At half past two, with six men and one woman wrapped in black tights, and young dancers wearing masks holding props and swords, under the accompaniment of music and the atmosphere of dry ice spray, showed a sword dance on the stage, and the press conference of "Seven Swords" officially began.

Director Xu Laowei specially recorded a video to greet all the media because he had no time to be a clone, and also released a one-and-a-half-minute trailer for the first time.

Then He Xin took the lead, Lu Yi was in the center, and Zhang Jingchu was the finale, and they took the stage together.

First, He Xin held the Dragon Sword, Lu Yi held the Sheshen Sword, and Zhang Jingchu held Yang Caini's Waterfall Sword in the play, and posed a few cool poses to the media reporters present.

Then there's media question time.

"He Xin, most of the films you used to shoot were realistic themes, this should be your first time filming a costume drama, and it is the first time you have starred in a martial arts scene, what prompted you to take over the filming of "Seven Swords"?"

It may be that He Xin's big bald head is too conspicuous, and a cute girl wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and looking quite two-dimensional was the first to stand up and ask him a question.

"First of all, I want to correct your question, the drama "Seven Swords" is not the first time I have taken on a costume drama, nor is it the first time I have acted in a martial arts scene. What kind of drama it is, the occasion is wrong, and I can't explain it. Little sister, I hope you will check it out when you go down. ”

In the end, He Xin also teased this cute girl reporter from Zalang Entertainment with a smile. He did it on purpose, and the atmosphere at the scene was naturally relaxed and lively.

Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, there was a burst of laughter at the scene.

Why did He Xin say that the occasion was wrong and inconvenient to explain?

is because the first costume martial arts scene he took over was Director Chen's "Wuji". Although "Seven Swords" has been set for the summer file, it does not conflict with "Wuji", which is set for the Chinese New Year. However, as the two major productions with the largest domestic investment volume last year, it is natural that a competitive relationship will be formed.

It is obviously inappropriate to mention "Wuji" at the press conference of "Seven Swords", it can only be said that this cute girl reporter of the scum wave is still a little tender, at least he didn't do his homework in advance.

The cute girl obviously just debuted, her face was still very thin, her face was flushed all of a sudden, she was standing there with a microphone, she wasn't standing, she wasn't sitting, and she couldn't speak for a while.

Fortunately, He Xin took pity on the fragrance and cherished the jade, first raised his hand and pressed it, signaling quiet, and then said: "You asked me why I took over the filming of this drama, and the answer is very simple, it is because the director of this drama is Xu Ke." With the word Xu Ke, I really can't think of a reason to refuse. ”

To be honest, in fact, the biggest publicity highlight of the drama "Seven Swords" is Xu Ke, because Xu Ke's martial arts films have long become the memory of a generation.

"Oh, thank you!"

The cute girl reacted at this time and hurriedly thanked her.

There was another burst of laughter at the scene, and it was obvious that the old birds on the scene were laughing at her question for being too substandard.

Sure enough, when the second buddy who also wore glasses asked a much sharper question.

In addition, you have been making literary films before, and you have won many awards at home and abroad, and not long ago, you and the young director Ning Hao's "Green Meadow" has been widely acclaimed. I would like to ask, what inspired you to start making your way into the commercial film scene?"

"Eh, what is the lesson of "The Legend of Shushan", I don't quite understand?" He Xin stood on the stage and asked rhetorically.

The guy obviously didn't expect He Xin to ask rhetorically, and he pondered for a moment before saying: "It's the box office fiasco, and the audience's evaluation is generally not high." ”

"I don't know if the audience's evaluation is generally not high, but in my opinion, "The Legend of Shu Mountain" is a good movie, and director Xu Ke combined the theme of Xianxia with computer stunts, I think it is a bold attempt, and at the same time, in a sense, it has created a new era of domestic film shooting!"

As soon as his words fell, the scene suddenly "coaxed". No one expected that He Xinhui would have such a high evaluation of the recognized bad movie, obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open!

Especially the glasses buddy who asked the question was unconvinced, and just when he wanted to open his mouth to ask a question, he heard He Xin continue: "As for the box office fiasco you said, what I want to say is that we can't evaluate the quality of a movie just by the box office. I think "The Legend of Shushan" is a movie ahead of its time. Maybe in a few years, when you look back at this movie again, maybe you will think that it is a good movie!

