In a war of words in the media, both parties may pay attention to their words and try not to say harsh words.
But when he got to Zhang Yuanjun, he wouldn't be polite.
Now he finally understood why Chen Kaige lost his temper with Liu Yan. Some things were really unbearable sometimes.
It's like, I cooked a pot of food with sincerity and was about to take it out of the pot and serve it to the customers. You suddenly jumped out and told the customers that this restaurant is not good, the chef is not good, the hygiene is not good, and the ingredients are not good.
Are you going to die?
Of course everyone is free to comment, whether they like it or not.
Since you expressed your dislike, don't blame me for refuting.
"I don't know what this professor teaches," Zhang Yuanjun responded to a reporter's question during an interview the next day in Jinling. "He said he was a film scholar, but I haven't seen him publish anything. A recent article seemed like It must have been posted 10 years ago. I just want to ask this teacher, you said you are a film and television worker, but how long has it been since you went to the front line of the crew? How many years ago was the last time you touched the camera and looked at the monitor? "
"So you don't agree with this professor's point of view?" The reporter hoped that he would speak frankly.
"Of course I don't agree," Zhang Yuanjun complied with the reporter's wish. "My grades in the four years of college are not bad. My teachers are very responsible. I don't need him to teach me what advanced aesthetics is."
"So what are your expectations for the box office of "Fame"?"
In the past, Zhang Yuanjun would have said such nonsense as "Leave it to the audience", but this time it was different:
"I wish there were 50 million."
Not to mention the reporters, even Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhu Yawen and others who came to promote it were shocked!
The shooting cost of "Famous" was just over 2 million, and the total cost of post-production and publicity was a little over 4 million, which was less than "Crazy Stone" - the press release of "The Stone" deliberately did not mention the nearly 2 million post-production and distribution costs. In terms of publicity and distribution expenses, the actual cost of "Stone" should be between 5 million and 6 million.
"Crazy Stone"'s current box office of 20 million is already a miracle. Zhang Yuanjun's big mouth is 50 million!
It will make people laugh!
Even if you blow 20 million.
It was too late for Tian Zhuangzhuang to change the situation, because after being stunned by the 50 million, when the reporter asked him what his estimated box office was, Zhang Yuanjun's answer was still 50 million.
"Yes, it's 50 million, you can log out."
It is a consistent practice of the creators to boast about the box office before the release. The year before last, Zhang Weiping boasted that "House of Flying Daggers" would have a box office of over 300 million. Last year, he said that "A Thousand Miles Alone" would create the highest box office for a literary film.
But Zhang Yuanjun didn’t have Zhang Yimou in his hands.
Tian Zhuangzhuang has never proven himself at the box office before, how dare you shout 50 million!
Big words are big words, but Zhang Yuanjun's boast has indeed played a very good publicity role for "Famous".
So that night, two headlines appeared on the entertainment page:
"Zhang Yuanjun: I don't need him to teach me what advanced aesthetics is."
"The sword points to 50 million! Can "Famous" really make a name for itself?"
50000000?
Everyone knows that Zhang Yuanjun is bragging for publicity.
"No, I really think our film can earn over 50 million." Zhang Yuanjun defended himself at the dinner table, "The summer movie environment is good, "The Stone" can earn 20 million, why can't I bite off a piece of meat?"
"Then you should brag less. Even if you brag for 30 million, my dear, if you offer 50 million, Teacher Tian and I can't stop you even if we want to." Lu Fangsheng said.
"What are you trying to stop?" Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile, "If you believe it, you will naturally believe it. If you don't believe it, just think that I am bragging for publicity. Do they still want to drag me to target shooting before the 50 million yuan is reached?" Zhang Yuanjun was thinking too much. .
"If you really wanted to do publicity, you should have reported it then. It would be great if you reported over 100 million." Teacher Lian Tian began to tease him.
"The cost was 4 million, and the box office was over 100 million. I was bragging, not crazy. If I shouted 100 million, people would think I was sick." Zhang Yuanjun laughed.
"If you shout 50 million, others will almost think you are sick."
"The disease is not as serious as 100 million, and there are still cures." Zhang Yuanjun said while eating, and he couldn't help but laugh.
In order to achieve the boasted 50 million yuan, Tian Zhuangzhuang led a group of leading actors to run crazy road shows. Fortunately, Zhang Yuanjun's popularity is now at its peak. Every time he goes to a stop, there will be countless fans watching and cheering.
When promoting at Changsha station, Zhang Yuanjun even held a lottery on the spot.
"How about we do this?" Zhang Yuanjun held a ball in his hand. "I turn my back to everyone and throw the ball out. Whoever catches it will be invited to watch "Famous". Each winner can carry 2 Watch the movie together with family members or friends, that is to say, if one person wins, we will reimburse 3 movie tickets, okay? Friends from the media are also included. If I catch the ball, I will reimburse 3 movie tickets."
"Okay!!" The whole audience was excited.
As expected, Zhang Yuanjun turned his back to the audience: "Get ready, I'll throw it away. 1 2 3!"
Zhang Yuanjun turned around and saw that a boy had grabbed the ball. He stood up and waved to the stage.
"Congratulations to this boy. Come on, our staff will hand the microphone to him. He seems to have something to say." The host guided.
The boy took the microphone and said, "I am Yuanjun's fan and I particularly like your songs."
"Thank you, thank you." Zhang Yuanjun said.
"I won a movie ticket today, I will definitely go see it."
"Thank you." Zhang Yuanjun looked at it and asked, "You have three tickets, how do you plan to divide them? Do you want to take your parents to watch them together?"
"I'm not a local, I work in Changsha, and my parents are not here."
"Oh. Then who are you going to invite to watch it with you?"
"I plan to invite my two brothers from my dormitory in college to watch it together."
"Okay." Zhang Yuanjun asked again, "Is the girl sitting next to you your girlfriend?"
"yes."
"Aren't you going to watch it with your girlfriend?" Zhang Yuanjun was so mean.
"Hahahaha!" The whole audience burst into laughter.
The boy sat down awkwardly and his girlfriend next to him punched him.
The staff went up to take the microphone and ball, and left the boy's contact information, saying that someone would contact him after the event. He would go to see a movie at that time, and any theater within Changsha could give him the call. He cashed the ticket.
Later in the event, Zhang Yuanjun gave away 2 more winning spots, and also sang "Those Years" at the request of the audience - this song is particularly popular during the graduation season.
"I have a concert in Beijing at the end of the year, remember to come and see it." Before the end, he didn't forget to promote his concert.
"Definitely come!" A girl in the audience shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Come on, why are you here in Changsha? Just watch a movie in a few days." Zhang Yuanjun joked. Today's theme is still "Famous".
"I hope everyone will support our "Famous"! See you on August 3rd!" The main creator bowed and the event ended.
