Chapter 241: Press Conference
In September, the weather is still hot.
And the movement of the film and television industry is also slowly rising like this temperature.
All the movies that are ready to be released in October have all started to warm up and promote, and the overwhelming movie trailers are emerging.
Some entertainment news newspapers, the pages have never stopped, and new movie details are revealed every day.
For example, a certain actor participated in a director's work, a certain movie masterpiece invested more than 100 million yuan, and a certain film company invited an overseas special effects team.
Today is the day when Director Wang and Director Qian held a film press conference, in addition to the two directors, several actors also participated.
"This time, we started with traditional drama themes, and we really found a lot of content that could be explored, in order to show the audience a different perspective of drama!"
"Breaking the audience's stereotype of drama is very useful for saving some traditional cultures that are about to disappear!"
As Director Wang spoke, the flash in front of him kept turning on.
"Hello Director Qian, I want to ask you if you have found the commonality between drama and film when you invited former drama masters to participate in the movie this time?"
Director Qian thought for a while and said: "Drama and film are two different artistic carriers, and their forms of expression are also very different, but I can responsibly say that the two have something in common!"
"Whether it is a movie or a play, it is shown to the audience through performances, and it receives applause and applause from the audience."
The previous problems are not tricky, they are very gentle, and they can be dealt with casually.
But the reporters' follow-up questions began to appear pertinent.
"I want to ask Miss Sixia below, I heard that the crew of "Kung Fu" invited you to play the heroine before, but you refused, are you not optimistic enough about Director Shen's movie?"
As soon as these words came out, the director and actors on the table were stunned, and their faces looked unnatural.
Especially Director Wang and Director Qian, both of them didn't expect such a thing to be known to reporters.
Is the company out of the house?
The two directors glanced at each other, according to common sense, this kind of thing should not be spread outside, only the possibility that the company is out of the ghost and the news is leaked out.
Kacha Kacha!
The flash of the camera suddenly became intense, and some photographers directly gave close-ups of the faces of the two directors and Fang Sixia in turn, so clear that even a frown could be seen clearly.
Fang Sixia frowned slightly, she didn't expect such a problem at all.
She opened her mouth and replied: "There is indeed such a thing, and I am still very happy about Director Shen's invitation."
"It's not that I'm not optimistic about Director Shen's new work, but I don't have the confidence to control a work with a theme like martial arts."
This is a beautiful thing to say, Director Wang and Director Qian are relieved, fortunately nothing else happened.
In order to avoid such a problem from happening again, Director Wang cleared his throat and said:
"Ahem, I hope everyone's questions don't involve the works of other directors as much as possible, after all, it's the film conference of "Fenghua", hahaha!"
Hearing Director Wang's words, other reporters secretly shouted that it was a pity that they couldn't dig up bigger gossip.
Then some of the questions are basically the same as usual, for the box office estimate, what are the main competitors this time, etc., after a press conference, the invited media will present the press conference in the form of news.
This is also one of the main purposes of the film press conference, in order to heat up the atmosphere of the movie, get more exposure, and raise the audience's expectations.
With the press conference of "Fenghua", Shen Feng also prepared his own film press conference one after another.
In this press conference, he invited Li Xingzai and Lin Chen to participate together, this lineup can be said to be very shabby, except for him, the two actors are not well-known at all.
"Director Shen, I'm a little nervous, what should I do if I say the wrong thing when the time comes?!" Lin Chen's face was nervous, and his palms were sweating.
The same is true for Li Xingzai, he is also attending the film conference for the first time, for fear of answering the wrong question and causing trouble to Shen Feng.
Looking at the expressions of the two, Shen Feng also sighed secretly, these two guys are still too tender.
"Don't be afraid, just remember the points I told you earlier!"
"Don't say what you think about the box office, just say what you want to do!"
"Those questions that you don't know how to answer, you just need to talk about him."
After saying that, Shen Feng also wanted to laugh a little, why wasn't he a newcomer.
This is the second time he has participated in the film conference, and he was pulled by Director Wang to participate in the film conference of "Let the Bullets Fly" as a screenwriter.
Now that he is a director, he has to bring two other newcomer stars to attend the film conference, and his identity changes are not ordinary fast.
"Go, come with me, just relax."
Squeak~
Walking to the front of the stage, Shen Feng glanced at the media who attended the press conference, and there were many fewer than expected.
This is the embarrassment of a rookie director, even if it is a development conference, not much media is invited.
Of course, there are still a few heavyweight media outlets, but they are all for the sake of Shen Feng's face.
For example, Shengtian Entertainment News under Shengtian Satellite TV, mouthpiece media under Galaxy, and several media brought by Director Wang to Shen Feng.
Overall, these media are still very good for a rookie director like Shen Feng.
Kacha Kacha!
The flash is mainly focused on Shen Feng's body, and when Lin Chen and Li Xingzai appeared, there were very few shots willing to give them, after all, they were not famous.
"This time, thank you very much for your willingness to come to the film conference of "Kung Fu", and if you have any questions next, the two leading actors and I will try our best to answer everyone."
"By the way, let me introduce you, this is Li Xingzai, the male protagonist of "Kung Fu", and this is Lin Chen, the heroine."
Katsa!
A few more scattered flashes lit up, and the press conference officially began.
"Director Shen, the current market is not very optimistic about movies with a theme like "Kung Fu", why would you choose a theme like this?"
"To put it bluntly, making a movie is indeed to please the market, that is, the audience, but who dares to say that they will be able to understand the market?"
"I think the audience cares most about the content of the movie itself, rather than the subject matter."
The reporter recorded Shen Feng's answers, and soon threw out a question again.
"You are very bold to use actors this time, most of them are newcomers and unknown people, what do you think of these actors who participated in the film?"
Ask yourself!
Li Xingzai and Lin Chen's bodies tensed up at the same time, and they were worried in their hearts.
Shen Feng smiled slightly: "It's quite sad to say, because I'm a rookie director, and there aren't many people who are willing to participate in my movie."
"But I'm very happy with these new guys, they played really well and they met my expectations."
Since the press conference, Shen Feng's tone and attitude have been very confident, and the reporters' questions have become more and more bold.
"What do you think the box office ranking of "Kung Fu" will be in this period in October?"
The sensitive one is coming, once this kind of question is not answered well, then the follow-up will be a slap in the face!
"This year's October schedule is different from the past, after all, there are a lot of overseas movies coming in, and it's hard for me to make a conclusion before I have seen their movies."
"Of course, who wouldn't want their film to be the box office winner?"
The phrase sounded more like a joke, and the reporters who asked the question laughed.
Then several questions are still expected, such as box office estimates, some details of the movie, and what you want to say to the audience.
Li Xingzai and Lin Chen did not come in vain, and the reporters' questions also took care of them.
Overall, this press conference was relatively uneventful, and there were no major mistakes.
That's it, the movie conference of "Kung Fu" is officially over, and then we are waiting for the movie to be released!
