Chapter 278: Confrontation, Attack (Asking for Support)
The press conference of "Thief Spy" was held at the Tianyue Hotel, and the press conference of "No Thieves in the World" was scheduled at the Xingcen Hotel.
The two hotels are not far apart.
At this time, at the meeting of "Thief Spy", many reporters have been in place one after another, and the actors backstage have almost arrived.
However, Luo Qing has not yet arrived.
Dai Junlong, Mao Ziling, Li Xiu, and Jiang Kun have qualifications far beyond Luo Qing a few streets, and I am afraid that even top directors do not dare to pose on these people.
Besides, at such an important moment of the press conference, in the eyes of these people, you are a new generation of directors who are late?
What's going on?
Although everyone did not express their dissatisfaction, Luo Qing's brother Luo Hai frowned slightly, and he asked the assistant in a low voice, "What's the matter?" Why hasn't Luo Qing arrived yet?"
"Luo Dao said that he had something to do, but he should have arrived. ”
The assistant glanced at the time and said.
"What's bigger than that? Did he get kicked in the head by a pig?"
Luo Hai was a little angry, and at the same time he hurriedly dialed Luo Qing's phone, but the call was refused.
After a while, Luo Qing also pushed the door in.
"Where have you been?"
Luo Hai said in a low voice: "The actors have arrived, how can you be the last to arrive as a director? And I told you before that this lineup is an opportunity for you, and it is also the top priority for us Luo Brothers Pictures, but you are a newcomer in the film industry after all, if you can't suppress them, then I'm afraid it will be the biggest crisis." ”
"Brother, I know. ”
Luo Qing nodded lightly, and then first greeted the actors, and at the same time said to his brother: "I saw Lin Chen!"
"What? You went to see Lin Chen?"
Luo Hai was a little surprised.
30 minutes ago, Lin Chen, who was preparing to participate in the press conference of "No Thieves in the World", received a call from Luo Qing and was also a little surprised, and the two met at the 'Meile Cafe' in the middle of Tianyue Hotel and Xingcen Hotel!
After seeing Lin Chen, Luo Qing stood up and shook hands and said: "Director Lin, I have always wanted to talk to you since the TV series "Bright Sword", your talent as a director and screenwriter is too great, but I have never had a chance, and soon the two of us will have a development conference at the same time, so I thought it would be better to say a few words in advance." ”
Lin Chen also smiled and said: "Director Luo is polite, I want to congratulate you on your first movie to direct such a powerful movie!"
The two sides sat down, and the press conference of both sides would start at the same time in 30 minutes, so Luo Qing didn't talk nonsense, he got straight to the point.
The general meaning is that we rely on our own means, since we are opponents, then show our swords, I respect you, so I will do my best, but in private, I admire your talent as a director.
The two sides are a gentleman's dispute, everyone relies on their own abilities, whether they have their own schemes or conspiracies, but they are all for the good of their children.
Lin Chen also agreed.
Good competition is still relatively good for the Chinese film market.
In the original time and space, it was Xu Zheng who created the handover ceremony of the champion.
Don't care how fucked up "Monster Hunt" is, but when he reached the top, Xu Zheng immediately sent a Weibo to congratulate the new champion, and at the same time released a special "Champion Handover" poster.
The poster combines elements from the two films "Thai Embarrassment" and "Monster Hunt", and the little huba wearing a crown stands on Xu Zheng's bald head and dances happily.
As for Xing Ye's "Mermaid" when it reached the top, "Monster Hunt" also made a special poster.
Then, after "Wolf Warrior 2" reached the top, "Mermaid" released a celebration poster with the text "The country is rich and the people are strong, and the fish are honored!".
No matter what, the momentum of this championship handover is also full of generosity.
At this time and space, Lin Chen still has a long way to go if he wants to reach the top of the Chinese box office, the emerging generation director Luo Qing has already unfolded his fangs, and several others in the Zhongxing Dynasty are not mentioned for the time being, and Lu Wei, who is now filming the sequel to "Eating Immortals", also wants to sprint to the next level.
If you have an opponent, you won't be lonely.
Regardless of whether Luo Qing's words were true or false, Lin Chen didn't care about it.
