Chapter 126: Lift the scars and sprinkle salt

It is true that the schedule of a film is not up to the director.

However, it is indeed Zhang Pu's opinion that "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" is set for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day.

He is not only a director, but also an investor and producer, and one of the distributors, so he naturally has a great right to speak.

Of course, there is no need to talk to the media about this.

So Zhang Pu shirked and said that it was the company's decision.

What's more, even if it is Zhang Puding's schedule, is it inflated that a small-budget movie is released on a popular schedule?

This argument is obviously untenable.

Zhang Pu asked rhetorically, and the media reporters were speechless when he asked directly.

The small-budget movie released during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day is not only a small-budget film "Loyal Dog Rhubarb".

Why is there only Zhang Pu who has rumors?

The topic of "Zhang Pu's expansion" started on the Internet, but when it became popular, it was the publicity team of Oriental DreamWorks that promoted it behind.

That's just hype.

However, the heat of this topic is difficult to sustain, and Zhang Pu said that it was just a sentence for him.

"Director Zhang, what is the competitive advantage between "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" and the films released at the same time?" A reporter then asked, "Where is your confidence to compete with those big productions with a small budget film? Do you think "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" can still be big with a small one?"

This problem is almost directly said that the success of "Crazy Stone" made Zhang Pu full of confidence after the expansion of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb", so he set the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day to compete with those blockbusters.

"Crazy Stone" did crush a lot of blockbusters under him.

"What was released at the same time was not necessarily competition. Zhang Pu said, "The film "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" has never wanted to compete with those blockbusters? ”

"Then do you think "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" and "Best Boyfriend" starring Huang Ze will be released at the same time, who will win and who will lose?"

A reporter then asked, and the question was somewhat straightforward.

"As I said, investments are different, and expectations are different. Zhang Pu said, "How to determine the winner or loser?" "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" has a box office of 50 million, and "Best Boyfriend" has a box office of 100 million. Did he win?"

Won?

It seems to win, it seems that there is none.

"Best Boyfriend" seems to have twice the box office of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb", but "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" has recouped its original cost, while "Best Boyfriend" has lost tens of millions.

"Director Zhang thinks that the box office of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" is not as good as "Best Boyfriend", or even half of it?"

The reporter then asked.

"Just one example. Zhang Pu smiled and said, "How is the box office, who can say clearly, I am not a god, if "Best Boyfriend" is only half of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb", wouldn't it be a slap in the face?"

I guess you'd love to be slapped in the face like this, right?

"Director Zhang, Xiao Xue and Huang Ze are all from the acting department of Yenching Film Academy, which of the two of them do you think has better acting skills?"

The question involved Xiao Xue for the first time, but it was Zhang Pu who was asked.

Xiao Xue's popularity is not lower than Zhang Pu's, but relatively speaking, there are not many topics, and they are not hot.

"Hehe!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Everyone was stunned, and then looked at Zhang Pu with some consternation.

Your "hehe" is so clear, are you afraid that others won't hear it clearly?

Those reporters thought that Zhang Pu would praise Xiao Xue's acting skills, after all, the two had worked together. As for Huang Ze's acting skills, it must be like his Weibo, saying that he has not seen the movies that Huang Ze has acted in, so he can't evaluate his acting skills.

This is the usual excuse used by people in the circle.

But who would have thought that Zhang Pu directly threw out the word "hehe", do you think Huang Ze was tortured by these two words enough?

"Director Zhang, are you mocking Huang Ze's acting scum, can't you compare with Xiao Xue?"

A reporter asked.

He dared to guarantee that if he didn't ask like this, Zhang Pu would definitely say that it was the media reporter who cut and caused trouble.

Well, it is estimated that it was the word "hehe" that made Huang Ze very embarrassed and then "explained" like that.

"Bear witness, this is what he said, not what I said. Zhang Pu said.

The reporter: ......

Why is that what I said? I'm asking you!

People, you can't be so shameless!

Some of the people on the stage were stunned, some held back their laughter, and some laughed unabashedly.

The reporters in the audience were a little speechless.

Everyone understands the meaning of Zhang Pu's words: I mean that, but I just don't say it.

"The eyes of the masses are bright!"

Zhang Pu then said again.

Reporter: ......

"Loyal Dog Rhubarb" creator: ......

Are you a mending knife?

Or do you think that people don't understand the meaning of what you just said, so you add a note?

The press conference continued, and the focus was still on Zhang Pu, and from time to time it would shift to Xiao Xue, while others completely became a foil.

Even if Zhang Pu and Xiao Xue lead to other people from time to time, they still can't arouse the interest of media reporters.

The fame and popularity of those people are really difficult to arouse the interest of media reporters.

This is just an ordinary phenomenon in the circle.

Zhang Pu and Xiao Xue can lead the topic to other people, which is already extremely good.

I'm afraid that more people will encounter this situation and prefer to be the only focus.

At the press conference of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb", Huang Ze was asked by reporters.

So at the press conference of "Best Boyfriend", it was natural that reporters would inevitably ask about Zhang Pu and his "Loyal Dog Rhubarb"!

"A small-budget film is set for a highly competitive schedule, and nine times out of ten it will become cannon fodder. I don't think the film "Rhubarb the Loyal Dog" will do well at the box office, nor do I think this film will be able to stage the miracle of "Crazy Stone". ”

"What is a miracle, what cannot be copied can be called a miracle. ”

"A film doesn't prove anything, and chance doesn't become inevitable. ”

"Compared to "Best Boyfriend", are you kidding? His investment in that movie is only more than 10 million, what can he have?"

What's there?

"There's Xiao Xue!"

The reporter said subconsciously.

Xiao Xue's popularity and coffee position may be comparable to Tang Rui, the heroine of "Best Boyfriend", but Xiao Xue is a popular actress after all, and she is an actress with a certain box office appeal.

But the reporter's subconscious words undoubtedly poked Huang Ze's pain.

Huang Ze chased after Xiao Xue, although Huang Ze didn't admit it, and Xiao Xue didn't name and say that the person was Huang Ze, but this is almost a well-known thing, just like the grudge between Zhang Pu and Huang Ze.

Neither acknowledges each other, but everyone knows it.

It's an open secret.

Moreover, this matter is related to Zhang Pu and Huang Ze's grievances.

It can be said that Huang Ze provoked the great enemy Zhang Pu because of Xiao Xue, but Xiao Xue made guest appearances in Zhang Pu's movies continuously, and also got married and had children in "Loyal Dog Rhubarb".

What is this? I didn't eat the mutton, and I made a fuss!

Previously, because of the rumors of Zhang Pu and Xiao Xue's marriage in "Loyal Dog Rhubarb", Huang Zeke was ridiculed for a while.

The reporter's subconscious words undoubtedly lifted Huang Ze's scar and sprinkled a handful of salt.

"What if there is Xiao Xue? What about Tang Rui in "Best Boyfriend"? Can she compare with Tang Rui?"

Huang Ze seemed to be a little angry, and then said.

Tang Rui next to him frowned, looked at Huang Ze, and dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Are you pulling hatred against me?

Tang Rui is almost certain that after the press conference, Xiao Xue's fans will pinch her fans.
