On the day of the press conference, Li Donglai, together with Zhu Liangcheng, as well as Tong Hua, the author and screenwriter of "Step by Step", Mr. Li Guoli, the famous Hong Kong director, Bao Jingjing, the screenwriter of "33 Days of Broken Love", and the starring and director Emblem attended together.
Under the flashing lights, Brother Donglai greeted the reporters on the scene with a smile on his face.
He can be dressed up today, just a simple shirt with casual trousers and flat shoes, and a blue work tag strap around his neck, and a work tag with his bust in his jacket pocket. The cuffs are rolled up, not like a special trip to a press conference, but like a casual outfit that has just been temporarily taken from work.
The question of wearing clothes does not seem to matter at today's press conference. But it also depends on who it is, and if you put it on Li Donglai, any small topic can become the focus of attention.
Therefore, the first female reporter to ask a question had already gone straight to his dress today: "Mr. Li Donglai, are you dressed deliberately today, or have you just rushed over from work?" ”
Li Donglai glanced down at his outfit, only to find that he was still wearing a work card, smiled and took off the work card and rolled up the blue suspenders very casually in front of the reporter's camera lens, and then stuffed it into the pocket of his trousers, and explained with a smile: "I just had a meeting with the director and screenwriter to discuss some things." Seeing that it was almost time, I rushed over. ”
"Actually, I'm a reporter for Boutique Man magazine. You're on the cover of many magazines in the U.S., can you tell us about your thoughts on fashion? "Boutique Man" knew that it was a fashion magazine as soon as he heard the name, and this reporter was obviously a rookie, and the host asked questions before he started, and he asked so amateurishly that his peers couldn't help frowning.
Li Donglai didn't think that the power had already started. He was asked what to wear on many occasions. In fact, he didn't have any opinion, and said with a slight smile: "You asked me what I think about fashion...... When you wear it on me, it's fashion. ”
All of a sudden, he was very arrogant. couldn't help but stunned the scene, and then immediately the "card wipe card cha" camera sound became more intense, and he said this. It's really a bit like that, and there is no reporter to refute it.
But then Li Donglai couldn't help but be handsome, laughed at himself and said, "Haha, just kidding." I'm afraid you're asking the wrong person about fashion, I don't know anything about fashion, if I'm alone, I'll be sloppy when I wear clothes, and there are costumers to consider in public. Today, because I came out in a hurry, the costumer happened to be absent, so I was so sloppy. ”
"Nope. No, it's handsome! The female reporter quickly replied. Who dares to say that he is sloppy, besides, he is indeed very handsome. Because of such a simple white shirt, wearing it on him does have a refreshing, clean man's taste.
"Thank you." After Li Donglai thanked him. immediately glanced at Zhu Liangcheng and signaled that he could face it squarely.
This press conference, hosted by Zhu Liangcheng, after greeting, began to introduce some recent Phantom dynamics, and at the same time announced the latest plans of Phantom Company.
“…… The Phantom is just a newly formed company. There is still a lot of work to be done and improved. Previously, I would like to thank all my colleagues in the industry and media for their attention and reports, so that our newly opened company has received so much support. ”
"But we were also flattered by the amount of attention and the much-anticipated following. This is the pressure and the driving force, which will drive all the colleagues up and down the Phantom to make every work well. ”
In order to answer the attention of so many media friends, a press conference was specially held today to officially inform the start of filming of the Phantom's two new works. The upcoming TV series "Step by Step", as well as a comedy film "33 Days of Broken Love". At the same time, I also take this opportunity to invite colleagues in the industry, and welcome directors and screenwriters with dreams to bring good works to cooperate, and any conditions can be discussed. ”
There was an uproar at the scene, not only the TV series, but also a movie to start work together.
When they heard that director Li Guoli directed "Step by Step", the reporters were a little disappointed, and sure enough, Li Donglai didn't have time to do this. Li Guoli is a director of Heung Kong, and has worked for Li TV, Singapore TV, and Heung Kong TVB. He has directed TV series such as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", "Dragon Babu", "Sword and Enmity", "Intolerable Love" and so on. and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" in 05, he is a veteran TV series director, but Li Donglai only serves as a producer, which also responds to the media's speculation.
But it doesn't matter, isn't there another movie. But when they heard the introduction that "33 Days of Broken Love" would be directed by heraldic and played one of the leading roles, the reporters' glasses shattered.
"May I ask why you chose Heraldic as the director, and is Mr. Heraldic confident that he will make the Phantom's first domestic film?"
This question can be regarded as asking two people, Li Donglai glanced at the coat of arms, and he politely stretched out his hand to ask the coat of arms to say first. Emblem swallowed his saliva and said calmly: "When Mr. Li Donglai handed me the script, I thought it was just a role. Later, he personally visited my home, and I learned that it was two professions. ”
"After so many years of acting, I am no stranger to all kinds of crews. But the director profession has never been done, and if you ask me if I have confidence, I naturally have no bottom. ”
"But fortunately, I have an Oscar-winning director, screenwriter, and actor behind me, and this big boss has drawn a big pie for me, and I will have top stage managers, set designers, costume stylists, soundtracks and other senior talents behind the scenes...... He also took out his own example to tell the story, saying that people will always have their first attempt...... All in all, for a good reason, it made me realize that this is not a random choice, but the result of a long time of research by a professional team. I was so impressed that I said yes. After finishing speaking, he pursed his lips and looked at Li Donglai.
