my time as a director

Chapter 205

Zhang Weiping, a pivotal figure in the domestic film industry.

Although not as influential in the industry as Huang Zhongjun and Yu Dong, Zhang Yimou alone is enough for him to stand at the top of the industry.

Zhang Weiping was a pharmacist in his early years, and later he was favored by Siemens, so he resolutely resigned from his job and became a manager of a business department of Siemens.

After working for a year, I resigned to work as an airline catering company, and took care of box lunches for the entire Capital Airport and Yangcheng Airport.

I have been engaged in many industries, including real estate. Later, when I was interviewed, I was outspoken to the media, saying that the first step in real estate is to get the land without cash. There is a plan, and the approval process can be completed, and the land can be approved.

After getting the land use certificate, you can hire a designer, and the designer's money will be settled after autumn. Once the drawings are drawn and a model room is built, the building can be sold to collect money.

This process has been continued in the real estate industry. If he is still in this industry, he will probably be a real estate tycoon again.

Radical, extreme, and shrewd, Zhang Weiping is more like a businessman through and through than Donghe Huang Zhongjun.

However, the film industry is a highly professional industry. It is obvious that Zhang Weiping is a layman. Perhaps this is also the reason why New Screen has been guarding Zhang Yimou and has not made it big.

When Jia Zhangke and Zhang Weiping confronted each other in 06, they said he was simply ignorant.

However, Zhang Weiping still has a set of publicity strategies, and it is also the most common publicity method in China.

Before the film was released, some media, peers, and film critics were invited to come over. Basically, this group of people watched it without tears and excitement. After watching it, they were deeply moved and cried for an hour.

When promoting solo riding for thousands of miles, he once said "come to me without crying after watching it".

And when Huang Jinjia swept through the Lunar New Year stalls, he said extremely arrogantly, "What is unstoppable, go to the entrance of the movie theater and have a look!"

Just like, what is an international movie star!

The arrogance comes from the experience of starting a business, the brutal capital growth process, and the one who supports his arrogance is Zhang Yimou, his good brother.

Aren't they good brothers? Zhang Yimou's three children who didn't receive birth certificates were all birth certificates he entrusted to his relationship, and even Zhang Yimou's assistant who had been with Zhang Yimou for more than ten years didn't know about them.

Although the birth certificate is fake.

In the film industry, Zhang Yimou is his biggest reliance.

In previous years, no matter who he faced, he had absolute confidence.

In 06, nearly 800 film copies were obtained directly, and the two superstars Liang Chaowei and Jin Chengwu starred in Shangcheng were squeezed out of the filming, and Yu Dong and Wang Changtian were cursed by names.

But now, times have changed!

Zhang Weiping sighed. In the past three years, the film industry has undergone earth-shaking changes, which caught him off guard.

Without Zhang Yimou, New Screen has not released a film for three years, and Zhang Weiping is a bit out of touch with the film industry.

In previous years, even during the Lunar New Year period, there were at most two blockbuster films in the same period.

But this year, with October Siege, Fengyun, Assassination, and Li Qian's perfect world that suddenly appeared, plus their own three-shot surprise, within 15 days, five blockbuster films were released!

This is also the reason why he said when he was hilarious and angry at Yu Dong before, when the October Siege will be released, and Three Guns will be released on the same day, but he regrets it.

Not afraid of anything, just five blockbusters, the pressure is too great.

This time, he didn't scold the opponent's investors all over the place like last time.

Last time, he scolded Yu Dong and Wang Changtian, who had just entered the film industry.

If you are angry this time, you will have to scold too many people.

Zhang Weiping decided to stay put and keep a low profile.

Moreover, I am not in the mood this time, the pressure is too great, and it will not work to fill the market with a large number of copies.

Sangun is expected to release 650 film copies, and October Siege is on par with him, no more, no less, 650.

There are 500 stabbing mausoleums, and Fengyun is also close to 500.

Perfect World film copies also reached 600.

In fifteen days, a total of 2900 film copies of the five films were released!

There were several other films during those fifteen days, adding up to an estimated 3000 film prints, an unprecedented total.

What kind of concept is this? Golden Armor has dominated the market with 800 copies, and Chibi’s 700 film copies can account for more than 80 films.

Not to mention 3000, 1000 film copies are enough to fill all the film screens.

No way, it depends on who dies first.

How crazy!

This also gave Zhang Weiping a sense of urgency, he didn't bother to piss people off, and focused on shouting for the three guns.

However, if someone finds fault, Zhang Weiping doesn't mind teaching him a lesson.

That Wang Yuelun was from Shonan Taiwan, and Shonan Optoelectronics invested in October Siege, maybe they wanted to mess with themselves, Zhang Weiping secretly became wary.

Zhang Weiping was also very annoyed by a lot of things.

But if you are annoying, you still have to work.

In an exclusive interview with Sanlian Life Weekly, the reporter asked about the goal of the Lunar New Year file, and Zhang Weiping was not humble at all.

"The Lunar New Year box office champion, without a doubt!"

"Does Mr. Zhang have a desired number in mind?"

"[-] million!" Zhang Weiping didn't even think about it, looking mature.

"There must be a reason for me to say this, and I am not the only one who said this. After the rough editing of Three Guns, I asked the bosses of all the theaters to watch the film. After watching the film, none of the bosses thought that Three Guns was a short film. , a vulgar film. Let’s see the results, it will appear soon. I think based on my judgment on the domestic commercial film market over the years, there should be no problem with guaranteeing a minimum of [-] million.”

"Can I ask Mr. Zhang to predict the box office of several movies in December?"

Zhang Weiping opened his mouth without thinking, "I didn't see any bright spots in the trailer of the perfect world. How could the audience be interested in the story of an uncle and a child? Even if Li Qian tricked the audience into the cinema, he would only It can be cheated for a while, but not for long, and the box office will not reach [-] million."

The corner of Xinlang's reporter's mouth twitched. Although he knew that Zhang Weiping would not have anything good to say, he did not expect him to dare to say it.

But if you think about it carefully, Zhang Weiping is not just such a person.

In the past, he had conflicts with Gong Li. When Gong Li played the role of the golden armor in the city, he made it clear to Zhang Yimou that he did not want to see Zhang Weiping on any occasion, and it was written into the contract.

As a result, the premiere did not come. When Zhang Weiping criticized Fa Ge, he also spoke for Fa Ge, which made him very upset.

So later the box office stopped at 2.9 million. Zhang Weiping said that the national box office of Miami Vice starring Gong Li was only over 2000 million. He originally wanted to use Zhang Manyu.
