Everyone in the audience looked up in unison, their eyes full of curiosity, and the second promotional video began to play in this curious atmosphere.
Immediately following the end of the first slice, the story background of the main film was set more than 400 years later.
Although there are no detailed and specific subtitles to explain, everyone present can accurately understand the situation, because the time period corresponding to the main story of more than 400 years later is exactly the 21st century that the earth is currently in.
Under the powerful background of this natural and deep sense of substitution, the strange scenes such as the earth, the moon and the sun that are divided into two parts in the picture instantly appear extremely magical, and have an irresistible attraction to watch the movie.
The force caused many people to scream in surprise.
After the camera focused on the wonders that were split into two by the sky, the scene suddenly switched. Actors such as Cheng Long and Hui Yinghong were fearless and fighting to the death against the "army of dirty things".
Arrive with arrogance.
The appearance is a fierce battle, and this method of publicity and slicing is undoubtedly like a powerful magnet, attracting everyone's attention.
Just looking at each character, they are armed with a variety of cold weapons, showing off their unique superpowers, sweeping away waves of alien objects with overwhelming force.
Predicting the future, freezing time and space, moving at the speed of light... These dazzling and wonderful scenes made the audience mesmerized, as if they were immersed in it.
The visual impact hit one after another like a raging wave, causing bursts of "wow" exclamations to erupt from the scene. Everyone was deeply fascinated by the various whimsical ideas and wonderful elements.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.
The audience only experienced the heartfelt pleasure from the shocking special effects, but in the eyes of professionals, what they saw was the extraordinary special effects technology of China.
"The special effects are very well integrated with the characters and scenes. It's easy to see that the film crew put in a lot of effort." South Korean director Kim Ki-duk was the first to give a high degree of recognition to the film's special effects. This is undoubtedly based on his professional perspective.
professional judgment.
Then, he frowned slightly and his eyes were full of doubts: "What surprised me is that the team's efforts alone are not enough to achieve such a level of special effects. The technical level must reach an extremely high level to achieve it."
Then, he turned to look at Li Cangdong, with a searching look in his eyes: "However, in the Chinese film industry...when did their special effects level reach this level?"
"Hero" is the first commercial film from mainland China to successfully go overseas. However, it is not a special effects film. Instead, it has become famous in the global film industry with Zhang Yimou's exquisite stunt design and unique light and shadow aesthetics.
As for Chinese special effects films, there was only one representative work that they could know about its level before, and that was Chen Kaige's "The Promise".
"The Promise" was released in China in 2005 and in Asia in 2006. After watching the movie, not to mention anything else, it was obvious that the special effects were still in their infancy.
Not to mention being on par with Hollywood, let alone competing with Japan and South Korea, there is a quite obvious gap in terms of special effects technology in Southeast Asia, led by Singapore.
Only three short years have passed, and the second special effects film from China to go overseas is the "Sky Curtain" that brought them a visual shock, which made him deeply feel the Chinese film and television special effects technology.
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, there has been an epoch-making leap forward.
The previous "The Promise" was simply eclipsed by this "Sky Curtain", which even gave him a strong feeling that "Sky Curtain" had surpassed their South Korean counterparts in terms of special effects.
But how is this possible?
"Perhaps they paid a lot of money to hire a Hollywood team to help. I heard that this movie was shot in Los Angeles." Li Cangdong said ambiguously, because this second promotional video showed that they surpassed South Korea.
The level of special effects provides an excuse to give myself some comfort.
But his excuse made his colleagues nearby shook their heads and were speechless.
Just looking at the schedule of the three movies, Hollywood regards this movie as an equal competitor, so how could it possibly lend a helping hand to help this movie create elaborate special effects?
Even if you have to find an excuse for yourself in order to achieve psychological balance, you have to find a more reasonable reason.
The pictures on the screen switched quickly, and the group of professionals temporarily stopped communicating and devoted themselves to the film.
"Wow -" the audience once again burst into deafening exclamations.
Sure enough, the magnificent special effects scenes have always been the most fascinating core of special effects films.
The mysterious mountain houses that appeared from the clouds, the countless silver bridges that criss-crossed the mountains and rivers, the winding mountain roads of different heights connecting both sides of the silver bridge, the winding mountain roads like coiled snakes with inlays on them
The simple wooden pipes that pass water through the mountain walls, the majestic tall black water waterfall at the end of the mountains and rivers...
