Chapter 390: Completion of the Cinema

The matrix, which has been silent for a long time, is unstoppable and does not move or whistle on weekdays. Once it is exerted, it immediately demonstrates its influence in China. Especially during this period of time, Chen Tian happened to be in China, and he can speak most of the time. The face-saving project is great. The first big thing he did when he came back was to hold a press conference for the film project for "Source Code".

Anyway, Luo Gu's shocking sound is known as creating "the first modern science fiction film in Chinese" and is a proof of science fiction. Chen Tiandu is the chief producer, Matrix Wushuang Film and Television Company, and jointly distributed by China Film and Television, with an investment budget of 30 million US dollars, which is Matrix Wushuang's first serious action.

Chen Tian is doing well in Hollywood, with box offices of hundreds of millions of dollars. There is even a movie called "The Matrix 3 Matrix Revolution" that broke the record and hit a super big box office of one billion dollars, shocking the whole world. The Chinese people were looking forward to him having a big deal in China, but now it is finally time.

Domestic media, even media from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the Three Lands, flocked to it. Liu Dehua's fans also held signs early in the morning waiting to cheer for their idols at the hotel entrance.

It was even hard to find a ticket in the in-situ. Chen Dajun, a reporter from Nandu Entertainment Weekly, rushed to the scene in a hurry. When he was packing his reporter's certificate and preparing to enter the venue, a young woman in her thirties was holding a support card of "Liu Dehua" in her hand and stopped him, "Comrade, I'll buy your ticket for 10,000 yuan, will it be better for me to enter the venue?"

Chen Dajun suddenly became jealous and felt overwhelmed. He worked hard and could save only 10,000 yuan a year. Now he could get ten thousand yuan by letting go. Is this a t-t-t-dollar? But when he thought that if he could not win the news material of the first scene today, he would definitely be fired by the boss after he went back, so he had to refuse.

When he entered the scene, the press conference had already been held.

The main creators on the stage were all sitting upright, including the big guys Han Sanpin, Liu Dehua, Li Jiaxin, Fan Binbin, Ni Dahong, and the foreign crosstalk actor Dashan of Canada. There were also Chen Kun, who was recalled from the United States, and the director Gao Shuqun, who became popular with "Conquer".

Chen Tiandu was holding a microphone and answering reporters' questions: "I like science fiction films. Everyone knows that one of my most proud works is science fiction. Science fiction films have always occupied the most important proportion of box office in the world, and both the United States, Europe and Japan have made great progress. Our country has a long cultural history. It carries too many things to express, but there is only a lack of the stage for science fiction films. This is not a healthy environment. So we are preparing to shoot this science fiction film, and we are inspiring to shoot it well and make it exciting, leaving our own imprint in the blanks of Chinese classic science fiction works."

He was wearing a casual dress today, with a flax-colored T-shirt, which was somewhat religiously similar to the style. He was casual and loose pants. There was a pair of thousands of layers under his feet. I didn't know that, I thought he was an old man and an old lady who played Tai Chi in the park. Especially his hair, it was so bright that it caused countless cameras to rattle.

When filming "Pirates of the Caribbean", he needed to grow long hair. He had not cut his hair until nearly a year after filming the movie. So his hair is a bit long now. When he was thinking about how to organize it this morning, Lin Zhiling's skillful hands helped, tied Chen Tian with a Taoist bun and a bag on his head.

In order to match his hairstyle, Fan Binbin also made efforts to help him find a casual outfit, so he has the current look.

Although it looks weird, it is completely different from the current fashion. But it is not a problem to match his temperament, but it further highlights the temperament of a tycoon artist.

——There is also a reverse effect. If he put a hairpin on his head, some people would think that he was indifferent to fame and fortune and wanted to become a monk.

A CCTV reporter raised his hand and asked, "We saw that the promotional slogans that the matrix has put on for this movie are the first science fiction film, but China has actually had science fiction movies for a long time. For example, "The Thirteen Tombs Reservoir Imagination" shows science fiction scenes such as moon travel. "The Artificial Little Sun" is a satellite solar power station, and many Hong Kong movies include "The Black Man", "The Monster City", "The Frozen Man" and so on."

Chen Tian smiled and said, "It seems that you have prepared very well. Please note that our slogan is the first modern science fiction film. The definition of the word "science fiction" can be found in the world at least a thousand explanations. In Hollywood's view, those Chinese light skills like those in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can actually be summarized into the ranks of science fiction. My science fiction film is pure conceptual science fiction. It does not conflict."

"We noticed that the name of the movie is "Source Code", which is of course related to computers. Several consecutive movies involve the emerging theme of the Internet. How did you think of it? Also, is this also a movie with an online science fiction concept like "The Matrix"? It has become China's "The Matrix"?"

Everyone was very interested in this question, including the actors, and they were looking forward to it.

They all know that the movie series on which Chen Tian relies for real fame is the super hit "The Matrix".

