Chapter 299 Zhang Shisan's box office appeal is so terrifying(1/3)
It is not uncommon for filming or production to be overspent.
But like Zhang Yu, who exceeded 200 million or 300 million this time, it has never appeared.
At least it has not appeared in China.
After all, there are not many films in China that have invested more than 200 million to 300 million.
I have overspending so much, I wonder if investors have scolded me!
It must be a scolding!
However, Zhang Shisan himself is one of the investors, so he should have scolded him relatively less!
Perhaps, he paid the overpaid money alone.
"What about super in what?"
The reporter felt a little incredible and asked curiously.
Could this be a gimmick that Zhang Shisan put forward for publicity?
“Special effects!”
Zhang Yu said.
The overspending of 200 million to 300 million is really not a gimmick for publicity.
It's really super.
And it's special effects.
Zhang Yu incorporated some kung fu elements into the original Transformers fight scenes, and then it goes without saying.
Those special effects shots are just a burning money!
However, from the perspective of the effect, Zhang Yu felt that it was much better than the original.
The scene is undoubtedly bigger.
The movements were even more explosive.
Zhang Yu wanted to pay for the extra money, but other investors were unwilling to do so.
They are obviously optimistic about the box office of the movie, too.
Even if the domestic box office reaches 3 billion, you can make a profit.
With Zhang Yu's current box office appeal, as long as the quality of the film is good enough, 3 billion is still fine.
Moreover, the box office abroad will definitely be good.
Although it was overspent, the excess part was still based on the investment ratio.
Of course, Thirteen Film and Television is still the largest investor.
"Parasite" won the Cannes Palme d'Or again. When screenwriter Zhang Shisan was interviewed by the media, he revealed that "Transformers" exceeded 200 million or 300 million, and the topic of this matter is quite popular.
Because before "Transformers", it was only 700 to 800 million.
This means that the investment in this film is over one billion.
I'm afraid this is a blockbuster movie in Hollywood, right?
Nowadays, movies with box office over one billion are not common in China.
However, Zhang Shisan came up with a film that invested more than one billion yuan.
This is definitely a record for domestic film investment.
It even doubled.
With such a big deal, he is probably the only one who is Zhang Shisan.
"You have broken the popularity of director Zhang Hang's work for the Cannes Palme d'Or," said Zhang Yu, Fangzheng County Township, sighing, "One word: awesome!"
I guess no one expected that under such circumstances, the topic of "Transformers" could attract such great popularity.
Isn't it just overspending?
All right!
It's a bit much.
I guess many people didn’t expect that overspends can become a gimmick for film promotion, and it has become a hot topic.
"If you don't even have a little popularity, wouldn't you lose a lot?" Zhang Yu said.
deficit?
If the quality of the film is improved, the box office will be more guaranteed, and then there will be no loss.
Otherwise, why do other investors follow the investment ratio?
"The trailer should be released, right?" Fang Zhengxian said.
"Yeah!" Zhang Yu pointed and said, "This time, it's also considered to be a driver of Director Zhang's popularity."
"How can this be considered a waste?" Fang Zhengxian said, "You are the screenwriter of that movie, and you are also named the producer."
After the trailer for "Transformers" was released, Zhang Yu even posted a Weibo post directly.
"Although it exceeded 200 million or 300 million, it is still worth it from the perspective of the video effect."
Below is the trailer for "Transformers".
The trailer looks like only one minute.
This trailer focuses on characters.
First, Gao Xun suddenly woke up from the bed. This was the scene where Bumblebee left his home without anyone else.
Then there is a scene of Wang Lan driving.
Then the cameras of actors such as Xie Qian, Zhao Chen, Song Yun, Liu Bo, and Chen Baoming flashed one by one.
Even if it is mainly based on the character's shots, a sense of blockbuster hits the face.
The last shot is the transformation of Optimus Prime and other Boston Transformers when they first met the male and female protagonists.
This is just a trailer for the preview, and it is just a domestic version.
Therefore, the focus of cutting is different.
All-star lineup.
However, these people are not well-known abroad.
So, the trailer for the international premiere is different from it.
It's just not released yet.
Relatively speaking, foreign propaganda is obviously slower than domestic ones.
After all, there is still a long time before it is released.
Premature publicity is just to reveal the popularity of the film.
Although not much content was revealed, this trailer still caused a lot of sensation.
Perhaps it was because many things flashed by, but it made the movie fans feel itchy.
Zhang Yu's Weibo post has also been forwarded by many people.
Yuan Xiang, Wang Shiyu and other celebrities who are good friends with Zhang Yu.
The main creators of the films such as Xie Qian, Zhao Chen and others.
There are also some celebrities who have no intersection but are interested in pleasing Zhang Yu and have also forwarded them.
Of course, Yang Ruoxue naturally forwarded it as soon as possible.
However, the popularity of this trailer was quickly suppressed by Zhang Hang and his group who had returned to China.
Zhang Hang is now full of energy and energetic.
He doesn't look like an old man in his sixties.
"Director Zhang is so radiant!" Zhang Yu said with a smile.
When Zhang Hang returned to China, he came to see him the next day, which was beyond Zhang Yu's expectations.
"You are so excited when you have happy events!" Zhang Hang said with a smile, "The harvest of this trip to Cannes is somewhat unexpected."
Zhang Hang obviously didn't expect to win the Cannes Palme d'Or.
Perhaps the expectations are overwhelming, making it difficult for other competitors to compare with them!
"Before I went, I was satisfied with winning a jury award." Zhang Hang said, "or maybe winning a best director, best script or something. I didn't expect that the Palme d'Or is going to be again, haha."
Perhaps the surprise had not yet dissipated, and when he said this, Zhang Hang couldn't help laughing.
Surprise is indeed a pleasant mood.
"Director Zhang, why do I feel like you are running away from me to show off?" Zhang Yu smiled and joked.