The hurried figures walking back and forth on the mountain road, the dwellings in the caves that people see when they lead to the entrance of the cave, the lively downtown and bustling streets formed by connecting the dwellings in the caves, and even the hustle and bustle of the streets.
What a magnificent city looks like!
Everyone in the audience was stunned and their eyes almost popped out.
The camera kept switching, and everything they witnessed were wonderful scenes that they had never seen before, innovative designs that they had never heard of, and unimaginable ideas that they had never imagined.
The scene came to an abrupt end, and the audience immediately fell into a frenzied commotion, with passionate and passionate exchanges coming and going like a tide.
"This scene is so shocking! Civilization in the mountains! A city in a cave! How on earth was this conceived!"
"???????(unimaginable)!"
"surprised!"
"This scene is so amazing!"
"..."
The audience exclaimed that they were shocked, and the industry insiders present also had the same reaction.
SBS deputy director Jiang Jingyan's stunning face gradually calmed down, she let out a breath and said, "We are going to re-examine Chinese film and television."
Upon hearing this, KBS general manager Lee An-wook and MBC deputy director Jung Min-ho were startled.
"This is just a promotional video and does not represent the overall quality of the movie." Zheng Minhao said.
"But the level of special effects, modeling, scenery, and lenses it presents." Li Anxu turned his head and looked at him, speaking lightly: "And this unimaginable creative ability... It doesn't matter if the people underneath are deceiving themselves.
, but in our position, it’s not a shame to admit its excellence, is it?”
After saying that, Jiang Jingyan added: "The media deceives the people. This is our national condition, but we people know very well that our cultural roots come from China. Even if we are unwilling to admit it to the outside world, we all know this.
"
Jiang Jingyan looked at the screen, staring at the paused scene of the cave city, and continued: "Without a strong civilization as a foundation, how can we have such an amazing imagination? The breadth of culture determines the depth and dimension of the creator's imagination.
Rather than focusing on Hollywood, which is contrary to our underlying culture, I think learning from Chinese culture may make the development of our entire industry smoother and better."
"Heh." Li Anxu let out a soft "heh" and glanced sideways at Jiang Jingyan: "Beautiful Jiang has always loved Chinese culture, and everyone inside and outside the circle knows it. Otherwise, you SBS wouldn't have cooperated with Cui Minzheng for so many years, but you have to
Think carefully about who is behind the South Korean entertainment industry."
"Who is behind this and what does it have to do with me? Anyone in our industry should know that the people's choice is the most important." Jiang Jingyan has always been a strong woman, and she was not afraid of his identity when facing the general manager of KBS.
Tough.
"The masses?" Li Anxu seemed to have heard a big joke and said: "Most of our masses have no favorable opinion of China. Are you kidding?"
Jiang Jingyan said disdainfully: "Having a negative opinion of China and an attitude toward Chinese films and TV dramas are two different things. Listening to the reactions at the scene, don't our South Korean audiences respond equally enthusiastically to excellent film and television works?"
"Okay, okay." Although Zheng Minhao felt very happy when he saw the two families arguing with each other, it was obviously inappropriate to quarrel on this occasion, so he could just say a few words.
Zheng Minhao came out to smooth things over: "Even if this movie is excellent, it is still brilliant. The strength of Huaying and Yinghuang cannot represent the entire Chinese market, otherwise their film media would have long promoted their film technology."
"Yes, that's right." Jiang Jingyan nodded: "That's why I said we need to re-examine it. Otherwise, when the overall level of their industry reaches the level of this movie, it will be too late for us to wake up by then. Not only will it be completely
If we lose China’s market, it will be difficult to maintain the market in Asia.”
"Beautiful Jiang is worrying too much. With the United States and the West here, China cannot occupy much of the Asian market." Li Anxu shook his head casually.
Jiang Jingyan snorted lightly, stopped commenting, and changed the topic: "Mr. Li, I heard that in your Korean Wave revival plan, "Full House 2" will be combined with Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's "Star You"
Damn it, I already have an intention to cooperate with Cui Minzheng. When the time comes to introduce "Star You", we will compare it and discuss other things."
Lee Anxu's face changed and he said angrily: "If a foreign drama competes with our local Korean drama, are you still a South Korean?"
