Chapter 344: Box Office Reputation? - I have absolute confidence!
Chapter 344 box office word-of-mouth? - I have absolute faith!
Nine a.m., Washington Square.
Zhou Shaoming got down from the Ferrari, and suddenly, he was surrounded by enthusiastic fans, but Roken and others were carefully observing the surroundings, protecting Zhou Shaoming's safety, and in front, Benjamin was opening the way.
Zhou Shaoming and the others slowly walked towards the stage.
"Smith Chow, sign me!"
"Smith Chow, I love!"
"Will Smith, your body is so perfect!"
"Hugh. Jackman, you're so handsome! β
"Jessica, my goddess, I love you to death."
Enthusiastic fans are roaring and hugging wildly, not to mention Zhou Shaoming, even Will Smith and others are also strongly sought after.
"Zhou, I suddenly feel very fortunate to be a star!" Jessica whispered a little depressed.
"There's no way, you have to adapt to being a star! Wait until the day when you don't have these passionate fans, and your acting career will come to an end! Zhou Shaoming said with a smile, looking very easy-going, and even signed a fan holding a small notebook while talking.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Shaoming and a few people had already stood on the stage, and at this time, Mayor Bloomberg had arrived, standing on the stage, he looked energetic, and when he saw Zhou Shaoming coming up, he came directly to a bear hug.
"Dear Zhou, thanks to you for attracting attention! Otherwise I wouldn't have come up so easily! Bloomberg said with a smile, and there were bodyguards standing behind him as well, in an inconspicuous place, of course.
"Haha Mayor, you came earlier than me, thank you!" Zhou Shaoming said excitedly.
"Of course, the movies I participate in must be involved in publicity!" Bloomberg smiled rightly.
Subsequently. Zhou Shaoming's eyes lit up. But I saw the beautiful woman Serena. couldn't help but step forward: "Beautiful reporter, you are here too, I guessed that it must be you!" β
"Of course. Now everyone in the newspaper calls me Miss Smith Chow! Serena winked at Zhou Shaoming and said with a smile.
Suddenly, Zhou Shaoming was choked, a little speechless, and couldn't help but peek at Jessica. I was relieved to find that the other party hadn't noticed.
"What? Our famous father of chainsaws is afraid of his wife? No, this doesn't look like Miss Christina! Jessica, dear Director Zhou, is there something worth digging into? Serena said with a chuckle.
Zhou Shaoming was completely speechless, this Serena is worthy of being a reporter, there is a little clue, and she immediately caught it!
"Okay, beauty, let's not talk about it for now, there is still business, I have time to invite you to coffee!" Zhou Shaoming didn't dare to continue chatting with Serena. Hurry up and finish.
Then, he stood in the center of the stage.
"Smith Week, Smith Week, Smith Week!"
"I am a legend! I am a legend! I am a legend! β
"The father of chainsaws, the father of chainsaws, the father of chainsaws!"
It's already in full swing below. All kinds of slogans, all kinds of shouts, about Will Smith's, Hugh. Jackman's, Jessica's, etc., everyone was cheering enthusiastically.
Of course, among them, Zhou Shaoming has the most fans and the craziest!
Some fans have even gathered a big banner at this moment: Smith Chow, we love you!
"Alright, enthusiastic audience, let's be quiet!" At this moment, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded.
The voice was made by Venus, the hostess of a New York City television station, who was invited here today to host the promotional event of "I Am Legend".
The audience below finally quieted down a bit.
"Today we are honored to have the crew of "I Am Legend" and Mayor Bloomberg, welcome them!"
"Bang Bang Bang"
Suddenly, thunderous applause rang out.
"NO, NO, not the mayor, today I am an actor, an actor in the crew of "I Am a Legend". Bloomberg held the microphone and explained with a smile.
"Roar, roar, roar," the mayor's humorous language caused a burst of cheers below.
Next is Zhou Shaoming's time.
Zhou Shaoming took the microphone, smiled, and then said loudly: "It's a pleasure to come to New York again!" This beautiful and welcoming city. β
"Before, filming on the Brooklyn Bridge and Washington, I was very touched by the support given by the mayor, the New York Daily News, the Brooklyn District Police Department, etc., and it can be said that the successful filming of the movie "I Am Legend" is inseparable from them, and even more inseparable from you. New Yorkers give me the impression that they are warm, passionate, and full of humanity! β
Zhou Shaoming's high-spirited and encouraging words suddenly made the audience present cheer and boil, and the cheers and roars were higher and higher.
