The meeting between the main creators of "Steel Horn" before the filming started was harmonious. Everyone is very confident about this movie. After all, Han Sen and Tang Wu are both top-notch actors in the country and are extremely popular among the younger generation.
What's more, the investment in this movie is as high as 500 million yuan, which is a huge gimmick in itself and will attract countless people's attention when it is released in the future.
After the initial meeting, Xu Weizhou held a press conference and announced that filming of "Steel" would officially begin in early February.
At the press conference, Xu Weizhou showed the large ship model of "Steel". The large ship model cost a total of 100 million. It is basically the same as the real cruise ship. At the scene, Xu Weizhou introduced to reporters through images and photos the silence of a hundred years ago.
A huge cruise ship in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.
Through multiple shooting angles such as close-up shots and high-altitude shots, even some well-informed reporters were deeply shocked by the size of this cruise ship, which was once known as the largest in the world.
People can already feel the unparalleled sense of depression and fear of the giant thing on the screen, not to mention the feeling when they visit the scene in person. For a while, all the reporters were deeply impressed by the Steel. Some even said in public that they would be careful after returning.
I have delved into history and kept the details of this shipwreck that shocked the world firmly in my mind. I also sincerely hope that the "Steel" team can perfectly shoot and restore the epic feeling of this giant ship.
At the press conference, Han Sen did not arrive at the scene because he was participating in some endorsement activities, but he greeted the reporters on site via video link and answered a few questions in public.
Although I didn't attend the event in person, it didn't give people the feeling of being a big-name brand, as if that was how it should be.
Even though this drama was directed by the great director Xu Weizhou himself, in terms of popularity and status, Han Sen's current achievements are definitely worthy of anyone's.
At the press conference, someone asked Tang Wu what her expectations were for this drama, and what she thought of her upcoming collaboration with Han Sen.
This drama not only made Han Sen and Xiang Yihua's net worth and status skyrocket, but also created many impressive characters in the film, such as Buck Ya Zhen, Charter Wife, Charter Man, Jiang Bao or Fatty Cong, mute girl Yang Rong, etc.
People basically have a skyrocketing value
, from an unknown low-level actor to a top-notch actor in an instant. Although this effect will disappear as the popularity of the movie wanes, at present, the popularity of these supporting roles is absolutely undeniable.
.
So when Tang Wu blurted out that it was one of the top ten box office films in global film history, Xu Weizhou was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Although Xu Weizhou's status, strength, fame, etc. are higher than Xiang Yihua's, his box office results are not ideal, and the highest-grossing movie is only 2 to 3 billion.
The science fiction film "Mars" currently ranks first at the global box office. It was the retirement film of Chinese director Mr. Shi Kepei seven years ago at the beginning of the century. Mr. Shi Kepei was a science fiction novelist when he was over 60 years old.
Dedicated to photography, turning words into reality, he has won numerous Chinese and international film awards in his 20 years of debut. When he was approaching retirement, he spent all his savings and funds to shoot this "coffin-sealing work"
.
"Why do you think so?" Xu Weizhou was puzzled. He felt it didn't make sense, because among Tang Wu's films, the one with the highest box office only only cost over one billion.
Amid such huge discussions and expectations, "Steel" held a press conference to tell all fans that the filming of this movie is about to begin.
But at present, although "Kung Fu" is a big hit in China and is expected to earn about 6 billion in box office, it can only be ranked in the top ten in Chinese film history. If it wants to be ranked in the top ten in global film history, it basically needs to be
With a global box office of around 13 billion, it was able to rank tenth.
Tang Wu nodded and said: "Yes, we will definitely achieve it."
Although he is a well-known director in the field of disaster films and science fiction films, in terms of box office performance, Xu Weizhou cannot keep up with Xiang Yihua.
