Chapter 134 Press Conference [Ask for the first order!]

Well, Lin Cheng doesn't know how to learn, he doesn't have any talent for speech at all, and in his previous life, he was only interested in entertainment news, and he didn't listen to Ma Yunba's chicken soup speech once, so when he wanted to make a speech today, he didn't have any goods in his heart at all.

In desperation, he had to talk a few words, using a vulgar joke in later generations to make everyone laugh, and then took the later Divine Comedy "Tun'er" to sell cuteness, and ridiculed Liu Tianwang.

Not to mention, the song "Tun'er" was really not covered when it became popular in later generations, and it actually achieved a good response at the scene, although the Xiangjiang people present couldn't understand what Lin Cheng was singing, but when Lin Chengwei imitated Andy Lau's voice and sang this divine comedy full of local flavor, everyone was happy, and laughter continued to sound one after another.

All in all, Lin Cheng's speech this time was very good, mainly to shorten the distance between the crew members, and everyone began to become familiar.

After the start-up worship ceremony, the filming did not start immediately, but the start-up press conference of "Infernal Affairs" was held.

With such a big production and such a strong cast of "Infernal Affairs", it is naturally impossible to be calm in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle.

Of course, the reason why these media are so popular is that in addition to the huge shock caused by the first cooperation between the two kings of "traffic" (Andy Lau and Liang Chaowei) since the break of the "Five Tiger Generals", Lin Cheng's first directing is a major news breaking point of the press conference.

How famous is Lin Cheng in Xiangjiang? Thanks to the well-developed media industry in Xiangjiang, Lin Cheng's fame can be described as being well-known in the streets.

Although Lin Cheng is not a star in the entertainment industry, he is the darling of social news and financial news, and Lin Cheng's wealth myth is a miracle worshiped by Xiangjiang people.

Compared with the star-studded stars of the major kings and queens at the press conference, to be honest, Lin Cheng is the biggest star present, the Xiangjiang place is so big, it is not strange for people to meet stars on the streets and alleys, but the huge wealth of eight billion yuan is something you can encounter casually if you want to meet it?

So after the news that Lin Cheng was going to direct the movie "Infernal Affairs" came out, the major media were like sharks smelling blood, and the whole Hong Kong went out and gathered together.

Eight-billionaire Lin Cheng is going to be the director of the movie "Infernal Affairs"?

This is the first reaction of the major media in Xiangjiang after getting the news, and when it is confirmed that the news is true, they think that Lin Cheng is about to be planted.

Originally, I thought that after he washed his hands and stopped getting involved in the financial market, the news about him would finally be able to stop for a while, but I didn't expect him to make a false shot, switch from financial news to entertainment news, and actually direct a movie. ”

"No matter what people say, they are also rich people with a net worth of 8 billion, and they can afford to play, even if the movie hits the street, it doesn't matter!"

"What's wrong with Xiangjiang movies over the years? Even some cats and dogs can mix into the entertainment industry and play the role of film directors?!" a reporter from Apple Daily said in a weird way.

"Yes, a nouveau riche from the mainland, does he know what a movie is?"

"I heard that he once made a commercial film in the mainland, maybe he thinks that making a movie is no different from making an advertisement!"

Lin Cheng directed the movie "Infernal Affairs", and most of the reporters' opinions were not optimistic, and there were voices of decline everywhere, and of course there was no lack of voices of support.

A Lin Cheng's brain-dead fan sister refuted: "You guys are too ugly to hear, I know that you are all jealous of Lin Cheng, jealous that Lin Cheng became an eight-billionaire at a young age, living on the top of the Taiping Mountain, where you will never be able to reach, your decline is just the barking of the loser's dog!"

Another brain-dead fan girl echoed: "As the saying goes, the capable can do anything, Lin Cheng is so good at finance, and it is definitely not a problem to play movies, his "Infernal Affairs" will definitely be a big explosion and blind your dog's eyes!"

In the face of Lin Cheng's brainless nonsense, everyone naturally disdained to argue with them, but responded with a "hehe" voice, and the angry two fan girls jumped to their feet again and again.

Not to mention how the reporters in the audience intrigue, the launch conference of "Infernal Affairs" began soon, for a movie, the press conference before the start of the film is also a very important publicity opportunity, as long as the press conference breaks out enough attractive news events, then the press conference can be regarded as a successful publicity, let potential movie audiences know in advance that there is such a drama as "Infernal Affairs" to start filming, and the cast lineup is very strong, there are Andy Lau and Liang Chaowei!

After potential moviegoers know the news, they feel that the cast of the movie is strong, and there is Andy Lau (Leung Chaowei), who they like very much, as the starring role, so they don't care whether the movie is good or not, as long as the movie is screened, they will still buy tickets to support their idols.

If few people knew that the movie was going to be logged into major theaters before the movie was released, then who would buy a ticket to see the movie?

Before taking the stage, Zeng Zhiwei was worried that Lin Cheng would be nervous when he participated in the start-up press conference for the first time, so he still told Lin Cheng a few more words, "Lin Sheng, if there are too tricky questions at the press conference, you can return the questions to me or not respond positively, in short, don't have conflicts with reporters, otherwise they will sing "Infernal Affairs" loudly." ”

Lin Cheng said disapprerovingly: "It doesn't matter, singing down is also a kind of propaganda, as long as the momentum is created, this is a good propaganda!"

