Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 138 Arrangement of Top [-] Albums
"When will the filming of "New Love" start officially?"

Chen Qiming didn't stay at Er Dongsheng's house for too long. After confirming that Athena Chu could not play the role, and chatting with Er Dongsheng and Qin Pei for a while, he took the initiative to leave.

However, before leaving, he asked about the specific start time of the film.

"No.11, NO.11 we can start filming!" said Er Dongsheng who sent Chen Qiming out.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming nodded and said, "It's best to shoot early. I'm going to Japan to promote the album at the end of October. I can't delay it."

……

Compared with the last "Meteor Butterfly Sword" filmed by Chen Qiming, the movie "Green Snake" is undoubtedly more popular.

As the pioneer of the new style of martial arts and the director of many popular movie IPs, Tsui Hark's movies are naturally very popular.

In addition, Wang Zuxian and Maggie Cheung are two beauties to help out, as well as Chen Qiming, the most popular music star this year.

Before the opening ceremony of the second day officially started, a large number of reporters rushed to the scene.

In addition to Hong Kong reporters, many reporters even from Taiwan came here.

The two No. 30 reporters were all mixed together, and the clicking sound of the camera taking pictures kept ringing.

After today's opening ceremony, the crew will immediately enter the shooting stage.

So Siyuan Films put the opening ceremony at the Shaw Brothers Film and Television Base.

Start to worship God!
This custom also exists in the "Green Snake" crew, and the scale is even larger.

I don't know if it's because I feel that the more enshrined, the more blessings the crew will receive, or other reasons.

Compared with the production team that Chen Qiming had experienced before, the dedication of the crew of "Green Snake" is a luxury.

In addition to the common offerings of fruits and vegetables, the crew even specially arranged two roast pigs in front of Guan Gong and the camera covered with a red cloth.

However, although the scene is big, the process is still those processes, reciting edicts, offering sacrifices...

After worshiping the gods, the assistant director began to arrange the staff to decorate the venue, while Chen Qiming and the leading actors followed the director Tsui Hark to the reporter for interviews.

"That's Chen Qiming?"

"I'm going, why did Chen Qiming change like this? Where did that trendy guy Chen Qiming go?"

"However, this Chen Qiming is so handsome, with a bald head and so charming!"

As soon as Chen Qiming and his group approached, the reporters who had seen clearly the costumes of the crowd immediately began to discuss.

Of course, as a reporter, shooting must not stop.

Only hearing the sound of clicking, Chen Qiming, Maggie Cheung and other leading actors were photographed by the reporters in the camera.

"Ming Tsai, can you tell me about your outfit?"

"Ming Tsai, are you playing Fa Hai? But, with the jewels of Qiandemen in front of you, can you be sure that this image of you can be accepted by the audience?"

"Ming Tsai, the Baodao People's Livelihood Daily's Top [-] Idol Voting has started. Currently, you and Andy Lau have the same number of votes. Do you think you can get the first place in the vote?"

"A Ming, the selection of the top 40 Taiwan albums selected by Tao Xiaoqing and Ma Shiming has ended, and your "Fairy Tale" and "Too Soft Heart" ranked No.[-] and No. [-] respectively. Do you have anything to say about this selection? "

"Ming Tsai, Yang Junjun of Silver Chung Films said in an interview with the media that he has bid 300 million Hong Kong dollars to invite you to appear in "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang: Ximen Wuhen" produced by Yin Chung Pictures. It is reported that Yang Junjun will play In the play Ximen Wuhen, if you play the role of Chu Liuxiang, you may play a couple with Ms. Yang Junjun, but there is a huge age difference between the two of you, would you like to stage a taboo love that crosses ages with her?"

When the crew arrived in front of the reporters, all the reporters rushed forward and rushed towards Chen Qiming.

There were not many people left around Wang Zuxian and Maggie Cheung in the original place.

