Bright Era of China Entertainment
Chapter 604 "The Army is Coming to the City" Press Conference
It was freezing cold in the capital at several degrees below zero, but the next morning it was sunny for the rare occasion.
It may be cold, but a sunny day always puts people in a good mood.
At the entrance of the hotel, various vehicles arrived one after another.
Media reporters from across the Taiwan Strait and three places, as well as invited industry guests, all came for the film press conference jointly held by Bright Times, Yinghuang Entertainment and China Film Group.
Of these three companies, one is an emerging enterprise in mainland China but has extremely strong capital strength, and the other is an established giant in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong. Not to mention the last one, all companies in the entertainment industry are younger brothers before it.
A movie press conference held by such a powerful combination, the invited media and guests would not even think about it, it would definitely make a big splash.
As early as the first half of the year, when Bright Times announced the company's annual plan, the movies that attracted the most market attention were the movies of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and they were science fiction movies.
Everyone guessed that it was "Hope", after all, the micro-movie of "Hope" was the first to create momentum.
From the summer vacation of 2006 to now, the "Hope" micro-movie has been assisted by CCTV's "Six Princesses", spontaneous discussions by netizens, the popularity of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and continuous marketing-related topics from the official website of Bright Times.
After a year and a half of fermentation, its popularity is not bad, and it can be regarded as an IP that people look forward to.
Under such circumstances, taking advantage of the situation to shoot a complete film is also a normal development trend for film and television companies.
The subject of science fiction, according to incomplete statistics...
Since the development of the domestic film industry, there has only been one local science fiction film released, and it was only pseudo-science fiction with some science fiction elements.
But there are nearly a thousand science fiction movies released in Hollywood.
Not to mention anything else, a comparison of this data is really jaw-dropping and puts filmmakers in the industry to shame.
As for the Brilliant Era's plan to engage in science fiction, let's not talk about whether it can be done or not. The effect of this gimmick is already full. It not only attracts the market's attention, but also makes industry insiders wait for the next move of the Brilliant Era.
However, when they got the invitation, everyone was a little confused.
"Do you know what the situation is? What kind of movie is "At the Gate" and not "Hope"?"
"I don't know either. It is produced by China Film Group and co-produced by Brilliant Times and Yinghuang Entertainment. The joint venture film produced by these three companies must be promising."
"Nonsense, needless to say, it is directed by Tang Jili, produced by Han Sanping, and starred by Chenglong, Chu Xuan, and Liu Yifei. This is already very promising."
"Stop talking, sign in and enter. The situation will become clear later."
The information in the invitation letter broke everyone's guesses.
The original "Hope" became "The Enemy".
It was originally starring Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, the best-matching couple actors, but now there is another super big name taking the lead.
It was originally supposed to be a Brilliant Times family, but the addition of two giants, Yinghuang and Huaying, undoubtedly maximized the film production capabilities.
Compared with their original expectations, the current situation made them more interested.
Whether it is the alliance between the three giant companies or the alliance with the super-popular starring actors, this "Attack on the Wall" does not look simple.
It’s unclear whether today’s press conference will shock the industry and market, but at least it will be a grand event in the film industry.
With this idea in mind, the media and guests signed in with pens at the door one by one, and then walked into the decorated conference hall.
The hall was noisy, with hundreds of people communicating everywhere.
There are posters on the surrounding walls and roll-up banners on the empty spaces on the ground. In addition to sponsor advertisements, they are all promotional images for the movie.
The media and guests who just came in were instantly attracted by the movie's promotional images.
These pictures are obviously synthesized using computer special effects technology, and the images that come into view are very clear, indicating that the picture quality is very high.
Although there is a gap with Haolaiwu, it seems to be unique in China.
"It should have been made by the production team of "Hope" in the Brilliant Era. There are traces of "Hope" in some places in this special effect." Some professionals saw something.
Most people don't understand this and just nod their heads and focus on the images on the screen.
In this picture, there is a starry sky with the earth as the focus. There is an unknown spacecraft in the corner, and a strong beam of light bursts out from the earth. The beam is concentrated at the center of the earth, creating waves of light and fire. The earth is being destroyed. .
The picture is very textured, which is a bit shocking to watch.
There are not many elements revealed, but they are enough to make people speculate a lot.
"Interstellar civilization?"
"This is aliens destroying the earth."
"So, "At the Gate" is about humans resisting aliens? Is it about rebuilding the earth after its destruction? Or is it about surviving to the limit of alien destruction?"
Based on their understanding of Hollywood science fiction movies, many people expressed their conjectures based on the logical relationship given in the picture.
But he couldn't be sure, so he moved on to the next promotional poster.
The picture in front of her was a two-way video, with Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei running anxiously at the top, and Chenglong looking up and praying at the bottom.
This two-way scene is very gimmick. The urgency of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and the desire and prayer of Chenglong. Although they don’t know what is happening, they immediately make people immerse themselves in the scene and feel the tension of the emergency.
But one thing is strange. The background of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei is a modern city. All kinds of high-rise buildings can be seen, and the two of them are also wearing modern clothes.
However, Chenglong's clothes were rather ancient, and the background looked a bit like ruins. From the less obvious ruins, one could tell that the area he was in looked a bit ancient.
A modern setting, an ancient setting?
This...is a bit interesting.
Although I don’t understand what the plot setting is, this scene seems to have nothing to do with the scene where the earth was destroyed just now.
But this unknown aroused the interest of the media and guests who came and went, and also aroused their curiosity for the details of "At the Battle of the City".
Moving forward, I saw another poster.
This poster makes people even more surprised. The background of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei is no longer modern, but the same ancient background as Chenglong. Moreover, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei’s costumes are also ancient like Chenglong, and Liu Yifei’s back He also carried a very gorgeous ancient bow and arrow.
Alien civilization destroys the earth, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are incompatible with Chenglong in the background era, and then Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Chenglong fight side by side in the same background era...
Visitors frantically tried to figure out the logical connections, but after thinking for a long time, they couldn't think of a reason. In the end, they could only find one of the biggest highlights to comment on.
"Liu Yifei looks so beautiful with her hair disheveled and wearing a sack. No one else can." Someone said.
The listeners laughed: "After all, she is a fairy sister. She is recognized by the audience for her title. Naturally, her good looks cannot be compromised."
Everyone wanted to move forward and continue watching, but they heard the host's voice prompting them to take their seats.
The noise in the hall gradually quieted down, and the media and guests went to their respective areas to take their seats.
Many people waited for a long time before they discovered that celebrities such as Chenglong, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei had already been seated in the front area.
The first ones to take the stage were not celebrities, but Wang Jinhua, Yang Shoucheng and Han Sanping.
One is the chairman of Bright Times, the other is the chairman of Yinghuang Entertainment, and the other is the chairman of China Film Group.
