Chapter 900 Press Conference

After "The Martian", there was indeed a wave of science fiction boom for a short time.

The reason why it is short-lived is because within two years, investors and production companies discovered that doing science fiction is simply thankless.

Then came chick flicks and teen flicks.

Hang Chi Hang Chi why spend so much money on special effects, the money to make a sci-fi film, you can make three or four youth films.

Then domestic science fiction was abandoned again.

And judging from the market reaction, it seems that the audience's voice for domestic science fiction is not very high.

Few viewers are eagerly looking forward to it: "It would be great if there was a domestic science fiction film."

Therefore, Cheng Yu'an decided to shoot "The Wandering Earth" himself.

It's not that he doesn't want to give it to Guo Fan, but that investors trust him more.

With Cheng Yu'an's current status and "The Martian" as a foundation, the investors of "The Wandering Earth" will not trust anyone else's hand.

Other producers have said: "Director Cheng, give as much as you want, even the stars in the sky, I will pick him off, but if it is someone else, I will consider divesting."

At two o'clock in the afternoon on the 6th, the press conference of "The Wandering Earth" was held on time at the Aerospace Museum.

Director Cheng Yu'an, original author Da Liu, starring Zhao Jinmai, Li Xian, Li Guangjie, Nini, Uncle Da, Wu Jing, Mike Sui, friendly starring Liu Yifei, Gao Yuanyuan, as well as the representative of the producer and the later work represented by the special effects director Shen Yuan The personnel are full of people number 20, standing on the entire stage.

"The Wandering Earth" has been the most anticipated film by the media and audiences since the project was launched.

There is still one month before the Lunar New Year holiday. In a survey conducted by a certain platform a few days ago, "The Wandering Earth" surpassed Ning Hao's "Crazy Alien" and Zhou Xingxing's "The New King of Comedy" to reach the top audience" The most anticipated Lunar New Year file (including Spring Festival file) movie".

When the host informed the crew of this news, Cheng Yu'an bluntly thanked: "Thanks to the audience and friends for their eager anticipation."

When Cheng Yuan recalled the opportunity to make the film, he said: "In "The Martian", I focused on the protagonist himself, expressing his optimism and positivity. Later, I thought, can I zoom in on the field of vision and shoot a full-length film?" Humanity, the story of the whole earth?
"But I don't want to make another "2012", and I don't agree with the salvation plan of "2012". I want to put forward an oriental spiritual salvation plan from the perspective of us Chinese. I shared this idea with Professor Yao Having said that, within two days he asked me to watch Da Liu's "The Wandering Earth".

"I'm still a sci-fi fan, but time has passed and I've forgotten a lot of things. After reading the book, I asked Da Liu to meet, and I said, no one wants you, why don't you let me shoot this.

"Mr. Liu is very polite, and said..." Cheng Yu'an took the initiative to pass a message to Da Liu, "What were you talking about? Tell everyone yourself."

Da Liu took the microphone and said with a smile: "I said that science fiction is not easy to sell, so if you want to shoot it, you can shoot it."

This passage is not far from what the two said in Venice three years ago.

Cheng Yu'an went on to say: "What I like most is the concept of 'Wandering Earth'. This concept fits our oriental feelings of 'the homeland is hard to move', and it has a sense of science fiction. The end is coming, and most of what we think in our minds may be How to escape, how to hide, or emigrate to aliens, but who would have thought of moving the entire earth away.

"This is not an idea based on Western thinking. So this is a point that is most in line with our Chinese science fiction from the perspective of literature and basic thinking."

When it was Liu's turn to speak, the host asked questions he had received from netizens: "Some netizens asked, saying that Mr. Liu's works are notoriously difficult to adapt, what is Liu's adaptation of our crew this time?" view?"

Da Liu replied: "Movies and novels are very different. The two arts follow completely different artistic laws. Therefore, I think the main creators of movies should be directors, screenwriters, and producers. He affirmed the original works. There are big changes, the original author should understand and give them full freedom."

Da Liu was embarrassed to say that when he was writing the script, the screenwriters said his novel was "like an outline, not a complete story".

He admitted this when he participated in the writing of the script, so he boldly asked the screenwriters to change his novel.

At the press conference, he didn't forget to add: "Actually, the crew wanted to change the author's novel, and only stupid directors would shoot against the original."

What Liu said made the audience burst into laughter.

When it was the actors' turn to speak, the microphone was first handed over to Wu Jing, the fourth male lead (according to the roles, the first male is Li Xian, the second male is Uncle Da, and the third male is Li Guangjie).

No way, the entertainment industry is so realistic.

In the entire "Wandering Earth" crew, apart from the director Cheng Yu'an, Wu Jing's wrist is the biggest.

Although he is only the fourth male number, he is still the first to speak as an actor representative.

"Liu Peiqiang is not only an astronaut, but also a good father who loves his children deeply. The father's unhesitating dedication to his children, and even the emotion of consuming his own life, reminds me of my eldest son Wu's so-called premature birth. During those days when I was issued a critical illness notice and stayed in the ICU for more than ten days, I wanted to exchange my own life for the safety of my son. So when I saw this script, I felt the same way."

Talking about the reason for joining "The Wandering Earth", Wu Jing said proudly: "There are not so many reasons, Cheng Yu'an asked me to film, I have to do it?"

Wu Jing originally prepared the words that domestic sci-fi is not easy, if you don't make it, you will only lag behind others, and you have to support it yourself.

But after thinking about it, the director of this film is Cheng Yu'an!
I was a bit stealing the limelight by saying this myself, so I changed the words temporarily.

Several main actors briefly talked about their feelings one after another, and finally it was Liu Yifei's family member's turn, and she said this: "I begged for this role.

"I said, you see that director Jiang Wen and director Jia Kechang both shoot their own daughter-in-law, why don't you know how to do it.

"Guess what he said at the time. He said, their daughter-in-law wouldn't let me take pictures either."

"Hahahaha!" The audience burst out laughing.

The director is so cute.

Cheng Yu'an touched his nose in embarrassment, and laughed twice.

Liu Yifei went on to say: "In the end, all the roles were decided, and only the role of Liu Peiqiang's wife was left. He came to ask me if I wanted it, and said, this is the only one left. She has no name, no surname, no full face, and no lines.

"What can I say, I can only ask for it, otherwise I won't get anything."

After Liu Yifei finished speaking, she laughed.

Cheng Yu'an defended from the side: "Didn't I shoot "Mulan" for you later?"

At the end of the interview session, the crew released a hand-painted concept poster and a preview of "Adventure Start" on the spot.

"Thank you very much for coming to our press conference despite your busy schedule. On December 12, "The Wandering Earth" will premiere nationwide. We will see you then." The press conference announced by the host came to an end.

　Much better, code two chapters.
