Leaving on March 10, Sun Peng still had a lot to do before that.

For example, at the end of the day, check the League of Assassins that has been done in the later stage, and then sign the trailers and posters of several versions; Another example is to inspect DreamWorks' "Mulan" project and make some small comments; Of course, I also participated in the premiere of "The Terminator" to support Takagi Pictures and Wei Xiaolin......

"Xiaopeng, have you arrived?"

On the way to the Northern Cinema, Sun Peng received a call from Wei Xiaolin, and the other party asked urgently.

"Hmm...... Soon, right? ”

Casually glancing at the road outside, Sun Peng said with some uncertainty: "It should be soon!" I think it should be a few minutes at most...... Can't you just greet the other stars who are at the premiere first? ”

“……”

The silence on the other side made Sun Peng's heart jump suddenly.

"Ahem, you better hurry up!"

“…… No way? ”

As if remembering something, Sun Peng exclaimed in disbelief: "I said buddy, you don't even have a decent red carpet ceremony over there, right?" Could it be ...... Didn't invite any big names to come and cheer? ”

"Who do you think we can get?"

"Poof!"

After listening to Wei Xiaolin's helpless response, Sun Peng finally couldn't hold back anymore and laughed out loud.

But as soon as he laughed, Sun Peng immediately stiffened his face and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, I definitely didn't mean to laugh at you, I just ...... Mmmm, wouldn't I be the biggest guest at today's premiere? ”

Wei Xiaolin was obviously angry, and retorted loudly: "Guest? What kind of guest are you? You're a screenwriter, right...... Alright, come here! ”

Although the tone seemed to be very angry, Sun Peng, who was familiar with Wei Xiaolin, still felt strange, because no matter how he listened to him, he had a faint strange feeling, as if Wei Xiaolin was not angry, but hung up the phone because he was afraid that he would continue to ask - this time, he thought more and more that today's premiere was strange......

Shabby!

After arriving at the premiere of "The Terminator", if there is one word to describe everything he has seen, Sun Peng may only think of such one word.

There are no red carpets, no stars, just crew members and fans!

"Ho, I see!"

After seeing Wei Xiaolin who greeted him with a smile on his face, Sun Peng finally understood, and couldn't help pouting: "I said, it's not this saving method for us to save money, right?" It's also a premiere, so you can't come up with a promotional fee? ”

"Hehe, money has to be spent on the blade!"

At this moment, Wei Xiaolin didn't care about Sun Peng's ridicule, and he was like the two of them on the phone just now.

Looking at Director Wei's careful smile, Sun Peng's heart moved, and his face suddenly darkened: "I said Old Wei, you weren't afraid that I would turn around and leave just now, so you ......"

"Ahem! Ahem! ”

Without waiting for Sun Peng to finish speaking, Wei Xiaolin put his arms around his shoulders and whispered, "Good brother, don't care so much." Our publicity money is limited, and it is all spent in the most important places, and this premiere depends on you to support the scene! When the reporter interviews later, don't say anything good! ”

“……”

Rolling his eyes, Sun Peng was speechless.

But after rolling his eyes, Sun Peng suddenly smiled again, and the smile was meaningful: "No problem!" But Lao Wei, I rarely accept interviews with reporters, even at the premiere of my own movie, it is very quiet, this time ......"

"Uh, what do you want?"

His cheeks twitched, and Wei Xiaolin had a bad premonition.

"Tsk, it's easy!"

snapped his fingers, Sun Peng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Forget it this year, but if I open a new movie next year, you will be an assistant director for me again!" And you can't just help during shooting, you have to help from the time you prepare! ”

The more he has spent studying recently, the more Sun Peng feels that he has more inadequacies.

So if he opens a new movie, he feels that having a veteran by his side to assist is the best way, and Wei Xiaolin is undoubtedly the best choice. It's just that if "The Terminator" does well at the box office, Lao Wei's market will definitely be bullish, and it is difficult to say whether people are willing to be deputies again.

However, what Sun Peng didn't expect was that Wei Xiaolin didn't care about being his deputy at all, but his eyes lit up, and he asked urgently: "Ouch, you will open a new film next year?" Is the script ready? Quick, show me first! ”

"Nope! I don't even have an idea! ”

"Cut ......"

Waving his hand, Wei Xiaolin pouted in disappointment: "You don't even have an idea, what do you say?" When you have an idea, notify me half a year in advance, and I'll set aside the schedule for you......"

……

Compared with Lao Bai's two huge action movies and one animation last year, the release of "The Terminator" seems to be a little quiet - of course, only relatively.

After all, there are no big names in directors and actors, and the production company is still Takagi Pictures.

Anyway, for most moviegoers, and even for some veteran fans, the name Takagi Pictures is so unfamiliar, so strange that they subconsciously think that it is another miscellaneous company, or a new company that has just been established.

And the promotion of the whole movie is also very "low-key".

I have to say that Gao Runqing really values this opportunity, after all, being able to get the script from Lao Bai is simply an opportunity from heaven in his opinion. If it weren't for Wei Xiaolin's relationship, he wouldn't have thought that even Lao Bai, who had been rejected countless times by those big companies, would hand over the script to Takagi Pictures to shoot!

So in the filming process of Wei Xiaolin, Gao Runqing really responded.

Ask for people to give people, ask for money for money!

Especially considering that "Terminator" is always a science fiction film, so when doing the post-production, Gao Runqing desperately wanted to make the few special effects shots in it better and more perfect......

Naturally, the production budget is exceeded again and again!

So when Wei Xiaolin finished the later stage heartily, and after several revisions were more sophisticated, Gao Runqing found that his company's money was not enough - at least according to the original plan, it was really not enough!

The consequences of exceeding the budget are immediately apparent.

Of course, for a film company owner, there will definitely be no shortage of ways to find money, such as taking the finished film to find a bank loan, and then asking those old friends to borrow a loan shark and so on. Then when Gao Runqing was about to grit his teeth and borrow money, Wei Xiaolin stopped him - using all the limited funds in the most important places.

As for the rest......

Anyway, just the word Lao Bai can attract the attention of countless fans, and it is enough to make a large part of them enter the cinema.

Wei Xiaolin believes that even if the publicity funds are insufficient, "Terminator" will definitely be able to win a lot of box office in China, as for overseas, it really depends on the word-of-mouth and box office results behind the movie......
