Chapter 251: Filming press conference
After meeting with the crew, Zeng Xiaoxian met the main creators of the crew who he hadn't seen for almost a year, basically all old acquaintances, but a new person was added, that is, Jacob, who played the second werewolf in the male, a twenty-year-old muscular man named Anglu, who was slightly older than Zeng Xiaoxian. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But it's also a complete newcomer, and according to Catherine herself, she is also a player who came out of the draft. Zeng Xiaoxian didn't ask about the specific operation, anyway, it didn't matter who he played.
For Jacob, the role is not only that the draft players are eyeing it, but also that many new stars who have become famous are also looking forward to it, trying their best to win it, after all, this is a one-step road to the sky, in the first part, Jacob just showed a small face, but in the second part, Jacob will appear as the second male lead.
Zeng Xiaoxian won't talk about it, look at others, although it was originally a little famous in the United States, but it was only a little famous.
This kind of fame may not be forgotten in a few months, but now look at people, it is definitely a popular movie star in Hollywood, and his popularity is not bad compared to many old superstars.
Let's talk about the relatively poor Della who is mixed, after the success of playing the role of Bella, she quickly transformed from an unknown newcomer to a popular star at a rocket-like speed, and the film appointments have been continuous for a year, which is simply incredible.
The protagonists have all been so successful, and as the third protagonist to appear, this one has received far more attention than Edward and Bella received when they first came out.
And Jacob, the role is a very important protagonist at first glance, that is to say, after getting this role, it is equivalent to booking the opportunity to perform in the "City of Light" series of movies in the future, if there is no accident, it is very likely that the "Twilight" series of movies will be successfully promoted to the first-line movie star.
Able to fight his way out of these strong hands, and successfully take the role of Jacob. It is enough to prove that this Anglo is definitely not a simple person.
Of course, what made Zeng Xiaoxian jealous the most was Anglu's pimple meat, and when he looked at Zeng Xiaoxian, he didn't look as thin as he did now. But standing with Anglo, it felt like the wind was blowing and I didn't know where it was going.
Zeng Xiaoxian actually appreciates such a figure the most, he wanted to have such a figure in his previous life, but because of the promising profession of otaku, this idea fell through, but in this life, it is like God is against him, he can't practice such a pimple no matter how he practices, although Zeng Xiaoxian thinks that the strength of his muscles is definitely not worse than him, but at least from the point of view, he is not as strong as him.
Well, Zeng Xiaoxian has to admit that some slightly thin boys like this are the favorite of girls nowadays, and the muscular men that Zeng Xiaoxian admires the most have been eliminated from the popularity, at least from the hearts of most girls.
Zeng Xiaoxian couldn't help but sigh, it seems that this little white face can't be thrown away no matter what.
As soon as the press conference began, the reporters turned the finger to Zeng Xiaoxian.
"Zeng Xiaoxian, now you have two parts, if there will be a sequel next, how many will be released?"
Zeng Xiaoxian picked up the microphone with a smile and said: "Of course, if you have carefully watched "New Moon", you should know that the sequel will definitely come out, after all, I also left a lot of suspense in the book, and before these suspense are solved, I think the story will not end, and maybe I will continue to dig holes in the next book, and then continue to bury holes!" ”
Zeng Xiaoxian's humorous answer immediately made the reporters below laugh, this young man from the East did not hesitate to bring oriental-style humor to the reporters present, and this kind of humor can probably be understood by reporters from Asia, especially East Asian countries, who account for one-third of the reporters who came to the scene.
"As for how many books to write, if there are no accidents, according to the manuscript in my heart, I may have to write up to four!" Zeng Xiaoxian replied.
In his previous life, the original author only wrote four books, of course, the fifth step "Midnight Sun", which only has a dozen chapters, does not count.
Not to mention that Zeng Xiaoxian has only read more than a dozen chapters, and the fifth part is to retell the story of "Twilight" from Edward's perspective, in itself, there is no need to write it or not, it doesn't matter, no one will be entangled in this issue, of course, Zeng Xiaoxian knows it alone, so Zeng Xiaoxian said that there are only four. Then there are only four, of course, if Zeng Xiaoxian is really free in the future, it doesn't hurt to make up "Midnight Sun" by himself.
There was a "oh" sound from the reporter below, this is the first time Zeng Xiaoxian has announced the writing plan of the "Twilight" series in public, although everyone knows that Zeng Xiaoxian must have a plan for the follow-up story of "Twilight", but everyone doesn't know how many to write specifically.
Although the four parts seem to be a bit less than "Magic Man", it does not prevent it from becoming a classic.
"Director Catherine, as we all know, the last step of "Twilight" achieved surprisingly good results at the box office, so will you have pressure when facing such a box office again!"
"I think there will definitely be pressure at the box office, but I think this box office should not be an obstacle, but should be a driving force for progress, reminding me all the time to work hard!" Catherine answered reporters' questions with a smile on her face.
"Director Catherine, although "Twilight" has been a great success at the box office, many people feel that there are still many unsatisfactory places, many people think that it is difficult for you as a new generation director to control a classic work like "Twilight", and if someone else directs it, will it make the quality of "City of Light" to a higher level!" The words of a journalist. Let the atmosphere of the scene drop to the freezing point.
Catherine is embarrassed, there have always been doubts about her directorial level, which has existed since the first day of directing "Twilight", but with the box office success of "Twilight", this kind of doubt has been relatively rare, after all, the box office has shown a kind of success, at least relying on this Catherine can say that she is a successful commercial film director, I didn't expect to be asked this question at today's press conference.
She didn't take over the topic, and she didn't take over the topic.