Here, I would like to give a well-known example. For example, Zhou Xingxing's "Journey to the West" also suffered a box office fiasco, and even lost the company's bankruptcy. But now that we look back at the movie "Journey to the West", do you still think it's a bad movie?"

“......”

Hearing He Xin use "Journey to the West" as an analogy, the glasses buddy was speechless for a while, as He Xin said, this is well known, and he has no way to mottle.

may be because the rhetoric just now is a bit fierce, He Xin can also see that there are reporters underneath who are ready to move, and obviously want to refute his views.

He smiled and continued to answer the second question from the glasses buddy.

"As for why you asked me why I want to make commercial films, this question is also very simple, because I am an actor, and actors should try different roles, which is not necessarily related to the fact that I am taking on literary films and commercial films.

Oh, I want to add one more point here, before I take on the play, I am generally used to reading the script first, I used to not take on costume dramas because the characters in many costume film and television works are similar, the character portrayal is the same, the action is fake, and the actor has completely become the director's living props. What's more, many scripts are written without artistic conception and depth.

And the script of "Seven Swords" is so attractive, and the portrayal of the character of the wind and fire is also very rich and three-dimensional, quite meaningful, and it is one of the few stories I have seen that combines literature and martial arts. Out of trust in the director and my love for this character, I took the play without hesitation. ”

In the end, in order to adjust the slightly tense atmosphere of the scene, he also turned his head to find the producer Shi Nansheng who was standing with the host, and joked: "Of course, the salary given by the producer is also very attractive." ”

"Coax!"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene again, and there were even good deeds shouting below: "Then how much is your salary?"

"Then I also want to ask, how much is your salary, how much is your extra money in a month?" He Xin asked wittily.

If He Xin only asks what the salary is, someone will definitely answer it confidently, and then continue to ask, but it is more embarrassing to ask how much extra money is.

Entertainment reporters like them are indispensable for their usual extra money, for example, when they come to attend the press conference of "Seven Swords" today, the producers will give out red envelopes according to the usual practice. Running a few more such press conferences a month, the income from red envelopes alone is very considerable, not to mention the usual writing of advertorials, who is black, who is promoted, these jobs are also done with money.

Seeing that no one was silent, He Xin smiled again: "Okay, you can't look at my handsomeness, just throw all the problems to me!

"Whew-"

There was a burst of boos at the scene, and even Lu Yi and Zhang Jingchu, who were standing on the side, looked at him with contempt in front of the media.

Speaking of being handsome, he really doesn't compare with Lu Yi who is dressed in black next to him, but he is still called "little fresh meat" more than ten years later.

In fact, the reason why everyone asks him questions as soon as he comes up is mainly because this product is usually too difficult to interview, and he is very low-key, but sometimes he often speaks surprisingly.

For example, at last year's Golden Rooster Awards, he was the first to support the little white dragon, and then he publicly announced the Diss Awards, which really won a lot of pages.

In fact, many media at the scene were dealing with him for the first time, and they originally thought it was a cold person, but they never thought it was a joke, so the questions on the scene became even more enthusiastic.

Of course, He Xin will not be stupid, he will say whatever the media wants to hear, since the purpose of enlivening the atmosphere has been achieved, he began to stay in three sentences without departing from the theme of "Seven Swords", and played Tai Chi with the reporters on the scene.

The reporters at the scene saw that they couldn't dig anything out of his mouth, so they turned to ask Lu Yi and Zhang Jingchu questions, after all, these two are also red and purple at present.

Especially Zhang Jingchu, the speed of becoming popular is faster than He Xin back then, and in less than two years, she has gone from a passerby to the current first-line actress.

The answers of the two of them were decent, and they all said that they participated in "Seven Swords" out of trust and love for the director. Zhang Jingchu also repeatedly stressed to reporters that she had regrets.

"In this film, I basically play a literary drama, playing a woman who has experienced a massacre and seen through the cold of the world, and her inner world is very complicated. However, there is no drama in the work directed by Xu Ke, which is really not enjoyable, what a pity!"

can be regarded as patting the director's ass from the side.

In any case, even if the director of this press conference did not come, and several big stars in Hong Kong did not appear, but in terms of the atmosphere of the press conference, it was quite successful.

It's just that the headlines published in the media the next day are not very pleasant.

"He Xin admitted: Shoot Seven Swords for money!"

"He Xin's support for the legend of Shushan, is it arrogant or deliberately hype?"

"He Xin avoids talking about Wuji, and there is a hidden secret!"
