The reporter accused with a grievance: "We are here to attend this press conference, but the security guard told us that fans must be allowed to enter first. After the fans entered the venue, the security guard told us that those who did not have an invitation letter for the event could not enter. In fact, the organizing committee sent us a unified interview certificate. Except for major events such as the opening and closing ceremonies, the interview certificate was valid in other activities. As a result, the security guard did not allow us to enter, and his attitude was particularly bad. He locked us outside for nearly two hours before he put it in."

He just finished speaking, and other reporters complained to Zhang Ran that the number of movie fans was hard to come by, but there was no one in the screening time and space. The schedule on the official website was very different from the schedule of major theaters. The subtitles were poorly translated, so the reporters were not allowed to drink water and go to the toilet, etc. The press conference suddenly became a tutoring conference.

In fact, even old film festivals like Cannes and Venice often have mistakes, not to mention that the Peking Film Festival is only the first this year and has no experience at all. But Zhang Ran listened very seriously, which is also a reminder to him that when the Fantasy Film Festival opens next year, these problems should be avoided as much as possible.

After listening to the accusation of the reporters, Zhang Ran stood up and said, "This is because we have not done our job well, which has made everyone feel wronged. On behalf of the organizing committee, I apologize to everyone!" As he said, Zhang Ran bowed to the reporters in the audience and said, "After the press conference is over, I will react to the organizing committee. The Peking Film Festival is the first this year. The organizing committee has no experience. There must be many things that have not been done well. Please bear with me!"

The reporters present did not expect that Zhang Ran would bow and apologize and were very moved, and immediately received warm applause. Everyone knew that Zhang Ran was nominally the vice chairman of the organizing committee, but in fact he was just a name and basically didn't care about the matter. The reason for reporting the situation to him was that everyone could not find the person in charge, so they confide in him. Unexpectedly, he took the responsibility down, and everyone admired him sincerely.

After the applause stopped, Zhang Ran smiled and said, "The most important thing to come to the film festival is to watch movies and talk about movies. Today I invite you to come here to talk about the movie "The Apocalypse of the Future". Let's first watch a video."

The whole audience quieted down and the big screen lit up.

On the big screen, a group of people wearing black coats and black masks walked by with steel pipes. They all had a uniform badge on their chests, with a robot on top, with a blood-red x-printed one. Following them were several large trucks, dragging a group of robots with sparks.

There were many supporters on both sides of the street shouting slogans enthusiastically: "We want to work, we want to eat!", "Kill all the robots! Ai goes to hell!", "Long live the anti-Ai alliance!"

The man in black drove the car to the center of the square, piled up the robots together, drizzled gasoline, and lit it with a lighter. In the blazing flames, some robots that were not dead were heart-wrenching. Passers-by were cheering and laughing, and the atmosphere was as warm as if they were holding a bonfire party.

The camera switched to the restaurant, and Matt Damon and his good friend were ordering food in the restaurant. The waiter was a beautiful girl with a fascinating smile. But at this moment, a steel pipe hit the waiter's head, knocking her to the ground. A large piece of her scalp was smashed off, revealing the metal inside.

Several men in black surrounded him and held up steel pipes and smashed the female robot wildly.

The female robot let out a heart-wrenching scream: "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

Matt Damon and his friends couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so they kicked the man in black to the ground after a few kicks. When they looked at the female robot, her hands and feet had been broken, and her neck had been broken, revealing the metal skeleton and wires, and an electric spark was emitted. She asked Matt Damon in a crying voice: "Why? Why?"

The reporters at the scene were stunned. The scene was so cold that it made people chill all over and their scalp numb, which was chilling. The madness of the anti-machine Ai Alliance and the public's enthusiasm seemed to put them in Germany during World War II.

After switching the camera, Zhang Ran appeared in the picture and began to explain his views on the movie: "I am a science fiction fan. I have seen many movies about humans and robots in the future. I often wonder what kind of relationship will be between robots in the future? Will robots become a new life? Will there be wars between humans and robots? If a war occurs, then how did this war begin and how did the war fight..."

In the process of explaining his creative philosophy, Zhang Ran briefly introduced the characters of Matt Damon, Robert De Niro, and Scarlett Johnson. At the same time, he also inserted a large number of movie shots, including many war shots. These war shots were extremely tragic, and they could be said to be blood flowing all over the ground and their limbs were flying randomly. One of them was Matt Damon dragging his injured friend in the rain of bullets and wanted to find a hidden place to treat him, but a bomb exploded behind him. When he looked back, his friend only had his lower body and internal organs flowed all over the ground.

A few months ago, "The Apocalypse of the Future" released a trailer, which had many war scenes, which were very tragic, but compared with the footage played today, it was simply a terrible thing. The reporters on the scene saw fresh lives turning into a pool of flesh and blood, or lying in a pool of blood, and they all felt the cruelty of the war.

The five-minute special production was played, and the lights were on. At the same time, the scene burst into warm applause. The reporters knew that "The Apocalypse of the Future" was not an ordinary science fiction popcorn movie, but a movie that has in-depth thinking about life and war. They believed that this would be a shocking science fiction masterpiece.

