Chapter 224 Zhang Yu's first movie(2/3)
If it were released for another month and a half, it would be really impossible to break 2 billion.
However, Wansheng Film and Television may not extend the release time.
"Although this film was shot and produced by our studio, Wansheng Film and Television can also be regarded as an investor and producer." Fang Zhengxian said, "The film has exceeded 2 billion, which should be of great significance to Wansheng Film and Television, right?"
Zhang Yu shook his head.
"After all, they are not in charge," Zhang Yu said, "What's more, Wansheng Film and Television is more pragmatic and may not care much about these false names."
Fang Zhengxian sighed.
How could he not know this?
There is no doubt that if "The Richest Man in Xihong City" exceeds 2 billion, it will be of great significance to Studio Thirteen.
After all, two billion is a big hurdle.
"Why don't you find Sister Hua?"
Before Fang Zhengxian finished speaking, Zhang Yu waved his hand to stop him.
"I'm more pragmatic than them." Zhang Yu said with a smile, "So what if it breaks 2 billion, how much more can I earn? For that little money, it's even worse to owe a favor."
Fang Zhengxian said nothing.
What Zhang Yu said makes sense.
Favors are more valuable.
They've already made too much money from this movie.
This is also the most profitable work of Studio Thirteen.
There is no need to owe a favor for that false reputation.
""Strange Case" shouldn't have lost any money, right?" Fang Zhengxian asked curiously.
The cumulative box office of this film has not exceeded 500 million.
Ranked behind the top five during the entire Spring Festival.
In addition, "Crime" also broke 1 billion.
This year’s Spring Festival holiday season was a bit of a stretch, with only two films exceeding 1 billion.
However, the total box office was slightly higher than last year.
The total box office in the domestic market is increasing every year.
This is especially true during the Spring Festival.
"Probably not." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "However, I guess there is no money to be made."
"The Richest Man in Xihong City" was able to win such a high box office and directly enter the top five in the domestic box office list. "Strange Case" undoubtedly played a big role.
"The Richest Man in Xihong City" undoubtedly accounts for half of the market vacated by this film.
"Are you really going to write, direct and star in a film?" Fang Zhengxian asked immediately.
"Of course! Do you think you are joking?" Zhang Yu said, "I have already written the script."
"Oh?" Fang Zhengxian heard it and said immediately, "Let me see, what type is it?"
Fang Zhengxian was not surprised by Zhang Yu's transformation into a director, but concerns were unavoidable.
After all, Zhang Yu didn't study directing, and he didn't have much exposure to film and television.
Movies are not as easy as they look.
The more you make, the more you lose.
"Comedy!" Zhang Yu said, "I'll send you the script later. By the way, Liu Bo seems to have been shortlisted for Best Actor?"
"right!"
Fang Zhengxian heard this and immediately smiled.
Naturally, Liu Bo was not shortlisted for "Crazy Racing".
It's a literary film he's working on.
The kind that costs very little.
It was so small that Liu Bo invested his own money.
That money was a red envelope given by Zhang Yu to Liu Bo after "Crazy Racing" became a hit at the box office.
Liu Bo's current salary is really not very high.
As for Zhang Yu's talk about making a comedy film, Fang Zhengxian was relieved a lot.
For comedy films, the investment generally won’t be too big.
Moreover, Wansheng Film and Television shares the risk.
Relatively speaking, Fang Zhengxian had less confidence in Zhang Yu than Wang Mei.
Maybe it involves self-interest.
Founder Display has profits and dividends.
And the money he took last year was more than what he earned by starting his own company.
Well, when he founded the film and television company, he lost a lot of money.
Fang Zhengxian got the script very quickly.
"Tang Bohu Lights Up Autumn Fragrance"!
Tang Bohu and Qiuxiang should be personal names.
But who are they?
Fang Zhengxian was a little confused.
When I opened the script and read it, I immediately understood.
This is a fictional story.
What four great talents?
There are quite a few in history, but there really is no such person as Tang Yin and Tang Bohu.
As for Zhu Zhishan, there is no such thing.
What's more, Zhu Zhishan in this drama has a bit of a talented person.
When Zhang Yu wrote this script, he naturally looked up some history and made no adjustments.
Not necessary.
What's more, the original version of Tang Bohu Lights the Autumn Fragrance is nothing more than fiction.
Although there is Qiuxiang in history, he lived in the middle of Ming Dynasty with Tang Bohu.
But she is at least twenty years older than Tang Bohu.
Although Qiuxiang was very popular in Jinling, it was difficult for them to have a romantic affair.
On the other hand, Zhu Zhishan saw the Qiuxiang fan on some unknown occasion, and wrote a poem called Qijue: "A picture of a small golden fan shaking jade, a fairy dwelling in a pavilion with five clouds; I read the characters Qiuxiang between the lines, and I knew it was a book written by Xue Xiao of Chengdu."
Since they are all fictitious, why adjust them?
What's more, some talented people in this world may have many romantic affairs, but there really is nothing like them.
Since there is none, there is no need to graft this story onto others.
Moreover, this drama is nonsensical. If it is really related to certain historical events, some people will probably jump out and criticize it.
The script has been written, but obviously it is impossible to prepare and start shooting immediately.
During this period, Thirteen Studio has many good projects.
The preparations for "Wolf Warrior 2" are also nearing completion, and filming may begin soon.
In addition, preparations for the TV series "Snow Leopard" have also begun.
Although the former is not led by Studio Thirteen, it still needs to be followed up.
The latter is actually led by the studio.
The script was written and preparations were not rushed, but Zhang Yu began to look for actors.
He plays Tang Bohu, which is nothing to say.
What about Qiuxiang, the heroine?
How about letting Ruoxue come?
She seems to be out of schedule!
Yang Ruoxue is preparing to hold a concert tour this year.
She is already maintaining preparations.
To be continued...
