Chapter 200, Art-Life-Love

“…… When I saw Ah Lang pushing the motorcycle to the finish line with difficulty, blood flowing out of the helmet and running down his clothes, I really couldn't hold back my tears; The rest of the audience around me reacted like me, crying for this lovely man. Phoenix Culture has two more feature films to be released this summer, at least "City of Angels" should be a romance film, I don't know if it will make people cry again. I want to ask Mr. Mo, how many tears do you have to make the audience cry before you want to stop? ”

Zhong Chuhong took the newspaper he had just delivered, and after reading the film review of "Ah Lang's Story" above, he tilted his head to look at Mo Fei, who was shaving, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Mo, how many tears are you going to make the audience cry, and when will you stop?" ”

Mo Fei stretched out his hand and touched both sides of his cheek back and forth a few times, and after feeling satisfied, he washed his face again, and said while wiping it: "Whether the audience cries or not, I see that this film review is very good, which newspaper is this, which film critic is it, and the praise is so insignificant, I must thank him well." ”

As he spoke, he had already walked to Honggu's side, bent down and hugged Honggu from behind through a chair, rubbing his freshly shaved cheeks against Honggu's face, and said, "Are you going to go out to eat in the morning or eat at home?" ”

"What do you eat when you go out, and what do you eat at home?" Honggu raised her arm and gently stroked Mo Fei's hair, and asked rhetorically.

Until this moment, Mo Fei still had half of his mind left in the madness of the two of them last night, his mouth was close to Honggu's ear, and he said, "If you go out to eat, find a teahouse and see what is delicious." What if you eat it at home? You need to choose, first of all, you need to figure out where to eat and how to eat......"

"Ahh Dead pervert, put me down quickly......", halfway through the words, Honggu was picked up by Mo Fei and walked to the bedroom, at this time she still didn't know what Mo Fei was going to eat, and her hands and feet fluttered. Said: "What time is it, there are still many things to do in the morning, how can I have time to do hair in the afternoon if I can't finish it." Otherwise, how would you let me go to the press conference? ”

Mo Feicai didn't care about her, he didn't have the final say on anything in the entire Phoenix culture, he still walked to the bedroom with Honggu in his arms, and said, "I've said it all." You are the most beautiful. Where is the need to deliberately dress up, the Jingchai cloth skirt is better than the stunning three thousand, where did you run away when you overwhelmed Liang Fengyi's momentum with red makeup? ”

It is said that Honggu was born in an ordinary trader's family, and her family background was not so good, until she gradually became popular in the eighties, and the economic situation improved.

Leung Fong-yee, who introduced the Filipino maid to Hong Kong, was later the financial fiction writer, although she herself was from a civilian background. When she was studying in the United States, she had to work several jobs in Chinese restaurants to pay for her tuition, but after she became rich. Maybe it's because I'm too ugly, so I've always despised a "play" like Honggu.

Once Honggu was invited to participate in a drinking party, but at that time, Honggu had just run for Miss Hong Kong, and she had not yet made a lot of money, so of course she couldn't take out any decent jewelry to support the scene.

After many years of the incident, Liang Fengyi continued to be sour, and even insinuated and attacked Honggu with scathing and harsh words in her book: In order to avoid shabby, the actress simply dressed up like Monroe, wearing a cheap white dress and white plastic earrings to fight against the jewels and diamonds of the ladies and ladies.

However, Honggu is Honggu, Monroe has been acting all her life, but Zhong Chuhong only does herself, she is beautiful, he is pure, she always knows what is most suitable for her.

Liang Fengyi is always angry about "my father and mother gave me 'talent' but did not give me beauty at the same time, why the world 'enjoys' my 'talent' and still demands my appearance", and keeps complaining by hitting others.

But she didn't think that Honggu could wear cheap white dresses with taste, without the help of gemstones, beauty is beauty, you can't help but admit defeat, I'm afraid that you won't be able to do a Monroe if you die.

