When Zhang Ran was about to go out, he remembered a problem. He forgot to say yesterday that today's opening ceremony was held in front of the earthquake monument. At that time, there will be a ceremony to present flower baskets to the earthquake victims and observe silently. You should not wear too brightly on this occasion, you should wear black or plain colors.

Wang Luodan and the others should understand this. After all, they have experienced life in Tangshan for several months and should have this understanding. What Zhang Ran is worried about is that the students in his class, especially Yang Mi, are whining all day long. If they appear in such a serious occasion, they will be embarrassing.

However, when Zhang Ran knocked on the girl's dormitory and saw Yang Mi in front of her, she was slightly stunned. Yang Mi was actually wearing a black T-shirt. When she looked at the other girls, Yuan Shanshan, Lin Xiaolu and Jiao Junyan, they were also black T-shirts. Zhang Ran laughed. Although these children usually make noises, they are still very sensible.

Seeing Zhang Ran smile, Yang Mi pretended to be vigilant and said, "Xiao Ranran, why are you smiling so lewdly? Tell you, don't make any decisions about me!"

Zhang Ran slapped Yang Mi on the head: "I'll hit you, a big-headed ghost!"

After leaving the girl's room, Zhang Ran knocked on the boys' room in the class again, and the boys were all dressed in black. Next, Zhang Ran came to Song Zhu'er's room again and found that her mother had also changed into a black dress for her. It seemed that everyone was paying attention to this issue.

When he arrived at the ruins park, Zhang Ran found that the media reporters present were no exception. They were basically wearing plain colors, and there were no brightly colored clothes in the entire ruins park.

Under the gloomy sky, the earthquake-resistant monument square was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere. There was no music or poster at the scene, and only the plaque "Tangshan Earthquake Starting Ceremony" with black background and white characters, showing people the uniqueness of today.

When the host of the movie channel, Jin Wei, announced that the opening ceremony had officially begun, all the crew first presented flower baskets to the earthquake-resistant monument and observed three minutes of silence to the 240,000 compatriots who died in the earthquake.

Next, Tangshan Mayor Chen Guoying delivered a speech, and then Han Shanping said on the spot that he believed that under the leadership of director Zhang Ran, the filming of "Tangshan Earthquake" will be successful.

When Zhang Ran spoke, he did not say much, but simply said: "We will fulfill our mission and do our best to shoot the movies, and historically reproduce the great Tangshan earthquake-resistant spirit forged by the heroic Tangshan people of that year!"

In the afternoon, Zhang Ran led the creators to attend the first press conference after the launch of "Tangshan Earthquake". In the morning's opening ceremony, Zhang Ran and the others did not accept an interview, so the media reporters were ready to prepare various questions and were waiting to ask questions to the creators of the crew.

"The Great Tangshan Earthquake" itself is a topic that is of concern to the whole country, and it is directed by Zhang Ran himself. In terms of attention, it is definitely a punch to Feng Xiaogang and kicking Zhang Yimou. The entire press conference made relevant reporters in China feel ready to move.

The hall for this press conference was large, larger than the hall where Zhang Ran thought he would hold the press conference. Even so, the entire scene was still full of crowds, which shows everyone's attention to this movie.

The press conference was still hosted by Jin Wei. After the speech of the Tangshan Municipal Propaganda Minister, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu and other creators were invited to the stage. As the director, Zhang Ran naturally sat in the middle, with Zhang Jingchu on the left and Wang Luodan on the right. Other actors lined up according to the importance of the role.

Zhang Ran briefly introduced the relationship between the characters in the play. Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu play a couple, but after the earthquake, the role played by Zhang Ran died; they have a pair of children, the daughter is played by Song Zhuer, and the son is played by a young actor in Tangshan. They have fewer scenes, but it is very important; Ji Chen and Wang Luodan play Zhang Ran's younger brother and sister, Cao Bingkun plays Wang Luodan's husband; Hu Jun plays the driver of the car where Zhang Jingchu goes home.

After the actors had introduced themselves, Jin Wei asked Zhang Ran a question: "Director Zhang, I heard that in order to make this movie, I specially imported a set of the most advanced seismic instruments from Germany. Can you introduce this set of equipment to us?"

Zhang Ran knew that Jin Wei threw this question to himself and wanted to introduce the special effects of the movie, which was one of the biggest highlights of the movie. He smiled at Jin Wei and said, "First of all, I want to explain that although the special effects of this movie are participated by many foreign teams, the one that really plays a leading role is our own team in China. This movie is different from "Space-Time Warrior". The special effects of "Space-Time Warrior" is the Australian team. At that time, our technology was too far from others, so we could only help others. After years of accumulation, we are now able to do such a big project by ourselves. The vibration platform you are talking about is actually designed by ourselves, but the materials are imported. Then, Tang Gang's master helped with welding and assembly.

The function of this vibration platform is like this. In the past, when shooting earthquake dramas, they basically rely on the performance of actors to express the shaking feeling, but the effect is not very real; and the biggest pursuit of our movie is reality, so the special effects team designed the vibration platform. A few days ago, the actors in the crew tried it."

