Chapter 766 Press Conference
It was after eight o'clock in the morning, and the ATV press conference room was packed.
Many reporters who arrived late could only stand in corners or open spaces, but they didn't care, as long as they could set up a camera or video camera.
What caused such a prosperous situation was the news released by ATV last night, saying that Wei Xiaofan and Lin Qingxia will star together in a TV series written by Yin Jun!
Wei Xiaofan! ?
Lin Qingxia! ?
When all the entertainment reporters heard the news, they only had two words in their hearts.
Damn it!
ATV is so awesome!
Lin Qingxia has been away from the entertainment industry for almost a year. Although she starred in Cheng Long's new film with Teresa Teng in the United States, it was too far away from Hong Kong and not very real at all.
This time ATV was able to recruit Lin Qingxia. I am afraid that apart from the fact that the script was written by Yin Jun, they did not know how much effort they put in. The high pay was absolute, and they did not know how many favors were involved.
This is especially true for Wei Xiaofan.
After starring in "Bao Qingtian" and "The Legend of Bao Zheng", he quit the entertainment industry and returned to the mainland to get married and have children. He didn't care at all about the prosperity of Hong Kong and the glory of the entertainment industry.
During this period, film and television businessmen from Hong Kong and even Singapore called Wei Xiaofan and offered him high prices to come back and star in movies or TV series, but they were unwilling.
When encountering such a person who doesn't love money or fame, there is nothing we can do.
Everyone knew that Wei Xiaofan had been back to Xiangjiang for a while, and they thought he was here to visit friends and go abroad like last time.
Unexpectedly, it was ATV that persuaded him to come back and star in a TV series.
It is definitely not the main credit of ATV. It is definitely Yin Jun who played a big role in bringing Wei Xiaofan back to film. Who doesn't know that the two of them are best friends?
The same is true for ATV. Who doesn't know that Qiu Degen is Yin Jun's uncle Qiu, who helped support Yin Jun when he was in his decline?
At nine o'clock in the morning, as the emcee came on stage and coughed a few times, the reporters below quickly stopped and stared at both sides of the news desk.
They didn't wait long. The emcee looked around for a week, then smiled and said loudly: "Welcome all journalists and friends to our ATV. I believe you already know the content of today's press conference. I won't say more now. Please invite Mr. Zhong Jinghui, the vice president of ATV, please invite Mr. Liu Jiahao, the producer of ATV, please invite the famous international movie star Miss Lin Qingxia, and please invite our Mr. Bao - Mr. Wei Xiaofan!"
Following his introduction, a group of people walked up to the front desk from behind.
When the reporters saw the familiar figures of Lin Qingxia and Wei Xiaofan, the cameras in their hands immediately started buzzing with the click of the shutter as if the film was free of charge.
Until Wei Xiaofan and the others sat down, the dazzling spotlight made everyone unable to open their eyes.
"Let me tell you, you guys want to blind me and Qingxia so that we can't film a TV series, right?" Wei Xiaofan smiled and said into the microphone, "That's it, otherwise we won't be able to start filming the drama, and ATV will have to Kick you out!"
"hehe……"
A group of reporters laughed. They had almost finished taking pictures just now, and the frequency of pressing the shutter button was obviously much lower. Basically, only the camera was left spinning.
Seeing that they were at peace, Zhong Jinghui next to him smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, thank you all for coming today. I think you all know that our ATV held a press conference today to prepare for the launch of a very important TV series. This man and woman The protagonists are already sitting in front of everyone. They are Qingxia and Xiaofan.
Let me give you a brief introduction first. The name of this drama is "Senior Sister Tuoqiang". It is a TV series specially prepared by Jun Shao for ATV, a police TV series. Some people may want to ask, didn't Kylin TV's "Brother Xin Zha" just finish its hit broadcast? Why is it that you are about to star in a police drama? Can this compare with Tony Leung Chaowei?
This is actually different. When we are preparing, we are not heading towards anyone, but we just want to concentrate on making a good play. It happened that Master Jun said something to Uncle Qiu. This was the reason why he ordered to organize such a huge lineup! To be honest, when I heard that Qingxia and Xiaofan were starring in this drama, my first reaction was, no, is this going to be made at a loss? "
The reporter below laughed again.
