Chapter 971 Launch Release
At the script reading session on the second day, when Jiang Yuan left home, there was already a photographer following him to take pictures and record.
This was also the filming team that He Jing had arranged in advance.
The shooting of this new theme movie has been defined by He Jing as a challenge.
Indeed, in He Jing's view, if he can successfully complete the filming of "Wandering Blue Star", it will be regarded as a milestone in his directorial career.
Therefore, starting from the script reading meeting, a team was specially arranged to be responsible for shooting the behind-the-scenes footage, in preparation for later making it into a documentary about the filming of the movie. It can only be said that the considerations were indeed very thorough.
But to a certain extent, this is only necessary if the movie is ultimately successful.
Considering He Jing's mentality the day before, he must have made such a decision with a certain determination.
"Okay, let's go." Jiang Yuan packed the script into his bag, put on a windbreaker and prepared to go out.
The nanny car had been waiting upstairs for a long time.
During his long time abroad, Jiang Yuan basically rode in temporarily rented commercial vehicles.
On the days when the nanny car was not in use, Jiang Yuan asked the studio to re-apply a layer of frosted film to the car. When he saw it again, he looked around curiously before getting into the car after a long time.
Jiang Yuan had already gotten used to the journey from home to the company, and he closed his eyes and rested as soon as he got in the car.
"It might be a bit busy in front of the company." Zhang Qing suddenly said after the vehicle had been driving for a while.
"Isn't the launch conference tomorrow?" Jiang Yuan opened his eyes in surprise.
"Because Zeng Ye and the others basically arrived in Shanghai today and departed from the airport, the reporters immediately confirmed their destination."
"Plus, you've been abroad for some time recently, and your finally appearance has attracted everyone's attention." Zhang Qing shared what she knew about the situation.
"Then He Jing will probably be under more pressure again." Jiang Yuan smiled when he heard that. He was not troubled by this situation.
After all, the excitement is only in front of the company building, and no one would rush directly into the company.
On the contrary, He Jing no longer wanted to get too much attention at this moment when the filming was about to start.
If the schedule for the launch conference had not been set long ago, He Jing would have simply wanted to cancel the conference and start filming quietly.
"But I didn't expect that Zeng Ye and others would all come to the final script reading." After learning about the situation at the scene, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
In addition to Zeng Ye who was successfully selected during the audition, actors like Zheng Hai, who had auditioned together before, also participated in the filming of the movie in other roles.
According to what Jiang Yuan learned from He Jing, after Zheng Hai and the others confirmed what roles they would play, they had been communicating with each other in a rather sad manner, trying their best to perform better.
"I just don't know what the atmosphere will be like today. I hope it will go smoothly."
This is also the first time that Jiang Yuan has participated in a work with such a strong cast, and even the supporting roles are well-known actors in the circle.
The vehicle soon arrived at the company's gate. Although Zhang Qing had informed him in advance, Jiang Yuan was still surprised by the scene in front of the company's gate.
It was indeed lively, and in addition to reporters, there were also some fans present.
There were fans from every group, and there were so many that order had to be maintained at the scene.
Faced with such a grand occasion, Jiang Yuan did not dare to stay at the scene for too long. After getting out of the car, he rushed directly into the company.
Fortunately, the noise outside did not have much impact on the company.
It was still the same large conference room as the day before, but the people present had changed. The main characters in the movie were already waiting on the scene when Jiang Yuan arrived.
After seeing Jiang Yuan coming, everyone came forward one by one and greeted Jiang Yuan enthusiastically.
Although Jiang Yuan has not gone far on the path of being an actor, everyone can see that Jiang Yuan has long since left the ranks of ordinary actors. Even his own role might have been decided by Jiang Yuan behind the scenes.
So for a while everyone showed great respect to Jiang Yuan.
Although this is indeed the case, Jiang Yuan still cannot get used to everyone's attitude.
But I thought that once I got more familiar with the cast after the filming started, things would be much better, so I didn’t take it too seriously.
After greeting everyone, He Jing also presided over the script reading meeting.
This happens to be a process for the actors to get used to each other in advance, and it also allows everyone to become more familiar with the plot to be performed next.
The script meeting went much more smoothly than Jiang Yuan expected.
“Seeing everyone’s condition makes me feel relieved.”
When the script reading meeting ended, He Jing also stood up and said a few words to summarize, which was also a encouragement before the official start of filming.
"Then we'll see you at the launch conference tomorrow." When leaving, Jiang Yuan also said goodbye to Zeng Ye and other leading actors.
After the script reading session, the actors all had a good impression of each other.
There was still quite a bit of time to spend together until the press conference the next day and the official start of filming. Everyone happened to have their own work matters to attend to and didn’t stay on site for long.
"Are you relieved now?" After everyone left, only Jiang Yuan and He Jing were left.
"At least for now, everyone has studied the script carefully and is quite familiar with it. We just have to wait until the official shooting starts to see the results." He Jing thought about it and gave a relatively rigorous answer.
"That's true. Let's go to the site and see if it's reliable." Jiang Yuan thought about it and nodded.
If you can capture the desired picture texture more accurately when you start shooting, the shooting will go more smoothly.
If you are not careful, the captured image may not be the same as what you imagined, which will require a long time to debug.
"You should go back and rest early as well. We will leave after the press conference tomorrow."
"You haven't been to the film and television base we built yet. I plan to take everyone on a tour the day after tomorrow to watch the show." He Jing said to Jiang Yuan.
With the filming approaching, He Jing also hoped that Jiang Yuan could have a better rest. After all, he had just rushed back from abroad and had no time to rest.
"Yes, this really needs a closer look." Jiang Yuan was also very interested when he heard it.
