Chapter 383 Pressure - Smear from the Media!

Wu Jing couldn't help but want to step forward and teach one of the reporters a lesson in the face of the accident that slandered the crew of "Fuse" on the spot, as well as the fabrication of unfavorable information about Zhou Shaoming.

But at this moment, Zhou Shaoming suddenly grabbed Wu Jing, he didn't say anything, just stood quietly in front of the reporter, but the reporter looked unwilling to give up.

"These reporters are so annoying!" Scarlett Johansson also muttered angrily.

"Hello, Mr. Smith Zhou, I'm a reporter from the Chicago Daily News, how do you explain the sudden poisoning in the crew of "Fuse"?"

Scarlett Johansson pouted, obviously these reporters came prepared, one by one, with bad intentions, the more they listened, the more it seemed like they were deliberately detouring around the bend and saying that this poisoning incident was a hype created by the crew of "Fuse".

However, angry is angry, and under Zhou Shaoming's obstruction, Scarlett Johansson can only stay quietly in place.

Beside him, Zhou Shaoming's face was full of calmness, as if it was none of his business, quietly listening to the reporters' questions without saying a word.

"Director Smith Chow, I'm a reporter for the New York Times, and what did you think when you heard that you were speeding and causing a traffic accident in order to escort two women who were suddenly poisoned to the hospital in the play?"

The two policemen had been watching the reporter around Zhou Shaoming for an interview, and they didn't do anything, but at this moment, they suddenly heard a question from a reporter from the New York Times, and then realized that they were policemen, even if Zhou Shaoming in front of him was a world-famous director, he was indeed speeding while driving. Even do such illegal incidents as running red lights. As a police officer. It shouldn't be that way.

Zhou Shaoming broke the law, and the two looked at each other, obviously, if they didn't take any action. will fall on the handle.

It's so obvious that the imagination of these journalists is so wild. In order to rescue two poisoned women, Director Smith Zhou in front of him was forced to speed and run a red light. Do you still need to ask about such a thing?

Is it intentional to break the law and even involve human life? And just for the hype of the movie "Fuse"? I really can't tell if these reporters' heads are caught by the door, the two policemen really can't look past it, break through the heavy encirclement of reporters, walk in front of Zhou Shaoming, and say to the reporters in front of them who are constantly taking pictures and asking questions: "We are going to take Smith Zhou back to the police station now, please let me." ”

Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the words of the two policemen, facing so many reporters, plus Luo Ken and others were not around. It's really hard to do, and the questions raised by these reporters are very frustrating. Zhou Shaoming has long been accustomed to it, there are some things that don't need to be explained, he just wants the facts to speak. Zhou Shaoming didn't want to explain, he just wanted to go!

The two policemen pressed, to be precise, escorted Zhou Shaoming, Scarlett Johansson, and Wu Jing from the heavy circle of reporters to the entrance of the hospital.

However, many reporters still do not give up, Smith Week news is definitely worth a thousand dollars, and the editor-in-chief of some newspapers has even said: about Smith Week, even if there is no news, it must be produced.

What's more, at this moment, there is finally news? How could you just give up?

"I heard that Supernova's plan to buy theaters from Warner fell through and was preempted by Lionsgate, and Supernova Entertainment wanted to develop its own theaters, is this true?"

Zhou Shaoming was stunned, looked at the reporter in front of him, and stopped, how could a reporter know so many things?

The reporter saw Zhou Shaoming stop, and asked again unhurriedly: "Is it that the supernova is worried that the movie filmed this time will not achieve good results, so Director Smith Zhou staged this life-saving scene to do free publicity for the filming of "Fuse". ”

Zhou Shaoming listened to the reporter in front of him, looking like a villain, he couldn't help frowning, and after hesitating for a moment, he stopped making a noise and walked out of the hospital with the two policemen.

After Scarlett Johansson walked out of the hospital, she looked behind her, saw that there was no reporter following, and asked, "Why don't you explain?" These journalists are spewing blood. Scarlett Johansson really didn't understand Zhou Shaoming's thoughts.

"Yes! Zhou, it's really depressing to be misunderstood like this! Wu Jing also said with a frown.

