Chapter 595: The tension at the press conference (Daily update 12,000~)
The arrival of Wu Jianye and others also means that the press conference for the movie "The Last Love" has officially begun.
Before this, everyone's focus was on Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani. After all, matters other than this movie have never been disclosed by Phantom Entertainment, so even the media's knowledge is limited.
But when they saw the entire creative cast, they were still shocked, because the addition of Mel Gibson and Whoopi Goldberg added more excitement to the movie.
These reporters all knew about the previous dispute between Wu Jianye, Phantom Entertainment and Hollywood Jews. In order not to let the Jewish bosses in Hollywood hold grudges, many well-known Hollywood actors refused to accept "The Love of Ghosts".
"The invitation for the movie.
But now Mel Gibson, as a rising star in Hollywood, actually chose this movie, which naturally surprised many reporters.
At this time, Mel Gibson did not dare to express his views on Jews like later generations, so not many people knew his true inner thoughts.
But no matter what, the protagonist of today’s press conference is still Wu Jianye!
The entertainment industry is an extremely realistic place, and the Hollywood entertainment industry is the most realistic among them. Whoever is most famous is the one that everyone is most passionate about, regardless of how famous other people have been before, or their future development prospects.
No matter how good it is, they only look at the present.
So when the host announced the start of the press conference for "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts", the reporters at the scene immediately started raising their hands to ask questions.
The first one to be drawn was Variety, an entertainment magazine as famous as The Hollywood Reporter in Hollywood!
"Hello, Director Wu, this is Savannah from Variety. It was previously reported that Isabel Adjani has moved out of the hotel where you are staying. Does this mean that the relationship between you two is over?"
Savannah is a female reporter with a hot figure, and her blond hair looks very eye-catching.
Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani looked at each other and smiled, and then Wu Jianye replied: "At the Berlin Film Festival, I have already said that Isabel and I are very good friends, and there is nothing between us as you would say
Love!"
No matter how intimate the two of them were photographed by reporters at the airport, Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani are not in love anyway. As for their true relationship, Wu Jianye cannot really tell them, even if
The reporters have already guessed it, but it is impossible to actually report this kind of thing.
Either they are lovers or friends, it is absolutely impossible to have a relationship like that.
Savannah curled her lips slightly, obviously not satisfied with Wu Jianye's answer: "But based on the behavior of the two of you at the airport when you came to Hollywood, it is obvious that the relationship between you has gone beyond friends!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I'm sorry, today is the press conference of "The Love of Ghosts". We will talk about all the plots that have nothing to do with the movie later!"
The standard official answer left Savannah with nothing to do.
Then the person who stood up to ask questions was the Hollywood Reporter, who has the No. 1 title in Hollywood.
"Hello, Director Wu, this is Jedi from The Hollywood Reporter. We saw two outstanding actors, Mel Gibson and Whoopi Goldberg, in the starring cast. We would like to know how you finalized these two
Where’s the actor’s?”
Jedi is a young man with glasses, and he is also a white man. However, judging from his serious appearance, he does not look like an entertainment reporter but more like a news reporter.
"I believe Mel Gibson and Whoopi Goldberg are both outstanding actors, and outstanding actors obviously have very high requirements for the movie's script and the behind-the-scenes groups. Doesn't their choice to join this movie just mean that
Are they optimistic about this movie?" Wu Jianye said insinuatingly.
Almost all media reports in Hollywood before were unfavorable to this movie. Wu Jianye's words now are obviously to fight back against these reporters.
"Director Wu, we all know your achievements in Europe before this, but there are still certain differences between European movies and Hollywood movies. This time you have hired these outstanding actors, aren't you worried that this movie will become
Is it a stain on their acting career?" Jedi's question became more and more spicy.
Wu Jianye shook his head: "Without investigation, you have no right to speak. The filming of this movie has not started yet, and you are so unfavorable about this movie. Have you seen this movie somewhere?"
Regarding Wu Jianye's counterattack, the audience burst into laughter. Although they were not optimistic about the movie, they were still very happy to see Wu Jianye and the reporters from the "Hollywood Report" arguing here. They were criticized anyway.
Not myself.
Jedi's expression did not change at all: "Before this, there have been many such situations in Hollywood. We also inferred based on past history. Fortunately, we missed it before!"
Wu Jianye replied calmly: "Just because there were no mistakes before, doesn't mean there won't be mistakes next!"
Jedi: "I very much hope that when this movie is released, Director Wu, your confidence will still be with you!"
Wu Jianye: "I also hope that you can still interview us on behalf of The Hollywood Reporter at that time!"
Then the host stopped the conversation between Wu Jianye and Jedi and called another reporter.
"Hello, Director Wu, I am Schreck, a reporter from Vanity Fair. We all know that in addition to being a successful director in Europe and Asia, you are also an extremely outstanding musician. Before that, you
Even now, your album "Born Out of the Sky" is still on the sales charts in Europe and the United States. You are obviously more talented in music, so why did you choose the more difficult path of directing?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Music is just my personal hobby. I am very grateful to those who like me because of music, but what I want to say is that movies are also a fascinating art, and I like to create a world very much.
a feeling of!"
Schreck immediately asked: "Then can we understand that Director Wu, you are a person with a strong desire to control?"
Wu Jianye did not fall into the hole Schreck dug for him. He smiled and said: "It depends on how you understand the desire for control. Film is a group art and the director's art. I think even if
As a group art, the director should also be the leader of this group."
