Chapter 694: It's My Decision! 【Four Watches】
Jiahe suddenly threw out an olive branch, which caught Chen Hong off guard.
The last time Chen Hong came to Hong Kong, he was just in a hurry, and this time he was just in Hong Kong, so he didn't have much in-depth understanding of the Hong Kong film industry, but he still knew the general pattern.
Lin Youlun promised at the beginning of the establishment of Jiayi Cinema that he would not set up a film company in Hong Kong, so he invested in films either by cooperating with other film companies, or by putting on the name of a producer, and then borrowing the name of someone else's film company to shoot.
This was the condition for Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest to acquiesce to Lin Youlun's monopoly of the Hong Kong cinema business, and as Shaw Brothers gradually faded out of film production, the acquisition of New Arts City became history, and Golden Harvest has actually become the leading boss of Hong Kong film companies.
Coupled with the rapid development momentum of Yongsheng Film Company in the past two years, and the reorganized Media Asia Film Company on the basis of the new art city, the Hong Kong film industry once again appeared a three-legged pattern, of course, this time Golden Harvest obviously has an advantage, Yongsheng and Media Asia together, the strength can barely and Golden Harvest a tie.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Golden Harvest is the dominant company in the Hong Kong film industry.
Being able to sign a contract with Golden Harvest is definitely a rare opportunity for other actors, but this is not so tempting for Chen Hong.
First of all, she is not sure whether she wants to stay in Hong Kong to develop, and secondly, she chooses Golden Harvest, which can also develop well in Hong Kong.
"I also ask Director Tang to express my gratitude to Mr. He on my behalf, but I still need to think about this matter before making a decision."
Chen Hong's reaction was not unexpected by Tang Jili, and what Chen Hong said should be considered, Tang Jili naturally thought that she was asking Lin Youlun's opinion.
Inviting Chen Hong to sign a contract with Golden Harvest was a temporary decision of He Guanchang. The real purpose is to show favor to Lin Youlun through this move. Chen Hong agreed, of course, good. It's okay if you refuse.
Tang Jili brought the words, and then he didn't have much time to figure out He Guanchang's true intentions, because at this time, the reporter's questions before the premiere had already begun.
The reporters who stood up to ask questions at the beginning all aimed their vitality at Cheng Long, and at first they had something to do with "Super Police", but later they slowly began to deviate from the topic and asked about some private matters.
After being reminded several times by the host, the reporters finally let Cheng Long go, and then someone began to ask Tang Jili questions.
"Director Tang. Everyone thinks that you will continue to work with Li Yuanba, why did you suddenly change to Cheng Long's movie, do you think there are some similarities between these two actors? ”
"Regarding the comparison between the two actors, I can't answer this question, but I want to say that it was officially because of the filming of the movie "Myth" that I had the opportunity to make Cheng Long's movie. I would like to thank Mr. Lin for the movie "Myth", as a newcomer, he was able to give me such a big newcomer and put such an important film in my hands. If that movie is not made well, it will be too sorry for Mr. Lin's trust. So I had the idea that I would grit my teeth and make this movie even if I died, and of course the final result of that film should be satisfactory. ”
"Back to the movie "Super Police", this should be the first film in the "Police Story" series in which Brother Cheng Long did not do a directing role, I know that everyone is very strange, Tang Jili is just the director of a movie, why would Jiahe make such a decision? Since Brother Cheng Long became famous, he has always been a director and martial arts instructor by himself, and suddenly found a young director to do it, and everyone couldn't understand it. In order to prove that I can make Cheng Long's movie, I have made a lot of attempts and changes in this movie, and I have used all kinds of elements such as gunfights, explosions, flying cars, helicopters, etc., which I have learned in the film industry, such as gunfights, explosions, flying cars, and helicopters, and everyone can see this movie immediately, and then you will definitely find that this is an absolutely different Cheng Long movie from the past. ”
Tang Jili said a lot in one breath, but the reporters in the audience were only partially interested in him, and as soon as Tang Jili finished speaking, the microphone was not put down, and another reporter immediately stood up.
"Director Tang, there have been rumors that this film has been blocked in Taiwan, do you think this is related to the fact that this film is the first film in Hong Kong to respond to the mainland public. Ann image works related? ”
"The problem you mentioned is also a concern for many people, here I want to clarify in particular, "Super Police" can definitely be released in Taiwan, the plot of the film is only about the mainland and Hong Kong police working together to crack the drug case, without involving any political factors, and now the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland has become normalized, so there is no reason why this movie cannot be released in Taiwan." Tang Jili said that he was so sure because he had heard Lin Youlun and He Guanchang talk about this topic before he took the stage, and what he just said was actually just a change of what Lin Youlun said to He Guanchang.
"Director Tang and Miss Chen Hong should be working together for the second time, what do you think of her?"
"Does being pretty count?"
Tang Jili, who was originally very serious, suddenly came up with such a sentence, and the reporters in the audience were very surprised, of course the reporter who asked the reporter was not satisfied with this answer, Chen Hong is beautiful, which has been recognized by the Hong Kong media after she starred in "Myth", Tang Jili said this is equivalent to not saying it.
There was opposition from the audience, and Tang Jili had no choice but to shrug his shoulders.
"Actually, if you want me to evaluate Miss Chen, it's really just two words - beautiful, not only that she is beautiful, but also her acting skills are also beautiful, whether it is hanging on a tightrope and flying around every day when filming "Myth", or some dangerous scenes in "Super Police" can't use stand-ins, she has done a very good job, this movie is that she plays a mainland heroine. Ann, I'm sure she must be the most beautiful dude on the screen. Quiet. ”
Whether it was the reporter's question or Tang Jili's answer was in Cantonese, although Chen Hong couldn't understand most of them, she could guess that Tang Jili was praising her, and when Tang Jili put down the microphone, she then thanked Tang Jili.
"Miss Chen, your role in this movie, it is rumored that Golden Harvest's favorite candidate is Yang Ziqiong, but why did you choose you the most?"
The reporter who asked the question obviously came prepared, and what he said was actually in Mandarin that sounded very lame, but the meaning could be understood.
This made Chen Hong embarrassed, she was going to use the method taught by Wang Guxian to avoid answering on the grounds that she couldn't understand the reporter's questions, but now this trick has failed.
Just when Chen Hong was struggling with how to answer this obviously ill-intentioned question, Lin Youlun, who was sitting in the audience, suddenly stood up.
"I'll answer that for you."
These words came out of Lin Youlun's mouth, although the voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone at the scene, and the reporters behind couldn't help but whisper.
"Before the filming of this movie, Aaron consulted me for advice, and then I recommended Miss Chen to him as the heroine, and the reason is very simple, because Miss Chen is from the mainland, and since this setting has been made in the movie, it is most appropriate to find a mainland actor to play this role."
As soon as Lin Youlun's voice fell, a reporter immediately asked
"Mr. Lin......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Youlun raising his hand.
"I know what you're going to ask, but I'm sorry I'm not interested in answering similar questions, I've explained this question before, if you're worried that you won't have anything to write about when you go back, and you won't be able to explain it to the editor-in-chief, then go find the previous newspaper and turn it out and post it again."
The reporter just now actually wanted to ask Lin Youlun if the reason for using Chen Hong was related to the previous rumors that Michelle Yeoh was banned, but Lin Youlun's words blocked all the possibilities of asking questions, and if he didn't say the second half of the sentence, everyone almost forgot that he was still the chairman of the "Ming Pao" group, and he was a peer with the reporters on the scene.
Although Lin Youlun has not given much face to his peers, his peers have to give him face, and no one continues to ask questions about this issue. (To be continued......)
