Rebirth: Uranus Superstar

Chapter 658 Press Conference

The main creators of "Steel Number" met harmoniously before the filming started. Everyone is very confident about this movie. After all, Han Sen and Tang Wu are both top-notch in China, and they are extremely popular among the younger generation. What's more, the investment of this film is as high as [-] million yuan, which itself is a huge gimmick, and it will attract countless people's attention when it is released in the future.

After the initial meeting, Xu Weizhou held a press conference and announced that "Steel" will officially start filming in early February.

At the press conference, Xu Weizhou showed the big ship model of "Steel", which cost a total of [-] million yuan. A huge cruise ship in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.

Through multiple shooting angles such as close-range shooting and high-altitude shooting, even some well-informed reporters were deeply shocked by the size of this cruise ship, which was once known as the world's largest.

You can already feel the unparalleled oppression and fear of giants on the screen, not to mention the feeling when you are on the scene. For a while, all the reporters were deeply impressed by the steel number. Some people even said in public that they must be serious and careful I have studied the history deeply, kept the details of this shipwreck that caused a sensation in the world firmly in my mind, and sincerely wished the "Steel" team a perfect shot and restored the epic sense of this giant ship.

At the press conference, Han Sen did not arrive at the scene because he was participating in some endorsement activities, but he also greeted the reporters at the scene through a video connection, and answered a few questions in public.

Although he didn't come to the scene in person, it didn't give people a feeling of playing big names, as if it should be like this.

Even if the film is directed by the great director Xu Weizhou himself, in terms of popularity and status, Han Sen's achievements so far are absolutely worthy of anyone.

At the press conference, someone asked Tang Wu what kind of prospect she had for this drama, and what kind of impression she had on Han Senyou, who was about to cooperate with her.

"My vision for this movie? It may be a bit exaggerated to say it. I think the future box office of this movie will definitely be among the top ten in global film history." Tang Wu said with a smile.

As soon as this sentence came out, there was an uproar at the scene.

At present, each of the top ten films in global film history started with a box office of tens of billions. Even if it is the most popular movie "Kung Fu" in the Spring Festival, it needs a lot of publicity and effort to enter the top ten box office in global film history. With a box office of 70 billion yuan, it has a chance to enter the top ten in global film history.

But at present, although "Kung Fu" is a big hit in China and is expected to earn about 60 billion at the box office, it can only rank in the top ten in Chinese film history. If you want to rank in the top ten in global film history, you basically have to get It was only able to rank tenth with a global box office of around 130 billion.

At present, the top box office in the world is the sci-fi film "Martian Romance", which was seven years ago, at the beginning of the century, when the Chinese director Mr. Shi Kepei retired. He devoted himself to photography and turned words into reality. In his 20 years of debut, he won numerous Chinese and even international film awards. When he was approaching retirement, he used all his life and funds to shoot this "sealed coffin".

The script of "Martian Romance" comes from Mr. Shi Kepei's novel of the same name. It took only two years for this film to be filmed, finalized, and then released. However, it has broken records in film history one after another and won the top ten box office in global film history. It only took two months.

However, it is a pity that Mr. Shi Kepei announced his death four years after the movie "Martian Romance" was released due to illness after he was over seventy years old.

After Mr. Shi Kepei passed away, in order to commemorate Mr. Shi Kepei's contribution and example to the Chinese and even world film circles, all countries jointly announced the re-screening of the reset version of "Martian Romance", adding the clips that were edited due to the length of time to the film. In the movie, the plot of the movie is more complete, and the character creation and the fullness of the story have reached the climax.

It was this re-screening that made the box office of "Martian Romance" the first in the world's film history, with a total box office of 260 billion.

This box office figure can be described as shocking, making "Martian Romance" the box office champion in global film history. To this day, there is still no work that can break it.

Even Xu Weizhou himself didn't dare to think about whether he could break the box office of "Martian Romance". Among the Chinese director Zhong of his generation, the late director Shi Kepei was a pioneer and a model.

