Chapter 1238 It was he who caused the disaster, who would bear the blame if he didn't?
"Principal Wu, the global box office of "God of Gamblers 2" has exceeded 600 million, and it is about to go for 700 million. If it is Hong Kong dollars, it will be 500 million. This box office result is beyond the reach of other directors in Hong Kong, and it is even rare in Hollywood..."
At the launch conference of "A Chinese Ghost Story", during the reporter's questioning session, a reporter first took a photo of Mr. Wu's flattery, and then continued: "But why, Principal Wu, don't continue filming in Hollywood, but run back to shoot a horror movie?"
Principal Wu looked at him with a smile and said, "First of all, I have to declare that this movie is not a simple horror movie. Have you not seen the version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" by Shaw Brothers? This is just a remake, and the theme is also taken from Mr. Pu Songling's "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". You won't even watch "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"!"
The entertainment reporter chuckled, but the entertainment reporter had a little red face.
After pausing, he said, "I think it tends to be more emotional movies like "The Love of Man and Ghost". As for why you don't continue to make movies in Hollywood, the reason is actually very simple. I like this story and want to shoot it and present it to everyone to share my happiness together. Of course, if the box office of the movie in the future is good, I will naturally be very happy. But if the movie is just for the high box office, then I might as well be at ease in my business. Making money in an industry can make money faster than making movies, and the risk is not as high as that of the movie."
In everyone's opinion, this is the truth!
It is difficult for ordinary people to make a lot of money! The initial accumulation stage of capital has never been an easy task. However, for those rich, it is much less difficult to make money with money. Many people have ideas, but are trapped in the absence of funds. However, rich people can make money with money at any time as long as they have enough ideas.
Everyone knows that Principal Wu is a very thoughtful entrepreneur, otherwise he would not have been able to build such a large territory in just ten years.
The risk of making a movie will naturally not be small. The bankruptcy of many film companies is the result of the lack of investment in a movie!
So, in everyone's opinion, he said this without any problem!
But only Mr. Wu himself knew that what he said was all fooling people.
Because the movies he made were proven by the audience in the original time and space.
As long as he doesn't come up with the wrong script at the wrong time, the result of the filming will basically not be too bad. The reason why he likes to make movies is that although the factors that are interested in it are in it, his actual original intention is just to facilitate the goddess.
Although with his current wealth and status, as long as he is willing, he will just hook his fingers, the goddesses he knew in his previous life will basically be willing to go over and flatter him.
But if that is the case, it will be less fun.
Moreover, in that case, he would feel that the goddess liked him just because she was incest. He felt that he was a man who could use his talent to attract the goddess.
Very pretentious, isn't it?
But he just likes it!
"Principal Wu, you have made a fantasy movie like "The Love of Man and Ghost" a long time ago. So, what is the difference between "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The Love of Man and Ghost" now? These two movies tell the love story between people and ghosts!"
"There are naturally similarities, but in fact, there are not many. At most, the emotional setting between humans and ghosts looks similar."
Wu Cheng smiled and continued, "Those who have watched "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" know that the heroine of this movie is a female ghost, and in "The Love of Man and Ghost", the hero is a ghost. "The Love of Man and Ghost" tells the story of modern society. The hero is the heroine who was once a boyfriend and girlfriend. But "A Chinese Ghost Story" is different... Well, that, I won't continue to spoil the spoiler here, keeping a little mysterious. In short, this is a movie that is very different from "The Love of Man and Ghost". Its system is Eastern fantasy, not fantasy."
The difference between fantasy and fantasy was explained by Mr. Wu in "The World of Infinite Fantasy", so it is not difficult for these reporters to understand.
This explanation is more important than allowing foreign media reporters to understand.
In fact, many reporters from Xiangjiang have seen "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
"Principal Wu, Miss Wang Xiaoxian is not old. Do you believe she can handle this role?" A reporter glanced at Wang Xiaoxian and asked Mr. Wu.
Wu Cheng smiled and looked at Wang Xiaoxian and said, "Xiaoxian is indeed very young, but you don't think of others because of her young age. I am not very young!"
When they heard Mr. Wu’s answer, the reporters were all left with ‘hehe’.
When he debuted, he was only fifteen years old... This is the age known to the outside world. In fact, his physiological age was only twelve years old at that time, but his soul was already over twenty years old.
