Chapter 220: Keep digging holes
Everyone who worked with Cheng Shuo, including Wu Yusen who was not very fond of mainland actors, was full of praise for him.
If he is not talented, then who are we?
Cheng Shuo's self-deprecating reply stopped the audience from talking, but they didn't want to stop there.
"Excuse me, Cheng Shuo, how did you compete with Chen Kun and win the role of Hu Wan in "Let the Bullets Fly"?"
The previous questions were very sharp, but this time they dug a hole for him.
Whenever Cheng Shuo gives a reason, it will be misinterpreted by the media as an insinuation of Chen Kun.
Yuan Hong was just about to lift the microphone to signal the media not to mention topics that had nothing to do with the movie, but Cheng Shuo was already chuckling: "Maybe it's because Teacher Chen Kun is too handsome. Director Jiang Wen said he doesn't like to use actors who are too handsome."
Hearing him say this, the audience immediately started talking.
Chen Kun is handsome, isn't Cheng Shuo handsome?
Cheng Shuo was a bit dishonest. He had always been straightforward in previous interviews, but this time he showed a tactful side and covered up the question in an understatement.
"Wen Zhang was interviewed at the screening and laughed at himself for losing the role of Tang Monk because of his appearance. What is your response to this?"
This problem dug deeper, and it was like driving a bayonet into Cheng Shuo's face.
Everyone on the stage looked unhappy. Cai Yinong in the audience even stood up and took note of the media represented by this reporter.
Compared with the dissatisfaction of others, Cheng Shuo remained very calm. He shook his head and laughed at himself: "If this is really the case, then thank Mr. Chen Kun for not participating in the casting, otherwise there would be no me."
Smiles rose on everyone's faces. Cheng Shuo was stern in front of the media, but they knew that Cheng Shuo was very proficient in the art of language in private.
Seeing that his mood did not fluctuate, the creative team also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If he gets angry now, the heat will be there, but he won't be able to get off the stage in the future.
"So, what are your expectations for the box office of this film?"
Li Guoli took the opportunity to grab the microphone and said, "Let me answer this question. Cheng Shuo is a supporting character in this film. He came up with some ideas during the creative process, which are definitely not as clear as ours."
He nodded secretly, reminding the media that Cheng Shuo does not represent the movie, and whether it failed at the box office or not, they cannot be blamed on him.
Furthermore, this is the press conference of "Xiu Chun Knife", so let's ask other questions on another occasion.
"In 2011, the number of screens in the mainland increased by more than 3,000, gradually approaching the mark of over 10,000. In this kind of market, the film industry will definitely usher in a period of rapid development. Similarly, so far, the box office in the mainland has
Last year, the growth rate reached 25% in the same period, and an additional quarter of the audience went to the theater, and the box office competition will also get better."
Li Guoli's speech was as steady as ever, and he was always used to leaving a way out for himself.
"So what you're saying is that if it competes on the same stage, the box office performance of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" will not be higher than that of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate"? How about compared to the low-budget "33 Days of Love"?"
"We can't draw a conclusion prematurely." Lu Yang took over, "After all, we are just a group of explorers, still unknown newcomers in the film industry. We want to show our unique side and express our ideas while pleasing the audience.
, we will also make changes based on the audience’s opinions.”
"That's right." Li Guoli nodded in agreement, "Sugarman is a company that is constantly learning and improving."
Seeing that they had finished expressing their thoughts, Yuan Hong quickly interjected, "Thank you everyone for your participation. Our test screening has come to an end today. I hope everyone can support the movie after it is released."
...
The media was inconsistent, but the response from the audience was very good.
The fan photo session lasted for a long time until the event ended and it was already dark.
Sugar Man also had a role in Yanjing, and with a wave of his hand, Cai Yinong dragged all the main creators to have fun.
But at the dinner table, everyone's expressions were a bit unpleasant.
As soon as they tried their hand at the big screen, they were faced with a lot of opposition. At this time, they also began to reflect on whether it was a good choice to hit the New Year's release.
Lin Gengxin is a bit heartless, Cheng Shuo is a supporting role, and he is a marginal character among marginal characters.
Ding Baiying doesn't have many scenes, and the role he plays as Ding Chong is even less. Whether he succeeds or fails, it's all a show-off.
Glancing at Cheng Shuo, he gave a thumbs up: "Fourth brother, your aura is so strong today. If the media had asked me that, I would have exploded long ago."
After he finished speaking, the others couldn't help but nodded.
Lin Geng was young and had never experienced such a scene.
But even if they are experienced people like them, faced with this kind of frequent digging problem, even if they don't break out, they will inevitably show dissatisfaction.
Ke Chengshuo still had a calm face, and even talked and laughed when answering questions, as if he didn't care at all.
Cai Yinong praised: "Everyone should learn from Cheng Shuo."
Liu Shi bowed his hands and asked in a low voice: "Cheng Shuo, are you really not angry?"
Cheng Shuo put down his chopsticks and said, "How can I not be angry? When I heard Zhang, he jumped and laughed at me."
"Then you are still like this?"
"Then what can I do?" Cheng Shuo sighed, "Get angry so that I can make headlines for them? Start a fight?"
Hu Ge patted Cheng Shuo on the back and comforted him: "It's okay. As an actor, you will always be questioned. Your doubts come quite late."
Cheng Shuo has been surrounded by doubts since his debut, but he behaves in a relatively low-key manner, and fans all make jokes so he won't offend passers-by.
At this time, public opinion was in full swing, largely due to the fueling of certain people.
"The movie hasn't been released yet. It won't be too late to wait until the box office results come out."
Cheng Shuo nodded silently, as if he had heard this sentence of relief in his heart, but secretly he had another plan.
"33 Days After Love" relied on the element of low cost to be invincible, just like his previous "Camera Don't Stop", which had a box office of over 100 million, and its results have already overcome many doubts.
What's more, this film has rigorous logic, unique style, and good reputation.
Not to mention "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", with its classic IP and Li Lianjie's golden signature, it would be a loss if it doesn't achieve 500 million.
As for our own "Xiuchundao", although it has been promoted by Sugar Man, it is not even a little bit worse than "Dragon Flying Swords" in terms of popularity and investment.
Lu Yang understands this truth best, which is why he is so resistant to "Xiu Chun Dao" entering the New Year release.
Cheng Shuo heard Lu Yang's sigh, chuckled and comforted: "It's okay, we are not bad, it is easy to break 100 million yuan. From now on, you will also be a member of the 100 million yuan box office club. Think carefully about what to do at the celebration banquet
Let’s speak.”
Lin Gengxin raised her hand, "Sister K, if the box office exceeds 100 million, will you give me a red envelope?"
Cai Yinong rolled his eyes, "Our movie has a loss of over 100 million, and we need 160 million to make it back."
Hearing this, Lin Gengxin immediately shrank his neck.
Cai Yinong looked at Cheng Shuo, feeling quite sad for him.
Although he is a supporting role, he still has to bear all the pressure.
The words I wanted to say were held in my chest, but they turned into a sigh, "Let's see how the response is after it is released."
During the meal, everyone was eating with little interest.
