Chapter 361 I Also Like Photography

"Teacher Chen can nominate for Best Actor!"

After walking out of the theater, Zhao Linhai sighed...

Zhao Xin has a different view: "With this kind of character setting, anyone with a little bit of acting skills can handle it well... I can only say that he was lucky and came across a good script!"

"...Lao Si's book is indeed good, but the director seems to have nothing to do with the main plot..."

"He is trying to satirize the so-called essence of gangsters..."

"No wonder...Hey, have you read the newspaper? How do you evaluate this movie?"

Zhao Xin shook his head: "I'm busy writing the script...what about you?"

Zhao Linhai also shook his head: "I'm busy too... "Happy Heroes" has been adapted into a unit drama. There are six units, and two of them have to be original... I'm looking for information..."

"...There is a Baoting Pavilion over there, let's go take a look?"

"Walk!"

The two of them walked quickly to Baoting, picked up a newspaper at random, and turned to the entertainment section. The front page was "Cruel Streets, a Unique Gangster Movie":

“Two and a half hours covers many labels: gangsters, violence, romance, friendship, betrayal, sadness, life.

This film depicts a real underworld situation: there are no eternal brothers, only eternal interests and use. Everyone is trapped in an endless cycle of violence and betrayal, with no exit. "

"The first gangster film written by Shen Xudong seems to emphasize authenticity, but I can see a kind of romance. But the price of romance is to be buried on a snowy night... very cruel..."

Seeing this, Zhao Xin put down the newspaper in his hand: "What do you say?"

"Praise...you can tell just by looking at the title."

Zhao Linhai handed over the "BJ Morning News" in his hand, and Zhao Xin took a look - "The Sad Streets"...

Just look at the title and you’ll know the general content…

"...It seems there is no problem with word-of-mouth!"

"Well... I'll probably take a look and write a movie review when I get back..."

…

In terms of reputation, "Cruel Street" really has no problem!

Shen Xudong and the publicity team of the crew can also feel it. The one who feels the most is probably Teacher Chen!

Teacher Chen and Yu Wenzhen debuted at about the same time...

Well, in fact, Teacher Chen, Yu Wenqi, Xie Tingfeng, Daniel Wu and Feng Delun are all a group of niche students who emerged after Ekin Cheng. Now, many people say that in terms of temperament and acting skills, Teacher Chen is the most outstanding and the most promising. It's a pity that it was destroyed in the "Photography Exhibition".

In fact, the Hong Kong media at this time are more optimistic about Yu Wenxuan, thinking that he is more suitable to be an actor...

But what do you want to say about Yu Wenxue's performance?

I can’t even tell…

Teacher Chen obviously cares about the media's evaluation, and has been holding back his energy to prove himself.

"Brutal Street" is a good example of this.

Because most of the media is praising it.

Of course, the interviews and promotions were mainly focused on Mr. Chen. When asked if he had communicated with Shen Xudong, he said: "I called him to ask him about the background of this character, because I don't really understand what this character carries..."

"At first I spoke Mandarin, but my Mandarin was too bad, so I just spoke English..."

“His English is excellent!”

Of course, they also asked about what it was like to work with Gillian again.

"It feels good, we haven't worked together for almost two years..."

"We are just good friends, we are not dating!"

Of course, Shen Xudong is also the focus of media interviews. Who made him speak arrogantly before, and even fired a map cannon in the movie?

"From a creative perspective, Hong Kong's gangster movies have strong entertainment attributes and emphasize "loyalty". In the underworld, "justice" defeats evil, which is too idealistic..."

"Hong Kong gangster films, such as "The Cripple", "A Better Tomorrow", "The Emperor of Shanghai", "Young and Dangerous" series, etc. have extremely binary standards of moral judgment. If you respect loyalty, you are good, and if you don't, you are bad. The protagonist You don't need to go through too much inner struggle. You just need to simply protect the good people and kill the bad people, and you can grow bigger step by step. In the end, you will either retire from the world or go to jail according to the trend of the times. The logic is a bit too simple.

This is because in the early years of Hong Kong's film industry, most of it was controlled by gangsters. The latter tried to break into the mainstream and always loved to beautify and elevate themselves. "

"Of course, there are also excellent works, such as "Prison" and "School", which can better show the obscene side of gangsters and reflect the tragic situation of ordinary people's lives being penetrated at that time."

"Actually, I have always believed that an excellent film and television work should not have correct values, but be good-looking. From this perspective, Hong Kong gangster films are pretty good!"

"But now is the Internet era. We say that creation should keep pace with the times. Now we are still praising gangster loyalty. No audience will believe it..."

"That's why I say that the essence of gangster movies has changed..."

…

Publicity means cooperating with the media’s questions. No matter how weird the media’s questions are or how much you don’t want to answer them, you still have to be patient…

Because your movie is counting on them to cover and promote the movie!

Shen Xudong is very patient, and in his opinion, Teacher Chen is also quite patient.

Not the bad-tempered person in the media legend...

Shen Xudong had only contacted him on this mobile phone before, but met him in person...

It's quite exciting - Teacher Chen is the only star in the industry who treats the audience as one of his own. He eats meat himself and doesn't forget to let everyone feast their eyes and drink some soup!

I have an audience in my heart...

What does virtue and art mean? This is it.

It is said that Teacher Chen is very fashionable both in appearance and dress. He wears a lapel shirt and a light-colored sweater. He has a slim figure and handsome eyebrows.

Especially when he smiles, the corners of his mouth are pulled at a slanted angle, making him appear even more careless.

Bad boys are the most attractive to women!

Teacher Chen is also observing Shen Xudong...

Shen Xudong has a caliper head, a white shirt and jeans, and is nearly 1.85 meters tall...

The first impression is very handsome!

Shen Xudong took the initiative to say hello and extended his hand: "Edison, we finally meet."

Teacher Chen hugged him directly: "Writer Shen... I didn't expect you to be so young!"

"I'm 21..."

"I'm four years older than you!"

"But if you come to BJ, I'm sure to entertain you... and I'll take you to eat good food later!"

"...BJ is delicious? Roast duck?"

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "BJ is not just about roast duck... fried noodles, boiled mutton, sheep scorpion, fried milk goat cake, donkey rolling... By the way, I will take you to drink a bowl of bean juice first!"

The accompanying staff immediately reminded: "...We only have one hour to eat, and we are going to the airport soon...The next stop is Shanghai..."

"Yeah... let's eat whatever we want."

Teacher Chen: "...If you don't have time, you can go to McDonald's!"

"It's too late..."

Shen Xudong waved his hand and took Teacher Chen and director Zheng Baorui to find a nearby beef noodle restaurant: "Let's go ahead and eat some... Waiter, three portions..."

After ordering the dishes, Shen Xudong asked Zheng Baorui: "Why is Teacher Chen the only one here? Where is Gillian?"

"...She is preparing for a concert in Singapore and has no time..."

"The Emperor is really cheating!"

It's nothing more than "Cruel Streets", Emperor has no investment... Otherwise, how could the heroine disappear at this juncture?

With his face up, Teacher Chen looked at Shen Xudong and suddenly said: "I heard that Writer Shen also likes to take pictures?"

"...Well, I mainly take pictures of scenery and stuff!"

"Then we can exchange skills...I also like photography!"