This made the people present feel that this press conference was very formal. There was no red carpet entry for the crew and celebrities. The first speakers were representatives of the three giant companies.
This was different from the usual movie conferences, with a more serious and serious sense of ceremony.
"Are there any science fiction movies in China?"
"How big is the gap between China's science fiction movies and the world's standards?"
"If China's science fiction films want to catch up with world standards, will it take 30 years? 50 years? Or 100 years?"
“These are three questions China Film Group has summarized from many movie lovers through research in the past few years.”
The people present were silent. Han Sanping's speech was somewhat solemn, and it also touched the hearts of some people in the industry.
"Before answering these three questions, we must first understand what 'science fiction' is."
"Science fiction is the collective term for science and fantasy."
"Science is science and technology; fantasy is imagination."
"Understanding this, we can explain the word 'science fiction'. Science fiction is imagination based on science."
"With the development of global science fiction movies, two new interpretations have emerged."
"Science fiction movies that focus on science are called hard science fiction, and science fiction movies that focus on imagination are called soft science fiction."
Among the hundreds of people present, some of them did not fully understand the word "science fiction".
After hearing Han Sanping's narration, each of them had a clearer understanding of the interpretation of the word "science fiction".
"Whether it is hard science fiction or soft science fiction, it cannot be separated from the two core elements, which are the scientific foundation and imagination just mentioned."
"The scientific foundation is available in every country in the world. This is something that can be seen, heard and learned from."
"But what about imagination?"
"So the first question just now: Are there any science fiction movies in China?"
Just listen to Han Sanping say: "Let me ask in another way: Do Chinese directors have imagination?"
The people present were startled and glanced left and right, especially looking at the area where some directors were.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei tilted their heads slightly to the left. Sitting over there were many great directors such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Xu Ke, and Wang Jin.
When Han Sanping said these words, it was as if he was saying: What about the great director?They are all a bunch of people without imagination.
Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige looked at each other. Although they didn't show it on their faces, they felt a little embarrassed in their hearts.
Facing Han Sanping, they couldn't get angry, they just thought they were being complained about.
"The director has no imagination, where can a science fiction movie come from?" Han Sanping added.
The producers in Hollaiwood have all studied systematically and professionally, and all have rich film production experience. Therefore, the film production process in Haolaiwood is mainly based on producers, also known as Producer-centered system.
Most of the producers in China are investor representatives and have no idea how film and television dramas are produced. However, there are also a small number of producers who are professional and can take charge of the production crew.
But in most cases, film and television dramas are director-centered. Therefore, even if there are no written regulations for the compilation of Chinese film and television dramas, it can be said to be a director-centered system.
In the director-centered system, the director has the final say on how the movie will be made.
Therefore, many viewers have questions about whether China can make science fiction movies. The core of this question is not how China is doing, but whether the director can make them.
There are always discussions on the Internet about the poor industrial foundation and the fact that China cannot make science fiction movies.
But if the director's ability is not good, it will be useless no matter how great the industrial foundation is.
Han Sanping went straight to the core of the problem, and those present understood what Han Sanping meant. It was a bit of a criticism of domestic directors, but it was more of a reminder and encouragement.
Imagination represents innovation, and it also reminds directors not to rest on their laurels, but to change their thinking in line with the times.
"Derived from hard science fiction and soft science fiction, global science fiction movies have gradually formed six major categories."
"Interstellar civilization, time and space travel, robots, bioengineering, authoritarian society, and living environment."
Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi listened and nodded.
This is a classification summarized by filmmakers from all over the world, and overseas science fiction movies will naturally be labeled with corresponding labels once they are released.
The authoritarian society in it is also a dystopia, and the living environment is a disaster caused by nature or alien civilization.
"There are six major categories of overseas science fiction movies, but there are none in our country."
"This is a difference in philosophy of thinking, history and culture, and even a different perception of all aspects of social life."
"These differences limit our imagination of science fiction and world view, and also constrain our way of thinking."
"The result is that it's not that we can't imagine the world of science fiction, but that we simply don't have the thought to imagine in this direction."
"Of course we don't favor one thing over another, and overseas people can't imagine the 5000 years of brilliance of China."
Everyone smiled slightly, Han Sanping's words were quite fair.
Science fiction is indeed the weakness of Chinese culture, but the highlight of Chinese culture is also the weakness of overseas countries.
There is no need to take this seriously. After all, it is the result of cultural differences, but if we can make up for it, that would be the best thing.
“In general, compared to the cultural literacy overseas, our scientific literacy is weak.”
"The entire industry chain, from screenwriters to props, from equipment to lenses, from makeup to performance, from editing to special effects, does not have the corresponding professional conditions to create science fiction movies."
"So I will answer the second question in conjunction with the third question. How far is the gap between Chinese science fiction movies and the world? When can we catch up?"
"My answer is that if the entire industry chain I just mentioned does not move in this direction, it will never be able to catch up."
"But if we go in this direction, when the overseas science fiction film market becomes saturated and begins to decline, I think it will only take 30 years."
Han Sanping was also a director before, and he was of the same generation as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.
It's just that the development routes of the two sides are different, and there are fundamental differences now.
As a director, he only looks at his own works, while Han Sanping looks at the development of the film industry across the country and around the world.
The difference in level allowed Han Sanping to have a broader vision, and his words were more bold and convincing.
Everyone here is a professional, even the media people have certain professionalism in film and television.
When everyone heard this, they seemed to have a goal to witness in their hearts. Will it take 30 years for Chinese science fiction to catch up with the world level?
Of course, Han Sanping also mentioned a premise that there must be a corresponding and complete industrial chain in the country.
Even so, listening to Han Sanping's words gave everyone a new understanding and review of the domestic entertainment industry.
"This is the situation in the industry, but the problem now is that no company is taking the lead. No matter how much we talk and understand, it is useless."
"However, a year ago, Brilliant Times had the courage to take this step. Led by Brilliant Times, with the help of China Film Group and Yinghuang Entertainment, a science fiction script "At the Gate" that may be immature but completely belongs to China came into being."
"After a year of visits at home and abroad, all aspects have the basic industrial strength to create science fiction movies."
"No one knows whether it can succeed, but if we don't go in this direction, we will never see success. We will always be led by overseas science fiction to move closer to their thinking, instead of our own thinking."
""At the Gate" will also be my country's first real science fiction. Let us wait and see whether it can lead the industry to make breakthroughs and whether it can take this first step outward."
The audience burst into roaring applause. As Han Sanping said, no matter what happens to this movie in the end, if no one will make it and no one will take this path, then it will be all nonsense.
Just like some "experts" on the Internet who say that the special effects are not good, that the script is not good, that the director is not good...
What's the point of talking so much? It's a science fiction movie. How do you know if it will work if you don't make it?
It's a pity that no one cares about domestic science fiction movies and no one dares to touch them.At this point, everyone present had some admiration for taking the lead in filming the brilliant era of science fiction.
