Chapter 463 New Film Release Conference

In early March, the long-awaited sequel to "Heroes Company" was finally announced to start filming.

The ceremony was still held in Beijing, but due to weather reasons, a five-star hotel was chosen instead of an outdoor square.

Because the hotel banquet hall is limited in size, the number of reporters and audiences present is also limited.

But these people are very enthusiastic. After all, Director Jiang hasn't made a special effects blockbuster for more than a year!

The first work after "comeback" is also a sequel to a popular work like "Heroes Company". Just think about how popular it will be.

At the new film press conference, hundreds of media reporters and photographers gathered together and talked about it.

"The market situation is really getting better now!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that Xingye's "The Mermaid" would also exceed 3 billion!"

"I think this movie is just well marketed, and the quality level is a bit average!"

"That's right, the special effects scenes can't be compared with Director Jiang's!"

"The main selling point of this movie is not special effects, but comedy!"

"I don't think it's that funny!"

"I think it's quite interesting!"

A bunch of reporters were talking about the box office battles during the two important periods of the Lunar New Year and the Spring Festival.

After all, the biggest winner is still iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures, which makes many movie company bosses and directors feel sad.

A group of reporters were also discussing enthusiastically. Director Jiang had already won before he even left the stage, and now he has to continue shooting special effects blockbusters. Those people really can't catch up!

"Here it comes, it's about to start!" Someone shouted, and everyone looked at the stage.

But a beautiful host took the lead and talked about the proud achievements and huge influence of the first part of "Heroes Company".

Then, he read some comments from netizens, which roughly meant that they hoped to see a sequel one day.

A reporter in the audience said: "Director Jiang's sequel is too slow. I'm still waiting to see "The Three-Body Problem 2"!"

"I want to see "Pacific Rim 3". If not, "Atlantics" will do!"

"I want to see the sequel of "Little Soldier Legend". I'm really anxious to wait!"

"Wait a minute. Director Jiang has made so many series. It will take several years for each series to have a sequel!"

"Those who like "The Hero Company" are blessed!"

"Yes!"

While the reporters were whispering, Jiang Heng had already taken the lead to walk onto the stage at the invitation of the reporters.

He first said a few polite words, and then invited a group of creators to the stage.

There were Hu Qian who played Ge Xiaolun, Ding Haifeng who played Liu Chuang, Huang Xiaoming who played Zhao Xin, and Zhou Jielun who played Cheng Yaowen.

Yes, Jay Chou is here to act in a movie again.

Fortunately, Cheng Yaowen's role is not that big, so Jay Chou's salary is not very high, and the crew can afford it.

In addition, there are Wu Jing who plays Monkey King, Liu Yifei who plays Qiangwei, Jing Tian who plays Rena, Kala La who plays Qilin, Yang Mi who plays Rui Mengmeng, and Zhang Yuqi who plays Liang Bing.

It can be said that all the people standing on the stage are handsome men and beautiful women, and they are basically first-line stars. The cast is unprecedentedly strong.

Especially Zhang Yuqi and Yang Tianbao, one has just become famous for his wonderful performance in "The Mermaid".

The other has received good reviews for "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Sea".

It is understandable that the former appears here, because in "The Heroes 1", there is a scene where Liang Bing sneaks into the fleet and is exclaimed "such a big evil" by Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuang, Zhao Xin and others, so the audience has an impression of Zhang Yuqi.

And Yang Tianbao, who suddenly appeared here, is he going to play an important role?

"Thank you very much, Director Jiang, for giving me the opportunity to stand here. I am also very honored to be able to participate in this movie. However, I don't have many scenes in this movie. There are others who are favored by Director Jiang...!"

Yang Tianbao's words stunned everyone present.

Because as early as half a month ago, there were rumors in the circle that the sequel of "Heroes Company" would have many new beautiful women.

As a result, many people speculated which beautiful actresses would participate in this movie.

Such as Gao Yuanyuan, Tang Yan, Zhao Liying, Dilireba, Gulinaza, Ni Ni and others are all on the list of speculation.

Unexpectedly, at the new film press conference, none of these people were seen. Yang Tianbao, known as the "Variety Goddess", actually showed up and said that she was just here to make soy sauce!

Is the rumor wrong?

Question Rumors in the entertainment industry are rarely groundless!

When reporters asked questions, they directly asked about new roles and new actors!

Jiang Heng directly dropped a bombshell, "In order to give the audience a better visual effect and viewing experience. In this movie, I plan to try a new technology, that is, the virtual digital actor!"

The reporters and audience in the venue were a little confused when they heard this. In fact, not only were they confused, but the main creative staff on the stage were also a little confused.

Virtual digital actors? What do you mean, is it purely made with special effects technology?

How can you do this for no reason!

The actors were curious, but they couldn't say it, and the reporters asked whatever was controversial!

"Hello, Director Jiang, I wonder what the advantages of this virtual digital actor you are talking about are! Will it replace real actors in the future!"

Jiang Heng said with a smile: "As the name suggests, virtual digital actors are screen images created through digital technology and special effects. They look like real people on the screen. As for the advantages, they can create external images according to needs, such as special styling, extremely beautiful appearance, etc.!"

The reporters in the audience heard this and immediately became noisy.

Many of them have many years of experience in the industry. They know how many handsome men and beautiful women on the screen are not so good-looking, who performs poorly under high-definition cameras, and who relies on photo editing to maintain their beauty.

It can be said that many beautiful women on the screen are not so good-looking in reality.

What's more, they are obviously ordinary in appearance, styling, and makeup, but they are bragging that they are peerless beauties and super handsome men. It's really embarrassing to watch!

From this perspective, virtual digital actors are still a good thing.

A reporter asked, are all these virtual characters female?

Jiang Heng nodded and said yes, and the scene was in an uproar again.

Because iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures have no shortage of beauties, but they want to create virtual digital actors. According to Jiang Heng's previous statement, it is likely that they need to have "extremely beautiful" looks, that is, to create a screen image that is more beautiful than Liu Yifei, Jing Tian, ​​Yang Mi, Kala La and others? What would that look like!

The reporters at the scene became more and more curious, and asked questions one after another. However, Jiang Heng was well aware of the principle that "controversy leads to topics", and talked about the advantages of virtual digital actors, which made the group of people stunned.

After the new film press conference, Kala La asked Yang Mi in not very standard Mandarin, "Director Jiang is not really going to do that, to replace us, right?"

Yang Mi laughed, "To scare those people, how much money would that cost!" (End of this chapter)