Zhou Shaoming said lightly: "Speaking with facts, I always feel that something is wrong with this incident. Zhou Shaoming said, looking out in the police car, Zhou Shaoming, who had been comfortable in front of reporters, vaguely felt in his heart that it was a little strange that these reporters came to this hospital soon.

After Zhou Shaoming left, the reporters dispersed one after another, but a reporter from one media stayed behind and walked into the hospital again.

Zhou Shaoming, who finished recording his confession at the police station, left the police station, and at this time, Luo Ken and others were already waiting for Zhou Shaoming at the gate of the police station, because the filming of "Fuse" has not ended today.

Scarlett Johansson went out of the police station to complain: "Those reporters are really hateful, if the rumors continue like this, the crew will definitely be affected." She still remembered the words of the reporters in the hospital just now.

Hearing Scarlett Johansson's words, Zhou Shaoming's eyes lit up, for him, the words of these reporters had no impact at all.

However, Zhou Shaoming now wants to know whether the actors he finally found can really not be affected by these rumors, and he even hopes that the more negative news there is, the better, so that he can see whether these actors are really resistant to pressure.

The actors selected by "Fuse" are all people who have been honed for many years and have rich experience in acting talent, and they are naturally not bad in performance, but the key is that they are also very good in terms of mentality?

An excellent actor must not only have shocking acting skills, but also maintain a good attitude, because the entertainment industry is a big dye shop, and if the mentality is not good, it will bring very serious consequences.

Not to mention the rest, Zhang Guorong from the last time and space is an example! Mindset matters.

If this incident really seriously affects the emotions of these actors, then Zhou Shaoming will be very disappointed.

But if they are not affected too much, then they will all be eligible to stay under the Supernova Entertainment company in the future.

Zhou Shaoming not only wants to export a enough shocking and popular enough action blockbuster - "The Fuse", at this time, he wants to export a test episode in reality and select some actors who can hold up to the supernova.

And this thing. Zhou Shaoming didn't talk about it to anyone. Even next to Scarlett Johansson. Christina, Jessica, he didn't mention his thoughts either, in the eyes of everyone. Zhou Shaoming suddenly turned around and went home, announcing that it was a strange thing that today's shooting had ended here.

Zhou Shaoming, who returned home, no matter what Christina, Jessica and others asked. Didn't say it.

The next morning, when Zhou Shaoming saw Christina running to him in a panic with newspapers and magazines, he was happy, he didn't expect his media friends to be so powerful.

Zhou Shaoming immediately asked his assistant Benjamin to inform the crew members to continue filming the scene that was not filmed yesterday today.

Christina looked at Zhou Shaoming strangely and walked out of the house with some excitement, it was strange in her heart, obviously the major media had slandered Zhou Shaoming for this poisoning incident, and the filming of "Fuse" would also become very troublesome, why was Zhou Shaoming not in a hurry?

In the eyes of everyone, Zhou Shaoming should immediately hold a press conference to clarify the original circumstances of the incident. It's a pity that the two women who were poisoned are still in a coma, without them. Even if there is a press conference, there is no strong persuasiveness.

Zhou Shaoming smiled, when nothing happened, he was ready to continue filming "Fuse".

From Christina's expression, he saw the result he wanted. When he was in the car and went to the shooting destination, Zhou Shaoming took the opportunity to open the newspaper in his hand.

After a while, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but exclaim: "It's even more mysterious than I imagined." ”

Due to the uproar caused by this incident, the major media began to make headlines the next day, reporting the heroic deeds of Zhou Shaoming and Wu Jing who were sent to the hospital as soon as possible in order to rescue the poisoned woman, but during the description, a large number of inaccurate words were obviously guiding readers.

makes readers think that Zhou Shaoming's incident is all self-written and self-directed, and it is for the promotion of "Fuse".

Suddenly, these reports were recognized by most readers, and they pointed the finger at the crew of "Fuse", along with the TV series "The Walking Dead" being filmed by Supernova Entertainment, as well as the progress of "Hulk" filmed in this filming.

