Chapter 523 "Old Cousin, How Are You?"

Chen Xiaotang's unexpected launching ceremony of "Jing Wu Heroes" made all Hong Kong entertainment feel bad!

"Oh my God, why did I get news? Hurry up!"

"Damn it! It's killing people, if you don't run over there, the day lily will probably be cold!"

""Jing Wu Heroes" is on? If you don't go, you can't do it! You must catch the first-hand news!!"...

As a result, the entire media world was in a state of turmoil, a crowd of demons danced wildly, and everyone rushed towards the launch site of "Jing Wu Heroes" by Moying Entertainment!
Although the time was short, Chen Xiaotang did not make the opening ceremony a small fuss, on the contrary, he held a grand opening ceremony with extravagance.

Because it is a film starring Chen Xiaotang, the superstar in the film and television industry, and action giants such as Xu Xiaoming and Cheng Xiaodong join in, plus Wang Zuxian, who is now rumored to have a scandal with the song god SAM, and the film enamel doll Guan Zhilin as the leading actors, so the movie The opening ceremony was very lively.

Many newspapers, magazines and entertainment media sent reporters to conduct interviews. As the leading actor and investor, Chen Xiaotang led all the cast and crew to hold the opening ceremony, and the main creators and important characters of the crew stood at the front of the press conference. , Ren reporters interviewed.

But Chen Xiaotang, Xu Xiaoming, Cheng Xiaodong, Guan Zhilin, Wang Zuxian and others appeared at the front desk one by one, waiting for everyone's questions.

Off the stage, guns and short guns were fired, and reporters from all walks of life were ready. In a tense atmosphere, the interview began.

Chen Xiaotang first introduced the main creators on the podium, and then briefly told everyone about the general situation of the movie.Next, it was the reporter's turn to ask questions.

"Mr. Chen, I am a reporter from "Entertainment Pioneer". I heard that you invested in this movie. Not only did you play the leading role in person, but you also suppressed all your wealth. Why did you choose such a desperate behavior?" ?” A reporter’s sister was the first to be allowed to ask.

Put down all your wealth?Damn, who said that?

The investment in this movie is only 800 million, which is nothing for Moying Entertainment.But, this seems to be a gimmick, just like in the previous life, as soon as a blockbuster movie started to be shot, even if you invested 1000 million, you would brag about investing hundreds of millions. All fools know that you really have to invest hundreds of millions to make a lot of money.

Chen Xiaotang in front of the camera smiled slightly, looking very sincere and sincere, and said: "Actually, the reason why I did this is because I am optimistic about this movie of our Moying Entertainment and our current movie market, and the second is because I am interested in Xu Xiaoming. The director and director Cheng Xiaodong are very confident in their abilities. Although I did invest all my savings as you said, I don’t think it’s a desperate attempt. I believe my investment can be rewarded. Of course, I also I hope this is a good start, so that I can dedicate more and better works to everyone."

"Mr. Chen, I am a reporter from "New Youth Entertainment". I heard that you will try to change the way of the play in this "Jing Wu Heroes". May I ask if your goal is to use this movie to transform?" The tall and thin male reporter wearing glasses asked.

Chen Xiaotang was surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect this group of reporters to be so well informed.

I really want to change from an acting school to a kung fu school. After all, movies like "God of Gamblers" are tested on the actors' acting skills, such as the use and changes of eyes.And this "Jing Wu Heroes" has only one requirement for the actors - they must be able to fight!

"As an actor, I think I need to try different roles. As you said, I am indeed trying to seek innovation and change. Only by constantly honing my acting skills and raising the requirements for myself can I be able to play different roles. For the audience and those who love me, I will present more and better works."

But the male reporter rushed to ask after Chen Xiaotang finished answering: "Is this because the Kung Fu school created by Brother Cheng Long has become more and more influential in the entertainment industry? As a popular niche, you want to surpass the opponent with your own strength?" , so you are forced to make a change?"

As soon as the words fell, a staff member immediately stopped them: "Each reporter can only ask one question at a time, please do not disturb the order of the venue."

Chen Xiaotang waved his hand to stop the staff member from continuing, but said with a graceful smile: "As you said, Brother Cheng Long is a myth in the film industry. I have thought of surpassing him. As long as I If you are an excellent actor, you will have this kind of thinking, after all, a soldier who does not want to be a general must not be a good soldier; indeed, an actor who does not want to be the No. 1 actor in the film industry must not be a good actor either!"

