A reporter puts his hand in front of his eyes and keeps changing his gestures. Someone next to me wondered, "What are you doing?" ”

"I'm thinking about how to peel raw eggs by hand." The reporter said suspiciously, "What a dexterous finger this is." You said...... What's after the eggshell? ”

"Egg membrane ......," the man also exclaimed, "Peel off a complete egg membrane and not break it?!" ”

"This is the way of thieves...... This Tao is not morality, but truth. Every line has its own unique skills...... the reporter sighed, "They can do some gimmicks, Director Zhang is famous, but Director Feng's film is not bad." ”

"Yes, with an investment of 20 million, they can't bear to rush to the box office of 100 million yuan?"

"cháo up cháo falls." Wang Zhongjun said in a low voice: "Heroes must be praised, and there are no thieves in the world, and people cannot despair." It is necessary to properly bring up their interest. ”

"This is just the first wave." Lin Xiao kept a smile and nodded at the reporter, and also replied in a low voice, "Mr. Wang, you think, how can they calculate in dollars, this has already explained a fact!" ”

Wang Zhongjun's eyes lit up, "You mean, behind him is the support of American companies?!" ”

Immediately, he reacted, and his heart felt a beat skipping, "This means...... Will the hero be released worldwide? Calculate the global box office like an American blockbuster?! Even...... Hit the Oscars?! ”

Lin Xiao nodded silently, but he didn't care in his heart.

Zhang Yimou did have the idea of hitting the Oscars, but he was not born as a screenwriter like Feng Xiaogang, and his ability to control the plot is obviously lacking.

So much so that the hero's global release is a mixed reputation, and most people go to see it for the names he has accumulated over the red lanterns of the year. It also got a good box office, but in the later ambush on all sides, the city was full of golden armor, three guns, and the global box office rì benefited, and the three guns reached a peak, and there was a lot of scolding at that time. If it weren't for the opening ceremony of the Olympics that "saved" him, his reputation would have plummeted.

With this lesson from the past, Lin Xiao understands that before he fully understands the commercialization, casually participating in the global release will only ruin his own reputation, and it is better to focus on China, a place with a similar cultural atmosphere in Asia.

It was precisely because he knew the final appearance of the hero that he dared to take this move.

Lin Xiao, Wang Zhongjun, and Feng Xiaogang's words were immediately transmitted to the Lang Hotel in the form of mobile phones.

"Director Zhang." A reporter got up and asked, "Just now the colleagues of Xinhai Hotel came to the news, Huayi's crew was officially named the world without thieves, with an investment of 20 million, and the investor Lin Xiao said that the hero has high investment specifications and a strong lineup, and said that both sides are icebreakers of Chinese commercial films, and there is no winner or loser." ”

"What?" "He said that? Isn't this bowing your head and admitting defeat? "I finally encountered a showdown between two domestic blockbusters for the New Year, and one side lowered its profile first?!"

Suddenly, the reporters were discussing, and they couldn't imagine that there were no thieves in the world who had been in the spotlight a few days ago, and they actually bowed their heads at this moment? !

"Director Zhang's name is too big, and the 100 million investment here should be the last straw that crushes the camel...... "A reporter sighed, "Director Zhang is the godfather of my country's film, and the others here, who is not a symbol of the era...... It is also good that Huayi can clearly put the position right. ”

In other words, Huayi knew that its influence could not be compared to Director Zhang's crew, so it simply directed its attention directly to the hero and let it fight with foreign blockbusters. And he has accumulated silently, once the box office is popular, everyone's attention will naturally fall on it, and then it will have a low-key reputation? The man next to him said suspiciously.

"It should be so, but in this way, all the limelight will become heroes." The person who began to speak frowned, "But this kind of retreat is advancing, even if the box office is bleak at the end of the year, and then affected by the heroes, the media should not be too harsh." ”

"After all, these two films are ice-breakers for domestic blockbusters."

On the main stage, a rare smile appeared on Zhang Yimou's thin face.

The 100 million investment just now is just an appetizer and a fuse, and the hero's crew can overwhelm the world without thieves There are too many places.

They plan to target the shortcomings of the world without thieves one by one, first investment, then directors, artists, and finally channels, and they want to break all the places that the world is proud of. Let this film, which was highly anticipated a few days ago, become their cornerstone stone.

Unexpectedly, the other party knew each other so well that he directly showed weakness.

"There are no thieves in the world, I appreciate Director Feng's methods, he can see the big in the small. However, I believe that Director Zhang has made so many award-winning works, and the quality can be guaranteed. This time, it was Zhang Weiping who spoke, "I'm afraid there is no director in China who has won more awards than Director Zhang." ”

The implication is, what about Feng Xiaogang? Gone abroad? The new actor, the heroine of Qiong Yao's drama, after watching it, what is it compared to our lineup?

