Chapter 928 Launch Conference
The filming start date of "Changjin Lake" was set on October 10, and this opening ceremony, which was delayed for a year, attracted attention.

Before it even started, the news spread online.

After all, the cast of "Changjin Lake" this time is unprecedented. It is jointly directed by three leaders Li Mu, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kaige, and starred by Wu Jing, Duan Yihong, Hu Jun, Yi Yang Qianxi and others. The lineup is luxurious.

Even the directors under the three major director groups are well-known in the industry, and even well-known directors such as Wu Jing were present.

It has been a year since the last press conference, and many people have almost forgotten it. The news of this launch conference has completely awakened people's memories.

At the end of October, at the end of autumn, there was a slight chill in the air.

The sun shines through the high blue sky, casting a golden glow that is warm but not blinding.

The leaves of the sycamore trees on both sides of the street began to turn yellow and fall one after another, covering the ground with a layer of golden carpet, adding a bit of poetry to the city.

Li Mu held Xiao Baozi's left hand, and Liu Yifei held his right hand, and the three of them strolled on the road full of sycamore trees in the early morning.

"It won't affect today's opening ceremony, right?" Liu Yifei asked softly.

"No, it opens at 10 o'clock. It's totally in time to send her to kindergarten."

Li Mu smiled and looked at the little bun jumping lightly under the hands of the two men, and couldn't help but smile faintly.

"Dad, will you take me home today?" The little boy looked at Li Mu with his cute eyes.

"It should be possible." Li Mu smiled and ruffled the little bun's hair. After thinking about today's schedule, he responded.

"OK!"

"Brother!"

After delivering the buns, Li Mu quickly drove to the Military Museum, which was also the starting point of the opening ceremony. As soon as he got off the car, he saw from afar Zhang Yi in a Zhongshan suit and Chen Kai in a suit and tie, talking and laughing as they prepared to step in.

"Haha, we thought you had arrived earlier." Zhang Yi looked back and couldn't help but laugh.

"No, after delivering the little bun, I played for a few minutes. Oh, by the way, have you read the latest script?"

Li Mu hurriedly took two quick steps, and the three of them walked hand in hand, chatting together.

"I've read it. This time it's much better than the original one. Although the number of words is less, the content is more. This task is not easy." Zhang Yi said with emotion.

The current script of "Changjin Lake" has been refined from the original version of 187 pages and 13 words to only 6 words. It can be said that the remaining words are the essence.

"Senior Brother, are you two afraid of complicated scripts?" Li Mu couldn't help but asked with a smile.

"Hahaha, you, you"

As the three of them walked into the inner hall, everyone's eyes turned to look over there. After all, the protagonists today were not the leading actors, but the three major directors.

Huang Jianxin and Ming Zhenjiang also stood up at this moment and talked to Li Mu, Zhang Yi and others about some of the content that would be discussed later.

Compared with the project launch conference, the launch conference seems simpler.

As the chief producer and director, Li Mu was naturally the first to speak.

"I am very happy to be here today. I always feel my blood boiling when I hear people talking about the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. The reason is very simple. This war is the founding war of the People's Republic of China. Because of the victory of this war, our country has been free from foreign invasion for 70 years. I was thinking about what guided me when we took on such a task and how to shoot such a film.

I remember what screenwriter Lan Xiaolong said, "At that time, New China was a one-year-old baby, and the motherland was a one-year-old baby."

I was thinking to myself, before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, we Chinese had nothing. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, we still had nothing, but we had one thing, which was hope.”

At the launch conference, everyone talked about their own tasks, and after the start of this time, the first to start working was Brother Chen Kai, who needed to start framing and shooting some places.

Li Mu and Zhang Yi have a more relaxed schedule, with the main tasks starting in December.

At the launch conference on the same day, various official media were the first to release information.

"To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteers' participation in the Korean War, the film "Changjin Lake" co-produced by Mengying Media, Bona Film Group and August 10st Film Studio, led by the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, held a press conference at the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution on October 28, announcing the official start of filming.

The film is produced and executive produced by Li Mu, with Huang Jianxin as chief producer, and co-produced and co-directed by Li Mu, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kaige. As a key tribute to the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party, it is scheduled to be released in 2021.

Although the news had been reported by the media two days ago, it still caused quite a stir when it was publicized by major media on the same day.

"Okay, okay, the press conference is finally here. I've been waiting for you for so long."

"It was filmed in our Dandong again. Are you envious? Hehehe"

"I've been waiting for you for a year. The three major directors have finally joined forces to start filming. Hurry up, wait until the flowers have wilted!"

"."

The reviews online are extremely enthusiastic. As the most anticipated movie of next year, its popularity is no less than that of some big melons.

After all, it is jointly created by industry bigwigs and is hailed as an epic war film. You can imagine how the current "King Kong River" does not even have this title.

And just one day after the launch conference, the huge crew started working.

The first to set off are naturally Brother Chen Kai and the corresponding photography team. They need to shoot the corresponding scenes at scenic spots in Tiantai, Xianju, Changxing and Hengdian before January, which is before Li Mu and Zhang Yi start.

The three of them then worked together in Dandong to complete the remaining main part.

It is late autumn now, and Hanshan Lake is a beautiful sight with its waters surrounded by green mountains and colorful forests.

In the photos and videos sent back by the crew in advance, Hanshan Lake is surrounded by golden leaves at this moment, with beautiful red Metasequoia in the water. The scenery is beautiful and it is worthy of the reputation of Jiangnan Water Town.

"Such scenes should be Director Chen's forte."

Liu Yifei couldn't help but sigh as she watched Li Mu looking at the photos.

It is hard for anyone to not admire such a beautiful scenery.

“So Director Chen is most suitable for shooting the first segment.”

Li Mu also strongly agreed with what Liu Yifei said. When shooting picturesque movie shots, only Chen Kai and Zhang Yi were far ahead, but Zhang Yi's pictures were completely different from Chen Kai's.

Because Zhang Yimou’s paintings are more colorful, with delicate compositions, and focus on realism and humanistic care;

But Chen Kaige pays more attention to the poetic and freehand effects of the picture, and uses non-linear narrative structure and clever picture composition to express the great changes in history and society.