Indeed, when they heard the news, they were equally surprised and felt that ATV was crazy.
It is really difficult for Lin Qingxia and Wei Xiaofan to appear in a TV series now, and they appear at the same time. Such a lineup is probably only comparable to Zhao Yazhi and Zhou Runfa, Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi.
But even Kylin TV and ATV, which have deep pockets, may rarely have one such big production in a year.
After all, the production cost is too high, and not every TV series can afford just the salaries of these superstars.
Therefore, it is basically difficult for the two pairs of stars mentioned above to get together again, let alone find Lin Qingxia, who has gone to the film industry, and Wei Xiaofan, who has already quit the entertainment industry.
But at this moment, their hearts were more attracted by another sentence Zhong Jinghui just said.
What did Yin Jun say to Qiu Degen that made Qiu Degen, who had always been stingy, make such a big move?
Zhong Jinghui did not put too much emphasis on it: "What Mr. Jun said is actually very simple. He said, 'If it is done well, "Senior Sister Tuoqiang" will be even more powerful than "Senior Brother Xinzha"."
Everyone gasped unconsciously.
What kind of movie is "Brother Xin Zha"?
A rare super drama last year!
If it weren't for the two super dramas "Huo Yuanjia" and "Chen Zhen", it would be the super drama with the highest ratings.
Moreover, even if the first two dramas are very popular, neither Huang Yuanshen nor Liang Xiaolong can compare with Tony Leung Chaowei's fame with "Brother Xin Zha".
Liang Chaowei's fame is now so popular that he is as famous as Zheng Shaoqiu, Zhou Runfa, and Huang Yuan. The top students at that time, Wu Weiguo and Liu Songren, are both inferior.
There is no way, Tony Leung's character is so likable and close to life. Compared with TV series from decades ago, it is naturally easier for Hong Kong audiences to like it.
It’s not just Hong Kong audiences who like him. When Tony Leung went to Southeast Asia this time, his popularity was second only to Zhou Runfa. In the absence of Zhou Runfa, he was the undisputed number one. Many girls were chasing him like crazy. , if it is reported on TV, it will make people feel surprised and funny.
"Sister Tuoqiang" is a TV series that is told from a female perspective as soon as you hear it. Is it better than "Sister Tuoqiang" or better than Liang Chaowei Hong?
There are not many popular movies and TV series with female protagonists in Xiangjiang!
"Look, you don't believe it either!" Zhong Jinghui smiled, "But in the end, we still believed it. Not only Uncle Qiu, but Brother Xi, me, Jiahao, the two protagonists... all the staff believed it! Because , the person who said this is the biggest miracle and the most outstanding genius in the history of our Xiangjiang - Yin Jun!"
Zhong Jinghui said these words very domineeringly, but no one showed disdain on their faces.
In Xiangjiang, you can question many aspects of Yin Jun, but no one dares to say that the TV series and movies produced by Yin Jun are not good. No one dares to say that anyone can be better than Yin Jun in scriptwriting, because that is impossible. !
"Okay, I know you are not very interested in me, an old man. Now you can start asking questions from reporters. The producer and the two leading actors will answer your questions, but each person can only ask one question!" Zhong Jinghui Very satisfied with their expressions, while speaking, he turned to the master of ceremonies and nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was no need for the emcee to remind him, and a forest of hands stretched out from underneath.
The first reporter called by the emcee stood up excitedly, "Hello, Mr. Bao! I am Wang Bensheng, a reporter from the Hong Kong Economic Journal. Why did you come back to Xiangjiang to film? Is it because of Mr. Jun's invitation or because of the high-ranking reporter?" What's the salary? In addition, we would like to know how you are living in the Mainland? Compared with Xiangjiang, does the Mainland have many shortcomings?"
The host quickly stopped: "Journalist, you asked too many questions and violated the rules, so..."
Before he finished speaking, Wei Xiaofan shook his hand at him, "Forget it, since he is the first to ask the question, we can definitely give him some preferential treatment! ... You are right, when I return to Xiangjiang, of course Ah Jun's invitation and ATV's high salary. In this world, there is nothing embarrassing about making money based on one's own work. As for the mainland you mentioned, I feel that without investigation, I have no right to speak, and what I say does not count. . You can definitely go to the mainland to take a look and compare Xiangjiang with the mainland."
