In view of the large number of local media reporters requesting interviews, the crew that had not yet been formed held a simple press conference with the help of Dongfeng Hotel to inform the new situation of the film preparation.

On the same day, hundreds of media reporters also poured in, and media from all over the country flocked to this desert land.

At the press conference, Zhang Manyu became the focus, and even Li Donglai and Liu Dehua did not receive as much attention as her. When asked if he wanted to make a comeback, Zhang Manyu said, "It's not a comeback, it's just that I feel that I have no reason to refuse after receiving an invitation from Li Donglai." And the work of the Oscar Best Screenplay is indeed extraordinary, and the story of the script is very good. Over the years, there have been many Hollywood works that have invited me, but they have never responded, because they don't want to let themselves shoot something they don't like, which is a betrayal of fans. But now it's different, a work that is so good that it's hard to put down, a representative figure in the Chinese film and television industry, and Andy who will never get old. Haha, it was really hard to refuse this temptation, so I simply agreed. She said it very easily, just to come out temporarily to revisit her previous work and make this movie, not a comeback. What's more, her shadow is not completely gone, and there are more or less cameos in some roles, which can only be regarded as a half-shadow.

The reporter followed after him and asked, "Will you star in other directors' works in the future?" ”

Zhang Manyu smiled and said: "Then it depends on fate, if the work is good and the mood is just right...... It's also something that can't be said. ”

Li Donglai took over the conversation, shared the pressure for her, and said with a smile: "I didn't have much expectations for inviting Sister Manyu at the beginning, mainly because Brother Hua had a big face, and finally he really persuaded Zhang Manyu." ”

Liu Dehua didn't admit it, and joked: "Of course I'm not the only one." Otherwise, after so many years, she would have come out to re-film, and countless directors would have invited her. But now that this movie has been re-filmed, it can be seen that Donglai's face is more important. I came out with my old face and begged her to come out. even said that I played her in the movie, she was the main character, and she was still skeptical. Director, explain, am I telling the truth? ”

Zhang Manyu also looked at Li Donglai curiously.

Li Donglai nodded with a smile and admitted: "Although it is a male and female protagonist, in terms of all the scenes, the heroine is indeed more important, and you are the first protagonist." Sister Manyu, I'm satisfied. ”

Zhang Manyu pretended to have a satisfied expression and agreed, "Forget you, the story is indeed very good." It's going to be busy for a while. ”

Li Donglai laughed and said: "I still expect this movie to hit the Oscars, and the first Chinese Oscar actress will be born in my movie, which is exciting to think about." ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene was suddenly overwhelmed. The reporters paused, then flashed their flashing lights frantically.

The reporter asked: "Director, is this movie going to be ready to hit next year's Oscars?" Is this your response to not being nominated for an Oscar this year? ”

Li Donglai smiled, still modest, but the words he said were domineering, "Why not." Half the world's best actors and actresses are here, and I'm not bad, don't you think you should aim a little higher for such a combination? Whether it is the Oscar, the Golden Globe Award, or the Huabiao Award or the Academy Award, they are all awarded to the best works. That's right, we're just going to make the best movies we can be. ”

His confidence and expectations also made Liu Dehua feel a little more longing in his heart. He deliberately wiped his forehead and said to Zhang Manyu: "Alexander, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Manyu also felt Li Donglai's strong confidence, but deliberately adjusted the atmosphere and said coquettishly: "Director, don't put pressure on us, if we smash it, we will scold the fans to death." ”

"Haha" Li Donglai smiled and said, "Let's look forward to it together." ”

Just like Li Dong said, the Chinese film festival, the combination of the best actors and actresses and the best directors, can it still be unstoppable?

Over the years, Yimou, Xiaogang, Kaige, Jiawei and other unfulfilled wishes to rush to the Olympics, coupled with Li Donglai's repeated failures to hit the Oscars for Best Director, can he succeed this time?

The three of them are all big names who can speak well, and the small jokes and ridicule on the scene from time to time make the scene relaxed and active. The reporters were also smiling and laughing.

The reporters at the scene also felt the same way, and could only say that Li Donglai had too much face, and actually invited Zhang Manyu. Although I don't know what kind of story this is, just looking at this scene can already elevate this movie to the ranks of the most anticipated Chinese-language films of the next year.

All I can say is...... The casting is too good!

Although Zhang Manyu's invincible award-winning legend in the past fifteen years (1989-2004) is enough to continue to be written, she still retired bravely at the peak of her career and entered a state of "semi-retirement".

In her opinion, life should not only be about filming.

Ten years so far, Zhang Manyu has made a cameo appearance for a few minutes in addition to helping friends (such as Isaac?). Julian's "Ten Thousand Waves" and Xia Yongkang's "Love in the City") have not starred in any new plays.

