Chapter 136: Top 100 Album Arrangement
"When will "New Love" officially start filming?"
Chen Qiming didn't stay at Er Dongsheng's house for long, and after confirming that Zhu Yin could not act, after chatting with Er Dongsheng and Qin Pei for a while, he took the initiative to get up and say goodbye.
However, before leaving, he asked about the specific start time of the film.
"On the eleventh, we can start filming on the eleventh!" Er Dongsheng, who sent Chen Qiming out, said.
Hearing this, Chen Qiming nodded and said: "It's best to shoot early, I'm going to Japan at the end of October to promote the record, and I can't delay it again and again." β
β¦β¦
Compared with Chen Qiming's last "New Meteor Butterfly Sword", the movie "Green Snake" has undoubtedly attracted more attention.
As the pioneer of the new school of martial arts and the director of many popular movie IPs, Tsui Hark's movies have attracted a lot of attention from the past.
In addition, Wang Zuxian and Maggie Cheung are two beauties to help, as well as Chen Qiming, the popular king of the music scene this year.
Before the opening ceremony of the second day officially began, a large number of reporters rushed to the scene.
In addition to Hong Kong reporters, many reporters from Baodao even came.
The twenty and thirty reporters were all mixed together, and the click of the camera to take pictures kept ringing.
After today's start-up ceremony, the crew will immediately enter the filming stage.
Therefore, Siyuan Pictures placed the venue of the start-up ceremony at the Shaw Brothers Film and Television Base.
Turn on and worship God!
This custom is the same as in the crew of "Green Snake", and the scale is even larger.
I don't know if it's because I think that the more I worship, the more blessings the crew will receive, or if it's some other reason.
The worship of the crew of "Green Snake" is a luxury compared to the crew that Chen Qiming has experienced before.
In addition to the commonly used offerings of melons, fruits and vegetables, the crew even made two roast pigs to be placed in front of Guan Gong and the camera covered with red cloth.
However, although the scene is large, the process is still those processes, reciting the verses, and worshipping......
After worshipping God, the assistant director began to arrange the staff to arrange the venue, and Chen Qiming and several leading actors followed director Tsui Hark to the reporter for an interview.
"That's Chen Qiming?"
"I'll go, why did Chen Qiming become like this? Where did that hipster Chen Qiming go? β
"However, this Chen Qiming is really handsome, and he is so attractive when he is cut into a bald head!"
As soon as Chen Qiming and his entourage approached, the reporters who saw the costumes of everyone immediately began to discuss.
Of course, as a journalist, filming must not stop.
only heard the sound of clicking, and Chen Qiming and Maggie Cheung and other leading actors were filmed into the camera by reporters.
"Ming Tsai, can you tell me about your outfit?"
"Ming Zai, are you playing Fahai? However, with the pearl and jade of Qiandemen in front, can you be sure that the image of Ling can be accepted by the audience? β
"Ming Zai, the voting for the top ten idols of Baodao Minsheng Daily has begun, and you are currently equal to Andy Lau in terms of votes, do you think you can get the first vote?"
"Ah Ming, Tao Xiaoqing and Ma Shiming's selection of the top 100 albums on Treasure Island has ended, and your "Fairy Tale" and "Too Soft Heart" are ranked 47th and 16th respectively, do you want to say anything about this selection?"
"Ming Zai, Yang Junjun of Yinyong Pictures said in an interview with the media that he has bid 3 million Hong Kong dollars to ask you to star in "Chu Liuxiang's Later Story: Ximen No Hate" produced by Yinyong Pictures, it is reported that Yang Junjun will play the role of Ximen No Hate in the play, if you play Chu Liuxiang, you may play a couple with Ms. Yang Junjun, but there is a huge age difference between the two of you, are you willing to stage a forbidden love with her across ages?"
When everyone in the crew came to the reporters, all the reporters immediately rushed up and rushed to Chen Qiming's side.
There are few people left around Wang Zuxian and Maggie Cheung in the same place.
