(Second watch, ask for votes!)

After staying at home for a few days, the time is like flowing water to the east, and if it doesn't come back, it will come to November. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoSo Wu Cheng took the main creators of "God of Gamblers 2" to North America.

Well, it's time to start promoting this show.

Needless to say, Zhou Runfa and Mi Xue, the leading actors, are like this opportunity to show their faces on the international stage, even Zhou Runfa, who has no schedule, is also desperately trying to squeeze out some schedules, because as a starring actor, when doing movie promotion, it must be in place.

And like Hung Jinbao, Liu Huazai, Zhou Xingxing, Zhang Manyu, Sean and so on. These are not very important, they can be said to be dispensable, then it doesn't matter.

But none of these indifferent people are willing to lag behind.

Especially Hong Jinbao, he has been looking forward to this day for a long, long time, although he is not entering Hollywood as an actor or director, but he is also an action director!

The action style in the whole "God of Gamblers 2", although it is sharp, but it is not lacking in funny parts. It's not like "Black Man", the whole film has that cold and sharp style.

The action scenes in "God of Gamblers 2" only become sharp and cold when it comes to the cool Long Wu and those killers. But when it comes to Gao Jin and other supporting roles who don't know kung fu, especially Liu Huazai, who has learned a little bit of skin, but wants to pretend to be cool like Long Wu, he needs a witty kung fu action style to embellish it.

And the action style of witty kung fu is what Hung Jinbao is good at.

Therefore, this is a commercial film that can make people cool and laugh.

The business style that is full of it is no worse than the first one.

Of course, this kind of film, there is nothing to say in terms of art, everything can be said to be in the service of its commerciality.

To put it bluntly, this kind of film is going to the box office, if you want to see art, please go out and turn left and watch art films, this is not your thing.

In North America, in addition to the two assistant directors David Fincher and Michael Bay, there are also supporting actors Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and William Fidnell. Opportunities like this are not very attractive to actors of Robert De Niro's level and Al Pacino, especially Al Pacino.

However, because of the contract, they had to cooperate with the promotion of the movie.

Of course, even if there is no contractual constraint, as long as Wu Cheng says a word, they will come over to help with publicity. Just like when many celebrities are asked in the media which film they are most looking forward to in the Christmas file, many stars will say that it is "God of Gamblers 2". These celebrities, both openly and secretly, will give Wu Cheng a little face and promote him for free.

Yes, not to mention the actors who have participated in themselves.

Coming to North America again, Wu Cheng threw a party at Beverly Hills and invited some friends to come and get together. However, the greater significance of this party is to bring the team involved in the film promotion team over and get together, so that everyone can be more familiar with each other.

This time, he is still ready to divide into two teams, one team is mainly Chinese, led by Wu Cheng, including Wu Cheng himself, the heroine Mi Xue, assistant directors Zhou Xingxing and Wang Jiawei, as well as Zhang Manyu and Sean and others. It can be said that almost all of their team are young.

The other team is mainly composed of European and American actors, including the lead actor Chow Yunfa and action director Hung Jinbao, and assistant director Tsang Chi-wai, as well as European and American actors such as Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, as well as two assistant directors David Fincher and Michael Bay, plus the lesser-known William Fidnell.

Behind them, of course, there is also the DreamWorks publicity team.

This division is mainly about taking care of those young actors.

During the interview, some foreigners will like to bully the Chinese, especially the newcomers among the Chinese, and ask some more sensitive questions, so Wu Chenglai needs to be used as a shield.

And those like Zhou Yunfa and Hong Jinbao who have seen the scene, the older ones are not afraid of being provoked, so he doesn't have to worry too much about mixing them with European and American actors.

And Zhou Yanfa is the starring role, if he also follows Wu Cheng, then the identity of this team dominated by European and American actors is somewhat embarrassing, because they are not the protagonists or the chief director. Therefore, this team must have at least one identity that can be used in the movie.

As for bringing Sean, a 'cheap son', with him, Wu Cheng was also worried that as soon as he was stimulated during the interview, he would talk nonsense.

"Hey, Cheng, you're going to fight Steven this time!haha......"

Not long after the party started, George Lucas arrived late and smiled as soon as he entered.

Wu Cheng smiled and said: "Are you talking about the "Purple" he filmed? Do you think Shirley is crazy? He actually arranged for him to duel with me?" After a pause, he said: "Moreover, our two films are not comparable, okay!

