Chapter 148: Hand in hand
With the hot screening of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the box office has skyrocketed. Entertainment newspapers and magazines obviously don't simply praise such a movie, they desperately dig up news and make up news. With such a gimmick, to fight for the increase in sales.
Since it is to sell the news, it is nothing more than to start with the main creators and actors of "A Chinese Ghost Story". Regarding the scandal between Lu Yan and Wang Zuxian, it can't be fried anymore. It is estimated that if you make it up, it will not attract any attention. So these entertainment reporters naturally set their sights on Leslie Cheung, the king of the music industry whose acting skills are recognized by film critics.
"Brother plays a big name on the set! γ
"Leslie Cheung has no grace and forcibly demolished reporter film! γ
A gimmick report similar to this slandering Leslie Cheung suddenly appeared on the Hong Kong market. Leslie Cheung has always appeared in front of the public with a modest and elegant image, and the sudden exposure of such news immediately made the Hong Kong people question it.
Such a turmoil is getting bigger and bigger, which naturally leads to the damage to Leslie Cheung's reputation.
Fortunately, TVB sent an interview group to the set of "A Chinese Ghost Story", and Huaxing Records naturally did not allow Leslie Cheung, who was becoming more and more popular, to be splashed with sewage at this time. Dongcheng Imaging obviously will not let this brother be wronged, and the news of Leslie Cheung's rehabilitation suddenly formed a stark contrast to those slanderous reports!
"In order to make a new film, Leslie Cheung suffered a lot"
I once visited the filming site of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and found that the production staff of the studio was full of smoke and wind, and they used all the methods that could "make smoke". It's dry ice again, it's incense again, and then turn on the big fan to blow and blow, so it is said that under the "edification" of the incense, Leslie Cheung's eyes have a problem, red spots around the eye sockets, and prickly heat, and swollen, almost unable to see the eyeballs.
He said that the dust in his eyes caused his eyes to be inflamed, but that others were fine, and that his eyes were particularly sensitive. In addition to the suffering of the eyes, this film has a lot of "soup body scenes", being drenched in the rain for a while and being immersed in water for a while, and the worst thing is that it was a cold winter when it was filmed, which made him suffer from a cold, and he had to catch the scene. Leslie Cheung in that period was either filming or seeing a doctor.
"Demolition Reporter Film? Something else going onγ
During the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story", there was a rumor of "dismantling the film". A newspaper pointed out that Leslie Cheung had a bad attitude, shouting and shouting to get back the film, but Leslie denied it: "This is how things happened, two reporters came to the set and said they wanted to take pictures, at that time Wang Zuxian was taking a bath shot, although she was covered with adhesive tape, she was still afraid of going away, so she didn't want to take pictures, but the reporter insisted on taking pictures, in order to avoid "wearing and collapsing" to go out on the street, the staff asked them to hand over the film to us to wash, if it didn't go out, let them publish it, so the whole thing has nothing to do with me at all." β
Regarding the Fei Fei Lin incident, Leslie Cheung really felt very innocent. He didn't want things to get darker, so he didn't refute them, but in order to prevent the misunderstanding from deepening, he had to make a clarification.
And TVB and Huaxing Records have come forward, as the filmmaker of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Dongcheng Imaging naturally supports Leslie Cheung! As the martial arts instructor and special effects production of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Cheng Xiaodong personally came forward to be interviewed to praise Leslie Cheung.
My brother likes the drama "A Chinese Ghost Story" very much, but it is also the hardest film he has filmed since the film. Because "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a costume film and a ghost movie. So I often had to spray smoke, put dry ice, hang the weigh, etc., and I insisted that he didn't use a stand-in, flipped to the ground, and went into battle in person. There are a total of 120 groups of scenes in this film, and he personally accounts for 11 groups, and the degree of hard work can be imagined. The filming took a long time, for many months (141 days), and many times it was said that it was almost finished, but it was delayed again and again. I don't know how many times I have said the phrase "the last play left". Although the shooting was very hard, my brother didn't mind, on the contrary, he felt that the hard work was worth it. He thinks that this drama is both well filmed and self-recognized, so he is willing to spend more time, and he has always admired Yan Zai, and he has high hopes for this film and expects good results.
Since even Dongcheng Imaging has come forward to support it, those reports slandering Leslie Cheung have suddenly disappeared. As Leslie Cheung's fans, they were finally relieved to see this scene. After all, no one wants their idol to be a big-name and arrogant person, and they have chosen to believe in Leslie Cheung!
And the reason why Lu Yan didn't come forward was actually because he didn't see the news at all. Because now he has rushed back to Taiwan for the New Year.
The most dramatic scene happened on the plane.
"Yan Zai, is it really you?"
In fact, Lu Yan, who works hard every day, has no time to rest at all, so he took a nap when he got on the plane. But hearing this confused but familiar voice, he consciously twisted his head to the side.
