Chapter 512: The goddess comes to make a cameo

Suddenly, the publicity meeting before the start of the filming of the "Detective" movie became a climax, and when the publicity meeting had not started, the venue became uncontrollable for a while!

However, with the veteran Jackie Chan quickly calming down the order of the scene, the publicity meeting gradually entered the theme!

At this time, sitting in front of all the reporters are the country's famous superstars, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Wu Jing, these powerful actors are breathtaking as soon as they appear!

Even with such a powerful source in the press, I never imagined that Director Smith Chow would bring such a huge cast to Hong Kong for filming this time!

Jackie Chan, a martial arts superstar known in the Chinese entertainment industry, has long been popular in the Chinese film and television industry, although he has not been mixed into the ranks of first-line superstars in Hollywood, but with years of hard work in the Chinese market, no one has been able to replace Jackie Chan's position!

Many of his martial arts works have long been irreplaceable classics for the audience, and because of this, there has also been a family class, and it has been developed to this day, Jackie Chan has gradually begun to focus on the Hollywood market in North America!

Next to Jackie Chan is China's young martial arts superstar Wu Jing, a young man who has been tepid in the Chinese film and television industry, and suddenly became a well-known first-line actor in China by starring in Zhou Shaoming's "Fuse", and also opened the North American film market, becoming China's youngest movie star to enter Hollywood!

For Wu Jing, a Chinese actor, many people think that he has some luck element, if he hadn't met Zhou Shaoming, then he wanted to enter Hollywood for development, it was a pipe dream!

However, although there is some element of luck, Wu Jing, who was born in a martial arts family, wants to have an advantage over other actors in terms of acting skills and talent in martial arts!

Many people in China believe that with Jackie Chan aging. And the successor of Chinese martial arts dramas, Wu Jing is the first!

As a director, Zhou Shaoming sits in the middle, but even if Zhou Shaoming is a leader in the ranks of global directors, when he comes to the land of Hong Kong, he finally sees the embarrassment of a strong dragon not suppressing the head snake!

In the face of reporters, more focus is on Jackie Chan and Andy Lau around him!

Andy Lau, one of the four kings of Hong Kong, when he appeared at the press conference, it was basically one of the reasons why the audience was out of control!

No one would have thought of it. Liu Tianwang, who has always been known as an evergreen tree in Hong Kong, will also play the role of this "Detective"! There is no clue at all, and the reporters lamented that Director Smith Zhou's secrecy work has been done so well!

When Andy Lau sat in front with a smile, he always carried a camera and a video camera with a kind face, and Liu Tianwang, who has always paid attention to his image, faced the reporter's questions and told him very politely!

After the press conference began, the reporters were like headless flies for a while, and the top actors were sitting in front of each other. I really don't know which superstar's question to ask! Think about the reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as many foreign media, at this press conference, the huge room was already crowded with people!

The problem should be highlighted. Still have to break the news? The questions prepared in advance are obviously useless, compared to the characters who appeared at this time, what should be asked to ask a question worthy of breaking the news?

The reporters were suddenly sweating hotly, and the reporters panicked. Before the press conference, I kept shouting and asking questions, but when the room was quiet, my mind began to get a little confused!

The clever reporters are a little hot-headed. But they have a quick mind!

"Director Smith Zhou, hello, I am a reporter from Hong Kong Phoenix Entertainment News, I want to ask, about our work of "Detective", why did you, as a director of a blockbuster Hollywood film, choose to come to Hong Kong to shoot a movie? Does it mean that the key markets for this work are Hong Kong and the mainland? If it is true, the North American film market far exceeds the Chinese film market, how can you, who have always had box office appeal in Hollywood, choose such a puzzling thing? ”

Zhou Shaoming listened to the reporter who took the lead in asking questions, and was stunned on the spot, obviously saying that it was a problem? But around one question, the reporter in front of him actually expanded out three questions in one breath, and Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead when he thought about it!

I've never been so nervous when facing reporters before, and it seems that Chinese journalists can't be underestimated!

Zhou Shaoming pondered for a while, and said truthfully in front of the microphone: "As a Hollywood director, the reason why I came to Hong Kong to shoot is entirely because of the concept and plot needs of this movie, and it does not mean that this film will give up the North American market!" Instead, I'm going to bring this film to the North American market, I don't know if it will be successful, but I believe that the members of our team are moving towards this goal! ”

Zhou Shaoming cleared his throat and continued: "Of course, everyone has also seen that this movie is a superstar in mainland Hong Kong, regardless of the back or a large number of actors, and China's film market is also a market we want to grasp, and I hope that this movie can get the support of all media friends!" ”

Fan Bingbing, who was doing it next to Andy Lau, couldn't help but tremble when he heard Zhou Shaoming's words, although Fan Bingbing had become famous in China with "Huanzhu Gege" at this time, and achieved results with the movie "Mobile Phone" in 04, but compared with other actors, Fan Bingbing's popularity in the Chinese film market at this time is far low!

