1905 movie network news The press conference held on June 16 was undoubtedly one of the most popular events on the first day of the Shanghai International Film Festival. On that day, director Teng Huatao, original author and screenwriter Jiangnan, together with actors such as Lu Han, Shu Qi, Shi Liang, Gao Yixiang, Wang Gongliang, Wang Sen and Sun Jialing, appeared at the press conference and responded to a series of rather sharp questions on the spot.
"500,000 cost romance sci-fi blockbuster?"
"Shanghai Fortress" is based on the novel of the same name by Jiangnan, telling a story that takes place in the future, when the appearance civilization invades the earth to compete for resources, and the human race is left with the city of Shanghai, and there is a deadly battle with aliens. At the scene, when Jiangnan asked why the final city was set in Shanghai, he said: "Shanghai is a rare’metropolis’, and it is a kind of thing that will only appear when human civilization has developed to the extreme." And making this the final battlefield obviously has a different meaning.
Of course, there are also doubts that "Shanghai Fortress" is more like a romance film with a sci-fi shell, but both Jiangnan and Teng Huatao have denied this. From the trailers released in the previous film, it is not difficult for us to get a glimpse. Compared with the original, the film version has made a certain style change, more towards the mecha series. Of course, this is also related to the investment cost and the current level of sci-fi special effects production.
Many reviews of "Shanghai Fortress" are very harsh, and there are even remarks about "500,000 cost sci-fi films", questioning how much of the funds are really used for post productin. This hurts the director Teng Huatao, who hopes that the outside world will not just "step" on "Shanghai Fortress", but will have more confidence and encouragement, because Chinese science fiction has just begun, and the industrialization of Chinese films has just begun. Teng Huatao and the whole team hope to be able to present the audience with the most aesthetic texture within their limited ability.
"Do Luhan and Shu Qi have a sense of CP?"
Looking at Lu Han and Shu Qi sitting on the stage, everyone couldn’t help but sigh that the appearance of "Shanghai Fortress" can definitely be played. But does a high appearance mean a sense of CP? For these two siblings with a slight age difference, some netizens raised such questions.
"Then please go into the cinema on August 9 and watch" Shanghai Fortress "to find the answer." Instead of explaining, Shu Qi simply sold "Amway" at the press conference, and this sentence has been repeated by other creators since then. It is not the first time that director Teng Huatao and Shu Qi have cooperated. When talking about why she is willing to play in each other’s works again, she responded generously: "Because of Luhan." This also caused Luhan fans in the audience to scream.
Of course, the sense of CP is not up to one person. Faced with the stills of his affectionate Maimai looking at Shu Qi’s sister on the big screen, Lu Han confessed: "There may also be feelings of secret love." But then he changed his style: "But the aliens have come to attack the earth, and there is no time for secret love, so they have to fight aliens!"
"Earth is destroyed and we rely on Luhan to save us?"
Although many people are full of doubts about Teng Huatao’s ability to make this movie, from chick movies to sci-fi war movies "Shanghai Fortress", if it comes to who in this crew has been questioned the most, it is Lu Han.
On the big screen at the scene, a line of sharp questions hit Luhan directly: The earth is about to be destroyed, and we rely on Luhan to save it?
Since then, most audiences have been full of distrust and even prejudice towards Lu Han, a young actor who has starred in a series of film and television productions. Now that he is the lead actor in a sci-fi giant such as "Shanghai Fortress", there are inevitable voices of doubt. To this, Lu Han responded calmly: "[In the face of the evaluation] I am not confused, I am very confident. Because I have our team, and there are more than N teams behind me. It is the strength of the team."
Teng Huatao also talked again about how he invited Lu Han to participate in "Shanghai Fortress." Four years ago, when he was just writing the script, he was hit by a picture of Lu Han and thought that the boy was exactly the same as Jiang Yang in his mind. After three or four years of writing the script, the two finally reached a cooperation, but Teng Huatao is still very optimistic about Lu Han, believing that he still has the feeling of youth.
And Luhan also likes Jiang Yang very much, and he accidentally "spoilers". Jiang Yang ends with great love and dedication to humanity, which makes him admire.
On August 9, "Shanghai Fortress" will officially launch in mainland theaters.
