At No. 32, Ping'anli West Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, Mei Lanfang Grand Theater, the disaster love blockbuster "Taiping Wheel: Floating in Troubled Times" with an investment of 400 million yuan held a premiere ceremony here.

As the second high-profile blockbuster in the Chinese New Year file, "Taiping Wheel", which gathers popular stars from China, Japan and South Korea, has naturally become a hot spot in the film market.

"Detective Chinatown 2" has completely heated up the market, with 156 million on the first day, 631 million in the first week, and 153 million in two working days in the second week, and the box office was as high as 784 million in seven days of release, even higher than the popular movie "Heart Flower Road" in the same period of the National Day file.

However, even if "Detective Chinatown 2" became popular, "Taiping Wheel" also maintained a relatively high level of attention.

After all, Wu Yusen's fame is here, although "Red Cliff" has a mediocre reputation, but the box office is not bad.

And Zhang Ziyi, Wang Xiaoming, Jin Chengwu, Song Huiqiao, Qin Hairu, Tong Dawei This combination is not bad at all.

Since "Red Cliff", Wu Yusen has not had a movie released for five years, and for a director, no movie is released, just like actors who do not appear on the big screen and TV, it is easy to be forgotten by the audience.

After being silent for a few years, Wu Yusen reappeared in the public's field of vision this time, full of confidence.

Especially looking at the full theater hall at the scene, densely packed with people, nearly 100 reporters, and senior executives of major companies in the circle all attended, which made Wu Yusen more confident.

An ordinary director, an ordinary movie, can the premiere have such a grand occasion?

At the premiere ceremony, Wu Yusen introduced his film in high spirits.

"The Taiping Wheel" is an epic disaster blockbuster, and it is also an unforgettable romantic love, but it is not only that, the movie reflects the rise and fall and changes of history by portraying the emotions of the characters, seeing the big from the small......

There is a lot of chatter, and each actor also expresses his own thoughts and boasts.

Kim Sung-mo: When I read the script, my eyes were red, and I cried while reading it.

Wang Xiaoming: After filming the blasting scene, there was sand all over the place when I took a shower

is basically how touching the plot is, how awesome the special effects are, and how hard the filming is.

Then there is the media link, a blockbuster, in the highly competitive schedule, the box office of the movie is naturally indispensable.

"Hello Director Wu, "Taiping Wheel" is your first directorial film after "Red Cliff", is it because of the failure of "Red Cliff" that you have not made a new film, is it because you are worried about box office failure?"

A reporter asked unceremoniously.

Someone found fault, Wu Yusen was a little unhappy, but he still smiled, ""Taiping Wheel" is a standard blockbuster, which requires a lot of time to prepare, I am not only responsible for the investor's money, but also responsible for the audience. ”

""Detective Chinatown 2" has a box office of nearly 800 million in seven days, how much does Director Wu think "Taiping Wheel" can get under the impact of "Detective Chinatown 2"?"

"Taiping Wheel" invested more than 400 million, I spent nearly a year carving the script, striving for perfection in sets, costumes, props, and several actors also gave their most wonderful performances, I think such a "Taiping Wheel" will satisfy the audience, our expectation is 1.5 billion, I think our entire crew has paid for two or three years, and it is worth 1.5 billion at the box office. ”

1.5 billion!

Wu Yusen's opening is a number that is almost unattainable by ordinary movies, and it also made the reporters at the scene shine.

For a movie, the movie itself and the box office are definitely the most concerned, and any big director, as long as the box office hits the street, will inevitably attract a lot of scolding and criticism.

"Hello Director Wu, is 1.5 billion a box office or a box office of the upper and lower parts combined?"

"Of course it's a box office!" Wu Yusen said with confidence, ""The Peace Wheel" has been well received at the Cannes Film Festival before, and has sold the rights in many countries one after another."

His minimum goal is 1 billion, and 1.5 billion is the ultimate goal, and he always wants to win the box office champion of the Chinese New Year!

As for 2 billion, breaking Tang An's record, Wu Yusen is no longer so arrogant after the loss of "Red Cliff", thinking that he can easily win a super high box office with his reputation as a Hollywood director.

To say that it is difficult to hear is that I have a B number in my heart, after all, there are four blockbusters released in a month in a month, and it will inevitably share the box office.

But Tang An is not there, and now the biggest opponent is Tang An's "Detective Chinatown 2".

It's just that Tang An can't do it, but in the face of Tang An's movies, Wu Yusen has the confidence to win.

Even if the previous work broke one billion, and now it exceeds 700 million in seven days, Wu Yusen is still full of confidence in his own movie that is more exciting and in-depth than "Titanic".

......

On the stage, Wu Yusen responded to the reporters' questions one after another, but several investors and distributors in the audience were not as confident as Wu Yusen.

Wu Yusen is the contracted director of Pony, and "Taiping Wheel" is also the main investment of Pony, so in terms of Pony's current situation, he can't afford to fail at all.

After Li Ming's death, his wife Jin Yan managed the crumbling company alone, although she also hoped that the movie would be a big hit, and it would sell to a box office of 1.5 billion as Wu Yusen said, which was undoubtedly a life-saving elixir for ponies.

However, the siege of the three blockbusters before and after, especially "Detective Chinatown 2", is menacing, coupled with the fact that big directors have hit the streets one after another in recent years, and the rapid rise of new directors, making the appeal of those famous directors far less than before, Jin Yan does not have much confidence.

However, fortunately, the guarantee has been sold, at least it will not be a loss.

Zhang Zhao won this series with a guarantee of 800 million, and the more he exceededs, the more follow-up shares he had, but he didn't expect to get 1.5 billion in the first part.

When I was first guaranteeing, I thought it would be good if a film could have more than 500 million, but after a year or two, Zhao Wei and Deng Chao's movies sold 700 million, Wu Jing's films sold 800 million, and Han Han sold 600 million, and his goal gradually rose and was set at the threshold of 1 billion.

is also a famous director, and he has made so many classic movies, and his fame is there.

As for the 1.5 billion... Zhang Zhao didn't think that if the first part won a billion box office and had a good reputation, then it would not be impossible for the second part to win 1.5 billion.

Wang Zhongjun and Kang Pei also have the same idea, even if they break one billion, even if they succeed, three opponents of the same level, no matter how high they are, it is too difficult.

Otherwise, Campex would not have studied for more than half a month because of a schedule, if he really had such a big confidence, how could he be so troublesome, and he was afraid of colliding with other movies.

Wu Yusen must not have imagined that his teammates had no confidence in him.

If you know what they think, you probably have to curse "pig teammates" in your heart.
