Chapter 1024: "Black Man" Breaks the Record
"Director Wu, why didn't you hold a press conference when your new film started filming? Is it because you don't have much confidence in this movie, so you are so low-key?"
"Principal Wu, the movie "Black Man" has now broken the box office record in Xiangjiang, and it has won a high box office of nearly 300 million US dollars in North America, and now its global total box office is close to 750 million US dollars, do you think its final box office is expected to exceed 800 million US dollars, creating a new world box office record?"
Although the movie "Black Man" is released simultaneously around the world, in fact, there are still some places that can't be truly synchronized, and there are always some places that will be a little later, because there are still some places around the world that are showing this movie, and there are still a few theaters in North America. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, it is not an easy task to break the record of 'aliens', and it is estimated that it is a problem to exceed 800 million.
Now the global box office of "Alien ET" has exceeded 800 million, which is stronger than the original time and space, and it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to break this record.
In fact, during this period, the total box office exceeded 800 million, which is actually a very crazy achievement. During this period, there was a box office of more than 800 million in the history of global films, and there was only one "Alien ET". Now the movie "Black Man" is only more than 40 million away from this hurdle, so how can it not be exciting.
If this record can be broken, then, imagine that the global box office record was actually occupied by a Xiangjiang movie, how can Hollywood movies be embarrassed?
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is basically impossible for "Black Man" to break the box office record of "Alien ET". Even if it hasn't been released in some countries yet, it's good to have a million dollars at the box office in each of these countries.
There are more than 10 million in one country, even if there are 10 small countries, there are only more than 10 million.
Of course, those who think this way are basically those who have some understanding of the cinema situation in various countries, and most people still feel that there is a chance when they see that there is only a gap of forty or fifty million.
"Director Wu, the box office of the movie "Black Man" has surpassed the "Shaolin Temple" you made at the beginning, setting a new record for the global box office of Xiangjiang films, so, do you think you can break this record with the movie you are making now?"
These are some of the questions asked by the entertainers who flocked to Budapest when they 'caught' Wu someone. It's not easy to 'catch' someone Wu!
However, this is just Wu someone volunteering to stand up and let them bump into it. If these entertainment notes are not solved, it is estimated that when filming in the future, there will definitely be reporters who come to take pictures from time to time.
In fact, in the past two days, the crew security has caught several such reporters.
In addition, Cameron is also coming, and Wu Cheng ran out of the crew to greet Cameron who came from North America. At the same time, it is also to answer some questions from those entertainers, and send these people away first. In fact, what he really wanted to get rid of was the wife of the assistant director who had a small temper. It's just that after thinking about it, he didn't do this kind of thing that would be blamed to death by her in the future.
In addition, he also wanted Lin Qingxia to take over this series in the future, so even though she was a little petty, he still endured it. If you don't look at your wife, you have to look at your children!
Wu Cheng didn't go to the airport to pick up Cameron, and when Cameron came over in a business car, he happened to see Wu Cheng surrounded by those entertainers on the third floor and the outer three floors.
Then Cameron secretly winked at him and slipped into the crew.
And Wu Cheng stayed to face these entertainments.
"The main reason why the new film does not hold a press conference is to save trouble, you know, I am very lazy, and when I can be lazy, I naturally try to be lazy. ”
Of course, this is not the main reason, the main reason is to keep it mysterious and not want people to know what kind of subject he is shooting.
In this way, it is much better than directly telling everyone what he wants to shoot, let everyone guess for themselves, and it can be regarded as a warm-up for the new film.
Because of this "Legend of the Night", in the original time and space, its box office has not exceeded 100 million. Although for a rookie director, the box office results of more than 90 million, and it is also a movie with a vampire theme, it is actually very good.
However, if he Wu Chenglai shoots it, or such a box office result, it is a failure.
How could someone Wu tolerate such a failure?
Therefore, in addition to trying to improve the movie as much as possible, so that the scenes of the movie look more handsome and cool, and the plot is more compact, the best way is actually to promote the movie.
There are many ways to promote a movie, and one of them is to keep the movie mysterious and let the audience guess for themselves.
And vampire-themed movies, in the original time and space, basically the box office will not be too high, except for the love magic movie "Twilight" in the guise of vampires in later generations.