"But in fact, the two films were released less than a week apart, aren't they?" Lucas smiled and shrugged.

Wu Cheng said with a smile: "Having said that, "The Color Purple" is starring Goldberg! It seems that before him, there was also a "Out of Africa" played by Tripps! Speaking of which, the two of them are called duels! Both are relatively artistic movies, and both are actresses. By the way, which company produced "Out of Africa"?"

"Universal Pictures!" Lucas smiled.

Wu Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I guess Universal wants to fight with our DreamWorks! Or maybe the director of this movie wants to wrestle with Steven." ”

"I think Universal should have a lot of confidence in this film!" Lucas shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "By the way, Steven is doing publicity in New York, right?"

"Well, that's what he said when I called him before. Wu Cheng nodded and said.

Chatting with Lucas, after a while, Shirley Lansing arrived.

Seeing Wu Cheng, Shirley Lansing smiled and said, "Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox have adjusted their schedules. ”

"Adjusting the schedule? Do you mean Twentieth Century Fox's "Nile Jewels" and Warner Bros. "Singles on a Business Trip?" Wu Cheng was stunned and said, "Is it ahead of schedule, or is it delayed?"

"It's ahead of schedule, it was originally going to be released at the beginning of next month, but now it's mentioned that at the end of this month, "Singles on a Business Trip" will be about a week later than "Nile Gems". Shirley Lansing smiled: "So I think we can advance the movie "Purple" a few days earlier! Try to distance yourself from the movie "God of Gamblers 2", what do you think?"

Although there is no comparison between commercial films and art films, if you want to talk about box office impacts, there will still be some. It's just that compared with the impact of commercial films on commercial films, the impact of commercial films on art films is actually completely negligible.

Because the purpose of art films is not for the box office, if you want a higher box office, you can directly make commercial films without worrying about art films.

Wu Cheng raised his glass and said with a smile: "You are the person in charge of DreamWorks, everything is up to you, you don't need to ask me about this kind of thing." ”

Shirley Lansing smiled when she heard this, although the boss is highly delegated, for a person in charge, it is a very happy thing.

Sometimes, however, the pressure is much greater than when the boss does not give up power.

After a pause, Wu Cheng asked again: "By the way, what other films will be released during the Christmas season this time?" I mean commercial films. ”

Shirley Lansing shook her head and said: "Basically, there are no blockbusters, the movie "God of Gamblers 2" has the foundation of "God of Gamblers 1", everyone knows that this blockbuster will be a box office bomb, so basically everyone is trying to avoid facing our blockbuster directly." In addition, many companies' large-scale commercial films will choose to be released in the summer, so this time, there are basically no decent commercial films to compete with us!"

It is normal to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Especially in this kind of box office battle, if you don't want to use blockbusters to snipe at the other party's blockbuster box office, or if you are very confident in your own films, it is basically difficult to see blockbusters piled together.

Wu Cheng nodded, and then saw Shirley asking, "By the way, boss, when will Brigitte's "Tales of the Night 2" be finished?"

Wu Chengxiao asked, "It's still early! Did she tell you when she was going to release it?"

Shirley nodded and said, "According to Brigitte's meaning, it is ready to be released in the summer next year." However, next summer, Lucasfilm's "Fallen from the Sky" and Cameron's "Alien 2" have been decided to be released at that time, and I suggest that "Tales of the Night 2" can avoid them as much as possible. ”

Wu Cheng nodded thoughtfully, this is true, "Heavenly Soldiers" is okay to say, after all, this film, compared to its investment, is actually a bit of a failure.

But Cameron's "Alien 2", that's definitely blockbuster level. If "Tales of the Night 2" and "Alien 2" collide together, the result is quite dangerous.

"Alien 2" is definitely stronger than "Alien 1" in Cameron's hands, and "Legend of the Night 2" is definitely not as strong as "Legend of the Night 1", after all, the movie "Legend of the Night 1" was a bit special at that time, so it would have such a high box office.

And "Tales of the Night 2" certainly doesn't have that kind of good luck. Therefore, compared with the two, it is estimated that the reputation of "Tales of the Night 2" will be much worse than that of "Alien 2".

Therefore, it is better to back down from the movie "Tales of the Night 2".
