Chapter 455: To Jump or Not to Jump?
A reporter asked Zhu Haibo a more acute question, at this time, of course, media reporters are not too big to see the excitement, if there is no excitement to see, they must also find a way to create some excitement.
"I never play that kind of boring and brain-dead gambling game with people, if that beam-jumping clown has to use his bad movie or some bullshit "Alien" to PK with my "Earth Defense War", then he must want to take advantage of the situation to hype, I will not let him succeed. In addition, I would like to reiterate once again that "Earth Defense War", which invested one billion yuan and later increased to 1.5 billion yuan, aims not only at the domestic box office, but also at the European and American box office, the world box office, and then wins various awards at international film festivals! As for losing at the box office to a shoddy and bad film, do you think it is possible?" Zhu Haibo continued with a disdainful expression.
"Director Zhu, some words may not be listened to, you keep saying that Wang Qian wants to use your momentum to hype, but according to our comprehensive analysis, Wang Qian, who has been on the "Time Weekly" of the United States four times, and is known to gamers in the European and American world, is more than one level more than one level more famous than you in China and the world, how can he do anything to take advantage of your momentum? Whether you admit it or not, we think that you invited him at the beginning, and then suddenly broke the contract to use his momentum to hype "Earth Defense War". Another reporter stood up and raised it to Zhu Haibo in a sharper tone.
This reporter is not speaking for Wang Qian, they are purely professional, the purpose is to sow discord between the two sides, it is best to get a bet or something like that, they reporters will have a good show, and the press release in the next few days will not worry about the content.
"Isn't the "Time Weekly" in the United States remarkable? Because he often makes all kinds of radical anti-Western remarks, he is regarded as a clown by the Western world, and letting him appear in the "Time Weekly" is just a clown for the whole Western world to watch for fun.
"Since Director Zhu is so confident in "Earth Defense War", he is not worried about losing to "Alien" at the global box office, so why don't you dare to say a cruel word, we don't talk about live broadcast Xiang, don't talk about live broadcast cutting JJ, only say that if the global box office of "Earth Defense War" is lower than that of "Alien", how about Director Zhu run a few laps on Shaojing Street?" Another reporter mentioned that if there is a fight Wang involved, don't bet on anything, it feels like something is missing.
"I repeat once again, "Earth Defense War" does not disdain to compare with some bad domestic films, such as "Alien" at the box office, our goal is the European and American box office! But if you have to let me bet, it is okay, it is better to compare the global cumulative total box office of "Earth Defense War" and "Alien", if I lose, I will jump from the roof of the Empire State Building in the United States! But the premise is that the clown who jumps off the beam dares to make this bet! If he loses, he will also jump from the roof of the Empire State Building in the United States! " Zhu Haibo suddenly changed his head and actually took the initiative. Jumped into the trap set by the reporter.
However, it is not surprising that from the beginning of inviting Wang Qian and Tang Jing to join, Zhu Haibo had the intention of using Wang Qian's popularity to create heat and hot topics for "Earth Defense", but he refused to admit it in public and blamed the investor.
Now that the two films are about to be released, pulling Wang Qian to make a bet will naturally make "Earth Defense" make headlines in China for free for several days, and with Wang Qian's influence, it may also cause some international impact, so although his words were so big and high-sounding, at the critical moment, he still exposed his dark psychology of wanting to rub Wang Qian's popularity.
And Zhu Haibo has the confidence to win, and even thinks that it is a rolling victory, so he will take the initiative to provoke this bet.
Behind Zhu Haibo is the swollen chrysanthemum, which has a film bureau to directly manage the film business of Huaguo, "Alien" and "Earth Defense" were released at the same time, as long as the bloated chrysanthemum makes some small tricks in private, he can greatly suppress "Alien" in the film schedule and the time slot;
Not only that, when rice and European blockbusters are released in China, they must pass the review of the bare belly, so the bare swelling chrysanthemum can also put forward exchange conditions with the other party, so that these rice blockbusters can help "Earth Defense War" to promote in the European and American markets, and at the same time give a certain commitment to the scheduling rate of European and American theaters.
With the escort of the swollen chrysanthemum, whether it is the box office of China, or the box office of Europe and the United States, Zhu Haibo has nothing to worry about, although the Ministry of Culture behind Wang Qian is not small, but the Ministry of Culture does not have a film bureau like the swollen chrysanthemum, and the Ministry of Culture does not care about the specific affairs of the electric circle, and there is no way to directly direct instructions to the theaters across the country, nor can it exchange interests with foreign box offices.
