When Yue Guan heard from Mo Xiangwan that "Journey to Thailand" was announced to be withdrawn, he waved his arms excitedly.
Seeing how excited Yue Guan was, Mo Xiangwan was surprised: "Why do you care so much about a small-budget comedy? Isn't Feng Xiaogang's "1942" withdrawn?"
"Comedies have produced miracles since ancient times. The prototype of Feng Xiaogang's "1942" is a tragedy. Feng Xiaogang's film must also be a tragedy. It is not a cause for concern. How many of the current audiences are willing to go to the cinema to cry? On the contrary, "The Man Is Embarrassed" "Journey to Thailand", relying on the reputation accumulated by the previous "Journey to Thailand", it is likely to become a dark horse."
"But "Journey to Thailand" was only directed and acted by Xu Zheng. It was his first time as a director and his reputation was average. How much of a threat could it be?" Mo Xiangwan didn't understand.
Don't talk about her, no one will realize that Xu Zheng can soar after "Embarrassing in Thailand".
Mainland Mesozoic male stars, such as Deng Dynasty leader Chen Kun and others, have been popular for more than ten years, and the box office has exploded and the audience can accept it.
The sudden ascension of Xu Zheng and Wu Jing was a typical case of good luck. They had been popular before and their national popularity was not low, but before their ascension, they were unable to get any acting roles. It is conceivable that at that time situation.
In this case, the story was successfully turned around by directing and acting. The storyline was so magical that it could only be staged in reality. But in a novel, readers would abandon the book in a matter of minutes and say that they did not respect the reader's intelligence.
"Sister Xiang Wan, no one can say what will happen in the future. But now that "Journey to Thailand" has been announced to be withdrawn, there is no need to consider his threat."
"There is also Feng Xiaogang." Mo Xiangwan reminded: "Feng Xiaogang is known as the box office king and the top director in our country. Going head-to-head with him is really not a wise choice."
"King of the box office?" Yue Guan smiled: "I just like to step on this so-called king."
The main thing is that I know that the box office of "1942" was average.
Otherwise, Yue Guan would not have specially chosen this Lunar New Year stall.
"Embarrassed in Thailand" was able to successfully create a box office miracle. A large part of the reason is because "1942" was so cruel, which instead pushed the audience to "Embarrassed in Thailand".
The one who enjoys this treatment now will probably become "The Demon Cult Leader".
This is very delicious.
Mo Xiangwan didn't know what Yue Guan was thinking. She just felt that Yue Guan was a little bloated: "Even if you don't like Feng Xiaogang's new movie because of the subject matter, isn't Wu Baige still staring at you? "The Taiping Wheel" The investment is more than in "The Legend of the Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Leader", with hundreds of millions poured into it, a piece of shit can be turned into a flower."
"Sister Xiang Wan, your metaphor is wrong. Even if a piece of shit looks like a flower, it will still stink, so there is nothing to worry about. But has Wu Baige's "Tai Ping Wheel" been announced? How can I still Didn’t receive the message?”
"I haven't received any news either. It's a bit strange." Mo Xiangwan was a little confused: "Logically speaking, "The Taiping Wheel" is also divided into two parts. The upper part should be in post-production and ready for release. Wu Baige announced it early I want to compete with you in the ring, why hasn’t there been any movement yet?”
Not only them, the entire industry is waiting for Wu Baige's news.
After all, the harsh words have been spoken out before.
If he just said it but didn't do it, Wu Baige's face would have been pressed to the ground and rubbed.
However, in fact, Wu Baige's face was indeed being pressed to the ground and rubbed.
The two people who rubbed him were Li Xun and Gan Wei, the proprietress of Lux Pictures.
Both women were trying to persuade him of the same thing:
"Director Wu, the post-production of "The Taiping Wheel" has not been completed yet, and it is impossible to release it during the Lunar New Year this year."
Wu Baige was angry: "I know very well about my own movie. "The Wheel" was shot in two parts. The first part has been produced and can be released to the public."
"Director Wu, I am using this reason to save you face. Why don't you know how to go down the steps?" Li Xun sighed lightly.
Wu Baige: "...Are you worried that I can't defeat Yue Guan?"
Li Xun is very calm.
She has never been a retard.
It's just that there are two great talents, Wolong and Phoenix, around him, so he often makes wrong choices.
But she still has basic judgment skills.
"Director Wu, there is no need for us to take risks. The popularity of martial arts restrictions has already risen. "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword" has just been aired, and now it is still being replayed by major TV stations. The right time, place and people are all over Yueguan. "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword" is Many experts predict that the box office of "The Master of the Demon Cult" will exceed 500 million. Why should a movie worth 500 million go against it?"
Li Xun's idea was simple: "Stay away from it, let it make money, and we make our own. You can't be angry when doing business, Director Wu, you should be more sensible."
Li Xun is very sensible.
But Wu Baige couldn't reason rationally: "I've already let out all my words. Now if I'm being cowarded and acting like a coward, where can I put my face?"
Li Xun said nothing.
Lux boss lady Gan Wei said: "Then don't put it aside."
Wu Baige looked at Gan Wei in shock.
Gan Wei's expression was very calm, which could even be called indifferent: "Director Wu, you have to understand one thing. We Lexi and Swift invested in "Tai Ping Wheel" to make money, not to make you look good."
Wu Baige's face turned red when he heard Gan Wei speak like this.
However, Gan Wei hadn't finished speaking yet.
"In addition, the biggest shame is being defeated by Yue Guan in the head-to-head PK. The box office of "Chi Lian" and "Guo Xiang" have exceeded 300 million, and "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" is currently on the air. You are really sure that "Taiping Wheel" "Can the box office of "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Cult Master" surpass that of "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Cult Leader"?"
Wu Baige muttered a few words but did not speak.
To be honest, he wasn't sure.
The box office results of "Chi Lian" and "Guo Xiang" also surprised him.
The atmosphere was a little tense and awkward. Li Xun jumped out to smooth things over: "Director Wu, let's take a step back. "The Legend of the Demon Sect" occupies the right time and place, and it is not the same subject as "The Taiping Wheel". Even if "Taiping Wheel" wins, it doesn't mean much.
Isn't there a new movie in Yueguan called "Pure Heart·Chasing Dreams of Taiping Wheel"? As you can tell from the name, that new movie is specifically aimed at "Tai Ping Wheel". The quality of such a shoddy movie cannot be very good. And there is no IP blessing.
Director Wu, if you still can't let go of your grudge against Yue Guan, then wait until "Pure Heart·Building Dreams" is released before letting "Tai Ping Wheel" be released, and defeat Yue Guan head-on in the same subject. This is the way to go. Real revenge, how about that? "
Wu Baige gritted his teeth: "Okay, just listen to Mr. Li."
