Chapter 289: A Film Review of Talented Women

However, it was this group of people on stage who filmed "Mong Kok Carmen" together. [No pop-up novel network] At this moment, they on the stage can be described as harmonious. Although everyone 'picks' each other, joking. But when I first filmed, I came over one by one.

Naturally, the master of ceremonies can't always occupy the work of asking questions, and all the reporters below are waiting for it.

These reporters began to ask questions, but they would not have consciously started to ask about many things during the filming of "Carmen in Mong Kok" like the emcee.

Their questions are often very acute. At the very least, it needs to be a newsy topic.

So the reporter who took the lead in getting up fired at Wong Kar-wai without hesitation: "Director Wong Kar-wai, do you mean that you didn't have a complete script to tell the story at all, and you persuaded Yan Zai?" Also, wouldn't your filming method torture the actors too much? After all, you don't have a requirement at all, how will they know how to act? ”

Such an unceremonious question made Wong Kar-wai, who was already very gloomy, look even more weird. He pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, pouted, and said: "Each director has his own shooting method, and the reason why I don't ask the actors is that I want them to play freely." I want to see how they can represent a character in their own ideas. I, on the other hand, will appropriately remind each actor that has their own style. I don't want to take out a character card and imprison them. At this point, Yan Tsai is very supportive. In this regard, I am very happy that now "Mong Kok Carmen" has also come out, and everyone has seen it. It's not up to me to decide whether it's good or not. However, I believe that Joey and Andy should be satisfied with their performance."

This reporter's question is indeed a little annoying. If you change to Lu Yan, it is estimated that you will hit reporters from time to time. Wang Zuxian, Andy Lau, and Jacky Cheung all nodded their heads in support when they heard Wong Kar-wai's words.

Since this is the case, then this journalist has nothing to say.

"In "Carmen in Mong Kok", the interlude seems to be a Chinese song. It should be sung by Mr. Jacky Cheung, why did you choose this song? And it's still Chinese song...... Is this song new? What is it called...... Is there any special meaning to singing in Chinese? "This reporter's topic is obviously sensitive.

But it's not just him who is curious, the rest of the audience is also very curious.

Why does "Mong Kok Carmen" appear in Chinese songs?

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

Jacky Cheung glanced at Lu Yan, who was very casual in the audience, and thought about it: "This song is called "Forget You and Forget Me", and it is composed by Yan Zai. As for why he sang in Chinese, according to Yan Zai's words: It is to choose new things to try He said that recently he has been obsessed with Teresa Teng's songs"

"Hmm......"

"Obsessed with Teresa Teng's songs?"

"I see, no wonder"

"I knew that it must be Lu Yan who is funny again......"

………………………………………………………………

Hearing Jacky Cheung's answer, everyone laughed. is obsessed with Teresa Teng's songs, of course everyone doesn't know whether it's true or not. But according to this statement, it is not surprising that Lu Yan uses Chinese to create. And this genius director originally likes to play alternative, so he hopes to make a gimmick.

As for the statement that Hong Kong has decided to return to the mainland, there is nothing sensitive to say.

"Why did Yan Zai choose you to sing this song?" When the reporter's question came out, Andy Lau on the side looked at Jacky Cheung in a weird way.

"Because I'm a singer" Jacky Cheung's question was a matter of course: "Since it's an episode in the movie I starred in, it's normal for Yan Zai to sing to me, and he said he wanted to write me a song at the beginning."

According to everyone's thoughts, Lu Yan's song seems to be sung to Leslie Cheung. And Jacky Cheung's answer obviously ignored the fact that Lu Yan asked him to learn Chinese with Andy Lau in the first place. For this reason, Andy Lau's somewhat tense face improved.

Maybe I should try to make a record, too?

Andy Lau thought secretly in his heart. At the beginning, he also released a small record, but unfortunately it didn't sell well. Later, because of the 'refrigeration' of TVB, the songs originally prepared by Huaxing were also given to Leslie Cheung. For this reason, he was dissatisfied at the beginning. Later, slowly, I was relieved.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt that he should also try to develop in the music world. After all, like Leslie Cheung and Jacky Cheung, they are all from the film and music worlds. Even Alan Tam, who is not too successful in the film industry, has not always insisted

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

In fact, the reporters present all wanted to interview Lu Yan. It's a pity that our director Lu Da just sat on the stage casually and watched the reporters and everyone on the stage arguing with each other. Even, he took advantage of these reporters to interview Wong Kar-wai and their free time to sign autographs for many fans who handed over pen and paper on the side.

