In a medium-sized conference hall of the Peninsula Hotel, a group of Dawning Films and hotel staff are busy back and forth, and in the seating area under the stage, many media reporters are gathered together, because the meeting has not yet started, everyone is also talking, and the topic is naturally around today's opening press conference.

Before that, they only received an invitation from Dawning Films, and a press conference for the launch of a new film will be held this morning, but it is not known what the film is, who will direct it, and which actors will star.

If it is an ordinary film company doing this, it will naturally attract dissatisfaction, but for the mystery deliberately created by Dawning Films, some media reporters are only deeply curious, Dawning production, must be a high-quality product, Dawning Films has produced a series of films in recent years, it is difficult not to be full of expectations for the new films they launch.

"Guess who I saw when I was out there just now?" A media reporter said a little mysteriously.

"Who?" A reporter immediately asked.

"Lin Yuquan." The previous media reporter laughed.

"Are you sure it's Lin Yuquan?" Another media reporter said in surprise.

"Of course, if it's just Lin Yuquan, I'm not sure, but I know Xiao Ran, the director of the Publicity Department of Shuguang Film, who was talking to him at the time, and there are two women behind Lin Yuquan, one of whom looks like Wang Luodan because of his position." The previous media reporter said proudly.

"Lin Yuquan, didn't you go up for an interview?" A media reporter asked with emotion.

Of course not, they left right away. Obviously not suitable for catching up with the interview. The previous media reporter said.

"Why do you say that Lin Yuquan and Wang Luodan appear here, it can't be so coincidental, it must be related to the new film of Shuguang Movie."

"It's nature. Lin Yuquan's words, I guess he is here to help with the press conference, as for Wang Luodan and another actress who should also be a star, they are starring. The previous media reporter said unhurriedly.

"That's right, this speculation is very reasonable, but speaking of which, I'm more interested in what kind of results "Heartbeat" can achieve this time?"

"Lin Yuquan's movie, the box office is definitely not low. But the little fresh love movie shouldn't be too high! ”

"That's right, but Lin Yuquan is a person who keeps creating miracles. For the box office of "Heartbeat", I only look forward to it, not guess, because I can't guess at all. ”

Everyone's hearts were shocked. Almost unanimously sighed to himself. yes, that's a guy who always works miracles.

In the emotion of everyone, the time soon came, and the press conference began.

"Thank you for your active participation in the media, and now it's time for the official announcement, welcome to come." After a wonderful and interesting opening, the beautiful hostess dragged out her voice and pulled down the bright red cloth covering the background wall with the title of the movie: "The press conference of the start-up news of "Ocean Paradise". ”

"Ocean Paradise, is it a movie about the sea?" After finally learning the title of the film. A group of media reporters speculated in their hearts.

"It's hard to know what kind of movie it is just by looking at the title. Next, I would like to invite Mr. Ding Zhiding, general manager of Shuguang Film, to speak. The beautiful hostess said with a smile.

In the applause of a group of media reporters, Ding Zhi, who was wearing a dark black suit, walked on stage calmly with a smile on his face.

"Welcome to the media friends here to come to the press conference of "Ocean Paradise", "Ocean Paradise" is a new work launched by our Shuguang Film, compared to our previous movies, "Ocean Paradise" undoubtedly has a very special significance, just now the media friends have a lot of speculation about the theme of the film, but "Ocean Paradise" is not an action drama, nor a costume drama, a comedy, or a love scene, this is a public welfare film about autistic people." Speaking of which, the corners of the mouth are upturned at a higher level.

Movies about autism, such a result, is indeed somewhat unexpected by many people.

Taking the surprised looks of the reporters into his eyes, Ding Wei continued: "There may be media friends who are curious about why we make such a movie, here we must first talk about autism, autism is also known as autism or autism disorder, this kind of patient has qualitative defects in social interaction. Although few people pay attention to it, autism is not far away from us, there is one congenital autism in every 1,000 children in China, and more than 1 million children in the country have been diagnosed with autism.

However, the reality is that society does not pay enough attention to the group of autistic people, and countless autistic people and their family lives are extremely difficult, they do not receive the care they deserve from others, but always suffer from discrimination and cold eyes and words. Two years ago, Liu Junyi's "Left-behind Children" gave us an inspiration that we need to make such a film about autistic people to raise the awareness of autism in society. ”

For the filming of such a movie as "Ocean Paradise", the management of Shuguang Film has no objection, Shuguang Film has passed the stage of simply chasing profits, and it is necessary to shoot some movies that can improve the company's image while making profits, but just as Lin Yuquan considered, everyone is ready to lose money when shooting such a movie, but the loss must be controlled within a certain range, otherwise it is really better to donate directly.

