Boot press conference.

This is a kind of pre-launch promotion work for Asian films.

Generally, in Hollywood, there is no habit of holding a boot press conference.

Although Hollywood blockbusters also often hold press conferences, they are all warm-up promotional activities after the filming of the film is over and before the release date.

Very few Hollywood movies will hold a special press conference before the start-up.

But who called Wu Yuan, the director, is from China.

Wu Yuan's Fu, Disney and Universal and other Haolaiwu six who have cooperated with him can be regarded as having a lot of in-depth understanding of China or the Asian film industry.

They know that in Asian countries, there is a form of publicity such as a start-up press conference.

Now that I know the news of the start of the movie, there are too many media reporters gathered outside the studio.

In order to keep them from hindering the normal shooting, the heads of Universal and Paramount also thought of the kind of start-up press conferences that Asian films often do.

Not to mention, this kind of publicity method is indeed a good way to get the media together and announce the film project to the media to satisfy their desire for interviews.

The media got the press release, the crew got the warm-up publicity, and the staff didn't have to worry about it, and every day reporters stared at the studio trying to pull the actors for interviews.

Win-win!

This kind of excellent idea in the Chinese film industry can also be eclectic!

In this regard, Wu Yuan has nothing to do.

"OK, you can arrange it." Wu Yuan nodded: "I only have one request, that is, as soon as possible, don't delay the filming of the crew any longer." ”

The next day, the ballroom on the second floor of the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, which was originally used for large banquets, was set up as the scene of a press conference.

The media, paparazzi, and reporters from all walks of life, carrying long guns and short cannons, almost filled the entire banquet hall, and only a gap was left on the front press table.

The seats, arranged in a long row, were still empty.

However, in the lounge backstage of the banquet hall, the leading actors of the "Interstellar" crew are all here.

Max Mikkelsen who plays the actor Cooper, Michael Kane, a Hollywood veteran actor who plays Professor Brand, and Anne Hathaway who plays Cooper's daughter, plus Liu Yifei who plays Professor Brand's daughter.

These four are the leading actors of "Interstellar", and as for the other supporting roles, they are not used to participate in the launch conference.

"Hey, my actors."

"It's great to see you in the best possible form and I hope we can get all the best with our cooperation over the next few months."

Holding Liu Yifei's waist with one hand, Wu Yuan did not hide his relationship with Liu Yifei in front of several actors, and greeted everyone with a smile.

Anne Hathaway, who was wearing a relatively simple white suit and standing aside with her chest crossed, stayed on Wu Yuan's hand for a moment before she smiled: "Wow, this is Crysta, sure enough, the real person is as beautiful as in the movie." ”

"It's been a long time since there has been such a beautiful Asian actor in Hollywood."

"Daniel, you have a real eye."

Wu Yuan cocked his chin proudly, held Liu Yifei's hand tightly, and said in a sneering voice: "That's, of course my vision is the best." ”

"You may not know that Crysta is called Yuan Girl in Huaxia, and Bang Girl is the same meaning."

"I discovered and cultivated her."

Liu Yifei reached out and hammered Wu Yuan's shoulder with some amusement, causing a commotion.

The most heckling is Max Mikkelsen, although Max's screen image is always in the style of "big villain", and looking at his face, I think he is sinister and cunning, but in fact, his character is quite good.

Although he is not an extrovert, he is not the kind of gloomy person, and he likes to joke.

"Alright." Wu Yuan stopped holding Liu Yifei, smiled and clapped his hands: "Guys, it's time for us to appear for an interview." ”

"Remember, except for not divulging the plot, you can talk about anything else."

After speaking, he led the four actors out of the lounge and walked towards the front desk of the banquet hall.

"They're coming!"

"Wow, it's Anne Hathaway!"

“Daniel！”

In the shouting of the press group, Wu Yuan took the four leading actors and sat down on the stage of the press conference.

The host invited by Universal began to control the scene.

"Friends from the media, good afternoon, welcome to the launch of the "Interstellar" movie jointly produced by Paramount, Universal and Light Times."

"I know you have a lot of questions that you want to ask our excellent directors and actors, so I won't waste everyone's time."

"Let's get straight to the interview."

The host clearly knew why the media on the scene came, and he didn't talk nonsense, and directly lit up the media.

A reporter from the Los Angeles Times was the first to be clicked, stood up and asked excitedly: "I want to ask Director Daniel, according to the information that has been announced, is this "Interstellar" a science fiction movie, right?" ”

"The reason why you want to make a sci-fi film is because of the success of your 'Gravity' in Huaxia, does it make you feel that you can make a sci-fi film that is more suitable for a global audience?"

Is Gravity a good movie?

If this is a Hollywood work, then Hollywood reporters will definitely praise it without hesitation.

But this is a Chinese film, whether it is from the ideological or the camp, Hollywood will not give too much praise to this movie.

Even the film was finally released in North America and grossed more than $20 million.

But amazingly, except for the astronomical circle and some hard sci-fi fans, most of the rest of the North American public knows nothing about this movie.

Neither any media has written a film review column for "Gravity", and the discussion of the film on the Internet has been limited to a few small circles, and it is difficult to set off a big wave.

This is the result of the tacit and joint efforts of the major film and television companies of Hollywood.

However, these reporters are people who grasp public opinion, not people who are dominated by public opinion, they can still make an objective evaluation of "Gravity" and recognize Wu Yuan's science fiction film directing ability.

"There's a reason for that." Wu Yuan nodded: "The success of "Gravity" really gave me a lot of confidence and made me believe that I can also make good, excellent science fiction movies. ”

"But I wanted to make Interstellar, not just because of that, but more importantly because I love the story."

"When I got the original script for the film from Paramount, I wanted to make this movie, and I thought it was a great story, a movie that really has the spirit of science fiction, not the kind of fake science fiction that is under the banner of science fiction, but in fact it is just blindly piling up special effects."

The reporter sat down satisfied, and the headline of the Los Angeles Times tomorrow's sub-page was there - [Daniel is dissatisfied with Hollywood being full of all kinds of fake science fiction films, thinking that Hollywood science fiction movies have lost the spirit of science fiction!] 】

Another reporter stood up and pointed the microphone at Anne Hathaway.

"I want to ask Miss Anne Hathaway, it is rumored that you used unfair competition to squeeze out Natalie Portman, which led to becoming the star of "Interstellar"."

"Do you want to respond to that?"