Others only dare to think, only this company dares to do it.
Under the flashing spotlight, Wang Jinhua and Yang Shoucheng finished their speeches, took a photo with Han Sanping, and left immediately.
The process of the press conference has also reached a stage that everyone in the media is familiar with, and the crew was interviewed.
Tang Jili serves as the chief producer and executive director.
When he came to the stage and sat down alone, the media were a little impatient. They had too many questions in their minds.
"Director Tang, what is the story of "At the Battle of the City"?"
This is a common question at film and television press conferences, and it will be mentioned by reporters at every such press conference.
But for such a science fiction movie, everyone invited was full of curiosity.
Those promotional posters have no text explanation, only images.
From those pictures alone, although I can guess a few things, I can't figure out the plot at all.
"Alien civilization destroyed the earth, and the remaining humans resisted and saved themselves." Tang Jili said.
Everyone was slightly stunned, and some of them had guessed the direction of the plot.
But Tang Ji only gave an outline. I don’t know the details. I just heard him continue: "There is a theory called two-way foil in the scientific community. I wonder if you are aware of it?"
Two-way foil? ...Everyone, you look at me, and I look at you, but I don’t know what you mean.
A few people have heard of it, but most people have no idea about the new term two-way foil.
Everyone is also curious, what is the connection between the story and this two-way foil?
"This is the core of this story. It is a concept that one of the screenwriters, Mr. Liu Yi, got from an excellent science fiction writer, Mr. Liu Cixin. It is also a theory in Mr. Liu Cixin's work "The Three-Body Problem"."
"To put it simply, it means injecting strong energy into an object, and the super-strong gravity caused will break through the pressure of the object, causing the object to be swallowed up by the energy and disappear in our universe."
"But the disappearance only disappears in our universe. In fact, the swallowed object will enter a confined space, called the inside of the event horizon."
"This is like a real landscape that will turn into a two-dimensional landscape painting after being hit by a two-way foil."
"But this landscape painting will disappear in our universe and be in another space that we cannot see, which is the confined space and the horizon just mentioned."
The people present were struggling with their thoughts. The explanation in Tang Ji contained metaphors, which made it easy to understand.
This is the first time for many people to hear such a magical theory, and they feel very strange.
This made everyone even more curious. If this scientific theory is used as the scientific core of the movie, what exactly is going on?
"Based on this scientific core, the story of "At the Battle of the City" was created."
The hall was very quiet, and everyone listened with great interest.
"At the end of the Ming Dynasty, alien civilizations used weapons similar to two-way foil to attack the solar system."
The last years of the Ming Dynasty? ...Everyone was very surprised. One is ancient times and the other is science fiction. What is the connection between the two?Filming science fiction with an ancient setting?
"The earth enters the confined space and disappears into the universe. The powerful energy begins to compress the earth, which will eventually turn the earth into a two-dimensional plane. It is conceivable that the earth in the confined space will eventually be completely destroyed."
Everyone nodded. Based on the theoretical explanation just now, they understood the story in Tang Ji.
"Alien civilization is a super-technical civilization. The reason why they attack the solar system is to capture the resources in the solar system by the way. Once the resources are mined, they will destroy mankind."
"Based on the above basic logic and the theory of two-way foil, we make a hypothesis."
"Similar to the two-way foil, it is a targeted strike and is controlled by alien civilization."
"An energy attack method that gradually spreads from point to point."
"To put it simply, after I collect the resources in the capital, the two-way foil energy spreads to the capital, and the capital disappears into the universe and enters a closed space."
"Such a cycle is equivalent to the earth slowly entering the closed space. However, the closed space, that is, part of the earth inside the event horizon, still exists. Energy compression takes time, and the destruction of the earth and even the destruction of the solar system requires a process."
At this time, the staff brought a vase with flowers to the stage, and Tang Jili took it from the staff.
He took out the flowers and said, "Everyone, take a look."
He slowly put the flower into the mouth of the bottle and said: "The space in the bottle is the inside of the horizon. The resources at the root of this flower have been mined and are useless to alien civilization. Give it a similar two-way foil strike, and the root of the flower enters the inside of the horizon." .”
"Then, the resources in the stem of the flower are exhausted again, giving a similar two-way foil blow. The stem of the flower enters the inside of the event horizon. It is not until the entire flower enters the inside of the event horizon that the flower completely disappears into the universe."
Some people don't understand it, but it suddenly sounds so complicated.
Some people understood and nodded slowly to express understanding.
"In our hypothesis, the flower entering the event horizon can survive because the entire solar system, like this flower, is slowly entering the event horizon, including the sun and the moon."
"The energy squeeze inside the event horizon also takes a lot of time. After a lot of time, the three-dimensional space can be squeezed into a two-dimensional space, until the solar system becomes a flat surface and is completely finished."
"So, in the process of being squeezed, it is also in the process of being hit by a two-way foil..."
Tang Jili looked at the crowd and said: "If you observe it from the universe, the picture is that one side of all the planets in the solar system slowly becomes nothingness, but the planets on the other side still exist in the universe."
"We make another assumption. The above discussion is equivalent to that there is a solar system inside the event horizon and a solar system outside the event horizon."
Hundreds of people present were shocked. Two solar systems?
"Holy shit!" A reporter figured it out and was shocked. He ignored the rules and said excitedly: "Director Tang, that is to say, the part of the planet that was hit by the two-way foil entered the horizon, and the planet that was not hit Some of it will still remain in the universe."
"But the external civilization strikes all the planets in the entire solar system at the same time. If the two-way foil strike covers half of the solar system, it is equivalent to half of the solar system in the confined space and half of the solar system in the universe."
"These two halves of the solar system are not connected to each other, so they are equivalent to two time and space."
The whole place was in an uproar. Isn't this assumption too bold?
However, this is the charm of the movie. It is based on science and higher than science. It depends on whether you want it or not.
This reporter's logical thinking is quite strong. After hearing his explanation, everyone at the scene understood the basic setting.
So, now that the basic settings are in place, what about the plot?
This unique and unprecedented world view setting aroused everyone's highest interest in the plot of the story.
But before Tang Jili could continue, a reporter questioned: "Director Tang, if half of the entire solar system disappears, don't we consider gravity?"
Tang Jili replied: "It can be understood that before the solar system disappears completely, it is still a whole. If we insist on talking about actual science in this area, I will not come to make movies. The National Academy of Sciences needs me."
The reporter laughed along with everyone and did not make things more difficult.
No matter how awesome the hard science fiction movie is, if the future scenes shown in it are not verified by real data, it is still unknown whether it can exist. It is all an imagination based on scientific foundation.
This hypothesis in Tang Ji is already quite impressive, and it can be said that it shocked the whole audience.
This kind of scientific hypothesis is unique and unprecedented in science fiction films around the world.
