Chapter 801: Arrogance in the Bones (4100+ Chapters, Ask for Subscription~)
Haha!"
In Beverly Hills, Gong Bing, Li Xiuming and others also laughed when they heard what Wu Jianye and Zhou Huimin had encountered in the café today.
"You're too bad, what if that person does what you say?" Li Xiuming nudged Wu Jianye's shoulder and said angrily.
Wu Jianye smiled: "If he really does it, it can only mean that he has a problem with his brain, and we should still be magnanimous to comrades with brain problems!"
"You're bad!" Gong Zhen also joined the denunciation.
However, whether it is Gong Bin or Li Xiuming, their eyes reveal a trace of envy.
It became a vignette in Los Angeles.
Gong Bin and Li Xiuming continued to be busy with their work, while Zhou Huimin accompanied Wu Jianye to start promoting "The World of Chu Xing" during this time.
It's like a little assistant.
However, Zhou Huimin is happy about this, in the past, others served her, but this time she became the object of service, which is still very different.
Because of the buying point of the movie "The World of Chu Xing" in North America, Wu Jianye is the only one, so Wu Jianye also accepted a lot of interviews in order to promote this movie.
The first is an interview with ABC, but Wu Jianye didn't want to fly to New York again, so the host of ABC had to fly to Los Angeles to conduct an exclusive interview with Wu Jianye, and edit it after he returned.
"Director Wu, I really haven't seen you for a long time!"
The host of the interview with Wu Jianye is the ace host of the ABC TV network, called Mary, and she is also a senior variety show host, and her hosting style has always been humorous, and at the same time, she does not have the bad taste of some variety shows in the United States.
North American variety shows sound very lofty, but in fact, they are not much different from ordinary variety shows, and even some variety shows have no worse bad taste than RB's.
Those Hollywood superstars who are usually high up will also show their naïve side in various variety shows.
When Wu Jianye promoted "Jurassic Park" before, he also participated in Mary's talk show.
"It's been almost a year!" Wu Jianye recalled the release time of "Jurassic Park" and said with a smile.
"Director Wu, you are really not a prolific director, some directors have already made two movies in a year!" Mary said with a smile.
"There's no way, if you want to ensure the quality of the movie, you naturally have to polish it well, there is an old saying in our Huaxia, called slow work makes fine work!" Wu Jianye replied with a smile.
"Then Director Wu, do you mean that those prolific film directors don't care about the movies they make?" Mary keenly grasped the key points and dug a tunnel for Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Of course not, everyone has everyone's work habits, my work habit is one movie a year, and those prolific directors are also very good directors, many of which are directors that I personally admire very much!"
Dealing with this kind of small scene is already familiar to Wu Jianye.
"Director Wu, since the release of "Jurassic Park" last year, it has triggered a movie-watching boom around the world, and we all know that this movie is based on your name, and there are three in total, and now it can be said that audiences around the world are paying attention to the sequel series of this movie, can you tell us about the sequel plan for the movie "Jurassic Park"?"
Compared with "Chu Xing's World", in fact, North American audiences don't care very much, they care about the movie "Jurassic Park", this movie helped Hollywood open the door to the global film market, and this year Hollywood has made several big productions and seized the global market.
And now that Wu Jianye has come to Hollywood with a Chinese movie, how can they care.
"The sequel to "Jurassic Park" is already in preparation, and it is estimated that filming will officially start next year, and I think it won't be too long to meet with you!" Wu Jianye said.
"And will the sequel to Jurassic Park also be directed by you, Director Wu?" asked Mary.
Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "No, in fact, Phantom Pictures has begun to look for a suitable director for this movie, but I didn't participate in the specific operation!"
Seeing that Mary still wanted to ask the question of "Jurassic Park", Wu Jianye cleverly dragged the topic to the movie "The World of Chu Xing".
The priority of this interview still needs to be clearly distinguished.
In fact, when Mary came to interview Wu Jianye, she had already received an order, but everyone still liked the movie "Jurassic Park", so subconsciously she still wanted to ask more about "Jurassic Park".
"We noticed that in the poster of the movie "The World of Chu Xing", there is a sentence written: If one day you find out that the world you live in is just a hoax, what do you do?
Although "The World of Chu Xing" has been released in China, Xiangjiang, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, the habitual pride of North America makes them pay no attention to the content of this movie at all, even if it is Mary.
Wu Jianye smiled: "It can be said that it can also be said that it is not, this is a movie that is not the same as all the movie genres now, I believe that everyone can see their own shadow in this movie!"
In fact, the questions asked by Mary were similar to those mentioned in the interviews that Wu Jianye received in China, and Wu Jianye also answered them one by one.
But there are still some different problems here, and of course they are more acute.
"Director Wu, we noticed that although the movie "The World of Chu Xing" was released in the cinemas of the commercial theaters of Oceanwide Cinemas, the number of theaters and screens it released is not comparable to the movie "Jurassic Park", and even the movie "Ghost Love" cannot be compared, does this mean that Phantom Pictures is not very optimistic about this movie?"
Wu Jianye smiled slightly and said, "I think you should ask Mr. Murphy of Phantom Pictures or Mr. Johnson of Oceanwide Cinemas for this question." ”
Wu Jianye did not answer this question positively, after all, such a question is easily infinitely amplified by these media.
Mary nodded, "According to the news we have received, the movie "The World of Chu Xing" has been released in China and some Asian regions, can you tell us about the release of this movie in these regions?"
Although Mary didn't know that Wu Jianye was the real boss behind ABC, before interviewing Wu Jianye, she also received an arrangement from the TV station, hoping that she could raise the movie when interviewing Wu Jianye.
