Who are you calling powerful?
Chapter 574 It’s time to punch Cheng Long and kick Li Lianjie
Guangdong Province, a university campus, the crew of "Wushuang" came here for a road show.
In the past two years of pre-production promotion for the movie, Wei Yang has become more and more interested in visiting university campuses.
There are many reasons, including saving capital, expanding the film's influence among young people, having a good atmosphere at the scene, making communication more comfortable, etc. The biggest key is good publicity effect.
College students are the main force in box office contribution and Internet access. By mastering this position, publicity can get twice the result with half the effort.
The only people who came to the university today were Wei Yang, Yu Nan and two supporting characters.
In order to improve the efficiency of publicity, the crew of "Wushuang" was divided into several teams. Wei Yang led one team, Fan Xiaopang led another team, and Wang Zhiwen and director Gao Qunshu led another team.
Tang Yan is busy with the promotion of "A Good Marriage", so there are no reports for the time being. She will also be present at the roadshow for the film's release later. If they are still divided into groups, she will also lead a team.
After the host interviewed the main creator and entered the free question period, a female college student stood up and asked Wei Yang a question.
"Excuse me, why did you choose Teacher Wang Zhiwen and Fan... to collaborate on "Wushuang"?"
"To correct you, it's the director and producer's right to choose people. I'm just an actor."
"Shh-"
The audience booed. If you, Boss Wei, were just an actor, then there would be no big shot in the entertainment industry.
Boss Wei had no choice but to admit defeat: "Well, as a producer and producer, I have the right to recommend actors. Teacher Wang and Sister Bingbing were indeed recommended by me."
"Shh-"
After making a few jokes, Wei Yang said seriously: "Sister Bingbing, needless to say, we have collaborated many times and are not only familiar with each other but also have a tacit understanding, so after the script appeared such a complex character with a white moonlight aura, the first The first thing that comes to mind is her.”
"This is my first time working with Mr. Wang Zhiwen, but I have been friends with him for a long time. I have watched many of his works repeatedly. Some of the characters have characteristics similar to those in the movie..."
Another female student stood up. She was more concerned with gossip: ""Famous", "Living Together" and "Wushuang", this is already the third film collaboration with Fan... and it occupies most of your career. She Is she the most perfect heroine in your mind?"
As soon as this topic came up, the audience cheered. Girls were not alone. Compared to serious movie questions, everyone preferred this exciting melon-eating.
Wei Yang is very calm about this, mainly because he has experienced a lot. Anyone who interviews him can't help but mutter a few words. There is no way, the topic is high + he can't help but be curious.
"To be precise, this should be the fourth film collaboration between her and me. We also collaborated once when we guest-starred in "The Founding of the Party"."
Wei Yang's reply aroused even greater cheers and cheers from the audience. After the noise became quieter, he continued to answer.
"The question of whether she is the most perfect heroine is so offensive, but I can say that she is one of the best heroines I have ever worked with."
"Shh-"
This kind of answer was obviously too stupid, and the audience was not satisfied. Boss Wei didn't take it seriously and smiled.
Just kidding, that’s cool!
Just for you to watch the fun, I have to jump into the minefield. Why?
Another male classmate stood up and said: "I watched the movie trailer, and there were clips introducing related technologies. I would like to ask, can the counterfeiting technology in the movie be replicated in reality?"
Wei Yang was stunned and looked at this man warily: "What do you want to do?"
The male classmate was a little embarrassed: "I'm just curious."
"It's better not to be curious about some things. It's everyone's responsibility to abide by the rules and laws."
Wei Yang gave a few words of advice and asked Patriarch Bodhi to come online: "Host, please help me leave my contact information later. If trouble is found in the future, please help me testify so as not to implicate our movie..."
It's always fun to interact with young people who are still in the ivory tower.
They know how to respect, are often very polite, and will applaud you for your sincerity, but will not overly condemn you for being slippery and thieves.
At the same time, they also despise authority and will not be timid because of your reputation. Everyone can get along relatively equally, so both parties are warm and casual.
Sometimes their questions are so sharp that they leave people speechless, and sometimes their questions are so innocent that people can't help but smile.
Wei Yang would always be very happy after a road show at the university, and this time was no exception. Before leaving, he even asked the driver to buy some special dishes from the canteen.
This is also a little trick he learned when he participated in the "Detective Chinatown" road show last time.
He found that every university cafeteria often has a few special food or fairy stalls, which are highly praised by the whole school. The taste is not amazing, but most of them are above the standard. It can be said to be a good break from the heavy road show work. .
