Chapter 198 Wu Baige, let me teach you
“You don’t know what Zhang Chen told me at that time. He called me at that time. As soon as he got through, he said, Feng Xiaogang, hurry up. Pay me back?
I said I owed you money.
He said you lost the bet last time. I said that. No, our surname is not Zhou...
He said okay, then you come and give me a guest role, and then I came. ”
Feng Xiaogang broke the news automatically.
The audience loves to hear these gossips. What Feng Xiaogang said is also interesting, and everyone listens with gusto.
Zhang Chen is speechless, Feng Xiaogang is doing something. How much I hate Zhou Xingxing for making sarcastic remarks whenever he gets the chance. He will never be able to get over this matter in his life.
But he still stood up immediately: "Let me clarify, what Director Feng said is too exaggerated. My actual words at that time were, 'Uncle Feng, pay back the money quickly! ’”
After everyone was stunned for a moment, they burst into laughter again.
I thought he would clarify that this was not the case, but I didn’t expect that he just replaced ‘Feng Xiaogang’ with ‘Uncle Feng’. What, do you think you are polite?
Soon, the topic turned to Wu Zhenyu.
“I play a killer from Hong Kong in the play.”
Wu Zhenyu in real life is not very talkative and answers questions very simply.
"I heard that this role was originally offered to Liu Tianwang, but Liu Tianwang rejected it." A reporter in the audience suddenly asked.
Zhang Chen was a little annoyed. They had actually considered this question and someone would definitely ask it, so they specially arranged for one of their own to raise it at the right time.
Now that this guy is interfering, all the arrangements are in vain.
But the question is raised and must be answered.
Zhang Chen took the microphone from Ning Hao, "I will answer this question."
After there was a slight silence below, Zhang Chen said: "We did find King Liu Tianwang at first, but he was afraid of trouble and refused, so we found Wu Zhenyu, who is more suitable."
"Wow~"
< br>Chaos immediately followed. Reporters familiar with Zhang Chen knew that Zhang Chen was preparing to cause trouble again.
“Why is Wu Zhenyu more suitable than Liu Tianwang?” A reporter immediately asked.
"Isn't this obvious? Everyone has watched "Infernal Affairs 2". Ni Yongxiao, portrayed by Wu Zhenyu, can be called the Chinese version of the godfather. It is more than enough to win an Academy Award. Isn't that enough? ”
"But the best actor at the Academy Awards that year was Liu Tianwang, not Wu Zhenyu." It was really a bit of a joke.
“I can only say that Wu Zhenyu did not win the Academy Award for Best Actor, not because of his acting skills.”
“Then you mean to say that there is a shady secret behind the Academy Awards?”< br>
"Okay, let's not discuss this issue anymore."
Zhang Chen doesn't want to talk about the ownership of the Academy Award Best Actor anymore, it has nothing to do with him.
And anyone who knows a little bit knows that of all the film festivals in the world, none can be truly fair and just.
"Okay, please ask some questions related to the movie. Try not to mention anything irrelevant~" Liu Yiwei was also trying to smooth things over, but no one listened to him at all. They were still asking their own questions.
He swore that the celebration banquet he hosted today was the worst he had ever hosted.
Not only did the celebration party turn into a launch conference for the new movie, the scene was also somewhat out of control.
As a host, this kind of scene is very uncomfortable.
But there is always a strange person among reporters. He asked a question related to "Stones", but it seemed to have nothing to do with "Stones".
"May I ask Director Zhang? Hong Kong director Eric Tsang publicly stated yesterday that "Crazy Stone" will definitely hit the streets. The reason is that a commercial film actually uses an all-Mainland cast. He said that mainland filmmakers are fundamentally incompetent in commercial films. I can’t play...”
In the chaos, someone asked this question, and then the scene suddenly became quiet.
Even Liu Yiwei didn’t know how to smooth things over.
What the hell, Chi Guoguo is discriminating against the mainland.
Not only the reporters, but also the guests present were looking forward to it. They were looking forward to Zhang Chen saying something and rubbing the nerves of those people together.
Zhang Chen did not expect this situation. After thinking for a moment, he first raised the microphone and said to the creators behind him: "I'm sorry, everyone, please step down first. I'm afraid the situation today is impossible. Let’s continue promoting the movie.”
Everyone also understood the current situation and stepped down one after another.
Zhang Chen then raised the microphone and pointed it down: "Since we have talked about this today, let's just talk openly, but first, I want to know what else they said?"
I know with my butt that those guys can’t just say that.
The people in Hong Kong are very purposeful in what they do.
Since you are slandering "Crazy Stone", how can you just say one sentence and stop talking.
Sure enough, reporters broke the news one after another.
"Zeng Zhiwei said that there is no freedom of speech in the mainland. "Hancheng Raiders" is just normal movie promotion. It has been interpreted as a malicious slander attack. This is a setback for press freedom."
This statement is outrageous. Chen saw it in the newspaper.
Immediately, other reporters followed: "He also said that you don't know how to make movies. You said that the story of "Hancheng Raiders" is very cliché, but he said that he had also directed the same type of "The Best Partner", so It is the first movie in Hong Kong's history to gross over HK$20 million. It's not that the movie is not good, but that you don't understand..."
"Are there any others?"
"Yes, Wu Yusen also said that "Hancheng Raiders" is a seriously underestimated film. The reason why it is in today's situation is completely the result of deliberate targeting. He said that you are just a horror film director and don't understand spy films at all... ..."