At this time, Zeng Xiaoxian, who is the protagonist and screenwriter and the original author, took the microphone and said: "In fact, everyone sees benevolence on this issue, wisdom sees wisdom, and everyone sees different directions, although Ms. Catherine's "Curtain Color" still has such and such shortcomings, but at least it has been recognized by most people, and the box office is the evidence, from this point of view, "Twilight" is a successful movie, as you said earlier, maybe it will be more successful with another director, But maybe a change of director will not be so successful and not necessarily, and a change of director may not have many problems with director Catherine. But there will be new problems, and it is not certain, although you are saying hypothetical, but there are no ifs in the world. Since "Twilight" has been so successful, there must be a reason for him, right? ”
Zeng Xiaoxian's identity as the author of the original book, the weight of his words is absolutely final, his recognition is very important to Catherine, and it is also a signal to the outside world, that is, he is very satisfied with Catherine's "Twilight", can you know this work better than the original author?
"And in the process of filming "Twilight", I and everyone saw with our own eyes how director Catherine worked hard to study "Twilight", hoping to shoot as much as possible in the plot of "Twilight", for which I was often woken up by her in the middle of the night, oh, God testify, that feeling is so depressing!" Zeng Xiaoxian once again used his humorous words to enliven the whole scene.
"Zeng Xiaoxian, now everyone thinks that eighty percent of the success of "Curtain Color" is because of you, do you agree with such a statement?"
Zeng Xiaoxian's face pulled, damn, what he said was vicious, this is Chi Guoguo's provocation of his relationship with others, although Zeng Xiaoxian also thinks that he is indeed a great contributor to the success of "Twilight", but it is not as exaggerated as eighty percent.
How should Zeng Xiaoxian answer, the answer is? Or is it not?
Neither of these seemed to be able to answer, Zeng Xiaoxian thought about how others answered such similar questions.
This kind of question is not easy to answer on both sides, the answer is yes, people say you are rampant. To say that it is not, it seems hypocritical in this accepted situation.
What a pain!
Zeng Xiaoxian's question, or this kind of question, should be answered as high-sounding as possible.
Although this answer will make the reporter's depressed egg hurt, but it will also make you unable to find a handle.
Zeng Xiaoxian smiled slightly, picked up the microphone and said: "Actually, I have credit for "Twilight", I don't deny this, but can the success of "Twilight" be attributed to me alone?" Do you think I can replace everyone? If there was no director Catherine, would there be such a good work? If there is no Dela, the role of Bella can be vividly interpreted. Do you expect me to, oh? God testifies, although my skin is very white, I am definitely a pure man! ”
Zeng Xiaoxian's good-natured joke made the bottom laugh.
Zeng Xiaoxian was not defeated by this question, but took this opportunity to praise all the members of the crew.
"Zeng Xiaoxian, can you tell me which Chinese actors will be selected this time?" A Chinese reporter stood up and said.
Zeng Xiaoxian smiled slightly: "Well, I think you asked the wrong person, I think Ms. Catherine should know more than me in this regard, but what I can tell you is that there will be more Chinese actors in the movie this time, and it will be more important!" ”
Catherine took the microphone and said: "China is a very mysterious country, there are many great actors in China, such as Zeng Xiaoxian, and now I have been in contact with a lot of Chinese actors, like the last time I had a very happy cooperation week!" ”
Catherine still didn't say who it was, but she had basically said Hu Yifei's name.
"Director Catherine, may I ask you, would you consider actors from other Asian countries? We also have a lot of very good actors in Japan! A short Japanese reporter got up and asked.
Catherine smiled and said: "Well, I think you should ask Zeng Xiaoxian instead of asking me this question, because we are all adapted from him, he said yes, then there is, he said no, then no!" ”
Zeng Xiaoxian kicked the ball on his body, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "This opinion can be considered, but in view of the fact that I don't know much about the history and customs of Asian countries, I have to make a careful assessment!" Zeng Xiaoxian's answer was completely like a rigorous and empty and boring government speech, saying for a long time is equivalent to saying nothing.
Now Zeng Xiaoxian is now more and more able to speak in his scenes, he knows why those government officials can say a lot of official words that seem to be full of truth without blinking their eyes, but in fact they are a bunch of nonsense, which are all practiced for a long time, Zeng Xiaoxian has also practiced this kind of ability after answering questions of a similar nature many times, although he doesn't say that he will talk nonsense, but in fact it is almost the same.
"Della, I heard that you have turned down a lot of movie reservations in order to appear in "New Moon", can you ask, what prompted you to appear in "New Moon" and turn down other movies?"
This reporter's question made everyone present feel speechless for a while, isn't this nonsense?
Now which movie can be compared with the attraction of actors in "New Moon", look at the terrifying box office of "Twilight", that actor is reluctant to appear in high-grossing movies, although it is not as good as Zeng Xiaoxian who successfully stepped into the hundreds of millions of dollars salary club with only one "Twilight", but Dela's salary has reached a very high of 10 million US dollars when she starred in "New Moon", and I believe that after the release of "New Moon", it is only a matter of waiting for her to enter the 15 million dollar first-line actress club, And if Della starred in other movies and gave up "New Moon", God knows when she would be able to step into the ranks of A-list actresses, and idiots know how to choose.
Della smiled and said: "I think this question is very understandable, after all, the attraction of the role of Bella to me is unprecedented, this has been, is, and will be like this, don't forget that I am still a fan of Zeng Xiaoxian's books, and I am very satisfied with the salary that director Catherine gave me this time!" ”
Della did not directly disclose how much she was paid, which is also a default rule in the circle, but reporters can still roughly estimate it from just a few words.
After attending the grand press conference, Zeng Xiaoxian flew to Vancouver, Canada with the crew members.
After communicating with the local government, the crew got a filming location, and according to the plan, the first scene to start filming was the first scene, which was when Bella dreamed that she was getting old and saw Edward's scene. (To be continued.) )
