Chapter 1238 The Disaster Is His Fault, Who Will Bear the Blame If He Doesn't Take the Blame?
"Principal Wu, the global box office of "God of Gamblers 2" has exceeded 600 million, and it looks like it is about to run for 700 million, and if it is converted to Hong Kong dollars, it will be 5 or 6 billion. This kind of box office performance is beyond the reach of other directors in Hong Kong, and even in Hollywood, it is also rare......"
At the launch conference of "A Chinese Ghost Story", in the reporter's questioning session, a reporter first slapped Wu's ass, and then continued: "But why don't you continue to film in Hollywood, President Wu, but come back to make a horror movie?"
Principal Wu looked at him with a smile and said with a smile: "First of all, I have to state that this movie is not a simple horror movie. Haven't you seen the Shaw Brothers version of "A Chinese Ghost Story"? This is just a remake, and the theme is also taken from Mr. Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai". You haven't even seen 'Chatting', have you?"
Zhongyu Ji chuckled, and the Yu Ji was a little embarrassed.
After a pause, he added: "I think it's more inclined to emotional movies like "Ghost Love". As for why I don't continue to make movies in Hollywood, the reason is very simple, I love this story, and I want to make it and present it to everyone, and share this happiness with me. Of course, if the movie does well at the box office in the future, I will be very happy. But if making movies is just for a high box office, then I might as well do my business with peace of mind, making money in industry is faster than making movies, and the risk is not as high as movies. ”
In the eyes of all, this is the big truth!
It is very difficult for ordinary people to make a lot of money! The initial accumulation stage of capital is never an easy task. However, for those who have money, it is much less difficult to make money with money. Many people have ideas, but are stuck in not having the funds. But rich people, as long as they have enough ideas, can make money with money at any time.
Everyone knows that President Wu is a very thoughtful entrepreneur, otherwise he would not have been able to lay such a large fortune in just ten years.
And making movies, the risk will naturally not be small, and the collapse of many film companies is the result of not investing in a movie!
So, in everyone's opinion, there is nothing wrong with him saying this!
But only Wu himself knows that what he said is all fooling people.
Because the movies he made were all proven by the audience in the original time and space.
As long as he doesn't come up with the wrong script at the wrong time, the result will basically not be too bad. And the reason why he likes to make movies, although the factor of interest is in it, but his actual original intention is just to facilitate the goddess.
Although with his current net worth and status, as long as he is willing, he can hook his fingers casually, and the goddesses he knew in the previous life will basically be willing to run over to slap him and flatter him.
But if that were the case, it would be a lot less fun.
Moreover, in that case, he would feel that the goddess had taken a fancy to him only because of the money in his pocket. He felt that he was a man who could attract goddesses with his talents.
It's pretentious, isn't it?
But he just likes it!
"Principal Wu, you have made a fantasy movie like "Ghost Love" a long time ago. So, what is the difference between this "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The Love of People and Ghosts"? These two are both about the love story between people and ghosts!"
"Of course, there are similarities, but when it comes to it, it's not much, at most it's the setting of emotions between humans and ghosts, which just looks similar. ”
Wu Cheng smiled and continued: "Anyone who has watched 'Liao Zhai' knows that the heroine of this movie is a female ghost, and in "Human Ghost Love", the male protagonist is a ghost. "Ghost Love" tells the story of modern society, where the male protagonist is the female protagonist and the female protagonist used to be boyfriend and girlfriend. But "A Chinese Ghost Story" is different...... Ahem, that, I won't continue to spoil here, keep it a little mysterious. In short, this is a movie that is very different from "The Love of People and Ghosts", and its system is oriental fantasy, not fantasy. ”
The difference between fantasy and fantasy has been explained by Wu in "Infinite Fantasy World", so it is not difficult for these reporters to understand.
This explanation is more important for those foreign media reporters to understand.
In fact, many Xiangjiang reporters have watched 'Liao Zhai'.
"Principal Wu, Miss Wang Xiaoxian is not very old, do you believe that she can handle this role?" A reporter glanced at Wang Xiaoxian and asked someone Wu.
Wu Cheng glanced at Wang Xiaoxian with a smile and said, "Xiaoxian's age is indeed very young, but you don't think that you look down on others because of your young age, my youth is not too young!"
Hearing Wu's answer, those reporters were left with 'hehe'.
When he debuted, he was only fifteen years old...... This is the age known to the outside world, in fact, his biological age at that time was only twelve years old, but the age of his soul was already in his twenties.
