February 18, 1984. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the traditional lunar calendar, there are ten days or so of the annual Spring Festival. Therefore, many film companies have launched their own blockbusters in a timely manner to besiege the Chinese New Year stalls and make enough money for the last pot.

…………………

Golden Harvest is about to stage the Chinese New Year film "Best Lucky Star".

Cast: Alan Tam, Andy Lau, Zheng Zeshi, Chen You, Lou Nanguang, etc......

This film is a comedy film, following the two "Fuxing" movies "Fuxing Gaozhao" and "Xia Fuxing" last year, after the big hits, Golden Harvest immediately invested in the filming of a new sequel, the film was launched when the new episode of "Best Partner" of Xinyicheng Film Company was painted, and it sang against the table again.

Compared with the previous year's work, the lineup of this film has changed a lot, and Alan Tam's joining has added a new comedy color, and the story jokes are still continuous throughout, and the tricks are endless, making the audience tired of it.

Golden Harvest's ambition this time is to win the box office champion of the Chinese New Year.

…………………………

New Arts City is about to premiere the Chinese New Year movie "Best Partner Queen's Secret".

Cast: Tsui Hark Xu Guanjie. Mai Jia. ZHANG Aijia. Luo Lisa et al......

Soon after the establishment of New Arts City Film Company in 1982, it has become the biggest threat to Golden Harvest Film Company, which has just taken over most of the country from Shaw Brothers. Led by Shi Tian, Mai Jia, Huang Baiming, Tsui Hark and others, the "Seven Monsters of New Art City" was unprecedentedly successful when it was released, setting the highest box office results since the opening of Hong Kong, and the sequel "Best Partner" that started filming afterwards was also very good at the word-of-mouth box office.

In order to shake up the "Best Partner" series of New Arts City, Golden Harvest Film Company produced the "Five Lucky Stars" series, so throughout the early 80s, almost all the annual box office championships and runners-up battles for Hong Kong films were between these two films and their sequels.

The reason why both the sequels to "Best Partner" and "Five Lucky Stars" can be successful. In addition to the well-known star effect and funny scenes, there are also the endless stunt elements of "Best Partner" and the wonderful action scenes at the end of each episode of "Five Lucky Stars", plus the repetition of the story routine of two partners and five people working together to deal with different villains.

……………………………

Now the war between Golden Harvest and Xinyicheng is ignited again, but I don't know who is about to die this time as the box office champion. But just when the Lunar New Year war that attracted the attention of the whole Hong Kong was about to break out, Shaw Brothers Film Company, which was no longer in power, announced in a high-profile manner that the company's annual Chinese New Year drama "Crazy Boy" was about to premiere!

At this moment, the entire film market went crazy.

The original battle of the dragon and the tiger has become a three-kingdom battle.

The original "Best Lucky Star" challenged "Best Partner", but halfway through the killing, a "Crazy Boy" came out to seize the beach.

However, Hong Kong people are still very discerning, judging from the cast. Golden Harvest's "Best Lucky Star" has a super big name Alan Tam and a cold-faced smiling craftsman Chen You. There are fat star Zheng Zeshi, obscene male Lou Nanguang, and beautiful boy Liu Dehua; And the new art city "The Queen's Order" brings together the great director Tsui Hark, the singer Xu Guanjie, and the bald guy Mai Jia. Personality actress Zhang Aijia and so on.

What about "Crazy Boy", what is the lineup of this play? In addition to the topic constantly. Chen Xiaotang, who can be called the king of scandals, deserves everyone's attention, who else deserves everyone's attention? Lin Baoyi, who plays pheasant, or Liu Dehua, who makes a cameo appearance?

The lineup can't compare to others!

If the Golden Harvest lineup can score 80 points, and the new art city can score 85 points, then "Crazy Boy" can only play 60 points at most, and this 60 points is still given for Chen Xiaotang's face.

Let's talk about the influence of the three plays.

Golden Harvest's "Best Lucky Stars" is a mentor of the "Five Lucky Stars" series, and this series of movies has an excellent reputation. Whether it is the first or the second part, the box office is even more hot. The plot design and the actors' personalities are basically remarkable. Although there are no big names like Hung Jinbao and Cheng Long this time, they invited the family of Alan Tam, the king of the music world, to join. It can also be said to be quite interesting.

Not to mention Xinyicheng's "Best Partner: The Queen's Order", this drama continues the style of the previous films. still take the thrilling comedy route. Xu Guanjie and the bald Mai Jia, the living treasure partner, have become a signboard, and in terms of highlights, they even surpass Golden Harvest's "Best Lucky Star".

