Chapter 585: The Launch Conference of the Battle of Chibi
It can be said that "Battle of Red Cliff" has invited almost half of the people in China's entertainment industry.
Chen Gang sat in the middle seat, full of energy, and introduced the situation of "The Battle of Red Cliff" to everyone.
When it came time for reporters to ask questions, Chen Gang once again couldn't control his loud mouth.
"Director Chen, how much does "Battle of Red Cliff" cost this time?"
"Five billion."
"Fifteen billion is only 220 million US dollars. Don't you think it's a bit short?"
"220 million U.S. dollars is still less? This reporter, are you confused? How many movies can there be in the entire entertainment industry that exceed this number throughout the year? Besides, good steel is used on the blade, and our actors all star at reduced prices.
More than 70% of the funds will be spent on production, so I believe that "Battle of Red Cliff" will be a very good movie."
"Director Chen, the cast of "Battle of Red Cliff" is extremely luxurious, involving actors from almost every film and television company, but there is no Qingtian Yue Company. Why is this?"
Upon hearing this question, Chen Gang's expression immediately dropped and he said: "I don't have the dignity to invite them to our "Battle of Red Cliff" crew. After all, their company has an internationally renowned director."
As soon as these words came out, the reporters were like cats that smelled fish, and they immediately became energetic.
Zhou Runfa, Liang Chaowei, Chen Daoming and others who had been applauding Zhang Xiao couldn't help but frowned when they heard Chen Gang's words.
As for the other actors, they just pretended not to hear.
Just kidding, even though we are filming Chen Gang's movie, but let them offend Zhang Xiao, the number one person in the entertainment industry, for a "Battle of Red Cliff"?
That is absolutely impossible.
"Director Chen, among the top twenty movies in the world at the box office, Xiao Shen has directed and starred in half of the movies, and "Interstellar" even won the global box office championship. Are you confident about "Battle of Red Cliff"?
Beyond Interstellar?"
Chen Gang's face was so ugly that he was about to shed tears, and he said in a deep voice: "As a director, of course I will have confidence in my own movie. Our "Battle of Red Cliff" is divided into two parts, and the target box office is 5 billion.
U.S. dollars.”
"As for "Interstellar," I've seen it online. It's a typical Hollywood movie, using Hollywood shooting techniques. Although it's all Chinese directors and actors, it's not a real movie.
Domestic films.”
"Only our "Battle of Red Cliff" is a truly domestic film."
As soon as Chen Gang finished speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. The reporters all looked at Zhang Yi, Chen Daoming and Li Xuejian.
Zhang Yi's expression was quite embarrassing, while the expressions of Chen Daoming and Li Xuejian were extremely gloomy.
You know, the last one of them was an actor in "Interstellar", and Chen Gang's words were simply pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey.
"It's broken!" Chen Gang secretly cursed himself for being confused. He was about to explain. How could the reporters give him this chance?
Among the three, Chen Daoming was definitely the one with the biggest temper, so reporters asked him questions directly.
"Teacher Chen, you played a very important role in "Interstellar". What do you think of what Director Chen Gang just said?"
Chen Daoming said bluntly: "I don't agree with Director Chen's view. From the investors to the director to the actors and staff, as well as the post-production staff, all of them are local people from China. If these are all
It’s not a domestic movie, so what is a domestic movie?”
The reporter asked Teacher Li Xuejian again: "Teacher Li, Director Chen just said that "Interstellar" used Hollywood shooting techniques. What do you think of this?"
Li Xuejian replied: "Sorry, I'm just an actor, not a director. I have never heard of this term."
From the perspective of Chen Daoming and Li Xuejian, if they don't argue for their works, there may be no place for their faces in the future.
The two people's unceremonious answers made Chen Gang feel very uncomfortable, but both Chen Daoming and Li Xuejian were big bosses in the industry, and he could only endure it even if he was angry again.
What's more, he was the first to jump into this matter.
The reporter asked Zhang Yi again: "Zhang Yi, you are also an important actor in "Interstellar". What do you think of the above two issues?"
Zhang Yi was furious in his heart, you bastard, why are you asking me?
Do you really want me to die?
Although he is also a popular artist with outstanding acting skills, his status in the entertainment industry is far inferior to that of Chen Daoming and Li Xuejian.
What the two of them can say, they must not say when it comes to Zhang Yi, otherwise they will completely offend Chen Gang.
Just when Zhang Yi was in a dilemma, Director Chen slapped the table and said: "Are you done yet? This is the launch conference of "Battle of Red Cliff". Does it have anything to do with "Interstellar"? You
Why do you insist on bringing these two movies together? Are you deliberately looking for a topic?"
Chen Gang also immediately said: "Teacher Chen is right. This press conference will only answer questions about "The Battle of Red Cliff". I hope everyone can cooperate."
The reporters felt very sad to see such a good topic disappear like this.
However, you have Zhang Liang's plan, I have a wall ladder, and they targeted Zhou Runfa again.
"Brother Fa, why did you play the role of Cao Cao?"
Zhou Runfa is a leading figure in the industry, and he is also very experienced in answering reporters' questions. He refused to answer and asked: "Is there any problem with me playing Cao Cao?"
"Of course there is no problem. What I mean is that everyone knows that you and Xiao Shen are close friends. Have you told Xiao Shen about your role as Cao Cao? What is his attitude?"
Zhou Runfa said: "Zhang Xiao did call me and wanted to ask me to play a role in "Zhu Xian". Since I had already signed a contract with Cao Cao, I turned him down and only agreed to make a cameo."
"When you ask me this question, you just think that the relationship between Zhang Xiao and Director Chen is not good. If I take Director Chen's role, will Zhang Xiao be unhappy? In fact, it is not the case at all. We are not as narrow-minded as you think."
"On the phone, Zhang Xiao not only didn't get angry, but he also discussed the role of Cao Cao with me for a long time. This guy is a miracle in the entertainment industry. His acting skills are not second-guessing. I have benefited a lot from him.
.”

In order to cause a fight between the two enemies Chen Gang and Zhang Xiao, the reporters tried their best to stir up trouble. Fortunately, they were all experienced and no one allowed them to succeed.
It wasn't until Chenfeng, the culprit who caused the conflict between Zhang Xiao and Chen Gang, appeared that the situation changed dramatically.
"Chen Feng, do you think "Battle of Red Cliff" can surpass "Interstellar"?"
"With my uncle, a great director, and so many good actors, I believe it will be possible."
"You had an enmity with Zhang Xiao because of your pursuit of Yang Mi. Do you regret it now?"
"First of all, I didn't pursue Yang Mi, and secondly, I don't regret it either."
"What do you think of Zhang Xiao's achievements?"
"Zhang Xiao is just a bastard who likes to abuse force. The word achievement cannot be applied to him."
···
"That's enough!" After hearing Chen Feng's mindless words, Chen Gang slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Since you are so interested in gossip news, then go ask Zhang Xiao about today's "Battle of Red Cliff"
