Li Hyuk made a brief guest appearance as the host of the premiere, introducing the crew and creative staff to reporters and fans.
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend this premiere. I am the host Li Hyuk, and I would like to ask the creators to say hello to everyone." Li Hyuk waved his hand, indicating that Nolan would start.
Nolan took the microphone and said hello everyone in Chinese first, and then said in English: "I am Christopher Nolan, the director of the film. Thank you all for coming to this premiere."
Li He translated Nolan's words in time and asked Matthew McConaughey to introduce himself. Matthew showed off his Chinese throughout the whole process. He had taken Chinese as an elective when he was studying, so he spoke much better than others.
"Dagaha, Worthy Maxiu and Makana, I can't speak Chinese well, but they are even worse, thank you..."
Matthew's Chinese pronunciation made everyone laugh, and Matthew, who is a comedian, cooperated and acted strangely. Next came Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Ma Daimeng, and others who came from afar.
Mr. Michael Caine introduced himself, occasionally adding a sentence of Chinese, which he had learned temporarily.
"Everyone must be curious about what kind of movie "Interstellar" is? Then please ask Director Nolan to reveal the creative ideas of this movie." Li Hyuk said.
Nolan was also unambiguous. After the script was born, he took over the film project himself, and actually shot the film scenes. With the photos and videos on the big screen behind him, he taught a lesson to the reporters and audience present, including several Chinese directors who came here.
Guo Fan listened attentively, especially when he heard that Nolan actually built a one-to-one model of the spaceship and planted 500 acres of cornfields in Canada in order to shoot the film. He is truly a real-life shooting fanatic.
Matthew himself answered: "What I find most interesting is that not only was the five hundred acres of corn planted by the crew not wasted, but the harvested corn was also sold and a small profit was made."
Li He smiled and said: "This is also an alternative way to increase income. Director Nolan, do you know your nickname among Chinese movie fans?"
Nolan replied: "I know, it's called a real-life shooting maniac, right?"
"Not only this, you also have many nicknames, do you want to know?"
"Of course I want to..."
"OK, let's ask the audience, do you know what Director Nolan's nickname is?"
The various answers from the audience made the creator on the stage look confused. After listening, Li He said to Nolan: "I've summarized it. These nicknames may be a bit long. Please listen carefully."
Nolan said he wanted to take notes, and Li He gave Nolan the translation of one nickname after another: "Overlord of the rating website, VIP of the Dead Wife Club, brain-burning chef with three Michelin stars, puppet master of time, guardian of the film reel"
, Hollywood’s last auteur director, British screenwriter, director and producer, Christopher Edward Nolan, so many nicknames, which one do you like?”
Nolan was confused for a moment: "So many nicknames?"
"Yes, you heard it right, but I personally prefer to call you a real-life shooting madman." Li He said.
"Um, I wonder what the last hobby Edward was?" Nolan asked.
"Because Edward also has love..."
Looking at Nolan's many nicknames, Matthew and other leading actors asked Li Hyuk what his nickname was, and Li Hyuk responded one by one: "Matthew, your name is Da Diao."
Matthew was stunned. What does this nickname have to do with him?
Li Hyuk went on to talk about Anne Hathaway's nickname: "Your nickname is Princess Sweetheart."
"Wow, I like this nickname, thank you." Anne Hathaway made a princess gift.
"What about my nickname?" Ma Daimeng asked.
"I'll tell you how to pronounce it, Ma Duimeng."
"Ma~dumb~cute, what do you mean?"
"It means you are very cute..." Li Hyuk's explanation made everyone find it funny.
Jessica Chastain's nickname is Model Worker, and Michael Caine's nickname is Ah Fu. These nicknames have their own merits, and sometimes I don't understand how these Chinese movie fans came up with these nicknames.
After a brief introduction to the background of the film's production, it was time for questions from the media and the audience. Unexpectedly, the first person to ask questions was a bad person.
"Director Nolan, what is the difference between this movie released in China and the version released abroad?"
Nolan was stunned. Compared with the North American rating system, China also has a review system. Some scenes will be deleted. Of course, "Interstellar" is no exception, so what does this mean?
It seems that Director Nolan is not aware of the fuss about the special edition of the X-Men movie in China that made a big fuss some time ago, but he also knows that there are pitfalls in this question, so he answered cautiously: "The screening policy in each region is different.
They are different, so there will be some subtle differences in details.”
"That means the character played by Lee Hyuk will probably only appear in the Chinese special edition, right?"
Looking at the aggressive reporter, Nolan frowned and turned to look at Li He. Li He helplessly replied: "Mr. reporter, if you had seen the North American trailer, you wouldn't have said that, but it doesn't matter.
, the movie will be released around the world soon, you can go to North America to watch it again after watching it in China, now please let other people ask questions."
Just when the reporter was about to ask the next question, he saw the dissatisfied looks of his colleagues around him and the unkind looks of the fans behind him, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
This was a small episode, but the reporters and the audience were still very enthusiastic. After the interview session, it was time for the movie screening. Li He returned to the backstage with a dark face and asked Qian Duoduo: "Which media company does that reporter from just now belong to?"
?”
"Reporters from Entertainment Weekly are a very annoying media," Qian Duoduo replied.
"It's this media? That's not surprising, but how is this media screening done? Deliberately letting people sneak in to embarrass me?" Li He was very dissatisfied.
The mainland distributors of "Interstellar" are China Film and China Film Group. The person in charge of the premiere was Dongfang Hao, the director of the distribution department of China Film. Qian Duoduo immediately called Dongfang Hao over.
"What do you want to do?" Li He asked, staring at the landlord.
Landlady Hao obviously knew what happened when the reporter asked the question just now, and defended: "This is not my responsibility. If there is a problem, it will be on your side."
Li He could certainly see the obvious shirking of responsibility. The other party was the director of the distribution department of China Film Group, and he had great power. Without conclusive evidence, there was really nothing he could do. However, Li He had no intention of leaving the matter like this, otherwise anyone could do it.
Doing good and authority on one's own head.
If I don’t teach you a lesson, then I will treat myself as weak and can be bullied, right?
Li He didn't care about Landlord Hao's reaction and called Pan Li directly. She had a good relationship with Huaying, and this movie was related to China Film's interests. Landlord Hao must not have asked the superiors for instructions, so it was his
He made his own decision, but the result will definitely affect the box office of "Interstellar" in China. China Film Academy will definitely not tolerate such intrusive behavior.
Landlord Hao looked indifferent, it was just a simple matter, and the company would not do anything to him. Besides, that person really gave a lot, and I just used this to help him and teach Li He a lesson.
After a while, Landlord Hao received a call from the boss of Huaying: "Dandang Hao, what the hell are you doing? I don't know that this movie is related to our company's annual income, how dare you do anything?"
"No, Mr. Yu, please listen to my explanation..." Landlord Hao hurriedly defended, but was rudely interrupted by the other person on the phone, who told him to return to the company quickly and leave the distribution of "Interstellar" to another person.
Landlady Hao lowered his head, glared at Li He angrily, turned around and left.