Let's take a look at Shaw Brothers' "Crazy Boy", it's not better, it's like an orphan who has no father's pain and no mother's love. There is no oversized roster, no huge investment, and no well-known influence. The whole one "newborn".

Shaw Brothers used this drama to PK with Golden Harvest New Art City, for the majority of fans and friends, and for the majority of entertainment media, there are only two words that can describe -----cannon fodder!!

Yes, the drama "Crazy Boy" premiered near the last train of the Spring Festival, joining the two tigers of Golden Harvest and Xinyicheng, whether it is the lineup of the movie, the influence is at a disadvantage, and the result can only be predicted with "cannon fodder".

However, in these surprises, in the midst of everyone's sighs, Shaw Brothers still "didn't know whether to live or die", "slapped a swollen face and became fat", and "anxious to find death" held a small-scale premiere ceremony.

In order to participate in the premiere press conference of "Crazy Boy". Chen Xiaotang once again asked the great directors Zhao Zhenqiang and Li Guoli for leave. Although the post-production of the two dramas "Goodbye Huangpu Beach" and "Huangpu Love". Most of them need the participation of this "little master". However, "Crazy Boy" is the debut film produced by Chen Xiaotang after all. Therefore, the two big directors also gave Chen Xiaotang half a day of leave.

........................................................................................................

The scene of the press conference.

The premiere of "Crazy Boy", which is known as a "suicide action", has already gathered a lot of entertainment media, not so much that they are here to participate in this premiere ceremony, but that they are ready to watch the excitement and witness this "vigorous" cannon fodder action.

"This is simply the birthday boy Weng hanging---- looking for death!"

"Yes, Golden Harvest and New Art City are eyeing each other. Shaw Brothers' drama is not a naked ~ naked lamb? ”

"Even if Chen Xiaotang can turn the world upside down, it is estimated that this time he will be defeated and die heroically!"

"Who said no, the Hong Kong Lunar New Year stalls have always been the most intense artillery schedules, and one person can't turn things around at all!"

………

The reporters muttered quietly, and many shook their heads and sighed; Some are waiting to see the excitement and see the jokes; Others expressed strong contempt and disdain for the play...... In short, people with any mentality have it.

Just when these media reporters were talking about it, the main creative team of the drama "Crazy Boy" came out one after another.

As the producer and leading actor, Chen Xiaotang sat in the middle of the speaker's seat in a dignified manner. To his left is the director Fat Man Wang Jing, and then the photographer. Editors... On the right is a leading actor, including Liu Dehua, Lin Baoyi, Weng Meiling, etc...

After the main creative team sat down, those media reporters quickly began to take pictures. For a while, there was an atmosphere of discussion. was replaced by professional ethics, and everyone was busy shooting the demeanor of the stars, but it was somewhat quiet.

Sitting down at the premiere ceremony held by the crew of "Crazy Boy", Chen Xiaotang patted the microphone with his hand, and after the audition, he half-jokingly said to the dense reporters and media sitting below: "Tell the truth. Actually, I don't have much time for this kind of press conference, media conference, and so on. If I had a choice, I'd rather spend this half-day vacation catching up on sleep---- you in the province see me as if I saw a national treasure panda. ”

"Also. I've been wondering how to make a great opening statement at this press conference so that you all remember me, but after thinking about it, it seems that all words are not enough to represent my excitement at the moment, why? Because the drama I supervised is finally going to meet everyone. It feels like a big girl getting married, and I'm nervous. I'm looking forward to ...... again."

"In fact, every time I face you, in the face of your respectable entertainment media, my first feeling is like a guy who is patting and dragging is visiting his mother-in-law----- my heart is full of all kinds of speculation, and I have already prepared thirty-six strategies, ready to deal with your questioning---- but unfortunately, I have not been a good student since I was a child, no way, I was busy catching fish in the water when I was in school, climbing trees and digging birds' nests, and I left all my serious learning, and now even if I can make up for it with diligence, I can't handle such a large lineup of yours alone, so I also implore you to hold your hands high and try to ask some nutritious topics later, as for those who are too gossipy, forgive me for taking the liberty and have to play Tai Chi! ”

For Chen Xiaotang's opening remarks after he came in. made the fat man Wang Jing and the others, who were already sitting next to him, laugh. Even the reporters burst into laughter. However, everyone knows that Chen Xiaotang treats the media as "amiable" and "answers all questions" on the surface, but in fact he is cunning and cunning, which is very difficult to grasp.

"May I ask Mr. Chen Xiaotang, the movie "Crazy Boy" is about to premiere, can you tell us how you performed in the movie? After all, this is your first time as an executive producer and starring in a movie. In your mind, how exactly was this movie made? Can you pass?! Sure enough, the reporters wasted no time. After Chen Xiaotang signaled that he could ask. Soon, a reporter threw his two questions in front of Chen Xiaotang.

