529 [Boot Conference]
The staff of d&T (Dragon Tiger Films) has not yet arrived, and the helicopter is also on its way by sea. However, on the evening of Wang Zijun's return to the Maldives, actor John . Travolta with Gregory. Pike arrives with him, followed by Shangewenton and Steven. Siegel.
John. Travolta was in John Woo's version of "The Faces of the Heroes", and Nicholas. Cage plays the opposite role. Last summer John. Travolta's "The Hot Prodigal Son" was a hit in Europe and the United States, setting off a global disco dance craze**, with a total global box office of $395 million. John. Travolta also became a first-line star, and this time Wang Zijun invited him to play the villain and paid a salary of $800,000.
This is still John. Travolta doesn't have many scenes, otherwise he alone would have to come up with more than a million dollars in salary.
As for Gregory. Pike, the old guy, is playing the role of the black hand. The old housekeeper of the party family is purely a friendly cameo, and there are only a few shots before and after, and he came to the Maldives more for tourism.
Shange Winton and Steven. Siegel was the two, and they later married Arnold. Schwarzenegger and Stallone are known as the four major action stars in Hollywood.
Arnold. Schwarzenegger is now filming "The Terminator" invested by Dragon Tiger Films, and he can't get out of it for the time being. And what about Stallone? Well, people are already superstars, not to mention that Wang Zijun is reluctant to get a huge salary, even if he comes up with so much money, I'm afraid Stallone won't run to play a gangster for money.
And Shange Winton and Steven. Siegel is much easier, just give tens of thousands of dollars, and as soon as he heard that it was a movie about Wang Zijun, he came to him.
Neither of them has yet entered the film industry, one boxing in Europe, and the other opening a martial arts gym in Japan in Japan. And the fame is not small, it is easy to find.
"Welcome both to the crew." Wang Zijun looked at the two muscular men. A smile on his face that picked up money. Do you want to sign a ten-year or eight-year contract for them early......
Shang Gen Winton is 19 years old and fell in love with martial arts because he watched Bruce Lee's kung fu movies. He first learned karate, then taekwondo and Muay Thai, and swept the European arena early last year. After losing streaks, his signature 360-degree kick earned him quite a few fans.
And Steven. Siegel had a much richer experience than Shangewenton. This person is almost 30 years old, and more than ten years ago he went to Japan to study Zen Buddhism and learn kung fu, and now he has opened his own kung fu school in Japan. and got a black belt in Aikido, Karate, Judo, and Kendo.
The two were invited by Wang Zijun. It's all for the villain to be the ultimate thug.
Laura, who is far away in Spain to participate in the Miss Spain beauty pageant. Funa also arrived, and as for the final of the pageant, to hell with it, she just thought it was fun to participate in the pageant.
The press conference for the launch of "Love in Paradise" was held at the Gayoom Presidential Palace, the former office of the British colonial governor, a colonial-era British building.
When Wang Zijun arrived with the main creative staff. Dozens of media reporters from all over the world have gathered at the press conference.
The President of the Maldives, Gayoom, was personally present and sat in the center. Wang Zijun and the Maldives' propaganda minister, Aiyub, sat on his left and right.
Propaganda Minister Ayub served as the moderator of the press conference and said in English: "Today is Zachry. On the opening day of Wang's new film "Love in Paradise", thank you to all media friends for being able to attend the meeting. I now give the floor to Mr. Gayoom, President of the Republic of Maldives. ”
"Papapa......" There was a round of applause, Gayoom broke the microphone and said in fluent English, "Huan Drink came to the beautiful Maldives, Mr. Wang is an excellent director, and "Love in Paradise" will also be an excellent movie." The Maldives will fully support Mr. Wang in making this excellent film. I would like to open the press conference, and I would like to introduce the relevant information of the film by Mr. Wang. ”…,
"You are all old friends, I won't say polite words." Wang Zijun very briefly described the type and selling points of "Love in Paradise", and then introduced the main creators, "This is our female number one, Laura from Spain. Miss Foner ......"
Laura. Ferner smiled and beckoned down.
"This is the second female lead in this film, Demi from the United States. Miss Moore......"
