Chapter 183. Premiere of "Across the Seas".
At the premiere celebration of "Across the Seas", as a red flower in the men's gang, Zhong Chuhong, known as the "Red Girl", was eye-catching.
After being carefully dressed, wearing the most fashionable and beautiful makeup, and wearing a floor-sweeping black dress tailored by a famous artist, she became the object of reporters competing for interviews and photos.
"Aunt Hong, are you really secretly married to Zhu Jiading, a genius in the advertising industry, in Rhode Island, USA?"
"I heard that this will be your last work, are you going to quit the film industry after you get married?"
"Honggu, you can make so many men fascinated by you, can you tell us what kind of means you used?"
"I heard that you and Zheng Yuling used to be good friends, and her ban in the film industry also has a certain relationship with you, is that so?"
"What do you have to say about the previous media insinuation that you are superior by your appearance?"
One after another rude, direct questions made Zhong Chuhong's eyebrows slightly impatient, her beautiful eyes swept over the reporters present, and then she smiled shallowly, "Today is the premiere of "Across the Seas", I hope all media friends can focus on this film, as for other things, I don't think there is really any need to talk about it." ”
"But you should know very well that these are all issues that fans are very concerned about."
"I'm sorry, I think this young lady still doesn't seem to understand what I mean." Zhong Chuhong took a slight breath, the smile on his face was still there, but his tone was already cold, "Standing here at this moment, my identity is just an actor, I can accept your many comments on my acting skills, and I can also discuss anything about the film with you, but that's all." As for my love life, that's my private matter, and I don't plan to bring it to the table, and I don't need to explain it to anyone. I don't think it's worth explaining or even clarifying all the false reports, and I hope you can maintain your professionalism and don't ask irrelevant questions on such occasions. Thank you. ”
is worthy of being a red girl in the Hong Kong film industry, and she dared to speak to reporters from major media and magazines in such a tone at the premiere.
"What is this? Even the big names can't ignore us like that! ”
Someone snorted coldly, but in exchange for a low chuckle, "Don't you know? People are ready to quit the film industry to be a good wife, what are they selling us! ”
"It's a joke, I don't believe she won't come back in the future!"
"So what? She is a famous beauty in Hong Kong! ”
"Pick, is there still a shortage of young and beautiful people in this entertainment industry? Let me tell you, the entertainment industry lacks everything, but there is no shortage of beauties! ”
The man was still indignant, and suddenly someone interjected with a smile, the voice was not loud, but it was extremely intimidating, "So you mean that you don't even give me face?" Honggu and I are good friends!? ”
“……”
The man was suddenly silent, and at the same time, there was another twitch in the outfield, and it was the actor Chow Yun-fat.
Fa Ge's popularity is far above Zhong Chuhong, and he is almost surrounded by the stars and the moon. The originally slightly long hair has been trimmed, making him more and more energetic, his handsome and delicate face is a very decent and charming smile, and he is even more majestic when he wears a precious handmade suit.
Now, the main creative staff of the movie, several leading actors, and several senior executives of Thunder Pictures, including Chen Xuanting, are present. Coupled with the fame of director John Woo and the appeal of Chow Yun-fat, the double actor of the Golden Horse Golden Statue, a lot of friends from the media industry came, and thousands of seats were filled.
Chen Xuanting, John Woo, Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung and Zhong Chuhong sat in the best seats in the first row, followed by Zeng Jiang, Hu Feng and Zhu Jiang and other main supporting roles in this play.
At this moment, when the two famous Hong Kong hosts enthusiastically introduced the movie on the glittering luxury stage, Chen Xuanting and the great director John Woo would occasionally talk to each other.
There was not much time, and the host announced the official start of the premiere. The trailer of "Across the Seas" was played on the big screen.
The first part is a dialogue between Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung in the play.
Chow Yun-fat: Sometimes if you care too much about other people's feelings, you will lose yourself, do you know? Actually, both of you know my surname, I like this walk, that walk, I like wandering. To love someone, you don't have to follow you all your life. I like a flower, I don't have to pick it; I like the wind, do you want the wind to stop, you let me smell it? I love the clouds, do you want the clouds to float down and cover me? I love the sea, do you want me to jump into the sea?
Ah Hai: I know that after I get married, I will not be able to cook and be free. So what I'm looking for is a flash of brilliance.
Azham: Have you ever heard people say that the brilliance of a moment does not mean eternity?
The second paragraph: When the target appeared at the ball, Fa Ge, who was dressed in an evening dress, danced a passionate pas de deux with Zhong Chuhong in a wheelchair, and covered her to successfully steal the key from the target.
Most of the audience under the stage are fans of Fa Ge and Honggu and others, and when they saw such a wonderful film, they couldn't help but cheer with excitement.
Unconsciously, the Hong Kong premiere of "Across the Seas" has been in the middle of the lively process, and after the two famous hosts laughed and teased a few words, the hostess suddenly smiled and said loudly: "The movie "Across the Seas" is good-looking, and the theme song in this movie is also very good, if you don't believe it, let's listen to it first." The words fell, and the host retreated from the stage in an orderly manner.
