Chapter 112: Press Conference

The worship ceremony was vigorous, and Lu Yan even invited a lion dance team to perform. Everything is to give "A Chinese Ghost Story" a good start.

However, although the atmosphere was quite harmonious at this time, the press conference was held. Those long guns and short cannons did not give the now famous rookie director a little face, and although Leslie Cheung rose in the music industry, he did not make the slightest difference in the movie at all. As for Wang Zuxian, he is just a little newcomer from Taiwan.

"Director Lu, is this movie a remake of "A Chinese Ghost Story" directed by Li Hanxiang?"

"Yes! It's one of the great ways to pay homage to my predecessors and learn from them, and director Li Hanxiang is one of my favorite directors. Now facing these media reporters, Lu Yan has long been familiar with them.

"Director Li Hanxiang's Fengyue film is also very good, is this movie similar to his classical style or Fengyue style?" Long Mi on the side quickly squeezed forward and asked.

It's very faceless!

This was the reaction of everyone present, even many journalists. Although they like to pester the interviewer a lot of the time, they rarely ask such an annoying question in person.

However, they obviously have great 'admiration' for Long Xiaomi! Without such journalists, how can there be good journalism! As for Long Xiaomi, he has no friendship with his peers. "Apple Newspaper" is also a loner in the Hong Kong industry. Even with its staff, they don't have any friends with them.

Regarding this problem, Lu Yan was very calm. However, Leslie Cheung on the side, his originally smiling face suddenly became gloomy. Regarding Fengyue films, it has always been a pain in his heart. And this dragon millet is undoubtedly ironizing Leslie Cheung and deliberately revealing the other party's scars!

"This movie is just a remake of "A Chinese Ghost Story", doesn't Reporter Long have a long brain?" Seeing Long Xiaomi taking this opportunity to mock Leslie Cheung, Lu Yan suddenly felt unhappy. But he suppressed his anger and said it in a contemptuous voice.

"Poof......

"Hmm......"

Everyone present, including the reporters, chuckled.

And Long Xiaomi, obviously, twitched the corners of his mouth. His expression naturally fell on the shots of many peers.

News, sure enough, is big news again. Lu Yan met Long Millet, and it was really the tip of the needle!

scolded reporters in public for having no brains, and such a director is the first one. And the key point is that Long Xiaomi once said that Lu Yan "A moment of brilliance does not mean eternity".

But this sentence, Leslie Cheung was also presented. Compared with Cai Fenghua's unintentional words, Long Xiaomi's report at that time was obviously a play on the topic.

"Today is the press conference for the launch of "A Chinese Ghost Story", I hope you have not deviated from the topic." Lu Yan didn't give Long Xiaomi a chance to refute at all, but just said this lightly and then stopped paying attention to him.

"I heard that Director Cheng once went to the United States and hoped to invite a stunt team to do the production, is it true?"

Of course, the other reporters did not stop the interview, and since Lu Yan had already made it clear, they also began to ask about everything about "A Chinese Ghost Story".

"Yes, but when I arrived in the United States to contact them. They had already taken on a few films, so they didn't have time to come over and work on them. Director Lu has great enthusiasm for this film, and I believe that our new film will have good results. Cheng Xiaodong didn't expect the reporter to ask this question, and immediately replied after reacting.

"Really? So will this movie be full of stunts like director Tsui Hark's "The Legend of Shu Mountain"? ”

"Well, there were a lot of places where you needed the help of stunts to shoot this movie. However, the content of the movie itself is also important, and the stunts only play a supporting role! Lu Yan thought for a moment and replied. At that time, the box office of "The Legend of Shushan" was okay, but the content was noisy by the audience and film critics. Because the "Legend of Shushan" obviously pursues the effect of stunts too much, and ignores the plot of the movie itself. As a result, the whole movie has nothing to see except for gorgeous stunts

The whole press conference that followed became the world of Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuxian. However, Leslie Cheung, who was scarred by Long Xiaomi just now, was obviously not interested. Many questions are answered officially.

And because Wang Zuxian, who had an affair with Lu Yan before, suddenly became the object of reporters' questioning. , this girl who is still very simple now, obviously has not been smoothed out by the entertainment industry. In the face of reporters, he is not as old as other artists.

"How did you feel when you received this movie? You have to know how many local actresses in Hong Kong have said that they can star in Yan Zai's movies......"

The phenomenon of xenophobia in Hong Kong is still extremely serious. If it weren't for her superb acting skills and starring in several movies with good box office, it would be difficult for Lin Qingxia to be recognized by Hong Kong people. Because of this, these reporters clearly distinguish Wang Zuxian from Hong Kong local actresses.

