Although "The Peace Wheel" is not a film with purely female characters, the three heroines became the focus of media attention throughout the press conference.

Following Zhong Chuhong, Lin Qingxia and Chen Hong became the focus of reporters' questions, but one of them refused to say more, and the other deliberately kept a low profile, but the reporter did not ask too many questions from their mouths about things outside the movie.

Then Zhang Yurong and Liang Chaowei became the focus of reporters.

"I envy Honggu and Qingxia, one of them has a child, the other gets married, and then you can think of not filming and not filming, but me, although I have always sworn to retire, but until now, not only have the film contracts in my hands not decreased, but more and more ......"

Zhang Rongrong's words were originally a bit self-deprecating, but Zhong Chuhong and Lin Qingxia heard it, but they coaxed on the side, insisting that Zhang Rongrong was showing off.

"It's really not, I really want to rest, including this time to appear in "Taiping Wheel", I also thought about it for a long time before agreeing."

Without waiting for the reporters in the audience to continue to ask questions, Zhong Chuhong picked up the microphone and teased Zhang Yurong: "Don't you want to act with us so much?" ”

Zhang Yurong was not annoyed, and took the microphone in one hand and said: "If you want to say that, then I want to ask you, who did you cooperate with in the last movie before you stopped filming?" ”

"Brother Hefa?" Zhong Chuhong replied without thinking.

"And what else?" Zhang Rongrong asked again.

"And you!" Zhong Chuhong said with a smile.

"Then you still say I don't want to act with you? We were playing rival play before you stopped filming, and now that you are coming back and playing against me, Fa Ge is not as interesting as me, right? ”

"What about me?" Lin Qingxia also joined in the excitement at this time.

"Our last movie was just done together, okay?" Faced with the joint pressure of two beauties. Zhang Yurong was also a little overwhelmed. Hurry up and change the subject. spit bitterness on his role.

"The reason why I hesitated for a long time after getting the script is mainly because the ending of this role is not very good, and I have played a lot of decaying roles like this over the years, and I vowed not to play such a role again after "Green Snake", so everyone has also seen that the most I have played in the past two years is comedy, if it weren't for the fact that the script of "Taiping Wheel" is really good, and Director Wu personally talked to me. That's why there's no way to refuse. ”

Zhong Chuhong turned around and comforted Zhang Yurong and said: "If you want to open up, it is easy to win awards if you play a tragic role." ”

Lin Qingxia said with some "resentment": "Can you two not mention the matter of winning the award, I have also played many tragic roles in Hong Kong over the years, but why did I miss the Hong Kong film award?" ”

"According to what you say, isn't Wei Zai even more aggrieved?"

Zhang Yurong suddenly pulled the topic to Liang Chaowei, who seemed very silent on the side, Liang Chaowei was stunned for a full three seconds, and then picked up the microphone and said with a wry smile: "Yes, Sister Qingxia, I have you as your companion." ”

"You're still young, and there will be opportunities in the future. I'm different. Lin Qingxia shook her head, and her expression couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

Liang Chaowei Zheng didn't know how to comfort Lin Qingxia. The host reacted quickly, and immediately called a reporter in the audience to change the topic.

"Director Wu, it is rumored that Liu Dehua is also one of the candidates for the third leading actor, why did you choose Liang Chaowei after the most embarrassing?"

"Andy is indeed very good, but his schedule is too busy, and there is a conflict with the filming of "Taiping Wheel", and in this role, I think Wei Tsai is more suitable...... I have always felt that acting with his mouth is the worst, you must be able to act with your eyes, Wei Zai has been shortlisted for the Academy Awards for Best Actor several times and has not won the award, everyone feels sorry for him, the reason is because he has eyes. There are not many actors in Hong Kong who can do this, just two of them in this film, and then I don't know much about the situation on the mainland, but Mr. Chen is also such an actor, which I don't need to say, everyone can feel it when they pay attention to it. ”

Wu Yusen's evaluation of the three male protagonists is very high, and it also blocked the minds of some reporters who want to continue to make a fuss on this issue.

The cast of "Taiping Wheel" can be said to bring together the top male and female stars of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and even the Hong Kong media, which has always been picky, can't find much of a problem.

is also the selection of actors, but "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" did not go very smoothly.

On the same day that the press conference of "Taiping Wheel" was held, Lin Youlun and Spielberg arrived in Nanjing by plane from Hong Kong.

Because of the movie "Schindler's List", Spielberg's international reputation has climbed to a height that most filmmakers need to look up to, and the mainland government will certainly not slack off when such an American director with international influence visits China.

