Chapter 452. "Pacific Rim" project [ask for subscription]
"It is a great honor to invite Mr. Han Sanping, Chairman of China Film Group, to hold a joint press conference with us Star Image, and of course I am very grateful to all the media friends who came today."
"To be honest, I didn't expect so many people, it seems that everyone is very concerned about this matter."
"Hehehe, Director Sun, if you don't hold a press conference again, we will go to block your door!"
"Don't don't, it's not good."
Sun Yi is dressed in a casual suit, Han Sanping is sitting on the left and Kent, the representative of Hollywood Winenstein Pictures, and on the right is Liu Yifei and Yang Fan, the general manager of Starry Sky.
The press conference was hosted by Sun Yi, and as soon as he opened, he opened the atmosphere with a few jokes.
"For the next science fiction movie that everyone has been very concerned about recently, Star Image, and the new studio, I would like to make a formal reply first, that is. This is indeed the case. ”
"Director Sun."" Director Sun Yi."
The reporters in the audience raised their hands to ask questions.
Sun Yi smiled and waved his hand to suppress it.
"Don't worry, I'll give you time to ask questions, please let me finish first."
"Before talking about this science fiction movie, I want to talk to you about a term called film industrialization, has anyone heard of it?"
The reporters in the audience looked at each other, and they had never heard of this word.
At this time in 09, the commercial operation of the Chinese film market has not yet been fully popularized, not to mention the further industrialization of films, this word will not be proposed until 2015 after the capital and the film market are deeply bundled, in order to cope with the rapid intensification of market competition.
During the period of 10 to 15 years, it was an era when funds poured in wildly, and dogs could make money making any film, but after 15 years, it didn't work, the audience no longer paid for bad movies, and capital had no choice but to propose a new concept.
It wasn't until the release of "The Wandering Earth" in 2019 that the audience saw a glimmer of the dawn of Chinese film industrialization, but it was immediately dissipated by a "Fortress".
So at this time, it is understandable that reporters don't know, just like when Sun Yi mentioned it to Han Dong, he also needs to explain it in detail.
But it doesn't matter if you don't understand.
Journalists are not academics.
The more they don't understand, the more new the term, the happier they are.
That's the topic, it's the hot spot.
Many sensitive journalists. There was already a look of excitement on his face.
Sun Yi is going to make trouble today.
Actually came up with a proper noun!
Hurry up and shoot it down.
Tomorrow the headlines are there.
"Shocked, young director Sun Yi wants to start the industrialization of Chinese films!! 》
Sun Yi ignored the reporters in the audience, and briefly introduced what is film industrialization from the aspects of standardization, modularization, and process.
"Many people envy Hollywood, saying that Hollywood's blockbusters are good-looking, and their large-scale commercial films can be made like assembly line products, saying that our films should learn from them, and even blindly curry favor for awards and overseas markets, but what do you learn in the end?"
"The middle is not in the middle, the foreign is not foreign, only the skin is seen, but the deep bones are not seen. In the end, we lost our own things. ”
"As everyone knows, the key to Hollywood's success lies in the industrialization of films."
"And today, I, Starry Sky Reflection, want to use the next film to start the industrialization process of Chinese films."
Click, click.
The magnesium lights under the stage flickered wildly.
"Director Sun, can you tell us about the specific steps of the starry sky?"
"Director Sun Yi, may I ask, how are you going to implement it?"
"Sun"
"Everyone, don't be impatient, please ask Chairman Han Sanping to introduce it to us."
The cameras in the audience suddenly turned to Han Sanping.
The latter obviously expected this situation, smiled faintly, put his hand on the microphone in front of him, and said:
"China Film Group will join forces with Star Imaging Film and Television Media Company and Hollywood Weienstein Pictures to jointly invest 400 million RMB, using Sino-US co-production to create a sci-fi film with the highest investment in Chinese films so far, "Shelter 2: Pacific Rim".
"The film inherits the story background of the first part of "Sanctuary", and will bring the story of 6 years after the first part to the screen, telling the story of human beings who put aside their preconceptions and work together to create the ultimate weapon of mecha in the face of the threat of physical monsters, and finally achieve a phased victory.
"The film is directed by me as the chief producer, director Sun Yi is responsible for directing, and the heroine will continue the first part, played by Miss Liu Yifei."