However, Wang Zuxian didn't notice this, she just answered her thoughts at the time.

When she said the sentence "Director Lu said that the script was tailor-made for me......", the audience was stunned. Leslie Cheung and the others also looked at Lu Yan sideways...... And Wang Zuxian obviously understood that he said a very inappropriate sentence at this time.

Rao is Lu Yan, who has been smiling all the time, couldn't help but roll in his mood. At this time, he could only continue to pretend to be very indifferent.

In the whole scene, only the group of reporters had joy on their faces.

"Tailor-made" script, for Wang Zuxian?

Some of the information in it is enough for them to play on the topic. When the time comes, as long as you add some of your own imagination, it will be enough to stimulate sales. The scandal between Lu Yan and Wang Zuxian has long become one of the topics of Hong Kong citizens. At this time, such an inside story broke out, and it was obvious that Lu Yan had to be the protagonist of this scandal.

"Director Lu, is it true? This script was written for Wang Zuxian from the beginning? The eyes of the reporters were staring at Lu Yan like hungry wolves at this time. Those long guns and short cannons captured Lu Yan's expression changes every minute and every second.

Although Lu Yan's mood was shaken, he smiled lightly: "So to speak!" At that time, I bought a ticket to watch "Goodbye Seven Loves" and found that the heroine was very good. Of course, I have always hoped to be able to shoot a script like this. Just when such an opportunity arose, I wrote this script! ”

Such a casual expression, a very casual tone...... Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Lu Yan put his words here.

Although this answer was not what the reporters wanted, at least Lu Yan admitted Wang Zuxian's words. So, whether the following explanation belongs to them or not. Taking quotes out of context has always been the most common method used by these journalists.

Seeing that the press conference of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was inclined to Lu Yan's scandal again, Liu Weiqiang and Cheng Xiaodong decisively suggested that Lu Yan end the press conference.

And when they got the news they wanted, these reporters didn't have much to lose. At least Lu Yan's highlights have been highlighted again. Whether it is scolding Long Xiaomi for having no brains, or tailoring a script for Wang Zuxian, it is enough for them to go back to the business. If you don't get it, you can get some bonuses.

After the press conference officially ended, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When Liu Weiqiang returned to the company, the first thing he did was to praise Lu Yan and said: "Yan Zai, you are really the most intimate 'cooperation' with reporters!" actually played such a play again, and it is absolutely impossible that this boot-up ceremony will not be the first industry of major media newspapers! ”

"Whatever they want, let's get ready for the evening shoot!" Lu Yan smiled bitterly and didn't bother to explain more, anyway, he had already been crowned with the title of 'playboy'. It doesn't matter if there is more or less such news.

There is not much time left in "A Chinese Ghost Story", and if you want to go to the Spring Festival, you must shoot it. And most of the scenes in this "A Chinese Ghost Story" are night scenes. Therefore, Lu Yan had already set up a temporary residence on Lantau Island, and this time needed to be spent on Lantau Island.

Hong Kong is just a small island, and there isn't much land for these crews to shoot big scenes. Lantau Island has become a treasure trove for many movies and TV dramas.

The staff of "A Chinese Ghost Story" have long set up scenes on Lantau Island under the leadership of Yi Shouyi.

As soon as the press conference here ended, Lu Yan and the others rushed over after a short break.

"Director, I'm sorry......" Wang Zuxian in the car had already changed her costume, and she apologized a little nervously.

Unexpectedly, before Lu Yan could answer, Leslie Cheung comforted the little sister who was playing against him and said, "It's okay!" There are a lot of directors and adults, not to mention how many times he has been on such news. ”

As soon as Leslie Cheung's words came out, the whole atmosphere suddenly improved. Lu Yan's car was suddenly full of laughter.

"Rong Shao, you entered the play too quickly." Lu Yan was keen to see the relaxation of the actors, so he teased: "When I get to the scene, I want to give you small shoes to wear." Dare to make fun of the director, you are very bold! ”

"Don't listen to nonsense, your play is already very bitter, haha!" Cheng Xiaodong said something 'adding fuel to the fire', which immediately made Leslie Cheung's face full of bitterness.

Wang Zuxian blinked his big eyes and looked at everyone's harmonious atmosphere, and his mood finally changed a lot. Although she has never filmed a costume film, at least the atmosphere of the entire crew makes her unusually relaxed. Maybe that's why everyone can make a good movie!
