Hong Kong is a place full of contradictions, as a British colony, it has preserved the most complete traditional Chinese culture for thousands of years, and has the economic values of the Western world.

This also makes it possible for you to experience all kinds of convenience and information brought by modern social and economic development in Hong Kong, and also to see some feudal and traditional cultures that are more conservative than those in the mainland.

Hong Kong people's belief in ghosts and metaphysics was rare in the mainland in the 80s, when ghosts and metaphysics were absolutely unacceptable.

In Hong Kong, on the contrary, the influence of ghosts and metaphysics has penetrated into all aspects of people's daily life, whether it is the worship of gods at a fixed time or the seemingly illusory feng shui theory, etc., which are very common things in Hong Kong.

And Hong Kong movies are obviously no exception, in order to make the filming of the movie go smoothly, almost all Hong Kong film and television works, before the start of production, the producer will hold a grand worship ceremony.

Although Jiang Ran was influenced by the soul values of his previous life, he didn't believe in these things too much, but in order to maintain the smooth operation of the crew, he didn't dare to break some rules at will.

Even if he is now a big figure in the Hong Kong film industry, he can determine the life and death and future of many people in one word, but in an environment like Hong Kong, it is impossible for Jiang Ran to break these conventions and habits in a different way.

Of course, Jiang Ran didn't think about changing this habit in the past, after all, a worship ceremony is not much for the production company, and it does not affect the filming of the movie, so there is no need to change it at all.

Under the organization of Du Qifeng, the worship ceremony began quickly, which was not much different from the opening ceremonies of Jiang Ran's previous films, it was still those procedures, but there were more media reporters on the scene.

The start-up ceremony went smoothly, without any accidents, after a whole set of processes was completed, Jiang Ran temporarily handed over the crew to To Qifeng, and he took Zhong Chuhong and other main creators to the press conference site that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Hello everyone!" the host said with a smile, "Welcome to Mr. Jiang Ran's new film launch conference." ”

"Let's invite Mr. Jiang Ran and several of the main creators of the movie. The host turned sideways to invite Jiang Ran and the others, who were waiting on the side.

Hearing this, Jiang Ran smiled and walked up to the temporary rostrum, and sat down first in the middle position, and only after everyone sat down did he greet with a smile: "Hello everyone! I am Jiang Ran, and everyone should not be too unfamiliar." Thank you all for joining us today. ”

Jiang Ran said, looked at the reporters who were about to move in the audience, and said again: "I don't think everyone will be unfamiliar with these people on the stage. The producer of our film, Ms. Shi Nansheng, and the heroine of the movie, Miss Zhong Chuhong. In addition, our Wu Mengda and Ren Dahua will also play important roles in the movie. ”

"This new film is mainly about the story of a killer couple. I hope to show the state of marriage in modern society through this somewhat aggressive couple who are different. ”

"In addition, in this movie, in addition to the role of director, I will also partner with Ah Hong as the leading actor, appearing on the big screen in the real sense for the first time. I also hope that all media friends will be merciful when the time comes. ”

Jiang Ran said to the end, grinning and clenching his fists and saying to the reporters below who were in a commotion.

Jiang Ran may have his own movie, there have been such rumors before, but not many people in the outside world believe it, after all, in this era, although the actor's income and exposure are good, his social status is not very high.

In the eyes of many older generations and those elites, actors and artists, who show up to entertain the audience, although they no longer have a low social status like the actors in the old society, they are by no means a noble profession.

On the one hand, at this time, the income of actors was not very high, and there was no seven- or eight-figure salary in later society; on the other hand, many Hong Kong actors at this time actually did not have much formal higher education before becoming famous.

As a society that has been greatly influenced by Western culture, Hong Kong's concept of money and elite society is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and those who really have status will definitely not look too highly at actors, even those superstars.

You must know that in the current Hong Kong society, no Hong Kong actor dares to say that he is a wealthy family, even if he marries into a wealthy family, there is only one successful example like Zhu Lingling.

