"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the press conference of Atlantis MGM Pictures, this year will be a bumper year for the company, according to Mr. Wu Chen's decision and arrangement, the specific film shooting list is as follows, please record carefully. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"The first in the Harry Potter film series, the second film in the Matrix film series, the second film in the Fast and Furious film series, the second film in the Night Legends film series, the first film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the first film in the Tomb Raider film series."
"In addition, there are the first film adaptation of the Marvel Comics "Fantastic Four" series, the first "Spider-Man" film series and "Daredevil Man", and of course, the high-profile "Million Dollar Baby", a total of ten films."
"Starting today, ten crews will run at the same time and enter the preparatory stage, and nine films will meet the audience in the second half of the year, the first part of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, because of the long filming cycle, is scheduled to be staged next Christmas."
"Director Wu Chen first filmed "Million Dollar Baby", which is the company's annual focus and the phased finale of his directorial career, the second film in the "Legend of the Night" series, the filming was delayed by a month, but both films will be staged this year.
In view of the reasons that everyone knows, director Wu Chen decided after careful consideration that from next year, he will not participate in the competition for Best Director at the Academy Awards for the time being, giving other directors more room to play. Now I'm starting to announce the list of directors and actors for each crew......" said Allen, the general manager of the film company, for more than an hour.
Wu Chen will no longer participate in the competition for Best Director at the Academy Awards for a short period of time, which is major news, reporters first let out an exclamation, and then took out their mobile phones like doping and began to send messages, competing for the headline on the front page.
Except for the year when "Titanic" was staged, Wu Chen won the Academy Award for Best Director from the first movie, and next year is the fifth time, Hollywood directors have been saying that Wu Chen should withdraw from the competition for Best Director, his record is unprecedented, and it may even be unprecedented, at the age of thirty, he has time and opportunity, and he can't be too self-conscious.
The directors of each crew began to lead the actors on stage, tell the general plot of the movie, and accept interviews with reporters, but all these directors combined, there is no way to compare with the attention that Wu Chen has received.
"May I ask Director Wu Chen, why did you make this surprising decision not to compete for Best Director at the Academy Awards in a short period of time? I think this will make a lot of your loyal fans sad. "The Hollywood Reporter has always been the first to ask questions, and this is the advantage of the landlords.
"Not only will I withdraw from the competition for best director, but I will also reduce the number of films I make, maybe only one film in a year or even two years, I am ready to implement a cradle plan, discover potential directors and actors, and use my experience to guide everyone to grow up as soon as possible, which will be more meaningful than me getting the honor of best director."
"When the director shoots the movie, it is also a huge mental work, after a few years, I feel a little tired, I need to relax and rest, I also need to enjoy the fun of life, let my state gradually recover, health is very important, my fans, should have this patience." Wu Chen said with a smile.
"May I ask Director Wu Chen, why did the "Tomb Raider" series, which was originally a film announced by Paramount this year, become a film of Atlantis-MGM Pictures?" A reporter from the Los Angeles Times asked.
"This is a normal cooperation between our two companies, Paramount is very optimistic about the film rights of the three sets of comics of "Hulk", "The Punisher" and "Humanoid", and the reason why I agreed to make this exchange is also to let the audience and Marvel comic fans see more adapted movies as soon as possible, and I have a lot of confidence in Miss Julie." Wu Chen said.
"May I ask Director Wu Chen, in the first part of the "Tomb Raider" series of movies, there are two actors from the East, can you introduce why you did this?" A reporter from The New York Times asked.
"Although tomb robbery is a violation of the law, such stories have a long history, especially as an ancient civilization, China, which has a history of more than 2,000 years and has formed a unique ancient profession, I am ready to make significant changes to some of the plots of this film to add mysterious culture from the East, and the audience will inevitably get unexpected surprises."
"These two are Chinese young actors that I admire, the one on the left is called Wu Jing, an action actor with real Chinese kung fu, and a handsome guy who fascinates women, his temperament is also good and evil, whether he plays a decent or villainous character, I believe they are very good."
"The one on the right is called Liu Yunlong, he is a very talented and temperamental, and he is also a very smart actor, calm and introverted, no matter what role he controls, he is very comfortable with his actor skills, he is a man who can make people hate to the bones, and also make people love to the bones, he will serve as the assistant director of this film." Wu Chen said.
The two films in the "Tomb Raider" series are considered to be Julie's famous works, and they also have a great influence in Hollywood, and they are one of the few masterpieces of Paramount.
However, in Wu Chen's view, whether it is a foreigner for tomb robbery or exploration, whether it is the display of cultural heritage or the creation of atmosphere, there is still too much room for growth.
Wu Chen is ready to invest a lot of money to make a large series of at least four or five movies on this theme, the heroine does not have to be Julie, the script is written by him himself, and the wind of tomb robbery in Hollywood is ignited by him himself.
The "Mummy" series has allowed Andy Lau to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, which also shows that Westerners are not so repulsive to Orientals, as long as you have such ability, you can also get a high box office.
Wu Chen is ready to introduce more Chinese actors into Hollywood, not to say that those who are not recognized by Hollywood are not good actors, this is a kind of competition between Eastern and Western cultures, Western countries always use art forms such as movies to erode the culture of Eastern countries with private goods, and Eastern countries can also use their own culture to change the understanding of some Western countries.
