Chapter 737: The premiere of "Hong Kong".

The most anticipated film of the year, "Hong Kong", which will be released on September 25, held a grand world premiere in Shaojing on September 20.

Director and starring Xu Zheng and Zhao Wei, Bao Bei, Du Juan, Tao Hong, Ge Minhui, Li Canchen, Zhu Yuanyuan and other main creators all appeared on the stage.

Different from the red carpet of previous movie premieres, the star lineup that came to help Hong Kong is beyond imagination, not only Wang Bo, Chen Jianbin , Jiang Qinqin , Bai Baihe , Dapeng , Xia Yu , Yuan Quan , Wang Zulan and other first-line actors, Li Shaohong , Zhang Yibai , Li Yu , Fei Xing and other well-known directors, powerful players in the music world Han Hong , Sun Nan, industry bigwigs Lin Xiaoguang, Huang Changtian, Huang Zhonglei, gold medal producer Fang Li, talk show host Jia Ling and other leaders from all walks of life also gathered on the red carpet of the premiere.

Of course, many of them are here for the face of Lin Xiaoguang and "Hong Kong", and not all of them are Xu Zheng's connections.

And the reason why Lin Xiaoguang works so hard to promote "Hong Kong" is because the "Embarrassment Series" is an IP created by him himself, and on the other hand, because his Light and Shadow Pictures is the film and television company with the largest investment share in the film, accounting for 17% of the investment share, far exceeding the 10% of Guangguang Media and Huayi Brothers.

Therefore, with the impetus of Lin Xiaoguang, the premiere of "Hong Kong" can be described as a star-studded ceremony, comparable to the grand occasion of the film festival awards ceremony, creating the most luxurious red carpet lineup in the history of film premieres.

And Xu Zheng took a group photo with all the guests present together with the main creator of the film, creating the most luxurious movie premiere group photo.

Dozens of first-line stars came to the scene to promote Hong Kong's embarrassment, and the red carpet was comparable to the lineup of an international film festival.

On the red carpet, the celebrity guests made "embarrassed" gestures, wishing director Xu Zheng's new work a big hit.

And the most creative blessing is Wang Bo, who actually jumped up to sign it, and only after being ridiculed by Xu Zheng that he had a height defect did he explain with a smile, "I signed like this to wish him a new high at the box office."

As a return gift, Xu Zheng and Wang Bo also posed on the red carpet with the classic pose of "This is life", and the witty Wang Bo teased Xu Zheng at this time, "This is embarrassing life".

At the premiere ceremony, Zhao Wei, one of the main creators, brought the rare red wine of his own winery and presented it to the main creators.

and on the spot, Lin Xiaoguang, Xu Zheng, Bao Bell, Du Juan, Tao Hong, Li Canchen, Ge Minhui and other main creators toasted and blessed the success of "Hong Kong", and it was even more favored by the audience.

Although 99.9% of the audience has not yet seen the true face of director Xu Zheng's latest work, everyone has already felt that Xu Zheng has played various methods of film marketing.

Every time "Hong Kong" press conference will become a hot topic of the day.

However, tonight's premiere of "Hong Kong" is back to basics, there are no tricks, Xu Zheng, Zhao Wei, Bao Bell, Du Juan, the four main creators came up and began to accept the media's "torture".

may be because he was afraid that reporters would compare him with Lin Xiaoguang, Xu Zheng took a precautionary shot in advance: "Don't take "Hong Kong" as a sequel to "Thai Embarrassment". ”

After the previous screening of "Hong Kong" was reviewed, everyone already knew that this play is not a pure comedy like Thai embarrassment from beginning to end, but a new story with laughter and tears.

This time, Xu Zheng was still on stage and thanked Lin Xiaoguang for his kindness.

"Today's "Hong Kong Embarrassment" finally premiered, and I want to be able to get to this day, I want to thank Xiaoguang in particular, without Xiaoguang, my dream of directing may take a long time to come true. ”

"You may not know that since I directed my first film "Master of Hypnosis", Xiaoguang has given me the help and trust of my absolute parents. ”

Xu Zheng's grateful speech also made the people present more aware of what kind of great existence Lin Xiaoguang is in the entertainment industry.

In terms of current achievements and impact. In front of Lin Xiaoguang, Xu Zheng is always a grade behind.

Lin Xiaoguang has not only become popular with first-line stars such as Wen Zhang, Jing Boran, Bai Lily, Zhao Liying, etc., but also supported Xu Zheng, Chen Sicheng, Fei Xing, Dapeng and many other newcomer directors.

