Chapter 429: Isn't That What We Want?

"Hello Mr. Douglas, with all due respect, Chinese movies are not very popular in the M market, why did NBC Group promote this film "The End of the World" from China with such fanfare this time! And as far as I know, the theater chain under the NBC group has the intention of selling because of the poor business situation, but some time ago, the sale of the theater chain suddenly stopped, and began to fully promote this "End of the World", what kind of magic does this film have, will make NBC Group desperate and cancel the original theater sales plan, and finally please ask what this movie is about, thank you"!

The NBC reporter was called by Douglas, and as soon as he stood up, he quickly asked three questions, and it seemed that they were all arranged by Douglas in advance.

However, Luo Yang's face was a little dark, in the words of the reporter just now, he nakedly expressed his disdain for Chinese films, which made Luo Yang, who is a member of Chinese films, very unhappy, although this question is just to elevate the status of "The End of the World", but Luo Yang can't help it, although what this reporter said is not good, but this is indeed the truth, so that Luo Yang can't refute it even if he is unhappy, so he has to clench his fists and make up his mind that he must bring more Chinese films when he has the opportunity in the future.

"I'm sorry, but please understand"!

Douglas also noticed that Luo Yang's face was not good, and he also understood why Luo Yang was unhappy, so he apologized to Luo Yang in a low voice.

"It's okay, what this reporter said is also true, I think our Chinese film industry will go out of its own way, Mr. Douglas, you better answer the reporter's questions first!"

Luo Yang nodded to indicate that he was fine, and then reminded Douglas.

"First of all, I need to remind you that the reason why Chinese films are not popular with fans of country M is because of the different folk cultures of the two places, not how big the gap is between the film production level of the two places"!

Douglas did not answer the reporter's words directly, but first corrected the reporter's words, which made Luo Yang's face a little better, although he knew that Douglas just said polite words because he didn't want his partner to be unhappy, but at least Douglas helped to speak, so Luo Yang threw a grateful glance at Douglas.

Getting Luo Yang's grateful gaze, Douglas nodded with a smile, and then continued to say to the reporter: "Before NBC's movie theater chain lost money and was ready to sell, there is nothing to hide from everyone here, I can tell you that it is true, of course, the reason why this plan has changed later is because of the appearance of Magic Yang, when Magic Yang asked me for film cooperation, to be honest, I don't really believe how wonderful this movie is, can save our NBC's theater on the verge of bankruptcy, but Magic Young's words moved me, why not try to create a miracle, I have to say, this sentence made my heart move, so I temporarily terminated the sale of the theater, and then watched the sample of "The End of the World", I am more confident in this proposal, I think this film will bring life to our theater chain again, in addition, about what this movie is about, I think you should not ask me, but Magic Young"!

After saying the last sentence, Douglas smiled and handed the microphone to Luo Yang.

"Thank you"!

Luo Yang took the microphone handed over by Douglas, and then said: "As the director of this movie, let me answer this reporter's question, this "End of the World" is mainly about the myths and legends when the end of the world comes, people in the face of disasters and the only hope of survival, those good and evil sides I can only talk about here at present, if you need to know more, you can go to see the trailer of this movie or wait for the official release of the movie"!

After receiving Luo Yang's answer, the NBC Group's pre-arranged reporter nodded with satisfaction, sat down again, and said that his question was finished.

Seeing that the reporter finished asking questions, reporters from other media in the audience knew that their opportunity had come, and they raised their hands one after another, saying that they had questions they wanted to ask.

"Hello Magic Yang, what kind of expectations do you have for the all-M box office of this "End of the World"?

A reporter got the signal, immediately stood up, and asked Luo Yang his own question.

"Thank you for this reporter's question, for the question of the box office of the movie, in fact, it's useless to say it here now, isn't it, the movie "The End of the World" is my brainchild's work, with an investment of about 400 million yuan, of which the special effects cost 250 million, so I still have great expectations for the box office of this movie"!

Luo Yang did not directly answer the reporter's question, but introduced the cost of the movie, but although the investment of 400 million Chinese yuan is a lot in country M, it is not the most, but the special effects investment of 250 million yuan made the reporters present a little amazed, if it is really as Magic Yang said, there is no exaggeration, then the special effects of this movie are really worth looking forward to.

"Magic Yang, can you answer my question head-on, what is your expected box office for this movie"!

The reporter who started asking questions saw Luo Yang introduce film investment, so he chased after him and continued to remind Luo Yang not to pull the topic away.

