Chapter 471: Be Don Quixote and challenge Hollywood blockbusters

Obviously, with the chic brother in front of the pearl, the name of the fang group and Jiang Ruolin's opinion are no longer important, because they themselves can't say anything, and it is impossible to be like someone, who is simply going to blow the cowhide out of the sky (reporters think).

Therefore, Ma Xiang, who was still immersed in inexplicable emotions, just asked the two of them routinely, and then handed over the topic to director Chen Musheng.

"Director Chen, you have heard it with your own ears, and the five leading actors have all given their own estimates, so what about you? Do you think that the estimation is extremely confident? Or is the unanimous estimate of Ting Feng and Wu Jing a little more accurate? ”

To be honest, Chen Musheng is really a little embarrassed about this problem, because if he can, of course he hopes that Tang Xiaosheng will estimate it correctly, after all, who doesn't like a high box office when he is a director?

However, if you look at it rationally, it is obvious that the estimates of Xie Tingfeng and Fang Group are definitely much more reliable.

If it had been before, maybe he wouldn't have dared to expect a total box office of 180 million, because the opponent is indeed too strong, especially "Harry Potter", which is simply invincible at the global box office! He is a Hong Kong film director, how can he have the confidence to confront him?

But now, with the existence of someone who has changed his identity to an 'international superstar' and a 'king of Asia', and this movie happens to be his 'debut', he is sure that the box office will exceed 200 million at once.

Yes, he also thinks of someone's huge number of loyal fans, and he is not greedy, as long as 1/5 of them are willing to spend money to go to the cinema to support it, it is equivalent to an extra 1.4 million moviegoers. The total box office is nearly 60 million more.

And then. Under the effect of good word-of-mouth. Isn't it very simple to have a total box office of over 200 million?

Therefore, between 180 million and 200 million and 200 million and 400 million, there is no doubt that as long as you are in the third grade of primary school, you can see that the former is obviously more in line with his psychological expectations, and as for the latter, then take it as a dream!

Thinking of this, Chen Musheng said with a straight face: "I'll tell you the truth. There is no one in the world who doesn't care about the box office, no matter who they are, they definitely hope that their movies can sell well, and I am certainly no exception! ”

After he finished speaking, he coughed lightly and said solemnly: "The estimation of the five leading actors, to be honest, really excites me, because I don't know the truth at all, they all have such strong confidence in this play, really." This made me feel more confident about this work! ”

After going around in circles, Chen Musheng finally said: "Okay, friends from the media. Please listen clearly, my estimated target is 200 million Hong Kong dollars, this is not a joke, but a real estimate, because I don't believe that a wonderful drama can't get the results it deserves, not to mention, our distribution partner Poly Bona is also a very strong promoter, so I personally think that this drama is likely to get the estimated box office. ”

"Hey, the director Chen Musheng is also starting to get hot-headed? He is actually more radical than Xie Tingfeng, and directly shouted out more than 200 million, this is to hit his head and bleed before he knows what it means to recognize reality! ”

", from the starring actor to the director, a group of people are a little abnormal! encountered sniping before and after two Hollywood blockbusters, if it were Lao Tzu, he would never say that he would want more than 200 million, as long as the cost is recovered, it will already be very good, these guys are more radical than the other! ”

"Lao Chen also hung up this time, think about it, he and Huanyu have made a lot of money! The new actor who signed for 2 million at the beginning, but now he has become a world-class star with great box office appeal, Nima, this is simply equivalent to picking up a principal check of tens of millions that can be redeemed at any time, it is really shit luck! ”

……

Chen Musheng also received the kind of treatment that someone had tried just now, that is, as soon as his words fell, the people in the theater began to buzz and discuss, and everyone expressed their opinions or talked to themselves, making the originally quiet order suddenly chaotic.

At this time, of course, Ma Xiang, who was the master of ceremonies, would not sit idly by, he hurriedly took the microphone and said: "Director Chen, I really admire you very much for your strong self-confidence, and I also wish you a successful completion of the task." ”

He said a kind word, and then changed the topic: "But I think the friends present must want to ask you a question, that is, for the two obstacles of "King Kong" and "Harry Potter", which are destined to fight with the movie "The True Colors of Men", do you have any tricks?" ”

It's finally here!

Chen Musheng's smile froze instantly, obviously this question gave him a headache, because he really didn't have much to deal with Hollywood blockbusters, he could only hope that his works could get a good reputation, and then coupled with the appeal of leading actors such as Tang Xiaoshi and Xie Tingfeng, more people could enter the cinema.

