The next morning, the press conference of "The King of Kung Fu" was held in the open air in front of the Four Seas Guiyi Hall of the Qin Palace. However, the sky was not beautiful, and it was drizzling at this time, which was disappointing. Fortunately, the seats of the main creators of the crew are arranged under the eaves in front of the palace, and they are not afraid of being invaded by the rain, but the reporters who came to interview were unlucky, they had no eaves to cover the rain, so they could only find rain gear to prevent the rain, which also brought a lot of inconvenience to the interview work.

But regardless of whether it is convenient or not, the press conference will still be carried out. As soon as the time came, the main creators came on the stage, first took a group photo together, and then sat down, from left to right, in turn the photographer Bao Dexi, Zhang Chengyuan, director Rob Minkoff, Liu Yifei, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Li Binbin, actor Michael Angrano, producer Kathy Silver, and Wang Zhonglei, the representative of Huayi's Chinese partner of this film, a total of ten people, sat in a row. Except for Liu Yifei and Li Binbin, the other eight all wore the One Foundation T-shirts presented by Li Lianjie last night.

For the media at the scene, Zhang Chengyuan may be the person they are least familiar with, because most of the media at the scene are Chinese, and there are occasionally a few Western media, but there are no Korean media, and perhaps there are not even many reporters who know him. Therefore, basically no one pays attention to Zhang Chengyuan.

However, this is fine, without the attention of the camera, Zhang Chengyuan feels more relaxed. When the press conference began, Zhang Chengyuan either was too imaginary, or he looked at the entire Qin Palace from a distance, such a magnificent and simple building as the Qin Palace, even he could not witness it in his previous life, because before the Song Dynasty, the Qin Palace had already disappeared in the long river of history for thousands of years, how could Zhang Chengyuan, a person from the early Song Dynasty, see it?

At this time, at first sight, I felt magnificent and domineering. Compared to this, Gyeongbokgung Palace in South Korea is really not worth mentioning.

At this press conference, Wang Zhonglei spoke first, followed by Keith Xiao Fan. This may be because Wang Zhonglei is a representative of Chinese investors and a "local snake", while producer Kathy Sylvao is a representative of American investors and has invested more, but after all, he is a guest from afar, and it is difficult for a strong dragon to take the lead if he does not suppress the local snake.

Wang Zhonglei said a few words briefly, his demeanor was calm and modest, his speech was smooth and decent, almost without thinking, obviously he was used to seeing this kind of scene, and he could already deal with it easily.

And Casey Sylvo, a tall and thin old man, who doesn't know whether he needs a translator because of the language barrier or because he rarely deals with the Chinese media, looks a little shy, speaks very slowly, and does not look like a person with status at all, you must know that he is the chairman and CEO of Universal Pictures, one of the eight major Hollywood studios.

Compared with Wang Zhonglei, Zhang Chengyuan has a better impression of Casey Silver, because Wang Zhonglei did not mention him at all, but Keith Xiao Fan said his name, although it was just a casual remark, but it made Zhang Chengyuan feel more comfortable.

After the two investor representatives finished speaking, several of the main creators present began to speak one by one. The first one to speak was the photographer Bao Dexi, he said very concisely, only said a few words, and then stopped talking, perhaps he felt that the current reporters are waiting for Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, the two international kung fu superstars, to speak, and few people want to listen to his nonsense, so he won't talk more.

Compared with him, Zhang Chengyuan is more knowledgeable, and only said two sentences from beginning to end, he said: "I am very happy to work with Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, as well as so many excellent actors and staff, I feel very honored!" In this film, I will definitely do my best to play my role! With that, he bowed and thanked him, and then sat back in his seat, pretending to be listening to the others, but in fact he was in a daze again.

By the time he came to his senses, everyone else had already finished speaking, and the press conference had already reached the second half of the press conference, entering the stage of personal interviews. There are not many media willing to interview Zhang Chengyuan, only Xinlang Entertainment, and Xinlang Entertainment did not come to interview Zhang Chengyuan on purpose, but interviewed all the main creators one by one, and only Zhang Chengyuan was left in the end, perhaps because he felt that he should start and finish well, so he interviewed Zhang Chengyuan.

Zhang Chengyuan is not angry when he receives this kind of treatment, he knows that he does not have much news value in the eyes of China's mainstream media, and if it is a news media that reports on Korean entertainment, he will have more weight. Moreover, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are both superstars, and it is normal for no one to pay attention to him. At that moment, he calmly accepted an interview with a Xinlang Entertainment reporter. A young journalist who looks like a fledgling. Mr. Chang guessed that the veteran reporters might have been too busy interviewing others to bother him, so he let the young reporter interview him.

The reporter greeted Zhang Chengyuan in English, and when he was about to ask, Zhang Chengyuan said in Chinese: "Speak Chinese to me, I understand!" "The words are round and round, which is much more standard than most Chinese.

