Just when everyone was eagerly waiting for the battle between [Big Shot] and [Wind Talker], a big news suddenly broke out. Brother Huayi sent out a message at 9 o'clock, and the meeting will be held at 11:30 in the morning.
The premiere was held at the Hongqi Cinema. [Big Name] was released one day in advance. All media colleagues are welcome to attend.
All the major media had such news, and almost everyone was dumbfounded. What the Huayi brothers did was really clever. It just gave people the feeling of conspiracy and conspiracy.
.
Lao Bai took a look at the news. At this time, he and Yu Guo were having breakfast together. They were used to the bean juice and fried dough sticks. At this time, although the two of them were not short of money, their breakfast habits had not changed.
At this moment, Lao Bai put down the bean juice and said: "Yu Guo, forget it, go there right away, otherwise you will be in trouble when you can't find a suitable venue. This matter is not like Feng Xiaogang's style, he will not do it like this.
"
Small steel cannons are usually straightforward, which means they don't play so many tricks. Therefore, in a situation like this, Lao Bai recognized at a glance that this was not Feng Xiaogang's handiwork.
Yu Guo slapped five yuan on the table, holding the camera and said: "This is definitely not Feng Xiaogang's handiwork. Don't forget that [big name] Ye Ming took over. Dong Ping of Poly Huayi withdrew the funds. At this time, Ye Ming
Ming took advantage of the opportunity and got an opportunity like this. This was Ye Ming's method. Moreover, Hong※＄, w▼ww. Flag Cinema was originally part of Ye Ming's Huihuang Cinema, and was later merged into
The New Film Alliance, this is Ye Ming’s base, if Ye Ming arranged it, this matter would become very simple.”
Although for a movie, it is not a big deal if it is to be released in advance. At least, if the media is notified and the audience is informed in advance, then it is not a big deal.
But another key point is how the cinema schedules are arranged. You can communicate well with the theater chain. This is the key, but here, Ye Ming's own cinema does not have this problem.
What's more, Feng Xiaogang also said that it will be released in the near future. Facing a great director like Feng Xiaogang, everyone will give it a day or two in advance. Otherwise, do you still want the next Feng Xiaogang movie?
After coordinating the theater matters, Feng Xiaogang and the crew are already waiting for the media at the Red Flag Cinema.
The main actor of the movie, Wang Zhongjun, and the investor Ye Ming, all appeared at the press conference.
This time, Feng Xiaogang was very direct and saw that most of the media came. Feng Xiaogang's own influence is already quite powerful, plus the two leading actors Ge You and Guan Zhilin, and now there is also Ye Ming to help
came in. Therefore, such a lineup is quite eye-catching, and no media that received the news was reluctant to come.
Feng Xiaogang looked at everyone and said: "As for this matter, the movie was released ahead of schedule, which caught everyone off guard. It's because we did something wrong and we should have informed everyone in advance. I won't say much else. If you have any questions, just ask them directly.
Just ask, I will tell you everything I know about this movie today. If you ask me how much money I have saved, I won’t tell you because I don’t know either. You have to ask Teacher Xu.”
Amid everyone's laughter, this press conference began. Yamamoto, a reporter from Japan's Asahi Shimbun, was the first to stand up and said: "Director Feng, the news I got is that you were originally to premiere with [Wind Talker] tomorrow.
It was released, and now it is premiering in advance, does it mean that it avoids the limelight of "Windtalker", and is afraid that it will be compared to "Windtalker" if it is released together with "Windtalker"."
This foreigner just doesn't know how to be polite. Even if a Chinese reporter thinks like this, he will never ask the question so directly. At least, he should ask the question tactfully. Otherwise, it will be a slap in the face.
Okay, what a slap in the face to Chi Guoguo.
But the Japanese reporter asked the question so politely.
The reporters in the audience were a little worried at this moment. This was clearly saying that Feng Xiaogang's movie was not as good as Wu Yusen's. Although this was true in terms of cast and investment, but he asked this in front of Feng Xiaogang, this Yamamoto
But the first one, [Asahi Shimbun] also has a relatively transcendent status in Japan, so the mentality of their reporters is also quite good.
Feng Xiaogang glanced at Ye Ming. Ye Ming had long expected that a reporter would ask this question. At this moment, it was actually the first reporter to ask this question.
Feng Xiaogang thought to himself, Ye Zi is indeed an extraordinary person. This is not something ordinary people can do.
Just when everyone thought that Feng Xiaogang would be embarrassed, Xiaogangpao said very relaxedly: "I think, whether you are afraid or not, there is nothing to hide. How much does it cost to film a masterpiece directed by Wu Yusen? One hundred million.
Twenty million US dollars, I can say that if the box office of my movie could be half of someone else's production cost, I would be laughing.
[Wind Whisperer]’s stage is all over the world, and our [big names]’s stage is China. If it is a little bigger, it means that it is only some countries in Southeast Asia. There is no comparison at all. We and [Wind Whisperer]
】What to do?
