Chapter 963: De Niro's Guarantee
At the premiere of "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds", when Song Zheng and Zhang Jing first appeared, fans on both sides of the red carpet aisle suddenly let out a burst of screams, including fans from China and the United States.
Song Zheng's previous two works have laid a solid foundation for him in Hollywood, especially "Inception", which has captured the hearts of countless fans for him.
Although the early publicity of "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" has been widely questioned, this has not affected Song Zheng's popularity as a cutting-edge Hollywood director in the slightest.
Zhang Jingchu is the first time to appear in a real Hollywood movie, but the two "Hurricane Rescue" she starred in before also landed in North America, which has also accumulated a lot of popularity for her.
Walking into the cinema, Song Zheng and Zhang Jingchu first came to the interview area, before "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" was questioned by so multimedia, but unfortunately the main owner was not there, and there were not many news points that the media could discover, and now that the protagonist has arrived, the reporters can't bear it.
As soon as Song Zheng and Zhang Jingchu stood still, some reporters raised their hands to ask questions, although Song Zheng has always looked down on media reporters, but he also knows that this is not his territory, and if he wants "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" to have a good box office result, these reporters must not be offended.
"Director Song!"The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" has not yet been released, and it has already ushered in countless doubts, what do you think of the prospects of this work!?"
Song Zheng had already prepared before he came, and he was not annoyed when he heard the words, so he organized his language a little, and said: "This reporter just said that the voice of doubt, I'm sorry, I really don't know how to answer you, because I really don't know how these voices of doubt appeared, all I can hear is the voice of discrimination." ”
Discrimination!
Damn, this Chinese kid is really powerful, and he has to throw fierce materials as soon as he comes up!
"What is the basis of those so-called doubts? The movie has not yet been released, has not yet been tested by the market, those people can't wait to raise doubts, yes, I think this is discrimination, they question my work only because I am a Chinese, those people think that Chinese can't make good movies, in fact, my previous two works, as well as my other film works that landed in the United States, have proved that I, a Chinese, can make good works!"
"Director Song, you just mentioned your previous works, indeed, whether it is "True Lies" or "Inception", I also like these two works very much, but your work this time is a literary film, I want to ask, what made you suddenly give up the subject matter you are good at?"
When "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" was promoted before, someone said that the reason why Song Zheng bothered to drum up a literary film was just to impact the Oscars.
In this regard, Song Zheng also attracted a lot of ridicule, people generally think that Song Zheng is wishful thinking, not to mention that China has no soil for literary films to survive, and Chinese directors also lack the ability to create literary films, even if this "Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" is really good, is it difficult for Song Zheng to really plan to knock on the door of the Oscars with such a movie, and conquer those judges?
Dream on!
"The subject matter that I am good at, this Mr. reporter, I don't even know that I am still good at the subject matter, it seems that you didn't do your homework well before you came today, if you are familiar with my past, you should know that I don't have the so-called theme that I am good at, no matter what the theme of the movie, I am willing to try, and my previous two works in Hollywood are not the same theme, right? "True Lies" is a gunfight action movie, and "Inception"? It's a science fiction film, and since no one has ever limited me to one subject matter, why not try a literary film now?"
Without waiting for other reporters to ask questions, Song Zheng continued: "Also, everyone may have forgotten that I won the Best Actor Award in Cannes and Berlin before, and I starred in a literary film at that time!"
The reporter who asked the question just now had a feeling of being slapped in the face, he originally planned to use this topic to laugh at Song Zheng's incompetence, but he forgot that Song Zheng once won the double actor in Berlin and Cannes, and the double actor!
There are so many so-called international superstars in Hollywood who have been recognized by the three major European ones, not to mention that one person has won two acting awards.
As he spoke, Robert De Niro, who played the role of Pat's father in the film, also arrived, and in Hollywood, Robert De Niro's fame was obviously much greater than that of Song Zheng, and the reporters immediately adjusted their firepower.
Around Robert De Niro, the more concentrated question is why the old man took this movie, not only can he only play a supporting role in the film, but the director is also a Chinese.
"I don't agree with your unreasonable questioning!" Robert De Niro, who is worthy of being the most charismatic actor in Hollywood, always has a friendly smile on his face even when he refutes, "The quality of a movie does not depend on the nationality of the director, I say this, who thinks it is wrong!?"
Just kidding, even if someone really thinks so, they won't say it here, otherwise, a big hat of discrimination is buttoned down, and who can stand it, even though white people really discriminate against all people of color.
Robert De Niro continued: "Director Song is a genius, a genius director, and a genius screenwriter, the reason why I took this role is completely attracted by this story, this is a story that will make people feel warm, I have heard similar arguments to my media friends who are doing it before, thinking that I am dizzy when I appear in this movie, and this movie will make me lose my old age, but I want to say today that as an actor who has been engaged in acting for decades, I vouch for my personality, " The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds is definitely an excellent movie that won't disappoint any viewer who walks into the cinema!"
Hearing the old man say this, not only the reporters present, but even Song Zheng was taken aback.
This old man is too powerful!
Just said this to the old man, and the salary was worth it back.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lionsgate staff stepped forward to terminate the media interview.
When they walked into the screening hall together, Robert De Niro suddenly stopped, winked at Song Zheng, and said with a smile: "There is only so much I can do, what happens next, but it depends on the audience's evaluation of this work!"
Song Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It won't disappoint anyone, I promise!"
