For the press conference of Wang Wei's new film, reporters in the entire media circle were moved, and the reporters who were qualified to participate in the press conference were even more excited.

This is not surprising.

First of all, there is actually a lot of news related to Wang Wei, but the news that he is interviewed is rare;

Especially crucially, compared with those celebrities who dare not speak without the interview outline, Wang Wei dares to speak!

Therefore, as soon as I heard that Wang Wei was going to be interviewed publicly, almost everyone had a thought - this guy is afraid that he is going to do something again!

Even the media reporters under the five flags love such a moment!

did not disappoint them - at the beginning of the press conference, the supporters first announced that Dunhuang would invest in Wang Wei to shoot a sci-fi blockbuster, the crew had been officially established, and the name of the film was officially determined to be "Jurassic Park", and the production cost was initially planned to be 200 million yuan!

The blockbuster will be aimed at next year's summer slot, when it will be released simultaneously around the world......

As soon as this announcement came out, it immediately caused a sensation at the entire press conference.

Not to mention the global simultaneous release or something, the production cost of 200 million yuan alone made the reporters in an uproar.

Wang Wei was on the stage, looking around at everyone's faces with different expressions: excitement, doubt, deep thought, and all kinds of expressions reminded him of the people in Dunhuang who were also stunned at the internal preparatory meeting not long ago-

Overall, "Jurassic Park" is a typical "soft sci-fi" story, and there are not too many obstacles to moving to any cultural background.

The script has been written a long time ago, and it has not only been registered in China, but also registered with the Screenwriters Guild in Hollywood and applied for protection.

Otherwise, although this time and space has never heard of such a book with the same name in the United States, but when it is not guaranteed, this idea will be snatched away - or that sentence, never underestimate the flash of inspiration of any filmmaker!

Of course, the biggest selling point of this blockbuster is not the so-called "humanistic connotation", but the dinosaurs, and whether it can vividly reproduce this prehistoric overlord of the earth.

After all, there has never been a documentary or dinosaur movie that has made a dinosaur texture that is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

And this requires a long preparation period and huge investment.

Originally, the initial production budget of 150 million yuan was already the result of considering that the technical accumulation of the Dunhuang special effects studio was not enough at most at the middle and upper level, and it was necessary to burn money to develop new technologies;

Unexpectedly, after Wang Wei was inspired by Shen Zhenyi, he was really bold enough to build a super-large studio, or rather, a real "Jurassic Park"!

"It's a bit of a waste to build such a large, realistic studio for a single film – a similar effect can be achieved with the combination of location shooting and computer special effects;"

"But if you really want to make a series and shoot several films, this studio can be recycled again and again - no one can't see the potential of this film to be serialized."

"As Jane said, if the series is a success, the studio can also be used as a tourist attraction – there are definitely many fans from all over the world who come here just to see Jurassic Park;"

"And when the whole series of movies is filmed, we can also strengthen the buildings inside and make it into an amusement park-like existence......

Of course, this ambitious plan was matched by a huge budget skyrocket.

Such a grand investment plan also worried everyone in the Dunhuang management, including Lao Wang-

If all goes well, this will naturally lead to significant cost savings; But if it fails, it means paying far more than you invested in a movie, which is a huge gamble!

This is not about the success or failure of a movie, even if it is a plan proposed by the big boss, Dunhuang still set up an evaluation team in a serious manner, and even asked Wang Wei to come up with the script of the second part of the series and the adjusted shooting plan;

In the end, it was also because the two films in Dunhuang's summer file this summer were successful under unfavorable circumstances, and the continuous success would give people infinite confidence, so the budget adjustment of Wang Wei's new film was passed.

The reporters at the press conference didn't know the considerations behind this, they were simply shocked by this huge investment and were speechless for a long time - the production budget is 200 million, and what about the total cost in the end? 300 million? Or even more?

After a short silence, all the reporters couldn't help but discuss-

"Dunhuang has not been very successful in blockbuster investment before, who gave them the courage to play so big this time?"

