"Isn't it a bit bad to talk about Africa on this stage?"
Facing the host's questioning, Fang Qiu looked awkwardly at the creative staff and director Chen Xiaogang sitting next to him. ┏Ⅹ④③⑨⑨┛
"It's okay, just tell me."
Director Chen Xiaogang laughed heartily.
actually.
Before the premiere, Director Chen Xiaogang had a rough idea of the various procedures and Q&A manuscripts, so he was not surprised that the host would ask this question, but was quite happy about it.
After all, the most popular thing on the Internet right now is the topic of Fang Qiu going to Africa to treat malaria. This seemingly unrelated topic is likely to create a topic for the premiere that can attract more people. Film critics and reporters can use this question to work. Then they can use such a simple question to attract everyone's attention, so that more people can pay attention to the movie itself.
To put it bluntly, this is a deliberately created publicity point.
This way.
With the director's permission, Fang Qiu didn't have anything to say. He directly picked up the microphone and told the whole story about the African side.
Everyone listened quietly.
Of course, because this was purely to create a publicity point, everyone just nodded in understanding to what Fang Qiu told, and after a few words, they got back on track.
"Everyone knows that this is the first time you have starred in a movie in your life, and it is also a movie directed by Chen Xiaogang. In addition, you are so popular now. Why don't you predict the box office of our "Yang Yizhi" movie? "
The host continued to hold Fang Qiu tightly, with no intention of letting him go.
Hear this.
Fang Qiu was immediately confused.
He has never considered this issue.
Moreover, if you talk too much, you will be said to be too arrogant. If you talk too little, you will look down on Director Chen Xiaogang. How should you answer this question?
Hesitation.
Fang Qiu turned around and looked at everyone,
Hope I can get some tips.
But in the end, everyone looked at him with a smile.
This time, Fang Qiu was completely suppressed.
"Look at what I'm doing, I don't understand."
Fang Qiu was helpless.
But over there, the host, all media reporters, and specially invited fans were waiting for his answer.
We can't let the premiere go on like this.
"hiss……"
Fang Qiu took a deep breath and thought about it secretly.
It ranked first in 24-hour pre-sales, with a base box office of 200 million. Such impressive pre-sales results have never been seen before. Since pre-sales are so impressive, the total box office of the movie must be at least several times higher Get up?
Five times? One billion?
Upon reaching this point, Fang Qiu immediately denied it secretly.
Since you want to say it, you have to say it in a big way to prove your confidence and encourage everyone else. Even if you fail to achieve this goal in the end, you will just be slapped in the face if you can't beat it?
After all, I have slapped so many people in the face, so it’s time for me to be slapped in the face.
With this in mind.
"How about this."
Fang Qiu opened his mouth and said, "I'm going to encourage everyone, and I'm going to encourage myself as well. Let's talk big."
Everyone smiled and nodded, looking forward to how big the so-called "bigger picture" would be.
"About 2 billion."
Fang Qiu said amidst everyone's expectations.
Hear the words.
Everyone in the audience immediately took a breath after reading it!
2000000000?
Are you kidding me?
How many people can go to see it to achieve this box office?
and.
Director Chen Xiaogang is a well-known director. The highest box office of his film was only 500 million. Even taking into account the development of the film industry in recent years, which has led to a surge in box office, it is already good to have 1 billion in the end. .
He actually asked for 2 billion as soon as he opened his mouth. Isn’t this too courageous?
Not to mention the main creative staff.
Even director Chen Xiaogang, who was sitting next to Fang Qiu, was completely speechless when he heard this number.
"You really have confidence in me."
Director Chen Xiaogang said with a wry smile.
Hear the words.
Looking at the expressions of the major creative staff, Fang Qiu was confused again.
What's happening here?
Why does everyone react this way?
Look back.
The film critics and media reporters sitting in the audience quickly began to write down things in their notebooks. From the looks of them, they were clearly remembering what they had just said.
On stage.
"2000000000?"
The host was shocked when he heard it, and then he immediately smiled and said, "It seems that the quality of our movie is very high. Fang Qiu is so confident, but what about Director Chen, are you confident?"
Fang Qiu quickly handed the microphone to Director Chen Xiaogang, with no intention of answering any more.
See this.
Director Chen Xiaogang shook his head and smiled, took the microphone, and could only follow Fang Qiu's words and continue: "I unconditionally believe in all the members of our entire creative team, and I also believe in the audience."
"Okay, thank you, Director Chen."
The host stood up and applauded.
Afterwards, the host continued to ask some questions about the filming of the movie, and the question and answer session finally ended.
Got off the stage.
Fang Qiu sat back down in the middle of the first row.
"You boy, you really dare to say that."
Director Chen Xiaogang said to Fang Qiu with a wry smile.
"Did I say too much?"
Fang Qiu asked with an inexplicable look on his face.
"My highest estimate is 1.5 billion."
