"This movie is a mainstream movie, and it also carries a moving story. In those years of constant gunfire, there were many unsung heroes..."
Smile.
Keep it classy.
Stay calm.
After a brief awkwardness and silence, Lu Yuan seemed not to have heard the blonde reporter's call and just answered her questions seriously. Of course, he answered in Chinese, which was then translated to Alice by the translator next to him.
He seems calm on the surface, but he is actually feeling very upset inside!
Er Gouzi Fan Club?
this……
Can't you change to a better name?
"Oh, Er Gouzi! We will always support you. I will definitely watch your movie, and I will definitely support all my American friends to watch it together!" Alice had no awareness that she had said anything wrong, and continued to call him Er Gouzi in a very friendly manner...
It's really cool and awesome to have your own fan group in the United States.
But……
This name really pulls the style to the lowest level, just like singing a country version of "How Beautiful a Girl with Braces Is" with a fat pig-like hairstyle on stage in such a high-end music opera house in Vienna...
That picture is so beautiful...
It's simply suffocating!
But what could Lu Yuan do? Would he just leave with a gloomy face?
Lu Yuan couldn't possibly do that.
After seeing this scene, other reporters clapped their hands fiercely. American Er Gouzi Fan Club? Wouldn’t there be more American Er Gouzi Fan Clubs when Lu Yuan sings in the future?
When we think about it this way, we suddenly have a different feeling...
"Mr. Lu, hello, I want to ask...what is your new movie? I believe everyone wants to know this question!"
"Yes, Mr. Lu, just tell us..."
"..." The reporters seemed to completely fail to understand Lu Yuan's previous repeated statements and continued to ask questions that were not related to "Assembly".
"My new movie will probably be a movie with a larger investment... It will most likely be a comedy. As for... No! Let me make it clear for the last time, this is the launch conference of "Assembly". I will not answer any content that is not related to "Assembly". Thank you, and please don't ask any other questions!" Lu Yuan was speechless. His smile gradually froze, and he finally shook his head in response.
He now suspected that these reporters were sent by the rival company to sabotage him.
Don’t you see how excited Wei Changjun looks now?
Can't you ask some questions about "Assembly"?
Are you so uninterested in this movie?
And I'm talking about my own movie at the launch conference of "Assembly". Isn't this openly helping you to sabotage it?
What is this!
"Mr. Lu, hello. I would like to ask, what is the original intention of this movie "Assembly"? Are you interested in the future of mainstream movies? Are you also planning to make mainstream movies in the future?"
"Yeah, is "Assembly" a serious theme movie? Will your next movie be a theme movie with a touch of humor?"
“…”
The reporters' questions finally turned to "Assembly", but it sounded like the subject was the same in a new bottle.
Lu Yuan only answered the questions about "Assembly" and did not answer any other questions.
Ten minutes was a short time, but Lu Yuan felt extremely exhausted. Every time he answered a question, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
He even began to feel that he had come to the launch conference of "Assembly" today to sabotage it!
Not only did they dismantle the stage of "Assembly", they even dismantled their own stage.
Lu Yuan felt that there was no doubt that the headlines of tomorrow would definitely include the words "Er Gouzi"...
How could Lu Yuan not be tired after doing this?
…
It's impossible to say that Wei Changjun was not embarrassed.
It was clearly his own "Assembly" press conference, but the reporters' questions were all about Lu Yuan's next movie.
Where do you put my identity as a director?
However, Wei Changjun also knew that the box office of mainstream movies like this in China was not very optimistic, and the box office of mainstream movies with war themes was even worse...
In the past two years, the only mainstream movie that has become a big hit is Lu Yuan's "The Wanderer", but the success of "The Wanderer" actually has too many unrepeatable factors, and it can even be said to be unique. As for the mainstream war movies in the past two years...
Basically, the current situation is that the investment is 10 million and the box office is 5 million. Even if the relevant departments strongly support and support it, they can only barely break even and make a small profit at most.
The current situation determines that these reporters and movie fans are not optimistic.
If journalists and fans are not optimistic, there will be no popularity at all.
Even if Lu Yuan was the screenwriter of this script, it would be useless...
What's more, I haven't made a film in about ten years. There are many doubts from the outside world saying that I am old and can't keep up with the times...
Many things are in a vicious cycle, and once deviations start to occur, things become even more troublesome.
Wei Changjun had no choice.
And who was the only explosive point in this launch conference?
Of course it’s Lu Yuan.
Even though this launch conference was so popular, more than half of the reporters came for Lu Yuan, so in this awkward situation, Lu Yuan ended up ruining the show even though he didn't want to...
…
Two hours passed.
The launch conference of "Assembly" finally ended successfully.
Judging from the interviews with the journalists, this press conference was definitely a success, but judging from the atmosphere, it had lost some of its ** flavor.
Yes, ever since Lu Yuan handed the microphone to someone else, the reporters' interest in asking questions has been somewhat reduced, and the questions they asked were also the same common questions over and over again, which sounded a bit old-fashioned and unremarkable...
