China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 59 Press Conference

dinner at night.

Gu Wei took out the gift he had prepared and gave it to his parents.

Father Gu took the watch and put it on, it was obvious that he liked the watch very much.

Gu's mother took the bag and fiddled with it happily, and said, "You can't waste money if you have money. What's the use of buying these for your dad and us, just keep the money and spend it yourself."

But the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

"It's for the children to honor us, so you can just keep it, and he's not short of this money."

In the eyes of Gu's father and Gu's mother, it doesn't matter whether the gift is expensive or not, the most important thing is the child's filial piety.

Of course, Gu's father and mother who received the gift can imagine that when they return home, they will show off again. Gu Wei will definitely become a typical example of "other people's children" among relatives and friends.

Things in the capital are almost done, and Gu Wei's parents are going back to their hometown.

Gu's father is still worried about his factory, after all, it has been his hard work for more than ten years.Although making money is incomparable with his son, it is his real career.

Within two days, Gu Wei took his parents home by plane.

On February 2th, Beijing Wanda Hotel.

The conference hall was already full of people.

With the influence of China Film, Wanda, and Enlight in the industry, basically all the media that counts in China are present today.

Everyone knows that this is a press conference for the opening of a new movie. Regardless of whether you like this movie or not, the three major companies have to give face.

On the stage, there was a huge poster hanging on the background board. On it, Gu Wei and Bao Qiang were wearing detective-style trench coats and black sunglasses, striding forward arrogantly.

The background is the messy streets of Chinatown, and on the top is a huge billboard with five striking characters of 'Detective Chinatown' written on it.

For China Film Group, Director Han, who has a good relationship with Gu Wei and the others, was present. Wanda had a department manager from the film and television production department. Only Guang Guang was present in person.

It can be seen that the light attaches great importance to this cooperation. Of course, in this time period, compared with China Shadow, which has a big tree and deep roots, and Wanda, which is rich and powerful and has theater resources, the light is relatively weak.

On the stage, Gu Wei and other main creators sat down.

"Good morning, friends from the media, welcome to the opening press conference of the movie [Detective Chinatown]"

The host is Guangguang's Huadan Xie Nan. First, he briefly introduced the film's producer and creative staff, and then entered the most important part of the media interview.

"Director Gu Wei, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making this movie?" a reporter asked.

"Movies are the art of creating dreams. When I am an actor, I will perform roles according to the requirements of the director and the script of the screenwriter.

But sometimes I think about some things, and some fragments often flash in my mind. Although they are scattered, I simply recorded them all. Later, I structured the recorded things into a story.

I know this is my own dream.

I hope to turn my dream into a movie and put it on the big screen so that it can be shared with everyone. I hope everyone can see it and like it even more. "

Gu Wei said seriously.

"How can you be sure that the audience will like your dream?" The reporter who asked the question became more and more impolite.

Gu Wei is not angry either
"So it requires the efforts of our entire crew, I believe my crew is an excellent crew, from the actors to the staff of the crew are the best in the industry.

As long as we work together, we can present a wonderful movie to the audience. "

"You are just an actor, and you only have one work before, and you have never directed a movie. What kind of courage gave you the courage to act as a director and shoot such an expensive movie?"

This time the question was asked by a reporter from the Southern Metropolis Daily.The questions raised are more pointed.

But this is not surprising. The purpose of Southern Metropolis Daily has always been to put entertainment first, and report whenever there is a topic.

This newspaper originated in Guangdong Province, focusing on the two central cities of Guangdong Province and Shenzhen.

Perhaps because of its proximity to Hong Kong Island, its reporting style is also in line with some media on Hong Kong Island.Ask questions as sharply as possible, report as exaggerated as reports.

As for how the parties feel, they don't care, sales are the first.

"There is a first time for everything. No one is born with the ability to make movies. Look at director Xu Zheng, who is also an actor who turned into a director, and he still sells well at the box office. This is a well-known fact.

I don't think I lack the courage to try. " Gu Wei was not angry, but looked at the reporter who asked the question with firm eyes and said loudly.

When the media interviews this kind of thing, whoever gets angry loses.

You are interviewed for publicity and to increase popularity.The reason he can interview you is to increase sales, no one has any grudge against anyone, everyone is just for profit.

No matter what the question is, Gu Wei can not answer or fight back with sharp words, but there is no need to swear, after all, it is not worthwhile to lose his demeanor for publicity.

"Excuse me, Producer Chen, how much is our investment in this film?" The media turned the question to Chen Zhixi.

"Because the entire filming of our film was carried out abroad, and the scenes involved are more complicated, and there are more people involved. The entire investment is about 7000 million." Chen Zhixi replied.

[Detective Chinatown] The original time and space of this movie was filmed in 14, with an investment of 8000 million.

Now that the filming is a year ahead of schedule, the actors' remuneration and labor prices have been reduced, and 7000 million is enough.

As soon as Chen Zhixi's voice fell, the audience was in an uproar.

Immediately the discussion sounded.

None of these reporters expected that Gu Wei, a pure newcomer, would invest so much in his first film.

Although since last year, the domestic film market has become more and more huge, the domestic box office champion has been lifted to a height of 12 billion by "囧囧".

But you must know that "Tai囧" is an example, and it does not represent the general box office of movies in the market.

