When she got off at the hotel, Guan Zhilin deliberately left behind, in order not to walk with Cheng Long, and at the same time to talk to Wu Siyuan.

"Uncle Wu, what now?"

Guan Zhilin looked discouraged, and Wu Siyuan had no choice but to comfort her and say: "Don't think so much now, maybe things are not as bad as we think." ”

"Zhou Comin is here, what other chance do I have?" Guan Zhilin said angrily.

"Miss Zhou is here for a concert, so she may not stay." Wu Siyuan said this not only to comfort Guan Zhilin, but also to comfort himself.

The two were walking behind, and a group of reporters suddenly appeared in front, holding microphones and cameras, surrounding Cheng Long.

"Mr. Cheng Long, can you give us a specific introduction to the movie "The Mummy"?"

"Mr. Cheng Long, what is your box office estimate for "The Mummy"?"

"Mr. Cheng Long, why would you choose to make this movie? Is there any particular reason? ”

Cheng Long smiled and asked the reporters to be quiet, asking questions one by one, and he would answer all the questions that could be answered.

Wang Jing got down from a car behind, turned around and left when he saw this situation, Wu Siyuan quickly called Guan Zhilin and followed closely.

"Director Wang, ...... are you?"

"If you want to be interviewed by these reporters, you can go straight there, and if you don't want to be interviewed, you can take the elevator in the parking lot with me and go upstairs. These reporters have been here since two days ago, and to be honest, I'm already annoyed by them, and God knows where they have so many problems. Wang Jing complained as he walked.

Wu Siyuan glanced back at Cheng Long.

"That Aaron ......"

"Rest assured, he's more experienced with this kind of scene than we all have." Wang Jing pursed his lips, looking indifferent.

Cheng Long is willing to be interviewed by American reporters because it is conducive to increasing his exposure. And this time Cheng Long will mainly be stained with the light of the movie "The Mummy", if the film is invested by Lin Youlun, the American media will not pay so much attention.

Some people even joked that every time a movie invested by Lin Youlun is released in the United States, the American media will be like a great enemy, and the film will not do well at the box office, so they can wantonly satirize, and if the film does well at the box office, they can take out the topic of Hong Kong films invading the United States and hype it up again.

Every time a film invested by Lin Youlun is released in North America, it brings countless topics to the American media. Just by reporting relevant news, you can feed a large number of journalists.

Cheng Long's own movies have rarely attracted such a high level of attention, that is, after filming "The Mummy", he found a little satisfaction from the American media to be regarded as a first-class movie star.

So in the face of all kinds of questions from reporters. He all seemed to be very patient.

"As you can tell from the previous trailer and promotional poster, the movie "The Mummy" is about the same theme as the name of the movie. The subject matter is somewhat similar to the "Indiana Jones" series and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". It tells the story of a group of people who went on an expedition to the tomb of a pharaoh. ”

As soon as Cheng Long's voice fell, a reporter immediately picked up.

"Your previous films have always emphasized the realism of the action, and a lot of the dangerous scenes are live-action, which is why American audiences like you, and this time you gave up what you do best and used computer special effects to please the audience. Do you think it's the right choice? ”

"I don't completely agree with your statement, first of all, this movie does pay attention to special effects, but it doesn't mean that I lost my acting characteristics in this movie. On the contrary, this film gave me more room to perform, in this film, in addition to the amazing special effects, you can also see me perform some more difficult performances, these performances are all live-action, and the excitement will definitely exceed everyone's imagination. ”

While explaining, Cheng Long did not forget to advertise the movie.

"So, the movies you shot in the U.S. didn't bring out the best of your game?"

This problem is obviously a bit ill-intentioned, but Cheng Long has not been in vain in the United States in the past two years, and he has long been able to deal with this easily.

"Making Hong Kong movies is not the same as making American movies, I have to admit this, when I used to make movies in Hong Kong, the whole movie was completely up to me, and I could shoot any kind of action I wanted, but not in the United States, first of all, I need to follow the director's arrangement, although when filming action scenes, they are willing to listen to my opinions most of the time, but the insurance company does not agree, every time I tell them my shooting ideas, they will always say NO, Because they thought it was too dangerous and didn't agree with me to shoot that way, I had to change my plan until they agreed. ”

"Don't you have such concerns about filming in Hong Kong?" Immediately another reporter asked.

