Chapter 289 On the Feasibility of Copycats

(please order!)

Clap clap clap clap!
After the end credits appeared on the big screen, thunderous applause erupted in the entire screening hall, whether it was dozens of celebrity guests, three hundred lucky fans, or some film critics who took the initiative to join in. Everyone gave the warmest applause for "John Wick".

This movie with a particularly outstanding personal style is absolutely top-notch in terms of viewing, and its commercial index is also completely bursting.

Of course, if you have to make strong criticisms, the storylines are relatively old-fashioned, and many of the plots are somewhat illogical and full of attack points. Some kind of spiritual inspiration is really doing things with sincerity.

"Thank you for your support, I don't have too many words, only thank you, thank you, thank you again!"

Facing the continuous applause of the crowd, Fu Luo, Fan Bingbing, and Michael Bay, the three main creators of "John Wick", boarded the small stage in front of the big screen together, and after a ninety-degree bow, Fu Luo Luo was the first to say thank you.

Clap clap clap clap!
After the Fu Luo language fell, there was another burst of warm applause, and at the right time, He Jiong, who once again acted as the temporary host, also took the initiative to take the lead and said: "I believe everyone has watched "Quick Chase" After watching this movie, everyone will feel that this is a particularly good movie, so how did such a good movie come out? Let Fu Luo, Bingbing, and director Michael Bay come together Share it for us."

While He Jiong was speaking, Fu Luo also acted as a temporary interpreter for Michael Bay. After the translation was completed, he asked Michael Bay, a director who came from afar, to speak first.

And Michael Bay was not polite, he simply brewed for a while, then picked up the microphone in his hand and said: "First of all, I am very happy to be able to come to China this time, and thank you for liking "John Wick" , and when I made this movie, it was actually a very pleasant process, because I met a very good actor, that is Fu, he is really special, those difficult and incredible moves, Fu every time It’s amazing how easy it is to complete, that’s why I say it’s a pleasant process, thank you!”

Fu Luo didn't expect Michael Bay to praise him as a temporary translator. After thinking about it, he simplified Michael Bay's words into: "Director Michael Bay is very happy to come to China, and thank you all I like the movie "John Wick", and the rest are all praising me, haha!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the people present gave a knowing smile. In fact, there are so many people present, it is not a "superior" who can understand English, and whether they can understand English or not, Michael Bay I believe most people still understand the word "fu" in the words.

"Okay, thank you Director Michael Bay for sharing with me, then let me ask Bingbing again, Bingbing, it should be your first time to make a movie in Hollywood, right? Do you have any special feelings about this experience?"

At the right time, He Jiong brought the topic to Fan Bingbing again.

"Actually, it's okay. The only feeling is that I finish work on time every day. It's not as rushed as in China. On the whole, it will definitely be a lot easier. And the language problem is also a big problem for me. Now I really regret that I didn't study English well at the beginning, so I can only work hard to make up for it, and hope that one day I can be as good as Fu Luo said, and it will be perfect!"

In fact, if you really want to ask Fan Bingbing how he feels, then there are really many things, the first time someone grabbed his chest, the first time he was tall when he was filming a movie, and he almost made a fool of himself, but these Naturally, things cannot be said, they can only be buried in my heart forever.

Then she didn't forget to laugh at herself, English is really not easy to learn, especially those grammars, which can kill Fan Bingbing, who can speak as well as Fu Luo, that is really a A perfect dream, but no matter how perfect it is, it is still a dream, and one day I will wake up.

"Come on, Bingbing, where there is a will, there is a way." For Fan Bingbing's words, He Jiong can only give such a comforting word.

Next, under the host of He Jiong, Fu Luo, Michael Bay, and Fan Bingbing each answered a lot of questions. The three of them are basically you praise me, I praise you, hello, hello, hello everyone, These routines are actually the questions that should be asked.

About 15 minutes later, He Jiong found a similar opportunity to end the interaction on the stage, and announced the successful conclusion of the premiere of "John Wick".

Then, Fu Luo, as the host, invited a group of celebrity guests to the previous star-rated hotel for a dinner party. Except for Zhang Yimou, Wang Xiaoshuai, Wu Yusen, and Michael Bei who had to leave early because of something, all the rest of the stars were invited. It was very face-saving to stay and went to this dinner together.

Lao Mouzi must be really busy here, Wang Xiaoshuai has never liked this kind of crowded occasions, and Wu Yusen's appearance today is already a "miracle", and it is quite normal not to stay for the dinner.

As for Michael Bay, after all, he is a foreigner and does not understand the language, and he really can't find a common topic with a group of Chinese stars, and with so many guests, it is naturally impossible for Fu Luo to stay by Michael Bay's side all the time, so simply The leave to is the best choice.