"Okay, I've finished explaining the basic settings based on scientific assumptions. I believe everyone can probably understand it."
"Under this setting, it will lead to the emergence of three civilizations."
Three civilizations? ...Everyone was stunned. The information they just received was too much and a bit complicated, and they couldn't turn around for a while.
"At the end of the Ming Dynasty, we were hit by similar two-way foil weapons, and the civilization of the earth began to be divided into two."
"The part that enters the inner horizon first will develop along the historical process, and the details will not be repeated."
"The parts that do not enter the horizon will be occupied by alien civilization, and the remaining humans will run away, dodge, and fight back."
"We humans are very adaptable and have a strong ability to learn."
"Just as people who enter prison will adapt to the prison environment and learn the tricks of the prison world; when they enter a strange environment, they can also adapt to the way of survival and learn survival skills."
"Therefore, some civilizations on the earth that are slowly invaded by alien civilizations will become stronger due to the strength of alien civilizations, and will be changed by the existence of alien civilizations."
"Therefore, these three civilizations are the modern scientific and technological civilization that is developing normally and is the first to enter the horizon, the half-human and half-alien civilization that remains in the universe and has not been hit, and the super-technological alien civilization."
"The story of "At the Battle of the City" revolves around the people in these three civilizations."
The people present calmed down their thoughts and slowly understood.
"The main plot is the story of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei in modern society, and the half-human, half-alien civilization Chenglong, who work together to save the earth."
"Oh~" Some people exclaimed inadvertently, finally understanding the general outline of this movie.
If you don't look at the logic in the underlying scientific assumptions, the main line of the story is very simple.
How can people in two different spaces communicate?How to save the earth?
This is a very attractive point, and they estimate that this is also the selling point of the movie.
But Tang Ji will definitely not say it, so we can only look forward to the release of the movie.
"Director Tang, only save the earth? What about the solar system?" a reporter asked.
Tang Jili smiled and said: "Then it depends on the follow-up."
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood that this movie has a sequel and is a series of movies.
But as for whether to make a sequel, it will definitely depend on the results of the first part, and everyone knows that.
The media figured out what the story was and after asking a few more questions, Tang Jili left the stage and was replaced by Chenglong, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
"Hello everyone, my name is Chenglong, and I play the role of Chengxiong in "The Battle of the City"."
"Hello everyone, my name is Chu Xuan, and I play Wei Ran in "At the Battle of the City"."
"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Yifei, and I play Lin Yi in "At the Battle of the City"."
Chenglong, Chu Xuan, and Liu Yifei each gave a brief introduction. Under the host's roll call, the media asked questions one by one with full interest.
These three people have worked together before, and this time they work together again. It's completely different from the time they worked on "New Police Story."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are now two very popular domestic stars. In their opinion, the appeal of such a cooperation with Chenglong, an international superstar, is unimaginable.
"Chenglong, what kind of character is Cheng Xiong that you play?"
Chenglong sat on the sofa in the middle and picked up the microphone: "The leader of one of the remaining human resistance forces."
One of the resistance forces?Does that mean there are many resistance forces?
There are countless examples of human beings killing each other. Is there another battle between human nature?
There were speculations among the people present, and the media reporters took recording pens to record.
"Chu Xuan, what about the Wei Ran you play? What kind of character is he?"
Chu Xuan sat next to Chenglong, glanced at Liu Yifei who was sitting on the other side of Chenglong, and said: "I am a classmate of Lin Yi in the sports school, but our majors are slightly different. Her major is shooting and martial arts, and mine is Sanda.”
shooting?Martial arts?Sanda? ...The reporters' eyes lit up. This movie is not only science fiction, but also seems to have a lot of action scenes, otherwise the career setting will be in vain.
Except for "The Condor", Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei have very few fighting scenes.
Moreover, "The Condor" is martial arts, and "At the Gate" is science fiction, so the direction of the action design is definitely different.
It seems that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are about to make a breakthrough again, which is also worth looking forward to.
"Liu Yifei, are you and Chu Xuan playing a couple again?"
Liu Yifei picked up the microphone and shook her head: "No, there are almost no emotional scenes. Our relationship in the movie is one of being happy enemies but falling in love with each other. We fight when we meet. But there will be a little easter egg at the end of the movie."
The reporters ignored the little easter eggs and focused entirely on the phrase "fight when we meet."
It’s quite surprising that these two don’t play a couple anymore.
But the relationship between happy enemies is also quite exciting. I wonder what it will be like for the couple Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei to play such a relationship together.
"Then who's better in a fight?" the reporter asked enthusiastically.
Liu Yifei said nothing, and looked at Chu Xuan with a smile.
Chu Xuan looked at her joking look and wanted him to publicly execute him. He said helplessly: "I am a poor student."
Reporters blinked, bad student?So that means Liu Yifei is a top student?
A poor student in Sanda VS a top student in martial arts.
The little dragon girl in "The Condor", who disciplines the naughty boy Yang Guo?
Thinking like this, this picture immediately came to mind.
At the same time, they get another key element.
Although "At the Gate" has a very serious-sounding scientific hypothesis, it is not a serious science fiction film. It must have some comedy elements, and this comedy element is in Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
"Liu Yifei, can you tell me your story line?"
Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose and raised her right brow. This cute look made the reporters smile. She said, "The storyline has been told. What if you don't buy a ticket to watch it?"
The reporters were stunned and helpless.
Every time a key question comes up, she gives an answer that touches her soul. This is very Liu Yifei.
"Chenglong, can you tell us about your character's story line?"
Chenglong said meaningfully: "The story line has been told, what if you don't buy a ticket to watch it then?"
The reporters were speechless. Chenglong, you have changed. When you promoted your movie in the past, you were so eager to talk more. Why are you following Liu Yifei's bad example now?
"Chu Xuan, can you tell me..."
"No, what if you don't buy a ticket to watch it then?"
Interrupted by Chu Xuan, the reporter didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I didn't ask you this!"
Chu Xuan nodded: "Oh, I'm sorry for asking."
"Hahaha..." Everyone in the audience was amused.
Liu Yifei covered her mouth and was so happy that Brother Chenglong and Chu Xuan both came to imitate her. This was something she didn't expect.
Especially her silly boyfriend, the reporter didn't even finish asking her questions, so why are you rushing to answer them?This is so funny.
"Chu Xuan, can you tell me why your science fiction movie doesn't include "Hope"?"
When asked about "Hope" at the press conference of "At the Gate", although it is his own movie, it is somewhat against the rules, but I think this is also a question of many people.
He still gave a Q&A: "Everyone should know about the "Hope" micro-movie. It is a story composed of three time periods, so it takes time to polish the script. The disaster theme is closely related to special effects and special props. This also requires a lot of time to study and ponder.”
He finally said: "Give us some time, and I will definitely meet you in the future."
The reporters understood the situation and stopped pestering.