After a while, the sensational music slowly sounded, and above the large circular stage, beautiful white petals fell like snowflakes, and on the big screen, the wonderful MV clips of "Across the Seas" were gradually played...... With the change of music, his brother Leslie Cheung wore a modern white prince suit, walked on the stage of the colorful streamer with extreme elegance, took the microphone beautifully and handsomely, and sang the theme song with dedication, "It's not so easy to find a partner to talk to, especially after seeing so many betrayals, I am always uneasy, I have to be tough, who murdered my romance, I can't love anything else, I can't see it......"
There is no doubt that this song "It's Not That Simple", which transcends time and space, is the theme song tailored for his brother Leslie Cheung by the talented Chen Xuanting.
At the beginning, Chen Xuanting originally wanted to use foreign blues as the spice of this play, because this movie was mixed with blues music in his previous life, but he did not win any music awards. So Chen Xuanting was so ambitious that he made the theme song of this play - "It's Not That Simple".
At this moment, this song sung by Leslie Cheung has a unique taste. The eyes of many fans, from the moment Leslie Cheung appeared on the stage, were completely fixed on him.
Leslie Cheung's radiant black eyes, his handsome face, his calm and free temperament between his eyebrows, a raised hand, a throw, and such a chic and free feeling have attracted people and made everyone feel that he is the most dazzling existence at tonight's premiere.
Of course, this has to be attributed to Chen Xuanting's "creative ability" in the audience, to be precise, "plagiarism ability"!
Leslie Cheung sang wholeheartedly, every expression, every clear and affectionate singing voice, deeply touched people's hearts, "Become practical, maybe good or bad, half of each other, don't love to be lonely, long and get used to it, don't worry about no one being cared for, feel happy and busy, feel tired and empty yourself...... It's not that easy to fall in love, everyone has his temper......"
After singing, the camera lens gives him a close-up.
Leslie Cheung's black eyes exuded a charming brilliance, standing up straight, and smiling slightly, all of which made everyone in front of the TV and every female surname present intoxicated and happy.
At this moment, applause rang out in all directions, and everyone's eyes were cast on him. I believe that through this opportunity to reach tens of millions of homes on TV, with his handsome and extraordinary appearance, natural temperament, and undoubted strength, many people believe that his brother, who is ready to quit the music scene, will be able to become popular in the entertainment industry again.
Off the stage, Chow Yun-fat pretended to be a little jealous and said to Honggu: "Ah Ting is really eccentric, he actually created such a good song for Ah Rong, so that he stole my limelight!" ”
Zhong Chuhong: "I didn't expect Boss Chen to have such a good composition ability - why didn't you sing when he asked you to sing?" ”
Chow Yun-fat: "I don't have all five tones, listening to me sing is similar to listening to a big opera, it's better to let Ah Rong, a professional, come!" ”
Zhong Chuhong smiled: "Then what kind of vinegar do you eat?" ”
Chow Yun-fat said in a line tone: "Sister Hongdou, jealousy is not your woman's right!" ”
Zhong Chuhong: "Die!" Knocked on Chow Yun-fat's head.
…… Two hours later, the Hong Kong premiere of "Across the Seas" came to a perfect end, and media workers from all walks of life poured backstage to interview the three superstars, especially his brother Leslie Cheung, who was about to retire from the music scene, and became the focus of everyone's interviews at this moment.
"Who wrote this song for you?"
"Do you really want to quit the music scene in the future?"
"If you don't quit, will you focus on singing or acting?"
"Did you have a kiss scene with Honggu in this movie?"
"Did you spark the duel with the actor Fa Ge?"
“……”
The reporter's question is one more spicy than the other. still has his coping tricks in Leslie Cheung, cherishing words like gold, not answering a word, only smiling at the camera with just the right charming, and with the help of his agent and several assistants, he walked out of the passage with difficulty.
"Brother, don't go......"
"Tell me how you felt about filming the bed scene......"
Reporter friends are very interested in the bed scene in the movie, and they chase after it.
"When you were shooting, was there a dew point?"
After the premiere ceremony in the afternoon, Thunder Film Company struck while the iron was hot and took advantage of the situation to carry out an overwhelming advertising campaign, which made some uninvited reporters gather here in a steady stream on the day of the release of "Across the Seas" to report on the premiere of the night for free. It saved Chen Xuanting a lot of publicity costs.
However, what is surprising is that due to the noon premiere ceremony, Leslie Cheung and Zhong Chuhong have been "squeezed" clean by many reporters, in order to carry out the gossip entertainment to the end, many people have shifted their targets and aimed the lens on the investor of this drama, Chen Xuanting, the current big boss of Thunder Pictures.
However, there is no way to do it, at this time, Chen Xuanting's popularity has reached an unprecedented peak, and even has reached the point of being comparable to those big names who have been famous for a long time.
