296 Press Conference

Chen Fei began to prepare for the new film without stopping.

The movie "Hunting U571" tells a story: In April 1942, during World War II, the largest naval battle in history was underway on the Atlantic Ocean.

***German uses the "wolf pack" tactic to dispatch a large number of U-shaped submarines to run rampantly in the North Atlantic waters. Many allied ships carrying strategic materials were sunk by German submarines on the east coast of the United States. However, the US Navy was unable to decipher its radio communication password and could not pose much threat to German submarines.

The American submarine commanded by Captain Hash and Major Kunan, S-33, was ordered by the fleet commander to sail secretly.

Their "baggage" is many wooden boxes, but the crew members don't know what is inside.

It was not until the S-33 drove into the deep sea that the mission of this trip gradually became clear: the S-33 would become a "Trojan horse", and these boxes would disguise it as a *** U-shaped submarine.

They will merge with another stranded German submarine to seize the cipher machine on the boat, which the Allies can use to stop the attack of the ** "wolf pack".

A 9-man team risked their lives to force themselves to board the German U-571 submarine to seize the password transmitter. According to the original plan, they would destroy the U-shaped submarine without the enemy's awareness and bring the prisoners back to the United States, but an unexpected accident occurred, trapping them in the enemy's submarine.

He was rushed by German reinforcements and the American submarine that was supporting was blown up.

The nine-man team was forced to fight back on the already severely damaged U-571, but unexpectedly, the German destroyer with more powerful firepower followed one after another.

There was only one torpedo on U-571, and it was full of unfamiliar Germans. How to control the instrument? The submarine trapped in a 100-meter deep sea was crushed by water at any time. The sea water was surrounded by deep-water bombs dropped by German destroyers.

In this battle, a series of hunting was carried out at the bottom of the sea. There was no longer much time. Faced with this dangerous waters and submarines that didn't know how to drive, the fate and success of these ordinary people could only rely on each other's trust and intuition.

The film "Hunting u571" was released in the United States in 2000. It received praise as soon as it was released and suddenly squeezed into the box office of 100 million yuan. The box office of 100 million yuan in 2000 was still in the United States, which is really amazing.

"Although a large number of film reviews reveal a lot of inaccuracies and flaws in the movie, it does not hinder the rhythm of survival in twists and turns. The climax in the second half of the movie continues, and the submarine's crackling sound is unique because of the wall power."

"I haven't watched such an exciting war movie for a long time. Although it is an old film, in fact, for war movies, we should shoot this way without being pretentious, not being pretentious, not being affectionate, not having children's love, because war is cruel. As a war movie that restores war to the greatest extent, of course, we should promote justice and promote good and punish evil. This film has done this. It is ugly to watch science fiction movies. The climaxes are repeated, with almost no major loopholes. Cass is also extremely powerful. At that time, Matthew was young and tender..."

This is a pertinent review by some domestic film critics when the movie was released.

Therefore, the original drama has laid a very good foundation for Chen Fei. As long as he processes it carefully on the original basis and then shoots a classic, it is not impossible.

This film is different from "Top Gun" and follows the path of a drama film, so if you want to make this film well, the plot is very important.

In fact, the key to the popularity of "Hunting U571" on Earth is that the plot is the plot. Because the edited plot gives people a sense of suffocational tension, the award won by this film is the Oscar Best Sound Effect Editing Award.

By the same token, if Chen Fei wants to do a good job in this movie, the editing of audio and video is very important.

Of course, the biggest challenge for Chen Fei to filming this movie is actually the setting of the background.

In the original drama, this is a story that happened in the past, so you don’t have to worry about the background and other settings, just use it.

But Chen Fei wanted to put this story in a modern context because he wanted to film a movie about how Chinese submarine officers and soldiers fought wits and courage with the enemy, so the submarines inside should be modern submarines, which are more advanced.

But this involves some problems. First of all, which submarine in China should use?

Secondly, who is the enemy?

Is it the American?

Or a fur bear?

Or are some potential opponents nearby?

Or an enemy completely imagined out of thin air?

And, what does the enemy's submarine look like?

In addition, what is the modern submarine war?

