Director Chen is really angry. When has his dignified director Palme d'Or was so belittled!
Especially, what does it have to do with Wang Shu’s new film?
At this moment, Director Chen felt like he was sitting at home and had nothing to do with him and was ridiculed.
It's very unhappy. "Isn't it just a science fiction film? Who can't do it?" Director Chen looked at it disdainfully.
Shanghai Film Academy learned through some channels that Huayi was preparing for a science fiction blockbuster, which made Ren Zhonglun very moved. He then asked Director Chen to chat, and he also had the idea of making a science fiction blockbuster.
Director Chen hesitated about this.
He had never made a science fiction film and was not sure about this type of film. He neither agreed nor refused Ren Zhonglun's proposal.
Now, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Science fiction films are not the only ones who can shoot!
Director Chen thinks he is not bad!
Then he took out his cell phone and called Ren Zhonglun. "Hey, Director Chen." Ren Zhonglun's voice sounded. "Mr. Ren, I thought about the science fiction project you proposed before and thought it was feasible." Director Chen said in a deep voice.
As a profitable company, Shanghai Film Group also spent all kinds of money and paid 20 million yuan to sign an intention contract with Director Chen.
For 20 million, Director Chen needs to make five movies for Shanghai Film Festival, and the director’s salary is calculated separately.
So, now is the honeymoon period between Shanghai Film and Director Chen.
However, Director Chen was either floppy or on the road to floppy films. When Shangying felt that Director Chen was not good, the honeymoon period was interrupted.
Ren Zhonglun was immediately overjoyed when he heard this.
Now the domestic science fiction films are in full swing, and Wang Shu's several science fiction films have achieved super high box office, which makes many people jealous of them.
The shadows above are also listed here. "Okay, I'll find someone to get the script now." Ren Zhonglunxin had a guess and didn't ask why Director Chen suddenly agreed to this matter so as not to poke the pain.
Anyway, as long as Director Chen agrees to shoot, nothing else matters.
For science fiction films, Ren Zhonglun's first choice partner must be Wang Shu, but Wang Shu is now in Hollywood and doesn't know that he will return to China to make movies only in the Year of the Monkey and Horse.
A large enterprise like Shangying can naturally not hang itself on a tree.
If you cannot cooperate with Wang Shu, please contact other directors to cooperate.
Among other directors who can cooperate, Director Chen is relatively more aware of the Palme d'Or. "Yeah." Director Chen responded, full of style.
Ren Zhonglun didn't care about this and said, "I see that many people are saying that Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem" is very good. Should I use this science fiction novel to adapt it into a movie script?"
""The Three-Body Problem"?" Director Chen was stunned when he heard this, and was quite reluctant.
He knew this novel. Many people recommended it to Wang Shu on the Internet, hoping that Wang Shu would adapt it into a script and make it into a film and television.
Now they have a thrust into each other, and if they are photographed, they will naturally be fine.
But if you don't take a good photo, you will inevitably be spitted by spitting.
"Yes, it's "Three-Body Problem"." Ren Zhonglun continued with a smile, "I see that many people are recommending this science fiction novel, which shows that many people are looking forward to making it film and television."
"If we make it into a movie, some people will naturally buy tickets and go to the cinema."
"Relatively speaking, success is higher." Director Chen knew that this was indeed the case, but he was worried that the response to the filming was not good and would be backfired. He immediately said, "Since many people recommend this novel, there will definitely be other people who think like us." "So... let's see if the film and television adaptation rights are there first." "If it is not there, even if we have ideas, we can't do it." "Yes." Ren Zhonglun responded, "Then I won't tell you much. I'll go and see if the film and television adaptation rights are there, and I'll call you if there is news."
"Okay." Director Chen.
Hang off Director Chen's phone call, Ren Zhonglun thought of Wang Shu and couldn't help but sigh: "It's only $200 million in three days..."
Film science fiction films, compared to looking for Director Chen, he wanted to cooperate with Wang Shu from the bottom of his heart.
How come, Wang Shu is mixing in Hollywood.
……………
"Two million US dollars in three days, Wang Shu has a good box office reputation this time." Han Sanping was also sighing.
He has always wanted to make blockbusters, and China Film has always been investing in blockbusters.
However, without comparison, there is no harm.
After working with so many directors, Wang Shu is the most satisfied with him and the most beautiful thing to make his performance look good.
