Chapter 440: Controversy Brings Popularity (1/4 Extra Chapter for the New Leader Qian Xia Cheng Huan)
"This is An Xiaoxi, the heroine of our movie. Isn't she very beautiful?" Hao Yun introduced her to Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui.
An Xiaoxi may not need to break into the Hong Kong entertainment circle, but it will never hurt to make her familiar.
Maybe she will have the opportunity to win the Best Actress Award in the future.
"She is indeed very beautiful. I didn't expect that such a short time has passed and you are already releasing your second movie."
Liu Weiqiang really couldn't understand the meaning of Hao Yun's boasting and comparison.
The heroine of your movie is beautiful, why are you still proud?
"It's mainly because of the guidance and support of the seniors in the circle. If you hadn't opposed the opinions of many people at the beginning..." Hao Yun never forgot the well diggers.
"Haha, there is no opposition. Everyone is optimistic about you." Liu Weiqiang laughed.
"You are too busy. The gun club is about to expel you." Mai Zhaohui and Hao Yun are gun friends.
Hao Yun was introduced to guns by him.
Of course, expulsion is just a joke, and the rules are only used to restrain ordinary people.
The Gun Club has never asked Hao Yun to collect membership fees.
Just because Hao Yun, a well-known actor and director, is a senior member of the club, even the GG fee is saved.
"There is no way. The sense of crisis is too strong. I am afraid that people will say that Jiang Lang has run out of ideas." Hao Yun joked and entered the press conference with the two directors.
It is rare for the two to hold a press conference together.
After all, although the films are not released at the same time, there are still many competitive relationships. At least they will be compared.
Pulling and stepping on each other is inevitable.
The reason why this time it was able to take shape is mainly because the directors of both sides are familiar with each other. Hao Yun was praised by Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui, and the starring lineup overlaps, and because both producers have Lin Jianyue's Huanyu.
Boss Lin is here today.
He is upset that Hao Yun did not give Huanyu a copy of his new film.
Hao Yun had to make it clear that this was a movie made for the sake of winning awards, and the box office was worrying, which made Lin Jianyue calm down.
He still repeatedly stated that Hao Yun must find him next time he makes a movie.
The markets in Hong Kong and Taiwan are not doing well, but their capital has not weakened. On the contrary, due to the weakening of the domestic market, there is a lot of surplus funds with nowhere to go.
But they are not stupid, unlike coal bosses.
They will not invest recklessly after drinking two glasses of wine.
However, Hao Yun cannot always pull a bunch of capital to share the cake.
On the one hand, it will dilute their respective profits, and on the other hand, it is difficult for Hao Yun to develop in a short period of time.
This time, he wants to observe the box office of "Those Years".
It can also be regarded as a test of his business judgment ability.
If the box office of "Those Years" explodes, then next time he encounters such a movie, Hao Yun may only introduce two or three producers to join the game, and he will take the majority.
This is not eating alone. Letting a few people eat meat is more tempting than taking a group of people to drink soup. You only need to change partners frequently.
As the saying goes, rain and dew are shared equally.
"This is Yuwen Le..." Liu Weiqiang introduced Hao Yun.
Hao Yun's expression was a little strange. He and Yuwen Le met very few times and had little communication, but they knew each other's existence.
Because when "Infernal Affairs 2" was being prepared, many people opposed the use of mainlanders as the leading actors.
And Yuwen Le was the most popular candidate to replace Hao Yun as the leading actor.
And Yuwen Le was also very envious of this Hong Kong film that saved the market, and used a lot of connections to try to intercept it.
If Lin Jianyue and Liu Weiqiang had not insisted on using Hao Yun, "Infernal Affairs 2" should have been Yuwen Le's work.
In addition to Lin Jianyue and Liu Weiqiang, Chen Guanxi also played a big role.
He and Yuwen Le were almost at odds with each other because of women. When Chen Guanxi was asked for his opinion, he clearly showed his resistance to Yuwen Le.
Disharmony is disharmony, and they all fought.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, so Yuwen Le's defeat was not unjust.
However, Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui still took Yuwen Le with them after Hao Yun refused to play "Initial D".
He was given a supporting role as compensation.
There are not many young people in the Hong Kong film industry anymore, and you guys are still fighting over a woman.
In addition to Yuwen Le, Huang Qiusheng and Du Shaqiang are here.
These two people were the ones who supported Yuwen Le at the beginning.
Hao Yun greeted them, and their attitudes were much better than before.
Why are they arrogant before and humble now?
There is no way, the mainlander they once looked down on is now a director who can stand on equal footing with Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui.
This world is so magical.
Hao Yun, Zhou Jielun, and Chen Guanxi sat in the middle, and then on the left were people from Hao Yun's side, and on the right were people from "Initial D".
After the press conference started, everyone first talked about interesting things about the shooting.
Yuwen Le immediately felt that he was excluded.
Zhou Jielun and Chen Guanxi, the leading actors of "Initial D" who should have belonged to his side, chatted with Hao Yun enthusiastically, talking about the funny scenes when they were filming the wedding scene.
"Really, when they rushed towards me, I was so scared that my legs went weak." Jay Chou talked about how he was kissed by many people one after another.
Although that was just a show, the actors' acting skills were amazing.
Yu Wenle wanted to say, "You can drive 86 without your legs going weak, so why should your legs go weak?" Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to speak.
"I clearly saw Hao Yun kiss him." Chen Guanxi followed up.
"Don't talk nonsense, it was far away." Hao Yun hurriedly clarified.
"I also felt like I kissed him." Zhou Jielun added.
Dig a hole and bury some soil, count one, three, and five.
The audience and the media followed suit. Hao Yun, Zhou Jielun, and Chen Guanxi, the three of them co-starred in "Those Years", which was really a hot topic.
And they also held a three-person concert, "Those Years" autograph session.
It's really not comparable to "Initial D".
Zhou Jielun + Chen Guanxi, plus Yuwen Le, that's not only not a plus, but also a minus. There was almost no communication throughout the whole scene, and it didn't look like they had any friendship.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Chen Guanxi picked up a chair and fought with F4 for Zhou Jielun.
How could Zhou Jielun have a good relationship with Yuwen Le? After all, everyone knew that Yuwen Le and Chen Guanxi had a conflict.
He is actually a very loyal person.
For example, Huang Qiusheng, who played Jay Chou's father in "Initial D", has good acting skills and tries to please Jay Chou and Guanxi Chen, who are both in the limelight.
Jay Chou respects him quite a bit.
But once when he was drunk and talked about Hao Yun, he mocked Hao Yun for being a bumpkin when he first arrived in Hong Kong, and said that Hao Yun was promoted by Hong Kong people.
This angered Jay Chou and Guanxi Chen, and their relationship with Huang Qiusheng suddenly became much more distant.
Apart from filming, there was no more communication.
The first half was for the actors to communicate, the middle half was for the directors to talk about the actors and filming, and the second half was for media interviews.
The middle half was to promote the movie and the actors in the movie from the director's perspective.
Hao Yun is also one of the directors, and he revealed the difficulties encountered during filming and the efforts made by the actors for the movie.
"Edison's acting skills are underestimated. When he gets serious, no one in the younger generation of Hong Kong film industry can act better than him."
Hao Yun is also very loyal. In order to help his brother brag, he offended the younger generation of Hong Kong.
Wu Yanzu, Xie Tingfeng, Yuwenle, Chen Zuming, etc.
Especially Yuwenle. It would be fine if the other people were not present, but he was sitting here straight.
Hao Yun said this to him, really not giving him any face at all.
Slap, slap, it hurts so much.
"Yeah, Edison is a little too loose," Liu Weiqiang took over and said naturally: "But he has been a lot more serious in the past two years, and I hope he can reach a new height."
For directors like them, actors are just tools.
Yuwenle's face is not important at all. He can't refute Hao Yun for Yuwenle.
In addition, the event must provide enough topics for the media present today. Hao Yun's statement just now is a good entry point.
There is heat only when there is controversy.
