"A few days ago, all the preparatory work for "The Founding of the People's Republic" has been completed, including all actors and staff. It will officially start shooting at the China Film Digital Film Base tomorrow. It is initially expected that the entire film's shooting cycle will be about two months, respectively. The film will be shot in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing and other places. The filming is planned to be completed in early June and then transferred to post-production. It is expected to be released in theaters in mid-September this year."

"Okay, let us thank Director Han. Next, there will be a free question period for reporters. Please keep the order in the venue and raise your hands to ask questions."

The on-site host took over and opened the reporter's question session.

The reporters in the audience raised their hands one after another, and there was a forest of arms raised high in the venue.

"This journalist friend."

"Hello, Director Han, I am a reporter from China Film Report. I would like to ask, will the movie "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" be shot according to historical facts, or will it be a documentary in a sense?"

Han Sanping: "Well, no, this film is not shot completely according to 90.00% historical facts. After all, this is a movie, which requires a certain amount of artistic creation. But in terms of authenticity, we still strive to have all the character prototypes be real people, and the script and history The similarity has basically reached [-]%. It is necessary to objectively and magnificently record that magnificent history and reproduce the glorious deeds of the great ancestors."

"Okay, let me invite the next reporter."

"I am a reporter from Huaxia Film. Hello, Director Han. Regarding this film, I would like to know for the fans, what difficulties did the film go through during the preparation process?"

Han Sanping: "Oh, let's ask our director Huang Jianxin to answer this question."

Huang Jianxin: "This drama has been unconventional from the beginning. The biggest problem is that there are more than 170 characters. Even if you choose actors, you can't afford to choose one. If you choose one among three or five, then 170 times this number, you have to see 500, and none of these characters are insignificant, they are all predecessors in history. Each candidate must be selected carefully, and we have invested a lot of time and energy."

Sun Yi stood at the very edge of the stage, listening to Huang Jianxin's deception with a calm face and a heartbeat. He looked calm on the surface, but he was thinking in his heart.

Isn't it just from top to bottom according to the list? Why do you spend so much time and energy?

"Then may I ask, what criteria do you follow when selecting actors?"

Huang Jianxin: "We have a guideline for selecting actors. The best choice is to have both the body and soul. If the body and soul are not prepared, it is the worst choice. Comparing the two, choose the one who is similar in spirit."

Han Sanping: "Haha. Yes, it's not just Lao Huang and I, but also Director Kai Ge, Director Xiao Gang, and Director Sun Yi. Our entire directing team has reached a consensus, that is, we use stars based on our feeling. Whatever we think will work with him will be fine." .As for whether the actor looks like a certain character, it is not the most important thing, as long as he acts like it."

Han Sanping's straightforward words also caused a burst of laughter from the reporters in the audience. It is true that the casting of the movie is so unclear. In the Chinese film and television industry, if the director says you can do it, you will do it, unless the producer says you can do it. no.

The press conference has come to an end, but reporters are still raising their hands enthusiastically, and many of the questions they are concerned about have not been asked. The ones mentioned earlier are well-established media within the system, and the questions asked are quite satisfactory and completely inconsistent with the current situation. The thoughts of reporters.

Finally, when the host saw that the atmosphere was good and order was maintained, he began to select reporters in the back row to ask random questions.

"Hello, Director Han, I am a reporter from NetEase News. I would like to ask, will having so many stars leave the country in a movie affect the coherence of the entire story?"

Look, as soon as the reporter changed, the problem became obviously much more acute.

Han Sanping took his time, picked up the microphone, and replied openly: "No, I think as long as the rhythm of the movie is controlled well, it will not affect the coherence of the story."

"It is a good thing for the movie itself that so many stars appear in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". After all, for a long time, the box office of main theme movies has not been particularly good. With the participation of many stars, the movie can attract more audiences."

"Okay, next reporter."

"I am a reporter from the "Metropolitan Entertainment" newspaper. I would like to ask Director Sun Yi. I wonder if you have paid attention to the "Forbes China Celebrity List" released a few days ago. Your girlfriend Liu Yifei ranked third. And you are only ranked in the 30th place, which is seriously inconsistent with our predictions, and there is no specific news about "The Intouchables" that was filmed some time ago. The audience is very curious, what are you busy with?"

Sun Yi wanted to be transparent today and was not prepared to answer questions at all. Unexpectedly, a reporter still approached him. Moreover, looking at the reporters in the audience whose eyes were obviously brighter, there seemed to be quite a few people interested in him.

