The "Gravity" project has been officially approved. Tianmi Film and Television Production Company, Bona Pictures, Enlight Pictures, and Penguin Pictures are the main investors, and Bona Pictures and China Film are responsible for distribution.
In addition, as many as a dozen investors and film and television funds have joined this project. The expected production cost of the entire project is 500 million.
This is a real 500 million, not the 500 million advertised by other movies. It is not certain whether the actual investment is 100 million.
Everyone knows the specific reasons.
The project has been approved, and the official Weibo of Tianmi Film and Television Production Company also revealed that there is only a concept poster designed by Zhang Hao.
In the poster, the earth between the morning and evening lines occupies most of the space. Below the earth, an astronaut wearing a spacesuit is floating in space at an angle of 45 degrees.
The direction the astronauts were looking at was a damaged spacecraft.
At the bottom of the poster, four large cursive characters were written: "Gravity".
Looking at this sci-fi poster and the revealed title, netizens instantly became excited. Zhang Hao did not go deep into Hollywood, but came back to make Chinese movies.
This instantly broke some people's rumors that Zhang Hao would never come back. Facts have proved that Zhang Hao just went to learn technology as he said.
However, is the new project "Gravity" a bit too risky?
Chinese science fiction film? Is this really possible?
Many netizens, including fans of Zhang Hao, left messages under the poster, expressing their disapproval and support for the film, but most people chose to wait and see.
"Domestic science fiction film? Director Zhang, is this serious?"
"It's not that I'm not optimistic about it. If it's another genre, forget it, but I'd better forget it if it's a domestic science fiction film."
"How can you forget it? You didn't expect director Zhang to direct the Batman movie at first, but now the movie's box office is running at 600 million US dollars.
Facts have proved that director Zhang Hao can create miracles."
"To create a miracle, it also depends on the overall level. In Hollywood, Zhang Hao has a gold medal producer to check him, Warner Pictures controls the creative process, and there are so many outstanding Hollywood film technical talents.
What do we have? Just rely on Zhang Hao alone?"
"Director Zhang is not just relying on him. He brought a team of more than 100 people to study. Have you forgotten? His Tiangong Yicai Studio also participated in the production of "Batman Begins" and has already
It is the most top-notch special effects studio in the country.
If you have talent and technology, how can you say you have no foundation?"
"There's no point in arguing. We'll find out when the movie comes out and we watch it?"
"Anyway, I support other types of films, but I won't watch domestic science fiction films."
The father-in-law said that the father-in-law was right and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right, but no one could convince anyone, and they were all talking hard. But it doesn't matter. At the end of the war of words, we still have to look at the final quality of the film.
But this enthusiasm has made more people know that Zhang Hao is about to shoot a Chinese-language science fiction film, which can be regarded as a bit of hype in advance and attract some traffic.
Compared with movie fans, netizens, ordinary viewers and other outsiders, insiders are also talking about it.
Mr. Wang originally sought reconciliation with Zhang Hao after Zhang Hao returned to China in order to achieve another cooperation between Huayi and Tianmi Film and Television Company.
But as soon as he heard about the domestic science fiction film produced by Zhang Hao, Mr. Wang immediately backed down.
What Mr. Wang said makes sense: "Zhang Hao went to Hollywood for a tour and thought he was invincible in the film market. The next period of time will be Zhang Hao's expansion period.
Huayi might as well wait, wait until Zhang Hao stumbles, the movie project hits the market, the studio project is stranded, and then Huayi comes to the rescue.
In this way, Zhang Hao will be grateful to Huayi and will work hard for Huayi in the future."
The King always made sense. Rather than cooperating, it was more in Huayi's interests to make Zhang Hao one of his own and a director working for him, so he became less eager to pursue Zhang Hao.
The same situation happened between Mr. Cong and his father. Mr. Cong explained the reason to Wang Yiwan: "Dad, I studied philosophy and also studied psychology.
If Zhang Hao follows the steps, he will definitely be one of the best directors in China, but now he is arrogant and arrogant. Historical experience tells me that such people will eventually fail.
We might as well wait for him to fail and then help him, so that Wanda will have a big A-list director."
After hearing his son's plan, Wang Yiwan was noncommittal. Although Wang Yiwan thought that Zhang Hao's rash decision to launch a science fiction film project was a bit radical, he did not think that Zhang Hao planned such a project because of his exaggeration.
The son had a good idea. When Zhang Hao failed, he would give Zhang Hao a hand and tie him to Wanda Pictures' chariot.
But he never thought about what to do if he succeeded. Then all the doubts Zhang Hao faced would no longer exist, and he would be even more popular than now.
Moreover, as a businessman with a long-term vision, Wang Yiwan understands clearly that even if he fails, he still needs the help of Wanda Pictures as he still has Penguin, a giant company that is no less important than Wanda?
However, since his graduation, his son has rarely begun to work hard on his career. Wang Yiwan doesn't want to dampen his son's enthusiasm, so he simply trades this matter for his son's growth!
As soon as he thought about this, Wang Yiwan smiled and said: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, you must learn to grow."
Mr. Cong didn't hear his father's blessing at all, and grinned: "Don't worry, Dad, it will be fine this time."
With the release of a poster, there was such an enthusiastic discussion. This is the effect Zhang Hao wanted to achieve. Then the official blog lady revealed more things, such as the four cursive characters of "Gravity" are Zhang Hao's grandfather.