"Since this reporter friend has repeatedly asked this question, then I will say it here, I have high expectations for this movie, and I hope that in the next New Year schedule of country M, the box office can get more than 500 million"!

Since Douglas wants to be high-profile, Luo Yang is not ready to keep a low profile, when this reporter repeatedly asked about his expectations for the box office in country M, Luo Yang directly exploded a 500 million, of course, Luo Yang did not say it full, hope is not sure.

Despite this, Luo Yang's words still made these reporters at the scene take a breath of cold air, the expectation of 500 million box office! Is this magic Yang too confident or crazy, does he think that this "End of the World" will be released in the United States in the New Year? With such a major schedule, there are a lot of blockbusters released at the same time, and it is very good to be able to achieve a box office of more than 200 million in M, and a box office of 500 million is a super hit, these reporters don't think that this "End of the World" is so powerful that it can sweep all other film productions in M, and when we are filmmakers in country M, don't they? What's more, this movie is still from Huaguo, where the film industry is in a weak period.

However, these reporters will not kindly remind Luo Yang that even if Luo Yang is crazy, it is better for them, otherwise how can there be exciting news, so after all the reporters quickly noted that Magic Yang's new film "The End of the World" vowed to win 500 million box office in all M (hoping that this word was selectively ignored by them), more reporters began to raise their hands, ready to continue to ask questions.

"On top of this year's New Year's schedule, in addition to "The End of the World", there are four major productions that will appear on the big screen, including "Fallen Stars 2" produced by Brother Pictures and directed by Harder. "Crazy Express" directed by Director Lee, produced by Lion Pictures, "The Power of Metal" directed by Abigail, produced by Galaxy Pictures, and directed by Constance "Dead Island", in addition to these famous directorial works, there are also some small and medium-cost works, Magic Yang, what confidence do you have to beat them"!

A reporter stood up and asked Luo Yang a sharp question, the meaning is very clear, that is, so many works from our country M will be on the screen in the New Year, why does the movie "The End of the World" dare to claim to take more than 500 million at the box office.

Hearing this reporter's question, the other reporters also became excited, this question is a good question, it's not interesting for Magic Yang to boast about Haikou alone, and it will be lively to bring in other big directors who have recently released works, it's best to fight with each other, so don't you have to worry about no news for a while, as for whether the other directors will argue with Magic Yang, joking, isn't there still our media fanning the flames in the middle, I don't believe these big directors can bear it.

"I didn't say I was going to beat these big directors, please don't misinterpret what I mean!"

Hearing the sharp topic raised by this reporter, Luo Yang squinted at the reporter and lightly excused.

However, Luo Yang's defense did not make these reporters take it seriously at all, just kidding, although the annual New Year's schedule is the best golden time in country M, many people in country M choose to rest and relax after a year of hard work, and among these people, at least 80% of them will choose to patronize the cinema, this is a huge, delicious and charming cake, but although this cake is so big, you must know that there are many movies that choose to be released in this schedule every year. In fact, there are not many people left in their turn, Magic Yang, you announced that you want to win 500 million box office in the New Year's schedule, doesn't that mean that you want to beat other directors and the movies they directed.

But although everyone understands this truth, Luo Yang doesn't admit it, and these reporters have no choice, they can't pull Luo Yang's mouth to make him admit it, so in the next question time, these reporters began to shift the topic to this side after asking a little about the details of the movie and the production process, trying to induce Luo Yang to say that sentence in various ways, but Luo Yang also seemed to understand their thoughts, when everyone asked about the details of the movie, Luo Yang would answer these reporters' questions in detail, But as soon as these reporters shifted the topic to Luo Yang and several other directors, Luo Yang began to talk about him left and right, pretending not to understand the meaning, which made these reporters go crazy when they were depressed.

In the end, the press conference ended in a very discordant atmosphere, seeing these reporters leave under the command of the on-site staff, Douglas smiled and said to Luo Yang: "Yang, today's performance is good"!

"It's okay"!

Luo Yang understood that Douglas was referring to Luo Yang's high-profile but not arrogant answer at this press conference, with enough room for manoeuvre, shook his head and smiled, indicating that it was nothing.

"But these reporters are not fuel-efficient lamps, I don't believe you read tomorrow's newspaper, I promise it will be different from what you say today"!

Douglas was sure.

"Isn't that what we want"!

Luo Yang turned to Douglas and said with a smile.

"Yes, that's what we want, the last and biggest wave of publicity has finally begun"!

Douglas nodded, laughing too.
