my movie years

Chapter 202 The Announcement Begins

Years later, Zhang Hao completed the post-production of "Gravity", entered the polishing stage, and edited the first version of the trailer.

The time has entered March, when Da Mi Mi's new drama "Gu Jian Qi Tan" was broadcast on Mango Channel, the trailer of "Gravity" was launched online simultaneously.

As a partner in investing in the film, Penguin has given a lot of publicity resources. On Penguin Video, the trailer of "Gravity" is specially placed on the homepage, and the audience can see it as soon as they come in.

In addition, the film was vigorously promoted through WeChat, QQ, and portal websites.

At the same time, through joint game activities, movie tickets and other tasks through activities, to expand publicity in the game circle.

This is the advantage of Penguin. With the vast channel resources of the whole network, Penguin has unique conditions in an era when online publicity is becoming more and more important.

Of course, Penguin didn't work for "Gravity" in vain. It invested 1.5 million in this film.

For other films, 1.5 million yuan might be able to make two or three movies, but for "Gravity", 1.5 million yuan is only a small part of the production cost.

Zhang Hao didn't spend too much investment in the production of "Gravity". If the cost of publicity and distribution is included, the overall cost of the film has risen to 6 million.

In other words, if "Gravity" wants to return its capital, it must get a box office of more than 18 billion in the mainland market to be safe.

This return to the main line is a bit exaggerated, it seems like an impossible task.

But before last year, people didn't think that the box office of domestic films could exceed [-] billion, but last year, three domestic films broke [-] million at the box office.

Zhou Yang recently became a film and television UP host, explaining some classic films, including several works by Zhang Hao.

"Manslaughter", "Genius Gunner", "Fatal Magic", "Batman: Beginning of War" and so on have all gained a lot of hits, which also brought rich returns to Zhou Yang.

This can be regarded as creating a new way for Zhou Yang, and he can watch his favorite movies and earn income, so he insisted on doing it.

At present, his account 'A Dou is back' in the whole network has accumulated millions of fans, and he is already a super big V in the film and television area.

At this point, it is inevitable that some business will be accepted, such as blowing water on some films with poor quality, and then getting rich red envelopes from the producers.

Life, earn money, not shabby.

It is also because of this that he has received a lot of criticism. Many fans who follow him think that Ah Dou has lost his original intention of explaining the movie.

Zhou Yang also intends to change and regain his original intention.

At this moment, "Gravity" sent up an internal preview ticket.

The new work of the director who made him the film and television UP master, the first domestic sci-fi film has completed the post-production and is quietly waiting for the release.

"Honey, I received an invitation from "Gravity" to go to the trial screening." Zhou Yang said.

With a big belly, Zhou Yang's wife, who was obviously pregnant, looked surprised: "There is a card, when is it?"

"Just next week, I think not only me, but many media big Vs will receive invitations." Zhou Yang said.

"Okay, then you go and take a good look. Didn't you say you want to get back to your original intention? Zhang Hao's movie is your original intention." The wife's encouragement was the same as always.

"Hmm..." Zhou Yang nodded emphatically. He wanted to regain his love for movies and give up business.

In other words, if this movie sucks, would Zhou Yang open an issue to criticize this movie?Although subconsciously, Zhou Yang has already formed a concept that Zhang Hao's product must be a boutique.

In order to study the film, Zhou Yang dug out the trailer that he had read a few days ago to take a look again.

In the vast and boundless space, the heroine played by Da Mi Mi struggles to survive, and every frame of the picture is extremely beautiful.The trailer is beyond the expectations of the outside world. There is no plot on the ground at all, only the space part.

After watching the trailer, Zhou Yang had a feeling in his heart that he might be witnessing a new history of Chinese-language films.

Before leaving, Zhou Yang recorded a preview video to analyze the trailer.

"Hi, hello, I'm A Dou, this time I was invited by "Gravity", and I got a ticket for the internal screening.

Before going to see it, I made a preview video to analyze the trailer..."

After analyzing the various details of the trailer, Zhou Yang made a prediction: "I have always been a loyal fan of director Zhang Hao, and audience friends who are familiar with me also know my love for several of Zhang Hao's works.

This time I have a hunch that I will witness a domestic sci-fi film that has left a name in the history of Chinese films. "

Zhou Yang's fan comments below are very lively, because it is Zhang Hao's movie, or a domestic sci-fi movie, everyone is very concerned about it.

"Damn it, Ah Dou has been updated."

"A Dou is ready to eat again, but this time it is "Gravity", Zhang Hao's work, I choose to believe."

"This is a sci-fi movie, and I'm still skeptical."

"If Zhang Hao can't make a good sci-fi movie, it means that the local country is really not suitable for the production of sci-fi movies."

"When I saw a domestic sci-fi movie, I chose to doubt it. When I saw the director Zhang Hao again, I chose to believe it. Then, when I saw Da Mi Mi, I began to doubt it again."

"Don't be fooled, Da Mi Mi is the best acting in Eight Five Flowers, you have to admit this, and she is really good in the recently aired "Gu Jian Qi Tan"."

"Don't be too bad, she's been playing costume idol dramas for so many years, if it wasn't for Zhang Hao, would she be where she is today?"

"That's right, it's better to give our Fairy Sister more opportunities. The relationship between Fairy Sister and Director Zhang Hao is also fine."

"Pull it down, a foreigner, acting like a wooden man, what a fart."