After asking a few more questions about the movie characters, the interview session for the three protagonists ended, and it was the turn of the rest of the actors to come on stage for interviews.
It may be cold, but a sunny day always puts people in a good mood.
At the entrance of the hotel, various vehicles arrived one after another.
Media reporters from across the Taiwan Strait and three places, as well as invited industry guests, all came for the film press conference jointly held by Bright Times, Yinghuang Entertainment and China Film Group.
Of these three companies, one is an emerging enterprise in mainland China but has extremely strong capital strength, and the other is an established giant in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong. Not to mention the last one, all companies in the entertainment industry are younger brothers before it.
A movie press conference held by such a powerful combination, the invited media and guests would not even think about it, it would definitely make a big splash.
As early as the first half of the year, when Bright Times announced the company's annual plan, the movies that attracted the most market attention were the movies of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and they were science fiction movies.
Everyone guessed that it was "Hope", after all, the micro-movie of "Hope" was the first to create momentum.
From the summer vacation of 2006 to now, the "Hope" micro-movie has been assisted by CCTV's "Six Princesses", spontaneous discussions by netizens, the popularity of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and continuous marketing-related topics from the official website of Bright Times.
After a year and a half of fermentation, its popularity is not bad, and it can be regarded as an IP that people look forward to.
Under such circumstances, taking advantage of the situation to shoot a complete film is also a normal development trend for film and television companies.
The subject of science fiction, according to incomplete statistics...
Since the development of the domestic film industry, there has only been one local science fiction film released, and it was only pseudo-science fiction with some science fiction elements.
But there are nearly a thousand science fiction movies released in Hollywood.
Not to mention anything else, a comparison of this data is really jaw-dropping and puts filmmakers in the industry to shame.
As for the Brilliant Era's plan to engage in science fiction, let's not talk about whether it can be done or not. The effect of this gimmick is already full. It not only attracts the market's attention, but also makes industry insiders wait for the next move of the Brilliant Era.
However, when they got the invitation, everyone was a little confused.
"Do you know what the situation is? What kind of movie is "At the Gate" and not "Hope"?"
"I don't know either. It is produced by China Film Group and co-produced by Brilliant Times and Yinghuang Entertainment. The joint venture film produced by these three companies must be promising."
"Nonsense, needless to say, it is directed by Tang Jili, produced by Han Sanping, and starred by Chenglong, Chu Xuan, and Liu Yifei. This is already very promising."
"Stop talking, sign in and enter. The situation will become clear later."
The information in the invitation letter broke everyone's guesses.
The original "Hope" became "The Enemy".
It was originally starring Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, the best-matching couple actors, but now there is another super big name taking the lead.
It was originally supposed to be a Brilliant Times family, but the addition of two giants, Yinghuang and Huaying, undoubtedly maximized the film production capabilities.
Compared with their original expectations, the current situation made them more interested.
Whether it is the alliance between the three giant companies or the alliance with the super-popular starring actors, this "Attack on the Wall" does not look simple.
It’s unclear whether today’s press conference will shock the industry and market, but at least it will be a grand event in the film industry.
With this idea in mind, the media and guests signed in with pens at the door one by one, and then walked into the decorated conference hall.
The hall was noisy, with hundreds of people communicating everywhere.
There are posters on the surrounding walls and roll-up banners on the empty spaces on the ground. In addition to sponsor advertisements, they are all promotional images for the movie.
The media and guests who just came in were instantly attracted by the movie's promotional images.
These pictures are obviously synthesized using computer special effects technology, and the images that come into view are very clear, indicating that the picture quality is very high.
Although there is a gap with Haolaiwu, it seems to be unique in China.
"It should have been made by the production team of "Hope" in the Brilliant Era. There are traces of "Hope" in some places in this special effect." Some professionals saw something.
Most people don't understand this and just nod their heads and focus on the images on the screen.
In this picture, there is a starry sky with the earth as the focus. There is an unknown spacecraft in the corner, and a strong beam of light bursts out from the earth. The beam is concentrated at the center of the earth, creating waves of light and fire. The earth is being destroyed. .
The picture is very textured, which is a bit shocking to watch.
There are not many elements revealed, but they are enough to make people speculate a lot.
"Interstellar civilization?"
"This is aliens destroying the earth."
"So, "At the Gate" is about humans resisting aliens? Is it about rebuilding the earth after its destruction? Or is it about surviving to the limit of alien destruction?"
Based on their understanding of Hollywood science fiction movies, many people expressed their conjectures based on the logical relationship given in the picture.
But he couldn't be sure, so he moved on to the next promotional poster.
The picture in front of her was a two-way video, with Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei running anxiously at the top, and Chenglong looking up and praying at the bottom.
This two-way scene is very gimmick. The urgency of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and the desire and prayer of Chenglong. Although they don’t know what is happening, they immediately make people immerse themselves in the scene and feel the tension of the emergency.
But one thing is strange. The background of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei is a modern city. All kinds of high-rise buildings can be seen, and the two of them are also wearing modern clothes.
However, Chenglong's clothes were rather ancient, and the background looked a bit like ruins. From the less obvious ruins, one could tell that the area he was in looked a bit ancient.
A modern setting, an ancient setting?
This...is a bit interesting.
Although I don’t understand what the plot setting is, this scene seems to have nothing to do with the scene where the earth was destroyed just now.
But this unknown aroused the interest of the media and guests who came and went, and also aroused their curiosity for the details of "At the Battle of the City".
Moving forward, I saw another poster.
This poster makes people even more surprised. The background of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei is no longer modern, but the same ancient background as Chenglong. Moreover, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei’s costumes are also ancient like Chenglong, and Liu Yifei’s back He also carried a very gorgeous ancient bow and arrow.
Alien civilization destroys the earth, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are incompatible with Chenglong in the background era, and then Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Chenglong fight side by side in the same background era...
Visitors frantically tried to figure out the logical connections, but after thinking for a long time, they couldn't think of a reason. In the end, they could only find one of the biggest highlights to comment on.
"Liu Yifei looks so beautiful with her hair disheveled and wearing a sack. No one else can." Someone said.
The listeners laughed: "After all, she is a fairy sister. She is recognized by the audience for her title. Naturally, her good looks cannot be compromised."
Everyone wanted to move forward and continue watching, but they heard the host's voice prompting them to take their seats.
The noise in the hall gradually quieted down, and the media and guests went to their respective areas to take their seats.
Many people waited for a long time before they discovered that celebrities such as Chenglong, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei had already been seated in the front area.
The first ones to take the stage were not celebrities, but Wang Jinhua, Yang Shoucheng and Han Sanping.
One is the chairman of Bright Times, the other is the chairman of Yinghuang Entertainment, and the other is the chairman of China Film Group.
This made the people present feel that this press conference was very formal. There was no red carpet entry for the crew and celebrities. The first speakers were representatives of the three giant companies.
