Chapter 38 Domestic sci-fi film press conference (please recommend, please collect~)

"We have officially reached a cooperation agreement with Liu Cixin on the copyright of science fiction film and television. In the future, we will work together to promote the progress of domestic science fiction films."

After reaching a film and television copyright cooperation agreement with Liu, Cai Runping, the executive of Haotian Studio, held a press conference and announced the related plans of Haotian Studio for science fiction movies.

Of course, it's just a rough idea.

For Zhang Hao, the media still has a lot of interest. After all, "Manslaughter" is still showing in theaters, so there are quite a lot of reporters here.

But when they heard that Haotian Studio was going to promote domestic sci-fi films, the reporters in the audience were in an uproar, and there were many discussions.

Although it has not yet reached the reporter's questioning session, some reporters can't help but raise their hands.

Cai Runping ignored it, and finished talking about the content of the press conference on her own, before continuing: "Next, I invite director Zhang Hao and the well-known science fiction writer Liu Cixin to come on stage together and give us a detailed introduction to the situation."

Zhang Hao and Liu Cixin took the stage together, and the reporter's flashes kept shining to take pictures of the two.

Zhang Hao was okay, but Da Liu had never experienced such a scene, and was almost blinded by the flashing light.

Zhang Hao and Liu Cixin sat down on the prepared chairs on the stage, took the microphone from Cai Runping, and greeted the media reporters.

"Hi everyone, I'm Zhang Hao."

"I'm Liu Cixin..."

Zhang Hao went on to say: "In fact, I have always been a fan of science fiction movies, and "Terminator 2" was my first teacher on the road of film director.

When I was very young, I played in Beijing Film Studio, saw "ET", "Star Wars", "Alien", "Blade Runner" and other classic sci-fi movies in film history, and I couldn't help it In fantasy, I will become an excellent science fiction film director one day.

Now, this dream will be one step closer, because I have reached a cooperation with Mr. Liu Cixin, and we will shoot our own science fiction movies. "

Finally, a reporter couldn't bear it anymore, and before the reporter asked questions, he stood up and asked: "Director Zhang, do you understand that the domestic environment is not suitable for shooting science fiction films?
Hollywood has a group of excellent directors and creators, as well as advanced systems and systems, and advanced technology, while domestic conditions do not have any conditions. "

Zhang Hao shook his head and said: "The gap you mentioned does exist objectively. This is a fact that we cannot deny. But, just because our conditions are not good enough, why don't we try and do it?"

The reporter who asked the question didn't speak, but Zhang Hao could tell from his expression that he probably felt that things like science fiction had nothing to do with the Chinese film industry.

Let's go honestly and film the history of our ancestors, isn't the costume blockbuster very popular in the past two years!
"Conditions can be created. We Chinese-speaking filmmakers are no worse than Hollywood filmmakers, and they don't have three heads and six arms. They have more heads and more legs than us." Zhang Hao glanced at the reporter who asked the question without authorization, and then said:

"Our plan is long-term, and it may take five to ten years to gradually improve the construction of the domestic science fiction film industry.

Of course, this is not what our studio can do. For this reason, we invited Mao Yu, the general manager of China Film Group, to welcome him to the stage. "

Amid the applause, Mao Yu came to the stage: "Welcome all friends from the media to come to our press conference in your busy schedule, so I will use this occasion to say a few words.

Director Zhang talked with us a lot, and also put forward a complete plan. At present, we all believe that the most important thing is to accumulate technology and cultivate talents at this stage.

To this end, China Film has adopted a training program for young directors, who will be sent to Hollywood to learn advanced techniques and concepts. "

Mao Yu's words attracted the reporter's attention. When Mao Yu, the general manager of China Film Group, said these words, the effect was much better than that of Zhang Hao.

After all, Zhang Hao is too young. Although he has made achievements, in the eyes of the public, he is not qualified to represent Chinese films.

To say that he is qualified, perhaps the national teacher is the only one in this period.

But Mao Yu is different. He is the general manager of China Film Group, the leader of the state-owned film company. He said that if there is such a plan, there will definitely be one.

But journalists who have worked in the industry for many years are still skeptical, can Chinese-language filmmakers really make science fiction movies?

It's no wonder they have such doubts. After all, there are so many clear examples before. Liu Tianwang's "Future Men" was frantically complained by the Hong Kong media.

When it came to the media questioning session, the reporters raised their hands to ask questions like crazy.

"Director Zhang, you have achieved considerable success through "Manslaughter", and the next step is to step into the field of science fiction films. Are you a bit overconfident?"

"I have already said that this is a long-term process. I did not say that my next film will be a science fiction film. Please don't take it out of context."

"Mr. Liu Cixin, isn't it a little too hasty for you to hand over your work to a young director?"

Da Liu: "No, Director Zhang is very mature, has many ideas, and is very pragmatic. He has portrayed a bright future for Chinese-language science fiction films. I believe he can do it."

"Mr. Mao, China Film supports Director Zhang's sci-fi film plan. Does this mean that China Film has changed its overall strategy?"

Mao Yu: "China Film is a responsible film company, focusing on the development of the entire Chinese film industry, of course not just a genre of science fiction films.

We have more plans in the future, please stay tuned. "

The questioning session ended quickly, and not all reporters got the chance to ask questions, but the content of this press conference was enough for the media to write some reports.

When they were about to leave, Tang Xiqian pointed to the video camera and said to the reporter: "We have recorded the entire press conference. I hope that friends from the media will report truthfully and not take the meaning out of context."

The reporters who were about to leave frowned secretly, and did not take Tang Xiqian's warning seriously.

After all, these uncrowned kings are used to lawlessness, and it is common for them to scold celebrities and entertainers.

Even more daring, there are some media that dare to directly criticize the government after receiving US dollars.

The details of the press conference were revealed later, causing heated discussions among the public.Various analyzes and bad-mouthings in the media, even the best media are basically not optimistic about the so-called domestic sci-fi film project of Haotian Studio.

Based on distrust of domestic sci-fi movies, most of the netizens on the Internet didn't take it seriously, they just ate melons and scolded them, and a few netizens sneered a little too much.

It’s just that Zhang Hao has experienced the later era of Internet violence. These cynical netizens are innocuous to Zhang Hao. The combat effectiveness of those later netizens can be as far as the solar system of these netizens in 09.

On the contrary, the plan announced by China Film Group for young directors to study in Hollywood has attracted the attention of many young directors.

What to learn is secondary. I heard that the air in Laomei is sweet and sweet. I want to feel the air of free cooking.

To put it bluntly, it is to eat and drink, travel at public expense, and maybe develop a purchasing agent business.

As for learning advanced film technology, let's not talk about whether people will teach it, even if we do, we will not be able to learn it...

This kind of argument is still the mainstream in this era, and it is also because the public intellectuals in this era have rendered the other side too beautiful, so many people have beautiful illusions.

The former Zhang Hao was also this type of person, but after experiencing a series of things later, he has already seen through it.

Someone once said that a movie is the business card of a country, and if the business card looks good, it will give people a good impression.

Hollywood is such a representative. How many Hollywood blockbusters have shaped the image of the other side, making movie fans all over the world have beautiful fantasies about the other side.

On the contrary, Chinese-language films are only circulated in China, and most of them are spread in East and Southeast Asia. Their influence is limited, and the impression is not very good.

Zhang Hao is a film director without so many great ideals and a sense of mission. His principle is: make films and then make money...
