However, since their main backer, Teacher Su Yu, had spoken, the main creators naturally couldn't undermine Teacher Su Yu.
So, in the subsequent interviews, the creative team members were exceptionally “confident.”
And while Teacher Su Yu and his team were holding their premiere at Tianxing Cinema Line, the crew of “the great era 2” was also holding their premiere at Dadi Cinema Line.
However, the media and reporters who came to their crew’s premiere were a bit sparse.
Apparently, they had all been drawn away by Tianxing Entertainment’s “beautiful fate” crew.
This made Wen Hao, who was both the screenwriter and director, very displeased.
Just because the other party was Tianxing Entertainment didn’t mean their movie was bad, right?
They had Liu Ruyan and Li Enjun as the main actors, and they also had big stars, small stars, and young idols.
And they were all the kind with extremely strong fan bases.
Otherwise, how could they have secured a 26% screening rate?
Moreover, the hunger games had grossed over 100 million at the box office, and this time, for the second part, his ambition was 300 million!
“Director Guo, we just received news that the ‘beautiful fate’ crew is expecting a box office of 500 million chinese yuan. What is your box office expectation for ‘the great era 2’?”
A reporter at the premiere, who had received the news, asked provocatively.
Wen Hao was a bit stunned to hear this news. Was the other party crazy? An romance film actually boasted 500 million?!
Not only did they disregard his movie and release it in the same period, but they also wanted to crush him in terms of total box office?
But after thinking about it, he felt that the other party was bluffing, more like creating a publicity stunt!
Then he couldn't be outdone, could he?
He also had to say 500 million at the box office. If neither party reached it, his movie wouldn't be the only one singled out for criticism!
That's right, that's what he would do!
“I am also very confident in my ‘the great era 2.’ As for the final box office performance, it should not be less than 500 million!!”
Wen Hao spoke with full confidence.
His height, less than 1.5 meters, exuded an aura of 1.8 meters.
The troublemaking reporter’s eyes instantly lit up; his plan had succeeded!
“Teacher Su Yu, the 500 million box office figure was stated by Su Yu, the producer of ‘beautiful fate.’ As for Su Yu, a newcomer to the film industry, what are your thoughts?”
The topic was unknowingly led to Su Yu.
What did he think? Wen Hao was cursing inwardly at this moment.
Su Yu was indeed a newcomer to the film industry, but which newcomer’s first script could achieve a box office of 1.2 billion?
If he had known that the 500 million box office figure was said by Su Yu, he wouldn't have followed suit.
Although he had never met Su Yu in person, nor had any relationship or contact with him, Su Yu’s reputation was well-known, so how could he not know?
He didn't believe that Su Yu would intentionally exaggerate the movie’s box office for a gimmick.
Therefore, Teacher Su Yu truly had confidence that the movie’s box office could exceed 500 million!
Now this reporter, who had set a trap for him, wanted him to comment on Su Yu again?
Wasn’t this trying to instigate a conflict?
If it had been when Su Yu first emerged last year, Wen Hao wouldn't have paid any attention to Su Yu.
But now? He was truly a big shot in the Chinese music scene. What was he?
Could the combat power of his fans rival that of Su Yu’s fans?
“Although Teacher Su Yu is a newcomer to the film industry, his strength is indeed beyond doubt! I very much look forward to having the opportunity to collaborate with him in the future! Whether it’s for scripts or music, or even inviting him to play the male lead...”
Wen Hao bowed his head and entered flattery mode.
Nothing else, just a strong will to survive.
If a juggernaut like Tianxing Entertainment and Su Yu were to roll over him, perhaps he wouldn’t even be able to make a sound?
At this time, the news that Wen Hao had stated a box office exceeding 500 million for “the great era 2” was also reported by the reporters present.
They were there to stir up trouble. Now that Wen Hao had chickened out, it was up to Su Yu to respond.
“Teacher Su Yu, Director Guo said that his ‘the great era 2’ will not gross less than 500 million at the box office. Do you feel this is a provocation to you?”
The reporter asked loudly, drawing everyone’s attention to him.
However, he seemed to have forgotten the prominent Giant Shark News logo on his microphone.
He also forgot that the last time Su Yu confronted someone outside CCTV, it was a reporter from Giant Shark News.
“Security, please politely escort the Giant Shark News people out! From now on, no one from Giant Shark News is allowed in.”
This time, Su Yu didn't confront anyone directly but instead had the security guards step in.
The Giant Shark News reporter and cameraman were stunned; they never expected Su Yu to be so ruthless!
But before they could resist, four burly men appeared beside them, two per person, and directly “escorted” them out.
“The spoilsports are gone. Everyone, please continue the interview.” Su Yu said with a smile.
Interview what?! You’ve been so ruthless; who else would dare to ask random questions?
And Su Yu, are you really not afraid of Giant Shark’s retaliation? Are media and reporters so easy to offend?
Just wait, it won’t be long before negative articles about you are flying everywhere.
Although they can’t do anything to you, it’s certainly no problem to disgust you, right?
Soon, the interview ended, and the lights in the premiere hall dimmed.
“beautiful fate” officially premiered for its first showing.
The movie began with a hilarious scene of Wen Jiajia, played by Liu Ruyan, at the airport.
A person who didn’t understand English miraculously obtained a visa to Seattle, a scene that left countless first-time moviegoers speechless.
However, thinking about the reason Wen Jiajia used made it even more absurd.
It was actually because of a movie...
What surprised the audience even more was Liu Ruyan’s acting.
Because they didn’t see any awkward performances from Liu Ruyan; instead, it was very natural.
When Wen Jiajia landed and Li Enjun, with his black-rimmed glasses and bushy beard, came to pick her up, the audience felt even more pleasantly surprised.
Because Li Enjun’s styling was too charming.
He was clearly a handsome older man.
Although he lacked the ethereal quality he had in “little li flying dagger,” his appearance was truly impressive.
Listening to Wen Jiajia’s rapid-fire reprimands in the movie, many people felt that this Wen Jiajia was truly too pretentious.
Such a character setting was a bit unlikable.
However, an unexpected event soon occurred: the confinement center Wen Jiajia was going to was reported, and she could only forcefully make Li Enjun find her a new place where she could safely give birth.
It was only then that the audience understood why she wore a waist trainer when entering the airport.
It turned out she planned to secretly give birth there and have the child registered there.
Such things were common a few years ago, but they have become rare in recent years.
Because the domestic economy and environment have been improving, and the number of people fawning over foreign things has also decreased.
Those who still claim that the moon is rounder abroad are either idiots or fools.
However, Wen Jiajia, going abroad alone, was quite pitiful; she didn't speak a foreign language, was unfamiliar with the place, and even the confinement center she had booked was investigated.
Sitting in the car, she finally started to feel scared.
