Chapter 217: Press Conference (1)
The press conference of the film was arranged to be held at the headquarters of 'Tianchen Entertainment' (Hong Kong), because the main purpose of this press conference was to announce the male and female protagonists of the film and the shooting team, and the other was the introduction and investment process of the film, so I did not choose to hold a luxurious meeting in the hotel.
As the press conference was not luxurious, the reporters who came were also screened, so the number of people was not too large. However, over the years, the films invested by 'Tianchen Entertainment' (Hong Kong) have been sold well, and they have always been a vane of Hong Kong films. The decline of the Shaw Brothers, the disintegration of the New Arts City, the end of Debao, and the decline of Golden Harvest have caused the collapse of Hong Kong films. Fortunately, 'Tianchen Entertainment' has always insisted on making its own films, which belong to Hong Kong, and has cooperated with other Asian countries to co-produce various types of films, and vigorously promote Hong Kong films, which has enabled Hong Kong films to survive among the strong.
Therefore, every time the film of 'Tianchen Entertainment' (Hong Kong) is filmed, it will inevitably attract many reporters to follow. Even if he didn't receive an invitation this time, the reporter was not invited. Originally, only twenty or thirty seats were arranged, but when all the reporters entered, they found that there were more than 100 reporters, and these reporters didn't mind standing like this at all, as long as the 'Tianchen Entertainment' side didn't rush people.
Feng Zixi came to the headquarters of 'Tianchen Entertainment' (Hong Kong) at lunchtime, and his appearance immediately attracted a group of employees working in the company. Because the person who accompanied him in was Tony Leung, the top star of 'Tianchen Entertainment' (Hong Kong). The two are very close, and people can't help but take a few more glances at the people around Tony Leung. But just like this, the staff found that the handsome young man next to Tony Leung was not his assistant, but a person with a familiar face, but couldn't call out his name all of a sudden.
After Tony Leung and Feng Zixi entered the elevator, these staff members came to their senses. After all, all the people here are people who are engaged in the entertainment industry, and it was only because Feng Zixi appeared too abruptly that they didn't have time to react. Now that they have come to their senses, some of the staff, especially the female staff, have begun to scream.
"It's Zixi, it's Korean star Zihee. Ah......, I finally met the real person, so handsome, so handsome. No, I'm going to go to him and ask for an autograph. ”
"What Korean star, Zixi became famous as a child star in Hong Kong, didn't he still have the title of 'Kung Fu Kid' before?"
"But now Zixi is famous again in South Korea, and he now has a lot of fans all over Asia."
"I said you can't be quieter? Don't you think it's strange? Why will Zixi appear in Hong Kong? Why is there no news coming out, not only in South Korea, but even in Hong Kong, there is no sound? ”
A series of questions made these already excited employees look at the elevator that had been closed. They all wanted to go into the elevator, and then go to the floor they had just ascended to, and find Tony Leung and Feng Zixi to ask what was going on.
A staff member with a relatively high position who may have received a little news said: "I heard that the company is going to start filming a new movie recently, which seems to be starring Tony Leung and Shu Qi." Didn't Shu Qi and her agent already come in the morning? Now Tony Leung is also here, and Zixi is with him, do you think Zixi will participate in this new film? ”
"I think it's so possible, after all, with Zixi's fame, there is a great possibility of returning to Hong Kong to film."
Not to mention the arguing staff below, some staff members who are familiar with the reporters of such and such a newspaper, or such and such a weekly, or such and such a tabloid, all broke the news to these media by going to the bathroom or other reasons.
In fact, these leaks of company secrets will not be tolerated, but in many cases, the company's management will turn a blind eye and will not issue gag orders unless it involves very confidential company information. And the previous Shu Qi, as well as Tony Leung and Zixi who had just entered, were all in and out so openly, so the company did it on purpose, and the news would be announced soon, which made some employees dare to spread the news.
Where is the best paparazzi in all of Asia? I would like to say --- Hong Kong. I think about this, many artists who have been to Hong Kong, especially those who have become famous and attracted attention, every move in Hong Kong. I went to that restaurant, what I ate, what I went shopping, who I met and what I said during this period, I am afraid that I can't escape the eyes of the Hong Kong paparazzi.
Zixi appeared in Hong Kong and appeared at the headquarters of 'Tianchen Entertainment' (Hong Kong), but there was no media knowledge, and no paparazzi knew about it, which simply insulted the authority of the Hong Kong paparazzi. In less than 10 minutes, the news had already spread throughout Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories. On the Internet, it has even spread to the mainland and Taiwan.
Whether it is the paparazzi or the reporters who received the invitation of 'Tianchen Entertainment', if you think of the press conference to be held this afternoon, it must be related to Zixi, and even the K-pop star Zixi has joined the crew to work with Cannes actor Tony Leung and sexy beauty Shu Qi. This news caused these reporters to pick up their own eating tools as if they had eaten hormones, and ran out of the newspaper office like crazy, and flocked to the headquarters of the 'Tianchen Entertainment' (Hong Kong) company.
