Da Tiantian is really lucky!

Even if "The Great Wall" is not a big production, as Shen Mengxi's first Chinese-language film, the attention itself is very high, just like "Lust and Caution" directed by Li Amine back then, which made the entire Chinese entertainment industry boil...

It is said that when "Lust and Caution" was selected, a bunch of film and television company bosses and agents tried their best...

It's a pity that Tang Wei still got the role, and then with "Lust and Caution", she was promoted to the goddess of literature and art in one fell swoop - Sidan, Shuangbing, Tang and Shu!

"The Great Wall" is more weighty.

Oscar-winning director Shen Mengxi's first Chinese-language film, and it is the first big-budget monster movie!

The industry has mixed opinions on "The Great Wall"...

Some are bullish, others are skeptical.

After all, Shen Mengxi's previous two movies, "Manchester by the Sea" and "Hunting" were both niche literary dramas, and suddenly turned around and made popcorn movies?

Li amine is so hanging, he can't play "The Incredible Hulk"...

Regardless of the industry's predictions, at least pay attention to this!

Da Tiantian, as the female number one, naturally has to follow the crew to promote...

It's just an appetizer now, and when it's officially released, more than 50 interviews will be held within a week!

"The scenes are okay, more than a hundred scenes, because I'm the heroine..."

"With the male lead, there is a bit of mutual appreciation, but there is no intimate scene, according to the original words of the screenwriter, that is, the director, to be affectionate and polite. ”

"I also read the comments on the Internet, if there is something that accuses me of acting, I will definitely correct it, because then I know where my shortcomings are. But if it's some inexplicable, false news that affects me, I won't pay attention..."

"The pressure must be high, so many good actors get together, I can't hold back!"

"Director Mengxi has a very good set of guiding actors, he especially emphasizes the eyes, he will tell me, you don't have to deliberately act in this scene, as long as you have it in your heart, your eyes will naturally have it..."

"Why did you choose me? I really don't know about that, but there were a few other actresses who went to the United States with me to train at that time..."

"Eight months of training in advance, they arranged a particularly sophisticated class schedule, stunt training from 8 to 12 o'clock in the morning, as well as prop training, such as spears, Wia, there will be line pronunciation in the afternoon, acting classes, and fitness in the evening. The aesthetic of Westerners may still be a little different from ours, when I was over 90 pounds, they said I was too thin, and the producers said I had to gain at least 20 pounds, so I started to gain weight. It's really weight gain..."

"The biggest difficulty, of course, is the language, because the version released in the United States this time is not dubbed, so we will be very strict. The movie theaters in the United States are different from those in China, they don't seem to have the habit of reading subtitles, so I have to say that they can understand it completely, and the higher requirement is to express their emotions, which is quite difficult. ”

Okay, Da Tiantian is over this paragraph, and his eyes shift to the forum unit...

......

The forum invited Luc Besson, Keanu Reeves, 21st Century Fox Co-President Paul Hahneman, Chen Kexin, Deputy Director Zhang Hongsen of the General Administration, Zhong Lifang and Shen Mengxi.

The theme is the experience of Chinese and foreign film co-production and the possibility of cooperation...

There is nothing to say about the content, they are all talking about the benefits of cooperation: learning from each other's strengths, win-win cooperation, integrating technical resources, and helping the development of China's film industry...

Shen Mengxi also played around this theme, of course, he came to the Beijing Film Festival to promote "The Great Wall", so let's start with "The Great Wall":

"The Great Wall is a big attempt, the first Chinese-led global simultaneous blockbuster!

"In order to make Chinese films go global, we have participated in various film festivals and won awards at film festivals, which has been going on for decades, and there will always be people doing it. But you know that the space for these transmissions is limited. The kind of blockbusters released in mainstream theaters that affect most of the world's young people have always been short versions of Chinese films. If film is an industrial system, this is heavy industry, and I personally think that it is a pillar industry. ”

"Back to Sino-foreign cooperation~"

"In the past few years, considering the Chinese audience and market, Sino-foreign co-productions often adopt a "layered model", in which the film is interspersed with shots of Chinese cultural elements, Chinese actors outside the main plot, and dragonflies in Chinese scenes and time and space, to achieve a connection between Chinese and Western contexts, but things backfire and often make people feel discordant. ”

"There are three elements to a full-fledged co-production, and in addition to the co-investment of both Chinese and foreign parties, Chinese cultural elements and key Chinese actors are also indispensable. ”

"However, the film is facing a global market, and we should pay special attention to global marketing, how to organically combine Chinese elements and global elements very naturally, this is not just a matter of adding a few Chinese actors, we should organically integrate Chinese elements!"

"It's very difficult to do, so we haven't developed many co-production projects in the past two years... Moreover, Chinese audiences have grown up watching realistic movies, and when the actors we are familiar with appear in non-realistic movies, how to quickly make the audience accept them, this is also a problem!"

"Sino-foreign co-production, Mengxi Company is the first to do this thing, and the suspension of project development in the past two years also has this consideration, after all, the mainland market is our base camp!"

Speaking of this, Shen Mengxi glanced at Luc Besson, and suddenly said: "Recently, this year, with the rapid rise of the Chinese film market, many veteran filmmakers want to come to China to make money... We must pay attention to this!"

"I'll give you an example from my own experience, Mr. Luc Besson, I visited him in France two years ago and wanted to work with Europa Pictures, but after a few conversations, I found out that he was full of money and asked me to pay to save Europa Pictures... I didn't say yes!"

"Europa Pictures is not the only company in France, we chose Gaumont Pictures as our partner to create "Untouchable", "Neverending", "The Strange Journey of Young Spivey"..."

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to remind you that some people cooperate with us for movies, and some people simply think that the Chinese film market is stupid and has a lot of money, I hope you will pay special attention to this!"

The scene is a little embarrassing...

After all, Luc Besson is a world-class director, and he was specially invited by the Beijing Film Festival to support the stage!

James Cameron last year, Luc Besson this year...

AND THEN WAS DISSED BY SHEN MENGXI IN PUBLIC, WHICH MADE PEOPLE UNABLE TO GET OFF THE STAGE.

is not over, Shen Mengxi then added: "Filmmakers are also people, and there is nothing wrong with making money, but if you live in the eyes of money, I think you can judge in advance that his artistic career will end here!"

"Ahem..."

Zhang Hongsen coughed, and Shen Mengxi stopped: "I'll just say so much, everyone understands it by themselves!"