"This drama has the support of Han Sen and Tang Wu, and is directed by director Xu Weizhou. It is also a script written by Han Sen himself. It is certain that the box office will surpass "Kung Fu", and the box office of "Kung Fu" will eventually be set at
About six billion, not counting the "work"
The global box office of "Kung Fu". If "Kung Fu" becomes a hit after being released overseas, then "Kung Fu" may enter the top ten at the global box office in advance. "Steel Horn" has a higher investment and more careful filming than "Kung Fu".
", there is no reason why the box office should be worse than "Kung Fu"!"
At present, each of the top ten movies in global movie history starts with a box office of tens of billions. Even if it is the most popular movie "Kung Fu" at the box office during the Spring Festival, if it wants to enter the top ten in global movie history, it will require a lot of publicity and efforts. At least overseas
With a box office of 7 billion yuan, it has the chance to enter the top ten in global film history.
After the movie aired, countless merchants were waving banknotes and offering contracts worth millions to invite Yang Rong to sign. Most of them were well-known women's clothing, skin care products and other women's brand products.
The third and most important point is that "Kung Fu" is a comedy and it is released during the Spring Festival. As long as the filming quality is up to standard or up to standard, it will basically have a good box office number. What's more, "Kung Fu" is not
Generally excellent, even on a global scale, when it comes to comedy films alone, "Kung Fu" is definitely on the list.
The second thing is that this movie is released during the Spring Festival. The power of the Spring Festival is very noticeable around the world. During this time, only Chinese audiences are the only ones who flock to the cinema with hundreds of millions of viewers.
The highest box office record for a work under Xiang Yihua's name is Kung Fu, which has reached 6 billion yuan.
Although Han Sen's last movie "Kung Fu" is expected to reach a global box office of 6 billion, it was at the right time and place. First of all, "Kung Fu" is Han Sen's first movie, and fans around the world will support it.
, no matter how bad the filming is, countless people will support it without thinking.
This is almost like putting the entire crew on a stove.
With an investment of less than 150 million yuan, it achieved a box office of about 6 billion. This is definitely one of the classic cases of low-cost and high box office in film history.
It was as if this person had really explored the deep sea and lived in the Steel.
Among the movies released during this period, no one has a simple background, and there is countless capital behind them.
He quickly said: "Of course the higher the box office of a movie, the better. I believe that "Steel" will give a good answer to the Chinese film industry!"
It was this re-release that made "Mars" the highest-grossing film in global film history, with a total box office of 26 billion.
It is precisely because of the popularity of "Kung Fu" that Han Sen's second film has attracted much attention.
After Mr. Schippe passed away, in order to commemorate Mr. Schippe's contribution and example to China and even the world's film industry, various countries announced the re-release of "Mars", adding clips that had been edited out due to length.
In the movie, the plot of the movie is more complete, and the character creation and story have reached their climax.
Nowadays, when Han Sen participates in a movie, his salary is almost unlimited. There are even rumors that Han Sen is wanted to participate in the filming of the movie. In addition to the necessary role of the male protagonist, Han Sen also needs to participate in the movie box office.
of commission.
"Director Xu, as the director of this movie, don't you have confidence in the future box office of "Steel"?"
Of course, an investment of 150 million yuan is no longer considered a low cost. After all, the investment in many movies does not reach 100 million, but compared to a box office of 6 billion, a box office of 150 million is an absolute low cost.
Other actors have also been favored by capital to varying degrees.
Before leaving, Xu Weizhou asked Tang Wu seriously.
"My expectations for this movie? It may be a bit exaggerated to say it. I think the future box office of this movie will definitely be among the top ten in global film history." Tang Wu said with a smile.
This box office figure is astonishing, making "Mars" the box office champion in global film history. To this day, no film can beat it.
The script of "Mars" is derived from Mr. Schönberg's novel of the same name. The film took only two years from filming to completion to release. It has successively broken film history records and ranked among the top ten box office in global film history. However,
It only took two months.
Every day on major social networking sites and forums, people are talking about "Kung Fu" and the actors in it. Among them, the one whose net worth and popularity have skyrocketed the fastest and most is Yang Rong, a teacher at the Beijing Institute of Physical Education.