Even, Wu Xingguo, who had just come to the crew, was not a reporter by his side, which made him embarrassed for a while, and he could only look at Chen Qiming over there with envy.
"Sister Bihua, you saw it! That's why I chose Chen Qiming.
In addition to the image, his own popularity and popularity will definitely be an important box office guarantee for our film. β
There was no reporter in front of him, and Tsui Hark was not angry at all, but turned back to Li Bihua with a happy face and said so.
Li Bihua glanced at the reporter who blocked Chen Qiming in the middle, even if he had some opinions about Chen Qiming, he had to admit at this time that Chen Qiming really lived up to his reputation.
No wonder her daughter is crazy about chasing stars Chen Qiming every day.
He's got something.
"Everyone, please don't squeeze, we will answer one question at a time."
Faced with the encirclement of many reporters, Chen Qiming was a little hurried, pushed away a microphone that was slapped in his face, and said loudly.
After reassuring the reporters a little, he began to answer their questions.
"Regarding whether the Fahai I play can be compared with the predecessors of Qiandemen, I think everyone thinks badly, although our "Green Snake" is also born from "The Legend of the White Snake", but this is completely filmed from a different perspective.
Our part, you can see by looking at the name, this is filmed from the perspective of the green snake.
With different perspectives, the development of the story will have different directions, so I am a completely different character from Fahai of Qiandemen's predecessors......"
Qiandemen is the actor who plays the Fahai in "The Legend of the New White Lady".
Since the launch of "The Legend of the New White Lady" last year, it has been broadcast in more than a dozen countries in Asia, and it can be said that the images of the White Lady and Xu Xian and even most of the characters in the play have been solidified in the minds of the audience.
In such a situation, it is not a very desirable thing to shoot the green snake again.
But since he has acted, he must not be timid.
Therefore, Chen Qiming can only explain from another direction.
"As for the top ten idols, I haven't paid attention to them recently, you know, I just came back from Japan, and then I came to film non-stop.
I'll talk to you when I get to know the details. β
In fact, Chen Qiming pays attention to the top ten idols.
Since the success of last year's Top 10 Idols, this year, the influence of this award has become more and more significant.
It has almost become the most popular award in Chinese-speaking regions such as Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Compared with last year, this year's top ten idols are more golden.
Almost all of them are selected, which means that the Chinese-speaking region has a good popularity.
Even, it is not an exaggeration to say that the people who were selected as the top ten idols are the most appealing existence in the Chinese record market in the Chinese music scene.
And for Chen Qiming, with his popularity, he must be 100% selected.
What he cares about now is whether he can overthrow Andy Lau this year and become the first vote among the top ten idols.
And speaking of this, Chen Qiming was very helpless.
He thought that with "Too Soft Heart", he should be able to easily surpass Andy Lau and become the first voter this year.
But the truth slapped him in the face.
The polls began two weeks ago.
In two weeks, he didn't catch up with Andy Lau.
Although the gap between the two sides is very small, he has not caught up if he has not caught up, and he is still the second.
It made him reluctant to talk about it.
However, whether it should be said or not, Andy Lau is simply more open than him, his popularity is as stable as an old cow, not declining, and has been rising steadily.
"As for the movie invitation that this friend said, I'm sorry, I don't know about this, maybe my agency didn't inform me! I'll ask when I have time. β
Regarding Yang Junjun, this is actually a question that Chen Qiming doesn't want to raise.
Because this problem is no longer a problem, but a problem for him.
Who is Yang Junjun?
He is a wealthy merchant on Treasure Island, and his family has a lot of money.
In the seventies and eighties, Jin Yong and Gu Long were very popular in the film and television industry, and many people adapted them.
Because Yang Junjun is a good friend of Gu Long, he also spent money to buy the film and television rights of several Gu Long, such as Chu Liuxiang.
After having the copyright, it is natural to make movies and TV series.
Yang Junjun is no exception.
Because I have money, I like handsome guys.
Therefore, she simply went down and became an actress herself.
In many TV series and movies she has produced.
