Chapter 419: Wolf Warrior Finishes, Annual Meeting Invitation (2-in-1)
No matter how overwhelming the outside world's comments about Wu Zhonghua are, the filming of "Wolf Warrior" is still in full swing.
Just when the crew was about to finish, Chu Bai specially took time out to visit the crew.
Many veteran staff members of the Wolf Warrior crew were finally able to see this legendary big investor with their own eyes.
When Chu Bai first arrived, Wu Zhonghua was still filming, and when others saw Chu Bai appearing, they all wanted to say hello, Chu Bai immediately nodded and signaled everyone not to affect the filming.
Not far away, Wu Zhonghua was wearing a camouflage uniform, holding a dagger in his hand, revealing a ruthlessness all over his body.
The European and American actors opposite him were tall, holding a pair of eagle talons in their hands, and the cold light was clear.
The two of you go back and forth, fists to the flesh, it is not the so-called slow motion at all, every action is bombarded from time to time, and every move and style reveal a ruthlessness.
This will indeed stimulate the adrenaline of the audience even more, but it is also easy to get injured by mistake when filming.
For this alone, Chu Bai saw Wu Zhonghua accidentally injure the other party or be injured by mistake seven or eight times, one of which was so serious that the whole person fell to the ground on his back, he was also startled, and hurriedly went to see if Wu Zhonghua was injured.
Wu Zhonghua grinned and waved his hand and rubbed his face, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm very rough." Come on, go on!"
"You take it easy, how can I explain to your wife if something happens?" Chu Bai handed over a towel.
Wu Zhonghua was afraid of wearing makeup, so he wiped it carefully, "Don't worry, this is a pediatric in the army." ”
Chu Bai took back the towel and retreated behind the shooting equipment again.
A new round of sparring has begun.
Half an hour later, this one finally passed with difficulty.
"Will you wait for me and have dinner together in the evening?" Wu Zhonghua was sweating profusely, and turned his head to look at Chu Bai while the staff quickly removed his makeup, and spoke very casually, and did not say that he was as careful as others because of Chu Bai's identity.
This scene is also seen by the staff next to him, and their eyes are shining.
"Yes. Chu Bai agreed.
Wu Zhonghua said hello and went to change clothes.
Chu Bai, accompanied by the assistant director, met with many actors, regardless of the coffee position, Chu Bai asked cordially.
For example, the food of the crew, or whether there were any difficulties in filming.
No one is stupid to find someone to embarrass at this time, some bold female staff members hugged each other and shouted "shyly": "Can you come a few more times? We are all your fans." ”
The crowd erupted in good-natured laughter.
Chu Bai was about to leave, but when he heard this, he stopped, looked at them with a smile, and joked: "I want to come too, but Boss Wu refuses to give me the starring role." ”
The crowd erupted in laughter again.
After staying with everyone and taking some group photos, Chu Bai found a place with Wu Zhonghua and a group of high-level crew members, and talked about the movie by eating.
And after they left, many staff members whispered.
"Is it true?"
"What's the matter?"
"Don't you know? The Internet is now full of excitement, all of them are saying that when Director Wu was divested and had no way out, it was Chu Bai who stepped forward. ”
"Not really. It is reported that Chu Bai and Director Wu met at Zhang Qingyi's party, and the two hit it off at first sight, and they began to wrestle their wrists without chatting a word. ”
"Aha, they're so cute. ”
"Hahaha, I'm laughing to death. Two big men wrestling their wrists at the party, hahaha, it's too graphic. ”
"Yes, we have been with Boss Wu for so many years, we know best what kind of temper he has, I didn't expect to be able to talk to Chu Bai like this?"
"Then you don't know Chu Bai's temper, online violence doesn't work for him, he kills one when he comes, and he kills ten when he comes to ten. It is said that someone asked the navy to want to black Chubai, but the timid refused directly, and the price of the bold ones was several times higher. Why, because Chu Bai is too good!"
"I've been a fan of Chu Bai for two years. It's really a step by step look at him becoming popular, as an old fan, his character is absolutely nothing to say! Being able to become friends with Boss Wu is actually not an unexpected thing. Both of them belong to the clear stream of good character in the entertainment industry, so they will naturally cherish each other. ”
"I'm so envious. As soon as he saw it, he directly smashed 100 million, Boss Chu was too rich. ”
"Young and rich, the key is not married...... Am I going to have a chance?"
"Sister, wake up, be careful that Yuan Jiayu takes a knife to your house to block you. ”
"I can't think about it. ”
"Dream again, wake you up!"
“……”
……
In the box, Chu Bai, Wu Zhonghua, screenwriter Lao Ji and several other producers sat together.
