Chapter 277: New Film Press Conference
Chapter 277 New Film Press Conference
"Thank you for coming to the press conference for the launch of "Rock and Roll Youth" Lu Yan looked at the reporters with a smile on his face, signaling the official start of the press conference: ""Rock and Roll Youth" is a youth inspirational film, and some scenes will be filmed at the University of Hong Kong. The starring role is played by the Beyond band, and the heroine is the one next to me - Zhou Huimin"
In fact, some of the information revealed by Lu Yan was already obtained by reporters yesterday. Even the entertainment page early this morning was a report on Lu Yan's youth inspirational film.
It's just that the heroine ...... It really surprised everyone
However, sharp-eyed reporters have already recognized Zhou Huimin.
"May I ask Director Lu, why did you suddenly choose Miss Zhou Huimin as the heroine of this film?"
"Accident is just accidental" Lu Yan thought it was funny, and he went to TVB to select actors at that time. Unexpectedly, I saw Zhou Huimin in Tvb's company, and since he found the head of the Yu Girl faction, of course Lu Yan was blue-eyed. Although many artists in the TVB company are able to play this role. Because for the heroine, Lu Yan's portrayal is not plump. So if you want to find a vase heroine, it's not a big deal.
Among TVB's signed artists, many of them are selected by Miss Hong Kong. To have a posture, to be innocent and innocent. To be a vase heroine, that's no problem at all.
However, since Zhou Huimin has been discovered, of course Lu Yan will not choose other actresses to replace him. For this reason, he also specially added the original role of the heroine. Try to make the image of the heroine more vivid.
Later, I learned that Zhou Huimin participated in an amateur DJ competition not long ago and won the runner-up. This kind of identity is more in line with the moral of this "Rock and Roll Youth".
"Because of this film, I hope to use all newcomers to create a refreshing youth inspirational film. So in terms of the heroine, I also started looking for a newcomer. Later, it was found that Miss Zhou Huimin was very suitable for the characteristics of the character, and she also won the runner-up in the amateur DJ competition not long ago, which is more in line with some of the main points of the heroine in "Rock and Roll Youth". And at that time, she and the members of the Beyond band will have more common words when they work together" Lu Yan twitched her lips and smiled: "Didn't you expect it, I know that many of you guess Xiaoxian, but she has been so busy lately." As for what I'm busy with, I won't do publicity for Wang Jing."
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.
Isn't this called propaganda? Who doesn't know that Wang Zuxian is starring in "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley" directed by Wang Jing
But then again, according to what Lu Yan said. Zhou Huimin is indeed very suitable for starring in Lu Yan's "Rock and Roll Youth". There are so many reporters who know that Zhou Huimin has participated in the rookie singing contest held by Huaxing. And according to Lu Yan, she also won the runner-up of amateur DJ. So an actress who can sing and be a DJ is indeed very suitable for this movie.
The title says it all, and the fact that Beyond is an underground rock band is well known to everyone
In this way, it seems to be a script tailored by Lu Yan for the Beyond band and Zhou Huimin?
In fact, this idea can be completely verified. After Lu Yan signed the Beyond band, Dongcheng Imaging revealed that it was going to start preparing for a new film. So, from another point of view, Lu Yan's movie was specially made to make the Beyond band popular.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
If you have an idea, you will naturally have a problem. Even if the answer is already coming out.
"Huang Jiaju, as the leader of the Beyond band. What was your mood when you met Director Lu for the first time? At that time, did you already think that you would get such a chance? When asked, the reporter also blinked his eyes very humorously and said: "You must know that we are in Hong Kong, but how many artists hope to be able to appear in Director Lu's movies?"
Huang Jiaju faced the camera in such a situation, but he was very shy. The rest of the band Beyond smiled when they heard this. Thinking of the first time they met Lu Yan at that time, their hearts were very worried.
