Outside the venue where the press conference was held, many reporters came and wanted to take photos of the cast attending the press conference.
You must know that many different versions of the cast of "Love Letter" have been reported during the audition period, but the news has always been circulated and has not been finally confirmed.
Unfortunately, the press conference was held in the city of Shanghai. Not to mention that many artists have lived in this city for a long time, and there are also many artists who come and go at the airport every day. It is difficult to guess based on the IP address.
Among the reporters at the scene, Lin Lan was one of them, and she occupied the prime seat early.
As the press conference began, the artists’ vehicles also arrived one after another during this period.
The first thing Lin Lan photographed was Fu Yunshen and other crew members who arrived at the scene early.
Another commercial vehicle passed by, and Lin Lan immediately aimed at the camera.
The vehicle stopped, and Jiang Yuan also got out of the vehicle with He Jing and others.
"Don't be too nervous. We have attended so many press conferences together. Just follow the previous process." After getting off the car, He Jing was still persuading Jiang Yuan.
As an example of an actor-turned-director, He Jing feels that he should understand Jiang Yuan's mood very well.
But as someone who is very familiar with Jiang Yuan and has cooperated with him many times, He Jing has great confidence in Jiang Yuan.
As an artist, today's occasion is not a very big one. In addition, from a professional perspective, He Jing also thinks that Jiang Yuan's level is very good.
"Yeah." Jiang Yuan nodded and adjusted the hem of his suit.
After getting off the car, Jiang Yuan realized that he was about to enter the camera range, so he adjusted his posture in an instant and walked calmly towards the venue with He Jing.
At the same time, the cameras in the reporters' hands quickly started working.
Lin Lan was also pressing the shutter button quickly, partly to reveal Jiang Yuan's press conference style that day as soon as possible.
Although it is only a little earlier than the live broadcast, it can still gain a lot of traffic.
Jiang Yuan's first official announcement as a director was considered a relatively important occasion, so even in the hot weather, Jiang Yuan still wore a neatly tailored brown suit.
In addition to releasing the look in advance, many reporters also took fierce shots of the backs of Jiang Yuan and He Jing in the same frame.
This is a photo with a story. Based on such a photo, many reporters can edit a comprehensive headline.
Of course, it is difficult to control whether the interpretation is excessive.
After Jiang Yuan and He Jing entered the scene, the next person who arrived was Shang Yan'er. As the heroine of the movie, she is also the actor with the most roles in the entire movie. It can be said to be an absolute success. Shang Yan'er this time
Also dressed in a white suit.
The shutters of the reporters at the scene began to ring again.
After Shang Yan'er arrived, she could send out the draft together with the editor of the styling photos she had taken for Jiang Yuan.
In addition, the two of them happen to have the same color scheme, one light and one dark, so the two photos together still have a very atmospheric feel.
In this way, the pictures of Jiang Yuan and Shang Yaner appeared on the Internet as the first set of pictures in the news of the day.
In addition, Jiang Yuan and He Jing were also included in news headlines related to the theme of "inheritance".
In the venue, Jiang Yuan and others paid no attention to the news on the Internet, and all their attention was focused on the press conference that was about to start later.
Jiang Yuan glanced at the layout from a distance backstage and nodded unconsciously.
The layout of the "Love Letter" launch conference was designed to be very ceremonial and basically centered around the theme of the movie.
From the seat covers to the small souvenirs prepared, it all has a fresh atmosphere.
Even the background board of the big screen is a newly released movie concept.
The poster is a photo taken by Fu Yunshen on site when he was scouting the location. Based on the photo, it was produced by Li Hai, a well-known poster designer in the industry.
Finally, a very fresh and elegant concept poster was given.
"The others should be arriving soon, right?" Jiang Yuan slightly counted the number of people and confirmed with Fu Yunshen.
"We are already preparing to enter the venue. It should be in time." Fu Yunshen replied after taking a look at the message on his phone.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan nodded and stopped asking any more questions. He, Fu Yunshen and others once again focused on the press conference process that would be held later.
Outside the venue, Lin Lan and others also filmed several actors entering the venue one after another, and were slightly shocked by the cast.
The actors who came to the scene were not too young. It is conceivable that they should play supporting roles in the movie.
But the actors who appeared were basically actors whose names these reporters could recognize, and they were also familiar faces that often appear in many big movies.
It can be said that in terms of popularity and acting skills, he is basically a well-known actor.
This kind of lineup, together with the two leading actors Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er, can be regarded as a standard blockbuster lineup.
When the confirmed lineup list was announced on the Internet, it indeed aroused a lot of attention, successfully became a hot search topic, and was highly discussed.
[I was a little worried about the adaptation at first, but I felt relieved after seeing the cast.]
[We actually invited Huang Yang, who just won the Best Supporting Actor this year.]
[I suddenly had a bold guess about this cast.]
[Don’t you think that some key roles have not found matching actors? For example, Watanabe Hiroko’s later boyfriend and so on. 】
[Perhaps the cast is not full? But with so many well-known actors playing supporting roles, the acting skills should be strong. 】
——
After the cast was announced, many fans of Jiang Yuan, and even fans of the original movie, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Apparently they were all worried that if it was Jiang Yuan's first time as a director, if he couldn't recruit any good actors, or if some actors who were not popular but had poor acting skills were cast, the quality of the film might be affected.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all the actors have arrived, it is finally time for the launch conference to begin.
Jiang Yuan, Fu Yunshen and others reviewed the process one last time, and it was time to count down to the stage.
The on-site auditorium is basically composed of media reporters and some industry insiders. There is also a small number of seats where Jiang Yuan distributes some benefits to fans through Yuan Universe.
