Compared to the movie, it was naturally faster for the TV series. After all, many of the sets were ready-made. They could just go to Hengdian's Qin Palace to shoot. There was no need to be too picky. Nowadays, TV series were just like that. It was meaningless to invest too much.
The director was the original director, Jiang Jiajun, but the screenwriter and executive producer were Wu Haoshen. Big Brother was the special consultant, and Big Brother's personal director, Tang Jili, was the artistic director. He helped to check on some details.
The main cast was definitely very strong, but the main cast was not so strong. Most of them were newcomers.
The first female lead, Yu Shu, was Bai Yi, the second female lead, Yu Ji, was Yang Mi, the third female lead, Lu Zhi, was Qin Lan, and the fourth female lead, Lu Su, was Li Qin. This lineup would definitely be very impressive in the future, but it was just so-so now.
In the end, the male lead still chose the original Hu Ge. The Tang side was originally a Hong Kong and Taiwan capital. This time, they owed the Perfect side a huge favor. They would definitely have to return it later. Wu Haoshen was obviously eyeing the Celestial Three and Step by Step Startling.
As the executive producer, Wu Haoshen didn't usually have to go, but he had to go to the opening ceremony. Therefore, on November 9th, at 11 a.m. sharp, he appeared on set to participate in the opening ceremony of The Myths.
As the most popular and influential genius director, Wu Haoshen naturally became the focus of all the media. Although his big brother was here today, Wu Haoshen was the most popular one.
Reporter: " Director Wu, congratulations. It's said that Wushuang's overseas box office has already exceeded 95 million USD, and it's very likely to exceed 150 million USD in the future. Including the nearly 600 million USD in the Greater China region, the global box office is infinitely close to the 2 billion mark. It can be said to be the most popular Chinese film in history.”
The rest of the crew could not accept this question. It was indeed amazing. Just the mainland alone had directly broken 500 million yuan. This was a box office record that had been sealed for nearly a decade. Moreover, it had exceeded more than 100 million yuan.
Xiangjiang's box office was also very scary. It had broken the 61.3 million box office record set by Kung Fu in 2004 and reached an astonishing 67.8 million Hong Kong dollars. It was only one step away from the 70 million mark.
However, this was only the box office record for Chinese films there. It was far inferior to Hollywood blockbusters. The box office record for Chinese films there was also a big ship that was released at the end of 1997. It had earned 115 million Hong Kong dollars. From this, one could see the huge gap between Chinese films and Hollywood films. Even the local market was crushed.
What Wu Haoshen knew was that this was only the gap now. When Marvel Entertainment officially launched their efforts, there would not be any Chinese films in the top 20. The 20th place," Superman 2," had a box office of 71 million Hong Kong dollars. At that time, the box office record for Chinese films was still the 2004 Star Master's " Kung Fu."
However, everything was different now. Wu Haoshen was the real king of the box office. His first debut, which he had written and directed, had achieved such exaggerated results. Coupled with the legend of today's filming, he himself was a legend.
"All of this is thanks to everyone's support. At the same time, it also proves one thing. The audience votes with their feet. As long as you put in your heart and produce an excellent work that everyone likes and supports, the box office will be worthy of your efforts.
Compared to the box office record created by Hollywood movies, I know that I'm far from enough. Therefore, I have to set a small goal for myself now. 100 million Hong Kong dollars. I want to break through 100 million Hong Kong dollars in the box office of Chinese films in the local market of Xiangjiang!”
Wu Haoshen's words naturally provoked the media. No one said why they didn't mention the mainland because Wu Haoshen was the current vote king in the mainland. He had already created a legend, and it was unlikely that anyone could catch up to him for the time being.
Therefore, it was reasonable for him to focus on the local market in Xiangjiang. After all, that was the center of the Chinese entertainment industry. Wu Haoshen was also the most representative trump card in the Hong Kong industry. Just like how the Taiwan industry always used Li An and Wu Baige as their signboard, the Hong Kong industry also needed such a golden signboard.
Reporter: " Then, Director Wu, do you think your next work,'The Great Sage,' will have this opportunity?”
Wu Haoshen said confidently,"Of course, if an epic blockbuster like 'The Great Sage' that has gathered more than half of the Chinese entertainment industry's strongest line-up can't succeed, then we should really reflect on what went wrong and where the future of Chinese films lies!”
Looking at Wu Haoshen, who was talking to the media, none of the lead actors were angry that their limelight had been completely stolen. Instead, they looked at Wu Haoshen with admiration. This Director Wu was really amazing.
Qin Lan had gotten this role through an audition and had not signed a contract with Perfect Entertainment. However, she already had thoughts about this. Recently, she had been vaguely showing goodwill to Li Qin, Wu Haoshen's goddaughter.
"Qin 'er, your Godfather is really too powerful. Will you go and film Great Saints in the future?”
"Not yet. I'm still too young, but there's still a chance for follow-up works. I have to film my Lu Su well first. This is my first film on the silver screen. Sister, you have to take care of me more when the time comes.”
Qin Lan was Lu Zhi, and she was sisters with Li Qin's Lu Su, so the two of them had already begun to address each other as sisters. Their relationship was the best among the four of them.
Bai Tu knew what Qin Lan was thinking, but she didn't reject it. Qin Lan was indeed pretty. Based on her understanding of Wu Haoshen, he should be interested in Qin Lan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given her the third female lead.
As for Yang Mi, who had just joined the company, Bai Mang really didn't take him seriously. He was just a foot-washing maid. As a supplement to the company's genre, she played two roles. One was Yi Xiaochuan's girlfriend in the modern world, Gao Yao's sister, Gao Lan, and the other was Yuji, who looked exactly like her in her previous life.
These two characters weren't very likable, especially the modern one. In the end, she became the wife of Yi Xiaochuan's brother, Yi Dachuan. In the eyes of many people, this was too much of a bitch and too melodramatic.
As for Lu Zhi, who was originally more of a villain, because of her historical image, she would slowly turn black because of Yi Xiaochuan hurting her sister's death. She would attract more sympathy. Wasn't there a saying?
One was not afraid of bad villains, but they were afraid of beautiful villains. That was why Wu Haoshen's version of the female villain had such a characteristic. As long as she was beautiful enough, no matter how bad she was, she would have a lot of fans and bootlickers.
