Chapter 218: Press Conference (2)
The press conference was held on time as scheduled, because this press conference did not summon all the actors to the scene, and there were only two Korean actors, Zixi and Zhang Hanna, so the scheduled time was only about an hour, and the time for asking questions to reporters was probably less than half an hour.
Under the expectation of all reporters, Huang Baiming and Zeng Zhiwei led the first to come out, followed by director Ma Chucheng, actors Tony Leung, Shu Qi, Zixi and Zhao Hanna. The camera in the reporter's hand had a few eager to take pictures of Zixi, as for Tony Leung and Shu Qi, they are too familiar, as for the memory of Zixi, it is still stuck on which child star ten years ago. As for Zhao Hanna, who was following Zixi, no one knew who she was, and she was automatically ignored.
"The welcome to all journalists is really unexpected for me." Huang Baiming looked at the more than 100 reporters below and said with a smile. He has already received uninvited news from many reporters, and the new film materials he prepared also need to be reprinted, otherwise he will not be able to make a copy for everyone. 'Tianchen Entertainment' is not a stingy company, and the paper of a few documents is not a big problem. The following will be distributed relevant materials about the new film, which not only contains a brief introduction to the film, but also a list of cast and crew that has been drawn up. However, I need to remind everyone that due to the timing arrangement, the time for the last question will be within half an hour, please forgive me for fighting! ”
The materials were quickly distributed to reporters, and they were only two or three pages long, and they could be read quickly. During this period, Huang Baiming, as the managing director, and producers Zeng Zhiwei and Zhuang Cheng introduced in detail the entire birth process of this film with an investment of more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars. The new movie is tentatively named "Hancheng Raiders", and the birth of this movie comes from the success of "Tokyo Raiders" created by the original team behind the scenes four years ago, which has been affirmed at the box office and word of mouth.
The re-use of director Ma Chucheng and actor Tony Leung this time is to continue this success. It's just that the location of the story was changed from Japan to South Korea, and for this reason, many Korean actors, including Zixi, were also invited to co-star in order to strengthen their momentum.
The whole movie still follows the route of [Tokyo Raiders], and youth idols, acting schools, and powerful actors bring together to make the film more eye-catching. And the whole film is full of action, comedy, love, youth, stars and other entertainment elements. In addition to shooting countless "beautiful people and beautiful scenes", this time the action scenes were all performed with real fists and feet, which made the audience more tense and exciting. Therefore, Xue Chunwei, as the action director, will join forces with another action director, Qian Jiale, to create a kung fu feast waiting for everyone.
After Huang Baiming finished speaking, director Ma Chucheng also told the story of filming this story again after more than four years of what he had done. In addition to the attraction of the script, it is to be able to cooperate with Tony Leung again to express expectations, and the addition of Shu Qi and K-pop star Zixi makes the film more interesting.
When it was time for reporters to ask questions, the first reporter to stand up and ask questions did not ask Director Ma Chucheng and Tony Leung a question, but asked Feng Zixi, who had always kept a smile, in English: "Hello Zixi!" I'm a reporter for Next Magazine. I want to ask Zixi, why will he star in the movie directed by Ma Chucheng this time? Aside from the company's reasons, is there anything else that appeals to you about the script of this film? ”
Feng Zixi nodded to the reporter and replied in fluent Cantonese: "Of course, the first thing that attracted me was the actors and the script, when Uncle Tony Leung called me and invited me to participate in a movie, indicating that I was not the protagonist." I'm working on a TV series in South Korea, and it's already premiering, and when I got the call, I thought how lucky it would be to be able to work with Uncle Tony Leung and be able to work with the best actor in Cannes. So I agreed without even thinking about it. Later, after receiving the script, I was attracted by the plot. That's why I took on this film. ”
"Zixi, your Cantonese is not unfamiliar yet, I thought you had studied and lived abroad for many years, and now you have made your debut in South Korea and become famous, I thought that your Cantonese was all forgotten." Tony Leung deliberately reminded the reporters below that although Feng Zixi is not a native of Hong Kong, his father and the place where he lived since he was a child are all Hong Kong.
With Tony Leung's reminder, the following reporter is not stupid, and he also uses Cantonese to ask questions, but this question is still asked to Feng Zixi. "Excuse me, Zixi, I'm a reporter from 'Sing Tao Daily'. You have been a Hong Kong child star since you were a child, why did you debut in South Korea? Does this Hong Kong film herald the beginning of your return to Hong Kong? ”
"In fact, this problem can be understood as long as you collect information. My debut in South Korea was purely a coincidence, and it didn't have much to do with today's press conference, so I won't say much more. As for the filming of Hong Kong films this time, it is just a normal arrangement for work. Moreover, I have signed a contract with a TCE company in South Korea, and it depends on the company's arrangement as to where to develop in the future, or to have the opportunity to return to Hong Kong. "If you say this, you don't say it, everyone knows that whether it's Hong Kong's 'Tianchen Entertainment' or South Korea's TCE, it's all your family's, sign a fart contract, do you want to terminate the contract, and the president and council of TCE will make it difficult for you?
