Chapter 294: Personality Showmanship
Chapter 294: Personality is flamboyant
Although Lu Yan has been facing the media very gently or simply refusing to be interviewed for a long time. But in fact, what is in his bones is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
The remarks just now can be described as an explosive topic in the eyes of reporters.
Lu Yan, in fact, it hasn't changed
"Director Lui, are you expressing your dissatisfaction with the many phenomena in the Hong Kong film market today?" The reporter swallowed and hurriedly asked.
Lu Yan laughed at this reporter, it was a copy of Long Xiaomi at all. What I just said can be said to be very obvious. But Rao is like this, he actually deliberately asked in the hope of getting his most direct answer.
"I'm sure you'll do better than Reporter Long." Lu Yan actually patted the shoulder of the reporter in front of him affectionately, and then pushed aside the reporters and said, "That's all for today's interview."
With that, Lu Yan flashed into the Dongcheng Imaging Company.
Looking at Lu Yan's back, the reporters were satisfied today. In fact, Lu Yan is not bad for reporters many times. In their eyes, a public figure like Lu Yan is worth their time.
Because Lu Yan doesn't accept interviews, but he will definitely not be perfunctory when he is interviewed. And his words are always explosive news.
Unlike some artists, they will also play big names. In the interview that I followed while walking, I couldn't say a few questions in the end. And when Lu Yan is interviewed, then he will inevitably give a good explanation. Insiders and reporters are such a relationship. Cooperate with each other and feed each other.

"Yan Zai, you are really willing to spend time being interviewed" Liu Zhenwei in the company hall suddenly stepped forward quickly. When he saw Lu Yan coming, he was about to go over. But in the blink of an eye, he immediately retreated after seeing Lu Yan surrounded by reporters. After all, he didn't like to waste more tongue on such occasions.
The reason why Lu Yan came over today was to discuss with him about the release of "The Saint of Gambling".
"It's not for your new film, let's do some publicity for you" Lu Yan laughed and teased a few words, pulled his shoulders and said, "Let's go, the office said to go." ”
……………………………
"Yan Zai, this time the form is not very easy to do" Liu Zhenwei frowned, rubbed his hands and said anxiously: "This time, in addition to "Detective Chocolate", there are also "Eight Joys" and "Zombie Rebirth...... I knew that "Mong Kok Carmen" was so popular, I should have changed schedules with him for the release"
Looking at Liu Zhenwei's anxious appearance, Lu Yan smiled: "Why are you so worried...... "Gambling Saint", don't you think it's okay?" ”
"It's not, but the lineup of these movies is very strong" For "The Saint of Gambling", Liu Zhenwei has confidence. It's just that after all, it's the first time to direct, so it's inevitable that you will be a little anxious before the release
Lu Yan didn't say anything more, took a few movie materials handed over by Liu Zhenwei and began to watch them. Although he cheered Liu Zhenwei up in this way, the competition for the Spring Festival stalls has always been very fierce. It's no wonder that Liu Zhenwei is so anxious.
"Detective Chocolate" ......
It is no wonder that Liu Zhenwei has such worries, this work belongs to Xu's production. Xu Guanwen is okay, but Anita Mui, who became popular because of "Rouge Buckle", also participated in the filming of this movie.
Compared with the lineup of "The Saint of Gambling", such a lineup is naturally much better. But in Lu Yan's eyes, it was nothing. Although Anita Mui's performance in "Rouge Buckle" is very eye-catching, this "Detective Chocolate" is obviously a movie with humorous colors.
It was "Eight Joys", which made Lu Yan cry and laugh. This movie was supposed to belong to Debao Films, but because Debao Films was caught in the turmoil of being acquired. So this movie actually changed hands to Golden Harvest later.
"Wu Yaohan, Feng Baobao, Lu Fang, Luo Meiwei, Lou Nanguang......" Lu Yan looked at the list of actors, and suddenly grinned and said: "You don't have to worry about this movie at all."
It's not that Lu Yan doesn't like these movies, but because the styles of these movies are similar. All belong to the witty and funny style of the movie......
"Yan Zai, according to you, these movies are not opponents, aren't they?" Liu Zhenwei couldn't laugh or cry, and laughed after listening to Lu Yan's words: "I should really sigh along, where did you get your confidence?"
