After Wu Yuan shouted out the box office prediction of 200 million in North America and 500 million in the world, the reporters were like cats that smelled fishy.

A reporter from New York stood up and deliberately asked: "Then may I ask Mr. Depp, what do you think of the director's box office prediction?" ”

Depp's expression was embarrassed for a moment, but he still knew the weight, even if he had any opinions at this time, he had to stand up to his own people!

"I believe in the director's vision, and since he thinks that our film can achieve this result, then I naturally hope that the director's prediction is correct!"

Depp's answer was very tactful, and the disappointed look on the face of the reporter who asked the question swept away, so he had to sigh and sit down.

Another reporter immediately stood up and asked, "What does Miss Keira Knightley think of Director Wu's box office prediction?" ”

"Do you think this forecast is too high or too low?"

Kayla, who was suddenly asked, was stunned, and subconsciously said, "I don't know either."

However, she quickly reacted and made up for it: "I'm still a rookie actor, I don't know much about the box office or anything, and it's already my luckiest thing that the director can choose me to play the heroine."

"As for the box office, I'll leave it to the director and producer, I really don't know much about it."

Well, a 17-year-old girl, a sentence of "I don't understand" can solve 99% of the problem.

The reporters quickly shifted the conversation to other people, from producer Jerry to other supporting characters, all of whom were asked a lot of questions.

Overall, most journalists were gloating and didn't think "Pirates of the Caribbean" would be high at the box office.

You Wu Yuan is the best director in Berlin, and the global box office of "Juno" can't be blown like this with a global box office of 200 million US dollars!

Everyone has thought of a press release in their stomachs, and they want to publish Wu Yuan's "unashamed" remarks, and wait for "Pirates of the Caribbean" to be nailed to the pillar of shame after the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Talking big comes with consequences and costs!

Wu Yuan took in all the excited eyes of these reporters, and of course he could guess what the reporters were thinking.

But he doesn't care, isn't there a topic, there's news heat.

It's no wonder that Director Feng likes to shoot everywhere, which can indeed bring a lot of topicality and heat to the movie.

Especially Wu Yuan, who knows the answer in advance, is more suitable for bold fire.

"Okay, next reporter."

After an hour-long interview, each of the main creators did not fail, and was asked all kinds of questions to the point that one head was three big, and the reporters ended the interview unsatisfied.

After the interview, the reporters were busy sorting out the interview script, and the creators of "Pirates of the Caribbean" also had to move to a social luncheon at noon.

The so-called social luncheon is actually a vanity fair.

People of all sizes in the circle who were invited to the afternoon premiere will be present.

The luncheon scene arranged as a pure Western-style buffet is suitable for these large and small characters to communicate with each other, I don't know how much cooperation, how much dirty, are all negotiated on such an occasion.

And on this occasion, Wu Yuan, the director of "Pirates of the Caribbean", is naturally one of the central figures.

As soon as they arrived at the luncheon banquet hall, a group of middle-aged men with blond hair and blue eyes surrounded Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan knew one of them, Harvey Cotton, the vice president of Disney.

As soon as Javey Cotton saw Wu Yuan, he pulled him and the others to introduce: "This is Daniel Wu, the youngest best director in Berlin in history, and the most successful and excellent director under the age of 30!" ”

"You may not know that he has an independent film company, and the "Hangover" that broke 200 million at the North American box office a few months ago was produced by his company."

Of course, those who can get together with Javey Cotton are not "low-end people" in the circle, and the worst are also gold medal producers, and several of them are owners of independent film companies.

Originally, they weren't very interested in Wu Yuan, but when they heard that Light Age, who produced "The Hangover", was his company, they were immediately interested.

"Hey, Daniel, why don't you hand over the release of The Hangover to Disney, you know, Disney is doing no worse than Fox is doing the release." Harvey Cotton put one hand on Wu Yuan's shoulder and said with some complaints.

I really can't answer that.

In the six major Hollywood companies, Disney should be the film and television company with the least agency distribution, because their main business is to engage in animated films and manufacture peripheral products.

Finding them to distribute live-action movies as an agent is not a very reliable thing.

"Harvey, you know, I don't participate in the specific management of the light era, John is mainly responsible for this, and he is professional in the production and distribution, and even I have to listen to him."

Wu Yuan shrugged his shoulders, picked up a glass of champagne from the waiter who walked by, and touched it with Harvey.

"Seriously, we didn't know 'The Hangover' would be so high at the box office." Wu Yuan said with a smile: "It's also lucky." ”

Javey Cotton nodded, then his eyes lit up, and he said with some expectation: "Daniel, you have a very good eye, and you can get a box office dark horse like "The Hangover". ”

"Then you are so optimistic about our "Pirates of the Caribbean", it looks like this movie is really likely to break 500 million US dollars at the global box office!"

Wu Yuan's bold remarks at the press conference just now have long been known by these invited guests.

There are those who disdain, there are those who ridicule, there are those who are sarcastic, and there are indeed very few people who really believe his words.

But in the eyes of Harvey Cotton, who knew that Wu Yuan had his own film company and produced the box office dark horse "The Hangover", Wu Yuan's prediction was not a big deal.

People really have a few brushes on their bodies, at least in the selection of films, there are uniqueness!

The thought of this made Javey Cotton's heart burn.

It's just that before he could say a few more words to Wu Yuan, the executive president of New Line Film Company invited Wu Yuan away first.

I don't know why the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean" invited the CEO of New Line Films.

Or maybe he came for Wu Yuan.

"Daniel, do you mind if I call you that?" Elad Fowler, who is nearly fifty years old, picked up a glass of champagne and touched a glass with Wu Yuan, and asked very kindly.

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, although he didn't know why the president of the new line found him, Wu Yuan still responded very cheerfully: "Of course it's no problem." ”

"That's right." Erad groaned, and didn't say anything to Wu Yuan, but asked directly: "Daniel, are you interested in directing "Rush Hour 3"?" ”

“What？” Wu Yuan looked at Elad with a stunned face.

Did "Rush Hour 3" be established so early?

Didn't the film start filming until 2006?

And even if this movie is going to be made, why change the director?

"Elard, didn't Bright do a great job, the first two films were very successful at the box office, why change the director?" Wu Yuan asked suspiciously.

The corners of Elard's mouth curved downward, and he said with a bitter face, "I don't want to either." ”

"I'll tell you the truth, Jackie and Chris had a falling out."

"In the next "Rush Hour", there will only be one of them left, and that is Jackie."

But Bright didn't accept it, he thought that if the actor was changed, the next "Rush Hour" would not do well at the box office, so he said that if the actor was changed, he would not direct the next one.

"Jackie suggested that I find a new director, and I thought maybe you could be a better partner with Jackie."

"After all, you're all from Huaxia and know a lot about Chinese action movies, aren't you?"
