Chapter 913 Glory moment
Paramount is one of the oldest production companies in Hollywood and has had a very brilliant and brilliant history.
However, after entering the 21st century, this company has not been able to bring about enough vitality!
The Transformers series, which originally relied on for survival, has been ruined, and both reputation and box office sales have failed.
The other movies are not supported by the mud, and the movies that are highly anticipated are always unsatisfactory at the box office.
Paramount has been at the bottom of the six major Hollywood studios for six consecutive years. Seeing Disney, Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures announce that the annual box office has exceeded the 5 billion or even 6 billion US dollars mark in turn.
Not only is it ranked last among the six majors, but even the Lionsgate Film, which was established later, surpassed it and was about to be removed from the so-called six majors in Hollywood.
Paramount's global box office accumulation last year was US$1.6 billion, which is not as good as the data of a single Disney movie!
No film has reached the top ten in the world for many years. Such poor performance is also due to Paramount's pig teammate attributes.
This year, a spy film finally achieved a box office of US$200 million in North America, which was undoubtedly the highest-grossing film in North America this year.
However, when this film continued to rush up in the film market, it was really cheated by the pig teammates!
There were originally thousands of theaters showing, but Paramount went to cut the hall by himself, resulting in the subsequent box office unsatisfactory, rather than not being broadcast by the theater.
He can do all the stupid things he cheated on himself, and Zhang Chu really dared not hand over "The Lord of the Rings" to this company.
No matter how sincere the other party is, he does not believe in the company's strength. He has gradually fallen from the leading industry leader to the end. There are obviously many reasons.
Zhang Chu had no intention of understanding the reason, just wanted to avoid teammates of pigs!
He particularly attaches great importance to the film and television adaptation rights of the "Lord of the Rings" series. It is now 2020. If you can't shoot a work that is more shocking than the original time and space, then don't just shoot it to embarrass you.
"Just tell Blair to help me with it first, saying that there is no plan for film and television adaptation yet, and that I don't trust Hollywood adaptation and plan to wait until the original work is released before seeing the situation. Anyway, be more tactful, so he can save the time from stuttering his stumbling on our project."
Zhang Chu knew very well the price of rejection, and the only one who could deal with one giant was another.
Just when we see who is more sincere in the other major companies, we have to see if there is another pure book fan like Peter Jackson!
Zhou Kang knew the situation too. He said to Zhang Chu through the door of the locker room: "You have to speed up a little, they are almost ready."
Zhang Chu, who had changed into a suit, quickly walked out, but he had to put on some makeup to avoid being photographed.
Fortunately, the man's makeup is relatively simple, otherwise it would not work in ten minutes. The makeup artist brightened his skin a little and deepened his facial features. So when the film festival staff appeared, he stood calmly next to Xu Ji.
"I heard that many people came to your new book signing ceremony in the morning. I didn't expect you to have so many readers in Cannes." Xu Ji praised: "Let's take a look after I return to China. The English versions are sold here."
Zhang Chu pointed to his room and said, "I have a copy there. I'll find time for you after the movie is over."
"Now during the film festival, even if I give me a book, I don't have time to read. You should keep it!" Xu Ji looked at countless media and audiences outside, shook his watch and said to Gong Li, who was ready to go, "I'll let you show this group of foreigners what oriental beauty is."
Gong Li wore an improved cheongsam, and her body curves and temperament were well integrated with her clothes. This was pure Su embroidery, which was not bad compared to the high-end handmade customization of big-name clothing.
She didn't look nervous, and this kind of occasion was common for her: "Then I'll wait for you in the movie palace!"
"It's not certain who is waiting for whom. Although we walked the red carpet behind us, we will definitely walk faster than you and will not stop."
It was three o'clock in the afternoon local time, and the entire red carpet was cleaned up by the staff. There was no one on it, and even the judges did not walk up.
This is a glorious moment for "Farewell My Concubine". Not only Cannes, the whole world is waiting for their crew to step on the red carpet!
Zhang Chu walked through the red carpet in the past, but he did not go to the rest of the world like this, and there were not so many people watching.
"Relax and relax, we are just a foil for celebrities, and Chinese stars are basically a foil for Hollywood stars. Not many people will notice us. Just like walking normally, you must not be with each other!" Xu Ji instructed, treating Zhang Chu as an inexperienced child.
Gong Li has already pose in front of the camera of Chinese and foreign journalists. The official broadcast camera gave her three minutes, and the treatment is very good.
The sound of clicking and scratching from the camera shot came over. Zhang Chu, who had just stepped on the red carpet, found that many reporters were aiming at his and Xu Ji, a partner of the old and young!
Many Chinese-speaking stars are ignored after they go abroad. When they are walking on the red carpet, no reporters take pictures of them except for the people they have arranged in advance.
So in some forums, some people have specially organized these photos to see if there are any foreign journalists taking photos. This is the point of popularity and the amazing red carpet outfit.
Even if they are not famous, if they are beautiful and dressed properly, the reporters will not be stingy with the camera's storage space.
Now more than half of the people are actually photographing themselves!
Zhang Chu was a little confused, but the expression on his face was still a faint smile, and the smile was almost froze.
"Zhang! Look here."
"Zhang, look at my camera!"
"Zhang Chu's side!"
Foreign journalists can only make the sound of zhang at most. At this moment, they shouted his name one after another, wanting to turn around and pat the front face.
And outside the railing behind the reporter was densely packed with spectators, and some of them were calling Zhang Chu’s name!
The official broadcast footage of the Cannes Film Festival opening ceremony also placed the scene on Zhang Chu. The young man only finished promoting his new book in Cannes in the morning and stepped on the red carpet of the movie adapted from his old work in the afternoon.
The careful director was afraid that the audience in front of the computer would not recognize Zhang Chu, so he specially marked Zhang Chu's name and identity on the broadcast screen so that netizens in Youtube and other places would not be confused!
"This reputation value has increased a little quickly!"