Anyone can say beautiful things, and the biggest possibility of the current Luo Qing is that he feels that he has the chance to win, so he wants to show the demeanor of the winner.
"However, I, Lin Chen, am the protagonist. ”
In the backstage of the Xingcen Hotel, Lin Chen laughed when he thought about the meeting just now.
"Director Lin, the press conference is about to start in a while, and there are about 40 media on the scene, but there will be one first-line media and film magazines in the future. ”
Lin Zhongjun said at this time: "I have already arranged the problem, but Director Lin, are you really sure?"
"Mr. Lin, in terms of filming speed, I'm not targeting anyone. ”
Lin Chen shook his head and smiled: "My first few works have proven it. ”
Lin Zhongjun said a little worriedly: "But Luo Qing's filming speed is not bad." ”
"So, then it's up to who's higher, faster, stronger. ”
Lin Chen said seriously: "They chose to show the sword at the press conference, and we will next, then I will also show the sword next, it depends on whether he can take it." ”
On the other hand, Zhang Yuqiang looked quite nervous, he even trembled a little, on the one hand, he couldn't stop trembling with excitement, and on the other hand, thinking about the feeling of the spotlight when he was on the red carpet just now, Zhang Yuqiang was a little worried.
"Nervous?"
He Hong, who was on the side, walked over and looked at Zhang Yuqiang, who was a little out of place, and asked.
"Yes, I told myself over and over again not to be nervous, not to be nervous, but I couldn't do it. ”
Zhang Yuqiang said in a tone of half Mandarin and half hometown: "Teacher He, did you do the same for the first time?"
"Yes, I remember thinking a lot about it when I first went on stage, such as how should I answer questions asked by media reporters, what kind of smile should I show, what should I say first, what should I say later? ”
He Hong remembered his first appearance on stage and said slowly.
"And what about when you go on stage?"
"After I came on stage, I realized that I was thinking too much, because no one paid attention to such a small person as me, and I was not qualified at all. ”
He Hong said with a smile: "So, relax, and as a newcomer, you are really lucky, I have never seen a newcomer who can be the core of a movie, no matter whether you are on stage or not, you have to adapt as soon as possible, because being calm and comfortable in front of the camera is the basic skill of an actor." ”
"Thank you, Mr. He, I understand. ”
Zhang Yuqiang and He Hong felt much more relaxed after chatting with him, and he also said with gratitude.
He Hong laughed: "Just call me He Hong, or call me Brother He, there are so many teachers in our crew, I am not qualified." ”
Back then, if He Hong didn't have the kind of thing that Donnie came out of, I'm afraid he would be at least second-tier now, so he wouldn't be able to appreciate the warmth and coldness of people over the years.
It is precisely because of this that He Hong couldn't help but enlighten a few words when he saw Zhang Yuqiang's appearance.
It's all little people, warm each other.
6 minutes later, the press conference of "No Thieves in the World" officially began.
"Thank you media colleagues for attending the press conference of "No Thieves in the World", and I would like to introduce you to Lin Chen, the director and screenwriter of "No Thieves in the World", ......
Lin Zhongjun took on the role of host as the producer, and introduced the director and screenwriter Lin Chen, Gao Jingjing, He Hong, Zhang Yuqiang, Shen Zeping, Guo Peng and other actors in turn.
Many media at the scene also whispered.
Sure enough, it turned out to be the rustic Zhang Yuqiang. ”
"It shouldn't be, it is said that the investment in this "No Thieves in the World" may be more than 60 million, so why is this impossible?"
"yes, it shouldn't be at all. ”
"Drunk, Lin Chen, is this floating?
"With my understanding of Lin Chen, I don't believe that there will be no big moves in the future. ”
Many reporters present were discussing, and at this time, Lin Zhongjun said with a smile after the introduction: "Now let's enter the free question session." ”
"Mr. Lin, hello, I am a reporter from Penguin Entertainment News, I would like to ask how much is the investment of "No Thieves in the World"?
A female reporter stepped forward and asked.
""No Thieves in the World" will start on April 2, and the investment and production cost of this film will not be less than 100 million. ”
Lin Zhongjun said to everyone: "This will be a blockbuster, a rare blockbuster in the industry." ”
As soon as these words came out, no one asked questions at the scene.