A group of big men naturally opened the wine.
After three rounds of drinking, the scene that should be said was almost finished, so Chu Bai asked Wu Zhonghua: "For the wolf warrior, how much box office do you estimate it will be?"
He looked at Wu Zhonghua, and Wu Zhonghua smiled innocently: "I'll be conservative, one billion." ”
Screenwriter Lao Ji almost squirted out a mouthful of water.
Is this still called conservative?
He thought that he would be able to exceed 100 million Amitabha.
After all, the original cost was only one or two million.
The current word...... He saw Chu Bai looking at him, and said a little higher, "Five hundred million." ”
"It's not promising!"
It was Wu Zhonghua who said this, and his face was full of disgust.
Lao Ji smiled and joked: "Newcomers in the entertainment industry, I'm afraid of being laughed at if I talk too much." Of course, I definitely hope that we have as many movies as possible. ”
Chu Bai relieved his pressure and said, "I still chased you." ”
Lao Ji was stunned, "Mr. Chu still watches the Internet?"
Chu Bai smiled mysteriously.
He didn't just read it, he wrote it himself.
While chatting, Wu Zhonghua suddenly asked Chu Bai: "Don't keep talking about us, how much box office do you bet?"
The corners of Chu Bai's mouth lifted lightly, and he raised two fingers.
Wu Zhonghua was stunned, but Lao Ji said uncertainly: "Two hundred million?"
Chu Bai shook his head: "Two billion!"
With a bang, the whole box fell into a dead silence as if it had been startled.
Billion?
Everyone looked at Chu Bai in disbelief.
Chu Bai drank unhurriedly to moisten his throat: "You also know that the box office of my last movie exceeded two billion. ”
The crowd nodded.
At the beginning, Chu Bai's "Predecessor Three" shocked the entertainment industry.
How much does that movie cost?
As a result, it directly became a hit, and the box office topped the year, unmatched!
At the beginning, I don't know how many people in the industry were amazed.
What are you marveling at?
I wondered how to make a movie, as if I could play with Chu Bai in his hands, and the banknotes were poured into my pockets, not like they had to be scared every time the movie was released, but they always lost more and won less.
Chu Bai opened his mouth and said the second half of the sentence: "So, my expectations for "Wolf Warrior" are also two billion!"
"Uhhh
The whole box was silent again.
Wu Zhonghua's eyes widened and he looked at Chu Bai.
Lao Ji lowered her head with a wry smile.
Several other producers also opened their mouths, looking frightened.
Billion?
40 million for 2 billion?
In the past, they really just wanted to think about it, to be a dream of making a fortune, but reason would tell them that it was impossible.
But right now, I suddenly heard the numbers spoken by Chu Bai himself...... They subconsciously swallowed and foamed.
"Can we really do it?" Wu Zhonghua was the first to come back to his senses and asked.
The corners of Chu Bai's mouth were lightly raised, but there was no perfunctory meaning, which was very convincing: "The current society is different from before, and we can't always think about using traditional propaganda methods...... The key to the success of my last film lies in marketing. ”
"Marketing?"
Several people present were stunned when they heard this word.
Wu Zhonghua pulled his head: "Is it the kind of Weite that is often searched?
Chu Bai smiled: "Marketing is a science. What you said is a low-level marketing method, just for the sake of popularity, we are different, we want popularity, and we want feelings. Otherwise, my tens of millions were smashed for nothing?"
Chu Bai's words made everyone think thoughtfully.
Chu Bai and the others reminisced a little, and said: "The scene of "Wolf Warrior" will be completed in two days, and the schedule has been set for the first day of the Lunar New Year. In addition, I want to make Wolf Warrior a series of movies. ”
Movie series???
The people present didn't know how many times they were shocked by Chu Bai's thoughts.
How confident do you have to be in Wolf Warrior to have this kind of thought?
"Are you serious?" Wu Zhonghua asked, in fact, he was tempted.
Chu Bai nodded: "I don't have to laugh at you about this kind of thing. ”
"But the script ......," Lao Ji was a little worried.
After all, he is not a person in the entertainment industry, as one of the screenwriters of Wolf Warrior, the existence of an unfamous screenwriter like him is actually not so important in this capital world.
Chu Bai put a USB flash drive over: "Here are some of my thoughts, I hope it can give you some inspiration." ”
Lao Ji was startled, and the whole person stood up, "Mr. Chu, I?!"
Seeing this, Chu Bai asked rhetorically, "What, don't you have this confidence?"
Lao Ji's face turned red, "Don't worry!"
