Chapter 157: Premiere Day
"Effort" is one of the most hypocritical things in the whole world, an excuse for the successful and a consolation for the loser. Unfortunately, however, hard work is necessary, and it is an investment that you have to pay even if you know that you will lose all your money.
At least, that's how Su Yun understands it now.
Successful people will never tell others how they are successful, the details, the areas that need attention, how to do it, etc., they will only tell you how hard they worked, and "effort" is just a weed used to hide their path to success in order to make it impossible for others to approach them.
Even after they fail, losers will comfort themselves in the form of eulogizing their youth, and they have no regrets.
March 15 is the premiere day of "Journey to the West".
At the premiere ceremony, reporters from all walks of life who were pushing and shouting had already crowded the entire hall, and when everyone was looking forward to it, all the crew members of "Journey to the West" appeared on the stage.
Su Yun and Director Ji walked in the front, followed by Zhu Yongxin and several of his important roles, as well as other staff members, but the role of the second great sage snatching relatives was not present, because although the two movies are similar sequels, they are not premiered on the same day after all.
There were many people at this premiere, and the most eye-catching one was Ji Xueqin.
As the gold medal agent of the original diva, in some respects, her fame is even higher than that of Feng Yajun, and the media is one of them.
You must know that the media generally wants to interview people of the level of divas, unless it is an appointment in advance, other situations basically do not exist, and if you want to make an appointment, you will definitely not be able to bypass the broker.
So for the media, they see their agents much more often than they meet these kings and queens.
Ji Xueqin's arrival undoubtedly caused a commotion at the scene, but after all, this is the premiere of "Journey to the West", and out of quality, they did not rush to ask non-stop.
"Welcome all media and fans to attend the premiere ceremony of "Journey to the West", and I would like to express my sincere thanks to everyone for coming!" the host said.
Immediately there was a round of applause.
"Then let's enter our question session, let us applaud and invite our director and producer of the crew of "Journey to the West" Su Yunsu, and our assistant director Ji Changming, Director Ji!"
The audience immediately applauded.
Su Yun and Ji Changming stepped forward and took the microphone handed by the staff next to them.
Journalists, who were already on the move, began to bombard the issue in turn.
"Sue .... Director Su, hello, may I ask if the rumor that you directly transferred 1500 million yuan last time you speculated in stocks is true?"
"Hello Director Su, we are from Entertainment Daily, may I ask if what the Chinese Academy of Sciences said before that you solved Fermat's theorem and Goldbach's conjecture is true?"
"Hello Director Su!
A nest of reporters asked questions, Ji Changming dealt with it calmly, and everyone thought it was normal, but seeing Su Yun's calm attitude made the people on the side a little surprised.
"Journalists, please be quiet. Ji Changming pressed his hand and said, and the reporters gradually calmed down.
"This is the premiere of "Journey to the West", so we will not answer any questions that are not related to it, please ask the reporters who want to ask questions to speak one by one, thank you for your cooperation. ”
It can be said that it is worthy of Ji Changming, the on-site power is simply off the charts, and the scene that was being pushed and shouted just now became orderly and orderly in an instant.
"Director Su, according to the grapevine, the chief director of the crew of "Journey to the West" is you, and its producer is also you, the most important thing, even the screenwriter is also written by you, I want to ask if this is true?"
When this question was asked, the scene immediately began to discuss.
The director, producer, and screenwriter are all the same person? Who can have such three heads and six arms? Even the so-called biggest directors can't wear multiple hats, right?
Where did this rumor come from?
However....
"Yes, the script of "Journey to the West" is indeed written by me, and the chief director is also me, but rather than being the chief director, it is better to say that Director Ji is the chief director behind the film, if there is no Director Ji, this film would never have been filmed in such a short time today. Su Yun said lightly.
Very standardized answers are also very important at the premiere, after all, it is not wise to say something inappropriate at this time to help promote it through these media.
"Director Su, we heard that "Journey to the West" was released in two parts, is this true? What is the purpose of your doing this? Do you think this unprecedented approach is really correct?"
There was an uproar below when this question was raised, and the audience was also looking forward to Su Yun's speech.
"First of all, I can tell you that "Journey to the West" is indeed divided into two parts, and there is only a week between them.
My purpose in doing this was, of course, because one film didn't take enough time to shoot the story of my entire script, and the compression would obviously affect the quality of the film, so I decided to split it into two parts.
As for whether I did the right thing to do.... Hehe, I don't dare to assert it, but what I can guarantee is that this is a movie created by our entire crew with sincerity, and it will definitely not disappoint everyone. ”
Su Yun's speech immediately applauded the audience.
Reporters began to ask questions.
"Director Su, what about the theme song of the movie, did you write it yourself?"
"No, it was written by a friend of mine. ”
"And who's going to sing it?"
"Me and a mysterious guest. ”
"And what about your box office expectations?"
Everyone's heads were raised, waiting for the most concerning answer.
"My expectations for the box office are actually not high, as long as I can protect the capital, well.... If I had to say a number, 10 million would be about the same. Su Yun said casually.
The reporters were all stunned.
Ji Changming next to him was also obviously sluggish.
The others also whispered.
But, it's not that they think that the box office that Su Yun said is too high, but.... That's too low!
10 million, with Su Yun's usual style of acting, it is so understatement that he made 150 million yuan by speculating in stocks, and even said that he was expecting a box office of 10 million? Everyone was dumbfounded.
Today, even if Su Yun says 100 million, or even 100 million, they will not be too surprised, because since Su Yun's debut, it seems that he has always shown people in a very high style. But he suddenly became humble, and they didn't know how to deal with it.
Su Yun's answer set off a lot of discussion, but it didn't last long, and the reporters began to turn the question to Ji Changming again, and Su Yun was also idle.
Su Yun listened to Director Ji's standard answer to deal with the reporter in a hurry, and looked around with interest, and suddenly his eyes swept over Ji Xueqin's position.
At this time, there was a very old man in a suit sitting next to Ji Xueqin, who did not belong to the kind of very handsome, but very manly, his eyes were very sharp, and his facial features were particularly attractive.
Su Yun and Ji Xueqin just looked at each other, Su Yun nodded with a smile, and Ji Xueqin also nodded politely in response.
