The first season of "Star Academy" has come to an end, leaving endless topics to talk about.

Lin Xiao didn't care about him.

Strictly speaking, "Terminator" is Lin Xiao's first blockbuster!

Yes, the previous "Once Upon a Time" and "Dark War", both in terms of cost and scenes, seem to be incomparable with "The Terminator".

"The Terminator" is a science fiction film, but it is more of a shootout, a car chase and other scenes.

And unlike "Dark War", there are few battle scenes, on the contrary, "Terminator" is a popcorn that rages all the way from beginning to end.

There are not so many literary dramas.

Therefore, it is naturally more difficult to shoot, especially for Lin Xiao, which is a huge challenge.

The mechanical skeleton and model aurora effects of "Terminator" are ready for use here.

And the investment budget for "Terminator" will exceed $100 million!

This can be regarded as the first major production of Lin Xiao's live-action movie with a cost of more than $100 million.

In fact, the star's salary is not too much, and Kylie Rogan receives a friendship price of $12 million plus 1% of the North American box office share.

The others are Lin Xiao's own high salary as a director, like Xu Jin and Wu Fa and other protagonists, in fact, the salary is not enough for a fraction.

The biggest cost of "Terminator" is spent on special effects.

With such a big production, a grand new film launch conference is naturally indispensable.

And Lin Xiao is going to make a science fiction film, and after the news of investing more than 100 million US dollars was released, the outside of the Four Seasons Hotel was already full of media reporters.

Invited media can enter the press conference, but reporters from other tabloid media can only wait outside.

The process of the press conference is very simple, that is, to introduce the investment of "Terminator", and then the star lineup of the film and the leading actors appear.

Then the focus is on the reporter's interview and question session.

"Director Lin, why did you choose to make such a sci-fi film with a robot theme? Is it related to the two robot-related films "Robot Love" and "Time and Space Police" at the beginning of the year?"

"Actually, the idea was very early on, but the inspiration really came from the film "Robot Love". Lin Xiao talked eloquently.

"But "Robot Love" has been complained by many people that it is a romance film dressed in the skin of science fiction, so since "Terminator" is inspired by "Robot Love", is the theme similar to it?"

"'The Terminator' is a hardcore sci-fi film, the theme is not love, and of course, there is certainly no lack of love elements in the film. ”

"Can you give us an overview of the plot of Terminator?"

"Of course there's no problem with this, "The Terminator" is about the future world after the nuclear war, robots rebel against humanity and try to rule the earth, humans take countermeasures, there is a genius scientist among the human race, and he is working on a weapon that imposes all-round sanctions on robots, for this reason, the robot leader, sent the Terminator robot T800 back in time, trying to kill the scientist's mother to prevent the emergence of a human genius scientist. ”

"Humanity has similarly sent its elites back in time to protect the scientist's mother. ”

Lin Xiao's simplicity made all the media reporters a little stunned, and this time Lin Xiao actually directly said the outline of the plot.

Sure enough, "Terminator" is indeed different from "Robot Love", but it is somewhat like a combined version of "Robot Love" and "Time and Space Police".

In fact, the reason why there are no good science fiction films in China is not because Chinese people lack brains, but because of a variety of reasons.

The first reason is the problem of return on investment, there is no shortage of funds in the Chinese film industry, but the premise is that there must be a return, at least a high probability of return.

Otherwise, the investment is big and the risk is greater, who would want to spend money to try?

The second is some sensitive background elements, which need to be resolved.

Of course, the most important thing is money!

Just like "Time and Space Police" because he was reluctant to spend money, it turned out to be scolded.

Although "Robot Love" is a science fiction signboard, in fact, it is at best a romance film with the future world as the backdrop.

Not to mention special effects or something, because the cost is there, and you expect to spend tens of millions to create dazzling special effects, thinking too much.

But "Terminator" is different, when the "Terminator" T800 robot model was unveiled, everyone couldn't help but light up.

Unlike the robots in "Robot Love", which are actually completely real people, but some shots of robot people are retaken as metaphors, the T800 robot model is really full of technology.

The grades were divided all at once.

is also a robot, but "Robot Love" rarely shows the robot in detail, and many times, it is a flash.

And "Terminator" is different, in the follow-up plot, the outer skin of the T800 is broken, revealing the metal endoskeleton inside, and the hero and heroine have to be hunted down.

You can't just do that with makeup.

And the war between humans and robots in "Robot Love" actually seems to be a bit of a child's play, and there is no big scene at all.

But "The Terminator" runs through the whole film from beginning to end, gunfights, car chases, hand-to-hand combat, etc., this is an action sci-fi film, not a romance sci-fi film.

Of course, no one questioned why the two male protagonists of such a big production are unknown?

Xu Jin and Wu Fa were not positive angles before.

In this regard, at Lin Xiao's suggestion, Xu Jin took off his coat, and after several months of fitness, Xu Jin's figure made many female reporters couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Especially his expressionless face, combined with him making various bodybuilding moves, it is simply not too lethal for a woman.

"Xu Jin, this is your first time playing the leading role, and you have never played the leading role before, are you sure you can play this role well?"

"Actually, I played the role of a robot leader in "Robot Love" before, although I am a villain, but they are all robots, and Director Lin found me because of my performance in "Robot Love", he thinks I am very suitable. I'm confident that I can play the role of an emotionless killer robot. ”

Of course, Kylie Logan is also the one who has been interviewed the most, after all, in the whole film, she is her biggest name.

"Well, I admit it, the reason why I took this film has a lot to do with Lin, because he is a genius, and this is his first big production, I have always believed that those who succeed will always succeed, so why not say yes?"

"Director Lin, the investment in "Terminator" is more than 100 million US dollars, so how much do you think the final box office of "Terminator" can reach?"