She went into battle in person, served as the heroine, and had a vigorous love affair with the male protagonist in the play.
No, because Chen Qiming is too hot and handsome.
Then he was naturally targeted by Yang Junjun.
Since last year, she has made a total of seven offers to Fulong.
and personally came to the door several times, just to have dinner with Chen Qiming.
Fortunately, every time she comes to the door, it is basically Chen Qiming's busy period.
Therefore, Fulong did not agree to her invitation.
Originally, they all went to Hong Kong to make movies.
Chen Qiming thought he had gotten rid of her.
Unexpectedly, this woman is really rich.
She actually set up a film and television company in Hong Kong, well, this is the above-mentioned company.
Then he handed Chen Qiming the script.
In short, Chen Qiming was about to be tortured by her and went crazy.
He has never seen such a woman who can throw money and persevere.
"So Chen Qiming, do you have any views on the selection of the top 100 albums of Treasure Island?
Don't you think that with the record-breaking sales of your two records, you shouldn't just be in the current position? β
A reporter saw that Chen Qiming did not answer about the top 100 albums, so he immediately asked.
"I don't have much of an opinion on that, although record sales are the closest way to gauge the quality of a record.
But it's not the only way.
I have watched the list of top 100 albums, and the first is Mr. Luo Dayou's "Zhihu Ye", and the second is "Taking the Wrong Car".
These albums may not sell as well as my two albums, but these two albums, along with all the albums in the top 10, have brought a lot of change to the Chinese music scene.
At this point, I can't beat them! β
After a little silence, Chen Qiming spoke.
What he said was not a lie, but a sincere thought.
Tao Xiaoqing's list selected by dozens of music practitioners may not be too accurate.
But this list is indeed recognized by many people.
Luo Dayou's "Zhihu Ye", it is this album that has led Baodao pop music and even the entire Chinese music scene to an unprecedented trend of criticism and reflection.
The second "Taking the Wrong Car", which tells the story he wants to tell, uses music to create the picture he wants to create, and the last and most important step is to find the voice, the voice that will sing his heart, his feelings, and his story - Su Rui's voice.
And this voice, through the long river of years, has been flowing to the present.
If you add the movie "The Wrong Car" and listen to this album again, it will make people feel the kind of voice in this album even more.
In addition to these two albums, each of the top 10 albums has more or less good influence and status in the Chinese music scene.
For example, "Nothing", which ranked seventh.
This album is Cui Jian's important album to set off the mainland rock craze.
It is this album that will make mainland rock enter a period of savage growth.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is definitely an important milestone in the history of Chinese music.
Of course, I don't know if it's the pinnacle.
"But there are also people who think that your albums "Too Soft Heart" and "Fairy Tale" should have a higher status.
As far as we know, since the second half of this year, there have been a number of R&B singers who have been influenced by your albums. β
Some reporters complained about Chen Qiming.
Hearing this, Chen Qiming smiled, "If I can really bring a new declension, then why not leave it to history to judge?"
If the period from 1965 to this year is planned as one period, will there be another period later?
Maybe ten years from now, someone will rearrange the album, or choose the album from 1993 to a later period!
When the time comes, if I do reach that height, I think they won't be stingy to put me in the forefront! β
After answering this question, Chen Qiming glanced at Tsui Hark over there and said, "I've said enough about my own problems, let's talk about "Green Snake"!"
If you look at the poster, I'm the first in the cast, and this is my first lead role. β
In fact, it is not forbidden for actors to talk about themselves during the opening ceremony.
Producers in Hong Kong believe that the actors themselves can bring more attention to their productions.
Therefore, they never allow the actor to talk about other topics at the press conference.
Even, to a certain extent, they really like you to talk about more breaking news, which can bring more attention to the movie.
However, Chen Qiming thinks that it is better not to talk too much about private matters.
He prefers to attribute cinema to cinema and music to music.
Well, it's just that when it's time to talk about movies, only talk about movies, and don't talk too much about movies when it's time to talk about records.
Next, Chen Qiming chatted with reporters about the movie for a while.
