Chapter 978: Refusing to continue to laugh, 'Inception' premieres
The live broadcast lasted for more than an hour and 40 minutes, and the number of viewers reached more than 80 million. If there had been publicity in advance, it is estimated that the number of viewers would have exceeded 100 million.
Many people were like Doubi Chao, because they had not thought of it in advance and had no time to participate when they received the news. Afterward, they beat their chests in frustration and left messages under Wu Hu’s Weibo, hoping that he could take some time to hold more live broadcasts.
And notify them before the live broadcast so that they can take time to participate.
Wu Hu naturally turned a blind eye to this appeal. After all, he didn't know when his next live broadcast would be. Under normal circumstances, he didn't really want to live broadcast.
Although the live broadcast will bring him good popularity, the questions from netizens are much weirder and more cunning than those from entertainment reporters, and sometimes they even include curse words.
In tonight's live broadcast, although everyone looked happy on the surface, that was because Wu Hu ignored some abusive comments.
Although being a star is like being funny, you can't take yourself too seriously. If you take yourself too seriously, you will lose the spirit of entertainment. But if you do a live broadcast, you can basically just laugh throughout the whole process, and even talk.
You have to be careful, lest you accidentally say something like, 'Have you ever reflected on yourselves in these years?'
He can also put on a show with entertainment reporters. He can even throw a tantrum at some rude questions and warn the other party not to be shameless.
But facing fans directly, he definitely can't do this.
Moreover, he himself is not an aloof person. When broadcasting live, if he acts aloof, puts on airs, and only performs his tricks during the live broadcast, it is better to stay away from him, as it will not match other people's settings.
Moreover, in the eyes of many fans, live broadcasting is too expensive. Which celebrity would often broadcast live? Not to mention a top international superstar like Wu Hu.
Therefore, when it comes to live broadcasting, it’s natural not to do it if you can. It’s important to maintain your style.
But Wu Hu’s fans and viewers don’t think so. After all, when Wu Hu starts a live broadcast, he can be asked to write songs on the spot. Look, there are two new songs released tonight.
If there is one show every week, then eight songs can be produced in a month. Even if there is only one song per show, there are still four songs! If we don't squeeze him dry, can we live up to everyone's enthusiasm?
Not long after Wu Hu went off the air, the two new songs he sang appeared on the Douyin platform, which were live broadcast clips recorded by some fans.
Although there is no complicated arrangement, only a simple guitar playing and singing version, fans still enjoy listening to it.
Then everyone discovered that although the audience rated the song "Blooming Flowers of Parting" higher, it seemed that the song "Drowning" was more likely to get people hooked.
Moreover, the lyrics are simple and many people can sing it almost as soon as they hear it.
Some people who have been emotionally hurt like this song very much, and some even more talented musicians have directly reproduced their own versions.
But there are relatively few people who have reproduced this version of "Parting Flowers".
Not long after leaving the live broadcast, Yahuazi knocked on the door and asked him to make a midnight snack for everyone.
Wu Hu really wanted to say that I am an international superstar, but after seeing Yahuazi’s bright and flashing eyes, he had no choice but to stand up obediently, then hold him over and take a bite first.
…
After that day, Wu Hu and Zhan Langjing occasionally appeared on some programs and accepted some interviews to promote "Inception".
Until December 20th, New World Media held the premiere of "Inception" in Beijing, with all the main creators in place, including Tom Hardy, Siegel and others.
Even David Wei and Zhao Niefeng, who were acting as sidekicks, also attended.
In addition to these main creative stars, there are also some celebrities who choose to come to support them, such as Doubi Chao and his wife, Chef Huang and his wife, Baldy Xu and his wife, Huang Boning Hao, etc. Even Mr. Fan came to them with a big black cow.
A show of affection.
Of course, there is also Guan Gege who is planning to bring classmate Xiaolu over to make Wu Hu angry.
It's a pity that he didn't make Wu Hu angry, but he made himself very angry, because next to Wu Hu stood Yahuazi and Mina. They were so beautiful that Guan Gege couldn't touch her at all.
In terms of beauty and beauty, Yahuazi is completely superior to her. In terms of tallness, Mina is not inferior to her at all, and Mina's body is more exotic.
As for Mingyan, Mina is still very capable in the industry.
