Chapter 32 Look down on HK?

The scene of the launch conference of the movie "The Grim Reaper".

The venue is very large, and the entire venue has been wrapped. There were already rows of reporters sitting inside, and a dozen photographers around were fiddling with their cameras in front of a tripod.

"Welcome all media friends to come to the launch conference of "The Grim Reaper" ......"

After the moderator had spoken for a while, he began to ask questions.

The reporters in the audience raised their hands to ask questions, and the host randomly clicked on Zhou Wei, a reporter from "Cinema Global", Zhou Wei stood up very happily and asked Zhang Li: "Hello Director Zhang, let me first ask about the fight between Sakura Emperor Company and you, I don't know how you react to this." ”

Zhang Li looked around, he knew that these reporters would definitely catch these hot questions, so he replied with a smile: "Well, how can I say it." The blooming of movies is the key to the rise of Chinese films, and I think it is normal for some similar movies, after all, movies are divided into nothing more than comedy, love, action, science fiction and other themes. But I still want to say that those who learn from me live, and those who are like me die. ”

At first, when the reporter heard the front, he thought it was another high-sounding word, but who knew that the style of painting changed, and he was directly stunned.

And Hu Ge, Ying Bao, Huang Bo and other actors looked at each other and smiled bitterly, feeling that their own director was real, how to say it, they couldn't afford to lose a little.

"Hello Director Zhang, I'm Hu Mei, a reporter from Nanfang Daily, don't you think it's a bit arrogant. You just have a movie experience, why do you think you're going to be successful all the time? And director Peng Benxiang is a director with many years of experience, has made a lot of works, and has a strong star cast, where do you have the courage to think that this thriller can be successful. A reporter from Nanfang Daily asked.

It was a beautiful girl who looked at the question, but she listened to the thick Hong Kong Pu. I know that it is HK, even if it is not HK, it is also a person in the Hong Kong circle.

"This time 'Death is Coming' is a script that I had in mind many years ago, and I don't think it will disappoint the audience if it is filmed now. "This Man is from Earth" can already prove that my ability to tell stories is good, after all, it has won more than 100 million box office, ah, by the way" Zhang Li seemed to think of something, tilted his head and looked at Hu Mei who asked the question, "I don't know what the box office record of the director you are talking about is, it also makes me have a bottom in my heart." ”

Hu Mei's face was pale, but the reporters around her were excited, and the camera in her hand kept shooting, and there was really big news today.

"This Man Is From Earth is a boring story, and the box office in the HK market proves its sluggishness. If you still haven't made a breakthrough in this work, I think it will be difficult for you to improve in the HK market. ”

Hu Mei's face was pale, and instead of answering Zhang Li's question, she asked other questions.

Looking at the reporter in front of him, Zhang Li did not ask the question just now. Her so-called director's highest box office now is about 70 million for "Zhiming and Chunjiao", and comparing the box office with him is simply looking for.

"Isn't the box office of about 20 million in HK still bad? And I value the mainland more than HK, after all, the HK film market is still too small. ”

！！！

As soon as Zhang Li's words came out, it was like exploding a pot, and the reporters present looked at Zhang Li in amazement, even Hu Ge and others in the stands were a little confused.

"Director Zhang Li, can I understand that you are looking down on HK movies, you must know that Chinese movies were HK movies at the beginning. Even now you are the pillar of the entertainment industry, as a director, don't you think it's too much to say such things!!" Hu Mei looked at Zhang Li angrily, she was so angry.

"This young reporter, misinterpreting other people's meaning is really your usual style. I don't have any intention of looking down on HK movies, I also liked the golden age of HK very much, Uncle Ying, Wencai, Fa Ge, Xing Ye, Brother Cheng Long and others I admire very much. I just think the HK market is too small. Okay, Miss Hu Mei, this is the press conference of "The Grim Reaper", I hope to ask some relevant questions, and I hope to give others some opportunities. ”

Zhang Li saw that Hu Mei wanted to continue asking, so he spoke directly, after all, he always answered her own questions like something.

