Chapter 110: Ruthless Character

The "Hoe Rape" press conference mainly invites left-leaning media, so that they can make their voices as favorable as possible. Since there were relatively few left-leaning media in Hong Kong, only Wen Wei Po, Ta Kung Pao, Shang Pao, Jing Pao, and Xin Wanbao were invited, and relatively neutral media such as Oriental Daily, Cheng Pao, and Ming Pao were also invited. However, on the day of the news conference, a large number of right-leaning and pro-Taiwan media rushed to hear the news.

After the press conference began, the moderator gave the opportunity to ask questions to familiar reporters. The reporters asked relatively mild questions, and most of them were given to Zhao Dan. Xu Wangqiu was only given three questions, while Fang Shu and Zhou Lijin were only given one question, and they were on the side to see how Zhao Dan talked and laughed.

However, after a few familiar reporters clicked, the host could only point people by feeling. In this way, pro-Taiwan and right-leaning media will inevitably be targeted. The first to be targeted was a female reporter, who spoke in a tone a bit like a Kuomintang radio announcer in the Anti-Japanese War drama: "Director Xu Wangqiu, I am a reporter from the "Industrial and Commercial Daily", I heard that you made this movie with other people, why did you come to Xiangjiang to promote it, and not another director?"

Before the press conference, Xu Dunle, the boss of Southern Pictures, told Xu Wangqiu that the situation in Xiangjiang was complicated. In the first half of this year, Wang Tianlin filmed "Ghost Horse Zhiduoxing" for Xinlian under the pseudonym Wang Tao, and when the Freedom Federation knew about it, he said that he was going to ban him. He reminded Xu Wangqiu that the pro-Taiwan and right-leaning media will definitely ask you tricky questions when they see you so young, and you must pay attention to it.

Xu Wangqiu knew that "Industrial and Commercial Daily" was a pro-Taiwan media, so he immediately raised his attention and replied cautiously: "Teacher Xie Fei is busy with his new play, and I have time, so I came." ”

The reporter immediately laughed when he heard Xu Wangqiu say this: "In other words, in fact, the movie was mainly made by that director, but because he had other affairs, he couldn't come, so he let you come, right?"

The left/wing media present were all frightened by the shamelessness of the other side. Even if the director doesn't come, it can't be said that he is the real director of the movie, this can't stand it at all! Even if you want to make a big news, it's not like that!

The eyes of everyone at the scene were focused on Xu Wangqiu, wondering how he would answer.

Xu Wangqiu knew that now was not the time to be modest, so he said directly: "Teacher Xie Fei has indeed made a lot of efforts in this movie, but the whole movie is basically going according to my ideas, and I am mainly responsible for the shooting." ”

At this moment, another pro-Taiwan reporter stood up: "Director Xu Wangqiu, hello." I'm Guo Yuan, a reporter from the "Xiangjiang Times", and I've heard people say that "The Rape" was actually made by that director, and your family is a high-ranking official, and you saw that this movie was made very well, so you took the movie away from the director and turned it into your work, what do you think of this statement?"

Xu Wangqiu felt that he could not let the other party slander him, and he had to launch a counterattack, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Comrade Guo Yuan, you are also a comrade of our party in the secret development, is it okay to ask like this? I know that the Taiwan side now suspects that you are our person and is secretly investigating you, but you can't push me out to block the knife in order to clear your suspicion!"

Guo Yuan's face turned green when he heard this, like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and screamed: "You fart! I'm not a communist! No one is investigating me." Who the hell is gay with you! You don't spew blood!"

In fact, it's not that Guo Yuan is sensitive, if this word is to be spread to Taiwan, then he will really be finished. Just the year before last, Xiangjiang filmed a erotic film "Official/People I Want". The main creator of the crew went to Cannes to sell films, and the heroine Shao Yinyin was called a "Chinese doll" by the Associated Press. Unexpectedly, as soon as Taiwan heard about "China Doll", they regarded her as a mainland spy and banned her.

Xu Wangqiu said lightly: "You can spray me with blood, why can't I spray you?" It is said that the people of Taiwan Province are particularly domineering in Xiangjiang, and they will ban our artists who participate in mainland movies at every turn. ”

The reporters at the scene looked at Xu Wangqiu dumbfounded, but they didn't expect this seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man to be such a ruthless character. When others used rumors to hack him, he immediately countered with more ruthless rumors. The Taiwan media and pro-Taiwan media present were all silent and decided not to provoke Xu Wangqiu, otherwise he would shout at himself comrade, and his job would probably be gone.

At this time, a neutral reporter was targeted: "Mainland films have never performed very well in Xiangjiang, and looking at the publicity of "Hoe Rape", I am obviously very optimistic about the movie, I think, where does your confidence come from?"

Xu Wangqiu smiled faintly: "For any commercial movie, the most important thing is to have a good story, and the story of "Hoe Rape" is very good, the prototype of the story is that Tekko eradicated the traitor Bai Xin, who was made the first assassination in the East at the beginning, which was very sensational. The second point is that our investment in this film is very high, with a cost of 690,000 yuan, almost 2.2 million Hong Kong dollars. The third is special effects, for a war film, the most important thing is that the battle is fierce, in "Hoe Rape" we used the most advanced air explosion technology to restore the war scenes in the most realistic way, which Hollywood movies have not done. It is no exaggeration to say that the war special effects of our movie are better than those of Hollywood. ”

Everyone present was a little surprised, but they didn't expect the cost of hoeing rape to exceed 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and they all sighed at the generosity of the crew of "Hoeing Rape". But what surprised them even more was that Xu Wangqiu actually said that the special effects of "Hoe Rape" were not inferior to Hollywood. If there is really such a good technology, then it will definitely attract many people to the cinema, and the box office should be considerable.