"Actually, it was Yi Tsai who came to inform us that time, and our first reaction at that time was that a liar came" Huang Jiaju pursed his lips and grinned: "Later, we were all so happy to get confirmation." Dressed up well, took the tune and their respective instruments and went on a rampage to the East City Image. Unexpectedly, the receptionist at the front desk said that the director was waiting for us, which flattered us, knowing that we had been to many record companies to recommend ourselves. The result...... At that time, we thought that the director might ask us to do an interlude or something, but we didn't expect to sign a contract directly and tell us that he would make a debut film for us......"
Huang Jiaju, who knew this, recalled that time, but the more he talked, the more excited he became.
Unexpectedly, his words fell, and a reporter immediately asked: "So, Director Lu's film is personally tailored for you?" ”
"Hmm" Huang Jiaju's eyes suddenly drifted to Lu Yan. The head of Beyond, who has no ability to parry the media, naturally knows that he seems to have said the wrong thing.
Regarding this matter, Lu Yan smiled indifferently: "Of course, the name of this movie, you can see that I tailor-made it for the Beyond band."
"Rock 'n' Roll Youth", the band Beyond.
Obviously, there is an inevitable connection, if this movie is Lu Yan who first formulated the script and prepared to shoot it, then there will be such a rumor first. And in terms of casting, it must be a well-known mess. But this time, it was clear that there was a signing with Beyond first, followed by a movie about a rock band. Even if Huang Jiaju doesn't say it, everyone can figure out this answer.
"Oh......"
Hearing Lu Yan's answer, Huang Jiaju also smiled shyly. The members of the band Beyond are obviously not used to these long guns and short cannons against themselves.
"When is the film expected to be finished? You know, there are many people looking forward to Director Lu's new film."
"It's really uncertain, but "Rock and Roll Youth" will officially start filming tomorrow and worship God, and the venue will be at the University of Hong Kong. But there will be no more press conferences at that time......" Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled at the reporter: "So, if you have any questions, you have to finish asking them today."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Miss Zhou Huimin, is there a lot of pressure to receive Director Lu's new film?"
"That's for sure, when I first received the notice, I couldn't sleep for a day when I was excited, and I was always worried that I wouldn't be able to act well, after all, I didn't have any experience" Zhou Huimin looked worried, showing a cute expression and said: "But the director has talked to me, as long as he performs in his true colors." Don't be too deliberate."
"So, do you have the confidence to surpass the actresses in Director Lu's previous films?" Journalists naturally like to create topics, especially comparative topics are the easiest to increase sales
When Zhou Huimin heard such a question, she was very cautious and said: "I never thought that they are like Zhu Baoyi, Wang Zuxian, and Anita Mui, they are all predecessors with super good acting skills, I just hope not to live up to the director's expectations."
Oh, yes
When the reporters arrived at this meeting, they remembered that it seemed that the members of the Beyond band and Zhou Huimin had no experience of acting. In the past, Lu Yan liked to use newcomers, but at least they were all people in the circle. More or less, they have all made movies. But this time, a newcomer with no shooting experience will be used......
"Director Lu, why did you choose an actor with no shooting experience to play this time? Is it just to launch Beyond? ”
"No, no" Lu Yan shook his head again and again, explaining: "Every movie I make, it will never be for the purpose of launching a certain actor or member, because this kind of thing is mutual, if the movie is not good." So how can an audience buy it? If the audience doesn't buy it, why talk about launching the Beyond band? If it's just to launch a band, I might as well recommend them to some record labels."
Speaking, Lu Yan said very seriously: "I think our current movies are a little too impetuous, and there are no inspirational movies that really target young people." So I wanted to create a film like this that would establish a normal outlook on life for young people. Of course, it might sound like big talk. However, I want to do my part. And I'm really optimistic about Beyond, their group of brothers who are about the same age as me are very hard to chase their own music, even if they are tired and tired, they have always insisted on not giving up
I think if you've ever known about Beyond some time ago, you'll know it. They even went to work part-time to prepare for a small concert. Their concerts didn't make any money, or even lost money, but they were chasing their music dreams, hoping to let beautiful music share with everyone......"
"You can make money by making movies, but you can't be full of money as a public figure and a means of cultural dissemination. I hope that our movies have connotation in them. The distinction between commercial films and literary films is not so obvious, but the focus is different. I hope that our Hong Kong movies can get better and better."
