Chapter 46 A new director shooting a sci-fi film? He is indeed mentally ill
The car stopped downstairs of Hengdian International Trade Building.
There are already many reporters waiting here.
As soon as Han Zhou got off the car, a sharp-eyed reporter took a photo: "Han Zhou is here, Han Zhou is here!"
Some reporters didn't know Han Zhou: "Who is it?"
"The champion of Tomorrow's Superstar!"
It's only been one day and Han Zhou is already very popular.
Although Han Zhou does not have the background to use this championship for publicity.
But Yanjing TV has its own publicity.
So there has been a lot of news about Hanzhou in the past two days.
These reporters were also snapping photos.
"Just looking at his appearance, he's handsome. A fresh-faced young man? A reserve team for top stars?"
"Haha, the psychopathic route."
"???"
The reporters who didn't know about it immediately went to check Han Zhou's information, but were confused after the check.
I have been in the entertainment industry as a paparazzi for so many years, what kind of scenes have I not seen? (crossed out)
I've never seen such a scene before!
There are many celebrities who have created their own personalities, so how could someone create a mentally ill persona for himself?
Is this reasonable?
Han Zhou didn't pay any attention to the reporters, but went straight upstairs under the guidance of Tianle's people.
As soon as Han Zhou left, a car stopped and Zhou Guoqing got out.
"Hey, Zhou Guoqing? It seems that the cast of this movie is really good!"
Of course Zhou Guoqing had the demeanor of a veteran artist. He greeted the reporter and chatted with him for a few words.
Then Ye Manyi and Liu Xi got off the same car.
"Ye Manyi!"
"Here it comes, the highlight is here! I don't know how much money was invested in this movie, but they actually invited Ye Manyi. The salary must be 40 to 50 million!"
"Is this Liu Xi's first time acting in a movie?"
These reporters have countless questions to ask.
But the press conference is the time to ask questions.
Ye Manyi gave a pure and somewhat charming smile, then walked towards the hall.
Liu Xi was like a girl next door, smiling and waving cheerfully, then followed him in.
Before the main venue started, Han Zhou heard that a launch conference was held here and that the staff could have free breakfast, so he ordered a bowl of noodles, two steamed buns, and a grilled sausage without hesitation.
I also asked the chef to add two servings of tomato and egg sauce.
After finishing the meal, he burped and slowly walked to the venue.
At this time, there were many media at the venue and hundreds of people were present.
If divided by participating media, there are at least twenty or more.
Among them are some independent entertainment Weibo bloggers.
Han Zhou also received a copy of the manuscript. At nine o'clock, Han Zhou officially announced: "Welcome all media friends."
"Welcome everyone to the launch event of "This Man From Earth"."
"welcome."
After the simple ceremony, someone immediately raised his arm to ask questions.
Tianle's staff also followed the process and arranged it: "First, it's time for questions. It's a warm-up. You can ask Director Han Zhou questions that are not related to the film press conference, but there are only three."
After saying that, he pointed to someone.
The man stood up and began to ask, "We all know that Director Han, you just participated in "Tomorrow's Superstar" and defeated An Lan to win the championship. At the same time, you announced that you would shift your work focus to film and television and quit the music industry. Although there are reports that this withdrawal is only a semi-withdrawal and not a complete rejection, I am very curious. Singing is so easy to make money, doesn't Director Han want to make money?"
Han Zhou smiled and said, "Singing doesn't make money. Every night when I go out to eat, there are wandering singers pushing their speakers and singing for ten yuan a song. How can singing make money?"
The reporter was stunned.
Shouldn't the answer to this question be to say that you have artistic pursuits, so you chose to join the film and television industry? How can you answer a question like this?
Tianle’s people have already called for a second reporter.
"Director Han, you debuted as a champion of a talent show, and you are also the director, screenwriter, and lead actor of a movie. Some netizens think you have a deep background and capital behind you. Can you respond?"
Han Zhou nodded seriously: "Of course I have a background."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene.
How could anyone put this thing on the table?
Han Zhou continued: "My motherland is my background, and my fans are my capital."
Everyone rolled their eyes.
Some people also thought that Han Zhou's style of answering questions was very interesting and wrote it down word for word.
Soon, it was Zhou Guoqing's turn to ask questions.
Reporter: "Teacher Zhou, there is news that you have accepted Director Zhang's TV series "Emperor Yue Ming", playing the role of prime minister, and now you are also appearing in the crew of "This Man From Earth". Is it overlapping roles?"
Double-dressing is a phenomenon that has always existed in the film and television industry, but in recent years, under the influence of some famous young actors and actresses, it has become a term known to many people.
To put it simply, it means shooting more than one film or TV series at the same time, and playing more than one role at the same time.
This is unacceptable to the older generation.
Zhou Guoqing smiled: "Because I only filmed for six days on the set of "This Man From Earth", it did not affect the filming of "Emperor Yue Ming"."
The reporter was confused.
For a movie where you only play a role for less than a week, you even attended the press conference?
But that’s true, after all, he is a well-known veteran actor. On the one hand, it’s out of respect, and on the other hand, the crew wants to borrow Zhou Guoqing’s reputation.
Someone asked: "Excuse me, this movie is said to be a science fiction movie. Teacher Zhou, you accepted the role. Does it mean that you are very optimistic about this movie?"
Zhou Guoqing: "Of course I am optimistic about it. The script of this movie is very good. After reading it, I decided to take this role. My role is also very interesting, but I can't spoil it. I can only say that my role and director Han Zhou's role are very closely related."
The reporters were all veterans and understood what was said as soon as they heard it.
Father and son game.
However, they may not be able to think about how the father and son are specifically divided.
Soon, the reporter finally got the chance to interview Ye Manyi, the highlight of the event.
