Chapter 390: The good impression is overwhelming!
Filming requires a road show.
Therefore, Xu Xiyu and the crew of "Infernal Affairs" naturally cannot stay in Xiangjiang for too long.
They have to start from Pengcheng and go all the way north to conquer the mainland market.
At this time, driven by Wu Youjin, the discussion on whether "Infernal Affairs" can be regarded as a Hong Kong film became increasingly intense.
Some people think it doesn’t matter. After all, the actors, directors, and other crew members are basically all members of the Hong Kong team. If this is not considered a Hong Kong film, then I really don’t know what the definition of a Hong Kong film is.
But some people don’t know whether they have been led astray or if they just want to sing the opposite.
Each bite does not count. The reason for not counting is very simple, because both the story content of "Infernal Affairs" and the popularity of "Infernal Affairs" at this time are all given by Xu Xiyu.
This clearly shows that mainlanders made a "Hong Kong style movie", just like General Tso's Chicken. Is this dish considered Chinese food?
I saw such arguments.
Wu Youjin was overjoyed. He felt that he had finally let out a bad breath.
Just when he was having fun, his assistant Ali rushed into the office and said to him: "Uncle Jin, Xu Xiyu, Cheng Guangzu and the others were blocked by reporters at the entrance of Jiahe."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Wu Youjin, who had been leaning on the chair, straightened up instantly.
Immediately afterwards, he asked Ali with great interest: "How is it? Is the Four-Eyed Ancestor so angry?"
"No, the reporter's video has been sent out. You can see it for yourself." Ali said and handed Wu Youjin a tablet.
After Wu Youjin took it, he clicked it to take a look.
I saw Xu Xiyu in the camera surrounded by a bunch of microphones. Several reporters, speaking broken Mandarin, kept asking Xu Xiyu the same question.
"Xu Sheng, many people now say that "Infernal Affairs" is not a Hong Kong film. What do you think of this?!"
It should be said or not, although Wu Youjin is a bit "short-sighted" and a bit superstitious.
However, judging from his experience in quickly finding how to suppress "Infernal Affairs" these days, he is definitely not a fool.
Because of this, when he saw these reporters in the video asking Xu Xiyu questions in broken Mandarin, his heart immediately skipped a beat.
Oops!
He suddenly remembered that when he went to Xu Xiyu because of Ke Xinying's relationship, because his Mandarin was poor, Xu Xiyu simply spoke Cantonese to him later.
In other words, this guy can speak Cantonese and speaks it quite well.
Although many people in Hong Kong think that foreigners who come to Hong Kong speak Cantonese, they should learn Cantonese.
But this "should" also differs from person to person.
If Xu Xiyu is an ordinary person and can speak Cantonese, there is nothing special about it.
But the problem is, he is not ordinary. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the leader of the younger generation in the mainland entertainment industry. In addition, he is also the CEO of a large listed company.
And the Xiangjiang of today is no longer the Xiangjiang of the past.
Therefore, a foreigner like him who speaks fluent local dialect will be quite popular.
Youdao came up with what he thought, and Wu Youjin felt that Xu Xiyu would definitely answer the reporter's questions in Cantonese.
And Xu Xiyu in the video really did this.
I saw him first making a joke in Cantonese: "Wow, your Mandarin is as correct as my vernacular."
As soon as these words came out, the reporters present were obviously stunned.
Immediately afterwards there was a burst of kind laughter. Along with the laughter, a reporter asked in surprise: "Xu Sheng, you can actually speak the vernacular?"
"Hey, it's surprising." Xu Xiyu followed the trend.
He then continued: "Actually, I was surprised when I just saw the news. I don't understand why there is such a nonsensical discussion.
But then I thought about it and realized what the real crux was. So, I want to tell you a story about me and Xiangjiang Film.
I remember when I was four or five years old, my parents bought a DVD, and the DVD seller gave us some CDs, including movie CDs and music CDs.
And these discs, without exception, are all works by Xiangjiang. The first movie I ever watched in my life was Hong Kong Movie. I believe it’s not just me, there are many mainlanders who have had the same experience.
In fact, the songs I knew most at that time were Cantonese songs on CDs. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Xiangjiang movies and Xiangjiang music are my first teachers in film, television and music.
In other words, I can create "Infernal Affairs" today and I can create other works. A considerable part of the reason is because I have absorbed a lot of nutrients from the teacher of Xiangjiang Film.
