Chapter 176: "Mythology" Starts (Part II)
"Mr. Fang Chenglong, may I ask what kind of movie your new movie "Myth" is about!"
The launch conference of "Myth" officially began, first of all, Fang Chenglong gave a general introduction to the next movie "Myth", and said a lot of official words, and then began the reporter's questioning session.
"This movie is a movie that combines action, adventure, love and some fantasy, it is a big-budget movie, and our entire crew is full of confidence in this movie, and I believe that with the efforts of all of us, we will definitely achieve satisfactory results!"
Fang Chenglong had a faint smile on his face and said to all the reporters around him.
"Mr. Fang Chenglong, about this casting, some people say that you chose Menjie as the No. 1 supporting actor in your movie, completely because of external public opinion, in order to prove that you have no contradiction with Menjie, you chose him in desperation?"
When he was smiling on his face, one of the reporters suddenly raised a topic that made people a little depressed, and the smile on Fang Chenglong's original face suddenly froze, obviously a little embarrassed.
"This question, I have clarified several times before, the personal relationship between me and Menjie is good, there is no contradiction at all, if there is a contradiction, I will not choose the wrong person to play the No. 1 supporting actor in my movie for any reason, this is a very important role!"
The voice was slightly serious, and Fang Chenglong looked at the obscene man who was a tabloid reporter at a glance with a rather stern gaze, obviously. It's a little angry.
This idiot!
Seeing this, basically all the reporters present couldn't help but complain about the previous reporter in their hearts.
At the time of the interview. If the celebrities are in a good mood, they are likely to break some valuable news, and if they are very angry, it will also work wonders.
However, as it is now, making Fang Chenglong and even the door Jie on the side a little depressed is likely to make everyone miss some very valuable news. Naturally, I was dissatisfied with this ignorant tabloid reporter!
As if seeing the dissatisfied eyes of Fang Chenglong and the 'colleagues' around him, this tabloid reporter who had never seen much of the world couldn't help but shrink his neck and hurriedly closed his mouth. Retreating to the rear, out of everyone's sight.
"Mr. Fang Chenglong, may I ask how long your film is expected to be filmed? When will it be released? I remember Menjie's last step was the movie "Jingwu Family" that you invested in. It only took two months to officially finish. Will this movie be so fast? ”
The troublemakers at the start-up press conference have receded, and the reporters have started to ask normal questions again, and Fang Chenglong still has a faint smile on his face.
"Of course not, this film is better than "Jingwu Family" in terms of investment and difficulty, and this film will be filmed in many places just in China, including five first-tier cities, in addition to even in foreign countries, we still have some shots to shoot. Naturally, the filming time of this movie will be relatively long! ”
After a little estimate, Fang Chenglong continued. "In terms of the time taken to shoot this movie, it will take about five months from beginning to end, and of course, some of the supporting roles may have been completed earlier, as for Menjie...... After all, he is one of the most important characters in the whole film, and he will never finish it without more than four months! ”
In terms of time, it's a long time!
It's the first time I've heard Jackie Chan describe the filming time of this film, even Menjie can't help but be shocked, most of the movies shot by Menjie before can be filmed in two or three months, even if the crew has some follow-up shooting, that is, another month.
And now, because the film "Myth" was filmed in too many locations, and even touched on India, the filming time has been greatly extended, and it takes four or five months to complete the shooting.
But......
In terms of the number of movies, Menjie doesn't care much, as long as he can complete the main task of the Tianwang system within the required time limit, in addition to any four film and television works, Menjie mainly cares about quality!
Only excellent quality can make Menjie's popularity soar and bring a lot of points to Menjie!
As for the timing of the shooting......
The longer the filming time, the more proficient Men Jie can also get, so naturally he doesn't have any opinions.
"As for the final release time of the film, we have preliminarily decided that it should be in September next year, and there are still about ten months to go, and I believe that in these ten months, we will be able to shoot the film and complete all the post-production!"
After a little estimation, Fang Chenglong gave the final answer.
Listening to this time, Menjie also nodded slightly.