After all, in the film industry, the schedule crash is really normal, and there are only two ways to deal with it: either change the release date, or simply hit it hard, and there is no second way to go.

Therefore, Lao Chen said bluntly after a long groan: "There are only two ways to deal with it, either we will resign from the release, or we will fight head-on." ”

He glanced at someone and said with a smile: "Just like what the dashing boy said just now, we can't always have an inferiority complex about Hollywood movies, and we can't always feel that our Chinese movies can't withstand them, so we have to bow to the so-called Hollywood blockbusters for the rest of our lives, and let them occupy the prime time in China!" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Musheng coughed lightly, and then said solemnly: "This time, we are going to be a brave Don Quixote, no matter who the opponent is, we will not be afraid of the first to fight, this time, we are going to be a challenger, the challenge is Hollywood blockbusters, we have to do our best to give it a try, to see if our domestic films will be crushed into scum by the powerful enemy, and there is no place to die." ”

"Bang Bang ......"

Under the leadership of the chic brother who took the lead in smiling and applauding, the people in the theater also applauded enthusiastically, and most of them were very excited about the name of 'challenger' mentioned by Chen Musheng, and at the same time had a deep sense of admiration for him.

Because to be honest, over the years, domestic films have entered the blockbuster era, but there is really no one who dares to compete with Hollywood blockbusters in the same schedule.

Even if it was just three months ago, "The City Full of Golden Armor", which was just painted three months ago and claimed to have invested 60 million US dollars, don't look at them making a big splash, holding a world premiere in Los Angeles, followed by the so-called global simultaneous release, there are several superstars in the starring lineup, and they also spend a lot of money on advertising, but in fact, the reason why this movie was released on December 14 is because they want to actively avoid Hollywood masterpieces, for fear of being squeezed.

With such a high investment and such a strong lineup, "Golden Armor" didn't dare to go head-to-head with Hollywood blockbusters, so he could only avoid it honestly, but Chen Musheng was stunned to take the movie "The True Colors of Men" head-on, and he had to fight with two blockbusters once, and the reason was also very good.

Excuse me, what kind of spirit is this?

Therefore, it is almost very natural, everyone's applause immediately surged like waves, and even most of the reporters were clapping, in order to praise Chen Musheng's courage who knew that there were tigers in the mountains, but preferred to go to the tiger mountains.

As people of insight, they all know very well that domestic blockbusters can no longer compromise on Hollywood blockbusters, not to mention the problem of not looking good on face after compromise, the key is that they have given the prime time to foreign films, and they are still making money in China again and again, which has a great impact on the development of their own country's films!

After all, when fans are accustomed to watching American blockbusters on holidays, how much market is there for domestic movies? It's hard to change habits!

This wave of applause rang for more than 10 seconds before it gradually stopped, and was treated so warmly, Chen Musheng didn't look too proud, but the smile on his face was even brighter, and he shook his head a little chicly, a little windy~ coquettish.

Subsequently, when Ma Xiang asked two more related questions, he said enthusiastically: "The narrative of the creators has come to an end here, and the following link is the question time of media reporters, a total of one hour, and the questioner will be determined by me!" ”

Oh yes, it's finally time to wait!

In the soft cheers of the reporters, Ma Xiang added: "Everyone must pay attention to one point, the premise of asking questions must be related to the content of this premiere, if it is not relevant, the creators will have the right to refuse to answer, I hope you remember this, and abide by the rules of asking questions, whoever clicks, who will ask, if you don't click, please continue to wait for the opportunity, thank you!" ”

Journalists have nothing to complain about, because this kind of regulation is the same at almost every press conference and press conference, and whether it is really necessary to comply with it depends on the specific situation.

After about a few seconds, the audience fell silent, and Ma Xiang pointed to a female reporter and said, "The reporter in a suit and short skirt, the first question is yours, excuse me!" ”

With his identification, someone in the audience handed the microphone over, and the female reporter took it very happily, and then said loudly: "Hello creators, I am Su Han, a reporter from "Entertainment 100%", I want to ask Director Chen, you just estimated that the box office of this movie is expected to exceed 200 million, right?" So may I ask, where do you think the most important box office for this movie is? What is the box office in the mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan? ”

Damn, this woman is quite smart, brother thought that the first question would run to me! That made the director a little unhappy.

Brother Chic breathed a sigh of relief and didn't worry about anything. (To be continued......)