He really wanted to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Wang Shu, but Wang Shu wanted to go to Hollywood.
And this is indeed the right way to do it.
Hollywood is the center of world movies after all. As a director, Wang Shu will definitely go to Hollywood to develop if he pursues it.
"Oh!" Han Sanping sighed softly.
The truth is this, but when Wang Shu was away, I miss him!
……………
On November 1, Interstellar's global box office was 4,300W.
On November 2, the world's $4,500.
November 3, $4,600.
November 4, $4400W.
November 5, $4,800.
November 6 (Saturday), $5,100.
November 7 (Sunday), $5,000.
These days, Wang Shu has been a busy person.
As the box office of "Interstellar" has been good, he has also become a popular figure, and many magazine media have invited him to interview.
Wang Shu is either accepting interviews or on the way to accept interviews every day.
On November 11, 2010, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" was launched in British theaters.
On November 13, log in to the Australian Cinema.
On November 15, logged in to Japanese cinemas.
On November 17, landed in German cinemas.
On November 19, it landed in theaters in the United States, China, Italy, Brazil and other countries.
The box office of "Interstellar" has been influenced by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" since November 11.
As a blockbuster series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" is completely incomparable to other movies.
"Interstellar" has only 1,000 screens in North America on its first day of release, thanks to the title of the Oscar Director of Wang Shulianzhuang and the release of Paramount.
However, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" was released in 4,125 theaters in the United States on its first day.
The first day of the game has been released in so many theaters, mainly due to the previous results of the "Harry Potter" series.
The theater knew that this movie could be sold for money, so it was willing to schedule a film.
On November 29, "Interstellar" was released, with a global box office of US$850 million.
Although it did not exceed $1 billion, it has already ranked among the top 20 movie box office rankings in the world.
And, these top 20 are very valuable.
Because in the first 20, the Harry Potter series and the Batman series, as well as the Star Wars series and the Pirates of the Caribbean series account for a lot.
"Interstellar" is one of the few original scripts, not the films in which the series of movies have entered the top 20 global box office lists. Although in the future, movies with a box office of $1 billion worldwide can only be ranked in the top 50 on the global list.
But now it is 2010. Even though Interstellar is only US$850 million, it ranks in the top 20 in the world.
In the original timeline, Nolan's version of "Interstellar" had a global box office of only $681 million.
Now directed by Wang Shu and as the director of Oscar Lianzhuang, the distribution is relatively more powerful, achieving a global record of US$850 million.
Although it did not exceed 1 billion US dollars, Wang Shu was still quite satisfied with this box office result.
After all, "Interstellar" is not a popcorn blockbuster, and it is already very good to achieve this at the end of 2010.
…
Domestic, there is a lot of reports on the global box office of Interstellar that "Interstellar" was $850 million.
Because this is the first time, the box office of a movie directed by the Chinese has reached the top 20 days of the global rankings!
It's something that can be bragged about.
This matter is hotly discussed on the Internet, both inside and outside the circle.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
In 2010, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB was 1:6.8275.
850 million US dollars, which is approximately equal to RMB 5.803 billion.
When this number is converted into people, many people are stunned.
5.8 billion!
Many domestic directors are unable to make movies with box office sales of over 100 million.
Wang Shu has a movie of 5.8 billion!
This gap...
Although many people were shocked by the news, some people also believed that this could not be converted.
Because in the United States, and it is a global market, the conversion is definitely not like this.
However, it is an indisputable fact that US$850 million is approximately equal to RMB 5.8 billion.
As a result, many voices praising Wang Shu have appeared on the domestic Internet for a time.
By the way, Director Chen was ridiculed again.
Director Chen also saw the news that "Interstellar" has $850 million worldwide, and he was both envious and uncomfortable.
Director Chen's attitude towards Wang Shu has never changed, and he even feels even more unhappy about Wang Shu because he is ridiculed.
So, Director Chen was extremely unhappy when he saw Wang Shu filming a movie with a box office of 850 million US dollars worldwide.
I feel unhappy and have no choice but to feel uncomfortable.
"I just said that the box office of "Interstellar" will not be low, right? You don't believe it." Chen Hong took a cup of tea and handed it to Director Chen, saying something related to "Interstellar" in her mouth, "The global box office is 850 million US dollars, and I heard that it has ranked among the top 20 global movie box office rankings."
Director Chen went to the cinema with Chen Hong to watch "Interstellar" at that time. Of course, he knew that the box office of "Interstellar" would not be low.