"Hmm. Do you want to evaluate your performance? It's a bit awkward. Well, while I'd love to be humble, can't lie---- I'm doing perfectly! This is what director Wang Jing said about me. As for my own feelings, it's pretty good! Chen Xiaotang said with a smile.

After a pause, Mr. Chen began to answer the reporter's second question.

"As you say. This is my first film as an executive producer. I didn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive before, but now I know that filming is really not fun, but it's also fun! Why do you say that? It's not fun because you have to coordinate the eating, drinking, and Lazar of the entire crew, and you have to keep an eye on the progress of the shooting, because for us filmmakers, time is money, and if you delay for one more day, you will have to pay for one more day! How much does the day cost? Not one hundred or two hundred, but thousands! ”

"As for what I said was fun, it was because I met a lot of friends and learned a lot of things from them, for example, I learned how to shoot in reverse direction with the photographer, how to coordinate the actors' schedules with the scene notes, how to create different lighting atmospheres with the gaffers, and so on...... As the saying goes. There must be my teacher in a threesome, and I really understand this sentence. In a crew, everyone is my Chen Xiaotang's master, learn tirelessly, and don't pressure yourself with more arts, this is my harvest! In addition to that, filming is a job though. But there's no doubt that it's a lot of fun. It's very enjoyable to try to be the producer and actor of a movie. Frankly. It's a really good feeling! , Of course, I'm cool with you, and everyone is cool. That's really cool!! Okay, I'm done. Thank you! ”

All media reporters were shocked by Chen Xiaotang's endless answers, especially the series of "cool" words, and it took them most of the day to wake up that this guy had finished "cool".

"Mr. Chen. You seem to be interested in making movies. So, does this mean that your future development will be focused on film? Another reporter quickly asked.

"It's a question like a fish and a bear's paw. Hehe, I want to make a movie. Filming TV is also my passion! ”

The reporter didn't give up, and said: "May I ask if this is arranged by TVB." Or is it your own will as an artist? ”

"That's how your question strikes me. Are you a journalist? I've never said I wanted to give up on TV dramas. Although making movies is fun, TV series are more difficult for me to give up, this is a love, a righteousness, so no matter who asks me. I have to say, I am a brick of the wireless company, where I need to move! ”

Pick, this sycophant is hard enough!!

Subtle but not leaky. Honest and not obscene.

It's like a prostitute~ guest said to Miss Qinglou very innocently, i~love~you forever!

The reporter was very painful. refused to let go of Chen Xiaotang, and said: "Is this considered Tai Chi?" Chen Sheng, can you make it clearer? ”

Chen Xiaotang was unforgiving, but replied very seriously: "I am an actor." There is no doubt about that. Since it's an actor. Then make a movie and make a TV series. Doesn't seem to make any difference? So don't you seem very bored to ask so much?! ”

The reporter was choked by Chen Xiaotang and made him very faceless. Others laughed happily.

The reporter of "Fashion Weekly" looked at Chen Xiaotang's ridiculous way. Obviously, I don't like it a little and want to help my peers earn back face.

"Chen Sheng, you are the protagonist in the movie "Crazy Boy". What do you think of Miss Zhou Huimin who plays the heroine? What do you think of her? ”

The three tricks of gossip reporters ---- to engage in the relationship between men and women.

The relationship between men and women in the entertainment industry is the tightest and most popular, and if there are no scandals, there will be some scandals! This is the true meaning of gossip!!

This trick can refer to the previous "Xie Xian's old cow eats tender grass and hooks up with Deborah", the recent "Liu Jialing intervenes in Liang Zeng's love, and the close friends in the boudoir turn against each other", and the future "Shuangqi wins face, Ekin Cheng is negative Shao Meiqi, and loves Gigi Leung" and so on.

"Miss Zhou Huimin is a very beautiful woman. The filming was very hard. Speaking of which, she should have been recommended by me to join the crew. After all, she only worked at Radio Television Hong Kong before and had never been exposed to acting. To me, she's still a newcomer. But she is definitely quite serious when filming. I also suffered a lot. In the crew. Everyone is like a family, and they take care of each other......" Chen Xiaotang naturally saw the reporter's face. But he shrugged his shoulders and didn't give any positive answers.

The reporter sneered secretly, do you want to come up with a trick "golden cicada shelling"? Then I'll make a move with you to "make something out of nothing"!

The ----- of the three stunts of gossip reporters is made out of nothing!

