Chapter 487: Fast and Furious Ends
Chapter 487: Fast and Furious Ends
During this period, the Fast and Furious movies came to an end with polarized reputation in the country.
It grossed $3 million at the domestic box office, which was a huge success.
It's funny to say that the success of this movie is largely due to two people, Zhao Yun and Paul Walker, who didn't even participate in the film.
Zhao Yun woke up in the morning, practiced the Nine-Character Mantra, and lifted weights for two hours.
After taking a shower and having dinner, I just got to work and was thinking about how to reform the company so that it could run better when I received a call from Meng Ziren.
"Hello, Director Meng!" Zhao Yun spoke first after answering the phone.
"Hello, Zhao Yun! It's been a while since we last talked on the phone. How have you been lately?"
"I'm fine. Why did you think of calling me?" Zhao Yun didn't want to keep nagging him, so he asked him directly about his purpose.
"Haha, our Fast and Furious series has come to an end, and we're going to hold a thank-you party soon. As a main creator, why don't you come and join in the fun!"
Zhao Yun thought to himself: If I were a minor character, you wouldn't consider me a main creative staff. If I were a major character, even if you used one of my songs, I would be a main creative staff. It's really ironic, but also a reality.
However, Meng Ziren did make a lot of money because of Zhao Yun's song and his popularity, so Zhao Yun also wanted to do the opposite.
After all, sooner or later, the film industry will have a movie that can be popular, and the stray little broken ball is the opportunity for the film industry to be popular. After all, this kind of subject matter is still very popular abroad. Moreover, this script is also very popular abroad. Obama is a fan of it and keeps following it.
After thinking it through, Zhao Yun decided to agree and go talk to Meng Ziren. Especially Jason Statham, Zhao Yun decided to make friends with him. His popularity in Europe and the United States is similar to that of the flower grower Liu Dehua, and he has great influence.
"Director Meng, since it's a lively occasion, I'll call two more people!"
"Sure! Who is it?"
"My friend Wu Jingjing is now the box office champion director in the flower-growing world. And there is also a very awesome writer in our flower-growing world, Liu Cixin."
"Oh, the two of them! I know that Liu Cixin's novels are very popular here, and many people are reading them. There are also many people who want to film his works."
Actually, he was right. Many people wanted to film Liu Cixin's works. Liu Cixin wanted to agree to it, after all, he had no choice! Later, Guo Fan and Wu Jingjing found him, and Liu Cixin thought of letting the flower-growing family make a flower-growing family science fiction movie, so he did not sell the copyright to foreigners.
In this way, Zhao Yun was invited to attend their thank-you party.
After Zhao Yun hung up the phone, he quickly contacted Wu Jingjing and Liu Cixin.
When Wu Jingjing heard that he was going to attend the thank-you party, he was busy filming and was about to refuse. Later, he heard that Zhao Yun meant for him to get familiar with foreigners first, so that they could help promote the film when it was released overseas. Wu Jingjing then realized Zhao Yun's plan, and he quickly took Liu Cixin back to Yanjing overnight.
After all, flower growers have taken too much money from foreigners, and it is time to get some money from foreigners to recover some of the costs.
The next morning, the main actors of the Fast and Furious crew as well as Zhao Yun, Wu Jingjing and Liu Cixin attended the thank-you party together.
De Van Sell, Jason Statham, Meng Ziren and others first got to know Zhao Yun and others backstage.
Zhao Yun is now very influential in the European and American music scene and has many fans. Especially since he and Taylor Swift had a scandal some time ago, Zhao Yun is not known to everyone in Europe and America, but definitely known to the rich.
De Van Sel, Jason Statham felt a little like a fanboy when he saw Zhao Yun.
Afterwards, the main actors of the crew came on stage one by one to express their gratitude. They thanked the audience for their support and all the staff involved in the production. They said that the success of this film is inseparable from the dedication and hard work of everyone.
At the end of the thank-you party, Zhao Yun, Wu Jingjing and Liu Cixin came on stage together, saying that they were honored to be able to work with the "Fast and Furious" crew this time. They also thanked the crew for giving them the opportunity to participate.
The entire thank-you party was held in a lively atmosphere as everyone praised each other. The audience stood up and applauded, cheering for the wonderful performances of the "Fast and Furious" crew and Zhao Yun and others.
Before the end, fans and reporters urged Zhao Yun to sing a song.
Jason Statham also smiled and said while holding the microphone, "To be honest, I want Zhao Yun to hear it too!"
Zhao Yun reluctantly picked up the microphone and sang a few lines of the movie's theme song "See You Again".
Just a few lines of the song made everyone happy. Jason Statham even said, "If Zhao Yun came to the United States to hold a concert, he would definitely go to the scene as an audience member."
After the thank-you party, everyone attended a lunch together.
Zhao Yun sat next to Jason Statham and said, "Jason, when the movies I invested in are released overseas in the future, please help me promote them."
"No problem, I will definitely go for this little thing."
Meng Ziren asked, "What movie did you invest in?"
"A wandering little ball! Starring Wu Jingjing!" Zhao Yun pointed at Wu Jingjing.
"Wow! It turns out to be a film based on Liu Cixin's work. I'm really looking forward to it. Don't worry, I will use my connections to promote it for you when we get to the United States."
"Thank you!"
Meng Ziren also told Zhao Yun and the others about the film operation mechanism in the United States.
"Most theaters in the United States are controlled by a few major companies. Basically, they won't give you too many seats. And it's best to preview your movie for a while before it's released. During this time, you need to get major film critics to write good reviews for you in magazines. As for how good reviews come from, you should know."
Zhao Yun nodded after hearing this! It's just a red envelope!
"These film critics have a lot of say, and even the major film and television companies in the United States treat them with courtesy. They may not be able to help you get high box office, but they can still make sure that your box office is not too high."
"As for the box office, if you have a good movie, it depends on whether you are willing to cooperate with the major entertainment companies. If they can't get their interests, they won't give you a seat. The way capital survives is for capital, you should understand this."
"I see, thank you! Director Meng, do you have any plans for this year or next year?"
"I have no plans for next year. This year's movie is considered a success. I should enjoy my life and find some young models to go on a trip to the sea for a while."
After hearing this, Zhao Yun also admired Meng Ziren very much. Play when you should play and work when you should work. This life is really free and easy.
"If I have a suitable script next year, can you come and help me shoot it? Of course I will discuss it with your company in the form of cooperation."
Zhao Yun's words were not without purpose, because when he was reading the company's internal information recently, he saw that they had recently bought a script of Megalodon, and the company rated this play as a big-budget, big-production, relatively bloody, and very suitable for Europe and the United States.
Meng Ziren, who has filmed big productions like Fast and Furious and bloody movies like Saw, can definitely handle this well.
Meng Ziren laughed after hearing this, "You can give me the script and let me see if it's suitable. If it suits my style, there's no problem with cooperation. If it's not my style, I can't waste your money."
Zhao Yun nodded, "Okay! I'll send it to you when the time comes and you can take a look at it when you have time."
At this time, Jason Statham heard the conversation between the two and touched his big head, "I wonder if I have a chance to participate in this movie you are talking about?"