After the production and the special episode was broadcast, the host began to communicate with the main creators of the film and asked them about their views on the movie and their feelings about working with Zhang Ran.

Scarlett Johnson said with a smile: "I especially like the movies directed by Zhang Ran. I am his fan. Working with him has always been my dream. After receiving his invitation, I didn't even watch the script, so I agreed directly." She smiled and said: "Which actor can reject Zhang Ran's invitation?"

Matt Damon also said: "I am a fan of director Zhang Ran. This movie is also the most exciting production I have performed since film. Director Zhang Ran is not only a director, but also a performance expert. He has in-depth research on performance. During the filming, he gave me a lot of guidance. I have gained a lot of gains in cooperation with him."

Robert De Niro has starred in countless masterpieces and worked with countless top directors. When talking about Zhang Ran, his appreciation is still beyond words: "Zhang Ran is a very serious and thoughtful person. He and I are from the Strass School, and it is very pleasant to work with him." He also praised the play "The Future Apocalypse": "I burst into tears after reading the script. The story is particularly touching. It may be that I have encountered the best script in the past twenty years. I told myself to act in this movie."

After the host interview, it was time for reporters to ask questions freely, and the reporters had been waiting for a moment.

In the director's special, Zhang Ran has already expressed his thoughts on why he made this movie and many ideas about creation. Naturally, the reporters will not ask questions like why he made this story.

The first reporter was called by the host and stood up and asked, "The Future Apocalypse is said to have invested up to $50 million, which is the highest-invested movie ever. As for the clip we just saw, it is particularly tragic and bloody. It must be R-rated in North America, which will lose a large number of teenage audiences. For a high-cost movie with an investment of $50 million, the risk is very high. Are you worried about the box office?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "For me, I definitely hope that the more audience the better, the higher the box office, the better. However, although "The Apocalypse of the Future" is a science fiction film, it talks about war, and as a war film, it must be serious. I hope to restore the tragic war and then portray the human nature of the war. This shooting will indeed lose many young audiences, and the box office will be greatly reduced. But I think that if the audience can make more warnings about war, be grateful for life, and cherish life, even if the box office is worse, it will be worth it."

The second reporter stood up and asked, "Hello, Director Zhang Ran, "The Future Apocalypse" costs US$50 million, which is the highest-invested movie in the world. So where is this money mainly spent?"

Zhang Ran explained: "I initially expected the movie to cost 200 million US dollars, but after communicating with Industrial Light and Magic, it increased to 100 million yuan. During the shooting process, it exceeded 50 million, which became 50 million yuan. This movie has many special effects shots, more than 2,500, surpassing "Avatar". There are also many war scenes. Not only are the scenes large, but it is also a battle between humans and robots, which is particularly complicated to make. The entire special effects team of our movie includes 57 companies led by Industrial Light and Magic. There are more than 200 special effects personnel, and it will take one and a half years to do it in the later stage. This is very expensive. During the shooting process, various equipment and props were used, and there were more than 100 sets of motion capture suits alone and more than 100 sets of exoskeleton armor. In addition, renting tanks and airplanes cost money. In fact, it is not easy to finish the movie with 50 million yuan!"

After asking Zhang Ran two questions, the third reporter threw the question to Robert De Niro and others: "I would like to ask Robert De Niro, Matt Damon, and Scarlett Johnson, have you come to China this time to taste Chinese food? What do you think of Chinese food?"

Robert De Niro is a foodie. He obviously asked the right question. He smiled and said, "It's great. We have tasted a lot of Chinese delicacies these two days. I like spicy crabs and pancakes the most. I run a restaurant in New York. When I go back this time, I want to bring the pancakes back so that the restaurant customers can also taste the most delicious pancakes in the world!"

When the Chinese reporters present all smiled with pride when they heard that Robert De Niro liked pancakes so much, they all smiled slightly. Chinese food was indeed invincible!

Scarlett Johnson is also a foodie. A few months ago, she had to maintain her figure and was on a diet because she wanted to star in "Captain America 2". Now that the movie has been filmed, she can finally let go of her stomach and eat. In the past two days in Peking, she has eaten a lot. She counted out a bunch of food names, such as bean noodles, crispy candy, fried liver, etc., which made the reporters at the scene stunned. Finally, she also told everyone excitedly: "I have made an appointment tonight, and Jingtian will take us to have hot pot!"

The Chinese reporters present were surprised when they heard Jingtian, and almost everyone wondered if they had heard it wrong. A reporter asked: "Which Jingtian who starred in "Running Man"? Do you know her?"

Scarlett Johnson immediately smiled: "Yes, it's that Jingtian." She looked at Matt Damon and Robert De Niro, and smiled: "She is a good friend to us, and we all like her!"

Matt Damon and Robert De Niro nodded with a smile. They really like Jingtian.

The Chinese reporters at the scene were in an uproar. Jingtian not only knew Scarlett Johnson, but also was friends with Matt Damon and Robert De Niro. What was going on?
Chapter completed!
