Chapter 1196: I Think, the Director Just Wants to Be Lazy!

(Three watches, ask for votes!)

"So, what about Sylvester's Rocky 4?"

After chatting with Shirley Lansing for a while, Wu Cheng asked again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Stallone's 'Rocky Series' because without his involvement...... Even if there is participation, it is only DreamWorks that participates in the investment. Because of this, this series has not changed much compared to the original time and space, and even the release time is not much different.

It can be seen that although Stallone is a muscular man, he is still quite talented, obviously, he has not trained his head into muscles.

And this "Rocky 4" was originally planned to be released at the end of this month.

If Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Bros. put their films in theaters earlier, then it would be tantamount to putting all the pressure on "Rocky 4".

Perhaps in their opinion, it is better to fight with Stallone than with someone Wu.

At least although the 'Rocky Series' are all money-making series, they are much less powerful than those films made by Wu over the years.

If Wu is a behemoth, then Stallone is a big guy at best. In comparison, it's better to fight with a big guy than with a monster!

Shirley Lansing smiled: "I asked Stallone, and he didn't have any opinion, obviously very confident in his own "Rocky 4". So, it's still going to be released as originally planned!"

During the Christmas and New Year period, DreamWorks is preparing to release films such as Stallone's "Rocky 4", Spielberg's "The Color Purple", and Wu Cheng's "God of Gamblers 2".

And "God of Gamblers 2", which has been pinned on by countless people, is obviously the most difficult bone to gnaw on among these. The second is Spielberg's "The Color Purple", after all, this play tells the story of black people, and these days, black people have nothing to do and have a demonstration.

Therefore, this drama does not lack an audience base.

In comparison, although "Rocky 4" has the foundation of the previous three films, but if you calculate carefully, it is the best one made by Stallone.

It is impossible for other film companies to shy away from them because they have DreamWorks films this summer, and it is already very face-saving to avoid "God of Gamblers 2".

So, Twentieth Century Fox simply brought their film forward, even two days before "Rocky 4". A few days after the release of "Rocky 4", Warner Bros. films will be crowded in. It can be said that as soon as the battle of this Christmas file began, GC came.

As for the release of Wu Cheng's "God of Gamblers 2", it is no longer a GC, it can only be said that it is a lonely stage, because ...... It has no opponents.

But even if there are no decent opponents, the publicity work in the early stage of the movie's release still can't be left behind, otherwise it won't be invincible and lonely, but distracted.

Underestimating the outcome of any opponent may be to capsize in the gutter.

So, the day after the party, Wu Cheng led the team and began to honestly do publicity. He is no longer as willful as he was at the beginning, and after filming the film, he throws everything to other people to do. When he was in Southeast Asia, because the starring roles he participated in were very famous in Southeast Asia, he could be willful.

But now, since embarking on this international route, the level of those actors in Xiangjiang has suddenly dropped a lot...... Although their acting skills have not fallen, I have to say that many European and American audiences watch Chinese actors, just like many Chinese audiences look at European and American actors, they all look like birds, and even serious ones will be stupid and unclear.

Even an international famous director like Wu Cheng, if he puts on a little makeup, changes his usual dress and temperament, and walks alone on the streets of Europe and the United States, he doesn't have to worry about what kind of riots it will cause. This is the legendary 'racial face blindness'.

Just like someone Wu watched the stars of the stick country in his previous life, he was basically stupid and couldn't tell the difference.

Therefore, if you want to be remembered, you must constantly brush up on the international stage.

Didn't you see so many actresses in later generations trying to show their faces on those red carpets? The purpose is to brush up on a wave of presence. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, it has to be done anyway.

Although countless fans of Wu Cheng in the outside world are now looking forward to the release of this "God of Gamblers 2", if he is very willful and does not do publicity, it is estimated that he will die a miserable death.

Even when the movie is released, the audience will be dumbfounded, is this really what he made? Why don't you see him publicizing? Is it because he has no confidence in his movie?

Therefore, although the propaganda work was very troublesome, he still took the plunge.

The promotion of movies can be varied, and sticking movie posters everywhere is the simplest and most primitive mode, which is the propaganda method used in the early days of film development.

