In the hall of the press conference, Zhang Ran looked at the Chinese reporters at the scene and said slowly: "In our concept, "Future Apocalypse" has three stories, which tell the war between humans and AI from the perspectives of the United States, China, and Russia, and the Chinese story is "Full-Band Blocking Interference". If "Future Apocalypse" does well at the box office after its release, then we will launch a sequel, which is "Full Band Blocking Interference"!"

In recent years, science fiction films have gradually risen in China, and many of the films on "Science Fiction World" have been adapted into movies, but because the domestic market is not large enough, most of the domestic science fiction films are produced at small and medium budgets, and there are relatively few large scenes.

After hearing that Zhang Ran would bring "Full-Band Blocking Interference" to the big screen, the Chinese reporters present were extremely surprised, the People's Liberation Army vs. the robot army, and the domestic super blockbuster is about to be born!

However, in addition to the surprise, the reporters were a little worried, because Zhang Ran said that "Future Apocalypse" had a good box office, and "Full-Band Blocking Interference" could be put on the big screen.

The production cost of "Future Apocalypse" is 350 million, plus 250 million publicity expenses, the total cost is as high as 600 million, in addition, the movie is relatively bloody, it is R rated in North America, and Europe has encountered stricter classification, resulting in a large number of young audiences unable to watch the movie, and the pressure on the movie to return to its original cost is very high. Recently, the movie has suffered a leak of the source of the film, and the leaked version is still a high-definition version, which has a great impact on the box office, and it is difficult to say whether it can be recovered.

A reporter got up and said: "Director Zhang, I think many viewers who watch pirated copies will not enter the cinema themselves, and I believe that "Future Apocalypse" will be very good at the box office." I want to ask, if "Full-Band Blocking Interference" is launched, will you direct it yourself?"

Zhang Ran gave a direct answer: "No, I only be a producer of films, but I will find a suitable director from among domestic directors to direct, so that I can shoot something different." ”

Chinese reporters are a little regretful, a movie let Zhang Ran shoot, and other people shoot, the effect must be different. It's just that everyone can understand that a master-level director like Zhang Ran, few people like to repeat themselves.

Another Chinese reporter stood up: "Director Zhang, we all know that you like science fiction, I don't know if you have watched "The Three-Body Problem", it's really good, I suggest you shoot "The Three-Body Problem", the only domestic director who can shoot "The Three-Body Problem" is you!"

How could Zhang Ran not know about "The Three-Body Problem", after Liu Cixin finished writing it, he first sent him a copy, and then sent it to "Science Fiction World", but Zhang Ran didn't say a word, and directly bought the copyright. After "The Three-Body Problem" became popular, fans often left messages on Zhang Ran's Weibo, hoping that he would make "The Three-Body Problem" into a movie.

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "The copyright of "The Three-Body Problem" is at the peak of the century, and I like it a lot, and I have talked to Da Liu, but I think "The Three-Body Problem" is not very suitable for making a movie, and it may be better to make a sci-fi drama like "Battlestar Galactica". It is still difficult for the domestic TV drama market to support pure science fiction dramas, and "The Three-Body Problem" will definitely not be filmed in a short time, but it will probably be possible in five years. This is the press conference of "Future Apocalypse", don't go off-topic, let's ask questions related to the movie!"

A reporter asked: "Director Zhang, the structure of "Future Apocalypse" is strange, it is divided into two parts, the first half is about war, and the second half is about prison, which feels like two different movies working together. I want to ask, did you do this by purpose? Why did you adopt this structure?"

When Zhang Ran heard this question, he chuckled: "The structure of "Future Apocalypse" is indeed different from other movies, it is not a three-act style, but is divided into two parts. This structure originates from the Song Dynasty, we all know that the Song Dynasty is divided into two que, the upper and lower are echoed before and after, the most common is the narrative of the upper and lower que, and the lyricism of the lower que, such as Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Head", the upper rhyme describes the yearning for the heavenly palace and the enthusiasm for human life, and the lower part describes the thoughts of relatives under the moon. The same goes for Future Apocalypse, where the film is divided into two parts......"

At the end of the screening of "Future Apocalypse", reporters felt that "Future Apocalypse" was not difficult to understand, but now after listening to Zhang Ran's words, almost everyone was stunned.

The vast majority of foreign reporters were completely confused, they didn't understand Song Ci and couldn't understand what Zhang Ran said. The Chinese reporters present were shocked, but looked back at the plot of the movie and found that their understanding of the movie was only scratching the surface, and they did not really understand the movie, nor did they find the real beauty of the movie.

After the press conference, the reporters returned to the press center, ready to write their scripts. Before writing, the reporters sat together and communicated, and the theme and structure of the film were the most discussed.

In the process of communication, the more the reporters discussed, the more they realized that the film was not simple, and the more they discussed, the more they discovered the complexity and ingenuity of the film. In the end, many reporters said that they were dizzy. So a reporter called on everyone to brake quickly, and they can't stop slashing, there are too many things in this movie, and the more you think about it, the more confused you become.

At the same time, many comments written by fans about "Future Apocalypse" appeared on Weibo, with one-sided praise, and the plot, special effects, performances and other aspects became the object of everyone's praise.