"Ye Manyi, what opportunity made you choose to join this movie?"
Ye Manyi smiled: "I heard that Director Han was making this movie, so I wanted to join, but Director Han didn't want to."
The reporter's eyes widened. Big news!
Ye Manyi: "So I am making a special appearance this time, which can be regarded as a relatively long free guest appearance."
The reporter was even more dumbfounded.
Actress, guest star?
Ye Manyi, as a popular young actress, has just transformed into a big screen actress and won the Best Actress award in the first year. She is a relatively stable female star among the top stars. Why should she play the leading role for free?
What the hell? If you say Han Zhou has no background and no capital, who would believe it?
Ye Manyi's words shocked the reporters so much that a riot broke out at the press conference.
It continued until the last main part before it stopped.
"Director Han, your first film, Hello Mr. Tree, will be released in theaters nationwide on New Year's Day. It is reported that you were the director, screenwriter, and lead actor of the first film. Is this the same? Will you write, direct, and star in it yourself?"
Han Zhou nodded: "That's right."
Reporter: "If you are a good singer, you can act, and if you are a good actor, you can direct. You have just debuted and you have taken on so many tasks. What if the box office or reputation of your work collapses?"
Han Zhou smiled: "I don't know whether the box office will collapse or not, it all depends on the choice of the fans."
"As for word of mouth, the film has had its premiere by internal critics and the reviews are not bad. In addition, Hello Mr. Tree has been sent to several film festivals for selection. We have received news from the film festivals that have already conducted preliminary selections that it has passed the preliminary selections. So the word of mouth should not be too high."
Han Zhou answered honestly, but to the reporter, the answer sounded a bit arrogant.
The film has received good reviews from critics and has been selected for several film festivals. This is clearly a show-off!
There are so many movies throughout the year, how many of them can be shortlisted for film festivals?
Not much!
Don't you have to be modest when answering questions? What? Are you mentally ill? Oh, that's fine.
The reporter continued: "So, your first movie hasn't even been officially released yet, but you've already started shooting your second movie, and it's a big-budget science fiction movie! If both movies fail in succession, your career as a director may end here. Will this kind of pressure interfere with your work as a director?"
Han Zhou shook his head: "I do have pressure, but it doesn't come from this kind of pressure. My main pressure comes from the filming funds."
"I spent all my money on scene setting and filming, and the proportion of money spent on actors was so small that it could be ignored."
"It's been a bit stressful lately."
Han Zhou did not explain the issue of big-budget productions.
Because science fiction movies are big-budget and big-production, this is the consensus of everyone.
If this point is denied, it would be equivalent to exposing the biggest attraction and selling point of the movie.
Of course Han Zhou couldn't do that.
As for the expenses, I was also honest. I didn't pay a penny for the film remuneration, not even for the hotel. The most I paid for the actors' lunch boxes was five days.
Indeed, the proportion is so small that it can be ignored.
Reporters asked all kinds of questions.
Han Zhou felt that Wang Xiya was still reliable.
During the entire press conference, two-thirds of the questions were about the "big science fiction movie" "This Man From Earth".
Only a quarter of the topics are about "Hello Mr. Tree".
The rest is personal gossip about the main creative team.
It's already very well controlled.
Logically, at this kind of press conference, reporters should only be interested in Ye Manyi and ask her about her personal matters frantically.
This shows that Wang Xiya spent money on these media.
terrific!
Moreover, Wang Xiya did not just promote "Hello Mr. Tree" but instead gave most of the space to "This Man From Earth".
The press conference continued very amicably, and some interesting news came out, so the reporters were doubly satisfied.
Not only can I earn writing fees, but I can also write news . It's a win-win situation.
Until the end, someone asked Han Zhou: "Director Han, I want to ask a question about you personally."
The man looked at Han Zhou and said, "On the stage of Tomorrow's Superstar, you wrote a rap song for An Lan to sing. This seems to be different from the usual style of rappers. So many rappers are dissatisfied these days. Some people even released songs to diss you. Will you respond?"
Han Zhou frowned.
When the reporter saw that the provocation was effective, he immediately said, "They also think that the lyrics you wrote don't rhyme, don't have attitude, and are not rap at all. They also dissed you, saying that you should make money in your own circle instead of getting involved in rap music. What do you think of this?"
Han Zhou heard the other party being impolite, so he didn't respond: "It's like this, these people may not be very famous, I haven't heard of this, I check the hot search list every day, and I don't see this hot search."
"Second, what is rhyme? Has anyone ever written a song or lyrics without rhyme? Is rhyme a word exclusive to rappers? If I don't want to rhyme, I won't rhyme. If I want to rhyme, I will rhyme. No one else can tell me."
"Third, they released a song to diss me, but I haven't listened to it yet. When I have time, I might make a rap song in response."
"That's it."
This is the first time Han Zhou feels like he has truly entered a circle since he entered this circle.
It is impossible for a circle to be full of good people, or for everyone to have a good temper, and it is even more impossible for everyone to like a certain person.
For fame, for profit, or even for being too casual in greeting when meeting someone, it is possible to create a big enemy.
Now someone is targeting him, and it's a rapper who is known for his diss culture. Han Zhou had expected this, but he didn't expect it.
How does it bother them if I write a song for An Lan?
Han Zhou decided to go and see what was going on.
"The launch conference of "This Man From Earth" has concluded successfully. Please go to Hall No. 2 for dinner..." Tianle's people continued the process.
Han Zhou picked up his phone to check what was happening.
But after picking up the phone, Han Zhou was in a dilemma. How could he find out who DISSed him?
After thinking for a long time, Han Zhou opened the @ list on Weibo.
Sure enough, it is true.
