"Filming has always been my idea, but I have to admit that the current script is more attractive to me, and on the basis of inheriting the essence of ancient mythology, the script written by Chairman Lin himself inherits his usual excellent and impeccable.
A good movie needs a good script to support it, and the script factor is the most important reason for me to change my mind temporarily! ”
"Did you agree to star in this movie because of the script?" After Tsui Hark answered the questions he remembered, the reporters turned their questions to Cheng Long, who had just returned to Hong Kong from Hollywood.
"I love my role in the script, and I'm honored to have a cameo role like that in a movie! Mr. Lin and I have always been very good friends, and I am very happy to be able to work together again this time! It's quite a brilliant script. And the creativity is unique, Mr. Lin's work. Audiences have never been disappointed, and this time will be no exception! ”
Although he only had a short scene at the beginning of the whole plot, Cheng Long still politely expressed his trust in Lin Mu's script. Although he didn't say it explicitly, many people knew in their hearts that Cheng Long was able to star in this movie, mostly because of his good personal relationship with Lin Mu.
After asking Cheng Long, the next "patronage" of the media was naturally Zhou Runfa, who was sitting next to Lin Mu and had been talking and laughing with him in a whisper, and this time the reporter's question became very direct, and he came up and asked: "Do you like the role you are going to play?" ”
"After acting in movies for so many years, in fact, I have always had a dream of being a hero in my heart, and now director Li Lou and director Tsui Hark have realized this dream at the same time. In fact, the role I play in this movie actually has a lot in common, and it is also full of righteous heroes, although the two directors will have different interpretation angles, the only difference is that I may not be a qualified mentor in the middle, and I am not an obedient apprentice. And this movie will make up for my regrets." Zhou Yunfa intentionally or unintentionally revealed some plots, of course, this is also a way to attract the attention of the media, in this regard, Zhou Yunfa can be described as experienced.
Of course, in the end, he didn't forget to leave a suspense, "Of course, this movie attracts me not only the character itself, I also have a mysterious partner in the film, and she is also a big motivation for me to star in this movie!" ”
The biggest attraction of suspense to people is the unpredictability of the answer, so it is up to the reporter to ask. He refused to reveal more information about this, and the other main creators present obviously knew about it, but they all tacitly kept silent, which will be the biggest suspense left by the film to the audience!
If it is said that the film's launch conference left people with a small suspense, then the film's new film press conference also held in Xiangjiang should bring people an incomparable shock. Under the banner of comprehensive transcendence of special effects production, this film still follows the usual propaganda route of Hollywood technical films, and this time, the quadruple film can be said to be in the limelight.
For technical reasons, early 3D videos could not be longer than 1 hour. But the new film directed by James Cameron finally broke through this limitation and became an important milestone in the history of technological development. The first 3D film of the new century became the first Hollywood film to be released simultaneously in 3D and traditional theaters.
Due to the further agreement of Paramount's intention to cooperate with 3D companies, James Ten Mellon, who was only planning to make a 3D version of the ending at the beginning, "temporarily changed his mind." "Hollywood's first commercial film to be launched in 3D and regular at the same time was born. Of course, fans pay attention to this movie, more because of the film's strong creative lineup.
This film should be regarded as the third official collaboration between James Cameron and Lin Mu, and the first two collaborations between the two have brought fans around the world a visual carnival. One is a director who is called "omnipotent" by Hollywood, and the other is a screenwriter who has set countless records with "genius screenwriters", and the box office of this film is unanimously favored by the media. The film will be released simultaneously in more than 15,000 theaters around the world, and Paramount has just announced the release date of the film, and many of them are booked out at the box office on their opening day.
Of course, in addition to the director and screenwriter, the cast of the film has also attracted the attention of many fans, Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage has become the first "unloaded" in the new century and left a deep impact on the audience with her cold and sexy Angelina Flavor Box, Lin Zhiling, who showed the elegant and chic charm of oriental women in China and Israel Female Ghost Xiaoqian, and Gong Li, a Chinese actress who has starred in the film many times at international film awards, formed the Bond girl of this film, and Lin Mu, who is also the screenwriter and producer of the film, "cameo" in the film. also made many viewers look forward to this film.
Compared with Tsui Hark's launch conference, James Cameron's new film has obviously attracted more international attention, and it can be seen that most of the seats at the press conference are foreign journalists. is still a couple working together to make a sweet appearance, and the appearance of Lin Mu and Lin Zhiling did not cause a sensation on the scene like the last time. The reporters present were all reporters from mainstream newspapers and magazines from various countries, and although there were already a lot of questions about the couple in their hearts, the professional quality still made them hold back their curiosity, and they did not forget the theme of this press conference.
The people who appeared at today's press conference were not people they could easily ignore.
After watching a footage of the filming. The session of reporters asking questions officially began, and the first ones who were able to get the opportunity to ask questions were naturally several media from Hollywood. "Mr. Cameron, in what ways do you think this film has achieved a breakthrough or transcendence in comparison with your new film?" The first person to ask the question was a reporter from the Los Angeles Times.