Even Xu Weizhou himself dare not even think about whether he can beat the box office of "Mars". Among Chinese directors of his generation, the late director Shi Kepei is a pioneer and a role model.
"Yes, Director Xu, I also think that the box office of "Steel" will reach the top ten in global film history!"
Then, after hastily answering a few questions, the press conference ended.
Even after the press conference, Xu Weizhou's heart was beating rapidly, but Tang Wu's touching scene at the press conference left Xu Weizhou with a long aftertaste.
Seeing everyone at the press conference in shock and in an uproar, Xu Weizhou coughed and quickly turned the tide: "Actually, there is no need to set such a high goal..."
"I think so too!"
To this day, Yang Rong can no longer easily appear in the school. Every time she appears, it will inevitably attract the attention of students and cause congestion on the campus. Even Yang Rong herself did not expect that the role she decided to play as a guest star would actually make her popular.
Whole network.
And now Tang Wu casually said that "Steel Horn" can break into the top ten in global film history. Not to mention the reporters were extremely surprised, even Xu Weizhou himself was shocked. He had thought about being a box office hit, but he never thought about it.
degree.
Tang Wu smiled and said: "Maybe it's intuition."
At that moment, Tang Wu's affection for Han Sen quickly accumulated and was about to overflow.
One reporter after another hurriedly expressed their position, as if to solidify this sentence, Xu Weizhou's face turned green when he heard it.
This only counts domestic box office.
What's even more outrageous is Han Sen's net worth.
"Tang Wu predicts that this movie will reach the top ten at the box office. As far as I know, the movie currently ranked tenth at the global box office is the American animated film "The Story of the Lion King", with a total global box office of 123.
billion RMB, and the total production cost of this animated film is approximately RMB 1.5 billion."
As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.
Speaking of this, she remembered the conversation she had with Han Sen in the cafe that day. When Han Sen was talking about characters and movies, his whole expression was focused and serious, as if he was narrating something that had already happened.
I have really seen the characters.
There are precedents in the industry for actors to participate in box office sharing, but it is basically two to three percentage points. Examples like Han Sen's direct taking of 20% are very rare.
Her pure appearance, pitiful eyes, graceful figure, and milky skin have made Yang Rong the goddess in the eyes of all viewers in recent times.
When it comes to the fastest rise in net worth, popularity, and strength, it is director Xiang Yihua and leading actor Han Sen.
The commission is about 20% of the box office share, which means you only get 20%.
Since the Spring Festival, countless people have been discussing the movie "Steel Horn" because the investment in this movie exceeds 500 million. It was also revealed that this movie was already planned before "Kung Fu" and it is rumored that it is being filmed.
Due to lack of funds, Han Sen had no choice but to film "Kung Fu" to raise money for the filming of "Steel".
"If an actor can have such a sense of belief, he will succeed no matter what he does."
But Xu Weizhou never expected that Tang Wu would actually estimate the final box office figure of this movie to be in the top ten at the global box office.
Xu Weizhou broke into pure sweat.
However, it is a pity that Mr. Schwartz announced his death due to illness after he was over 70 years old and four years after the release of the movie "Mars".
For Xiang Yihua's next movie, it is rumored that a sponsor has offered a salary of 100 million to invite Xiang Yihua to direct a comedy. This is really outrageous.
"Do you really think the "Steel" movie will reach the top ten at the global film and television box office?"
"If "Steel" wants to reach the top ten at the box office, it must have at least a global box office of around 13 billion to be eligible to step into the top ten at the global box office."
Such a clamor has caused the anticipation and attention for "Steel" to reach an all-time high.
Xu Weizhou originally thought that Tang Wu's answer would be reasonable and well-founded, but who knew it was so unreliable that he relied on intuition?
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and his heart was already under a lot of pressure.
So in the following days, before the crew started filming, Xu Weizhou was already rehearsing on the set in advance, hoping to shoot a shocking scene on the first day of filming.
On that day, tens of thousands of people will gather at the port to welcome the "miracle in the history of world industry" - the maiden voyage of the Steel.