After Spielberg and Lin Youlun arrived, the mayor of Nanjing personally greeted them at the airport, and the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor of the province made time to attend the reception.

At the welcome banquet, Spielberg, who was in contact with the Chinese wine table culture for the first time, finally did not resist the frequent toasts of the members of the reception group, and finally drank a little dizzy, and had to return to the hotel to rest in advance before the banquet was over.

Lin Youlun was originally going to go with Spielberg, but when he was about to go out, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture, surnamed Liu, stopped him.

"Mr. Lin, can you take a step to speak?"

Lin Youlun asked the accompanying bodyguard to help Spielberg get into the car first, and followed Vice Minister Liu to the sofa in the lounge area of the hall and sat down.

"I don't know what Minister Liu has to say?"

"After Hong Kong's return to the motherland, everyone is a family, and Mr. Lin said that he was outside." The vice minister surnamed Liu waved his hand, "I invite Mr. Lin to come over, mainly to discuss with Mr. Lin about Mr. Spielberg's itinerary during this time in Nanjing, and by the way, I also want to know some specific information about the film that Mr. Spielberg is going to shoot." ”

"The Chinese name of this film is "Jinling Thirteen Horses", and the story unfolds against the background of the Nanjing Massacre, so I hope that Nanjing can arrange some relevant itineraries so that the director can have a deeper understanding of the full picture of this historical event, which is very important."

After listening to Lin Youlun's request, the deputy minister surnamed Liu frowned.

"Mr. Lin, in recent years, the country and Japan have cooperated a lot in the economic field, and the Japanese government is very concerned about Mr. Spielberg's film, and even asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the embassy in China not to exaggerate the massacre......

"This Minister Liu can rest assured that "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" will definitely not criticize Japan's crimes of aggression against China as mercilessly as "Black Sun 731", and the reason why I invited Mr. Spielberg to direct this film is also to hope that this film can stand on a more objective position to look at the Nanjing Massacre, but some history cannot be forgotten and hidden, and it is inconvenient for the central government to do these things, so it is up to me to do it, and all the responsibilities are borne by me!"

Lin Youlun's statement is tantamount to separating the position of the film "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" from the mainland government, which not only avoids interference from the official level, but also does not make the mainland government too embarrassed diplomatically.

The deputy minister surnamed Liu felt very ashamed when he heard Lin Youlun's words, and immediately sat up straight, and said: "Mr. Lin, rest assured, I will do my best to arrange Mr. Spielberg's visit to Nanjing." ”

Most of the information about the Nanjing Massacre that Lin Youlun handed over to Spielberg was recorded overseas, and this time he came to Nanjing in the hope that Spielberg could combine the information preserved in Nanjing to have a more intuitive understanding of the massacre, and there were not many places that needed official assistance, so he was not dissatisfied with the arrangement of the vice minister surnamed Liu.

"By the way, Minister Liu, in addition to visiting Nanjing, we also want to select a group of actors from China to participate in this movie, so I hope to get some support from relevant domestic departments."

In 94, the mainland's art troupes have not yet been restructured, and most of the actors are still members of art troupes in various places, and they have to be approved by their art troupes to film with them.

Because of the particularity of the subject matter and the importance attached to the film in China, it is unlikely that the art troupe will refuse to release people, but after all, it is necessary to go through one more procedure, Lin Youlun felt that it was too troublesome, so he wanted the Ministry of Culture to come forward to coordinate, so that it would be much simpler to ask for people.

Probably because the previous request to dilute the handling of Japan's crime of aggression against China was a bit unfortunate, the vice minister surnamed Liu agreed to Lin Youlun's request very simply.

"No problem, I will coordinate this matter, and art troupes across the country will organize it, as long as it is the actor who has a fancy to "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", all of them will participate in this movie unconditionally!"

"With Minister Liu's words, then things are simple, before coming to the mainland, in fact, I have sent people over here for a round of screening and investigation, and several actresses have been determined, and they will all play very important roles in the film...... This is their name and information, and I hope that Minister Liu can communicate with their unit as soon as possible and let them report to the crew as soon as possible. ”

Lin Youlun asked Ajie to bring his briefcase, took out a document and handed it to the deputy minister surnamed Liu, which involved a total of three actors, two of whom were from the north. Beijing Film Academy, one has just graduated but has stayed in school, and the other has just enrolled, these two actors only need to say hello to Beiying to summon people, but the last actress is a little troublesome.