This was different from the usual movie conferences, with a more serious and serious sense of ceremony.
"Are there any science fiction movies in China?"
"How big is the gap between China's science fiction movies and the world's standards?"
"If China's science fiction films want to catch up with world standards, will it take 30 years? 50 years? Or 100 years?"
“These are three questions China Film Group has summarized from many movie lovers through research in the past few years.”
The people present were silent. Han Sanping's speech was somewhat solemn, and it also touched the hearts of some people in the industry.
"Before answering these three questions, we must first understand what 'science fiction' is."
"Science fiction is the collective term for science and fantasy."
"Science is science and technology; fantasy is imagination."
"Understanding this, we can explain the word 'science fiction'. Science fiction is imagination based on science."
"With the development of global science fiction movies, two new interpretations have emerged."
"Science fiction movies that focus on science are called hard science fiction, and science fiction movies that focus on imagination are called soft science fiction."
Among the hundreds of people present, some of them did not fully understand the word "science fiction".
After hearing Han Sanping's narration, each of them had a clearer understanding of the interpretation of the word "science fiction".
"Whether it is hard science fiction or soft science fiction, it cannot be separated from the two core elements, which are the scientific foundation and imagination just mentioned."
"The scientific foundation is available in every country in the world. This is something that can be seen, heard and learned from."
"But what about imagination?"
"So the first question just now: Are there any science fiction movies in China?"
Just listen to Han Sanping say: "Let me ask in another way: Do Chinese directors have imagination?"
The people present were startled and glanced left and right, especially looking at the area where some directors were.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei tilted their heads slightly to the left. Sitting over there were many great directors such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Xu Ke, and Wang Jin.
When Han Sanping said these words, it was as if he was saying: What about the great director?They are all a bunch of people without imagination.
Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige looked at each other. Although they didn't show it on their faces, they felt a little embarrassed in their hearts.
Facing Han Sanping, they couldn't get angry, they just thought they were being complained about.
"The director has no imagination, where can a science fiction movie come from?" Han Sanping added.
The producers in Hollaiwood have all studied systematically and professionally, and all have rich film production experience. Therefore, the film production process in Haolaiwood is mainly based on producers, also known as Producer-centered system.
Most of the producers in China are investor representatives and have no idea how film and television dramas are produced. However, there are also a small number of producers who are professional and can take charge of the production crew.
But in most cases, film and television dramas are director-centered. Therefore, even if there are no written regulations for the compilation of Chinese film and television dramas, it can be said to be a director-centered system.
In the director-centered system, the director has the final say on how the movie will be made.
Therefore, many viewers have questions about whether China can make science fiction movies. The core of this question is not how China is doing, but whether the director can make them.
There are always discussions on the Internet about the poor industrial foundation and the fact that China cannot make science fiction movies.
But if the director's ability is not good, it will be useless no matter how great the industrial foundation is.
Han Sanping went straight to the core of the problem, and those present understood what Han Sanping meant. It was a bit of a criticism of domestic directors, but it was more of a reminder and encouragement.
Imagination represents innovation, and it also reminds directors not to rest on their laurels, but to change their thinking in line with the times.
"Derived from hard science fiction and soft science fiction, global science fiction movies have gradually formed six major categories."
"Interstellar civilization, time and space travel, robots, bioengineering, authoritarian society, and living environment."
Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi listened and nodded.
This is a classification summarized by filmmakers from all over the world, and overseas science fiction movies will naturally be labeled with corresponding labels once they are released.
The authoritarian society in it is also a dystopia, and the living environment is a disaster caused by nature or alien civilization.
"There are six major categories of overseas science fiction movies, but there are none in our country."
"This is a difference in philosophy of thinking, history and culture, and even a different perception of all aspects of social life."
"These differences limit our imagination of science fiction and world view, and also constrain our way of thinking."
"The result is that it's not that we can't imagine the world of science fiction, but that we simply don't have the thought to imagine in this direction."
"Of course we don't favor one thing over another, and overseas people can't imagine the 5000 years of brilliance of China."
Everyone smiled slightly, Han Sanping's words were quite fair.
Science fiction is indeed the weakness of Chinese culture, but the highlight of Chinese culture is also the weakness of overseas countries.
There is no need to take this seriously. After all, it is the result of cultural differences, but if we can make up for it, that would be the best thing.
“In general, compared to the cultural literacy overseas, our scientific literacy is weak.”
"The entire industry chain, from screenwriters to props, from equipment to lenses, from makeup to performance, from editing to special effects, does not have the corresponding professional conditions to create science fiction movies."
"So I will answer the second question in conjunction with the third question. How far is the gap between Chinese science fiction movies and the world? When can we catch up?"
"My answer is that if the entire industry chain I just mentioned does not move in this direction, it will never be able to catch up."
"But if we go in this direction, when the overseas science fiction film market becomes saturated and begins to decline, I think it will only take 30 years."
Han Sanping was also a director before, and he was of the same generation as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.
It's just that the development routes of the two sides are different, and there are fundamental differences now.
As a director, he only looks at his own works, while Han Sanping looks at the development of the film industry across the country and around the world.
The difference in level allowed Han Sanping to have a broader vision, and his words were more bold and convincing.
Everyone here is a professional, even the media people have certain professionalism in film and television.
When everyone heard this, they seemed to have a goal to witness in their hearts. Will it take 30 years for Chinese science fiction to catch up with the world level?
Of course, Han Sanping also mentioned a premise that there must be a corresponding and complete industrial chain in the country.
Even so, listening to Han Sanping's words gave everyone a new understanding and review of the domestic entertainment industry.
"This is the situation in the industry, but the problem now is that no company is taking the lead. No matter how much we talk and understand, it is useless."
"However, a year ago, Brilliant Times had the courage to take this step. Led by Brilliant Times, with the help of China Film Group and Yinghuang Entertainment, a science fiction script "At the Gate" that may be immature but completely belongs to China came into being."
"After a year of visits at home and abroad, all aspects have the basic industrial strength to create science fiction movies."
"No one knows whether it can succeed, but if we don't go in this direction, we will never see success. We will always be led by overseas science fiction to move closer to their thinking, instead of our own thinking."
""At the Gate" will also be my country's first real science fiction. Let us wait and see whether it can lead the industry to make breakthroughs and whether it can take this first step outward."
The audience burst into roaring applause. As Han Sanping said, no matter what happens to this movie in the end, if no one will make it and no one will take this path, then it will be all nonsense.
Just like some "experts" on the Internet who say that the special effects are not good, that the script is not good, that the director is not good...
What's the point of talking so much? It's a science fiction movie. How do you know if it will work if you don't make it?
It's a pity that no one cares about domestic science fiction movies and no one dares to touch them.At this point, everyone present had some admiration for taking the lead in filming the brilliant era of science fiction.
Others only dare to think, only this company dares to do it.