So now Wei Yang has developed a habit. Every time he goes to a college, if time allows, he will ask about the canteen or the surrounding food.
When the road show ends, buy one to take away. You can not only enjoy the food, but also have the surprise and fun of visiting the store and opening the blind box.
This hobby was known by many fans and students because he had posted on Weibo several times. They all recommended delicious food from their own schools and tempted Boss Wei to come to the road show, which allowed Wei Yang to get a lot of information.
It was the same this time. After the road show just now, Wei Yang didn't mention it, and the students took the initiative to tell him which stall had delicious food.
Boss Wei followed his kindness and asked the driver to buy several large portions, and Yu Nan and others also benefited from it.
Instead of returning to the hotel, he took the car directly to another city. Wei Yang unpacked it in the car.
A portion of barbecued pork rice, half a roast goose, sweet and sour pork with pineapple and spicy chicken, two assorted stuffed pies, and a portion of fried rice.
It can be seen that there are more staple foods. After all, it is a university, and affordability and fullness are always the themes. Wei Yang has become accustomed to the high frequency of this kind of food that combines vegetables and rice.
Taking out his mobile phone to take a photo, Wei Yang finished his meal before posting on Weibo, @the school, thanking his classmates for their enthusiastic recommendation, and commenting on the taste.
The roast goose is the best, followed by the spicy chicken. The pie tastes very refreshing, and I will buy it again next time.
At this time, many students have just participated in the roadshow and are actively sharing Reuters and photos online. Seeing Wei Yang’s Weibo, they are even more happy.
Some people claim that the spicy chicken is recommended by themselves; some are happy to agree with Boss Wei, and some show off pictures of Wei Yang’s favorite roast goose and other foods, describing how delicious they are to make passers-by envious; and some people feel sorry for other foods that were not selected...
Although the content is varied, the impression of Boss Wei is surprisingly good, as if he has made everyone become his own people through food.
"You are still cunning. Once this Weibo is posted, it will win the hearts of the people. Students will surely contribute to your box office." Fan Xiaopang, who also saw the Weibo, called Wei Yang and analyzed the deep meaning of Boss Wei's move. "If you don't know how to chat, don't chat. I am exchanging sincerity for sincerity." Boss Wei was a little embarrassed. Although he did have such an idea, he shouldn't say it so bluntly. "Yes, yes, yes." Fan Xiaopang didn't argue with him, but mentioned another thing: "Have you read Weibo? The release date of "Legend of the Gods" has been moved up." "No need to read Weibo. As soon as they made a move, someone notified me. I knew it before the official announcement two days ago." "Is it directed at you?" "Eighty percent of it is." Wei Yang sneered slightly. The whole entertainment industry knew that "Legend of the Gods" was a movie made by the Xiang family to promote their son. He had a bad relationship with the Xiang family because of the Stephen Chow incident. This time, "Legend of the Gods" was suddenly moved from the original early August to July 9, only one day away from "Wushuang". It seems that they are here with bad intentions. "Will it affect us?"
Fan Xiaopang's words were slightly worried. There was no way. The lineup of this drama was too strong. It could be said to be the most luxurious in this summer's season.
Jet Li, who had semi-retired in the past few years and only filmed the Hollywood "The Expendables" series, returned to the stage.
Huang Xiaoming and his wife, Wen Zhang, and Xu Qing helped with all their strength. Many Hong Kong industry stalwarts also came, including Principal Gu, Tony Leung, Jordan Chan, and Andy On. What's more amazing is that Zhang Yu-nu, who had "reunited" with Xiang Tai, was brought in to play the role of Daji.
Such a luxurious lineup also requires huge investment. It is said that the cost is about 500 million. Even if there is water, the remaining amount must not be a small amount.
In addition, the influence of the Conferred God IP is not bad. In the past two years, the box office data of the Journey to the West IP in the Hong Kong circle has been good. The box office of "Journey to the West: The Great Conquest in Heaven" and "Journey to the West: The Three Strikes of the White Bone Demon" has exceeded 1 billion.
With the same mythological theme + luxurious lineup, this "Legend of the Conferred God" is naturally favored by people.
If it wasn't for the long release date, it might replace Cheng Long's "The Escape Plan" and become the biggest rival of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Under all the halos, Fan Xiaopang was inevitably affected. She still had confidence in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and Wei Yang, but was afraid of diverting the box office.
"This group of people is really disgusting. Aren't they afraid of both sides losing?"
"Both sides losing?"
Wei Yang couldn't help laughing when he heard this. There were more than one person who had the same idea as Fan Xiaopang, and the publicity team had already begun to formulate relevant plans for him.