"It's not that I'm confident, I originally thought that this year's Spring Festival stalls would be so intense. But in this way, it seems that the movies in this year's Spring Festival file are a mess. There are a few other films to be released, you shouldn't have to worry about it......" Lu Yan knocked on the few documents on the table, pouted: "As for this "Zombie Rebirth", let alone mention. It's not Lin Zhengying...... It's a follow-the-trend film, which makes you make such a big and small work. ”
"But you have to know that "The Saint of Gambling" is also a newcomer. In real comparison, there is no chance of winning in terms of lineup. And the story is novel...... The plot of their movie is also difficult to say...... I think it's better to be cautious. ”
Liu Zhenwei thinks about it like this, and it is naturally not bad. After all, in his opinion, Stephen Chow and them really have no box office power at all. When the real exposure rate was high, it was only because of the fact that Lu Yan was handpicked as the leading actor that those media paid attention to it.
However, as Lu Yan, he naturally needs to give Liu Zhenwei confidence. And he also watched the finished film of "The Saint of Gambling". Compared with the original "Saint of Gambling", after Lu Yan's modification, it is even more funny. And this time, Liu Zhenwei can be said to have made great efforts to direct.
Although Wang Jing was busy working on the new script "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley", as the nominal producer of "The Saint of Gambling", he also personally conducted it in the past and had many exchanges with Liu Zhenwei.
After all, he directed "God of Gamblers", and he obviously has more experience than Liu Zhenwei. Another big reason why Lu Yan was quite satisfied with the completion of "The Saint of Gambling" this time was that Liu Weiqiang was on the side.
"Anyway, I'll handle the premiere, so don't worry. This movie is filmed, you have a good rest. I'll conceive a new script during the Spring Festival, and I'm still optimistic about your screenwriting level......"
"Hmm" In this regard, Liu Zhenwei nodded very seriously.
Lu Yan's new film release operation can be described as 'god-level'. Don't mention the previous movies, the results of "Mong Kok Carmen" are in front of you. Wong Kar-wai, like himself, is also a rookie director. Although his cast is stronger than himself, the script of "The Saint of Gambling" was written by Lu Yan himself. And as the sister chapter of "God of Gamblers", which was a box office boom at the beginning, the gimmick must be full.

"With Lu Yan's comments, look at "Mong Kok Carmen" again
This "Mong Kok Carmen" is Wong Kar-wai's directorial debut*. Wong Kar-wai combines his unique visual style with traditional Hong Kong underworld action films, bringing MTV-style abstract visuals and poetic romance to this film, thus showing an alternative style that is different from other action movies.
Lu Yan's comments can be described as hitting the nail on the head.
The chivalrous emotions and soft love between the characters are handled elegantly but not stagnantly, and the more sensual treatment is between the broken storyline and the messy color images. This kind of perceptual film performance breaks through the stereotyped defects of previous Hong Kong underworld action films, and makes people have a refreshing feeling. The artistic feeling added to the commercial elements has become a creative new action movie among many action movies of the year. "Carmen in Mong Kok" also fully demonstrates Wong Kar-wai's cinematic mystery and visual beauty, and he makes the film stand out from an extremely secular and stereotyped Hong Kong film.
It can be said that Lu Yan single-handedly tapped the potential of Wong Kar-wai and created "Carmen in Mong Kok"
I think many filmmakers should learn from Yan Zai. Don't stick to the rules, but cultivate more talents for Hong Kong films. Movies, as Lu Yan said, are definitely not just a simple tool for making money. A film can sometimes reflect the current state of society and the local culture of Hong Kong......
Here, we might as well look forward to whether the soon-to-be released "The Saint of Gambling" will be as refreshing to us as the original "God of Gamblers"?
……………………………………………
The beauty of this film review is that it integrates Lu Yan's answer. At the end, there is a faint meaning of deliberately firing at the new art city. Even, it can be understood that this film critic is completely provoking the old grudge between Dongcheng Image and New Art City......
When the news of Lu Yan's interview was exposed, the film critic went to watch "Mong Kok Carmen" again. 》
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
But Lu Yan's answer still caused a big exaggeration in the film industry*. The reporters added fuel and vinegar and fanned the flames, which suddenly made Lu Yan the target of many veteran filmmakers
Lu Yan Answers with a Smile: Today's Hong Kong Films Are Extremely Secularized and Patterned"
Lu Yan said frankly: Following the trend and shoddy production are the drawbacks of movies. 》
"Dongcheng Images, is it leading Hong Kong films? 》
"Lu Yan Answers, Satirizing Old Film Giants such as New Art City and Golden Harvest ......"
……………………………………
Public opinion was in an uproar*, and Lu Yan once again became a typical representative of unruliness
However, for such a report, Lu Yan had already expected it when he answered. The bombardment of the old filmmakers? What are other companies targeting?
Lu Yan really didn't think about these carefully, because he just wanted to point to the pain of Hong Kong movies. There should always be such a person who starts to sweep away the cheats for Hong Kong movies. And now Lu Yan's identity and flamboyant personality are indeed well-deserved candidates.
