What should I do if my girlfriend is famous and doesn't dump me?

Chapter 388
Lion King Pictures entered the hands of Zhang Yu, but did not make much adjustments.

At least not now.

Of course, it is not the same layer.

Such as company finance.

The company's personnel have not changed much, and everything is business as usual.

This is obviously just an excess.

If the changes are too drastic at once, people will inevitably panic, which is not conducive to the development of the company.

However, even if the company has not changed.

The boss Zhang Shisan's voice in the company is naturally amazing.

He can decide who stays and who goes away.

What's more, "Forrest Gump" is a work written by him, so the director of the film will naturally ask him to discuss it.

If it's an ordinary screenwriter, maybe he was recruited to Hollywood.

But Zhang Yu is the boss, and he can't get away for the time being.

So director Robert Hanks came to China in person and approached Zhang Yu.

Robert is not considered a top director in Hollywood, but he is still considered a first-line director.

He is also one of the most suitable directors to direct the film "Forrest Gump".

Zhang Yu has seen many films directed by him.

Robert's ability is naturally beyond doubt.

In Zhang Yu's view, he is only one step away from those top Hollywood directors with a good script.

Then Robert can naturally see the quality of "Forrest Gump" written by Zhang Yu.

He could also see what the film meant to him.

Therefore, his emphasis on this film may not be lower than that of Zhang Yu.

This was also one of the reasons why he couldn't wait to come to Huaxia to find Zhang Yu.

Even if Zhang Yu is not the boss, but just a screenwriter, he will take the initiative like this.

For no other reason, just because of attention.

And with him came a Hollywood actor Tom Zemeckis.

Tom is not well-known in Hollywood, and he looks like a second-tier one.

But Zhang Yu knew that his acting skills were still very good.

Zhang Yu was going to Hollywood after filming "Avatar" to start his superhero movie world, so he naturally got to know the directors and actors in Hollywood.

His photographic memory naturally impressed Tom.

What is the purpose of Robert bringing Tom here, how could Zhang Yu not understand.

The importance of the male number one to this movie can be imagined.

It is definitely one of the keys to the success or failure of the film.

Robert came with Tom, obviously intending him to play.

The choice of actors, the director has great autonomy.

However, directors almost always ask for Zhang Yu's opinion on films written by Zhang Yu.

Robert is no exception.

This is not only because Zhang Yu is the investor of this movie.

His screenwriter is also an excellent director.

His opinion is a great boost to the film.

Zhang Yu believes in Robert's vision, but whether Tom is suitable or not still needs to be tested.

This is also responsible for the film and respect for the actors.

As his first film after acquiring Lion Films, this film should not be missed.

Zhang Yu was pleasantly surprised after some trials.

Perhaps, this film will give Tom something to do at the Oscars.

Robert and his party stayed in the crew for several days.

This has nothing to do with Zhang Yu's new film.

Discussing the script with them will have to wait until Zhang Yu finishes his work.

Zhang Yu will not delay the shooting of his film because of them.

After some discussion, Robert returned to Hollywood with a full harvest, and Yang Ruoxue's album began to be promoted on the charts.

This time, we will start with Europe and America.

A song "The Sound Of Silence" boarded the major European and American music charts at an astonishing speed, and went to the top of the list.

The melody of "Sound of Silence" is slow and low, and the lyrics are full of a hallucinatory artistic conception.

Listening carefully, it seems to be telling a kind of catharsis of youth and helplessness.

In front of my eyes, I seem to see an ignorant girl walking alone in a narrow and cold alley paved with cobblestones. The noisy crowd gradually recedes behind her, and there is an endless night in front of her...

If the song is a folk song, it seems too deep. If the rhythm that oscillates with the strong music is a rock, it is too delicate. Musically, it has created a neutral body, which should be the biggest reason for its success.

This song was also used as the interlude and ending song of the movie "The Graduate".

This song was hailed as one of the most classic pieces of music in history in the previous life. It touched the hearts of millions of people all over the world and has been sung for a long time.

In this world, it seems to be a matter of course when it becomes popular.

Why did Yang Ruoxue's studio choose such a song as the hit song.

Zhang Yu didn't know.

He didn't have time to pay attention either.

However, if you take out any of the seven English songs, they may all be the same.

