Emperor Superstar Cultivation System

Chapter 349: A Tale of Two Cities

"Boss, what's going on?" "Yeah, why did Director Zhang's assistant come to you suddenly?"

Gou Sicai suppressed his hands before calming down the chatter. He said with a wry smile, "Ms. Pang Xiaowei just called me. Director Zhang's new film will be held at two o'clock tomorrow at Langri Hotel."

"Do you still need to think about it? It must be going to Huayi! No matter how good Zhang Yimou is, now Huayi's tens of millions of film crews are also the top priority!"

"But..." Gou Sicai said helplessly, "Zhang Yimou's crew is also a crew of tens of millions! Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, Li Lianjie, Donnie Yen, Chen Daoming, the salary of just these few people is over 2000 million! How much investment do you think he will make? "

Silence came suddenly, and everyone felt that they had heard it wrong.

There are actually two companies at the end of this year, and two directors want to cut the first cut of this cake at the same time!It's still the Lunar New Year file, this is the rhythm of death!

Moreover, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping specially adjusted the press conference to the present, obviously because they wanted to take advantage of Huayi's film.Obviously, they are confident that this film, lineup, and investment can completely blow Huayi!

"The door of the country is wide open... These master-level directors and bosses finally couldn't help but make a move..." Gou Sicai sighed, and he thought for a while, "So, one, two, three groups go to the new screen, and four or five groups go to China. On Yi’s side, the public is not an ordinary entertainment magazine, even if they know that we go both ways, they won’t embarrass us.”

He smiled and said, "However, for other magazines, it's time to make choices..."

As he said, this evening, countless magazines were in a state of desperation about where to go.

There are veteran directors on one side, and new directors on the other. The veteran directors haven't made a movie for a while, but the new directors are in the limelight. No matter which side they give up, they are not reconciled.

And when the entire entertainment circle was buzzing, at dawn, a secret meeting was going on.

"Is this okay?" Feng Xiaogang frowned. "All of your things are based on the fact that the quality of World Without Thieves is really high. Once you miss, you will really become a stepping stone for a hero."

"I can only do this." Lin Xiao said seriously, "I also thought about it for a long time, but the final conclusion is: what do we use to compare with heroes? Investment? Artists? Fame?"

"To be honest, none of us can match each other! Quality, that is after the filming is over, and there are still several months. Why should the audience trust us? Even if we want to fight, what do we use to fight? Instead of fighting with lack of confidence It is better to just give up this city if the opponent is facing each other directly!"

Feng Xiaogang bit his lip, thought for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "You trust me so much?"

"I believe in everyone on this film."

After 3 minutes of silence, Feng Xiao just said, "But the press conference is the starting point of a movie!"

"Director Feng, you've heard of Tian Ji's horse racing, right?" Lin Xiao said, "Everything we do now is for the moment at the end of the year. We will come back later!"

There was silence again, and after a while, Feng Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "You play chess really well...so what if the hero is beyond imagination?"

Lin Xiao smiled, "No, the screenwriter of the hero is Zhang Yimou. I admit that his pictures are unique in the world, but he is definitely not as good as you as a screenwriter."

Feng Xiaogang smiled wryly, "I really don't want to hear this sentence at this time."

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Actually, I also have confidence in my film. If you use your method, if the hero fails in the script, A World Without Thieves will definitely become the biggest attraction at the end of the year!"

"The film has been a war since it was released, not only a war between the two crews, but also a business war between the two companies." Lin Xiao sighed, "Director Zhang chose to release at the same time, so why didn't he want to trample us to death? If you want to live on your own, You can’t say whether you are ruthless or not, you can’t even survive, so what kind of benevolence and morality are you talking about?”

"Besides, I'm not using dirty tricks. This is to confront them openly. It's just that the timing is too good."

He thinks it's nothing. These moves will be used badly in the future. If a film is to be popular, the quality is the first, but weakening the opponents of the same period is an indispensable homework for the company in the future.

On the contrary, no matter how good the moves are, if the quality is not good, they can only defeat Waterloo.For a movie to make a lot of money at the box office, both are indispensable.

This small but important meeting lasted until twelve o'clock in the evening.All the results will be announced the next day.

On May 22, the sky was cloudless.

The whole of China is still busy with daily work, and the entertainment industry, especially the film and television industry, has already become a sensation

Starting in the morning, people from all walks of life gathered in Xinhai and Langri.

After ten o'clock, there was a queue at the entrance of the two hotels. The police specially arranged a large number of policemen. Maybe they still don't understand the significance of these two films, but two investments of more than 2000 million yuan can kill people.

For micro magazines that cannot be entered, tripods, cameras, and microphones are added at the door. If you are lucky and catch someone, you will make a lot of money.

Many people even brought bread and drinks, ready to stay at the door.

At one o'clock, five red BMWs drove in front of Xinhai Hotel.

"There are so many people." Lin Xiao felt relieved in the first car, he was most afraid that there would be few people coming, which would disturb his momentum first.