Even when I was a child, I always thought that when I grow up, I must come to Xiangjiang. You must go to Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui and other places that you have never been to but are familiar with. ”
Having said this, Xu Xiyu paused.
In this long paragraph, except that creation is due to the absorption of nutrients, it is nonsense.
The rest is all true. He did grow up watching Xiangjiang movies and listening to Xiangjiang music.
Therefore, his tone and expression were extremely sincere.
Such sincere expression, coupled with his fluent Cantonese, made every reporter interviewing him smile.
Normal people don't like others to praise their hometown, because it is an honor.
Moreover, no one thought Xu Xiyu was lying.
The reason is simple. If he doesn't really like Xiangjiang, why would he learn Cantonese?
It can't be because of work, right?
Is this possible?
Not to mention, I said before that Xu Xiyu's Cantonese skills were forced by work, because he had served a Hong Kong artist for a long time on earth who did not speak Mandarin in private.
But how do the Blue Star people know this?
At this time, the Xiangjiang audience watching this video felt extremely comfortable.
When a person feels comfortable, everything he sees is pleasing to the eye.
Therefore, everyone is very pleased with Xu Xiyu now, so much so that they didn’t even read the follow-up, so they went straight to the comment area to leave their praises.
[I think he is very sincere and pure. Perhaps only such a pure person can create so many good works]
[On the other hand, our filmmakers in Xiangjiang are all obsessed with money. If a subject becomes popular, it would be weird not to stop until the film is a flop and not to hit the streets! 】
[I think he has a very high emotional intelligence. If you have watched Xiangjiang Movies and you are a student of Xiangjiang Movies, then there are too many students. Ultimately, his good works are because of his own talent]
[Indeed, he is really humble. For ordinary people of the same age, his achievements would be absolutely crazy]
[You are right to the point. I always thought he was an arrogant person. Now it seems that it is my impression that is wrong. He is quite likable]
[Don’t you think he is very handsome? I want to be his fan! 】【A nymphomaniac here? 】
[I want to be his nymphomaniac, what’s wrong, can’t I? 】
The audience in Xiangjiang enjoyed it.
But Wu Youjin felt uncomfortable everywhere he looked: "Street boy, if you have no shame, try your best to say nice things to deceive the Xiangjiang audience! Even if you say nonsense like Xiangjiang Movie is your teacher, who will believe it?! ”
Amidst his scolding, Xu Xiyu continued to answer.
I saw him continue to speak with a hint of disappointment: "But when I really grew up, I found that my enlightenment teacher named Xiangjiang Film was old."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the reporters present changed.
To be honest, if it weren't for what he said just now, Xu Xiyu, who is "old", might have caused controversy immediately.
But after he said those words, when he said "Xiangjiang movies are old", he felt like one of his own people was complaining about his own people.
It's like "you can curse your own alma mater".
The first reaction of the reporters present, including the audience watching the video, was "Hey~~"
No one will criticize Xu Xiyu and say that he is not qualified to judge here.
Xu Xiyu's answer continued: "This makes me very sad. I am sorry that the glory of Xiangjiang Film is separated from me by a screen. When I broke through this screen, there was only a trace of afterglow left. < br>
As a student of Xiangjiang Film, I really want to do something for my ‘teacher’. But at that time, I found that I couldn't do anything because I didn't have the ability.
But fate and opportunities sometimes come so unexpectedly. I became the chairman of Huaqing, and Uncle Wu Youjin, the boss of the famous Queen Entertainment, also approached me. ”
Good guy, as soon as Xu Xiyu said these words, the reporters present couldn't hold back.
As for Wu Youjin, he jumped right in: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you're going to be interviewed, ask me what I'm going to do, am I familiar with you? If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll sue you for defamation!"
Along with Wu Youjin's scolding, Xu Xiyu on the screen continued: "Uncle Jin found me and said he wanted to cooperate with me. I was very happy at that time, thinking that I could finally do something for Xiangjiang Film.
Everyone knows what happened later. When Uncle Jin heard that I wanted to make a Hong Kong film, he seemed a little dissatisfied, so he didn't cooperate with me. To be honest, I was very disappointed at that time..."
"Xu Sheng, you don't have to be disappointed, he is the one who should be disappointed now!" Before Xu Xiyu finished speaking, a reporter suddenly spoke.
