Chapter 786: The aura of the great director
Just when everyone was waiting for the "big name" and "wind whisperer" to be a dragon fight, a big news suddenly broke out, Huayi Brothers sent a message at nine o'clock that the premiere will be held at Hongqi Cinema at half past eleven in the morning, and [big names] will be released one day in advance, and the majority of media colleagues are welcome to come and cheer.
The major media have such a sentence of news, almost everyone is dumbfounded, the Huayi brothers are really playing with a clever hand, it simply means that people have a taste of conspiracy and trickery that looks up to the mountains.
Lao Bai glanced at the news, at this time he was eating breakfast with Yu Guo, and he was used to dealing with bean juice fritters, at this time, although the two of them were not bad for money, but the habit of eating breakfast had not changed.
At this moment, Lao Bai put down the bean juice and said, "Yu Guo, forget it, go over immediately, otherwise it will be troublesome if you can't find a suitable place in the place." This thing is not like Feng Xiaogang's style, he will not do it like this. ”
The small steel cannon is generally straightforward, which simply means that it will not play so many hearts, therefore, in such a situation, Lao Bai can recognize it at a glance, this is not Feng Xiaogang's handiwork.
Yu Guo slapped five yuan on the table, carried the camera and said: "This is definitely not Feng Xiaogang's handwriting, don't forget that [big name] is Ye Ming's successor, Poly Huayi's Dong Ping withdrew the funds, at this time Ye Ming took advantage of the situation and got such an opportunity, this is Ye Ming's method, and Hongqi Cinema was originally part of Ye Ming's brilliant cinema, and it was later merged into the New Film Federation, this is Ye Ming's base, if Ye Ming arranges it, this matter becomes very simple. ”
Although for a movie, if it is to be released in advance, it is not a big deal. At the very least, if you notify the media and tell the audience in advance, then it's not a big deal.
But the key point is how the schedule of the cinema is arranged, and you can communicate well with the cinema chain. This is the key, but here, Ye Ming's own cinema does not have the problem of zài.
What's more, Feng Xiaogang also said that it will be released in the near future, in the face of a big director like Feng Xiaogang, a day or two in advance, everyone will give this face, otherwise you still want the next Feng Xiaogang movie.
After coordinating the affairs of the theater chain, Feng Xiaogang and the crew are already waiting for the media at the Hongqi Cinema.
The main cast of the film. Wang Zhongjun and Ye Ming, an investor, 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 strong, plus Ge You and Guan Zhilin, and now there is a Ye Ming mixed in. Therefore, such a lineup. It's still quite eye-catching, and none of the media who receive the news can't afford it.
Feng Xiaogang looked at everyone and said: "What about this matter, the movie was released ahead of schedule, which caught everyone off guard, and we did something not in place, so we should have notified everyone in advance." Don't say anything else, if there are any questions, everyone just asks, about this movie, I know everything today. There is no end to the words. If you ask me how much money I have saved, I won't tell you, because I don't know, so I have to ask Mr. Xu. ”
In the laughter of everyone, this press conference began, and 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 originally premiered with [Wind Whisperer] tomorrow, and now it will premiere in advance, does it mean that you avoid the limelight of [Wind Whisperer], and you are afraid that you will be compared to the wind talker when you release it together." ”
This foreigner just doesn't know how to be polite, and the reporter from Huaxia, even if he thinks like this, he will never ask so directly, at least, he should ask this question tactfully. Otherwise, it's a slap in the face, a slap in the face of Chiguoguo.
But the Japanese reporter asked so unceremoniously.
At this moment, the reporters in the audience are a little worried, this is clearly saying that Feng Xiaogang's movies are not as good as Wu Yusen, although it is the same in terms of cast and investment, but in front of Feng Xiaogang, this Yamamoto is the first, and [Asahi Shimbun] is also relatively detached in Japan, so their reporter's mentality is also quite good.
Feng Xiaogang glanced at Ye Ming, Ye Ming had long thought that a reporter would ask this question. At this moment, it was the first reporter to ask like this.
Feng Xiaogang thought to himself, Ye Zi, this guy is really not a simple person, this thing is not something that ordinary people can do.
Just when everyone thought that Feng Xiaogang would have a black face, Xiao Gang Cannon said very easily: "I think, if you are afraid or not, there is nothing to hide, Director Wu Yusen's masterpiece, how much does it cost people, 120 million US dollars, I can say that the box office of my movie, if it can be half of the cost of making Zuò by someone's family, I should snicker."
The stage of [Wind Whisperer] is all over the world, and the stage of our [Big Names] is Huaxia, if it is a little bigger, that means that there are only some countries in Southeast Asia, which is not comparable at all, what do we do to compete with [Wind Whisperer].
