Chapter 658: Across the Seas (Part II)
Lin Youlun and Wu Yusen walked in together, and the originally lively living room suddenly became very quiet.
Zhou Yanfa and Zhang Yurong both subconsciously looked at Zhong Chuhong and Zhou Comin, and saw that the two girls also had a puzzled expression on their faces, and they felt even more strange in their hearts. Wu Yusen is the director of "Across the Seas", and it is not surprising that he appeared here, but Lin Youlun did not say that he was coming in advance, so everyone will be surprised.
Originally, Lin Youlun was not going to come, but firstly, he was worried about his daughter, and secondly, he was also a little worried that there would be problems when Zhong Chuhong and Zhou Comin met, so he still came over without telling others.
"Why, aren't we welcome?" Wu Yusen broke the silence and said jokingly.
Zhou Yanfa and Zhang Yurong all stood up, but Zhong Chuhong and Zhou Yimin became a little awkward again because of Lin Youlun's arrival.
Lin Youlun also realized this, and after saying hello to the others, he went upstairs to see his daughter, and when he left, the atmosphere in the living room returned to normal.
The film crew then arrived, and after the photographer set up the machine, he signaled for Zhou to start.
"Today is the first time that our "Entertainment Star Weekly" has done a show outside the studio, of course, the identity of the guest we invited this time is also very special......" When Zhou Comin said the opening remarks, the lens of another camera swept over the faces of Zhong Chuhong, Zhou Yanfa, Zhang Yurong, and Wu Yusen in turn, "Seeing these four guests, everyone should have guessed the topic we are going to talk about today, that's right, that is the movie "Across the Seas" that is about to meet the audience, and there are actually a lot of topics about this movie, Even American film critics commented after watching the film's test screening. This unpretentious Treasure Hoarder. Hollywood can't make it anymore. But I heard that Director Wu originally wanted to make this movie a tragedy, right? ”
The camera of camera No. 2 settled on Wu Yusen's face, and Wu Yusen also began to elaborate on some of his thoughts when shooting this film.
"Before I made this film, I had just finished filming "Bloody Streets", although looking back now, the film was not very well received by both the audience and the critics. Everyone felt very depressed after watching this movie, but I was actually even more depressed, because this movie is the one that I have put the most effort into as a director for so long. It's also the one I'm most satisfied with and loved, and I can't get everyone's affirmation, I haven't figured it out until now, probably because I didn't choose the right time for the film to appear, and my luck during that time was not very good. Someone later told me that it wasn't that you didn't make this movie well, but that the things you expressed in the movie were too dark for the audience to accept. ”
"So in order to prove to everyone that you are still very humorous, sunny and loving in nature, you made "Across the Seas" into a comedy?" Zhou Comin interjected.
Speaking of this, I have to mention Fa Tsai and Rong Tsai. The three of us have established trust and friendship with each other since "The True Color of Heroes", and then they have seen very depressed because of the poor box office performance of "Bloody Streets". persuaded me to shoot something happy, making the audience happy is secondary, the most important thing is to make yourself happy, so I asked Gao Zhisen to write this script, turning tragedy into comedy. Wu Yusen explained.
Zhou Comin then asked: "In the play, the three thieves are all facing the problem of retirement, and outside the play, Rong Shao and Honggu are also facing such a choice, is this deliberately arranged by the screenwriter?" ”
Wu Yusen shook his head, "It's not specially arranged, but I'm very satisfied with this kind of plot, when Rong Zai announced that he was going to quit the entertainment industry, few people should believe that he was serious, but I believe it, so his role in the play has always been thinking about the happiness of red beans, and I want to say goodbye to him in this way." ”
"Rong Shao just announced his retirement from the music scene, and didn't say that he wouldn't act in movies in the future, right?" Zhou Yimin put the problem on Zhang Yurong.
"At the beginning, I actually wanted to retire directly, because I had already bought a house in Canada, but because I had signed a few film contracts before and had not yet filmed, I just said that I would quit the music industry, and I planned to wait for the performance of the film contract at hand, and then retire completely, but the plan can't keep up with the rapid change, and the retirement plan may have to be postponed for a few more years."
"Your fans will be happy to hear this, but I'm curious what prompted you to change your mind?" Zhou Comin continued to ask.
"A lot, because all the friends here, the fans and fans are staying, and then I personally got some awards in the movie, and it's really irresponsible to leave like this." Zhang Rongrong only talked about it in general terms.
"So you didn't leave, the biggest hero should be Wang Jiawei?" Although Zhou Comin was joking, she was not wrong.
When Wang Jiawei first asked Zhang Rongrong to shoot "The True Story of A Fei", Zhang Rongrong had not yet announced his decision to quit the music industry, at that time he thought that he was just going to make a cameo in the movie, thinking that it would not take long to get it, but he didn't expect that when he held 33 farewell concerts in a row, Feng Mai was ready to leave Hong Kong, and he had not waited for "The True Story of A Fei" to start.
Zhang Rongrong did not quit the entertainment industry immediately, in a sense, he really wants to thank Wang Jiawei, it is precisely because he loves to drag the drama that he dragged Zhang Rongrong from a cameo to the protagonist, and then put a crown of golden statue actor on Zhang Rongrong's head.
I haven't won this award for several years in a row, but this time I finally got it, and while I was happy, Zhang Yurong's original idea of wanting to quit the entertainment industry was finally loosened.
