Chapter 364 Shocking News! Wu Yusen Suppresses Mainland Filmmakers!

2008, December 1

Huayi Brothers booked the entire hotel and held a grand premiere for If You Are the One.

Wu Yuan, as an invited guest, also attended the premiere.

It must be said that Feng Xiaogang and Huayi's connections are indeed strong. Half of the entertainment industry was invited to attend the premiere.

Many "Feng girls" appeared on the red carpet to compete for beauty.

Sexy actress Shu Qi played conservatively and appeared in a black sleeveless dress.

Xu Ruoxuan generously showed off her cleavage. The clothes covering her waist were cut open to reveal her fair skin, which was quite eye-catching.

Olympic champion Tian Liang also attended the premiere with his wife Ye Yiqian. The two held hands and whispered from time to time. Their intimacy made others envious.

Although top-tier directors and actors like Jiang Wen, Zhang Yimou, Liu Dehua, and Gong Li did not come, all the second-tier and third-tier stars and the hottest stars came to support Feng Xiaogang.

And Wu Yuan, the last director to arrive, added fuel to the premiere.

In the afternoon, the film's creators had already held a press conference and accepted various interviews from the media.

The combination of Feng Xiaogang and Ge Daye has always been a guarantee of box office success, and Ge Daye's comedy performance has never disappointed the audience, but now people are talking more about whether Ge Daye can transform.

After all, "The Banquet", which they tried to transform, was criticized after it was released that year.

At the press conference, Ge Daye also took the initiative to mention the controversial "The Banquet", "I think my performance in "The Banquet" is not bad, but I heard from others that the audience laughed as soon as they saw me, and I still don't understand why."

Facts have proved that it is indeed difficult for Ge Daye to transform. When he and Feng Xiaogang returned to the comedy theme, they were able to kill gods and Buddhas immediately.

In the evening, after most of the guests had walked the red carpet, Wu Yuan, as the finale guest, stepped onto the red carpet under the expectation of all media on the scene.

"Director Wu!"

"Director Wu, look here!"

"Director Wu, do you have plans for your new movie?"

"Director Wu, I heard that "A Man Called Li Wen Decides to Die" will participate in the competition for the Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars next year. Is that true?"

"Director Wu, there are rumors that Wu Baige colluded with the judges not to vote for you when you participated in Cannes. Is this true?"

Huh? !

Wu Yuan, who was used to being surrounded by reporters and skillfully ignoring their questions, paused, turned his head curiously, and looked at the last reporter who asked a question.

This is a reporter from Qilu Entertainment News.

"Where did you get this gossip?" He asked curiously.

"I saw it on the Internet. Indian actress Randita Das, who served as a judge at the 58th Cannes International Film Festival, talked about your new film winning the Venice Golden Lion Award during an interview some time ago. She mentioned Wu Baige, who was also a judge at the time, and urged other judges not to vote for "Love" that year.

"Is this news true?"

Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you should ask other judges at that Cannes instead of asking me. After all, I don't know anything about judging. "

After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly into the hotel.

Hey, although I don't know why this Indian actress suddenly brought up this after everything was over, Wu Yuan was very happy to see it.

Wu Baige was very proud recently because "Red Cliff (Part 1)" surpassed "Gravity" in the box office in Japan. He breathed a sigh of relief and was in a very good mood.

If he was in a good mood, Wu Yuan would not be in a good mood.

Now that such a scandal has been exposed to disgust Wu Baige, Wu Yuan wants to open champagne.

】

"Hey, Director Wu, you're here."

After entering the backstage, Feng Xiaogang personally greeted Wu Yuan and talked with him shoulder to shoulder: "Director Wu, this time you have to take a good look at my new film and give me some suggestions."

Wu Yuan nodded without comment, and complimented in a good mood: "Director Feng, you have returned to the comedy field you are good at this time. I believe you will definitely bring a wonderful movie to the audience."

"I think 300 million box office should not be a problem. ”

If You Are the One should be regarded as the most successful IP in Feng Xiaogang’s hands. Since the first one, each one has been a big hit, and each one has been full of golden lines, becoming a benchmark for Chinese comedy films.

Before Wu Yuan woke up from his dream, he heard that Feng Xiaogang had picked up this IP again and was going to make a new sequel, which shows how strong the vitality of this IP is.

Wu Yuan’s 300 million box office is not nonsense, but conservative.

But Feng Xiaogang doesn’t know that he is very nervous now. After the success of Assembly, he returned to the field of comedy films, and the outside world was very pessimistic and did not understand.

After all, comedy is not a good thing. Drama is considered the lowest genre in both TV drama and film.

It is difficult for successful directors in the comedy field to switch to other genres.

There is Stephen Chow in the past and Xu Zheng in the recent past. They all wanted to switch after their success in comedy, but their transformation was not successful.

If a director succeeds in other genres, he will not easily go back to make comedy.

It is really rare for a director like Feng Xiaogang who has successfully switched from comedy to come back to make comedy.

What makes him more anxious is that if he fails in making comedy, it will be a joke.

Therefore, "If You Are the One" is, for Feng Xiaogang, an all-or-nothing, or success-or-death work.

Now with Wu Yuan's support and encouragement, Feng Xiaogang's old face burst into laughter: "300 million!"

"Director Wu, you really dare to say that I didn't have such high expectations."

"I would be happy to have a box office of 250 million like "Assembly Number". After all, the cost of this film is much lower than that of "Assembly Number"."

Wu Yuan smiled and shook his head: "It won't stop, it will definitely stop."

"Comedies are still the largest genre in the domestic market. As Director Feng, as the first person to make comedy films in the mainland, if you return to comedy films again, the market will definitely be very enthusiastic. 300 million is just a starting point."

The mainland film market has been developed by Wu Yuan's several blockbusters, especially this year's "Gravity", which attracted countless people to watch movies in theaters for the first time. After accepting and adapting to "watching movies", the mainland box office market is definitely Time and space are even more expanded than the original.

"If You Are the One" was able to earn a box office of 320 million in its original time and space. In the current market environment that has been expanded by Wu Yuan's "Gravity", it may be able to earn a box office of 350 million.

"Haha, let me borrow your good words from Director Wu."

Feng Xiaogang was so happy that he couldn't find Bei. He patted Wu Yuan's back hard, pulled him and walked in: "Come on, come on, don't you want to get to know Lao Ge? Let me introduce you to him."

"Lao Ge's acting skills are really nothing to say. He is not much worse than Li Xuejian. It's just that he has been making comedies with me for many years, so my acting skills are limited. This is all my fault."

The two walked into the screening room arm in arm and started socializing at tonight's premiere.

And just when "If You Are the One" was holding its grand premiere, a piece of news from the outside suddenly detonated the mainland entertainment industry.