If it weren't for the soul of an adult man living in his young body, how could he have so many evil thoughts about a "sister" in his early twenties?
Therefore, measuring a person by age, especially in front of Mr. Wu, is simply putting his face up and asking for slaughter and ravage!
As a result, they were still in the middle of "hehe", Wu Dazui... Oh no, Principal Wu began to speak wildly again: "I have confidence that the image of the character she played will become a mark of an era. When people in later generations mention the image of a female ghost, they can't help but think of her!"
very good!
All the reporters were excited, Wu Dazui... No, Principal Wu boasted again.
How many people waited for this moment until the flowers all faded? Everyone thought he was low-key now, and he didn't say those arrogant words to attract attention. He became smooth due to the wasted time and the secular life... As a result, everyone was wrong. This guy is still so arrogant and so big-mouthed!
However, everyone likes it very much!
If he was just a very ordinary person in the entertainment industry, I guess everyone would give him a nickname like "Wu Dazui".
Unfortunately, it would be too disagreeable if such a nickname was placed on him, and his female fans would tore them apart frantically.
When the filming of "The True Heroes" started, he didn't say such things; when the filming of "Black Man" started, he was not so arrogant; when the filming of "The Legend of the Night" started, he was also very low-key... Why did he be so arrogant when the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" started?
Is it just to attract attention and gain popularity?
But does he need it?
Some people couldn't understand him, especially the crew members sitting next to him.
At this time, there was an invisible pressure on them, especially Wang Xiaoxian sitting on Wu Cheng's right hand. She was also looking at him curiously. Although there was pressure, she felt very relieved when she was there because she knew that the sky fell and he was holding him!
All the entertainment journalists looked at him with bright eyes. Is this movie really that good?
Well, once they had this idea, Wu's goal was actually achieved.
Although it sounds arrogant, looking at the movies he made, which one is not a classic? Many people in the film industry even regard it as a textbook-like existence.
So, it sounds like he is bragging! But if you think about it carefully, this may be a classic! Otherwise, how could he have such strong confidence?
But even so, the entertainment journalists are still very happy. There is no need to worry about the sales of this issue of newspapers. They are happy, and those black fans of Mr. Wu are also happy. This guy is bragging again!
These people are happy, so Wu is naturally happy too. Someone advertises this movie for free!
While everyone was excited, they became more enthusiastic when they asked questions.
"Principal Wu, according to rumors, there were many female stars competing for the role of the second female lead in this drama, including first-line movie stars like Miss Zhang Manyu, but why did the crew finally choose an art school student like Miss Zhang Xie who was not famous at all before?"
If it weren't for Mr. Wu who really couldn't offend him, he would definitely not ask this, but instead asked directly: [Is there any insider information here?]
The unspoken rules are everywhere, especially in the entertainment industry.
Mr. Wu laughed lightly when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Ye sitting next to Wang Xiaoxian. He smiled and said, "Although Director Cheng is doing the casting work, I am surprised by the actor he chose, but I am also very satisfied with the actor he chose! Moreover, Zhang Manyu had never had any acting experience before starring in "God of Gambling".
"Principal Wu means that Miss Zhang Xie is also a genius like Zhang Manyu?"
"I think this question should be asked by Director Cheng!"
How dare he say that Zhang Yi is as talented as Zhang Manyu? In the original time and space, Zhang Yi is indeed the goddess in the minds of countless men, with excellent temperament and appearance.
But if you really compare with Zhang Manyu, your acting skills will definitely be completely defeated by Zhang Manyu. Zhang Manyu will be an international actress who will be a poor actress in the future and will win awards.
So, he threw the blame on Cheng Xiaodong.
He caused the disaster, who would take the blame if he didn't take the blame?
Cheng Xiaodong took the microphone and smiled and said, "One of the important reasons for choosing Miss Zhang Xie to play this role is actually because she gave us a bright feeling when she was auditioning for the set-up. At that time, we all felt that she was very suitable for the role in the script. Moreover, our Principal Wu is best at teaching these actors who have not yet been finalized in performance, so although she has no acting experience, I believe Principal Wu will not disappoint everyone."
After pausing, he added: "What's more, Miss Zhang Jie is also a student of the Academy of Arts."
