250 million investment, Qin Xiaobao's work, starring Leslie Cheung, Ge You, Jiang Wen.
This list of names is enough to drive reporters crazy and make movie fans look forward to it.
All the moderately famous media outlets across the country sent representatives to the Magic City and had a great time chatting in the hotel conference room.
For the press conference at two o'clock, someone arrived early and set up the machine at twelve o'clock.
Needless to say, they will take the initiative when it comes to newsworthy press conferences.
In addition, Huyu naturally did not miss the opportunity and sent a live broadcast team to live broadcast the entire event.
Although he has long been afraid to treat Qin Xiaobao as an anchor, the cooperation between the two parties has continued.
Celebrities are not just ordinary people, they also have to pay attention to their appearance.
Even if Qin Xiaobao is willing to show his face every day, Tiger Fish doesn't want it to be so. It will become stale after seeing it too much.
If you come once in a while, no matter what the purpose is, fans will respond better. It can be regarded as a kind of hunger marketing.
Moreover, even if Qin Xiaobao didn't come, Wang Bingbing, Hu Ge, and Phoenix Legend would make guest appearances. Compared with the small amount of money paid, it was worth it.
No other platform would envy you. This is the so-called star effect.
Not only reporters and fans are paying attention, but also many celebrities and directors.
With an investment of 250 million, it is definitely a super-large production among domestic movies. I heard that it is not a special effects route, which is a bit impressive.
If an actor wants to join it, even if he plays a supporting role, there are so many big names in it, all of which are connections!
It's even easier for a director, who doesn't want to make a big production.
Qin Xiaobao can have this opportunity at such a young age, so envy and jealousy are inevitable.
I just lament that life is really unfair.
At 14 o'clock in the afternoon, under the gaze of reporters, Qin Xiaobao took the lead, followed by his brother and other six actors on the stage, and the flash lights kept shining.
Click, click, click.
The reporters were not in a hurry. Before starting, Xiang Yang told him that the press conference would last for ninety minutes and he would have the opportunity to refuse any personal questions.
"Hello fellow journalists, I am Qin Xiaobao, the director of "Let the Bullets Fly"!" Qin Xiaobao took the lead in greeting, and the others finished greeting one by one and took their seats.
Seats are also particular.
In terms of seniority and popularity, Qin Xiaobao and Wang Bingbing should sit at the very edge.
However, he is the director and occupies the absolute C position, and the men have carried forward the virtue of giving priority to women and let Song Jia and Wang Bingbing sit on the left and right.
All in all, Yi Wan's star is very dazzling.
Xiangyang wasted no time and went over the main content he had prepared in advance, including the lineup, investment, actors, etc. He gave some information first to avoid asking repeated questions.
Immediately afterwards, it was announced that reporters would ask questions.
"Hello, Director Qin, I just said that I would invest 250 million. Have all the funds been in place? Where is the biggest cost?"
Money is indeed the highlight.
Qin Xiaobao nodded confidently: "250 million is just a conservative estimate. It is very likely to exceed this number. The cost points you mentioned are quite a lot. The filming location has already started preparations. The filming is expected to start next year and the cycle will be about half a year."
The reporters typed notes quickly.
There is also discussion on the barrage.
"We've been talking for a long time, but the filming hasn't started yet."
"It will be filmed next year, but it won't be released until the year after that. We have to wait."
“I’m so looking forward to this amazing lineup.”
"Just don't wait until the Spring Festival next year."
"It's really not necessarily true."
"How great it would be if this were a premiere!"
"Just looking at the lineup, it's the box office champion."
"Teachers, we have a common question to ask you all. What is the reason that makes you willing to join this work?"
The actors looked at each other, and Ge You picked up the microphone: "Come on, Bingbing will talk first."
Wang Bingbing was ready to watch the fun, but was called out.
"I...just came to learn from the teachers. Such a large production is a particularly good opportunity for new actors."
Jiang Wen smiled: "It seems that I have checked the standard answers in advance. How about I tell you first? In fact, the script of "Let the Bullets Fly" is very interesting."
Leslie Cheung was nodding next to him, knowing what he was going to say.
"At the Busan Film Festival last August, didn't Director Qin win the New Wave Award? After that, he had a meal with me, my brother, and Hu Ge to celebrate.
Let’s chat secretly here.” Jiang Wen turned to look at Qin Xiaobao and said, “Director Qin’s drinking capacity is very average. If the reporters in the audience have the opportunity to be alone with him, I suggest you use alcohol to make sure that you can catch everything.
Moreover, he likes to talk after drinking, so we just chatted that day, that’s it.”
Jiang Wen stretched out his hands to hold his brother on the left and Hu Ge on the right.
"He is just holding the two of us up like this. He must have lost his mind. Normally he would never dare to do it."
Qin Xiaobao and the reporters were all laughing. Wang Bingbing heard about it for the first time and found it very interesting.
Jiang Wen was an actor as he was, and he started acting directly, lowering his head slightly and shaking his body slightly.
"I have a work, do you want to star in Jiang Wen? Do you want to star in Leslie Cheung? Do you want to star in Lao Hu?"
"I bear witness," my brother laughed: "That's what Director Qin shouted directly!"
Lao Hu also nodded repeatedly.
Qin Xiaobao stood up and bowed to them: "I'm sorry, I really can't remember it. I didn't know about it until my agent told me the next day."
"Don't talk yet!" Jiang Wen waved his hand and put it on his brother's shoulder: "Not only you three, I also want to invite Ge You, Carina Lau, and many, many celebrities!"
