Chapter 1063 "Sparta" is finished!(1/2)
"It's done!"
Following a cheer from director Zack Snyder, Menjie and others were stunned for a moment, but then they also burst into cheers at the same time.
Compared with ordinary movies, a movie that requires "fantasy" to shoot many places is definitely quite difficult, and Menjie and others are also very tired.
At the beginning, when Menjie had not redeemed the B-level acting skill 'Endless Fantasy', basically ordinary scenes were never NG, but as long as he encountered the kind of plot that required fantasy, he would always
An error occurred.
Usually when situations like this arise, Gerald and one of the few experienced actors will provide personal guidance, and a rather profound friendship is born in the whole process.
Later, after Menjie acquired the powerful skill of "Endless Fantasy", he often took the initiative to help other actors, and gained the love of many people, including Gerald, Zack Snyder, Lina and many other big names.
The actors also praised Menjie's progress, which is really obvious.
The filming process of the movie "300" didn't take very long, but it made everyone develop a deep friendship, and they were also very tired.
Now, the movie "300" has finally been officially completed, and it has indeed moved everyone a lot.
"Everyone, get ready. There will be a press conference soon. After the press conference, the crew will fund a small banquet for everyone to come and celebrate!"
After clapping his hands, a staff member from Warner Bros. said to the crowd. The crowd cheered again.
For most Westerners, banquets are definitely more popular. As for Menjie, although he is not particularly cold about it, he is the boss of an entertainment company, and his company is currently very popular overseas.
I am weak and prefer banquets where I can quickly establish a network of relationships.
Unless a star simply likes singing and acting, there is no one who doesn't like that dazzling life and interesting parties.
Of course, compared to the banquet, what Menjie cares more about is the press conference!
After a while, after packing everything up, Menjie and the main creative staff of the movie "300" arrived at the press conference. As for some of the tools and equipment in the crew, they were sent by Warner Bros.
The staff who came over were responsible for sorting it out.
Looking at the many foreign reporters not far away, Men Jie guessed that it might be because the filming was completed in a hurry. No Chinese reporters came, and he felt a little regretful. There was not much enthusiasm, so he just sat aside with a smile.
If there are Chinese reporters, they may focus most of their attention on themselves. As for foreign reporters...
At this time, Menjie was really not that well-known, so naturally he would not be too active.
"First of all, I want to say that after several months of hard training and several months of hard shooting, our movie "300" has finally been officially completed at this time. For this, I would like to express my gratitude to the crew.
To all the staff and actors involved, thank you!"
Although Zack Snyder has only directed a few movies, he still has the air of a general and speaks very naturally.
Of course, even if it was just to save face for Warner Bros., no one would not applaud after Zack Snyder finished speaking, and the atmosphere at the scene was quite heated.
"Mr. Zack Snyder, I would like to ask why the filming time of the movie "300" was so short? Is it because of the poor quality of the movie?"
After a while, after Zack Snyder finished introducing everything, it was the turn of the on-site reporters to ask questions. The first reporter asked a very sharp question. Fortunately, Zack Snyder did not panic at all and spoke decisively.
"Of course not. In fact, for the filming of the movie "300," all the actors had already received several months of training before the filming officially started. The reason why the shooting time was relatively short was mainly due to the preparation in advance.
For a very sufficient reason!”
"When will the movie "300" be officially released?"
"According to Warner Bros.' preliminary decision, our movie will be officially released in early March next year!"
Early March?!
Listening to Zack Snyder's answer, Menjie on the side couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
I didn't expect that this movie would be released quite early. It would be officially released in about two or three months of post-production.
But in this way, it will also be of great benefit to myself.
In March, I was probably still filming the movie "Lust, Caution". By the time the movie "300" was officially scheduled, the movie "Lust, Caution" would probably have been filmed. At that time, I would definitely be a big hit.
Da Zi also played a certain role in the movie "Lust, Caution".
Definitely a good time!
"I would like to ask Mr. Zack Snyder, as far as Warner Bros. Entertainment is concerned, what do they think of the movie "300"? Will this movie become your company's flagship movie next year?"
"There's no doubt about it!"
When it comes to this issue, Zack Snyder also becomes quite serious.
In fact, it is also to blame that the release time of the movie "300" was not very good, and it missed the best winter schedule. However, if you have to wait for the next good schedule, the time is too long, and in the end you can only choose to watch it in March
It was officially released at the beginning of the month, and the timing was indeed not very good. No wonder the reporters were skeptical.
"To put it bluntly, the movie "300" can definitely be said to be Warner Bros.'s first major movie in 2007. It has been officially agreed that when the movie is released, it will be screened in 3103 additional theaters at the same time.
Movie!”
3103?!