"Hey! Have you heard? Zixi seems to have really come to Hong Kong. I received news that a few days ago at the airport, a convoy of the Feng family appeared, as if it was going to the airport to pick up people. I think Zixi has already returned to Hong Kong at that time, I don't know what he has done in Hong Kong these days, why did he suddenly join the new film crew? ”
"What's so strange about that? The entire 'Tianchen Entertainment' belongs to his family, Tony Leung has such a good relationship with the Feng family, even if he intends to pick up Zixi, I don't think Tony Leung will mind doing this. ”
"Che, you're still an entertainment reporter? Although Tony Leung's status in the Asian film industry is higher than that of Zixi, in terms of popularity, Zixi is no worse than Tony Leung. Especially in South Korea, Japan, Thailand and other countries in Southeast Asia, Zixi's fanclub once claimed that it has more than one million registered fans, and this alone proves that Zixi has enough strength and is not relying on boasting. The box office and ratings of the movie "My Savage Female Teacher" and the TV series "Stairway to Heaven" he starred in, don't they still tell the story? ”
That's right, Zixi is the hottest star in South Korea, close to Zhang Dongjian, Won Bin and Song Seung-heon. If Hong Kong has superstars such as Chow Yun-fat, Tony Leung and Jackie Chan, then the name of Zixi is included in the ranks of Korean superstars. ”
The reporter is discussing below, in an office, directors Ma Chucheng, Tony Leung, Shu Qi, Feng Zixi, as well as Huang Baiming, managing director of 'Tianchen Entertainment' (Hong Kong) Company, and producer Zeng Zhiwei and others, are also talking and laughing, chatting very happily.
"Zixi! Are you all set? How famous the paparazzi are in Hong Kong, I don't think you're too unfamiliar with them, right? Huang Baiming reminded gently. He has been in charge of 'Tianchen Entertainment' (Hong Kong) for many years, although the business is not thriving, but to be able to ensure that it is not lost in such a difficult period, it is not easy to come by, so it has been supported by all shareholders, including Feng Yifeng, and has been sitting firmly in the position of general manager for 20 years, and in the past few years, he was able to successfully enter the board of directors of the Taiwan headquarters of 'Tianchen Entertainment', and officially became the core director of the entire 'Tianchen Entertainment' kingdom.
"Don't worry, I know how to deal with reporters. But I'm just a supporting role, and Uncle Liang and Sister Shu Qi are the target figures for which reporters. ”
"I said you kid, how do you call me uncle, call Shu Qi sister, am I really that old?" Tony Leung is usually relatively silent and melancholy, but he didn't expect to catch such a small mistake and make a joke this time, which is rare.
Feng Zixi shrugged, spread his palms, and said, "If you don't mind being a generation lower than my parents and Aunt Meiling, I can call you brother!" ”
"That's okay, if you call my brother about it, after Ah Weng and Jialing know about it, it will be funny again." Tony Leung shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Uncle Huang, didn't you say that there are several Korean actors participating in this time? Why didn't they show up this time? Back to business, Feng Zixi still wants to understand clearly.
"No, the important supporting actor Hannah Zhao is also here, and she is rushing over here. As for the other Korean actors, when the crew moves to South Korea for filming, they will join the crew, and there will be a press conference in South Korea to introduce them. Huang Baiming briefly introduced the Korean artists who participated in the show, although Feng Zixi didn't know all of them, but he had heard the names of several of them.
For example, Choi Ru-jin, Kim so-hyun, Cho so-hyun and Lee Ji-hyung, although they are not well-known in South Korea, are either newcomers or mostly play some small roles that are not very good. But Feng Zixi, who has been mixed in the three major TV stations and has also been in contact with Korean movies, although he doesn't know these people and hasn't even said a word, at least he has heard their names.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm late. Zhao Hanna, who rushed over just after getting off the plane, rushed in with sweat, and when she saw that everyone was waiting for her, she immediately bowed down and apologized in pure Mandarin. This kind of late behavior, especially having the company's president, film director, and seniors wait, is not tolerated, and even if it is because of this, it is possible to change roles.
Fortunately, this is not South Korea, Huang Baiming and Ma Chucheng are not people who follow the plan, and they clearly know that Zhao Hannah is late because of traffic jams, and they are not overly blamed, but they just let her take a break, and ask the makeup artist to touch up her makeup, and prepare for the upcoming press conference.
"Hello Zixi senior! I'm Hannah Zhao! Under the guidance of the agent, Hannah Zhao met everyone including Tony Leung and Shu Qi, and when Zixi was introduced, needless to say, Hannah Zhao bowed down and said hello: "I am really lucky to be able to cooperate with Zixi's predecessors, please give me more advice!" ”
"You're welcome, this is not Korea, so you don't have to be too formal. I've read your profile, and you're still older than me, so it's better for us to use plain language. Feng Zixi is really depressed, whether it is his wife or the actors he has worked with, most of them are older than him. Now there are more contacts, but there are younger than him in his descendants, and there are only 'TVXQ' and Kim Taeyeon's group of trainees.
