"Director Wei, I know some of the people involved are here at the premiere today. Can we interview them?"

"of course."

Director Wei and the main creators took the initiative to step back, leaving the stage to the soldiers who had personally experienced the South China Sea confrontation.

All the characters in this movie have prototypes, so it is not difficult to find people who have experienced it firsthand.

Shen Teng did not stand up. For a big shot of his level, it was already a great honor for him to appear at the premiere of "The World of Contender" and support Director Wei.

If you appear in public, the influence will be different.

That's not appropriate either.

So the person sent by the military to be interviewed this time was none other than Mr. Dai, a member of the think tank described in the movie.

Teacher Dai also spoke frankly in Zhou Tao's interview.

"What Director Wei filmed was all true, I experienced it myself.

As Director Wei said, the South China Sea standoff in July this year was the most dangerous military action in the world since the Cold War.

If there is even the slightest mistake, the consequences will be disastrous."

When they heard Teacher Dai say this, many people broke out in cold sweats.

They were just watching a movie, and although they were excited, it was a movie after all, so they were not too scared.

But when a think tank leader like Professor Dai personally comes forward to speak out, the situation is different.

They really developed a fear.

It turns out I was so close to the war.

Zhou Tao continued to ask, "Teacher Dai, was it possible that a fight really broke out at that time?

Teacher Dai nodded and said, "It is very likely that everything Director Wei filmed in the movie is true.

Harris, the US military's chief of staff, really wanted to fight, and according to our uncertain information, at the most tense moment of the standoff, Harris gave the order to start the war.

what?

Zhou Tao was also shocked.

She really didn't know this.

The whole audience exclaimed in surprise.

Teacher Dai smiled and said, "First of all, let me state that this news may not be true.

But there is a theory that Harris issued the order to start the war, but Harris did not produce authorization from the US Department of Defense and the White House, so he proactively consulted the White House and stopped a potential war at the critical moment.

Director Wei has also heard this statement.

But it has not been confirmed to be true.

Of course, there is no falsification.

Anyway, Harris, as a general of the US military, was later sent to Korea as the US ambassador to Korea shortly after the end of the South China Sea standoff.

From an admiral of the US military, commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet to the US ambassador to Korea, think about the huge gap.

All the audience, including Zhou Tao, were shocked.

Zhou Tao sighed, “If this is true, it is indeed too dangerous.

If a war really breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Yeah, actually we don't want to start a war."

Teacher Dai said, "Neither of us can bear this consequence."

Zhou Tao then asked a question that has been of great interest to the guests and the audience since the movie was released: "Teacher Dai, if we were to go to war, would we be able to win?"

Teacher Dai smiled and explained, "If we go to war, our chances of winning are slim. We have to acknowledge this objective fact.

But if it’s just a local war like the one shown in the movies, and the conflict happens in the South China Sea, then we have a great chance of winning.

The United States is certainly strong, but China cannot be defeated by two aircraft carriers, especially on our doorstep.

In fact, there is one thing that the movie did not show. The reason why the United States withdrew was not only because they did not want to go to war, but there was another very important reason.

We have detected the position of their aircraft carrier, and if we open fire, we have a chance to destroy their aircraft carrier immediately, so they have to retreat."

Zhou Tao was obviously not a military enthusiast, so she was shocked to hear Teacher Dai say this.

"We can destroy their aircraft carriers at any time, then..."

Teacher Dai knew what Zhou Tao wanted to ask, and knew that others must be curious about this as well, so he said directly: "Being able to destroy them and wanting to destroy them are two different concepts.

Because we definitely won't fire the first shot, so before we destroy them, their first shot has already been fired.

If a war breaks out in the South China Sea, we will be the losers in the end, regardless of victory or defeat, because it is a war on our territory.

Of course, some people will say that since we're already at war, a few deaths won't matter. Actually, this view is completely idiotic."

Teacher Dai's tone became serious: "Everyone who says this assumes that they will not be the one to die, but when the war starts, anyone can become the victim.

For our country, any casualties are worth caring about, so even if we can win, we don’t want our people to die in this war.

Peace is hard-won. We manufacture nuclear weapons and continue to work hard to develop cutting-edge weapons to protect the safety of our people, not to actually fight wars.

The audience applauded again.

Leaving aside extremists and brainless people, anyone with normal IQ understands that peace is of course best for the country.

At least at this stage.

The interview with Teacher Dai answered many questions in the audience's minds.

It also proves the authenticity of "The Age of Great Contention".

So when Teacher Dai stepped down from the stage, the audience burst into applause again.

At the same time, it also deepened my identification with the movie "The Great Contest".

It is no exaggeration to say that many people have an idea in their minds: we are witnessing history!

Zhou Tao interviewed the creators of "The World of Great Controversy" and they said the same thing.

Li Youbin: "I didn't perform. I just presented what I saw to everyone."

Chen Baoguo: "You may not believe it, but we made this movie on a government-funded tour and visited many of the most advanced weapons for free."

Liao Fan: "Thank you Director Wei for letting me see the real world.