Zhong Jinghui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He thought Wei Xiaofan would get angry when faced with such a tricky question, but he didn't expect him to be so sophisticated in his words and actions.
Wang Bensheng was really dissatisfied with Wei Xiaofan doing Tai Chi like this, but in order to prevent him from causing trouble, the emcee immediately motioned to the people next to him to take away his microphone, "The second person to ask questions...the lady in the back row on the left."
The female reporter immediately took the microphone, stared at Lin Qingxia and said: "Ms. Lin, it is said that you are trapped in love, so you don't dare to go back to the treasure island, so you can only come to Xiangjiang to film. Is this true?"
Zhong Jinghui's face immediately darkened, and he glared at the emcee fiercely, indicating who you chose!
The host couldn't help but wanted to cry. This is not what I thought, boss.
If it were Lin Qingxia half a year ago, she would definitely not be able to adapt to such tricky questions.
But now that she has been accompanied by her relatives and regained the joy of her eldest sister's family, her mentality has become very good, at least when she is not directly facing Qin Han and Qin Xianglin.
"After so many years of debut, I am tired, so I prefer to relax in the United States." Lin Qingxia chuckled, "But if there is a role for me, I have to eat, right? So I saw that the script looked good, so I came over . If Baodao had an equally good script, I would definitely take it!"
Seeing Lin Qingxia doing Tai Chi like this, the reporters suddenly became bored.
I heard that Lin Qingxia was not like this in Baodao before. She was easily provoked to get angry and cry in public. Why is she so calm now?
The third reporter asked slowly, "Qingxia, I heard that Jun Shao appointed you for this drama. Do you think there is anything special about working with Jun Shao? He is a star who has fascinated countless female stars. A genius boy!"
Lin Qingxia smiled unconsciously, "I will try this out when I see Mr. Yin Jun later. But I don't seem to be as pretty as his girlfriend, Miss Guan Zhilin, right?"
The next fourth reporter finally called someone from Kylin TV, "Brother Fan, you are finally back! Are you going to stay in Xiangjiang this time? We all miss you!"
"No." Wei Xiaofan shrugged, "Don't you know? Ajun also does some charity work in the Mainland, and I am basically doing it. I think it would be fun to help others more, and my wife I’m about to give birth, so I’ll probably take care of my family in the mainland next!”
"Ms. Lin, I heard that you are the heroine with the most roles in Jun Shao's drama. In addition to Mr. Zhong's statement just now, do you feel any pressure?" The fifth reporter asked, which was more orthodox. Some.
"There will still be pressure." Lin Qingxia nodded, "Most of the movies I film are literary and artistic films. I have never filmed in Hong Kong. I have to adapt to many habits here. Therefore, I will work with you next time. When we meet with Mr. Yin Jun, we will ask him for some advice on the settings of the characters in the play. I hope that the film will not disappoint everyone!"
"Producer Liu Jiahao, you have done a lot of hard work on the urban melodrama "Hong Kong 81 to Hong Kong 86", and the ratings are quite good. However, this time, facing such a heavy task and having such a strong lineup, you You are not the first producer of ATV, so why did you choose to do this drama? Are you afraid of ruining the classic?"
The sixth reporter's question made Liu Jiahao so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
Damn, I’m not a newbie after all, okay?
Shouldn’t I make a good TV series?
But among the few people present, he is indeed the least famous. The reporters look down on him, and this is not intentional.
While swearing that he must become famous, Lau Jiahao forced a smile on his face: "Perhaps my style is most suitable for this kind of urban police and gangster film! After all, Mai is good at making big scenes, and Xiaoming likes to do Republican and Chinese dramas. But everyone Maybe you don’t know, but it was my idea to let Xiao Fan come over to play the leading role. After talking to Jun Shao, he greatly praised my vision, which prompted Xiao Fan to come to Hong Kong.
I dare not say how well I can do it, but I will definitely do it conscientiously. Xiao Sheng, the producer of "Brother Xin Zha", is a senior I admire very much. Mr. Tony Leung is also an excellent actor who brings Zhang Weijie to life. But I am confident that I can film the TV series Jun Shao to the most satisfactory level. The rest is up to the audience to test. "