It can be said that our box office has two or three hundred million, which is very successful.
But if the box office of the Wind Whisperer has two or three hundred million Chinese coins, then I think director Wu Yusen should be looking for a place to cry. Therefore, there is no comparison between our two movies, even if I say that I am afraid that the wind talker will snatch the box office of [big names], then what's the big deal, I'm just afraid, I don't feel ashamed at all, people have a movie of more than 100 million US dollars, what reason do I have to fight with others?"
Feng Xiaogang's words made the reporters present feel that the sky was rolling, if it was to say that Feng Xiaogang carried forward the style of small steel cannons, at this moment he belittled Wu Yusen, belittled the wind talkers, and looked down on Hollywood's big productions, which is in line with Feng Xiaogang's personal style in everyone's minds.
However, Feng Xiaogang was very simple at this time, and directly said that I was afraid, what can you do to me.
Moreover, Feng Xiaogang is not unreasonable, people say it very clearly. A big name with a box office of two or three hundred million is a huge success, but if the wind whisperer has a box office of two or three hundred million, Wu Yusen should really find a place to cry.
Even the most cunning reporter can't find anything wrong with such an answer.
Feng Xiaogang's sword went off the rails, which made Yamamoto also very helpless and said: "This, I didn't expect Director Feng to have such a wonderful answer." I admire Director Feng's mind. ”
Everyone admits that they are scared, and Yamamoto naturally will not continue to ask unrelentingly.
As the biggest bomb at this press conference, it didn't explode at all, which made all the reporters feel a strong smell of gunpowder.
Especially those reporters in China, they all feel that when did Feng Xiaogang become so cunning. Generally speaking, Feng Xiaogang's personality is his style, and taking the initiative to provoke trouble is his style.
Originally, everyone wanted to ask about some big news, but then Coppola appeared. It's definitely a shocking scene.
Even, all the reporters didn't ask Coppola questions, and Lao Ko's powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire hall.
Santa Coppola said with a smile: "Everyone makes movies, just make the audience happy to watch, no matter what he does at a cost, it is not uncommon for more than 100 million investments to be wasted in Hollywood, and the cost of one or two million is a dark horse at the box office." It's not like I've never encountered it. As a director, you can film with your conscience, don't care about what others have to say. ”
The last idiom, Coppola is spoken in Chinese. And the statement is Ye Mingsu's idiom, and he doesn't know what it means.
After saying that, Coppola flashed, and he didn't give reporters face at all, and he also had the qualifications not to give reporters face.
The next press conference was only ten minutes, a very short press conference, that is, to ask Guan Zhilin about his feelings about this shooting. As a star who is accustomed to seeing wind and waves, Guan Zhilin's answer is not leaky, as for Uncle Ge, as long as Uncle Ge doesn't want to say it, no one can ask any more topics.
And in the end, Lao Bai asked a question about the box office. Wang Zhongjun replied more low-key, as long as the audience likes it, two or three hundred million will not be a problem, if everyone supports it with all their hearts, I can take over more.
It's no different from not saying anything, just kicking the ball to the audience.
Everyone knows this very well, at this time, if it is related to the box office, the wind whisperer will take a large part of the cake, which is simply certain.
Therefore, at this time, Wang Zhongjun said too little, it was inappropriate, and it weakened his prestige, but if he said too much, this opponent who faced such a powerful [Wind Whisperer], even Wang Zhongjun himself felt that it was not credible. Therefore, it is okay to directly say that the audience supports it or not.
At that time, no matter how much the box office is, Wang Zhongjun's side can also be attacked, retreated, and defended. I have to say that director Feng Xiaogang's works are still quite attractive, incomplete statistics, by the time it is perfect, the national box office has already reached more than three million, which has not yet reached the prime time, if you add the night box office, the income on the first day is still quite considerable.
Especially in such a situation, the reputation of the movie has come out, not to mention anything else, Ye Ming's appearance is definitely a big easter egg, which is very surprising, many people thought that Ye Ming was just an investor, but in the end, it also brought so many surprises to everyone, after the first movie just ended, Ye Ming's hilarious ridicule was directly posted on the Internet for everyone to discuss.
Although few people will be interested in who posted it on the Internet, in fact, it was Sister Fang Fang who changed her waistcoat and posted the full version of the ridicule, which is a means of hype.
The audience won't care about the water, what everyone wants is an object of ridicule, especially the slogan of ridiculing real estate, our real estate goal is to only do the most expensive, not to do a good job, that is simply memorable, anyway, after many fans meet, our slogan is to only do the most expensive, not the best.
The reputation of the movie has actually been accumulated little by little in this way, and [Big Names] has to be said to have made a good start. (To be continued......)
