Chapter 1039: Building Momentum

Liu Zhenwei didn't know what to do, all of this was discussed by Lin Youlun and the White Dragon King in advance.

In order to make this play more realistic, Lin Youlun even took the lead in becoming a "believer" of the White Dragon King, and took the lead in kneeling in front of the White Dragon King at the opening ceremony to accept the blessings of the other party.

The reporters in the audience were dumbfounded, but Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei on the stage looked solemn.

Because just now, the White Dragon King sent each of them a word, and without exception, he said some secrets in their hearts.

This hand suppressed Liu Dehua and the others, but when Lin Youlun looked at the White Dragon King again, there was a little more doubt in his eyes.

The White Dragon King had made it clear before that there was nothing special about him after he crossed over, but the current situation made Lin Youlun suspect that this guy was not completely telling the truth to himself.

Of course, everyone has their own secrets in their hearts, just like Lin Youlun did not confess to the White Dragon King, it is normal for the White Dragon King to have reservations. As long as this person can be used for himself, Lin Youlun has no intention of investigating the truth of the part of the truth he has concealed.

"Mr. Lin, please get up."

The White Dragon King stretched out his hand to help Lin Youlun up, and a group of main creators kneeling behind him also stood up.

The media reporters in the audience held back their questions, and finally managed to get to the free question session, and almost every main creator was stuffed with seven or eight microphones in their hands.

The first person to get the opportunity to ask questions was still the reporter of "Ming Pao", and it was the middle-aged man who stood up and was surrounded by everyone outside the gate of the studio to inquire about the news.

"Mr. Lin, the outside world is very surprised, why would you choose to invest in shooting a gangster film at this time. Can you tell us a little bit about why you decided to make this film? ”

Originally, everyone thought that "Ming Pao" should lead the topic to the White Dragon King. Because there are only a few people present. It can be seen that the entire "Infernal Affairs" crew attaches great importance to the White Dragon King, and naturally the identity of this person has also become the focus of everyone's attention.

The middle-aged man asked a topic that had nothing to do with it, which surprised everyone.

"You're not completely right, I should say that this is the first time I've invested in a gangster movie, of course, "Infernal Affairs" is not a pure gangster movie, or it is different from all previous gangster movies, which is why I suddenly became interested in this genre."

Lin Youlun's answer was obviously deliberately whetting everyone's appetite, but the reporters present also knew it in their hearts. It may be even more difficult to learn more about the plot of this movie from Lin Youlun.

Even the reporter of "Ming Pao" did not continue to dwell on this issue, and through the question just asked, he further extended his question to the future prospects of the entire Hong Kong gangster film.

This question did not come out of everyone's expectations, and if the reporters of "Ming Pao" were entangled in those side matters or gossip scandals, it would not be the style of "Ming Pao".

"To be able to ask this question, in fact, you should also be aware that Hong Kong gangster movies have indeed declined in the past two years, and I also know that many people are worried that gangster movies will be further suppressed in the future...... I admit that gangster movies are not as good as they used to be, but the main reason is not what everyone thinks. The crux of the problem is that the market for gangster movies is shrinking. From the very beginning of "The True Color of Heroes" to the later "Crazy Boy" and "Lame Hao", Hong Kong's gangster films have actually been brilliant for many years. Not to mention that the audience is tired of it, but I also think it's a bit much, of course, here I mean that there are too many gangster films that have no new ideas, such as Johnny To's several gangster films in the past two years are very interesting, and the reason why I stepped in like this is to some extent also got some inspiration from Johnny To. ”

In recent years, the box office performance of Hong Kong gangster films has indeed been much worse than before, but this part of the lost market has been made up by other types of films, and the overall market has not been affected too much, so Lin Youlun said this, but no one stood up to refute it.

Even if some people are unwilling and want to make some articles about Hong Kong's return to the motherland, with Lin Youlun's increasingly watertight means of dealing with the media over the years, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get useful answers from him.

After answering a few questions, Lin Youlun left the scene halfway, and many reporters at the scene saw him and the White Dragon King leaving in the same car, which further aggravated everyone's curiosity about the identity of the White Dragon King.

Then a reporter brought up this matter, but several lords were instructed in advance and never mentioned any topics with the White Dragon King.

The reporters tried several times to no avail, and finally had to give up the idea of learning the identity of the White Dragon King directly from the main creator of "Infernal Affairs", but in private, they all decided to check the origin of the White Dragon King.

The questions gradually returned to the right track, and more reporters asked about some topics related to the "Infernal Affairs" movie itself.

As the two leading actors of the film, Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei are the objects of the media's key "care", because this movie is another collaboration between the two after "Demon Beast City", so the reporter invariably asked the reason why the two took over this movie.

