Chapter 212 (continued)
"There's one more question." Yang Yi nodded at Chen Ge's answer with a smile, and then said, "I wonder if Mr. Chen Ge has any plans to go to Europe and the United States for development in the near future?" ”
Chen Ge was slightly stunned, this is the second person to ask Chen Ge if he wants to go to Europe and the United States for development, "I don't have the idea of going to other countries for development at present, and the next movie has begun to take shape in my mind, I think the second movie will start shooting soon." ”
I only heard the reporter ask: "Recently, a well-known magazine in Europe and the United States did a survey, the title is the world's top ten most handsome Chinese, you are in the first place, what do you want to say about this?" ”
Chen Ge thought for a while and said: "If a man wants to be successful, it is not his face that depends on it, not to mention, I think this kind of investigation itself is very boring." ”
Yang Yi nodded, Chen Ge's answer is very official, I don't know if it's true or not, but the official answer is usually the most perfect answer.
Chen Ge thought that this press conference was very successful, but after the reception, it was still difficult to escape the fate of being scolded by Shi Zhimin.
"In front of so many reporters just now, why did you answer the question about Ye Shuo head-on, and you can fool the past with vague words, why do you have to say such over-the-top words, and beat people up the next time you meet, do you know who wipes your ass every time something happens!"
Chen Gedui said with a smile: "Sister Min, I know you are the best, you are angry, anger is not good for the skin, the press conference just now was completely off-topic, there was not a word about the evil and the poison at all, I saw that they liked to ask so many things, so I simply told them directly, in fact, it didn't matter, don't worry, Sister Min, I have a sense of proportion." ”
What can I do when I encounter this kind of cheeky leader who can only sell cuteness, Shi Zhimin holds his forehead with his hand, or think about what to do later.

Half a month passed quickly after the post-production of East Evil and West Poison, and after a while, the movie should be completed, and the deadline for release is not far away.
On this day, a special person who Chen Ge was very familiar with found Chen Ge, his name was Pengyun.
Chen Ge is not a little afraid of Peng Yun now, maybe because Chen Ge doesn't think that his current skills are much worse than Peng Yun, or maybe his identity and status itself are the origin of a man's confidence.
"The young master wants to see you." Pengyun said.
"Why should I go to see him?" Chen Ge asked.
Peng Yun didn't expect Chen Ge to answer like this, his face was suffocated, "You should know the identity of the young master, if you don't go, I don't guarantee that the young master won't do anything." ”
Chen Ge spread his hands and said, "You can try it and see if I care." ”
Peng Yun felt that Chen Ge had changed a lot, and now he had a feeling that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and his scalp could not help but be numb, and the young master said when he asked himself to come, it was best not to annoy him and not to tear his face, because the follow-up plan Chen Ge was the most important chess piece.
Peng Yun's tone softened, "You must go this time, the young master has something to tell you." ”
"Why did he not come when he wanted to tell me about something, but asked me to go?"
Peng Yun swallowed his anger, "Young Master, please go." ”
Chen Ge said: "That's right, remember, Pengyun, you used to be very awesome in front of me because I put up with you, but now I don't want to put up with you, you have to give me some rules." Where is the meeting place? ”
"Juxiang Building."
・・・・・・
・・・・・・
Chen Ge thought of the young master, although he was indifferent on his face, but he was actually very depressed in his heart, and at this time, he drove around the seaside area of Yau Tsim Mong District for a while, and drove the car in the direction of Tsim Sha Tsui.
The sea breeze blowing from Victoria Bay kept blowing Chen Ge's cheeks, causing him to squint his eyes slightly, enjoying the fresh sea breeze unique to this harbor city.
Although there was still some time before the agreement with the young master, after turning around for a while, Chen Ge still drove the car and rushed to Juxianglou.
According to Peng Yun, the young master will bring a very special director to meet Chen Ge this time and let Chen Ge prepare.
For this director, Chen Ge is like thunder.
Because he is the master of commercial films who has long been famous in Xiangjiang - He Man.
Speaking of He Man, he was also a legend in the Hong Kong film industry in the sixties and seventies. Chen Ge inquired a lot about him during this time, He Man joined the film company in the early 60s and made his debut, worked for several years as a scene reporter, drama affairs, and acted in a few years before directing a "Life and Death Extreme Battle" in the mid-70s, which became popular all over Xiangjiang, creating a precedent for commercial films in the Xiangjiang film industry.