If nothing else is concerned, just looking at appearance, Mina is not even afraid of Yahuako. It’s just that Mina doesn’t have the fairy spirit in Yahuako.
When she was looking for classmate Xiaolu next to her, when she saw Wu Hu, she bowed directly and called "Brother Hu", completely acting like a younger brother.
Why is this so annoying?
I can't be angry with anyone, I can only be angry with myself.
However, Wu Hu had no time to pay attention to the little sister and quickly greeted the others.
The people in charge of the investment companies involved in this drama also came to support it. After all, the investment was so large, it was time to test the results.
If "Inception" turns out to be like Tuo Xiang and eventually flops, then they have to consider investing in Wandering Broken Ball. Although the investment amount has been paid, they can transfer those investment shares to other people.
Someone else will take over.
But everyone is not too worried, because Wu Hu's past performance is not that he is good at making bad movies. Although he is not the director, he is the screenwriter and he is also the starring actor.
In addition to these people, Lao Ma and the Kung Fu Emperor also came to support him.
Lao Ma also congratulated him for retaining the title of the richest man this year. At the same time, he lamented that Lao Xu from a large group was so amazing that he almost caught up with him, Wu Hu.
However, it can be seen from the smile on his face that this guy's compliments to Lao Xu are somewhat entertaining.
Obviously, Lao Ma seems to look down on an upstart like Lao Xu.
Wu Hu could understand Lao Ma's thoughts to some extent. After all, what Lao Xu did had no technical content at all, unlike technology companies like them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, Wu Hu also looks down on those who engage in real estate. After all, the technical content of that thing is indeed not high. He did not have this qualification before, but now he has it.
But besides being the richest man, he was also a star, so he couldn't mock others in public, so he started a haha fight with Lao Ma. He didn't agree with Lao Ma's boast, but looked directly at the person who came in behind him, and then looked at the two of them.
He apologized and went over to greet him.
"What kind of wind brings you here!" Wu Hu joked towards the sitting mountain eagle.
After all, this mountain eagle has already taken a back seat and handed over the affairs of Zhongying to his successor a long time ago. His successor is also here tonight, but he didn't expect him to be here too.
Although he has taken a back seat, many people still greeted him warmly when he showed up.
While waving to the others, Sitting Mountain Eagle smiled at Wu Hu and said, "This movie of yours has been talked about for many years, and it's just coming out now. If I don't come and watch it, I won't be able to sleep."
Indeed, the story of "Inception" has been in existence since his debut in 2010, but because the investment was too large, it could only be shelved at that time.
In fact, this is only part of the reason. The other big reason is that the flower grower's ticket bank was not big enough at that time, and his international reputation was not big enough, so he did not want to waste such a script. As a result, it was delayed again and again, and it was immediately
It was postponed until last year.
When this movie was first mentioned, Sitting Mountain Sculpture also knew about it.
However, because it has been delayed for so many years, when the filming of "Inception" started last year, there were already two movies with huge investment on the flower grower's side.
One of them is "The Legend of the Cat", which is also scheduled to be released on Christmas this year. The investment in this movie is said to be close to ten small targets.
Although Director Chen built a Tang Dynasty in Jingzhou and spent a large part of the investment on it, there was no problem with the investment in ten small goals announced to the outside world.
They just held the premiere yesterday, but Wu Hu was not among the invitees, so I don't know what the difference is with the "Cat Demon" from another time and space.
But from the perspective of time and space inertia, there shouldn't be much difference, because Wu Hu, an outlier, did not participate in this movie, so it will not have any impact on him.
Therefore, the box office of this movie is estimated to be similar to that of another time and space. The box office results of the six small targets will not pose any threat to "Inception".
At least Wu Hu feels that this box office result will not pose a threat to himself.
However, the outside world does not see it that way. Many people regard these two blockbusters with similar investment as strong rivals and feel that there will be a fierce battle between the two during this year's Christmas and New Year movies.
When faced with inquiries from entertainment journalists, Director Chen did not brag about the comparison. He only said that these are two movies with different styles and themes. There is no comparison, and there will be no conflict between the movie-watching needs of the audience and fans.
, the impact should not be great.
In terms of movies, Director Chen would not just pretend to be in front of Wu Hu. He even scolded Fat Hu secretly in his heart for not following martial arts ethics. He had clearly agreed to release it during the Spring Festival, but he actually released it ahead of schedule.
