Chapter 277: Scolding again
"Phoenix Weekly" is a Hong Kong media. He came to the premiere today on a mission. He must make some news. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Director Zhang Chen, Why do I always feel that you are deliberately targeting Hong Kong filmmakers?"
"Why do you say that?" Zhang Chen looked at ease.
The reporter angrily said: "You once publicly belittled two outstanding filmmakers, Eric Tsang and Wu Yusen, refused Cheng Long's cooperation, and fell out with Hong Jinbao. Today, you criticized director Xu Ke again. The works show disdain..."
"Because of this?"
"Aren't these enough?"
"Well, I believe everyone here must have the same question, so I will give a unified reply."
After a pause, Zhang Chen continued: "Do you still remember what the two outstanding filmmakers Zeng Zhiwei and Wu Yusen you mentioned have done?"
The reporter was asked by Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen did not expect the other party to give an answer at all, and continued Zi Guzi said: "Why did Ning Hao insist on filming "Crazy Stone"? Is it because the Hong Kong media smeared him, saying that he was a connected person, and he was able to direct "Black 2" because of his relationship with me.
< br>Now let me ask you, how is the quality of "Crazy Stone"? We are promoting it to make you laugh this summer. Can we do it?"
The guests in the audience immediately cooperated and said in unison: "We did it~"
The reporter turned back in shock. He had a feeling that he seemed to be isolated.
"The two outstanding Hong Kong filmmakers you mentioned want to support "Korean City Strategy", no problem, we are all Hong Kong people, it is understandable.
But you It would be wrong to discredit Ning Hao.
"Stone" and "Seven Swords" are still competitors. Have you seen us targeting director Xu Ke personally?
What, because these two people have high status in the industry, can they bully a new director?
They can baselessly say that Ning Hao is a related person, and that "Crazy Stone" will definitely hit the streets, but I can't say that he is a three-inch Dinggu tree bark?
And that guy who came back from Hollywood, how are you doing in Hollywood? Don’t you have a clue? Are there any companies in Hollywood, big or small, that would dare to ask you to make a movie?
You are the only one who can make one of the top six Hollywood directors almost bankrupt.
How dare you say that I can’t make movies? Who gave him the courage, Liang Jingru?
For such a thing, Chengtian is still a treasure, and Chengtian's Wu Kebo is also blind.
Let me tell you, I was the one who slapped him in the face with "Taken". After filming "Mission: Impossible 2", I considered myself a master. I just wanted to teach him how to make spy movies. , the ones he took before were so low~"
Zhang Chen breathed a lot, and the guests below felt relaxed and happy.
It was so cool!
It’s so worth it to come here today!
Twenty years of infertility were cured for me.
Ning Hao, who was also standing on the stage, had his eyes a little red.
It is definitely false to say that the slander he has been receiving has no impact on him.
But at this time, there is someone who can stand up for him with a clear-cut stand and stand by his side, which is really touching.
If the location was not suitable, Ning Hao might have bowed his head and bowed: "Brother, I am willing to follow you to Liangshan!"
In the center of the stage, Dong Jianqiang quietly came up and whispered in a low voice: "Today's premiere will be broadcast, please take it easy~"
Zhang Chen gave him a 'reassured' look and continued... …
“In addition, I would like to emphasize that it is definitely wrong to say that I am targeting Hong Kong filmmakers. The leading actor in my 120 million-dollar film "Taken" is Hong Kong filmmaker Tony Leung Ka-fai, my favorite actor, no One, so I’m targeting some Hong Kong filmmakers at most.”
“Speaking of Cheng Long, I refused to cooperate with Brother Cheng Long simply because the role was not suitable. The male lead in "Hurricane Rescue" is Liang Jiahui. I would rather not film without him. This is not a matter of targeting, it is just a matter of casting.
As for Hong Jinbao, he left on his own, but even if he didn't, I would tell him to get out.
< br>
The martial arts team serves movies, and martial arts instructors don’t listen to the director. What do you want to do? I can’t make a movie without you?
As for his own "Slaying the Wolf", if he wants to compete in the ring, I welcome it~, but then don't say that I will use 120 million to bully you.
Actually, we are about to start filming an action film called "Kowloon Walled City", a collaboration with Emperor, with a brand new action style.
Action movies have always been the banner of Hong Kong movies, and we also want to see if we can capture the flag, haha~"
Zhang Chen said it with high spirits, and the reporter in the audience said His face turned dark, and if he hadn't been surrounded by a group of colleagues, he would have just walked away
Zhang Chen is not finished yet: "As for director Xu Ke and his "Seven Swords", who is targeting whom? It seems they are the ones who took the initiative to move the film to the same day, right?
But I like it very much, at least Xu The director has the courage to show his sword. I have accepted your challenge. "Crazy Stone" officially accepted the challenge. I also want to see if it is possible for a small budget to defeat the big production.