"Who else? Wang Weibei. ”

"The question is, isn't Wang Wei making a special effects blockbuster for the first time? Not to mention an investor, even I, a person who has nothing to do with myself, dare not think about such a thing as throwing hundreds of millions into a movie. The people of Dunhuang are really bold! ”

"It's just announced to the public, whether it really invested so much money, who knows? Maybe Dunhuang just wants to make a news point and let us help him hype......"

"Hehe, when everyone is blind, as soon as the movie is released, whether the money is spent or not, everyone has a scale in their hearts; What's more, if the movie doesn't work well, the huge cost publicity will only be counterproductive......"

Many reporters have even begun to wonder - if this film fails, what will it mean for Dunhuang? There's a real chance that it will be on the verge of going out of business again because of a blockbuster failure! What a magnificent and spectacular fall it would be, what a moving scene?!

Thinking like this, when Wang Wei was officially interviewed, all the lenses, all the microphones, and all the cameras were all aimed at him, and the reporters couldn't wait to ask questions-

The host casually clicked on a reporter, and the first question was, "Director Wang, did you make such a big bet on your first special effects blockbuster in order to have a better chance of winning in the ring with the Big Five?" ”

Good guys, you can see that everyone wants to do something.

Wang Wei had expected it, flicked the microphone next to his mouth, cleared his throat, and after gaining everyone's attention, he showed a faint smile,

"To tell you the truth, the real reason is that the 100th anniversary of the birth of the movie is approaching, and I will join in the fun......"

Hey? The reporters were collectively stunned.

No one expected him to give such an answer.

At least until now, no one has realized, or rather, that no director has publicly said that he wants to present a gift for the centenary of the film's birth;

If Wang Wei hadn't had such an analysis in the 94-year film year of his life, he wouldn't have noticed such a time node.

So, reporters were unconsciously attracted by this answer, or nodded their heads, or quickly jotted down notes in their shorthand books—this is another news point that can be hyped.

Of course, today's biggest news point will always be Wang Wei.

Immediately afterwards, a reporter who reacted quickly raised his hand and asked, "In other words, Director Wang is confident that he will conquer filmmakers all over the world next year?" ”

Since it is a gift for the centennial of the birth, it must be a gathering of good films, without a little confidence, who dares to come to "join in the fun"?

"I said that I was just having fun, why didn't anyone believe it?"

Wang Wei dragged out his voice, suddenly showed a mouthful of white teeth, and laughed innocently,

"Besides, we are still facing the joint suppression of the five major to conquer the world? I snickered if I could withstand the pressure at home. ”

As soon as these words came out, the shutter sound of the on-site camera was almost connected.

It's coming, it's coming! Wang Wei's first public response to the five major suppressions is finally here!

The enthusiasm of the reporters was already very high, and now it has reached a new level-

"Can you talk about the conflict between Dunhuang and the Five Greats?"

"Well, it's not uncommon for studios in the industry to clash with each other, after all, filmmaking is a very people-driven industry, and successful filmmakers have very strong personalities......

"So, you don't care about the suppression of the Big Five?"

"What makes you think I'm such a good bully?" Wang Wei asked with a puzzled expression.

There was a soft laugh from the crowd.

Wang Wei also smiled and shook his head, "I mean, I can actually understand the Big Five. ”

"There is only one point in resources, and there is fierce competition within the group, not to mention the outside. I am in the position of the Big Five, and when I see a challenger chasing behind my ass who is almost impossible to miss to seize market share, my first reaction is to either swallow him or kill him! ”

“……”

There was silence.

It's not an accusation, it's not a miserable sale, it's "understanding" - understand your sister, should this be the reaction of the suppressed party?

Rao knew that Wang Wei would not be so cooperative, and many reporters were almost laughed at by him.

"And that doesn't seem to shake your confidence," one reporter asked sharply, "aren't you really afraid that you'll fail?" You must know that anyone who is targeted by the five major alliances has a very small chance of winning rationally; The most ideal situation that Dunhuang has to face can also be described as nine deaths and one life-"

"Yes, you're right, there's a good chance we won't get through it, but I'm scared!" Unexpectedly, Wang Wei nodded very dryly.

