Chapter 388 New York University?

“Slam Dunk is an inspirational movie.”

"Inspirational movies focus on rhythm. Only with a good rhythm can the inspirational feeling be expressed."

"Otherwise, it's probably a bad movie."

"If what you just said is true."

"Even without talking about the plot, I can guess that there are problems with the rhythm of this movie."

"Generally speaking, if the rhythm of inspirational movies is problematic, their box office performance is bound to be poor."

"You can be mentally prepared."

Wang Shu spoke with a smile.

"." Zhang Yishan couldn't help but retort after hearing this, "Director Wang, Slam Dunk hasn't even been released yet, and you haven't even seen the content, are you so sure?"

Zhang Yishan was very upset that Wang Shu had made such a judgment on his first starring movie before it even hit theaters.

If he was not currently starring in "Travel to Taipei", given his temper as a rich second-generation young man, he would not have spoken so calmly.

Sun Li, Deng Chao and Yang Zi on the side were also surprised. For a moment they felt that Wang Shu was being too pretentious.

Wang Shu smiled and said, "I just made a preliminary judgment based on what you just said."

Zhang Yishan and Deng Chao heard this and thought that Director Wang still didn't dare to say what he said.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Wang Shu say, "But if nothing unexpected happens, it's almost certain."

"." These words left everyone speechless.

Although "Slam Dunk Showdown" is starred by Zhang Yishan, it doesn't sound like a big production.

But the movie hasn't been released yet, but Wang Shu dared to make such a bold statement.

Really, you're overdoing it.

Compared with Sun Li, Deng Chao and Yang Zi, the one who suffered the most was Zhang Yishan.

As his first movie as a leading actor, Zhang Yishan has been looking forward to "Slam Dunk" achieving good box office results.

Seeing Wang Shu's contempt, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured directly on his head.

Wang Shu saw that no one was talking. He knew that he was a big director now, and Sun Li, Deng Chao and others would not be so unemotional as to contradict him. He then said, "Don't disbelieve it."

"Let's just say that Slam Dunk is not going to do well at the box office."

"You guys will have to wait and see about this matter."

"." Zhang Yishan opened his mouth, feeling unhappy and wanting to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.

Although Wang Shu has not seen "Slam Dunk", he is a professional in directing.

Wang Shu made his analysis from a professional perspective as a director, which Zhang Yishan found difficult to refute.

Even if I refute it, it will not be convincing.

"Are you so sure?" Sun Li was surprised.

She was quite familiar with Wang Shu, and knew that if Wang Shu was not quite sure about something, he would not have said it so confidently.

Anyone who dares to say this now must be extremely pessimistic about the movie "Slam Dunk".

"Even though Yishan didn't say much, I am certain of what he said."

"Since Yishan said that the pace of filming Slam Dunk was no different from that of a TV series, then there is definitely a problem with the pace of this inspirational movie."

"As long as there is a problem with the rhythm of an inspirational movie, it will not be very good."

"So, even if he didn't say much, the answer is already revealed."

In fact, Wang Shu was so confident because he knew the movie "Slam Dunk".

This film tells the story of three friends who, despite the strength of their opponents and the opposition of their families, resolutely embark on the road of basketball confrontation, and finally defeat their opponents with their perseverance and united friendship.

Produced and filmed in 2007 and released on March 2008, 3.

In three days of release, it earned a total box office of 40 RMB.

Then, it was removed from theaters.

The film is directed by Canadian Chinese director Lin Haoran, and is his first film directed in China after coming to China from the United States. The film's narrative and characters all reveal an American flavor.

This director had only made two short films before filming "Slam Dunk".

"Slam Dunk" is not only the first film he directed in China, but also the first film he directed in his life.

Apparently he couldn't find opportunities in Hollywood, so he came to China to look for them.

After listening to this, Sun Li couldn't help but smile and said, "Then I'd like to see if it's as you said."

Deng Chao glanced at Zhang Yishan and gave a smile that was not awkward at all.