In the entertainment industry, almost everyone knows the fact that many things are basically chasing after the wind, and then after these well-fed gossip media, they performed a "making something out of nothing" tricks that were comparable to the great shift, turning what was originally not there into a reality. This trick can be seen in the recent "Qiu Guan and Zhao Yazhi's amorous and hateful love since ancient times", as well as the future "Liu Dehua and Lin Jiadong's man must love the man with affection and veins Brokeback Mountain", and "For Gillian, Chong Guan was angry and fought for the red face Edison Chen and Yu Wenle" and so on.

So the reporter asked suspiciously: "May I ask Mr. Chen Xiaotang, it is rumored that you are really doing a fake play with Miss Zhou Huimin in the play, and you are shopping together, eating steak together, and you are also found to be in and out of her boudoir at night, may I ask, are you filming and dragging?" ”

Wronged, your uncle!

There is a shopping place!

There is no steak to eat!

In and out of the boudoir is greatly absent!!

However, Chen Xiaotang knew that the other party was definitely looking for something to do, and he couldn't be too impulsive.

So Chen Xiaotang pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "Excuse me, did you make up your so-called rumors, or did you find someone to make them up?" As an actor, I am very good at acting, and as a director, I am not bad at it, but what I am best at is writing scripts---- and my ability to make up stories is by no means weaker than yours! Of course, if you are just the kind of delirious person who is confused by the rumors, then, as myself, I can answer you very gently: we didn't procrastinate! ”

Chen Xiaotang's words are already very hot. Everyone present already knows that the endurance of this "wireless brother" is limited, you can ask the facts, but you can't make up the "facts". Otherwise, the other party may "go berserk", the "Dog King", a generation of predecessors in the gossip industry before, was beaten by him in front of many media because he touched Chen Xiaotang's bottom line, and then became the laughing stock of the entire entertainment industry, and also became an unforgettable shadow in the hearts of many media reporters.

That reporter ** is a chick, he doesn't care about the entertainment allusions in the past, and he doesn't care about the people around him, seeing that Chen Xiaotang can't get in, he can't say anything from him at all, so the reporter turned the muzzle of the gun and pointed the finger directly at Zhou Huimin----

The three stunts of gossip reporters----- persimmons pick up soft pinch!

This trick is self-explanatory, if you are not strong enough, then find a weak object to make yourself strong.

Like, here and now.

The reporter shamelessly pointed the finger at the jade girl Zhou Huimin and asked, "Miss Zhou Huimin." Are you dating with Mr. Chen Xiaotang? Without waiting for the other party to make any explanation, he directly added, "It's really a talented woman ......."

At the beginning, seeing the reporter throw this question at herself, Zhou Huimin was stunned. She thought that the actual relationship between herself and Chen Xiaotang was not as ambiguous as the reporter said, and was about to open her mouth to explain clearly, but the reporter directly concluded and blocked her mouth.

Outrageous?

Don't let people talk at all.

Zhou Huimin saw that this reporter was so dirty, her delicate cheeks suddenly turned cold, and she said: "There are many talented and beautiful actors. Are they going to drag it out? Now, to borrow a sentence from Mr. Chen, are you a journalist? Your question. I think you're a gossip press! ”

Time. The atmosphere of the entire press conference was awkward. Even some reporters have already looked at the brainless reporter angrily. After all, this is a press conference before the release of "Crazy Boy", and it is not a reception to create scandals to attract attention.

The reporter was stunned by a newcomer like Zhou Huimin, and wanted to continue to be mad, but Chen Xiaotang didn't give him a chance at all, so he got up directly in front of everyone and left the press conference without any response.

The emergence of this situation made the staff present not react, and made reporters speculate whether Chen Xiaotang left the table in anger because his relationship with Zhou Huimin was exposed, or because of his ......

Only the fat man Wang Jing was still sitting there very indifferently, but he was already secretly happy in his heart---- Chen Xiaotang's actions will undoubtedly push this news to the forefront of public opinion, and take this opportunity to see "Crazy Boy" in major newspapers and magazines.

The fat man even had some doubts, according to Chen Xiaotang's treachery, did he deliberately go his own way like this?!

You must know that Chen Xiaotang is a well-known 'little fox' in the entertainment industry, and he can always use the media to get the greatest benefits. can turn bad things into good things, and say dead things into alive, and the most important thing is that he seems to have been very lucky and has never missed a hand. If those media reporters are compared to the policemen who catch thieves, then Chen Xiaotang is a Jiangyang thief who will always get away with it. Often, reporters who thought they had the truth were sold by him and helped him count the money.

Therefore, the fat man has the right to believe that Chen Xiaotang is playing tricks again. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
