The launch conference of "Changjin Lake" naturally attracted countless media.
First of all, it can be said that this is Li Yi's first time directing such a truly big scene and big-budget movie.
Secondly, the lineup of this movie can beat most domestic movies.
Thirdly, this movie is about the "Battle of Changjin Lake", which is the main theme movie. Li Yi had previously filmed "Wreaths Under the Mountain", which was another war after the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, although that movie had a good reputation The film received a good harvest at the box office, but it still left a lot of regrets for movie fans, that is, there were too few war scenes.
At the same time, in this movie, one of the much-rumored candidates for the male lead, Zhao Xuan, one of the top stars among the new generation of stars in China, who is backed by the Wanxing Group, unexpectedly failed to be selected, which also surprised many people.
The launch press conference and the launch ceremony are actually two different things.
Generally speaking, the launch conference is a media meeting before the filming of the movie. It mainly announces the movie lineup and some news to tell the outside world that the movie has started shooting.
Therefore, most of the time, the launch conference will not be held at the shooting site, but the launch ceremony is different.
The opening ceremony is more aimed at the entire crew, announcing the start of the movie.
Generally speaking, it will be held at the filming location. After the opening ceremony, the movie will actually start shooting.
Back to business.
The film launch conference of "Changjin Lake" was held at the Military Museum in Beijing.
The hall, which can accommodate nearly 2,000 people, has almost been occupied by media from all over the country.
"It seems like this is the first time for Director Li to shoot such a real big scene, a big production, right?" Before the official start of the launch conference, some reporters naturally started chatting.
"It seems true. However, it is difficult to say that "Changjin Lake" must be a real big-scene production. After all, "Wreaths Under the Mountain" is also a war movie, but in fact it focuses more on the pre-war period. After the war and the Second World War, there were very few war scenes in the middle. So, "Changjin Lake" may not necessarily feature big war scenes, right?"
"Do you think a movie with an investment of more than one billion will be like "Garland Under the Mountain" without even an enemy appearing?" a reporter retorted.
"This battle is obviously bigger than before, and have you seen that China Film Group, Bayi Film Studio, Wanxing Group, so many investors, so many companies co-produced, this is not the case in Li Yi's past movies It’s rare among them, isn’t it? It’s obviously the rhythm of a big cast.”
"It's true, but it's really an accident that Zhao Xuan lost the election."
"It's not surprising at all, right? Who is Li Yi? When he was just starting out, when filming "Mom Loves Me Once", he dared to directly replace Wu Ting, the leading artist of Hong Kong Star Entertainment in Hong Kong Island, and even more Needless to say, what achievements does Li Yi have now?"
"If you ask me, isn't this a good thing? It is difficult for domestic directors, even those famous ones, to have their films immune to the influence of capital. It turns out that when laymen guide experts, they end up being directed by others. Something to complain about.”
"Be tough! The key is, if other directors had done this, they would have been turned away by the huge number of fans, but Li Yi has the confidence."
Everyone was talking about it.
At this time, someone suddenly said: "Here we come!"
Everyone stopped their discussion and turned their attention to the main stage.
The host is still Li Yi's old acquaintance, Fang Nan, the famous host of Jingnan TV.
"Thank you all friends from the media for attending the launch conference of the large-scale war film "Changjin Lake"..."
After a routine opening, Fang Nan began to introduce the main creative lineup of "Changjin Lake".
The lineup of "Changjin Lake" is not unpowerful.
It can be said that it includes the top actors and directors in China from three generations: old, middle and young.
As for the director, Li Yi naturally doesn’t need to say more.
However, many media were surprised by the lineup of assistant directors. Yan Chunming and other veteran war film directors with obvious red symbols on their bodies made everyone more and more sure that Li Yi was really going to do something big this time.
Then there is the starring aspect.
The previous roles of Wu Wanli's parents, leaders, and great men were all played by real veteran actors that everyone is familiar with.
After that, there are Chen Wen, Zhou Guo, and Lin Yunbin, the three iron triangles of "Garland Under the Mountain".
They can be said to be the first top film actors in the country.
Then came the Mesozoic Era, Li Tongzhou, Xu Zhengrong, and Hu Yifei.
Finally, Guan Xiaoshan, and... to everyone's surprise, Zhao Xuan!
When Zhao Xuan's name was read out and Zhao Xuan walked onto the stage, the media reporters below started to stir for the first time.
"Zhao Xuan?"
"Didn't you say he lost the election?"
"Is it also difficult for Li Yi to escape the threat of capital?"
"Yes, why did Zhao Xuan show up?"
The appearance of Zhao Xuan can indeed be said to be the biggest surprise of this launch conference.
Because of the earlier casting of "Changjin Lake", the matter of the four candidates can be said to be almost known to everyone.
After Zhao Xuan lost the election, his fans rushed to comment on Guan Xiaoshan's Weibo, but now that Zhao Xuan and Guan Xiaoshan appear here together, it is hard not to be surprised.
So is Li Yi really unable to escape being threatened by capital?
Not really.
Li Yi took the initiative to send the invitation, but Zhao Xuan was not the real starring role. As for why he appeared here, it was of course for the purpose of promoting the movie.
Li Yi is not the kind of person who claims to be aloof. Although Zhao Xuan is indeed not the best candidate for Wu Wanli in Li Yi's mind, it does not mean that Zhao Xuan is not good enough.
Simply because the character really doesn't match Zhao Xuan.
But there is also a character who is more compatible with Zhao Xuan, Zhang Xiaoshan!
Yes, the role played by Zhao Xuan is the supporting actor Zhang Xiaoshan.
One is that Chen Wen really liked Zhao Xuan, so he recommended it to Li Yi. At that time, Li Yi also sent an invitation to Wan Xing, not to star, but to play a supporting role.
Originally, Li Yi thought that Wan Xing and Zhao Xuan might not accept such a "small role", but to his surprise, Zhao Xuan agreed immediately.
Li Yi was naturally happy to give the movie an extra publicity point.
One more publicity stunt.
And it was obvious that Zhao Xuan appeared at the launch conference, and the effect was pretty good.
Soon, the actors began to introduce their starring roles.
"Hello everyone, I am Lin Yunbin, playing the role of Wu Qianli, commander of the seventh company in "Changjin Lake"!"
"Hello everyone, I am Zhou Guo, playing the role of Mei Sheng, the instructor of the seventh company in "Changjin Lake"!"
"Hello everyone, I am Chen Wen. I play the role of Lei Jusheng, the platoon leader of the Seventh Battery Artillery Platoon in "Changjin Lake"..."
After the three leading actors, there are the main characters like Li Tongzhou who have more roles.
Then it was finally the turn of Zhao Xuan and Guan Xiaoshan, whom the media reporters paid the most attention to!