Zhang Ran pointed to Hu Jun and said, "Hun Hu Jun went to try it. When he stood on the vibration platform, he started it and was knocked to the ground after a few strokes. He couldn't stand up. The whole effect was very close to the state of a real earthquake. The movie "Tangshan Earthquake" was very difficult to shoot, and the most difficult part was the special effects. The difficulty of this special effects was that it had to simulate a real earthquake, which was particularly difficult. In fact, the sky and the earth in Hollywood blockbusters collapsed, and a building collapsed. That kind of thing was not that difficult. I can say that this movie is the highest level that the Chinese film industry can achieve at present. It may change the Chinese people's understanding of Chinese movies. Perhaps it can change the world's understanding of Chinese movies!"

Soon, the reporters entered the stage of interviews that were popular with reporters, and the reporters became enthusiastic and rushed to ask questions.

Zhang Jingchu is the leading female lead in the movie. A reporter first asked her: "Jingchu, we all know that you are not married, let alone children. But this time you have to play the role of the mother of two children in the play. Does it feel like a challenge?"

Zhang Jingchu seemed quite confident: "This role is not a challenge for me, but it allows me to explain my mother's reason. You may not understand me, but in fact I am a very maternal person."

While talking, Zhang Jingchu stretched out her hand under the table; Zhang Ran smiled and shook her hand.

A reporter immediately threw the problem to Zhang Ran: "Director Zhang, when the movie started at the beginning of the year, you said that the movie would start at the end of July. Why did you refuse to do it until September?"

Zhang Ran explained: "In early July, we got a new 4k camera and shot it with a 4k camera. Then this movie will be the world's first 4k movie. Maybe you don't understand what 4k is. Let me give you a simple example, which is equivalent to the difference between vcd and DVD images. The picture clarity is very different. Using this camera, many previous solutions were not available, so it was postponed for more than a month. But I think it is worth it. Our movie invested 300 million yuan, and it is almost impossible to recover the cost in China. Overseas performance is very important. However, foreign language films are difficult to sell overseas. Overseas people know that there are not many earthquakes in the Tangshan. If the movie is released overseas, you must have a promotion point. The world's first 4k movie is a good promotion point."

A reporter asked: "You just said that there are many special effects on the movie, which is difficult to do. You also said that "The Great Tangshan Earthquake" is a new height of China's film industry. So is this movie a Hollywood-style disaster film?"

Zhang Ran felt that the reporter's understanding was wrong and corrected: "We definitely can't shoot like Hollywood disaster films. If it were made in Hollywood, the movie would probably be like this. The male protagonist is a researcher from the National Earthquake Administration, responsible for earthquake research. He has a happy family, a beautiful wife, and a pair of lovely children. Half a year ago during the earthquake, the male protagonist determined through observation that there would be a major earthquake of magnitude 7 or above in the end of July in Tangshan. The male protagonist realized that this matter was very dangerous, so he made a detailed analysis and reported to his superiors.

However, due to the earthquake forecast before, many riots were caused, the supervisor called back the male protagonist's report and asked the male protagonist not to study it anymore. However, the male protagonist did not listen and reported the matter higher than the level. This angered the supervisor. Not only did he stop the male protagonist's position, but he also transferred him to another place.

On the eve of the earthquake, various earthquake data showed that the earthquake was coming soon, and the hero could not sit still. He borrowed a car and prepared to go back to the city to find his wife and children. But as soon as he entered the city, the earthquake occurred. The earth shook and the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. The hero frantically avoided the collapse of the building and the cracks on the ground, and was full of dangers along the way. In the end, the hero relied on his extraordinary skills to escape waves of dangers and rushed home.

However, the most terrifying thing happened. His home had collapsed and turned into a ruin. The male protagonist was almost collapsed and beat the ground in pain. At this moment, the screams of his son came from the ground. It turned out that his wife and children hid in the corner when the earthquake occurred with the earthquake knowledge taught by the male protagonist. They were not dead. The male protagonist was excited and began to dig hard. After the rescue team found out, they also came to help. Everyone dug and save people. After the hard excavation, the male protagonist's wife and two children were rescued, and the whole scene was applause and cheers. Hollywood probably just shot, but if "The Tangshan Earthquake" was filmed like this, would you accept it?"

The reporters present were stunned when they heard this. If they really wanted to film in Hollywood, it would be like this, but is this still an extremely tragic Tangshan earthquake?

Zhang Ran smiled and then said seriously: "Hollywood disaster films are not too difficult for me, but if "Tangshan Earthquake" is made like that, don't say that the audience can't forgive me, even I can't forgive myself. A few months ago, when I arrived in Tangshan, I asked some old people who had experienced major earthquakes and asked them how they thought the movie should be made. Almost everyone has only one requirement, truth, that is, truth. An old man told me that what he told was true is not that the story in it told all their experiences. As long as one can grasp a person and a thing well and conform to reality, it is enough. Therefore, the biggest pursuit of our movie is truth."

Although Zhang Ran had already made the matter very clear, the title given by the media the next day was still exaggerated, "Zhang Ran: "The Great Tangshan Earthquake" is more real than a Hollywood blockbuster", and "Zhang Ran criticized the false Hollywood special effects."

Looking at the reports in his hand, Zhang Ran was speechless. When did I criticize Hollywood for this group of unconventional media? He stuffed the newspaper into the trash can, then raised his voice and said, "Stop, let me tell you something. Today, our drama has officially started filming. There are a lot of extras in our drama. They are basically from Tangshan. Many of them have experienced family members' deaths or surviving in the earthquake. It is our luck that they can participate in this movie. So, if a shot passes, everyone must applaud and never pity the applause!"
