Chapter 1112: Controversy
On July 11, 1991, the press conference of the "Disaster Relief Emergency Appeal" was held in Beiping, and the Chinese government sought humanitarian relief from all over the world.
The next day, the Hong Kong entertainment industry held a large-scale concert of "Forget Me Extravaganza" at Happy Valley Racecourse to raise funds for the flood victims, and finally raised more than 100 million donations, and then the film and television industry companies, bigwigs and celebrities donated more than 200 million.
The whole city immediately set off a wave of donations to help the floods in East China.
By July 23, in just 10 days, the total amount of disaster relief fundraising in Hong Kong had reached more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars.
Then the British government of Hong Kong also allocated 50 million Hong Kong dollars to help the disaster areas in East China.
At the same time, Taiwan's donations to the disaster areas in East China also exceeded 3 million US dollars.
Pineapple Terrace and "Minsheng Daily" held a disaster relief party of "Sending Love to the Mainland" at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, raising a total of more than NT$40 million.
Macau's donation also exceeded 20 million patacas.
The United Nations has received donations from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, New Zealand, etc., totaling 13.73 million US dollars, of which 46.9% was donated by the British government in Hong Kong.
Combined with the direct donation to our country, it is more than 20 million US dollars.
Compared with the donations of various governments, the donations of non-governmental charitable organizations in various countries are even more, far exceeding the donations of national governments, with a total of 26.83 million US dollars.
The key point is that among the governments that donate, the largest donors are not the rich United States, Britain and other developed countries in Europe and the United States.
Rather, Cuba and North Korea, which are equally impoverished, account for 50 percent of the total foreign government aid, of which the Cuban government alone has donated more than $17 million.
The donations from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese exceeded the donations of these countries several times.
Hong Kong alone has more than doubled the donations from these countries.
Originally, Hong Kong people have been actively donating money for domestic compatriots, and wireless ATV is reporting on the disaster situation and donations in the mainland every day.
After such statistics were reported, Hong Kong people were more motivated to donate.
After all, there aren't many opportunities for Hong Kong to beat the rest of the world.
And at such an excited and enthusiastic stall, the movie "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" filmed by the Hong Kong stars that attracted much attention to raise funds for the disaster area was released.
The film has been a topic of conversation since the beginning of filming.
Almost all the first- and second-tier stars in Hong Kong participated, and Heaven and Dragon Slayer is a well-known classic.
Several TV movies have been made alone.
Almost everyone of all ages has watched the film and television works of their own era.
Recently, even four or five years ago, Liang Chaowei, Zeng Huaqian, Shao Meiqi and others have just filmed a new TV series about Heaven and Dragon Slayer.
The characters and plots in it can be talked about by any person.
This kind of well-known story is made into a movie, and there are so many stars involved, there is a debate about who plays which role.
From the moment before the release of the Demon Sect Leader of Heaven and Dragon Slayer, people's debate about the role has not stopped.
This said that Liang Chaowei was the most suitable candidate for Zhang Wuji, and that Zhang Wuji was looking forward to Qiao Feng's performance.
Another said that Zhao Min played by Li Meixian was a classic, and the other said that Yuan Jieying was more suitable than Li Meixian, and the other couldn't stand it, saying that he liked Li Jiaxin more, bright and atmospheric.
Not to mention this group of leading actors, even the candidate for the extermination master is inextricably contested.
Especially when it was rumored that the exterminator was starring Hui Yinghong, the controversy was even on the front page of the Oriental Daily.
Because too many people think that Hui Yinghong is not suitable to play the exterminator too.
As for where it is not suitable, there are many of them, but the most unsuitable is age.
Hui Yinghong was born in 60 years and is now Chinese New Year's Eve one year old.
Qiao Feng was born in 62, only two years younger than Hui Yinghong, Gao Lihong was born in 65, five years younger than her, and Zhang Min was a little younger, born in 68, eight years younger.
The youngest is Li Zi, born in 71, and is only eleven years younger than Hui Yinghong.
The scope is wider, and everyone can be counted as a generation.
Is it appropriate to let Hui Yinghong, who is eleven years older, play Li Zi's master?
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't fit.
Everyone doesn't understand how this actor was chosen.
Not to mention that the audience felt that it was inappropriate, and even at the beginning, Wang Jingjing felt that the actor was not suitable.
But Qiao Feng didn't realize it.
First of all, age is not a problem at all in front of makeup.
Another one, Hui Yinghong is the person who won the first Academy Awards, her acting skills are undoubted, let her play the middle-aged and elderly exterminator too well she can play.
Finally, and most importantly, Qiao Feng takes a fancy to Hui Yinghong's angular facial features.
Hui Yinghong was also a beauty when she was young, and she also had a personal photo of Hongguoguo.
But everyone who knows her knows that Hui Yinghong's face is the kind of heroic and tough, and her cheekbones are relatively high.
When frowning and pursing his lips, there is a hint of fierceness.
This kind of exterminator who plays a vicious face and kills people without blinking an eye is too suitable.
More than ten years after the original time and space, Wu Qihua's version of Yitian and Dragon Slayer chose Hui Yinghong to play extinction, which has both form and spirit.
As for Li Xiangqin, who the audience thinks is more suitable, Qiao Feng thinks it's too inappropriate.
The sixty-one-year-old Li Xiangqin, also known as Gu Xile, the queen mother in the 2010 flower field happy event played by Angel Baby, although she played the extermination master in Liang Chaowei's version of Heaven and Dragon Slayer five years ago, but her ruthlessness is just a superficial pretense of fierceness.
It's not as fierce as Hui Yinghong's bones.
Everyone is arguing about the casting alone, not to mention the plot or something.
Heaven and Dragon Slayer is so long, so many characters, what is the movie going to talk about, which will be cut, etc.
This movie has caused a national discussion, and when the movie is finished and is about to be released, everyone will inevitably go into the cinema to see what it is.
Of course, many of them are going to the all-star lineup, just to see how many stars they can count, how much gold the stars have, and whether the big names are participating.
But there are still a lot of people who want to buy tickets to go in and see if the plot of the movie is as they think, the all-star lineup, whether the leading actors play well, and the other cameo stars have made cameo appearances in those roles.
These people were still discussing when they bought tickets to enter the venue.
"I don't know if there are six major factions in the movie besieging Guangmingding." Someone muttered.
Someone over there answered: "There must be, didn't you see that there are white-eyed eagle kings and blue-winged bat kings in the pictorial outside?
Then someone interjected and said: "Guangming Ding, I don't know how to shoot this, Li Guangming Ding is located in Kunlun Mountain in the Western Regions, seven bumps and thirteen cliffs, extremely steep, the Guangming Ding and Libi that were filmed in the past movies and television are a fart."
After all, the filming of the movie is said to have taken less than half a month, and it has not been filmed in Hong Kong, so where can there be a place to shoot the feeling of seven bumps and thirteen cliffs.
"Damn, this is not as good as the previous movies and television."
"That's not it, but forget it, so many stars starring, the time is rushing, the selection of scenes is rotten, and the light stars are worth the ticket price."
"Okay, that's all, I hope I can tell a good story."
