Chapter 152: Best Partner Launch
Lei's Building. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the first floor of the Lei's Building, an area dedicated to a press conference is now occupied by dozens of reporters in more than 100 seats, fiddling with their dinner guys and long and short cameras.
These reporters came from various entertainment newspapers and periodicals on Hong Kong Island, including Oriental Daily, Ming Pao, Sing Tao Daily, Tian Tian Daily, and some tabloids.
The door opened, and Lei Juewen and Mecca walked in the lead, followed by Zeng Zhiwei, Xu Guangjie, and Zhang Aijia.
A group of five people sat down at the long table that had been prepared long ago, facing the reporters, and in front of each of the five seats, there was a microphone.
"Whew!!"
Lei Juewen tried his voice and said loudly: "Thank you very much for the reporters from various newspapers and magazines to come today, I am Lei Juewen, the boss of Light Curtain Film and Television." ”
"Mr. Lei..."
"Ahem!"
Lei Juewen coughed, suppressed the voices of many reporters, and said: "Today, except for asking questions after raising your hand and getting permission, we will not answer any questions, and please cooperate more." ”
"The reason why we invite everyone to come today is because there is a major news to be released, that is, Light Screen Film and Television will invest 10 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot a Hong Kong film, an authentic Hong Kong film."
As soon as Lei Juewen's voice fell, all the reporters discussed for a while, and a few of them were flexible, but they raised their hands directly.
"This young lady, please!" Lei Juewen pointed to a woman among the several reporters who raised their hands.
The female reporter stood up, took a notebook and a pen and said: "I am Zhang Lin from Sing Tao Daily, I want to ask Mr. Lei, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to recover the cost of an investment of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars?" You must know that the current highest box office record for Hong Kong Island films is only more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. ”
Lei Juewen replied with a smile: "Since we dare to invest, we are naturally not afraid of losing money, and we are very confident in this film." ”
"I still want to..."
Without waiting for Zhang Lin to continue, Lei Juewen said: "I'm sorry, before a reporter has not asked a question, a reporter can only ask one question. Next, I would like to ask the gentleman in blue to ask questions. ”
Zhang Lin sat down unwillingly, and the reporter who was stopped stood up and said, "Hello, I'm Chen Jun from Oriental Daily." I want to ask, what type of film is this, and who will be the hero and heroine of the film? ”
"This gentleman is a little cunning, and asks two questions, but both are somewhat related, and we can answer them."
Lei Juewen said with a smile, and then said: "The film is shot with reference to Hollywood 007, but this is the Hong Kong version of 007, which is different from Hollywood's 007, and has the local flavor of our Hong Kong Island." As for the hero and heroine of this film, it will be answered by Mr. Mecca, the manager of the new art city. ”
After Lei Juewen finished speaking, Mecca said: "The name of this film is "Best Partner", written by Mr. Lei himself, we are very optimistic about the prospects of this film, so we invited Mr. Xu Guangjie to play the male protagonist of the film, King Kong, and I myself play a bald detective, Miss Zhang Aijia plays the policewoman, that is, the heroine." The director of the film is Mr. Zeng Zhiwei. ”
After Lei Juewen clicked on another reporter, the reporter got up and said, "May I ask Mr. Zeng, do you feel pressure on this film with an investment of 10 million?" ”
Zeng Zhiwei, who was asked, said: "There will be pressure, but I am full of confidence, and with the cooperation of several leading actors, I will make a film that satisfies Mr. Lei and Mr. Mai and live up to their expectations." ”
"Do you have the confidence to break the box office record on Hong Kong Island?" Another reporter got up and asked at Lei Juewen's signal.
Tsang Chi-wai said with a smile: "There is definitely confidence, and the best partner will definitely be able to break the existing box office record on Hong Kong Island." He is telling the truth, the best partner has an investment of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, if the box office cannot be higher than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, it is a failure, which he does not allow, so he has confidence, and he can only have confidence.
"Ah Sam, the best partner has such a high investment and invited you to star, so do you have any ideas for leaning towards the film industry?"
Ah Sam is Xu Guangjie, he said with a smile: "There is no such thing, there is no contradiction between development in the film industry and development in the music industry." I feel very honored to be able to star in the film Best Partner, and I am very grateful to Mr. Lui and Mr. Mak for giving me this opportunity. ”
"Ah Sam, can you tell me how much you are paid for this film, it is said that your salary has reached one million Hong Kong dollars."
Xu Guangjie replied: "There is no such thing, one million Hong Kong dollars is just a promotion by everyone, and my salary for the best partner for this film is 700,000 Hong Kong dollars." "Before he came, he had been instructed what kind of questions could be answered and what kind of questions could not be answered, and the question of remuneration was a question that could be answered.
"Miss Zhang, you just got married last year, what made you come out to take over the movie?" A reporter turned to ask Zhang Aijia.
Zhang Aijia replied: "Originally, I didn't have the idea of coming out to make a movie, but Mecca is an old friend of mine, and he invited me several times, but I couldn't push it down, and this is indeed a role worth challenging, so I chose to take on this role." ”
"Mr. Mai, you are the manager of Xinyicheng, what is the reason for you to do it yourself and play a role in the film, is it that the investment in the film is too big and you can't afford to hire someone to film?"
Mecca smiled when she heard this: "This little brother is really good at joking, who doesn't know that I, Mecca, have directed and starred in dozens of films, I am an actor, and it is normal to play a role in the film." The investment in the film is very large, but it is not so big that it is impossible to hire someone to film. ”
Lei Juewen took over with a smile and said: "I myself also played a role in it, although it is only a small supporting role, it is impossible that we have no money to invite a small supporting role, right?" It's just because I love movies, I love acting, nothing else. ”
"Mr. Lei, may I ask...."
The press conference lasted for more than an hour, and the reporters were eight immortals who crossed the sea to show their powers, and the questions became more and more tricky, and finally even asked questions that had nothing to do with the best partner, and Lei Juewen ended the press conference directly when he saw this.
As soon as the press conference ended, the reporters ran out directly to return to the agency. This is big news, and the sooner it is published, the better it will sell, and their bonuses will naturally not be less, so no reporter will slack off.
The investment cost of the first part of Hong Kong Island is tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, not to mention in the entertainment industry, even in the entire Hong Kong Island, it is also a depth charge. Any investment of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is not a trivial matter, let alone investing in just a movie, which will only be more shocking. (To be continued.) )