Without waiting for the new reporter to raise his hand to ask a question, a right/faction reporter stood up and said, "You say that your technology is more advanced than the Americans, and your special effects are better than Hollywood?" He laughed out loud and shouted to the reporter next to him, "Do you believe this?"

The scene suddenly resounded with laughter, and it was obvious that many people did not believe it.

Xu Wangqiu looked at each other like an idiot: "In "Hoe Rape", we used the most advanced air explosion technology, which shortens the distance between the explosion point and the actor, so that the explosion occurs next to the actor. It's not that I'm bragging, in the area of fireworks, we really don't lose to the Americans. At least we haven't seen that effect in American films. ”

The reporter sneered: "You have only watched a few Hollywood movies, and you dare to say that your technology is more advanced than Hollywood, you are really arrogant, your technology is not more advanced than the United States." ”

Xu Wangqiu scoffed unceremoniously: "On October 1, 1949, Taizu said that the Chinese people had stood up from then on; at the end of the Korean War, President Peng said that the era when Western colonizers could occupy a country for hundreds of years as long as they erected a few cannons on a coastline in the east is gone." Many of us have stood up, but some of us have always been on our knees, and in their hearts they have always thought that China cannot be stronger than foreigners. When they heard that China was stronger than foreign countries, their first reaction was not to be happy, but to question: How can you be stronger than our American fathers! This must be a conspiracy of the Arab Communist Party! How can the Arab Communist Party be stronger than the American fathers! For people like you, I just want to say stop kneeling and stand up!

When the reporters of the leftist media at the scene heard this, they immediately burst into a burst of joyful laughter, and they all felt that Xu Wangqiu's words were particularly painful, and some of them really couldn't get up on their knees. Even reporters from neutral media couldn't help it, they felt that Xu Wangqiu's mouth was really too poisonous, and it could almost damage people to the wall!

Guo Yuan and other reporters from the right/wing media were all red-faced, and they wanted to refute it, but they didn't know how to refute it. Now they haven't seen the movie, and they haven't even seen the movie to refute it. But they made up their minds that when the movie was released, they must take a good look at the movie, and then write a good article to criticize it.

Another reporter stood up and asked: "I am a reporter from "Sing Tao Daily", and I can see that Director Xu has confidence in "Hoe Rape", so how much box office do you think "Hoe Rape" can achieve in Xiangjiang in the end?"

Xu Wangqiu knew that if he said a very high number, the right/wing media would say that he was arrogant and ignorant, and if the movie did not reach the box office in the end, they would laugh at it. However, Xu Wangqiu felt that this was a good publicity opportunity, and he could show that he was very confident by saying that the box office of the movie was high, so he said: "I think it will exceed 3 million, and if the situation is good, it will exceed 5 million!"

As soon as these words came out, it was as if a bomb had been thrown into the calm lake, and the whole scene set off earth-shattering waves.

In addition to being shocked, the left/faction media shook their heads helplessly, feeling that Xu Wangqiu was still too young and had fallen into the trap of the other party. If you put the numbers so high, they will definitely say that you are arrogant in the newspapers, and may even say that you look down on the Hong Kong market, thus arousing the audience's disgust towards you, and sure enough, you are still too young!

The right/faction media are smiling one by one, as if they have won a big battle, this mainland director is really too young and too unbearable, and he dares to say that the box office of "Hoe Rape" can exceed 3 million. "Hoe Rape" performed very well in the mainland, that is only the mainland, and this is Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang audiences have never seen any movies, Dongying movies, French movies, Hollywood movies, how can they like to watch mainland movies. For decades, the only mainland film with a box office of more than 3 million in Xiangjiang is "Liu Sanjie".

A young man, with such a big breath, the Xiangjiang Market will make your head bleed!

A reporter got up and asked, "Director Xu, do you know how many movies in Xiangjiang had a box office of more than 3 million last year?"

Xu Wangqiu shrugged his shoulders and said disappreciatively: "I don't know, but I know that there was an American film "Wild Goose Expendables" last year, which was similar in theme and content to "Hoe Rape", and this movie won 4 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office. Our film is faster-paced, the combat is more realistic, and it is more intense, and it should not lose to this movie at the box office. ”

Hearing this, the right/faction reporters were even more excited, this guy really dares to say anything, do you know who plays "Wild Goose Expendables"? That's Richard Burton and Roger Moore, these two are Hollywood superstars, is this what your movie can compare?

"Crazy! really crazy!" Guo Yuan was so excited that his hands trembled, and the breath he exhaled was thicker than a cow, "I actually said that the box office of "Hoe Rape" is similar to that of "Wild Goose Death Squad", this Ah Gongzi is really crazy!"

"Mainland directors, I haven't seen the world, I guess I don't even know who Richard Burton and Roger Moore are, it's not strange to say this kind of thing!"

The right/faction reporters frantically pressed the shutter at Xu Wangqiu, and the flash flashed wildly. They want to take a picture of the ugly face of this arrogant boy, so that the citizens of Xiangjiang can see his arrogant face clearly. However, what made these reporters want to vomit blood was that Xu Wangqiu was not only worried, but compared scissor hands to them.