Laura. Funa is also well-known in Europe and the United States because of his appearance in "Fast Food Truck", and he is a familiar face. And Demi. As for Moore, except for those who participated in the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, reporters from Europe and the United States did not know her at all, and they speculated about her origin.
"I think you'll be familiar with this guy I'm sure you're all familiar with. Mr. Travolta, our disco prodigal son ......"
Introduced to John. Travolta, the response was much louder, the reporters applauded, and the camera flashed twice as much as it had just introduced the first two.
"But unfortunately, the male protagonist of this play is myself. And our John. Mr. Travolta is the number one villain in the movie......" Wang Zijun said with a smile. Travolta spread her hands helplessly, and the funny look made the reporters chuckle.
"This is Gregory. Parker...... Shange Winton...... Steven. Siegel...... These two are my assistant directors, from Taiwan. Mr. Hou Hsiao-hsien and Mr. Wu Wenqin of the Bay ......"
After the introduction, the reporters finally began to ask questions freely.
The reporters raised their hands, and Ayub randomly chose a reporter who was in the middle of the middle.
The reporter took the microphone and said, "Hello, President Gayoom. ”
"Hello!" Gayoom smiled.
The reporter said, "I'm Henry, a reporter for The Guardian. As far as I know, the Republic of Maldives has a relationship with Taiwan. The Chinese people of the b. China broke off diplomatic relations seven years ago, and your country is still accepting the People's Republic of China. economic aid of the country. As we all know, Mr. Wang Zijun and many of the film's main creators are from Taiwan. Bay. Does this mean a change in your country's foreign policy? ”
I rub! Wang Zijun almost scolded, where did this reporter come from? I haven't seen it yesterday.
The British "Guardian", a typical left-wing angry newspaper, how did it run to its own start-up press conference to make trouble!
"Ahem!" Propaganda Minister Ayub coughed and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Henry. Today is the movie launch event, so please don't ask questions that are not related to the topic. ”
The reporter named Henry laughed, "No. I think it has something to do with the theme of the launch. Please Mr. President, please be able to answer my question. ”
Gayoom looked at Wang Zijun. Wang Zijun nodded with a smile, indicating that he didn't mind. Gayoom said: "The Republic of Maldives and the People's Republic of China. The friendship of nations is the friendship of the countries of the third world that is strong and pure. The foreign policy of the Maldives will not change because of a movie. ”
The one below is called Yan Zhentai. b. The face of the reporter of the "Central Daily" changed. He saw Gayoom's attitude towards Wang Zijun yesterday, and he was still thinking about the Chinese people. China has re-established diplomatic relations with the Maldives. After all, Gayoom is the president who just came to power last year. Maybe if you give some benefits, its foreign policy will change, but I didn't expect Gayoom to answer categorically that it is impossible.
Henry had just sat down. Yan Zhen stood up directly: "I am a Chinese citizen. Yan Zhen, a reporter for the Central Daily. Seven years ago your country broke its promise. Instead, it established diplomatic relations with Chinese mainland. I have heard that Mr. Wang Zijun has made a large amount of investment in your country this time, which is a manifestation of my country's past responsibility, and I hope that your country can pull back from the precipice and restore diplomatic relations between the two countries as soon as possible......"
Wang Zijun was directly depressed and held his forehead, what the hell is going on? Fortunately, the mainland reporters did not come, otherwise we would have had to fight today.
Gayoom couldn't see any expression on his face. Still with that faint smile, he said: "Although Mr. Yan Zhen's words have nothing to do with this press conference. But I'm still going to say one thing. Maldives & Taiwan. There is no so-called betrayal between the bends, and I also respect Taiwan. b. The feelings of all the people. If Mr. Yan Zhen wants to protest on this matter, I think you can go to the United States and Japan first. ”…,
The last sentence was very powerful, and Yan Zhen was so red that he didn't speak again.
Gayoom said: "This cooperation is purely a commercial cooperation. "Love in Paradise" is a promotional film in the Maldives, and the Maldives will provide filming spots free of charge, and people and objects will try to assist Mr. Wang in the filming work. In addition, I would like to announce that the Republic of Maldives will be open to people from all countries and regions in the world today and will be exempt from visa-on-arrival for 30 days. ”
"Is it the same with the Soviet Union?" A reporter asked.