But now that Tang Wu casually said that "Steel" can break the top ten in global film history, let alone the reporters are extremely surprised, even Xu Weizhou himself is shocked. He thought that the box office would be a big hit, but he didn't think it would be this big. degree.

Although Han Sen's last film "Kung Fu" is expected to reach a global box office of 60 billion, but it is at the right time, place and people. First of all, "Kung Fu" is Han Sen's first film, and fans all over the world will support it. No matter how bad the filming is, countless people will support it without thinking.

The second is the release time of this movie, which is during the Spring Festival. The power of the Spring Festival is very popular all over the world. Only Chinese audiences are the only ones with hundreds of millions of viewers flocking to the cinema at this time.

None of the movies released in this schedule has a simple background, and there are countless capital behind them.

The third and most important point is that "Kung Fu" is a comedy film, and it was released during the Spring Festival. As long as the filming level is qualified or meets the standard, it will basically have a good box office figure. Generally excellent, even on a global scale, "Kung Fu" is definitely on the list when it comes to comedy films alone.

This movie not only made Han Sen and Xiang Yihua's worth and status skyrocket, but also many impressive characters in the film, such as Baoyazhen, charter woman, charterer, Jiang Bao or Fat Boy Cong, dumb girl Yang Rong, etc. People, basically, their social status has skyrocketed, and they have reached the top-tier effect in an instant from an unknown low-level actor. Although this effect will disappear as the popularity of the movie fades, at present, it can be said that these supporting actors Its popularity is absolutely undeniable.

Every day, people are talking about "Kung Fu" and its actors on major social networking sites and forums. Among them, Yang Rong, a teacher at the Beijing Institute of Physical Education, has the fastest and most popular rise.

Today, Yang Rong is no longer able to easily appear in the school. Every time she appears, it will inevitably attract the crowds of students and cause congestion on the campus. Even Yang Rong herself did not think that the role she decided to play for a while would make her popular The whole network.

The pure appearance, the pitiful eyes, the graceful figure, and the milk-like skin made Yang Rong the goddess in the hearts of all audiences in the recent period.

After the film was broadcast, countless merchants waved money and invited Yang Rong to sign contracts worth millions, most of which were well-known women's clothing, skin care products and other women's brand products.

And other actors are also favored by capital to varying degrees.

With an investment of less than 1.5 million yuan, it got a box office of about 60 billion. This is definitely one of the classic cases in film history with low cost and high box office.

Of course, an investment of 1.5 million yuan is no longer a low cost. After all, the investment of many films has not reached 60 million yuan, but compared to the box office of 1.5 billion yuan, the box office of [-] million yuan is an absolute low cost.

And the ones whose worth, popularity, and strength have skyrocketed the fastest are director Xiang Yihua and leading actor Han Sen.

For Xiang Yihua's next movie, it is rumored that some employer has offered a salary of [-] million yuan and invited Xiang Yihua to direct a comedy film. This is really outrageous.

What's even more outrageous is Han Sen's net worth.

Now that Han Sen is participating in a movie, the salary is almost unlimited. There are even rumors that Han Sen wants to participate in the filming of the movie. In addition to the necessary role of the leading actor, Han Sen also needs to participate in the box office of the movie. commission.

The commission reaches about 20% of the box office share, that is, [-]% alone.

There is a precedent in the industry for actors to participate in the box office share, but basically it is two or three percentage points. It is very rare for an example like Han Sen to take 20% directly.

It is precisely because of the popularity of "Kung Fu" that Han Sen's second movie has attracted much attention.

Since the Spring Festival, countless people have been discussing the movie "Steel", because the investment of this movie exceeds [-] million, and it is revealed that this movie has been approved before "Kung Fu", and it is rumored that it is filming. Insufficient funds caused Han Sen to film "Kung Fu" to raise money in desperation, in order to film "Steel".

This kind of uproar has led to the highest level of anticipation in "Steel", and the highest degree of attention in history.

Amidst such huge discussions and expectations, "Steel" held a press conference to tell all fans that the filming of this film is about to start.