"Hahahahahahahahaha." The reporter's voice fell, followed by a burst of laughter.
Hearing this laughter, Wu Youjin felt that his heart felt uncomfortable, and the curse words in his mouth never stopped.
He knew that he was going to be whipped and ridiculed again this time.
Thinking of this, he began to regret. Why he wanted to hype "Infernal Affairs" is not a topic of Hong Kong movies. Isn't this just stretching his face to slap Xu Xiyu?
The audience who saw this went directly to the comment area to comment.
[Xu Sheng, do you now know why Xiangjiang movies are getting old? Because they are all people like Wu Youjin! 】
[Short-sighted, I watched "Infernal Affairs" either because of the news about Hong Kong movies or because he arranged for someone to do it. He must be crazy with jealousy now, so he does such an unflattering thing]
[I think what you said makes sense. I support "Infernal Affairs" and the revival of Hong Kong films! ! 】
[Just what I said to him, I will support all his works from now on. Really, instead of supporting those people who can’t hold up the wall, it’s better to support him. At least he is sincere, talented and humble enough! 】
【Very handsome! 】
[Wow, the nympho is here again? 】
Comments in the comment area continued to be added, while Xu Xiyu’s interview continued: “Fortunately, I met Mr. Cheng after he heard that I was going to make a Hong Kong film.
Not only did I not feel that it was impossible or risky, but I was very excited. At that moment, I was convinced that he was a person who really hoped that Hong Kong movies could get better again. ”
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Guangzu's face glowed red and he almost looked like Maitreya Buddha with a smile.
Wu Youjin, who was watching the video, was holding his chest and couldn't even curse.
Before watching this video, he hoped to see Cheng Guangzu angry to death. He hasn't finished watching this video yet, and he feels like he might be pissed to death!
No, I can't watch it anymore.
If I look at it again, I will be admitted to the ICU just like Feihua said.
But with this thought in his mind, he just couldn't help but keep reading.
I saw Xu Xiyu on the screen saying to the reporter: "It is precisely because Mr. Cheng is a person who really hopes that Hong Kong movies can get better. That's why I have to say so much today.
To be honest, everyone thinks that "Infernal Affairs" is a Hong Kong film or not, and it doesn't have much impact on me personally.
But for Mr. Cheng, this is not the case. If everyone denies the positioning of "Infernal Affairs" as a Hong Kong film, it would be equivalent to denying his efforts in revitalizing Hong Kong films over the years.
This is so cruel! ! So, let’s not discuss such nonsensical issues. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can tell whether “Infernal Affairs” is a Hong Kong film.
Don't be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives. Isn't it obvious enough who wants Hong Kong movies to be good? Everyone, there are not many people like Mr. Cheng in the Hong Kong film industry! real! ”
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Guangzu, who originally smiled like Maitreya Buddha, slowly faded the smile on his face.
Instead, waves of sourness filled my heart.
He felt that he was not that great.
But facing Xu Xiyu's praise, it still made him feel like a "confidant".
At this moment, his affection for Xu Xiyu was really about to explode.
No, Mr. Xu told me to get the prize for Lu Qinyao, and I have to do it even if I die!
Coincidentally, one of the reasons for Xu Xiyu's goodwill was to help Lu Qinyao win the award, and the second reason was to expand the market for his works.
At this time, the reporters on the scene and the audience watching the video were all very fond of him. Seeing that Xu Xiyu first humbled himself as a film student in Xiangjiang, and then praised Cheng Guangzu throughout the whole process, he was surprised that he didn't get any credit for it.
Such a "gentleman" appearance matches his status as a boss and his handsome appearance.
Simply charming!
Under this radiant charm, a reporter suddenly asked with a flash of inspiration: "Xu Sheng, you just said that Xiangjiang movies and music are your first teachers.
Now you have produced the excellent film "Infernal Affairs". I'm curious, do you have any similar works in music? Have you ever written Cantonese songs? ”
As soon as this question came out, the reporters' necks instantly craned.
Cheng Guangzu, on the other hand, wanted to step forward and deal with his "forgotten confidant".
But before any action was taken, Xu Xiyu nodded without any hesitation: "Of course, I did write Cantonese songs. If I have the chance, I will post them for everyone to listen to."
"Lying! He's lying!! He must have never written it!!!" Wu Youjin shouted immediately when he saw this.