Moreover, others were still favored by the Huo family as soon as they debuted, and basically quit the showbiz after getting married.

And now, Jiang Ran, a new rich man in Hong Kong and a billionaire with a net worth of tens of billions, suddenly announced that he was going to star in his own movies as an actor.

Such an outrageous behavior will naturally attract public attention and discussion, and for journalists, this is extremely valuable news material.

"Mr. Jiang, do you really want to star in this movie yourself?"

"Mr. Jiang, why did you make such a decision?"

"Mr. Jiang......"

Jiang Ran looked at the chaotic scene in the audience, smiled and said again: "Please be quiet! As he spoke, he motioned to the host on the side to come out and organize the order of the scene.

Under Jiang Ran's intervention, the order of the scene was finally restored, and under the name of the host, "Tiantian Daily" got the first opportunity to ask questions as its own person.

"Mr. Jiang, what prompted you to make the decision to star in the movie yourself? After all, don't you think it's a little inappropriate to appear in the front desk and entertain the public with your current status?"

"I'm a filmmaker. Most of my current wealth and identity comes from movies, so I don't think there's anything wrong with me acting in movies. ”

"Of course, compared to Chow Yun-fat, if I am the protagonist of the movie, there is indeed something wrong with my appearance. But seeing that Sanmao and Ah Long can be popular all over Asia, and Cen Jianxun can also be popular on the big screen, I think it doesn't seem to be a big deal for me to come out and act in movies. Huh—"

When Jiang Ran said this, he couldn't help laughing first, speaking of the current Hong Kong film and television industry, in terms of actors, in general, he is really sorry for the audience.

At a glance, the most famous actors, whether it is Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan in the stars, or Mai Jia and Xu Guanwen in comedians, are actually not very outstanding in terms of appearance.

I don't want to be in the future, at a glance in the entertainment industry, it's either a handsome guy or a pretty girl, and they're all fucking about the same style.

After making a joke, Jiang Ran continued: "When I first wrote this script, I didn't plan to play it myself, but Ah Hong always wanted to work with me in the movie once, so I finally made the decision to play this role myself. ”

Jiang Ran looked at Zhong Chuhong with love as he spoke, as if in response to Jiang Ran's words, Zhong Chuhong also looked at Jiang Ran with a happy smile in shyness, and the whole press conference suddenly became warm, and the pink breath came to his face.

It's just that what these reporters at the scene didn't know was that in a place they couldn't see, Zhong Chuhong's two fingers were 'gently caressing' Jiang Ran's thighs, making Jiang Ran almost scream.

"Cough!" The host coughed kissingly, interrupting the warm atmosphere of the scene, Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got rid of Zhong Chuhong's two-finger Zen.

The press conference continued.

"The amount of investment in this film? There are many thermal weapons and action scenes in this film, and some exterior scenes need to be filmed abroad, so the investment is relatively high, and the initial budget is about 10 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

"When will the movie be released? Well, it should be released in time for the Spring Festival. ”

"Will it be distributed in North America and Europe? Aren't you talking nonsense? We at Ranfeng Group now have complete distribution channels all over the world, and of course my new film will be distributed in North America and other places. ”

"Sun Hung Kai Bank? I'm sorry! Today is the launch of my new movie, and I'm not going to answer questions that have nothing to do with the movie. ”

"Of course I'm very happy to partner with Ah Hong in a movie for the first time, but there are not many opportunities like this. It's going to be a completely different experience than what we're used to. ”

"Well, I did worry about my acting skills. However, when I think about it later, as a creator and director of film scripts, I know better than anyone what the role is, and I know what kind of protagonist I need for my film, so it will help me immensely in my performance. ”

"In addition, this film is wholly owned by our company, and I will not consider the cost caused by NG, so the audience does not have to worry about the impact of my acting skills on the quality of the film. Please feel free to go to the cinema to watch the movie at that time, and I will definitely bring you a wonderful performance. ”