If it weren't for the fact that the soul of an adult man lived in his young body, how could he have so many evil thoughts about a 'sister' in his early twenties?
Therefore, using age to measure a person, especially in front of someone Wu, this is simply to put your face up and beg for a ravage!
As a result, they are still in the 'hehe', Wu Dazui...... Oh no, Principal Wu began to speak wildly again: "I am confident that the image of this character she plays will become a sign of the times, and when people in later generations mention the image of female ghosts, they can't help but think of her!"
Very good!
All the reporters were excited, and Wu Dazui ...... No, Principal Wu is boasting about Haikou again.
How many people waited for this moment to wait until the flowers were gone? Everyone thought that he was now low-key, and he didn't say those arrogant words to attract attention, and he became sleek because of time and the world...... As a result, everyone was wrong, this guy is still so arrogant, and he still has such a big mouth!
Still, everybody loved it!
If he was just a very ordinary person in the entertainment industry, it is estimated that everyone would not mind giving him a nickname like 'Wu Dazui'.
But unfortunately, if such a nickname were placed on him, it would be too inconsistent, and his female fans would tear them apart like crazy.
When the filming of "The True Color of Heroes" started, he did not say such things, when the filming of "Black Man" started, he was not so arrogant, and when the filming of "Tales of the Night" started, he was also very low-key...... Why did he have to be so flamboyant when the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" started?
Is it just to attract attention and popularity?
But does he need it?
Some people couldn't understand him, especially the crew members who sat next to him.
At this time, there was an invisible pressure on them, especially Wang Xiaoxian, who was sitting on Wu Cheng's right hand, she was also looking at him curiously, although there was pressure, but when he was there, she felt very relieved, because she knew that the sky was falling, and he was on top!
All the entertainers looked at him with burning eyes, is this movie really so good?
Well, once they had this idea, Wu's purpose was actually achieved.
It sounds arrogant, but looking at all the films he made, which one is not a classic?
So, at first glance, it sounds like he's bragging! But if you think about it, maybe this will be another classic! Otherwise, where would he have such strong confidence?
But even so, the entertainment reporters are still very cool, and the sales of this issue of the newspaper don't have to worry. They are cool, and those black fans of Wu are also cool, this guy is bragging again!
These people are cool, Wu is naturally cool, someone is naturally happy, someone has advertised this movie for free!
While everyone was excited, the questions became more enthusiastic.
"Principal Wu, according to rumors, there were many actresses competing for the role of the second female lead in this play, including many first-line movie stars like Miss Zhang Manyu, but why did the crew choose Miss Zhang Meng, a student of the art academy who was not famous before?"
If it weren't for someone Wu who really couldn't be offended, he would definitely not ask this, but asked directly: [Is there any inside story here?]
There are unspoken rules everywhere, especially in the entertainment industry.
Wu laughed lightly when he heard this, looked at Zhang Mian, who was sitting next to Wang Xiaoxian, who was a little nervous, and said with a smile: "Although the casting work is done by Director Cheng, although I am very surprised by the actor he chose, I am also very satisfied! Moreover, Zhang Manyu has never had any acting experience before starring in "God of Gamblers". ”
"What does Principal Wu mean is that Miss Zhang Meng is also a genius like Zhang Manyu?"
"I think, this question should be asked to Director Cheng!"
How dare he casually say that Zhang Mian has a genius like Zhang Manyu? In the original time and space, Zhang Mian is indeed a goddess in the minds of countless men, sexy, bewitching, and has an excellent temperament and appearance.
But if you really compare with Zhang Manyu, you will definitely be completely blown up by Zhang Manyu in terms of acting skills. Zhang Manyu will be an international actress in the future, and she will be a soft-handed actress who wins awards.
Therefore, he casually threw the pot to Cheng Xiaodong.
The disaster is caused by him, who will bear the blame if he doesn't take the blame?
Cheng Xiaodong took the microphone and said with a smile: "A very important reason for choosing Miss Zhang Meng to play this role is that she gave us a bright feeling when she auditioned, and we all felt that she was very suitable for the role in the script." Moreover, our Principal Wu is the best at teaching these actors who have not yet been finalized in performance, so although she has no acting experience, I believe that Principal Wu will not disappoint everyone. ”
After a pause, he added: "What's more, Miss Zhang Meng is also a student of the Academy of Arts. ”
