Chapter 348 Scene 348 Six hundred million is the goal

On October 23rd, "Harry Potter 3: Prisoner of Azkaban" was released in the mainland, sweeping the major mainland theaters, since "Do Not Disturb", everyone feels the heat of the mainland film market, and the most direct benefit is not domestic films, but imported Hollywood movies, Harry Potter 3 box office on the first day of the box office exceeded 5 million, not only leaving the records of the first two behind, but also greatly exceeding the expectations of industry insiders.

Cinemas across the country are in a state of vigorous xiangshang, everyone is looking forward to the Chinese New Year at the end of this year, the release of three heavyweight blockbusters in the Chinese film industry "No Thieves in the World", "Kung Fu" and "Let the Bullets Fly", just thinking about that kind of grand occasion makes them feel excited, and the whole industry is looking forward to the news of these three films.

Following a series of publicity in the early stage of "Let the Bullets Fly" whetted everyone's appetite, the two blockbusters "Kung Fu" and "No Thieves in the World" began to release relevant information one after another, "Liu Dehua encountered a thrilling car accident during filming and almost broke his phase. "Zhou Xingxing and the new new girl Huang Shengyi have a private meeting at night." "Xingye's old love Mo Wenwei issued a declaration that he would attend the premiere of "Kung Fu" with his boyfriend Feng Delun, and the new love and old love would be reunited."

And "No Thieves in the World" and "Kung Fu" launched their own trailers on their respective promotional websites at the same time, and many industry insiders and fans have said that these two movies may be Feng Xiaogang and Zhou Xingxing's most Haode works in recent years.

In comparison, "Let the Bullets Fly", which started significantly later and these two masterpieces, has just been completed, and everyone is speculating whether Li Crazy can catch up with this century war of the three major directors? Many people in the industry believe that if the progress is lagging behind, Li Crazy's best choice is to avoid this kind of head-to-head confrontation with Feng Xiaogang and Zhou Xingxing, and promote "Let the Bullets Fly" in a more secure way

Finally in anticipation, the trailer of "Let the Bullets Fly" is long overdue, and in the trailer, which is completely different from the sunny and warm and even petty bourgeois style that everyone imagined, in the rhythmic rock music, the film is cut very sharply, and it can even be said to be dazzling.

Chow Yun-fat said in a deep voice: "If you live, you will die sooner or later, and if you die, you will always live." ”

Goshawks fly by, train whistles, and electric guitars pluck strings, bringing people into a wild era, interspersed with film clips, "Bah! As soon as a gunshot rang out, a picture was frozen, Jiang Wen, Ge You, Zhou Runfa, and then the camera switched like a storm.

Under the dark night, a group of black-clothed people shot the county magistrate's bedroom! Jiang Wenfei jumped to the side and shot! In the quaint official mansion, Zhou Yanfa slashed down with a knife, and in the cold light, Jiang Wen "Bell!" Raising the crotch of the knife, Zhou Yanfa glared at Jiang Wen angrily with a gun, and the bandits in the mountains shooted! The townsfolk rebelled! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang~~! Gunshot~! Gunshot~! It's still gunshot~!

Cool off the scum! Explode the scum! It's so ruthless that it drops the slag~~!

Wow~! This is the first reaction of all those who see this trailer, and then what comes at any time is a blood boiling in the chest, everyone realizes that Li Crazy and the three major movie stars have brought them an unprecedented movie, Jiang Wen and Ge You have witty words, the gunfight scene is wonderful, Zhou Yanfa's appearance with a gun reminds people of the once passionate era, the amorous Lin Zhiling, the strange temperament Zhou Yun, and the shirtless bandits and fierce men who ride horses and whip up, each picture makes everyone's hormones surging wildly!

After the excitement, followed by a burst of manic depression, every fan was impatient to start checking all the news of the movie on the Internet, when will "Let the Bullets Fly" be released? How long will we have to wait!

At a time when everyone is desperately looking for news, the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly", which has always remained mysterious, announced a press conference at this time, and various media surged to gather at the Shangri-La Hotel.

At the exquisitely arranged press conference, Li Xiaole, with Jiang Wen, Ge You, Zhou Yanfa, Lin Zhiling, and the four leading actors sat in the center of the small stage, the staff pulled up the isolation belt, and more than 70 reporters and more than 200 fans were holding their cameras and pressing the shutter excitedly.

After producer Huang Jianxing announced some film information, the core reporter question and answer session of the press conference officially began.

"Director Li, everyone originally guessed that this "Let the Bullets Fly" is likely to be a war-based movie, but the trailer doesn't seem to have any big scenes?" Zheng Xin, a reporter from Shanghai Satellite TV, asked with interest.

Seeing Li Xiaole smiling and shrugging his shoulders, many text reporters now began to write down every word of him with their laptops.

