" Brother Song, what's the matter?" Zhang Fan asked.
"Why don't I chat with you? I thought we were friends. Haha, I was just joking. It's like this. I wonder how the preparation for the war movie script you mentioned is going. I'm looking forward to it.”Song Gongming said.
"I'll sort it out when I return to Tianhai. I'll send you an email then.”
In reality, Zhang Fan had already finished writing the script.
He had even started drawing the storyboard for Marvel's second big movie.
"Alright, I'll be waiting. Also, haven't you registered for Weibo yet? From tomorrow onwards, Inception will be officially promoted according to the A-grade project. Hurry up and apply for a Weibo account so that you can interact with the main leads during the promotion…"
Zhang Fan's lips curled into a smile as he listened.
It seemed like Nine Cauldrons was already adjusting the focus of their publicity. He had high hopes for Inception.
As for the script, it was just an excuse.
Zhang Fan hadn't applied for a Weibo account yet, so he hadn't applied for one yet. If he needed to interact with others to increase his popularity, he would be able to do so.
The two of them chatted for a while more before Song Gongming took the initiative to say,"Brother, I'm sure you already know that Conquering the Stars 'box office earnings are far below expectations. The board of directors is giving me a lot of pressure. How about this, you go back to Tianhai as soon as possible, and we'll work together to increase the publicity for Inception by another level. As for your war film, I will try my best to get you an investment…If the company's board of directors doesn't agree, I will personally invest in you. I still have a small amount of 120 million.”
Zhang Fan was quite touched.
"There's no need to trouble yourself. Actually, there's no hurry. I should be able to earn a small profit from Inception.”Zhang Fan said as he retreated.
He was not a web drama director who would give up the script and the right to decide the actors just for an investment of one or two million yuan. With the parasol tree, he did not have to worry about not being able to attract a golden phoenix.
Most of the time, the more you cared about something or someone, the less it cared. If you act very calm and indifferent, you will get the answer you want.
The human heart is so cheap, what can you do?
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Fan returned to his courtyard to continue chatting with his grandfather over tea. He suddenly heard his grandfather ask,""War film? Are you planning to make a war film in your next movie?”
Zhang Fan nodded." Yeah, it's a war movie."”
"What do you mean by 'considered'?”The old man said solemnly.
"Yes." " World War II, anti-fascist," Zhang Fan said confidently.”
When Zhang Qi heard this, he suddenly fell silent again.
After four to five minutes, Zhang Qi spoke again,""Xiao Fan, tell me, why are you making movies?”
"Earn money first, then spread the culture. China is a cultural country with a 5,000-year-old civilization, but now it's a country that has been exiled. Kids nowadays only knew about Superman and the Rocket Man, but they didn't know about Erlang Shen and Sun Wukong. They only know about Naruto, Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain, but they don't know about the five elements of Yin and Yang of our Chinese Daoists. Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain belong to our Chinese militarists…I want to change all of this. This is a war, and I want to win." Zhang Fan answered without any hesitation. His voice was loud and clear, and he sounded very resolute.
Zhang Qi looked at Zhang Fan in a daze, as if he wanted to get to know his grandson all over again.
Then, he smiled."Good, good, good. As expected of my good grandson."Since you know what you're doing, just do it. If you want to film a war movie, then do it well. I will give you my greatest support.”
"Yes."
Zhang Fan suddenly felt like he had a strong backing after receiving his grandfather's affirmation.
……
Zhang Fan stayed at home for another two days. During this time, Zhang Fan brought his family to the theater to watch Conquer the Stars. After watching the movie, Zhang Fan's father was very dissatisfied. He said that the fighting and fighting between the two of them were like child's play.
From Zhang Fan's professional point of view, there were too many problems with this movie. It was unknown what the director was thinking about in this two-and-a-half-hour movie. He had forcefully pieced together many messy and messy things. He wanted too many things, yet no one had agreed to it.
For example, they wanted to show the cruelty of interstellar wars, but they only used special effects. The excavation of human nature and character was very weak. If Zhang Fan were to edit this movie, he would be able to finish editing it in less than two hours.
The special effects were shocking, but the details were blurry. For example, the unique scenery and biological characteristics of the alien planet were not shown.
In short, the script itself was problematic, and the director was not good enough. After filming, it lacked something that would make people's blood boil. After watching the movie, he did not even have the urge to discuss the plot with others.
You won't read it a second time.
After seven days of screening, the box office sales had reached 850 million. It was all because of the support of Yang Yang's fans, as well as Nine Cauldrons 'strong publicity ability to hype up the film in the early stages.
Now, the screening rate of Conquering the Stars had dropped to 17%, and the subsequent box office sales continued to decline.
In fact, that was indeed the case. From the fifth day of screening, the reputation of Conquering the Stars plummeted. Overnight, all the netizens knew that this film was a bad movie. The box office sales suffered a huge setback. On the eighth day, the box office sales were less than 30 million. This news even made it to the top three trending searches the next day!
This time, even without going online, the newspapers also published the news that Conquering the Stars was a bad movie.
Zhang Fan received another phone call from Song Gongming. Song Gongming couldn't hide the anxiety and exhaustion in his voice.
"Brother, how have you been at home these past few days? If it was convenient, could he return to Tianhai earlier?”
Zhang Fan paused for a moment before replying," Alright."
In reality, Zhang Fan was already at the train station when he received the call.
Song Gongming's movie had suffered a huge loss, causing the stock price to drop by two to three percent every day. He was anxious to make Inception do well. Even if he didn't make a lot of money, he wanted Inception to at least help stabilize the falling stock price.
This call was completely within his expectations.
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, you have to take care of your health. As long as you're healthy, I'm very relieved.”
"Don't worry about us. Lil 'Fan, if you lose weight again the next time I see you, I'll beat you up.”Tang Xiaolan replied.
"I know, Mom. Don't worry."
"Xiao Fan, remember to bring a girlfriend back next time.”Grandpa said. After saying that, he winked his eyes slightly, as if he knew what was going on.
Zhang Fan secretly glanced back at her." Of course. I'm leaving."”
"Let's go."
Auntie Zhang suddenly felt a little sad, and her eyes were a little red.
Zhang Fan waved his hand vigorously as he boarded the train heading to Tianhai.
It was his turn!
