Chapter 271 Wenchuan Press Conference

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
When the reporters saw the search and rescue dogs, they were talking, "Wenchuan!"》As a movie that reflects the Wenchuan earthquake and claims to restore real events, then children and search and rescue dogs are bound to be indispensable.

There is a consensus in the film and television industry that scenes with children and animals are the most difficult to shoot. Now Wu Hao has invited a search and rescue dog. It seems that he really wants to challenge the difficult situation and do a big deal.

There is a huge poster on the rostrum. The photo of the poster is a real scene after the Wenchuan earthquake that was taken aerially at that time, with the big Wenchuan on it!There is nothing else below Wenchuan except for the four words Director Wu Hao.

No actor showed his face or no person's name appeared.

There are too many big names in the movie this time, so Wu Hao simply doesn't put anyone in the poster.

Everyone sat down one by one, and Wu Hao took the lead in speaking: Welcome all reporters to attend the press conference for the Wenchuan movie. It has been almost a year since I announced that I would shoot Wenchuan after getting out of danger in Sichuan. Both the script and the props needed for the filming have received strong support from the government and the military.There are also many other people who need to be thanked, so I won’t give examples here.In short, since the project was established, Wenchuan has been preparing for more than half a year. In the early stage, it has spent 200 million yuan on set and modeling. The 200 million investment I promised at the beginning has been spent so far, but the movie has not started yet...

Wu Hao said here, and the reporter below immediately started discussing it. Before the filming started, it cost 200 million yuan?

How far has this set been achieved?

It actually cost so much money, which is comparable to the big Hollywood production.

Some reporters couldn't help but ask loudly without waiting for the questioning session: Director Wu Hao, is Wenchuan produced according to Hollywood blockbuster standards?Do you still need to invest additionally?With such a huge investment, Director Wu, are you sure that you can recover the cost when the release is released?

Some reporters also asked: Director Wu Hao, are you saying true?This kind of set is not visible to the outside world, and it will disappear after filming the movie. How can you prove that you spent 200 million?

Wu Hao pressed his hands down and said: Dear reporters, don’t worry, the process has not started yet after the editing process.Listen to me first.

The reporters knew that today's press conference would be very hurrying, leaders would appear at any time, and press conference would end at any time, so they quickly became quiet.

Wu Hao and the scene became quiet, and he continued: At the beginning, I said that there was no upper limit on the budget for this movie in Wenchuan, so I invested 200 million again, and the actors received very few pay this time, and I believe 200 million is enough.I would like to solemnly thank the actors who participated in Wenchuan. Not only did they charge a small amount of rewards, but they also turned down many announcements for the Wenchuan movie, and even some excellent scripts.

Even actors with role needs, regardless of gender, worked hard, and went through a whole month of very strict truly militarized training in the army, just to cultivate the temperament that soldiers should have and to show real rescue scenes.

What I want to say is that during military training, none of these actors were lazy or complained. All of them were unanimously recognized by instructors and grassroots officers and soldiers.

I can reveal here that all the roles of evil in the movie as soldiers have undergone military training, and you can look forward to their performance in the movie at that time.

Finally, let me explain to you that since the launch of the Wenchuan movie, our documentary team has begun to record everything, including meetings of all sizes, how to make models to be realistic, scene models, etc., and of course, there is also the entire process of one month of military training.

We have recorded it in full. Before the movie is released, the documentary will be broadcast on multiple channels such as the TV network.

Through the documentary, I want to tell the audience that this time I am very serious and that all the actors will put their full efforts into it.We strive to be the most realistic scene models. Without 50 cents special effects, we can shoot them all in real shots. Where special effects are really needed, this time we are also produced by the American Digital Kingdom Special Effects Company. I won’t introduce this company. It is very famous and has rich experience. You can learn about it yourself when you go back.

Wu Hao casually said the word 50 cents special effects. Although this was the first time the reporters heard it, they quickly understood it. They also laughed more at Wu Hao's joke.

At the same time, after hearing what Wu Hao said, even as reporters, they were a little looking forward to it, wanting to know if Wu Hao's movie can really be filmed so well.

Wu Hao continued: That’s all for the introduction of the movie. Let me answer the questions of the previous two reporters first.The first question: Investing 400 million yuan cannot be said to be the level of Hollywood blockbusters, but it can definitely meet the first-line standards of Hollywood.As for whether it will lose money, I have never thought about this question. I don’t care about this movie, I don’t need this little money now.I have said before that I just want to record what happened in Wenchuan and present it to the audience.The most important thing is to show it to the audience around the world, so that they can know how China deals with disasters and how the Chinese deal with disasters.As for the second question, I don’t need to answer it. After you have watched the documentary and the movie, you will naturally know how serious we are about this movie.OK, let’s go to the questioning session below.