Li Donglai smiled and said, "Teacher heraldic is modest. In my opinion, the conditions are many times better now than when I first made "Source Code". Although Phantom China is a start-up, it has always been committed to attracting behind-the-scenes talent. We chase professional behind-the-scenes talent more than actors. With the heraldic teacher joining in and leading the whole team, I am even more confident that this film will shine. ”
The press conference was lively, as if there were endless questions. But most of it is focused on Li Donglai. Fortunately, Li Donglai has rich experience and smoothly leads the topic to every guest, even the two little-known screenwriters have not let go. Everyone talked and laughed, which was a lot of fun.
"Hello. Mr. Li Donglai, I am the editor of Time. After you won the Oscar, domestic fans looked forward to whether you would make domestic blockbusters in the future. to save the sluggish status quo of domestic blockbusters. But your first executive film in China, you chose a low-budget comedy, not a big-budget production. What are the reasons for this? Is it because you're good at making comedy and sci-fi genres? What do you think about the current state of Chinese cinema? Will you direct domestic films in the future? ”
Sure enough, if you are a professional, this question can be regarded as asking on the knife edge.
Li Donglai didn't answer casually as before, but thought about it for a while before he smiled: "When this editor said 'save domestic blockbusters', I was very scared. Declare in advance, this is what you said, and I will never admit it if you let it out, hehe. There was a chuckle at the scene.
Li Donglai continued: "But as you said, domestic films may have a certain dilemma, since Zhang Yimou directed "Hero". It seems that the concept of domestic blockbusters has just begun, but the word-of-mouth has not reached the ideal state. As for the downturn, I thought about it for a while, you should be aiming at the competition between imported Hollywood blockbusters and domestic films, is that so? ”
"Yes." The editor was slightly excited. wanted to continue to explain, but was stopped by Li Donglai.
He smiled: "But in my opinion, Chinese films are not sluggish, there is still a big market to do, and there are many themes that can be brilliant." If you want to change the audience's impression that domestic blockbusters are difficult to compare with Hollywood's imported blockbusters, you have to start from the roots. We are in the process of development, and the box office is growing year by year. This is a good sign. ”
"In terms of films, compared to many predecessors, I am just a beginner, and it is not appropriate for me to talk about the current situation of Chinese films. However, as a member of Chinese filmmakers, he naturally will not ignore this issue. ”
He speaks without leaks, first stating his current situation, and not being used as a topic by jealous people.
"You said that I am good at making comedies and science fiction films, please, I have only been a director for two years, to borrow an advertising slogan from Fa Ge, I have just hit the road."
"Hahaha" There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone in the guest seat also turned their heads to look at him sideways to listen to what he would say.
After everyone laughed, Li Donglai said: "When I make a movie, I don't go to the subject matter first, and I first consider issues such as large-scale production, but choose a story first." As for what kind of zuò is needed, it is also entirely in the service of the story. The story needs to spend money, the story needs a big cast to play or a rookie actor is enough, the story needs to be vigorous, the story needs to be plain and see the truth, and so on. I'm going to think about spending a lot of money, hiring the right actors, and using special effects...... In my mind, stories come first. ”
"And I would never think that investing more money and more money is too big, that is a big system. I believe that many large-scale investment film cases in China over the years have proved this problem. There is no shortage of money in Chinese films, there are many rich people, and what they lack is quality products and characteristics. I want to use my practical actions to prove that Chinese films can fly both word-of-mouth and box office. And "33 Days of Broken Love" is a small contribution I made to improve the overall film environment. ”
"Papapa......" There was a round of applause at the scene.
Li Donglai's words were full of courage and sincerity. He could have played in Hollywood alone, and there was no need to come back to the troubled waters. But as a Chinese, he still came back, and so quickly began to make new moves, which made people see that he did not just like to talk empty words, but really did practical things.
I believe that after this report, the Phantom Company, among the many film production units in China, can definitely be regarded as the type of "Qinglian out of the mud without staining".
Of course, fans will have confidence in the Phantom. It's just that whether Li Donglai can keep his golden signboard of "Phantom Production, it must be a high-quality product" depends on the effect of the movie after its release.
There was applause at the scene, and only the heraldic classmates were half-joking: "The boss said a word, Xiao Er broke his leg, and Boss Li was full of confidence, so I felt Alexander." ”
Li Donglai laughed and joked with him: "The director of the crew is the boss, and everyone has to listen to your scheduling." This is also your first time as a director, and if you mess up, hehe, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to direct a movie in the future. ”
The heraldic smiled and said, "Then you have to fight chicken blood, and you have to rush forward with your trouser belt." "You are welcome, your support is my biggest motivation.
