Chapter 140: The Coquettish Premiere
I don't know if it was deliberate or coincidental, the premiere of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was once again arranged by Dongcheng Imaging to be released at the Sanxiang Cinema in Kowloon.
Could it be that Dongcheng Imaging thinks that this movie theater can once again create such brilliance as "The True Color of Heroes"?
As a scandalous figure and a newly rising idol director in the Hong Kong film industry, Lu Yan's second work naturally attracted a large number of media reporters.
Although the publicity response of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is not very good, the arrival of the audience and various mainstream media from today is obviously a different scene!
"Hopefully the film won't be as bad as those reports, right? To be able to make a movie like "The True Color of Heroes", I am still optimistic about the words! ”
"Who knows! If I hadn't been lucky enough to get tickets for the premiere, I'd really want to see Police Story! ”
"What's so good about "Police Story", this movie is starring our brother! It's definitely not going to be bad!! And in the promotional video, my brother is so hard! When I saw him smoking, his hands trembled slightly! ”
"Speaking of which, that Wang Zuxian's costume is really beautiful! I haven't felt it before...... It's cheaper for Lu Yan's cabbage! ”
In addition to the loyal audience of "The True Color of Heroes", most of the rest are all fans of Leslie Cheung. This undoubtedly proves that Leslie Cheung's status in the music world is now even more like Zhongtian!
"Ah!!h Suddenly, there was a scream, which made the others look sideways. I saw a group of fans holding up Leslie Cheung's poster, and suddenly shouted in a mess.
"Brother is here!"
"Wow, today's brother is so pretty!"
"It's really handsome, I look at the poster that he plays Ning Caichen is so bookish!"
"Yes, yes. If anyone says that this movie is not good, I will scold him to death! "Before this movie was released, there were already fans of Leslie Cheung who made such a voice.
Leslie Cheung's appearance naturally caused chaos at the scene. If there is anyone who is the biggest, the most appealing and well-known in this "A Chinese Ghost Story", then it is undoubtedly Leslie Cheung.
Hearing countless fans shouting his 'brother', Leslie Cheung felt very happy. This nickname shouted by Wang Zuxian didn't expect it to become popular with his fans so quickly.
He smiled and waved at the crowd of fans, and immediately let the group of people over there fry the pot again. Then the shouting came more enthusiastically and more passionately!
"Brother, how do you feel about the new film you starred in?"
"I heard that you had a high fever during filming, but you still filmed the water scene for three days and three nights in a row?"
"I heard that there will be a meat scene between you and Wang Zuxian in the movie, how big is the scale?"
The appearance of Leslie Cheung not only drove the excitement of those fans waiting at the door of the cinema, but also made the reporters who had been waiting for a long time rush up.
"Of course I'm so confident in the movie I'm starring!"
"I did have a high fever during that time, and the director meant to let me rest. But the movie is rushing, and I really can't let it go...... Everyone is so attentive, and the directors are also sick. But fortunately, everyone persevered, and the shooting during that time helped me a lot! ”
"It's not really a meat scene, it's just a few sets of shots......"
"Yes, the theme song this time is still done by Yan Zai himself. I have to say that our director is definitely an all-rounder! This song will be heard by everyone later......"
For these reporters' questions, Leslie Cheung still answered them one by one very elegantly. In fact, many times the actors will have a lot of motivation for the movie. If they talk about their new films in interviews, it will naturally make the hearts of those who follow him start to move.
Among the actors who came next, there was obviously no one more attractive than Leslie Cheung. If you insist on counting one, then it is Wang Zuxian, the female number one. And the reason why he was able to attract a lot of reporters to besiege him was that it was terrible - because you were Lu Yan's rumored girlfriend!
These reporters obviously don't care about how she performed in the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story", how and how she filmed. On the contrary, what I am most concerned about is the recent accident at Shaw Brothers Studios. This incident also allowed Lu Yan to rest in the hospital for more than half a month.
And the next news is even more confusing. In the case of fractures, Lu Yan was able to defeat one against three? Kick someone away with a flick kick...... This kind of news is undoubtedly much more valuable than the interview of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
However, the current Wang Zuxian is no longer the little girl who just came to Hong Kong from Taiwan. After the scandal with Lu Yan at the beginning, she encountered many reporters of all kinds. It was precisely because of the ignorance at the beginning that I was played by these reporters.
Now that time has passed, Wang Zuxian has been able to deal with these reporters almost as well.
What should be said, what should be answered is answered, and everything else, all ignored!
