Chapter 224: Donnie Yen vs. Tony Jaa.
"Hello Director Ye, I like your movies very much, there is a question I have always wanted to ask you, but I have never had a chance?"
"Thank you for this friend's love, thank you, if you have any questions, just ask!"
The audience interaction session lasted for more than ten minutes, Donnie Yen, Gu Tianle, Fan Binbin and others interacted with their respective fans, and Donnie Yen also made two moves with an audience, although it was just for show!.
And Ye Weixin, as a director, was not left out in the cold, and this audience seems to be his loyal fan.
"Director Ye, you started with supernatural films, and then wandered between literary films and alternative murder films, but in the past three years, you have successively played your own Ye's action movie signature with "Slaying the Wolf", "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Fuse", why did you have such a change, and will you continue to shoot action movies in the future?"
"Actually, I've been trying different directing styles, hoping to be seen by more audiences, and I may not always shoot action movies in the future, but also try other genres!" Ye Weixin said with a smile.
Before "Slaying the Wolf" in 2005, Ye Weixin could only sit next to the leading actor and was treated as a transparent person, and once when he held a premiere, he reluctantly said: "It's normal for mainland audiences not to know me, because I don't have works like "Infernal Affairs".
Since then, Ye Weixin has completely changed his direction and transformed into a commercial action film director.
"Hello Director Ye, I have read a lot of your works, but this "Fuse" makes me feel a completely different style. In "Slaying the Wolf", Hong Jinbao's little warmth in the end turned out to be a foreshadowing for the next stage of violence, which made me think that you are a paranoid and desperate person. ”
"In "Cracked Criminal Police", I can see the poetic violence again, and the warm Wu Zhenyu died coldly in front of the Coke machine. ”
"Similarly, I saw in "Liang Shanbo and Juliet" a hope that is colder than iced Coke, the so-called love between Wu Zhenyu and Wu Junru, all that is left is bitter memories and sadness!"
However, although the action scenes of your "Fuse" are very popular, it conveys a very upward idea to the audience throughout the whole story, just as Donnie Yen said on the streets of Xiangjiang at the end, I have not arrested anyone wrong when I have been a police officer for so many years, I will leave this question to the judge to answer. My mission is... The police catch the thieves, everything I do is for the stability and prosperity of this city!"
"And in the end, Gu Tianle and Fan Binbin are safe and sound, it is completely a happy ending, may I ask Director Ye why do you set it up like this?"
Ye Weixin's face changed slightly after listening to the audience's tirade, and he immediately regained a smile, "As a way of cultural communication, I think film must convey positive energy to the audience and let the audience see the beautiful side......"
There are a lot of formula-like speeches in Balabala, but Ye Weixin doesn't want to shoot what he wants to shoot in his heart.
"Slaying the Wolf" was banned from being released in the mainland because it was too depressing and too dark, even though the reputation was good, the investor lost a lot of money.
Back then, Johnny To said to Ye Weixin after filming "Thin Men and Women": "I can only auction a movie now, so that I can make a real movie of my own, because the movie I really want to make must not be a blockbuster." ”
Then "Thin Men and Women" sold 40.43 million box office in Xiangjiang, plus "Diet Men and Women", which was also starring Liu Dehua and Zheng Xiuwen the year before, stabilized the annual box office champion of Xiangjiang with a box office of 35.21 million, and he was qualified to make the movie he wanted to make, even if the box office was not high!
In fact, he prepared two versions of this "Fuse", and in the other version, when Zhou Zhaolong and Donnie Yen were halfway through the singles, Zhou Zhaolong's somewhat demented mother came, which was even more humane.
But it didn't take long for this faint human touch to disappear with Zhou Zhaolong being killed by Donnie Yen, this is his style.
"Hello Director Ye, the villains in "The Fuse" are the three brothers of Yue Nanlai, the second one with the strongest skills is called Tony, and the eldest is called Brother Scum, and now I have realized that "Fuse" is about Donnie Yen vs. Tony Jaa (Tony scum)!" After speaking, he couldn't help laughing.
"Haha......"
"Donnie Yen vs. Tony Jia, this can be had!"
"It's so talented, you can think of it!"
"Awesome!"
"But Tony Jia is really powerful, I don't know who can fight better with Donnie Yen!"
The audience's bizarre brain circuit immediately caused a burst of laughter, and a considerable number of people who were able to attend the screening were action movie lovers, and Tony Jia has become popular all over the world with the "Boxer" series in recent years, and has been praised by action movie lovers around the world for his new traditional Muay Thai style fights.
This made Ye Weixin speechless for a while, and he took a name casually, but he didn't expect that there were people who could associate it so far, so crooked!
At this time, a reporter in the audience suddenly raised his hand, and without waiting for Ye Weixin to speak, he immediately stood up and asked, "Tony Jia and Donnie Yen are the most famous action stars in the entire Southeast Asia after Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, Director Chen thinks who is more powerful in the actual combat between the two of them?"
"Martial arts training is not for the sake of fighting in the ring, they are all very good action actors, and there is no difference between high and low!"
Action stars are always easy not to compare with each other, Ye Weixin didn't care, and said lightly.
"Is it possible that Director Ye will cooperate with Tony Jia in the future, or invite Tony Jia and Donnie Yen to appear together in the same movie?" the reporter asked again.
"Tony Ja is a very good actor and I'm looking forward to working with him, and in two years we are ready to launch a sequel to Kill the Wolf, and we may invite him to join at that time!"
"The sequel to "Slaying the Wolf"? is it real, I'm looking forward to it!"
"I haven't been able to see "Slaying the Wolf" on the big screen, but if there is a sequel, I must support it!"
"Donnie Yen and Tony Jia, as well as Wu Jing, the three of them must be very exciting!"
"I'm really looking forward to it, I don't know what it will look like!"
The news revealed by Ye Weixin made the action movie lovers at the scene excited, and the two major domestic stars united with Muay Thai master Tony Jia, that scene is very touching when you think about it!
The audience's discussion did not stop the reporter from asking questions, and another reporter got up and said, "Hello Director Ye, why didn't Liu Dong, the other protagonist of the movie, show up?"
The reporter's short words made Ye Weixin and Donnie Yen's faces change at the same time, but they immediately returned to normal.
"Liu Dong is currently busy with another movie, and he doesn't have time for the time being, but he will meet the audience on the day of the movie's premiere!"