"It's not too much." Sitting in the co-pilot's seat was Wang Zhongjun, and the crew's bosses, Lin Xiao, Feng Xiaogang, and Wang Zhongjun were all sitting in this car.

"As far as I know, seven of the top ten families have gone to Langri." He looked very serious. This is the first face-to-face competition between two super crews. The reporters will definitely exchange information. The news over there will change quickly. into the problem here.

"It's normal. After all, Lao Mouzi is the godfather of domestic movies. With such a large investment this time, their choice is not wrong." Feng Xiaogang also put away his laughter and scolding, and said solemnly, "Actually, if it wasn't for this In the first collision, we could still watch Guihong waving his five strings, but now, there are rocks collapsing, clouds and stormy waves hitting the shore."

"You..." Wang Zhongjun glanced at Feng Xiaogang, and asked hesitantly, "Do we really want to make such a statement?"

"That's all I can say." Lin Xiao said without hesitation in the back seat, "We have done what we have to do. The key to victory is whether the opponent has enough confidence in us. Moreover, the fruit of this victory will grow for a long time. We won't be able to taste until the end of the year."

The car didn't care about the crazy reporters who were stopped by the police, and drove directly to the back door.After getting out of the car, no one spoke, and all entered the lounge.

Ladies wear evening gowns, while men wear crisp suits.

No one spoke, and Wang Zhongjun had already specially greeted them. Today's press conference will mainly be made by him, Lin Xiao, and Feng Xiaogang, and the others can speak according to their meaning.

Time passed by, and at [-]:[-], a staff member entered the lounge and said respectfully, "Teachers, bosses, it's almost time."

"Let's go." Lin Xiao stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, "What should be faced, must be faced."

He patted Wang Baoqiang, who was sweating nervously, and said with a smile, "Get used to it, there will be plenty of opportunities like this in the future, people may not know it, but they have to learn, especially artists."

Wang Baoqiang nodded nervously.

When entering the front field, the noisy scene was instantly quiet.

On the big main stage, there is a row of red tables and chairs, with everyone's name tags on them, and behind it, there is a huge poster, which was funded by Huayi after the makeup was set. Lin Xiao, Ge You, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, Zhang Hanyu, Wang Baoqiang, close-ups of the six people, arranged in descending order.The four golden characters of "A World Without Thieves" are engraved on the top like a line of inscriptions.

Facing the main stage, there are a lot of machines, cameras, video cameras, dv, and almost all the video machines that can be seen are in battle. The reporters who were pointing at the poster just now all shot their anxious eyes. These few people who went out.

Wang Zhongjun went into battle himself and took the main seat, while Lin Xiao and Feng Xiaogang sat on both sides of him, and the others lined up one by one.

Everyone is adjusting their mentality, and they seem to speak easily, but in fact no one is relaxed.

At exactly two o'clock, Wang Zhongjun cleared his throat and spoke.

"Thank you for coming to the press conference of A World Without Thieves."

"As we all know, China has joined the WTO, and foreign blockbusters will surely enter the country more than before. How to deal with this situation. I think Chinese people should have their own brands! That's why Huayi invested in this blockbuster."

At the same time, Lang Rizhong is even more star-studded.

Everyone on the stage was either the movie godfather or an Asian superstar, and the number of reporters in the audience was more than half that of A World Without Thieves.

There is a huge poster wall, with close-ups of everyone printed on it, and the word "hero" like a sword, which makes everyone look sideways.

In advance, the new picture has already said that when they directly enter the free questioning session, they need to detonate more and attract other people's attention to themselves faster.

They want Huayi's influence to disappear in an instant.

The nameplate on the table, every name on it, can be called an Asia-Pacific superstar, and what is surprising is that besides Zhang Yimou, there is also a blond foreigner sitting next to Zhang Weiping.

His name tag reads: James Lee.

Will there be foreigners in this film?Everyone in the audience became suspicious.

"Welcome to my crew." Before they finished thinking, Zhang Yimou said with a smile, "Everyone has seen it too. My new film is called Hero."

"Who are the heroes? The filmmakers who dare to invest heavily and the artists who participated in this epic blockbuster are all heroes! They are destined to be famous forever! Become heroes in the history of Chinese film!"

"This is a pioneering commercial blockbuster in the history of Chinese film, and it will surely be remembered by future generations."

Zhang Weiping knocked his teacup, it was a signal, some topics had to be asked by the person he arranged.

Immediately, the reporter who received the benefits stood up wisely, "Director Zhang, I would like to ask, at the end of this year, not only will there be heroes, but also a blockbuster film with an investment of tens of millions will participate in the Lunar New Year war. It is reported that this film was produced by Huayi, the total amount of investment in Lixiao has reached more than 2000 million. I want to know, or everyone here wants to know, how much is Hero's investment?"

A smile appeared on Zhang Yimou's slender face, and he raised a finger, "500 million."

500 million?Everyone present was dumbfounded.

Look at the people sitting on the stage, the total salary exceeds 2000 million, and the investment is only 500 million?Where did the other 500 million come from?

"Dollar."

Wow!The audience was in an uproar.