Under the flashing spotlight, Wang Jinhua and Yang Shoucheng finished their speeches, took a photo with Han Sanping, and left immediately.
The process of the press conference has also reached a stage that everyone in the media is familiar with, and the crew was interviewed.
Tang Jili serves as the chief producer and executive director.
When he came to the stage and sat down alone, the media were a little impatient. They had too many questions in their minds.
"Director Tang, what is the story of "At the Battle of the City"?"
This is a common question at film and television press conferences, and it will be mentioned by reporters at every such press conference.
But for such a science fiction movie, everyone invited was full of curiosity.
Those promotional posters have no text explanation, only images.
From those pictures alone, although I can guess a few things, I can't figure out the plot at all.
"Alien civilization destroyed the earth, and the remaining humans resisted and saved themselves." Tang Jili said.
Everyone was slightly stunned, and some of them had guessed the direction of the plot.
But Tang Ji only gave an outline. I don’t know the details. I just heard him continue: "There is a theory called two-way foil in the scientific community. I wonder if you are aware of it?"
Two-way foil? ...Everyone, you look at me, and I look at you, but I don’t know what you mean.
A few people have heard of it, but most people have no idea about the new term two-way foil.
Everyone is also curious, what is the connection between the story and this two-way foil?
"This is the core of this story. It is a concept that one of the screenwriters, Mr. Liu Yi, got from an excellent science fiction writer, Mr. Liu Cixin. It is also a theory in Mr. Liu Cixin's work "The Three-Body Problem"."
"To put it simply, it means injecting strong energy into an object, and the super-strong gravity caused will break through the pressure of the object, causing the object to be swallowed up by the energy and disappear in our universe."
"But the disappearance only disappears in our universe. In fact, the swallowed object will enter a confined space, called the inside of the event horizon."
"This is like a real landscape that will turn into a two-dimensional landscape painting after being hit by a two-way foil."
"But this landscape painting will disappear in our universe and be in another space that we cannot see, which is the confined space and the horizon just mentioned."
The people present were struggling with their thoughts. The explanation in Tang Ji contained metaphors, which made it easy to understand.
This is the first time for many people to hear such a magical theory, and they feel very strange.
This made everyone even more curious. If this scientific theory is used as the scientific core of the movie, what exactly is going on?
"Based on this scientific core, the story of "At the Battle of the City" was created."
The hall was very quiet, and everyone listened with great interest.
"At the end of the Ming Dynasty, alien civilizations used weapons similar to two-way foil to attack the solar system."
The last years of the Ming Dynasty? ...Everyone was very surprised. One is ancient times and the other is science fiction. What is the connection between the two?Filming science fiction with an ancient setting?
"The earth enters the confined space and disappears into the universe. The powerful energy begins to compress the earth, which will eventually turn the earth into a two-dimensional plane. It is conceivable that the earth in the confined space will eventually be completely destroyed."
Everyone nodded. Based on the theoretical explanation just now, they understood the story in Tang Ji.
"Alien civilization is a super-technical civilization. The reason why they attack the solar system is to capture the resources in the solar system by the way. Once the resources are mined, they will destroy mankind."
"Based on the above basic logic and the theory of two-way foil, we make a hypothesis."
"Similar to the two-way foil, it is a targeted strike and is controlled by alien civilization."
"An energy attack method that gradually spreads from point to point."
"To put it simply, after I collect the resources in the capital, the two-way foil energy spreads to the capital, and the capital disappears into the universe and enters a closed space."
"Such a cycle is equivalent to the earth slowly entering the closed space. However, the closed space, that is, part of the earth inside the event horizon, still exists. Energy compression takes time, and the destruction of the earth and even the destruction of the solar system requires a process."
At this time, the staff brought a vase with flowers to the stage, and Tang Jili took it from the staff.
He took out the flowers and said, "Everyone, take a look."
He slowly put the flower into the mouth of the bottle and said: "The space in the bottle is the inside of the horizon. The resources at the root of this flower have been mined and are useless to alien civilization. Give it a similar two-way foil strike, and the root of the flower enters the inside of the horizon." .”
"Then, the resources in the stem of the flower are exhausted again, giving a similar two-way foil blow. The stem of the flower enters the inside of the event horizon. It is not until the entire flower enters the inside of the event horizon that the flower completely disappears into the universe."
Some people don't understand it, but it suddenly sounds so complicated.
Some people understood and nodded slowly to express understanding.
"In our hypothesis, the flower entering the event horizon can survive because the entire solar system, like this flower, is slowly entering the event horizon, including the sun and the moon."
"The energy squeeze inside the event horizon also takes a lot of time. After a lot of time, the three-dimensional space can be squeezed into a two-dimensional space, until the solar system becomes a flat surface and is completely finished."
"So, in the process of being squeezed, it is also in the process of being hit by a two-way foil..."
Tang Jili looked at the crowd and said: "If you observe it from the universe, the picture is that one side of all the planets in the solar system slowly becomes nothingness, but the planets on the other side still exist in the universe."
"We make another assumption. The above discussion is equivalent to that there is a solar system inside the event horizon and a solar system outside the event horizon."
Hundreds of people present were shocked. Two solar systems?
"Holy shit!" A reporter figured it out and was shocked. He ignored the rules and said excitedly: "Director Tang, that is to say, the part of the planet that was hit by the two-way foil entered the horizon, and the planet that was not hit Some of it will still remain in the universe."
"But the external civilization strikes all the planets in the entire solar system at the same time. If the two-way foil strike covers half of the solar system, it is equivalent to half of the solar system in the confined space and half of the solar system in the universe."
"These two halves of the solar system are not connected to each other, so they are equivalent to two time and space."
The whole place was in an uproar. Isn't this assumption too bold?
However, this is the charm of the movie. It is based on science and higher than science. It depends on whether you want it or not.
This reporter's logical thinking is quite strong. After hearing his explanation, everyone at the scene understood the basic setting.
So, now that the basic settings are in place, what about the plot?
This unique and unprecedented world view setting aroused everyone's highest interest in the plot of the story.
But before Tang Jili could continue, a reporter questioned: "Director Tang, if half of the entire solar system disappears, don't we consider gravity?"
Tang Jili replied: "It can be understood that before the solar system disappears completely, it is still a whole. If we insist on talking about actual science in this area, I will not come to make movies. The National Academy of Sciences needs me."
The reporter laughed along with everyone and did not make things more difficult.
No matter how awesome the hard science fiction movie is, if the future scenes shown in it are not verified by real data, it is still unknown whether it can exist. It is all an imagination based on scientific foundation.
This hypothesis in Tang Ji is already quite impressive, and it can be said that it shocked the whole audience.
This kind of scientific hypothesis is unique and unprecedented in science fiction films around the world.
"Okay, I've finished explaining the basic settings based on scientific assumptions. I believe everyone can probably understand it."
"Under this setting, it will lead to the emergence of three civilizations."