"I'm afraid this will disappoint everyone, war movies can't be controlled with my current skills, but after filming this "Let the Bullets Fly", I have accumulated a lot of experience, maybe the next one will be a movie about the war between two peoples......"

Li Xiaole said this, but immediately brought the topic back to the main axis and smiled: "Let the Bullets Fly" is a western, full of romantic heroism, this is my little childhood wish, when I was filming the scene where Fa Ge and Mr. Jiang confronted each other with guns, I seemed to go back to the time when I watched "The True Colors of Heroes"~"

The scene was full of laughter, and CCTV reporter Yu Dong then raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Jiang, maybe I'm a little rude, but let me take the liberty of asking, what do you think of Director Li's performance in this movie, do you think if you come to be a director, will it be better than Director Li's film?" In fact, in my mind, you are a very haode director, and I would actually like to see you direct a film with a strong style like "Let the Bullets Fly". ”

"That's a very good question." Jiang Wen stood up with a dry cough and took the microphone, and said in a very sincere voice: "Before making this movie, I was the same as you imagined, I thought I could shoot better than Director Li......"

"And now?" The reporter asked curiously.

"Now?" Jiang Wen turned his head and glanced at Li Xiaole: "When I see Director Li Xiaole now, I have the urge to bow to him, I have to admit that in the job of film director, he is indeed more talented than me and more suitable than me, this is not a compliment, of course he must not act as well as me." ”

The reporters at the scene were very excited to see that Jiang Wen was willing to return to this obviously provocative question, but no one expected that Jiang Wen, who was above the top, would show unexpected modesty, but instead admired Li Xiaole, and when the fans were hahadaxiao, the reporters were a little stunned.

This group is harmonious, and there is no theme to write it......

"Brother Fa, can you comment on Director Li's acting skills, Director Li doesn't seem to appear in the trailer, does this mean?" A bespectacled reporter in Hong Kong asked in Cantonese, and everyone's attention shifted to Zhou Yunfa again.

"hahaha~" Zhou Yanfa squinted his eyes and pointed at the Hong Kong reporter: "This trailer was cut by Director Li himself, without him because I am afraid that you will dislike him for selling melons in Wang Po, as for whether he plays well or not, I can only say that you will know when you go to the cinema to watch it, I can't tell you now." ”

Zhou Yunfa is an old Jianghu, of course he knows what reporters want, if he Li Xiaole's acting skills are good, then before the movie is released, this will become a topic "Fa Ge praised Li Xiaole's good acting skills." When the movie is released, Li Xiaole's surprise in the film will be greatly discounted, of course, he can't say nonsense that "Li Xiaole's acting skills are not good", and it is the best result to leave the suspense until the day of release.

The final reporter asked a lot of questions around the corner, but he couldn't get any valuable topics from these experienced actors, and Zuihou could only transfer to Li Xiaole again.

"May I ask Director Li, have you watched the trailers of "Kung Fu" and "No Thieves in the World"?" A female reporter from Hunan asked with a smile.

"I haven't had time to watch it yet, I'll wait until the movie is released and go to the cinema." Li Xiaole replied truthfully.

"Judging from the trailer, director Feng Xiaogang in "No Thieves in the World" showed a depth of story that was not in the world, and Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu" also showed superb Hollywood-level stunts, both movies are considered by everyone to be their most Haode movies in recent years, and the trailer of "Let the Bullets Fly" seems to give people the feeling of a popcorn blockbuster, it seems that it is time for you and Mr. Jiang to compromise the market, and, I want to ask what is your box office psychological expectation for these three movies?" The female reporter asked this question, which immediately aroused a high degree of interest.

"I can't tell you what kind of movie Let the Bullets Fly right now, but I can answer your latter question." Li Xiaole calmly looked at the female reporter and asked with a smile: "But I want to ask you first, how much box office do you think "Let the Bullets Fly" can have?" ”

"This ......" The Hunan TV female reporter frowned and thought for a while, before she smiled: "I estimate that it should be at least 2 to 300 million at the box office, the Chinese New Year file is so intense, I'm afraid "Let the Bullets Fly" can't break the record of 3.5 billion for "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb". ”

"What do you think?" Li Xiaole looked curiously at the reporters below and asked.

"200 million~!" "300 million~!" The reporters below almost all shouted these two numbers, and only one coaxing guy shouted "billion" that caused everyone to laugh.

"Well, it looks like you're still a bit short of what I expected." Li Xiaole made a "okay" gesture, signaled everyone to be quiet, and smiled: "Actually, my psychological ideal expectation is..."

"600 million box office?" The reporters all looked at each other, and after smacking their tongues, they were very excited, not that they thought that Li Crazy's answer was very reasonable, on the contrary, they thought it was ridiculous......