If Wu Jianye is the well-deserved super start of this press conference, then others will have to look at their own reputation to get many questions at this press conference, and this directly shows the reputation of these people.
.
The other two people who are asked the most questions are Isabelle Adjani and Mel Gibson.
Even actresses like Whoopi Goldberg, who have been nominated for Oscars, cannot compare with those two in terms of topic popularity. As for Tony Goldwyn, he is just a little transparent now. The only thing he has to do is sit here.
Just put a smile on your face.
Isabelle Adjani's character has never been liked by media reporters, and the battle between the two parties was full of gunpowder.
"Isabelle, are you worried about participating in the movie "The Last Days" that it will be a waterloo for your acting career?" Savannah asked.
Isabel Adjani calmly replied: "No!"
"Aren't you worried about Wu Jianye's ability to understand the North American market as a Chinese director?" Savannah continued to ask.
"No!" Isabel Adjani's answer was still so simple.
But Savannah obviously didn’t want to let Isabel Adjani go just like that, “Although Director Wu has always denied your previous relationship, according to the information we got, you stayed in the hotel where Director Wu lived since he came to Hollywood.
You just moved out a few days ago, and your relationship can be traced back to the Berlin Film Festival. You agreed to participate in this movie at that time, so can we understand that you were carried away by love at that time, and now
Is it because I have no choice but to participate in this movie because I have already signed a contract and cannot withdraw?"
Only at this moment did Isabel Adjani raise her eyelids and glance at Savannah, but her expression remained cold.
"I doubt your IQ to ask such a stupid question. I don't know how "Variety" recruited you!" Isabel Adjani answered the question with the most words this time.
As the questioner, Savannah's face changed slightly when she responded to Isabel Adjani's cynicism. When she wanted to refute, she was interrupted again by the host and called another reporter.
As for Mel Gibson's question, it was also based on the premise that he was not optimistic about the movie "The Last Days".
"Mel, your development in Hollywood is going very smoothly now, and "Lethal Weapon 2" will be released soon. Originally, you could have chosen an easier path, such as choosing to cooperate with a well-known Hollywood director, but now you have
I chose Wu Jianye's "The Love of Ghosts" because of the high salary offered by Phantom Entertainment?" Jedi's question was still so ruthless!
Mel Gibson is not a good person either. He sneered directly and said: "No matter which director's work I participate in, I will get my due salary. As for why I cooperated with Director Wu, I don't think a mortal like you will understand this question."
of!"
.......
It can be said that the entire press conference was held in such a gunpowder-filled atmosphere. You can imagine what the media will say when these reports come out tomorrow.
After the press conference, Wu Jianye and others walked backstage, while Tony Godwin, who had been trying to be a little transparent, walked among the crowd and looked at the big guys in front of him, feeling filled with emotion in his heart.
I'm really a strong person...
Thinking about the entire hour and a half of question time, no reporter asked him questions. Tony Godwin was still very disappointed. He also wanted to let his family see what he said at the press conference.
Mel Gibson walked next to Wu Jianye and said with a smile: "Director Wu, tomorrow is the premiere of "Lethal Weapon 2", and Warner's invitation letter has been sent to Phantom Entertainment!"
When there is a movie premiere in Hollywood, both the producer and the distributor will use their relationships to invite celebrities from all walks of life to attend the premiere, and it will be relatively formal and they will send each other a letter of invitation.
Wu Jianye had previously promised that Mel Gibson would attend the premiere of "Lethal Weapon 2". After returning home, he sent an invitation to Wu Jianye as the producer of this movie.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will be there on time."
Mel Gibson nodded and said to Isabel Adjani: "Isabel, why don't you come over with Director Wu tomorrow!"
The invitation letter allows you to bring your own partner.
At this time, Isabel Adjani no longer had the aloofness she had in the press conference before, and said with a smile: "It depends on what Director Wu wants!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "It's great to have beauty as my companion!"
Although the two no longer live together, their previous relationship has not ended directly. Now their relationship is more pure.
Mel Gibson smiled and said: "Well, the matter is settled!"
After a few people chatted for a while, Mel Gibson left Phantom Entertainment, and everyone else also left.
Only Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani were left.
Isabel Adjani looked at Wu Jianye with a smile and said, "Why don't you go to my place today?"
Wu Jianye naturally did not refuse such an invitation, "Okay, I'll tell Phantom first!"
Then Wu Jianye came to Linda's office. When Linda saw Wu Jianye, the sadness on her face was not concealed at all.
"What's going on?" Wu Jianye asked curiously.
"I asked you to hold a press conference, not to quarrel with reporters. It's fine now. Tomorrow, entertainment reports across the United States will probably blackmail you!" Linda said helplessly.
She already knew what had just been reported. Although she had already guessed that the press conference would not be very friendly, such a strong smell of gunpowder still made her very worried.
Wu Jianye said nonchalantly: "There is nothing to worry about. As long as the movie "The Love of Ghosts" remains popular, it will be fine. As for whether it is good or bad, I don't care about it now. Besides,
Even if we talk to them nicely, will they say this movie is good?"
Linda: "Although this is true, such reports will definitely affect some potential viewers."
"They will walk into the cinema after the movie is released!" After saying that, Wu Jianye waved his hand and said: "Okay, nothing happens, I'm leaving!"
After saying that, Wu Jianye left Linda's office coolly, and then followed Isabel Adjani back to her apartment.
By the next day, newspapers across the United States had already reported the contents of yesterday's press conference for "The Love of Ghosts"....
