$20 million, which is almost an incredible high price for Chinese films.

Later generations of "Hero" became popular in North America to make Zhang Yimou and the producer of "Hero" very unhappy, and even publicly accused Harvey Weinstein of being too unscrupulous.

However, Fox has now won all the copyrights of "Hero" in North America and distribution rights in Europe, and "Hero" will be released in 2,222 theaters across the United States the day after tomorrow.

The sequel to the horror film "The Crazy Python 2: Searching for Blood Orchid" with high box office and high reputation, and a crime suspense film "Suspect Zero".

"The Crazy Python 2" is the biggest threat, but Fox's biggest concern is choosing "The Raid" released on Monday.

For "Rail", the biggest competitor is "Hero". After all, at this stage of the summer vacation, the real big-scale films have ended, and the market popularity has dropped significantly.

In this case, they are all yellow-skinned directors and all yellow-skinned actors.

And they are all the main actions, but the concepts of "Hero" and "Rail" are completely different.

Zhang Yimou and Fox have the same concerns. The release of action films with conflicting styles at the same time is likely to have a huge negative impact on another film.

But so far, the trailer and promotion of "Hero" has satisfied Fox, and Zhang Yimou's arrival has also opened up the final promotion of "Hero".

Hilton Hotel, Fox Distribution Manager Matthew Lunt, director Zhang Yimou, starring Jet Li, and Zhang Ziyi sat on the rostrum, and more than 20 reporters gathered in the rostrum.

Although "Hero" was postponed to release in North America for a year, the nomination for the Oscar foreign language film half a year ago still attracted countless people's attention.

Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" several years ago has made many people look forward to Zhang Yimou's "Hero". At this moment, there are more than 20 reporters who have not many, but there are not many.

Matthew Lunt hopes that the people in front of him can help "Hero" send a good signal to the audience and let them walk into the theater.

"Thank you all for coming to our press conference. I think "Hero" will not disappoint you. If you have any questions, please ask questions!" Matthew Lunt said with a smile.

Although Zhang Ziyi is just a supporting role in the film, she is internationally well-known enough. In addition, she was the heroine of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", so many reporters threw the problem to Zhang Ziyi from the beginning.

"Zhang, who do you think is better for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" or "Hero"?"

"Zhang, how much do you think the box office of "Hero" can be? Will it reach the level of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?"

...

Zhang Yimou was not surprised that the reporters threw the problem to Zhang Ziyi as soon as possible. Instead, he was very happy with this situation.

He valued Zhang Ziyi's influence in the United States and hoped to help the box office.

Zhang Ziyi is not a rookie. She has been in the entertainment industry for so many years and knows how to answer such a question: "No, these are two equally excellent films.

I am honored to participate in the filming of this film and become a member of the crew. I cannot disclose the specific plot, but I think you will not be disappointed when you get close to the theater.

As for box office, I think the higher the better, but the most important thing is everyone's reputation. This is what we care about the most."

"jet, this is a film you starred in. There were rumors before that Justin Chen's "Raider" would invite you to star. In the end, you did not star, but Zhen from the crew of "Heroes". Do you have anything to say about this?

Did Justin invite you? Do you feel sorry?"

"Jet, "Rail" will be released in three days. Do you think it's a failed schedule for them to schedule a bad day like Monday?"

"Jet, do you regret not being in "Raising", what kind of person do you think director Justin Chan is? Can this "Hero" save you the embarrassing situation in the box office of "Hollywood" recently?"

...

Jet Li laughed and felt a little depressed. He once thought that Chen Tian, ​​a Chinese director who rose in the United States, would invite him.

The result was completely media stolen, and the role was finally left to Donnie Yen, and Chen Tian never contacted him from beginning to end.

He is not a fool, he knows that Chen Tian used more than a few times to play with Jackie Chan to promote it in advance.

"I'm sorry, I haven't received an invitation from director Justin, who is also a very talented and young director. I haven't had time to pay attention to "Raider", I think I'll pay attention.

I think they must have special considerations about the schedule arrangement. If I can guess this, they will definitely suspect that there is a discord in the company.

I also hope to have opportunities to cooperate with Justin in the future, but at present I hope "Hero" can satisfy everyone.

I am very confident about this, and I won’t force the box office, but I believe that a good movie will get more attention.”

Although Jet Li did not directly suggest that the box office was very good, he still showed his confidence in "Hero".

The reporters turned their attention to director Zhang Yimou. Before they came, they knew that Zhang Yimou was a top Chinese director, but for them who are used to Hollywood, they did not look down on Zhang Yimou.

"Director Zhang, except for the current "Falling in Heart" that Justin Chen has not exceeded 100 million, all other films have successfully exceeded 100 million in North America. Do you feel pressured?

Do you think the box office of Heroes is likely to beat Raiders?” Black, a reporter from Hollywood Reporter, stood up and asked.

Zhang Yimou touched the microphone and laughed: "Justin Chen is an excellent director. I met him a month ago. I believe "Rail" will be an excellent film.

But I also firmly believe that "Hero" will impress you, and as for the box office, I am looking forward to a win-win situation."

Just then, Sean from the Los Angeles Times next to Black received a message.

"The thief returned all the items in the Scarlett theft case. Last night, someone started to reveal the divorce agreement between Justin and Scarlett."

"Divorce Agreement? God, this news is so exciting!" Sean couldn't help but shout. When he shouted out, he realized that he was still interviewing on the spot. How could Sean's abnormal behavior escape the capture of his treacherous colleagues?

"Whose divorce agreement?"

"What news, share Sean!"

...

Although the others were quiet, there were only about twenty reporters on the scene, which suddenly seemed abrupt.

Zhang Yimou seemed a little embarrassed. There were no one asking questions on the spot, and it was less than twenty minutes before the press conference began.

"Justin Chen is back to Los Angeles and is about to arrive at the airport. This time it must be big news. If you go late, it will be gone!" Feike from the Orange County Chronicle glanced at the text message on his phone and looked at the stage not far away.

"I feel uncomfortable in my stomach. You guys will interview first. I will go to the bathroom first." Feike covered his stomach, then bent down and walked towards the place where he went out in pain.

"You won't get rid of your stomach, right?" Sean asked with some concern, but when Fyke walked out of the conference room he received a similar message.

"**! That guy must have lied to me!" Sean no longer had the intention to stay.

Soon they all found reasons to leave, and the scene became extremely awkward. Matthew Lunt's expectations were completely disappointed, and the press conference ended in half an awkward half an hour.

"This group of damn people!" Matthew Lunt pounded the table hard!
Chapter completed!
