The Gravity PR campaign has officially begun, and for Warners, Gravity has not only brought them huge benefits, but now is also a time to test their abilities.

Warner's PR battle has begun, and many measures have already begun to be used.

Chen Yongren came to the United States for a few days, participated in some public relations activities, and returned to Beijing on February 6, the day of the Lantern Festival.

The next day, Chen Yongren came to the company and called the assistant director of "The Shawshank Redemption" over and said: "Zongren, "The Shawshank Redemption" is scheduled to start on February 15, and you will be responsible for following up all the specific work. ”

"Huh?" Wang Zongren was surprised, with a kind of excitement and disbelief, the assistant director of "The Shawshank Redemption", generally speaking, it is impossible to do this kind of thing by himself.

And the real situation is that Chen Yongren was too lazy to do this kind of thing himself, so he pushed all the things to the assistant director, which can be regarded as a test and exercise for him.

Now that Chen Yongren is making new films, the assistant directors of the film are basically selected from some directors in the new star director project, which can be regarded as cultivating some talents for the company and Huaxia Film.

February 15, Qinshan Prison.

At this time, the Qinshan Prison was no longer overgrown with weeds and the accumulation of waste and garbage.

After urgent repairs, the whole prison was completely new, and although it was not much renovated, the discarded materials were cleaned up.

At this time, thousands of people came to the prison, bustling and crowded, and the originally abandoned prison is now very lively.

Today is the opening day of Chen Yongren's "The Shawshank Redemption", and many media reporters rushed over in advance from all directions immediately after receiving the invitation.

The cast of this movie is also very strong, Liang Jiahui, Chen Daoming, Liu Dehua, Wang Zhiwen, Liang Chaowei, etc., from the starring role to the supporting role, all actors, such a strong lineup is also extremely surprising, it seems that Chen Yongren has not gathered so many actors in a movie since "Infernal Affairs", which also makes fans excited.

So today's start-up also attracted countless fans to come and watch.

At half past one in the afternoon, the prayer officially began. After a series of start-up processes, more than half an hour has passed.

After worshipping God, the movie began its regular kick-off press conference.

Chen Yongren was the first to come out to deal with the reporter's questions.

"Director Chen, how much is the investment in this film? And then are you going to start making literary films?" the reporter asked.

"The investment in this movie is about 100 million, and then if I shoot this movie, I will still shoot it in the style of a commercial film, so I don't have to worry about being drowsy when I watch it. After Chen Yongren finished speaking, the reporters in the audience laughed.

"Then may I ask Director Chen, what is your movie about?"

"It's about the process of a person's self-redemption in prison, and 95% of the plot of this movie will happen in prison, which is why Liang Jiahui is the male lead. Chen Yongren said, and Liang Jiahui on the side also smiled helplessly.

"Director Chen, what do you think of "Gravity" winning ten Oscar nominations, and are you confident of winning the award?" the reporter asked.

"First of all, here is the "Shawshank Redemption" movie launch conference, so don't ask questions that have nothing to do with it, but you can answer this question, of course it's a very happy thing to be nominated, as for whether you can win the award, it depends on the preferences of the judges, whether you win the award or not, getting nominated is already the biggest affirmation of the movie. ”

"Director Chen, what are your expectations for this movie? After all, many fans are looking forward to your commercial blockbuster. A reporter asked.

"Actually, I chose it because I like it, so I didn't say what I wanted to shoot in a fixed way. I usually have a lot of good ideas, but I don't always shoot them, I basically follow my feelings. I think I should shoot him, otherwise I will regret it, so fans are looking forward to commercial blockbusters, and I look forward to it, but I won't keep shooting, otherwise it will be easy to feel disgusted..."Chen Yongren said.

After answering a few reporters' questions, Chen Yongren stepped back and left the stage to a few leading actors.

Reporter: "May I ask Mr. Chen Daoming, what role did you play in the movie this time?