That’s true, public execution!
Jiang Wen played a drunken Qin Xiaobao vividly, and the reporters were typing away. This was an interesting revelation.
"You don't know what happened next, let me tell you!" Lao Hu was eager to give it a try. He was used to being dissed by Qin Xiaobao, and finally found an opportunity: "On the plane returning home the next day, I described what happened to him, and he didn't know what happened.
No impression at all.
He forgot that the teachers called him brothers, and he forgot how proud he was. I regret now that I didn't take a photo of him acting cowardly, and kept asking if the teachers were angry."
Qin Xiaobao apologized again: "I'm sorry, I will quit drinking in the future."
"No!" Leslie Cheung stopped: "It's fun when you're drunk."
"Yes, yes, it is the source of our happiness."
Ge You was also laughing: "Then I have to find a chance to see it."
Qin Xiaobao was ridiculed and was not angry at all. Instead, he was very happy. The atmosphere at the scene became extremely relaxed because of Jiang Wen's performance.
The reporters were a little surprised. As entertainment reporters, they probably know something about the relationships between celebrities.
Before this, Qin Xiaobao, Jiang Wen, and Ge You had no cooperation or contact. Unexpectedly, they actually had a pretty good relationship.
It seems that the assessment of Qin Xiaobao needs to be upgraded again.
"Director Qin is indeed suitable to be a director," Jiang Wen skipped the topic of drunkenness and continued: "When he was drunk, he spoke slowly, but when he talked about the script, he immediately became very eloquent, and he understood the context of the story and the story.
The characters of the three people at the scene were all explained. At that time, I thought, hmm, it looks very good, but when I wanted to ask again, I was already disappointed."
Song Jia was joking on the side: "Could it be that Director Qin deliberately tricked you three?"
"We have considered this possibility!" Leslie Cheung nodded seriously: "But looking at how drunk he is, I really can't pretend to be drunk, and the story is really good."
"What about Teacher Ge You? You didn't hear Director Qin telling the truth while drunk. How did you convince him?" a reporter continued to ask.
"Me!" Ge You thought for a while: "It's still a character. It's like a custom-made suit. It's tailor-made to suit me. The story itself is also very exciting. There are no absolute teammates around me, so..."
"Teacher Ge!" Qin Xiaobao shouted quickly.
"Yes, yes, I can't say anymore!" Ge You patted his mouth gently.
This is not a routine, it is indeed his quick talk that spoils the story.
How smart the reporters were, they smelled it right away.
"Teacher Ge You, is this a suspense film?"
"Sorry, no comment!" Ge You shook his head: "Anyway, it's very interesting and challenging.
Especially, the three of us have a lot of rivalry scenes, and it is a great honor to be able to star in the same work with Leslie Cheung and Mr. Jiang Wen."
Business exchanges are an indispensable part.
Some reporters remembered it well: "Director Qin, why didn't you see Ms. Carina Lau? Did Song Jia replace her in the relevant role?"
Here comes the tough question.
You can't answer this randomly. Song Jia took care of her emotions at the scene. Carina Lau is the eldest sister, so she also has to take care of her emotions.
"One person's ideas have limitations," Qin Xiaobao said slowly: "It's like a movie script. I wrote the main body, but I still have to rely on the screenwriters to improve it. I also proposed many areas that can or need to be improved.
.
The same goes for selecting actors. Sometimes the word "blind" is suitable to describe the state of being a director.
In some cases, it is easy to get into trouble.
Ms. Carina Lau was indeed my first choice, and I took the initiative to communicate with her. Unfortunately, she happened to be unavailable.
I spent a lot of effort looking for suitable actors, but as everyone knows, I am too new to the industry. I have only been a director for more than a year, and I don't know the actors very well.
So, I chatted with Teacher Jiang Wen, and he introduced me to Miss Song Jia without saying anything.
It only took three days from contact to decision. I believe everyone will be impressed by her acting skills after the movie is released."
"Miss Song Jia, can you say a few words?"
"One morning, I suddenly received a strange phone call, saying he was Qin Xiaobao!" Song Jia smiled slightly: "My first reaction at the time was, this is not a liar, right? Then I said that it was introduced by Teacher Jiang Wen, and there was a role that I wanted to audition for.
After adding WeChat, I immediately took a photo of Lao Hu."
Hu Ge looked confused: "I remembered, no wonder he asked me to pose that day."
"The rest is simple. I tried out the scene. Within half an hour, Director Qin said that the decision was mine." Song Jia looked back at Qin Xiaobao and said, "I was a little surprised at the time. It was too simple."
A reporter wanted to make a sneak attack: "Miss Song Jia, may I ask how much the salary is."
It's a pity that the young lady was not fooled: "Guess!"
"Director Qin, I would like to ask if the Douyin of the past two days was..."
Xiang Yangbian waited for a long time and stood up directly: "I'm sorry, please don't mention topics that have nothing to do with the work. Thank you, next one."
Qin Xiaobao didn't even raise his eyes to look at him. If you don't ask the big bosses, it would be hard to find them, so why bother!
The press conference lasted for a full ninety minutes. Due to confidentiality, the actual plot was not discussed. The recent movements of many actors have also become a topic of concern to reporters. It was also mentioned by the way that "Supernatural Family" will be released in May next year.
A mouthful.
As expected, Wang Bingbing didn't get many questions and spoke less than twenty sentences.
Starting today, the big ship "Let the Bullets Fly" officially sets sail!
