Chapter 459: Spring Festival Hit
"Strange Heroes in Disguise" is a sci-fi comedy, the best release schedule is in addition to the Christmas file, that is, the Spring Festival file, the Christmas file will definitely not be able to catch up, even if it can catch up, it will collide with "The Storm and the World", it is really not a wise choice, so "The Strange Hero in Disguise" can only be released in the Spring Festival. But even so, the production period of "Strange Heroes in Disguise" was very tight, and the special effects of the Tang Dynasty worked overtime for a month, and finally completed it before the Spring Festival. The publicity work started as early as half a month ago, but because the heroine Gong Li was going to shoot "Star Wars Prequel", a large part of the publicity itinerary was carried out by the actor Liang Jiahui and other main creators.
Because the Spring Festival schedule was chosen, the screening of "Strange Heroes in Disguise" was placed in Hong Kong, which was the first large-scale zuò film that Shaw Brothers participated in the investment and shooting. In addition, many large numbers of celebrities also came to help, making fans and reporters at the scene really addicted to celebrities.
Gu Chen also came, Shao Yifu came, it was a little unreasonable for him not to come, but he was a person who came to the screening scene, as for his rumored girlfriend and the heroine of the film, Gong Li, arrived early with the crew, this situation made the reporters at the scene, and even the guests who came to help out were strange, because this is really abnormal, and they all speculated that Gu Chen had changed his sex? Or did you have a conflict with Gong Li?
The scandal between Gu Chen and Gong Li was fake, which was selectively ignored by everyone, and it was really Gu Chen's character in this area that was not very good.
The screening is certainly lively, but whether the screening is successful depends on the film itself. "Strange Heroes in Disguise" should first be a witty comedy, with a bit of nonsensical elements, and then add a lot of special effects to the production. The final formation of the Hong Kong science fiction comedy.
In terms of special effects, the level of special effects in the Tang Dynasty is still worth affirming, despite the tight construction period, but the quality has not declined, every time the protagonist puts on a mask, the gorgeous scene makes the audience addicted, and Liang Jiahui's slightly exaggerated performance is appropriately combined with these gorgeous scenes, which will not make the audience feel stunned at all. Extraordinary comedic talent is immediately revealed.
In fact, this is not the first time Liang Jiahui has acted in a comedy, and the previous collaboration with Wang Guxian "First Love 5o Times" is a romantic comedy, but the difference in subject matter is that the performance styles of the two films are completely different. However, Liang Jiahui can interpret the role vividly, just right, this skill is by no means something that ordinary actors can achieve. It can be seen that in terms of adaptability and shaping to different types of films. Liang Jiahui is far ahead of Zhou Xingchi. After all, Zhou Xingchi is just good at nonsensical comedy.
It's in this screening room. Many people were not optimistic about the replacement of the actor of "Strange Heroes in Disguise" from Stephen Chow to Leung Jiahui, because judging from the information announced, "Strange Heroes in Disguise" is a comedy, and in Hong Kong, the most powerful comedy is Chow Xingchi, who is known as the 'cold-faced laughing craftsman', Xu Guanwen, who is also out of reach, and Liang Jiahui is even further away in the eyes of everyone.
However, when the audience in the screening hall saw Liang Jiahui's expression in the film. only to realize that even Chow Xingchi may not be able to interpret the actor more excitingly, while praising Liang Jiahui's superb acting skills. I was also amazed by Gu Chen's way of looking at people.
In contrast, Gong Li, who plays the heroine of the film, due to the relationship of the plot, although her acting skills have also been recognized, there is nothing too outstanding, and it can be said that the whole play revolves around the male protagonist and the strange mask that can make people gain great power.
Listening to the occasional laughter in the screening room, Gu Chen couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face, "Strange Masterpiece in Disguise" is not a nonsensical comedy of Zhou Xingchi, there is no way to be a joke from beginning to end, but compared with most of Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical comedies, this film has more connotation, is fuller in plot and character image, and has the potential to be remembered by the audience and become a classic.
He thought in his heart whether to tap Liang Jiahui's comedy talent more, Zhou Xingchi's domination of Hong Kong comedy seems to be too monotonous, but those nonsensical comedies that are funny for the sake of being funny are not suitable for Liang Jiahui, it is not easy to find a comedy suitable for Liang Jiahui to play, unlike Zhou Xingchi, who can act well if he finds someone to write a script, this skill is indeed unmatched.