"Of course, if the Soviet people choose to travel to the Maldives, we welcome them with open hands." "There is no politics in the Maldives, no worries, just beautiful scenery and secluded relaxation. ”
Aiyub felt that he could no longer talk nonsense, and immediately said: "Please continue to ask questions, I hope you will not ask any more questions that are not related to today's topic." This young lady, please ask a question. ”
Ayub felt that women should not care about political issues, so he chose a female reporter. The female reporter really didn't disappoint him, she stood up and asked, "John, you are an A-grade star actor in Hollywood, why do you play a big villain?" There are a lot of good movies waiting for you. ”
John. Travolta laughed, "I didn't want to come, but Zachary sent me a tape with a message. He said, "Hey man, come and relax with me!" I just wanted to go on a trip, so I simply agreed to his invitation. What could be more cost-effective than traveling with a pay? ”
John. Travolta's Tai Chi skills are very high, and he uses a light and humorous answer to talk nonsense, which satisfies everyone on either side. The reporter was satisfied with the answer, because this kind of behind-the-scenes revelation is still entertaining; Gayoom was satisfied because John. Travolta's answer is to praise the beauty of the Maldives; Wang Zijun was also satisfied, because John. Travolta's words gave him a lot of face, and it narrowed the distance between them.
"Hey Wang, we're meeting again." The next reporter did not ask a question directly, but greeted Wang Zijun.
Wang Zijun smiled: "Hello, Martin, it's a pleasure to see you." ”
It was none other than the Los Angeles Times reporter Martin Brown. Smith, he said: "Wang, just now your hometown reporter Yan, said that you have made a lot of investment in the Maldives, can you explain it specifically?" Is this film made for the promotion of the Maldives also related to this? ”
Wang Zijun said to Aiyub: "Mr. Minister, come on." ”
Aiyub held down the microphone and said: "Mr. Wang and Mr. Hall from the United Kingdom have decided to invest 250 million US dollars in the Maldives to develop the tourism resources of the Maldives islands. Once again, I would like to thank Mr. Wang and Mr. Hall for their generous investment. The Maldives is a beautiful island country that welcomes people from all over the world to relax and relax......"
The propaganda minister seized the opportunity to hype up the Maldives again, but the reporters didn't bother to listen to him. When those reporters from Asia heard that they had invested $250 million, their first reaction was that Wang Zijun had so much money that he had nothing to do, but reporters from Europe and the United States were surprised that Wang Zijun had invested $250 million in this remote and backward country.
$250 million is not a small amount of money, how many of those billionaires can take out 250 million at will?
The following press conference went smoothly, and there were no embarrassing questions, and after the reporters followed Wang Zijun back to the island to take the first shot, they went to enjoy the Islamic-style state banquet arranged by the Maldivian government at noon.
People's Republic of China. The ambassador to the Maldives has always been the ambassador to Sri Lanka. The embassy of the mainland is on the Sri Lankan side. It is estimated that the press conference was a bit loud, and the Chinese ambassador rushed from Sri Lanka in the afternoon and ran in a panic to question Gayoom, because he heard rumors that the new president, who came to power last year, was going to sever diplomatic relations with the mainland.
Gayoom was appeased for a while, swore that he didn't mean that, and finally sent the Chinese ambassador away.
Some scenes in "Love in Paradise" were filmed in Italy, which had to be refilmed in the end, and the first scene was filmed on the plane. Of course, it's not a real plane, but a makeshift simulated cabin.
Laura. Anita, played by Foner, prepares to flee to Asia, but is overshadowed by John. The villain Gamuel, played by Travolta, sends his men to catch up with the plane.
Wang Zijun plays a man named Zachley. Wang's Chinese-American writer happened to sit next to Anita. Anita found out that her pursuers were on the plane and tried to reach out to Zachary. The king cries for help.
As a result, the baddies who revealed their weapons were killed by Zachary. Wang was successfully subdued by the hijacked terrorists, and Anita was about to thank him when the plane malfunctioned.
"Unit 1 stepped back a little more...... Good! Actor burial ...... Eksh! ”