This is quite embarrassing.
After Wei Changjun gave his final speech, he noticed that a small number of reporters in the back row had already sneaked away...
In short, an invisible feeling of helplessness surged into my heart.
Although he and everyone else thought that "Assembly" would be a hit, the reactions from these reporters were really mediocre.
While Wei Changjun was giving his speech, some reporters' cameras kept lingering on Lu Yuan, trying to find some more explosive information from him.
"Uncle Wei, I'm sorry... I shouldn't have come..."
"It's nothing... This is the current situation of mainstream movies. It's not your fault. It's a great honor for you to come to the launch conference. Unlike that bastard like me, he didn't even come. If it weren't for you, the launch conference of "Assembly" would definitely be a lot quieter." Wei Changjun smiled. In fact, he naturally couldn't blame Lu Yuan for stealing the limelight from the entire crew.
Before the movie achieved success, no one could do anything about the current situation. They could only make a good movie to prove that mainstream movies do well at the box office.
Others...
They can't do it either.
"In fact, he paid attention to your launch conference..."
"Concern?" Wei Changjun's expression eased slightly.
"Well, he called me two or three times just now... Oh, right, here he comes again... Director Wei, don't talk, I'll turn on the speaker..." Lu Yuan answered the phone.
"A Yuan... you've really ruined my old man's reputation... well done, but you can't do this. You should have promoted our new movie right away... and stolen all his limelight!"
Fatty Wei's gloating voice rang out.
“…”
“…”
Wei Changjun took a deep breath and his face turned pale with anger.
This bastard!
He immediately turned and left.
Lu Yuan shook his head, speechless for a moment, and followed Wei Changjun away.
This father and son...
Really...
Were we enemies in the previous life?
But no one noticed that there was a fat figure wearing a hat in the middle of the reporters who turned around and left the hall with the reporters. He came and left quietly.
It didn't attract anyone's attention.
Of course, no one knew that this figure was sitting there listening to Wei Changjun's words very seriously. He listened to every word Wei Changjun said very seriously...
Of course, do these matter?
None of this matters.
…
"Shocked! Lu Yuan actually has overseas fans, and his overseas fan club is actually..."
"Lu Yuan's new movie guess, the new movie may be a big investment!"
"Breaking news, Lu Yuan's new movie is expected to cost 70 million. 70 million is indeed a big investment!"
"Shocked, Lu Yuan's new movie is expected to have an investment of over 100 million yuan, and is preparing to create China's first science fiction movie?"
“…”
In the early hours of the morning, all the major headlines were filled with various versions of Lu Yuan’s interview videos and speculations.
Reporters have become more and more shameless, and their messy headlines are getting more and more outrageous. Lu Yuan's new movie is completely non-existent, but these unscrupulous reporters have turned the investment from 10 million into hundreds of millions...
Under the headlines, netizens were stunned after watching the video!
Yes!
Fans burst out laughing after seeing some of the names!
"666! Er Gouzi's fans from Japan sent congratulatory messages and reached an agreement with the American Er Gouzi Fan Club..."
"Awesome! My dear Er Gouzi, have your outrageous actions spread to the American people?"
"6 turns, Lu Yuan!"
"By the way, Lu Yuan, what exactly is your new movie? Can't you just tell us a little bit? We won't say anything if you advertise it openly..."
"Yeah! Er Gouzi, stop keeping us in suspense!"
"Lu Yuan's new movie, let me guess, I think his new movie is definitely a mainstream comedy! It could also be a war movie!"
“I think so too!”
"Isn't it a science fiction movie? Didn't Lu Yuan say that he was going to make a big investment? As we all know, big investments are all science fiction movies. I think science fiction and comedy are the best..."
"Wait, no one is discussing Assembly? This seems to be the press conference for Assembly?"
“…”
“…”
"To save our dignity, let's continue discussing Lu Yuan's new movie..."
Originally, today was the press conference for "Assembly", and logically, "Assembly" should have made the headlines.
However, all the discussions under the comments on major forums, Weibo, and headlines have nothing to do with "Assembly".
As usual, news about the great devil Lu Yuan came one after another, and it was so exciting...
In addition to teasing Lu Yuan, everyone else was speculating about Lu Yuan's new movie.
Yes!
Why?
In the June box office war, Chinese films were once again overwhelmed by Hollywood...
The movie "Go!," which was released in June and starred many comedy stars and cost nearly 40 million yuan, was left behind by Hollywood's "The Snow Queen" by more than half of its box office...
This time it was very humiliating.
Why humiliation?
Because the investment in "Snow Queen" was only two million US dollars.
and……
This is a semi-animated movie!
Yes!
Semi-animated movies actually beat Chinese movies.
This Chinese movie...
Unable to fight at all?
At this time...
Naturally, they thought of Lu Yuan again.
Yes.
What will be Lu Yuan’s next movie?