Of course, no one took Zack Snyder's words seriously before and just thought he was bragging about his movie. But when he heard that it was being released in 3103 theaters at the same time, he couldn't help but nod his head.
There are so many theaters. It seems that Warner Bros. really takes this movie seriously.
"Mr. Gerrard, what is the name of the young man sitting on your left? I didn't seem to have seen him at the launch conference of the movie "300". Did he join in later?"
While Menjie was stunned, unexpectedly, a reporter suddenly focused his attention on Menjie.
In fact, it is considered normal. The three people sitting in the center are the director and the male and female protagonists, while Menjie is sitting directly next to the male protagonist, closer to the middle. It is impossible not to attract attention.
"You mean Men Jie? Haha, haven't you noticed? He is the second male lead in the movie, a Chinese that many people have questioned before, Men Jie!"
Seeing that the reporters were all focusing on Men Jie, Gerald laughed and said loudly, but the reporters on the scene were stunned.
As early as the movie launch press conference, it was announced that Menjie, a Chinese native, will play the role of the second male lead in the movie "300". He will even have more roles than the heroine, which made many
Western media are quite skeptical.
Many people even felt that this was a compromise made by director Zack Snyder in pursuit of the Asian market. Many people questioned Menjie and even publicly criticized Menjie.
But they never expected that the young man they questioned would look like this in the movie "300"!
Because the filming had just ended, Menjie and others did not take off their makeup or put on makeup. They just appeared as they did during the filming, which was also a small promotion for the film.
However, Menjie's appearance at this time, after applying makeup, is very similar to that of an ordinary white man, and he also reveals a tough feeling intentionally or unintentionally, which does not remind anyone of the gentle and gentle man from some time ago.
of Chinese youth.
All the reporters were very surprised and involuntarily pointed their cameras at Menjie.
"Mr. Menjie, are you of mixed race?"
"Oh my god, even if a Chinese person wears makeup, there can't be such a big difference, right?"
In an instant, countless reporters turned their attention to Menjie, who had ignored him before.
"I am a pure Chinese, not a mixed race. The reason why I change a lot after putting on makeup...maybe it's because modern makeup techniques are so amazing!"
Shrugging his shoulders, Menjie spoke very relaxedly, and at the same time activated his "funny temperament". This simple sentence made many people laugh, and the originally intense atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed.
The reporters who were very excited because Menjie's identity had just been exposed have returned to normal, but many people also pointed at Menjie and asked questions one after another.
In this regard, Menjie, who has been thinking about how to let more Westerners know him, will definitely try his best to show it.
Because the image had changed so drastically, it left people with an extremely shocking feeling. At this time, the reporters seemed to have forgotten the cynicism towards Menjie some time ago, and they tried their best to explore the news about Menjie.
It is foreseeable that as the second male lead in Warner Bros.'s movie "300", and he does not have the shortcoming that "the image of Asians does not match the Spartan warriors" that everyone had guessed before, Menjie's popularity is just that.
Sooner or later, it is a good thing to collect some information in advance.
Of course, if he is an ordinary newcomer, even if many reporters focus on him, he may not be able to perform very well. If he tells his story, there will be nothing to say, even if it is broadcast.
If it is released, it may not be able to attract the attention of the audience.
But Menjie is different. There are so many stories that can be told about Menjie!
Including being valued by director Zack Snyder because he looks like a warrior, including his strong body that does not require exercise at all, including his fighting performance that is recognized by world-famous action directors as being stronger than him,
There is also the myth that ordinary plots never go NG among the crew...
Just among the crew of the movie "300", there are many, many stories. It may be because of liking Menjie. In order to help Menjie open the market in the West as soon as possible, in addition to Menjie himself bragging about it,
In addition, the director Zack Snyder, the actor Gerald, the heroine Lina and others were all praising Menjie.
Such a scene shocked the surrounding reporters.
There are many cases where members of a crew pretend to have a good relationship with each other, but at this time, the director, the male and female protagonists of the crew couldn't stop praising Menjie, and the reporter didn't even ask them about Menjie.
Several of them were also directing problems at Menjie, which was a bit abnormal.
Obviously, they all really want to help Menjie!
What exactly does this man rely on to make so many famous figures in Hollywood prefer him so much? Is it because he is handsome?
Well, don't mention it, this young man named Menjie is indeed very handsome in appearance. For an Asian man to be recognized as handsome by many Westerners, he must have reached a certain level of handsomeness.
Such a man may have many fans in Asia, right?
Then, reporters who were puzzled in their hearts also intentionally or unintentionally asked some news about Menjie outside of the movie "300".
When asked this question, Menjie was still not deterred and briefly revealed his story.
Including the news that a few years ago he was just a minor player, and that he had become the "King" in the Chinese music scene.
