Chapter 542: Twice the Declaration
In the baptism of flashing lights and screams, Gu Xiaofan came to Ed Wharton with a smile at this time, and the two who had been secretly fighting for a long time looked at each other carefully, and their eyes knew each other's hearts. 【】
Ed Wharton, you old fox, don't think I don't know what the hell you're up to, since you want to grab the page, then I'll give you a hand.
You little bastard, you know? You can't finish this summer file!
After Ed Wharton and Gu Xiaofan met, they laughed and came over and hugged him affectionately.
"Director Gu~ I've always wanted to see you, but I didn't expect to be lucky to meet you so coincidentally today."
Gu Xiaofan also squeezed Ed Wharton's arm affectionately and smiled: "Mr. Wharton is polite, I have always hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate with Columbia." ”
Both sides were eager to kick each other in the face, but they were still amiable in front of the media.
At this time, after the two sides stood in their positions, the reporters also began to interview and ask questions on the spot, and the two major film groups released on the same day hit the earth on Mars at the airport, which is really interesting.
"Can you ask Director Gu to comment on "Iron Man"? This movie has achieved a global box office of 5.5 billion US dollars, and has entered the top 50 of the global box office list, have you seen this movie? ”
Gu Xiaofan smiled dumbly when he heard this: "There is no movie theater in the prison. Everyone burst into laughter, and the young reporter who asked the question was also flushed, but fortunately, Gu Xiaofan continued:
"But I'm a big fan of Robert Downey Jr., and I just watched the trailer for 'Iron Man' on the plane, and I think he's absolutely glamorous in this movie, and his Iron Man is probably going to be one of the top three characters in a superhero movie."
"Top three?"
At this moment, the reporters all seized the opportunity and hurriedly asked: "Then Director Gu, who are the characters in the top two superhero movies in your mind?" ”
"Don't try to provoke, I won't offend my peers." Gu Xiaofan smiled and said, "But I think I will be in this ranking list in the future." ”
Robert Downey Jr. couldn't help but laugh at this joke, and then several English-speaking reporters turned to him and asked:
"Mr. Downey, this time "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" gathers three of our best actors in China, do you know them?"
This question is obviously provocative, of course Robert Downey Jr. doesn't know, but this directly offends Gu Xiaofan, so it's interesting.
Donnie suddenly pouted: "You know that I can't speak Chinese, but of course I know that Gu is one of the best actors in China." As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted to the fans about the China he had been practicing for a long time:
"Hello, Beijing~I love you~"
The fans erupted in screams, and the lively atmosphere suddenly diluted the controversial topic just now.
Yu Dong, a reporter from CCTV, hurriedly asked Donnie: "In the summer of this year, our domestic fans shouted that domestic films should beat Hollywood at the box office, do you think this possibility exists?" Does Iron Man represent the highest level of Hollywood? ”
"no~no~" Donnie quickly shook his head:
"I think movies know no borders, good movies are good movies, whether it's Chinese or American, and "Iron Man" is just my personal highest level, it doesn't represent Hollywood, if you want to ask about the highest level of Hollywood, you should wait for Spielberg and Harrison Ford to appear here next week."
The scene was full of laughter again, but the reporters were a little helpless about Donnie's watertight answer.
This group of harmony can't provoke the contradiction between the two at all, how can you go back and write the title?
The reporters asked Gu Xiaofan and Donnie a few more questions, and both of them were smooth and resolved, which made the reporters feel at a loss.
"Mr. Wharton, now that the box office of Hollywood movies in the summer season has surpassed that of Chinese films by almost 100 million, do you think you feel the threat of Chinese films?"
A bespectacled Hong Kong reporter asked, and everyone's attention shifted to Ed and Wharton.
"Well...... Ed Wharton squinted his eyes, glanced at Gu Xiaofan, and said in a very jerky Chinese:
"After all, Chinese films started relatively late, and it is rare to have such a rapid development today, I don't think they can be compared with Hollywood films, after all, the investment and cast are not at the same level, so the comparison is not fair at all......
The reporters distilled a lot of questions around the corner, but they couldn't hear any hot topics, and finally pry something out of the mouth of the representative of Hollywood's imported films.
"Mr. Ed Wharton, can you predict the box office of "Iron Man" and "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" from your professional point of view?" The Hong Kong reporter asked, and all the reporters pricked up their ears.
Now after last year's box office explosion, the mainland film industry has entered an era of rapid development, the box office of a movie before last year exceeded 100 million is big news, and at this time there are already 4 films with a box office of over 100 million in the summer file.
Now no one knows where the limit of the mainland box office is......
"Huh." Ed Wharton smiled: "I can't predict this, you know that "Iron Man" has achieved a box office of 5.5 billion US dollars worldwide, and it is just a stop in our world in Chinese mainland, and I can't guess how much it can get." ”
Ed Wharton's words seem modest, but they reveal great pride, and his meaning is obvious, it is meaningless to compare a "Iron Man" with a global box office of more than 550 million US dollars compared to the box office of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", because the two movies are not at the same level at all.
At this moment, all the reporters couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, originally they wanted to take this opportunity to let Gu Xiaofan predict the box office of the two movies, but what Ed Wharton said made them unable to continue......
At this time, everyone looked at Gu Xiaofan, thinking that this Director Gu Da would be angry in public? But there are still reporters who don't have a long eye to ask this question.
"May I ask Director Gu, what do you think of the box office prospects of "Iron Man" and "Outwitting Tiger Mountain"?"
Scared, isn't this person who asked the question stupid...... The reporters were speechless and glared at the Taiwanese reporter who asked the question.
And Gu Xiaofan smiled unexpectedly, glanced at the confident Ed Wharton, and said slowly:
"I think Chinese heroes should be more attractive than American heroes on Chinese soil......
What do you mean? Gu Xiaofan, is this going to announce that he is more powerful in front of Robert Downey Jr.?
The reporters were secretly shocked, but Gu Xiaofan said something that made people gasp.
"I think in Chinese mainland, no matter how much box office "Iron Man" can achieve, "Outsmart Tiger Mountain" is at least twice as much."
As he spoke, Gu Xiaofan stretched out the index and middle fingers of his right hand and made a "double" (victory) gesture.
"2 times as much as Iron Man?" The reporters stopped breathing for a beat, Gu Xiaofan, who returned from the United States, wasn't he stimulated in prison, this answer is simply crazy!
Gu Xiaofan made this gesture while smiling and looking at Robert Downey Jr., which made Robert Downey Jr. misunderstand, he saw Gu Xiaofan stretching out the "yes" gesture with a smile on his face, and thought it was time to take pictures, and he also smiled and stretched out his eyes to put on his eyes and hugged Gu Xiaofan to smile at the camera to steal the limelight, and also made a "yes" gesture to reporters and fans, thinking okay, you guys take a quick shot, let's see how harmonious I am with this Chinese kid, you fans should also hurry up and get hooked on me, heheAm I a hundred times sexier than the Chinese kid you like?
"Click", "click", "click" Countless cameras have recorded this historic picture, and in the photo, Ed Wharton, who is standing behind Gu Xiaofan and Robert Downey Jr., has a frighteningly cold face...... He was already scolding in his heart.
Donnie, you idiot who can't understand Chinese! Don't bully you, you still cooperate with him!? Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey!?
