Chapter 175: "Mythology" Starts (I)

"Menjie, hurry up, it's about to be the launch conference of our "Myth", as the No. 1 supporting actor, it's a good opportunity to show your face!"

On November 16, 2004, Menjie left the city where he originally filmed "Jingwu Family", followed the crew of "Mythology" and went to another city.

And today, it is the day when Menjie and others' new electronic music "Myth" will be launched, and a press conference will be held first, and tomorrow, Menjie and others will start filming the film.

More than a month has passed since the last filming, and Menjie has also rested for a few days, and his mental state has already reached a peak state, and he is ready to meet new challenges!

"Brother Fang Chenglong, where am I sitting?"

The venue of the launch press conference is a place similar to a conference hall temporarily rented by Fang Chenglong, and important members of the crew such as Menjie each have a seat, and many other reporters are sitting below, waiting for the official start of the press conference, and asking questions to Menjie and others.

Taking advantage of the fact that reporters and fans have not yet entered, Menjie hurriedly found Fang Chenglong and asked about his location.

If it was in normal times, Menjie could still be casual, but today is facing the media, Menjie naturally can't be too casual.

Let's talk about the issue of seats, in Huaxia, it is a very deep knowledge!

If you sit too close to the center and occupy the seats of other important members, you may be hated and there will be news such as 'Menjie playing a big name', but if you do it too remotely. This press conference is indeed a very troublesome thing for Menjie to be unable to show his face.

"Sit in the middle and on the right, the two middle positions are me and Old Tang's. You and Kim Hee-sun are sitting on either side of the two of us! ”

casually pointed to the seat not far away, and after Fang Chenglong told Menjie where he should sit, he ran to the side and started to get busy.

Menjie shrugged his shoulders, and also knew that Fang Chenglong, as the producer and starring, would be busy today, and there would be no nonsense, so he took Kim Hee-sun to the central position, Menjie on the right, and Kim Hee-sun on the left. The two most central seats of the twelve seats were vacated.

These two positions, in addition to Fang Chenglong, the other is the director of the film. Hong Kong's top director, Tang Jili!

Speaking of Tang Jili, even Men Jie, who doesn't know Hong Kong directors very well, can't help but give a thumbs up. Big thumbs up. For befriending Tang Jili, Menjie has also been looking forward to it for a long time.

Tang Jili, as of this year, is forty-four years old, but his career as a director has been going for more than ten years!

In terms of time, it is about the same as Sun Zhou, but most of his films. In the hearts of many young people today, they have left a lot of weight!

"Top Ambition" filmed two years ago, two films from the "Police Story" series that he collaborated with Fang Chenglong, and "Red Fan Zone". Even "Thunder Police", which has cooperated with Kwok Fucheng, shows Tang Jili's connections and status in the Chinese film industry, which is absolutely extraordinary!

And what makes Menjie admire the most is that Tang Jili's road to directing is not as smooth sailing as he imagined!

Before becoming a director, Tang Jili served as a martial arts actor, martial arts stand-in, scene reporter, assistant director, producer and screenwriter and many other positions.

Therefore, although the two have not met for the time being, Menjie has a natural affection for Tang Jili, and the eight achievements are because the two are also from the grassroots.

However, although the movies he has filmed far surpass Sun Zhou in terms of box office, in terms of honor, it has always been a heart disease of Tang Jili!

has filmed so many good movies and very high box office movies, but Tang Jili has only won some 'Best Action Design Awards' in many awards, and he has never won the Best Director, which may be a pity!

And now, Fang Chenglong and Tang Jili, who have cooperated many times, have restarted a new cooperation, and Menjie believes that this cooperation, the two will definitely be able to create brilliance and obtain an equally excellent result!

After doing a while, Menjie saw a man who looked very young and had a creamy feeling coming not far away, and the sharp-eyed Menjie naturally came out of the other party's identity, and hurriedly stood up, and at the same time, he also whispered to Kim Hee-sun to stand up and greet the other party.

"Director Tang!"

Just as everyone else was busy and couldn't care about Tang Jili who was coming towards him, Menjie shook hands fiercely with a rich smile on his face.

And Kim Hee-sun on the side, because he couldn't speak Chinese, just smiled at Tang Jili on the side and didn't say anything else.

"You're Menjie, aren't you?"

