Chapter 10 Launch Conference
Jiang Huateng is the second generation of directors, but he does not rely on his parents. It has been fifteen years since he first directed in 1995.
In 2009, he won the Magnolia Award for Best Director, and officially entered the ranks of first-line directors.
His new film has attracted much attention from the very beginning.
Many people couldn't understand why he wanted to make such a small budget, small cast, and small fresh literary film.
It's a pity that Jiang Huateng's characteristic is that he doesn't give reporters face.
Unless he wants to tell reporters, he will not be interviewed if he is killed.
Today is the film's grand opening ceremony. The leading actors and production team were all present, and several representatives from the producer also came.
Lin Dong was introduced as the producer and met several leading actors.
Zhang Wen, a man, and Bai He, a woman, also kept their due reserve in front of the reporters, and they didn't care much about a young man like Lin Dong.
Lin Dong also had no intention of flattering him.
He just thought that Zhang Wen looked a bit like his teacher Huang Sanshi.
Just as Europeans and Americans are almost the same in the eyes of Asians, in fact Lin Dong is not so clear about the people around him.
Invisibly added an attribute of mild face blindness to himself.
Lin Dong sat next to actor Wei Zhongwan.
Originally, Liu Mingyi wanted him to sit next to a beautiful actress named Zhang Zixuan, but he refused.
The woman at the foot of the mountain is a tiger, you must run away when you see it.
Wei Zhongwan is a national first-class actor.
It belongs to one of the few veteran actors that Lin Dong knows.
Lin Dong just watched his movie San Mao Joining the Army the day before yesterday, and he admired his acting skills very much.
Compared with the image in the movie, he is much older now.
Hello, Teacher Wei. Lin Dong stretched out his hand.
Hello! Wei Zhongwan didn't put on airs either.
He didn't have much pretensions, not to mention that Liu Mingyi's producer had already mentioned that he was one of the producers.
I have seen your work, and I admire it very much. I will definitely ask for advice when I have the opportunity.
Lin Dong is studying and studying acting recently, saying that asking for advice is really not polite.
He didn't know how to beat around the bush, and he didn't know if his request would be too abrupt.
Many foreign devils are like this.
Lin Dong is now a domestic skin, but more of his character belongs to Kleist.
Wei Zhongwan was a little confused, but nodded politely.
OK.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Dong immediately took out his mobile phone.
Are you sweeping me, or am I sweeping you?
for real?
Lin Dong scanned Wei Zhongwan's WeChat account in a daze.
Fortunately, he can keep up with the times, at least there is such a thing as WeChat.
I'm from Nortel, and I'm studying acting now. Lin Dong at least knew how to explain.
Wei Zhongwan was stunned.
But he began to worry about whether Lin Dong wanted to be a teacher.
He didn't know Lin Dong, he didn't know this person's character, so he absolutely couldn't accept the words of apprenticeship.
The old-school people value inheritance more.
But the world of wizards is not popular, and Lin Dong has no such idea.
Of course, if he got acquainted in the Muggle world and then watched the TV series Romance of the Three Kingdoms, maybe he would really have the idea of apprenticeship.
In the role of Sima Yi, there is no one after Wei Lao.
The two who became friends had a very happy chat, which made Zhang Jianze next to him a little jealous.
Which level is my junior from Nortel? I'm 87.
Brother, I'm in level 09.
Lin Dong had also met several senior brothers, and immediately he was in awe of this upright middle-aged man.
Unexpectedly, a supporting role is also our Nortel senior brother.
At the moment, another one is added to WeChat friends.
In fact, Zhang Jianze and Jiang Huateng have collaborated many times, and they usually don't refuse to take on small supporting roles, so it's completely normal to join them.
Aren't you the producer?
Since he was a junior, Zhang Jianze asked directly what was on his mind.
That's right, Zhen Xiaolong is a 07-level senior. I happened to have some pocket money, so I invested in movies. In fact, I invested very little.
pocket money?
Then your pocket money is not ordinary.
There are only three capitalists in this movie, the other two are perfect and the other is new, they are all big names in the industry.
Junior brother has a unique vision, this investment will definitely make a lot of money.
Oh, it's hard to say!
Speak out are sad tears.
Lin Dong was cheated by Many Days of Broken Love.
But the people I met today are pretty nice.
They chatted happily here, and the reporter over there was almost ready.
Jiang Huateng announced that the opening ceremony was just beginning.
After a few twists and turns, it was the reporter's turn to ask questions, first about the director, screenwriter and the film itself, then about the leading role and the actors present today.
Lin Dong didn't expect that the topic would come to him while he was talking.
A reporter with Solang on the microphone asked, Mr. Lin Dong, what role did you play in the play?
Lin Dong had a playing card in front of him, so the reporter's question was very specific.
He froze for a moment, shook his head and said, I don't act in this, I'm the producer.
What a waste if he looks so good-looking and doesn't act.
Although he didn't say it directly, the eyes of the reporters expressed their meaning in this way.
Later, the problem became more and more acute.
Of course it wasn't aimed at Lin Dong.
The producer usually contributes money and effort, who knows what background this guy has.
Mainly aimed at box office issues.
Director Jiang, what do you think of the box office of this movie?
It is so direct, which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.
Fortunately, Jiang Huateng had anticipated this problem, and said calmly and calmly: I am very confident in the box office. From the script to the actors, we have done our best.
Of course, this kind of cliché cannot make the reporter of Tomato.com reconciled.
Someone once estimated that your show will only have a box office of two million. Do you think this is possible?
Jiang Huateng's complexion suddenly became ugly.
Zhen Xiaolong didn't have a seat on the press stage, so he was tight behind the scenes.
How did these complaints reach the ears of reporters?
I don't think so... Jiang Huateng handled the accident carefully.
It's just that he was angry in his heart, and the polite smile on his face couldn't hold back.
Two million... I bet the box office of this show will be at least two hundred million!
I can't tell what kind of emotion it was. The moment of grievance made Lin Dong angry, and almost burst into foul language.
There was silence.
It is a bit exaggerated to hear a needle drop, but many people actually heard the heavy breathing of their colleagues.
ACCIDENT?
disaster?
Accident, or prearranged?
Resisting the urge to turn his head away, Jiang Huateng smiled and began to applaud.
The people on the release stage didn't know why, but they still applauded one after another, but it was sparse and procrastinated, which sounded quite embarrassing.
That's right! The production director Liu Mingyi also understood and began to smooth things over, he said with a smile: Our crew is full of confidence from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, even if it is 200 million, even if there is less than one ticket.
That's almost a joke.
However, if it is so easy to be fooled, the reporter is not a reporter.
Mr. Lin Dong, as one of the producers, why are you so confident in the movie?
I... What could Lin Dong say.
Said that I actually already know that the box office of this movie alone has 350 million, not counting various derivative income such as network platform authorization.
People will think he is a fool.
Neuropathy.
When the words come true in the future, he will not be worshiped by everyone.
It will only be taken away as a guinea pig.
The reporters were reluctant, and the production team didn't know how to rescue Lin Dong.