整个2012年上映票房在2亿以上的国内电影只有6部，顾卫的电影7000万的投资，只有票房在2亿以上才能收回成本。

How can he, a rookie director making a film for the first time, have the confidence to be one of these 6 films.

"Director Gu Wei, how did you convince investors to pay for your film?" As soon as the investment amount for the film came out, the question turned to Gu Wei.

Gu Wei didn't care about the comments of the reporters at all.

"I believe everyone has just heard the introduction from the host. The producers of this movie are Wei Mingxia, China Film, Wanda, and Light.

It is not convenient for me to disclose the specific investment ratio. I can only tell you that the film is controlled and invested by Wei Mingxia, and I pay for my dream with my own money. This is not too much. "

As soon as the words fell, the reporters were talking again.

Judging from Gu Wei's experience and age, none of the reporters in the audience were optimistic about his movies. There is a high probability of bad movies, and losses are certain. This is their consensus.

I didn't expect Gu Wei to spend his own money to make a movie, such confidence, courage, and money
Then a reporter asked

"Excuse me, Director Gu, did your family give you the money to invest in the movie? What does your family do?"

Gu Wei didn't care about the reporters' comments at all, and he had expected their misgivings, he replied with a smile

"This reporter, it's the film's opening press conference. I can't answer anything unrelated to the film."

After that, the enthusiasm of the reporters was also ignited, and they asked a series of questions.

Gu Wei naturally responded in a calm and unhurried manner, bragging if he should, anyway, bragging doesn't pay taxes.

He is also prepared for how these media will report after today, but as a filmmaker, he is not afraid of big things. Don’t care what you report, as long as there is heat, the most fear is that there will be no hits, no splashes, and no one will know that you are making a new movie. .

"May I ask Baoqiang, why did you accept this movie?" The reporter began to ask other main creators.

"At the beginning, the director asked me to play the leading role 'Tang Ren', and told me that this role was mine. I was a little flattered. Later, I read the script and found that the director is really talented. This is a very good story. I believe it will be released. You will not be disappointed in the future.”

Bao Qiang smiled honestly, but the words he said were impeccable.

The reporters interviewed other actors in the play one after another, and everyone responded normally, and it was not as explosive as Gu Wei said.

As all the main creative personnel of the crew came to the stage to take a group photo, the launch conference also came to an end.

The reporters walked out of the conference hall one by one with full interview materials.

Gu Wei didn't ask the people in the company to stuff red envelopes, not because he didn't know how to behave, but because this press conference was completely unnecessary.

It is true that Gu Wei has a lot of troubles when he is a director in making movies. Even if he gave a red envelope to the reporter, at most he would be tactful when he was mocking.

And the filming of the movie has not started yet, Gu Wei only needs to be popular, let the public know that there is such a movie that is going to be filmed, it doesn't matter whether it is positive or negative.

In the end, it depends on the publicity in the early stage of the release and the quality of the movie.

After the press conference, Gu Wei approached Xie Nan who was packing up his things and preparing to leave.

"Sister Nan, I'm very glad to meet you today. I'm sorry to trouble you for today's press conference. The host was great." Gu Wei said with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Gu is overwhelmed. Is this my job? I can't thank you for anything." Xie Nan was obviously a little puzzled.

"Sister Nan, I'm Brother Jing's movie fan. I watched his [Tai Chi Master] since I was a child, and I really like him." Gu Wei explained.

At this time, Wu Jing and Xie Nan were in the period of passionate love. In December last year, the two announced their relationship on Weibo official. This news was also a big news in the entertainment circle at that time.

Hearing that Gu Wei was Wu Jing's fan, Xie Nan also let go of his last ounce of guard. She was also very happy that her boyfriend was liked by others, and she was even more proud to be liked by someone of status like Gu Wei.

"Sister Nan, what has Brother Jing been up to lately? When we have time, let's go out for a meal together. I'll treat you and satisfy my fan's childhood wish." Gu Wei asked.

Where does Gu Wei like Wu Jing, he just likes money.

At this time, Wu Jing's [Wolf Warrior 1] hasn't come out yet, so we need to establish a good relationship first, and it's best to invest in his movie, and then just lie down and count the money.

[Wolf Warrior] This movie is not like [Detective Chinatown], which mainly focuses on the plot. [Wolf Warrior] has too much Wu Jing style, and it is basically his own movie.If there is no Wu Jing, the same story will be filmed by others, and the box office may not be the same.

You can see that after [Wolf Warrior] became popular in the original time and space, it followed the trend and made red movies with personal hero ideas one after another, and finally rushed one after another.

The most obvious example is the big black bull, who has both capital blessing and girlfriend platform, and finally threw himself on the capital's father and was unwilling to talk to him.

"Wu Jing is preparing a movie recently, and he is a little busy. When I have time to see him, I will let him find you." Xie Nan said happily.

"Sister Nan, I have my own film company, and I have also invested in two films. If Brother Jing needs investment, you can ask him to come to me. I believe that movies made at Brother Jing's level will definitely sell well." Wei Yi acted like I was a real fan of Wu Jing, and I gave up my face just to make money.

Xie Nan was pleasantly surprised when she heard this, because she knew that Wu Jing was preparing to make his own movie recently and was really short of money.

"Mr. Gu, thank you very much for your liking for him. I will definitely pass on your words to Wu Jing."

"Sister Nan, you don't have to be too polite with me, so I'll wait for your call."

The two exchanged contact information with each other.
