Chapter 301: I Wish to Be a Pioneer
Are Hong Kong films in trouble? In fact, the current Hong Kong films are still in the exhibition stage. It's just that there are too many works that follow the trend and shoddy productions, resulting in many good movies being buried. Moreover, several major film companies control the theater problem, and it is difficult for small film companies to have a top-notch work.
Therefore, Lu Yan has some headlines when he talks about the innovation of Hong Kong films.
"In fact, like several major film companies such as Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest, there are many very talented directors. Such as Mr. Mai Jia, Huang Baiming, and Mr. Tsui Hark...... Or Brother Sanmao, Brother Jackie Chan, they ......" Speaking of this, Lu Yan paused and said: "Of course, there are still many newcomers. For example, like Wong Kar-wai and Liu Zhenwei......"
Hearing Lu Yan's words, the reporters immediately laughed.
Just now, he also said that the situation of Hong Kong film innovation needs Hong Kong filmmakers to come to the exhibition together, and in addition to holding down a few bigwigs from Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest, he actually turned around and directly talked about Wong Kar-wai and Liu Zhenwei, who had just become popular under their own company. Although he later brought several new directors from Xinyicheng by the way, it was clear that he was praising his own people.
"Don't you laugh" Lu Yan looked at the reporters laughing, but became serious: "Our Dongcheng film is also a part of Hong Kong movies." And Wang Jiajian and Liu Zhenwei are indeed very good and thoughtful rookie directors. In the case of the first work they directed, it has been proven"
Now the reporters can be considered to understand. It turned out that everyone thought that Lu Yan was deliberately avoiding this problem. But I didn't expect Lu Yan to go around in such a big circle, and he actually came back to praise Wang Jiajian and Liu Zhenwei and a few of their newcomers?
Originally, the reporters were not prepared to dwell on this issue, but when they heard Lu Yan say it, they immediately became interested.
"In this way, Yan Tsai is admitting that Hong Kong films are about to have film innovation, even if other film companies don't take the lead, they shouldn't be left behind when they come to Dongcheng Films."
"There's no need to be deliberate about this kind of thing, our company is always looking for a better film model. As for whether to innovate or not, I don't think it's necessary to say more. Lu Yan smiled slightly, and when it was time to pinch it, he resolutely refused to answer any questions in this regard.
But on this topic, journalists have been satisfied. Because of the question Lu Yan answered just now, the reporters can obviously make a big fuss. According to Lu Yan's own words, then Dongcheng Imaging will inevitably be at the forefront of Hong Kong film innovation, but such words do not have to be explicitly stated
Therefore, many reporters are quickly filming Lu Yan's expression at this moment.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
"So Director Lu, is "Rock and Roll Youth" about to be completed now?"
Lu Yan shook his head, but nodded again and said: "The filming of "Rock and Roll Youth" is indeed close to the completion stage. It's just that the rest of the scenes are more difficult to shoot. After all, everyone also knows that whether it is the members of Beynd or Zhou Huimin and others, they are all newcomers. So in terms of acting, I need to temper it slowly, I think, it will take a while for everyone to meet "Rock and Roll Youth"
"Is the Hung Hom Stadium rented for the filming of Rock 'n' Roll Youth, or is it rumored to be hosting a concert for Beynd? Why are the staff of Huaxing Records also busy in the Hung Hom Sports Center? Is there a joint shoot? The reporter immediately threw this question again, since Lu Yan said that the later stage of filming will be more difficult. Then, it is more likely to be co-filmed with Huaxing Records.
It is precisely because of this that Huaxing Records will have so many staff in the Hung Hom Stadium
Regarding this question, Lu Yan nodded without denying it: "It is indeed a joint shooting, here, I take this opportunity to thank Huaxing Records." In order to help shoot this "Rock and Roll Youth", they are all full support......"
"So, is it true that Mr. Li Xiaotian trained Beyne?"
