Chapter 411: The Expected Box Office is High
Lucas also said something at this time, and learned about it with his friends, and then thought about it and said: "The Huaxia film and television market, at present, is in its infancy, and my understanding is not very profound, but my friend Wude and Ms. Ai Qiuhua both recommended me to choose Ye Ming, a very interesting young man." ”
The mustache obviously won't give up so lightly, and sitting with Lucas are Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, two international directors in China. But now it seems that Lucas has no face at all, which makes the two directors Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige very faceless.
Zhang Yimou is okay to say, this person is the kind of honest expression, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a cunning person, and he is very good at hiding his true thoughts in his heart.
But Chen Kaige's face was not very good-looking at this time. Under such a circumstance, his face suddenly became a little pale and pale, like autumn frost. At this time, the mustache added to the fire and said: "Director Lucas, do you mean that now, Ye Ming can be your partner?"
At this time, Lucas said bluntly: "No, no, no, you can't say that, although Chinese films have developed very rapidly in the past two years, there is still a slight difference from the world level, and the Ye Ming I am talking about is very good and potential, what is the biggest reliance of a director, do you know?"
At this time, I didn't expect that Director Lucas, who has always been strict, would actually say that he would ask reporters. In fact, there are not many people who are qualified to answer this question, or directors like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, who rely on the culture of their own nation and begin to go to the world, are qualified to answer the question. Not that a reporter from a small newspaper could answer.
And at such a time, the mustache's skin is not ordinarily thick. Smiled and taxed: "This, I really don't know yet." What I know is that if we journalists want to be in this industry, we need to have good journalism."
Lucas nodded and said, "Almost, that's pretty much what it means." Actually, a journalist. An actor, or even a director. What they really matter is the work, the work is king, and it is enough to let others see your work and let others recognize your work. Lucas is actually a typical example of this. In such a situation, everyone really understands and respects Lucas, starting from [Star Wars]. It is precisely because of this sci-fi movie that Lucas has become the godfather of sci-fi movies. That's the importance of the work. So, in fact, in this way, Lucas is more qualified than anyone else to say such things.
Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Lucas said with a smile: "What I said about Ye Ming has potential, that's because Ye Ming signed [Harry Potter] early, and Ye Ming is the copyright owner of Harry Potter, so what can really be explained from such a point is that his vision is better than that of us old guys." I don't think any of you here have any objection to that, right?"
After Lucas's question, in fact, there are really no people who look like to question it. The Harry Potter novel has taken the world by storm. There is no doubt about it.
Lucas continued: "This is the importance of vision, and I heard that no one wanted to publish this novel by Ms. Rowling at first, but who would have thought. This [Harry Potter] will form such a storm. As a director, vision is obviously very important, as long as you can find good works and shoot classics, it will happen sooner or later. ”
This is a result that others never expected, and such a result is a test of vision, and Lucas has no room for refutation. Even Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige have nothing to say.
At this time, it is natural to say that someone has to break this embarrassing situation. The reporter from Tianchaotai stood up and said, "Director Lucas, do you have any expectations for the box office this time?"
This dish is a real movie premiere on Myanmar a problem. Box office, that is always the one thing everyone cares about the most. According to the status of Lucas. In fact, at this time, it is not a problem to say tens of millions or something.
But at this time, Lucas knew what the outcome of such a thing would be.
At the moment, Lucas smiled and said: "Box office." How much can there be, the more the merrier. On this issue, I think any director has the same idea as me. We directors, first of all, you have to know what you want to do, you shoot movies for the audience, at least let the audience like your movies. And the box office is the vote that the audience gives to the director. This time, I hope to have a start, and when the time comes, I will also find an opportunity to synchronize the last two parts of the Star Wars prequel in Huaxia. ”
How much box office his movie has, in such a situation, it is really hard to say, even Lucas dare not say how much his movie box office is.
And in such a situation, Lucas seems to be saying that he will not deal with domestic reporters very well.
Therefore, at this moment, Chairman Liu took over the topic and said: "I think, Director Lucas is very modest. As the chairman of the New Film Association, I know very well in my heart that in this case, we will present a different visual feast to everyone. box office, let's strive for better results, to be specific, twenty or thirty million I think it's just a start. ”
At this time, Chairman Liu obviously set a very strong goal for himself, twenty or thirty million, at this time, in fact, for [Star Wars: Phantom Crisis], twenty or thirty million Huaxia yuan is not much, but Ye Ming listened very clearly, twenty or thirty million, which originally seemed to be a bit ridiculous box office for reporters, but for Star Wars, it was not a big deal at all.
It seems that at this time, Lao Bai is always indispensable, and he has no chance to ask Lucas, but it doesn't matter, I asked Chairman Liu early, which is also a very good thing. I wonder if I'm better off and get the opportunity to interview Lucas. In fact, when it comes to this premiere or something, the reporter's questions are generally agreed in advance, which reporter can get the opportunity to ask questions, and what questions the reporter will ask when he stands up, which are all discussed in advance.
Therefore, don't look at the questions that seem to be disorganized, but in fact, they are all in order. And this old white didn't get the opportunity to ask Lucas, so he was a little unwilling and wanted to show the camera.
Therefore, at this time, Lao Bai said with a smile: "Liu Dong, what we audience friends want to know is that in the face of such a science fiction masterpiece, will our audience have the opportunity to see the movie when they get to the cinema."
Don't wait if you don't have a ticket at that time, what has the new film association done in this regard?" This is very applicable in the face of Titanic, when [Titanic] was screened, it was the kind of situation where it was difficult to find a ticket, if you want to see [Titanic], then in such a situation, it must be said to pass early, basically you may not be able to buy a ticket if you go half an hour early, only wait for the next show.
At this time, in Lao Bai's view, since it is said that [Titanic] can have such a big box office influence, and [Star Wars: Phantom of the Phantom of the Wars], which is more technological than [Titanic], is naturally the only one who will have greater box office appeal. If it is said that in such a situation, [Star Wars: Phantom Crisis] can have the strong box office of Titanic, it is definitely news that makes reporters excited.
Chairman Liu seems to have really made some preparations for such a thing, and this is the only movie this year that can be called a blockbuster.
The New Film Association has actually put a lot of effort into this. I can't help but get a good result from this movie.
Therefore, at this time, Chairman Liu said a little proudly: "This, please rest assured that our new film association has made full consideration in terms of film scheduling, and ensures that as long as there are audiences, they will be able to see this movie in time." The other film screening plans of the New Film Association will make way for this film. Speaking of which, Chairman Liu feels very proud, if he can succeed this time, then it is not a dream for him to be promoted.
It's a very real problem. At the premiere, most of the reporters' questions revolved around Lucas, but since it is the home field, this Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige will not be left out in the cold, and several reporters are also very interested in asking Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, two big directors, some views on [Star Wars: Phantom Crisis]. Even in this case, even Ye Ming is actually not exempt from vulgarity, and he was asked such a question by a reporter.
Originally, Lao Bai planned to watch Ye Ming make a fool of himself, but who knew that Ye Ming's answer was exquisite, but it was also difficult for people to grasp the handle. The whole premiere can be said to be uneventful, and there were no surprises, which can be regarded as a happy ending. (To be continued)