Hearing what he said, Jiang Jingyan immediately turned cold: "KBS, you have used Hollywood films and TV shows to suppress our local industry for half a century. Are you South Koreans?"
Zheng Minhao looked at Li Anxu from the left and Jiang Jingyan from the right, feeling happy in his heart!
Especially Jiang Jingyan, she is so awesome!
This woman has always been tough, and she has the support of the Jiang family group behind her. She is already the deputy director of SBS at a young age in her early thirties, and she has always been fearless and has her own way of doing things.
He is falling in love with this beauty Jiang more and more. She has a super personality and is just like the real-life version of "Princess Nihuang".
On the podium, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei did not expect that the broadcast of the second promotional clip would not only trigger an uproar and strong response from the audience, but would also lead to a quarrel between representatives of the two major forces in South Korea.
Just looking at the noisy, active and enthusiastic communication atmosphere at the scene, mixed with all kinds of surprises and shocking words about the movie, made the couple feel more gratified and in a particularly happy mood.
"Everyone, please be quiet. We will immediately enter the second round of interview interaction." Song Yang presided over the speech at the right time.
After the scene gradually became quiet, and the couple did not say hello, he took the lead and invited a random media reporter who raised his hand.
"Excuse me, did all of you ancient Chinese people live in caves?"
The short-haired red-haired female reporter who was targeted started asking concise and concise questions.
However, as soon as this question came up, the expressions of everyone in the audience changed instantly.
The faces of the overseas Chinese compatriots present were full of anger and dissatisfaction, and the passion and shock they had just felt from the film slices had completely dissipated.
"What kind of reporters are these? They are asking all kinds of random questions!"
"Do South Korean journalists only deliberately make things difficult? Is this the pattern?"
“Too rubbish!”
People in South Korea didn't understand what these Chinese were talking about, but they could guess from the reporters' questions that it wasn't anything good.
A small number of South Koreans also frowned, feeling that these media had gone too far. Starting from the first round of interviews, several questions asked had already deviated from the theme of the movie.
Even if you want to deliberately make things difficult for people, at least the focus of making things difficult should be on the theme of the movie.
They don't care about the topic. This is really indifferent and gives them the feeling of just looking for trouble.
Moreover, there were many Chinese people present at the scene, which really embarrassed them, the Koreans.
Most South Koreans have an attitude of watching a movie, just because the more excellent the movie is, the more exciting it is for them to expose their inferiority complex, which makes them feel entangled in their hearts and become very unhappy.
The female reporter with short red hair stared closely at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, her eyes full of hope, waiting to see how these two famous Chinese stars would respond to this question.
She admitted that the promotional clip she just shared was extremely good, so good that it could be called perfect, and there was no point at all that could be criticized in terms of film elements.
Whether it is a large number of novel elements that have never been seen before, or an ingenious and extremely unique scene design, or a cultural environment display that is unique to China and is closely integrated with the scene without any sense of contradiction, the overall visual impact and picture
The shock intensity is extremely full.
It can be said that any Hollywood blockbuster and any so-called classic special effects scene pales in comparison to the scene in the mountains just now in terms of humanistic depth and cultural breadth.
It's really spectacular and magnificent.
As a result, the explosive loopholes that can be unearthed about the scene just now can only deviate from the theme and reflect the real humanistic environment. That is to say, the ancients of China all lived in caves. Otherwise, how could such a scene be imagined?
The Chinese friends in the audience were a little noisy, while Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei on the stage seemed a little speechless.
The questions asked by some media are really unreasonable. Just like the previous question about war, what is shown in the movie must be what it is in reality?
According to this logic, stop making movies and TV series, and just make documentaries instead.
The couple was really angry. They only made things difficult once or twice in the first round of interviews, but now they were asked endless questions that were out of touch with the theme of the movie.
Liu Yifei was very reluctant to answer such a question. She felt that such a question was very mentally retarded. Seeing an audience member raise his hand, she smiled and said, "Does this friend want to answer this question?"
A young man in a black T-shirt stood up. He looked quite young and must have been an international student.
Hearing Liu Yifei's question, he nodded repeatedly with joy and indignation in his eyes.
Liu Yifei signaled with her eyes and asked the staff of her team to hand the microphone to this person.
The media present were astonished and asked the audience to answer questions. How could this be done?
