Chapter one hundred and ninety-six scared to admit cowardly(3/5)
Bai Lingfei's career may face a cold winter like Cai Zhining's.
As for whether it can survive, or whether there is a chance for a comeback, it is unknown.
"If you want to praise your own artists, don't you do it this way?"
Wang Mei looked at Zhang Yu, a little surprised.
Naturally, she strongly supported the filming of "Crazy Racing".
However, she was shocked when Zhang Yu wanted to use Liu Bo as the male lead.
Liu Bo is remembered by many movie fans for his dark role in "Crazy Stone", but he is only a minor hit and has no box office appeal at all.
The competition for the Spring Festival stalls is very fierce.
If it were replaced by an actor with stronger box office appeal, the film's box office potential would be greatly increased.
This can also increase the film's box office competitiveness.
"The selling point of this type of film has never been the actors." Zhang Yu said, "Rather than praising the actors, it's better to say that I praising the director."
When Wang Mei heard this, she was thoughtful.
Not to mention "Buried Alive", "Crazy Stone" is not the actors that are most recognized by the industry, but the director and screenwriter.
The actors may have become popular due to their outstanding roles, but it is the screenwriters and directors who play the key role.
After this movie, Zhang Yu's screenwriting talent and Ning Yuan's directing talent are undoubtedly more recognized.
"Fine!"
Wang Mei just said that. Seeing Zhang Yu's firm attitude, she didn't say anything more.
If you talk too much, it will affect your relationship.
Zhang Yu himself is very independent, let alone a movie he invested in and wrote.
Isn't this the same in the casting of "Crazy Stone"?
"The company will definitely support your movie." Wang Mei continued, "By the way, Tian Na came to see me."
"Tana?"
Zhang Yu was a little surprised, but then he felt relieved.
Tian Na is a diva singer under Orange Media. Although she was not brought out by Wang Mei, Wang Mei was also in charge of the artist department of Orange Media.
Tian Na was not brought out by Wang Mei, but Tian Na’s manager was!
"What, she's not going to jump out of the nest, is she?" Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Probably not, I heard that Chengzi Media is releasing an album for her."
The talk of jumping off the nest is just a joke.
Zhang Yu still had some guesses about the purpose of Tian Na's search for Wang Mei.
"She is afraid of competing with Ruoxue's album." Wang Mei glanced at Zhang Yu and said, "Your song "Broad Sea and Sky" had a greater impact on Bai Lingfei's album than imagined. Cai Zhining is in front, Bai Lingfei is behind
, and there is also Xie Xin and Tian Na, who obviously have no confidence in competing with Ruoxue’s album. It is estimated that no one in the music world is willing to compete with Ruoxue’s album.”
"Ruoxue's album has been produced for a long time." Zhang Yu said with a smile.
Is the time really not right?
"What kind of temperament do you have that I don't understand yet?" Wang Mei curled her lips and said, "Don't tell me, if you knew Tian Na was going to release an album, would you have no idea?"
"I do have some ideas." Zhang Yu said with a smile, "We were planning to step on her before!"
us?
That's not just what Zhang Yu means, Yang Ruoxue also means the same thing.
The first album disgraced a would-be diva, which was a passive response.
Do you want to step on a diva with this second album?
Is it possible?
You will know it just by looking at Tian Na’s reaction.
Wang Mei was not surprised by Zhang Yu and Yang Ruoxue's confidence.
"You guys!"
Wang Mei didn't know what to say for a while.
Is it necessary to retaliate?
It seems quite a bit.
"What does Sister Hua mean?" Zhang Yu asked with a smile.
Defeating Tian Na, there will be many benefits if you win.
But the risk is not small.
Tian Na is a queen after all, and she is very popular now.
"It's not enough for Tian Na to speak." Wang Mei said lightly.
When Zhang Yu heard this, he smiled.
Then who needs to speak?
Naturally, it’s Orange Media.
Wang Mei wants Orange Media to give in.
Of course, it is not enough to just give in. For example, it is enough to promise not to target someone in the future.
This promise may not be binding, but it does give you face.
"Hey, Sister Hua is here too!"
Fang Zhengxian walked in and said with a smile.
"Is there any good news?" Zhang Yu said with a smile.
"For us, it's not good news, but for some people, it's definitely bad news." Fang Zhengxian said, ""Fengshen" has not only failed at the box office overseas, but also in terms of word-of-mouth.
Already."
"Isn't this good news?" Zhang Yu smiled and said, "If it is bad news for some people, then it is good news for us."
It was something that was expected, and Zhang Yu was not too surprised.
Fang Zhengxian just smiled.
No good news?
That's because "Fengshen" was a hit overseas, which didn't do "Crazy Stone" any good.
"Crazy Stone" is still firmly at the top of the single-day box office list.
Even though a new movie was released on August 16, the new movie only stayed at the top of the single-day box office list for one day.
Of course, that film still had some impact on "Crazy Stone".
At least the film schedule has some impact.
It just has a limited impact.
"Fengshen" received a good reputation at the domestic box office.
Now the film's rating on MovieNet has dropped to 5.7.
As for the box office, I'm afraid it won't be even 400 million.
If it hits the market abroad, that means the movie is destined to lose money.
But "Crazy Stone" is different.
The money was repaid as soon as it was released, and every day after that was made.
It may be impossible for this movie to break over 1 billion at the box office, but it is a sure thing to surpass the box office of "Buried Alive".
As for overseas box office
Zhang Yu is not optimistic about it anyway.
It is estimated that it will not be released, but the rights will only be sold.
There are quite a few restrictions on the release of foreign films in the country, but the same applies to the release of domestic films abroad.
"I'm afraid Feng Yongqing will pay tens of millions this time." Wang Mei said with some sigh.
Even if the domestic box office reaches 400 million, the box office split will only be a little over 100 million.
Coupled with the copyright and overseas box office, it would be great to be able to recoup 200 million yuan.
Then Feng Yongqing has to make up for the rest.
Tens of millions, maybe count down.
It might be possible to compensate him 100 million.