But only Boss Wei, after hearing this news, ignored it very calmly.
Others don't know, but he doesn't know this "Legend of the Conferred Gods", which can be called a big bad movie that can be recorded in the history of Chinese films.
Let's just say that this movie almost ruined the [Conferred Gods IP] when it came out.
"Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" has a weird name, and it doesn't even dare to be related to Conferred Gods.
Fortunately, Wuershan was lucky and got a good time. The quality of "Fengshen" is acceptable, otherwise he would be dragged down by this movie.
Looking at Boss Wei's confidence, Fan Xiaopang felt that he underestimated the enemy.
"That's a 500 million production."
"Forget it, if half of it can be considered as the conscience of these people."
Many actors either took friendship prices or guest appearances for free, saving a lot of pay. The costumes and props were also very strange, and the special effects of important investments were surprisingly bad.
Wei Yang sometimes strongly suspected that this drama was intended to promote his son, or there was some deal behind it.
It was really bad, and the subsequent online movies were better than this one...
Fan Xiaopang was still muttering: "Then there are so many big names like Li Lianjie, Huang Xiaoming, Wen Zhang, and Principal Gu."
"How many of them can carry the box office?"
Wei Yang said this a little arrogantly, but it also made Fan Xiaopang speechless.
Indeed, although these people are not small, there are really not many who can carry the box office.
Principal Gu has not yet grown into a pillar of the Hong Kong circle. Even later, his box office appeal is not very high.
The highest box office is only a few billion, and there is only one movie with a box office of more than 1 billion. The main audience is crime-themed enthusiasts and Hong Kong film fans. Relying on the high production and good personal brand popularity, he can be regarded as one of the first echelon of movie male stars.
Principal Gu is still rising now. Although he is already one of the leading figures of the Mesozoic era, he is not yet a leader.
Huang Xiaoming and Wen Zhang are not as good as Principal Gu.
The former is not famous for his box office. He has good movies, but also bad ones. His reputation and personal appeal are low among the young actors in the mainland.
The latter has not yet come out of the low tide of "See you on Monday". This time it is more like his godfather helping him find a way out.
Jet Li is the only one who is confident of carrying the box office, but his actual performance is also up and down, not to mention that he is out of fashion now.
As the hottest box office star in the current film industry, he has a great psychological advantage over Cheng Long, who has not yet fallen, not to mention that Jet Li is no longer as good as he used to be.
Because of the influence of Wei Yang, Fan Xiaopang did not mix with the Hong Kong circle. If he had participated in this movie like in his previous life, he would not have had any worries at all.
"Actually, this is good. At least I can face them head-on. It's time to punch the nursing home."
Wei Yang had some regrets before. When Cheng Long and Jet Li were active in the film industry, he had not yet made his debut. When he started to rise, the two had also started to get old and their output was not as good as before.
This summer season gave Wei Yang a chance to make up for his regrets, and he faced off against Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, the two heroes of the film industry.
Although it was an older version, the black-hearted boss Wei sometimes liked to do such immoral things to bully old men.
These two are too strong in their peak period. Even if he is not afraid, it is easy for both sides to lose. It is so good to win and win easily like this...
"Tsk tsk, the bad guy is almost smoking. Stay away from my son in the future and don't teach him bad things."
Fan Xiaopang looked at Boss Wei with disdain, and the latter didn't care: "What's wrong with being a bad guy? Sometimes, 'bad guys' live successfully and freely. Besides, I don't respect the elderly. When you bullied Tang Yan, you didn't love the young. Let our son admit his bad luck. Who made him have to deal with us two?"
After being said by Wei Yang, Fan Xiaopang actually nodded: "What you said makes sense. It is better to bully others than to be bullied by others."
"Uh, you can't bully others intentionally..."
Wei Yang was afraid that this woman would really teach his son to be a playboy and a bad seed, so he quickly went back to make up for it.
Fat Yu, who was far away in Beijing and participated in the investment and distribution of "Legend of the Gods" by Bona, also expressed his concerns.
"Boss Xiang, Madam Xiang, you haven't worked with Wei Yang before. I know how powerful this guy is. It's really not a good idea to choose to compete with Wushuang."
"Boss Yu, you worry too much."
Madam Xiang touched the big gem ring on her hand, and her voice was also full of confidence: "We have a bunch of people like Lianjie, Baizhi, Xiaoming, and Tianle, and we have invested so much money. It's easy to deal with Wei Yang."
Don't worry, I have the advantage!"
