Chapter 826 Scene 826 Grand Release
Zeng Zhiwei looked at Li Xiaole and sighed deeply: "Alas~~ In the past, people were poor, and when children went to learn kung fu, they might become Li Lianjie, Cheng Long, and good action actors were all trained since childhood, and now they are looking for those who practice functions and endure hardships, and those who know how to film, but I can't find them, now that the living conditions are better, the practice is too fortunate, and my parents will say: 'Forget it, don't practice.'" Slowly, there are fewer and fewer people with this ability, and the entire industry does not have the same conditions as before to make good martial arts films, and if you don't make this genre again, there will be no successor. ”
Li Xiaole listened and nodded, empathizing with him, it is true that there were a lot of people who watched "Shaolin Temple" to learn kung fu when they were children, and now there are still children who are willing to endure this hardship.
Zeng Zhiwei also shook his head, patted Li Xiaole's shoulder, and said in a dumb voice: "Le Zai, in fact, in the heart of Chinese before, not only action actors, but also the entire Hong Kong actor is a respectable job, now the times are different, all the gossip and entertainment are made, the actor is picked up by the media like a negative man, a pornographic woman, and now people don't respect us, only those Americans, and the foreign moon is relatively round......
Everyone thinks that we actors are no longer the pride of Hong Kong and the Chinese~~ I support you this time, I have only one wish, that is, to let us Hong Kong actors regain respect, and let them know that we are no worse than those ghosts, and this wish is only possible for you to do, it is very good that you chose the press conference in Los Angeles this time~! ”
"Aren't you afraid that the failure of this drama will make Hong Kong films even more declining?" Li Xiaole understood what Zeng Zhiwei meant, and asked with some curiosity.
"Afraid? Afraid of what? Zeng Zhiwei rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Either we can impress those ghosts this time, or we will die vigorously, it's better than waiting to die like now~ A TV series of 6 million US dollars a episode, I have never filmed it in my life~ Even if it is a tombstone for my TV drama career, it is worth it~! ”
"Well, I see." Li Xiaole nodded vigorously, and suddenly felt that the breath was raised, now that the crew and actors are united, he has nothing to worry about, the next thing is to go to Los Angeles to create a new situation~
As soon as he walked out of the TVB conference room, his mind was refreshed, and at this time, he thought about watching Hong Kong superstars on TV for his own use when he was a child, and he only felt a breath of excitement gushing out of his body, and he couldn't help but excitedly learn Bruce Lee's "babbling" and screaming a few times, kicking a few backspin legs in a row, and trotting all the way to the elevator.
Several TVB employees in the corridor were frightened...... I thought to myself that this little director didn't go crazy because of too much pressure......
On Saturday night, the cast press conference for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was held at the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, a 1927 landmark building called the Chinese Theatre, but no Chinese film or TV series had ever been held before Li Xiaole to hold his press conference at the Oscars.
And today, this place has been completely arranged into a pure Chinese style, the whole venue has been decorated into the architectural style of the Song-style carved dragon painting building, from the rockery and jade, to the calligraphy and painting, the sword and the blade, are full of the elegant style of the old Song Dynasty, even the waiter in charge of the reception is wearing military attache armor, with a sword in his waist, leading the guests to sit down, and everyone sees the names of Chinese characters marked on the seats and feel that they are full of Chinese antique.
And today's press conference is not only the media and fans, but also Li Xiaole's many friends from all walks of life, such as NBA star Kobe Bryant, and the new Olympic Games eight-time champion Phelps and others came to cheer, it can be said that the gathering of heroes, Li Xiaole's own influence is amazing enough, plus the Olympics have just ended, the attendance of these sports stars makes this press conference more eye-catching.
And the media all over the United States are also very curious this time, because this time the Pirate TV held a press conference not only for Hong Kong actors, Li Xiaole was on the scene, but also about the news about next year's summer file "The Avengers", which is what everyone is more concerned about.
As the spokesperson of the Hong Kong delegation this time, Cheng Long, who has always been popular in Hollywood, is responsible for greeting people from all walks of life everywhere and is very busy.
Many people were surprised to find that the No.1 "News Corporation", a global media group, also sent representatives to attend the press conference...... News Corp. Executive Chairman James Murdoch, the first heir to the Murdoch family, made a surprise appearance.
"This Chinese influence is really beyond imagination." The 36-year-old executive chairman of News Corp. had just entered the Chinese theater with Fox TV CEO Peter Rove and was surprised by the scene.