At present, Hollywood has a high status in the minds of most people in China, so there is nothing wrong with everything like Hollywood looking and using Hollywood as the standard.

Everyone is like this, even in 2020, it is still the case.

Even an epidemic has not broken the psychology of some people yearning for the United States.

For example, when talking about Tesla, Chinese people lick it, and when talking about NIO, they scold industrial garbage.

Uh, it's too far...

After Wu Hao finished speaking, the reporter immediately raised his hand in the blockbuster. Wu Hao clicked a CCTV reporter. Generally, CCTV reporters rarely attend such press conferences, but "Wenchuan!"》 is different. When the project was launched, the news broadcast reported it. It is not uncommon to attend the press conference now. They even dispatched photographers.

However, many media have dispatched photographers today, but Wu Hao knows that these photographers are not entirely aimed at the movie itself, mainly those leaders.

Speaking of which, this reporter from CCTV is still an old acquaintance. It was Li Sisi who had never seen him again after parting in Chengdu. Wu Hao didn’t understand why he always came to play a guest role as a reporter if he was not a good host.

But since he is an acquaintance, Wu Hao is the first to call her.

Li Sisi came here on purpose. She wanted to ask Wu Hao for help in some private matters. This time she came here to see if there was a chance, but now is obviously not the time.

Although Li Sisi is the host, she is still very professional and well prepared as a reporter.

When Wu Hao clicked her, she immediately stood up and asked without hesitation: Director Wu Hao, can you tell me about the cooperation between the Wenchuan movie and the official one?Before this, there were basically no similar movies.

As a CCTV reporter, Li Sisi's problem is still very official. Wu Hao smiled and said: I was trapped in the disaster area, and this matter was in the news, and the upper-level leaders occasionally learned about it.So the leader also paid attention to the script I handed over.I myself didn't expect that what the script expressed this time was very consistent with the leader's ideas, so I also received strong support.This matter is not that complicated. Although my identity is a bit special, no matter how special my identity is, it cannot connect these relationships, right?So the main reason is that the leader himself also wants to spread this matter, and I just happened to be the right time.As for the specific cooperation content, it is official propaganda, the troops provide necessary equipment, professional personnel, and guidance on shooting.

After Wu Hao finished speaking, Li Sisi nodded and sat down. She did not communicate with Wu Hao for any time. She performed very professionally, which made Wu Hao think she was really here to be a reporter.

After hearing Wu Hao's words, the reporters were a little whispering, curious about who the leader Wu Hao was talking about, and there were speculations that it might be Jing Jun who would be present today, but Jing Jun is only the deputy minister of the Central Propaganda Department. It is difficult to mobilize the army, and it is not very similar.

However, the reporters did not inquire about this matter. Since Wu Hao did not say it, it was useless to inquire about it. It might be more sensitive.

Then Wu Hao called another reporter. The reporter stood up and asked: Director Wu, when you returned to Beijing from Sichuan, you said you wanted to film Wenchuan. After a long time, the news broadcast also broadcasted the report on this movie. After nearly half a year, there was no movement, and it was not until today that the film was officially started.Can you tell me the specific reason, and have the preparation of the Wenchuan movie for so long?Is it because you were delayed by the reason why you double-photographed the Immortal Sword Three?

Wu Hao: First of all, as mentioned earlier, this time the script was handed over to the upper level. Because the troops were needed to be dispatched to assist, the script review took a longer time.After the script was passed, the crew actually started preparing, and it had nothing to do with the Immortal Sword Three.But because I was serious about this movie, I spent a lot of time discussing the filming with the troops, and more time was spent building scenes. This time, the scene model and so on really spent a lot of time trying to be realistic.We built many scenes one to one. In terms of imitation, we created a 1:100 model to restore the entire Wenchuan County urban area before the earthquake. In order to be realistic in the simulated earthquake, this model alone took several months to verify, but it was pushed to rework.

Reporter: Director Wu Hao, when will the movie be released?I see you have not announced the release date.

Wu Hao: The specific release date has not been decided yet, but I will definitely have to wait until I attend next year's film festival. As for which filming the film festival I will attend next year, this is also the purpose of my filming of this movie, for foreigners.
