Just when everyone was eagerly waiting for the battle between [Big Shot] and [Wind Talker], a big news suddenly broke out. Brother Huayi sent out a message at 9 o'clock that they would be meeting at 11:30 in the morning. Red Flag Cinema held a premiere, and [Big Name] was released one day in advance. All media colleagues are welcome to attend.

There was such news in all the major media, and almost everyone was dumbfounded. What the Huayi brothers did was really clever. It simply gave people a sense of conspiracy and conspiracy. .

Lao Bai took a look at the news. At this time, he and Yu Guo were having breakfast together. They were used to the bean juice and fried dough sticks. At this time, although the two of them were not short of money, their breakfast habits had not changed.

At this moment, Lao Bai put down Douzhi and said: "Yu Guo, forget it, go there right away, otherwise you will be in trouble when you can't find a suitable venue. This matter is not like Feng Xiaogang's style, he will not do it like this. "

Small steel cannons are usually straightforward, which means they don't play so many tricks. Therefore, in a situation like this, Lao Bai recognized at a glance that this was not Feng Xiaogang's handiwork.

Yu Guo slapped five yuan on the table, held the camera and said: "This is definitely not Feng Xiaogang's handiwork. Don't forget that [big name] Ye Ming took over. Dong Ping of Poly Huayi withdrew the funds. At this time, Ye Ming Ming took advantage of the opportunity and got such an opportunity. This was Ye Ming's method. Moreover, Hongqi Cinema was originally part of Ye Ming's Brilliant Cinema and was later merged into New Film Alliance. This is Ye Ming's method. Ming's base, if Ye Ming arranged it, this matter would become very simple."

Although for a movie, it is not a big deal if it is to be released in advance. At least, if the media is notified and the audience is informed in advance, then it is not a big deal.

But another key point is how the cinema schedule is arranged. You can communicate well with the cinema chain. This is the key. But here, Ye Ming's own cinema does not have this problem.

What's more, Feng Xiaogang also said that it will be released soon. Facing a great director like Feng Xiaogang, everyone will give it a day or two in advance. Otherwise, do you still want the next Feng Xiaogang movie?

After coordinating the theater matters, Feng Xiaogang and the crew were already waiting for the media at the Red Flag Cinema.

The main actor of the movie, Wang Zhongjun, and the investor Ye Ming, all appeared at the press conference.

This time, Feng Xiaogang was very direct and saw that most of the media came. Feng Xiaogang's own influence is already quite powerful. With the two leading actors Ge You and Guan Zhilin, and now Ye Ming is joining in, such a lineup is quite eye-catching. None of the media outlets who received the news were reluctant to come.

Feng Xiaogang looked at everyone and said: "As for this matter, the movie was released ahead of schedule, which caught everyone off guard. It's because we did something wrong. We should have informed everyone in advance. I won't say much else. If you have any questions, just ask them directly. Just ask. I will tell you everything I know about this movie today. If you ask me how much money I have saved, I won’t tell you because I don’t know. You have to ask Teacher Xu.”

Amid everyone's laughter, this press conference began. Yamamoto, a reporter from Japan's Asahi Shimbun, was the first to stand up and said: "Director Feng, the news I got is that you were originally to premiere with [Wind Talker] tomorrow. It was released, and now it is premiering in advance, does it mean that it avoids the limelight of "Windtalker", and is afraid that it will be compared to "Windtalker" when it is released together."

This foreigner just doesn't know how to be polite. Even if a Chinese reporter thinks like this, he will never ask the question so directly. At least, he should ask this question tactfully. Otherwise, it would be a slap in the face, a real slap in the face.

But the Japanese reporter asked the question in such a polite manner.

At this moment, the reporters in the audience were a little worried. This was clearly saying that Feng Xiaogang's movie was not as good as Wu Yusen's. Although this was true in terms of cast and investment, but he asked this in front of Feng Xiaogang, this Yamamoto But the first one, [Asahi Shimbun] also has a relatively transcendent status in Japan, so the mentality of their reporters is also quite good.

Feng Xiaogang glanced at Ye Ming. Ye Ming had already expected that a reporter would ask this question. At this moment, it was the first reporter who asked this question.

Feng Xiaogang thought to himself, Ye Zi is indeed an extraordinary person. This is not something ordinary people can do.

Just when everyone thought that Feng Xiaogang would be embarrassed, Xiaogangpao said very relaxedly: "I think, whether you are afraid or not, there is nothing to hide. How much does it cost to film a masterpiece directed by Wu Yusen? 100 million Twenty million US dollars, I can say that if the box office of my movie could be half of someone else's production cost, I would be laughing.

[Wind Whisperer]’s stage is all over the world, and our [big names]’s stage is China. If it is a little bigger, it means that it is only some countries in Southeast Asia. There is no comparison at all. We and [Wind Whisperer] 】What to do.

