"Ha ha!"

In Beverly Hills, Gong Xi, Li Xiuming and others also laughed when they heard what happened between Wu Jianye and Zhou Huimin in the coffee shop today.

"You are too bad. If that person does what you say, what should I do?" Li Xiuming nudged Wu Jianye's shoulder and said angrily.

Wu Jianye chuckled: "If he really does it, it can only show that he has a problem with his brain. We should still be magnanimous to comrades with a problem with their brains!"

"You are bad!" Gong Xi also joined the ranks of denunciation.

However, both Gong Xi and Li Xiuming's eyes revealed this trace of envy.

This incident became their episode in Los Angeles.

Gong Xi and Li Xiuming continued to be busy with their work, while Zhou Huimin accompanied Wu Jianye to start promoting "The World of Chu Xing".

It's like a little assistant.

However, Zhou Huimin enjoyed it. In the past, others served her, but this time she became the object of serving people, and it still feels very different.

Because the movie "The World of Chu Xing" is sold in North America, only Wu Jianye is alone, so Wu Jianye also accepted a lot of interviews in order to promote the movie.

The first was the ABC interview, but Wu Jianye didn't want to fly to New York again, so the ABC host had to fly to Los Angeles to conduct an exclusive interview with Wu Jianye, and then edited and played it after returning.

"Director Wu, it's been a long time since I saw you!"

The host who interviewed Wu Jianye was the ace host of ABC TV network, named Mary, and also a senior variety show host. The host style has always been humorous and humorous, and at the same time, it does not have the bad taste of some American variety shows.

Variety shows in North America sound very high-end, but they are not much different from ordinary variety shows, and some variety shows are even as bad as RB's.

Those Hollywood superstars who usually stand high on weekdays will also show their childish side in various variety shows.

When Wu Jianye promoted "Jurassic Park" before, he also participated in Mary's talk show.

"It's been almost a year!" Wu Jianye recalled the release time of "Jurassic Park" and said with a smile.

"Director Wu, you are really not a prolific director. Some directors have already made two films in one year!" Mary said with a smile.

"There is no way. If you want to ensure the quality of the movie, you must polish it well. There is an old saying in China, which is called slow work and careful work!" Wu Jianye replied with a smile.

"Then Director Wu, what do you mean to say that those highly productive film directors have no intentions in the films they made?" Mary grasped the key points very keenly, and dug a tunnel for Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye chuckled, and said, "Of course not. Everyone has their own work habits. My work habit is one film a year. And those highly productive directors are also very good directors. There are many directors that I personally admire very much!"

Wu Jianye is already familiar with dealing with such small situations.

"Director Wu, since the release of "Jurassic Park" last year, it has triggered a movie-watching frenzy around the world. We all know that this movie is based on your novel of the same name, and there are three in total. The audience is paying attention to the sequel series of this movie, can you tell us about the sequel plan of the movie "Jurassic Park"?"

Compared with "The World of Chu Xing", North American audiences actually don't care much about it. What they care about is the movie "Jurassic Park". This movie helped Hollywood open the door to the global movie market. Several major productions have been made, and they have seized the global market one after another.

But now Wu Jianye came to Hollywood with a Chinese movie, how could they care.

"The sequel of "Jurassic Park" is already in preparation, and it is estimated that the filming will officially start next year, and I think the time to meet you will not be too long!" Wu Jianye said.

"Will the sequel of "Jurassic Park" be directed by you as well?" Mary continued to ask.

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "No, actually Phantom Pictures has started to find a suitable director for this movie, but I didn't participate in the specific operation!"

Seeing that Mary still wanted to ask questions about "Jurassic Park", Wu Jianye cleverly brought the topic to the movie "The World of Chu Xing".

In this interview, the primary and secondary needs to be clearly distinguished.

In fact, when Mary came to interview Wu Jianye, she had already received an order, but the movie "Jurassic Park" is still the favorite of everyone, so subconsciously she still wants to ask more about "Jurassic Park" information.

"We noticed that on the poster of the movie "The World of Chu Xing", there is such a sentence written: If one day you find out that the world you live in is just a deception, what should you do? Then this movie Are you talking to us about the world everyone lives in?"

Although "Chu Xing's World" has been screened in China, Xiangjiang, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, the habitual pride of North America made them pay no attention to the content of this movie, even Mary.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It can be said to be yes or no, this is a movie that is different from all the current movie genres, I believe everyone can see their own shadow in this movie!"

In fact, the questions Mary asked were similar to those mentioned in the interviews Wu Jianye received in China, and Wu Jianye answered them one by one.

However, there are still some different problems here, and of course they are more acute.

"Director Wu, we have noticed that although the movie "The World of Chu Xing" was screened in the commercial theaters of Fanhai Cinemas, the number of theaters and the number of screens are not comparable to "Jurassic Park." "The movie is comparable, even the movie "Ghost Love" is not comparable, does this mean that Phantom Pictures is not very optimistic about this movie?"

Wu Jianye smiled slightly and said, "I think you should ask Mr. Murphy from Phantom Films or Mr. Johnson from Oceanwide Cinemas about this."

Wu Jianye did not answer this question directly. After all, such a question is easily magnified by these media.

Mary nodded, "According to the information we have received, the movie "The World of Chu Xing" has been released in China and some Asian regions. Can you tell us about the release of this movie in these regions?"

Although Mary didn't know that Wu Jianye was the real boss behind ABC, but before interviewing Wu Jianye, she also received an arrangement from the TV station, hoping that she could elevate the film when interviewing Wu Jianye.