"Director Lu, sign one for me too"

"And me"

………………………………

Not only Wong Kar-wai on the stage saw this scene, but the reporters all looked at the busy Lu Yan with all their faces.

The most popular is still our director Lu Da.

Unfortunately, he just doesn't give any more interviews

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

The premiere of "Carmen in Mong Kok" was a huge success.

But this is not to say that the premiere box office of "Mong Kok Carmen" was an absolute success. In fact, now the cinemas under Dongcheng Imaging started to play "Mong Kok Carmen" that night. However, the ticket sales situation is not ideal. Even many movie theaters have an attendance rate of only 40 percent.

However, although the box office at the beginning was not impressive, judging from the audience's reaction to the audience. "Mong Kok Carmen" is already a success.

After all, this work is directed by a rookie director. If it is produced by other film companies, it is estimated that it will not be able to achieve such a result.

As long as a movie has a good reputation and the company's publicity. In the later box office rise, there is still a lot of hope. Moreover, Wong Kar-wai's movie is not unusual. has such a handsome actor as Andy Lau, and Wang Zuxian as a beautiful woman with box office appeal. Riding the gangster film trend pioneered by "The True Color of Heroes", the box office is still worth looking forward to.

But what really surprised the public was not the film critics who took the lead in acclaiming. It's Yishu who actually commented on this "Mong Kok Carmen".

In this way, the taste is a little different.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

When Yishu was fifteen years old, he was caught up by newspaper editors to ask for manuscripts at school, and became a "young lady" that editors did not dare to offend. When Yishu quickly became famous as soon as he emerged, the two siblings became two wonders in the Hong Kong literary scene.

Some people call it a miracle, saying that Yishu, Ni Kuang, and Jin Yong are "the three miracles of Hong Kong's literary circle". Jin Yong wrote popular martial arts novels, Ni Kuang wrote popular science fiction novels, and Yi Shu created popular romance novels.

Therefore, many reporters even speculated about the reason why Yishu came out to cheer for "Mong Kok Carmen". Maybe it's because of her brother Ni Kuang, who is now one of the special screenwriters of Dongcheng Images.

But what they say about it, at least Yishu's comments did attract a lot of readers to the cinema to watch "Mong Kok Carmen".

"Mong Kok Carmen" doesn't care about the play, just listening to the title of the play, I have already been moved.

Mong Kok is an extremely chaotic and busy area of the Kowloon Peninsula. It is not a noble area in Hong Kong, and in many respects, it has been classified as a black spot by the authorities, which is not suitable for outsiders.

Carmen, as everyone knows, is the famous wild rose, beautiful and uninhibited, full of fireworks in the world, willing to sink into the red dust, legendary and sad.

Mong Kok Carmen, what kind of character is it? The narrow and pickled small place also has a charming beauty, her vivid young love and hate, which must be shocking.

Such a story is wonderful, you can imagine.

The heroine's confused and youthful face is like a lotus flower, and her feet are stepping on the mud spots, which is a strong contrast and vivid and realistic.

It turns out that there is indeed such a thing as a genius, and wanting to get a name like Carmen in Mong Kok is simple, clear and modern, without pretentiousness, and everyone understands it, because the audience wants to know her fate too much, and it causes infinite reverie.

It's certainly not a comedy, Mong Kok is not a place to relax and engage in romance, all kinds of business activities go on until late at night, Carmen is not a woman who meets customers in the morning, under the neon lights, always walking alone. ………………………………

Yishu did not comment on any actor, did not comment on the acting skills, and even simply commented on the title of "Mong Kok Carmen". But it was a simple film review, but it resonated with many people. Yishu's writing is indeed convincing. And Yishu is not like Li Bihua, she basically doesn't comment on a movie in particular. But as soon as this "Mong Kok Carmen" was released, she wrote such an article in the column in such a high-profile manner

Anyway, she did watch the movie. If this movie was not good, she would definitely not make such a move

For this reason, many reporters began to go to Dongcheng Imaging again.

They are eager to know whether this title was given by Wong Kar-wai himself. Or, is it from Lu Yan's handwriting? After all, there are so many movies in Hong Kong, and it is rare for a director to have such an 'inexplicable' title
