At first, I just wanted to make money

"Ms. Chen can nominate the best actor!"

Walking out of the theater, Zhao Linhai sighed...

Zhao Xin has a different opinion: "This kind of character setting can be handled well by anyone with a little bit of acting skills... I can only say that he was lucky and came across a good script!"

"...The fourth book is indeed okay, but the director means that it has nothing to do with the main plot..."

"He was trying to satirize the so-called essence of gangsters..."

"No wonder... Hey, have you read the newspaper? How do you rate this movie?"

Zhao Xin shook his head: "I'm busy writing the script...how about you?"

Zhao Linhai also shook his head: "I'm busy too... "Happy Heroes" has been adapted into a unit drama, six units, and two originals...I'm looking for information..."

"...there is Baoting over there, let's go and have a look?"

"go!"

The two walked quickly to Baoting, picked up a newspaper at random, and flipped directly to the entertainment page. The front page was "Cruel Street, A Unique Gangster Movie":
"Two and a half hours covered many labels: gangsters, violence, romance, friendship, betrayal, sadness, life.

This film depicts a real underworld situation: there are no eternal brothers, only eternal interests and use.All are trapped in an endless loop of violence and betrayal with no exit. "

"The first gangster film written by Shen Xudong seems to emphasize authenticity, but I can see a kind of romance. But the price of romance is to be buried on a snowy night...very cruel..."

Seeing this, Zhao Xin put down the newspaper in his hand: "What do you say?"

"Praise...you can tell by the title."

Zhao Linhai handed over the "BJ Morning News" in his hand, and Zhao Xin took a look - "Desolate Street"...

Just look at the title and you'll know what it's about...

"...It seems that there is no problem with word-of-mouth!"

"Hmm... Maybe take a look and go back and write a movie review..."

……

In terms of word-of-mouth, "Cruel Street" really has no problem!
Shen Xudong, including the publicity team of the crew, can also feel it, and the one who feels the most is probably Mr. Chen!
Teacher Chen and Yu Wenlei debuted at about the same time...

Well, in fact, Teacher Chen, Yu Wenlei, Xie Tingfeng, Wu Yanzu and Feng Delun are all a group of niche students who emerged after Ekin Cheng. Now, many people say that in terms of temperament and acting skills, Teacher Chen is the most outstanding and the most favored. It's a pity that it was destroyed in the "Photography Exhibition".

In fact, the Hong Kong media at this time period are more optimistic about Yu Wenlei, thinking that he is more suitable to be an actor...

But where do you want to say that Yu Wenle is more brilliant?

I can't even say...

Mr. Chen obviously cared about the media's comments, and he kept trying to prove himself.

"Cruel Street" is a good proof.

Because most of the media is praise.

The interview and publicity were of course centered on Mr. Chen. When asked if he had communicated with Shen Xudong, he said: "I called him to ask him about the background of this character, because I don't know much about what this character carries..."

"At first I spoke Mandarin, but my Mandarin is too bad, so I just speak English..."

"His English is excellent!"

Of course, I also asked about the feeling of working with Gillian again.

"It feels good, we haven't worked together for almost two years..."

"We are good friends, we are not dating!"

Of course, Shen Xudong is also the focus of media interviews. Who made him utter wild words before, and even opened up map guns in the movie!
"From a creative point of view, Hong Kong's gangster movies have a relatively strong entertainment attribute, emphasizing "loyalty", and "justice" defeats evil in the underworld, which is too idealistic interpretation..."

"Hong Kong's gangster movies, such as "The Lame Man", "The True Colors of a Hero", "The Emperor of Shanghai", "Young and Dangerous" series of films, the moral judgment standards are extremely binary. You don’t need to go through too much inner struggle, you just need to simply protect the good people and kill the bad ones, and you can grow bigger step by step, and finally follow the tide of the times to either retreat into the world or go to jail. The logic is a bit too simple.

This is because most of Hong Kong's film industry in the early years was controlled by gangsters, who tried to enter the mainstream and always loved self-beautification. "

"Of course, there are also excellent works, such as "Prison Storm" and "School Storm", which can better show the wretched side of gangsters and reflect the tragic situation of ordinary people's lives being infiltrated at that time."

"Actually, I have always believed that what an excellent film and television work should achieve is not to have correct values, but to look good. From this perspective, gangster films produced in Hong Kong are not bad!"

"But now it is the Internet age, we say that creation should keep pace with the times, and now we still sing the praises of gangster loyalty, no audience will believe it..."

"That's why I say that the essence of gangster movies has changed..."

……

Propaganda is to cooperate with the media's questions, no matter how weird the media's questions are, how much you don't want to answer, you still have to be patient...

Because your movie is counting on them to report promoting the movie!

Shen Xudong is very patient, and in his opinion, Teacher Chen is also quite patient.

Not the bad temper that the media legend has it...

Shen Xudong had only contacted him on this mobile phone before, and met the real person...

Still very excited - Mr. Chen is the only star in the circle who treats the audience as his own, eats meat by himself, and does not forget to feast everyone's eyes and drink soup!
I have an audience in my heart...

What is virtue and art, this is it.

It is said that Mr. Chen is very trendy in both appearance and attire. He is wearing a lapel shirt and a light-colored sweater. He has a thin figure and handsome features.

When YouQi laughed, the corners of his mouth pulled out at a slanted angle, making him even more carefree.

Bad boys are the most attractive to women!

Teacher Chen is also observing Shen Xudong...

Shen Xudong has a caliper head, a white shirt and jeans, and is close to 1 meters tall...

The first feeling is very handsome!

Shen Xudong took the initiative to say hello and stretched out his hand: "Edison, we finally meet."

Teacher Chen hugged him directly: "Writer Shen... I really didn't expect you to be so young!"

"I'm 21..."

"I'm four years older than you!"

"But if you come to BJ, I'm sure I'll treat you...I'll take you to eat something good later!"

"...Is BJ delicious? Is it roast duck?"

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "BJ doesn't only have roast duck...Zhajiang noodles, hot-boiled lamb, lamb scorpion, milk sheep fried cake, donkey roll... By the way, I will take you to drink a bowl of soybean juice first!"

The accompanying staff immediately reminded: "...we only have one hour to eat, and we are going to the airport soon...the next stop is going to Shanghai..."

"Yeah...then let's eat whatever we want."

Teacher Chen: "...If you don't have time, you can go to McDonald's!"

"In time..."

Shen Xudong waved his hand, took Mr. Chen and the director Zheng Baorui to find a nearby beef noodle restaurant: "Go ahead and eat some... Waiter, three servings..."

After ordering the dishes, Shen Xudong asked Zheng Baorui: "Why is Teacher Chen here alone? Where's Gillian?"

"...She is preparing for a concert in Singapore and has no time..."

"Emperor is really cheating!"

It's nothing more than "Cruel Street", Emperor has no investment... Otherwise, how could the heroine disappear at this juncture?

The face came to light, Teacher Chen looked at Shen Xudong, and suddenly said: "I heard that writer Shen also likes to play photography?"

"...Well, I mainly take pictures of landscapes!"

"Then we can exchange techniques... I also like photography!"