After Zhou Shaoming finished speaking, the reporters in the audience were stunned, and one reporter couldn't help but ask: "I heard that when you came to Hong Kong to cooperate with Wei Jiahui before, Mr. Wei Jiahui would not cooperate with you?" Is it because of this that there is an agreement between you? Or is it a tacit agreement between you to come to Hong Kong to shoot? ”

When Zhou Shaoming heard the reporter's question, he couldn't help frowning, and said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "As a gold medal director in Hollywood, even if you need an excellent screenwriter, it is impossible to have any scruples about shooting the movie itself for the sake of such a talent!" As for Mr. Wei Jiahui did resolutely reject me in advance, but after the matchmaking of Jackie Chan, we are still willing to work together to complete this "Detective" work and promote it to the world together! ”

Promoted to the North American market and the world, this is the reason why the Chinese reporters in the audience were stunned, no one would have thought that Zhou Shaoming would come to Hong Kong to shoot for such a reason!

According to rumors, Zhou Shaoming was afraid of Mr. Wei Jiahui's previous refusal. The conditions for filming in Hong Kong in exchange for cooperation with Wei Jiahui! It seems that the rumors are not credible, but after Zhou Shaoming told it in person at this time, the Chinese reporters in the audience were stunned at first, and couldn't help but have a huge impression of this Chinese director in Hollywood!

It is the dream of many people to make a Chinese-style film go abroad, to the world, and enter the Hollywood film market, no matter whether Director Smith Zhou can do it this time or not! At least he's proving his brave deeds with his actions!

"Hello. I'm a reporter from Yahoo News, may I ask Mr. Jackie Chan, as a big-name superstar at the Chinese level, what kind of role will you play in the film in cooperation with director Smith Chow? Under what circumstances did you get the chance to work with one of Hollywood's top directors in front of you? Will this appearance help you better develop in Hollywood? ”

In the face of Yahoo reporter's question, Jackie Chan seemed very calm, and Jackie Chan, who picked up the microphone, said jokingly: "It is indeed a very lucky thing to be able to cooperate with Director Smith Zhou this time." But my luck really wasn't as good as Wu Jing, and this time I just made a cameo appearance in the film! As for whether it can help me boost my popularity in Hollywood, I don't know. ”

After Jackie Chan finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment. said: "As for how I cooperated with Director Smith Zhou, I'm afraid I have to thank Andy Lau for that song?" ”

As soon as the words changed, Jackie Chan's face looked a little mysterious, and Andy Lau listened. I can't help but take a deep breath!

"What the hell is going on?"

Before Jackie Chan could finish asking Yahoo's reporter, he said: "I didn't say it in advance, and the reporter friends present can only ask one question." You can't break the rules! ”

The Yahoo reporter calmly replied in the face of Jackie Chan's question: "However, you haven't answered my question, how did you get in touch with director Smith Zhou and star in his works?" ”

Jackie Chan saw Yahoo's reporter retort, and said with some smile: "I think it should be that time we participated in the carnival night banquet held by Smith Week, and sang the Chinese song on stage, which made Director Smith Zhou feel some feelings in his heart, and then he happily promised me that I could star in his movie, you know that this opportunity is really not easy, I don't know how many times I have told Director Zhou, this time I can finally enter Director Zhou's movie." ”

Zhou Shaoming was so buttoned by Jackie Chan that he couldn't laugh or cry!

"I didn't expect that a superstar like Jackie Chan in this movie only played a cameo, so I don't know what kind of role Liu Tianwang will play in this movie? How did you think of working with director Smith Chow? What do you think of this film? I'm a reporter for Asia Daily."

Facing reporters scrambling to ask, Andy Lau hesitated for a moment and said: "Compared to Jackie Chan, I should say that I am lucky, at least it is not a cameo, I can be a supporting role, even if it is a supporting role, I cherish this opportunity, I feel very honored to be able to star in Director Smith Zhou's work, I hope this work can be sold worldwide!" ”

Andy Lau replied very pragmatically, as if he had always had a style in the film and television industry!

Indeed, for the work of Detective, the role that Andy Lee was arranged by Zhou Shaoming is only a supporting role for police officer Wang Guozhu, of course, the filming component is slightly better than Jackie Chan's thoughts!

However, for the protagonists of this film, Avril, Bell, and Wu Jing, the most embarrassing thing is Bell, who has always been tepid in Hollywood, and after coming to China, he obviously doesn't have much popularity!

On the contrary, Wu Jing's advantage is relatively large, it must be at his own doorstep, and its exposure rate is relatively high, although Wu Jing basically does not have any scandals on weekdays, but every movie is still a TV series, as long as it is starred by Wu Jing, it has high ratings and box office results, relatively speaking, Wu Jing is a superstar at this press conference!

However, as a world-renowned musician, how could Avril, who is popular among many otaku killers, lose to Wu Jing, whether it is in terms of global influence or popularity, Avril Lavigne, who is far more popular than Wu Jing, has amazing clothes that make the audience shine!