After becoming the best commercial film director in Xiangjiang, he has not stopped in the director circle. He Man was born as if he had been loved by God, and burst out with a dazzling light in the director's movie. He has made a number of films and won numerous awards at major international film festivals. In the mid-80s, he relied on several commercial films such as "The Three Musketeers" to attract money and applause, and was respectfully known as the master of commercial films.
The meeting time agreed by the three was 12 o'clock at noon, and the location was the Juxiang Building that Peng Yun said, which is located in East Kowloon and is a very ordinary shop from the outside.
Compared with the many luxury hotels and restaurants in Xiangjiang, the scale of Juxianglou is not large, only two independent small buildings, but this restaurant is very famous in Xiangjiang, at least in the dining circle, it is not small.
According to Chen Ge's survey, there are at least nine stores in Hong Kong that will do 'Buddha jumping over the wall', but only this one is the most flavorful.
Parking the car in the parking garage of a nearby shopping mall, Chen Ge walked for a while to a restaurant called 'Juxianglou'.
"Sir, may I ask you!" Although it was not yet meal time, the private rooms in this restaurant, which looked very ordinary from the outside, were full, but fortunately, the young master Wei Qianxiang booked a private room in advance, which saved him a lot of effort.
"Take me to Songjian, Wei Qianxiang has already booked a private room in advance."
From the outside, it looks like an ordinary restaurant, but when you walk in, you will feel like you are shining brightly.
The interior of the house was well decorated, and Chen Ge answered him casually while looking around. This decoration is not very rich and gorgeous, but it has a warm and moderate feeling, which is very in line with classical Chinese aesthetics, and integrates some unique customs of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. There are a lot of gods and statues in the hotel, and the refreshing sandalwood fragrance comes to the nose for a while, even a person like him who is not very involved in religion can feel some of the designer's preferences from this layout. It seems to have come from the hand of a designer who likes Huang Laozhi's theory.
"Okay, Wei Qianxiang hasn't arrived yet, please come with me first!"
A waiter went to the counter to check and found that Songma had indeed been ordered in advance by an old customer named Wei Qianxiang, so he immediately came back to lead him over.
"Haven't they come yet?" Chen Ge glanced at the time on the wall and found that there was still half an hour before the agreed time, so he smiled dumbly and ordered: "Then make me a pot of tea first, and have a snack from your side!" ”
"Okay, wait a minute!"
The waiter ushered him into his room and left quickly. Songma is located in the corner, it seems that this is a habit in the entertainment industry, when everyone goes to a hotel or restaurant to eat, they like to pick a private room in the corner, celebrities are also people, no one likes to be exposed to the public's eyes 24 hours a day.
Just casually glanced at the decoration in the private room, Chen Ge lost interest. In the corner of the wall was a cupboard with several magazines and newspapers. There was still some time before the appointed time, it was boring, Chen Ge walked over and wanted to look through whether there were any magazines, but he couldn't help but be very disappointed, those magazines were almost all fashion magazines for women, so he had to be bored and flipped through a bunch of newspapers, and accidentally turned out a monochrome black-and-white printed magazine at the bottom - "Film Double Magazine".
Chen Ge was stunned for a moment, and then he came to some energy, picked up the magazine and returned to his seat to read it.
Founded in early 1979, it witnessed the golden age and rise and fall of Hong Kong films with the tide of Hong Kong films, and the most prestigious "Hong Kong Gold Awards" award ceremony in the Chinese-speaking world was also founded by "Film Double".
The one he got was not the latest issue, but the version half a month ago.
"Chen Ge is a new director, and when "East Evil and West Poison" is finished, he will eat with big-name directors such as Lu Liang, Mu Hai, Zhou Xingchi, and Wu Yu!"
After only turning a few pages, Chen Ge's eyes lit up, he was attracted by an article in the magazine, read it word by word, and soon read the whole article, holding his chin and his eyes flashing.
It wasn't that long ago that this matter began.
When "East Evil and West Poison" was finished, Director Lu informed Chen Ge that there would be a small meeting between directors in two days, and Chen Ge went.
After going there, Chen Ge learned that this was specially organized by Director Lu and Mu Dao for himself, in order to have a good relationship with Zhou Xingchi and Wu Yu and other famous directors.
Chen Ge was very grateful to Director Lu in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the nose of these media was really smart, it was originally a very small and hidden meeting, and everyone had done disguise, but they were still photographed.