, simply not a son of man.
From the bottom of his heart, Director Chen felt a little weak, but his words were still tough.
In fact, Wu Hu kind of hopes that Director Chen's mouth will be louder, so that he can stir up a wave of heat with Director Chen and step on him at the same time.
As for another movie, it's "The Great Wall" by Zhang Guoshi.
This is a co-production film, and it is announced that it has ten small investment goals.
However, compared to "The Great Wall", the money spent on special effects in "The Great Wall" is definitely much more, and the stars are also paid more.
Almost none of the leading actors in "The Legend of the Cat", including Huang Xuan and Zhang Yuqi, can be regarded as first-line superstars. But "The Great Wall" is different. Not only does it have Da Tiantian, but also Hua Zai brother Liu Tianwang, and even Hollywood's first-line Matt
Damon, especially this Hollywood actor, his salary alone is probably as much as the other actors combined.
In addition to these three, there are also handsome boy Peng Xiaobao, popular niche student Xiaolu, Lin Gengxin, Zheng Kai, and Cat Demon star Huang Xuan.
Just with this cast, "The Legend of the Cat" is completely defeated.
In comparison, "Inception" could only be beaten by "The Great Wall" in terms of cast if it were not for Wu Hu.
But the result is that the film's box office performance at the flower market was less than a dozen small goals. In North America, it only made less than 50 million US dollars.
The investment was 150 million US dollars, and the global box office was more than 320 million US dollars. When comparing the box office with the investment, it is obvious that this is a loss-making movie.
But again, movies that lose money at the box office do not necessarily lose money in practice, because they can make up for it in the stock market.
As for "Legend of the Cat", in another time and space, this movie was also a blockbuster movie in terms of box office, because the investment target was ten small, but the box office was only six small targets.
Judging from the box office, Na Chun Chun was such a loser that even grandma didn’t recognize her.
But because of this movie, Jingzhou gained a Tang Town, and this Tang Town became a tourism and filming base. It not only attracted a lot of tourists to Jingzhou, but also attracted some film crews to rent filming locations. From this aspect
Look, it's totally profitable.
This is also the reason why Director Chen always has trouble making movies, but people still come to him.
Of course, the current investment in these two movies has been outperformed by "Inception" because "Inception" invested in eleven small targets.
However, big investment doesn’t mean it’s a big deal; it only counts if the box office is high enough.
…
Not long after, the premiere started. Men Qing, who hurried back from the Oriental Film Capital, came on stage with Wu Hu and the other main creators, and Zhan Langjing's daughter-in-law, Sister Nan, became the host.
Seeing Zhan Lang Jing smirking at his wife, Wu Hu smiled and said: "Sister Nan, why don't you interview Brother Jing first? I think he can't help but want to show off his wife to everyone."
The audience in the audience couldn't help laughing when they heard Wu Hu teasing Zhan Langjing and Nan Jie. Everyone knows that Zhan Langjing is a maniac who dotes on his wife.
Sister Nan glanced at her husband and asked with a smile: "Pang Hu, you have been preparing for this drama for so many years, and now it has finally met the audience. Can you tell me how you feel now?"
"I'm naturally in an urgent mood. I've long been eager to share this story with my fans. But because the investment was too large and the flower growers didn't have enough money, the project has been delayed again and again. Now I finally share it with you.
We met."
"Aren't you nervous? You know, there is another blockbuster with equally huge investment competing with you!" Sister Nan asked.
Everyone knows which movie she is talking about. After all, "The Legend of the Cat" just had its premiere yesterday and will be released the day after tomorrow.
As for Wu Hu and his friends, this film will be released the day after tomorrow, one day late. If the other party has a good reputation, it will be somewhat detrimental to "Inception".
"That's not true. After all, as Director Chen said, the genres of our two films are different. His is Eastern fantasy, and mine is modern science fiction, so the audience base is different."
Although he did not regard "The Legend of the Cat Demon" as his opponent, naturally he could not say this idea in public, otherwise it would easily give people the feeling of being domineering and disrespectful to his predecessors.
Although many netizens are madly complaining about Director Chen and not taking him seriously, in the entertainment circle, this director's energy is still quite high.
If someone has a crooked mouth, there is no guarantee that someone with a big mouth will not jump out to stir up trouble.
If he speaks with facts, netizens will help him complain and disparage the other party.