Compared with the situation of the male protagonist and the heroine, actors such as Wu Ma, who are male supporting actors, are not very popular with reporters. Only a few tabloid reporters couldn't squeeze into the crowd, so they couldn't interject so they reluctantly began to interview them.
The questions asked are naturally commonplace.
Among media reporters, it is not like making a movie. Everyone is fighting with each other, and the reporters of the big newspapers undoubtedly occupy the high point.
The main creators also came hand in hand, Cheng Xiaodong and Liu Weiqiang...... As the five major teams of Dongcheng Image, they naturally came together. Even Huang Zhan came with them this time.
Seeing this scene, the reporters were naturally surprised. I remember that when "The True Color of Heroes" was released in the summer, Uncle Zhan and Lu Yan came hand in hand. At that time, the two talked and laughed, and once ignored all their reporters!
And today's Uncle Zhan actually appeared with Cheng Xiaodong and them?
"Uncle Zhan, won't Director Lu come today?"
Journalists with good deeds will naturally not let go of such problems. After all, up to now, as the director of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Lu Yan has not yet appeared! Could it be that something was wrong?
For such a question, Huang Zhan suddenly laughed and said, "He called me and asked me if I appeared with him!" But I flatly refused! Because it will be unlucky to appear at the same time with a director in a plaster cast! ”
"Poof......
"Haha......"
Regarding Huang Zhan's old man's tricks, the reporters immediately laughed. It was Liu Weiqiang and them, and they had to shake their heads helplessly and smile bitterly. If someone else is replaced, who would dare to say 'unlucky' at the premiere!
If the entire crew has the most news-shaping ability, then it is undoubtedly this belated director - Lu Yan. And today's appearance and outfit are enough for reporters to portray and describe.
In fact, Lu Yan's clothing today is very decent. But the left hand with a plaster cast is red at the moment!
I can't help it! At the premiere, it is always unlucky to show a large white gauze. In the end, Lu Yan chose a piece of red silk cloth and wrapped it up.
It is precisely because of this shape that how many reporters' films have been murdered!
"Director Lu, this movie is not favored by most people, what do you think!?" Lu Yan smiled and groaned before he arrived, and was immediately surrounded by countless reporters. Even the reporters who were interviewing Leslie Cheung rushed over one after another.
Such a scene suddenly made everyone helpless.
"It's just us, the director, who has such magic!"
"I don't think Yan Shao is more popular than me at all, no wonder you don't need any big names to make movies......"
Not only did Leslie Cheung laugh and talk, but Lu Yan also looked at these reporters with tears and laughter: "You just left out all my actors, who will take over my movies in the future!" ”
"I think it varies from person to person! Of course, I am very confident in my work! ”
"Director Lu, what kind of goal is it at the box office of this movie?"
"The goal? It's hard to say. Just like the original "True Colors of Heroes", we never thought that there would be much box office. In my opinion, as long as the movie is made well, then it will naturally attract the audience! ”
"So it seems that your target box office this time is no worse than "The True Color of Heroes"?"
Regarding the trap of reporters, Lu Yan smiled and waved his hand: "You don't use my words, even if I say 'yes', so what? And you will publish the newspapers that I am starting to be arrogant...... But "The True Color of Heroes" has achieved such box office results, isn't it also step by step? In short, I have given a lot to "A Chinese Ghost Story", and naturally hope that it can get a good return! ”
"I heard that there are only a dozen theaters at the premiere of "A Chinese Ghost Story", is Debao Cinema not optimistic about this movie?"
The questions are acute and intractable.
Lu Yan raised his eyelids, but his cold face suddenly laughed and said, "Reporter Long! Look at what you said, if I don't answer well, I'll offend Boss Pan. Every movie is so easy to be spoiled, unless it's really rough. Not everyone will make a bad comment before contact! The reason why there are only so many theaters is because there are too many movies in this year's Spring Festival......"
Not everyone will make a bad judgment before they get in touch! ’
As soon as these words came out, Lu Yan was undoubtedly insinuating these reporters and some filmmakers who were not optimistic about "A Chinese Ghost Story"!
And the journalists, apparently, are not annoyed by such words. When everyone heard this, they immediately felt that they could make news if they dug any further. Just as they began to phrase and prepare to ask questions, Lu Yan's fluttering words suddenly made them die!
"Oops! The audience is a little impatient to wait, so let's stop the interview for a while! I think all the big reporters are also looking forward to this movie, let's go! "A Chinese Ghost Story" will not disappoint you! ”