"You have asked several questions." Chen Tian smiled and thought for a while: "If you insist on getting in touch with each other, both of them seem to have some relationship. They are related to computers and the Internet. As for why I am passionate about this subject, it is actually very simple. Computers and Internet have just emerged in China, but the number of netizens is increasing in multiples every year. This situation is the same in the whole world. Europe and the United States are now inseparable from the Internet. We can predict that the Internet will definitely become a necessity for people's lives in the future. In this case, the most correct choice for me to develop online movies. But "The Matrix" has ended, and "Source Code" is a new life. It is a brand new movie."

"Why don't you direct this movie yourself?"

Hearing this question, Gao Shuqun, who had always been very low-key on the stage, became a little nervous.

Chen Tiandu said: "I really want to direct it myself, but my energy is limited. My schedule has been scheduled for several years, and there are always some things to choose from. Director Gao Shuqun is also a famous young director in China. We have talked a lot before and reached a high degree of consensus on movies. I believe that under his directing, "Source Code" will surely shine."

Gao Shuqun also said modestly, "To be honest, it is a lucky thing to be able to shoot Mr. Chen's notebook. The notebook is so good, but I am under even greater pressure. After all, I am a newcomer in the film industry, and it is Mr. Chen who gave me confidence. I chat with everyone every day, eat and live in the company. Now I am full of my heart and soul in the movies, and I hope I will not let down the expectations of the majority of movie fans."

Liu Dehua also smoothed out the situation. After all, he is a director and will work closely together in the future. "Director Gao's ability is undoubtedly and he is very humble. I believe this will be a good cooperation."

Li Jiaxin also said: "The director is really great, and he will grasp every detail well. He also came to ask us what habits we have, talk about the roles with us, and discuss them in depth."

Gao Shuqun was very relieved and thought that his efforts were not in vain.

The press conference was quite lively, even though Chen Tian attracted most of the firepower. The reporters would not neglect other actors because the lineup was very beautiful.

Liu Dehua, who just became popular in North America with "Infernal Affairs", is naturally the top priority. Nowadays, when the media from the three regions of Taiwan and Taiwan are called "Infernal Affairs", they have begun to consciously distinguish the Chinese version from the American version. After all, as the movies become more and more famous, many filmmakers have begun to study why it can sell specials in Europe and the United States, and more and more people are studying this series of movies.

As long as you are not mentally ill, you can basically see that the essential differences between the two versions are actually quite big.

"Infernal Affairs" is more suitable for Chinese-speaking regions, Southeast Asia, with restrained emotions, restrained performances, and unrestrained hearts. "Infernal Affairs" is suitable for the same actors as those in Europe and the United States, but the performance style is completely different. Even swearing, it makes the audience in the East dislike it.

A simple truth is that if the character you want to show in Chinese movies is very powerful, he will scare you to death with his eyes first. If you don’t speak, I’m very awesome. And the performance styles in Europe and the United States require you to know that I’m very powerful at first glance. You often come from muscle mass. This is caused by the differences in Eastern and Western cultures.

It can be said that "The Storm and Clouds" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have similar cores and belong to the Western core, so they can sell well in the US market.

Chen Tiandu also created a movie, the first of two completely "distant" versions of the movie.

Of course, if anyone can shoot such an achievement and sell it well in both the East and the West, that is also his ability.

Liu Dehua took over the firepower after Chen Tiandu. "First of all, it was not the first time we collaborated with Tiandu. The last time we collaborated very happily. And this script is really great, and it makes people see that he can make large productions with a production cost of over 100 million US dollars, or shoot characteristic low-cost movies. Of course, the production cost of this movie is close to 30 million US dollars, and it is actually a complete production in Chinese movies. I hope this movie can continue the glory of Chinese movies."

The cost of 30 million US dollars is the same as Zhang Yimou's "Hero".

If you rely solely on the Chinese market, you will definitely not be able to make money back. In the end, it depends on the overseas market. Compared to Zhang Yimou's opinion that there are few precedents of success overseas, Chen Tiandu has successfully entered Hollywood and gained a foothold, which is obviously more reliable.

In addition to Liu Dehua, other actors also have topics. Li Jiaxin and Fan Binbin are all beautiful women, and they don’t have to be extravagant in competing on the same stage. Li Jiaxin: "This is Mr. Chen Tiandu's movie, and I feel honored to be able to star in it."

There is also the crosstalk actor Dashan, who is the only foreigner, is also particularly eye-catching. "I play a frustrated talk show actor and will show a very exciting and funny talk show in the movie." In fact, after studying in China, he has already taken root in China, and has married a Chinese wife and gave birth to a child. He is often on CCTV and is also a familiar face, and Chinese audiences are not too unfamiliar with him.

Chen Kun: "I am a villain, but the shape of this movie is very ordinary. You must first find me on the big screen." (To be continued.)
