Chapter 77 Press Conference
As mentioned earlier, a film and television company has grown and expanded, with connections, resources, directors, etc.
With this correspondence, Mingxi seems to have nothing...
But he has Shen Mengxi!
He can play a project as big as "Painted Skin" alone!
To be honest, Chen Liming sometimes feels guilty when facing Chen Mengxi. He basically built the entire Mingxi company's territory - "Double-sided tape" and "Crazy Stone" are all his advocates for investment...
Chen Liming was responsible for shouting...
Of course, he knew Chen Mengxi and knew that he didn't have that many ideas.
At the beginning, I might have thought about making a living...
But now it's different...
"Painted Skin" Hey, he can bring in 100 million yuan of funds, and the entire crew of the crew took him as the core at the party just now...
Chen Liming felt a little disappointed...
He is also the producer of "Painted Skin"!
But it's just a little bit.
Chen Mengxi let him speak freely at the press conference tomorrow!
Finally it’s time to make fun of complaints and show off!
I called a few familiar media in advance, learned about the questions they were more concerned about, and then thought about how to answer them...
When Jiang Nan returned home, he saw his man sitting on the desk very rarely, writing something...
Very relieved!
...
With such a huge investment in "Painted Skin", of course the bigger the launch conference, the better!
Of course, this thing is a big deal for the company, but for many media reporters, it is nothing more than confirming the main creator, starting time, introducing the background and investment overview, and blaming the box office...
Fixed process!
Nothing interesting.
However, there is no news recently. Apart from Yang Lijuan's star chasing and Chen Xiaoxu's death, there is nothing to report...
Just come.
Mingxi Company paid a lot of car and horse fees!
Just take it as a run for the red envelope!
At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Hong from "Entertainment Weekly" went to a hotel on the side of the Second Ring Road and headed straight to the conference hall on the third floor.
As a result, as soon as I entered the door, I felt the atmosphere was strange: This place is too spacious!
Usually, it is considered a big deal to invite dozens of new films to be released, but when I look at it today, I saw that there were dozens of rows of chairs neatly arranged, and there was still a lot of space left behind for the photographer to take.
Is this going to be made into high specifications?
"I really didn't expect that the electronic magazine founded by Xu Jinglei didn't make much noise!"
"I told you a long time ago that she just gave it to me, and I got it! "
Several entertainment journalists next to him were complaining about Xu Cainu's founding of an electronic magazine. It is said that Wang Shuo was brought in, but he didn't sell a few copies...
A talented woman who can't sell books?
"Okay, let's say a few words. Judging from this attitude, today is amazing."
"Yes, yes, yes, I've heard of it. An investment of more than 100 million yuan is really a big deal."
"I heard that it is linked to a game company to develop it? The game company invested 50 million in one go..."
After talking about this, everyone kept silent.
Sign in one by one to receive red envelopes, and then sit in your seat.
Li Hong was the same, silent and sat in the fourth row with his seniors...
After coming over for a while, Wei Wuchang walked in, and then a group of familiar entertainment journalists surrounded him, all knowing his relationship with Mingxi, so he found out some inside information in advance.
Wei Wuchang only said, "Today, you will definitely make this trip worthwhile."
...
At 9:30, the press conference will start on time.
The entire conference room was full of seats.
With a long spear and a short cannon behind, the entertainment reporters were talking, and as the host appeared, the audience was quiet.
‘Thank you all for attending the screenplay press conference. Let’s invite the leading actors, directors and other main personnel behind the scenes!’
The actors appeared one by one.
"Zhou Xun!"
"Chen Kun!"
"Huang Xiaoming!"
“…Zhao Wei!”
Damn…
Four first-line actors on the same stage?
Is this "Night Banquet"?
The entertainment reporters off the court were stunned. After a long time, they quickly applauded.
This is true. In recent years, with the reputation of the four major actresses, there are few situations where the four major actresses compete on the same stage.
Just last year's "Night Banquet" is a little exception, with International Zhang partnering with Zhou Xun...
Compared to them, Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming are not very popular anymore...
The reporters were in a state of great turmoil. Seeing this lineup, they had a lot of questions to ask...
"Next is director Wu Ershan, our producer Chen Mengxi, producer Chen Liming and two other starring actors..."
Everyone has finished their appearance, and the next is the time for the reporter to ask questions.
The first one to stand up was a reporter with glasses. He was obviously interested in Wu Ershan: "I would like to ask the director, what type of the play "Painted Skin" belongs to? Art films or horror films?"
Wu Ershan replied: "Oriental magical theme! We have made some adaptations based on the original work. After all, if an investment of more than one billion yuan is first to pass the review..."
“Is “Painted Skin” your first movie?”
"Yes, the first theater movie, I've made short films before..."
"If you direct it for the first time, you can direct a drama that has invested so much... Where do you think you have attracted the producer?"
Chen Mengxi took over the topic: "It is more appropriate for me to answer this question."
"Then tell me..."
"Actually, the reason for making "Painted Skin" is very simple. I have watched enough so-called Chinese blockbusters. Some famous directors are no longer attractive to me, whether they deal with the subject matter or their understanding of the movie. So I must find a young director, and I must be a director from the mainland. Only the mainland directors will work hard on the core of culture."
"I chatted with Wu Ershan for a few words, and then decided to him. He said something very well. Commercial movies are never personal creations, but personal ideas into collective wisdom. It is obviously a very simple truth, but many of our great directors just don't understand it! If you invest hundreds of millions of dollars, you can show yourself. Please use your own money!"
The entertainment reporters on the scene remembered this sentence and prepared to write it into their reports.
Next, I asked the actors, most of them were kind, asking questions like "What was the reason for the decision to star in this movie?"
Of course, there are also people who deliberately pick on it. For example, Wei Wuchang directly asked, "If you have an investment of 100 million yuan, you won't be worried about the market without using Hong Kong and Taiwan actors?"
OK, Chen Liming's playing time has come!
"Why worry about the market? We have a good story, a very professional team, and a very good actor. I don't think this movie has a reason to fail."
"But the actors you use don't have box office appeal!"
"Please tell me in detail!"
"Zhao Wei, she is a famous box office poison!"
Chen Liming rolled his eyes: "I really don't know where you media found the news. "Lovers' Knot" has a box office of 6 million, which was the highest box office for Valentine's Day that year. "Green Tea" has a box office of 9 million, the runner-up of Chinese films in the mainland summer. "Jade Guanyin" was released on the first day of its release and won a box office of 9 million. What else do you want?"
"Zhang Ziyi's "Purple Butterfly" won less than 3 million yuan in box office, and her salary alone is 4 million yuan. Why don't you say she is a box office poison?"
"I don't even want to check the information, and I always get the box office poison..."
Chen Mengxi quietly patted Chen Liming's thigh, and the latter shut up...
At the scene, including on the stage, everyone was raising their eyes at Fatty Chen, especially Buffett Zhao, who were almost crying...
It’s a pity that her reputation for carrying the ‘box office poison’ is so aggrieved!
Not to mention anything else, when "Love Kid" was released, Xun Ge had two movies "The Beauty Still" and "The Butterfly" that coincided with her. The box office of the two movies added one piece without "Love Kid"...
Chapter completed!
