131 The grand opening ceremony
"What kind of story do you think Charlotte's troubles would be?"
"Youth nostalgic story, I actually don't really believe that Wei Xun can still play nostalgic movies."
"And I can't see any funny points from Wei Xun, and I'm a little worried about whether he can act in comedy."
"But the actress Wei Xun chose, named Zeng Li, looks quite festive."
4.10, sunny day.
The temperature in Beijing finally began to completely recover. On this day, Wei Xun's new movie "Charlotte Troubles" held a launch conference at Beijing City Cinema.
Unlike the coldness of "No Questions" and "Chinese Partners" when it started last year, the opening ceremony of "Charlotte's Troubles" was a huge momentum.
At around 8 o'clock in the morning, before Wei Xun and others arrived, nearly a hundred media reporters were waiting anxiously here.
There are also reporters who use their own private news account to broadcast the launch conference live.
On the news platform, many netizens also came to join in the fun. It was obvious that everyone disliked Wei Xun for continuing to shoot nostalgic films, but in fact they were still curious about this new film.
At nine o'clock, Wei Xun and others' cars were parked outside the crew one after another.
The reporters began to prepare for the filming.
I saw Wei Xun, who was wearing a gray jacket and a baseball cap, coming out of the car very low-key. The one who got off with him was Zeng Li, the heroine of "Charlotte's Troubles".
The producer of this movie is still Zou Min. Yes, Wei Xun's rich red envelope successfully made Zou Min choose to cooperate with him for the second time.
In addition to several important roles, there are also three heavyweight singers, which attracted the attention of reporters.
That is the queen Lin Zi, the king Guo Chaoyang, and the classic pop singer Qi Chen who promised to make a guest appearance in Wei Xun's movie.
The appearance of these three people made some reporters exclaim, and everyone was more sure of a problem. Wei Xun's new movie must continue to be nostalgic.
And there are no elements, it is more suitable for nostalgic than classic songs.
A group of film creators centered on Wei Xun and sat down on the interview stand set up by the crew. The reporters couldn't wait to start asking questions.
"Wei Xun, because "Charlotte's Troubles" and "Chinese Partners" have a theme that people online say you are dependent on your parents' capital, what do you say about this?"
"You seem to have never been involved in comedy movies since your debut. Is it because some people say you are Bai Qianchi Second, so you deliberately chose this subject?"
"Did you decide to rely on your parents and then create a movie similar to "Chinese Partners" because you opened a new company and urgently needed funds?"
At today's press conference, it seems that some people are really involved in making trouble, and the questions asked are sharper than the other.
Mao Bin frowned secretly next to him, but there was nothing he could do.
He can't stop letting these reporters speak.
The last film "Chinese Partners" earned 750 million yuan, making the film giant led by Dynasty Entertainment directly target Wei Xun. This time, "Charlotte's Troubles" started filming, how could they not do anything?
What's more, comedy action movies have always been Bai Qianchi's private area.
Wei Xun's entry into the comedy film market will definitely trigger the sensitive nerves of Dynasty Entertainment once again.
Faced with the reporters' difficulties, Wei Xun said jokingly: "Today is the opening ceremony of my new movie. A good day. Even if you don't expect me to order good, you don't have to make things so difficult for me. So I will refuse to answer any questions that are not optimistic about me."
This move uses retreat as a step forward and refuses to respond, which makes the reporters feel helpless.
But today, there is no need to be so clinging to the new movie.
So a reporter changed his question: "Wei Xun, I see that the investment cost of your film is only 20 million, which is smaller than the previous two films. Moreover, there are no big-name stars to support the market except you. Will it seem a bit shabby and not in line with your current status?"
"No big-name stars? Shrimp?"
Wei Xun pulled the topic to the three singers next to him and Zeng Li, and said with a smile: "I'm not happy to say that, and you see more than a hundred reporters here today. The news is still hot searches on "Charlotte's Troubles", so popular."
The reporters took the opportunity to interview the other stars, and finally brought the topic back to Wei Xun: "You once worked with Zou Min in "No Questions" and now you hired her as your producer to tell the public that you did not have any conflicts before?"
Wei Xun smiled and looked at Zou Min next to him and said, "Then you have to ask about producer Zou."
Zou Min also smiled and said, "Since I chose to continue to cooperate, of course, it is because the cooperation was very pleasant before and there were not too many twists and turns."
In short, these reporters tried their best to make trouble, but Wei Xun was defeated by a huge effort.
In the end, the reporters were helpless: "Director Wei, you don't give me this explosive point. How can we promote your new drama when we go back? In this way, let's tell the truth, how much do you expect from "Charlotte's Troubles" box office?"
Wei Xun was silent for a moment and said frankly: "Of course I have higher expectations than "Chinese Partners".
The reporter continued to ask: "How high?"
Wei Xun smiled and said, "Set a small goal and be twice as high."
Double the height, that is 1.5 billion!
Still a little hell of a target!
Wow!
As soon as these words came out, the reporters finally began to feel energetic.
Not only the reporters, including Zeng Li, Mao Bin and others, also stared at the scene in surprise. Although the new drama was indeed going to find a hot spot to hype, is this a bit too much?
A small-cost comedy film with no big-name stars besides Wei Xun, it is incredible to surpass "Chinese Partners". As a result, Wei Xun dares to say that the box office can reach 1.5 billion?
Apart from last year's "Blue Man", even imported Western films have not received more than 1.5 billion yuan in China.
Sure enough, because of Wei Xun's amazing speech, after this launch conference, the entire network was discussing the box office issues of "Charlotte's Troubles".
Although it is not to mock Wei Xun, many people say that this is impossible. It is nothing more than Wei Xun talking, and directors like to do this to attract attention.
It has to be admitted that because of this small target of 1.5 billion, Wei Xun's launch conference for "Charlotte Troubles" is very popular, and the entire network is pushing Wei Xun's "small target".
Of course, there are many capitals who deliberately make trouble behind the scenes, obviously praising and killing them with bad intentions.
However, no one cares about this. Everyone is just bragging about the simple character Wei Xun.
"Charlotte's Troubles can reach 1.5 billion. I will eat three jin of Xiang on live broadcast, and I will eat Weixun yourself!"
Under Wei Xun's news, a comment was topped and received more than 100,000 likes.
But as for whether this person can successfully cheat food and drink, it will be decided during the National Day holiday.
After the launch conference, Wei Xun joined the crew of "Charlotte Troubles" and officially started.
Chapter completed!
