Zhang Zitao is a tabloid tabloid reporter, and the circulation of his "Xiangjiang Metropolis Daily" is less than 40,000 copies per issue, which is not at all comparable to the newspaper industry bosses such as Ming Pao and Dongfang Yuebao. However, although the sparrow is small and has all kinds of organs, although Zhang Zitao, who is the number one reporter in the entertainment section of the newspaper, does not even have a small soldier under his hands, he still works happily.

The news of the tabloids is naturally not as in-depth and connotative as the news of the big newspapers, so the editor-in-chief of "Hong Kong Metropolis Daily" has always asked his people to win by surprise.

And this is also the purpose of their newspaper!

No, now reporters from nearly 100 media outlets in Hong Kong are waiting for the press conference to start in the conference room on the fifth floor, and he is the only one who quietly touches the housing department on the eighth floor. Zhang Zitao had already asked a friend inside the hotel to inquire clearly, Lin Qingxia lived on this floor, and if he took any exciting photos at this time, it would be a great achievement!

"Click-"

The door of No. 809 in front of him was suddenly twisted open, and Lin Qingxia was about to come out! Zhang Zitao hurriedly raised his camera.

As soon as Li Xuan stepped out of Lin Qingxia's guest room, he heard the sound of the camera pressing the shutter, and helplessly glanced at the four-eyed reporter at the corner of the corridor in front of him, Li Xuan turned around and said, "Qingxia, aunt, please ......"

"Click, click, click......"

The shutter was still ringing, and Lin Qingxia, who came out before her mother, also frowned and glanced at the reporter, it is estimated that she also knows the abilities of these uncrowned kings, although she is a little bored, she doesn't say anything.

However, Lin's mother obviously had a lot more confidence, and as soon as she came out and found that the situation was wrong, she immediately pointed at the reporter and said loudly: "Which newspaper are you from?" It's forbidden to take pictures here, so I'll call a security guard if I take another photo! ”

“ok！ ok！ Zhang Zitao hurriedly let go of the camera, waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not going to shoot, I'll go down ......."

"Wait a minute!" Li Xuan suddenly shouted to the reporter.

Zhang Zitao turned around and asked suspiciously, "Mr. Li, is there anything else?" ”

"You guys, you can't scribble, do you?" Li Xuan is very suspicious of the quality of these entertainment reporters at the moment, this guy has touched here, a typical paparazzi!

"How so?" Zhang Zitao's eyes widened and said: "Although our newspaper is small, we have always insisted on telling the truth, saying whatever we see, and it is impossible to fake!" ”

Looking at the innocent four-eyed reporter in front of him, Li Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's sorry, just tell the truth, the press conference is about to start, you go down quickly." ”

"Then Mr. Li, Miss Lin, I'll go down first." Zhang Zitao nodded and said hello, turned around and ran towards the stairwell.

This guy, don't take the elevator if you have it?

Li Xuan looked at the reporter who left in a hurry and always felt that something was wrong, but unfortunately that person had already run away at this time, Li Xuan just wanted to arrest the person back and ask clearly, but he couldn't find anyone.

Shaking his head and throwing these messy things out of his mind, Li Xuan took Lin Qingxia's mother and daughter to the elevator.

Li Xuan held a press conference this time, and there were many reporters attending the meeting. Not only did more than 100 media in Hong Kong send reporters to attend the press conference, but even some media in Taiwan and Southeast Asia also received the news and sent reporters one after another.

This is not only because the film has the participation of Lin Qingxia, the goddess of literature and art, but also because this film is the first time that Shaw Brothers Pictures has cooperated with a small local film company in Hong Kong on such a large scale.

As soon as Li Xuan and Lin Qingxia entered the venue, they caused a sensation at the scene, and the sound of "clicking" photos was endless. As for Lin Mu Ma Lanying, she stayed at the back of the venue.

The two walked straight towards the rostrum, where Xu Yijie, Ye Zhiming and Shaw Brothers' production manager Huang Jiaxi were already sitting.

After everyone sat down, Ye Zhiming, who temporarily served as the host, stood up, coughed into the microphone, and said directly after quieting the scene: "Hello media friends, welcome to this press conference." I believe you have long known the reason for our press conference. This first article is to focus on answering the doubts of reporters and friends about this new play; This second, not to mention, in addition to promoting the movie, what other reason can there be? So ......"

Ye Zhiming was only halfway through his words, and there was already a burst of laughter in the audience. Raised his hand and pressed down, and after the silence, Ye Zhiming continued: "So I don't talk nonsense, now everyone can start to formally raise their hands and ask questions." But be warned, you can only ask about the film. ”

After Ye Zhiming finished speaking, he put down the hand holding the microphone. At this time, the reporters in the audience raised their right hands one after another, making Li Xuan inexplicably feel like he was being a teacher.