"Yifei, how do you feel about being the heroine again?"
As soon as Han Sanping finished speaking, the reporter couldn't wait to ask questions.
Liu Yifei didn't know if she could answer now, so she quietly glanced at Sun Yi beside her, and after getting a positive look, she happily replied: "Feelings, I must be very happy, I can continue the story of the last Crystal, and I can also experience the shooting of science fiction movies." ”
"Yifei, can you tell us what the specific story is, and who else will star with you, is it director Sun Yi?"
Hearing this question, Liu Yifei pursed her lips and smiled: "The story, can't be spoiled, as for whether the actor is him, leave a suspense for everyone, I can only say that this movie will be very handsome!" ”
"Huh"
Liu Yifei didn't say it, and the reporters in the audience had no choice, so they turned their targets to others.
"Director Sun Yi, you just said that the film is industrialized, but to be honest, there has been no such large investment in science fiction movies in China before, successful examples, and even small investment science fiction movies have very few successes, so that China has been rated as a desert of science fiction films, I want to ask, with an investment of 400 million yuan, even the box office of "Titanic", which ranks first in the Chinese film market, is only 950 million, even if this number, you are likely to lose money, are you not afraid of failure?"
When Sun Yi heard this question, he smiled and replied: "The probability of failure is indeed very high, but someone has to do it, if you don't take the first step, you will never succeed, there was a very important person in my life who encouraged me before." ”
"That's what she said, as long as I don't admit defeat, then there is no such thing as failure, and I believe that we will create a miracle."
After speaking, he pretended to glance at Liu Yifei beside him inadvertently.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei pursed her lips and looked like a very useful little daughter.
It's okay now, there are so many reporters in the audience, how can you not see it.
Take a picture at one meal.
While shooting, I still complained in my heart.
"Here we go again, they start to openly sprinkle dog food again, and no one cares!"
"If there is a very important person in life, you just say that it is her, no."
"Heh, what kind of suspense about the actor, I bet that if the actor wasn't Sun Yi, I would have eaten the camera."
"Han Dong, when will this movie be released?"
Han Sanping: "Well, since this is the first attempt at the shooting of an industrialized science fiction movie in China, the preparation time for the film will be relatively long, and it is expected to meet the majority of fans at the end of the year or early next year." ”
At this time, Sun Yi took the microphone and said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile:
"The filming of this kind of hard-core sci-fi movie needs all aspects, including funds, technology, and professional talents, which need us to improve little by little, and the preliminary preparation for the film, in fact, we began to secretly carry out it as early as the end of last year."
"Well, frankly speaking, the gap between us and Hollywood is indeed not a star and a half, and we have too many lessons to make up, so we are not fully prepared until now, if it weren't for the fact that you reporters are really powerful, mixed with my and Han Dong's investigation team, and broke this matter, this project would not have been announced now."
"You know, my habit has always been to start large-scale publicity after the film is completed."
Hearing Sun Yi say this, especially when it comes to the vast supernatural powers, the reporters in the audience laughed wryly, but they didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but they were thinking.
What the hell, the one who got in, why not me!!
"Director Sun, I'm a sci-fi fan myself, and I'm very grateful to you for making such a movie, I'm looking forward to it, but what kind of mecha is in this one, is it similar to Transformers or Gundam?"
Sun Yi smiled and nodded, raised his finger and pointed behind him.
"Look at the big screen. Uh, there's no big screen, look at the poster. ”
Sun Yi forgot that the movie has not been filmed at all now, how can there be any video, only the poster made according to his storyboard.
The staff stepped up to the stage at the right time.
At this time, the reporters noticed that Sun Yi and the others were not a plain background board, but a red cloth used to cover the poster.
With a "brush", the red cloth was lifted.
In the storm, a huge mecha stood in the seawater, the waves were only below its waist, and pieces of metal formed his streamlined body, like a towering mechanical sculpture, and on his chest was a reactor-like device, which was running at extreme speed, exuding a powerful aura.
With two searchlights on overhead, through layers of rain curtains, projected on the sea, a fishing boat the size of a mecha's palm, the majestic body represents the pinnacle of human industrial civilization, as if to tell people that it has endless strength and courage, and is a real iron warrior.
"I'm rubbing, it's so handsome."
"Cool!"
"Can this really be filmed?"
There will be a chapter in a moment.
