And some people said: It seems that someone is Jiang Lang's talent, and after filming "God of Gamblers 2" in Hollywood, he actually ran back to Xiangjiang to make a ghost movie, and it is a remake, this is not a good idea! It is estimated that this time, other directors can take the opportunity to turn over.

For a long time, Wu Cheng has been the box office champion of the year since his debut, except for the song and dance art film "Taking the Wrong Car", other movies, whether it is his debut film "Drunken Fist" or the Chinese New Year film "Eight Star Annunciation".

Of course, the box office crown referred to here refers to in Xiangjiang. As for Hollywood, the year "Alien ET" was released, the box office champion was this "Alien".

But even so, starting from the movie "Shaolin Temple", he has filmed "The True Color of Heroes", "God of Gamblers", "Black Hero", "Legend of the Night", and "God of Gamblers 2...... All of them have achieved a glorious and proud front in the world, especially the movie "Legend of the Night", which directly sent him to the altar. Although there was a lot of controversy about the film, many people said that if it weren't for the film that set off a new round of feminist movement, the film wouldn't have been as high at the box office.

However, if it weren't for this movie, how could a new round of feminist movement be easily set off? Therefore, even though the quality of the movie "Tales of the Night" itself is average, it still set a historical box office record and pushed him to the altar.

However, now this "A Chinese Ghost Story" doesn't look like a movie that can hit the box office, and even those who want to support him can't think of any good reason to refute those who sing down. After all, the limitations of horror movies are not comparable to other films in the first place.

You must know that in the field of horror films, in the past few years, some horror films have been regarded as high-grossing movies if they can have a box office of two or three million dollars, which is very promising and can create a series of movies.

In fact, in the field of horror films, most of the investment is not high, and the box office can have 20 or 30 million, which is completely a big profit. Especially in North America, in addition to box office revenue, video tape rentals and sales are the bulk of these film revenues.

Many people gave some examples, such as the horror film "Heavenly Master Fighting Zombies" released in North America last year, which grossed more than 20 million at the box office, which made those investors and creators all smile, because the movie made money. But compared to "God of Gamblers 2" directed by Wu Cheng, it is a small thing, not even a fraction of "God of Gamblers 2".

As for the past ten years, among the horror films, "Jaws", "The Exorcist", etc., which have a very good box office, have a box office of one or two hundred million, but "Jaws" is a sci-fi horror film!

As for "The Exorcist", it is a Western horror film, which is very different from "A Chinese Ghost Story", a horror film with oriental fantasy colors.

Does the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" have the same potential as "The Exorcist"?

Basically, it's hard!

Even if it can be compared with "The Exorcist", it is still far from "God of Gamblers 2", right?

So, you can imagine what kind of situation the box office will be like when the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" is released! No matter how well Wu shoots, limited by horror films, the box office of this movie will definitely not be beautiful in the future.

Then someone said: In fact, with the participation of him and Wu, no matter how bad the box office of this horror movie is, it will definitely not be able to lose money. Because he also has many fans who pay for him.

These words are somewhat heart-wrenching, and it is Wu's heart.

As if to say that he brazenly consumes the potential of his fans.

Then as soon as these people analyzed it, those who originally wanted to support a certain master didn't know how to defend it all of a sudden.

Some people even wonder, why is it a horror film? There is really no script to make it, so it's better to make a literary film! And isn't there still two literary film scripts on the DreamWorks side?

There have been rumors that he is going to film "The Shawshank Redemption", but as a result, this matter has been passed on and on, but it has not become true.

Even if it is filming "The Shawshank Redemption", it is better than running back to shoot "A Chinese Ghost Story"!

At least "The Shawshank Redemption" is an art film, very connotative, worthy of people's reminiscence and deep thought, even if the box office is not good at the time, it can still win awards, right?

Moreover, on the Hollywood side, although he has proven that he has the strength to win a high box office, he has not yet proved his strength in the artistry of the movie!

Could it be that at this time, he shouldn't make another art film to prove his artistic accomplishment and depth of thought?

……

After reading the comments in the media, Wu couldn't help laughing.