Handwritten.
Immediately, a well-known calligrapher stood up and began to praise: "Mr. Zhang's calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, with high artistic value and great collection value."
Later, a well-known painter came out and said: "The basic composition of this poster has a very aesthetic design feel. Director Zhang Hao's artistic talent cannot be overshadowed."
Many people in the cultural field also came forward to criticize the poster from the perspective of aesthetics, fonts, and art.
Of course, this is all arranged in advance. In the face of generous red envelopes, few so-called artists can insist on not giving up for five buckets of rice.
Of course, they are not lying. The design of this poster is indeed very artistic.
Everyone knows the name of the movie and the project, but now the only thing they care about is the choice of the protagonist.
Every time a Zhang Hao movie project is approved, the general audience will make a fuss for a while, and the film companies that are not involved will just discuss it in Yuanwang.
But things are not that simple in the actor circle, which means competition is coming.
What is the most important thing in the entertainment industry? It is resources. Stars big and small all rely on resources to survive.
Variety shows, TV series, and advertising endorsements are all resources, not to mention movies that represent one's worth and status, which are even more scarce resources.
Especially the opportunity to work with Zhang Hao, who is already considered a top director, made the actors compete for the lead.
If you look at the people Zhang Hao promoted, you will know that Li Qin, Li Xian, Bai Yu, Tan Songyun, and even the Great Power were almost single-handedly promoted by Zhang Hao.
After Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, Guo Tao, etc. cooperated with Zhang Hao, their careers reached a higher level.
Andy Lau is even more incredible. With Zhang Hao's films, he has become the best actor for five consecutive years, completing an amazing achievement.
Therefore, once Zhang Hao has a new movie project, stars big and small in the industry will try their best to get it, and they will fight hard. In other words, if Zhang Hao wants to unspoken rules, the number of female stars who are willing to be his unwritten rules can be ranked Go to the Third Ring Road.
If Zhang Hao was interested in male stars, pretty boys, and fresh meat, the team would probably have to go to the Fifth Ring Road.
But Zhang Hao was not interested, which disappointed those who wanted to rely on beauty or muscles to get ahead, and they couldn't sleep with the director.
"Gravity" doesn't use many actors. There are only two and a half actors in total. The roles of one and a half actors are not too many. They are basically the heroine's one-man show.
The heroine has already been cast in a big role, and the other role has been cast by Andy Lau, and the remaining half has been cast by Wu Jing.
By the way, when Zhang Hao was busy working on the Batman project in North America, Wu Jing once brought his own "Wolf Warrior" project to seek investment.
When company executive Cai Runping saw that it was a military action movie, she immediately judged that the subject was uninteresting and thought about rejecting it.
But before refusing, Cai Runping was more thoughtful and called Zhang Hao's assistant Tang Qianqian. After Tang Qianqian asked Zhang Hao what he meant, Tianpower Film and Television Production Company invested 15 million to join the project.
No one was optimistic about Wu Jing's project. He sold his house, took out his savings over the years, and with the support of his friend Lu Jianmin, he started the film project.
I searched for investors, but all the film companies refused. Only Zhang Hao's Tianmi supported it and invested 15 million yuan.
This friendship made Wu Jing feel grateful. When Zhang Hao talked to Wu Jing about the half-person trick in "Gravity" at the "Wolf Warrior" launch meeting, he agreed without even thinking.
"If Mi Mi had not become your heroine, I would have wanted her to star in "Wolf Warriors"." Wu Jing looked at Mi Mi who was chatting with Yu Nan and said to Zhang Hao.
"It doesn't matter, just let Mi Mi star in "Wolf Warrior 2"." Zhang Hao said with a smile.
"You're too polite. I'm not sure whether this movie will be a success or not. How can there be a second one?" Wu Jing said, feeling a little unsure.
Zhang Hao smiled and said: "Brother Jing, don't say that. If you don't believe in yourself, you must also believe in my vision. Together we will create a miracle in film history."
"That's right. Everyone agrees with your vision, but recently some people say you are Madman Zhang and I am Fool Wu." Wu Jing frowned, obviously some comments on the Internet were a bit unpleasant.
"They are just jealous. If you want to do something big, you have to face this strange gaze. Most people don't have this kind of long-term vision, and we are destined to be a small minority of people who succeed."
"Well said, cheers..."
"cheers……"
This is the launch ceremony of "Wolf Warrior". The next day Wu Jing will take the crew to Jinling for filming. He just finished training in the army there a few months ago.
Because Zhang Hao was drunk, he drove at high speed.
On the way back, Da Mi Mi asked Zhang Hao: "Are you so optimistic about this project?"
"Just believe me. How many times have I told you that this film will create a milestone in military action films." Zhang Hao drank a little too much and was a little dizzy.
He lowered the car window and let the wind blow in, which helped Zhang Hao relieve his dizziness.
"Of course I believe you. Even if you make a science fiction movie, I will definitely work with you. Moreover, the money has been given to others, and it is too late to regret now." Da Mi Mi said.
"That's right, in the next "Wolf Warrior", you can naturally become the heroine. This is a brilliant resume..." Zhang Hao said and fell asleep.
Da Mi Mi looked at the sleeping Zhang Hao speechlessly, and made a gesture in his mouth: "Little fool..."
At the same time, he couldn't help but chuckle, fearing that Zhang Hao would catch a cold, so he closed the car window again.
