Chapter 401: Everyone Shocked When Visiting the Studio
Zhou Xun replied: "In the movie, I played the daughter of the protagonist."
Hearing her answer, the reporters were stunned on the spot. They all knew that Zhang Xiao wrote, directed and acted in this movie, and the protagonist must be Zhang Xiao.
Then he asked: "You seem to be older than Xiao Shen. It seems too inconsistent for you to play his daughter!"
"No!" Zhou Xun explained: "In the film, my daughter is older than her father."
Now the reporters were even more confused and asked: "What? I don't quite understand what you mean. Is there any son or daughter who is older than his father?"
Zhou Xun thought for a while and said: "This involves the magical theory of time and space. I'm sorry, I can't reveal too much else."
“···”
After Zhou Xun answered a few questions, reporters asked Reba again:
"Reba, what's the relationship between you and Xiao Shen in the movie this time?"
Reba said with a smile: "Close teammates."
"Excuse me, Xiao Shen is so good, and you and Goddess Mimi are good sisters and best friends. Have you ever liked Xiao Shen?"
"Sorry, please ask some questions about the movie, thank you!"
“···”
Next, the reporters asked questions about the film creators who appeared one by one.
The entire launch conference lasted for a full hour and a half, and the reporters' questions were like the surging river, endless.
Fortunately, everyone is experienced in the battlefield. Not only did there not be any problems, but it also whetted the appetite of the reporters.
Soon, the news that Zhang Xiao had started filming the domestic science fiction movie "Interstellar" spread throughout the Internet, immediately arousing the expectations of countless movie fans.
"Oh my god, Xiao Shen is going to use his big moves now!"
"Just by hearing the name, you know it's a super science fiction blockbuster."
"From the interview, it was said that the investment would be at least 300 million US dollars, so I believe the special effects will be awesome."
"I still don't understand, under what circumstances would a daughter be older than her father?"
"If you open your mouth, you will get two billion US dollars in box office. I am afraid that only Xiao Shen in the entire entertainment industry dares to say that!"
"But looking at the cast, all of them are talented, so "Interstellar" should be a good choice."
"Xiao Shen's production must be a high-quality product. I look forward to Xiao Shen's new work "Interstellar" being released soon.
“···”
On Zhang Xiao's side, after the press conference, he took the crew to visit the sixteen studios built by Taishan Special Effects Company.
Among these studios, three are still unfinished, and the other thirteen have been completed.
Deng Cao himself had been a director and was very interested in the filming equipment on the opposite side. He pointed at a strange-looking camera and asked curiously: "Director Zhang, this machine should cost a lot of money!"
Zhang Xiao glanced sideways and said: "This is a camera that Liu Haiquan went to Lighthouse Country to find someone to custom-make. Including the lens, if I remember correctly, it seems to cost 2.3 million...USD."
"
"How much did you say?"
When Deng Cao heard this, he almost stumbled and fell to the ground. He had already stretched out his hand to touch the camera, but quickly took it back.
A camera worth more than two million U.S. dollars and more than 10 million Soft Girl coins. Mom, it’s so scary.
Others were shocked when they heard the price and became cautious when passing by.
After Zhang Xiao took everyone around, he said: "Let's go, I will take you to see the spaceship."
Chen Daoming was stunned when he heard this and asked suspiciously: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Xiao smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know after you follow me and take a look."
Then, everyone walked into a huge green screen studio, and saw two behemoths coming into view.
These are two very unique spaceships. One is like an airship and the other is like a chariot. They are ten meters high and full of strong science fiction colors.
Everyone was fascinated by these two spaceships the first time they saw them.
Zhou Xun covered his lips in shock and exclaimed: "Oh my god, did you make those two spaceships in the movie?"
Zhang Xiao nodded with a smile and said: "When I was preparing to shoot "Across the Stars", I had more than 30 engineers, with hundreds of experts, create this in a 1:1 ratio.
Two things."
Zhang Yi carefully reached out and touched the outer shell of the spacecraft, and exclaimed with shock on his face: "It's amazing, I'm convinced."
Chen Daoming said: "This is the attitude towards making movies."
Deng Cao, who has always been a little stubborn about prices, asked again: "Director Zhang, how much did these two things cost?"
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "It's less than 100 million. Originally, I wanted to take it to Iceland for real-life shooting. But then I thought, it would be more than worth the gain, because with the current special effects technology, we can completely connect the spaceship with Iceland."
If they are perfectly grafted together, the effect will be even better."
In fact, when director Nolan was filming on Earth, he dismantled the spacecraft into parts, transported them to Iceland, and then reassembled them for actual filming.
Zhang Xiao has the same attitude towards movies as Director Nolan on Earth, but he also has more flexible thinking and ideas than Director Nolan.
With top-notch special effects technology, Zhang Xiao will definitely not do something so laborious and time-consuming without much change.
Of course, compared with real shooting, this green screen shooting method will definitely cost at least 20 million US dollars more, but this does not matter to Zhang Xiao.
Twenty million is a huge amount of money for ordinary people, but for Zhang Xiao now, it is nothing.
Duan Hong, who had not spoken much, sighed: "I have been filming for more than 20 years, and I finally gained some experience today."
Reba also asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I remember that there is a mothership and an I-shaped spaceship for transporting cargo in the script. Won't you also make them?"
Zhang Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That's not true. I originally wanted to make it, but the current technology cannot make a mothership hundreds of meters high!"
Deng Cao said: "It is already remarkable to be able to achieve this level."
"By the way, Director Zhang, can I take a photo and post it on Weibo? I think this is a very good publicity point."
Zhang Xiao shrugged and said, "You're welcome."
When everyone heard Zhang Xiao's answer, they all took out their mobile phones and took pictures of the two spaceships. After taking pictures, they even asked people to take a group photo of them.
Suddenly, the entire studio was surrounding the two spaceships, taking pictures.
When the photo was posted online, all the fans were excited after seeing it.
"Let me go, what is this?"
"It looks like a spaceship. This is so awesome!"
"As expected of God Xiao, he is willing to spend such a large sum of money on a single prop."