When I was working on "Dark Invasion". Failed, I want to try "Crazy Stone" again~
Hong Kong movies are not omnipotent. You are more experienced than us, but you are not completely superior to us.
If you really think of yourself as God, then I will knock you off the altar
In fact, I don't understand many things. Why can Hong Kong actors discriminate against mainland actors? Why should Hong Kong actors be given priority in everything?
As for Xiao Bailong, if he were on my crew, it would never happen. I would beat him until he calls him daddy.
Even if we work with Emperor, I still say the same thing, we will never work with actors like Nicholas Tse and Nick Cheung.
I don’t care if other people want to be a dog licker, but I don’t want to be a dog licker myself. That’s right, Ciwen Media, I’m talking about you..."
After Zhang Chen finished speaking, the scene was quiet. A few seconds passed, and then thunderous applause broke out.
Many people’s applause is sincere.
Although I don’t want to admit it, Hong Kong movies have been like a mountain weighing on mainland movies for a long time. No one appreciates good mainland scripts, but Hong Kong's bad movies never lack investment.
The roles in the play were chosen by Hong Kong actors before they were cast by mainland actors. This was because of the co-production. Without the co-production, mainland actors would not even be able to get supporting roles. arrive.
Even public opinion is the same. Hong Kong actors, both male and female, represent fashion, while mainland actors are synonymous with locality.
This kind of suppression is reflected in all aspects, almost everywhere, and even those who are not in the industry cannot feel it at all.
But everyone seems to be accustomed to it, and even if some want to resist, there is nothing they can do.
Now, Zhang Chen is equivalent to a moral defender, speaking out publicly. From now on, those companies, no, those licking dogs, will have to consider whether they will be scolded if they do this again.
This is what most people think. Some of them are already thinking about it. Zhang Chen is really smart at this. Ciwen Media, isn't that the producer of "Seven Swords"?
But who made him an investor in "Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wu Que"? It's not unfair for Zhang Chen to scold him.
"By the way, one last thing, "Taken" will be with you on November 1, so stay tuned~
Okay, today's premiere is over. We will prepare a dinner later. Dear guests and friends from the media, please move forward
Of course, we are not forcing you to go back and submit your manuscript. I want to ask you friends from the media that no matter how you write about today's premiere, please do it. Bring the words "Crazy Stone", and everyone will help you, for mutual benefit~"
"Hahaha, definitely~"
"Don't worry, Director Zhang, everyone We are all our own people, you provide us with materials, and we will definitely help promote the movie~"
"We won't eat anymore, but we will definitely help promote the movie~"
The scene was noisy and chaotic, and the guests were once again shocked that the premiere could still be such fun.
Zhang Chen knew that his rant today had somewhat stolen the limelight of the premiere, but as long as the media mentioned "Stone", it wouldn't be a loss.
After the premiere, the guests stood up to chat with Zhang Chen. Face recognition is a must. They have all come to stand in line, why don’t they deepen their impression.
The media were very excited and rushed back to write articles one by one. The guests also felt that they had gained a lot.
The obvious benefit is that we have a closer relationship with Zhang Chen. When we come here, we are siding with him. Do we need to take more care of him in the future?
There are even more hidden benefits. Many resources that were previously out of their reach may be available. Investors who were still hesitating whether to use mainland actors or Hong Kong actors will also give them opportunities.
......
The next day, as expected, Zhang Chen once again made the headlines of major entertainment pages.
[At the premiere of "Crazy Stone", Zhang Chen once again turned on the group mocking mode]
["Crazy Stone" is so crazy, Zhang Chen talks about the conflicts with Hong Kong filmmakers]
This is all just to gain traffic~
["Crazy Stone" director Ning Hao speaks out , I want to have a try with Director Xu Ke]
This is to foresee the angles of other media and find a new approach.
[Criticizing Eric Tsang, scolding Wu Yusen, teaching Hong Jinbao how to make action movies, Zhang Chen made a lot of nonsense at the premiere]
["Crazy Stone", "Hurricane Rescue" and "Kowloon Walled City", Star Entertainment uses these three movies to teach Hong Kong filmmakers how to make commercial films, spy films, action films...]
This is not a big deal Big ones.
Zhang Chen's last request had an effect, and "Crazy Stone" was basically mentioned in the reports issued by the media.
That's enough!
Hype is just an eyeball effect, constantly deepening people’s impressions, that’s enough.
On the contrary, the appearance rate of the "Seven Swords" premiere held at the Changsha International Convention and Exhibition Center yesterday was much lower.
Even if there is, it is not the headline.
The treatment is very different from that of "Stone".
……
Ciwen Media
Ma Zhongjun was furious when he saw the news in the newspaper, and even called himself a licker...
Did he lick it?
Is it...?
On the other side, Xu Ke's reaction was not that big, but he was actually quite interested in "Stones".
He knew about multi-line narratives, but he didn’t expect that a director from the Mainland would try this.
Old Monster Xu is always curious about new things.
