After the main actors were determined, the selection of other supporting roles and filming locations was also put on the table, and all these trivial matters were handed over to Fu Baorong. Taking advantage of this time, Li Yihua also worked non-stop to promote the new film.

The entertainment industry is afraid that there will be no news, so even if it is made out of nothing, it is necessary to create news, and topics such as low-budget comedies defeating special effects masterpieces are very eye-catching.

The low-key Li Yihua was exposed in front of the media in this way, and Hong Kong television, newspapers and magazines constantly asked him to do an exclusive interview, but Li Yihua was also very cooperative, as long as he had time, he would have to go to the right interview, not to show off what kind of achievements his first film had achieved, but to cooperate with the pre-shooting publicity work of the new film of the "Longsheng Pictures" film company - "Chainsaw".

"Director Li, then the movie "Chainsaw" sounds like a horror movie, why not follow the black humor style of "Nightclub"? And change your own directing style? ”

Zhao Bing, who was an entertainment news reporter for "Ming Pao" at the time, was sitting in the chairman's office of the "Longsheng Pictures" film company at the moment, conducting a personal interview with Li Yihua, her purpose was originally to dig out some entertainment materials during the filming of "Nightclub", but Li Yihua answered every time he did not leave the upcoming movie "Chainsaw Horror" of the "Longsheng Pictures" film company, and in the end, Zhao Bingsuo changed the topic of the interview and interviewed Li Yihua for the movie "Chainsaw".

"Filming 'Nightclub' has been a success, proving that I can make comedy films. Now I just want to challenge myself. I think as a director, you should try to shoot different films, so that you can not only improve your ability to shoot cameras, but also taste different lives. Li Yihua said with a smile.

"Is this a pure horror movie?" Zhao Bing recorded it in his notebook and asked again.

"In addition to the horror content in the movie, there will also be suspense elements throughout the movie, mainly using human curiosity to promote the development of the plot step by step, and use a special method to reflect it," Tang Qian thought for a while and said, "Of course, I personally think that this can also be said to be a pure horror film, and there are many thrilling scenes in it." ”

"But the market for horror films is not very good now, there were no horror films in the top ten box office of Hong Kong movies last year, and the results of horror films in those movies released this year are not ideal, isn't Director Li worried that the market acceptance is not enough, which will affect the box office results of the movie?" Zhao Bing asked his own questions very specifically about the surname.

Li Yihua replied with a smile: "First of all, I want to say that not every movie can create a miracle like "Nightclub", as for the box office problem you mentioned, I haven't been worried, because I said that this must be a movie that is different from the original Hong Kong horror film in everyone's impression, as long as there is something new, as long as there is something good, I believe the audience can accept it." ”

"In this way, Director Li's reputation for the movie "Chainsaw" is even more than the box office?" Zhao Bing dug a trap and asked Li Yihua to jump inside.

"These professional questions will be left to the media and the audience to evaluate after the movie is released," Li Yihua said seriously, "Since it is a personal interview, then I will talk about my original intention of wanting to shoot this movie, because "Nightclub" has made many of you media have set me as a comedy director, and I want to tell you through the movie "Chainsaw" that this is another attempt of mine, in addition to comedy, I can also make other types of movies." ”

Zhao Bing nodded, she agreed with what Li Yihua said, the popularity of "Nightclub" did make many media place high hopes on him as the king of comedy, and even some media commented on Li Yihua as a comedy director, but through her chat with Li Yihua, she felt that Li Yihua was a person with his own ideas, and he should not be the kind of director who was obsessed with a certain type of movie, I hope he can create brilliance in other types of films!

"For this movie, do you still continue to use the route of using newcomers?" Zhao Bing became more and more interested in this movie, and his questions became more and more active.

"Actually, a lot of new people are very talented, what they lack is an opportunity, and I think we should give them more opportunities. I plan to continue to use newcomers in this play, but it is inevitable that old actors will join, and Liang Jiahui will join the crew. Li Yihua promoted "Chainsaw" and added another fierce material.

"What? Liang Jiahui also joined the crew, don't you know that he was banned by Taiwan, don't you worry about affecting Taiwan's box office. Zhao Bing showed a surprised expression, he didn't expect Li Yihua to dare to use Liang Jiahui.

"I think movies should have nothing to do with politics, and filmmakers should make movies with a conscience, not to cater to politics." Li Yihua expressed his opinion, he believes that movies are not political

"The new work of "Nightclub" director Li Yihua, the first horror film "Chainsaw" of the "Longsheng Pictures" film company, will be filmed in the near future!"

"Ming Pao" entertainment news put Li Yihua's personal interview in the most conspicuous position, after the news came out, many people in the industry are paying attention, this young man used a low-budget movie to make Hong Kong people laugh, and now he is going to make a movie that is currently very unpopular, what is this doing? Do you want to destroy your future when you are carried away by victory?

Li Yihua has openly ignored the Taiwan authorities and taken the initiative to abandon the Taiwan market, so he has decided to break the bloodstream, and many media think so.

People who don't know Li Yihua have all kinds of doubts about his next plan, but those who know Li Yihua have high hopes for his "Chainsaw".

Many film critics are full of claims that Li Yihua will make horror films. The supporters said: Li Yihua made different films, which played a positive role in the development of Hong Kong films. He made filmmakers understand that as long as they actively do something, they can succeed, and it is not the quantity of bad movies that prevails over quality. Those who deny it say: A director shoots an unfamiliar movie, and there is a good chance that he will not hit the street, which not only wastes resources, but also wastes a lot of time, and this kind of thing is not compatible.

No matter what Li Yihua talks about the outside world, he is preparing for the filming of "Chainsaw", as if the reaction of the outside world has nothing to do with him.

Li Yihua's new film, due to the intervention of the media, began to spread loudly, and the streets and alleys were talking about this "Chainsaw", seeing this scene, Li Yihua showed a satisfied smile, this is the result he wants, the film has not been filmed yet, it has become popular first!