But Xu Weizhou never expected that Tang Wu would estimate the final box office figures of this movie to be among the top ten in the world.

It's pretty much putting the whole crew on the stove.

Seeing the shock and uproar of everyone at the press conference, Xu Weizhou coughed and quickly turned the tide: "Actually, there is no need to set such a high goal..."

"Director Xu, as the director of this film, do you have no confidence in the future box office of "Steel Man"?"

"Tang Wu predicts that this movie will reach the top ten box office. As far as I know, the movie that ranks tenth in the global box office is the American animation film "The Lion King Story", with a total global box office of 120 billion yuan. And the total production cost of this animated film is about 15 billion RMB.”

"If "Steel" wants to reach the top ten at the box office, it needs to get at least 130 billion in the global box office to be eligible to step into the top ten at the global box office."

"This film has Han Sen and Tang Wu's blessings, and director Xu Weizhou personally directed it, and Han Sen wrote the script himself. It is certain that the box office will surpass "Kung Fu", and the box office of "Kung Fu" will eventually be fixed at About 60 billion, this has not counted the global box office of "Kung Fu", if "Kung Fu" becomes popular after it is released overseas, then "Kung Fu" may enter the top ten of the global box office in advance, and the investment is higher than "Kung Fu" , "Steel Man", which was filmed more carefully, has no reason to be worse than "Kung Fu" at the box office!"

"Yes, Director Xu, I also think that the box office of "Steel Man" will reach the top ten in global film history!"

"I think so!"

The reporters expressed their opinions in a hurry, as if they wanted to solidify this sentence, and Xu Weizhou's face turned green when he heard it.

He hurriedly said: "Of course, the higher the box office of a movie, the better. I believe that "Steel Man" will give a good answer to the Chinese film industry!"

Then, after hastily answering a few questions, the press conference ended.

Xu Weizhou purely broke into a sweat.

Although he is a well-known director in the field of disaster films and science fiction films, when it comes to box office results, Xu Weizhou can't keep up with Xiang Yihua.

The highest box office record for works under Xiang Yihua's name is Kung Fu, which reached 60 billion yuan.

And that's just counting the domestic box office.

Although Xu Weizhou's status, strength, and fame are higher than Xiang Yihua's, his box office performance is not very satisfactory. The highest-grossing movie is only 30 billion.

So facing Tang Wu's blurted out of the top ten box office box office in global film history, Xu Weizhou was frightened into a cold sweat.

Even after the press conference was over, Xu Weizhou's heart was pounding faster and faster, but at the press conference, Tang Wu's loud and loud scene made Xu Weizhou have a long aftertaste.

"Do you really think that the movie "Steel Man" will reach the top ten in the global film and television box office?"

Before leaving, Xu Weizhou asked Tang Wu seriously.

Tang Wu nodded and said: "Yes, it will definitely be achieved."

"Why do you think so?" Xu Weizhou couldn't figure it out. He felt that it didn't make sense, because among the movies under Tang Wu's name, the highest-grossing movie was only more than a billion.

Tang Wu smiled and said, "Probably intuition."

Speaking of this, she remembered the conversation with Han Sen in the cafe that day. When Han Sen was talking about characters and movies, his expression was focused and serious, as if he was narrating something that had already happened. A character who has already seen it.

It's as if this person has really dived into the deep sea and lived in the steel ship.

"If an actor can have such a sense of belief, no matter what he does, he will be successful."

At that moment, Tang Wu's affection for Han Sen quickly piled up and was about to overflow.

Xu Weizhou originally thought that Tang Wu's answer would be well-founded, but who knew it would be so unreliable and rely on intuition?

He couldn't laugh or cry, his heart was already under heavy pressure.

So that in the next few days, before the start of filming, Xu Weizhou was already rehearsing continuously on the set in advance, hoping to shoot a shocking scene on the first day of filming.

On that day, tens of thousands of people will gather at the port to welcome the "miracle in the history of world industry" - the maiden voyage of the Steel.