"Zhang Yanrong, who wants to retire, did not succeed, but Honggu gave everyone an unexpected decision, "Across the Seas" has become your shadow work, everyone misses you very much during this period of absence, do you have any plans for when you will come back?" Zhou Comemin brought Zhong Chuhong's withdrawal from the entertainment industry a sentence, but the focus was on when she would come back, although there was a suspicion of diverting attention, but this question is indeed what many people are concerned about, including Zhou Yanfa, Leslie Cheung, and Wu Yusen, who also want to know how Zhong Chuhong will answer.
"I don't have to think about how to play this role all day long, and I don't have to worry about what the newspaper will say about me, I think my life is pretty good now. Although I know that such an answer will make many people who care and support me regret. But I have no regrets about my career as an actor. So I just want to live quietly now. We look forward to your understanding. ”
Zhong Chuhong's words were not only for the audience in front of the TV, but also for a few friends beside him.
Zhou Comin's interview continued, "In other words, when you were making this movie, you were really treating it as your own film? ”
Zhong Chuhong nodded, and before she could speak, Zhang Yurong on the side rushed to break the news and said: "I can prove this that she was half-hearted when filming this drama." Not dedicated at all. ”
"Why!" Zhong Chuhong raised his hand and hit Zhang Yurong.
Zhang Yurong raised his hand to block Zhong Chuhong, and said with a smile: "Why not, I heard the screenwriter say that at the beginning, a kiss scene was designed for you and me and Fa Ge, but during the filming, you secretly ran to discuss with the director, and the last two scenes were cut, and you refused to kiss us even if you said goodbye, you are so cruel." ”
Zhong Chuhong scolded with a smile: "You and Fa Ge don't know how many women's dream lovers, if I kiss you at the same time in a play, won't I be poked by the jealous female fans?" ”
"Not really. Because of the kiss scene in the film, even my wife agreed. Zhou Yunfa also jumped out of the funny at this time and slapped Zhong Chuhong with a brick.
Zhong Chuhong glared at the unrighteous Zhou Yanfa angrily. "Is that because I know her?"
Zhou Comemin hurriedly relieved Zhong Chuhong and changed the topic.
"I know that there is a scene in this movie where you are dancing, and one of the scenes is Rong Shao taking over Honggu from Brother Hu Feng, is this specially arranged by the director to symbolize the inheritance of the Hong Kong dance king?"
Hu Feng is the first artist in Hong Kong to be called the king of dance, followed by Zhang Yurong, so Zhou Comin said so.
"Don't you know the way? The Hong Kong Dancing King is no longer me. Zhang Yurong not only did not admit it, but also tried his best to change the topic, "In the all-star charity performance of "Dragon and Phoenix Shop" not long ago, I have already handed over the title of the king of dance to others. ”
"Bully I haven't seen that movie? You're playing a debt collector in that movie, and you don't dance at all. Zhou Yimin immediately exposed him.
Zhang Yurong really corrected and said: "Really, there is a detail in the movie that you may have overlooked, I also led a few younger brothers when I was collecting debts, and there was one of them, I had a line with him that said, 'Pretty boy, I am optimistic about you', and now the king of dance in Hong Kong should be him!" ”
After Zhang Rongrong's reminder, Zhou Comin remembered someone.
"Do you mean Guo Fucheng?"
Zhang Yurong nodded, "That's right, it's him, he used to dance for me, and he only said it when he saw me during filming, I didn't know anything before, of course, he is very good now." ”
In the first episode of "Back to the Future", Zhou Comin cooperated with Guo Fucheng, but she played opposite Li Ming in that play, and Guo Fucheng's partner at that time was Zhang Manyu, Guo Fucheng has developed quite well in the music industry in recent years, and Zhou Comin is also an acquaintance, but he is familiar with each other, and the topic of Guo Fucheng on the show did not continue to go deeper.
After interviewing Wu Yusen, Zhang Yurong, and Zhong Chuhong, Zhou Comin began to ask questions to Zhou Yanfa.
Because in the previous interview, almost everything about the movie "Across the Seas" has been said, so Zhou Comemin and Zhou Yanfa talked more about some things outside the movie.
"This year should be considered your award-winning year, right? "The Shawshank Redemption" is a big bag at the Golden Dragon Awards, and many people say that you have booked next year's Academy Awards in advance. ”
"You all say that, if there is a big hot stove meeting, I will be very shameless." Zhou Yunfa made a joke as soon as he came up.
Zhou Comemin pouted playfully, "You don't admit it on your lips, but you must think so in your heart, right?" ”
Zhou Yunfa deliberately made a very exaggerated expression, "You can see this?" ”
"Many people say that you are going to leave Hong Kong to develop in Hollywood after filming this drama, is this news true?"
"It's not time yet, maybe we'll have to wait another year or two." Zhou Yunfa does have this idea, but he knows that he and Cheng Long's situation is different, don't look at the two of them are about the same in Hong Kong, but Cheng Long, as an action actor, naturally has an advantage in Hollywood, but Zhou Yunfa can't, and he can't stand firm in the past.
"Do you have any plans to make a new film in the near future?" Zhou Comin then asked again.
"Yes, after filming "Across the Seas", I feel that I still have potential to continue to tap in comedy performances, so I want to make a costume comedy, the theme is what I thought of when I was filming "The Story of Ah Lang" before, and I will continue to cooperate with Johnny To again this time."