"Don't be embarrassed, Da Mimi needs to be able to do it himself, and Zhang Hao can help him. The performance in "Butterfly Effect" made me change my opinion of Da Mimi."

"Da Mi Mi is not only a star, but also an actor, just lacking a weighty performance award."

"This time is very promising. I heard that "Gravity" is almost a one-man show of great power."

All in all, the comment section is about watching, trusting and questioning each quarter, and the remaining quarter does not pay attention to "Gravity" itself, but pays attention to various gossip.

The most outrageous thing is that some people on the Internet reported a love triangle between the fairy sister and Zhang Hao and Da Mi Mi, and there are people with noses and eyes.

Of course, fans of fairy sisters are quite dissatisfied. Their fairies are not human, and they will never fall in love with ordinary people.

I don't know where these fans went when Sister Shenxian's new movie was released.

With the announcement of more details of "Gravity", everyone knows the basic situation of the film.

The cameo appearances of Andy Lau and Wu Jing are kept in a state of high secrecy. What everyone knows is that the films are all powerful one-man shows.

In this way, the film's requirements for great power will definitely increase.

Why Da Mi Mi can have the current status, because since she starred in the movie, she has almost always played the leading role alone, and she has never collapsed.

"Genius Gunner" is the first time that Mimi has cast a leading role in a movie. At that time, Li Xian, Bai Yu, and Tan Songyun were all newcomers, and they couldn't be newer.

As a result, the good box office results created by the film proved that Da Mi Mi is a lucky star at the box office.

The second time was also a one-man show. The long legs of "Shark Beach" made people dizzy.Da Mimi's good acting skills have been highly praised, which also made Da Mimi nominated for a best actress, but unfortunately he did not win the award.

After that, he successively starred in "Painted Skin 2", "Zodiac", "Butterfly Effect" and other films, all of which created good box office results.

The name of Da Mimi's box office lucky star has spread all over the Internet. Now Da Mimi has received more than 50 scripts, and there is no role lower than Erfan.

My good friend Liu Shishi was quite envious, and once said to Da Mimi jealously: "You are so lucky to have found a good boyfriend."

Da Mi Mi replied proudly: "After a while, he should become a good husband."

If "Gravity" is successful again, Da Mimi's social status can rise to a higher level, and then Da Mimi will be able to make Fan Bin ice clawed and reach the top of the Forbes Celebrity List.

I believe that many people would not object to calling Da Mi Mi the number one actress in Chinese-language movies at that time.

Because she starred in a domestic sci-fi film that everyone didn't like very much, don't care if it depends on Zhang Hao, just ask you if she starred in it and it's over.

Thinking of the hot scenes afterwards, Da Mimi instantly felt that all the hardships he suffered in "Gravity" were worth it.

"Gravity" not only invited the media from the media, film and television UP owners to watch the movie in advance, but also invited the film's overseas distributor Warner Pictures to watch the movie.

In order to persuade Zhang Hao to launch the second Batman movie this year, Jeff Robinoff, who has officially become the president of Warner Pictures, went to China in person to enjoy the completed production of "Gravity" in the latest CINITY cinema .

It is worth mentioning that Sanye officially retired in March this year, and General Manager Mao Yu officially took over as the chairman of China Film Group.

Fu Ruoqing, who has always maintained a good relationship with Zhang Hao, took over as the general manager. The CINITY system is a projection technology developed by him.

After watching the film, Jeff Robinoff sighed: "God, Zhang, this is really unbelievable, every frame is extremely beautiful."

"Do you think this film will have a market overseas?" Zhang Hao is concerned about this issue.

Jeff Robinoff said frankly: "You and I have a good cooperation, so I won't talk about scenes.

To be honest, if this is a Hollywood film, I'm sure it will be a hit in the global market, but for a Chinese film, the prospect is not so clear. "

"It doesn't matter, audiences all over the world will accept it sooner or later. I will prove that Chinese-language movies can be popular all over the world." Zhang Hao said confidently.

Although he didn't understand where Zhang Hao's self-confidence came from, Jeff Robinov thought about it and said: "In this way, there are two options, one is a buyout, and Warner Pictures will pay 2000 million US dollars to buy it out." Distribution rights for fragmented films outside of Asia.

The second option is to sign a sharing contract, but the film market is changing and it is still an unpopular Chinese film. I suggest you choose the second option. "

"Don't think about Jeff," said Zhang Hao, who had already discussed with various investors and persuaded them to adopt a sharing plan.

"We can sign a step-by-step sharing contract, and we will discuss the details later. I choose to share."

Jeff Robinov shook his head and said: "This is not a wise decision. Since you said so, I will convince the board of directors to support your plan."

Before leaving, Jeff Robinoff asked again: "By the way, what is the name of the second Batman movie?"

Zhang Hao replied: ""The Dark Knight", after finishing "Gravity", I will go to the United States to start preparing for this film."

Hearing the answer he most wanted to hear, Jeff Robinov was satisfied.

Jeff Robinoff doesn't care about "Gravity" or anything, he cares about Warner Pictures' own film project itself.

The distribution of "Gravity" as an agent will require Warner Pictures to pay a certain amount of resources, but these resources are not free, and will eventually be found by Zhang Hao.

Jeff Robinov has another idea deep in his heart; if the film hits the market, Zhang Hao can honestly work for Warner Pictures.