"I play the prison warden, I like this role very much, and I have never played this type of role before, so I am also very grateful to Director Chen for giving me another opportunity to challenge this time, and I will play him well with my heart. Chen Daoming replied with a smile.

Reporter: "May I ask Hua Zai, what role do you play in the movie this time?"

Liu Dehua: "I play a little brother in prison, although I don't have many scenes, but I like it very much. ”

Reporter: "Hello Hong Lei, is the role you play in the movie a decent character or a villain?"

Sun Honglei: "I'm a subordinate of the prison warden, I don't know if it's my appearance that influences Director Chen's judgment on me, he always asks me to play a villain, it's rare to play a police officer or bad..."

Liu Dehua said with a smile on the side: "The main thing is that you don't look like a good person." ”

The reporters in the audience also smiled, which also shows that Sun Honglei's villain image is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Reporter: "Hello Liang Jiahui, this is your first time cooperating with Director Chen, do you have any thoughts on this cooperation?"

Liang Jiahui: "Actually, when Director Chen came to me and said that he wanted me to play the male lead, I was also stunned. You must know that it is not easy to become the protagonist of Director Chen's works, so I am very grateful to Director Chen for giving me this opportunity, I will definitely play this role well with my heart and live up to Director Chen's help to me......"

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the launch conference officially ended, and then the movie officially started. And the reporters and fans were quickly invited out of the prison, after all, so many people were in there that they would 100% disturb the filming of the film.

The scene to be filmed today is the 30-year-old, 50-year-old, and 60-year-old parole of Li Ruide played by Liang Chaowei.

The first scene was the parole at the age of 60, which had already been filmed, and because of experience, it was quickly passed.

After the first scene was filmed, the second scene was the 40-year-old parole, that is, Li Ruide's parole at the beginning of the movie, and Chen Yongren was also talking with Liang Chaowei on the side.

"This time, Li Ruide is full of expectations from the outside, so he attaches great importance to this parole, hoping that what he says can impress the parole officer, and he tries every means to organize language to please the parole officer, so he is very nervous..."Chen Yongren said to Liang Chaowei.

"I think I need to add a kind of restraint, a little bit of awe. Wang Zhiwen also said on the side.

"There's no need to be in awe, what kind of person is Li Ruide? He's just a little boss in the prison, and he will be in awe of the prison guards? It's okay to be restrained, and add a little fear..." Chen Daoming also said on the side.

In order to make this role more full, Chen Yongren and several actors also studied this scene together.

"In this movie, I don't want to be fast, I just want to be good, so I want every actor to play in an extraordinary state and play the best. This is what Chen Yongren said at the internal mobilization meeting.

So there are some scenes, and a few people need to sit down and discuss with each other before they start filming, and after this tone is set, the actors naturally cheer up and seriously figure out their roles.

During this time, Liang Jiahui was also figuring out some attributes of the protagonist 'Shawshank' day and night, and striving to present the best performance effect.

With the excellence of the entire crew, although the time has dragged on, the filming progress has not slowed down, and it is basically a pass.

After filming a few scenes, Chen Yongren also went to pay for the reception banquet that the leaders of the Demon City made for him in the evening.

After learning that "The Shawshank Redemption" was launched this afternoon, the leaders of the magic city also arranged a banquet for Chen Yongren in the evening.

Although Chen Yongren does not like this kind of socialization, living in a social circle, it is inevitable to deal with these characters.

"Director Chen, come, have a drink!" Wang Chuance said.

"Wang Shi, be merciful..."Chen Yongren said with a smile.

"I also want to thank Director Chen for his investment in the magic capital. Wang Chuance said.

"As long as Director Chen's new movie is released, the tourist area will be basically completed, and with Director Chen's appeal, this tourist area will definitely become popular. Wang Chuance said happily.

"Haha, Mayor Wang has won the award, and the success of the tourist area is mainly due to your policy..."Chen Yongren also smiled.

After a while, everyone was satisfied, and only they knew the content of the chat............