Even Wu Xingguo, who just came to the set, didn't have any reporters around him, which made him embarrassed for a while, and he could only look enviously at Chen Qiming over there.

"Sister Bihua, you saw it! That's why I chose Chen Qiming.

In addition to the image time, his own heat and popularity will definitely be an important box office guarantee for our film. "

There wasn't a single reporter in front of him, Tsui Hark wasn't angry at all, instead he turned around and said this to Li Bihua with a happy face.

Li Bihua glanced at the reporters who blocked Chen Qiming, even if he had some opinions on Chen Qiming, he had to admit that Chen Qiming really lived up to his reputation.

No wonder her daughter is chasing star Chen Qiming crazily every day.

He has something.

"Everyone, please don't squeeze, we will answer each question one by one."

Facing the siege of many reporters, Chen Qiming was in a hurry, pushed away a microphone that hit his face, and said loudly.

After reassuring the reporters a little, he began to answer their questions.

"About whether the Fahai I played can be compared with the predecessors of Qiandemen, I think everyone is wrong. Although our "Green Snake" is also born out of "The Legend of the White Snake", it is done from a completely different perspective. taking pictures.

Our film, as you can tell from the name, is shot from the perspective of the green snake.

With different perspectives, the development of the story will have a different direction, therefore, I am a completely different character from Fa Hai, the predecessor of Qiandemen..."

Gan Demen is the actor who played Fa Hai in "Legend of the New White Snake".

"Legend of the New White Snake" has been broadcast in more than a dozen countries in Asia since its launch last year. It can be said that the images of White Snake, Xu Xian and even most of the characters in the play have been solidified in the minds of the audience.

Under such circumstances, it is actually not very advisable to shoot Green Snake again.

But since he played the role, he must not show timidity.

So Chen Qiming can only explain from another direction.

"As for the top ten idols, I haven't paid much attention to them recently. As you know, I just came back from Japan and started filming non-stop.

When I know more about the matter, I will chat with you. "

In fact, Chen Qiming is concerned about the top ten idols.

Since last year's top ten idols were held successfully, this year, the influence of this award has grown.

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 have more gold content.

As long as it is selected, it almost means that the Chinese-speaking region has a good popularity.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that the people selected as the top ten idols are the most attractive existences in the Chinese music scene and the Mandarin record market.

As for Chen Qiming, with his popularity, his selection is definitely 100%.

What he cares about now is whether he can overthrow Andy Lau this year and become the number one among the top ten idols.

Speaking of this, Chen Qiming was very helpless.

He originally thought that with "The Heart Is Too Soft", he should easily surpass Andy Lau to become the number one voter this year.

But the truth slapped him in the face.

Voting started two weeks ago.

In two weeks, he actually failed to catch up with Andy Lau.

Although the gap between the two sides is very small, if you don't catch up, you won't catch up. He is still the second child.

It made him less inclined to talk about it.

However, should I say it or not, Andy Lau is even more of a cheater than him, his popularity is as stable as a cow, not declining, and has been rising steadily.

"As for the movie invitation this friend mentioned, I'm sorry, I don't know about it, maybe my agency didn't notify me! I'll ask when I have time."

Regarding Yang Junjun, this is actually a question that Chen Qiming doesn't want to ask.

Because this problem is no longer a problem, but an annoyance for him.

Who is Yang Junjun?
He is a wealthy businessman in Baodao with a lot of wealth.

In the 80s, Jin Yong and Gu Long's novels were very popular in the film and television industry, and many people adapted their novels.

Because Yang Junjun and Gu Long are good friends, he also spent money to buy several Gu Long's film and television copyrights, such as Chu Liuxiang.

After having the copyright, it is natural to make movies and TV series.

Yang Junjun is no exception.

Because of money, I like handsome guys.

So, she simply ended up acting as an actress herself.

In many TV series and movies she produced and produced.

She played in person, acted as the heroine, and had a vigorous love affair with the hero in the play.

