China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

The film ends, the main creator comes on stage, and the next step is the interactive session.

Matt Damon: "I am very happy to cooperate with Lu. The Chinese filmmakers are also very professional, but there are still regrets in this filming. My friend Bell told me that he ate a lot of Chinese delicacies while filming in China. But because of the location issues of "Pacific Rim", as you know, it was basically set in a Beijing studio. I think my salary was higher than that of Bale, but I seemed to be at a disadvantage."

Matt Damon really understands business promotion.

His team is also really professional.

He has an accurate grasp of the prospects of the Chinese market, and has also worked hard on Matt Damon's personal market development in China.

So now, when he speaks, he grasps the emotions of the movie and the fans.

Domestic people like to hear this kind of thing the most, so Matt Damon's favorability level directly increased.

The host Sa Beining also knew how to seize the opportunity and immediately said that he could take advantage of this road show to eat all over China.

Matt Damon shrugged: "Don't fool me (Chinese). I know there are so many delicious Chinese foods, and they are different every day. I might still be in the north in ten years."

The whole audience burst out laughing after hearing this, and their pride was greatly satisfied.

Afterwards, everyone asked him a lot of questions. Matt Damon also knew how to deal with the world. After answering two or three questions, he signaled to ask other creators.

Then came Liu Qianqian: "How does it feel to star in a movie like this? Of course you are excited at first, but when you actually start shooting, it is difficult to adapt at first, because almost all scenes are performed against a green screen, and everything has to rely on imagination. , it wasn’t until the finished film came out that I realized I was driving such a big guy.”

A reporter asked: "Did you act in the action scenes yourself?"

This problem is expected.

There is also a plan for how to answer.

Liu Qianxi answered directly and confidently: "I'll perform it again."

Then everyone realized that there was a reason why Liu Qianqian was wearing sportswear now.

Soon after, the table was cleared, and Liu Qianxi performed a flying crossbar on a martial arts actor.

I saw Liu Qianqian grabbing one of her partner's arms, jumping with both feet, putting one knee on the opponent's waist, and crossing the opponent's arm with the other foot to complete the cross in the air, and then the partner rolled forward in coordination.

A handsome and sharp flying crossbar is completed.

I practiced this action many times during filming.

It would be impossible to let her fight with others, because the purpose of practicing this action is not for actual combat, but for performance in the camera.

Now that he was performing this action with ease, it immediately attracted a burst of exclamation and thunderous applause.

This is basically the same as in the movie.

And everyone was even more shocked that Liu Qianqian, a little white rabbit in reality, actually knew this kind of "martial arts".

"I made some small mistakes, I'm sorry."

After finishing the action, Liu Qianqian returned to the topic and continued to cover her teeth and return to the image of a little beauty.

The audience applauded again.

Naturally, there are no more questions.

But Lu Ping'an discovered that Liu Qianqian's ankle didn't seem to be particularly natural.

Without thinking much, the interaction continued.

The creators were then asked questions.

Among them, "Scholar" Yu Entai was asked: "Teacher Scholar, how did you get this role?"

Yu Entai directly said his famous scene line: "Knowledge is power."

Use English first, then Chinese.

There was loud applause.

After interacting all the way, we finally arrived at Lu Pingan.

First of all, a male fan asked: "Hello, Director Lu, I saw the female officer from "Source Code" at the beginning of the film, so is "Pacific Rim" a world after the timeline of "Source Code"?"

Lu Ping'an couldn't help being surprised after hearing this: "You have discovered this. It seems that you are an old movie fan! I thought this small detail would be discovered after a long time. Yes, it is indeed a derivative world of "Source Code" , "Source Code" involves the concept of parallel time and space, and we will expand this concept in the future. Let's get the details out of the way first. Today's protagonist is "Pacific Rim."

This answer obviously satisfied the male movie fan.

Other fans and the media were equally excited.

Although the concept of this movie universe is not yet popular, old movie fans have a concept.

In addition, Lu Pingan finally revealed the sequel plan of "Source Code" after five years.

This alone should get sci-fi fans excited.

Because the meaning of "Source Code" is quite special.

In the hearts of old movie fans, it is the first real commercial science fiction blockbuster in China. Every time someone on the Internet says that there are no science fiction movies in China, "Source Code" is always slapped in the face, so this movie is still popular today. It is a work that represents the appearance of domestic films.

From a commercial point of view, if there is a second part of "Source Code", its popularity may be even higher than the sequel of "Amazing Night".

Now that Lu Ping'an says this, science fiction fans are as happy as taking drugs.

Of course, someone also asked: "Hello Director Lu, first of all I want to thank you and your team for bringing us such a great movie."

Say good things first, and then ask: "I want to ask, "Pacific Rim" is actually a standard Hollywood blockbuster. Will you make our own blockbusters in the future?"

"Your question is very professional. This is indeed a standard Hollywood science fiction film. From the plot to the special effects, it is all based on Hollywood blockbusters. I admit this, because the film mainly targets the global market, mainly the North American market. , In addition, our country does not have a blockbuster model to refer to."

"In fact, from a commercial film perspective, Hollywood's commercial film structure is the most acceptable to movie fans around the world. This is why Hollywood has always been successful."

"But after all, we are not Hollywood here. We have our own splendid culture."

"So the filming of "Pacific Rim" this time is actually mostly to test the technology, run the team, accumulate experience in special effects blockbuster production, and prepare for future domestic science fiction blockbusters with pure oriental characteristics."

Someone asked: "What do you think real domestic science fiction should look like?"

Lu Pingan: "Real domestic science fiction, I think, should have different forms of expression. It must have strong oriental cultural symbols. More importantly, the focus should not be on individuals, but on a larger level. Specifically, I am currently I am also exploring, and I also hope that like-minded filmmakers will explore together."

Having said this, Lu Ping'an added: "In order to achieve this goal, this time we will disclose the relevant technologies and production logs during the production of "Pacific Rim" for the reference of domestic filmmakers, and we will work together to contribute to domestic films in the future."

Wow.

The people in the audience were slightly stunned at first, and then burst into warm applause.