At the subsequent press conference, no matter how other reporters asked, Zhang Li was high-sounding or did not answer. After all, there are so many things that have been said, and if you say something excessive, it may irritate some people's nerves.

And after the reporters saw that Zhang Li was not cooperating, they also began to target the problem, Hu Ge, Deng Chao, Huang Bo and others.

Except for Yingbao, everyone else in this is an old fritter, and they all know what to say and what not to say, so the reporter is also very helpless. And Ying Bao looked at the scene in front of him, and he could not answer without answering.

At the end of the press conference, there were really no problems, and it was over.

After the end, the atmosphere was a little weird, maybe everyone didn't expect Zhang Li to be so bold. Zhang Li looked at everyone's expressions, and also felt that he might have said a little too much, and he should have been more tactful just now. But when all is said and done, it doesn't matter.

"The Grim Reaper is Coming" was officially filmed on October 19th, after the kick-off ceremony.

......

Capital Airlines welcomed two different guests today, not to visit, but to buy planes, or scrapped planes... This request made the staff of Beijing Airlines look confused, thinking that they were here to make trouble.

However, he saw that he was dressed extraordinary, so he reported it layer by layer, and then the vice president of Beijing Airlines came down directly to greet him.

"Haha, Mr. Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time!" said to the vice president of Beijing Airlines, everyone's identity is not bad, even if they are not very familiar, they still know each other.

After the two exchanged politeness, Zhang Li went straight to the point when he saw that he was almost done: "Take me to see it now"

Then they got on the bus and set off, and Mr. Wang of Beijing Airlines asked Zhang Li and Mr. Wang: "What are you buying a rotten plane for? Are you going to make a movie?"

Zhang Li's face was confused, why would he know. looked at the big old king, but the big old king was also puzzled.

Maybe it was the confusion of the two people, Mr. Wang said directly. "Don't be confused, no one told me. I'm guessing, after all, the scrapped planes that come here can only be used to make movies or models. Although many of the scenes in the airplane in movies are made of special effects, sometimes they still come to us. Of course it's not as big as yours, just leasing planes or making us consultants or something. ”

Soon the two of them came to the large flat where the scrapped aircraft were stored.

As one of the four major airlines of the flower planter, Jingcheng Airlines has a lot of scrapped aircraft, and there are thirty or forty scrapped planes parked here.

Zhang Li watched and said to Mr. Wang: "I want the kind of passenger plane with no damage to the appearance, the cheapest, more than 120 seats, as long as the shape remains intact, and there is no problem with dismantling some devices inside..."

"If it's intact, and cheap, I'll ask someone to show you. Xiao Li, you take us to find a few planes in this condition. Mr. Wang said to Zhang Li, the eldest Wang and Xiao Li, who was in charge here.

Xiao Li is in charge of this side, so he is also very familiar with the situation here, and he directly led them to the parking points of several targets without looking at the information.

Da Lao Wang and Mr. Wang talked and laughed along the way, and soon under the leadership of Xiao Li, they looked at a few planes, and after comparing them, Zhang Li chose a large passenger plane. Although the contents are almost hollowed out, they are not bad in appearance.

The eldest Wang said to Mr. Wang: "Mr. Wang, we are also old acquaintances, how about a friendship price?"

Mr. Wang thought for a while, anyway, it was a scrapped plane, and then said: "Big Wang, we are also friends." In this way, I won't take your money from the plane, just treat it as if I sponsored you, as long as you put an advertisement in your movie and appear in the camera, how about it. ？”

Hearing this, the eldest king looked at Zhang Li. After all, Zhang Li is the director, and he still believes in it.

"Yes, but I have to trouble you to arrange for the staff to paint and transport it to the suburbs. Zhang Li didn't think about answering it, anyway, there should be a picture of the airport in the movie, so it would be good to change it to Beijing Airport directly.
