On December 28th, Lu Li's Huajing concert started smoothly, Liu Xiaowen and Liu Yuqian received VIP tickets from Lu Li, and they were present to watch the concert on the same day.

After the Huajing concert, Lu Li first went back to Huaqing to rest for two days, and then went to Xiangjiang with Meng Qi on the 31st. Mengqi didn't have to go to work on New Year's Day, so Lu Li called Mengqi to join him, and by the way, they could play in Xiangjiang together.

When Lu Li, Mengqi, and Zeng Keru arrived at Xiangjiang Airport, Wang Bin sent someone to pick up the three of them.

The car directly followed Lu Li and the three of them to the villa where Wang Bin lived, and Lu Li was no longer a stranger to here.

"Lu Li is here, welcome, welcome. This is Mengqi, right? It's really a talented woman. At the door of the villa, Wang Bin received the two of them and said with a smile: "Keru is fine." ”

"Thank you." Hearing Wang Bin's praise, Meng Qi thanked him.

"You're welcome, let's sit inside." Wang Bin cordially greeted a few people into the villa.

Lu Li only saw Wang Bin and Guo Wanzhu alone for the first time, and he didn't see it a few times later, it seems that the two of them have really done a good job of secrecy, if they didn't deliberately let themselves see it, I'm afraid they wouldn't know about it, no wonder the two have not been discovered for so many years.

"Mengqi is the first time to come to Xiangjiang, right? When the press conference is over, let Lu Li take you around to play. After sitting down in the villa, Wang Bin did not immediately talk about work, but started a family routine with a few people.

"Well, New Year's Day happens to be a holiday, but I have time to play." Meng Qi replied with a smile.

"Director Wang, what day is this press conference?" Lu Li asked. Wang Bin only told Lu Li that the press conference was on New Year's Day. But I didn't say exactly what day it was.

"The press conference is tomorrow, the preparations have been fully prepared, and we will just attend tomorrow. When the time comes, I will introduce a few actors to meet you. Wang Bin heard Lu Li's question and replied with a smile, when it came to the actor, he smiled at Lu Li meaningfully.

That night, Lu Li and the three of them stayed in Wang Bin's villa, waiting for the launch conference of "Infernal Affairs" the next day.

Early the next morning, Wang Bin woke up a few people. After eating breakfast. Two commercial vehicles picked up a few people and went to the hotel where the press conference was held.

When they arrived here, Wang Bin's assistant greeted him: "Director Wang, Liu Hua, they are already here." You're all set, and you're ready to go. After speaking, the assistant nodded to Lu Li and the others, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Okay. Let's go over now. "Hear the words of the assistant. Wang Bin said.

Wang Bin's assistant nodded, led a few people to the hotel's staff elevator, avoided the others and went upstairs, to a very large private room upstairs.

"Director Wang is here." When Wang Bin entered this room, the people inside all stood up and greeted Wang Bin, and they were very polite to Wang Bin.

Lu Li followed behind Wang Bin and saw clearly, the people in it are all important figures in the film industry, such as Liu Hua, Liang Wei, Huang Sheng, Zeng Wei, Zheng Wen, Chen Lin and others. are all actors, actresses, and actresses.

These people's attitude towards Wang Bin made Lu Li reacquaint himself with the status of Director Wang in the film industry.

"It's all here, you don't have to be polite. Let me introduce you to a friend. Wang Bin said with a smile, pointing to Lu Li and introducing: "This is Lu Li, and he is also the screenwriter of this movie, everyone knows each other." ”

Wang Bin, the script of "Infernal Affairs", has already shown these main actors, and these people also admire Lu Li's talent very much, and they all stood up to say hello and behaved more enthusiastically.

Especially Liu Hua, who admired Lu Li very much, made everyone else a little strange, and felt that Liu Hua was a little too enthusiastic. Even Lu Li felt a little unbearable, and he didn't know how Liu Hua was so enthusiastic about himself.

Of course, Wang Bin knows the reason, but he definitely can't say it at this time.

"Okay, everyone knows each other, let's go to the press conference now, and we can talk again after it's over." Seeing that Liu Hua was still pulling Lu Li to speak, Wang Bin interrupted.

"Okay." Everyone agreed, and under the leadership of Wang Bin's assistant, they took the elevator downstairs and went to the hotel lobby to attend the press conference. And Meng Qi and Zeng Keru also followed everyone to the hall, but they stayed backstage and did not go to the front.

At this moment, a stage has been set up in the hotel lobby, and the background is a photo, on which is the scene of Lu Li and Wang Bin shaking hands, symbolizing the cooperation between the two.

And in the photo, the three big characters of "Infernal Affairs" are very imposing. On the side, there is some information about the main creator, director Wang Bin, screenwriter Lu Li, starring Liu Hua and others are all on it.

In front of this background photo is a long table and a few chairs.

