Chapter 295 Box Office, I hope to have 500 million
There is another film called Ip Man about to start shooting, and this time it involves a kung fu film, and the guidance is Ning Hao, who is already quite famous. Although everyone knows that Ning Hao will certainly not always guide this kind of comedy. It is the best way to take the route of orthodox films, but I didn't expect that the style would change. It's so big that there is still some criticism, but compared with Liu Yu's doubts, he is basically more reassuring. After all, there are two movies with very good box office in a row.
Although Wang Zhengfei has had two successful films, and there is no precedent for failure in the script, in fact, it is still not too reassuring. The reason is very simple, that is, every time Wang Zhengfei's new script is different. Each screenwriter has his own type of movies that he is good at and is not good at. He can write everything well, but Wang Zhengfei is very good at several fields. Everyone thinks that he can't succeed all the time, but he hopes that Wang Zhengfei can create miracles and become an all-round screenwriter.
With such a contradictory psychology, he watched Wang Zhengfei start the shooting of Snow Leopard.
At the press conference, Wang Zhengfei appeared in uniform military uniforms with everyone in the play. Whether it was [***], the Eighth Route Army, or the actors of the Japanese Army, they all appeared in a military uniform, which looked extremely clean and neat. As for the dragon sets of those star artists, Wang Zhengfei did not let them appear at this time. On the one hand, to have a little mystery. If you want to know what they are like in the play, you have to go to the movies by yourself. On the other hand, they have very few scenes, and basically one shot is suddenly caught. Basically, their shooting is not likely to stipulate when they will enter the crew. They can only enter when they have a schedule. The crew still needs to cooperate with them at this time. With so many big names, it is impossible for Wang Zhengfei to use them one by one.
The start-up press conference of "Snow Leopard" in uniform is more like a military conference.
Wang Zhengfei himself appeared in the shape of a Kuomintang officer. As for the reason, he thought this dress was more handsome. Although the protagonist would choose to join [***] in the end, Wang Zhengfei still chose this Kuomintang military uniform. At that time, [***] was not any military uniform. One's uniform is good, not to mention any aesthetic requirements.
The straight military uniform immediately made Wang Zhengfei's temperament a lot more heroic. In fact, Wang Zhengfei is definitely the kind of person who can fight. He can easily win for more than ten people, but I don't know if his body is like this. In short, Wang Zhengfei's body is no matter how he eats and how he exercises, he has always been It's all like this. It seems to be weak, so the direct disclosure of Wang Zhengfei's information when saving people is still very surprised to many people. Many people's first impression of Wang Zhengfei will never be a very capable impression.
Wang Zhengfei himself is very satisfied with this handsome and straight military uniform. It is a great attraction for him to wear a military uniform. After all, his small dream is to become a soldier. Although it was not completed in the end, it is not bad to be able to fulfill his dream of becoming a soldier in the movie. Although before In Han Tianzi 2, Wang Zhengfei wore a military uniform, but after all, it was ancient, and there was no such feeling as a modern military uniform.
As soon as Wang Zhengfei appeared, he suddenly attracted the attraction of countless media. These come for Wang Zhengfei every day. If you don't shoot Wang Zhengfei, will you shoot those supporting roles?
Among these supporting roles, some are newcomers, and the larger part is the kind of long-term actors and long-term supporting roles that are a little familiar, but not very familiar.
It took a lot of effort for Wang Zhengfei to find them this time. Although they are not big names, it is also because they are not big brands that it is more difficult to find them, because their image is also more blurred, and it is the most inconvenient to contact them.
For these roles, Wang Zhengfei auditioned for a lot of people. Now Wang Zhengfei naturally has an identity and status. He is no longer the kind of person with an ID card as before, but he has no identity. Basically, except for some big names, there are not many people who need him to work in person.
Basically, the protagonist in "Snow Leopard" is of course only Zhou Weiguo, played by Wang Zhengfei, but there are many supporting roles, all kinds of supporting roles. Although they have different origins and surnames, it should be said that they are different, but before the national crisis, there was no other choice. In the end, they donated to the country. The body.
