Chapter 778 Pig Teammates!
Mei Lanfang Grand Theater, No. 32, Pinganli West Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, where the disaster love blockbuster "Taiping Wheel: Floating Life in Troubled Times" with an investment of [-] million yuan held its premiere ceremony here.

As the second high-profile blockbuster in the Lunar New Year, "Taiping Wheel", which gathers popular stars from China, Japan and South Korea, has naturally become a hot spot in the film market.

"Detective Chinatown 2" has completely heated up the market, with 1.56 million on the first day, 6.31 million in the first week, and 1.53 million in the two working days of the second week, with a box office of 7.84 million in seven days of release, even more popular than the National Day movie. "Heart Flower Road Fang" was even higher in the same period.

But even if "Detective Chinatown 2" became popular, "Taiping Wheel" also maintained a relatively high degree of attention.

After all, Wu Yusen's fame lies here. Although "Red Cliff" had a mediocre reputation back then, its box office was not bad.

And the combination of Zhang Ziyi, Wang Xiaoming, Jin Chengwu, Song Huiqiao, Qin Hairu, and Tong Dawei is not bad at all.

Since "Red Cliff", Wu Yusen has not released a movie for five years. For a director, no movie is released, just like an actor who does not appear on the big screen or TV, and is easily forgotten by the audience.

After several years of silence, Wu Yusen reappeared in the public eye this time, full of confidence in his heart.

Especially seeing the theater hall full of seats, densely packed heads, nearly a hundred reporters, and senior executives from major companies in the circle all present, made Wu Yusen even more confident.

Ordinary directors, ordinary movies, can the premiere have such a grand event?

At the premiere ceremony, Wu Yusen vigorously introduced his film.

""Peace Wheel" is an epic disaster blockbuster, but also an unforgettable romantic love, but it is not only that, the film reflects the rise and fall and changes of history by portraying the emotions of the characters, seeing the big from the small
There was a lot of chatter, and the actors also expressed their thoughts, boasting about themselves.

Jin Chengwu: When I read the script, my eyes turned red, and I cried while watching it.

Wang Xiaoming: After filming the blasting scene, there was sand all over the floor when taking a bath

Generally speaking, how touching the plot is, how awesome the special effects are, and how hard the filming is.

Then there is the media link, a blockbuster movie, in the highly competitive schedule, the movie box office is naturally indispensable.

"Hello, Director Wu, "Taiping Wheel" is the first film you directed after "Red Cliff", may I ask whether it is because of the failure of "Red Cliff" that you have not made a new film, is it because you are worried about failure at the box office? "

A reporter asked a question without hesitation.
Someone found fault, and Wu Yusen felt a little upset, but he still smiled and said, ""The Wheel of Peace" is a standard blockbuster, and it takes a lot of time to prepare. I am not only responsible for the investors' money, but also for the audience. Just shoot a movie in any number of months and a year, and it's over, and every step of the way is to strive for perfection."

""Detective Chinatown 2" has nearly 2 million box office in seven days. How much box office does Director Wu think "Taiping Wheel" can get under the impact of "Detective Chinatown [-]"?"

""The Wheel of Peace" invested more than 15 million yuan. I spent nearly a year crafting the script, striving for perfection in sets, costumes, and props. Several actors also contributed their most wonderful performances. I think such a The first "Taiping Wheel" will satisfy the audience, our expectation is [-] billion, I think the efforts of our entire crew in two to three years are worth [-] billion at the box office."

15 billion!
Wu Yusen's opening was a figure that was almost unattainable in ordinary movies, and it also caught the eyes of the reporters on the scene.

For a movie, the movie itself and the box office are definitely the most concerned. Any big director, as long as the box office hits the street, will inevitably attract a lot of scolding and criticism.

"Hello, Director Wu, is the 15 billion box office of one movie or the combined box office of the two movies?"

"Of course it's the box office hit!" Wu Yusen said confidently, ""The Wheel of Peace" was well received at the Cannes Film Festival before, and the copyrights of many countries have been sold one after another,"

His minimum goal is 15 billion, [-] billion is the ultimate goal, and he will always win the Lunar New Year box office champion!
As for 20 billion, breaking Tang An's record, Wu Yusen is no longer so arrogant after the failure of "Red Cliff", thinking that with his name as a Hollywood director, he can easily win a super high box office.

To put it bluntly, I have a B number in my heart. After all, there are four blockbuster movies released in one month during the Lunar New Year holiday, which will inevitably benefit the box office.

But Tang An is not here, and now the biggest opponent is Tang An's "Detective Chinatown 2".

It's fine if you can't beat Tang An, but facing Tang An's movies, Wu Yusen is confident that he will win.

Even if the previous film broke [-] billion, and now it exceeds [-] million in seven days, Wu Yusen is still full of confidence in his movie, which is more exciting and deeper than "Titanic".

On the stage, Wu Yusen responded to the reporters' questions one after another with high spirits, but the investors and publishers in the audience were not as confident as Wu Yusen.

Wu Yusen is Xiao Ma's contracted director, and "Taiping Wheel" is also Xiao Ma's main cast. With Xiao Ma's current situation, it simply cannot afford to fail.

After Li Ming passed away, his wife Jin Yan alone managed this crumbling company. Although she also hoped that the movie would be a big hit, as Wu Yusen said, it would sell for 15 billion at the box office. That would undoubtedly be a life-saving soul for Xiao Ma medicine.

However, the siege of three blockbuster films, especially "Detective Chinatown 2", coupled with the fact that big directors have rushed to the street one after another in the past few years, and the rapid rise of new directors, made those famous directors far less popular than before. Jin Yan did not have much confidence.

However, fortunately, the guarantee has been sold, at least there will be no loss.

Zhang Zhao won this series with a guarantee of 15 million. The more he surpassed, the more shares he would get in the follow-up, but he didn't expect to get [-] billion for the first part.

At the beginning of the guarantee, I thought it would be good to have more than 5 million, but after a year or two, Zhao Wei and Deng Chao's films sold [-] million, Wu Jing's films sold [-] million, and Han Han sold all of them. After reaching [-] million, his goal was gradually raised, and he set it at the threshold of [-] billion.

At any rate, he is also a famous director. He has made so many classic movies, so he is famous there.

As for 15 billion, Zhang Zhao has never thought about it. If the first film has a box office of 15 billion and has a good reputation, then it is not impossible for the second film to get [-] billion.

Wang Zhongjun and Kang Pei also had the same idea. It would be considered a success if they broke one billion. It would be too difficult for three opponents of the same level.

Otherwise, Kang Pei wouldn't have studied it for half a month just because of a schedule. If he really had such confidence, he wouldn't need to go through such trouble, and he was afraid of bumping into other movies.

Wu Yusen would never have imagined that none of his teammates had confidence in him.

If I knew what they were thinking, I would have secretly scolded "pig teammate" in my heart.
