Start telling crosstalk from Tingyunxuan

Two days later.

The press conference for the movie "The Wandering Earth," jointly organized by Sheng Ying Film Company and Da Wan Pictures, was officially held at a five-star hotel in Beijing.

At the press conference, reporters asked the director and the main cast a number of questions.

As the film's director, Liu Ying was obviously the one who received the most questions.

"Director Liu Ying, it is said that this film has an investment of 350 million yuan. I want to know, as your directorial debut, with such a huge investment and the invitation of many excellent actors and people from other industries, do you think you can make a good film with such a huge investment?"

Although Liu Ying has never liked being in the public eye, she is able to act gracefully and confidently in such situations, thanks to her upbringing.

"Regarding the question of whether I can make a good film with an investment of 350 million yuan, please don't worry. I will have many parties working together on this film, and this is also my profession. I will definitely produce the best work and live up to everyone's expectations."

Another reporter from Southern Entertainment stood up and asked a question.

"Director Liu Ying, you must be our youngest female director right now. I'd like to know, this time we're making a science fiction film called 'The Wandering Earth.' When the filming plan was announced, some people commented that American film special effects don't look like special effects, while Chinese film special effects don't look like special effects. What are your thoughts on this, Director Liu Ying?"

Many people don't understand what this sentence means.

Simply put, the special effects in American movies are so realistic that they don't look like special effects at all, but rather like science fiction scenes.

The special effects in China don't look like special effects at all. It's because the special effects produced by these Chinese special effects companies have absolutely nothing to do with the word "special effects."

Just like Chinese table tennis, no one can beat it.

Just like Chinese football, it can't beat anyone.

That's not quite right either. It should be said that the Chinese men's football team can't beat anyone.

They even booked the entire hotel. If the people of Chongqing had any temper, they should kick them out of the city.

Liu Ying felt a little sad when she heard the reporter's question.

She began by saying, "As a Chinese person, I really hope that a truly Chinese science fiction film, a science fiction film that can be recognized by the world, can appear in this world. Let us earn US dollars, let us earn foreign money, and let our Chinese science fiction films go to other countries."

Everyone applauded, regardless of whether Liu Ying could actually do what she said.

But Liu Ying's sincerity alone is enough to move many people.

Unfortunately, given the current level of domestic science fiction films, they can't even touch the scraps of what others have achieved.

If "The Wandering Earth" becomes a representative Chinese science fiction masterpiece, then Liu Ying will undoubtedly be adored by countless fans.

After all, a beautiful female director and the director of a sci-fi blockbuster—these two buffs make her practically invincible.

Then someone asked, "Director Liu Ying, there are many excellent actors in 'The Wandering Earth.' But why did you choose Yang Yunsheng and Yang Yunlan, a brother and sister pair, for the two young leads?"

Liu Ying knew someone would ask this question.

Last night, she and Yang Yunsheng discussed adding a super bombshell to the movie before filming even began, so they had already prepared a standard answer.

Liu Ying replied, "Yang Yunlan is an artist under our company. If there is a good opportunity, I will definitely try to bring her along. Before this, we hired a special acting teacher for Yunlan, and she has been studying for more than three months. Her acting skills have improved a lot, and I believe everyone will be impressed."

After a pause, Liu Ying continued, "As for Yang Yunsheng, I believe many people know that in addition to being a young crosstalk performer, he is also an excellent stage actor. Furthermore, he created this script, so my choice of him as the lead actor is perfectly reasonable."

The reporters present, including viewers watching the press conference live on Douyin, all showed expressions of surprise.

Was this script written by Yang Yunsheng?
Is this a joke, or are you serious?

But since Liu Ying said so, it seems impossible that it's false.

Are all crosstalk performers this good nowadays?
Actually, it's not that the crosstalk performers are amazing, it's that Yang Yunsheng is amazing.

To everyone's astonishment, Liu Ying announced another bombshell: "Furthermore, Yang Yunsheng is my boyfriend, and as his girlfriend, it's natural that I'd invite him to star in my first film!"

Besides Yang Yunlan, even Uncle Da and Wu Jing looked at Yang Yunsheng with disbelief.

Yang Yunsheng is the director's boyfriend, so the "Sheng" in Shengying Film and Television is the "Sheng" in Yang Yunsheng.

Damn, they're showing off their love right here!
At this moment, nearly four million people are watching online.

These news items are so explosive that they are sure to top the trending searches.

That's right, right now, out of the fifty trending topics on Weibo's entertainment section, seventeen are about the movie "The Wandering Earth".

"A sci-fi masterpiece, The Wandering Planet!"

"Liu Ying, China's first female science fiction director!"

"Liu Ying, a genius girl from the Communication University of China!"

"Liu Ying! Yang Yunsheng!"

"Can The Wandering Earth open the door to Chinese science fiction films?"

"Yang Yunsheng must have saved the galaxy in her past life!"

Of course, Yang Yunsheng certainly played a role in all of this.

That's right, he bought trending topics.

Most of the buzz surrounding these trending topics comes from netizens themselves.

Of course, there are also many Western-worshipping sycophants who are pessimistic about this movie, wondering why domestic film companies can produce a sci-fi masterpiece.

Watching domestic sci-fi movies is not as good as watching DC or Marvel.

In this respect, both DC's heroes and Marvel's Avengers have a very strong global influence.

Chinese science fiction films, on the other hand, haven't even gotten started yet.

But these people only doubt, and are unwilling to believe, which is a big problem.

If everyone thinks it's impossible, then should we just give up and not try? Will no one be able to open the door to Chinese science fiction films?

Since someone is going to do it, we should at least believe in it first.

A qualified viewer should wait until the film is made before questioning it before watching the movie.

The creative team behind the movie "The Wandering Earth" were unaware of the differing opinions circulating online.

The reporters at the scene were still in shock when Liu Ying revealed that Yang Yunsheng was her boyfriend.

This explains why Yang Yunsheng and Yang Yunlan were chosen for this film.

One is my boyfriend, and the other is my sister-in-law. Who else would I choose but them?

Moreover, this script was written by Yang Yunsheng.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of script he's written.

Wu Jing turned her head to look at Yang Yunsheng, scrutinizing him intently.

Such a great script, could it be written by this guy? (End of Chapter)
