On February 24, "Dayu Controls the Water" held a new film press conference and start-up ceremony at Huairou China Film Digital Base.

In the morning, more than a dozen contracted actors arrived one after another, and greeted them warmly after meeting one by one. Especially the two "Handong Men's Heavenly Group", Ding Yanfeng and Zhang Zhijian joked with each other.

The rest of the old drama bones are also very familiar with each other, only Fat Di is younger, and he can only stand and watch others talk stupidly.

After a while, Lu Lin and Wu Jing came together and briefly said a few words of thanks.

After chatting with Wu Jing again, everyone initially thought that he was just coming to cheer up. And when they knew that this person would make a cameo in "Dayu Controls the Water", they all said that Wu Jing planned to go further and further in the personal box office champion of Chinese films.

However, it is said that Wu Jing's personal box office in the past two years has really grown by leaps and bounds, and it is difficult for others to match.

"The Return of the Great Sage", "Wolf Warrior", "Wolf Warrior II", "The Wandering Earth", and "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace". With just a few movies, the domestic box office exceeded 20 billion.

After the release of "Dayu Controls the Water", even if the effect generally does not reach four or five billion, there are still two or three billion.

If Wu Jing shoots like this, his personal domestic box office will not exceed three or four billion in the future!

Everyone joked that Wu Jing didn't mention it, but said that at the press conference, there were really many reporters and too many media.

The main reason is that Lu Lin is usually too low-key, and there are not many opportunities to interview him. Especially after the four special effects blockbusters in 17 years, the domestic box office exceeded 20 billion, except for CCTV, no media interviewed Lu Lin's news.

Now that it's hard to catch up with a press conference, there will definitely be a lot of reporters, even if you can't ask questions, take a few photos and go back!

Another is that I heard that Tang Guiqi came to play Dayu, this thing sounds fresh, and I must ask about it.

The reporters discussed a lot, and some said: "This Lu Dao's idea is different from that of us ordinary people!"

Another said: "Mr. Tang Guoqiang's acting skills are indeed high, but he is that age, you say that being the protagonist of such a blockbuster is not a waste of resources! If a young actor is used to act, is it a drama that is popular, creating an international superstar, how much profit can it bring to the company!"

"Renlonglin Pictures is about to go public, I think financial experts estimate that it seems to have a market value of 500 billion to start, and Lu Dao can have a net worth of more than 400 billion. People don't care about that, what can one more international superstar do? How much more can you earn?"

"Rich people, they are really willful!"

"Oh, you can really do whatever you want if you have money, you said that if this is another blockbuster, can you find such an old actor?"

"Hey, not necessarily, uncle actors in North America are very popular, like that little Robert Downey, who is not young!"

"More than 50 talents!"

When everyone was chatting, Gao Hongze, the boss of the brokerage business department of Dragon Scale Pictures, came to the stage first, took the microphone and said: "Well, today is the new film launch conference and start-up ceremony of "Dayu Controls the Water". First of all, thank you very much for all the media reporters and some guests and friends, come to participate in our press conference in such a cold weather, let my heart feel warm, thank you very much!

Then let's not talk much, let's first invite Mr. Lu Lin, the screenwriter and director of our whole film, to come up and tell us a few words. ”

After a round of applause, Lu Lin walked onto the stage. The opening remarks are similar, and then a brief introduction to "Dayu Controls the Water", the basic information of this play.

The initial cost of shooting is estimated to be 100 million US dollars, which is still the level of the previous blockbuster. The second is the cast, and then it comes to the reporter's question session.

The reporter of "China Film Report" took the lead in asking: "Hello Director Lu, Longlin Pictures' blockbusters have always been the audience of the Chinese film market, and they are more concerned and concerned. Then the drama "Dayu Controls the Water" is a special effects blockbuster for the global film market.

I heard your introduction just now, I want to talk about Mr. Tang Guiqi to play this Dayu. May I ask Director Lu for what kind of considerations he came to invite Mr. Tang to play this role?"

Lu Lin smiled slightly, "Well, first of all, naturally because of the acting skills, there is no doubt about Mr. Tang Guiqi's superb acting skills."

Again, the character of Dayu is the father of Xia Qi, the founding emperor of the Xia Dynasty, the first dynasty in Chinese history. So in my thoughts, the role of Dayu must be very aura and a very dignified person. And Mr. Tang Guiqi has successfully portrayed this kind of role many times, so I believe that he can perform an impressive Dayu.

The reporters laughed when they heard this, and some people shouted in the audience that Mr. Tang is a person who can play China for 5,000 years.

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Lu Lin also smiled and said, "In this case, how about I invite Teacher Tang to the stage and let him talk to everyone?"

So the latter came to the stage amid the applause of a group of media reporters, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Well, first of all, thank you very much Director Lu Lin for giving me such an opportunity." In fact, when I first received his invitation, my heart refused.

Mainly because I feel that I am too old, you think, Dayu controls the water, such a great man in history, who can bear the heavy responsibility of water control, he can't be a bad old man!

But at my age, if you want me to play forty or fifty years old, it's okay, if I play twenty or thirty years old, it's really impossible!

Later, Director Lu told me that it doesn't matter, we have special effects that can give you a rejuvenation treatment. Then I thought, this is quite provocative!

Just now, a reporter friend below also said that I have played many important historical figures in the emperors and generals of the upper and lower 5,000 years. The role of Dayu, I really want to try it!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and a reporter asked: "There will be a lot of action scenes in this film!"

Tang Guiqiao nodded: "There are indeed some, of course, I am also actively exercising during this period of time, preparing for a good Dayu!"

After speaking, the reporters applauded again. Many people also secretly admired this old artist who was growing stronger. If God could borrow him for 500 years, he might really be able to play all the emperors of the past dynasties!

The reporter's side turned the topic to Lu Lin's head again, "Hello Director Lu, the mainland box office of "Havoc in Heaven" broke through the 5.9 billion mark before, well, the world has also achieved such a record result of 20 US dollars, which can be called the pride of our Huayi film and makes countless Chinese people proud."

And what I want to ask here is, what kind of box office results does Director Lu think the drama "Dayu Controls the Water" can achieve?

Also, when do you think our Chinese-language films will have a film that crosses the 6 billion mark in the mainland market?"