"Smith Zhou is undoubtedly the greatest and most talented director in China, however, I didn't expect him to make such a low-level mistake, two women were poisoned? Heroic rescue? Prefer to believe that it is hype. -- USA Today

"Smith Chow's poor performance is disappointing, maybe we expect too much from him, "Fuse" is said to be a Chinese-style action movie, Smith Chow is timid, afraid that this film will not achieve good results, so he took this method to promote in advance, but I have to say, this is a very low-level hype method." -- The New York Times

Zhou Shaoming kept watching all kinds of negative news and watched it with relish, and even the Los Angeles Daily, which has always had a good impression of Zhou Shaoming, began to comment on Zhou Shaoming's incident like this.

"Disappointment, I can only use two words to describe Smith Week at this time." -- Chicago Daily News

"No matter how talented a person is, he won't make a difference if he loses people's hearts, and will anyone go to the theater to see Smith's movie? The answer is already obvious, Smith Zhou himself is already scared! —The Washington Post

Zhou Shaoming looked at the magazines and newspapers, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart, the effect given by these media friends today is far beyond his imagination.

"Huh!" Zhou Shaoming was suddenly a little curious, Hong Kong Phoenix Entertainment News, which has never paid much attention to himself, also published this poisoning incident, but his words seemed very neutral.

Zhou Shaoming saw the doubts of Hong Kong Phoenix Entertainment News.

""Infernal Affairs 2" will be released in October this year, and it is worth looking forward to who will have the last laugh in the two films that are also about police and bandits. And yesterday, "Fuse" had a bad impact in Europe and the United States because of emergencies, which made the contest between the two police films even more exciting! ”

Zhou Shaoming fell into deep thought, "Infernal Affairs 1" has accumulated a lot of popularity since it was released in 2002, and with the filming of "Infernal Affairs 2", there must be many people who have been looking forward to the release of this movie, which will really have an impact on "Fuse".

However, Zhou Shaoming is still full of confidence, even if he will encounter this classic police film "Infernal Affairs 2" in 2003, Zhou Shaoming still believes that the movie "Fuse" will be better than "Infernal Affairs 2".

"Infernal Affairs 2" tells the story of Ni Kun, a gang leader in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, who was suddenly shot and killed in 1991.

The new Han Chen (Zeng Zhiwei) is still loyal to the Ni family. Other than that. Inspectors Wong Chi-shing (Wong Chiu-sang) and Luk Kai-cheong (Hu Jun) of the Serious Crime Unit also closely deployed for prevention.

Ni Kun's second son, Ni Yongxiao (Wu Zhenyu), has a very deep city. No one could have imagined that he could do it on his own. It didn't take a single soldier to contain the four leaders and become the new leader. Wong Chi-shing became wary of him and sent Ni Yongxiao's half-brother, Chan Wing-yan (Yue Wenle), a graduate of the Police Academy, to infiltrate Ni's family for a long-term undercover plan.

On the other hand, Han Chen was consolidating his power. also arranged for his subordinate Liu Jianming (Edison Chen) to be admitted to the police department and reported the interrogation.

Five years later, Chen Yongren gained Ni Yongxiao's trust and held a key position in the family. Liu Jianming also relied on the information provided by Han Chen to rise to the top in the police force.

And Ni Yongxiao's career is smooth sailing. The social status is increasing day by day. Ambitious, he decided to annihilate the five leaders in one fell swoop to put himself in peace. Overnight, the four leaders who had betrayed the family were killed at the same time, and Han Chen was also attacked in Thailand, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Huang lost his friend and decided to unite with Han Chen, who had re-emerged from the rivers and lakes, to fight back against Ni Yongxiao, but he didn't expect Han Chen to experience great changes, and he was no longer the original Han Chen, more resourceful than Ni Yongxiao, and difficult to control. Ni Yongxiao's forces were completely eliminated. Inspector Huang Zhicheng hung Han Chen's portrait on the wall opposite him. A new round of infernal reincarnation will unfold again

The storyline is very tortuous, and the actors' performances are even more powerful. "Infernal Affairs" 1 and 2 can be called the pinnacle of Hong Kong police films. Since "Infernal Affairs 1" swept the Chinese film market in 2002, the classic "Infernal Affairs 2" was launched again in 2003, but in Zhou Shaoming's view, although "Infernal Affairs" is a successful work, it is not as shocking and popular as the "Fuse" movie scene after all.