In addition, Xu Zheng also wants to talk about the theme of "everyone's unfulfilled wishes", "It is not necessarily emotional, career, personal, everyone has some unfinished things." This gives the viewer a sense of substitution. ”

As the heroine of the movie "Hong Kong Embarrassment", at the press conference on the same day, some reporters took Zhao Wei as one of the most important questions.

When asked why she would consider cooperating with Xu Zheng in this Hong Kong embarrassment, Zhao Wei first explained that she was originally here for Lin Xiaoguang, but later, she found out that the director of the movie "Hong Kong Embarrassment" was not Lin Xiaoguang, but Xu Zheng, so she retreated.

However, Zhao Wei realized that what she said seemed to be a little disrespectful to Xu Zheng, so she hurriedly changed her words and declared that in fact, she had long paid attention to Xu Zheng's comedy talent, and originally planned to act with Xu Zheng.

"On the other hand, I usually take on some challenges when I take on a movie, and I have never seriously acted in a thrilling bed scene before, so I also want to challenge this when I am embarrassed in Hong Kong. ”

Zhao Wei's words made the reporters in the audience laugh, and Xu Zheng on the side also pretended to be frightened: "You say this, won't the headlines of the media be all the ones tomorrow, and Zhao Wei will be embarrassed by Hong Kong because of the bed scene?"

It's just that, after saying that, Xu Zheng also turned his head to the media, "Of course, it's okay to say that, but don't do too much, it's not good to be heavy." ”

Zhao Wei also broke the news that Xu Zheng, as the director, personally showed Zhao Wei's "passionate action" and rode a small pillow to act in a bed scene.

What's even more embarrassing is that when Zhao Wei and Xu Zheng were acting in a bed scene, they were just in time for her husband Huang Youlong to come to visit the class, and he saw the two of them "busy" in bed, and politely said, "You are busy first, you are busy first".

In fact, as the first time to cooperate with Zhao Wei, Xu Zheng is extremely recognized of Zhao Wei's performance.

"I gave her a 979 for her performance. Xu Zheng commented, "As for the 21 points deducted, it is mainly my director's problem." ”

"To be honest, compared to Xiaoguang, I still have imperfections. ”

watched the screening before, and everyone found that Zhao Wei only appeared for about 20 minutes, what is the reason for this.

Xu Zheng said frankly that some people would regard Zhao Wei as the heroine throughout, but in fact, Zhao Wei's role is not so heavy, "She is the finishing touch, but this will inevitably disappoint her fans, this is my problem, so 21 points will be deducted from me." ”

In this regard, Xu Zheng explained to the media on the spot: "This emotional line supported by Zhao Wei is particularly important to female audiences. However, when we advertised, we couldn't say that Zhao Wei was not the female number one. ”

In addition to acting, it was Zhao Wei who built a bridge for Xu Zheng, allowing Xu Zheng to contact Huang Fei, and finally contributed to Huang Fei becoming the singer of the movie theme song "Breeze Xu Lai".

In the summer of this year, "Monster Hunt", a money-laundered film, topped the domestic box office list with a box office of more than 2.3 billion, and before that, the highest box office maker of domestic films was "Detective Chinatown" directed by Lin Xiaoguang.

Seeing that "Hong Kong" is about to be released, although it has a good reputation and audience expectations, there are also competitors in the same schedule around "Hong Kong", such as "Rescue Mr. Wu" and "Nine-Story Demon Tower", which inevitably makes people feel that it is indeed extremely difficult for Xu Zheng to create a new record.

If the director of "Hong Kong" is Lin Xiaoguang, everyone may think that Lin Xiaoguang is very likely to break the box office record of 2.3 billion, but now that the director has been replaced by Xu Zheng, everyone can only hold a half-believing attitude and dare not think more.

"I don't want to set a record" Xu Zheng is also self-aware of this, and also explained at the press conference: "In that case, I'll just shoot the 3rd version, at least the same number of viewers, and the box office will be higher." ”

According to Xu Zheng, he distinguished the definition of "Hong Kong" and "Thai Embarrassment" this time, and called it a work of feelings: "I want the audience to see our stories and emotions." ”

In addition, Xu Zheng also mentioned the opponents of the other two "Eleventh" files, "The three of us, I, the director of Ding Sheng's "Rescue Mr. Wu", and the director of Lu Chuan's "Nine-Story Demon Tower" have been interacting on WeChat. Give each other a thumbs up and encouragement. ”

According to Xu Zheng's words, among them, it is possible for anyone to surpass themselves at the box office.

And when Lin Xiaoguang came to the stage to speak, he was asked by the reporters in the audience which film is most likely to become a competitor of "Hong Kong" in this year's National Day file, Lin Xiaoguang said bluntly: "I think it's "Charlotte's Troubles"!

As soon as the words fell, the audience was in an uproar, and people began to talk about each other.
