Chapter 171: Continuing the Legend?

"Director Lu, your appearance is really special, which scared me just now. [Full text reading] (hand-typed novel)" The reporter who was standing in front of Lu Yan finally came back to his senses and smiled: "But I didn't expect Director Lu to be versatile, and he would even be able to perform lion dances"

"Don't call me Director Lu on this occasion, after all, the director of "God of Gamblers" is Mr. Wang Jing. If he hears it, he will not be happy. When the time comes, if you want to interview something during the filming, it will be difficult" Lu Yan whispered, and said with a clear look: "Actually, lion dance was my first profession, you don't know, when I was in Taiwan, I also participated in the Cantonese Lion Club, and I also won some first prizes and so on." But then I started to pursue the path of film, so I fell behind......"

Lu Yan's reasonable and well-founded appearance made those reporters look at each other one after another. Could it be that this director has really played lion dance before? Otherwise, how could you dance so well......

"Haha, just kidding, in fact, the matter of lion dance, I learned it from these two ends." What Lu Yan said is indeed the truth. I don't know if it's a whim, so in the first two days, I inexplicably pulled Cheng Xiaodong to introduce a few seniors of the lion dance.

Perhaps because he was too impressed by the "Huang Feihong" series before, Lu Yan always loved these southern lions. Coupled with the foundation of kung fu itself, there are so many movements that can be learned with an eye.

However, the reason why I have this time to take the time to play the lion dance is because the actors of "Rouge Buckle" are finally finalized. As for the strict requirements for details such as clothing, most of the tasks are on Li Bihua and Tim Yip.

It's not that Lu Yan is deliberately lazy, it's just that he has no concept or research on these things.

Wang Zuxian was stunned when he saw that these reporters were deceived by Lu Yan, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle. eyes, but from time to time look at Lu Yan. This kid is really too weird.

"Ahem, Director Lu, you're still so cute"

"What's Apple's Daily?" Lu Yan looked at his logo and said in surprise: "May I ask this reporter, why didn't Comrade Long Xiaomi come to interview this time?" He wouldn't be avoiding me on purpose, would he? ”

When the other reporters heard this, they immediately chuckled from the embarrassment just now. Many of the staff members were shooting with their cameras in a hurry.

Obviously, Lu Yan's question is quite interesting.

He and Long Xiaomi, who have never become famous, are rivals. Now one has become a well-known director, and the other has become the chief reporter of Apple Daily.

The Apple Daily reporter was not embarrassed when he heard this. On the contrary, because Lu Yan asked this question, he was quite happy and said: "Long Mi is sick, so I can't come to the scene today." Thank you Director Lu for your concern."

"Oh...... I'm sick, so please say hello on my behalf. I'll visit him when I have time. Lu Yan smiled slightly, as if he was a little unaccustomed to the presence of Long Xiaomi.

However, other reporters did not give Lu Yan a chance to deliberately take the opportunity to greet and avoided today's opening ceremony, and they began to talk about interviews one after another.

"Director Lu, will you have no time to withdraw from filming "Rouge Buckle" this time as a producer?"

"May I ask if Director Wang Jing said in an interview before that you won't interfere too much with his shooting, is it true?"

"I heard that in this summer war, "God of Gamblers" is the top priority. Is Director Lu relieved to put such a burden on Director Wang Jing? ”

Although many of the questions are very acute, it is the opening ceremony of "God of Gamblers". Now Lu Yan has adjusted his mentality very well. There are more and more media reporters in the face, and the more and more contacts you have, the more calm and calm you will be.

"Wang Jing is a very good director, there is no doubt about this. In other words, you don't ask such questions. The script of "God of Gamblers", I said, was tailor-made for director Wang Jing. Then people won't ask me if I believe that Director Wang Jing can take on such a heavy responsibility...... He's a very good director, and I don't have any doubts about his directing ability. I have watched several of the films he directed at Shaw Brothers

As for whether to interfere or not, the answer to this question is obvious. Every director needs a lot of room to play, and as a producer, I'm more willing to give advice. Since I chose him as the director, then I won't interfere too much, and "Rouge Buckle" is preparing for filming, my focus is indeed on "Rouge Buckle"" Lu Yan replied with a smile, in fact, he had been prepared for such a question for a long time. So there was no hesitation in answering

"May I ask Director Lu, have all the candidates for "Rouge Buckle" been selected?"

