Chapter 310: Soft rice, that’s discrimination against men

There are not many directors who have never lost money, especially those who work on large-scale productions.

Jiang Bin is definitely one of them.

Therefore, his movies never lack investment.

And the investment is still higher than the previous one.

Jiang Bin's investment in this film is around 400 million, not counting the publicity and distribution costs.

In Hollywood, it may not be considered a big production.

But in the country, it is an absolutely big production.

And it set an investment record.

Changsheng Entertainment's largest investment so far is "Terminator", which is still in preparation, with a budget of only 200 million.

If the shooting goes well, maybe it will be less.

"Wolf Warrior 2" hasn't been prepared yet, and it's estimated to be just over 200 million.

Four hundred million?

This means that if the film does not have 1.45 billion, it will not be able to make back its money.

No matter how big a production it is, it is difficult to break the billion mark, which shows how risky it is.

Of course, Jiang Bin's movie is still favored by the market.

In addition to Jiang Bin's accumulated reputation and his amazing box office appeal.

The joining of Zhang Sheng has undoubtedly increased the popularity of the film.

This is a strong alliance.

There is even a little more guarantee on quality.

The quality of the films Zhang Sheng participates in has always been guaranteed.

He doesn't appear in many movies.

Since I have accepted Jiang Bin's new film, I am naturally optimistic about this movie.

Within one week of its release, "Resident Evil" grossed nearly 800 million in box office and blinded countless people.

However, the release of a new blockbuster still has a big impact on it.

The first impact is naturally on film scheduling.

Secondly, it will naturally divert the box office and kill the potential of "Resident Evil".

The reputation of the newly released movie is still very good.

The first-day box office was not as good as the first-day box office of "Resident Evil", but it was still 150 million.

A good start.

Due to the impact of this film, "Resident Evil" only took in RMB 30 million at the box office in a single day.

The box office of 1 billion is stable, but at the 1.5 billion mark, there is no hope.

Zhang Sheng was already very satisfied with this.

"Resident Evil" is still in theaters, and Zhang Sheng's new film "Terminator" is ready and will start shooting soon.

Zhang Sheng had no intention of keeping a low profile when he started filming this time.

Is it also good to use the excitement of the new film conference to promote "Resident Evil"?

Nowadays, more and more new movies are being released, and the popularity of "Resident Evil" is also becoming less and less popular.

Although the box office has exceeded one billion.

But who doesn’t want to be excited and win higher box office?

The press conference for Zhang Sheng's new film naturally attracted countless media reporters.

"Director Zhang, your "Resident Evil" is still in theaters. Why are you so eager to shoot your new movie? Is it because after you finish filming, you have to rush to shoot the new movie directed by Jiang Bin?"

During the question and answer session, some media reporters couldn't help but ask about Zhang Sheng.

"I'm not in a hurry," Zhang Sheng said, "I started preparing this movie very early. Now that it's ready, it will naturally start shooting."

"This has nothing to do with starring in Director Jiang's film." Zhang Sheng said, "If I can't keep up with the schedule, I naturally won't accept Director Jiang's film."

To say this is not to deny Jiang Bin face.

Putting down his own movies is not in line with Zhang Sheng's character, nor is it in line with the interests of Chang Sheng Entertainment.

Zhang Sheng is not only a director and actor.

He is also the largest shareholder of Changsheng Entertainment.

If he was just an actor or director, he would put down "Terminator" and star in Jiang Bin's movie.

This is still possible.

It's a pity that he has to consider the interests of Changsheng Entertainment.

Of course, this drama was indeed filmed in advance, so the reason for moving the schedule to star in Jiang Bin's drama was.

But if this is the answer, then movie fans will inevitably lose a little confidence in this "rushed" movie.

"Director Zhang's new film, why did you still make a science fiction film?" the reporter said, "You haven't thought about trying other types of films?"

"What movie fans want, Changsheng Entertainment will make whatever they want. There are too few Chinese-language science fiction films, and the market is so big." Zhang Sheng said, "When choosing to make science fiction films, there are market considerations. In addition, there are also personal hobbies!"

"I quite like science fiction movies." Zhang Sheng said, "Of course, I will definitely consider shooting other types of movies in the future. Such as action movies, kung fu movies, and even martial arts movies. I am still young now, so take my time."

"What type of science fiction film is "Terminator"?" the reporter then asked, ""Source Code" has action suspense, and "Resident Evil" also has action suspense, as well as thriller and other elements. The science fiction element seems to be only one of them.

One. The same seems to be true of "Terminator"."

The words seemed very polite, but in fact they were saying that Zhang Sheng's previous two films were not pure science fiction films.

It just has sci-fi elements.

"Source Code" was released, and it's not uncommon for people to say that this movie is trying to seduce others.

"Resident Evil" is similar.

I think this movie is more suitable for a thriller or action movie than a science fiction movie.

Does it make it a science fiction movie if it has science fiction elements?

This also caused a lot of heated discussion on the Internet.

"'Terminator' also has action elements." Zhang Sheng said, "However, it only serves the science fiction elements of the film. The science fiction elements of this film are also far greater than the previous two films."

This movie has science fiction elements such as intelligent technology, robots, and time travel. It is said to be a science fiction film, and it deserves the title.

The story is also science fiction.

The exciting action scenes only add color to the movie.

"In Director Zhang's movie, why isn't the heroine Gu Sisi?"

In Zhang Sheng's two consecutive movies, Gu Sisi was the heroine.

The first film "Baby Zhi Duo Xing" just didn't have any suitable characters.

But Gu Sisi also made a cameo in the film.

After two movies in a row, in the eyes of many people, Gu Sisi is Zhang Sheng’s favorite heroine.

Who made the two of them a couple?

"I'm afraid you guys will say I'm nepotistic!" Zhang Sheng said with a smile.

When the reporter heard this, he was speechless.

If you don't do nepotism, then the heroine of this movie will be an artist from your company?

Were you not "nepotism" that time?

If you give priority to your own artists, isn't that nepotism?

"The choice of actor is the result of comprehensive considerations." Zhang Sheng said, "Liu Yun is quite suitable for the heroine role in this film."

Zhang Sheng chose Liu Yun, naturally not because she was suitable.

There are many actors suitable for that role.

To put it bluntly, it’s not because Liu Yun is an artist under Changsheng Entertainment

The reason why Gu Sisi was not chosen was because of scheduling issues, but more probably because the movie Poisoned Gu Sisi might not have much promotion.

The key is that there is also a sex scene in it.
