Chapter 420 Who will kill the deer

At about nine o'clock, the finishing ceremony officially began.

Lao Mouzi was in the middle, and Liu Yufan and several deputy directors were on both sides. When several people lifted the red silk cloth covered with the huge stills of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the flash of lights flashed and warm applause also sounded.

Lao Mouzi took the lead in clapping, and turned around to look at the majestic poster, with a look of pride on his face. This film can be said to have condensed a lot of his efforts and also invested a huge amount of money. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a big bet.

While chatting, Liu Yufan was surprised that the film could be completed so quickly. But Lao Touzi proudly told him how mobilized the film when it was produced. Even if Liu Yufan didn't come here, he could imagine it. At the same time, he once again sighed that making a movie was indeed a money-burning job. He could only shoot a million dollars with a lot of effort. But looking at this movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", it was a big investment of more than 500 million yuan, and he could compete with several of his own companies. Otherwise, why the director was so awesome? But when he thought that he was also part of creating this miracle, especially when it was still a relatively important part, Liu Yufan felt very proud.

At the same time, he once again sighed about the power of the "human sea tactics" in China. Lao Touzi is a master of playinghuman sea tactics. I remember that at the 2008 Olympics, Lao Touzi created a big scene that shocked the world. Not only was it unprecedented, but he was probably a future generation. At least four years later, the squat Olympics were far worse than Lao Touzi's methods. No matter how you look at it, you will be lucky. According to Liu Yufan's estimate, this big production had to be filmed for more than a year, but he didn't expect Lao Touzi to make it out in a few months, and it seemed to save a lot of money than the original version abroad. So the key here is one word - people! There are so many people, and the power of China is almost the lowest in the world. All of this gives Lao Touzi the possibility of miracles.

Thinking of this year's New Year holiday, Lao Mouzi's film will have a box office battle with Director Feng, Liu Yufan was a little looking forward to it. Who is the winner? Liu Yufan estimated that Lao Mouzi's winning odds are bigger. After all, not to mention anything else, just a big investment of 500 million yuan is enough to be surprising. You know, this investment can almost be made in China with ten or eight movies.

Of course, Lao Touzi also said that he is not that short-sighted, and he mainly aims at overseas markets. As for the domestic performance, Lao Touzi didn't care much. When he heard his words, Liu Yufan had to admire his gaze. In his memory, in fact, the hottest box office of this film is North America and Europe. I believe that this time, Lao Touzi can be addicted to a world-class director. If he is lucky, he might win an Oscar.

The sky-high firecrackers sounded, setting off the atmosphere on the scene even more enthusiastic.

In fact, it is better to say it is a press conference than to say it is a completion ceremony. A few people unveiled the curtain and drank another glass of wine, and the ceremony was almost the same.

The next part is naturally the director’s speech.

Looking at the large crowd of black people standing below the stage, Lao Touzi felt very good.

Clearing his throat and looking at the hundreds of reporters below, Lao Tou waved with a very stylish look, then picked up the microphone.

"Thank you to all the media for attending the final ceremony of "Pirates of the Caribbean". Everyone has worked hard all the way. Although the filming time was not long, it only looked about five months. However, the investment was the most in the history of Chinese films. A total of 550 million yuan was invested. The foreign actors invited were the most in history, with about one hundred people... " Lao Too talked endlessly. He listed a lot of data to illustrate how great a "great" movie it was. In fact, Liu Yufan could also understand his "showing off" mood. If it were anyone, a film with such a big investment was made. It also took him to show off his excitement like him.

Next is the time to ask questions freely, and the scene is quite chaotic. At first, everyone said it in a mess, but no one could hear clearly. In the end, the staff took the form of naming and speaking, which restored the scene to order.

The first question asked was naturally CCTV. Looking at the female reporter standing up and the microphone with the CCTV logo printed in her hand, the other media had nothing to say. There is also a circle among media people, and there are also rules for this circle. CCTV is undoubtedly a top-notch existence in this circle, especially under the current system, the importance of CCTV is even more prominent.

The female CCTV reporter stood up, picked up the microphone and started asking.

"Hello Director Zhang, I just heard you introduce the general situation of the video. It is really exciting. I wonder if the schedule of this film has been confirmed? When will I meet the audience?"

This question is very representative. Everyone came to this final ceremony, and to a large extent, it was also aimed at this question.

Listening to the reporter's words, Lao Touzi smiled and said, "The film has been submitted for review and will probably come soon. If you are the earliest, you can meet you within two weeks."