Of course, when the classic songs from the previous life come to this world, no one can guarantee that they will be popular.

No one can guarantee.

However, judging from the reactions of all parties, it was obviously a success.

At least this chart-topping song is on fire.

And it's explosive.

Yang Ruoxue went to Europe and the United States to hit the charts with an English song, and went straight to the top of the charts.

When the news spread back to the country, it still caused a great sensation.

Everyone could see that Yang Ruoxue was ready to charge internationally.

And it seems to be working.

Some information about her new album was also revealed.

There are twelve songs in the album, only four Chinese songs.

Even so, domestic fans are looking forward to this album.

Who doesn't know that Zhang Shisan wrote the lyrics and composed the music, and if he picks out any song at random, it is at the level of the title song.

As for how the album will perform in Europe, America and other places, the domestic public is still looking forward to it.

There are really no Chinese pop singers who have made a name for themselves abroad with their songs alone.

It is obviously much easier for an actor to go abroad than for a singer.

Chinese stars who have a certain reputation abroad are obviously actors.

Yang Ruoxue's new album has [-] songs, and the lyrics and music are all written by Zhang Shisan.

This in itself is extremely gimmicky.

Needless to say in China, Zhang Shisan's talent in songwriting has already been recognized by all fans.

And what about abroad?

Zhang Shisan is not an unknown person now.

He is undoubtedly best known for his movies, as well as his kung fu.

However, with the promotion of Yang Ruoxue's album, foreign fans realized that he still has such talent in songwriting.

At this time, many talents suddenly remembered that Zhang Shisan had mentioned at the Oscars more than once that he was a music student.

It's a song created by such a great director, and the singer is his wife.

Such a gimmick naturally attracted many fans and movie fans.

And the quality of the songs on the album is so high.

When all the factors are added together, the chemical effect produced can be imagined.

When the album was released, it exploded instantly.

The songs in the album swept all major charts in Europe and America.

Correct!
Just sweep.

Almost all the songs in it have been on the major music charts.

Especially the seven English songs, and the one without lyrics.

Almost all of them broke into the top ten of the major lists.

At the top of the list are those songs.

The momentum was so fierce that the European and American singers were speechless, a little suspicious of life, and even closed themselves off.

Why is an English song sung by a Chinese singer so awesome?

How can it be!

The English song was actually produced by a Chinese director.

incredible.

Yang Ruoxue's album was a big hit, and the songs on the album were all popular, even the Chinese songs in the album rushed into the charts.

This is absolutely unprecedented.

This album set a record.

One can imagine how powerful Yang Ruoxue's album is.

This is true abroad, not to mention domestically.

Blast!

These two words can't describe Yang Ruoxue's album.

And Yang Ruoxue also made a big name abroad with this album.

Her popularity abroad also skyrocketed instantly.

She is fully worthy of the word "international superstar" now.

There is no need for media adulation, let alone self-advocacy.

And what about Zhang Yu?

With the help of this album, foreign countries have seen his talent in music.

His popularity and popularity have also increased a lot.

The talent in the film is recognized, and the talent in music is so amazing.

In addition, the kung fu is still so powerful.

This is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

Zhang Yu's popularity abroad has greatly increased, which has undoubtedly greatly promoted his box office appeal in the international film market.

Visibility and popularity can be transformed into appeal.

"It's a surprise!" Fang Zhengxian said to Zhang Yu with a smile, "Your wife's music album has sold well all over the world, and your popularity has increased dramatically. Tsk tsk, is it your wife who got the credit from you, or you who got the credit from her?" ?”

"Accident?" Zhang Yu smiled and said, "As for who takes advantage of whom, does it matter?"

Accident?
Not surprisingly.

This was something that Zhang Yu expected.

Of course, it was better than he expected.

For others, that was a bit of a surprise.

Well-written Chinese songs do not mean that English songs are well-written.

Don't say that music is interlinked.

If this is the case, why haven't so many talented singer-songwriters in China written good English songs to help them go abroad?
Don't say they don't want to.

This allows foreign musicians to try to create a Chinese song?
As for Zhang Yu and Yang Ruoxue, who gets the credit, does it matter as Zhang Yu said?

Apparently not that important either.

Between husband and wife, there is so much fuss.

