said that Zhang Yu and Ning Yuan did not understand movies, and even mentioned "Buried Alive".
What he said was that if he was allowed to make such a film, it would definitely be better than Ning Yuan's.
As for Zhang Yu's performance in the film: her acting skills are barely adequate and a bit exaggerated.
If you change any actor and take a few more shots, you can achieve the same effect.
The success of the movie "Buried Alive" was purely due to their luck.
And such people cannot go far.
Zhang Shisan should just sing his songs well.
This is the most controversial statement.
After all, this movie was recognized by the Golden Dragon Award.
Ning Yuan and Zhang Yu were also nominated for the Golden Dragon Award for this film.
Even if you don't win the award in the end, what qualifications do you, Feng Yongqing, have to question "Buried Alive" and Ning Yuan and Zhang Shisan?
Feng Yongqing is a first-line director in China and has won many awards.
His box office appeal is also strong.
He can also be regarded as the leading director of Orange Media.
However, he has a bad mouth and is famous both inside and outside the circle.
When Zhang Yu was asked about this, he only said: You should ask the Golden Dragon Award judges what they think about this?
Of course, these are all things for later.
After the promotional conference, Zhang Yu directly called Wang Mei.
