Chapter 654 4012W
Everyone present not only did not question Chen Kun's words, but also deeply agreed with them.
For other types of films, few people dare to say that Wang Shu can shoot them very well.
It is a science fiction film, but one can believe and recognize it without any brain.
Because Wang Shu has proven himself time and time again with science fiction films.
"Kun is right. When Director Wang makes science fiction films, I dare not say that he is one of the best on the international stage, but he is the best in the country." Zhou Xun answered.
She has Wang Shu in her heart, so whenever someone praises Wang Shu, she will praise him a few times.
When someone said something good about Wang Shu, she was happy and followed suit.
When someone said weird things about Wang Shu, she felt unhappy and would refute based on the situation.
"I think so too. Looking at the country, no one can compete with Director Wang in the field of science fiction films." Yao Chen responded, "Didn't a Hong Kong director film a "Roboman" before? To be honest, after watching it, I felt like I’m confused and want to make a comment. Is this considered a science fiction movie? ”
If any passerby heard Yao Chen's words here, they would definitely think that her words were too much.
No matter how much you say "Roboman", it is a science fiction film. No matter how many science fiction elements there are, it is a science fiction film.
However, several people present here were very excited at this moment, and they all agreed with this statement.
Chen Kun even echoed: "Yao Chen is right, "Roboman" is indeed not good."
"This is not nonsense, but the box office proves it."
"To be honest, I think these directors came to make science fiction films one by one. Nine times out of ten, they saw Director Wang making money making science fiction films, and they became jealous, and then they all wanted to get a piece of the pie."
"It's just that sci-fi movies are not just for everyone. Without Director Wang's diamond, you can't get the porcelain job."
"Kun is right, sci-fi movies are not something you can just eat if you want." Zhou Xun responded, "If it were that easy to eat, there would be no domestic sci-fi movies released before Wang Huan debuted."
“It’s precisely because I’m not good at it, or I don’t have the ability, that’s why no one has photographed me.”
As soon as these words came out, Shu Qi, Zhao Yanzi and others nodded in agreement.
Zhao Yanzi said at this time: "But having said that, it's a pity for Xun'er."
Seeing everyone's confusion, Zhao Yanzi immediately said: "After watching "The Night the Comet Came", the role of the heroine starring Sun Li is actually quite suitable for Xun'er to play."
In fact, there was one thing she didn't say in her heart, that is, Sun Li's heroine role was also suitable for her.
And her status is higher than that of Sun Li. She was originally more suitable than Sun Li, but she didn't have much contact with Wang Shu and had no chance.
These words also made Shu Qi, Yao Chen and others nod in agreement.
Shu Qi responded promptly: "I also think it's quite suitable for Xun'er."
Chen Kun didn't say anything. As the leading actor, it was a bit bad for him to say these things behind his back just after finishing his cooperation with Sun Li.
Zhou Xun responded with a smile: "Director Wang contacted me at that time, but I missed it because I was not scheduled."
"I know you want to say you can have fun."
"But what I want to say is that Director Wang actually hates actors doing things."
"Especially the starring actor, if he finds out that someone is cheating on the scene, he will no longer work with him."
In fact, Wang Shu never took the initiative to contact her from beginning to end, but she took the initiative to contact Wang Shu to inquire.
It’s just that you definitely can’t say that in front of your best friend, but you have to show that Wang Shu contacted her, but had to miss it due to schedule conflicts.
Although it is true that I missed the weekly news due to schedule conflicts, I still have to choose a way to talk face-savingly in front of my best friends.
"What a pity." Zhao Yanzi sighed after hearing this, "Although Director Wang only shot "The Night the Comet Came" for three days, the film is very interesting and will most likely become a classic."
"Plus it only took three days to shoot, so this stunt will definitely become a talking point."
"And this shows that "The Night the Comet Came" will leave a deep impression on many people."
"As an actor, you will definitely gain a lot of benefits from this."
"Just like Zhou Xingxing's "Westward Journey", it left a deep impression on many people."
"When talking about "Westward Journey", in addition to Zhou Xingxing, Zhu Ying also comes to mind."
""The Night the Comet Came" has the gimmick of being shot in three days, and the film is very interesting, so maybe it will have a similar effect."
Shu Qi thought for a while and responded: "Not to mention, what Yanzi said makes sense. "The Night When the Comet Comes" might actually have a similar effect."