After waiting for the hall to arrive, Chen Xuanting was shocked to find that the great director Wu Yusen next to him was trembling, smiled lightly, and asked, "Are you nervous?" ”
"Huh, nervous? No, I'm excited because I have a strong faith in this movie. Wu Yusen's answer made Chen Xuanting stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief, compared to others who have worked in the film and television industry for decades, and their mentality is no longer what ordinary people can imagine.
Some of the friends Chen Xuanting met this time were on display, such as Senior Superintendent Ren Tat-wing, Xin Yi'an Xiang Hualong, Da Si Xi, and Lei Yaoyang of the New Star Society... Among the four major families, the He family and the Huo family also sent people to congratulate them. In addition, there are several big-name stars in the entertainment industry, Tsui Hark, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Guan Zhilin, Jet Li, etc., which can be regarded as a group of heroes.
on screen. The originally calm blue sea suddenly became fierce, the waves began to howl with the wind, the huge waves rushed, and then in the middle of the waves, suddenly a thunderclap roared, and then a scaly flying dragon rushed out of the water and roared away.
The picture freezes, and a row of Chinese traditional Chinese characters appears where the flying dragon disappears - Thunder Pictures!
This is the exclusive opening of the Thunder Film Company film in the future, with the flying dragon soaring into the sky, the whole scene is full of unparalleled domineering, so that those who watch it also shake up and down.
"Well, it's very imposing." Wu Yusen smiled mysteriously at Chen Xuanting, in fact, this beginning was designed by the company entrusted to Wu Yusen. Today is also the first time Chen Xuanting has seen it, to be honest, Chen Xuanting almost forgot that he still needs to add a unique film of the company as the opening before the movie is played.
Chen Xuanting was also stunned by this choppy opening, and he didn't react until John Woo spoke to him.
"Yes, especially the moment the Wyvern first appeared, it almost scared me." Chen Xuanting said with palpitations. This beginning is too fierce, and when I first watched it, I thought it was a Jurassic Park scene and ran into my own movie. But...... Won't children cry when they see this piece? Chen Xuanting thought about it, and still said to Wu Yusen the question.
"Hehe, this kind of thing looks the same thing for a long time, as for the children, hehe." John Wu smiled and pointed to the people behind him who were being surprised. "Don't underestimate the human ability to accept the new, the unknown, the mysterious."
Chen Xuanting glanced back, and sure enough, there were only exclamations and admiration in the hall, but no one was frightened, and there was a faint look of excitement on their faces.
"The most important thing is the meaning of this piece, I hope that the thunder can be like this flying dragon, if it doesn't fly, it will soar into the sky!" John Wu said with a smile.
The hidden dragon is in the abyss, and the flying dragon is in the sky!
Chen Xuanting immediately had an epiphany and said with a smile: "Accept your noble words, I hope that Thunder Pictures will really have that day!" So I put my mind down and continued to watch the movie.
"Across the Seas", as John Woo's pioneering work to the international market, mainly tells the little-known story of treasure theft by international thieves. With such a theme, it is natural to revolve around the open and secret struggle between the police and bandits, and between bandits and bandits.
The plot of the film is full of ups and downs, and the thrilling scenes are endless, which can be described as exciting.
John Woo also clearly uses the expression techniques of the psychological master Hitchcock in the film, making the interlocking and changing story process give people a confusing and uncertain feeling.
Is the thief so handsome, so stylish, and so affectionate? Three hot big-name stars, a super perfect cooperation. Chic in gestures, heroic in the rain of gunfire and bullets - "Across the Seas" will let you know what performance art is and what is the aesthetics of violence.
And the biggest selling point of this film, Chow Yun-fat successfully captured the hearts of many women present with another sassy style in addition to his usual bohemianism.
High-speed cars, helicopters, gum explosives, wheelchair dances, etc., make everyone's hearts beat faster, and follow the plot one after another. Let the entire broadcast hall be screaming constantly.
And when the film ended, when the low and tense theme song "It's Not That Simple" composed by Chen Xuanting sounded, the audience immediately gave continuous applause, and everyone had joyful expressions on their faces.
"Congratulations, you made it." Chen Xuanting gently patted Wu Yusen on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you, thank you!" Wu Yusen was already too excited to speak at this time, and he took Chen Xuanting's hand and thanked him for a while. John Woo knew that although he was very excited at first, during the film, his heart still sat down nervously, listening carefully to the audience's reaction.
At this time, John Woo brought Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung and Zhong Chuhong and other main actors to the stage, said some words of thanks, and answered some reporters' kicks. And Chen Xuanting just sat quietly below, and the movie was only a temporary glory for him. It is also a way to make the company survive, and Chen Xuanting's mind has already flown to the financial currency market.
I don't know when my own actions to rob the wealth of the USSR will be closed?!
However, Chen Xuanting's reluctance to go up does not mean that everyone will forget him, you must know that the investment funds for this movie are all from Thunder Pictures, and the big boss of his company is also Chen Xuanting.
A myth of a billionaire in less than a year, a creative talent, a screenwriter, and a boss with a lot of money at a young age, such a person just wants to keep a low profile, and reporters will not agree.
