The registered name of "Animal World" is really called "Rock Paper Scissors". It has been decided to change the name to "Animal World", but the temporary registration record of the General Administration will not be changed.
Let's talk about it when it starts up.
The announcement of Rock, Paper, Scissors brought a lot of attention to the studio.
Due to the album's huge sales and his active publicity and appearances, Zhang Yuanjun became very popular at the end of the year.
"'Famous' hasn't even been released, and I haven't even made any money yet, so I'm rushing to start a new project. This newcomer really doesn't know what the sky is and the sky is the limit."
"What does he think of the movie as playing house?"
Not optimistic, generally not optimistic.
But there are those who are big on gambling and are willing to bet on "Animal World".
Such as Huayi and Shanghai Film.
Especially for Huayi, the filming of "Buried Alive" has not yet started, but Huayi used this sign to fool a lot of investment.
Huayi knows that "Buried Alive" is an ultra-low-budget movie.
But the Wang brothers don't care. What they want is not movies, but to attract investment under the banner of "participating in Hollywood."
For this reason, the two brothers flew to the United States to inspect the preparations of the "Buried Alive" crew, and then came back to tell the story with photos and videos.
The US$5 million they invested has almost been recovered in the past few months, and they can increase their investment in "Ink Attack".
They use "Buried Alive" and "Ink Attack" to attract investment.
Hollywood on the left, Andy Lau on the right.
Can you not invest money?
Huayi is very optimistic about the movie "Ink Attack". The main creators bring together outstanding filmmakers from China, Japan and South Korea. It has big stars, big scenes, and special effects. It has all the factors for a blockbuster hit.
With "The Night Banquet" on the summer schedule and "Ink Attack" on the Lunar New Year schedule, Huayi is launching two blockbusters this year, and the Wang brothers don't know how to lose.
When Wang Zhonglei was happy, he became very talkative and became interested in "Animal World".
He didn't think Zhang Yuanjun was fooling around. Instead, he said, "Don't underestimate this student. He is very capable of doing things and can accomplish things."
Therefore, he assigned an old producer from Huayi to talk to Zhang Yuanjun about "Animal World".
The thousand-year-old second-year-old Shangying is also interested in this film.
Almost all of Shanghai Film’s 2005 films hit the streets!
At the end of 2004, it was announced that 6 movies would be released in theaters, but after one year, only 3 movies were released, and the total box office did not exceed 10 million.
Although profit making is not the most important goal of large state-owned enterprises, they have social responsibilities.
But Ren Zhonglun is not willing to do one thing and another one.
Especially last year's "The Countess", which was the first true co-production in Chinese film history, with the Shanghai Film Festival participating in the global split.
The movie was also released during the Lunar New Year festival at the end of the year, but it received no success, and its overseas performance was equally disastrous.
In fact, it can be seen from this that Shanghai Film Group Corporation, or Ren Zhonglun, has a great gambling appetite, at least greater than that of China Film Group Corporation.
Who wants to be the second child?
How can you turn around without gambling?
So he took aim at Zhang Yuanjun.
Someone was also sent to negotiate investment in "Animal World".
Huayi and Shanghai Film both have huge businesses and huge appetites. In order to share the risks, Zhang Yuanjun is of course willing to share the investment.
But investment cannot be negotiated in three or five days. Zhang Yuanjun chose to leave matters on the negotiation table to a professional veteran producer.
He had to find time to exercise and get back in shape. "Buried Alive" required him to be a little stronger. There was even a topless scene in "Animal World", so Zhang Yuanjun had to show off his muscles.
Zhang Yuanjun took the mobile phone in the locker at night and planned to leave the gym. It showed 17 missed calls and 38 unread text messages.
Zhang Yuanjun looked through these records and roughly guessed that he came to inquire about "Animal World".
Don't want to go back.
But Liu Yifei called herself 3 times and sent 2 text messages:
"What are you doing? Why don't you answer the phone?"
