Meng Jing returned to the magazine and reported the press conference to the editor-in-chief. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

She is now the counterpart reporter of Good Dreams, and she is responsible for the entertainment news of Good Dreams.

The series of articles in "The Life of Literature and Art" has been well received by readers and has been reprinted by many media, and is known for its delicate writing, detailed content, and novel angles.

Meng Jing's fame in the entertainment circle has increased greatly.

Before the development of online media, the influence of print media should not be underestimated, and people were accustomed to reading newspapers and magazines rather than learning about the world through computers.

Good Dreams has provided a lot of internal information, such as the overseas distribution of a certain film, the stills of the actors, and the identification of the authenticity of various entertainment news.

A lot of information is inaccessible to outsiders.

This makes Meng Jing's report more real and powerful, in exchange, do not appear negative news about Good Dream Company in the report, sarcasm and ridicule are okay, not slander and smear.

This is a normal phenomenon in circles.

After Meng Jing reported on the main characters of the Good Dream Company, he set his sights on young actors.

For example, Huang Xiaoming, Liu Tao, Gao Yuanyuan and Huang Bo have emerged in the past two years.

The title of the star factory of Good Dream Company is worthy of its name, and it became popular with a group of actors in the nineties, such as Yu Feihong, Xu Jinglei and Zhang Jiayi.

Meng Jing looked at the actor's information and noticed a phenomenon.

Several of the actors who have become popular in the past two years are the same agent, especially Zhao Liying, a child star who is going international.

She didn't pay much attention to her agent in the past, and the agent was behind the scenes, not the focus of entertainment news.

Now too, she was just curious.

In September, Good Dreams held a test screening, inviting film critics and journalists to watch "Infernal Affairs" as part of the publicity that spread the film's word-of-mouth through them.

Under normal circumstances, film companies will only have a preview screening if they are confident in the quality of the film.

If the film is so bad that critics are embarrassed to brag about it after watching it, then there is no point.

Meng Jing participated in the test screening and had a sneak peek.

She found that although this "Infernal Affairs" is under the banner of a police film and a gang movie, it is a relatively quiet film, without that kind of hot action and gunfight scenes.

It is not accurate to say quiet, it should be tense and suspenseful, focusing on psychological portrayal.

Entering this circle, Meng Jing has read countless films, and he can be regarded as half a film critic, "Infernal Affairs" is different from Xiangjiang gang films, it is an unconventional movie.

If it's an audience who comes for the intense excitement, I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed.

The whole film is full of sadness, two undercover agents struggling in their respective worlds and cannot be relieved.

Meng Jing is a literary young woman, who usually likes to watch literary films, drink coffee, and has a petty bourgeois atmosphere, which is slightly hypocritical.

This film is in line with her appetite, the two stars of Lau Dehua and Liang Chaowei provoked the big beam, in comparison, she prefers Liang Chaowei's performance.

The acting skills of several supporting roles are bursting with tension, which sets off the atmosphere.

She paid special attention to Huang Bo, who was not inferior to a group of Xiangjiang actors, and performed her own characteristics.

The test screening will show the mainland version, and Huang Bo's role is very full, with a complete story line, which is a foreshadowing for the filming of the sequel.

Meng Jing has a hunch that this movie will become popular.

Mainland audiences have a special affection for Hong Kong films, and "Infernal Affairs" carries the pure genes of Hong Kong films, making a breakthrough in narrative, giving people a refreshing feeling.

As soon as Liu Dehua and Leung Chaowei appeared, they were full of memories, which were memories of the glory of Hong Kong films in the 80s.

"Infernal Affairs" wants stars to have stars, plots to have plots, acting skills, and feelings, basically nothing to find fault with.

If there is really a regret, it is that the actress has little role in the play and has become a vase.

The others who participated in the test screening felt the same, and generally believed that this was a well-made and excellent Hong Kong film.

However, "Infernal Affairs" received mixed reviews at the time of the test screening in Xiangjiang.

Xiangjiang filmmakers are familiar with the routines of police and gangster films, and "Infernal Affairs" does not follow the routines.

According to everyone's thoughts, with such a big investment and so many celebrities, there must be scenes of speeding car chases and explosions, but I didn't expect that even the gunfight scenes were pitiful.

They very much did not understand how such a shot could attract the audience.

At the end of the film screening, everyone applauded warmly.

The members of the crew of "Infernal Affairs" took the stage to express their gratitude, and only the director, Lau Dehua and Leung Chaowei, as well as Huang Bo as a supporting role, were promoted in the mainland.

As soon as they sat down on the stage, a reporter asked the question they were most concerned about.

"In the past, when we watched Xiangjiang's police and gang films, we would see a lot of stunt pictures, but there are almost none in this drama, may I ask the director, what do you think?" the reporter asked.

"This film mainly expresses the drama between people, and will not deliberately do stunts, we have more than ten minutes of stunts, but you can't see it, it's not flying, hitting, exploding, etc., it's all matched to the play, such as the opening of the film to explain the meaning of "Infernal Affairs", the picture is very beautiful. The director explained.

"Which part do you like the most?" the reporter asked.

"The most satisfying thing is that all aspects are well coordinated, maybe you can't see it the first time, but you will find more and more things when you chew carefully, such as music, this time I found an unprecedented choir of 100 people in the capital, as well as photography, and many things are coordinated. The director responded.

"Is there any pressure on the two of you to cooperate?" the reporter asked Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei.

"Now that the world is so bad, Boss Lin is willing to fund and match us to make a movie again in ten years, it's really rare, we have no pressure, the pressure is on Boss Lin. Liu Dehua joked.

It's easy for them to deal with journalists.

After the test screening, the response was good, and mainland film critics were more likely to accept a film of the type "Infernal Affairs", and if it was really made into a gunfight action scene, they felt that it was not new.

Hong Kong filmmakers focus on commercialization, while the mainland is more inclined to artistry.

Meng Jing saw Huang Bo walking out of the theater with a girl, she stepped forward and introduced herself.

"Huang Bo, hello, I'm a reporter from Sanlian, can I give you an interview?" Meng Jing suggested.

Huang Bo looked at Meng Jing and then at the girl beside him.

"Hello, I am Huang Bo's agent, and his interview was arranged by me. Xiao Ye continued, "Can you leave your contact information?" I will make an appointment with you later." ”

Xiao Ye knew that this female reporter could be invited to participate in the test screening of "Infernal Affairs", which showed that she had a good relationship with the company, so she didn't say anything to death.

She was in the UK for three months, and she just came back, so she didn't know Meng Jing and wanted to inquire.

"Okay, here's my business card. Meng Jing handed over the business card.

The two exchanged business cards and separated.