The guests present showed great interest, and this press conference became more and more interesting.
The young man in the black T-shirt took the microphone, not afraid of such a big scene, and immediately spoke loudly, directly pointing at the reporter with short red hair: "As for this reporter's question, as an international student from China, I think
I have the ability to answer you."
"Before answering your question, I first want to tell a piece of history and tell a historical truth about the whole world."
"The great powers have colonized the world for hundreds of years through their so-called great voyages, and countless oppressed countries and enslaved people have been involved."
"Almost all countries and people have no sense of resistance and have accepted the fact that they were divided and disintegrated by the great powers."
"The same is true for my motherland. It was semi-colonized, had its homes raided, plundered by the coalition forces, and was devastated."
"However, unlike other devastated countries around the world who choose to lie down and die, my motherland is constantly trying to rise and rejuvenate. Whether it is the Revolution of 1911 or the May 4th Movement, wherever there is oppression there is
There is resistance."
"Since the founding of the motherland, in just sixty years, it has developed from a situation that no one looked down on to the third largest economy in the world!"
"And it has never shown any arrogance or bullied any small country. It has always aimed at rejuvenation and peaceful development and has become the only industrial power in the world with a population of over one billion!"
"I just want to ask, since the recorded history of the world, or since the existence of the earth, has any country been able to achieve this step from being colonized and liberated?"
"There is no one, only my motherland, China!!"
"So, in view of this reporter's question, my answer to you is..."
"If the ancients in our Chinese civilization could establish such a vast civilization system in such a complex and difficult environment among the mountains as in the movie, then I am even more convinced that my motherland today will be more rejuvenated and stronger!"
"That's my answer, thank you."
The young man in the black T-shirt looked upright and upright. After speaking, he handed the microphone back to the staff.
The staff was so surprised that they didn't even come back to their senses after taking the phone from him.
"Well said!" The overseas Chinese present burst into enthusiastic voices, and stood up to face the young man, giving him thunderous applause.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei on the stage were also deeply touched.
Chu Xuan stood up without hesitation and gave the audience a thumbs up, regardless of the numerous media shots, to express his appreciation and support for him.
Liu Yifei also stood up. Her face was soft, her eyes were full of appreciation and respect, and she kept clapping her hands to applaud the audience.
Both the couple were infected by this passionate declaration, and their hearts were filled with pride and excitement.
These words were so encouraging and powerful!
Not only did the nation’s self-confidence surge, but it also made it impossible for foreigners to refute.
As this person said, among the oppressed countries in the world, China is the only one that can rise and revive!
Once this meaning is expressed, the previous and current problems of making things difficult for their country through their movies will no longer exist and become as trivial as a child's problem.
The couple only felt that overseas, in this special event belonging to China, the only ones who could hold up the scene were they, the Chinese!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even overseas, they Chinese people are still connected heart to heart.
"That's awesome." Liu Yifei said softly to Chu Xuan. She didn't expect that it was just a random idea to ask an audience friend to answer this question, but the answer was so awesome that it can't be described in words.
"It really boosts your morale." Chu Xuan said happily. These remarks were no less important to him than the motto "A strong young man will make a country strong", and these remarks were all true. This was very
Very strong and very capable.
The young man in the black T-shirt cast his gaze, and Liu Yifei looked at him, her curved eyebrows full of admiration, giving him a thumbs up.
The young man's mind was clear at this moment. Under the unanimous praise of the Chinese people in the audience and the two domestic idols, he felt a little shy. He scratched his head in embarrassment and sat down slowly.
It's just that the so-called media was so messy and the questions they raised were so outrageous that he was so angry that he suddenly got excited and issued the passionate patriotic declaration just now.
Zhao Xue translated word for word, word by word. After listening to the complete translation, the South Koreans present had wonderful expressions on their faces and mixed emotions.
Although this person did not mention any names in his words, he pointed out who those countries were that had been oppressed and colonized.
However, somehow it makes people feel as if they are talking about them!
China is the only country in the world that has successfully overcome many difficulties and achieved rise and rejuvenation.
Doesn’t this mean that they haven’t risen yet? They are still being colonized?
At this moment, the hearts of many South Koreans felt as if they were being crushed by a boulder. They were terribly uncomfortable, but they were unable to refute.
After all, they didn’t mention you at all!
