Emperor Superstar Cultivation System

A reporter puts his hands in front of his eyes, changing gestures constantly.Someone next to me wondered "what are you doing?"

"I was thinking about how to peel a raw egg by hand." The reporter said doubtfully, "What dexterous fingers. You said... what is after peeling the eggshell?"

"Egg membrane..." The man also exclaimed, "Peel off a complete egg membrane and still not break?!"

"This is the way to be a thief... This way is not morality, but reason. Every profession has its own unique skills..." The reporter sighed, "They can do some gimmicks, Director Zhang is famous, But Director Feng's films are not bad either."

"Yeah, with an investment of 2000 million, they have the heart not to hit the [-] million box office?"

"The tide ebbs and flows." Wang Zhongjun said in a low voice, "Heroes should be admired, and a world without thieves should not make people despair. It is necessary to properly raise their interest."

"This is just the first wave." Lin Xiao nodded to the reporter with a smile on his face, and replied in a low voice, "Mr. Wang, how can they use US dollars to calculate? This already shows a fact!"

Wang Zhongjun's eyes brightened, "You mean, behind him is the support of American companies?!"

Immediately, he realized that his heart skipped a beat, "This means... the hero will be released globally? Like American blockbusters, the global box office is calculated?! Even... hit the Oscars?!"

Lin Xiao nodded silently, but he was a little indifferent in his heart.

Zhang Yimou did have the idea of ​​hitting the Oscars, but he was not born as a screenwriter like Feng Xiaogang, and he obviously lacks the ability to control the plot. When the soul of the film is incomplete, no matter how beautiful the picture is, it cannot save it.

As a result, the global release of Hero has mixed reviews, and most people watched it because of his accumulated reputation like the Red Lantern.It still got a good box office. Later, in Flying Daggers, the city was full of golden armor, and the three guns, the global box office was getting lower and lower, and the three guns reached a peak. At that time, there was a lot of criticism.If he hadn't been "saved" by the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, his reputation would have plummeted.

With this lesson learned from the past, Lin Xiao understands that before he fully understands the commercialization, participating in global releases will only ruin his reputation. It is better to focus on domestic places, which have a similar cultural atmosphere to Asia.

It was precisely because he knew what the hero would look like in the end that he dared to take this move.

The words of Lin Xiao, Wang Zhongjun, and Feng Xiaogang were immediately transmitted to Langri Hotel in the form of mobile phones.

"Director Zhang." A reporter stood up and asked, "Just now, news came from colleagues at Xinhai Hotel that Huayi's crew was officially named A World Without Thieves, with an investment of 2000 million. The investor, Lin Xiao, said that Heroes has high investment standards and a strong lineup. Both are ice-breaking works of Chinese commercial films, and there is no winner or loser.”

"What?" "He actually said that? Didn't he bow his head and admit defeat?" "It's hard to meet two domestic blockbusters in a Lunar New Year showdown, and one side is the first to lower its profile?!"

Immediately, the reporters were talking a lot. They had no idea that the World Without Thieves, who had attracted much attention a few days ago, actually bowed his head at this moment? !

"Director Zhang is too famous, and the investment of [-] million here should be the last straw that broke the camel's back..." A reporter sighed, "Director Zhang is the godfather of Chinese film, and everyone else here is not a symbol of an era... It is also good that Huayi can clearly position itself."

"That is to say, Huayi knows that his influence is not as good as that of Director Zhang's crew, so he simply directs his attention to the hero and makes it compete with foreign blockbusters. And he accumulates silently. Once the box office becomes popular, everyone's attention will naturally It will fall to the top, and then it will have a low-key reputation?" The person next to him said doubtfully.

"It should be like this, but in this way, the limelight will all be the hero's." The person who started to speak frowned, "But this kind of retreat, even if the box office is bleak at the end of the year, and the hero's influence, the media should also accept it." Not too harsh."

"After all, these two films are ice-breaking works of domestic blockbusters."

On the main stage, Zhang Yimou had a rare smile on his thin face.

The [-] million investment just now is just an appetizer, and it is also the fuse. There are too many places where a heroic crew can overwhelm a world without thief.

They plan to address the deficiencies of A World Without Thieves one by one, first is investment, then directors, artists, and finally channels, they want to break all the places that A World Without Thieves is proud of.Let this film, which was highly anticipated a few days ago, become their cornerstone.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so sensible that he directly showed weakness.

"A World Without Thieves, I appreciate Director Feng's technique more. He can see the big from the small. However, I believe that Director Zhang has shot so many award-winning works, and the quality can be guaranteed." This time, it was Zhang Weiping who said, "Domestic I'm afraid no director has won more awards than Director Zhang."