Almost instantaneously, Tang Jili recognized Men Jie, and there was also a faint smile on his face, "I heard Fang Chenglong tell me about you, saying that your acting skills are very good, not inferior to some first-line movie stars, and you are very suitable for this role, I am looking forward to your performance!" ”

"Xie Lu Xie Tang Dao's praise, in fact, it is not as good as Brother Fang Chenglong said, it is just good luck, I was selected by Brother Fang Chenglong, so I can have such an opportunity!"

"I'm a director, if you're the only one who knows the way, don't be humble!"

Under Menjie's respectful invitation, Tang Jili also sat next to Menjie, chuckling and chatting with Menjie.

Although Fang Chenglong and Tang Jili can't speak Korean and can't communicate with Kim Hee-sun, after all, Fang Chenglong and Kim Hee-sun know each other, so Menjie sat down next to Tang Jili.

"When I was casting before, Fang Chenglong mentioned you to me, and I didn't know you well at the time, so I didn't agree, but then I deliberately got to know you!"

As soon as he sat down, Tang Jili chatted with Menjie, "I heard that you have been running in Hengdian for three years, and at the end of last year, you officially entered the entertainment industry?" ”

"Well, my acting skills were too bad before, and I learned a lot of things after running in Hengdian for three years, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today!" Menjie nodded and said very modestly.

"Well, although I am not from a professional background, I have always believed that only by constantly improving yourself in your work can you make your acting skills better, and only those who have experienced tempering can have greater achievements in the future!"

Hearing Menjie's affirmative reply, Tang Jili couldn't help but glance at Menjie, and Menjie also noticed that the favorability of the two had reached the level of '40% favorability', and his heart moved, and he also understood.

Tang Jili was able to become an old friend with Fang Chenglong and cooperated many times, and the eight achievements are because both of them are from the grassroots, have been honed in basic positions for many years, and have common topics, and Menjie also rose like this, so it is naturally easier to get the recognition of Tang Jili and Fang Chenglong!

"Some time ago, Fang Chenglong watched some of the recorded pictures you recorded during the filming of "Jingwu Family", and it is indeed very similar to the No. 1 supporting actor in "Mythology" in terms of temperament, not only Fang Chenglong, I am also very much in favor of and look forward to your performance in the next movie!"

"Director Tang, don't worry, I'm in very good shape now, and after the official start of filming tomorrow, I will definitely not let you down!" Menjie patted his chest and reassured.

"But after all, I've just debuted for a year, and I don't understand a lot of things, and if there is anything I can't do well at that time, I have to bear with Director Tang!"

"This is natural, our director's job is to teach actors how to act!"

Tang Jili chuckled lightly and agreed very happily, so that Menjie could continue to chat.

Since Zhilu Dao Tang Jili attaches more importance to his grassroots background, and he finally rose through continuous tempering at the grassroots level, Menjie can be regarded as wanting to cater to the other party, and when chatting, he often talks about some of the difficult experiences when he was playing tricks in Hengdian.

Of course, in the middle, Menjie will not forget to raise some problems encountered in the process of filming.

With Tang Jili, a big director of China's top commercial films, Men Jie will not waste such precious resources and not use them, so he naturally raises all his questions and waits for Tang Jili's answer.

In the face of such an actor who he likes quite a lot and works so hard, Tang Jili will naturally not be stingy or impatient, and patiently explained it to Menjie.

It's a pity that happy times are usually short-lived, and after a short time, basically all the important members of the "Myth" crew arrived, and after Fang Chenglong was also seated, fans and reporters who had been waiting at the door for a long time also flocked in.

Basically, in addition to the staff and members of the "Myth" crew, nearly 100 reporters and nearly 1,000 fans came, and there were people sitting in every seat, and even a small number of people did not have chairs, so they stood in the aisle and were unwilling to leave.

What makes Menjie a little happy is that among the more than 1,000 fans, there are nearly 100 fans who belong to Menjie!

Among the nearly 1,000 fans, at least eighty percent are specifically for Fang Chenglong, and the remaining two percent are basically fans of Menjie and Kim Hee-sun, which shows that although Menjie's popularity is not very high now, it is not low!

Menjie believes that after his two movies are officially released and the new album is officially released, the number of his fans will increase rapidly, and he doesn't need to be too impatient!

After thinking about it, after Fang Chenglong, the most important member of the "Myth" crew, spoke, the launch conference of "Myth" officially began! (To be continued.) )