He didn't believe it, but he didn't want to believe it.
"Can USD 850 million rank among the top 20 in the global rankings?" When Director Chen heard this, his focus was on the ranking of "Interstellar".
The box office of the movies he made was far from the top 100 in the global movie box office list, but Wang Shu's movies were already among the top 20 in the global box office list.
Director Chen felt even more and more uncomfortable!
"Yes, the top 20." Chen Hong continued with a smile.
Director Chen was silent after hearing the words.
After a while, he said, "I'm going to make a science fiction film too."
"???" Chen Hong said with a question mark on his face when he heard this, "Science fiction film, can you do it?"
"Why can't it work?" He was unhappy at first, but now he was questioned by Chen Hong again, and he was immediately angry.
Seeing this, Chen Hong looked helpless and explained in a soft voice: "I mean you have never made a science fiction film. Will it be unpleasant to shoot a movie of this type suddenly?" Director Chen snorted coldly: "What's wrong with it?"
Then he said, "I've talked with Ren Zhonglun before. When he gets the right script, he will prepare for filming."
After saying that, he added, "And it's not the only one who is preparing to shoot."
"Huayi is also preparing to shoot science fiction films, and it will also be a science fiction blockbuster."
Chen Hong was stunned when she heard the words and said, "Director Feng Xiaogang?"
"What if?" Director Chen asked coldly.
This sentence made Chen Hong stunned for a moment.
Soon, she reacted again.
Wang Shu has made a lot of money in filming science fiction films over the years, and the people in the circle finally can't sit still.
She looked at Director Chen and asked, "Are you really sure to shoot this type of movie?"
"What type of movies are not all the same? What's the difficulty?" Director Chen felt questioned again and answered coldly.
When Chen Hong saw this, she didn't want to say much, and then said, "Just know what kind of science fiction are you going to make?"
Director Chen did not hide it, and said, "Ren Zhonglun wants to get the right to adapt the film and television of "Three-Body Problem"."
"The Three-Body Problem?" Chen Hong was stunned when he heard this. Didn't many people recommend this novel to Wang Shu?
Director Chen saw that Chen Hong's eyes were a little weird, and he blamed Ren Zhonglun and said, "Ren Zhonglun wanted to adapt "The Three-Body Problem", but after contacting him, he found that the film and television adaptation rights of "The Three-Body Problem" had been sold."
"Born by Wang Shu?" Chen Hong asked curiously. "No, it seems that Huayi bought it." Director Chen responded.
"Huayi?" Chen Hong was surprised.
Director Chen nodded: "I just said that it's not just that I'm going to make a science fiction film, Huayi has this plan, and has taken action."
Chen Hong was stunned for a moment and said, "Huayi bought "Three-Body Problem", what are you shooting?"
Director Chen continued: "Ren Zhonglun is still looking for it, and he will film it when he has a suitable script."
Chen Hong nodded and said, "Actually, there's no need to worry. Since Huayi bought "Three-Body Problem", you can wait for them to shoot it to see how the effect will be done before making plans."
"If "Three-Body Problem" produced by Huayi has achieved a good box office, it's not too late for us to shoot science fiction films."
Director Chen felt quite uncomfortable when he heard this.
Chen Hong's words were obviously questioning his ability!
Then he said coldly, "You don't have to worry about this. Whether to shoot or not, you can see the good script that Ren Zhonglun can't do."
When Chen Hong heard this, she knew that Director Chen had decided on her mind, so she pursed her lips and didn't say more.
……………
Los Angeles.
After finishing his work in "Interstellar", Wang Shu is busy with "La La Land".
Paramount also made a lot of money because of the 850 million box office of "Interstellar" and so he was very concerned about dealing with "La La Land".
The movie has also been scheduled to be released in North America on Friday, December 31, 2010.
As an art film, it has not been released simultaneously with Chinese theaters, nor has it been released simultaneously worldwide.
Instead, it will be released in the United States and the United Kingdom first, and then in other countries and regions after the Oscars.
To be precise, it was not scheduled for release in other countries and regions after the Oscars, but the schedule has been coordinated, but the time point is after the Oscars.
Although Wang Shu is a Chinese director and "La La Land" is a film directed by him, this film has entered the domestic market as an imported film.
December 31 is the Chinese New Year period, so it is better not to squeeze in.
I will be scolded when I squeeze in. (This chapter ends)