"Wu Jing, when you played the villain role of "Fuse" became popular around the world, and successfully entered the North American market, why are you still the No. 2 actor in this film? Didn't Director Smith Zhou consider letting him play a male lead? How do you feel about continuing to play supporting roles? ”

A series of questions made Wu Jing, who rarely likes to speak on weekdays, break out in a cold sweat, and after hesitating for a moment, Wu Jing said with a smile: "I already feel very lucky to be able to appear in this work." Whether I can play the leading actor or not, only what the director says, I believe that as long as I work hard, I will have the opportunity to play the male lead in the future! I believe that I still have a lot to learn and improve, and I believe that everyone should be very lucky to be able to star in the work of director Smith Chow, and I am of course very happy to be here! ”

Wu Jing's answer made the reporters nod! Indeed, in Hollywood. There is no shortage of big-name superstars rushing to cooperate with Director Smith Chow, and Chinese actors also abound, not to mention China, even if it is Japan and South Korea in Asia, there is no one who does not want to cooperate with Director Smith Chow! Think about it, in the world, there is still that superstar who doesn't want to star in director Smith Chow's work?

Avril is brilliant in music. But in the face of film and television works, Avril's performance still lacks some soul, for this, a reporter from the French daily newspaper asked: "May I ask Miss Avril." What do you think of the heroine who played the detective this time? After all, you don't have much talent in acting, do you have the confidence to play the heroine in the film well? ”

Avril listened to the reporter's question and hesitated. said truthfully: "Nervous, from the beginning I knew that I could play the heroine of director Smith Chow's work, I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep. However, I have always been a good friend of Smith Chow, I believe in his strength, I believe that even if I lack experience in acting, if director Smith Chow is on my side, I am confident that I can play this role well, and I am even more confident that this movie will be welcomed by everyone! ”

Zhou Shaoming listened to Avril's words, and couldn't help but secretly scolded in his heart, this ghost elf is really capable of blowing, obviously she is making trouble to ask for the heroine this time, as for whether she is nervous or not, of course Zhou Shaoming doesn't know, but when Zhou Shaoming agreed to Avril's request, Avril temporarily stopped all matters related to music, but after getting up in the morning, Zhou Shaoming heard Avril's voice practicing songs!

Although in this movie, every actor present has strong strength, Fan Bingbing, who is still in the rising period of his career, said frankly: "It is too late for me to debut, and I hope that in front of this precious opportunity, I can learn hard from my predecessors and improve my acting skills!" ”

Indeed, after Fan Bingbing made a cameo appearance as a detective this time, he learned a lot of knowledge from it, and he has always begun to slowly realize his dream of becoming a superstar!

"Director Smith Zhou, can a movie with the theme of China's back really be released in North American theaters? Such a movie got to the North American market, I don't know if you have considered the audience's recognition? Now the outside media is not very optimistic about this movie, as if this movie has not started filming yet, and it can be regarded as strangling itself in the cradle, what do you think? The reporter of the New York Daily asked cleanly

When Zhou Shaoming heard such a question, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said lightly: "Hollywood is a world film factory, and it will not reject any valuable movie!" Although my film uses oriental colors and is shot with the theme of Hong Kong's back, its shooting techniques and presented scenes are still carried out according to Hollywood specifications, I believe that this film is not accepted by the audience because of the oriental color, but will bring new visual embodiment to the global audience! ”

Zhou Shaoming's vision is not only in the North American film market, as Zhou Shaoming's movies are shot more and more, the box office results continue to hit this new high, whether it is popularity or influence, it is far beyond before, Zhou Shaoming's eyes began to look at the world at this time!

With the progress of film shooting, Zhou Shaoming's choice of film angles began to diversify, not only in the box office performance to maintain the original level, but also to enhance the effect of word of mouth!

As Zhou Shaoming's movies began to be accepted by more and more people of the people, and the influence slowly extended from Hollywood, even some domestic superstars in Japan and South Korea have extended their goodwill, hoping that Zhou Shaoming can give some suggestions on choosing movie themes, and hope to appear in Zhou Shaoming's movies, even if it is a cameo!

And this time Zhou Shaoming temporarily chose Hong Kong, but it doesn't mean that Zhou Shaoming will only consider China!

Although Zhou Shaoming came to Hong Kong to shoot, the North American media industry collectively felt puzzled, thinking that as a gold medal director in Hollywood, it is a very irrational approach to develop in a Chinese film market that is not as good as the North American market!

But for Zhou Shaoming, this is just the beginning! Just like filming "Dolphin Bay", Zhou Shaoming will also choose other regions and keep trying!

With the news of the release of the movie "Twilight Allure", Zhou Shaoming came to Hong Kong to shoot this matter, and after the circle, there was not much turmoil, a movie full of Western colors of vampires has attracted a lot of attention!

Dixon of this movie, after filming Twilight Allure, Zhou Shaoming's previous promise has also been fulfilled, and after Zhou Shaoming has asked him to write the script for "The Vampire Diaries Season 1", Dixon can take a break and start filming his best TV series! (To be continued......)
