Dou Ge: Hello everyone, I'm Dou Ge, today we are honored to have two leading actors of "Die Hard 5" Bruce Willis and his son Jacketney come to our Hengdian Movie City Fan Club as guests. All are warmly welcome. (Applause...)
Bruce Willis (hereafter referred to as Bu): Hello, everyone, the Chinese people, and the friends of the Hengdian Movie Fan Group!
Jay Courtney (hereinafter referred to as Jay): Hello, everyone, I'm Jacketney, Bruce's son, of course, this is in Die Hard, thank you for your attention!
Pocket song: Welcome you two, please sit on the kang. I know that as a movie fan, everyone has been looking forward to the release of Die Hard 5. As the main actor, can Bruce talk about this movie first?
Bu: Okay, thank you! Friends, I - John McClain is back (applause...). Yes, I know that in your China, I am the immortal little strong that you often miss, and the "broom star" that will be destroyed wherever you go in your heart. It's been 7 years since I destroyed the Matrix and saved the United States of America in Die Hard 4 in 2007, and I miss you so much. (Applause...) This time I came back and moved my footsteps to Russia, and I'm going to destroy it with my powers and bring you even more stunning visuals. And of course my unfilial son, we are going to destroy Russia together, hehe.
Jay: Hello everyone. In this sequel, I played the role of Jack McClain's son, Jack. Maybe you are not familiar with me, but if you have seen the "Jack Reacher" released in China last month, you should have a little impression of me, hehe, I You played opposite Tom Cruise in this movie, remember? Yes, it's me. In this movie, I will have a more powerful performance, which is very powerful, thank you all.
Pocket Ge: Let's talk about the action design of this movie first, because as an old-fashioned action movie, what people are most concerned about is what new action elements have been added to this movie?
B: In this film, director John Moore added a lot of action elements, including our location in Russia, the birthplace of old action. It is because we have almost destroyed the United States. We have destroyed American airports, destroyed the Empire State Building, destroyed the federal underground vault, destroyed the New York underground tunnels... So the American people protested and let us go out and destroy them. The director and I decided to put the location in Russia after serious consideration. Of course, if people continue to like me, I will destroy the entire planet. In order to increase the visual effect, we also invited the DARTZ company's armored car Kombat MRAP to rampage on the streets of Moscow, and invited the Mi-24 female deer with the GSH-30-2 double-barreled cannon to pour bullets into the air. We paid for it, and the Mi-24 Hines also appeared on the screen for the first time. Of course, in order to keep my fans from being disappointed, I also worked my hardest, swivel 360 degrees in the air from 120 meters, jumped off the building, and crashed a lot. Although I almost lost my life, but in order to make my fans happy, it was worth it!
Jie: My dad said a lot just now, and we did add a lot of action elements to this movie, which will definitely be refreshing to you. If the opening is less than 5 minutes, we have a 15-minute road chase scene. We destroyed about 100 good cars in this chase, including the armored ones we borrowed. Then we destroyed the most famous hotel in Russia, and finally we focused on the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Russia, where the nuclear power leak occurred in 1986, where we destroyed the Mi-24 Hind gunship. It can be said that the whole movie does not have any urine spots, it is very popular. Of course, it's not enough to spend the money now. As the audience's eyes become more and more critical, our money is becoming more and more difficult to earn. It is really difficult to invite the audience to the cinema without a little creativity and explosiveness. Piracy pit father!
Pocket Ge: Hehe, because the issue of piracy involves national conditions, we won't discuss it today. Looks like this sequel is worth looking forward to. So let's talk about the plot. I know that this movie is only 95 minutes long. To complete a series of special effects such as action and gunfights in such a short time, will the plot be very weak?