"This is the most awesome sci-fi and war movie I've ever seen, "Saving Private Ryan" and "Black Hawk Down" are all scum. In the process of watching the movie, I was full of enthusiasm, the world was spinning, dizzy, tinnitus and dazzling. The tragedy of the movie makes me unbearable to look at it directly, and the cruelty and bloodshed of the battlefield are vividly expressed. The only thing that makes me unhappy is that the movie is about the US military! If it were changed to the People's Liberation Army, I would watch it at least ten times!"

"This is the most shocking and uplifting movie I've ever seen. The most authentic part of human nature is revealed under war. I suddenly felt that war was really terrible, and how beautiful it was to have a peaceful and prosperous world without battlefields, gunpowder, and without killing! How could we still have the heart to care about those gains and losses, and at this moment we are living in an era of peace, and I hope that each and every one of us will cherish life and the lives of others. Highly recommend this movie, be sure to watch IMAX! Only by watching IMAX will you know what a super blockbuster is!"

"My first impression after watching the film was that it was a great film, a near-perfect film, with perfect cinematography, perfect storytelling, perfect sets, perfect scheduling, perfect visuals and sound. Zhang Ran is not only the best director in China, he is the best director in the world! Everyone must watch the IMAX version, it is really shocking!"

Almost all fans are emphasizing that they must go to the cinema and watch IMAX. This makes the propagandists of "Future Apocalypse" particularly happy, and this kind of good word-of-mouth leads to spontaneous publicity from the audience is more effective than throwing money at it. For the average viewer, the reviews of acquaintances and friends are much more credible than the praise of the media and film critics. "Future Apocalypse" suffered a leak of the film's source, piracy is still spreading on the Internet, and whether the movie can pull the audience into the cinema now depends on the audience's word of mouth.

The next morning, Scarlett Johansson woke up very early. After a brief wash, she turned on her computer with a little excitement and browsed through the North American media coverage of "Future Apocalypse".

After the premiere of the film yesterday, the media and guests not only praised the film, but also praised Scarlett Johansson's performance, believing that she contributed the best performance of her acting career, and even a reporter said that she will be the favorite for Best Actress at the Oscar next year.

So, Scarlett Johansson's mind came alive, she has acted in dramas for more than ten years, and she has never won the favor of the Oscar, and she has never been nominated for it, and Natalie Portman, who is also a Hollywood actress born in the 80s, is already the queen of the movie, Anne Hathaway won the Best Supporting Actress, and Keira Knightley is also nominated for an Oscar, but she, the person who rolls in literary films, has never been recognized by the academy, which makes her really embarrassed.

Scarlett Johansson knows that in Hollywood, it is very difficult for handsome guys and beauties to win the Oscar, and the most effective way for an actress to get Oscar recognition is to play ugly. Nicole Kidman pretended to be ugly with a fake nose in the movie "All the Time" and finally won the Oscar, and Charlize Theron was also recognized by the Academy for her amazing ugliness in "The Devil Girl", and finally won the Oscar.

In "Future Apocalypse", Emily not only has a large contrast between the characters before and after, but also has a very complex heart, and more importantly, she is disfigured and has a broken hand, which is a type that is especially favored by the academy. Scarlett Johansson feels that this is really her best chance to hit the Oscars, and at least there is a good chance of being nominated.

Scarlett Johansson soon discovered that the North American media had a large number of front-page headlines on the opening ceremony of the festival, and it was unanimously praised, believing that although the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival was a fledgling, it would shorten the distance between it and the top international film festivals in the shortest possible time and would play an important role in the world film industry.

However, what struck Scarlett Johansson as strange was that there were very few film reviews of "Future Apocalypse" in the North American media, only two, and they were both introductory in nature, talking in general terms, without any in-depth interpretation.

Scarlett Johansson was very puzzled, there were obviously a lot of North American media who were present yesterday, and the reporters responded very enthusiastically, but why didn't many media give comments, what is going on?

Isn't "Future Apocalypse" so good, and everyone's praise for the movie is polite? No! "Future Apocalypse" is definitely that good! Scarlett Johansson is really a little confused, what the hell is going on?

After breakfast, Scarlett Johansson was interviewed by the media with the crew of "Future Apocalypse". In the interval of the interview, she raised her question: "Have you noticed? There are many reports about the opening ceremony of the film festival in North America, but there are very few reviews about "Future Apocalypse", only two, what is going on?"

Matt Damon didn't go online and didn't know about it, so he said in surprise: "No, the media response is very enthusiastic, and the directors and guests present also think that "Future Apocalypse" is a masterpiece, how can there be no film reviews?"

"It's true, there are only two comments, both of which are general. Scarlett Johansson looked at Zhang Ran and asked, "Director, do you know what's going on?"

Zhang Ran spread his hands and said, "I don't know, if you don't say it, I don't know there is such a thing." ”

Robert De Niro was stunned when he heard Scarlett Johansson's words, and he remembered an incident from the past, such a thing once appeared. That was many years ago, when he was still a fledgling young actor. He looked at Scarlett Johansson and Matt Damon, then at Zhang Ran, and said slowly: "In the distant 1968, after a movie was released, the media and film critics across the United States also fell into a strange silence!"

All eyes were on Robert De Niro, waiting for him to speak.

Robert De Niro chuckled, "That movie you should have seen, it's 2001: A Space Odyssey!"