Speaking of which, in terms of the artistry of the movie, he is not too worried about the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", at least this movie has won many awards in the original time and space.

Especially some international awards.

Although these awards are not very famous, at least, this movie has been recognized by some foreigners. This can be regarded as an export of Chinese culture and has made some contributions.

Wu Cheng believes that this movie will be made by him and acted by him, which will be more well-known than the original time and space. After all, his fame is much greater than that of Leslie Cheung and Cheng Xiaodong in the original time and space.

Whether as an actor or as a director, he is now internationally well-known. Although as an actor, he has not won any awards, and his acting skills have also been criticized by many people, but his popularity is not covered.

The box office of a movie and the popularity of the actors play a very big role.

At least when the audience doesn't know how the movie is, when they see a very well-known actor joining, they will be willing to take a look.

And as long as the quality of the movie is passable by then, then there will be no problem.

This is also the reason why in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry in the 90s, only a few well-known actors got together and made a random film to sell the movie in advance.

Because, this is the idol effect!

It is undeniable that he Wu is an idol now, and he is the world's highest idol.

Yes, he still has some confidence in the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story".

But just because he has faith doesn't mean that others have it.

When such public opinion became more and more numerous after a few days of fermentation, the situation became almost one-sided, and some of those who strongly supported Wu could not say that those who sang the praises were gone.

After holding on for a few days, and seeing that Wu Cheng really didn't have any 'follow-up plans', his secretary captain Amy, a little unbearable, found an opportunity, and quietly asked him: "My dear, do you want me to arrange some reporters to do an exclusive interview with the crew to suppress those public opinions?"

A certain master looked at her with some amusement, "Interview, what interview, ask about the filming progress of this movie, or take some on-set photos of the actors?"

He shook his head and chuckled: "These are just to increase the exposure of this play, those who should sing how to decline, still sing how to sing, it's useless." On the day of the start-up press conference, the bull beeps that should be blown have already been blown out, so what's the use of blowing it now. Moreover, it doesn't really matter what others say. ”

"It doesn't matter?" she didn't understand what he was thinking.

"Well, I need those people to put the momentum of "A Chinese Ghost Story" under pressure. ”

"Wort?"

In fact, what Amy wanted to say was what a certain old man said before: Do you have a watt in your brain?

Wu Cheng smiled: "Now more and more people are singing about it, which means that its exposure has not decreased, and more and more people will know about it and know that I am making such a movie." ”

He said, looked at Amy, and said with a smile: "You also know that the higher the box office results of "God of Gamblers 2", the higher the expectations of my fans will be for me, and even those ordinary viewers will be very excited about my new movie, looking forward to me to create another miracle." But how can it be so easy to create another miracle? If I want to create a classic character, this is easy to say. But if you want to create another miracle at the box office, it is basically impossible. Although the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" is good, it is not enough to break out at such a high box office, and its commerciality is not as high as the "God of Gamblers" series. ”

Although Amy has seen them shoot on the set, and she also thinks that Wang Xiaoxian's outfit is really beautiful and attractive, but the picture she saw during filming is very different from the picture that has been produced in post-production.

When shooting on location, it's hard to create certain atmospheres, but the images in post-production are different. After the addition of some background music, some pictures that look ordinary, under the creation of the atmosphere, will make people feel very touched, and even make people feel moved.

The picture is already beautiful, but when you see it, you will feel even more beautiful.

Therefore, Wu Cheng said this, and Amy is not easy to refute, after all, this field is what he is good at, and she is not good at it.

He looked at her with a smile and said, "So, I need those people to continue to belittle the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", and then everyone's sense of expectation will be reduced, but the popularity of this movie will not be low." When it is released in the future, but the audience's expectations for it are not so high, it will definitely be a surprise to watch the movie again. ”

When Amy heard this, she was a little confused, could the movie still be so promoted?

What kind of propaganda is this? Is there anything similar in the history of cinema?

Amy doesn't know!

But she knows that if it is as he said, the box office of this movie may be able to break the box office record of horror movies in the future!

However, she didn't know that in Wu's mind, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was not a horror movie at all, although it had a horror and thriller atmosphere.

Its core is actually love!