Chu Bai smiled and picked up his wine glass: "Let's have a drink, we should celebrate in advance!"
……
In the following time, "Wolf Warrior" was successfully completed, and Wu Zhonghua, who finally made time out of the play, also became the target of major media hunting.
Wu Zhonghua himself also understood what was going on, and after breaking out of the encirclement, he vomited bitterness to Chu Bai.
Chu Bai quipped, "You have to learn to get used to it." When the movie is released, there will be more people chasing you than there are now. ”
Wu Zhonghua shook his head and smiled bitterly.
It's mid-December.
"Chu Bai, I showed you a woolen coat, it's pretty good. Yuan Jiayu called Chu Bai and took out one hand to look at the clothes in the clothing store.
"You're back?"
Chu Bai was at home in the magic capital, and after receiving a call from Yuan Jiayu, he opened the curtains and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window.
"No, my mom and I were shopping. ”
"Auntie is there too?"
"That's right. This coat is very good-looking, and our company XXX will wear it. ”
"Don't. ”
Chu Bai suddenly seemed to change his face, and there was a bit of jealousy in his tone.
Yuan Jiayu laughed on the other end of the phone, "Little fool." By the way, how's your phone?"
"It has been submitted for review, and it is not surprising that it will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year. ”
"It's going to be the New Year in January this year, and it feels like time flies so fast. ”
"Do you want to come to me at the end of the month?"
"Huh?"
"At the end of the month. ”
"I don't understand. ”
Chu Bai: "......" found that Yuan Jiayu was suddenly cheating, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
At this moment, Yuan Jiayu's mother's voice sounded on the side, she didn't know that her daughter would call Chu Bai again, and she was asking if her clothes looked good.
Seeing this, Chu Bai dropped a sentence: "Wait for me on New Year's Eve!"
Yuan Jiayu said arrogantly: "Look at the mood of this girl." I'll go shopping with my mom first, bye~"
Chu Bai looked at the phone and shook his head.
This little girl is getting more and more inflated now.
Putting down the phone, Chu Bai turned around and went to change clothes.
Today's "Wolf Warrior" is under the leadership of Wu Zhonghua and has begun the rhythm of national propaganda.
In the online world, "Wolf Warrior" has also earned enough eyeballs under Chu Bai's Chu's marketing.
This trump card is ready to go!
After changing his clothes, Chu Bai looked at the gloomy sky, still brought an umbrella, and drove to the company.
Sister Yun happened to be in contact with the people from the publishing house, and when she saw Chu Bai coming, she motioned for him to sit down first, and continued to say to the other end of the phone: "Yes, then print another million copies...... Well, good. ”
Five minutes later, Sister Yun hung up the phone and said: "Is there only three parts of "The Three-Body Problem"? ”
Chu Bai smiled dumbly, "I just heard you talking about the publication of "The Three-Body Problem" on the phone?"
"Yes, this book is a hot mess now!" Sister Yun got up, "Have a cup of coffee?"
"No, let's have a glass of warm water. ”
Sister Yun was stunned.
Chu Bai shrugged, "It's a pity, I thought I could make you laugh." Coffee, thank you. ”
Sister Yun reacted, gave him a blank look, and said while making coffee: "China Literature called over there and invited you to be their guest at their annual meeting. ”
"Annual meeting ......" Chu Bai touched his chin and thought for a moment, "What identity?"
Sister Yun stopped her hand and said in a slightly surprised voice, "What identity do you want to be?"
Chu Bai smiled: ""The Three-Body Problem" is so popular now, presumably my authorship will soon be impossible to hide, so it is better for me to uncover it myself, and finally use this identity to do something." ”
Sister Yun looked over in surprise, "Do something last?"
Chu Bai smiled mysteriously, "You contact that side, if they can't recruit the weight of the star, I will introduce them personally." ”
"Are you really?" Sister Yun was completely stunned.
Chu Bai nodded: "Anyway, I also have some shares, can I still lose if they make a big deal?"
Sister Yun responded: "Okay, I'll contact them." ”
Within a few minutes, Sister Yun was on the phone, when she suddenly looked up and asked, "Ask over there, who can you invite?"
Chu Bai peeled the orange and replied, "The host will invite Mr. He, Lao Wang." If the guests are invited, please invite Yuan Jiayu, Li Yao, Feng Lei, Sun Fenglei, Zhang Qingyi...... I'll find some old-timers in the circle, Daoming Teacher, Xue Jian Teacher, and National Teacher, they are all the most familiar to me, and they all have one sentence......"
The person on the other end of the phone was already stupid.
There may not be enough money, but there may not be enough money......