At the beginning, Beynd went to Huaxing Records every day, and there were such rumors within Huaxing Records. Therefore, Lu Yan simply followed the topic and said: "Yes, after all, this is a work with music and dreams." The members of Beynd are all underground rockers, so they may be a little lacking in professionalism. With Mr. Lai's training, I believe Beyne's performance will add a lot to this film. ”
Everyone was a little surprised, Lu Yan had rarely started to answer questions so positively since his remarks last year. And the attitude has always been very good.
In this case, the reporters suddenly began to ask more questions: "So will the Band Beynd hold a concert at the Hung Hom Stadium?" ”
Lu Yan pouted and said, "This question has nothing to do with the movie "Rock and Roll Youth", right?" ”
"Is it okay?"
"Could it be that the Band Beynd starred in the movie, and the final plot was to hold a concert at the Hung Hom Sports Center? So, this time, Yanzai, you invited the staff of Huaxing Records to join us? ”
Regarding this matter, the reporters did not hesitate at all like the staff of Dongcheng Imaging and Huaxing Records. Lu Yan's personality, aren't they still clear? In order to shoot the movie "God of Gamblers", all the relevant staff went to the Lisboa Casino for filming.
So if Lu Yan rented the Hung Hom Stadium, it was to shoot a plot such as Beynd's concert. They all chose to believe without hesitation
Let Lu Yan get the audience scene of other singers singing, and then combine it with the footage of Beynd singing? Everyone doesn't have to think about it, Lu Yan will not have such a choice for his own movie.
"So, will the concert be ticketed?"
Since you want to shoot such a scene, you must have an audience. Then, Lu Yan will definitely not just let some staff members support the scene......
Listening to the reporters throwing out questions one after another, Lu Yan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. It is undeniable that these journalists do have a strong ability to associate. The basic plot and conception are almost the same as they guessed.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
Seeing that Lu Yan didn't answer the question, he just looked at everyone with a smile. Journalists, suddenly anxious.
"Director Lu, please answer me."
"Although this matter involves the plot of "Rock and Roll Youth", it will definitely not have any impact on the movie"
"Beynd already has a lot of fans at the University of Hong Kong now, even if it is in the form of ticket sales, there should be people cheering?"
……………………………………
Whether Lu Yan will create such a situation in the form of ticket sales, reporters can't guess. After all, when Yan Zai does things, there is absolutely no trace to ponder.
He doesn't sell tickets, so naturally it makes sense. Because after all, it is for the filming of the movie, and the audience is invited to come to the Hung Hom Sports Center to watch. Then the audience will inevitably come.
But if the tickets are sold, the reporters also fully feel that Lu Yan may make such a thing. Even if some people think that such a ticketed concert is suspected of cheating money. But Lu Yan started filming, and everyone was able to witness it with their own eyes. And it's hard to say, Beynd may be the real singer when the time comes......
Such a situation is also absolutely possible.
In this regard, Lu Yan waved his hand and said: "I will not answer anything about the plot of the movie. Okay, I'm going to do a rush shoot. Thank you for your interest in me and the movie "Rock 'n' Roll Youth......"
While talking, Lu Yan broke away from the reporter and entered the Hung Hom Stadium with the help of the staff who came over.
……………………………
The reporters watched with some anxiety as Lu Yan's figure slowly entered the Hung Hom Gymnasium, but although their faces were anxious, they did not have the slightest annoyance.
Because today's Lu Yan has answered many questions. These answers are enough for them to do enough and compelling news
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
The reporters left happily, and of course many reporters are still squatting and waiting. They hope to get some more news.
"Director, you've been talking to those reporters for a long time...... Yi Shouyi said with a snicker, in his opinion. Lu Yan's contact with reporters is similar to small talk.
As long as the little boss wants to reveal the information, then he will naturally speak. And the news that he doesn't want to make public for the time being will deliberately give an ambiguous answer for those reporters to guess for themselves.