"Stop!" Zhou Shaoming made a quiet gesture, and then said: "Next, let's return to the theme, that is, the movie "I Am Legend". As we all know, "I Am Legend" was released on January 15, 2003, and it was the first stop of New York City publicity. β
"'I Am Legend' is about a hero who fights in New York City. Exclusive zombie story. β
"Will Smith, play the male lead in the movie, Robert, a brave and resolute hero!"
Meanwhile, Will Smith greeted with a smile: "Hello everyone! I'm Will Smith! β
"Will, we love you!"
"Will, you're so handsome!"
Will Smith has accumulated a lot of popularity because of the previous movies such as "Boxer Ali" and "Men in Black", and there are naturally many fans, and the cheers underground are really not small.
"This, I think everyone knowsβthe handsome guy Hugh. Jackman! Zhou Shaoming continued.
"Sparta! Sparta! We are from Sparta! This time the following fans seem to have a tacit understanding in the introduction to Hugh. Jackman, the crowd below shouted at the same time.
"It's a pity that our great Spartan king can only be a zombie this time!" Zhou Shaoming raised his eyebrows and laughed.
"Ahaha" Suddenly, there was laughter, and then Zhou Shaoming introduced Jessica, Harry, Roger and others.
Of course, one of the protagonists, Sam, Sam performed an upright and a jump under the guidance of Will Smith, which caused all kinds of cheers and whistles.
"Director Smith Chow, as we all know, your films have always been very popular, both word-of-mouth and box office. I don't know what you expect or predict for this "I Am Legend"? The host asked with a smile.
"I don't dare to say anything else, I Smith Week can only guarantee that "I Am Legend" is no worse than my previous movies, and it will still bring touching and wonderful thinking to fans. As for the results and reputation, these are not what I pay attention to, as a filmmaker, I just need to shoot the movie well, I think, as long as I can come up with a good work, there will be a lot of people to support it, and the corresponding box office and reputation will not be bad! Zhou Shaoming said slowly.
Then he finished speaking, and thunderous applause rang out again.
"Indeed, as a filmmaker, shooting a good movie is the most important thing, as for the box office and word of mouth, it is secondary!" The host nodded in agreement, and then asked again: "Mr. Smith Zhou, your company, or your girlfriend's company, Supernova, is now developing at a rapid pace, whether it is a movie, a TV series, or other investments, it has achieved great success. Especially "The Day After Tomorrow", which was released two months ago, has been a huge success, with the global box office exceeding one billion, such a terrifying result, does it put pressure on you, after all, you Smith Zhou is the ace director of the supernova. β
This question is a little sharp, a little hot, after the host asked, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but look at the beautiful hostess, while the audience below was a lot quieter, waiting for Smith Zhou's answer.
"First of all, the results of "The Day After Tomorrow" are really good, Tesla - Ben is a very talented director, and secondly, I Smith Zhou is a good director of supernova, but only one of the best directors, and there will be more Tesla in the future - Ben will appear, there will be more "The Day After Tomorrow" from supernova. There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, and I think supernova can provide them with a platform to display their talents. At the same time, I'm looking forward to more directors creating their own miracles and surpassing me because they are all supernova people. β
Zhou Shaoming's answer was leaky and impeccable, neither releasing rhetoric nor belittling other directors, so that both the audience and the guests present nodded slightly and agreed.
"So Mr. Smith Zhou, about the box office, are you confident that you will surpass "The Day After Tomorrow"?" The hostess seemed unwilling not to ask for the exact answer, and pointed out the problem again, making Benjamin on the side almost scold his mother.
This kind of problem is the most uncomfortable, it hurts confidence if it says less, and if it talks too much, others will evaluate it arrogantly.
"Faith! I'm never short of Smith Week, "The Day After Tomorrow" is a good movie, and even set records, but records are always broken! I think Ben also wants to see "I Am Legend" break the record and reach new heights. As for myself, I have absolute confidence in the box office of "I Am Legend". Zhou Shaoming replied sonorously, indeed, for "I Am a Legend", Zhou Shaoming is full of confidence, whether it is the plot or ideological connotation, this movie is not worse than his previous movies, but a little more obvious, that is, the special effects of the science fiction elements are used very well, and there is no pressure at all to surpass the previous movies at the box office.
"I think everyone here believes that our talented director, Smith Chow, can do another miracle!" The hostess smiled and took the lead in applauding, followed by the same applause below.
Next is the hostess asking some questions about how many of the main actors. (To be continued.) )
