Chapter 210 Who is not frivolous(2/5)
Wang Mei is now basically the second-in-command of Wansheng Film and Television.
Of course, the premise is that Wansheng Group does not interfere.
And now the top leader of Wansheng Film and Television is someone who came from the group company.
That person was still a senior executive who advocated Wansheng Group’s entry into the entertainment industry.
If Wang Mei wants to replace him, it may not be as difficult as usual.
After all, Wansheng Film and Television is just a company under Wansheng Group.
"Wansheng Group is planning to buy a major Hollywood film and television company and use it as a springboard to enter the international market." Wang Mei said.
When Zhang Yu heard this, he looked a little surprised.
This is very similar to a certain company in a previous life.
There is a lot of capital behind it, so it’s really extraordinary to play!
Taking action is a big move.
However, that company seemed to have bad luck, with several blockbuster movies flopping on the market.
"I will try my best to cooperate with the publicity."
Zhang Yu said.
Regardless of their personal relationship or work considerations, Zhang Yu naturally hopes that Wang Mei can go further.
His participation in publicity may not have much effect.
But if you don’t publicize it, it will inevitably leave a knot in the other person’s mind.
If he participates, even if the movie fails, he can't be blamed.
If Wansheng Group really acquires a major Hollywood film and television company, it is highly possible that the top leader of Wansheng Film and Television will be transferred there.
When Wang Mei heard this, she smiled.
Zhang Yu's high popularity will definitely attract more people to pay attention to this movie.
What's more, Zhang Yu is also very topical.
Some things, if applied to other celebrities, probably wouldn't make any waves.
But if it were placed on Zhang Yu, it might be a hot search.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Yu participated in the promotion, she became a hot search topic.
Not the kind you buy with money.
Just by participating in the promotion, a hot search came up. Although the ranking is not high, it is still very surprising.
If the theme song composed by Zhang Yu for the movie is released, wouldn't it directly top the list of hot searches?
However, that song will not be released to the public until the premiere.
Not a premiere, but a premiere.
This type of blockbusters will basically hold a premiere to build momentum.
The investment in "The Great Sage" is over 200 million, and this does not include Cheng Jie's salary and other factors.
When promoting the movie, the investment cost is naturally used as a gimmick.
Not much of an exaggeration.
It was announced that the investment was 400 million.
If the publicity and distribution costs are included, this film has really reached this figure.
Four hundred million?
Excluding foreign box office, the domestic box office does not exceed one billion, which is definitely a loss.
As for foreign box office?
This is really hard to say.
Cheng Jie has good appeal at the foreign box office, but this film is a mythical blockbuster, which is obviously very different from Cheng Jie's previous action movies.
Zhang Yu participated in the promotion and was naturally asked about his views on the novel "Journey to the West".
For example, others were asked why Sun Wukong was so awesome when he was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, but his fighting ability was so bad when he was learning the scriptures?
Other actors have said that they have been suppressed by Wuzhishan for five hundred years, and their combat power has naturally declined.
Some people said that he was "played like a monkey".
The reason why he appears to be so powerful is simply that Buddhism has reached an agreement with the Heavenly Court, and causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace is just a show directed by a partner.
The purpose is just to help Sun Wukong gain reputation and then highlight Tathagata's awesomeness.
But Zhang Yu's answer was completely different.
"When he was in trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he started his own business and naturally tried his best. But on the way to learn from it, he completely became a part-time worker." Zhang Yu said lightly, "You can expect a person who failed to start a business to be successful while working.
How hard do you work?"
As soon as he said this, countless people were shocked.
Among them is director Jiang Chengbin.
It seems true when you think about it!
The reporter made things difficult and asked Zhang Yu to summarize the characteristics of the four people who learned from the experience in one sentence.
Zhang Yu's words immediately stopped all reporters from making things difficult for him.
His mouth is so bad.
"You must be middle-aged, right? Then it is inevitable to have the pressure of Wukong, Bajie's figure, Sha Seng's hair, and Tang Monk's nagging... The key is that we are getting closer and closer to the West!"
In this way, Zhang Yu directly put this movie on the hot search list.
The ranking may not be in the top three, but the discussion on the Internet is amazing.
Many topics about "Journey to the West" have been stirred up on the Internet.
On July 11, "The Great Sage" held a grand premiere in Zhonghai.
Many celebrities in the industry were invited to support the show.
Many famous directors were also invited.
For example, Zhang Hang and Xu Sen are among them.
Yang Ruoxue attended with Zhang Yu, and Yuan Xiang was also a guest performer, preparing to perform on stage.
The premiere was broadcast live online and attracted a lot of attention.
Yuan Xiang's appearance on the Internet is also of great benefit.
This opportunity was naturally fought for by Zhang Yu.
"How are you preparing for the concert?"
Before the premiere started, Zhang Yu saw Yuan Xiang and asked casually.
They haven't seen each other for a long time.
Zhang Yu has been back for more than half a month, and this is the first time he meets Yuan Xiang.
This guy prepares for concerts, and occasionally participates in some commercial performances, attends some events, etc.
And Zhang Yu is also busy promoting the movie.
Not to mention Yuan Xiang, Zhang Yu even met Yang Ruoxue only once.
Yang Ruoxue has also been very busy recently.
"It's okay." Yuan Xiang said.
He was naturally very attentive to his first concert.
There is a saying in the industry that concerts are an important criterion for testing the success of a singer.
"Where is your girlfriend?" Zhang Yu then asked, "When will I bring her out to introduce her to everyone?"
Yuan Xiang has a girlfriend, although it has not been announced to the public yet.
But how could Zhang Yu not know?
Whether it's from Fang Zhengxian or Li Jie.
He has heard a lot of them.
Li Jie, in particular, undoubtedly talks a lot.
Brag in the group from time to time.
After all, he can be regarded as Yuan Xiang's introducer.
"Oh!" Yuan Xiang smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's wait until the concert is over."