Liang Chaowei's answer was very simple, just said that the script was good, so he acted it, and there was no superfluous explanation.

At first, the reporters in the audience were still a little puzzled, and then Liu Dehua's answer solved some doubts in everyone's hearts.

"He plays the good guy, I play the bad guy, and I feel like I'm at a loss this time." Liu Dehua glanced at Liang Chaowei, who was standing beside him, and said with a smile.

Just when everyone thought he was joking, Liu Dehua explained it seriously.

"This matter has something to do with Mai Danxiong, because some time ago he came to me, saying that he had a play in his hand and wanted me to be the protagonist, the role at the beginning was a policeman, and then it was changed to a gang boss, so forget it, and then one day he suddenly called me and said, Andy, I'm sorry for you, I have given the role of that movie to someone else to play, I was very depressed at the time, and then I learned that Mai Danxiong still wanted me to play it at first, after all, the two of us had already said before, But he went to Mr. Lin once, saw the script of "Infernal Affairs", and he felt that the role in it was more suitable for me, so he recommended me to Mr. Lin. ”

Liu Dehua's answer was naturally instructed by Lin Youlun, and not long after Liu Dehua said this in front of reporters, the news had already reached Lin Youlun.

When Lin Zhiling received a call to tell Lin Youlun about this, Lin Youlun was saying goodbye to the White Dragon King at the door of the hotel.

"It's rare for Master Zhou to come to Hong Kong, don't you plan to stay for a few more days?"

"Although Hong Kong is good, it is not a place to practice after all, and I will be ready to return to Thailand early tomorrow morning."

"Since the master has decided to go, it is inconvenient for me to stay, and I will visit Thailand again when I have time in the future."

"When your guests come to the door, I will sweep the couch to greet you!"

The two looked at each other tacitly and smiled, watching the White Dragon King walk into the hotel, and Lin Youlun returned to the car.

Catching a glimpse of Lin Zhiling beside her, Lin Youlun knew what she was thinking, and asked with a smile, "Is there any question you want to ask me?" ”

"What is your relationship with this Master Zhou?"

Lin Zhiling hesitated, but finally asked this question.

"So you've seen that?"

Lin Zhiling pouted, "You asked me to say those words to Liu Weiqiang, so that a fool can't see that there is a problem." ”

"Then what do you think I have to do with him?" Lin Youlun was interested, but he wanted to take the test for Lin Zhiling.

"In short, without you for him, there is definitely no respect for him on the surface, and there is more like there is an agreement between you." Lin Zhiling is very smart, and she knows that she can say those things and can't say those words, so even if she finds out the problem, she only points to it.

"That's right, it is true that I have some agreements with him, I will help him build a reputation in Hong Kong, and he will also help me do something when I need it later."

Lin Youlun's confession was beyond Lin Zhiling's expectations, she was slightly stunned, and then said sneeringly: "Actually, you don't need to explain so much to me. ”

Lin Youlun shrugged disappreciatively, "Do I still need to hide the things around me from you?" ”

Lin Zhiling's cheeks burned for no reason, and she quickly changed the topic.

"Then today you and Master Zhou are about to take a position halfway, I see that the media on the scene are very interested in Master Zhou, and if you stay, maybe someone will ask him a special question, isn't it better?"

"He's not a star, why do you want so much exposure?"

Lin Youlun's rhetorical question made Lin Zhiling stunned for a moment, and then she understood what Lin Youlun meant.

For people like the White Dragon King, the most important thing is not to let everyone know about him, but to maintain a mystery in front of everyone, whether it is the departure of the opening ceremony of "Infernal Affairs" or the shortening of the itinerary in Hong Kong, it is actually to leave such a mystery to the outside world.

The more mysterious it is, the more likely it is to arouse everyone's desire to explore.

What can be predicted is that after today, the Hong Kong media will definitely dig out their hearts to explore the details of the White Dragon King, which is much more useful than direct publicity.

Although Lin Zhiling couldn't guess where Lin Youlun would use the White Dragon King in the future, since Lin Youlun did this, there must be a reason for him, and she wasn't very worried about this matter.

Solving the doubts in her heart, Lin Zhiling frowned lightly and stretched a lot, and was about to ask Lin Youlun if he wanted to help promote the movie when he instructed Liu Dehua to mention Mai Danxiong's movie in front of the media, when the big brother's mobile phone in the bag suddenly rang.

After listening to a few sentences on the phone, Lin Zhiling covered the microphone and told Lin Youlun that the call was from Wang Jing.

"What does this fat man want to do?"

While receiving the phone, such a thought flashed quickly in Lin Youlun's heart. (To be continued......)