During this period, a reporter finally went to interview Wu Xingguo, Tsui Hark and others.
Even, a reporter directly asked a question that made Tsui Hark a little embarrassed.
"Director Xu, why did you think of inviting Chen Qiming to play Fahai!
Are you ...... because of his popularity?"
To be honest, this question really made Tsui Hark blush a little.
He invited him because of Chen Qiminghong.
However, Tsui Hark is also an old fritter, and finally fooled the past on the grounds that Chen Qiming is suitable for this role.
After the reporter interviewed, Tsui Hark had no reporter leave, but arrested them and asked them to help make cameos and other scenes to be filmed.
There are two scenes today.
Both scenes are Chen Qiming's scenes.
The first scene was filmed in Fahai's first appearance.
According to Tsui Hark, this scene is to reflect the stubbornness in the heart of the character of Fahai.
And this will also be the scene that needs to use the most extras in the whole play.
The crew found dozens of extras, plus more than a dozen reporters who were arrested, a total of nearly 100 people.
Everyone changed into ensemble costumes, put on ugly human skin masks, and gathered on the location where the filming was taken.
Tsui Hark began to lecture to group performers and reporters who didn't know how to act.
And Chen Qiming changed into the white monk's robe, holding Buddhist beads in one hand and performing Buddhist salutes with one hand in the other, scanning all the group performances in front of the camera.
To be honest, as soon as the filming of the first scene started, Chen Qiming understood why there was not much information about this movie in his dreams.
Tsui Hark, this guy is really restless.
What he wants to express in this film is too profound.
It's like this one in front of you.
In fact, in the setting of the script, these group performances in front of them are not actually demons and monsters, but people, real people.
However, because Tsui Hark wanted to show the ugliness of people's hearts, he asked everyone to wear ugly masks to show their ugliness.
Of course, the ugliness of these people here is actually seen from the perspective of Chen Qiming's Fahai.
Fahai's mana is powerful and can see through people's hearts, and the ugly appearance of these people is seen in his heart.
βactionοΌβ
With Tsui Hark's order, the huge crew immediately got up and running.
The camera first swept over the demons-like people.
According to Tsui Hark's explanation, the group performers are doing one thing over and over again like crazy people and unintelligent walking corpses.
Then, when a piece of silver flies, all the ugly people immediately rush together and start grabbing and attacking each other.
Cameras in orbit glide over the ensembles, filming their movements on film.
Among them, of course, there are also group performances that are unqualified.
Chen Qiming saw a reporter who had interviewed him before looking around, completely unsure of what to do.
Chen Qiming believes that Tsui Hark also saw that the reporter's surface is unqualified.
But Tsui Hark didn't call a stop.
In a scene, especially in the current scene of up to 100 people, what one person does cannot affect the operation of the entire crew at all.
If you are not qualified, it's a big deal to cut your play, I really think that the crew will stop because of your tricks, that would be too high to think of yourself.
The camera glides over the track and finally comes to Chen Qiming.
Chen Qiming performed the Buddha salute with one hand, glanced at the people in the audience with pity, raised his head and looked at the sky, "People! βγ
"Click! OK, next one! β
Tsui Hark had been observing Chen Qiming's performance from a distance.
In this scene, Fahai needs to show all the pity and complexity in his heart.
There is no doubt that Chen Qiming did it.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he is also afraid that Chen Qiming is the kind of person who needs to shoot several times for a scene.
If this is the case, the investment in this drama may have to increase again.
As Hong Kong's favorite special effects at present, this drama is also a movie that uses a lot of special effects.
The special effects of the movie are enough to cost money, if Chen Qiming's acting skills are not good, the follow-up investment will definitely be more.
This is definitely something he doesn't want to see.
And Chen Qiming's performance did not disappoint him, which made him relieved, but also glad to invite Chen Qiming to play.
After all, there are really not many actors who are suitable, have acting skills, and are popular in Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, Andy Lau, Leslie Cheung, Jet Li and others.
As for Stephen Chow......
He's not fit for such a play.