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Xun and said: "Xun'er, you have missed a classic!"
Zhou Xun was already feeling a little uncomfortable because he missed the movie, but now that he heard Zhao Yanzi's analysis, he felt even more uncomfortable.
When she thought about it, she originally had the opportunity to participate in "The Night the Comet Came", but because Han Sanping wanted to make a blockbuster with Wang Shu, Wang Shu declined and could only make a small-budget film with a small cast. Suddenly, she became She lost her chance to star.
To put it bluntly, it's all Han Sanping's fault!
It deserves to be called a mountain eagle!
Zhou Xun sighed: "There was a schedule conflict at the time, so I had to miss it. It's useless no matter how much I say now."
Yao Chen nodded in agreement. Although it was a pity, as Zhou Xun said, the schedule conflict could only be missed.
To blame, I can only blame my lack of luck!
"Alas~ What a pity!" Shu Qi sighed.
At this time, Chen Kun was able to express his opinion, and he also said it was a pity.
Zhao Yanzi then said: "Director Wang's film with Paramount is currently being filmed. This time he returns to China to prepare for the release of "The Night the Comet Came". I will return to Hollywood next, right?"
week Gotta get back to Hollywood”
Shu Qi answered the question at the right time: "This film, directed by Wang and Paramount, stars Anne Hathaway, Matthew McConaughey and others, all of whom are well-known Hollywood movie stars."< br>
"Looking at the lineup, this show should be quite big."
Zhou Xun said with a smile: "It's not small. Director Wang said it seemed like the investment was US$150 million."
"Ah?" Yao Chen was surprised, "150 million U.S. dollars, converted into RMB, is 1.2 or 1.3 billion! Is the investment such a big one?"
Zhou Xun nodded and explained: "That's why Paramount doesn't want to use Asian actors in order to protect the European and American markets."
Shu Qi nodded: "If the investment is so large, it is indeed necessary to do this."
"Invest 150 million, at least 400 million to recover the cost, and then start making money."
"Of course, if it is counted as DVD and other copyright income, perhaps the global box office of 300 million can recover the cost."
"According to Director Wang's past performance, as long as this movie doesn't fail, and it stars Matthew McConaughey and others, the global box office will be at least 500 million US dollars."
Zhao Yanzi echoed: "With an investment of US$150 million and a global box office of US$500 million, we have already made a huge profit."
After finishing speaking, he sighed again, "Hollywood is still very powerful. The global box office is always worth hundreds of millions of dollars. When converted into RMB, it's billions."
"In contrast, in our country, if a movie can exceed the box office of 200 million yuan, there is already a lot of joy."
Shu Qi answered: "Otherwise? This is why everyone wants to go to Hollywood, and why their net worth has skyrocketed after going to Hollywood." "The market is different, and actors' salaries are also different."
Zhao Yanzi glanced at Zhou Xun and pretended to sigh: "I don't know when we will have the opportunity to go to Hollywood."
"I don't want to get a sky-high salary, but I just want a salary that is not inferior to Zhang Ziyi's."
She did not compete with Gong Li, because Gong Li won the Best Actress Award from one of the three major European universities.
But Zhang Ziyi is different. She does not have the three major European Best Actress Awards nearby, and it is easier for them to copy each other's path to the international stage.
Nowadays, there are only two directors in China who can help people enter Hollywood.
The first is Li Yu, who is not a quick shooter, and he is also the director of Baodao, so he can be ignored.
The remaining one is Wang Shu, who won the Oscar for Best Director.
If you can be favored by Wang Shu, you will have the opportunity to participate in a Hollywood movie directed by Wang Shu in the future.
Even if it's just a supporting role, he can still stand out and slowly gain a foothold in Hollywood.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
Even if you don't have a firm foothold in Hollywood and have a gilded status and resume in Hollywood, your net worth and salary will double and skyrocket after returning to China.
Take Zhang Ziyi, who hasn't acted in many movies in Hollywood, but now she earns 1,000,000 yuan in salary in China.
And they are only a few million people.
Shu Qi looked at Zhou Xun and said: "Now in our country, Director Wang is the only one who can help people go to Hollywood. I hope Director Wang can take more care of us domestic actors in the future."
Zhou Xun answered calmly: "Actually, Director Wang has always been taking care of domestic actors."