The reporter was taken aback, praised Zhang Chengyuan a few words, and then asked: "Mr. Zhang, you are a Korean actor, why did you come here to film?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan felt that the young reporter was asking interestingly, and couldn't help but smile and said: "The crew came to Hengdian to film, and as a member of the crew, I naturally want to follow!" ”

The reporter hurriedly corrected: "Oh, I said something wrong, I'm sorry!" I'd like to ask how you got into this crew and got the role you are in now? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said lightly: "Last year, I was fortunate to shoot "Rush Hour 3" with Brother Cheng Long, and I performed well, and was appreciated by Brother Cheng Long, so he recommended me to participate in the audition for "The King of Kung Fu", and after the audition, I got the role. ”

The reporter said: "I heard that there was also a Chinese actor Zou Zhaolong who participated in the audition at that time, which is said to have been recommended by Li Lianjie, how did you defeat Zou Zhaolong, is it because of Cheng Long's recommendation?" ”

This young reporter spoke very directly, and the implication was that he could play this role only because of Cheng Long's recommendation, and in addition, there was a deeper meaning: Cheng Long's recommendation was better than Li Lianjie's recommendation. In other words, Cheng Long has more energy than Li Lianjie.

Zhang Chengyuan heard this meaning, but he pretended not to know, and avoided answering: "I don't know what you said, when I went to audition, I was the only one, and as soon as the audition ended, the director told me that I passed, as for whether there are other audition actors, whether Brother Li Lianjie has recommended others, you should ask the director and Brother Li Lianjie, ask me and I can't get an answer." ”

The reporter said: "Then what do you think the director liked about you to let you play this role?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan groaned: "First of all, I think my image is good, you don't deny this, right?" ”

The reporter immediately nodded, if Zhang Chengyuan's appearance is not good, then there are few men in the world who are handsome.

Zhang Chengyuan continued: "Secondly, it's still my image, I think it's very suitable for the role I play now, the god of war in Yujiang, well, the god of war in Yujiang is the marshal in the heavenly court, the image is very powerful and domineering, and I am tall enough, and my figure is also very strong and strong, which is relatively rare among Asian actors, and playing this role, relatively speaking, is more suitable than other actors." Of course, the right image is only one of the reasons, the key is to have excellent acting skills and skills. Fortunately, I am no worse than others in these two aspects! ”

The reporter asked: "You think your acting skills and skills are excellent, so can you tell me how good you are?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said lightly: "Your question is very inappropriate, I won't answer it, because I don't know how to answer it properly." And if you had known a little bit about me, you wouldn't have doubted what I just said, and you wouldn't have asked me that question! ”

Although Zhang Chengyuan didn't say a word of reprimand, he was not angry and arrogant, and the little reporter couldn't help but be a little scared, thinking: "This Korean actor may really be suitable for playing a role like Marshal of the Heavenly Court, and when he glanced at it, I panicked." Hurriedly apologized: "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, after I go back, I will definitely check your information on the Internet in detail." ”

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty!" You don't have to panic, keep asking, right? ”

The reporter said: "Then I take the liberty of asking, how do your skills compare with the two big brothers Cheng Long and Li Lianjie?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "It's hard to say, I haven't really competed with Brother Cheng Long and Brother Li Lianjie, how can I know the Dao?" If it's just speculation, it can't be taken seriously! I can only tell you that in this movie, I lost the last and lost to the Monkey King played by Li Lianjie's eldest brother. As for Brother Cheng Long, we have no rivalry this time, if you want to know about Lu Dao's tricks with him, you can go to watch "Peak 3" released in August this year"

"So can you tell me who is the king of kung fu in this movie?" This question, at this time, it is estimated that many media reporters and audiences want to know about the Tao, but although the Chinese name of this movie is called "The King of Kung Fu", it is just a gimmick, and it does not say who is the king of Kung Fu at all, but only talks about some concepts about kung fu, which makes Zhang Chengyuan answer? Can't answer at all! And Zhang Chengyuan didn't dare to say that there was no king of kung fu, because the crew asked not to disclose information about this.

So Zhang Chengyuan excused: "I've said enough about the plot information, I can't say it anymore!" If you have any other questions you'd like to ask, I'll be happy to answer them, and if not, that's the end of the visit! ”

After that, the reporter asked some questions that had nothing to do with the theme of the press conference, such as his impression of China, whether he liked Chinese food, his perception of Hengdian, etc., Zhang Chengyuan patiently answered, and said a lot of good things from the bottom of his heart, so that the reporter had a lot of good feelings for Zhang Chengyuan. Zhang Chengyuan happened to be fine, so he chatted with him.

Soon after, the press conference ended, Zhang Chengyuan said goodbye to the reporter, and then followed the crew to leave quickly from the safe passage arranged in advance, as for the little reporter he just met, he immediately forgot about it, because he felt that the chance for the two to meet again in the future was only very slim, since this is the case, so why bother to remember it?
