At nine o'clock, the closing ceremony officially began.

Lao Mouzi was in the center, Liu Yufan and several assistant directors were on both sides, and when several people jointly removed the red silk cloth covered with the huge stills of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the flash lights flashed on the scene, and warm applause also rang out.

Lao Mouzi took the lead in applauding, and at the same time turned to look at this majestic poster, and the smug look on his face was overflowing. This film can be said to have condensed a lot of his hard work, and it is also a film with a huge investment, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a big gamble.

When chatting just now, Liu Yufan also expressed his surprise that the film could be completed so quickly. Lao Mouzi proudly told him how the film was made to mobilize the public, and that kind of big scene, even if Liu Yufan didn't come in person, he could imagine it. At the same time, he sighed again and again that making this movie is indeed a money-burning job. Shoot a MV by yourself, and you can shoot a good one with 100,000 yuan. can look at this "Pirates of the Caribbean", which is a big investment of more than 500 million, and it can top several of its own companies. Not to mention why other directors are so good. However, thinking that he was also a part of creating this miracle, especially when it was still the main part, Liu Yufan felt very proud.

At the same time, he once again sighed about the power of the domestic "crowd tactics". Lao Mouzi is a master of playing crowd tactics, I remember the 2008 Olympic Games, Lao Mouzi made a big scene that shocked the world, not only unprecedented, I am afraid that there is no one to come. At least four years from now. It's far worse than Lao Mouzi's methods. How do you look at it, how petty and childish. And this big production, according to Liu Yufan's estimate, will have to be filmed for more than a year, but he didn't expect Lao Mouzi to get it out in a few months, and it seems to save a lot of money compared to the foreign original. So the key here is in one word - people! The strength of the number of people is great, and China's labor is almost the lowest in the world, which gives Lao Mouzi the possibility of achieving a miracle.

Thinking of this year's Chinese New Year, Lao Mouzi's film is about to have a box office battle with Director Feng, and Liu Yufan has some expectations. Who is the winner or loser? Liu Yufan estimated that Lao Mouzi had a better chance of winning, after all, he didn't say anything else. The large sum of 500 million yuan alone is surprising enough. You must know that this investment can almost be filmed in China for ten or eight films.

Of course. Lao Mouzi also said that people's vision is not so short-sighted, mainly aimed at overseas markets. As for the domestic results, Lao Mouzi didn't care too much. Hearing his words, Liu Yufan had to admire his gaze. In his memory, in fact, the hottest places at the box office of this film are still North America and Europe. Presumably this time, Lao Mouzi can live the addiction of a world-class director. If you're lucky, you might even win an Oscar.

The earth-shattering sound of firecrackers sounded, which made the atmosphere of the scene more enthusiastic.

In fact. It's more like a press conference than a press conference. A few people unveiled the curtain and drank another glass of wine, and the ceremony was almost over.

The next link, of course, is the director's speech.

Looking at the large black crowd standing under the stage, Lao Mouzi felt very good.

Clearing his throat and looking at the hundreds of reporters below, Lao Mouzi beckoned very stylishly, and then picked up the microphone.

"Thank you to all the media friends for coming to the finale ceremony of "Pirates of the Caribbean", everyone has worked hard all the way. The film was not filmed for a long time, though. It's about five months, but the investment is the largest in the history of Chinese films, with a total investment of 550 million yuan, and the number of foreign actors invited is also the largest in history, about 100 people...... "Lao Mouzi gushed endlessly. He cited a lot of data. to illustrate what a "great" film it is, in fact. Liu Yufan can also understand his mood of "showing off". Whoever else has been replaced, such a big investment in a film has been made, and he needs to show off like him to calm down that excitement. …,

Then it's time for free questions, and the scene is more chaotic. At first, everyone was talking together, and no one could hear clearly, but in the end, the staff took the form of speaking by name, which restored order to the scene.

The first person to ask questions was naturally CCTV. Looking at the female reporter who stood up, and the microphone with the CCTV logo in her hand, the other media had nothing to say. There is also a circle in the media people, and there are rules in this circle, and CCTV is undoubtedly a relatively top existence in this circle, especially under the current system, the importance of CCTV is even more prominent.

The female reporter of CCTV stood up, picked up the microphone and began to ask.

"Hello Director Zhang, I just heard you introduce the general situation of the film, it is really very exciting, I don't know if the schedule of this film has been determined? When will it meet a wide audience? ”

This question is very representative, and everyone comes to this closing ceremony to a large extent because of this question.