In addition to this, it is also possible to send the promo video to the TV station and promote it on TV.

When Wu Cheng didn't cross over, this kind of publicity had not yet developed, but with his arrival, the publicity work of the film became diverse because of him, and others naturally followed suit. Therefore, today's movie promotion methods are not much worse than those of later generations. The only difference may be the online publicity.

It's just that, compared with later generations, although today's network can be regarded as a preliminary entry into the era of network living, it is much more primitive than the era of network information explosion in later generations.

Therefore, the investment in this area is actually completely dispensable.

He just asked people to hang the information about the upcoming release of "God of Gamblers 2" on the homepage of Tomato Movie Network. Now this Tomato Movie Network has come out because of him.

Let people hang advertisements on it, which is somewhat a bit of a public and private feeling.

I believe that in the near future, many people will follow his example and hang up promotional posters of movies on this website.

In addition, there are also actors who attend events, use events to promote movies, or organize their own events, calling fans and journalists to participate, and so on.

Of course, participating in program interviews on TV has gradually become a mainstream method.

On this day, Wu Cheng took his team to an interview program on a TV station owned by Viacom.

When Wu Cheng was doing publicity for a show like this in the past, he had been on it many times.

"Cheng, can you briefly describe the highlights of the drama "God of Gamblers 2"?"

After the host introduced the members who came with Wu Chengqian, the host asked Wu Cheng questions a little impatiently.

When Wu Cheng heard this, he gave him a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Jamie, your hosting level is getting higher and higher, I think your boss should give you a raise." You see, you can sum up all the questions you're going to ask tonight with one question, don't you?"

Hearing Wu Cheng say this, there was a burst of laughter from the scene, and the host Jamie was also laughing.

Wu Cheng shrugged his shoulders and continued: "There are actually many highlights of a play, and viewers who have watched "God of Gamblers 1", I think they should understand that it is a very commercial commercial film, or it can be said to be a popcorn movie. So, handsome guys and beauties, thrills, these are absolutely indispensable elements. However, I think that in addition to these, we can also look forward to the wonderful performances of Mr. Zhou Yunfa and Mr. Pacino, two actor-level actors, in the movie......"

"Yes, although I am a little wrong to say this, I have to remind you that although Mr. Pacino has been nominated for an actor, he is not an actor yet. ”

"Hey, man, don't worry about it, he's just one trophy away. Do you think his acting skills are not enough to win such a trophy?"

"Okay! you're right!" he shrugged, spread his hands, and made a funny face that made the audience laugh.

After asking Wu Cheng a few questions, the host turned to Mi Xue and said, "Hey, Miss Mi Xue, let's meet again." Last time, when you were promoting God of Gamblers 1, I asked you if you were single, and now I want to ask again, are you still single?"

Mi Xue couldn't bear not to look at Wu Cheng, so she smiled chicly: "I'm sorry, I think I have to be careful to state that you are not the type I like, really!"

Jamie's eyes widened when he heard this, and he spread his hands with an expression of 'I didn't mean that', but the audience below burst into laughter.

When everyone was almost laughing, Mi Xue said, "Okay! Just kidding, liven up the atmosphere." However, I still say that this is a personal question and I don't want to answer it!"

So, what kind of role do you play in the play "God of Gamblers 2"? I remember that you didn't have many roles in "God of Gamblers 1", didn't you?"

Mi Xue smiled: "From the promotional poster, you can see that my character has action scenes in the play "God of Gamblers 2". In fact, in this movie, I played the role of a female killer...... That's all I can say. ”

The host Jamie shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think, I'm looking forward to it more and more now, looking at your image on the promotional poster, it seems to be imitating the costume of the vampire female warrior Catherine in "Tales of the Night", right?

Wu Cheng nodded, and then Mi Xue complained: "I think, the director just wants to be lazy!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and then the host turned the question to Sean, "Sean, do you think you really want to be lazy by doing this?"

Sean was tempted to say, "What's the matter with me?"

But such a frustrated answer obviously couldn't be said, so he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't you think the vampire female warrior Catherine's costume is cool?"

It's really cool, but it doesn't hide the suspicion that he 'plagiarized himself'.