No, because Chen Qiming is really hot and handsome.

Then he was naturally followed by Yang Junjun.

Since last year, she has cast a total of seven invitations to Furlong.

And came to the door several times in person, just to have dinner with Chen Qiming.

Fortunately, every time she came to the door, it was basically Chen Qiming's busy period.

Therefore, Fulong did not agree to her invitation.

I originally went to Hong Kong to shoot movies.

Chen Qiming thought he had gotten rid of her.

Unexpectedly, this woman really has a lot of money.

She actually established a film and television company in Hong Kong, um, the company mentioned above.

Then he passed the script to Chen Qiming.

In short, Chen Qiming was almost driven crazy by her torture.

He has never seen such a woman who can spend money and persevere.

"Then Chen Qiming, what do you think about the selection of Taiwan's top [-] albums?

Don't you think, with the record-breaking sales of your two records, shouldn't you only be in the current position? "

A reporter saw that Chen Qiming didn't answer about the top [-] albums, so he immediately asked.

"I don't have a problem with that, although record sales are the closest way to measure a record.

But it's not the only way.

I have looked at the ranking list of the top [-] albums. The first one is "Zhi Hu Zhe Ye" by Mr. Luo Dayou, and the second is "Hitch the Wrong Car".

These albums may not sell as well as my two albums, but these two albums and all the top ten albums have brought a strong transformation to the Chinese music scene.

At this point, I can't compare them! "

After pondering for a while, Chen Qiming spoke.

What he said was not a lie, but a sincere thought.

The list selected by Tao Xiaoqing and dozens of hundreds of music practitioners may not be too accurate.

But this list has indeed been recognized by many people.

Luo Dayou's "Zhi Hu Zhe Ye", it is this album that has led Taiwan's pop music and even the entire Chinese music scene to an unprecedented wave of criticism and reflection.

And the second "Hit the Wrong Car", it tells the story it wants to tell, uses music to create the picture it wants to create, and the last but most important step is to find the voice that will sing from the heart and sing Emotions, the voice that sings the story——Su Rui's voice.

And this voice has passed through the long river of time and has been flowing until now.

If you listen to this album with the movie "Hitch the Wrong Car", then people will be able to understand the heartfelt voice in this album even more.

Except for these two albums, each of the top ten albums has more or less good influence and status in the Chinese music scene.

For example, "Nothing" ranked seventh.

This album is an important album for Cui Jian to set off a rock boom in the mainland.

It was this album that brought mainland rock into a period of barbaric 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 is the peak.

"But there are also people who think that your albums "So Soft Hearted" and "Fairy Tale" should have a higher status.

As far as we know, since the second half of this year, many R&B singers have emerged, and their songs are all influenced by your album. "

A reporter complained on behalf of Chen Qiming.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming smiled, "If I can really bring about a new metamorphosis, why not leave it to history to judge?

If the period from 1965 to this year is planned as a period, will there be another period after that?

Maybe ten years later, someone will rearrange the albums again, or select albums from 1993 to a later period for arrangement!

At that time, if I really reach that height, I think they should not be stingy and put me in the forefront! "

After answering this question, Chen Qiming glanced at Tsui Hark over there, and said: "I have already said enough about my own problems, let's talk about "Green Snake"!

Look at the poster, I am the first in the cast, and this is my first leading role. "

In fact, it is not forbidden for actors to talk about themselves during the opening ceremony.

Hong Kong filmmakers believe that the actors themselves can bring greater attention to the production.

Therefore, they never allow actors to talk about other topics at the press conference.

Even, to a certain extent, they also like you to talk more about breaking news, which can bring greater attention to the movie.

However, Chen Qiming felt that it was better not to talk too much about private matters.

He prefers to attribute movies to movies and music to music.

Well, I only talk about movies when I should talk about movies, and I don’t talk too much about movies when I should talk about records.