"Director Wang, the director of Slam Dunk is Lin Haoran, Lin Dao, a top student who graduated from New York University in the United States."

"Director Li An, you know this, right? Director Lin, like Director Li, graduated from New York University."

Zhang Yishan couldn't help but say.

After hearing this, Sun Li and Deng Chao couldn't help but look at Wang Shu.

When they heard that he graduated from New York University, they both looked at him with admiration.

"Slam Dunk" is a commercial film. Hollywood is far ahead in the field of commercial films, and Lin Haoran graduated from New York University.

This seems to have an explanation.

"New York University?" Wang Shu smacked his lips.

Of course, he understood what Zhang Yishan meant. This was to express that the director of "Slam Dunk Duel" was capable, thus showing that "Slam Dunk Duel" would not be bad.

But Lin Haoran is not Li An.

Even though I graduated from New York University, it doesn’t mean I have anything.

So he smiled and said, "It's no use talking too much, just wait and see."

After that, he immediately added, "It's getting late, we still have to hurry up and shoot, go get ready."

Sun Li and Deng Chao looked at each other and had something to say but didn't say it.

Zhang Yishan has already said that the director of "Slam Dunk" graduated from New York University, but Wang Shu is still so confident.

All I can say is that Wang Shu might have gotten too carried away this time, and there's a high probability that he'll be slapped in the face.

Due to director Wang Shuda's identity, the two of them thought so in their hearts but did not say it out loud.

Zhang Yishan opened his mouth, and the young and energetic rich second generation couldn't help but answer: "Director Wang, then we will wait and see." "Haha." Wang Shu laughed and said, "Just don't be embarrassed to see people when the time comes."

Zhang Yishan immediately said: "I believe that 'Slam Dunk' directed by Lin Haoran will definitely achieve good box office after its release."

What he meant was that the one who would be slapped in the face would be Wang Shu.

However, no matter how unhappy he was, he knew it was not appropriate to say such things in front of Wang Shu.

Because if Wang Shu really got slapped in the face, then he would be the culprit who caused Wang Shu to lose face.

As an actor who hopes to have the opportunity to star in a movie directed by Wang Shu in the future, I know that I can offend no one but Wang Shu.

Unless you don't want to act in a movie directed by Wang Shu, then there is no problem.

Sun Li said at the right time: "Didn't Director Wang just say that he had to rush to shoot? Why don't you hurry up and prepare?"

After these words were spoken, Deng Chao and others immediately went to prepare.

He knew that Sun Li interrupted to end the topic, so he turned around and took the lead.

A busy day of shooting ended.

Since everyone was busy with work, the topic of "Slam Dunk Showdown" was gradually put aside.

Of course, compared to Deng Chao and others who no longer cared about it, Zhang Yishan, as one of the male protagonists of "Slam Dunk Showdown", kept it in mind.

backfires.

In this respect, she is similar to Hollywood star Anne Hathaway.

Since becoming famous, Anne Hathaway has always been one of the most hated female stars by European and American netizens.

When it comes to Anne Hathaway, everyone is a hater and few speak for her.

Upon closer inspection, Anne Hathaway has not made any mistakes and has no black material. Compared with many messy actors in Hollywood, she can even be considered a white lotus.

But she is hated by European and American netizens.

The ultimate reason is Anne Hathaway's personality.

Since her debut, Anne Hathaway's company has been portraying her as the perfect woman.

In fact, Anne Hathaway's personality is a bit funny and she speaks without thinking.

Her company markets her as a perfect woman, but netizens in Europe and the United States have discovered that Anne Hathaway is not perfect.

She is not a fairy, but an ordinary person who also poops.

Due to excessive marketing, it has the opposite effect.

To the extent that Anne Hathaway has always been one of the most hated female stars by European and American netizens.

Of course, as time went by, netizens in Europe and the United States suddenly discovered that compared with other Hollywood actors, Anne Hathaway had no other major problems except that her marketing personality did not match her true self.

In this situation, Anne Hathaway not only did not complain about herself, but also went on the show to make fun of herself, which gradually made many people reflect on whether they were too harsh on her.