Director Chen Xiaogang whispered in Fang Qiu's ear.
Hearing this number, Fang Qiu was stunned.
He knew that he was talking nonsense.
But.
There is nothing he can do.
Before this, he didn't pay attention to the box office of any movie at all, so he had no bottom line in predicting the box office. Who knew that the final prediction would be like this?
"But it's okay. At any rate, you also said some qualifying words, so it's not blind confidence."
Director Chen comforted.
Fang Qiu smiled bitterly.
If you know earlier, you should come earlier. If you know these problems earlier, you can prepare and deal with them earlier.
Now that everything has been said, we can only admit it.
"Next, it's the movie premiere."
After the creative team stepped off the stage, the host opened his mouth and said: "Everyone has three minutes to prepare before the premiere officially begins."
After that, he stepped down.
Off stage.
The media reporters, film critics, fans and celebrities who had been sitting there for a while all got up and rushed to the bathroom.
This is a premiere, and leaving the venue to go to the bathroom during the screening is a very shameless thing. No matter whether the movie is good or not, since you are here to attend, you must watch it until the end.
So everyone rushed to the toilet.
Of course, the toilets used by celebrities and creative staff are different from those used by other people.
Three minutes later.
Everything was ready, the lights in the theater dimmed, and the big screen immediately started showing.
At this moment, everyone in the theater was like an ordinary spectator, staring at the screen, looking forward to the plot of this movie.
Opening.
It's different from ordinary martial arts movies.
On the contrary, it was like a military movie. As soon as it left the factory, thousands of troops were in formation, standing in front of the majestic city gate. Then the sound of fighting and iron horses suddenly started, and some words began to appear on the big screen.
"After Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang, he attacked Zhang Shicheng in October of the 25th year of Zhizheng (1365). His army pressed down on the border and with powerful troops, he captured Tongzhou, Xinghua, Yancheng, Taizhou, Gaoyou, Huai'an, Suzhou, and Anfeng in one fell swoop. Zhuzhou and counties, drive the Soochow forces out of the Jiangbei area!"
The scene changes.
Troops and chaos can be seen everywhere, and ordinary people are hiding and escaping everywhere in the chaos.
"In May of the 26th year of Zhizheng (1366), Zhu Yuanzhang issued a proclamation to denounce Zhang Shicheng; in November of the same year, Hangzhou and Huzhou surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Pingjiang became an isolated city."
Put it here.
Text analysis ends.
The picture on the big screen changed from war and chaos to green mountains and green waters, as if the previous conflicts were all a joke.
Look carefully, in front of the distant mountains and near water.
A middle-aged man wearing ordinary clothes was standing in front of the extremely clear lake, admiring the beautiful scenery.
beside him.
Many people wearing ordinary clothes stood guard.
One person stepped forward.
The middle-aged man turned his head, and it was Zhu Yuanzhang played by Teacher Li Baoguo!
have to say.
Teacher Li Baoguo is very similar to Zhu Yuanzhang in terms of temperament, age and appearance.
That feeling of power without anger can only be seen in the emperor.
"Teacher Li Baoguo is really suitable for this role."
"The key is to look at the acting skills. Teacher Li Baoguo perfectly overlaps with this role. Coupled with his acting skills like an old actor, he immediately brought this role to life as soon as he appeared."
…
Everyone murmured.
Of course, those who talk the most are the film critics.
To them.
Every detail of the entire movie is what they want to pursue.
The celebrities who came to support were not under any pressure, they just watched the movie, and the comments had nothing to do with them. The members of the creative team were very nervous.
Afraid of being criticized by film critics and media, some of them kept turning their heads to look at film critics and media reporters, wanting to see what they thought of the film.
Sitting in the middle of the first row, Director Chen Xiaogang was also very nervous.
However, compared to others, he still felt a little proud, because he had already watched the full version of the movie before, so he rated the movie very high in his heart, at least better than he had ever done. Other movies are higher.
Therefore, he feels that this movie will definitely receive good reviews, but no matter how confident he is, he is inevitably nervous. After all, everyone has different tastes. Media reporters and film critics may not necessarily like the movies he likes.
Look carefully.
Among the entire creative team, the most relaxed ones were Fang Qiu and Li Baoguo sitting on both sides of Director Chen.
Although they both came to see the quality of the movie, the quality of the movie has no direct interest in them. Anyway, they are both famous, and even if they fail, they will still have plenty of opportunities, so they both Everyone took it seriously.
Only by truly immersing yourself in it can you see the shortcomings of this movie from the perspective of an ordinary viewer.
On the big screen.
The movie continues to play.
After a profound conversation, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing by the lake admiring the beautiful scenery, couldn't help but open his mouth and recite poetry.
But at this moment.
"bass."
The sound of the sword was startled, and the scene of green mountains and green water suddenly turned into a bleak autumn wind, full of murderous intent!