Synchronizing online and on-site, before the press conference officially started, fans of Yuan Universe also clicked on the live broadcast through a specific invitation channel.
Matching the name of the movie, the style of the invitation was specially made into a love letter opened in an envelope. Fans couldn't help but marvel that even the press conference had a sense of design.
【I'm coming!】
【Congratulations to Director Jiang!】
[Bless Director Jiang and Actor Jiang a smooth start!]
【The venue is so beautifully decorated!】
[I saw the cast in advance, so looking forward to it!!]
——
As soon as he entered the live broadcast room, fans immediately started posting comments, and the popularity of the live broadcast room quickly soared.
This is still just an empty shot of the scene. After a while, soft piano music also sounded on the scene.
As the background music for the stage, Jiang Yuan walked at the front, leading the film producer, assistant director, and a group of actors, including He Jing, onto the stage.
Everyone stood still on the stage, and there was a warm round of applause.
Jiang Yuan, as the person with the most status and the most important status among everyone, also stood in the center of the stage.
Everyone wore more formal clothes on this occasion, and it looked like it was not just a press conference, but even a bit like a movie premiere.
"Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Yuan. Welcome to the launch conference of the movie "Love Letter"!" After the background music stopped, Jiang Yuan raised the microphone and took the initiative to host.
After saying hello, there was another round of applause.
"Next, let's start with our assistant director and introduce himself to everyone." Jiang Yuan then cueed the other people present, raised the microphone one by one, and began to introduce himself.
Starting from their respective responsibilities and roles, everyone also has a certain understanding of the roles played by the actors.
Among them, Shang Yanner’s self-introduction attracted the most attention.
Because "Love Letter" was published through an essay competition in Sakura, the book itself still uses the cherry blossom background.
However, for this adaptation and filming, some localization modifications will definitely be required.
For example, the name of a character like Fujii Shu who sounds like Sakura at first glance was replaced with a name like Lin Shu.
The reason why Shang Yan'er's self-introduction attracted more attention is because when introducing her roles, she introduced three roles at once.
One of them is Lin Shu when he was a girl and when he grew up, and the other is the character corresponding to Hiroko Watanabe in the book story.
Of course, such surprise is limited to viewers who don’t know much about the original work.
After hearing that Shang Yan'er was an actress for the first time and had to play so many roles, I was a little surprised.
As for readers who know the story of "Love Letter", they all know that the two characters, Fujii Shu and Watanabe Hiroko, are somewhat like a queen in appearance.
So it can be considered that I already knew the role that Shang Yan'er was going to play, so I wasn't too surprised.
After everyone on the stage introduced their respective roles or responsibilities, the microphone returned to Jiang Yuan's hands again.
Jiang Yuan needs to give a more complete introduction again.
"Let me introduce you again, I am actor Jiang Yuan, and the character I play in this movie is Lin Shu."
Jiang Yuan first reported the name of his character, although some fans who were familiar with the books found that there seemed to be a missing character that was not claimed.
However, Jiang Yuan’s attention was quickly attracted by the series of introductions that followed.
"Of course, in this movie, in addition to being an actor, I will also meet you in my new capacity as a director." Jiang Yuan finished speaking into the microphone and paused slightly.
During this pause, more warm applause erupted from the scene again, blessing Jiang Yuan's new identity.
The fans in the audience also waved their light sticks for Jiang Yuan at this moment and shouted out the words of support they had prepared in advance.
Fans cheered loudly in the venue, which surprised Jiang Yuan. He was stunned for a moment but immediately expressed his gratitude to the fans with a smile.
At the same time, fans watching the live broadcast online were also struggling to refresh the barrage, and Yun participated in the support.
After responding to the cheers from the audience, Jiang Yuan's self-introduction was not over yet.
"At the same time, I am also responsible for the script and music of this movie." Jiang Yuan quickly explained his identity.
I always feel like I mention it too much, and I feel like I’m a backpacker with a golden left cheek.
After the self-introduction was over, Jiang Yuan continued to hold up the microphone and began to introduce the movie itself.
The big screen behind him also changed with Jiang Yuan's words, visually interpreting it for the audience.
During the introduction to the movie, Jiang Yuan did not talk too much about the plot.
After all, a physical book has been published, so if the audience wants to know about it in advance, they will naturally read it.
Therefore, Jiang Yuan only focused on the complete process from the initial conception of the film to the official preparation of the team.
This gives the audience a certain understanding of how Jiang Yuan decided to shoot this movie.
This part of the introduction did not take up too long. After all, this is not a long press conference.
After Jiang Yuan gave a brief explanation, other actors, such as Shang Yan'er, began to talk about how they connected with this movie.
It is different from other actors who wait until the script is finalized and then start making invitations and contacts.
The connection between Shang Yan'er and this movie is obviously more story-telling.
He directly described how he talked about the movie after "Song of the World" ended, and then worked hard to learn acting skills, progress of the project, etc.
Although the whole process only took place in a few words, to the ears of a CP fan, a lot of details have already been made up for you to chew on.
[Holy crap, isn’t this a movie specially prepared for my sister? 】
[No, if you say that again, I will really get over my head.]
[Ah ah ah, it’s so good. One of them specially adapted the work, and the other studied acting seriously. 】
[No, is it so easy to drink even before the movie is filmed? 】
【Candy giving out at the press conference!】
[This way I really feel like I’ve hit it for real! 】
——
Shang Yan'er's simple explanation made the CP fans watching the live broadcast in front of the screen so excited that they instantly activated their sugar radar.
However, at the scene, everyone took it lightly and did not cause too many waves.
After the introduction, the highlight of the press conference soon came, which was the question-and-answer session from the media.
When Jiang Yuan asked friends from the media at the scene to ask questions, reporters from major media also became energetic in an instant, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heated.