"He's in the limelight right now, of course everyone will cheer him on, but it's just a chance for him to meet such a good Olympics." Peter Rove, who has Russian ancestry, obviously does not look down on Li Xiaole, a Chinese, has become the focus of everyone.
"Peter, you can't be so mean to your future colleagues, a lot of people in the group admire him." As the number one heir to the "World Media Emperor Rupert Murdoch", James Murdoch just raised his glasses and smiled very gracefully: "The Chinese are far smarter than you think, ESPN, NBC people are no worse than us, and they are not played by him." ”
"Yes, Mr. Murdoch, I take back my words." Peter Rove quickly apologized tremblingly, although Fox TV did not directly participate in the Olympic broadcast competition this time, but this time it was also a mess of Pirate TV.
James Murdoch didn't say much to this arrogant Russian subordinate, just silently observed the reactions of those familiar faces on the scene, of course, the purpose of this news corp sent him was not only to cheer Li Xiaole, but more importantly, to send him to find out how influential Pirate TV is now in the industry, no one knows, in fact, News Corp has already decided internally to buy Black Pearl.
When the Black Pearl Company looked at the North American market, News Corporation, the world's world-class media screenshot puppet, also wanted to enter the Chinese market, the failure of Star TV in the past few years made the old Murdoch a big fire, and now the Black Pearl, a private company, is developing in China and the United States, and News Corp is naturally aiming at this new goal.
Of course, they have to wait for an opportunity, a chance for Black Pearl to show its flaws, and it seems that this time "Condor Shooting" seems likely to be Black Pearl's first failure in the North American market......
At the moment when the little Murdoch was ambitious and scanned the crowd at the scene, more than 2,000 guests had entered this exquisite and elegant theater, and Li Xiaole, as the focal point, had already put on a set of Mao suits, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and appeared on the stage in high spirits.
At this time, in addition to the host and staff, there was only a long row of empty seats on the stage, and everyone didn't know who would sit on it, so many seats, could it be that dozens of Hong Kong actors ...... come?
After Cheng Long made a brief introduction in English and announced the start of the press conference, Li Xiaole stood up and looked at the crowded media and elites from all walks of life in the United States, and also took a deep breath, and said silently in his heart, finally taking Chinese works on this stage.
Taking out the microphone, he coughed lightly, looked at the people in the audience calmly and calmly, and said loudly: "Welcome to the release site of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", thank you all, then I will introduce the actors of this series......"
Speaking, from the backstage, came Ha Zhiyuan, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Guorong, Huang Rihua, Zheng Shaoqiu, Liu Qingyun, Zeng Zhiwei...... More than a dozen actors from Hong Kong and South Korea slowly walked onto the stage.
In addition to the screams and cheers of a small number of Chinese fans in the audience, the atmosphere at the scene was not warm, because the most familiar Jet Li (Li Lianjie) did not come, and most of these Hong Kong actors had never heard of the media present, and even Liang Chaowei, the actor who won awards in the world, is not a star in this pure entertainment environment in the United States, and for reporters in various states, Li Xiaole and Ha Ji Won are the biggest names among the actors.
Although he knew that Lu Dao would be given a cold reception, after taking the stage, he found that all the flashes and cameras were aimed at Li Xiaole and Ha Zhiyuan, and this kind of psychological gap still made Hong Kong actors like Zeng Zhiwei feel panicked.
Zheng Shaoqiu and Huang Rihua both glanced at each other, and they both showed a wry smile, sure enough, this is the situation... If it were in Beijing, I'm afraid the media would have gone crazy a long time ago, and the shutter sounded like raindrops......
No...... Not only Beijing, but even in Japan, South Korea, or even any country in Southeast Asia, they will not be treated like this, this is Hollywood, the biggest actors in the world are just small roles here......
And just when everyone felt that the continuous cold scene on the scene was very embarrassing, Li Xiaole suddenly picked up the microphone, pointed to the behind the scenes of the stage and said loudly: "Now let's continue to welcome the voice actors of the North American version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"~"
This made everyone stunned, what? And the voice actors of the series attended the press conference? What's going on?
In the stunned hearts of everyone, as Li Xiaole read out his names one by one, familiar faces walked out from the other side of the stage.
"Heath Ledger, Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, Ian McLean, Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Scarlett Johansson, Andrew Lincoln, Sarah Wayne Calis, Matthew Perry, ............"