However, Mary still doesn't quite understand, how much box office can such a film that has not premiered in North America get in?
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "As of today, the movie "The World of Chu Xing" has achieved a box office of more than 500 million U.S. dollars in China, and at the same time, the box office in the entire Asian region has also exceeded 4000 million U.S. dollars. box office!"

After the data came out, Mary looked at Wu Jianye in surprise, and her first thought was that this was unrealistic.

"Director Wu, isn't that a little exaggerated? Everyone knows what the film market in China is like. Such a movie, which has not yet been released in North America, has already earned nearly [-] million US dollars at the global box office?"

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "The news you know may be behind. Now that China is implementing film reforms, it has also introduced Xiangjiang's Fengge Cinema Line into the China Cinema Market. At this time, Fengge Cinema Line has already The layout of the entire Asia has been completed, and this data is well-documented, you can go to the newspapers in Huaxia or Xiangjiang to read it, the current Huaxia market is different from the market you know!"

"I think, I will definitely find a way to find it!" Mary said subconsciously.

Then he asked: "Then Director Wu, can you disclose the investment of this movie?"

From this question, it can also be seen that North America does not pay enough attention to Chinese movies. If Wu Jianye is shooting a movie in Hollywood, the North American media will definitely investigate this movie clearly, but now But it was different. Even though Wu Jianye had already achieved success in North America, the films he shot in China still did not attract enough attention from these media.

"1000 million!" Wu Jianye replied.

"With an investment of 1000 million US dollars, you can get nearly [-] million US dollars at the box office. Director Wu, I have to say that you are really an excellent film director!" Mary sighed sincerely.

Wu Jianye smiled: "I'm talking about 1000 million RMB, which is less than 200 million dollars!"

Mary: "."

For a while, Cultivation Mary, the ace talk show host, didn't know how to answer the conversation.

With an investment of 200 million US dollars, in exchange for a box office of 500 million US dollars, such a movie can no longer be simply described as a success.

Wu Jianye did not mention the promotional expenses of the film
The most important thing is where the film will be released, and now it is about to land in the European and American markets, even if the film is not acclimatized in Europe and the United States.

But relying on Wu Jianye's golden signature alone is enough to bring the movie a box office of 3-4 million US dollars.

If that's the case, then there's a good chance the movie will hit around $1.3 million worldwide.
"Director Wu, you have to know that all these data can be found!" Mary's good psychological quality quickly calmed him down, but he still had some doubts about Wu Jianye's data.

Wu Jianye smiled: "Of course, I welcome everyone to check these data at any time!"

In the following time, Mary asked Wu Jianye a lot about the movie "The World of Chu Xing". Maybe it was the domestic box office and Asian box office, which made Mary also have a feeling for the movie "The World of Chu Xing". Very keen interest.

The two-hour interview was quickly completed.

After the interview, Mary shook hands with Wu Jianye.

"Director Wu, if those statistics are true, I sincerely hope that you can return to Hollywood to make movies. Only in this way can you fully display your talent!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Thank you, but in my opinion, whether it is filmed in Huaxia or Hollywood, they are actually shooting movies. I hope that everyone can learn more about Huaxia through my movies. Some."

For Wu Jianye's teasing, Mary's face didn't change much, and she smiled and shook hands with Wu Jianye again to say goodbye.

When Wu Jianye walked out of the recording studio, Zhou Huimin handed him a thermos and said, "I finally know why you are willing to go back to China to shoot movies!"

After Wu Jianye took a sip of water, he asked, "Why?"

"Although these people are all laughing, they always think that they are superior in their bones. I don't like that attitude of looking down, and I'm sure you don't like it either!"

Wu Jianye nodded and said: "There is probably this reason. Although Americans clamor for equality every day, in fact, they really regard themselves as superior to others in their bones."

Wu Jianye didn't discuss this topic in depth with Zhou Huimin, mainly because he was scared by 404.

River crab monsters are everywhere.
Wu Jianye was interviewed by Phantom Media. After the interview, Wu Jianye did not leave Phantom Media directly, but took Zhou Huimin to visit one of the largest media groups in the world.

At this time, the building of Phantom Media has been completed. The companies under Phantom Media, except ABC TV Network, HBO, ESPN and other TV stations, have moved their headquarters here. Hera Agency, Phantom Sports, Marvel Studios.
Zhou Huimin was also very curious.

Although Fengge Media is also very big and has many companies, but at that time in Xiangjiang, next to Zhou Huimin, it was a place I saw every day, so I didn't have much curiosity.

But Phantom Media is different. This is one of the largest media groups in the world. Its name is more impressive than Fengge Media, but in fact the gap between the two is quite big.

The basic business of Fengge Media is ATV, Fengge Films and Fengge Cinemas, especially Fengge Cinemas. Their value is not in the theaters, but in their land.

Now with the rise of the Asian economy, land prices are also changing day by day. Just these commercial lands are enough to double the invisible assets of Fengge Cinemas.

But Phantom Media is different. They are located in North America. Whether Wu Jianye wants to admit it or not, North America is now the center of the world.

However, Wu Jianye was more satisfied. These industries were all his own, and he couldn't say who was good and who was bad.

Zhou Huimin spent the longest time in Marvel Pictures, which is also related to her love of reading comics.

In the evening, Wu Jianye took Zhou Huimin to watch a Lakers game. The Lakers were going through their own labor pains during this period. The retirement of Magic Johnson had a great impact on the Lakers.

Coupled with the fact that their opponent was the Bulls in full swing, the defeat was a matter of course!
