Feng Zixi flew directly to Los Angeles, and the short film trailer of [Resident Evil 2] will be released here, and a media conference will be found at random, which can be regarded as a brief introduction to the filming process and progress of [Resident Evil 2] with the media from all over the world.

Feng Zixi participated for the first time, and he couldn't come last time because of time, so this time the producer notified in advance so that Feng Zixi could arrange the time as the first time to face questions from reporters or the media.

The trailer short film press conference and media conference were held at the Hollywood Hotel, and Feng Zixi, who came early, greeted the director and the two heroines, and took over the detailed process list of the press conference for a while.

"Zachary, you have to be careful with the reporter's questions for a while, they will definitely focus on asking you relevant questions, after all, you are facing a reporter for the first time since the start of filming [Resident Evil 2]. It is also said that many media from Asia will also be coming, including those from Japan and South Korea. Paul Anderson, who is both producer and screenwriter, reminds.

Feng Zixi had long expected this kind of thing, and the reporter's job was to search for all the information and materials that could be used, no matter what the problem was, whether it was private or not, as long as it was valuable, for the reporter, he would ask questions.

"I see, it's not the first time I've faced reporters, and I know how to deal with them."

"It's good to know the way, you just need to answer the questions related to the film for a while, and you don't need to pay attention to the rest." Paul Anderson was still a little worried and gave Feng Zixi a move.

This is the first media conference after the start of filming of [Resident Evil 2], and it is also the first time that the first actor appears in front of the media, so it has attracted a lot of media, in addition to local media reporters in Hollywood, the most people who come will be Asian reporters. Japan, South Korea, and China all had some relatively large media outlets coming to the scene, hoping to get first-hand information, especially the information of the actor Zixi with Asian ancestry.

Feng Zixi followed the heroine Milla Jovovich into the venue, and there were not many crew members involved in the trailer short film press conference, and the only two actors were the heroines Milla Jovovich and Sienna Gherley, Carlos actor Zachary, and the other two were directors and producers.

As soon as he walked into the venue, a flash light "clicked" non-stop, Feng Zixi, who was used to it, his eyes slightly avoided the bright light, and he always had a smile on his face, and calmly came to his seat and sat down.

The Sheraton Hotel had already been arranged, a large curtain was hung on the wall of the ballroom, and the projector and sound equipment were also adjusted early to ensure that there would be no problems with the trailer projection for a while.

"Welcome all media and journalists from all over the world, and welcome to this press conference and press conference of the [Resident Evil 2] trailer video." A host arranged by the Sheraton Hotel stepped aside to the microphone to introduce the process of the press conference to the reporters below. "First of all, the producers will release some new information about the film, and then the trailer will be screened. At the end of the day, there will be about an hour of questions for reporters, so please sit quietly before this time comes. ”

Producer Paul Anderson stood up, nodded to the media reporters below, and said: "I will first announce the news that the movie [Resident Evil 2] will be officially renamed [Resident Evil: Apocalypse] from now on, and all official news in the future, as well as the official website, will also use this name, please pay attention." Next is the broadcast of the trailer video, and the media you come to will also get a full disc after the press conference. "Clean, no nonsense at all. This is also the Hollywood way of doing things, doing it one by one according to the process, without being polite at all. …,

The trailer is about 100 seconds, that is, more than a minute, and this is the first time Feng Zixi has seen the real effect of the edited film they shot. Of course, the short film has already added a lot of special effects and gorgeous scenes. In particular, the scene of "Nemesis", that is, the tracker, appeared, which simply calmed down all the reporters present. The strong body, the terrifying huge electromagnetic cannon when he looked at it, and the terrifying face made the reporters who saw it feel cold in their hearts, and snatched away the two beautiful heroines and Zixi, who was the only male protagonist. If it weren't for Matthew. Taylor can't see his true face at all, I'm afraid the actor will be replaced by him.

Heroine Milla Jovovich runs along the walls of the building from the roof to the ground, performing a very dazzling set of stunts in the building, with the support of WIA, coupled with the angle of the camera rotation, to complete this set of most impactful action scenes. Before such a bold stunt action scene was filmed without the use of any CG, director Alexander Witt specially equipped a camera to track Milla Jovovich's movements, which made everyone who saw it have a very direct and amazing visual impact.

The stunned expressions of the reporters at the scene have already said that this set of hard-earned shots is so as not to shock them. It's not like I've never seen Hollywood blockbusters, there are one or two very good ones every year, but the director is really responsible for being able to make a delicate beauty do it to this extent. And it seems to be very effective, at least it has attracted the reporters on the scene.

