Chapter 359 Controversy
Click on the computer, enter Teacher Chen's name, and Gillian will pop up immediately...
Not that kind of picture!
There are some ambiguous reports, like the two are dating, and there is also an interesting report that "Edison Chen and Yu Wenxi won the battle for beauty"...
It’s about the time when Teacher Chen and Yu Wenzhen almost got into a fight at the 2002 Top Ten Golden Songs Awards Ceremony.
Gee, this is still a series!
Suddenly I understood why "Cruel Street" was a hit on the first day...
Audiences attracted by scandals!
Among celebrity hype routines, scandal hype should be the most common method.
In order to create hype, many stars form a cast for a movie, spread scandals when they don't agree with each other, and then hype them up again by clarifying the scandals.
This method has been tried and tested and is very attractive to the audience.
Teacher Chen and Gillian are both representatives of the new generation in Hong Kong...
The scandal between the two can easily dominate the entertainment headlines and also promote the movie.
Let me briefly talk about Teacher Chen. Teacher Chen’s initial glory came from the hard support of “capital” for making music!
However, his continued development is still not as good as that of Hsieh Ting Feng and Eason Chan, and he has no breakthrough songs.
Fortunately, Xie Tingfeng missed the casting of "Infernal Affairs" because of the over-the-top contract, leaving the resources to Teacher Chen and Yu Wenzhu.
Mr. Chen failed to make any breakthroughs in music, so his focus shifted to the film field. He has gained a certain reputation with his participation in works such as "Infernal Affairs" and "Jianghu"...
Last year, I collaborated with Xie Tingfeng on "Brother Xin Zha", which got a good reputation.
However, he is still very popular - the kind of person who can be invited by a fan to star in "Seven Hours of Time" with a lot of money...
Fans in the past knew how to chase stars. If they liked you, they would spend money to make a movie with you!
It's not like now, when idols are worshiped as gods in the sky...
…
Before the release of "Cruel Streets", Shen Xudong did not participate much in the promotion and only wrote an article on the source of creation on his blog.
“I believe that when mentioning Hong Kong gangster movies, the first thing many people think of is the Young and Dangerous series!
"Young and Dangerous" promotes pornographic violence and teaches bad children. These words have been repeated many times, so I won't say more. It is difficult to clear up this point - "Young and Dangerous" tells the story of gangsters who rise to power. What do they rely on? Superior? Of course, kill people!
If you think about it carefully, the positive characters in the film are Da Fei, who runs porn magazines, Han Bin, who runs gambling, and Thirteen Sisters, who organizes prostitution.
It seems that Hong Xing's sense of justice is only reflected in not selling drugs and showing loyalty...
I think gangster movies should be more realistic. Hong Kong gangster movies emphasize "loyalty" and "justice" defeats evil in the underworld. It is too idealistic to interpret...The essence of gangsters is a small social group with a structure for the purpose of seeking benefits. . "
"The sole purpose of forming a gang is to gain profits for themselves. They are selfish and harm the interests of others to satisfy their own desires. I don't understand why so many gangster movies in Hong Kong focus on the morality of the world... Later I studied Hong Kong film history. Then I learned that many gangsters themselves also invest in movies... Then of course they want to beautify themselves through movies..."
"According to my understanding, only when the white gangsters need dirty gloves can the underworld have room to grow!"
"With this mentality, I wrote "Cruel Streets", and after director Chen Musheng recommended it, Jiahe liked it very much and decided to shoot it. Thank you Jiahe for taking it seriously..."
"Now that it's about to be released, I hope everyone can watch it and point out its shortcomings..."
Of course, there is definitely more to the whole article than just these. Quoting these is enough. The lines are full of disdain for Hong Kong gangster movies!
As long as it's for "Young and Dangerous"...
It attracted a lot of media coverage.
Many people refute Shen Xudong's point of view and think that the "Young and Dangerous" series is fine.
For example, the big guys in the story either killed their whole families or retired from the world, and the protagonist could not escape being tortured in various ways, including the death of women and the death of brothers. The plot repeatedly emphasized that being a gangster would not end well. Later, I probably realized that the effect of this kind of education was not good. , let's just start talking about Chen Haonan's teaching part: "Look at his majesty, have you ever thought about the suffering behind him..."
'A movie is just a movie. Those who want to kill people after watching Young and Dangerous will still kill people after watching Tom and Jerry...'
…
"...There is nothing wrong with the film, but it should be strictly included in the 18-year-old ban. For adults with independent thinking ability and certain social experience, there is basically no harm in it. Just watch it and know that it is just an exaggerated and beautified scene. ;
But for ignorant teenagers in the rebellious stage, this is a disaster. For young people’s worldview, its misleading and confusing power is much more serious than pornography! "
To promote a movie, you have to face the media. Shen Xudong still insists on criticizing "Young and Dangerous": "For teenagers, they can't understand the point of no return in these plots. They can only see the gangsters." of majesty.”
"The movie is still very provocative!"
"Of course, this thing has nothing to do with the movie itself, because "Young and Dangerous" was actually a Category III film in Hong Kong. After it was spread to the mainland, with the popularity of pirated discs, many teenagers watched it..."
""Cruel Streets" prefers realism. The male protagonist comes from a poor family and kills his immediate eldest brother in order to gain power. It's a pity that the same story happened to the male protagonist."
"The investors have already said that the so-called loyalty of gangsters is just a glorification of the movie... let's stop this topic!"
In fact, everyone knows that the "Young and Dangerous" series has indeed harmed many people, but it is a film banned from being released under the order of the General Administration...
Since the General Administration gave the order, it must be wrong... Just object!
Diode thinking exists now and in the future!
Fortunately, the media shifted the topic to Teacher Chen.
Asked about casting ideas.
Shen Xudong told the truth: "I set the male lead in the drama to be around thirty years old. Mr. Chen is still too young... But there is no way, there are no young actors around thirty years old in the Hong Kong film industry..."
"There are only a few of the new generation, and Teacher Chen was chosen by the director!"
"Dating...I don't know, I didn't go to the set during the filming..."
The interviewing media quickly asked: "You didn't go to the set, so if you encounter problems with the script..."
"You can make a phone call. What era is this?"
"...So what do you think of this collaboration?"
"It's okay. The producer and director respect me..."
Then some media asked: "You had a falling out with director Johnnie To? Can you elaborate?"
