Chapter 137: Boot Conference

Time flew by in a blink of an eye, and it was April 1st.

At this time, the press hall on the first floor of the tourist service center of Longteng Film and Television City, the reporters present were also looking around, and the Longteng Film and Television City was not open to the public at this time, but the publicity work had already begun.

It was the first time for many reporters from home and abroad to come here, and just a tourist service center building was full of a sense of science and technology, which made all the reporters present feel the strength of Longteng Media Group.

The press conference will start at 3 p.m., and before the press conference begins, the film's opening ceremony will be held outside the venue at 2:20 p.m., that is, the worship ceremony before the film starts.

And many reporters came to wait in the morning, but fortunately, they had a lot of food here, and the food was very rich, so the reporters' favorability towards Longteng Media Group also skyrocketed.

If you want it to blow to death, you have to grab their stomachs first, so for the reporters who arrived in advance, there are also all kinds of food here.

As of one o'clock in the afternoon, the conservative estimate of the domestic and foreign reporters present has reached nearly 1,000 people, which can be called a gathering of world journalists, the scene is disturbed and bustling, and everyone is also very curious about the heroine of this movie.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the heroine of "Gravity" also came to the lounge backstage, and because she had more things to do, she came much later than Chen Yongren.

"The big guy is finally here, why is it so late?" Chen Yongren saw the heroine coming, and said jokingly: "It's too late to come, and the boot ceremony has been held?"

"Ahh At this time, Li Bingbing, who was still a little dazed, said with a face full of self-blame that due to work reasons, she had just rushed back from the field.

"Okay, I'm going to tease you, it's still early, hurry up and squint, I see that you didn't sleep well last night." Chen Yongren said.

"It's okay, I'm just a little airsick, I just got off the plane and rushed over, for fear of delay, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life." Li Bingbing, who was relieved at this time, said with a smile.

Chen Yongren also called her the day before yesterday, knowing that her work was full, and it was all originally scheduled, and it was not easy to push it off, so he set the start-up press conference to be held in the afternoon.

This is also the third time that the two have cooperated, and after filming "Interstellar", Li Bingbing focused his work abroad.

In recent years, he has also successfully gained a foothold in Hollywood and become a famous Chinese actor in Hollywood. Being able to make a name for herself in the star-studded Hollywood has something to do with her efforts. Therefore, she also won the title of a desperate Sanniang, so her work is also very full, Chen Yongren also expressed his understanding of this, after all, there are only a handful of Chinese actors who can go abroad.

The two are also old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, so they sit and chat for a while, after all, it's still early.

In fact, when Li Bingbing received a call from Chen Yongren and said that she wanted her to play the heroine, she didn't even think about agreeing directly, first, the two had worked together twice, and she was brainlessly optimistic about Chen Yongren's movie, and second, since Chen Yongren was looking for himself, it meant that this role was suitable for him to play, so he didn't want to agree directly.

Although "Interstellar" has made her internationally famous, she still has to start from scratch in Hollywood, after all, the most important thing in Hollywood is stars, not to mention a Chinese star.

At the same time, Chen Yongren has been on fire in recent years, but she never thought of asking Chen Yongren for help, because she knew that the right one was the best, and the twisted melon was not sweet, if she asked Chen Yongren to help, he would definitely help, but it would also tilt the balance between the two, which would make the friendship between the two become utilitarian.

With the past two years of making a name for herself in Hollywood, Li Bingbing has also won many awards, making her one of the few top actresses in China.

can achieve today's achievements, and her vision of picking scripts still has a lot to do with it, even if she is already an actor, but because of her poor vision, she doesn't pick scripts well, she doesn't cherish her feathers, and in the end, she acts too many bad movies and consumes the audience's popularity.

Therefore, after Chen Yongren gave her the script and shooting plan and other things, she had a strong thought in her heart, she must act, this movie will definitely be very brilliant.

She also understood that Chen Yongren said on the phone that the purpose of making herself exercise more during this time was because this movie was really physically demanding. At the same time, she also sighed very much in her heart, Chen Yongren's whimsy, some people may be able to shoot a classic work in their lifetime, but Chen Yongren can still achieve mass production, which is invincible.

As an actor, she feels that this role is also very challenging for herself. Because this movie lasted for more than an hour, it was her one-man show for a long time, and if it is performed well, it is definitely a work that can win awards, and if it is bad, it will be shameless to face Jiangdong's father, let alone Chen Yongren, because this is a film that Chen Yongren tailor-made for himself.

Of course, this is Li Bingbing's own opinion. If she knew, this was just Chen Yongren's sudden desire to make a space-themed movie, and then he chose to shoot this one first, and then originally wanted his wife to play it, but Gao Yuanyuan wanted to rest and relax, and finally considered that the heroine of this movie has very high acting requirements, and the one who has this strength in her friend list is none other than Li Bingbing, so this pie fell on Li Bingbing's head.

But of course Chen Yongren wouldn't tell Li Bingbing, otherwise it would hurt her heart more, and she didn't know Li Bingbing's thoughts, so in a delicate situation, the two were very grateful to each other.

For Chen Yongren, how can he have so much time to find such a powerful and good-looking actor for a while, and he is a Chinese actor, so when he contacted Li Bingbing, Li Bingbing agreed without thinking about it, which was a very touching thing for him.

