Chapter 441 If You Dare to Give, I Dare to Take (Ask for Monthly Votes)

The second half was the reporters' home court.

The sources of reporters were very complicated, including mainland media, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Although they also received some travel expenses, they did not clearly favor any particular movie, but focused more on well-known stars, asking more questions to those who were more talked about.

Therefore, most of the questions were focused on Jay Chou, Hao Yun, An Xiaoxi, and Chen Guanxi.

Even Suzuki An was not very interesting to the reporters.

It's not that she is a regular soldier, so everyone is not interested.

It's because this girl can't speak Chinese.

Most people can only understand a few sentences in Japanese, and communication is time-consuming and laborious.

And although this girl looks okay, she is far from being a beautiful girl.

"Why design a plot like kissing the groom?" A reporter asked Hao Yun curiously.

What kind of mental state can design such a plot.

"This should be considered a flash of inspiration. I suddenly thought of it and felt that using it here would give me a sense of youthful pleasure." How could Hao Yun know that he was not a psychopath who wrote such a plot.

The reporters were not satisfied with the flash of inspiration, and you were still revealing your love.

But there was nothing they could do.

"You three seem to have a good relationship. How did you meet?"

The female reporter was more concerned about this. She could only say that as long as it was gay, everything could be gay.

"With Edison, it was because I was filming "Infernal Affairs". I was not famous at that time. He was already called the Little King in Hong Kong, but he had a good temper and helped me a lot, so we became friends. As for Jay, it was because we both endorsed Pepsi and saw each other more often during activities, so we had more common topics..."

Hao Yun explained a little.

In fact, there were not so many twists and turns, and everyone was innocent.

"Hao Yun, how much do you expect the box office of the movie "Those Years"?"

This question is usually asked at a movie press conference.

Directors need to make a prediction about the box office of a movie. You can't say too little, otherwise you are not confident in the quality of the movie. If you are not confident in the movie you made, how can you expect others to like your movie?

But you can't exaggerate too much, or reality will slap you in the face.

If you say the box office is over 100 million, and the box office is actually only 2 million, then you will become a joke of the entire industry.

And there is another problem. There are two movies here today.

The answers of the directors on both sides were not communicated in advance, so it is easy to have a big gap.

"I hope the box office is as high as possible, and Director Liu and Director Mai are probably the same." Hao Yun cleverly solved this problem.

Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui nodded vigorously. Isn't this nonsense? They definitely hope that the box office is as high as possible.

The money of these directors has been pocketed, but only when the box office is high will more and better projects come to them in the future, and it will be easier to attract investment.

"If you need to estimate a number, what level do you think this number is more appropriate?" The reporter is not so easy to fool.

Today, Hao Yun must give an exact box office valuation.

"Well, 50 million," Hao Yun explained, "I spent 10 million to make this movie. If the box office is less than 30 million, then I will most likely let the producer down. I want to make more money, so at least 50 million is necessary."

The reporters were all excited.

If the box office reaches 50 million as Hao Yun said, then corresponding to last year's level, this movie will be ranked fourth in the domestic movie box office rankings, second only to "Kung Fu", "House of Flying Daggers" and "A World Without Thieves".

So the reporters looked at Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui again.

Mai Zhaohui laughed and said, "We also estimate that the box office will reach 50 million. Hao Yun, let's make a bet. If the box office of both of our movies exceeds 50 million, then we will hold a celebration banquet together, and the money for the celebration banquet will be paid by our "Initial D" crew."

Promotion is about topics, and this kind of bet is a common method.

The spectators will watch it with relish.

But in fact, "Initial D" is different from "Those Years".

"Initial D" is adapted from a best-selling manga in Japan. As it emphasizes being faithful to the original, it uses a lot of computer special effects to make the scenes realistic. The actors need to go to Japan for actual racing training, and the production cost exceeds 12 million US dollars.

Zhou Jielun's salary alone is close to 1 million US dollars (about 7.8 million Hong Kong dollars).

One is 10 million RMB, and the other is 12 million US dollars.

If the box office is 50 million, "Those Years" will make a lot of money.

"Initial D" will lose money.

"If the box office of the movie is less than 50 million, it seems that there is no need for us to celebrate," Hao Yun has a different opinion: "Let's bet on this. Whoever has a higher box office will pay for the celebration banquet. At that time, please invite the media friends present to have a big meal together."

"Haha, good, this is indeed more interesting." Mai Zhaohui laughed.

In fact, their expectations for the box office of the movie are much higher than 50 million.

They hope that the box office of this movie in the mainland will exceed 100 million, and then with Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Japan, the total box office will exceed 200 million RMB, and they can start to make money.

But last year, only three films made over 100 million yuan in the mainland box office.

Zhou Xingxing, Zhang Yimou, and Ma Dagang are all super directors.

I don’t dare to easily say that the box office will exceed 100 million, lest I be laughed at.

There are only a few directors in the 100 million club.

But if you analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to exceed 50 million.

I guess not many people would object to saying that Jay Chou will take 30 million at the box office.

What’s more, they are adapted from popular Japanese comics, which already have a high fan base.

Fans will pay for it if it is faithful to the original.

After another round of questions and answers, the third stage was successfully completed, and the organizers and the media were all happy.

“We set the release date on June 24th, mainly because everyone has basically completed the exam at this time, and the college entrance examination scores have also come out. Whether you do well or not, you can watch a movie to relax. Life is still long, and the college entrance examination is important, but it is just a beginning...”

Hao Yun said some encouraging words.

The release date of “Those Years” is set on June 24th, and the release date of “Initial D” is set on July 23rd.

Both movies are aimed at the summer season.

After all, whether it is the subject matter of the movie or the cast, the main audience is the young people.

"Next, we will record a batch of r on the spot, and wish our college entrance examination students to achieve good results."

After Hao Yun finished speaking, he walked to the side. The few words he said just now were his part.

What he didn't say was that life is still very long... but the college entrance examination is the last fairness you can enjoy, at least it is fairness within a certain range.

r means short film, videoassette rording, which is a Chinese-style English created by domestic variety shows. It is an extension of English usage, although in English-speaking countries, r does not have this meaning.

This link has been communicated with the participants before, so everyone is prepared.

One by one, they stepped forward and said their words of encouragement to the college entrance examination students.

"... Zhou Jielun from Class 2, Grade 3, I wish you all success here!" Zhou Jielun said.

"A successful start and a place on the gold list!" Lin Jianyue was so short.

"Don't be nervous, don't be afraid, believe in yourself, I am Chen Guanxi, and I will work hard with you!" Chen Guanxi also said.

Others came forward, reporters snapped and photographers recorded.

"My academic performance may not be very good, I hope you don't learn from me. Hao Yun is a top student. His nickname in our class is Xiao Hao Tanhua. Everyone should learn from him. No matter what the result of the college entrance examination is, you must have a tenacious spirit and a persevering attitude. Well, don't be too indulgent in college. Learning is a long-term thing."

When An Xiaoxi spoke, he didn't forget to praise the director.

After the event, everyone had a meal together.

The schedules of the two companies are completely staggered, and there is no direct competition. If they are compared, it can arouse people's curiosity and stir up heat, so everyone gets along relatively happily.

After this event, Hao Yun focused on filming "Whiplash".

He can only be seen in various news reports. Some say that he boasted that the box office of 50 million was shameless, some say that he and Jay Chou and Chen Guanxi have a deep brotherly relationship, and some say...

It was not until the Capital University Student Film Festival in mid-May.

Hao Yunren is in the capital and has been nominated for three awards: Best Feature Film, Best Director, and Jury Award.

If you dare to give, I dare to take.
