Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Zhang Xiao hurriedly begged for mercy: "Honey, please be merciful. I was wrong. Your participation in my concert is definitely the icing on the cake."

"What? You actually called me an old man?"

"Ah, I was wrong, wife, please forgive me!"

The two laughed and laughed all the way.

In the next three days, Zhang Xiao accompanied Yang Mi all over New York, what a joy it was!

Domestically, Sakura Film Company.

Xiao Lishan slammed the table down hard, his eyes were full of anger.

Just now, Suo Li rowed over to the CEO Tanabe Yosaka to call him, asking him to ensure the normal release of "Wind Talker" no matter what.

But the problem is that Zhang Xiao's hundreds of millions of movie fans have already started to boycott this movie. It can be said that it is a hundred times more difficult than going to heaven to turn the public opinion around.

He was almost pissed off by making Xiao Lishan wipe his ass for the shitty things that Columbia Pictures had done.

Miao Qingqing, the person in charge of the propaganda department of Sakura Films, asked cautiously: "Mr. Xiao, what shall we do now?"

Xiao Lishan glanced at her, and said, "You are the person in charge of the propaganda department, why don't you ask me?"

Miao Qingqing said hastily: "I will immediately call a meeting of everyone in the department and come up with a suitable plan as soon as possible."

Xiao Lishan snorted and waved his hands.

Miao Qingqing turned around and left as if she had received an amnesty.

"What should I do?" Xiao Lishan closed his eyes and thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of any solution.

Unless Zhang Xiaoken came forward to speak for "Wind Talker", otherwise, no matter what propaganda they did, it would be futile.

But is this possible?

It's not possible at all.

At this moment, Xiao Lishan suddenly felt that the most powerful thing about Zhang Xiao was not his incomparable wealth, but the hundreds of millions of movie fans behind him supporting him. This power is so powerful that no one can match it. rival it.

Inside a cafe in Los Angeles.

Wu Yusen and Li Lan sat together with a haggard face.

"Director Li, I'm done." Wu Yusen took a sip of his coffee, which was a bit bitter, just like his mood at this moment.

Li Lan said: "Director Wu, no one can win every battle. Although the box office of "Wind Talker" is not very good, you didn't let the producer suffer, and you even made tens of millions of dollars. I think it's right." You don't have much influence."

Judging from the current situation, the box office of "Wind Talker" in Europe and the United States can reach at least 1.7 million US dollars, and the producer can make a profit of 5000 million US dollars from it, which is only [-] million US dollars away from the production cost and publicity cost.

As long as the box office in Asia is stronger and some other income is added, the 5000 million US dollar hole can be easily filled.

Wu Yusen said with a wry smile: "Mr. Zhang's domestic fans are boycotting the movie "Wind Talker". Now I have been scolded by them so much that I dare not promote it."

In fact, Li Lan has been preparing his new movie, so he didn't know about it, so he asked, "What's the reason? The interview video?"

Wu Yusen nodded, and said: "Longda Cinemas and Ant Films were paid 1000 million US dollars in liquidated damages by Columbia Pictures because of the distribution of "Swordsman". In order to get revenge, they sent that video to On the Ant Short Video APP, the number of clicks alone has now exceeded [-] million."

When Li Lan heard this, he immediately took out his mobile phone, and soon found the news about Wu Yusen slandering Zhang Xiao on the hot search list.

Good guy, there are hundreds of thousands of comments in the comment area, apart from those who complained about Zhang Xiao, and those who called Wu Yusen a traitor.

Seeing this, Li Lan sighed and said, "Director Wu, the matter has reached this point, what are you going to do?"

Wu Yusen thought for a while and said, "Director Li, can you do me a favor and take me to apologize to Mr. Zhang?"

"It's late!" Li Lan shook his head and said, "If "Wind Talker" was still boycotted, you might have room to maneuver if you apologize in person, but now that the movie has been boycotted, you just go there, then It will make people feel that you are forced to apologize for the movie box office, which seems very insincere."

Wu Yusen said: "But apart from Mr. Zhang personally appearing to appease those movie fans, I really can't think of any other way."

After pondering for a while, Li Lan said, "Director Wu, in fact, this road is not the only one."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yusen quickly asked, "Is there any other way?"

Li Lan said: "Why don't you go to Yang Mi or Chen Ya, as long as you get Yang Mi's forgiveness, it will be much easier for Mr. Zhang."

"That's right!" Wu Yusen's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said, "I'm going back to China right away."

"and many more!"

Li Lan shouted: "Didn't you apologize to Mr. Zhang on the show and on Twitter before? You can take this thing over there, maybe it will help."

Wu Yusen nodded and said, "Thank you, Director Li."

Looking at the back of Wu Yusen leaving in a hurry, Li Lan sighed, and whispered softly: "If I knew today, why bother?"

On March [-]th, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" held a launch conference.

For the new movie of Zhang Xiao, the No.1 movie recognized in the industry, the media reporters are very concerned, and the entire venue is densely packed with media reporters.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiao chose an open-air press conference, otherwise, no hotel would be able to accommodate so many people.

Standing on the stage, Zhang Xiao said with a smile, "Thank you everyone for coming to the launch conference of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". First of all, I would like to introduce the actor next to me grandly."

"His name is Andy Serkis, and he plays the actor Caesar in our movie."

"My wife, Ms. Yang Mi, and I will serve as the first male and female supporting roles respectively. In addition, Mr. Elliott, Mr. Colby, and Ms. Athena will also join us."

"I hope that after the film is completed, it will satisfy fans all over the world."

"Okay, now everyone can ask questions."

After the words fell, the media reporters at the scene raised their hands one after another.

"Lady first, please ask this beauty in red first!" Zhang Xiao called out.

"Thank you!" The woman stood up and asked, "Mr. Zhang, before you usually played the leading role in the movies you shot, and rarely played supporting roles. Why is it different this time?"

Zhang Xiao replied with a smile: "What I play is determined according to the script. It doesn't mean that I won't act if I am not the male lead. You can check it out. I have actually played many supporting roles."

"Mr. Zhang, the cast of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" doesn't seem to be very strong. What do you think about that?"

Zhang Xiao thought for a while and replied: "When I make a movie, I always choose actors based on whether they are suitable or not. I never look at the so-called lineup. There are too many celebrities, and it may not be possible to make a good movie. If there is less, it does not necessarily mean that no good movies can be made, and I think there is no necessary connection between the two."

"Whether "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is a commercial film or an artistic film, how much investment have you prepared, and what is your expectation for the global box office after the film is released?" Another reporter asked at this time.

Regarding this question, not only this reporter wants to know, but I am afraid that everyone who pays attention to this launch conference wants to know.