"Yes, the cast is almost all selected"

Since Lu Yan was willing to answer today, the reporters immediately asked questions.

"So, was it decided to choose Leslie Cheung as the leading actor from the beginning?"

This question made Lu Yan nod with a smile and said: "In fact, I was indeed optimistic about my brother playing this role from the beginning, but since it is a remake of Miss Li Bihua's novel." Then in the selection of actors, we should also refer to her opinions. We auditioned for a combination of several actors, and finally decided to let my brother play the role of Twelve Young. I believe my brother can play this role well."

"Anita Mui playing the heroine, is it a commercial consideration or a ......"

"Maybe it's because Sister Mei's achievements in the music world are so good, so everyone feels like this, in fact, no matter what movie I make, I definitely don't focus on commercial value in the selection of actors." Lu Yan shrugged his shoulders and flatly denied this question.

His answer did make everyone nod. If Lu Yan's selection of actors is based on commercial value, then there will be no Chow Yun-fat and Dillon in "The True Color of Heroes". There will be no Wang Zuxian of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and Andy Lau, Zhang Min and others of "God of Gamblers".

"So, for the filming of "Rouge Buckle", Director Lu ......"

Without waiting for the reporter to finish asking, Lu Yan immediately stopped: "After all, it is the launch ceremony of "God of Gamblers", let's not talk too much about "Rouge Buckle". ”

Speaking of this, Lu Yan smiled again: "If everyone has a lot of curiosity about "Rouge Buckle", then everyone is welcome to come at the opening ceremony of "Rouge Buckle". ”

Lu Yan categorically blocked the reporters' interview opportunities, and he obviously didn't want to talk more about "Rouge Buckle" now.

Since this is a ghost director with such a personality, everyone naturally knows that no matter how much they ask, they won't be able to dig up any news.

"May I ask Producer Lu, why did you suddenly think of choosing Andy Lau? After all, he is now being banned by TVB? ”

"Andy is a very good actor, as for his dispute with TVB. I don't think I have the right to speak" If this question is answered, Lu Yan will really fall into the trap. So in the end, he chose to ignore the problem

For these entertainment reporters, Lu Yan's attitude is obviously much better this time. After accepting many interviews, he escaped under Wang Jing's shouting.

But the flashes of the reporters' cameras are still flickering.

Not only because Lu Yan is now too famous, but also because he is wearing a lion dance costume at the moment.

"Yan Zai, the moment you appeared just now really scared those reporters enough, it's really you" Cheng Xiaodong smiled bitterly and patted Lu Yan's shoulder, he never thought that Lu Yan would actually learn and sell to sneak into the lion dance team

It was Wang Zuxian on the side, who glanced at Lu Yan and said, "It's a bad boy, and he teased those reporters just now."

"Don't say that, I'm not joking with them to liven up the atmosphere."

"By the way, when will the filming of "Rouge Buckle" start?" Wang Jing is obviously more concerned about this issue, although "God of Gamblers" is the highlight of the summer file. But he is also very much looking forward to "Rouge Buckle". Because he hopes that the two movies can be released in a similar situation, so as to facilitate the momentum

And Lu Yan smiled and said: "The filming will probably start in the next few days, but you don't have to expect "Rouge Buckle" to escort "God of Gamblers", after all, it is a literary film, and the speed may be slower, of course, if my brother and Sister Mei perform well, they may be faster." ”

"Haha, you can see through my mind."

"What do you think" Lu Yan looked at Wang Jing speechlessly, and said with a smile: "You don't have to have any pressure because of the words of those reporters." I believe that your "God of Gamblers" will definitely have no problem when the time comes, let's wait and see."

I have to say that the sharp questions of media reporters really made Wang Jing a little unbearable

"Will you be able to continue Lu Yan's box office record?"

"Will you be a little less confident about directing "God of Gamblers" in person?"

This is the first time that Wang Jing feels a lot of pressure. After all, a miracle like Lu Yan is not something that anyone can continue.