"It's not that I don't have such concerns, but when I was filming in Hong Kong, I didn't want the insurance company to help me insure, because I would definitely lose money if I did it!" Cheng Long replied humorously.

"Was the film shot on location in Egypt?"

"I took some scenes in Egypt, but according to Hollywood practice, the crew built a full-scale original set in another place to facilitate better shooting, because there is a picture of the pyramid being destroyed at the very end, if it is a live shooting, the government will definitely arrest us!" Cheng Long became more and more relaxed, and occasionally made a joke between answering questions.

"Do you think this movie might surpass 'Ghost Blows the Lantern' at the box office?"

The reporter who asked the question obviously had bad intentions, but he can't be blamed completely, because "The Mummy" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" really have too many similarities, both films are invested by Lin Youlun, and the director is Wang Jing, so it's hard not to be compared.

"I thought you would ask about the Indiana Jones series, because compared to "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", I think "The Mummy" is closer to the former in terms of subject matter, although this film is made in Hong Kong, but it is completely shot according to Hollywood standards, and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has a very strong oriental color, I don't think it is appropriate to compare these two films together."

Cheng Long answered this question lightly, but the reporter was not satisfied.

"Just comparing the box office of the two movies, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"The movie hasn't been released yet, of course I hope that the box office can be as much as possible, as for whether it can surpass "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", to be honest, I'm not very sure."

"The two leading actors of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" are your brothers and sisters, and whether it is in Hong Kong or the United States, you are more famous than them, you should be very confident to surpass them." The reporter who asked the question obviously put a lot of effort into this regard, and even he knew the relationship between Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao and Yuan Di clearly.

"But they're two people, and I'm just one person, aren't I?" No matter how good Cheng Long's temper is, he is also very happy at this time by the endless entanglement of American reporters on this issue.

The American reporters did not mean to stop there, and thought about continuing to ask questions, but at this time, there was a commotion among the reporters who were crowded behind.

The reporters around Cheng Long looked back and found that all the people had run out.

It was none other than Lin Youlun, who had just returned to New York from San Francisco.

When the main owner appeared, Cheng Long was immediately left aside by the reporters, and everyone ran to prepare to interview Lin Youlun.

"Excuse me, guys, I just got off the plane and need to rest for a while, I'll answer your question number later?" Lin Youlun walked to the hotel under the escort of bodyguards, explaining to the reporters who were chasing questions next to him as he walked.

The reporters finally caught Lin Youlun's whereabouts once, how could they stop there, Lin Youlun didn't plan to accept any interviews, but among the many questions, there was one question that suddenly attracted his idea.

"Mr. Lin, "The Mummy" is your last big-budget film to shoot in Hong Kong, do you have any special expectations for this movie?"

Lin Youlun stopped and glanced at the reporter who asked the question.

"Are you sure 'The Mummy' is the last big-budget film I've made in Hong Kong? I don't know who told you this news, why don't I even know about Lu Dao? ”

Naturally, the reporter who asked the question just now would not miss this opportunity to ask another question.

"Because there is news that you will set up a film company in the United States, and after the movie "Mummy", it is true that none of the films you invested in Hong Kong cost more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, is this a compromise you made in order to adapt to the North American market?"

"Isn't "Pirates of Malacca" being filmed a Hong Kong movie? Or do you think it's a Hollywood movie, and if you really think so, I'd say thank goodness, but are you sure you're going to stick to that view when it's released? If you do, I'm honestly a little unaccustomed to it! ”

None of the surrounding reporters answered, although "Pirates of Malacca" uses an American actor and a British actor, and the director is a Frenchman, but the lead actor of the film is an out-and-out Hong Kong person, to say that this film is a Hong Kong film is completely defensible, but to say that it is not a Hong Kong film seems to be able to find sufficient evidence to support.

Lin Youlun glanced around at the reporter beside him, cleared his throat and said: "I said a long time ago that I would try to promote cooperation between Hong Kong films and Hollywood films, and I am doing it now!" (To be continued......)
