The launch conference site.
After a while of discussion, the crowd fell completely silent when they saw Lu Hao walk back to the center of the stage.
Facing the gazes of so many people at the scene, Lu Hao took a deep breath with a faint smile on his face.
"Actually, the next step should be the Q&A session for the press conference. However, let's step back for a moment. There's something more important to consider."
"You all probably know that renting this venue is very expensive, two million a night, so I'd like to ask everyone to do me a small favor."
Huh?
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment.
What's going on?
Are you the one who is short of those two million?
How can we help?
However, since Lu Hao said so, he must have a reason for saying so. The fans' chaotic voices were heard, and they all expressed their agreement and asked what was going on.
"In the film, there's a group scene similar to this one, and I need a wide-angle lens."
"In front of the camera, just don't do anything. You're all just extras anyway, just be a background. Including my fellow journalists."
Lu Hao teased with a smile.
Audience: ???
Pooh!
Is this human language?
The crowd started to cheer and laugh, but they were also very surprised.
Lu Hao's clever ideas and clever moves are really endless, giving people a really refreshing feeling.
Not as sexy as this.
Not as sexy as this.
It’s really awesome that they can use the launch conference as a shooting location.
Apart from anything else, this gimmick alone is enough to amaze many people once it is spread.
"Camera, ready!"
After explaining the specific matters, Lu Hao didn't say much and just called for the camera.
All of this had been prepared long before the launch conference. A total of five high-altitude long-range camera positions were set up to record all the scenes clearly.
The camera swept across the scene.
The plot of this section is that the protagonist of the film, "Lu Hao", the boss of an entertainment company worth tens of billions, suddenly received a call while holding a new film press conference.
Right now.
In full view of the public.
A staff member quickly rushed forward and put makeup on Lu Hao. His hair was very messy, his beard was untidy, and he looked very bad.
After all, in the movie, he is portrayed as a boss who is extremely dedicated and has to force himself to work even though the love of his life may die at any time.
This picture...
It was a novelty for all the audience present.
Although many people are movie fans and loyal fans of Lu Hao and have seen the movies he starred in, they have never seen him perform in person.
The scene now is like a large reality show.
soon.
In less than five minutes, Lu Hao finished his makeup.
He was dressed in a suit, but his hair was unkempt, his beard was unshaved, and his tie was untied. His complexion looked very bad, and he had dark circles under his eyes. He looked quite depressed, as if he was trying hard to hold on, standing there with his hands in his trouser pockets.
This stop.
That subtle "aura" inexplicably appears in everyone's mind.
He is a successful director.
He has a lot on his mind.
Oh, his wife is dying.
Lu Hao added a lot of small details here.
The camera swept across his leather shoes.
Sharp-eyed viewers will notice that one sock on his foot is white and the other is black.
The camera focused on his face.
Although he was looking at the audience, his eyes were dull and he would take out his cell phone from time to time to check if there were any messages.
The sense of hope in anticipation of information and the sense of loss in not receiving it seem particularly real.
Then……
Suddenly.
Lu Hao's phone rang.
When he received the call, shock appeared in his eyes, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he shouted something angrily into the phone.
However, as he continued to listen to the content on the phone, his mouth suddenly closed, and a hint of ecstasy appeared on his face. He looked moody, strong and exaggerated.
Immediately.
He paced back and forth restlessly on the stage, occasionally saying something into the phone.
Suddenly, his steps stopped.
He looked up at the ceiling, was silent for more than ten seconds, then suddenly lowered his head, said something, hung up the phone angrily, and then sat down on the floor.
Staring blankly at the audience.
The audience also stared at him blankly.
"The meeting is adjourned!"
"Go away, all of you! We can't make the movie anymore!"
Like an extremely unstable madman, Lu Hao yelled at the audience, then got up from the floor and left the press conference directly surrounded by staff.
…
That's it.
This seamless performance has come to an end.
“Crack!”
Lu Hao shouted, and the smile returned to his face.
But the audience was still confused.
Silence.
This performance really makes people feel like they are watching a pantomime.
Probably because it required post-dubbing, Lu Hao did not say any lines except for the last two sentences throughout the whole process. He just lip-synced, making it impossible to guess what he heard or said on the phone in the film.
However, the change of emotions, facial expressions, and rich body language brought everyone into that scene.
Terrifying acting skills.
"No, hey, wake up, it's time to applaud."
Holding the microphone, Lu Hao couldn't help but said something with a smile.
He had imagined the performance just now countless times in his mind, so it was naturally not difficult for him to perform it.
After all, the director’s job is to turn the images in his mind into real images and show them to the audience.
A moment later.
The applause was thunderous.
The atmosphere at the press conference had completely reached its climax.
"Thank you for your cooperation. When the press conference is over, remember to get a lunch box with chicken drumsticks for everyone when you go back."
Lu Hao continued to joke.
After shooting this shot, he felt more and more at ease with the filming of the movie, and had a sense of control over it, as if "laughter, anger, and scolding can all be turned into articles."
The anticipation of all the audience present was also completely explosive.
If before the press conference, fans and audiences' expectations for this movie were 60 points, then now it has risen to full marks!
Awesome!
Director Lu is really awesome!
Many reporters were now completely excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
This kind of new film launch conference has set a precedent not only in China but also in the world.
Although the effect of the press conference seems to have nothing to do with the quality of the film, for "The Swordsman", this is enough to become a behind-the-scenes story worthy of in-depth reporting.