Lin Cheng has long been familiar with reverse hype in later generations, such as Da Mi Mi such as Fan Shuangbing, they are the representatives of the blacker and more popular, no matter how much people hate them, they still make a lot of money and act in bad movies!

As long as there are enough topics to attract the audience to the cinema to watch "Infernal Affairs", Lin Cheng believes that the quality of "Infernal Affairs" will definitely surprise everyone, so what is today's singing decline?

Zeng Zhiwei was even more worried when he heard this, and he persuaded again: "Lin Sheng, this "Infernal Affairs" is our first work of Flying Eagle Entertainment, with a production cost of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and the actor's salary alone is more than 15 million, we absolutely can't afford to lose!"

Lin Cheng said perfunctorily when he heard this: "Okay, I will be cautious in my words and deeds later, and besides, the two kings of Andy Lau and Liang Chaowei are all present, maybe the reporter's focus is on the two kings, but I, the director, no one cares!"

Zeng Zhiwei thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense, this time the crew of "Infernal Affairs" gathered Andy Lau and Liang Chaowei, the two kings who almost never got along, the two kings joined hands again after the end of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" for more than ten years, and its highlights and news are very explosive, under the brilliance of the two kings, others should only be reduced to background boards, even if he is Lin Cheng, he will not be an exception.

Facts have proved that Lin Cheng and Zeng Zhiwei have miscalculated, and the breaking points of the news are all around Lin Cheng alone, and the two kings of "traffic" have become Lin Cheng's background board.

As soon as the host announced that the launch conference of "Infernal Affairs" had begun, a large number of reporters immediately flocked to Lin Cheng's side, and dozens of microphones almost stabbed Lin Cheng's mouth.

In order to ensure safety, more than a dozen security guards quickly dispatched and pushed all the reporters in front of Lin Cheng away, which calmed down the hot-headed reporters.

The host hurriedly stood up and said: "Please take the initiative to abide by the order of the press conference, if you have any questions, please raise your hand first, let's ask by name, please!"

Hearing the host reiterate the discipline of the press conference again, the reporters understood in seconds, and then raised their hands one after another, competing to ask questions.

Reporter A: "Mr. Lin Cheng, "Infernal Affairs" officially announced that you are not only the screenwriter of this play, but also the director of this drama, and looking back on Lin Sheng's directing experience, it is just an advertising film, what makes you so confident in directing the big production of "Infernal Affairs"?"

Lin Chengxin said that Lao Tzu is talented, but he said modestly: "Confidence mainly comes from the support of colleagues and colleagues, first of all, Brother Zhiwei will supervise the production of this drama, and I will also learn more shooting skills from Brother Zhiwei, in addition, I also invited Chen Weixiong and Liang Guohui, two directors with very sufficient experience in the industry, to serve as executive directors, which can fully ensure the quality of shooting." ”

In addition, the cast of "Infernal Affairs" is extremely strong, Wei Tsai is the Golden Horse and the Golden Statue actor, there is no need to say much about his acting skills, every look and every action is a play, Andy has debuted for more than ten years, and has also been nominated for the Academy Awards, it can be said that he is an old drama bone, as long as Andy persists and continues to work hard, I think Andy will win the Academy Award sooner or later. ”

"In addition to the two leading actors, Brother Zeng Zhiwei and Brother Dillon are both old actors with outstanding acting skills, and with so many old actors working together, I think this filming should be a huge enjoyment, and the filming process will be fast and smooth!"

Reporter B: "Mr. Lin Cheng, the name of "Infernal Affairs" is very peculiar, does it have any special meaning?"

When Lin Cheng heard this, he secretly gave 32 likes to reporter B, this is a good question! Lao Tzu's moment of pretending to be forced has finally come!

Lin Cheng flickered vigorously: "If you want to know why the title of this film is called "Infernal Affairs", you must first know the meaning of 'Infernal Affairs'." 'Infernal Hell' refers to Infernal Hell, and Infernal Hell is a special term that comes from Buddhist scriptures such as the Lotus Sutra, the Kusha Treatise, and the Xuanying Yinyi, and is also known as 'Abi Hell'. ”

"This hell is one of the eight hells in the Buddhist scriptures, and it is also the most bitter of the eight hells, as we call the bottom of the eighteen hells. It is said that those who are sent to the Infernal Hell are the most heinous people. They are in the Infernal Hell, never with any hope of liberation, and with no other feeling than suffering. The Infernal Hell is so vast and vast that the ghosts of the hell cannot be escaped, and they will suffer forever in the hell as the most vicious retribution in life. ”

"The title of this film is "Infernal Affairs", and the meaning is very profound. People whose identities are not supposed to belong to them, they almost live in an environment similar to Infernal Hell, and they are afraid that others will reveal their identities in their dreams. In this world, what is the truth of life and the truth of life, the confusion of the characters is also the director's in-depth discussion of this issue. There is no reincarnation in entering the Infernal Hell, only eternal suffering, but the two protagonists in the film are seeking reincarnation......"

Lin Cheng's ingenious answer suddenly made the atmosphere of the audience freeze, and everyone looked like they didn't understand what you were talking about, but they felt that you were so powerful.

After a long time, reporter C asked: "Mr. Lin Cheng, your profound knowledge of Buddhism is really shocking, are you a Buddhist believer?"

Lin Chengyu was not shocked: "No, I only know a little about Buddhism, in fact, I still have an identity, that is, a writer!"