Bu: That's it. To make up for that, I have a son in this episode after I had a daughter in the last episode. (shouting….) And had a conflict with the son. He, like you and my daughter, thinks I'm a mascot and suffers wherever I go. Just as my son asked me at the end of the movie, "Is the trouble looking for me, or am I looking for trouble?", my answer was, "I can't tell." In fact, I really can't tell. Take the plot of this sequel as an example, I originally wanted to use the short vacation to go to Russia to teach my unsatisfactory son a lesson, and travel along the way to enjoy the scenery of Russia. But I was still somehow involved in this internal Russian war. Can you blame me for this? I hate myself all the time, and I made myself bruised and bruised because of my son. My son also said that I was a broom star. Can father and son communicate with each other only in battle? Of course, as an actor, I also respect the director's opinion. He once said to me, "Bruce, look, Indiana Jones has a son in "Crystal Bones." A son, how could such a down-and-out national hero have only a daughter? So I agreed. Of course, I have a requirement for the director. This son of mine must be stronger and stronger than Jones' son with oil and flour. The director agreed, and the movie came out.
Jie: In a film dominated by pure action and special effects, the plot must be relatively weak. Because we can't do a "full feast of the Manchu and Han", there are gains and losses, and we can't keep our eyes open. But we also try our best to make everyone satisfied. For example, the conflict between my father and I, from the beginning, I hated him very much, and later we fought side by side and understood each other. Although the plot is very simple, I still hope that when you go to the theater to watch it, it is enough to be shocked by our special effects. Didn't you wait for so long just to see how my father and I "went into battle"? If you want to see individual acting skills, I recommend you to watch "Iron Lady", I am a huge fan of Meryl Streep.
Pocket Ge: Oh, let's take a look at Weibo now. Some netizens have asked a question. Let's take a look: May I ask Bruce, I heard that the background music of this sequel has borrowed from the background music of "Mission Impossible", is that so?
Bu: Rumors! A complete rumor! Is it because the tight little drum in the opening sequence is so similar to the "Mission: Impossible" series that you think we are plagiarizing it? Who is this man, I'm going to sue him.
Pocket song: It has been refreshed, please don't care. Ah, another netizen asked: Excuse me, is there a plan for Die Hard 6? Can you put your daughter on the battlefield in 6? She shows too little face in this sequel.
Bu: Oh, thank you for your concern. The shooting plan of Die Hard 6 also depends on the box office this time. Of course it also depends on my body. As for letting our family of three go to the battlefield at the same time, as long as everyone likes it, if I still have the physical strength, I will definitely satisfy everyone's "desire".
Jay: I'm looking forward to this day too. Hehe, to be honest. In this sequel, I have too few emotional scenes, no girlfriends, no kissing scenes, and no sex scenes, in fact, I am very good at these. Hope that if there are 6, I will have more emotional drama. Being a handsome boy is a waste of my condition. I don't know if it's an older sister or a younger sister, so don't appear. It's better to have a father, son and daughter-in-law fight together, hehe.
Pocket song: I hope Die Hard can accompany us forever. Oh, another netizen asked: Excuse me, in the previous Die Hard, there are not only action scenes of life and death, but also many humorous bridges, are there any in this one?
B: I'll ask you to see the movie. All I can say is that I'm a down-and-out little film cop who shows up where I shouldn't be, which triggers one battle after another that I'm reluctant to take part in. . Holding on to winning is my belief, self-deprecating humor is my essence, and none of that will change.
Jay: It is. Even when he was on set, Bruce was a very funny guy. So in the movie I will have a few very humorous conversations with Bruce, I hope you like it.
Pocket Ge: Some netizens asked, can the sequel be filmed in China? Best in Beijing. Hehe, that's a good question.
B: This question is up to the Chinese government. As long as the Chinese government can agree, we will definitely come. I heard that the Transformers series, Mission: Impossible series, and 007 series were all filmed in China. How can we be an exception? At that time, I will also ask my fans to live in Hoid, huh, huh.
Pocket song: Thank you Bruce and Courtney for visiting our Hengdian Movie City Fan Club. Finally, I would like to ask Bruce and Courtney to end our interview with one sentence.
Bu: Is there just one sentence left? I like Chinese fans very much, thank you!
Jay: Say what? Can't it be practical? I hope all movie fans will go to the theater to watch this movie, without the box office, there will be no motivation, without us, there will be no sequel! Piracy pit father! thanks.