Jin Zhenshan's face became extremely ugly. He never expected that this press conference would develop like this, and the source of all this was ultimately caused by their own country's media. This really left him speechless.
, extremely embarrassed.
Li He and Cui Min were watching the change in his expression, both of them remained silent.
If these remarks had come from Chu Xuan or Liu Yifei, the nature of the press conference would have completely changed. If the person involved took the initiative to deviate from the topic, they would inevitably say a few words to save or maintain the situation.
But these words were spoken by the audience, and they are not directly related to the press conference.
This is tantamount to a loud slap in the face by the Chinese audience in front of all the South Koreans in the audience. If they, as the organizers, reprimand this audience, it is obviously impossible.
And if they were to comfort Jin Zhenshan, they would undoubtedly be even more humiliated.
Isn't it even more embarrassing for the president of the Tangtang Film Association to be humiliated by the audience's refutation of facts and to ask people from other countries to comfort him?
Li Hedong and Cui Minzheng looked at each other speechlessly, and it was hard for them to applaud in front of Jin Zhenshan.
The next moment, Jin Zhenshan said: "Manager Cui, can you give me a microphone?"
Cui Minzheng was slightly startled. Jin Zhenshan wanted to speak through the microphone? What did he want to say?
Full of doubts, he turned his head and discussed with Li Hui in a low voice in Chinese.
Li Hed nodded, and Cui Minzheng motioned to the staff to bring over the microphone.
Not long after, Jin Zhenshan took the phone and slowly stood up straight, his posture upright but a little dignified.
Under the doubtful eyes of Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and all the South Korean people in the audience, Jin Zhenshan walked steadily to the media, faced everyone, and said seriously: "The media should have the most basic professional qualities and the moral bottom line that a human being should have.
."
His voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the hall: "Chinese films come to us for promotion. This is a cultural exchange between the two countries. Just like our works go to China for promotion, both parties should give
At least respect each other."
At this point, he paused slightly, with a firm and serious look: "Here, on behalf of the South Korean film industry, I sincerely hope that the questions from media friends will be closely focused on the theme of the movie, rather than turning their attention to those who deviate from the theme of the movie.
direction."
After saying this, he bowed slightly and said, "Thank you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into thunderous applause, and the sound of "clapping" was deafening and lasted for a long time.
The overseas Chinese present were flushed with excitement, wondering in their hearts, could this be considered an apology from this big shot to China on behalf of the South Korean media?
This is really amazing!
When have Chinese people and Chinese film and television works enjoyed such treatment overseas?
The person in front of me must have a lot of background. Such words can be regarded as a big sigh of relief for the Chinese people, which makes people feel excited and excited!
Although some South Koreans at the scene were unhappy, they also understood to some extent that Kim Jin Sun's behavior was the most reasonable and reasonable under such circumstances.
The words of the South Korean audience member just now can be said to be impeccable and cannot be refuted.
In the face of this indisputable fact, if the media continues to ask difficult and culturally exclusive questions, it is simply asking for embarrassment.
Everyone in the audience has said that China is the only country that can rise after being exploited, suppressed and oppressed.
In the face of this ironclad fact, when South Korea is still under the control of the United States, from their South Korean perspective, any questions or words that slander China will appear extremely stupid and ignorant.
Seeing Kim Jin Sun appear in person to speak, although his speech seemed to be bowing to China, as a leader in the film industry, such a move can be regarded as showing due etiquette and dignity.
For them, it is enough to save some face.
The media at the scene all looked at the reporter with short red hair, their eyes full of unabashed contempt and merciless scolding.
The questions in the previous round were fairly acceptable, and even if Chu Xuan responded effectively, they were just issues left over from history.
But now, the answer of the overseas Chinese audience to this question is not only a question left over from history, but also a direct poke at the current global environment. As South Koreans, they are simply disgraced. It is really too embarrassing!
The female reporter with short red hair blushed, embarrassed and extremely annoyed.
On the stage, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other, with a little smile in their eyes.
The president of the South Korean Film Association spoke personally. I think the media will no longer dare to ask random questions, right?
The couple never thought that coming to South Korea to hold a press conference would be so difficult and severe, but now it seems that all the bad situations should have disappeared.
Just like that, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei sat down hand in hand, quietly waiting for the next round of questions and answers for the publicity slice...
