The 101st "Farewell My Concubine" press conference (2)
Zooming in, there is a relatively large temporary stage set up on the lawn in the innermost part of the Super Brand Mall, with a delicate stage layout, with a poster of "Farewell My Concubine" about four meters long and three meters high in the background, and two 24-inch monitors next to the stage, on which the trailer of "Farewell My Concubine" is repeated. The stage is full of people, the closest to the stage are reporters from major media, and behind them are Lin Feihong's fans, among these people, some of them are whispering about the posters and trailers on the stage, guessing what Director Lin's new work looks like this time, and some are playing with their mobile phones and waiting for the arrival of the protagonist.
Honk! Honk! Honk!
A long honk of the horn turned all the attention of the people who were talking or playing with their mobile phones in the direction of the horn, and when they knew who was coming, everyone cheered, and the outermost group of people took the initiative to give way to a passage, and an extended version of the Porsche luxury car slowly drove slowly to the cheers of the people, and finally stopped next to the stage.
At this time, the host Lin Xueer also walked on the stage.
"Hello everyone, I'm not actually the host, I'm just a CCTV reporter Lin Xueer, but today I was entrusted by Director Lin to support the press conference of "Farewell My Concubine"... Now that our Lin Feihong Lin Director has come to the scene with his team, let's welcome them with warm applause, welcome! ”
Today, Lin Feihong is wearing sunglasses and a black suit, looking even more handsome, and when he appears in front of everyone, he attracts a burst of cheers.
"I think everyone knows that more than five months ago, that is, around mid-October last year, Director Lin's work "Thai Embarrassment" won the highest box office record of Chinese films in China - one billion, and there was a storm in the entire entertainment industry at that time... Now, after nearly half a year, our Director Lin was born again with "Farewell My Concubine" after more than five months of silence, I don't know what kind of surprise Director Lin will bring us this time, now, please Director Lin say a few words for us, applause welcome! ”
"I'm glad that all the fans are here to cheer, thank you!" Lin Feihong bowed deeply to the people under the stage, and after a while, he said slowly: "I'm afraid that the "Farewell My Concubine" I brought today will not surprise but surprise, because this work is completely different from the previous two works "People in Embarrassment" and "Thai Embarrassment", the first two are purely comedies, mainly entertainment-oriented, but this movie is a tragedy, mainly art-based, without the slightest element of entertainment.
This time I am unconventional, unusual, making such a film is not because I did it unintentionally, in fact, all this has been in my arrangement, after making two entertainment films with the surname of comedy, although the box office and fame have reached an unprecedented height, the box office of "Thai Embarrassment" has even broken the highest record of Chinese films, it stands to reason that I should continue to take this path, after all, it is just the beginning, and it must have a bright future if it continues like this... But I'm tired of it, because the two works I made before me have no other purpose than for people's entertainment for a while, they are just a flash in the pan and will gradually fade out of people's hearts... It's not what I wanted, and since I make a movie, I have to make a film that has a real meaning.
So I began to analyze the current situation of Chinese films, the characteristics of other great directors' films, and finally found some flaws and some commonalities, so I decided to make a different film at that time. This time I brought "Farewell My Concubine" will be my turning point, this work will explain the style of all my works in the future, this "Farewell My Concubine" is also my first step out of innovation, and the previous "Thai Embarrassment" took the same new film marketing road, this time is also another innovative measure for me, but this innovation is different in the creative style. ”
Lin Feihong's speech made the audience silent, and after Lin Feihong's voice was behind, people were still immersed in Lin Feihong's speech, and they didn't react for a while, until Lin Xue'er's voice sounded.
"Thank you very much Director Lin for your wonderful speech, from Director Lin's mouth and the trailer, we already know what the general trend of "Farewell My Concubine" he brought this time is, although we don't know what kind of tragedy "Farewell My Concubine" tells about, but we all know the story of "Farewell My Concubine" in history, presumably this movie revolves around this historical allusion. From the trailer, we can know that this work is indeed very different from the previous two, just look at the background, you can see that the previous background is more modern and festive, but the social background of this "Farewell My Concubine" seems to be closer to modern times and more gloomy. This is really as Director Lin said, this is his turning point, it is another of his innovative measures, as for what is this innovative measure, what is the style that Director Lin wants to express, how is this work different from the previous two, is it just the difference between tragedy and comedy... Let's find the answers to all these questions in the cinema on April 8th, and now let's talk about how it was like to make a film. ”
Lin Xueer turned to ask Andy Lau: "I remember that last time in "Thai Embarrassment", you only played the third person, and now in "Farewell My Concubine", your identity has soared to the male number one, you must have a lot to say about this honor, right?" ”
"Well, it was really unexpected that I could play the male lead in "Farewell My Concubine" this time, when Feihong fell in love with me..."
"I didn't expect Director Lin's tastes to change now, and he fell in love with a macho man." Lin Xueer suddenly interrupted Andy Lau and smiled at the audience.
As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into laughter.
Andy Lau didn't react yet, but Wang Baoqiang reacted, he picked up the microphone and echoed: "Yes, Feihong likes handsome guys and macho men now, and he can't look down on me anymore." ”
"It is said that you are not the protagonist this time, are you, you are playing a little villain." Lin Xue'er looked at Wang Baoqiang.
"Yes, who told me to be handsome and strong." Wang Baoqiang shrugged.
"Slip of the tongue, don't get me wrong, if Feihong really wants to take a fancy to me, I won't take a fancy to him, my taste hasn't changed yet!" Andy Lau finally reacted and made fun of Lin Feihong.
"My taste is huge, big and small! You need to be careful. Lin Feihong made a cannibalistic expression.
After some jokes, the dull atmosphere just now was instantly broken, and the audience also cheered.