After inspecting the venue, Ye Zhiming pointed to a reporter in the second row and said, "That reporter friend in yellow, what's your problem?" ”

The yellow-clothed reporter stood up excitedly and asked, "Hello Mr. Huang, I am Shi Yexuan, a reporter from Oriental Daily. I would like to ask why Shaw Brothers co-produced a movie with Xuan Yuan this time? What is the inside story that prompted Sir Shao to make such a big determination this time? ”

Huang Jiaxi obviously didn't expect that the first question was coming to him, and he was stunned for a moment before pulling the microphone and saying, "Inside story? The inside story is that Mr. Li is a very talented filmmaker, and Sir Shao also appreciates Mr. Li's ability very much, and this time the two sides just had a mutually beneficial cooperation opportunity, so they hit it off, and that's it. Do you have any questions? ”

Such a panacea answer obviously made Shi Yexuan dissatisfied, but he couldn't think of any other questions for a while. However, Ye Zhiming didn't give him time to think about it, and pointed to another reporter and said, "Then this reporter friend, what is your problem?" ”

The man immediately stood up, looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Hello Director Li, I am a reporter from "Xiangjiang Daily", there is gossip that your "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has invested several millions, I am curious, may I ask how much your specific investment is?" ”

"Someone finally asked me a question, and I thought I was the first." Li Xuan smiled, stretched out his right hand and gestured a figure of eight and continued: "For this movie, my budget is eight million Hong Kong dollars. ”

Boom -

The scene of the press conference exploded instantly, and the discussion in the crowd became louder, and cameras from all walks of life also shot at Li Xuan. The reporter was stunned for a moment just now, and hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Li, aren't you afraid that this movie will hit the streets?" Eight million investment! The current martial arts films can't even sell eight million at the box office. ”

"Haha......" Li Xuan laughed and continued: "You said it, the current martial arts films can't sell this box office at all, but my movie is not the current but the future, the future movie, how do you know that it can't sell eight million box office?" ”

Aren't you! The reporter looked at Li Xuan with a strange expression, and continued to ask, "Then can you reveal the general plot of the movie?" ”

"This, forgive Li for having nothing to say." Li Xuan said with a smile: "The plot must be kept secret, what if it is pirated?" Alright, sir, that's all for us, and give up time to the next person. ”

As soon as these words came out, a bunch of hands were raised, Ye Zhiming randomly clicked on someone, and saw that person stand up and asked: "Miss Lin, I am a reporter from China Times, and we know that Mr. Qin Xianglin was also in the United States some time ago......"

"This gentleman, this gentleman!" Ye Zhiming interrupted him unceremoniously, and said with a cold face: "I think I made it clear before the press conference started, please don't mention issues unrelated to the movie." ”

"But ......"

"Nothing." Ye Zhiming's face became even colder: "If you still want to ask this question, we can only ask you out." ”

"Sorry, sorry, I was negligent." The reporter hurriedly apologized, looked at Lin Qingxia and Xu Xijie and asked, "Then Mr. Xu, Miss Lin, may I ask you two who have never made a martial arts film, and you don't have any martial arts skills, can you be sure to make this martial arts movie well?" ”

This guy is smart, and when he saw that the atmosphere was wrong, he immediately changed the question, and asked the two protagonists together. Xu Xijie made a slightly humble gesture to Lin Qingxia, and Lin Qingxia picked up the microphone and said: "I remember when Director Li first came to me, he said that you are the character in my mind, as long as you play it, if the movie is not filmed well, it is the director's problem." So, you have to ask the director about this. ”

As soon as Lin Qingxia's witty words came out, they caused laughter, and the atmosphere that was almost cold just now disappeared. Xu Xijie was also a little crazy, pulled the microphone and continued: "Yes, it will be the director's problem when the movie is not made well." Moreover, the reporter just now, I don't have a little martial arts skills, I started making martial arts movies. ”

“sorry！ sorry！ The reporter was two sorry again, and as soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Since the two protagonists said so, what did Director Li say?" ”

"I said? How can I say that if you don't know kung fu, you can't act as a hero? Li Xuan said helplessly: "Then how can there be a suave Chu Liuxiang on TV?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a round of applause at the scene. Zheng Shaoqiu's version of Chu Liuxiang is a classic role that no one can surpass in this era, and many people in Hong Kong are his fans.

The topic of the next press conference has been revolving on other details of the movie, and occasionally the topic will be on Xu Xijie's old club Golden Harvest, and Xu Xijie, a guy who is not crazy, has been rounded. After chatting for more than half an hour, everyone on the stage answered dryly, and Ye Zhiming announced the end of the press conference.

The next day, as Li Xuan expected, almost all the newspapers in Hong Kong published the news of the press conference on the headlines of the entertainment pages.

"Shaw Brothers Xuanyuan cooperation, what is the inside story! 》

"Eight million investment in martial arts films, is it confident or arrogant? 》

"Lin Qingxia tried martial arts films for the first time, and Lin Meiren became a golden swallow. 》

"The cooperation between the god of song and the actress, let's wait and see! 》

……

The newspaper had mixed reviews, but what made Li Xuan cry and laugh the most was another newspaper, and the headline on the front page of the entertainment section of "Xiangjiang Metropolis Daily" almost scared Li Xuan.

"Exploring the Secret of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", the story that the director and actors have to say! 》

Even if the title is ambiguous, the accompanying photo is a photo of Li Xuan and Lin Qingxia when they just came out of the hotel room, and after half a second of shooting, Lin's mother will be able to appear in the photo.

As for the content, it is said that the director and the actors stayed together in a room for half an hour. The newspaper said vaguely, neither did it say whether it was a lonely man and a lonely woman, or a group of three or five, anyway, the whole article can definitely lead to reverie.

Li Xuan gritted his teeth and remembered the four-eyed reporter, he really told the truth, that is, he often said a few words less! (To be continued.) )