Entertainment newspapers usually rely on gossip magazines to sell, so they have always been willing to spend saliva on gossip, "Film Double" does not leave any mercy, although there are several famous directors, all of whom are giants in the entertainment industry, but "Film Double" is vague in language, vaguely listing several famous directors as Chen Ge's backstage, and Chen Ge's genius is completely "artificially made".
This piece of news took up several pages of the magazine, and the headline was printed on the cover of the magazine.
Flipping down a few more pages, they are nothing more than some movie reviews, some of which are pertinent, some are too biased, Chen Ge flipped through a few articles, and only took a few more glances at a film review called "On Zhou Xingchi's Discovery of Newcomers, the Status Quo of Several Generations of Star Girls", and then flipped over.
After quickly flipping through the "Double Issue of Movies", Chen Ge was interested in renting several advertising spaces in the magazine. It is said that the number of copies shipped in each issue is less than 12 or 30,000 copies, and even in Taiwan there are 10,000 or 20,000 copies. With the shipment volume of "Film Double Magazine", each issue of one advertising space ranges from 7,000 to 18,000, which is also cost-effective.
"It seems that after the post-production of "East Evil and West Poison" is completed, you can consider contacting "Film Double Magazine" and buying a few issues of advertising space!"
Rubbing his temples, Chen Ge thought thoughtfully. Although this time "Film Double Magazine" reported a few of his own gossip, it seems that he is still insinuating that his fame is just a shady scene, but this kind of report in the entertainment industry is not uncommon, and if you want to cooperate with "Film Double Magazine", you have to throw away these small festival circles. As long as you buy the advertising space, when the movie premiere is over, "Film Double Magazine" can give a few film reviews, whether it is good or bad, it will be good for the box office of the movie.
In the film industry, box office and publicity are inseparable from each other. In his previous life, Chen Ge hoped to make up for the box office failure of "East Evil and West Poison", so he couldn't be vague in publicity.
In his previous life, he had seen a lot of movies with average quality and reputation, but they completely relied on topics and publicity and hype, and made a bad movie a big hit.
Time always flies quickly in the boring waiting, and more than half an hour passes in the blink of an eye. When the clock hand in the private room pointed to 11:30, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and it stopped straight outside the private room between the pines.
Then there were two knocks on the door, and before he could respond, a figure pushed the door open.
"Hehe, why did you come so early, Chen Ge? Hello, I'm Wei Qianxiang. ”
This is the first time Chen Ge has seen the young master face-to-face, Wei Qianxiang is very young, handsome, tall and straight, his face is very handsome, in terms of domestic aesthetics, his sword eyebrows are hanging from his nose, and his heroic spirit is compelling, this is definitely a top rich and handsome.
"Wei Qianxiang, hello."
The other party is polite, Chen Ge naturally can't be aggressive as soon as they meet, and shook hands with Wei Qianxiang, his current contact with the big man is not small, but Wei Qianxiang still gives him a little special, which can be regarded as amazing.
Wei Qianxiang nodded, looking at Chen Ge with an undisguised exclamation on his face, although he had seen Chen Ge on the screen before, he couldn't help but feel that it was too perfect when he saw me, and he felt a sense of shock. There was an air conditioner in the room, but Chen Ge was afraid that the temperature would be too low, and it would be cold to catch a cold when it was cold and hot, so Chen Ge adjusted the temperature to 30 degrees.
Wei Qianxiang only had a shirt when he came in from outside, but now he seemed to feel the heat, so he took off his shirt and put it on the chair next to him.
Chen Ge was a little surprised, he didn't expect Wei Qianxiang to be so casual.
However, Chen Ge looked outside the door, "Didn't you say... Mr. He Man will come?" ”
Wei Qianxiang smiled, "He did come, but we don't need to involve him in our conversation now." ”
"What do you mean?" Chen Ge frowned.
Wei Qianxiang pointed to his face, "I want to talk to you about this." ”
Seeing Wei Qianxiang's appearance as if he was smiling but not smiling, Chen Ge felt uncomfortable for a while, he hated Wei Qianxiang's extremely aggressive gaze.
Chen Ge simply picked out: "If you have anything to say, you just say it, I'll listen to what you mean, to be honest, until now, I don't understand what you're for." ”
Wei Qianxiang said: "Okay, since you want me to say it clearly, then I will say it, my meaning is very clear, I saved you in the first place, and the purpose of saving you is to hope that you will join my plan." ”