Since the question session has not yet arrived, the media reporters are listening to the record while thinking about the questions that will be asked later.

After saying a few more words, Ding Wei smiled: "In addition to the special theme, "Ocean Paradise" also has a great special feature in the films launched by our Dawning Films, I believe that many media friends here should still remember our previous annual micro-film plan, in the end, there are three directors who received our financial support, yes, the movie "Ocean Paradise" was created and directed by one of the directors, let's welcome the creation of "Don't Talk to Strangers" and "Behind the Glitz"? , "With You", "Bird of Paradise" A series of film and television scripts of Xue Xiaolu, the screenwriter and director of the film Director Xue came to the stage. ”

In loud applause. Xue Xiaolu walked out of the side door.

"Director Xue, I'll leave it to you here." Ding Wei smiled, stepped off the stage and returned to his seat.

"Hello everyone. I'm Xue Xiaolu, welcome everyone to the press conference of "Ocean Paradise", this is the first real film I directed, before that, I existed as a screenwriter, thanks to Shuguang Films, thanks to director Lin Yuquan. I was given this opportunity to realize my dream, in fact, I had the idea of writing a script about autism a long time ago, but I never started writing. Because I don't think I'm ready.

It wasn't until I passed the selection of the Shuguang Micro Film Project and received the support of film shooting funds that Director Lin Yuquan, who was in charge of supervising my film, asked me what kind of movie I wanted to make, and I immediately thought of those autistic children. Then he said to Director Lin Yuquan without any hesitation. I wanted to make a movie about autism, and director Lin Yuquan said, "Okay, you write it, I'll take a look", and I would like to thank director Lin Yuquan again, during the creative process, he took the trouble to give me guidance and put a lot of effort into improving the script. Xue Xiaolu said eloquently.

It is different from the previous Ding value. After Xue Xiaolu's speech, there was a media question session, which was naturally something that media reporters had been waiting for a long time. Immediately raised his hand uncontrollably and asked questions, and waves of questions hit Xue Xiaolu.

From beginning to end, Xue Xiaolu kept smiling and answered patiently, and soon it was time for the end of the question session, Xue Xiaolu did not step down immediately, but said with a smile: "For some reason, I didn't answer the questions of a few media friends just now, I believe that the next one can give you the answers you want, let us welcome with the warmest applause Director Lin Yuquan, who participated in the script creation of "Ocean Paradise", and served as the producer of the film, and is the investor of the film. ”

The warmest, certainly the warmest, like a tidal wave of applause rang out in the conference hall.

Lin Yuquan smiled and calmly walked out of the side gate, and in an instant, the click of taking pictures in the media area sounded endlessly.

"Director Lin, I'll leave it to you here." Xue Xiaolu smiled and handed the microphone to Lin Yuquan, and then sat down in the reserved position in the front row.

Lin Yuquan nodded with a smile, looked at the reporter area below, and after Xue Xiaolu sat down, he said with a smile: "Welcome to the press conference of "Ocean Paradise", after learning a lot of information about the film, I believe that everyone now wants to ask me more questions, rather than listening to me, I don't like to be disgusted, so let's start the question session!" ”

Almost everyone in the conference hall smiled, but the media reporters smiled, and no one wanted to lag behind in the question, and raised their hands in unison.

"Director Lin, I am a reporter from "Jinghua Daily", with the current situation in China, shooting a movie with an autism theme is bound to face a very difficult situation at the box office, why did you invest in the filming of "Ocean Paradise"?" The reporter who was the first to be named by Lin Yuquan got up and asked.

"As a market-oriented product, the main function of film is, of course, commercial function and entertainment function, but in addition, film also has a cultural function, and it should assume the responsibility of reflecting social reality, which is the whole function of film. You can't make every movie like this, someone always needs to make it, and more importantly, such a movie can also be made very good. I was involved in the creation of Ocean Paradise and I know what a good movie it is.

In fact, if it weren't for this reason, I wouldn't have made a movie about autism, after all, movies are paid to watch in theaters, if you don't shoot well, not many people will go into theaters, it is better to invest in shooting public welfare short films or public welfare documentaries, with less investment, and can be seen by more people through TV screens, which has a better effect on raising social awareness of autism. Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"In other words, Director Lin, you are full of confidence in the box office of the movie "Ocean Paradise"!" The first journalist to be named continued.