"As for me, as a newcomer, I need to learn from elders like Long Ge in many aspects. In your eyes, this kind of learning is like a kind of competition. For example, Long Ge makes kung fu movies. Now I am also learning to make kung fu movies. It seems that I am suspected of robbing the market to share the cake. In fact, this kind of competition is benign and an indispensable factor to promote the development of the entertainment industry. As a member of the entertainment industry, we should welcome all kinds of forms. Only with competition can there be prosperity, and movie fans will have more movies to watch!"

"In the end, I believe that Brother Long himself will definitely think the same way. He must not be afraid of any challenges from newcomers, and hopes that they can overcome him to reach a higher position. Because he is the eldest brother Cheng Long, because he is the successor to Bruce Lee. After that, the greatest kung fu superstar! Thank you all!"

Chen Xiaotang's generous and decent answer won the praise of everyone present, and there was a burst of applause in the venue.

Look, how good the words are. It not only saves face, but also does not hurt the friendship. It can be said to be tactful and sophisticated.

After the applause, another reporter asked: "Rafi, this is your first collaboration with director Xu Xiaoming. Why did you choose an unknown newcomer as the lead male lead?"

Male number two?Pick, isn't that talking about Li Lianjie? !

Chen Xiaotang smiled, and left this topic to the director Xu Xiaoming to answer. You can't take everything on yourself, but also give people around you some opportunities to show their faces.

Xu Xiaoming understood, and replied without changing his face: "First of all, what I want to say is that as a director, I like to discover new talents, and everyone in the circle knows this. Secondly, I want to say that this time our male second In Hong Kong, although he is a newcomer, he is not unknown."

Hearing Director Xu say this, everyone was very surprised, because since the movie "Jing Wu Heroes" started to be promoted, he has been tight-lipped about the identity of the second actor. Xiaohao denied his role in front of reporters, and Moying Entertainment also made clarifications, so that until now the outside world still doesn't know who this mysterious second male lead is.

You know, the male number one in this drama is Chen Xiaotang, so those who are worthy of playing with Chen Xiaotang will definitely become the focus of this drama, such as Guan Zhilin who is the heroine, and the female second who is full of scandals recently Wang Zuxian, but the male number two has become the most mysterious person.

"Director Xu, can you introduce this actor to us?" Another reporter asked repeatedly.

Director Xu Xiaoming said with a smile: "No problem, but before he comes out, I have to introduce him to everyone. Everyone works in the news industry. I think everyone knows that there is a Chinese-Hong Kong co-produced kung fu film "North and South" that was released in Hong Kong last year. Shaolin, and because of this drama, a certain Hong Kong director and mainland actors were very unhappy..."

The people present were all members of the news industry. Although they usually focus on local entertainment news in Hong Kong, everyone was well aware that the China-Hong Kong co-production of Shaolin Kung Fu movies had created a whirlwind in Hong Kong.

What's more, because of this co-production, it is said that the director Liu Jialiang had a fierce quarrel with the mainland actors.Mainland actors protested the different remuneration for Hong Kong actors and mainland actors; Lau Ka Leung said that the remuneration of course cannot be the same in different regions.The other party refuted that everyone is equal, and an actor should be the same.Director Liu was furious about this. After returning to Hong Kong, he said angrily on many occasions that he would never cooperate with mainland actors in filming again, it was too unqualified!

And the mainland actor who was nominated by Liu Jialiang with no quality was speculated by everyone. For this matter, even the Xinhua News Agency stationed in Hong Kong stood up and made a big fuss, so that even ordinary citizens knew the ins and outs of this matter, let alone these dry actors. Journalism works for journalists too.

"Director Xu, do you mean that the second male lead in the film is actually a mainland actor who had a conflict with director Liu Jialiang in the 'Shaolin Gate' incident?" A reporter didn't wait for Xu Xiaoming to finish speaking, let alone a staff member for prompting. , stood up and rushed to ask.

Xu Xiaoming didn't mind the reporter's impolite behavior of interrupting his speech, and just said with a playful smile: "So this matter still has the name 'Shaolin Gate'? This is the first time I heard. But our hero is indeed the person involved in this matter——Li Lianjie!"