I used to only care about the entertainment industry, but now I realize that the reason I care about the entertainment industry is because there are many people who are silently protecting me."

Director Wei gave Liao Fan a thumbs up.

This speech is very insightful.

The one who is more aware is Zhang Hanyu.

Zhang Hanyu: "Director Wei's films are very restrained, not preachy at all and even have a documentary style.

But after I finished filming "The Age of Controversy", I still developed a sincere respect for soldiers.

In the past, many things were just slogans. Only after experiencing it personally did you realize that they were actually true.

The world is not peaceful, but we live in a peaceful country.

Hu Jun: "During filming, we gave Director Wei some feedback. Many of us felt that Director Wei showed too little emotion in this film. There were no emotional moments or memorable lines.

But Director Wei insisted on seeking truth from facts. He said that true patriotism does not require education, it only requires the audience to see what is really happening. So Director Wei used a documentary rather than commercial approach to shoot "The Age of Great Contention".

But I still want to say, just like what Lao Liao said, some of these words may sound tired, but they are all true.

There has never been a peaceful time, it’s just that someone is carrying the burden for us.

Director Wei concluded his speech by elevating the theme: "If 'The Great Contender' succeeds, it will not be my credit or the actors' credit, but the glory of all soldiers.

We made this movie not for the box office, but just to let everyone know that it is not without cost that we can easily walk into the cinema to watch a movie.

But someone paid these prices for us.

"Also, I'd like to thank the three major fleets, the Rocket Force, and all the units that provided us with assistance during the filming of "The Great Contest." The production budget for "The Great Contest" was very low because we used practical footage for the large-scale weapon scenes, which were originally the most expensive, saving the crew a lot of production costs.

"The military and the people are as close as fish and water, like one family, but many people may have lost this feeling over the years.

We hope that through the movie "The Great Controversy", the audience will once again know who the most lovable people are.

We also hope that through this film, everyone will be aware of the tension in the international situation.

“In fact, the situation is turbulent, and now it is indeed an era of great contention.

In the future, the competition between us and the United States will only become increasingly fierce, and the confrontation will gradually escalate. This confrontation will gradually affect each and every one of us from point to surface, and we should all be prepared.

"Gentlemen, the war may have already begun, even if it may not be military."

Director Wei's words sounded a bit alarmist.

But in fact, this is also the judgment of high-level think tanks.

Even ordinary people who are a little smarter can realize this.

After all, since ancient times, the world's number one and number two have not been able to coexist peacefully.

It has nothing to do with who the other person is.

And "The Age of Great Contention" will undoubtedly make the world realize this.

Moreover, there will be no fear of confrontation with the United States. The premiere of "The Great Controversy" was a great success.

This type of movie often has the greatest impact on the audience.

Most of the people present were professionals, and even from a business perspective, they could see the box office potential behind "The Age of Conquest".

It's an ordinary commercial movie. Audiences go to the cinema to watch some fighting and then have fun. That's it.

But a movie like "The Great Controversy" will definitely attract you to watch it a second or even a third time.

In addition, one thing that cannot be denied is that since the higher-ups allowed Director Wei to shoot "The Age of Great Controversy" and provided a lot of support during the filming process, the subsequent support will certainly be strong.

With Director Wei's own box office appeal, the quality of the film and the support from above, there is no reason why "The Age of Contenders" will not be a hit.

Therefore, for the professionals present, after watching "The Age of Great Controversy", many of them could only smile bitterly after the excitement.

Yang Yang patted Wu Jing's shoulder sympathetically.

"Brother Jing, fortunately our post-production has not been completed due to technical reasons."

Wu Jing: "Yes, our post-production is not finished yet."

He gave in.

Can't fight.

Although Wu Jing still believes that his "Wolf Warrior 2" is more mature in terms of business model and more exciting from the perspective of plot, "The Great Contest" is more like a documentary with restrained excitement.

But still can't fight.

If you really compare them together, you might even be hit by a dimensionality reduction attack.

Because the difference in director and actors can be made up by the plot and the excitement.

However, the level of the villain boss that can most stir the audience's emotions cannot be compensated by anything.

Mercenaries, small African country armies and other villain bosses, and American aircraft carriers.

How does this compare?

For the increasingly confident Chinese, everyone except the United States is garbage in a military confrontation.

The Russian bear also has the ability to fight, but the Russian bear and our country have always been allies in fighting against the Eagle Sauce, and it is unlikely that they will suddenly turn against each other.

Therefore, the only opponent that can make me excited and nervous is the Eagle.

Isn't it normal that others... beat them?

If there is no comparison, a military movie about fighting mercenaries and the armies of other small countries will also have a similar box office performance. After all, it also promotes national confidence and the audience will like to watch it.

But if we can beat the United States, it will be hard to get the audience excited if you let us beat those small bosses.

Especially in the case of PK at the same time, "The Great Conquest" can definitely suppress all other military-themed movies.

This kind of suppression comes from the conception of the film.

It cannot be compensated by later efforts.