The early departure of Zhang Yimou, Wu Yusen, and Michael Bay made many stars a little disappointed. After all, it is rare to meet so many big directors together at one time. It is definitely the best time to build relationships. Unfortunately, "people" Not as good as people want.

As soon as they thought of this, everyone suddenly envied Fu Luolai again. It seems that in the whole of China, only this master and this big director had worked together, including Feng Xiaofeng and Xu Ke who stayed behind. It's enviable, jealous and hateful. With such a good opportunity, it's a breeze for anyone to achieve the same achievement as Fu Luo.

Of course, Fu Luo didn't know the complex thoughts of the people. When the dinner started, he picked up the wine bottle and started toasting Jiang Xiaoyu and Guan Qingqing one by one. Everyone came today to save face for him, so he naturally wanted to express himself Not to mention drinking a big glass of wine with everyone, it is still necessary to have a taste of it.

In other words, his current status is already considered very high, and there is only time to accumulate qualifications, and this is a matter of age rather than strength, so he can only take it slowly, so celebrities who are less senior than him and of average fame will definitely not be as good as him. He dared not take the initiative to persuade him to drink.

And those who can persuade him to drink are either good friends like Deng Chao, or other celebrities with qualifications and strengths, such as Feng Xiaogang, Xu Ke, etc., but it is obvious that these two types of people will not take the initiative to persuade him to drink. This kind of thing, after all, everyone is a sensible person, no one will deliberately mess around.

"Hey, I think "John Wick" might break the record of "Assembly Number" this time, Director Feng and Director Xu, look, if we Huayi also make a movie like this, we will invite two more to direct it , is there any maneuverability?"

Glancing at Fu Luo who was toasting at the other table, Little Old Wang suddenly half-jokingly, half-seriously asked Feng Xiaogang and Xu Ke who were sitting next to him.

Having been in this industry for so many years, Xiao Lao Wang can probably tell whether a movie will sell or not. After watching "John Wick" today, he suddenly had this feeling in his heart. In terms of perspective, things like following the trend are the norm in the circle, and it's not his family's business. Anyway, everyone does it, and the Huayi Brothers can naturally do it too.

"It's hard."

After hearing Xiao Lao Wang's words, Xu Ke was the first to give an answer after being silent for a while, which was a direct denial of the matter.

"I also agree with Director Xu's words. Not only is it difficult, but the key is that there is no reproducibility at all. Just like Cheng Long's action movies, it is absolutely impossible to change someone. It’s also established on the body.”

"To be honest, the story told in "John Wick" is not so novel, it is even an old-fashioned story. The reason why the filming has such a good effect is neither the director nor the plot. , but in the actor Fu Luo, the special fighting style in the movie, even if someone can copy it, it will not achieve the effect of Fu Luo's performance, so I think this is completely useless."

"Unless you can directly invite this kid to make a movie, but in a short time, I don't think Fu Luo will make a similar movie again, so Zhong Lei, I think it's best for you to stop this idea."

Different from Xu Ke's succinct and concise words, after Feng Xiaogang took over the topic, he immediately came up with a bunch of long speeches, explaining in detail with his own understanding.

Speaking of the movie "Uncle", Feng Xiaogang has also seen it. Now let's compare "John Wick" and you can clearly feel that the former already has a certain style of embryonic form. It has been fully formed, the kind of charm that ordinary people really can't learn, and the words that have form and spirit have completely changed their taste.

"Director Feng is right, this analysis is also in place, I quite agree."

During the period, Xu Ke, who had been nodding frequently while listening to Feng Xiaogang's words, once again expressed his opinion.

"Ha, I just said it casually, and I didn't really want to make such a movie. After all, the cost of nearly 5 million yuan is really not something that can be taken out casually. Okay, come on, two, we have a drink."

Seeing the reactions of Feng Xiaogang and Xu Ke, Xiao Lao Wang knew that this matter must be dead, so he quickly had a haha, and made the scene come back.

And he didn't lie, the cost plus promotional fee of "John Wick" is said to have reached 8000 million U.S. dollars. According to the current exchange rate of 1:7, isn't it 5.6 million yuan? There is really no company in China that dares to play so big.

Even if domestic costs are lower than those of Hollywood, no matter how low the estimate is, it will cost about 4 million RMB. It takes a bold person to spend 4 million to make an action movie.

And strictly speaking, "John Wick" is actually an authentic Hollywood movie, with the backing of the global market. If it is really a purely domestic movie, it is impossible to think about it based on the current Chinese movie market. I thought about it, so it's better to rest if you should rest.