Listening to the reporter's words, Lao Mouzi said with a smile: "The film has been submitted for review, and it is estimated that it will come down soon, and you will be able to meet you within two weeks at the earliest." ”

Two weeks, which is almost an impossible limit speed under the domestic film review mechanism. If an ordinary director says this, it is estimated that the reporter will think that he is bragging, but Lao Mouzi is different, he is not an ordinary director. For such a long time, he not only has deep connections in the film and television industry, but also has many friends in the system. His film, said to be reviewed in two weeks, is not new at all.

The questions continued, but this time it was a foreign journalist who stood up.

"Hello Director Zhang, I'm a reporter for Movie Voice, and I'm very interested in the setting of your movie, how did you come up with the idea to make such a film? As far as I know, this film is a completely Western fantasy theme, and it is also a pirate-related theme. Should such a film be more suitable for filming in a foreign country? An American journalist in his forties got up and asked.

"Huh. This journalist friend, I want to say to you that good movies know no borders. Regarding this film, I am confident that the Chinese audience will like it, and of course, foreign fans will also love it, and we will fall madly in love with this film. Lao Mouzi said with a smile, and invisibly used a handful of American humor.

The reporter nodded at Lao Mouzi, and then sat down, but he was a little unimpressed. Also. A completely Westernized film, but made by a Chinese director, does he understand Western culture? Does his production team have production methods that can compare with Hollywood? These two points. It's almost a hurdle that he can't overcome, so the reporter who asked the question just now already thinks in his heart that this director is talking big.

Li Li was lucky to grab the third opportunity to ask questions. I saw him stand up and throw out a question directed at Liu Yufan.

"Hello Director Zhang, I am Li Li, a reporter from "New Power of Music", and I noticed that Mr. Liu also participated in our finale ceremony today. I knew Mr. Liu before and knew that he had a particularly famous piano piece "He is a Pirate", and the name of your movie also happened to be "Pirates of the Caribbean", I would like to ask you. Is there a relationship between this film and this piano piece? Li Li asked, then met Liu Yufan's gaze with a smile and nodded at him. The other party obviously noticed him, smiled and gestured to him.

"Hehe, in fact, even if you don't mention this question, I'm going to say it in a while. You're right, this movie and the song "He's a Pirate" are not only related, but also very close. It can be said that this movie was inspired by the MV of "He's a Pirate". Here I would like to share with you one more piece of news, which is the script of the film "Pirates of the Caribbean". He is not only a great pianist, but also a talented playwright. Sometimes I even wonder if he left his profession behind and focused on screenwriting. It should be better. Lao Mouzi said, and glanced at Liu Yufan. As a result, these words. Naturally, it caused a burst of laughter from the reporters in the audience, and in the following questions, they also became more interested in this young screenwriter, and more than half of the next questions were directed at him. …,

The closing ceremony was a success. That night, Lao Mouzi held a celebration banquet at the famous Jianghai International Hotel in Jianghai, and solemnly invited all the crew members, including Liu Yufan. And in the TV program that night, many channels also reported today's events, especially the movie channel, which almost used a special page to report on today's ceremony.

On TV, in addition to Liu Yufan's highlight, the violin version of "He's a Pirate" played live by violinist Jimmy also set off a small one. This violin version of "He's a Pirate", which has been improved by Liu Yufan, has been specially made into the film version of the music by Legendary Entertainment's professional music studio, and is officially used in the background of the later stage of the movie. At the scene, Jimmy's passionate performance immediately opened the eyes of many reporters and crew members on the scene.

Jimmy, this guy, has been living a very nourishing life during this time. At the same time, he seems to have forgotten the purpose of coming here at the beginning, and now he is actually fighting with the female number one in the crew, which makes Liu Yufan really helpless.

But when he saw Jimmy, Liu Yufan remembered Chen Siying again, this little girl didn't go to school in the past two days, she only said that there were some things at home, she hadn't seen her for a while, and she didn't know what she was busy with.

The pre-publicity of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has attracted the attention of many insiders, including the famous film director Feng Xiaogang.

Sitting on the sofa at home, watching the TV channel's "Film Express" with a 60-inch rear projection, Director Feng was silent for a long time with a glass of red wine in his hand.

"More than 500 million dollars, Lao Zhang, do you really dare to do it, do you really regard China as Hollywood?" Feng Xiaogang looked at the old man who was talking eloquently on the screen, and thought with some amusement in his heart.

Two days ago, his new Chinese New Year film "Endless" was also submitted for review, and he originally planned to have a good impact on the New Year's file, but now it seems that there is a strong competitor in the sky.

"A good film can't be made just by having a lot of money, and it's not necessarily who will kill the deer." Feng Xiaogang thought to himself, and drank all the red wine in the cup. (To be continued.)