It is precisely because of all kinds of speculation that such news will attract more attention.
And the benefits are undoubtedly Lu Yan and these reporters
"Well, I talked to them. But I don't know what they're going to write......"
Lu Yan pretended to be helpless, but in fact, his goal had been achieved. Now those reporters can't wait to go back to catch up with the manuscript.
When such news appears, tomorrow will inevitably make the headlines on the front pages of various entertainment weeklies.
"What kind of eyes are you looking at?" After finishing speaking, Lu Yan immediately showed Yi Shoupiao's somewhat faint eyes. He immediately laughed and scolded: "Hurry up and prepare for shooting, it's really confusing to ......"
"Tangled?"
Yi Shouyi didn't think so, he snickered and hurried to let Huang Jiaju and the others start to prepare.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
In the Hung Hom Sports Center, a busy rush to shoot is going on. Journalists, on the other hand, have sent their manuscripts back to major newspaper companies. All of a sudden, the editors of all entertainment magazines and newspapers quickly began to get busy.
The next day, sure enough.
Many entertainment sections throughout Hong Kong are photos of Lu Yan. He was smiling, but his eyes were a little cold.
The reports on the side are different. However, everyone revolves around one topic, and that is the topics that Lu Yan answered
"Dongcheng Imaging will be the vanguard of innovation"
Lu Yan, who rushed to the Hung Hom Stadium yesterday to take pictures, was interviewed by this reporter. Lu Yan said that if Hong Kong films really set off film innovation. Then as an image of Dongcheng, it will inevitably be at the forefront. He said that Dongcheng Imaging has been seeking a better way to film exhibitions.
Moreover, he also named the names of many directors such as New Art City and Golden Harvest. In addition to veteran directors such as Mai Jia, there are also directors such as Tsui Hark, who was born in the 'new (wave) tide'.
He believes that these directors are capable of making better works to promote the exhibition of Hong Kong films.
The new directors are represented by Wong Kar-wai and Liu Zhenwei......
Of course, we can't ignore Lu Yan, a talented director in the Hong Kong film industry.
…………………………………
"Lu Yan admits that Dongcheng Imaging is co-shooting with Huaxing Records"
The filming of "Rock and Roll Youth" has been moved to the Hung Hom Stadium for filming. In addition to the behind-the-scenes staff of "Rock and Roll Youth", many staff members of Huaxing Records settled in.
I can't imagine that there were rumors that Beynd would hold a concert at the Hung Hom Stadium. Then now it seems that it must be the needs of the plot of the movie.
It's just that on this question, Lu Yan is unwilling to answer more questions head-on. However, regarding Li Xiaotian's training of Beynd, Lu Yan said that this was indeed the case.
However, it is a matter of whether Beynd will actually hold a concert at the Hung Hom Coliseum. Lu Yan didn't make any answer......
If it's just for filming, then the audience can naturally have lucky people to enter for free. If a concert is indeed going to be held, I wonder how many viewers want to buy tickets to enter the Hung Hom Coliseum to watch the filming of "Rock 'n' Roll Youth" and the concert of Beyne?
This matter needs to be pondered
However, we have no doubt about Lu Yan's courage. When filming "God of Gamblers", even if it was five million. Lu Yan took the team to the Lisboa Casino in Macau for filming, and this time he rented the Hung Hom Stadium to shoot the new film, and everyone will not be too surprised
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
Such reports began to flood entertainment magazines and newspapers of all sizes.
"Rock and Roll Youth" once again entered the audience's eyes. Whether this movie will be wonderful or not, everyone doesn't know. Perhaps, what everyone really cares about at this moment is more about the innovation of Hong Kong films. And the band Beyne, will actually hold a concert at the Hung Hom Stadium?
Otherwise, is it necessary for Huaxing Records to arrange so many staff members to enter the Hung Hom Stadium?