As a person known as the economic community, she didn't understand at all that Honggu could wear the most beautiful feeling of Jingchai cloth skirt, which was actually creating value, but she couldn't observe this value at all. (That's what happened, slightly biased, but basically true.) )

didn't say anything else, and said that Honggu listened to Mo Fei's words, rolled her big eyes and rolled Mo Fei twice, and said: "How can I not dress up, there is never a shortage of beauties in the entertainment industry, you can like this today, and take a fancy to that tomorrow, maybe I'm still young and beautiful now, but in another ten or twenty years, I will be an old woman by then......"

"Smack", Mo Fei directly threw Honggu on the bed, raised his hand and slapped her buttocks, making her words stop, and said: "It's better that you are talking nonsense, my feelings are not complete I admit it, but I will never like the new and hate the old." Uncle, I have worked so hard to get you, is it enough to occupy you for only twenty years? Don't forget that I'm still a businessman, how can I do this kind of loss-making business, even if you like someone else, you can't leave until I die. ”

One sentence is so tough, but it is better than a thousand words of small tenderness, Honggu heard that her heart and body were so soft that she didn't even have the strength to hold back her eyelids, so she had to let Mo Fei do whatever she wanted.

So this morning, the two of them didn't even go out, they didn't go to any work, programs, interviews, etc., so they did that at home.

It wasn't until after noon that the two of them hastily cleaned up, had a simple lunch, and hurriedly dared to arrive at the press conference site of "Farewell My Concubine".

Seeing Honggu's outfit today, the reporters' eyes "lit up", Honggu did not wear a piece of jewelry today, nor did she deliberately take care of her hair, her shirt was paired with jeans, and a pair of sailor shoes were under her feet. This kind of Zhong Chuhong makes people have a sense of familiarity that they haven't seen for a long time, isn't this exactly the copy of when she first debuted a few years ago, but it is a little more mature and charming than then.

There's definitely a story here. What do journalists eat, and even if they have thick nerves after a long time, they will be trained to be extremely sensitive. Otherwise, you can still be called a qualified journalist.

"Miss Zhong's outfit today is so fresh, it seems that you haven't appeared in this image for a long time in your memory, is there any reason?" After Chen Pu, the host of the press conference, said that he could start asking questions, one of the most sensitive reporters in the audience asked first.

Hongguxiang shrugged her shoulders and said, "Then I'm really sorry, in fact, I wear it like this the most, maybe you just care about finding me at another time." Ignore that. But today we're going to talk about movies, so let's put unrelated topics first. ”

Such a domineering answer really sets off Honggu's current identity. Honggu is the star who keeps up with the pace of the development of Phoenix culture, and the current audience market is basically outside Hong Kong, North America is of course the first, followed by Europe. And then for example, Southeast Asia, Japan, etc. The influence of the Hong Kong media on her is already very small, and if it weren't for the fact that Hong Kong is the base of Phoenix culture, she would not have held this press conference.

Journalists, who had just been beaten with chicken blood, now had to suppress their excitement and start asking questions about the theme of today's press conference, hoping to find something that would stimulate the readers.

It's just that the gap between ideals and reality is too big, after all, this is a press conference for a movie, and the next process did not allow reporters to catch any "passionate" content from Honggu. The really interesting topics actually got some from Mo Fei.

The movie "Farewell My Concubine" must have involved the issue of homosexuality, and it was not raised by reporters. The question of what his attitude is towards homosexuality is a source of interest for journalists.

"For homosexuality, my personal attitude is not to participate in or oppose it, and people have not broken the law, why blame it, if you have the energy, it is better to pay attention to whether there is corruption of officials or judges who are favoritism, and then you can accuse him of breaking the law."

"So Mr. Mo, what is your understanding of the word 'offense'?"