The silent atmosphere made Lin Zhongjun frown slightly, and he whispered to Lin Chen on the side: "It seems that they are all waiting for the press conference of "Thief Spy". ”
"Normal. ”
Lin Chen said lightly: "Don't worry, today's initiative is ours." ”
"Director Lin!!"
At this moment, a male reporter present stood up and said: "I am a reporter from 'Love Movie Network', and I just announced at the press conference of "Thief Spy" that the production cost is 150 million, and at the same time, director Luo Qing advertised that you are his opponent this time, and he hopes to fight with you. ”
Rumble!
The scene was also boiling.
It is rare for the production cost to reach 150 million, or in addition to the sky-high production price of Hollywood blockbusters, the domestic film investment of more than 100 million is very powerful, just like the production cost of "No Thieves in the World" claims to be over 100 million.
"Sure enough, it's sky-high, but it's normal to think about it. ”
"Yes, after all, the squad is strong. ”
"Luo Qing has made it clear that he wants to fight Lin Chen, which is also rare. ”
"How will Lin Chen respond?"
……
As for the male reporter who asked the question, he looked at the silent Lin Chen and smiled: "So, Director Lin, do you choose to fight?"
No matter what the movies of both sides look at, it seems that Lin Chen is the one who has been crushed.
It's also interesting to think about.
During "33 Days of Broken Love", Lin Chen was questioned as a dog.
At the time of "Embroidered Spring Knife", Lin Chen was considered a suicide release, after all, martial arts was dead at that time.
But these two movies Lin Chen was successful.
It stands to reason that everyone should blow a wave of the third movie at this time, which is the king.
But halfway through, he made a trip to bite the gold.
This time the gold bite is still a rhythm of desperately stepping on the forest dust.
At this time, some people were congenitally on Luo Qing's side, and it was normal for a lineup with an investment of more than 100 million, Dai Junlong, Mao Ziling, and Li Xiu to stand on this side.
What do you say?
In the original time and space, a group of movies with an investment of more than 100 million yuan and all of them are powerful movie coffees, there is nothing wrong with standing on this side, right?
But there are still some people who are willing to believe in Lin Chen.
Everyone thinks that there are talents who can do whatever they want.
So, now Luo Qing of "Thief Spy" said that he wanted to fight Lin Chen, showing his fangs and wanting to step on Lin Chen's position, what will happen to Lin Chen?
"First of all, what everyone doesn't know is that I just met Director Luo 35 minutes ago, and we expressed our appreciation for both parties, so our fight in this movie is a gentleman's dispute. ”
Lin Chen said with a smile.
This makes everyone a little confused?
What does it mean?
How many of them are gentlemen's friends?
Therefore, many media think that Lin Chen is afraid to fight?
No, this is not Lin Chen's character.
I only heard Lin Chen continue: "So "No Thieves in the World" will be released on this year's Qixi Festival, that is, on August 17th, the Qixi Festival, so if Director Luo Qing wants to fight, let's release it together." ”
"Huh??"
The reporter who asked the question was slightly flustered.
Released on August 17th?
As a result, it took only 4 months from the start of filming to the release of "No Thieves in the World".
But thinking about Lin Chen's fast gunner style, then this is normal.
Impotence.
This is Lin Chen's yang strategy, don't you want to fight me?
Then it will be released together on August 17th.
With the experience of his previous life, Lin Chen can reasonably avoid all unreasonable during filming, he can directly fine edit when editing, and he does not need post-dubbing when shooting.
Just ask, can these "Thief Spy" directed by Luo Qing do it?
is faster than that, Lin Chen really hasn't lost anyone in this time and space.
At the same time, Tianyue Hotel.
"Director Luo, just now Lin Chen confirmed the release schedule of this movie at the press conference of "No Thieves in the World". ”
The reporter of the "Film Daily" stood up and said.
Luo Qing said: "Oh, did Lin Chen choose the New Year file or the National Day file?"
"Tanabata stall!!"
The words of the reporter of "Film Daily" caused the scene to boil completely, and even Luo Qing's expression changed.