Now, although only one of the film and television works owned by Menjie has been broadcast, there are not too many works, and the popularity is not very high, there is still a certain distance from Menjie's real strength, but soon, Menjie's popularity will enter a stage of rapid growth!
In December this year, Menjie's first movie "Kung Fu" will be officially released, and it won't be long before Menjie's second album will be officially released!
And after that, in 2005, it was preliminarily concluded that there would be "Jingwu Family" and "Mythology" released successively!
Although Menjie plays supporting roles, Menjie believes that with only the role of supporting roles in three popular films, plus his upcoming new album, he can also make his popularity officially enter the ranks of first-line stars!
Even because of the simultaneous development of songs, film and television, Menjie's popularity may be higher than that of ordinary first-line singers or first-line movie stars!
Next year will be a bumper year for Menjie!
"Mr. Menjie!"
After the reporters asked Fang Chenglong a few more questions, one of the reporters set his eyes on Menjie.
Although it seems that Menjie is still just a newcomer and does not have too many works, most of the reporters present are very clear in their hearts that Menjie, who can cooperate with Zhou Xingchi, Huang Qiusheng, Fang Chenglong and others, will become popular instantly as long as the movie is released!
In this way, some news of Menjie can naturally be sold for some price!
"Your first film 'Kung Fu' is still about a month away, I wonder what you are looking forward to for this movie? Now many people are comparing the upcoming "Kung Fu" with "No Thieves in the World", which of these two movies do you think is better? Which step will achieve better box office results? ”
"I'm naturally full of expectations for "Kung Fu"!"
Menjie grinned, for this kind of 'dangerous' question asked by the reporter, after a series of experiences, Menjie was able to deal with it easily.
As for the question of comparing "Kung Fu" with "No Thieves in the World...... I really don't know what to do, whether it's Director Feng or Xing Ye, they all have a good relationship with me, they are all old-timers I admire, I'm naturally not qualified to comment as a newcomer, but as far as the box office is concerned...... Naturally, I hope that the movies I starred in can get better results! ”
After speaking, before the reporters were overjoyed by Menjie's answer, Menjie immediately smiled and said.
"If the movie I starred in is hot at the box office, I will be able to receive a lot of invitations to movies in the future, maybe Director Feng will also invite me to star in the next movie!"
You can say that again!
Listening to Menjie's words, Fang Chenglong and others couldn't help but secretly give Menjie a thumbs up!
At the beginning, when I heard Menjie say that he hoped that his movie would become popular, Fang Chenglong and others really sweated for Menjie, for fear that Feng Xiaogang would be dissatisfied because of Menjie's words, but if the following words were added......
It is not difficult to hear that for Feng Xiaogang, Menjie's heart is full of admiration!
"Mr. Menjie, can you roughly predict how much you think the box office of "Kung Fu" will be able to reach?"
didn't let go of Menjie, the reporter continued to ask Menjie, as if he wanted to break the casserole and ask to the end, and the other reporters also looked at Menjie quietly, waiting for Menjie's answer.
In fact, it stands to reason that the movies of Fang Chenglong and Zhou Xingchi, whether in terms of attention or quality, are not much different, and now reporters are paying so much attention to "Kung Fu" at the launch conference of "Myth", mainly because Kung Fu is about to be released!
A movie is about to start filming, so in the process of filming, there will definitely not be too much news to break out, and there are still about ten months before the release, which is very long, so long that most viewers will forget it.
But "Kung Fu" is different, a movie that is about to be released and will cause a huge response and popularity is naturally more concerned by the audience.
Therefore, Menjie was able to attract the attention of so many reporters as a newcomer!
"At the box office...... I predict that the box office of Kung Fu should be between 100 million and 200 million, after all, I am still a newcomer, and I don't know much about the box office, so for the sake of insurance, I will give a range! ”
After Menjie chuckled, he slightly felt that although Tang Jili, Fang Chenglong and others on the side did not speak, they were also slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly said to the reporters.
"Next, I hope that all reporters can ask more questions about the content related to "Myth", after all, today is the launch conference of "Myth", as for the news about "Kung Fu", you can learn through other channels!". (To be continued.) )