When the film ended and the lights in the screening hall came on, Shao Yifu laughed: "Although people of my age are a little unaccustomed to watching this kind of movie, judging from the audience's reaction just now, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for the film to achieve the expected success." ”
Gu Chen smiled noncommittally, he had already watched the release version in advance before this, and he had already expected the success of the film, and today's screening was nothing more than a confirmation of his expectations: "Regarding this year's Hong Kong International Film Festival, I don't know what Uncle Sixth thinks?" ”
Shao Yifu was stunned for a moment, and immediately heard the deep meaning of Gu Chen's words: "Listen to Gu Sheng, it seems that you want to take over the Hong Kong International Film Festival?" ”
Gu Chen corrected: "It's not me who took over, it's the Film Association that takes over, the Hong Kong International Film Festival is a good platform to promote film exchanges between various countries and improve the status of Hong Kong films in the world, but in the past few years, the film festival has been very casual, and it has not realized its true meaning at all." ”
The United States has the Los Angeles Film Festival, France has the Cannes Film Festival, Germany has the Berlin Film Festival, and even Japan, where the film industry is far inferior to Hong Kong, has the Tokyo Film Festival, and Hong Kong is no exception, the first Hong Kong International Film Festival was held in 1977, the organizer is the City Council, and it has been held for 12 sessions so far, but due to the funding and the rules formulated by the film festival, both the scale and the influence cannot be compared with the Los Angeles Film Festival in Hollywood, and the positive effect on Hong Kong films is very limited.
In order for Hong Kong to become one of the world's most important film production centers, in addition to the requirements of excellent team, advanced technology and leading theories, an international film festival with sufficient scale and influence is indispensable, which can improve the international status of Hong Kong films from the subjective consciousness, just like the Oscars of Hollywood, an Oscar statuetin is almost every filmmaker's dream. Therefore, he wanted to take over the hosting rights of the festival from the municipal council, and then carry out a drastic reform of the festival.
Shao Yifu nodded approvingly, and said: "What you said is very reasonable, now that Hong Kong films are flourishing, we really need a film festival that matches Hong Kong films to consolidate and promote the achievements made, and the current film festival is a little worse." ”
"I have already expressed to the Council the idea of the Film Association taking over the hosting of the International Film Festival, and the Council has agreed in principle. After the Spring Festival, find a time for everyone to sit down and discuss how to reform, if you don't make some changes, it will be difficult to have good results. ”
Shao Yifu said with a smile: "That's how it should be, I am most relieved that Gu Sheng is doing things, you will notify me when the time is set." ”
At this time, the two had already walked to the aisle, and there were still some people in the aisle, Gu Chen clearly heard a reporter with a camera around his neck saying to his peers: "At the beginning, I thought that this drama would be smashed if it was replaced by Liang Jiahui, but I didn't expect Liang Jiahui to make a comedy It was also very good-looking, I didn't think it before, but now I really think that Liang Jiahui's face looks quite happy, maybe he will show to comedy in the future." ”
"It's hard to say, I don't think Liang Jiahui can act in a comedy like Chow Xingchi, let alone him, Hong Kong with Chow Xingchi's comedy talent may not be able to find a second one. However, his acting path is wider than Zhou Xingchi, and he has Chen Shao's support, so it is difficult to think about it. ”
"That's right, by the way, I recently got news from within the Tang Dynasty movie, Zhou Xingchi has been lifted, I heard that he took a film on the day the ban was lifted, it seems to be a comedy adapted from Jin Yong's novel, it seems that Lian Chen Shao has to affirm his comedy talent."
"Wouldn't it be that the ban was lifted so soon? I thought he was finished this time, but that's fine, I haven't watched his new film for a few months, I'm really a little unaccustomed to it, I hope his eyes can shine this time, don't mess with people who can't be messed with, and he's really unlucky. ”
"The more unlucky he is, isn't it better for us? Otherwise, if we don't talk about him, I still have to think about how to write the report when I go back. ”
……
Shao Yifu also heard the voices of the two reporters, both of whom said that people are old and spirits, and he naturally won't meddle in such things, so he just smiled faintly, as if he hadn't heard it, and then walked out of the movie theater with Gu Chen while chatting. After Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua left, Gu Chen glanced at Gong Li, who was standing at the door with Liang Jiahui and others to see off guests, and also left the cinema......
Seeing off all the guests, Liang Jiahui said with a smile: "I'm so happy today, let's go to Tan Jiaxuan for dinner at noon, I'll treat you." ”
Hearing that Liang Jiahui invited a guest to eat Tan Jiaxuan, everyone cheered, you must know that inviting more than a dozen people to Tan Jiaxuan for dinner can be regarded as very generous.
Liang Jiahui looked at Gong Li, who seemed to have something on her mind: "There shouldn't be a date, right?" ”
Gong Li smiled and said, "This is a collective action, and if you have a date, you have to push it off, do you want to call to make a reservation first, be careful that there is no place." ”
"Don't worry, I made it two days ago, and it's almost noon now, let's go." It seems that Liang Jiahui has already planned to treat him, whether he is sincere or sincere, whether he is trying to win people's hearts, in this circle like a dyed bucket, only if he knows how to be a person can he mix better.