Whether it is the officers and soldiers of the first [***] or the later officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army Special Forces, basically according to Wang Zhengfei, they all died sadly. In the first half of the story, the battalion led by Wang Zhengfei has all died, and at the end of the Taoist story, that is, When Japan surrendered in 1945, few members of the Eighth Route Army Special Forces died.
These characters basically rarely have a good ending. It's not that Wang Zhengfei deliberately arranged the tragic result and did not give a happy ending, but that Wang Zhengfei wanted to convey such a message to the audience through such an ending arrangement. In such an era, many people rose up to resist. It was precisely because of his resistance that he finally With the happy life now, thinking about those who have passed away, people now should cherish the life more.
For these truths, Wang Zhengfei doesn't want to be too straightforward. He just wants to subtly say everything he wants to say. The essence of the movie is like this, isn't he? It affects those who watch movies in his own way. There is no need to say everything so straightforward and red fruit.
There was a long gun and short gun in front of Wang Zhengfei, directly in front of Wang Zhengfei.
"Wang Zhengfei, can you tell me how you have the idea of shooting such a theme?" A reporter asked.
"It has always been an idea to shoot a movie with such a theme. To have a happy life like today, I want to thank those predecessors who rebelled decades ago, and being a soldier has always been one of my ideals!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile, not to mention the political risk of shooting this theme. Even if it has passed the review now, there may be a surname that can be stopped at any time. This kind of thing has not happened, and most importantly, Wang Zhengfei wants to make this kind of film basically, so don't expect any Japanese box office. Maybe for China, this is a just act of fighting aggression, but for Japan, after all, it is a very glorious history. Japan's box office is basically gone, which is equivalent to breaking its own arm in Asia's box office.
However, Wang Zhengfei did not consider the box office of Japan at that time. Snow Leopard's script concept was more than a year ago. At that time, although there was also a certain box office appeal in Japan, it was not as exaggerated as the box office of "Qin Shi Ming Yue". He didn't think that one day the box office could account for about half of his movie box office, and it was not ordinary, or hundreds of millions. Can you give up if you give up?
But it's useless to say anything now. After all, he has decided to shoot. Besides, this kind of thing is not so regrettable. In life, money is very important, but you can't take any dignity for money. What's more, he is not short of money. For the sake of the box office, he even gives up his conscience. That's not Wang Zhengfei's surname, and he can't do such a thing.
"How does this movie compare with "Qin Shi Ming Yue"!" Reporters still have to ask this question. Although the two films are of different types and different aspects, after all, they are all works of the same person. It's strange if you don't make a comparison.
"I think there is basically nothing comparable between the two. "Qin Shi Mingyue" is a martial arts film, which may have a little fantasy, but "Snow Leopard" is a time-traveling military film. The types of the two sides are completely different, whether it is the type, the audience, or all aspects. None of them have comparable surnames. I don't think it's appropriate to put them together!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"Do you think "Snow Leopard" can surpass "Qin Shi Ming Yue" at the box office?"
"Well, this..." Wang Zhengfei was going to blurt out that the audience of "Snow Leopard" was not as much as "Qin Shi Ming Yue", but later I thought that it was not equivalent to admitting in disguise that although "Snow Leopard" had not been released, it was almost not as good as "Qin Shi Ming Yue"!
At that time, he can guess what kind of news will be on the front page of the newspaper. Wang Zhengfei will admit that "Snow Leopard" is not as good as "Qin Shi Ming Yue" and so on.
"I think the two movies are not of the same type of movie at all, and there is no way to compare them at all. This time, Snow Leopard is a red movie, a military film, and the audience is different, so there is no way to say which box office is better now!" Wang Zhengfei thought for a moment and said.
Of course, Wang Zhengfei knows that there may be no way to compare with "Qin Shi Mingyue" at the box office of "Snow Leopard", but it's not annoying. At least he can't admit defeat on this side.
"Can you predict the box office of Snow Leopard?" Another reporter asked.
"The box office, the box office of Snow Leopard is hard to say, but I hope the box office in Asia can exceed 500 million!" Wang Zhengfei thought for a moment and gave an ideal number he hoped for. Although it seemed to be more than half less than "Qin Shi Ming Yue", it was not surprising that he gave up the Japanese box office after all.