"If you have something to ask for, call me when you're done."
Zhang Yuanjun looked at the time. It was past 8 p.m. Liu Yifei was probably still training, so he didn't know if he could answer the call.
But he still dialed Liu Yifei's phone number.
"Hello." The person who answered the phone was Liu Yifei's assistant, "Yuanjun, please find Yifei. She is practicing singing. I will find her for you."
"Okay, sorry for bothering you."
There were thumping footsteps on the other side of the phone, and then Liu Yifei's assistant called: "Yifei, Liu Yifei, answer the phone."
"Who is it?" Liu Yifei's voice was very small.
"The number one student in your class." Even Assistant Liu Yifei teased him.
Zhang Yuanjun, who was waiting for Liu Yifei to answer the phone, was speechless for a while, and he still couldn't get rid of this name.
Liu Yifei answered the phone and her first words were: "No. 1 niche student."
"Can you talk nicely? If you do this again, I will die."
"Okay, okay, I won't tell." Liu Yifei smiled, "What do you want from me?"
"You asked me for something. You asked me to call you back." Zhang Yuanjun said.
"Oh, right." Liu Yifei reacted, "What's going on with your "Rock, Paper, Scissors" movie?"
"What's going on? It's just a new movie. I said you are really good at it. You are so busy training in Japan, and you still have time to pay attention to domestic news. This movie was exposed yesterday, and you will know it today."
Zhang Yuanjun would never have imagined that Liu Yifei’s source of information about this film was Zhang Yuanjun’s post forum.
"You are famous now, I don't even want to see you." Liu Yifei randomly found an excuse to sneak in.
Zhang Yuanjun really didn't get suspicious: "If you have any questions, just say it. International long distance is quite expensive."
"Are you worried about the phone bill when you call me?"
"If you don't tell me, I'm going to die." Zhang Yuanjun didn't tolerate her.
"Tell me," Liu Yifei knew that Zhang Yuanjun would really hang up on her, "that is, I saw in the synopsis of the story circulated on the Internet, the hero's girlfriend is named Liu Qing, and she is a nurse..."
"I knew it." Zhang Yuanjun interrupted Liu Yifei, "As soon as you stick your butt out, I'll know what shit you're shitting."
"Bah!" Liu Yifei spat at him.
"I'm sorry, I was offended." It's really inappropriate to say that to a girl.
"Although Liu Qing is the heroine, she doesn't have many roles. She only appears at the beginning and end. I'm planning to let someone spend a few days to make a cameo."
"Others are not as good as me, so I will make a guest appearance." Liu Yifei said.
"You? You should deal with your mother first." Although Liu Xiaoli is a gentle and generous beautiful aunt, Zhang Yuanjun still subconsciously felt that Liu Xiaoli would not like his crew because of the stereotypes in his previous life.
"If I don't tell her, I will return to China in the second half of the year. Hey, your drama is not so fast, right?" Liu Yifei asked.
"No, the script hasn't been released yet."
"Then it's settled. When I come back in the second half of the year, don't give Liu Qing to others. You have no use for me in "Famous". This time Liu Qing, you have to promise me no matter what!" He didn't wait until he finished speaking. Zhang Yuanjun agreed, "The teacher is urging me, I will continue training, bye."
Toot toot toot…
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Zhang Yuanjun muttered to himself: "I'm so frizzy, I don't know who I learned it from."
The two ended the call and Zhang Yuanjun walked back.
Film resources are really in short supply now.
Being able to make movies is a great thing.
Regardless of whether "Rock, Paper, Scissors" can be made or not, or what the quality is, if the film can be registered and approved, it means it will be made.
Zhang Yuanjun's studio is small, but what does this have to do with the actors? Aren't films made by small companies not films?
Therefore, after the announcement of "Rock, Paper, Scissors", many managers came to promote their artists.
For the first time, Zhang Yuanjun's studio felt like a crowded place.
very nice.