Two weeks, under the domestic film review mechanism, this is almost an impossible extreme speed. If an ordinary director says this, he will probably be considered bragging by reporters, but Lao Touzi is different. He is not an ordinary director. For such a long time, he not only has deep connections in the film and television industry, but also has many friends in the system. It is not new to say that he can be reviewed in two weeks.

The question continued, but this time the person who stood up was a foreign journalist.

"Hello, Director Zhang, I am a reporter from the Voice of American Movies. I am very interesting about the setting of your movie. How did you think of making such a movie? As far as I know, this movie is completely Western magical, and it is a topic related to pirates. Such a movie should be more suitable for filming in foreign countries?" An American journalist in his forties stood up and asked.

"Haha, this journalist friend, I want to tell you that good movies do not distinguish between national boundaries. Regarding this movie, I am confident that Chinese audiences will fall in love with him. Of course, foreign movie fans are the same. We will fall in love with this movie crazily." Lao Touzi said with a smile. He also used American humor invisibly.

The reporter nodded to Lao Taozi, then sat down, but felt a little dissatisfied. Yes, a completely Westernized film was filmed by a Chinese director. Does he understand Western culture? Does his production team have any production methods that can match Hollywood? These two points are almost a hurdle that he can't overcome. So the reporter who asked the question just now thought that the director was just talking big.

Li Li was very lucky and got the third chance to ask a question. He stood up and raised a question that pointed directly at Liu Yufan.

"Hello, Director Zhang. I am Li Li, a reporter from "New Music Forces". I noticed that Mr. Liu also participated in our final ceremony today. Mr. Liu and I met him before and knew that he had a particularly famous piano piece "He is a Pirates", and the name of your movie happened to be "Pirates of the Caribbean". I would like to ask you, is there any relationship between this movie and this piano piece?" Li Li asked, then smiled and met Liu Yufan's gaze and nodded at him. The other party obviously noticed him. He smiled and showed his sign at him.

"Haha, in fact, even if you don't mention this question, I will say it later. You are right. This movie is not only related to the song "He is Pirates", but also very close. It can be said that this movie was filmed with the MV of "He is Pirates". Here I would like to reveal a piece of news to everyone, that is, the script of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", which is also from the hands of Mr. Liu, who is not only a great pianist, but also a genius screenwriter. Sometimes I even think that it would be better if he left his major behind and focused on studying the screenwriter." Lao Touzi said, and also looked at Liu Yufan. As a result, these words naturally caused laughter from the reporters in the audience. In the following questions, they also became more interested in this young screenwriter. Most of the questions in the next questions were for him.

The completion ceremony was held very successfully. That night, Lao Mouzi held a celebration banquet at the famous Jianghai International Hotel in Jianghai, and grandly invited all members of the crew, including Liu Yufan. In the TV program that night, many channels reported today's events. In particular, the movie channel almost used a special edition to report today's ceremony.

On TV, in addition to the highlight of Liu Yufan, the violin version of "He is a Pirate" played by violinist Jimmy on the spot also set off a big and small **. This violin version of "He is a Pirate" improved by Liu Yufan has been specially made into the film version of music by the professional music studio of Legend Entertainment, and it is officially used in the background of the later film. On the spot, Jimmy's passionate performance immediately opened the eyes of many reporters and crew members on the scene.

Jimmy has been living a very comfortable life during this period. At the same time, he seemed to have forgotten the purpose of coming here at the beginning, and now he is playing with the female lead in the crew again, which makes Liu Yufan feel helpless.

However, when Liu Yufan saw Jimmy, he remembered Chen Siying again. This little girl hasn't studied these two days. She only said that there were some things at home. She hadn't seen her for a while and didn't know what she was busy with.

The preliminary promotion of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has attracted the attention of many people in the circle, among which is the famous film director Feng Xiaogang.

Sitting on the sofa at home, watching the TV channel's "Film News" with a 60-inch rear projection, Director Feng was holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and he remained silent for a long time.

"A big deal of more than 500 million yuan, Lao Zhang, you really dare to do it. Do you really treat the country as Hollywood?" Feng Xiaogang looked at Lao Touzi who was talking on the screen and thought with some amusement.

Two days ago, his newly filmed New Year's film "Endless" happened to be reviewed. He originally planned to make a good start to the New Year's holiday, but now it seems that there is a strong competitor.

"A good movie can't be shot with just a lot of money. It's not certain who can kill me." Feng Xiaogang thought to himself, and drank the red wine in his glass...rt