Since winning the Cannes Film Queen, there have often been big directors and big producers who have come to the door, but Zhang Manyu has declined them one by one, including "Let the Bullets Fly", "The City is Full of Golden Armor", "Nanjing! Nanking! and the Louvre in Paris, which participated in the production of Zuò's "Face" and other excellent films. In 2009, directors Liu Weiqiang and Huang Baiming were asked about the value of actresses in an interview, and Liu Weiqiang immediately laughed and said that Zhang Manyu was "priceless", because whether he filmed or not, he only looked at "fate". And Wen Jun, chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards, also wrote an article "Who can ask Maggie Cheung to make another movie? lamented that his return to the film industry was far away.

Zhang Manyu, who declined a large number of film invitations, entered the stage of extreme anticipation and helplessness of fans known as "there will always be a schedule, but there will never be a schedule", while she herself allocated her time to life, public welfare and charity, and music interests.

In 07, she won the "Outstanding Contribution Award for Chinese Film" issued by the Shanghai International Film Festival, and when she received the award, she said: Thank you to all the people who support her and those who do not support her, because the encouragement of supporters and the encouragement of non-supporters make her determined to become a good actor.

Since the late 90s of the 20th century, Maggie Cheung has been invited to serve as a judge of international film festivals many times, served as a guest at overseas award ceremonies, and took the lead in opening up the way for Chinese movie stars in the international fashion field, thus becoming one of the ranks of international movie stars.

At that time, there were already Hollywood studios that had begun to contact Zhang Manyu for work. Zhang Manyu is not blindly accommodating to Hollywood commercial blockbusters, and in a December 1998 interview with CNN TV, she clearly expressed her cautious attitude.

On November 14, 2004, the New York Times published an article titled "Why is Zhang Manyu not a Hollywood star?" In the interview, Maggie Cheung gave the following reasons for declining invitations to Hollywood films such as "Memoirs of a Geisha", "007" and "X-Men 2": "If I started making movies like this, they wouldn't be proud of me, and I would feel as if I was cheating on them." I don't want half the world to think I'm cheating -- we have 1.3 billion people, and I care about that. There's something I'm more proud of to do than making a Hollywood movie. ”

On April 10, 2007, the British "Independent" published an interview "Why this Asian star left the screen". The article recounts the intense xenophobia and discrimination that Zhang suffered as a young student in the UK, and she said it was a time when she felt very alienated: "I became very self-defensive and defensive of my culture, and I still do. I've received Hollywood film offers for clichéd Chinese characters. I won't accept any of this, because if I did, I would feel betrayed of my own people and my own culture. ”

Compared with Hollywood blockbusters that can quickly increase their popularity, European small-scale literary films are more attractive to her, because she clearly understands her own characteristics and positioning, and if she starts to take on Hollywood blockbusters indiscriminately for the sake of fame and money, she is undoubtedly betraying herself and deceiving fans.

She is smart and rational, does not blindly chase fame, and has her own persistence. Such an actress is becoming more and more valuable in today's era, and she is simply a model on the screen.

Just last year, in 2010, she was still directing Isaac in the UK? When Julian made a cameo appearance in "Mazu" in "Ten Thousand Waves", he said: I hope more and more people love Chinese elements. She hopes that more Chinese movie stars will break into the international film scene, but she will not play a role that derogates culture. She admits that she doesn't want to shoot Hollywood movies because there are few roles for her there, so she doesn't necessarily pursue success there.

And this time I accepted Li Donglai's invitation, why not because Li Donglai is the most successful artist in Hollywood.

Is there a better way to break into Hollywood than to make a movie with one of the best Chinese directors?

What's more, although Li Donglai's movie is a science fiction film, in terms of content, it is more like a literary film. How a strong woman who lost her child returned to Earth from space after a thousand hardships and dangers. The content is equally appealing to her.

And Liu Dehua also has a certain popularity in the West after "Inception".

Seeing this combination, it is not difficult for the media to find that Li Donglai is focusing on the Western market.

After the press conference, the next day, the front page of various newspapers suddenly wrote the headline "Best Actor and Actress and Best Director, Invincible Combination Pointing to the Oscars", reporting in detail on the situation at yesterday's press conference. The news on the Internet is faster, and the discussion about Brother Donglai's domineering shouting that he will rely on this film to fight for the Oscar for Best Director is even hotter.

Some people think that he has begun to swell, and some people think that he already has the strength to win the award and should have won it a long time ago, which is not an exaggeration.

The two sides insisted on their own words and engaged in heated discussions. But most people think that the phrase "sword pointing at Oscar" shouted out of Li Donglai's mouth is more confident than shouting it from the mouths of Yimou, Kaige, Jiawei and others.

The news is so Gree, naturally it also hyped up Li Donglai's movie, which he didn't even know the name of.

After arranging this and handing over the rest of the work to others, Li Donglai returned to the capital before New Year's Day 2012. He was invited to attend the 2011 National Drama Awards Gala. (To be continued)