The most important point is that Zhu Haibo's "Earth Defense War" has an investment of 1.5 billion, with a large number of first-line stars at home and abroad, while Wang Qian's "Alien" is more like an online movie, with a small production of tens of millions, and a grass stage team, except for Wang Qian and Tang Jing, who are somewhat famous, other actors have no popularity at all.
What's even funnier is that Wang Qian is a host, Tang Jing is a singer, and other so-called actors...... They are all a group of colleagues in Wang Qian's company! They think that making movies is tourism? A few people can just read a few lines to the camera?
Another point, Wang Qian's reputation in the Western world is so stinky, a little incitement can make Western audiences boycott him, no one watches his movies, and he still has a fart box office?
Therefore, whether it is in terms of hardware, software, whether it is a big environment or a small environment, whether it is the right time and place or people, "Earth Defense War" comprehensively suppresses "Alien" in all aspects, and it is easy to win "Alien" at the global box office.
Zhu Haibo first suppressed and then raised at the press conference, first expressing his disdain for competing with a clown like Wang Qian, and then under the reporters' 'soft grinding and hard bubbles', he 'reluctantly' agreed to the bet with Wang Qian, that is, to save his face, and also used Wang Qian's popularity to the extreme for his "Earth Defense War".
In this regard, Zhu Haibo believes that he has a much higher IQ and a much more clever means than Wang Qian's previous opponents, Xu Yaheng, Chen Jiadong, and Xie Yuanming.
Sure enough, what Zhu Haibo said just now made the reporters at the scene boil suddenly.
That's what they want! "Earth Defense" and "Alien" were released at the same time, and the two sides were obviously at odds, and if they didn't bet on anything, their press releases would be too unattractive to readers and audiences.
And Zhu Haibo gambled a lot! Jumping from the roof of the Empire State Building! What could be more eye-catching?
"Director Zhu, what you just said about jumping from the roof of the Empire State Building, do you mean jumping over the railing from the top of the building, turning head down, and falling straight onto the street 381 meters below, breaking your brain and breaking your brain?
"Of course!" Zhu Haibo has confidence in the box office of "Earth Defense War", and he will naturally be full of confidence at this time, no matter whether Wang Qian dares to accept this bet or not, his goal of hyping "Earth Defense War" has been achieved.
Can this kind of thing not make headlines?
Wang Qian will definitely not dare to accept this bet, and he will definitely lose if he does.
If Wang Qian doesn't accept and directly admits defeat, he Zhu Haibo will become the only person who makes Wang Qian not even dare to bet and admit defeat directly, if Wang Qian takes this bet, Wang Qian will undoubtedly lose, and when the time comes, will he jump or not jump in the Empire State Building?
If he doesn't jump, Wang Qian will lose his trust in the world, what face will he have to face the world in the future?
If he jumps, it is equivalent to him Zhu Haibo getting rid of a big public nuisance for the Western world, and his reputation in the Western world has also risen all of a sudden, maybe he can also be on "Time Weekly", fame and fortune, investors who are looking for him to make films are afraid that they will break through the threshold, and they will wake up laughing when they think about it!
……
The press conference for "Alien" was half an hour behind "Defense of the Earth".
The two press conferences were held in two cities, and the same media outlet sent two groups of reporters to attack separately, and then the two sides kept in touch by phone at all times.
"May I ask Mr. Wang, what do you think of the box office of "Alien" and "Earth Defense...... Are you confident in the competition between the domestic box office and the foreign box office?" the reporter asked Wang Qian, and the level of questions asked by these reporters was like this, and they asked these questions all over again.
"Well, these two films are an attempt by Chinese films to go global, to spread Chinese culture to the world, no matter who has a high box office, as long as they can occupy a place in the world film market, it is a victory for the Chinese film industry and Chinese culture. Wang Qian answered reporters' questions.
""Alien" and "Earth Defense War" were released at the same time, isn't it just to compete at the box office? Teacher Wang doesn't seem to be very interested in who wins and who loses? This doesn't seem to be Teacher Wang's style!" The reporter was very sensitive to find that Wang Qian seemed to be a little lacking in confidence.
"Does it matter whether you win or lose? Chinese films used to be played behind closed doors in China, but now they have finally taken steps towards the world, and I hope that there will be more movies like "Earth Defense" and "Alien", going abroad and PK with world films, only with more such PK, Chinese films can really occupy a place in the world film industry and better export Chinese culture to the world. Wang Qian's expression continued to be very indifferent.