However, Mary still doesn't understand how much box office can such a film that has not premiered in North America achieve at the box office?
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "As of today, the box office of "Chu Xing's World" has achieved more than 35 million US dollars at the box office in China, and the box office in the entire Asian region has also exceeded 40 million US dollars!"
After this data came out, Mary looked at Wu Jianye in surprise, and her first thought was that this was unrealistic.
"Director Wu, isn't it a bit exaggerated, what is the Chinese film market like, everyone knows it, such a movie that has not yet been released in North America has achieved a box office of nearly 100 million US dollars worldwide?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Then the news you know may be lagging behind, now Huaxia is implementing film reform, and at the same time, it has also introduced Xiangjiang's Fengge Cinema Line into the Huaxia Cinema Market, at this time, Fengge Cinema Line has already completed the layout of the entire Asia, this data is all verified, you can find Huaxia newspapers or Xiangjiang newspapers to see, the current Huaxia market is different from the market you know!"
"I think I'll find a way to find it!" Mary said subconsciously.
Then asked: "Then Director Wu, can you reveal the investment in this movie?"
From this problem, it can also be seen that North America does not pay enough attention to Chinese films, if Wu Jianye shoots a movie in Hollywood, the North American media will definitely investigate the film clearly, but now it is different, even if Wu Jianye has achieved success in North America, but the movies he shot in China still can't attract enough attention from these media.
"Ten million!" Wu Jianye replied.
"With an investment of 10 million US dollars, you can get nearly 100 million US dollars at the box office, Director Wu, I have to say that you are really a very good film director!" Mary sighed sincerely.
Wu Jianye smiled: "I'm talking about 10 million yuan, which is less than 2 million dollars!"
Mary: "......"
For a while, the ace talk show host who practiced Mary didn't know how to answer.
With an investment of $2 million and a box office of $75 million, such a film cannot be described simply as a success.
Wu Jianye did not say anything about the publicity cost of the film.......
The most important thing is that the release of this movie has not yet ended, and now it is about to land in the European and American markets, even if the film is not adapted to the European and American regions.
But relying on Wu Jianye's golden sign alone is enough to bring the film a box office of 3-40 million US dollars.
If that's the case, then there's a good chance that the film will end at around $130 million at the global box office.......
"Director Wu, you have to know that these data can be checked!" Mary's good psychological quality made him calm down quickly, but he was still a little skeptical of Wu Jianye's data.
Wu Jianye smiled: "Of course, I welcome everyone to check these data at any time!"
In the following time, Mary asked Wu Jianye a lot about the movie "The World of Chu Xing", perhaps because of the domestic box office and the Asian box office, which made Mary also have a strong interest in the movie "The World of Chu Xing".
The two-hour interview was completed quickly.
After the interview, Mary shook hands with Wu Jianye.
"Director Wu, if those data are true, I really hope that you can return to Hollywood to make movies, only in this way can you show your talent to the fullest!"
Wu Jianye smiled: "Thank you, but in my opinion, whether it is filming in China or shooting in Hollywood, it is actually shooting a movie, and I hope that everyone can know more about Huaxia through my movie." ”
For Wu Jianye's teasing, Mary's face did not change, and she smiled again and shook hands with Wu Jianye to say goodbye.
When Wu Jianye walked out of the recording studio, Zhou Huimin handed him a thermos cup and said, "I finally know why you are willing to go back to China to shoot a movie!"
After Wu Jianye took a sip of water, he asked, "Why?"
"Although these people are all smiling, but in their bones they have always thought that they are superior, that kind of overlooking attitude, I don't like it, I'm sure you don't like it either!"
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "There is almost this reason, although Americans clamore for equality every day, but in fact, they really regard themselves as superior beings in their bones." ”
Wu Jianye didn't have a deep chat with Zhou Huimin on this topic, mainly because he was scared by 404.
River crab beasts are everywhere.......
Wu Jianye was interviewed by Phantom Media, and after the interview, Wu Jianye did not leave Phantom Media directly, but took Zhou Huimin to visit one of the world's largest media groups.
At this time, the building of Phantom Media has been completed, and the companies under Phantom Media, except for ABC TV Network, HBO, ESPN and other TV stations, have moved their headquarters here, Phantom Pictures, Digital Field, Oceanwide Cinemas, Hera Brokerage, Phantom Sports, Marvel Studios.......
Zhou Huimin was also very curious.
Although Fengge Media is also very big and has many companies, it was in Xiangjiang at that time, next to Zhou Huimin, which belonged to a place that I saw every day, so I didn't have a lot of curiosity.
But Phantom Media is different, this is one of the largest media groups in the world, and the name is more elegant than Fengge Media, but in fact, the gap between the two sides is really a bit big.
Fengge Media's basic plate is ATV, Fengge Pictures and Fengge Cinemas, especially Fengge Cinemas, where they are valuable, not in the theaters, but in their land.
Now with the rise of the economy in Asia, the price of land is also the same every day, and these commercial lands are enough to double the invisible assets of Fengge Cinema Line.
But Phantom Media is different, they are located in North America, whether Wu Jianye wants to admit it or not, North America is now the center of the world.
However, what makes Wu Jianye more satisfied is that these industries are all his own, and he can't say who is good and who is bad.
Zhou Huimin has been in Marvel Studios for the longest time, which is also related to her love of reading comics.
In the evening, Wu Jianye took Zhou Huimin to watch a Lakers game, the Lakers at this time were experiencing their own pains, and the retirement of Magic Johnson had a great impact on the Lakers.
Coupled with the fact that their opponent is the bulls who are in full swing, the defeat is also a matter of course!