"What? Tanabata stall ???"
"This Lin Chen's fast filming is really true. ”
"It takes two or three months to prepare for a movie, and he is going to be released directly on Qixi Festival??"
"Lin Chen is really fast. ”
The scene discussed whether or not it happened, but as for Dai Junlong, Mao Ziling, Li Xiu, Jiang Kun and others, they did not express any opinions.
Today's protagonists are not them.
"Yes, it's the Qixi Festival, and Lin Chen announced that the movie will be released on the day of the Qixi Festival. ”
The reporter of "Film Daily" looked at Luo Qing and said: "At the same time, Lin Chen has already responded to the battle, so Director Luo, is "Thief Spy" also set for Qixi Festival?"
"This ......"
Luo Qing didn't know what to say at this time, because according to the time, the filming of "Thief Spy" must have been in time, but I am afraid that it will be enough in the later stage.
Not to mention that he is just a director, he doesn't count the schedule and publicity.
"That's right, we were originally preparing for the release of the Qixi Festival. ”
At this time, Feng Qiang, the producer of "Thief Spy" and vice president of Imperial Capital Film and Television, said with a smile: "But our goal is to go deeper, today's Hollywood blockbusters are powerful, and a large number of Hollywood movie soldiers are pressing the mirror, not only that, but Bollywood next door is also not to be outdone, seizing most of the film market, so it is time for domestic films to change, what we have to do in this "Thief Spy" is to revive domestic blockbusters." ”
"Mr. Feng is right. ”
Luo Qing also said with a little excitement: "The blockbuster era has come, I admire Director Lin Chen very much, and we also met before the press conference began, as Lin Chen said, we are a gentleman's battle this time." ”
When it came to this, the on-site media was still a little speechless.
Where is such a flashpoint?
There are some things that Luo Qing is inconvenient to say, but Feng Qiang definitely wants to say them.
"However, since it is a confrontation, then there must be a winner or a loser, and there can only be one winner in the Qixi Festival, that is, "Thief Spy?"
Feng Qiang smiled and said: "This time "Thief Spy" will likely change the pattern of domestic films, this time "Thief Spy" invited first-line actors in the industry to shoot a blockbuster, since it is a blockbuster, the investment must be over 100 million, and it is a real 100 million. ”
Then, it's time for the stars to perform.
Dai Junlong said: "I like the script of "Spy Shot" very much, and I will give you a different image in the movie. ”
Mao Ziling said: "Yes, I like this script very much, so I chose to hand over the first play of my comeback to "Thief Spy"!"
Li Xiu, Jiang Kun, Cai Yuan, Ouyang Ying and others also blew a wave in turn.
In short, Luo Qing is full of spirits, and the time, place, and people are all gathered together.
This is the opportunity God gave him, if he can't seize such an opportunity, then Luo Qing might as well die.
This battle is the battle in which I, Luo Qing, became famous in the director's circle.
Xingzen Hotel.
Lin Chen also said to the media at the scene: "In fact, most of the stories of "No Thieves in the World" take place on the train, which is mainly about the story between a migrant worker and two thieves.
As a director, what we have to do is to promote the core values of socialism and promote positive energy. ”
"Director Lin, is this story so simple?"
A reporter asked: "Is the core of this story the story of goodness?"
"Yes, the story is simple, but the plot is not ordinary. ”
Lin Chen shook his head slightly and said: "I can only tell you that this movie will let you see the thief technique, and it is also a healing story." ”
Anyway, how can you do it if you don't brag about the press conference?
Later, it will be the part of the media interviewing the actors.
Zhang Yuqiang was indeed nervous, but as He Hong said, he was completely ignored.
Gao Jingjing, He Hong, Shen Zeping, Guo Peng and others are all more topical than Zhang Yuqiang.
The most important thing is that Zhang Yuqiang's accent is too strong, and when the media interviewed, they found that some words were incomprehensible.
"Box Office ???"
When Lin Chen heard that the media was predicting the box office at this time, he smiled: "I'll tell you when the launch conference comes, and at the same time, the launch conference of "No Thieves in the World" will also be a launch conference that has no predecessors and no one in the future." ”