On the one hand, these things require him to think carefully, and on the other hand, they also require approval from superior departments!

Of course, he also needs some professional submarine experts to help him design!

So the project volume of this work is quite large.

In addition, there is another important task - the selection and training of actors, as well as the preparation and production of models and props.

Of course, Chen Fei has another thing, that is, the shooting of the TV series.

This time, Chen Fei plans to play movies and TV series together.

Promote each other and improve each other.

But he can't check the filming of the TV series anymore. Even if he uses it with one mind, he will not be able to complete it.

So, who should I leave the filming of the TV series to?

Of course it's maritime affairs.

But Chen Fei had to write the script first.

But before writing the script, Chen Fei first had to get the instructions from his superiors, when was the story appropriate to shoot this movie, and who was the imaginary enemy?

On this day, a military leader found him.

"Comrade Chen Fei, can you use this movie to process and create it based on a real battle that our army's 321 submarine encountered three years ago?"

"Yeah/" Chen Fei was shocked when he heard this.

"This is the relevant information, you can take a look first!"

Chen Fei quickly took it and started to look.

After watching it, he looked up at the other party: "Chief, the new movie will be created with this incident for that book. I promise to make him well!"

"good!"

Chen Fei sent the other party away, immediately returned to the company, summoned relevant personnel, and started creating.

The script of "The Sword of the Deep Sea" is like the script of "Hunting U571", and is composed collectively. Chen Fei came up with ideas and made requirements, and other members created together, and finally Chen Fei checked it.

So now, the script matter is no longer so difficult for Chen Fei.

After finishing the script, the next step is to press conference.

On August 10, 2013, Xu Yun knocked on the door and told Chen Fei: "Brother Fei, you can hold a press conference!"

"Are you OK?"

"Um."

Xu Yun nodded.

"Okay, then go and prepare."

"Okay Brother Fei."

This is the first press conference of "Hunting u-571", so the crew attaches great importance to it.

Submarines are really mysterious to the common people, so as soon as the news that Chen Fei was going to shoot a submarine-themed movie spread, the entertainment industry suddenly became excited. Many people's conversations after dinner were transferred from other places to submarines.

"Submarine? So, Brother Fei and the others are going to go to the sea to take pictures?"

"How do you shoot a submarine movie? The submarine is just that big, and there is no place to even put a camera, right?"

"Submarine? This is a fresh topic! I heard from some of my friends who love military that China has become a military power, first, has nuclear weapons, and second, has submarines that can launch nuclear bombs, so I can't wait to watch Fei Ge's movie."

Everyone was chattering.

As soon as the news that the press conference was about to be held, the entertainment reporters were immediately excited. The media applying to attend the press conference far exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Brother Fei, there are too many reporters who want to attend the press conference. Should we change places?" Xu Yun came to ask for instructions.

“Change the place?”

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be able to squeeze in at all, and I'm worried that if there are too many people, what accident will happen?"

Chen Fei scratched his head.

This is a bit difficult to deal with!

The time and place have been decided, and suddenly changed. Not only did the other things, just notifying those reporters is a huge project.

"How many media are there?" Chen Fei asked Xu Yun.

"There are more than 200 companies now."

"More than two hundred? Why are there so many?"

Chen Fei was shocked.

Even if all domestic entertainment media come, there are only more than 100, so we should include all local media and online media, with more than 200. Could it be that many foreign media have also come?

"Show me the list!" Chen Fei said quickly.

"Okay." Xu Yun went out, and soon took a list in and handed it to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei looked at it and suddenly his brows froze.

"Brother Fei, what's wrong?" Xu Yun seemed to see his expression change.

"It's nothing, you go out first, I'll think about it and tell you how to do it?"

"Okay Brother Fei!" Although Xu Yun was a little puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions. He just turned around and went out and closed the door.

Chen Fei picked up the cell phone on the table and called a number: "Hey, Lao Lin, there is a situation that I have to report to you. There were too many reporters who came to attend the press conference of "Hunting u571", and many of them were foreign media. In addition, I found several vigilant media names in it."

Chen Fei reported on his situation one by one.

He suspected that this press conference would be followed by some interested people.