"As for the victory ...... defeat?"

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly, an awkward Chinese voice sounded, "As for the victory or defeat, I completely disagree with their point of view!" ”

Following this voice, everyone was surprised to find that it was James sitting next to Zhang Weiping.

"To introduce myself, I'm the Mirax Hero Project Lead, James. Plum. "His Chinese is very non-standard, but fortunately he can basically understand it" At the same time, I want to tell you that Hero's investment is funded by Miramax Company. This film, which will be released worldwide, is a blockbuster in the true sense of the word. ”

At this moment, the audience fell silent, because everyone was shocked and speechless.

Miramax, the world-famous film company, Chinese journalists are no strangers, Shaolin football, and this year's Infernal Affairs, all have Miramax investment!

That is to say...... Will this film enter the overseas market? A reporter exclaimed, "This is the first time this has happened!" ”

"Overseas Channels...... This is a global box office like Titanic! No wonder Huayi and Dawn put on a low profile, they must have known the rumors for a long time. ”

"The global release, the domestic box office is one of them, Director Zhang's heart is so big."

James didn't care about everyone's surprise, and said to himself, "In the United States, before the start of filming of every film, every step will be calculated in mind, what kind of opponent there is, and how to surpass it." It can be said that every good film is an opponent. ”

He looked around at the crowd, "If there is a situation like the current situation in China, I dare to say, commercial spies will be dispatched." ”

"Since it is an opponent, there are winners and losers, and this victory and defeat, aside from its own quality, is actually accumulated bit by bit. From the press conference to the box office report. Among them, there are not only the efforts of the director, but also the open and secret battles of major companies. As you said, the crew without thieves in the world shows weakness, I can only think that they are afraid! ”

"I don't blame them, because the two crews don't have anything comparable to each other. An investment of over 100 million, a superstar lineup, and a godfather-level director. The other is an investment of 20 million, a second-class star lineup, a new director. Anyone can see the gap, not to mention them. On the contrary, I think they are very wise and clever to put themselves in the right position, that is, the heroes go to face the foreign blockbusters, and the world has no thieves to follow behind and drink soup. ”

When Zhang Yimou heard this, he still remained silent, which can actually be regarded as a kind of acquiescence, but he won't say it.

His resume is the capital of self-confidence, and he fully believes that heroes absolutely have overwhelming capital! Even overseas blockbusters must be coiled up for him at the end of this year.

James was still talking, and it could be seen that he was very excited, and his face was red.

"The cooperation between Miramax and Director Zhang is a strong combination, and we have the ability to promote this film to the world and put it in theaters in the United States. And can there be no thieves in the world? Friends, this is obviously impossible. The positioning of the two films is different. They also clearly see this gap. ”

If Lin Xiao was here, I am afraid he would scoff at him. James kept saying that he was talking about things with a kind of "global theory", but he never thought that the main battlefield of thieves and heroes in the world is China! This is their roots!

One is already feeling that it is neither light nor heavy, while the other is fighting with all his might, and there is a difference in thinking at the beginning.

“…… Therefore, I can only say that this victory and defeat began at the press conference, and they chose to surrender without a fight. This is the performance of cowards. Throwing in the towel at a time when the Chinese film industry is transitioning, they have lost their ability to compete......"

Chen Zhiming raised his eyebrows and smiled, and Li Lianjie next to him asked in a low voice, "This investor is the representative of Miramax?" ”

"Lao Mei speaks more directly, don't mind." Zhang Weiping said with a smile.

Praise songs, they won't get tired of listening to them for a long time, even if they think James is talking a little too much, but the taste of thousands of people's admiration, who wouldn't like it?

The flashing lights were non-stop, and the reporters were already struggling to record. A piece of information overflows from their pen, as long as you go back and process it, it will be a good article.

And the tone of the article has been set.

"Zhang Yimou, hero! Invest 15 million dollars! Miramax Invest! Released worldwide! Huayi, there are no thieves in the world at dawn, and they return home. ”

"Who would have thought that Director Feng's new film, which was still on the cusp a few days ago, had no thieves in the world would turn the wind around and bow his head and admit defeat in Director Zhang's press conference at the same time? Is it an investment of 100 million, or is it Miramax's global theater chain? ”

"The battle between the two cities, I was expecting to see a competing ending, but I didn't expect that one party directly abstained. I have to say that it is the sadness of the film industry. ”

James sat down, and Zhang Weiping said with a smile, "What Mr. James said is good, but I still want to reiterate that this time, it is all an ice-breaking trip, whether it is a hero or a thief in the world, they are all pioneers, and they are also worthy of respect." ”

In his mind, they punched out, only to find that the opponent bowed his head and admitted defeat before the punch arrived, although he was a little unhappy, but he achieved the result they wanted.