Yang Ruoxue's album promotion obviously borrowed Zhang Yu's popularity abroad.

Although he is famous all over the world as a film director and kung fu master, his achievements in music are not bad.

After all, he has been nominated for many Oscars for his music, and he also won the best soundtrack.

That speaks volumes about his musical talent.

The songs he wrote and composed are still very attractive to Zhang Yu's fans abroad.

"Let's achieve each other!" Fang Zhengxian said, "Have you ever thought about releasing an album of English songs?"

"What, you want me to shift my focus to music?" Zhang Yu asked.

"By the way." Fang Zhengxian shook his head quickly and said, "Publishing an album will undoubtedly help expand your reputation abroad and increase your popularity."

It's hard to say who doesn't want Zhang Yu to focus on music the most.

But Fang Zhengxian is definitely one of them.

"talk later!"

Zhang Yu thought about it, but did not refuse.

What Fang Zhengxian said was good.

If he releases an album and becomes famous abroad as a singer, it will indeed help to expand his reputation and increase his popularity.

This is still very helpful to his box office appeal abroad.

These are the reasons why artists at home and abroad like the all-round development of film and television songs.

However, he doesn't care about that now.

Whether there will be in the future is not clear now.

"'Despicable Me' is gradually dropping globally, and the box office is much better than expected." Fang Zhengxian said with a smile.

There are only three blockbuster films released by Shisan Film and Television this year, including "Shuimen Bridge of Changjin Lake" released during the Spring Festival.

Now there is only "Transformers 2", which will be released at the end of the year.

The first two have clearly been successful.

The domestic box office of "Despicable Me" exceeded 40 billion, which is far inferior to "The Water Gate Bridge of Changjin Lake", but the global box office is not comparable to the latter.

The cumulative foreign box office of the two films of "Changjin Lake" is far less than a fraction of that of "Despicable Me".

The North American box office of "Despicable Me" exceeded [-] million US dollars, and the cumulative box office in Europe, Asia and other countries and regions exceeded [-] million US dollars.

Although the cumulative global box office has not exceeded 20 billion US dollars, it is still very amazing.

Compared with the original box office, it has almost doubled.

This is indeed much higher than what Zhang Yu expected.

As for whether this film will become the highest-grossing film among the films released by Thirteen Film and Television this year, it depends on the "Transformers 2" at the end of the year.

Of course, in addition to the release of these three blockbuster films, Thirteen Film and Television also released many low-budget films.

The box office is good and bad, high and low, but basically no money is lost.

A mature film and television company obviously doesn't just invest in blockbusters.

Small-budget films are also necessary.

At least it can play a role in cultivating people.

"Yang Jiao's new film should already be in production, right?" Zhang Yu said.

Yang Jiao's new film is not a sequel to "Despicable Me" or "Kung Fu Panda", but a new film "Ice Age"!
Apparently another series of animations.

"Yeah!" Fang Zhengxian nodded, and said, "It's not a problem that you always put fan pigeons on you!"

As soon as Fang Zhengxian said this, Zhang Yu finally understood the purpose of his visit.

When "Despicable Me" was released, many fans said that he did not fill in the holes.

I was even asked by media reporters at the premiere.

Fang Zhengxian worried that fans would have too much opinion on this.

"Are there any other suitable candidates?" Zhang Yu asked.

"My opinion is to let Yang Jiao be responsible." Fang Zhengxian said, "Sequels are not easy to do. If they fail, the loss will be great and the impact will be great. In China, animation directors are scarce, and it takes time to grow."

Thirteen Film and Television has many animation directors.

However, they still need the work to prove themselves.

If they were to be in charge of blockbuster movies right from the start, the risk would be too great, and obviously it would be difficult for people to rest assured.

Moreover, the sequel film will affect the entire series. If it is smashed, the loss will be incalculable.

"Then let's wait until Yang Jiao finishes the animation in hand." Zhang Yu nodded and said, "If the investment is not too big, and they have good books and ideas, it's okay to let them try."

not very big?

Meaning it could be a little bigger.

Fang Zhengxian nodded and said nothing.

That's what he said, but how to grasp it is his business.

He is in charge of management, but it is not unrelated to film investment.

Zhang Yu is in charge of the production, but most of the scripts are written by him.

For other films, Fang Zhengxian was still making up his mind.