It's just that almost all the reporters squinted at him - we almost believed you!

Wang Wei coughed lightly, and his face couldn't be more sincere: "Really, although I often use a sentence of chicken soup to encourage Dunhuang employees - anything that can't kill me will eventually make me stronger; But on the other hand, if it is killed, then it ......"

He paused, and someone subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's really dead!" Wang Wei is serious.

“……”

Ignoring the black lines on the reporters' heads, Wang Wei continued, "No one can understand the horror of the Big Five better than us. ”

"It is said that the media is the most terrible force in the world, because it can manipulate people's hearts and turn black and white upside down, it is the mouthpiece of capital and the hotbed of crime; And the Big Five, which control the media, can make everyone see what they want them to see, and think of what they want them to think of......"

After a period of complaining that almost stunned the reporters, Wang Wei glanced around at everyone,

"Having said that, whether what I'm talking about now can be seen and heard by the public, it's really uncertain!"

Some people chuckled, and some people complained frantically in their hearts - if you don't call the reporters of Weibo News, the media from all over the country will come, who can completely control the speech? What's more, you also called an Internet media reporter from Yishui, isn't it just to guard against the Big Five?

After complaining on and off the stage, Wang Wei's expression was correct.

"I know that if I give up and be big, stay honestly in the safe zone, dedicate my talents, and exchange peace between the Big Five...... Sounds like a win-win idea, seems pretty safe, but ......"

"Who put me at a rebellious age?"

The reporters were in high spirits, and many of them almost burst into tears - the main topic can be regarded as coming!

Then I heard Wang Wei accentuate his tone, "So, for the unanimous suppression of the five majors, I only have one sentence - welcome to kill us, or, be killed by us!" ”

There was a low exclamation from the audience, and even the neutral reporters were shocked.

"Can we understand that this is Dunhuang's public declaration of war against the Five Greats?"

Previously, regardless of whether it was the public disclosure of the industry or the public's doxing, neither side responded publicly, let alone declared war, as if they were leaving a way out for themselves.

Because of this, Wang Wei's words seem so irrational.

After all, after the public declaration of war, even for the sake of face, the Big Five would not let go of Dunhuang easily; Even the supporting crowd of onlookers did not allow it to stop and sue for peace - either the weak defeated the strong, or they fell completely, and there was no third way.

Wang Wei was noncommittal about the statement of "declaration of war", snapped his fingers, and his expression became serious.

"In fact, the times have reached this point, and technology has developed to this point, and there may be lucky people at any time - and at the same time very powerful people - to become the chosen ones to achieve the steps that will push the times forward."

"You're sure to think I'm talking about myself, don't worry, I'm not that narcissistic."

Someone chuckled unconsciously.

"I just noticed that next year is destined to be a milestone year – I smell the restlessness and restlessness of filmmakers all over the world, the older generation still retains its creative energy, the backbone glows with new energy and brilliance, and the new generation of talent has come to the fore......"

"Whose orbit will the new order fall into? I don't know, probably no one knows, it's just a war; So, come on, the big scuffle! ”

Some journalists finally understood - he was "declaring war", but not against the Big Five, but on all filmmakers in the country, well, even all filmmakers in the world!

This is the rhythm of dragging everyone into the water!

No one noticed that the smile on Wang Wei's face "I'm just fanning the flames" suddenly stagnated, and the atmosphere in the venue was a little crying and laughing at first, but in the end, I don't know who started it, the reporters still commended this guy with enthusiastic applause and laughter......

Wang Wei's declaration reached the ears of a number of industry bigwigs as quickly as possible after the press conference - Luo Yuehui of Tangyu Media, Zhao Zhihou of China Media, Hou Mai of Eastern Pictures, and executives of other studios......

Some people showed disdain, some people smiled, and some shouted and cursed......

But no matter what the reaction was, they realized one thing-

The wind is blowing!

……

I saw that a book friend asked me to explode for the New Year, well, this is the rhythm of forcing the author to death...... Striving for the Spring Festival to continue to change, it is the author's last stubbornness~~~