For Li Bingbing, this is Chen Yongren's help again, if this movie reproduces the glory of "Interstellar", then as the heroine, she will gain several times the influence she has now, this is the strength of Chen Yongren's movie, it is so good, from this point of view, Li Bingbing is also very grateful to Chen Yongren, especially for himself, and put the start-up press conference in the afternoon, and he was almost late.

As the two chatted, time passed minute by minute.

Soon it was 2:20 p.m., and the start-up ceremony began. Most of the foreign reporters present were not too surprised to see Huaxia's seemingly mysterious opening ceremony for the first time, but there were still a small number of foreign reporters who visited the opening ceremony of Huaxia films for the first time, and they were surprised.

With the completion of the film's kick-off ceremony, it's time for the kick-off press conference to be the highlight of all the reporters' expectations.

At this point, all the reporters returned to the press conference hall and took their seats.

Chen Yongren returned to the backstage to pack up briefly, looked at the time, and at 2:50 in the afternoon, he took a group of leading actors from the backstage to the rostrum and took their seats.

Behind the rostrum, there is still a huge movie poster.

Then the press conference for the launch of "Gravity" officially began.

After entering the interview session, countless reporters were also long guns and short guns, and everyone's attention was on these few people.

Especially Li Bingbing, many people didn't expect that the well-known actress in Chen Yongren's mouth was actually Li Bingbing, but there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

For the third cooperation between the two, reporters are also very interested, and they have asked Li Bingbing what he thinks about this cooperation, and whether this cooperation will have a different feeling compared with the previous two times.

Li Bingbing replied: "This collaboration is more challenging for me personally than before, and I will do my best to present the best performance for the audience..."

"Director Chen, what is the investment cost of this movie?" a reporter asked.

Chen Yongren replied: "Gravity will use IMAX3D filming and broadcasting methods to show you a vast space world. Therefore, a lot of advanced shooting equipment will be used, plus publicity costs, etc., and the production cost of this film is estimated to be about 400 million US dollars. ”

As soon as Chen Yongren's voice fell, the scene was in an uproar again, this investment amount not only refreshed the production cost of Huaxia films again, but also became the film with the highest production cost of Chen Yongren's film, and it was also a top production in Hollywood.

When most of the movies are still impacting or even looking up at the box office of this number, Chen Yongren's film production cost has reached this figure, and I have to say that people are more popular than people.

Although many times, many film producers, not only in Huaxia, but even in foreign countries will have the habit of letting go of their mouths, and they dare to say that an investment of 10 million is a habit of 50 million.

But Chen Yongren's film investment has always been relatively real, and there have even been overspending, so investing such a large amount of money to make a movie is very risky but also rewarding.

In fact, the real production cost of "Gravity" is estimated to be about 200 million US dollars, and the real huge investment is in the publicity funds, although Chen Yongren is now very famous, but the success of a movie is inseparable from publicity, so the money for publicity cannot be saved no matter what.

Chen Yongren dared to invest so much, which shows that he is very optimistic about the movie money scene, so the reporters didn't ask, why are you so bold and playing so much, is this just a gimmick, will there be a lot of water in it?

In the cognition of reporters, such a large investment is worthy of Chen Yongren's identity, so the reporter also asked: "Director Chen, do you have a goal for the box office of the movie? Can it surpass "Jurassic World"?"

Chen Yongren said with a smile: "First of all, the success of "Jurassic World" is caused by many factors, so whether "Gravity" can surpass it, I don't dare to pack tickets, but here I will set a small goal for the movie, with a box office of more than 1.5 billion US dollars!"

The reporters in the audience were in a commotion in an instant, and they were all startled by Chen Yongren's small target.

", it's only $1.5 billion when you open your mouth, this small goal is too 'small'!" A foreign reporter who appeared at Chen Yongren's film press conference for the first time was stunned.

For most reporters, this is a routine operation, this is the Chen Yongren they know, who is so sassy and so domineering.

"Director Chen, why did you suddenly think of making a space-themed movie?" a reporter asked.

Chen Yongren said with a smile: "The shooting of this subject first comes from my own very interest in this subject, and some time ago, the news that a Mars rover was successfully launched by the China National Space Administration also made my heart boil and inspired."

Over the years, our country has made remarkable achievements in space exploration, which makes me proud as a Chinese person, and at the same time, I have a lot of thoughts about space.

So, by the way, I actually wrote two movie scripts about space this time, this is one of them, and there is another movie about Mars, which will also start filming in the near future, so stay tuned. ”

There was a commotion in the audience again, everyone was talking, and the camera was also shooting non-stop, but I didn't expect that there would be additional gains, I actually wrote two at a time, and there was a space-themed movie waiting to be filmed, and the reporters were also frantically tapping on the keyboard and recording the speed on the computer.

Because there was a shooting task in the afternoon, the press conference only lasted for an hour, although countless reporters were still unsatisfied, and there were still a basket of questions not asked, but there was no way that the time had come, and the news had been enough, so after the press conference, a group of reporters left satisfied.

A group of media reporters have gone back to their respective homes to catch up with the article.

Not long after the press conference ended, "Gravity" was ready to start filming. Take a look at the latest chapter of "The Legend of China Entertainment: Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