This time, for the filming of "Wandering Blue Planet", the crew specially built a set directly at the film and television base as the main scene for filming. Jiang Yuan had only seen some photos of the scene before and was not sure what effect the built scene would eventually present.
The next day, because the film itself is a science fiction film, He Jing also chose a hall in the Science and Technology Museum as the venue for the press conference. Although He Jing has tried to keep the film launch activities as low-key as possible, it can be seen from the scene of the script reading outside the company the day before that it is difficult to keep a low profile.
At the launch conference that day, some media reporters had already arrived at the scene and were waiting before Jiang Yuan and others set off.
The exhibition hall temporarily rented for the press conference was also specially decorated, with pre-drawn movie concept posters placed on both sides of the entrance of the exhibition hall.
Some props designed during the early stages of the film's preparations are also used as displays in the exhibition hall.
Because the filming of the movie had not started yet, the reporters who arrived early naturally could not imagine that the props in the exhibition hall would be related to the content of the movie. They just thought of them as related decoration elements specially made for the press conference.
Even so, this kind of press conference environment also made everyone a little surprised, and they chatted briefly and shared their feelings.
“This press conference is quite different.”
"It's really curly, but I have to say, it really feels like a ritual!"
"After all, it was produced by Jiang Yuan and He Jing. Although the subject matter is hard to say, the production level is still there."
"I don't know why, but I think this movie will be a hit."
"What questions have you prepared for later?"
-
While the media colleagues who arrived at the scene early were chatting, Jiang Yuan and others were also ready to set off for the scene.
"Today we are preparing for a live broadcast just like before." He Jing said to Jiang Yuan in the same nanny car.
This is also an old tradition of the two when they started filming several movies they had previously collaborated on, and many fans have made appointments for the online live broadcast in advance.
"You don't plan to explain too much today, right?" Jiang Yuan asked about the content of the press conference. The entire process was basically arranged by He Jing alone.
"I'm just going to give a brief introduction to the direction. The next step will be media interviews." When the word media interview was mentioned, He Jing suddenly felt a headache.
Unlike previous launch conferences, this time, because the subject matter of the film had already aroused discussion early on, many media were very interested in issues related to the film.
Before the press conference even started, He Jing had a vague premonition that there would be many traps waiting for him during the interview.
"This is indeed something we need to pay attention to." Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement.
Although the entire launch conference is broadcast live and the questions answered are not easily taken out of context, if you accidentally answer the wrong question, you will be falling into a trap.
"I'll just have to pay attention to it then, and tell Zeng Ye and the others later. The topic of casting was quite hot before, and we might be asked about it today as well." He Jing said thoughtfully.
Jiang Yuan then looked at the crew group chat that had just been set up the day before. Zeng Ye and others also shared their departure status in real time in the group chat.
We will all gather together in advance and appear at the press conference together.
Compared to the lively script reading the day before, only a few main actors will appear at the launch conference.
"We're here." After the vehicle had been running smoothly for a while, He Jing reminded Jiang Yuan.
Although many reporters had already entered the exhibition hall in advance to wait, there were also many reporters squatting at the entrance of the Science and Technology Museum waiting for Jiang Yuan and others to arrive and take entrance photos.
There are also some media outlets that did not receive an invitation to the press conference and can only wait here.
After hearing He Jing's reminder, Jiang Yuan immediately tidied up his clothes.
After all, once the car door opens, even if He Jing and I step into the camera, the photos will appear on the Internet at the first time, so image is still very important.
For example, Jiang Yuan and the other person were both wearing formal black suits today.
"Let's go." After the car stopped, Jiang Yuan called out and opened the car door first.
As soon as I stepped out of the car door, I was greeted by the familiar flashes of light and the sound of shutter clicks.
He Jing also got off the car and stood next to Jiang Yuan.
While greeting the camera, the two calmly walked into the venue, as if they had walked a red carpet.
After entering the museum, Jiang Yuan and his companion did not rest. Before the press conference officially began, they stood together with Zeng Ye and others to take a group photo of the main creative team and other materials.
It was not until almost time that I was told that the press conference was about to officially begin.
At this time, the exhibition hall dedicated to the press conference was already very lively, and the seats below the stage were almost full.
The live broadcast camera position was also adjusted early, and the live broadcast started on Yuan Universe three minutes in advance.
For important events like movie launches, fans would immediately log on to the live broadcast and follow the real-time updates.
On time, the host specially arranged for this press conference also appeared on the scene and began to host Jiang Yuan and others on stage.
At this time, everyone appeared at the side door of the exhibition hall.
He Jing said that he wanted to keep a low profile, but when he appeared at the press conference, he still arranged BGM for everyone, which could be said to be a very grand entrance.
So the main creators went on stage one by one, Jiang Yuan also stood in the center of the stage and began to introduce himself to the audience.
After the self-introduction, it was time for He Jing to perform.
The set process is that He Jing briefly describes the decision to shoot this film and the preparation process, etc.
At this time, Jiang Yuan was sitting in his seat listening to He Jing's speech.
A pre-made PPT was also prepared on site for explanation.
Different from the past, He Jing set very high values at the beginning of his speech this time, and was determined to create a good domestic science fiction film.
At the same time, the public opinions that appeared on the Internet when the project was first announced were also reviewed on the spot. It can be said that the tone was raised very high. Jiang Yuan was a little surprised when he listened to it.
After all, before the press conference started, He Jing said that he wanted to keep a low profile.
However, in the second half of his speech, He Jing still showed a very humble attitude, comparing himself to a pathfinder on this road.
"The filming has not started yet, so we dare not say how high it will go."
"But there is no doubt that we will do our best to produce and present this film to everyone." At the end of his speech, He Jing made a resounding conclusion.