"Of course, the subject matter has an impact on the box office of the film, but the feeling of whether it looks good or not is the same, although it is filmed with an autism theme, but "Ocean Paradise" is not completely literary or public welfare, it is not the kind of preaching, we are based on the theme of autism to make a warm movie with commercial and entertainment functions, I hope that the audience will feel good and realize that there is such a group of people around us who need our help. That's really important, speaking of which. "Ocean Paradise" is more similar to foreign "Rain Man", "Marathon", "Charge. Movies like Air Doll Love are also about autism, and they are also very good at the box office, and I recommend that fans who are interested in them check out these movies. If you think these movies are your cup of tea, then you might as well go to the theater and watch "Ocean Paradise". Lin Yuquan finished speaking and ordered another reporter.

"Hello, Director Lin, how much is the investment in the film?"

"The initial budget is 23 million, and I believe everyone knows from the investment that we are really confident in "Ocean Paradise". Lin Yuquan chuckled and said that since "Ocean Paradise" is not an ordinary commercial movie, the actors' salaries will naturally be much lower than the market price. Among them, Li Lianjie, who was moved by the script, received a salary of 5 million, and others including Xue Xiaolu, Wang Luodan, and Jiang Yan received a total of 3 million, and another 15 million production costs.

A group of media reporters nodded in agreement. 23 million, this is indeed not a small amount, and there are already many films invested in China that can reach this investment scale every year.

After naming a few more reporters. The interview session was over. Just like Ding Zhi and Xue Xiaolu before, Lin Yuquan then introduced the film's appearance, and when Li Lianjie's figure appeared in the conference hall, it suddenly made a group of media reporters fall into a great shock, Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie will appear in such a movie as "Ocean Paradise", at this moment, media reporters understand more and more why Lin Yuquan will appear full of confidence.

After the not-so-long press conference on the launch of "Ocean Paradise", Lin Yuquan hosted a banquet at the Phoenix Restaurant at The Peninsula Hotel. Dine with everyone, including the creators of "Ocean Paradise", the management of Dawning Films, and the creators of "Heartbeat" who came to Kyoto to attend the premiere.

The media reporters were not able to enjoy the food in a good way, very quickly. Reports of the press conference for the launch of "Ocean Paradise" appeared on the entertainment pages of major websites.

"Produced by Lin Yuquan, directed by Xue Xiaolu, starring Li Lianjie, Wang Luodan, Article, Jiang Yan, Jiang Wenli, "Ocean Paradise" has a huge lineup and is ready to go."

""Ocean Paradise" is launched, Li Lianjie has tried for the first time in 28 years to have no martial arts scenes in the movie, and he will stage a tear-jerking father-son relationship with the article."

"The first director's work of the annual micro-film plan of Shuguang.com, "Ocean Paradise" invested 23 million, and Xue Xiaolu thanked Lin Yuquan and Shuguang Film for their strong support.

There is no doubt that a series of reports on the press conference of "Ocean Paradise" quickly caused a huge response on the Internet, and fans were naturally shocked and cheered the huge creative lineup of "Ocean Paradise", and the filmmakers sighed at the amazing work of Shuguang Films, Shuguang Films is famous for not exaggerating investment, this 23 million is definitely a real investment, among a number of domestic films, there are very few films that can exceed this investment every year.

It's okay if a famous director gets such a high investment, but the problem is that this is the director's office of Xue Xiaolu, who was born as a screenwriter. The female film, as a rookie director, got an investment of 23 million, how not to be amazing.

Need to know Lu Chuan's director's office. The so-called investment of 7 million in the female film "Looking for a Gun" was already shocking at the beginning, and even if a big name such as Gu Changwei, his director. The female work "Peacock" has an investment of only 15 million.

However, in the Dawn movie, such a stroke seems to be very common, before that, Lin Yuquan's director's office. The investment in the female work "Huo Yuanjia" is as high as 30 million, and Xiao Yang's director's office. The investment in the female work "Love Call Transfer 2" also has 25 million,

In comparison, the investment of 23 million in "Ocean Paradise" is indeed not surprising. And this is only the first work launched by the annual micro-film plan of Dawning Films, and no one knows if Dawning Films will have more amazing tricks in the future.

As for those who are interested in making movies, but suffer from no investment, they are all fanatical, wishing that they could get such a high investment.

For Lin Yuquan, such a reaction was already expected by him, after the warm dinner at noon, he did not sit idle, and waited for the premiere of "Heartbeat" in the afternoon, but accepted an exclusive interview with the well-known domestic media "Phoenix" in a bright café. (To be continued......)

PS: Bow and thank you for the support of the monthly pass that wanders alone in the blue, I originally wanted to finish the interview, but there is not enough time, so I can only send it in a chapter tomorrow, sad urging!