It can be said that our box office is 200-300 million yuan, which is considered very successful.
But if the box office of Wind Talker has two to three billion Chinese dollars, then I think director Wu Yusen should find a place to cry. Therefore, our two movies are not comparable in the first place. Even if I say I am afraid of the wind
If the Whisperer will rob the box office of [big names], then what's the big deal? I'm just afraid. I don't feel ashamed at all. What reason do I have to go head-to-head with someone who has a movie worth more than 100 million US dollars?"
Feng Xiaogang's words like this made the reporters present feel thunderous. If Feng Xiaogang carried forward the style of small steel cannons, he would be belittling Wu Yusen at this moment, belittle the Whisperer, and look down on big Hollywood productions.
This is in line with what everyone thinks of Feng Xiaogang’s personal style.
However, Feng Xiaogang was very straightforward this time, saying directly that I am just scared and what can you do to me.
Moreover, Feng Xiaogang is not unreasonable. People have made it very clear. A big name's box office is a huge success if it has a box office of 2 to 3 billion. But if Wind Talker has a box office of 2 to 3 billion, Wu Yusen should really find a place to cry.
went.
No matter how cunning the reporter is, he can't find anything wrong with this answer.
Feng Xiaogang's move went too far, which made Yamamoto helplessly say: "I didn't expect Director Feng to have such a wonderful answer. I admire Director Feng's broadmindedness."
Everyone admitted that they were scared, so Yamamoto naturally would not continue to ask questions reluctantly.
As the biggest bomb at this press conference, it didn't explode at all, which made all the reporters feel the strong smell of gunpowder.
In particular, domestic reporters all felt that when did Feng Xiaogang become so cunning? Generally speaking, with a character like Feng Xiaogang's, it is his style to take the initiative to stir up trouble.
Everyone was originally thinking about what big news it would be, but then Coppola's appearance was definitely a shocking scene.
Even none of the reporters asked Coppola, Corvo's powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire hall.
Santa Claus Coppola said with a smile: "We all make movies. Just make the audience happy. No matter what they do at any cost, it is not uncommon in Hollywood for an investment of more than 100 million to be wasted."
, a box office dark horse produced with a cost of one to two million. It’s not like I haven’t encountered it before. As a director, you just have to make movies with your conscience, and don’t worry about what other people say.”
The last idiom Coppola said in Chinese. Moreover, it was stated that Ye Ming told him this idiom, and he did not know what it meant.
After saying this, Coppola walked away without giving any face to the reporter, and he also had the right to not give any face to the reporter.
The following press conference was only ten minutes long. It was a very brief press conference, that is, asking Guan Zhilin about his feelings about the shooting. As a star who is used to seeing troubles, Guan Zhilin’s answer
There is no leakage. As for Uncle Ge, as long as it is said that Uncle Ge doesn’t want to talk, no one can ask any more questions.
Finally, Lao Bai asked about the box office. Wang Zhongjun answered more low-key, as long as the audience likes it, two to three hundred million is not a problem. If everyone supports it wholeheartedly, I can take over more.
This is no different from not saying anything and just kicking the ball to the audience.
Everyone knows this very well. If it is related to the box office at this time, Wind Talker will take a large part of the cake. This is absolutely certain.
Therefore, it would be inappropriate for Wang Zhongjun to say too little at this time, which would weaken his prestige, but if he said too much, even Wang Zhongjun himself would feel untrustworthy when facing such a powerful opponent as [Wind Whisperer]. Therefore,
Just tell the audience whether they support it or not.
No matter how big the box office is at that time, Wang Zhongjun will be able to advance and retreat as well as defend. I have to say that the works directed by Feng Xiaogang are still quite attractive. According to incomplete statistics, by the time it is completed, the country's box office will already have three
It’s over one million, but it’s not yet a prime show. If you include the evening box office, the revenue on the first day is still quite considerable.
Especially in such a situation, the reputation of the movie has already come out. Putting aside everything else, the appearance of Ye Ming is definitely a big easter egg, which is very surprising. Many people originally thought that Ye Ming was nothing more than
He was just an investor, but in the end, he brought so many surprises to everyone. Just after the first movie ended, Ye Ming’s hilarious joke was posted online.
Everyone discussed it.
Although few people will find out who posted it online, it was actually Sister Fang who changed her vest and posted the full version of the joke. This is a means of hype.
The audience will not care about the water being distributed. What everyone wants is an object of ridicule, especially slogans that ridicule real estate. Our goal in real estate is to only make the most expensive and not to do well. That is simply unforgettable.
It’s still new. Anyway, after meeting many movie fans, they said that our slogan is to only make the most expensive, not the best.
The movie's reputation is actually accumulated bit by bit like this. [Big Name] has to say that it's off to a good start.
