Chapter 282: Boot Conference
As Feng Simin expected, when she handed over the director's invitation to "Escape from the Temple" to Bai Xiaoyu, he almost didn't even think about it, and directly accepted it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After all, compared with other predecessors in the film industry, the only thing Bai Xiaoyu can do is his talent in commercial film shooting, and in the face of the super masterpiece "Temple Run" with no upper limit on funds, Bai Xiaoyu has no right to hesitate at all.
After discussing with Bai Xiaoyu, a few days later, Xianyin Entertainment Company held a press conference for the launch of "Temple Escape".
"Mr. Wang, I heard that there is no cap on the investment of 'Temple Run', is it true?"
At the launch press conference, an entertainment reporter asked Wang Xiao questions with great interest.
"Yes, that's what we advertise."
Wang Xiao replied with a smile: "But it is naturally impossible to operate without a cap, as for how many ...... Anyway, our crew won't worry about funds. ”
Hearing Wang Xiao's heroic words, not only the eyes of the reporters below lit up, but also the directors Bai Xiaoyu and Liu Mimi and other stars all showed excitement.
Although the investment in the film is often not proportional to the final box office results, and there have even been accidents in Hollywood in the United States where the production company had to go bankrupt because of the huge investment in a film, but in general, it is inseparable from sufficient funds for a film to achieve good results.
"Then Mr. Wang, why did you invest in this film? Is it because of Miss Liu Mimi? ”
Another entertainment reporter stood up and asked gossipingly.
Hearing the reporter's question, Liu Mimi looked shy on the surface, but secretly looked at Wang Xiao with her eyes to see how he answered this question.
"I'm a businessman, and the reason why I invested in this film is because it can bring me money."
Wang Xiao is different from those who have to call himself an entrepreneur and a businessman, he never denies the essence of being a businessman: "As for whether it is because of Miss Liu Mimi...... Yes, of course! ”
When they heard Wang Xiao's last four words, almost all the reporters in the audience opened their eyes and exhaled rapidly, and they were about to ask one by one; Liu Mimi on the side also looked stunned, with a mixture of joy and surprise on her face; Several actresses next to Liu Mimi showed jealous looks, that is the richest man in China.
However, just when they thought that Wang Xiao had finished answering, they only heard Wang Xiao pick up with a smile again: "Not only because of Mimi, but also because of Director Bai Xiaoyu, because of Miss Su Hanya, because of ......"
Wang Xiao almost kept talking about all the main actors of the crew in one breath, and finally even brought all the employees of the crew, which almost made people think that this was the list of thanks after winning the award.
Hearing Wang Xiao's remedy, the reporters all sighed in frustration, what a big revelation, it's gone.
Not only were these reporters frustrated, but even Liu Mimi couldn't help biting her lower lip, glanced at Wang Xiao with a little resentment, and felt a trace of loss in her heart.
"Then Mr. Wang, what do you think the final box office of this movie will be?"
Another entertainment reporter stood up and asked, "With such a big investment, can you compete for the annual box office championship?" ”
"Who can guarantee such a thing?"
Wang Xiao naturally won't fall for the full set of reporters and say anything grandiose, otherwise he will just add a burden to the crew members for no reason.
Hearing Wang Xiao's answer, everyone in the crew was also relieved, they were afraid that Wang Xiao would say something about the annual box office champion for a while.
However, before they finished their breath, they heard Wang Xiao add: "But I have estimated that there should always be a box office of one billion." ”
Pressure!
After hearing Wang Xiaohou's words, not only director Bai Xiaoyu, but even a group of stars felt that their shoulders suddenly weighed a little, but none of them raised any objections.
After all, Wang Xiao said that the funds would give the crew the greatest support, with a minimum guarantee of 100 million US dollars, that is, more than 600 million yuan, if you don't even dare to expect a box office of one billion in this case, doesn't that mean that this movie will lose money?
Seeing the cautious look on the faces of the others, Wang Xiao also smiled secretly, he naturally deliberately said the latter sentence, the purpose was not to let these people relax too much, oh, and give you enough funds, and don't set any goals for you, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?
"Mr. Wang......"
At this time, another entertainment reporter stood up and was about to ask a question, but before he could finish speaking, Wang Xiao interrupted the other party with a wry smile: "Wait a minute, this reporter friend, we are the launch conference of 'Temple Run', you always ask me what I mean by this investor......"
"Haha......"
Hearing Wang Xiao's words, the reporters all laughed, who called Wang Xiao, the richest man in China, too topical and rarely appeared in the media, so that the reporters almost aimed their guns at Wang Xiao with the mentality of winning the jackpot.
After hearing Wang Xiao's reminder, they threw the topic to other crew members.
"Director Bai, do you have any pressure after taking over the director position of this super production?"
A reporter threw the question to Bai Xiaoyu.
"Shall I say that I don't have to pressure you to reply?"
Bai Xiaoyu touched his cheek and smiled: "You also heard, just now Mr. Wang set a goal of one billion for us, if we can't do it, I'm also afraid of being chased by killers!" ”
"Haha!"
Hearing Bai Xiaoyu's last words, the audience laughed.
Since the last time Wang Xiao said on the show that if Liu Mimi pestered him again, he would send a killer, this sentence has become a hot sentence after the spread of netizens, and many netizens often rush out the sentence "Be careful I send a killer" after disagreeing.
Wang Xiao also shook his head with a smile on the side, and then glanced at Liu Mimi, revealing a knowing smile.
After asking Bai Xiaoyu, another reporter threw the question to Liu Mimi.
"Miss Liu Mimi, we all know that this is your first time starring in a film, and your first work is such a super-masterpiece, and you play the starring role...... Excuse me, do you think you have what it takes to hold up this play? ”
This question is quite tricky and sharp, at least it is doubting Liu Mimi's acting skills, and at worst, it is doubting whether Liu Mimi got the opportunity to star in this movie through her friendship with Wang Xiao.
In the face of this reporter's question, Liu Mimi's delicate pretty face showed a serious look, and said solemnly: "Indeed, this is my first film work, even if I say a lot of big things now, everyone will be naturally suspicious, so all the answers will be proved by the final box office!" ”
Although Liu Mimi's words were very tactful, the confidence in her words jumped out - don't you trust me, so let's stop talking about uselessness now, let's use the final box office to prove everything!
Hearing Liu Mimi's easy, humble and arrogant answer, Wang Xiao was both relieved and sighed in his heart: Mimi has finally grown up, and the Mimi who was panicked at the wine table because she was forced to drink by others has disappeared. (To be continued.) )