Three civilizations? ...Everyone was stunned. The information they just received was too much and a bit complicated, and they couldn't turn around for a while.
"At the end of the Ming Dynasty, we were hit by similar two-way foil weapons, and the civilization of the earth began to be divided into two."
"The part that enters the inner horizon first will develop along the historical process, and the details will not be repeated."
"The parts that do not enter the horizon will be occupied by alien civilization, and the remaining humans will run away, dodge, and fight back."
"We humans are very adaptable and have a strong ability to learn."
"Just as people who enter prison will adapt to the prison environment and learn the tricks of the prison world; when they enter a strange environment, they can also adapt to the way of survival and learn survival skills."
"Therefore, some civilizations on the earth that are slowly invaded by alien civilizations will become stronger due to the strength of alien civilizations, and will be changed by the existence of alien civilizations."
"Therefore, these three civilizations are the modern scientific and technological civilization that is developing normally and is the first to enter the horizon, the half-human and half-alien civilization that remains in the universe and has not been hit, and the super-technological alien civilization."
"The story of "At the Battle of the City" revolves around the people in these three civilizations."
The people present calmed down their thoughts and slowly understood.
"The main plot is the story of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei in modern society, and the half-human, half-alien civilization Chenglong, who work together to save the earth."
"Oh~" Some people exclaimed inadvertently, finally understanding the general outline of this movie.
If you don't look at the logic in the underlying scientific assumptions, the main line of the story is very simple.
How can people in two different spaces communicate?How to save the earth?
This is a very attractive point, and they estimate that this is also the selling point of the movie.
But Tang Ji will definitely not say it, so we can only look forward to the release of the movie.
"Director Tang, only save the earth? What about the solar system?" a reporter asked.
Tang Jili smiled and said: "Then it depends on the follow-up."
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood that this movie has a sequel and is a series of movies.
But as for whether to make a sequel, it will definitely depend on the results of the first part, and everyone knows that.
The media figured out what the story was and after asking a few more questions, Tang Jili left the stage and was replaced by Chenglong, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
"Hello everyone, my name is Chenglong, and I play the role of Chengxiong in "The Battle of the City"."
"Hello everyone, my name is Chu Xuan, and I play Wei Ran in "At the Battle of the City"."
"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Yifei, and I play Lin Yi in "At the Battle of the City"."
Chenglong, Chu Xuan, and Liu Yifei each gave a brief introduction. Under the host's roll call, the media asked questions one by one with full interest.
These three people have worked together before, and this time they work together again. It's completely different from the time they worked on "New Police Story."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are now two very popular domestic stars. In their opinion, the appeal of such a cooperation with Chenglong, an international superstar, is unimaginable.
"Chenglong, what kind of character is Cheng Xiong that you play?"
Chenglong sat on the sofa in the middle and picked up the microphone: "The leader of one of the remaining human resistance forces."
One of the resistance forces?Does that mean there are many resistance forces?
There are countless examples of human beings killing each other. Is there another battle between human nature?
There were speculations among the people present, and the media reporters took recording pens to record.
"Chu Xuan, what about the Wei Ran you play? What kind of character is he?"
Chu Xuan sat next to Chenglong, glanced at Liu Yifei who was sitting on the other side of Chenglong, and said: "I am a classmate of Lin Yi in the sports school, but our majors are slightly different. Her major is shooting and martial arts, and mine is Sanda.”
shooting?Martial arts?Sanda? ...The reporters' eyes lit up. This movie is not only science fiction, but also seems to have a lot of action scenes, otherwise the career setting will be in vain.
Except for "The Condor", Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei have very few fighting scenes.
Moreover, "The Condor" is martial arts, and "At the Gate" is science fiction, so the direction of the action design is definitely different.
It seems that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are about to make a breakthrough again, which is also worth looking forward to.
"Liu Yifei, are you and Chu Xuan playing a couple again?"
Liu Yifei picked up the microphone and shook her head: "No, there are almost no emotional scenes. Our relationship in the movie is one of being happy enemies but falling in love with each other. We fight when we meet. But there will be a little easter egg at the end of the movie."
The reporters ignored the little easter eggs and focused entirely on the phrase "fight when we meet."
It’s quite surprising that these two don’t play a couple anymore.
But the relationship between happy enemies is also quite exciting. I wonder what it will be like for the couple Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei to play such a relationship together.
"Then who's better in a fight?" the reporter asked enthusiastically.
Liu Yifei said nothing, and looked at Chu Xuan with a smile.
Chu Xuan looked at her joking look and wanted him to publicly execute him. He said helplessly: "I am a poor student."
Reporters blinked, bad student?So that means Liu Yifei is a top student?
A poor student in Sanda VS a top student in martial arts.
The little dragon girl in "The Condor", who disciplines the naughty boy Yang Guo?
Thinking like this, this picture immediately came to mind.
At the same time, they get another key element.
Although "At the Gate" has a very serious-sounding scientific hypothesis, it is not a serious science fiction film. It must have some comedy elements, and this comedy element is in Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
"Liu Yifei, can you tell me your story line?"
Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose and raised her right brow. This cute look made the reporters smile. She said, "The storyline has been told. What if you don't buy a ticket to watch it?"
The reporters were stunned and helpless.
Every time a key question comes up, she gives an answer that touches her soul. This is very Liu Yifei.
"Chenglong, can you tell us about your character's story line?"
Chenglong said meaningfully: "The story line has been told, what if you don't buy a ticket to watch it then?"
The reporters were speechless. Chenglong, you have changed. When you promoted your movie in the past, you were so eager to talk more. Why are you following Liu Yifei's bad example now?
"Chu Xuan, can you tell me..."
"No, what if you don't buy a ticket to watch it then?"
Interrupted by Chu Xuan, the reporter didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I didn't ask you this!"
Chu Xuan nodded: "Oh, I'm sorry for asking."
"Hahaha..." Everyone in the audience was amused.
Liu Yifei covered her mouth and was so happy that Brother Chenglong and Chu Xuan both came to imitate her. This was something she didn't expect.
Especially her silly boyfriend, the reporter didn't even finish asking her questions, so why are you rushing to answer them?This is so funny.
"Chu Xuan, can you tell me why your science fiction movie doesn't include "Hope"?"
When asked about "Hope" at the press conference of "At the Gate", although it is his own movie, it is somewhat against the rules, but I think this is also a question of many people.
He still gave a Q&A: "Everyone should know about the "Hope" micro-movie. It is a story composed of three time periods, so it takes time to polish the script. The disaster theme is closely related to special effects and special props. This also requires a lot of time to study and ponder.”
He finally said: "Give us some time, and I will definitely meet you in the future."
The reporters understood the situation and stopped pestering.
After asking a few more questions about the movie characters, the interview session for the three protagonists ended, and it was the turn of the rest of the actors to come on stage for interviews.