Sun Yi took the microphone and said, "Journalist friend, today is the launch conference of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". Shouldn't you ask me questions that have nothing to do with the movie?"

The reporters in the audience did not want to let him go. It was not easy to find him for a while, so they all shouted towards the stage.

"Director Sun, please tell me."

"Sun Yi, tell me a few words."

Seeing this, the host quickly controlled the scene and said, "Okay, okay, please don't ask questions that have nothing to do with the movie. Next, we invite the leading actors of our movie to come on stage for interviews." Hearing that the leading actors were coming, the reporter They all also shifted their attention, and the spotlights began to flash towards the stars on the stage.

Liu Yifei also followed on the stage, and she happened to be standing next to Sun Yi. As she passed by, she did not forget to wink at Sun Yi playfully. The two of them were so flirtatious, and I wonder if they were caught by the reporters in the audience. .

"Brother Hua, may I ask, which role did you choose and why did you choose to star in this movie?"

Andy Lau took the microphone and replied to the audience in an exaggerated manner: "You still want to choose? If you can act, it will be good. I will act whatever you ask me to act. As for why I acted, of course it is to celebrate the birthday of the country. This special movie , you must contribute.”

"Ziyi, please tell me, you didn't ask for any pay for this film. You got absolutely zero pay to star in this film. Is that right?"

Zhang Ziyi smiled lightly and said: "Of course, when Director Han found me, he said that the funds were limited. When I thought about such a significant movie, I simply gave up and went all out to help."

When the reporters in the audience heard this, they applauded appropriately.

At this time, Han Sanping seemed to be afraid that the other actors would be unhappy, so he picked up the microphone and added.

"This film can be seen as using an anti-commercial approach to strive for the most commercial benefits. Not only Ziyi, Guo Li, Yifei, Cheng Long, Jet Li, Li Ming and other stars who are not present today are basically all Starring with zero pay, this kind of situation can only happen in China at this time. My definition of "The Founding of a Republic" is a blockbuster with the main theme with Chinese characteristics."

"Yifei, I am a reporter from the Southern Entertainment News. I would like to ask you, how do you feel about being able to participate in this movie?"

Liu Yifei took the phone and smiled brightly.

"Of course I am very happy. It must be very meaningful to be able to celebrate the birthday of our motherland at this time."

After hearing Liu Yifei's answer, the reporter who asked questions in the audience quickly asked another question before the microphone was taken away by the staff.

"Yifei, do you know what Director Sun Yi is busy with? He doesn't want to answer. Just tell me, or ask him to answer. He will definitely listen to you."

Hearing what the reporter said, Liu Yifei raised the back of her hand and covered her mouth with laughter. Maybe it was because the atmosphere of today's press conference was very lively, or maybe she waited all morning to see Sun Yi, which relieved her longing. , she couldn't help but let herself go, glanced at Sun Yi with her beautiful eyes, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you listen to me?"

Sun Yi was stunned.

This. Is this the time to ask this! ! ! ?
"Uhahahahaha"

Not only the reporters in the audience, but also all the celebrities on the stage, even the somewhat serious Han Sanping were all smiling.

Liu Yifei is so good at doing things.

The roar of laughter finally made Liu Yifei react. She blushed and realized that her words were somewhat inappropriate. She quickly picked up the microphone and said, "Well, he usually doesn't listen to me. You should just ask him directly."

"Pfft hahaha"

It was so good now that even Sun Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Zhou Xun, who was on the side, laughed so hard that he couldn't even stand up straight.

In the end, the host had to step in to control the situation.

"Okay, thank you all for attending today. This concludes the launch conference of the movie "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". Friends from the media, please collect souvenirs at the exit."

For some media reporters within the system, the interview at today's press conference was considered a complete success, and everyone began to leave the venue one after another. However, for those in the online media, it was not very satisfactory, because Sun Yi, whom netizens are most concerned about right now, was not there. Interviewed.

As a result, these reporters blocked the entrance of the base one after another, ready to wait and see, regardless of Sun Yi or not. There were so many celebrities today, and they caught a few interviews by the way, which was considered a good job.

In the corner of the venue, a person with a "Sohu Entertainment" reporter badge on his chest looked towards the front desk, looking at Sun Yi who was exiting the venue with Liu Yifei winking. After a moment, he came out of the venue and took off his press badge. He put it in his pocket and walked into the building without anyone noticing.