Wang Bin took Lu Li and the others to the stage, and each found their own seats and sat down.

When the reporters below saw the group appear, they were all excited, holding the camera "click" and shooting violently.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the launch conference of director Wang Bin's new film "Infernal Affairs". The host also appeared on the stage and began to host.

After a series of processes, it is time for reporters to ask questions.

"May I ask Director Wang, you haven't made a movie for almost two years, are you preparing for a new movie during this period of time?" The first reporter asked.

Wang Bin picked up the microphone on the table when he heard this: "I haven't made a movie for more than two years because I haven't found a good script." And now, with a satisfactory script, it is natural to start filming. ”

"Director Wang, did you take the initiative to find Lu Li and ask him to write a script?" Another reporter asked.

Wang Bin did not shy away from hearing this question: "Yes, I know that there were many rumors about my cooperation with Lu Li some time ago, and I just want to explain it today." After looking for two years and not finding a satisfactory script, I am also anxious, I am not young at this age, and I may not be able to shoot in another two years, so I am in a hurry. Later, I noticed Lu Li and thought that he was very talented and should be able to write a script that satisfied me, so I found Lu Li and asked him to write a script for me. And this movie will also be my last film, and after filming this movie, I am ready to retire to the behind-the-scenes personnel. ”

Wang Bin answered this question and released a big piece of information, even if Lu Li listened to it, his heart moved. He thought that Wang Bin would quit the entertainment industry and live an ordinary life. Now it seems that he wants to retreat behind the scenes, and he has to ask Wang Bin to see if it is possible to dig this great god to parting entertainment.

In fact, what Lu Li didn't know was that Wang Bin was really ready to quit the entertainment industry completely, but after seeing that Liu Hua might choose to leave entertainment, he changed his mind, and he suddenly felt that it would be good if he could go to Farewell Entertainment to serve behind the scenes.

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Bin's words came out, the reporters below were in an uproar. Wang Bin is relatively old, but it is completely impossible to say that he has no energy to make movies. Now several well-known directors in the Chinese entertainment industry are all elderly figures, and some are even much older than Wang Bin, why did Wang Bin suddenly say that he was going to retreat into the background?

"Director Wang, as far as I know, your energy is still very good now, and it can be said that you are in the golden period of your director's career, how could you choose to retreat behind the scenes at this time?" After a period of uproar, a reporter immediately asked.

Wang Bin was silent for a while when he heard this, and then he thought about it and said: "I've been a little tired over the years, and I want to start living my own life." Wang Bin's words are not only talking about him, but also about Guo Wanzhu.

The reporters below were stunned when they heard this, and even several actors and actresses on the stage were very silent when they heard this. In fact, many times they look very beautiful, but they are rarely able to live their own lives.

Since Wang Bin said so, the following reporters are no longer able to dwell on this issue, but it seems that the Chinese film industry is going to have one less powerful director.

After Wang Bin said this, he added with a smile: "The future world belongs to young people, for example, Lu Li is very good, and I believe that the Chinese entertainment industry will get better and better in the future." ”

"Director Wang, can you explain the meaning of Infernal Affairs?" After listening to Wang Bin's words, a reporter soon asked another question.

"This question should be left to screenwriter Lu Li to explain, he has the most right to speak." Wang Bin pushed the problem to Lu Li. This is also why Wang Bin has been asking questions to himself since the beginning of the press conference, and the others are a little cold.

Lu Li didn't shirk either, explaining: "Infernal is actually a term in Buddhism, and it may be more familiar to everyone if it is renamed Ah Bi, which is the eighth of the eight hot hells and the most bitter place." This film is based on this allegory, exploring something. ”

Lu Li's explanation is a bit vague, mainly because if it is explained again, it will involve some of the content of the movie, Wang Bin did not let these things be revealed, and Lu Li naturally would not disclose them to the outside world.

Sure enough, after listening to Lu Li's answer, the reporter below asked, "What exactly are you looking for?" ”

"This is going to be experienced by everyone after the movie is released." Lu Li said with a smile, selling Guanzi, which is also something that many movies often do when they start filming.

Seeing that Lu Li's tone was tight, the reporters knew that they couldn't ask anything here, and they turned their targets to other people one after another.

"Liu Hua, it is rumored that you have already taken another film, but then gave up the film that you had already taken over and participated in "Infernal Affairs", is there such a thing?" The journalist asked.

Liu Hua did not deny it when he heard this: "Yes, I did take a film before, but after Director Wang found me, he showed me the script of "Infernal Affairs", and I decided to shoot this movie. Liu Hua's answer can also attract attention to "Infernal Affairs".

After all, Liu Hua is an actor-level figure, and if he gives up another movie for this movie, it will invisibly make people feel that "Infernal Affairs" must have its uniqueness, otherwise how can Liu Hua make such a choice. (To be continued......)
