Chapter 172: Bragging
In a war of words in the media, both sides may be mindful of their rhetoric and try not to say harsh words.
But when he came to Zhang Yuanjun, he wouldn't be polite.
Now he finally understands why Chen Kaige lost his temper with Liu Yan, some things are really unbearable sometimes.
It's like if I make a pot of food with sincerity, and I'm about to serve it to the customer, and you suddenly jump out and tell the customer that this restaurant is not good, the chef is not good, the hygiene is not good, and the ingredients are not good.
You can't die!
Of course, everyone has the freedom to comment, like it or not, it's okay.
Since you expressed your dislike, then don't blame me for retorting.
"I don't know what this professor teaches," Zhang Yuanjun replied to a reporter's question in an interview when he was in Jinling the next day, "He said that he is a film scholar, but I haven't seen him publish any works, and the latest article seems to have been published 10 years ago." I just want to ask this teacher, you said that you are a film and television worker, but how long has it been since you went to the front line of the crew? How long ago was the last time you touched a camera to look at a monitor? ”
"Don't you agree with the professor?" Journalists want him to speak out.
"Of course I don't agree," Zhang Yuanjun fulfilled the reporter's wish, "My 4 years of college grades are okay, my teachers are very conscientious, and I don't need him to teach me what is advanced aesthetics." ”
"Then do you have any expectations for the box office of "Rise to Fame"?"
In the past, Zhang Yuanjun would definitely say the words "hand it over to the audience", but this time it was different:
"I hope there will be 50 million."
Not to mention reporters, even Tian Zhuangzhuang and Zhu Yawen and others who came to publicize together were shocked!
The filming cost of "Rise to Fame" is more than 2 million, plus the total cost of post-production and publicity is a little more than 4 million, which is less than "Crazy Stone" - the press release of "Stone" deliberately did not say nearly 2 million post-production and publicity costs, and the actual cost of "Stone" should be between 5 million and 6 million.
The current box office of "Crazy Stone" of 20 million is already a miracle, and Zhang Yuanjun's big mouth is 50 million!
It's going to make people see jokes!
You can even blow 20 million.
It was too late to change Tian's condition, because when the reporter asked him what the expected box office was after being shaken by 50 million, Zhang Yuanjun's answer was still 50 million.
"Yes, it's 50 million, you can log out."
Blowing the box office before the screening is the consistent operation of the main creator, Zhang Weiping blew "Ambush on All Sides" the year before last to have a box office of more than 300 million, and last year said that "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" will create the highest box office of literary films.
But Zhang Yuanjun doesn't have Zhang Yimou in his hands.
Tian Zhuangzhuang has never proven himself at the box office before, why do you dare to shout 50 million!
Big words are big words, but this wave of Zhang Yuanjun's blowing did play a very good role in promoting "Becoming Famous".
So, that night, two headlines appeared on the entertainment version:
"Zhang Yuanjun: I don't need him to teach me what is high aesthetics"
"The sword is 50 million! Can "Rise to Fame" really make a name for yourself? ”
50 million?
Everyone knows that this is Zhang Yuanjun bragging for propaganda.
"No, I really think our film can exceed 50 million." Zhang Yuanjun defended himself at the dinner table, "The summer file environment is good, "Stone" can tear off 20 million, why can't I bite off a piece of meat?" ”
"Then you should blow a little less, even if you blow 30 million, good guy, you can quote 50 million, and Teacher Tian and I can't stop it if we want to." Lu Fangsheng said.
"What are you stopping?" Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile, "If you believe it, you naturally believe it, and if you don't believe it, I'm bragging about it." Could it be that in the end, before it reached 50 million, they still had to pull me to shoot the target? Zhang Yuanjun thought about it.
"If you really want to engage in publicity, you should report it again at that time, how cool it is for you to report more than 100 million." Even Mr. Tian began to make fun of him.
"With a cost of 4 million and a box office of over 100 million, I'm bragging, not crazy. I shouted 100 million, and people thought I was sick. Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.
"You shout 50 million, and others almost think you're sick."
"The disease is not as serious as 100 million, and some are cured." Zhang Yuanjun said while eating, and he couldn't help laughing.
In order to achieve the 50 million cattle that were blown out, Tian Xiangxiang took a group of leading actors to run the roadshow frantically, but fortunately, Zhang Yuanjun's popularity is at its peak now, and every time he arrives, there will be countless fans watching and cheering.
When promoting at Changsha Station, Zhang Yuanjun even held a lottery on the spot.
"Is it good for us to be like this," Zhang Yuanjun held a ball in his hand, "I will turn my back to everyone and throw the ball out, whoever receives it, I will invite whoever watches "Rise to Fame", everyone who wins the lottery can bring 2 family members or friends to watch the movie together, that is to say, if one person wins the lottery, we will reimburse 3 movie tickets, okay?" Media friends are also counted, I will reimburse 3 movie tickets when I receive the ball. ”
"Good!!" The audience boiled.
Zhang Yuanjun turned his back to the audience: "Ready, I'll throw it." 1 2 3! ”
Zhang Yuanjun turned around and saw that a boy had grabbed the ball, he stood up and waved to the stage.
"Congratulations to this boy, come, our staff handed him the microphone, he seems to have something to say." The moderator guided.
The boy took the microphone and said, "I'm a fan of Yuanjun, and I especially like your songs." ”
"Thank you, thank you." Zhang Yuanjun said.
"I won the movie ticket today, I will definitely go to see it."
"Thank you." Zhang Yuanjun looked at it and asked, "You have three tickets, how do you plan to divide them?" Do you want to bring your mom and dad to watch it together? ”
"I'm not a local, I work in Changsha, and my parents aren't here."
"Oh. So who are you going to invite to watch it with? ”
"I'm going to invite my two brothers from the same dormitory from college to see it."
"Okay." Zhang Yuanjun asked again, "Is the girl sitting next to you your girlfriend?" ”
"Yes."
"Don't you bring your girlfriend with you?" Zhang Yuanjun is too bad.
"Hahahaha!" The audience burst into laughter.
The boy sat down awkwardly, and his girlfriend next to him punched him.
The staff went up to take the microphone and the ball, and left the boy's contact information, saying that someone would contact him after the event, and he would go to the movies at that time.
At the end of the event, Zhang Yuanjun gave away 2 more winning places, and also sang a song "Those Years" at the request of the audience - the song in the graduation season is particularly popular.
"At the end of the year, I have a concert in the capital, remember to come and see it." Before the end, I didn't forget to promote my concert.
"Come by all means!" There were girls in the audience shouting at the top of their voices.
"Come less, how can you come in Changsha, just watch a movie in a few days." Zhang Yuanjun joked that today's theme is still "Rise to Fame".
"I hope you will support us in "Rise to Fame"! See you on August 3! The creator bowed, and the event ended.