"I think the most striking change in this film is the introduction of 3D filmmaking, which will completely change the development of future films, and we have managed to synchronize with the regular version of the film, which I believe is a great leap forward. Perhaps in the near future, we will usher in the era of 3D movies! ”
"After the film, the development of film special effects technology is remarkable, in this film, more new technologies are applied, in fact, now we can produce the same image effect for only half the price, but the special effects production cost of the film has not been reduced. On the contrary, there is an increase, and the fact that this film surpasses in technology is beyond the mother's doubt. "James Ten Mellon expressed full confidence in the technical investment in the film.
"Secondly, I think it's the plot of the film. Despite the film's global success, the plot has received some criticism, and I've even heard things like "as a romance movie, this film doesn't pass at all". As James Cameron said this, he glanced in the direction where the Hollywood media reporters were sitting.
"And this time, I've provided a perfect script, and the film will definitely have some changes from the previous four films in terms of plot. James Cameron only does something unique, and this film can technically become a new benchmark for similar films, and I am also convinced that this will be an Oscar-winning film. James Ten Mellon also praised Lin Mu's script.
"If this is a standard 3D movie, then there don't seem to be many shots that can use special effects on such a large scale, and under the framework of the plot, how will the technical advantages of film linkage be reflected?" This time it was a reporter from The Sun who asked the question.
"The special effects technology of the film will focus on the first 20 minutes of the film, and I am sure that as long as you can walk into the cinema, you will be blown away by this ending.
Especially for those who are able to walk into a 3D theater. That immersive visual experience will be like never before! ”
"Why did Mr. Cameron think of inviting Mr. Lin to star in this movie? Finally, it was the turn of the New York Times reporter to ask questions, and he threw out the questions he had carefully prepared.
"Because I think Lin Mu's genius is not only manifested in the screenwriting and production, but also in his acting talent, but fortunately there is a suitable role in this film. You know it's a lot harder to convince him to be an actor than it is to make a good film, and luckily I did. Even though I'm sitting right next to me, I want to thank him and the strong friendship we've built over the years, and it's helped me a lot in this matter! James Cameron said very funny.
"So Mr. Lin Mu, how do you feel about being an actor for the first time? James Cameron just explained it. The next reporter to ask the question immediately grasped the topic.
"The job of an actor is far more difficult than I imagined. Especially the change of identity standing in front of the camera, I didn't adapt very much at first. Creating the story as a screenwriter and acting out the story as an actor are two completely different feelings. The screenwriter narrates the story from the perspective of a bystander, and the actors put themselves in the shoes of the story. It's amazing to believe that you've become your own character. Lin Mu simply explained some of his feelings from the different perspectives of screenwriters and actors.
"Mr. and Miss Lin are a couple in reality, on the movie screen. Will the audience get a chance to see the two of you as a couple? On the question of whether Lin Mu will continue to be an actor, reporters began to ask questions relentlessly.
"Being an actor has provided me with a new perspective on filmmaking, and being an actor is just an attempt, and it doesn't mean that I will develop in this direction in the future. In the future, my main focus will be on production and screenwriting. Although the reporter asked about the two of them, the main answer was completed by Lin Mu.
"Being an actor is not the most important job for me and him, I have been working as a host here in Wanwan, and he has to be more responsible for the management of the company. Whether or not you can meet such an opportunity, I think it depends on fate. Lin Zhiling added.
"Why did Mr. Lin come up with the idea of writing this script in the first place?" This small problem has become a problem that Lin Mu will encounter almost every time he releases a new film, of course, the background of script creation is different every time, so it is not very "outdated" for a reporter to ask such a question.
"This story is actually derived from the plot of an upcoming movie by Xiangjiang Golden Harvest Film Company. At the time, I didn't want to write this story, but Cameron approached me with a collaboration with MGM. ”
"Actually, I said it a long time ago. Paramount doesn't refuse to work with other studios, and I think this movie is a great proof of that. In a way, I agree that this script was also written to show Paramount an attitude towards the future, and Paramount is really strong now, but we don't refuse to cooperate. ”
"I've personally worked with MGM before, and Paramount and MGM have worked together historically, but this is the first time the two companies have worked together since Viacom acquired Paramount. Although the foundation of this collaboration is based on shared interests, the deeper reason is the same values in the making of these kinds of films, and I think this is the real foundation for us to build a relationship of trust with each other! ”
"Does the release of this film mean a new strategic partnership between MGM and Paramount Pictures?" The reporter asked the question this time was MGM's chairman Borg, as a representative of the investor, he was also invited to attend the new film press conference in Xiangjiang.
"Being able to cooperate with an industry-leading company like Paramount is also an improvement for the development of our own company, and we will actively expand the scope and field of cooperation in the future. Of course, Paramount Gong Er will definitely be the object of our cooperation! ”
"Mr. Nicholas, as the latest screen hero James Bond. Do you think your performance can surpass the previous Bond actors? "Nicolas Cage has always been mistaken for Bond, but both director James Cameron and the real Bond Timber are happy to leave the suspense to the audience. But the reporters on the scene were very concerned about this issue, and Nicolas Cage had no choice but to continue to "impersonate" this character who did not belong to him in and out of the play.