However, the reporter obviously didn't want to be confused by Feng Zixi like this, and then asked: "It is rumored that you have had scandals with several Korean actresses, does this mean that Korean actresses attract your attention more than Hong Kong actresses?" ”
Feng Zixi looked at Huang Baiming and Tony Leung with a wry smile, he wanted them to relieve themselves, but these two turned their heads sideways and didn't even look at Feng Zixi. "I believe that everyone here is the elite of entertainment reporters, and everyone should know why there will be scandals and how scandals appear. As for who is more attractive to the actresses in South Korea and Hong Kong, I can't say, after all, I still have to plan for the future, and it's not good to offend either side. In one sentence, it is not up to me to conclude the matter of personal preference. ”
"Then ......."
The reporter wanted to continue to ask questions, but was interrupted by Zeng Zhiwei. "Please note that this is a press conference for the movie, not Zixi's personal press conference, and there is not much time to ask questions, so don't waste it on these questions. Zixi will no longer answer questions that have nothing to do with the film. “
With Zeng Zhiwei's reminder, the reporters returned to the topic. Although there are still many questions to ask Feng Zixi, the current situation is no longer allowed. Just wait until after the press conference and look for opportunities.
The reporter's questions began to focus on when the film started shooting, whether the filming locations were mainly concentrated in South Korea, as well as the 40 million investment in the entire movie, how much salary was occupied by the actors, and what schedule the film was scheduled to be released.
When asked these questions, the answers were all made by Huang Baiming, Zeng Zhiwei and Ma Chucheng, Tony Leung, as the biggest star here, is also one of the targets of reporters' key questions. However, there are still reporters who like to involve the personal life of actors. It's like Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung's marathon relationship development, as well as when they will get married and other issues, all of which Tony Leung laughed and excused himself with a smile that the movie has nothing to do with it.
As an unknown newcomer, Hannah Zhao is destined not to be taken seriously by reporters. When Ma Chucheng introduced her, she said that she was an important role, and Zhao Hanna greeted reporters in pure Chinese. Only then did a reporter briefly ask about his feelings about being able to cooperate with Hong Kong superstar Tony Leung and South Korean star Zixi. Subsequently, Zhao Hannah was completely reduced to a supporting role, and could only sit with a smile on her face, waiting for the end of the press conference.
"Before you became famous, journalists were like that. They like to talk to red to white, and whoever is red likes to ask questions. So you must not mind, and don't be discouraged. When you become popular and popular, you will be afraid that there will be too many reporters around you. Feng Zixi, who was sitting next to her, whispered to comfort Zhang Hanna, who was already smiling so stiff that his facial muscles stiffened.
"Thank you!" Zhao Hanna replied with a slight tugging of the corners of her mouth. As a newcomer, she has also filmed the MV of popular singers in Hong Kong, and of course she knows what kind of virtue these reporters in Hong Kong are. Pulling the banner of 'freedom of speech', there is no need to be responsible for anything. Anything that they are not allowed to say, or that they are accused of saying wrong, is that there is no 'freedom of speech' and 'freedom of the press'. It's as if these 'freedoms' are tailor-made for them, and they are what they call justice and moral standards.
"Zixi, is it okay to have dinner together tonight? We haven't seen each other in 10 years. Huang Baiming and Zeng Zhiwei pulled Feng Zixi, who wanted to leave first.
"Yes! I haven't seen you for so many years, and although I have learned some about your situation in Korea on the news and the Internet, nothing is better than what you said in person. Why don't I call Ah Miao and Andy, as well as Charizard and Xingzai, let's go to have a meal together, I think they will be equally happy to see you. Tony Leung said.
Feng Zixi remembered Kim Tae-hee and Ha Ji-won who were still waiting at home, but today they said that they would cook the Cantonese food they had just learned from a few aunts, and let Feng Zixi go home and try it. Although I am worried about the taste, the cooking skills of the girls are not too bad, and I hope that there will be a miracle.
"Several of my Korean friends also live there, and today they said that they would cook by themselves, and I promised them, so I don't want to miss the appointment." Feng Zixi was a little embarrassed: "Why don't you call Miao Qiaowei and Andy Lau's uncles to the villa, so that we can taste my friend's craftsmanship together?" ”
"Friends? Girlfriend, right? Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile: "I learned from your father that your kid is very romantic in South Korea, and he has found several beautiful women, and he came out of the same mold as your father." Did you bring them to Hong Kong this time to meet your family? ”
"I really can't hide it from Uncle Zhiwei Zeng."
"Then I really want to check it out." Huang Baiming and Zeng Zhiwei both knew that Feng Yifeng intended to train Feng Zixi as the next overtime, so the women who came back with Feng Zixi would be the future hostesses of the family and the entire capital kingdom. Although he has a close relationship with Feng Yifeng, he is a son of heaven and a courtier, and being able to have a good relationship with the new heir and lay a good foundation with the future hostess is also an important public relations tool in the workplace.
"Wei Zai, you go and call Ah Miao and Breathing Fire to inform them, I'll try to contact Sanmao and Jackie Chan, today everyone will go to the villa where to get together, don't get drunk and have no home." By the way, let's take a look at Zixi's vision, and see if he has inherited his father's Yanfu. Zeng Zhiwei clapped his head.
