At first, I just wanted to make money

Click on the computer, enter Teacher Chen's name, and Gillian will pop up immediately...

Not that kind of picture!
Just some ambiguous reports, like two people dating or something, there is also an interesting report 'Edison Chen and Yu Wenle won the battle for beauty'...

It was about the award ceremony of the Top Ten Golden Songs in 02, Mr. Chen and Yu Wenle almost started fighting.

Tsk tsk, this is still a series!

I suddenly understood why "Cruel Street" was a blockbuster on the first day...

Audiences attracted by gossip!

Among the celebrity hype routines, gossip hype should be the most common method.

For the sake of hype, many celebrities form a CP once when filming a movie, spread gossip when there is a disagreement, and then hype again by clarifying the gossip.

This method has been tried and tested, and it can attract the attention of the audience.

Teacher Chen and Gillian are both representatives of the new generation in Hong Kong...

The scandal between the two of them can easily occupy the entertainment headlines, and by the way, promote the movie.

Let me briefly talk about Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen's initial glory came from "capital" insisting on making music!

But his continuous development is still not as good as Xie Tingfeng and Eason Chan, and there are no songs that break the circle.

Fortunately, Xie Tingfeng happened to miss the casting of "Infernal Affairs" because of the overturn of the top package case at that time, and left the resources to Mr. Chen and Yu Wenlei.

Mr. Chen failed to make a breakthrough in music, and shifted his focus to the film field. With his participation in works such as "Infernal Affairs" and "Jianghu", he has gained a certain popularity...

Last year, I collaborated with Xie Tingfeng on "Brother Xin Zha", and the reputation was not bad.

However, he is still very popular - the kind who can be invited by a certain fan to star in "Seven Hours of Time Difference"...

The former fans know how to chase stars, and if they like you, they will spend money to cooperate with you in a movie!
It's not like now, enshrining idols as gods in the sky...

……

Before the release of "Cruel Street", Shen Xudong didn't take much part in the promotion, but just wrote an article on the source of creation on his blog.

"I believe that when mentioning Hong Kong gangster movies, the first thing many people think of is the Young and Dangerous series!
"Young and Dangerous" promotes pornographic violence and teaches bad children. These words have been repeated many times, so I won't say more. superior?Killing people of course!
If you think about it carefully, the positive characters in the film, Da Fei runs pornographic magazines, Han Bin runs gambling, and Thirteen Girls organizes prostitution.

It seems that Hong Xing's sense of justice is only reflected in not selling drugs and showing loyalty...

I think gangster movies should be more realistic. Hong Kong gangster movies emphasize "loyalty". In the underworld, "justice" defeats evil. It is too idealistic interpretation... The essence of gangsters is a small social group with a structure for the purpose of seeking benefits. . "

"The sole purpose of forming gangsters is to gain their own interests. They are selfish. They satisfy their own desires by harming the interests of others. I don't understand why so many gangster movies in Hong Kong focus on the morals of the world... Later, I studied Hong Kong film history. Then I learned that many gangsters themselves also invest in movies...then of course they want to beautify themselves through movies..."

"According to my understanding, only when the gangsters need dirty gloves, the underworld has room to grow!"

"With this kind of mentality, I wrote "Cruel Street", and after being recommended by director Chen Musheng, Golden Harvest liked it very much, so I decided to shoot it. Thank you Golden Harvest for valuing it..."

"Now it's about to be released, I hope everyone can watch it, and then point out the shortcomings..."

Of course, the whole article must be more than that, quoting these is enough, and the lines are full of disdain for Hong Kong gangster movies!

As long as it is aimed at "Young and Dangerous"...

It caused a lot of media coverage.

Many people refuted Shen Xudong's point of view, thinking that the "Young and Dangerous" series is okay.

For example, "The bosses in the story were either killed or retired from the military, and the protagonist couldn't escape all kinds of tossing, dead women and dead brothers. The plot emphasized over and over again that being a gangster would not end well. Later, I probably saw that the enlightenment effect was not good. , Chen Haonan simply rants about the teaching part: "Look at his prestige, have you ever thought about the suffering behind him...'

"Movies are just movies. Those who kill people after watching Young and Dangerous will also kill people after watching Tom and Jerry..."

……

"...The film is fine, but it should be strictly included in the 18-ban. For adults with independent thinking ability and certain social experience, it is basically harmless. After watching it, I know it is just an exaggerated and beautified scene. ;

But for the ignorant teenagers in the rebellious period, this is a disaster.It is far more misleading and disorienting to teenage worldviews than porn! "

To promote the movie, you must face the media. Shen Xudong still insists on criticizing "Young and Dangerous": "For teenagers, they can't understand the point of no return in these plots. They can only see gangsters. prestige."

"The seditiousness of the movie is still very strong!"

"Of course, this thing has nothing to do with the movie itself, because "Young and Dangerous" is actually a tertiary movie in Hong Kong. After it was spread to the mainland, with the popularity of pirated discs, many teenagers watched it..."

""Cruel Street" tends to be realistic. The hero's family is poor. In order to rise to the top, he killed the eldest brother directly under him. It's a pity that the same story happened to the hero."

"The investors have already said that the so-called loyalty of gangsters is the beautification of movies... let's stop this topic!"

In fact, everyone knows that the "Young and Dangerous" series has indeed harmed many people, but it is a film banned by the General Administration of Film...

Since the General Administration issued an order, it must be wrong... Opposition is over!

Diode thinking exists no matter now or in the future!
Fortunately, the media shifted the topic to Mr. Chen.

Asked about casting ideas.

Shen Xudong said truthfully: "I set the male protagonist to be around 30 years old, Mr. Chen is still too young... But there is no way, there are no young actors around 30 years old in the Hong Kong film industry..."

"There are only a few of the new generation, Mr. Chen was selected by the director!"

"Dating...I don't know, during the filming, I didn't go to the crew..."

The interviewed media hurriedly asked: "You didn't go to the crew, so if you encounter problems with the script..."

"You can make a call, what era is this?"

"...Then how do you feel about this collaboration?"

"It's okay, the producer and the director all respect me..."

Then some media asked: "You and Director Johnnie To broke up? Can you tell me more about it?"
