Chapter 505 Launch Conference, Questioning

Zhou Xia and Xiaoshuang personally explained on Weibo, and most fans quickly accepted their explanation.

But some people still don't believe it, after all, Xiaoshuang said that she published the diary.

Among them, Sisi, Xiaoai, Yaya, Tangtang and others were all worried that this matter would not be easy to handle, but they were relieved to see that it had calmed down so quickly.

If something happened to Zhou Xia, it would be a big event that would affect them all.

Zhou Xia dealt with this matter well, coupled with Yang Tianzhen's announcement of the cast of the new movie, and the news of the film's start, the things on the Internet finally slowly dissipated.

He arranged the filming, and before joining the group, he went to meet with a few people in private and exchanged his heart-to-heart with them. In the blink of an eye, it was April 4, and the movie launch conference was grandly held at the Metropolitan Exhibition Center.

At nine o'clock in the morning that day, Zhou Xia, Xiao Ai, Xiao Ying, Dou Xiao played by Murong Ziying, Liu Yufei, Lao Hu, Yang Xiaohu and others were all interviewed by the media in the dojo.

"Hello, Director Zhou. I'm a reporter from the Beijing News. May I ask how much is the investment of "Legend of Sword and Sword 4"? Which company did the special effects of this movie? Hero world?"

A female reporter stood up with a microphone, looked at Zhou Xia and the other main creators sitting on the interview platform, and asked a serious question.

"In terms of investment, I didn't want to talk about this at first, so as to avoid all kinds of exaggerations or other things. Since everyone cares about the film, I will briefly talk about the article.

The initial budget of the film was [-] million. Since the upper and lower parts were filmed together, the appropriation of each film is about [-] million. However, if the post-production costs are not enough, we will continue to invest. Don’t worry, everyone, the post-production special effects of this film will be provided by our company’s special effects. The department is only responsible for making some simple models, and the rest will be handed over to ILM, that is, Industrial Light and Magic, which produces "Star Wars" and other movies. They will follow our requirements and create a fairy world that satisfies everyone. "

Zhou Xia explained seriously, this is what many people in the industry are currently worried about.

With an investment of [-] million for the two films, wouldn't each film be similar to the investment in "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate"?Where can the special effects be better?
All the reporters in the audience knew this knowledge very well, and when they heard Zhou Xia's statement, they all became skeptical.

A male reporter wearing glasses immediately asked: "Director, when will "Painted Skin 2" be released? This movie was also shot by you, and the final investment is close to [-] million. Are the special effects of the two movies similar?"

The male reporter asked insincerely, quite skillfully, just trying to test Zhou Xia.

"Hehe." Zhou Xia glanced at this scheming male reporter: "If "Painted Skin 2" is released, it should be during the summer vacation, and the special effects of the two films are of course different.

The special effects of "Painted Skin 2" are much shorter than those of "Legend of Sword and Sword 4", so the film is still being filmed, and it is not easy to calculate the time, and the budget is only an approximate cost. I know what you mean, the investment of the two films is similar, you I thought they could be compared, but they were actually very different.

The protagonists I used in "Legend of Sword and Sword 4" are all newcomers, and many friends come to help out, and they are all at friendship prices, so the total remuneration of the actors is very low, less than one-tenth of the investment. More investment in online marketing is unmatched by "Painted Skin 2"! "

Hearing what Zhou Xia said, many media reporters who were looking forward to the movie breathed a sigh of relief.

They don't want to see a shoddy movie that relies on hyping up the theme of Xianxia to deceive people.

"Director Zhou, you invited the protagonists of the first few fairy sword movies to be guest stars. I don't know what kind of consideration is behind it? Some time ago, the media photographed Miss Liu Yufei crying outside your car in front of the coffee shop. , can you explain what happened?"

A female reporter with a microphone with the Sohu Entertainment logo in her hand looked at Zhou Xia and Liu Yufei and immediately asked loudly.

Zhou Xia glanced at Liu Yufei and saw that she didn't intend to answer, so she could only say, "My reporter friend, did you see it with your own eyes? Why don't I remember that Miss Liu Yufei cried outside my car window? Talking about scripts and roles, she just thought of something and asked me!"

"But there are photos on the Internet. Ms. Liu Yufei's eyes are red and she is agitated. It seems that she is about to cry." The female reporter still did not back down and continued to ask.

"Hehe, this is purely your own speculation. Then let me ask Ms. Liu Yufei whether she was crying at that time or not?"

Zhou Xia shrugged angrily, and looked at Liu Yufei.

"My friend from the reporter, you must have misunderstood. I was talking to the director about the role and the script. I was touched, depressed, and a little sad, but I really didn't cry. I hope that the reporters and friends will pay attention to things related to the movie and don't hype it up. Unnecessary things!"

Liu Yufei held the microphone in front of her and said very coldly.

Because of this question, Zhou Xia didn't even bother to answer the reporter's earlier question of why the other protagonists of Xianjian were invited to participate.

"Hello, Director Zhou, I'm a reporter from Transcript Entertainment. May I ask what are your expectations for the box office of this movie? Can it surpass your first two movies?"

"Hehe, this question is always indispensable."

Zhou Xia couldn't help laughing, and looked at the reporter: "Everyone knows my consistent attitude, which is to make a good movie and get everyone's approval and love. As for the box office, under this premise, of course, the higher the better. , I hope everyone will go to the cinema to join in the show!"

Zhou Xia has to answer this question every time before making a movie. He is used to it, and this is also his consistent open attitude.

As for how much he really estimated in his heart, as long as it can exceed the previous movie, then he will be satisfied.

Hearing Zhou Xia's most official answer, many reporters who had already expected such an answer laughed out loud.

"Hi Xiaoai, I'm a reporter from Chutian Entertainment. I want to ask how you got the director's approval and became the heroine of this movie?"

Xiao Ai, who was very relaxed and listening to Zhou Xia's bureaucratic talk with the media, couldn't help getting nervous when she heard this question.

She is wearing a red one-shoulder dress today, and she looks very delicate and beautiful.

Seeing that she was a little stunned, Zhou Xia quickly smiled and said, "Let me answer for her. The most important thing is that she is more suitable for this role. When I prepared this play last year, I chose her and let her keep doing the corresponding work." The training and role preparation, so she has been preparing for this role for a long time, everyone can rest assured."

The surrounding media took pictures quickly, recording the situation just now.

Another reporter quickly asked a question: "Hello, Zhao Xiaoying, I am your fan. I have watched "Gong 2" and "Legend of Lu Zhen" that you starred in before, and I like them very much. I also like "Gong 1" and "Why Shengxiaomo".

May I ask what are your expectations for getting the role of Liu Mengli this time and starring in your first big-screen movie? How did you stand out from so many competitors and get this role? "