However, now this "Tale of the Night" can subvert the previous vampire films, making vampire movies from 'super' to 'ordinary gunfight', and this transformation is likely to become a failed experiment. After all, at this time, vampire movies have not gone through the baptism of so many films, and the audience has not gone through the poison of so many vampire movies.
After all, this movie was shot twenty years earlier than the original time and space, and it is indeed unknown whether the audience can accept such a change. So it is very likely that if he is not careful, this "Legend of the Night" will become his Waterloo in the film industry.
"As for the movie "Black Man", I am naturally very happy to have such box office results as it is now. As for whether it can break the box office record of 'Alien', although I also hope that it can, in fact, this possibility is not very large, after all, there is still a big gap now!"
It's a difference of five or six million dollars at the box office!
This number is not very big for their total box office, but in fact, such a gap is the gap of an ordinary Hollywood film.
An ordinary Hollywood film can have a box office of five or six million dollars, and it is basically a successful movie.
Therefore, the possibility of exceeding this record can only be imagined.
But in the eyes of outsiders, after all, it is Wu Cheng's movie, which is still very promising, as long as he stands up and calls on fans to let this record pile up.
However, it is obvious that Wu did not plan to do this, otherwise, he would no longer be involved in the promotion work after the movie was released.
After all, the difference of fifty or sixty million dollars is not so easy to 'heap'.
After a pause, Wu Cheng said again: "As for the second part of "Black Man" that everyone is looking forward to, it will definitely start filming in the future, but the audience may have to wait for a while." As for how long this time will be, I don't know, because in my next plan, there is also the movie "God of Gamblers 2" to be made, in addition, there is also a racing movie. ”
Wu Cheng estimates that it may be difficult for "Black Man 2" to have the box office results of "Black Man 1".
Racing movies, naturally, are "Fast and Furious", it can be said that "Fast and Furious" and "God of Gamblers 2" can be said to be "promotional films", one is to promote Thunder Motors, and the other is to promote Huaxia Entertainment City in Las Vegas.
In Wu Cheng's view, this is definitely more important than "Black Man 2", because "Black Man 2" can't drive so much peripheral business, but "Fast and Furious" and "God of Gamblers 2" can.
Wu Cheng revealed this information, and for those entertainers, although it can't be regarded as a blockbuster, it is enough to make them happy.
The only thing that is not very satisfied is that Wu Cheng actually stopped talking about his new film.
"As for my new film, please let me sell it first. All I can say is that this is a movie with a female lead, and men will definitely like it, and women should be no exception!"
is such a simple sentence, and as a result, everyone's sense of expectation was raised by him.
After sending these reporters away, Wu Cheng turned back to the crew.
"Hey, Cheng, you're so busy!" Cameron said with a smile, and his eyes gestured to the heroine Zhong Chuhong and assistant director Lin Qingxia, meaning something.
Wu Cheng rolled his eyes at him wordlessly, then hugged him, punched him in the chest, and scolded with a smile: "Man, I called you over, but I didn't let you complain about me." ”
"Come, let me introduce you, I won't introduce these two, you also know, other Hollywood actors, I guess you will not be a stranger, Bridges has worked together. I would like to introduce you to this one, Yuan Kui, Corey Yuan. He's our action director, if you have any inspiration for the action, you can also bring it up with him, and we can add it up. ”
"Aquely, this is James Cameron, Hollywood director ......"
Wu Cheng introduced Cameron to Yuan Kui.
Yuan Kui smiled: "I know him! "Ghost Love" followed you as an assistant director, and then filmed "Terminator" and "Modern Mermaid", both of which achieved good results. ”
"Hello, Yuan!" Cameron hugged him.
Yuan Kui is no stranger to the hug ceremony of Westerners, after all, there are quite a lot of Westerners on the side of the Xiangjiang River, and even sometimes when they meet some women with distinguished status, they have to kiss their hands.
After introducing Cameron to everyone, Wu Cheng directly threw the script of "Legend of the Night" to him, and then said to him: "You familiarize yourself with the script first, let's continue filming, and we'll discuss any problems in the evening." But I hope you get started soon. ”
Hearing this, assistant director Lin Qingxia's small mouth couldn't help but pouted slightly.
Obviously, she felt that this was a certain master's ability to distrust her. Although she occasionally plays a little trick, after all, she is also a person who has directed two films independently, isn't she qualified enough to be an assistant director for him? He actually believes an outsider and doesn't believe her!