The implication is, what about Feng Xiaogang?Are you out of the country?The new film star, the heroine of Qiong Yao's drama, what is the queen of the show compared to our lineup?

"As for the outcome..."

Before he finished speaking, suddenly, an awkward Chinese voice sounded, "As for the outcome, I completely disagree with their point of view!"

Following the voice, everyone was surprised to find that it was James sitting next to Zhang Weiping.

"Let me introduce myself. I am the person in charge of the Miramax hero project, James Lee." His Chinese is not standard, but fortunately he can basically understand it. Max Company has injected capital. This film will be released globally, and it is a real blockbuster."

Now, the audience was silent, because everyone was shocked and speechless.

Miramax, the world-renowned film company, is no stranger to Chinese reporters. Shaolin football, and this year's Infernal Affairs, all have Miramax investment!

"That is to say... this film will hit the overseas market?" A reporter exclaimed, "This is the first time!"

"Overseas channels... This is considered a global box office like the Titanic! No wonder Huayi and Poxiao put on a low profile. They must have known about the wind."

"It was released worldwide, and the domestic box office is one of the best. Director Zhang has a big heart."

James didn't care about everyone's surprise, and continued on his own, "In the United States, before the shooting of every film, every step is carefully calculated, what kind of opponents there are, and how to surpass them. It can be said that every good film They are all opponents."

He looked around the crowd, "If the current situation in China happens, I dare say that commercial spies will be sent out."

"Since we are opponents, there will be winners and losers, and this win or loss, apart from the quality of itself, is actually accumulated bit by bit. From the press conference to the box office reimbursement. Not only the hard work of the director, but also the The major companies are fighting openly and secretly. As you said, the crew of A World Without Thieves showed weakness, I can only think that they are afraid!"

"I don't blame them, because there is no comparison between the two crews. One has an investment of over 2000 million, a superstar lineup, and a godfather-level director. The other has an investment of [-] million, a second-class star lineup, and a new director. Don't say They, anyone can see the gap. On the contrary, I think they are very wise, very cleverly positioned themselves, that is, the hero will fight against the foreign blockbusters, and the world without thieves will follow behind to drink soup."

When Zhang Yimou heard this, he remained calm. In fact, it could be regarded as a kind of tacit consent, but he would not say it.

His own resume is the capital of self-confidence. He fully believes that heroes absolutely have the capital of overwhelming everything!Even overseas blockbusters must be made available to him by the end of this year.

James is still talking freely, and it can be seen that he is very excited, and his face is red.

"The cooperation between Miramax and Director Zhang is a strong alliance. We have the ability to promote this film to the world and put it in American theaters. But can A World Without Thieves do it? Friends, this is obviously not the case. It is possible. The positioning of the two films is different. They also clearly saw the gap."

If Lin Xiao was here, he would have scoffed.James kept talking about things in a "global theory", but he never thought that the main battlefield of A World Without Thieves and Heroes is China!Here are their roots!

One already felt that it was neither serious nor serious, while the other was trying his best, and there was a difference in thinking from the beginning.

"...So, I can only say that this victory or defeat started from the press conference, and they chose to surrender without a fight. This is a cowardly performance. They have lost when the Chinese film industry is in transition. Qualified to compete..."

Chen Daoming raised his eyebrows and smiled, Li Lianjie next to him asked in a low voice, "Is this investor a representative of Miramax?"

"Lao Mei speaks directly, don't mind." Zhang Weiping laughed.

You won't get tired of the hymn after listening to it for a long time. Even if they think James' words are a bit too much, who wouldn't like the taste of being admired by thousands of people?

The flashing lights kept on, and the reporters were struggling to record it.A piece of information overflows from their pens, as long as they go back and process it, it will be a good article.

The tone of the article has already been set.

"Zhang Yimou, hero! Invested 500 million US dollars! Miramax invested! Released worldwide! Huayi, Breaking Dawn, A World Without Thieves, came back in defeat."

"Who would have thought that Director Feng's new film - A World Without Thieves, which was still on the cusp a few days ago, would turn around and surrender at Director Zhang's simultaneous press conference? Is it an investment of [-] million yuan, or Miramax's global cinema? Wire?"

"In the battle between the two cities, I expected to see a competitive ending, but unexpectedly, one side abstained directly. It has to be said that it is a tragedy for the film industry."

James sat down, and Zhang Weiping smiled and said, "Mr. James is right, but I still want to reiterate that this time, it is an ice-breaking trip. Whether it is a hero or a world without thieves, they are all pioneers and deserve respect. "

In his mind, they punched out with one punch, but found that the opponent bowed his head and conceded before the fist reached. Although it was a bit dissatisfying, they achieved the result they wanted.