In Hollywood, since a police movie has been filmed, the scenes and fiery fights must be the most important!

Even if he may lose some of "Infernal Affairs 2" in terms of plot, as long as the fights and special effects are good, it is still a blockbuster, as for word of mouth, when Zhou Shaoming decided to shoot "Fuse", he was already mentally prepared.

Zhou Shaoming is confident that "Fuse" will not only achieve good results in North America, but even successfully enter the Chinese film market with this film.

Unconsciously, Zhou Shaoming's car stopped at the filming site, and today, he plans to shoot the scene that has not been filmed because of yesterday's poisoning incident.

Zhou Shaoming stood in front of the golf scene and couldn't help frowning, really, as imagined, Hugh, Wu Jing, Jack Kun, Idris and other actors were all in a low mood, although they barely had a smile on their faces, but at a glance, they were affected by the negative news.

Of course, this is also a matter of course, Zhou Shaoming himself didn't expect that early this morning, major media made headlines, describing things so bizarrely.

However, in Zhou Shaoming's view, this may be a good thing.

Scarlett Johansson, who has no role today, came to the filming site again, and she really didn't understand why Zhou Shaoming at this time was so persistent in filming scenes that were not filmed yesterday.

"Zhou, didn't you see the news this morning?" Scarlett Johansson couldn't believe Zhou Shaoming's behavior at this time, but if Zhou Shaoming didn't see this morning's news, it was impossible, this matter was so big, he should have known about it a long time ago, right?

Zhou Shaoming smiled at Scarlett Johansson and responded: "I see, but what does it have to do with us, we just need to do what we do." ”

Scarlett Johansson had a surprised expression, looking at Zhou Shaoming's calm expression beside her, she didn't know what to say for a while, she could only watch Zhou Shaoming come to the shooting site.

Zhou Shaoming clapped his hands and said to Wu Jing and the others in the field: "Yesterday, our scene was shelved because of an accident in the middle of the way, and we have to make it up today, time is pressing, I hope everyone will use some thought and strive to get it over again." ”

Pressed for time! Zhou Shaoming exerted some pressure, since the filming of "Fuse", Zhou Shaoming has never said anything like time urgency.

Obviously, Zhou Shaoming is deliberately creating a tense atmosphere and raising the current tense atmosphere again.

Looking at the more dignified expressions of the actors, Zhou Shaoming felt that this unscripted play became more interesting.

Zhou Shaoming continued: "I already said the plot yesterday, just do what I want today." GO, GO, let's go. ”

As soon as Zhou Shaoming finished speaking, Hugh. Jackman and Idris were stunned on the spot, and it was obvious that the two of them didn't seem to wake up and stood in the center of the field for a long time.

Zhou Shaoming shouted: "Hugh, Idris, haven't you woken up yet?" Zhou Shaoming began to direct the lights and other props, and everything was done.

Hugh and Idris were reminded by Zhou Shaoming, and suddenly realized that it was the first time that Zhou Shaoming filmed the scene of "Fuse" with lightning speed, and the two were a little uncomfortable. However, under Zhou Shaoming's shouting, the two began to wake up.

Liu Jialiang and Chen Hu, the two martial arts instructors, saw that Zhou Shaoming was obviously not affected by the negative news this morning, and their hearts were a little more steady, ready to guide the actors' martial arts fighting skills at any time.

As Zhou Shaoming shouted: "action", Thomson stood in place with a stiff expression, this scene filmed in the Golf Ball, Thomson, who was on leave at this time, should be teasing the beauties around him to his heart's content.

"Stop." Zhou Shaoming shouted angrily and shouted at Hugh: "Molestation, do you look like you're looking for pleasure?" ”

Stop. Jackman was embarrassed for a while, since the filming of the movie, he had never encountered such an embarrassing thing, what the hell was going on today. Hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'll adjust my state." (To be continued.) )