Carlos who appeared later, with his agile skills, standard tactical movements, sharp eyes, fearlessness in the face of zombie dogs, and the strength of the tracker in the direct gaze. and the hesitation and struggle when he was betrayed by the company he was loyal to, and was ruthlessly abandoned, he can feel the pain in his heart and the helplessness of being a mercenary.

Sienna Gherley, who plays Jill, although there are not too many action scenes, her unearthly style is enough for reporters to recall her appearance in "New Trojan Horse Massacre", the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen.

A hundred seconds passed easily, and after watching the trailer, there was no need to be reminded, and all the reporters present applauded. Because of this short period of time, they know that [Resident Evil: Apocalypse] has brought out the emotional theme called "fear", and has added more brutal, tense and gorgeous battle scenes than the first episode, and the improvement of film shooting skills has made the film more detailed.

Before the host could speak, some reporters had already raised their hands, hoping to be the first to ask questions. Seeing this enthusiastic situation, the director and the producer both looked at each other and smiled, and only when the reporter accumulated more questions and problems, they would work hard to publicize. If the reporter is not interested in your film, I am afraid that he will not even bother to raise his hand.

"Director Werther, now congratulations, although it is not a complete movie, this minute or so is the most nervous minute of my day. Tough zombies, as well as fearless mercenaries, and the heroine's gorgeous and realistic movements, all make me remember vividly, and it seems that I need to watch it again when I go back. "A reporter stood up first, but he didn't ask a question, and there was a long round of praise, could it be the childcare invited by the director and producer?" I want to ask Director Werther, how is the filming progress of [Resident Evil: Revelations]? And when will it be officially released next year? ”

First of all, Xie Lu would like to thank this journalist friend for his appreciation. [Resident Evil: Apocalypse] is going well now, and the city of Toronto is quite supportive of our filming, so according to the budget, it is estimated that all the filming will be completed by May next year. As for the release date, then you have to ask the producer, after all, I am just a working boy. ”…,

The director pushed the topic to producer Paul Anderson, who said with a smile: "We hope to be able to release it globally in the summer next year, and of course we still need to negotiate with theaters and distributors, which have not been officially decided for the time being." However, if there is any latest news, it will definitely be announced to everyone. ”

Another reporter stood up and asked: "Miss Milla Jovovich, did you shoot a series of gorgeous and thrilling actions in the trailer just now, or did you use CG and stand-ins to complete them, and the director assured that the actors would shoot such high-risk action scenes himself?" ”

Milla Jovovich glanced at director Werther, nodded when he saw him, and said: "The picture is indeed made with CG, but all the actions were filmed by me myself, and no stuntmen were used. As for the high-risk actions you mentioned, they were all carefully calculated, and the director, action director, and VFX artist were directed, and I tried many times and didn't feel that there was much danger. ”

"Miss Milla Jovovich, this time is obviously very different from the first episode, not only the action and battle scenes have increased, but also with the improvement of the heroine's ability, there will be a lot of powerful enemies. So do you think if [Resident Evil] starts filming the third episode, will you be able to cope with it? ”

"This is not what I should worry about now, all I need to do now is to play the second episode well, play the role of Alice well, I believe that the eyes of the director, the producer and the audience, as long as I play it well, whether it is the third or fourth episode, I will have a chance. You also have to help me spread the word so that I have a better chance! After saying that, Milla Jovovich winked at the reporters present, causing the reporters below to burst into laughter.

"May I ask Mr. Zachary, this is your first Hollywood blockbuster, are you most confident? Are you confident that you will be recognized by the audience? Finally ushered in the first problem, Feng Zixi found that he really didn't receive much attention at the scene.

"Of course, I have confidence, after all, this is not the first time I have participated in the production of Hollywood films, and I have also worked with many Hollywood directors, although it is not a commercial film, but I am no stranger to Hollywood. As for whether the audience recognizes it or not, it's really hard to say, ThereareathousandHamletsinathousandpeople'seyes. ”

The reporter didn't seem to be satisfied with Feng Zixi's official rhetorical answer, and continued to ask: "In the trailer just now, I can see that Carlos, who you starred in, is a mercenary with strong military strength. You yourself received formal military training at a military training camp in New Jersey, do you think that is what led to this role? ”

"There must be a reason for this! After all, director Werther also needs to find a more professional person to play this role. But I don't think the director and producers chose me for that reason alone, and if that were the case, I'm afraid that the hundreds of thousands of U.S. soldiers who are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq would all be more qualified than me. Feng Zixi shrugged his shoulders and coped with the past easily.

"May I ask Zixi, do you concentrate on your development in the United States after [Pirates of the Caribbean] when you appear in Hollywood films again, and reduce the chances of appearing in South Korea in the future?" A reporter who was clearly Asian stood up and asked in plain Korean.