"Xiaoxian?" Seeing that the other party was wearing a hat, Lu Yan didn't recognize it all of a sudden.
Sure that the other party was Wang Zuxian, Lu Yancai laughed and said, "I didn't expect that we were actually on the same plane!" Are you also going home for the New Year? β
"Yes! I didn't notice it at first, but I didn't expect it to be you. Wang Zuxian was also a little surprised, she closed her eyes when she got on the plane. When I came back to my senses, I saw that it was Lu Yan who was next to me.
"It seems that we are quite fated, and I will also go home for the New Year!"
"Hmm......" Lu Yan on the set has always been very strict. Although there are occasional jokes, it is obviously not as fancy as it is now. The sudden change made Wang Zuxian blush slightly and said, "Yes! β
"Aren't you a very lively little girl on the set, why do you seem to be so restrained every time you see me! Don't worry, I'm just a little fierce when I'm shooting. Lu Yan blinked, so he looked like he thought he was cute.
"Whoa! You're the little girl. Lu Yan's appearance naturally amused Wang Zuxian. In fact, when she first came into contact with Lu Yan, it was almost like this. It's just that after a long time of shooting, Wang Zuxian has become accustomed to Lu Yan's often stiff face or angry look.
"Tsk! Now it's a big celebrity! No wonder he put on his hat and pulled it down. Half of your face is covered, I really don't recognize you. Lu Yan smiled slightly, he was still very sure of Wang Zuxian's efforts on the set.
"By the way, thank you!"
"Thank me? And I want to thank you! In fact, it's all your own hard work, Qiang Zai said, and now many directors invite you to star. But don't think that if you become popular for a while, you will take the script randomly. Otherwise, if there are too many bad movies, it will not be good for your future acting career. For his first big-name artist, Lu Yan is still very concerned. Even he has considered it, and personally helped his artists to check it when the time comes. What script and team, he still needs to consider.
"I mean, thank you for saving me on set that day!" Wang Zuxian looked at Lu Yan helplessly, and the other party obviously figured out what he meant.
"Huh!" Only then did Lu Yan understand, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, anyone will do it if they change." You see, I'm not all right now! β
As he spoke, he shook his hand.
This wave of his hand didn't matter, and suddenly made a flight attendant think that he needed some kind of service.
The rest of the matter is normal.
Immediately, everyone knew that the great director Lu Yan and Wang Zuxian, who is now popular because of "A Chinese Ghost Story", are actually on the same plane as themselves, but fortunately, under the reminder of the flight staff, everyone did not mess up.
However, Rao is like this, Lu Yan and Wang Zuxian are both signing and signing with sour hands.
Just after Lu Yan shook his hand, there was no communication between the two. When signing, they could only look at each other and smile bitterly.
"Yan Shao and Miss Wang are really a good match, talented and beautiful!"
"Yes! Oh, yes! You are the pride of our Taiwan! β
"I said it a long time ago, Yan Shao and Miss Wang must be procrastinating."
Everyone's words like this can only make Lu Yan smile bitterly. He didn't notice that Wang Zuxian beside him was slightly red!
The encounter on the plane, if it is due to Lu Yan's mistake. Then the grand occasion of arriving at Taipei Taoyuan Airport is completely because the news of their flight on this flight has long been exposed.
As directors and actresses who are now popular in Hong Kong, their whereabouts naturally cannot escape the eyes and ears of those paparazzi in Hong Kong. And such news was naturally transmitted to the Taiwan side immediately.
"King Lu's love affair officially surfaced, and the two returned to Taiwan on the same plane. γ
"It is rumored that Lu Yan and his girlfriend Wang Zuxian went home and wanted to ask their parents! γ
Hong Kong is hyping up the scandal between Lu Yan and Wang Zuxian, and Taiwan is naturally excited by the emergence of such two local figures who can mix in the Hong Kong film industry.
Lu Yan and Wang Zuxian, who have already arrived in Taiwan, of course, don't know that because the two happened to be on the same plane, the gossip scandal in Hong Kong became hot again.
However, the scene of getting off the plane really made them helpless.
"Director Lu, can you talk about ......?"
"Director Lu, are you coming back for the New Year this time!?"
"Miss Wang, are you really in a relationship with Director Lu?"
"Excuse me, will you come back this time to meet your parents?"
In many of the questions, Cantonese was even interspersed. Obviously, some Hong Kong reporters actually came to Taiwan in advance to wait. That's for today's interview at the airport!
Although the sudden situation caught Lu Yan and Wang Zuxian off guard, both of them had a very tacit understanding and left. Although I said a few words while walking, I quickly got out of the airport.
The reporters came out one after another to continue pestering, only to see that several bodyguards waiting at the door saw Lu Yan and quickly stepped forward to protect him. And the reporters were immediately separated from them.
"Don't say much, the boss asked us to pick you up!"