"Hehe, your question is actually not within the scope of today's press conference, but I'll make an exception to answer you. In my opinion, there are no more than two aspects of breaking the law, one is life and the other is money, and breaking the law is plundering others, plundering other people's lives and money. You may think that it is not necessarily, then you think carefully about all the legal provisions, theft, fraud, robbery, all these crimes, including reputation damage, are all related to money; Killing, poisoning, maiming, injuring, and mental harm, etc., are these related to life? ”

This additional topic obviously could not be asked any further, and the reporters had to return to the movie itself: "Director Li, the Chinese title of this film is "Farewell to the Overlord", why don't you use the English title 'Dying-fo-King-and-Concubine' or 'Death-to-separate-the-king-and-concubine', these have intuitive explanations, but use ' What about a title like 'Drama.Life.Love'? ”

This title was not changed by Li Hanxiang, and he didn't have any research on this, so he waved his hand and said: "You asked the wrong person this question, the producer of this film is Mr. Mo Fei, and the script was also adapted by him, you should ask him?" ”

Mo Fei nodded and took over the words, and said: "This question is actually very simple, the two titles you mentioned 'The King and the Princess of Life and Death' and 'Death Separates the King and the Princess', including the more popular 'Farewell-to-My-Concubine', these can explain the meaning of the words 'Farewell My Concubine', but our movie is not about Xiang Yu and Yu Ji, but about Duan Xiaolou, Cheng Dieyi and Ju Xian, what we want to talk about is related to love, A person falls in love with someone else because he falls in love with his own art, some of the artistic conceptions are the same, but the essence of the story is different.

Cheng Dieyi was trapped in his own art world and couldn't extricate himself, so he fell in love with his senior brother Duan Xiaolou, and Juxian attacked or protected Cheng Dieyi because he loved Duan Xiaolou. Cheng Dieyi paid for love and died for love; Duan Xiaolou was confused because of love and succumbed because of love; But the thread that connects them is the art of theater. That's why we titled the film "Drama. Life. Love" is a name that better reflects the content of the film. ”

In the original history, the English title of "Farewell My Concubine" was called "Farewell-to-My-Concubine" - goodbye my princess, such a name is full of oriental flavor, there are too many twists and turns in it, foreigners can't understand what it means here, because they don't know what Xiang Yu and Yu Ji are up to, so Mo Fei would rather add a clip at the beginning of the film dedicated to the play "Farewell My Concubine", Let the ghost audience understand what game Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou are playing, the movie is not finished after buying tickets, but also so that the audience can understand it, otherwise no one will watch your next movie.

Thinking of this, Mo Fei felt that he still had to add two more sentences, and said, "Since I have already said this, I will say two more words." There is a big difference between the understanding of local culture between Western audiences and us Easterners, and it is the same when it comes to movies. If we make a movie and use a title with a strong oriental flavor for Westerners to understand, first of all, the appeal of the film is reduced by half; If the content of the film is also difficult for the audience to understand, then half of the audience who have seen it will think that the movie is not good. Let's think about what kind of results the box office of this movie will be if the cycle continues like this.

If we want the film to be recognized and liked by the audience, and to say good things about the film, we must consider it from their point of view, and to put it bluntly, we will do what they like. For example, the teacher asked Xiao Ming what his ideals were when he grew up, and if Xiao Ming said it was money and women, then needless to say, I would be rude if I was a teacher; But if Xiao Ming's answer is career and love, how can the teacher not praise him. The meaning is almost the same as two answers, one sounding high-sounding and the other obscene, and the result is completely different. ”

Could it be that this little joke made behind really amused everyone, and his understanding of breaking the law, homosexuality, and movies also made many people have some new understanding of these things, which turned out to be like this.

The press conference went well, although some of them, such as asking Honggu about Wu Yusen who almost blew up a building in Singapore, and what he was fined millions of dollars, were also minor issues, and maybe they could make a promotion for "Die Hard".

The only thing that didn't make Mo Fei a little unhappy was that he received a phone call, the fourth lady of the He family, He Chaoqiong, was going to visit him at Phoenix Culture, and at the time of the press conference, Mo Fei didn't have time to talk to her, so he could only agree very reluctantly, and he didn't know what tricks this Miss He was going to play.