"Didn't you notice? Director Wang has made so many movies since his debut. In addition to "The Wolf of Wall Street" and the current movie with Paramount, which did not use our domestic actors, other movies have used our domestic actors. Actor."
Zhao Yanzi, Shu Qi, Yao Chen and others were stunned when they heard this, and then thought about it, it seems that this is really what happened.
It's not that Wang Shu doesn't care about domestic actors, he just doesn't care about them.
This...
Zhao Yanzi and Shu Qi looked at each other and said: "Xun'er, so, if you have the opportunity, you can introduce Director Wang to us, so that we can be taken care of."
Zhou Xun pretended to sigh: "It's not that I won't help you, but that Director Wang really doesn't have time."
"He returned to China this time to hold the premiere of "The Night the Comet Came." I talked to him when I went there. He was too busy and couldn't spare the time."
Zhou Xun said this, but in his heart he was unwilling to help Zhao Yanzi, Shu Qi and others.
Because they are both actresses, helping them will undoubtedly increase competition for herself.
Zhao Yanzi, Shu Qi and others sighed after hearing this. They also knew that Wang Shu was very busy at the moment and did not doubt that Zhou Xun did not want to help.
In fact, Zhou Xun was unwilling to give up, but he would still say this to Wang Shu.
After all, Shu Qi and others are also good friends. Now that the other party has spoken, she can't hold back her dignity.
……
May 2, 2010.
The box office results of "The Night the Comet Came" are out.
4012W.
"Ip Man 2", 885W.
In the original timeline, "Ip Man 2" had a box office of more than 10 million on May 1st. Now it is indeed affected by "The Night the Comet Came".
"The Night When the Comet Came" is more realistic. It is just eight actors surrounding a house. The scene is not as big as "Ip Man 2".
However, "The Night the Comet Came" has enough gimmicks.
It is the painstaking work of Wang Shu, the first Asian best director to win consecutive Oscars.
Although it only took three days to shoot, it was still a painstaking work.
In addition, it is a science fiction film that Wang Shu is recognized to be good at, and it was created by the original cast of "Space Traveler".
There are also various announcements made without shame, attracting many viewers into the cinema.
In other words, the reputation Wang Shu has accumulated over the years has finally ushered in the harvest season.
If he had not created a good reputation through various science fiction films before, it would be impossible to achieve such a gratifying single-day box office with his name.
"The Night the Comet Came" does not have big scenes, it is just a low-budget film.
It stands to reason that the single-day box office cannot be so high.
But the reputation Wang Shu has accumulated as a science fiction film director over the years is not false.
With word of mouth and other gimmicks, the impossible becomes possible.
Again, since Wang Shu entered the industry, he has been very clear that when a film enters theaters, publicity and distribution are more important than the quality of the film.
No matter how good a movie is, it will only be ruined if there is insufficient publicity and distribution in an era when piracy is rampant and it can only be released in theaters for a month.
But if the publicity is strong and more viewers are tricked into buying tickets and entering the theater within a limited period of one month, the box office that can be achieved will be considerable.
Today, Wang Shu's reputation is also one of publicity.
The combination of various publicity and distribution, coupled with the fact that "The Night the Comet Came" has a situation where many people can't understand it but don't want to lose face and pretend to understand it, resulting in many people buying tickets and going to the theater.
For a time, people did not understand and did not want to lose face and pretended to understand. There was actually a case of human-to-human transmission.
In this situation of human-to-human transmission, even though "The Night the Comet Came" is not a special effects blockbuster, its box office continues to rise.
……
China Film.
"Director Han, the box office of "The Night the Comet Came" was released the next day, 4012W." The secretary knocked on the door and walked into the office to report to Han Sanping.
"How much did you say?" Han Sanping scratched his ears in surprise when he heard this, somewhat unable to believe this number.
"'The Night the Comet Came', box office on May 1st, 4012W." The secretary said clearly, word for word.
Han Sanping was stunned when he heard the exact number again.
……
Upper shadow.
"Mr. Ren, the box office of "The Night the Comet Came" on May 1 is out, 4012W." The secretary knocked on the door and walked into Ren Zhonglun's office and asked Ren Zhonglun for the exchange rate.
"You mean 4012W?" Ren Zhonglun looked up in shock and asked subconsciously, "Is that right? Are you sure it's 4012W?"
