"The celebration banquet will be two days away. You came to Zhonghai so early for something else, right?" Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"I have recommended several dramas, don't tell me I'm not ready yet?" Xie Qian looked at Zhang Yu and said.

Where Zhang Yu was pretending to be confused, Xie Qian couldn't tell.

"Choose one!"

Zhang Yu smiled, took out two scripts from the drawer and handed them to Xie Qian.

"Only children make choices, I want them all!"

Xie Qian picked up the two scripts and said with a smile before reading them.

select?

Only fools choose, smart people want them all.

This is Chen Shan’s tip for everyone.

That's what he did in the beginning.

Since Zhang Yu gave him these two scripts, they were obviously suitable for him.

"You should first see if you are suitable to come." Zhang Yu shook his head.

Zhang Yu had no reaction to Xie Qianquan's request.

Chen Shan got a bad start.

However, it doesn't matter.

Two movies, one "Operation Mekong" and one "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"!

Needless to say, the former has not changed much.

And what about the latter?

In fact, not much has been changed, except that the male and female protagonists have been changed to Chinese.

The background has not been changed.

After all, he is a killer, so it would obviously be inappropriate to place him in the country.

Zhang Yu originally wanted to change the background to Xiangjiang, but later rejected it.

That is obviously based on market considerations.

The background remains unchanged, which is beneficial to the film's box office in North America.

So why did "Die Hard" change the background?

This has nothing to do with Cheng Jie's box office appeal abroad.

Abroad, Xie Qian's box office appeal is obviously far behind Cheng Jie's.

Cheng Jie doesn't need to consider the background of the story, but Xie Qian obviously doesn't.

What's more, Zhang Yu intends to merge "Die Hard" and "Rush Hour".

The second part of "Die Hard" incorporates the content of "Rush Hour" and places the background abroad.

Xie Qian didn't say anything, but flipped through two scripts.

Of course, he obviously wouldn't look too closely.

This is not the place to study scripts either.

"Is there a choice?"

Zhang Yu did not disturb him, but went about his own business.

I don't know how long it took, but Xie Qian put down the two scripts and obviously made a decision.

What decision?

Zhang Yu can actually guess.

"The road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time." Xie Qian said, "Although there are two scripts, there is actually no choice. One of the scripts is clearly aimed at the international film market and is obviously not suitable as a director's debut.

.”

"You mean to choose "Operation Mekong"?" Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"No!"

Xie Qian denied it outright.

This made Zhang Yu stunned.

Did you guess wrong?

wrong!

This kid won't be able to play so big as soon as he transforms, right?

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was definitely much more expensive to produce.

What's more, Xie Qian may not be able to control this type of film.

"I'm not choosing "Operation Mekong"!" Xie Qian smiled and said, "I'm choosing "Operation Mekong" first!"

When Zhang Yu heard this, he curled his lips.

The meaning of Xie Qian's words is very clear, that is to film "Operation Mekong" first and then "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".

He wants both films.

"Let's finish filming "Operation Mekong" first," Zhang Yu said.

Does Xie Qian want to film both movies?

Zhang Yu has no objection to this, but the premise is that your first film is successful.

If the first film doesn't go well, then you can star in a big-ticket movie like "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," but you will never be allowed to direct it.

After all, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" targets the international film market and is filmed abroad. The investment and production costs are certainly not comparable to those of "Operation Mekong".

"Then you keep it for me." Xie Qian smiled and said.

Xie Qian naturally knows that if "Operation Mekong" fails to be filmed, it will obviously be impossible to continue directing "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".

He has no shame in continuing to direct.

You can't make low-budget films, so why do you still want to make big-budget movies?

Which investor is willing?

"It seems you are confident that you can take the photo well!" Zhang Yu smiled and nodded.

"Just be well prepared," Xie Qian said, "I don't want to be the first director to mess up your script."

If "Operation Mekong" fails to be filmed well, his transformation into a director will be a failure, and it may be difficult to find another opportunity.

"I'll go back and study the script first. If I have any questions, I'll come back to you."

Xie Qian said, picked up the script and left.

I took not one, but two.

Zhang Yu shook his head and said nothing.

The celebration banquet of "Changjin Lake" is still quite popular.

Many media reporters were present.

Gao Xun did not come to attend.

Xu Sen did not let him go.

This period of time is the key to filming his scenes.

If he leaves the group, the loss will be too great.

What's more, the celebration banquet of "Changjin Lake" was the same with or without him.

The momentum was huge and it stimulated the box office.

But it is limited.

The video obviously has no chance of reaching the top spot.

It's hard to say whether it can surpass "Wolf Warrior 2".

The popularity of "Changjin Lake" gradually declined, while the promotion of "Die Hard" gradually increased.

Moreover, it is no longer a secret that the second part of "Changjin Lake" is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival.

Many people can see that "Die Hard" obviously deliberately avoided this film.

Based on Cheng Jie's past habits, he will definitely put it on the Spring Festival schedule.

Regardless of whether it was because he was frightened by the box office of the first part of "Changjin Lake" or because the investors of the two films overlapped a lot, it was impossible to compete.

Anyway, there are rumors on the Internet that the release of "Die Hard" on Christmas and New Year's Day is to make way for the second part of "Changjin Lake".
