The reporters present were all very excited, chatting animatedly.
They were all eagerly anticipating Su Han's appearance.
At that very moment, Su Han walked out.
Upon seeing Su Han's figure, everyone's eyes turned towards him in unison.
"Ah, Su Han is here!"
"Su Han, Su Han, Su Han!!!"
"So happy, I finally get to see Su Han. I haven't seen him in so long."
"Wuwuwu, I feel like I'm going to cry. I never expected to see Su Han here today, I'm truly touched."
"I've waited for this moment for so long, it's all I've longed for."
The reporters were all incredibly excited at this moment. Their eyes lit up upon seeing Su Han, filled with emotion.
The reporters promptly raised their cameras and began snapping photos of Su Han on stage, clicking away.
Su Han, Chen Kaige, and Tsui Hark walked onto the stage in succession and stood at the front.
Feeling the flashes of light flickering before them, the overwhelming sensation.
They could clearly feel the excitement and fervor of the reporters in the audience, sensing their desperate eagerness to ask various questions.
"Su Han!!!!"
As soon as Su Han appeared, everyone in the audience shouted, overwhelmed with excitement.
Seeing their immense enthusiasm and affection for Su Han, Chen Kaige and Tsui Hark exchanged smiles.
They felt a sense of satisfaction seeing Su Han so beloved by so many.
Next, the commencement ceremony for "The Battle at Lake Changjin" officially began.
After the official start of the commencement ceremony for "The Battle at Lake Changjin,"
Following the ribbon-cutting and the host's introduction, it was time for the reporters' questions.
Reporter 1: "We heard that the three directors invested 1.3 billion in this film. Where did the largest portion of the film's budget go?"
Reporter 2: "We heard that over seven thousand staff were involved in the preliminary preparations for this film, along with more than seventy thousand extras. Is this true?"
Reporter 3: "We heard this is a war film, but making a good war film is incredibly difficult. It's not easy to make this film well. Do the directors truly have the ability to bring this film to your desired standard?"
Reporter 4: "Also, I'd like to ask Mr. Su Han why you are collaborating with directors Han Han, Lou Ye, and Wong Kar-wai. After all, the box office performance of these three directors' films hasn't been stellar. Are you doing charity work by investing in their films?"
Facing the questions from these four reporters, Su Han, Chen Kaige, and Tsui Hark exchanged glances, showing politeness and deference.
Su Han: "Regarding the film, I'll let the two directors answer. I'll address my investments in other directors' films later."
After Su Han said this, Chen Kaige and Tsui Hark proceeded to answer the reporters' questions.
Chen Kaige: "The high cost of war-themed films primarily stems from three aspects: first, the massive number of extras. Second, the cost of props and scenes. Explosives, prop firearms, and costumes all cost money. Third is insurance. There are many fight and explosion scenes. The crew is large, and to ensure everyone's safety, the expenditure in this area is also quite high."
"Additionally, there are visual effects costs."
Chen Kaige answered the question very earnestly. After hearing his response, the reporters present seemed to understand.
"Thank you, thank you Director Chen!"
Next, Tsui Hark answered the second question.
"The seven thousand staff in the preliminary preparations and the seventy thousand extras are all accurate."
Tsui Hark's answer was concise and serious.
Everyone listened intently.
Then, some couldn't help but chuckle.
Su Han: "Now for the third question. War films, I haven't personally delved into them, but I trust that the two directors beside me can do a great job. I feel incredibly fortunate to be collaborating with Director Chen and Director Tsui."
"As for war films being difficult to make and difficult to become blockbusters, I can confidently say here that I guarantee 'The Battle at Lake Changjin' will absolutely hold its ground!"
"'The Battle at Lake Changjin' is absolutely capable!"
"As for whether it will be a box office success, you'll all know when you go to the cinemas to support us!"
Saying this, Su Han also gave a slight smile.
It was his bit of playful wit that made the reporters chuckle.
Su Han, in the end, possessed a certain charm.
"And now, for the fourth question."
"For the fourth question, I think, how should I put it, if we were to measure a film's quality and worth by its box office, I believe that is a rather shameful thing."
"In my opinion, a film with poor box office doesn't necessarily mean it's not a good film, but a film with good box office doesn't necessarily mean it's a good film either."
"A film with good box office, to put it bluntly, is about serving you, the audience, pleasing you, and then you're willing to pay and watch."
"But can you say that a film with poor box office isn't a good film? No, you can't!"
"In my view, directors Lou Ye and Wong Kar-wai are both very outstanding directors. As for Han Han, I find him quite interesting and wanted to try something different."
"And that concludes my answers."
Everyone listened very attentively to what Su Han said. After hearing his speech, they couldn't help but nod repeatedly, strongly agreeing with him.
One could hear reporters whispering amongst themselves.
"It does seem to be like that."
"My goodness, I really was too... too prejudiced before."
"I didn't expect Su Han to be so insightful and have such personal views. He's truly remarkable, truly remarkable."
"That's why I like Su Han. Unlike many people today who judge a film solely by its box office, they are simply too speechless."
"Ah, in this materialistic world, in this world accustomed to chasing quick money with formulas, it's truly rare, too rare, for someone to forge their own path and not follow the crowd."
The reporters in the audience nodded, quietly discussing Su Han's words.
Su Han's words were like a divine revelation to them.
They could imagine the sensation these words would create, the topics they would ignite.
They were already filled with anticipation.
"It seems like tonight is going to be explosive again."
"Heh heh, that's a certainty. With Su Han here, viral content is bound to happen."