It can be said that our box office is 200-300 million yuan, which is considered very successful.

But if Windtalker has a box office of 200-300 million yuan, then I think director Wu Yusen will find a place to cry. Therefore, there is no comparison between our two movies. Even if I say that I am afraid that Windtalker will steal the box office of [big names], then what is the big deal? I am just afraid, and I don’t feel ashamed at all. , they have a movie worth more than 100 million US dollars, why should I go head-to-head with them? "

Feng Xiaogang's words made the reporters present feel thunderous. If Feng Xiaogang carried forward the style of small steel cannons, he would be belittling Wu Yusen and belittle the Wind Talker at this moment, and some would look down on big Hollywood productions. This is in line with what everyone thinks of Feng Xiaogang's personal style.

However, Feng Xiaogang was very straightforward this time, saying directly that I am just scared, what can you do to me.

Moreover, Feng Xiaogang is not unreasonable. People have made it very clear that if a big name has a box office of 200 to 300 million, it will be a huge success. But if Wind Talker has a box office of 200 to 300 million, Wu Yusen should really find a place to cry. went.

No matter how cunning a reporter is, he can't find anything wrong with an answer like this.

Feng Xiaogang's move went too far, which made Yamamoto helplessly say: "I didn't expect Director Feng to have such a wonderful answer. I admire Director Feng's broadmindedness."

Everyone admitted that they were scared, so Yamamoto naturally would not continue asking reluctantly.

As the biggest bomb at this press conference, it didn't explode at all, which made all the reporters feel the strong smell of gunpowder.

Especially reporters in China all felt that Feng Xiaogang had become so cunning. Generally speaking, with Feng Xiaogang's personality, taking the initiative to stir up trouble is his style.

Everyone was originally thinking about what big news it would be, but then Coppola's appearance was definitely a shocking scene.

Even none of the reporters asked Coppola. Corvo's powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire hall.

Santa Claus Coppola said with a smile: "We all make movies. Just make the audience happy. No matter what they do at any cost, it is not uncommon in Hollywood for an investment of more than 100 million to go down the drain." , it’s not like I haven’t encountered a box office dark horse that cost one or two million. As a director, you just have to make movies with your conscience, and don’t worry about what other people say.”

The last idiom Coppola said was in Chinese, and he stated that Ye Ming told him this idiom, and he didn't know what it meant.

After saying this, Coppola walked away without giving any face to the reporter, and he also had the right to not give any face to the reporter.

The following press conference was only ten minutes long. It was a very short press conference, which was to ask Guan Zhilin about his feelings about the shooting. As a star who is used to seeing troubles, Guan Zhilin’s answer There is no leakage. As for Uncle Ge, as long as Uncle Ge doesn't want to talk, no one can ask more questions.

In the end, Lao Bai asked about the box office, and Wang Zhongjun answered even more low-key. As long as the audience likes it, two to three hundred million is not a problem. If everyone supports it wholeheartedly, I can take over more.

This is no different from not saying anything and just kicking the ball to the audience.

Everyone knows this very well. If it is related to the box office at this time, Windtalker will take a large part of the cake. This is absolutely certain.

Therefore, it would be inappropriate for Wang Zhongjun to say too little at this time, which would weaken his prestige, but if he said too much, even Wang Zhongjun himself would feel untrustworthy when facing such a powerful opponent as [Wind Whisperer]. Therefore, just say directly whether the audience supports it or not.

No matter how much the box office is at that time, Wang Zhongjun will be able to advance and retreat as well as defend. I have to say that the works directed by Feng Xiaogang are quite attractive. According to incomplete statistics, by the time it is perfected, the national box office has already exceeded 3 million. This has not yet reached the prime time. If you include the evening At the box office, the revenue on the first day was quite impressive.

Especially in such a situation, the reputation of the movie has already come out. Putting aside everything else, the appearance of Ye Ming is definitely a big easter egg, which is very surprising. Many people originally thought that Ye Ming was not good enough. He was just an investor, but in the end, he brought so many surprises to everyone. Just after the first movie ended, Ye Ming’s hilarious joke was posted online. Everyone discussed it.

Although few people will find out who posted it online, it was actually Sister Fang who changed her vest and posted the full version of the joke. This is a means of hype.

The audience will not care about the water being distributed. What everyone wants is an object of ridicule, especially slogans that ridicule real estate. Our goal in real estate is to only make the most expensive and not to do well. That is simply unforgettable. It's still new. Anyway, after meeting many movie fans, they said that our slogan is to only make the most expensive, not the best.

The reputation of the movie is actually accumulated bit by bit in this way. [Big Name] has to say that it is off to a good start. (To be continued)
