The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 245 Don't want the style of DreamWorks?
"Matrix" held a launch conference in Shanghai, and most of the media in the film and television entertainment industry were present. After all, it was a film by Chen Jingxing, the big boss of DreamWorks. The status and weight of the movie have not declined. From the media's point of view, if they don't know whether "Matrix" will be a dragon or a snake in the future, they should first look at works of the level of "Source Code".

In fact, none of Chen Jingxing's previous works had any opening press conferences, but there was a moment of that, and a moment of this.

When "Source Code" was filmed last year, the movie "Signal" had not yet been released. At that time, Chen Jingxing only had one theater movie "Fatal Identity", with a domestic box office of 4.5 million, and he was almost on the same starting line as young directors such as Chen Sicheng and Guo Fan. In fact, it's just that word of mouth and audience expectations are higher.

It can only be said that DreamWorks has risen too fast in the past year. "Signal" and "Source Code" have only received more than 30 billion domestic box office, which made Chen Jingxing jump directly.

And even though the cast of "Matrix" is mediocre - the heroine is at least well-known in "Comet" and "Yue Nv Jian" two works, the popularity is still there, and the male lead is directly a [-]-line guy.

But if "Matrix" can replicate the success of "Source Code", then the actors will take off quickly even if they were confused before, and they may reach the sky in one step. Then the interviews and reports before they became popular are naturally valuable.

Therefore, compared to another DreamWorks movie "Signal: Mirage", which just held a launch conference in Beijing two days ago, the number of media reporters and scenes in "Matrix" is obviously more. You must know that the heroine of "Mirage" is Currently, Zhao Liying is a popular actress, which shows that Chen Jingxing's appeal is indeed strong enough.

And Chen Jingxing himself regards this press conference as a promotion meeting of DreamWorks' works and development strategies. He has not been interviewed by the media for a long time. The media have a lot of questions to ask him.

"Director Chen, "Signal" has become a phenomenon-level hot topic on the Internet recently, with over 50 billion views and a new high ratings on Mango TV in three years. It has also been sought after by young people, will DreamWorks continue to make efforts in TV series and animation in the future?"

Chen Jingxing took the microphone: "DreamWorks established a TV drama business department this year, and of course will continue to work in the TV drama field. Currently, three TV drama projects have been registered and are being promoted one after another."

The reporters' eyes lit up, "Signal" is so popular, and even DreamWorks' next TV series will bring its own popularity.

"Is it the sequel to The Signal?"

"Director Chen, has "Signal" considered shooting a second season?"

Chen Jingxing rolled his eyes in his heart, the show hadn't finished yet, and he didn't know how it would end, so he started urging for a sequel?
But a sequel is really possible. The ending of "Signal" is indeed an open ending, and there is room for making a sequel, but there is no way to say death, otherwise the audience must not rush him to death?

"There is no consideration of making a sequel to "Signal" at the moment."

"Can you tell me about the themes and information of the TV drama project that DreamWorks will produce next? Will it be a star drama?"

"It's not a star drama, the scale may be bigger, and the subject matter can basically be regarded as science fiction." Chen Jingxing began to whet his appetite: "There is also a major drama of the company, and the investment will be relatively high. It may be close to [-] million. It is zombies. theme."

lost?

Zombies? !
The reporters were stunned for a moment, and finally came to their senses: "Is Director Chen talking about zombies like those in Hollywood movies?"

"That's right, it's the kind of undead that appear in some Hollywood horror movies."

This is so fresh!
Huaguo also has zombie-themed movies and TV dramas, and it is even the mainstream theme of Internet University, but it is an oriental zombie, which is very different from the kind of zombies filmed in some Hollywood horror movies, and there are translations to make them living dead.

Because there is no Resident Evil game in this plane, the theme of zombies has been elevated to the level of a pop culture symbol. Zombie themes are now mainly tied to Hollywood plasma films, lacking the addition of popular elements and the background of the apocalyptic wasteland , so in the East, especially Huaguo, which is less able to accept that kind of disgusting plasma film market, zombie-themed works are not popular, and the interested audience is also a niche circle.

A TV show about zombies?Even in Hollywood, I have never heard of a TV series with this theme. Although it sounds very unreliable, it does not fit Dreamworks' style.

The key words of Dreamworks or Chen Jingxing's image are sci-fi, creativity, brain hole, and brain-burning. Anyway, it is tall and tall, which is very in line with the taste orientation of young people who pretend to be aggressive. Therefore, Chen Jingxing's movie fans feel superior to others.

Regardless of whether it is a zombie or a zombie, Western zombies can easily be associated with disgusting and stimulating plasma tablets, and Eastern zombies are the first to think of domestic Internet universities. No matter what kind of style it is, it is not as good as Chen Jingxing's usual style. Some are big.

But it can attract attention!
Chen Jingxing is still kind to us reporters. Every time he shows up, he can bring up controversial and gimmicky topics, unlike Tian Xinye at the press conference of "Signal: Mirage" a few days ago. He knows how to make reporters pay attention to the movie itself , if it wasn't for the movie title, the heroine is Zhao Liying, and DreamWorks' face, who would be willing to interview you?

The key point is that when the reporter asked Tian Xinye about the plot connection between "The Mirage" and the movie "Signal" or the TV series "Signal", the answer was that it had nothing to do with the two "Signals".

It's not related, what kind of "Signal" popularity are you rubbing against?Will readers and viewers like this report?
Then I asked about the detailed plot of the movie "Mirage" to see if there were any gimmicks, and the answer was "No spoilers, no comment!"
The reporter who had been suffocated with Tian Xinye and "Mirage" finally found his passion with Chen Jingxing.

"Chen Jingxing announced that he will make a zombie TV series!"

"DreamWorks is transforming into a zombie movie!"

"The sequel of "Signal" may be difficult to produce, and DreamWorks will enter the web series next, shooting zombie themes!"

Under the title, there are screenshots and stills from "The Millennium Zombie King", or a picture with a pale face and dark eye sockets, wearing a Qing Dynasty official uniform and a red top.

How topical!

Doesn't matter if it's a movie fan who likes to support Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks, or someone who eats melons, or someone who has a rebellious mentality against Chen Jingxing, can you not click in and watch it?