Next, Chen Qiming chatted with reporters about movies for a while.

During this period, some reporters finally went to interview Wu Xingguo, Tsui Hark and others.

Some reporters even directly asked a question that made Tsui Hark a little embarrassed.

"Director Xu, why did you think of inviting Chen Qiming to play Fa Hai!
Are you because of his high popularity, so..."

To be honest, this question really made Tsui Hark blush a little.

It was because of Chen Qiming's popularity that he invited him.

However, Tsui Hark is also an old fritter, and finally fooled it by saying that Chen Qiming is suitable for this role.

After finishing the interview with the reporters, Tsui Hark didn't let the reporters leave. Instead, he arrested their young men and asked them to help with guest appearances in upcoming scenes.

There are two games today.

Both scenes are played by Chen Qiming.

The first filming was Fa Hai's first appearance.

According to Tsui Hark, this scene is to reflect the stubbornness of the character Fa Hai.

And this will also be the scene that requires the most extras in the whole play.

The crew recruited dozens of extras, plus a dozen or so journalists who were arrested, making a total of nearly a hundred people.

Everyone changed into costumes for group performances, put on ugly human skin masks, and gathered on the shooting site.

Tsui Hark began to give lectures to group performers and reporters who could not act at all.

And Chen Qiming changed into the white monk uniform, holding a Buddhist bead in one hand, and offering a single-handed Buddhist salute with the other hand, scanning all the group performers 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 the movie in the dream.

Tsui Hark is really restless.

What he wants to express in this movie is too profound.

Just like this one.

In fact, in the setting of the script, these group performers in front of them are not monsters and ghosts, but people, real people.

However, because Tsui Hark wanted to show the ugliness of people's hearts, he made everyone 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 has powerful mana and can read people's hearts. He sees the ugly appearance of these people through his mind.

"action!"

Following Tsui Hark's order, the huge production crew immediately began to operate.

The camera first scanned the monster-like people one by one.

And the group performers followed Tsui Hark's instructions, doing one thing repeatedly like lunatics and ignorant walking dead.

Then, when a piece of silver flew up, all the ugly people rushed together and started to rob and attack each other.

A camera on a track glides over these ensemble actors, capturing their actions on film.

Among them, of course, there are group performances that are not up to standard.

Chen Qiming saw a reporter who had interviewed him before looking around, not knowing what to do.

Chen Qiming believed that Tsui Hark also saw that the reporter's superficial disqualification.

But Tsui Hark did not stop.

In a scene, especially a scene with up to a hundred people like this one, what one person does can't affect the operation of the entire crew at all.

You are unqualified, at worst, just cut your scene. If you really think that the crew will stop because of your tricks, then you think too much of yourself.

The camera slid across the track and finally came to Chen Qiming.

Chen Qiming performed the Buddhist ceremony with one hand, looked at the crowd with pity on his face, raised his head to look at the sky, "Human!".

"Crack! OK, next game!"

Tsui Hark has been observing Chen Qiming's performance from a distance.

In this scene, Fa Hai needs to show all the compassion and complexity in his heart.

There is no doubt that Chen Qiming did it.

This gave him a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was also afraid that Chen Qiming was the kind of person who needed to shoot a scene several times.

If this is the case, the investment in this drama may have to increase.

As Hong Kong's current favorite to play special effects, this movie is also a movie that uses a lot of special effects.

Movie special effects are already costly enough, if Chen Qiming's acting skills are not good enough, the follow-up investment will definitely be more.

This is absolutely not what he wants to see.

And Chen Qiming's performance did not disappoint him, which made him relieved, and he was also very lucky to invite Chen Qiming to play.

After all, there are really not many actors in Hong Kong who are suitable, have acting skills, and are popular.

All of Hong Kong, including Andy Lau, Leslie Cheung, Jet Li and others.

As for Stephen Chow...

He is not suitable for this kind of play.