Because many bad artists in Hollywood have not been treated so harshly.

Anne Hathaway, an actress with no major issues and a positive attitude, was treated so harshly.
As such reflections emerged, Anne Hathaway's reputation began to reverse.

Even though people who don't like her still dislike her, at least they don't treat her harshly.

And Gillian also has a similar situation in terms of reversal of reputation.

Gillian's reputation had reversed before she reappeared in the public eye many years later.

Just like Anne Hathaway's perfect princess persona has become a thing of the past.
The biggest event in January and February 2008 was the snowstorm in the south.

Previously, at the 2008 Spring Festival Film Concert, hundreds of filmmakers gathered at the Mei Lanfang Grand Theatre.

"Assembly" was a big hit, and the high-spirited Feng Xiaogang launched an initiative to donate money and love to the snow-stricken areas in the south, which received a warm response from the filmmakers present.

More than 52 filmmakers donated money on the spot, and the whole evening raised more than yuan.
Feng Xiaogang said: "Sixteen provinces in the south were affected. Many cars were stuck on the highway and many people were freezing in their cars. I watched these TV reports over the past two days. Many children kept eating instant noodles and couldn't finish them. Many kind-hearted people sent them rice. It makes me feel uneasy that so many people are suffering from the disaster."

Then, he took out two wrapped handbags, one for the "Assembly" crew and Huayi donated 10 yuan, and the other for him and Xu Fan and his wife donated 5 yuan...

Feng Xiaogang also introduced: "In fact, Zhu Shimao donated 20 yuan to the children of the Border Hope Primary School yesterday. Although he did not prepare today, I think he will not fall behind. Director Feng Xiaoning also donated 10 yuan to the disaster area yesterday..."

Then, Zhu Shimao pledged on the stage to donate 5 yuan and said, "The check will be delivered tomorrow."

After taking office, Zhang Guoli and his wife donated 5 yuan to the Red Cross.

Then he led everyone to sing "Unity is Strength" to express the determination of the people across the country to unite and defeat the snowstorm. The audience also clapped and sang along.

It is said that this unplanned and somewhat sudden scene brought the entire evening to a touching climax early.

In addition to Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Guoli, Ren Quan and others who directly handed over the cash to the Red Cross on the stage, Wu Tianmin and others pledged to donate 10 yuan and 1 yuan respectively on behalf of Xi'an Qujiang Film and Television Group and individuals.

Fan Binbin called Feng Xiaogang and asked him to convey that he would donate 5 yuan.

More stars put the donations directly into the donation boxes set up in the hall after the concert.

Wang Shu couldn't help but laugh when he heard the news.

It brought together many celebrities from Huayi and half of the Beijing entertainment industry, with a total donation of 52 yuan.
Wang Shu was busy filming and did not join in the fun.

However, his Yikeshu company has already donated 200 million and 100 million on behalf of the company and he personally, totaling 300 million.

In 2008, millionaires were pretty impressive.

In film and television works, millionaires are equated with rich people in various ways.

300W is really a lot.

It’s not that Wang Shu didn’t want to donate more, but there were several reasons that prompted him to donate only 300 million yuan.

First, the donated money will be "lost", which is what makes him unhappy.

Second, the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis has already emerged and will erupt completely in a few months, so prepare to invest in stocks.

Third, if he donated too much money at once, it would reveal that he owns several companies.

Although this kind of thing can be easily found out with a little investigation, no one is thinking about it at the moment.

But if he donated a huge sum of money at once, he would definitely attract attention and then be exposed.

Fourthly, he donated too much, which made other actors’ donations lesser and brought shame to many people.

Fifth,
In short, various reasons combined prompted him to donate a huge sum of 300 million yuan to the Yikeshu Company.

In comparison, Huayi, the leading private film company, only donated 10 yuan.

By comparison, half of the artists in Beijing's entertainment industry combined, including Huayi, only donated 52 yuan.
300W is a huge sum of money!
Not to mention, several other companies under his control also made separate donations.