As soon as this remark came out, the venue suddenly "buzzed" into chaos.

Ever since Xu Xiaoming introduced Li Lianjie to join Moying Entertainment in "Jing Wu Heroes", he immediately thought that this is a very good selling point. If it is used for hype, it will definitely have a very good effect.It can not only help Moying's new movie to do free publicity, but also make Hong Kong people who like to gossip more familiar with Li Lianjie.

After communicating with Li Lianjie, Xu Xiaoming persuaded the simple and honest Li Lianjie with the theme of warning that everyone should be equal regardless of race or region. He had to help himself and go along with his proposal.

After that, Xu Xiaoming decided to use this topic and this movie to hype Li Lianjie as a passionate young man with a sense of justice, and to portray Li Lianjie as a righteous image.So at this press conference, Li Lianjie, who was the number two male, did not appear on the rostrum.

Now that Xu Xiaoming threw out this burden, he really got an extraordinary effect. Looking at the boiling crowd, Xu Xiaoming and Chen Xiaotang beside him burst into laughter on the stage.

Especially Chen Xiaotang, he never thought that this old Xu, who seems to be quite honest, is actually so "despicable" that he can even think of such a wicked thing. Even a "China-Hong Kong decisive battle" is embarrassing.

In addition, this incident also reminded Chen Xiaotang of a Hong Kong TV series "Old Cousin, How Are You" in his previous life.

Speaking of which, the topic of this series is the conflict between China and Hong Kong. The first episode has exhausted the sensitive topics. Tang Yingying suspected that she was alluding to the tour guide Aizhen, Zulan used to pretend to be a mainlander in Cantonese, and Guo Jinan spoke poor Mandarin with a bad accent. provocative.Therefore, some people complained that the show smeared mainlanders, but some also pointed out that it vilified Hong Kong people; but it still couldn't stop the ratings of this show from rising step by step.To put it bluntly, this drama won super high ratings by inspiring various "contradictions".

At this time, the trick Xu Xiaoming played was simply a replica of "Old Cousin, How Are You". Once this trick was played, there was indeed thunder!
"Director Xu, can you invite this Mr. Li Lianjie out and introduce us to everyone?" A reporter shouted loudly in the chaotic crowd.

After the reporter made this request, the chaotic venue gradually quieted down.

Everyone is looking forward to seeing this "legendary" mainland martial arts star, and seeing how a "mainland Can" actor is against the sky.

Director Xu Xiaoming nodded with a smile, and then said: "Of course it's no problem, but I have to make an agreement with everyone before he can come out to meet you. First, please don't ask him about his personal privacy. Second, we don't accept anything related to this movie. Unrelated question. Third, don’t make things difficult for Ajie, his Hong Kong dialect is not very good, and it’s his first time in Hong Kong, so he can’t stand your torture!”

Xu Xiaoming's last joke drew good-natured laughter from the scene.

"Okay, I was just joking with you just now, now let me introduce to you, the well-deserved second male number of our "Jing Wu Heroes"-Li Lianjie!" Director Xu Xiaoming said loudly.

After speaking, Li Lianjie walked from behind the scenes to the front desk in a Chinese tunic suit.All of a sudden, the flash lights were on. If Li Lianjie hadn't learned Shaolin Kungfu, he often meditated with palms together, and his concentration had already reached the level of a master like "Fahai" in Jinshan Temple, he would have been scared to the ground by this scene.

The Chinese tunic suit that Li Lianjie was wearing today was not a gimmick created by Chen Xiaotang and Xu Xiaoming, it was specially chosen by him.Originally he was dressed in a black suit, but Li Lianjie thought that since it was a public place, Chinese characteristics should be conveyed, so he chose this suit himself.

As soon as she appeared on the stage at this moment, she really looked very "heroic", very "stylish", very "Huo Yuanjia" and "Heavenly Gourd Baby"!
You know, this outfit is only available in movies, and now Li Lianjie wears it, it really looks very eye-catching, at least everyone is looking at him at the moment, forgetting the east, west, north, south, red and white!
The snowflakes are floating, floating, the New Year is coming, and the New Year is coming soon, but the family can't open the pot, so I can only kneel here and beg for tickets, beg for a reward, and buy a red-headed rope for my Xi'er!
