Chapter 49: Provoking Journalists
Standing in front of Yue Song was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a smiling round face that looked very kind, with long and short hair, standing in front of Yue Song half a head shorter, about one meter and seven years old.
Yue Song held the other party's outstretched hand with both hands, "Hello Director Cheng, my name is Yue Song, and I am still an out-and-out newcomer, please give me more guidance in the future." ”
For this action director who has heard of it for a long time, Yue Song is nothing now, and he naturally has to lower his posture.
Yue Song's attitude made Cheng Xiaodong very satisfied, and he felt that the object of this cooperation should not be too difficult.
In fact, although the director doesn't like newcomer actors, he won't be helpless about it, and the main fear is those newcomers who don't know how to pretend to understand and are not modest at all.
Like Yue Song, who is neither arrogant nor humble on the surface, and has just the right attitude, is the director's favorite object to work with, because this kind of person knows the depths, knows what to do, and how to do it.
The conversation between the two quickly came to an end, and they were about to attend the press conference.
Yue Song is also very satisfied with finding Cheng Xiaodong to be the director, the other party is a hot action movie director in the Chinese film industry, and a big director on the same level as Xu Ke.
The most important thing is that Cheng Xiaodong not only has a deep directing foundation, but also is the premier martial arts instructor in Xiangjiang!
What is the highlight of the drama Hurricane Rescue? In addition to the many means taken by the male protagonist to rescue his sister, which constitutes a thrilling sensory effect, the other more are mainly reflected in the protagonist's neat skills!
Yue Song is not afraid that the difficulty of the action scene is too high, but he is afraid that it is too simple and not effective enough!
In fact, there is one more thing that Cheng Xiaodong didn't know, Yue Song had already seen him a few years ago.
The hero of the domestic super blockbuster released three years ago, the action director is Cheng Xiaodong.
However, at that time, the identities of the two were very different, one was a powerful general relied on by Lao Mouzi, and the other was Zhang Manyu Wuti.
Yue Song didn't take the initiative to bring up this matter, firstly, he wanted to reminisce about the old days or set it up, and it was not bad for this time, and there would be time in the future, and secondly, he had not shown the slightest ability now, and it was really not interesting to say this.
According to the convention, when holding a press conference for a new film, familiar reporters are usually found, which can not only avoid asking embarrassing questions, but also create a better atmosphere, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the filming of the crew.
In the 05 years, the investment of 50 million is not a small amount, and it is also an absolute big investment and big production in Xiangjiang, plus Yihe Xingguang also has their own connections here, Hula came to dozens of reporters at once, and even Cheng Xiaodong was shocked.
To say that he is willing to take on this play, in addition to the fact that the salary is really generous, the quality of the script itself is also an important reason, but when he heard that it was starring a newcomer, he was hesitant at first.
After all, with such a big investment, and the leading actor is a newcomer, what if the acting is smashed? It will certainly have an impact on his reputation as well.
However, Bao Minxing came to the door in person, and after some detailed discussions, Cheng Xiaodong finally agreed.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the drama itself, the investor gave him considerable autonomy, except for the actor and a small supporting role, he can choose other roles, as long as the choice is not too bad, Bao Minxing can nod and agree.
But in the end, what made him tempted was Yue Song's title of "Little Martial God".
Cheng Xiaodong himself is an action director, and he is also well-known in Hollywood, what kind of good skills he has never seen?
However, the title of this little martial god was originally passed down from Zhang Dabeard, which couldn't help but he didn't pay attention to.
Zhang Dabeard is an old man, and there are rumors in the circle, but that is only reflected in his character, but in terms of evaluation and vision for newcomers, this old guy still has some ability.
Since even he thought that Yue Song was good and worthy of such an endearing title as "Little Martial God", Cheng Xiaodong finally decided to take a risk and give it a try.
There are so many reporters now, which also shows that investors really value this drama. Invisibly, Cheng Xiaodong also felt a little more pressure in his heart.
The press conference was held on time.
The first to ask questions was a tabloid reporter.
"May I ask Director Cheng, is the one sitting next to you the leading actor of this play? Why is he the only one? What about the others? ”
Cheng Xiaodong smiled, "I'll tell you the truth, there is actually only one leading actor in this play, that is, the handsome guy next to me, and the others...... It can't be said that it is not important, but he is the only one who has really determined it. ”
"Hello, could you please introduce yourself?" Another reporter from a magazine asked.
"My name is Yue Song, and I am a signed artist of Yihe Starlight in the mainland, this drama is not only my first play, but also my first starring role." Yue Song's face was calm, and he didn't show any panic.
As the so-called self-congruence is not chaotic, Bao Minxing was originally worried that he would be nervous and speechless, and wanted his exclusive agent to make some preparations for him in advance, such as how to deal with reporters' questions.
However, Yue Song rejected them all, in his opinion, this was completely unnecessary.
Isn't that a journalist? Regardless of whether he is a paparazzi or a conscientious agent of the public's right to know, as long as he answers step by step, they will not be bored.
Bao Minxing is actually a little bottomless in his heart, but it is also true that Yue Song is a newcomer, so he should be given a chance to exercise.
As soon as I heard that this kid named Yue Song was a newcomer, the dozens of reporters here all exchanged heads.
Not to mention in the mainland, even in Xiangjiang, tens of millions of productions have not heard that a newcomer will be found to play the starring role.
"Is there anything special about you? Why did you choose you as the lead actor in this play? Is it the opinion of the investor? Director Cheng, what do you think? ”
The reporter's question was a little sharper, Yue Song and Cheng Xiaodong glanced at each other, and finally Cheng Xiaodong made a gesture for him to answer first.
"I'm nothing special, it's just that my skills are better, which is why I signed a contract with the company in the first place, since the company signed me and invested in this drama, it's not strange that I am the leading actor. By the way, the screenwriter of this play is also me. ”
A group of reporters were in an uproar when they heard this, and they are both screenwriters and starring actors, are you Jack? Chen?
Seeing this, Cheng Xiaodong knocked lightly on the table and brought the microphone to him: "My opinion is actually very simple, Xiaoyue is a newcomer, but everyone is from a newcomer, don't focus on this, you should pay more attention to the play itself." 50 million investment, but also to go to several countries in South Asia to film, the type of story and content are guaranteed to be something you haven't seen, Xiaoyue He wrote this book is good enough, which is also the main reason why I took over in the first place! ”
Obviously, Cheng Xiaodong is promoting the hurricane rescue, and at the same time turning the attention of reporters to the movie itself.
But there are still journalists who refuse to give up.
"May I ask Yue Sheng, you said that you are good, how good are you? There are not a few people in Xiangjiang who are good, even the powerful martial arts also grab a lot of them, do you think your strength is qualified to be the leading actor in a play? Is there any other reason? ”
Bao Minxing, who was standing in a corner of the venue not far away, suddenly darkened his face, and had obviously explained to these paparazzi before he came, asking them not to ask some too sharp topics, but in the end, someone still asked so.
Although I have long known that the reporters in Xiangjiang are not easy to deal with, there is no need to be so faceless, right? Could it be that the money is too little?
Not to mention Bao Minxing, who was suffering from gains and losses on the side, Yue Song's face also sank.
The other party openly questioned whether he was qualified, so should he be polite to him?
"Whether you are qualified or not, it's not up to you to decide. If you think I'm not very good, you can try it yourself, I promise not to bully you! Yue Song suddenly raised a finger, "See?" I'll just sit here with one finger and not move, and if you can make me move back, I'll think I'm bragging just now. How's that, do you dare to bet on this? ”
