Chapter 557: Press Conference
The crew of "Fragments of a Woman" rehearsed with makeup, and the most time-consuming thing was Liu Yifei's fake belly.
It takes more than four hours to install this fake belly each time, and it takes another hour to remove the fake belly, and Liu Yifei spends more than half of her daily work in the dressing room.
After another 8 days of rehearsals, the crew was ready, and then they officially issued an invitation to the media: "Zhang Yimou's new work "Fragments of Women" will start at 10 am on May 16 at Studio 3 of Chedun Film and Television City, and the venue of the press conference is the square in front of the studio. ”
The reporters moved when they heard the news, "Pieces of a Woman" was exposed at the end of last year, and now it has been half a year, and it is finally about to reveal the true face of Lushan.
"Pieces of a Woman" did a better job of secrecy than "Thirteen Hairpins" back then, and until now, the media still does not know the exact list of actors.
The night before the press conference, most of the media had already arrived at the studio, hoping to get some news in advance.
At eight o'clock in the morning of the same day, the square in front of the studio began to be arranged, and the banner of "Director Zhang Yimou's "Pieces of Women" is ready to be launched" was pulled up, and the red carpet leading to the studio was rolled out.
At 9:40, the on-site media was in place, and at 10 o'clock, the press conference started on time, and the host of the press conference was a well-known female anchor of Dragon TV.
The host took the stage to thank the media friends for coming, and then introduced the leaders who participated in the launch conference, the deputy mayor in charge of cultural tourism in Modu, the two leaders of the propaganda mouth, Ren Zhonglun, the new chairman of Shanghai Film Group, Li Xiaoping, executive vice president of Guangxian Media, a manager of China Film Group, Zhang Zhao, chairman of LeTV Pictures, etc.
"Now, let's welcome the director of our film "Pieces of Women" with the warmest applause, director Zhang Yimou."
Zhang Yimou walked to the host in a round of applause, and the host said: ""Pieces of a Woman" has attracted the attention of our audience and the media since the project was established, but until now, we don't know the main cast of the movie. ”
Zhang Yimou said: "Because this project has been prepared for a long time, the script alone has been done for almost two years. Of course, it has only been in the hands of Zhang Yimou for half a year, but the press conference must still be said to have been followed by Zhang Yimou for two years, "The process is very difficult, and we want to meet the audience after we have done our work." ”
After a brief interview with Zhang Yimou and a few questions, the host officially began to introduce the main creator: "We don't have to keep it secret today, the main actors of our "Fragments of Women" will meet with you.
"First of all, welcome, who plays Zhou Ning's cousin Zhou Qian in the film, Teacher Tan Zhuo."
Tan Zhuo stepped forward.
"Next, there is love, Teacher He Saifei who plays the midwife doctor Liu Jinxiu."
He Saifei ran over in small steps.
"The following is an introduction to the mother of the heroine Zhou Ning in the film, Teacher Lu Zhong."
Teacher Lu Zhong also stood in front of everyone.
"The next thing is the key, I believe everyone has waited too long. That is the hero and heroine of "Fragments of Women", let's welcome Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei! ”
Except for a few CEOs who knew the inside story for a long time, there was an uproar at the scene!
Sure enough, it's them!
Everything before was fake! It's all marketing!
The scene sounded the sound of a shutter brushing in unison.
Zhang Yuanjun took Liu Yifei and stood beside the director.
The crew must have known that the reporter would ask Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei about walking cakes before, so today's press conference did not arrange a question session for reporters.
The creators and the host only had a simple exchange, and Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei only introduced themselves when they appeared: "Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Yuanjun/Liu Yifei." He never said a word again.
Most of the time at the press conference was director Zhang Yimou and the talkative He Saifei chatting.
Twenty minutes later, under the leadership of the director, the creators received the boot red envelope, uncovered the red cloth of the camera, and took a group photo in front of the studio, announcing the official launch of "Pieces of a Woman"!
There were no interviews and group interviews in the follow-up, and the creators turned around and entered the studio and went to work.
It doesn't matter if you can't interview the main creator, a few CEOs of the producer are still there, it's impossible for them not to know.
But several CEOs did not respond directly to the previous cake walking, Li Xiaoping said: "We don't need to do this kind of annoying marketing, actors are indeed very difficult to choose, Liu Yifei and Zhang Yuanjun were officially signed contracts last week." Li Xiaoping is really right.
The reporter then asked Li Xiaoping about the news of "Looking for the Dragon" in the field of "Pieces of Women": "Is it true that Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei will also star in "Looking for the Dragon", which will be launched in August this year? ”
Li Xiaoping said: "Didn't the press conference a few days ago say very clearly, the leading actors have not been confirmed, and we are still choosing." ”
Zhang Zhao said: "LeEco is not responsible for the casting of "Pieces of Women", but we respect Director Zhang's choice and will cooperate with him to complete the filming work. ”
A representative of China Film declined to be interviewed.
Shangying is not even the producer of this film, Ren Zhonglun attended the press conference today, just because the crew was filming in Chedun, and he was just appointed chairman of Shangying, so he came to Zhang Yimou to show his face here, and he couldn't tell the media even if he knew the inside story of the cake marketing.
At 10 o'clock this morning, the high-profile director Zhang Yimou's new film "Pieces of Women" was launched in the Chedun Studio, and the main creative lineup of the film was officially announced, and the male and female protagonists were played by Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei. The film tells the story of ............"
The much-anticipated "Fragments of a Woman" started shooting in Shanghai this morning, and the five main actors also met with the director and the audience, and the male and female protagonists were played by Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei. The two behaved coldly on the spot, except for introducing themselves on stage, they did not say a word, or were affected by online public opinion a few days ago. After a brief press conference, the crew went to work in the studio and did not accept media interviews. ”
"Pieces of a Woman" is officially settled, and some people are happy and some are worried.
Zhang Yuanjun's coffee position and honor no longer need the blessing of the director, and the outside world does not say much about his cooperation with Zhang Yimou.
But Liu Yifei is different, she needs to cooperate with big directors to add luster to her resume.
Liu Yifei's fans are happy that the young lady participated in Zhang Yimou's works.
"Zhang Laosan can marry, he really praises his wife!"
"Looking at it now, everything is very clear, Zhang Yuanjun loves Sissi so much, in the movie he wrote, the heroine's first consideration must be her wife!"
"Some people don't know what they're souring, Jiang Wen filmed Zhou Yun, Jia Zhangke filmed Zhao Tao, Feng Xiaogang filmed Xu Fan, why don't you say that Zhang Yuanjun writes a play for Liu Yifei, which hurts the heavens and reason?"
"I married a waste husband and couldn't get good resources, so I said in turn that others rely on men, and what does it matter to you that other husbands and wives love you. Let's make two films first and gain a firm foothold in the film industry, I don't know what is so good about a TV series. ”
Fairy powder is very scary. If the statistics are correct, Liu Yifei should be the first actress in the 85 generation to play a big directing role like Zhang Yimou in addition to Nini, who was brought out by Zhang Yimou, don't forget, Liu Yifei also played the heroine of Xu Jiao, which actress in the circle has a good resume with her?
Of course it's worth it.
