Entertainment: God-level director

Upon hearing this irritating question, Lao Mouzi’s expression remained as usual and he did not suddenly change his expression. He cursed the reporter who asked the question.

He has always had a good temper, and no matter how criticized he was by reporters, he would never come out to scold him.

Not even able to talk back.

But unlike Brother Kaizi and Feng Dapao, if they dare to say that their movies are not good, they will definitely not look good.

Just like”The Promise” more than ten years ago, if you dare to say that it is a bad movie now, Brother Kaizi will immediately fall out.

And Feng Dapao is even more awesome. If a movie does not do well at the box office, he will directly call the audience trash.

Lin Ran glanced at the logo attached to the microphone in the reporter’s hand, which was from the Pig Farming Network, and secretly remembered it on the small notebook.

“Director Zhang’s level is beyond doubt, and winning the jury award is the best proof.

Whether a movie can win the Palme d’Or is not only related to the quality of the movie, but also to the taste of the judges and other factors.

Even if I directed”The Truman Show” myself, it wouldn’t be better.”

Lin Ran did not hesitate to support Lao Mouzi.

“Director Lin……”

“It’s a bit late, so that’s it for tonight.”

The reporter wanted to ask again, but Lin Ran interrupted him directly.

Lao Mouzi, Zhang Ziyi and others were also dissatisfied with the reporter’s instigation in person. Under the protection of the assistants, they got into the car and left quickly.

Waiting for them to disappear in the blink of an eye. Afterwards, the other reporters all glared at the reporter from the Pig Farming Network, wishing to kill him.

“Well, I’m sorry, I’m going back to writing the manuscript first.”

Zhuyang.com reporter also knew that he had caused public outrage. He smiled and ran away in despair. In the car back to the hotel.

Gulinazha sighed:”Reporters nowadays always want to make big news.”

“Who said this is the era of traffic? In order to attract traffic, the media has become more and more bottomless. Lin

Ran shook his head and said,”That is to say, he is bullying Lao Mouzi because he has a good temper. If there were another director, he would scold him back on the spot.””

“Director Zhang really has a good temper.”Gulinaza nodded.

After returning to the hotel, Lin Ran and Gulinaza changed their clothes and went to a restaurant in the hotel to hold a celebration banquet.

《”The Truman Show” won the best screenplay and the jury award, which can be regarded as a fruitful harvest.

Moreover, they went out to walk the red carpet at four or five o’clock in the afternoon, and they didn’t have dinner. They are really hungry now.

“Although we didn’t win the Palme d’Or, we did win the Best Screenplay and the Jury Prize. Let’s drink to”The Truman Show” and let’s keep up the good work!”

Lao Mouzi proposed with a toast

“cheers!”

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them, then drank them all in one gulp.

“Director Lin, do you have a good eye for how much box office you think”The Truman Show” can get?”

Deng Chao asked after drinking.

Everyone else looked at Lin Ran expectantly.

Even Lao Mouzi was the same.

Lao Mouzi’s previous film”One Second” was a huge hit on the street, with a box office of just over 100 million. With his Although his reputation will not mean that he will have no movies to direct in the future.

But if”The Truman Show” hits the box office again, investors will definitely become more and more cautious about his movies.

Just like Wu Baige, such a big brand , wasn’t it abandoned after”Taiping Wheel” was severely flopped on the street?

“$300 million worldwide!”

Lin Ran thought for a while and gave a box office figure.

Lin Ran liked the movie”The Truman Show” in his previous life and watched it over and over again. He knew that the global box office of this movie was US$265 million.

You know , that was still US$265 million in 1998.

As a Chinese-language film now, it is definitely not as good as the Hollywood brand in the previous life, and the box office in overseas regions may not be as good as in the previous life.

But in this life, there is a huge Chinese market, and the world has received $300 million is totally possible

“$300 million?”

When they heard the box office forecast given by Lin Ran, Lao Mouzi, Zhang Ziyi, Deng Chao and others were stunned and in disbelief.

You know, 300 million US dollars is already almost 2.1 billion yuan when converted!

《”The Truman Show” is not like Lin Ran’s movie, which can win box office around the world. It is almost impossible for a Chinese-language movie that does not have any Hollywood stars to participate in and is not a special effects blockbuster to win any box office abroad.

In other words, the box office of this US$300 million depends entirely on the domestic market!

Although it is not new for a small-budget movie to break 2 billion in box office in the domestic market, it is definitely not easy to get 2 billion.

Lao Mouzi’s highest-grossing movie is”The Great Wall” with a cast of big-name stars, but it only got 1.173 billion, which is far from 2 billion.

“Director Lin, did your unit make a mistake?”

Deng Chao asked quickly after being stunned for a moment.

“No mistake. Lin

Ran waved his hands with a smile and explained:”The Truman Show is not an ordinary literary film, but more strictly a feature film.”

Moreover, the core idea of the movie is very easy to arouse public discussion. It is not a big problem to get a billion box office.

Overseas, as long as Xuanfa keeps up, it’s no problem to get 1 billion.”

“Director Lin, from what you said, it seems to be true.”

Zhang Ziyi thought for a while and couldn’t help but nodded.

“That’s right, after the movie is released, there will definitely be a lot of discussion about whether we are living in a reality show directed by someone else. With the discussion, are you afraid that there will be no audience to watch it?”

Deng Chao also nodded repeatedly, feeling that it is really possible to reach a box office of 300 million US dollars.

“Since Lin Ran said it could reach US$300 million, I think even if it doesn’t reach it, it’s definitely not far behind.”

Chen Daoming said:”Then we wish in advance that the box office of this movie will reach 300 million US dollars!”

So, everyone drank another drink together.

Even after drinking a few glasses of wine, Lao Mouzi was said to be very excited. It would be great if”The Truman Show” had a double harvest at the box office and awards. I don’t know now. How many people say that Lao Mouzi can no longer keep up with the times and should be eliminated?

“Lin Ran, I toast to you. Without you writing such a good script as”The Truman Show”, this movie would not have existed.”

Lao Mouzi took the initiative to toast Lin Ran and express his gratitude.

“Director Zhang was polite. Lin Ran smiled.

“Director Lin, I also toast to you, thank you for giving me those good roles in the past.

Hahaha, I also hope that if there is a suitable role for me in the future, I will be given priority.”

After he finished drinking with Lao Mouzi, Deng Chao also took the initiative to propose a toast.

“Chao’er, as long as you don’t direct by yourself, your acting skills are still very good, so if there are suitable roles, I will definitely find you first.”

“Director Lin, I feel that my directing skills have improved a lot, but of course I still can’t compare with you.”

Deng Chao was not angry and smiled.

Zhang Ziyi complained:”Deng Chao, Director Lin is a genius director. His graduation project won the Palme d’Or for short films. It would be strange if you could reach Director Lin’s level so easily. Got it”

“Passed passed.”Lin Ran smiled and waved her hands.

Gulinazha rarely spoke and just looked at Lin Ran who was at the center of the topic with admiration.

In this kind of dinner party where all the big names are included, Lin Ran is still the undoubted center. Even Zhang Ziyi is Such praise made her feel extremely proud.
