At the premiere of the movie, the protagonists were Wei Xiaolin and Ni Yueer.

Don't look at Sun Peng receiving Luo Cheng and others outside just now, that's because these stars are basically his friends, so Wei Xiaolin was busy inside at that time. But when the premiere began, the protagonist naturally switched to Wei Xiaolin.

It's not the old Wei chicken thief, but Sun Peng insists on this.

In fact, during the filming and production of "Dragon Gate Inn", Wei Xiaolin's contribution was really no less than Sun Peng's, and in a sense, it was even more important. After all, Sun Peng is an inexperienced newcomer, and he doesn't know much about his sincerity except for the shots in his head, and in addition to helping Sun Peng, it is precisely because of Wei Xiaolin's existence that the "Dragon Gate Inn" in the nineties on the earth can be rejuvenated and re-added more and better things!

For Wei Xiaolin's work, Sun Peng is really not very satisfied.

And......

The most important thing is that Sun Peng is completely unfamiliar with what he is going to do at the premiere, and he is all handed over to the Forbidden City and Wei Xiaolin to operate, and he is here to learn this time; Second, he is not interested in talking about creative concepts and movie connotations on stage, and he doesn't want to go up and say some empty words that he doesn't even want to.

Whether it's good or not, don't you know if you look at it?

So except for going up and speaking two sentences at the beginning, and then answering a few questions from the host in the middle, Sun Peng was basically in a state of spectatorship throughout the whole process. sat on the stage, and then watched Wei Xiaolin, Ni Yue'er, and even Xiaolin Jiahui and He Qingfang move their mouths, and then watched Liao Chen move their hands and feet on the stage, practicing their real kung fu......

However, the process of designing the Forbidden City is no problem, but at the last time for reporters to ask questions, Sun Peng can't dodge.

"Alright friends, now it's free time for questions!"

As soon as the host's voice fell, a man in his early thirties raised his right hand high, and stood up without waiting for the frowning host to call him: "May I ask Mr. Bai, I noticed that on the credits, this movie was co-directed by you and Director Wei Xiaolin, and as far as I know, you don't seem to have directed any movies before, just made a short film that only lasted a few minutes!" So...... Who is the main person who made the filming of this movie? If it is all done by director Wei Xiaolin, what qualifications do you have to be listed as a director alongside him? ”

After this person finished speaking, many people's brows were furrowed.

This guy has bad intentions!

And the most anxious is the host, who is glaring at this guy fiercely. You must know that according to the pre-arranged plan, he will next pick a few people who ask questions seemingly at random, and ask some questions that are most suitable for the actors and directors to play, but this guy ......

Who the hell is it? Why are you so unruly?

However, Sun Peng smiled disapprovingly, took the microphone in the host's hand and said loudly: "If you look at the specific shooting, of course Director Wei completed it!" Because like you just said, I've never made a movie except for "Battle of the Warehouse", haha, I even studied in a directing class at my alma mater, and I haven't got a certificate until now because my graduation work hasn't been released yet......"

"Haha......"

Sun Peng paused a little when he said this, and the audience suddenly burst into laughter.

Shrugging his shoulders, Sun Peng continued: "So there is no doubt that the filming is mainly directed by Director Wei, and I have learned a lot from him during this period, so here please allow me to say to him again for my hard work!" Thanks, Director Wei! ”

"Oops, you're welcome, you're welcome!"

Wei Xiaolin hurriedly stood up, waved his hand and smiled.

"But ......"

After nodding at Wei Xiaolin, Sun Peng suddenly looked at the man again, and at the same time his eyes narrowed slightly: "Since you have looked at the credits, then you should also find that I am the only screenwriter of this movie, right?" I can also tell you that more than half of the shots in this movie were designed by me...... I don't know how to shoot, but I know what it's like! ”

"Yes, I can attest to that! Many times, I just realized Mr. Bai's ideas. ”

At this time, Wei Xiaolin immediately nodded and said.

Except for Ni Yue'er and other actors who participated in the filming of the movie, everyone else had a look of surprise in their eyes at this time - this result is not the same as most people imagined.

Even Ma Boyuan, who was most familiar with Sun Peng, was stunned.

Before hearing these words, they also thought that Sun Peng's name as a director might be a bit unworthy of the name, after all, it is difficult for anyone to believe that someone can successfully direct a commercial film for the first time, and it is a commercial film with an investment of tens of millions. You must know that Sun Peng's resume is very clear, he has almost never made a movie before, and he has only made one short film.

But now listen to him......

"So I personally think that I am qualified to be a director!"

Looking at the man who asked the question just now, Sun Peng smiled slightly and said, "This gentleman, what do you think?" I'm not qualified to be listed as a director alongside Director Wei? ”

“…… Of course. ”

After the corners of his mouth twitched twice, the man sat down stupidly.

When the questioner was selected again, the host didn't dare to wait for this kind of spoiler any longer, and immediately clicked on a guy who had been arranged in advance.

"Mr. Lao Bai, just now everyone has watched the trailer of the movie, and also seen the wonderful performances of several leading actors and our traditional Chinese kung fu, and must be full of expectations for the movie, so I want to ask you next, what is your box office expectation for this movie?"

"Box office?"

Slightly stunned, Sun Peng immediately smiled and said: "500 million, I am very satisfied with 500 million." Of course, it would be better if I could rush to a billion in one go, and I should be so happy that I couldn't sleep all night, haha! ”

"Hehe......"

Hearing Sun Peng say this, the audience suddenly burst into a good-natured laughter.

Billion?

That's a lot of that!

Maybe the film market in China is very big now, and the movies that box office more than one billion yuan a year are in double digits, but most of those are big productions with huge investments, and the occasional box office dark horse can produce one or two a year?

"Dragon Gate Inn", which has an investment of only tens of millions, can it be so powerful?

In fact, whether it is Forbidden City Pictures, the experienced Wei Xiaolin and Ni Yue'er, they have all suggested that Sun Peng can exaggerate the production cost appropriately, such as directly investing hundreds of millions of dollars or something - anyway, plus publicity fees, etc., it is basically the same. But Sun Peng, who was not interested in this, directly refused, and the news released was the real cost of the movie, without a trace of moisture!

The final figure is 57 million!

plus the publicity in the later stage, etc., it will be eight or ninety million at most, and unless such a movie is that kind of phenomenal dark horse, let alone one billion, even the 500 million that Sun Peng said is quite difficult.

"Huh? That's not right! ”

After laughing with the crowd, Ma Boyuan suddenly noticed the faint smile on Sun Peng's face, and suddenly sighed in his heart: "Ouch, this kid, isn't he joking?" This...... One billion, does he really have this confidence? Hey, that's interesting......"