The reporters chattered for a long time, and Zhang Chen said quietly: "Okay, everyone has said a lot, and I roughly understand the following points:
One. Mainlanders can't handle commercial films.
Second, we slandered them, and there was no personal attack in "Hancheng Strategy" at all. Third, I am just a horror film director. I don’t understand spy films at all, so I don’t deserve to criticize “Hancheng Raiders”.
Is it these three points? "
Seeing the people below nodding one after another, Zhang Chen spoke again: "Okay, now that the questions have been sorted out, I will answer them one by one. ”
Zhang Chen had a smile on his face, but the reporters below were faintly excited.
Zhang Chen is causing trouble again!
Zhang Chen did not disappoint them and began to speak freely.
“I have heard some of these arguments before, and some I just heard today.
I didn’t want to respond at first. In my opinion, these are just a few Losers. It’s just a nonsense, there’s no need to take it seriously
But since everyone cares about it, I’ll just talk about it briefly.”
After a pause, Zhang Chen continued: "Whether it is Eric Tsang or Wu Yusen, they cannot represent Hong Kong, nor can they represent Hong Kong filmmakers.
The reason why these guys are barking is because they still feel that they are superior, and they still Living in the fairy tale of 'Oriental Hollywood'.
Come on, what time is it now? Hong Kong movies have long since declined. Without the mainland market, they can't even support themselves now.
Still 'Oriental Hollywood'?
Hollywood is conquering cities all over the world, but Hong Kong is just blind.
Why do so many Hong Kong filmmakers go north collectively? Do we need them? No, they need us.
Without the mainland market, they can’t even eat.
To say that we mainlanders can't handle commercial films, I think this argument is deliberately spread by Hong Kong filmmakers with ulterior motives. The purpose is to confuse us and make us feel that we are really not good at it.
We can’t do it, but you can?
"Hero", "House of Flying Daggers", "Shark Beach", "A World Without Thieves" and "Kung Fu", among the billion-dollar movies that have come out in recent years, only one "Kung Fu" was created by Hong Kong filmmakers , and as far as I know, Zhou Xingxing is also a different kind of person among you, and is the object of rejection by everyone.
I'll just put it here, "Crazy Stone" is just a commercial film. I'll beat you up. If you don't accept it, I'll fight. "
After Zhang Chen finished speaking, the media collectively climaxed.
Zhang Chen ignored them and continued to have fun.
" Let’s talk about personal attacks.
The Hong Kong media has been exaggerating, saying that Director Ning Hao was able to direct "Black 2" because of his relationship with me, a fellow countryman. They turned a blind eye to Director Ning Hao's own talent, and instead used all kinds of slander and abuse. These are not considered personal attacks. ?
Is this what you mean by freedom of speech?
If you say yes, then fine, I will be free here too.
Based on my visual inspection of Mr. Zeng Zhiwei, I think the title "Three-inch Dinggu Tree Bark" suits Mr. Zeng Zhiwei very well, or I can just call you "Zeng Dalang" from now on.
In this regard, I would like to ask Mr. Zeng Zhiwei, what do you think? ”
Puff~
Hearing "Three Inches of Dinggu Tree Bark", the audience burst into laughter.
Any Chinese who has watched TV will probably know that this nickname is used to describe sleeping.
However, Zeng Zhiwei's figure... is not very slender, but his appearance... is very majestic. It is quite similar to the image of the "three-inch Dinggu tree bark", which makes people laugh.
Whether they are guests or reporters, everyone has a weird smile on their face.
Zhang Chen is too brave to say this.
And his mind is clear.
How did you come up with the idea of describing Zeng Zhiwei as "three inches of Dinggu tree bark"? Don't tell me, it really looks like it~
Fortunately, Zeng Zhiwei was not at the scene today, so they could laugh as much as they wanted. Otherwise it would be so uncomfortable to hold it in.
“Let me say something more about Mr. Wu Yusen’s comment that I don’t understand movies. I said before that these are just losers moaning unnecessarily. This is not an insult, but a fact.
What do you think about Wu Yusen? What is Yusen?
A big Hollywood director?
Wrong.
He has long been unable to survive in Hollywood.
Why did he return to China?
Do you think he is returning home from wealth?
no.
Because he screwed up "Windtalkers" and "Memory Crack" one after another in Hollywood, no one in Hollywood dared to look for him to make movies anymore.
His reputation has long been ruined, so he had to return to Hong Kong. ”
Wow~~
Now the people below are boiling.
They really don't know this.
The mainland is still relatively closed to news from the United States.
The news that Wu Baige was on the street has not spread widely in China. People's impression of him still remains as the successful director who made "Mission: Impossible 2" in the United States.
“Don’t think of him as being so lofty. When he makes a movie, he only uses three tools: find a church, release a few peace doves, and then shoot the release and all action scenes in slow motion.
< br>You can try it out on a DV when you go back and film it to see if it is the so-called Wu Yusen-style violent aesthetics.”
Haha~
Someone below couldn't help laughing, and Zhang Chen also laughed.
“Look, making a movie is very easy, and being a director is also very easy. Maybe in a few years, anyone can be a director.”
No one knows that Zhang Chen is When God prophecies, just think he is joking.
Zhang Chen suddenly felt blessed: "By the way, didn't he say that I don't understand spy movies? Well, I will make a spy movie in the next one, and I will teach these great directors about agents. How should the film be shot? ”
Hoho~
Everyone had a premonition that today's celebration banquet was probably over, but before it ended, Zhang Chen released another big satellite for them.
