Da Tiantian is really lucky!

Even if "The Great Wall" is not a big production, as Chen Mengxi's first Chinese film, the attention itself is very high. Just like Li Mi directed "Lust and Caution" that made the entire Chinese entertainment industry excited...

It is said that when "Lust and Caution" selected actors, a group of film and television company bosses and agents tried their best...

Unfortunately, Tang Wei got the role, and then she was promoted to the goddess of literature and art with "Lust and Caution" - Four Dans and Double Bings, Tang and One Shu!

"The Great Wall" is more important.

The first Chinese-language film of the Oscar Best Director Chen Mengxi, and the first big-produced monster movie!

The industry has different opinions on "The Great Wall"...

Some are optimistic, while others are skeptical.

After all, the two previous movies of Chen Mengxi, "Manchester by the Sea" and "Hunting", are both niche literary dramas, and suddenly turned around and started making popcorn movies?

Li Mi is so arrogant that she can't even play "Hulk"...

No matter what the industry predicts, at least focus on this!

As the leading female lead, Da Tiantian naturally has to follow the crew to promote...

It’s just an appetizer now. When it’s officially released, there will be more than 50 exclusive interviews within a week!

"The scenes are OK, more than a hundred scenes, because I am the heroine..."

"I have a bit of appreciation for each other with the male protagonist, but there is no intimate scene. According to the original words of the screenwriter, that is, the director, we can do it with emotion and etiquette."

"I have also read the comments online. If there are any places that accuse me of acting, I will definitely correct them, because in this way I know where my shortcomings are. But if it is some inexplicable and false news that will affect me, I will not pay attention to it..."

"The pressure must be great. I can't hold back if so many good actors get together!"

"Director Mengxi is very good at directing the actor. He emphasizes his eyes very much. He will tell me that you don't need to act deliberately in this shot. As long as you have it in your heart, your eyes will naturally have it..."

"Why choose me? I really don't know much about this. In fact, there were a few actresses who went to the United States to train with me at that time..."

"Eight months in advance, they arranged a particularly sophisticated course schedule, from 8:00 to 12:00 stunt training, and prop training, such as spears and Wia. There will be lines pronunciation in the afternoon, performance classes, and fitness in the evening. Western aesthetics may be somewhat different from us. At that time, I was over 90 pounds, and they said I was too thin. The producer said I had to grow at least 20 pounds, so I started to gain weight. It was really gaining weight..."

"The biggest difficulty is of course the language. Because the version released in the United States this time has no dubbing, we will have very strict requirements. The cinemas in the United States are different from those in China. They don't seem to have the habit of watching subtitles, so I have to say it so that they can fully understand it. The higher requirement is to express emotions, which is quite difficult."

OK, the end of this episode of Da Tiantian, your eyes shift to the forum unit…

...

This forum invited Luc Besson, Keanu Reeves, Paul Haneman, co-president of 21st Century Fox, Chen Kexin, Deputy Director of the General Administration, Zhong Lifang and Chen Mengxi.

The theme is the experience and possibility of cooperation between Chinese and foreign films...

There is nothing to say about the content, and we are talking about the benefits of cooperation:: learn from strengths and weaknesses, cooperate with each other, integrate technical resources, and help the development of China's film industry...

Chen Mengxi also played around this theme. Of course, he came to the Beijing Film Festival to promote the Great Wall, so let’s start with the Great Wall:

"The Great Wall is a big attempt, the first time that the Chinese-led blockbuster was released simultaneously worldwide! It is a small step taken by Chinese films!"

"In order to let Chinese films go out, we participated in various film festivals and won awards at film festivals. This has been decades and people are always doing it. But you know that the space for these communication is limited. The blockbusters released in mainstream theaters that affect most young people in the world have always been short versions of Chinese films. If the film is an industrial system, it is a heavy industry. I personally think it is a pillar industry."

"Let's talk about Sino-foreign cooperation~"

"In the past few years, considering China's audience and market, Chinese and foreign co-productions often adopt the "layer mode". In the film, the scenes of Chinese actors outside the main plot, as well as the Chinese scenes, and the time and space, they realize the connection between different contexts of China and the West, but things go against their wishes and often make people feel inconsistent."

"A mature co-production requires three elements. In addition to the joint investment between China and foreign countries, Chinese cultural elements and major Chinese actors are also indispensable."

"However, movies are facing a global market, and we must pay special attention to global marketing. How to organically combine Chinese elements and global elements very naturally. This can not only be solved by adding a few Chinese actors, but we should organically integrate Chinese elements!"

"This is very difficult to deal with, so we have not developed many co-production projects in the past two years... and Chinese audiences grew up watching realist-themed movies. When the actors we are familiar with appearing in non-realistic movies, how to quickly get the audience to accept them is also a problem!"

"China and foreign markets are the first to do this. Project development has been suspended in the past two years, and there are also considerations in this regard. After all, the mainland market is our base camp!"

Speaking of this, Chen Mengxi glanced at Lucbesson and suddenly said: "Recently this year, with the rapid rise of the Chinese film market, many veteran filmmakers want to come to China to make money... We must pay attention to this!"

"Let me tell you an example of my personal experience. Mr. Lucbesson. I visited him in France two years ago and wanted to reach a cooperation with Europa Pictures. However, after a few conversations, I found that he was full of money and asked me to pay for the saving of Europa Pictures... I didn't agree!"

"France is not just one company, Europa Pictures. We chose Gaomeng Pictures as our partner and jointly created "Unreachable", "Never End", and "The Strange Travel of the Young Speyer"..."

"It's nothing else. I just remind everyone that some people cooperate with us for movies, while some people simply think that the Chinese film market is stupid and has a lot of money. I hope everyone pays special attention to this!"

The scene was a little awkward...

After all, Lucbesson is a world-class famous director, and he was specially invited by the Beijing Film Festival to support the table!

Last year, James Cameron was Lucbesson this year...

Then Chen Mengxi DISSed in public, making people unable to get out of Taiwan.

Before it was over, Chen Mengxi added: "Moviemakers are also human beings, and it is understandable to make money, but I think that I can judge his artistic career in advance that ends here!"

"Ahem..."
Chapter completed!
