This was only announced yesterday, so not many media outlets came today.
If it had been announced a few weeks in advance, and if the fact that King Liu would be in the film had been leaked, the exhibition hall would probably not be able to accommodate so many people by now.
However, when those media entertainment reporters saw Liu Tianwang standing
When he was on stage, he was completely crazy.
Today's trip was totally worth it.
Afterwards, Chen Muyang briefly introduced the movie "Infernal Affairs" and began the question-and-answer session.
"May I ask why King Liu took on this script? 'Infernal Affairs,' a film about undercover cops and gangsters, doesn't seem to be very popular in the current market."
King Liu looked very serious: "I think Mu Yang's creation of "Infernal Affairs" is very exciting. To be honest, when he gave me this script, I didn't think much of it. I've filmed so many films of this type and I'm tired of it."
"But after reading the script of Infernal Affairs, I felt that all the roles I had played before were in vain. Infernal Affairs is the real undercover police film!"
"So, I agreed as soon as I read the script, and even brought my friends to join."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Tianwang for your answer. Then, Mr. Chen Muyang, what do you think of what Mr. Tianwang just said?"
Chen Muyang chuckled and said, "First of all, thank you, Lord Liu, for your approval of the script for 'Infernal Affairs.' Secondly, I completely agree with your opinion. Finally, I will play another leading role. Moreover, Lord Liu and I might be nominated for Best Actor at both the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Horse Awards this year."
"Haha, Mu Yang, what nonsense are you talking about? Can you please be more humble?" King Liu couldn't help laughing.
Although the characters in this film are portrayed perfectly, it remains to be seen how they will be performed.
Although he also thinks it will most likely win an award, but wouldn't it give people something to blame for making such a bold statement before the filming even started?
At this moment, he had already anticipated how the people present would write the news headlines after the press conference.
At this moment, the eyes of the reporters and media lit up when they heard this.
"Oh? Are you so sure, Mr. Chen? I heard you wrote, directed, and starred in the show yourself. Can you handle all of this?"
"Which media are you from? I just said maybe. Do you understand what maybe means?" Chen Muyang said to the reporter who asked the question.
"Mr. Chen, the box office of 'Big Fish and Begonia', which is currently in theaters, is estimated by professionals to be around 1.5 billion. Could you give us an estimate of the box office for 'Infernal Affairs'? Or, in your opinion, how much is 'Infernal Affairs' worth at the box office?"
"That's an easy question to answer. 'Infernal Affairs' is my heart and soul, so I think the higher the box office, the better. After all, the script is great, the team is great, and the actors are even better. As for my directing skills, I can responsibly tell you they're not bad either. So, I don't know how much this film will do at the box office, but I can bet it won't fail!"
"Mr. Chen, why don't you cast a top-tier celebrity or a top actress as the female lead in this drama? Ms. Lin Qian is just a second-tier actress and doesn't seem to have any particularly outstanding works."
Chen Muyang thought, if Song Zhu'er hadn't stopped filming, how could it be someone else's turn? Besides, there was a kissing scene, so he had to use a borrowed position.
"Regarding this role, Lin Qian didn't have good resources at another company a few years ago, but I'm very optimistic about her acting skills. Secondly, she's an artist from my company, so I should support her. After all, it's best to keep her in the family."
Next, the media interviewed several other actors and asked some questions until the end of the press conference.
After the press conference, all the crew members entered the set, mainly shooting indoor scenes, and some real scenes would be re-shot at the end. After all, the scenes in high-rise buildings and rooftops of this film are classics.
Yuzhou is known as the 8D magical city, which is perfect for shooting rooftop scenes.
"Mu Yang, are you really confident that you can win the award?" King Liu asked on the way to the set.
"King Liu should have the same confidence as me, right?" Chen Muyang did not answer directly, but asked in return.
"Hahaha, you are really smart." King Liu laughed.
In this way, "Infernal Affairs" entered the intense filming.
outside world.
The content of the press conference for "Infernal Affairs" has set the Internet on fire!
"King Liu joins Chen Muyang's new film 'Infernal Affairs'!"
"New director Chen Muyang writes, directs and stars in the crime drama "Infernal Affairs"
"Chen Muyang boasted that he would win two Best Actor awards for 'Infernal Affairs'!"
"Chen Muyang: Good things should be kept within the family."
......
Various topics emerged one after another, especially those surrounding King Liu and Chen Muyang.
Just a few days after filming, Chen Muyang received a call from Zhao Lishi.
"Hey, Sister Lishi, what's up? I'm busy filming a movie."
"I have something to do and will keep you for a few minutes. I have finished reading the scripts and I want both. Just name your price." Zhao Lishi said directly.
She has been reading the script non-stop these days, and her eyes have become panda-eyes because of the plot.
If someone sees her now, she looks no different from a giant panda, with a round face and dark circles under her eyes.
After reading the script, she hurriedly called Chen Muyang.
"Sister Lishi, just be frank. We are friends, so how can I name a price?"
"Thirty million for two series, and the copyright of the TV series belongs to my studio." Zhao Lishi was concise and gave a sincere price. This was the limit of her budget, and any more would affect the studio's operations.
"Okay, then the script will belong to Sister Lishi." Chen Muyang said.
Zhao Lishi was very sincere. Although she could have sold it to someone else for at least a few million more, since they were all acquaintances, there was no need to overcharge them.
"Thank you, Mu Yang, but I still want to ask you for a favor."
"Sister Lishi, you're too polite. Please speak directly if you have anything to say."
"When the filming starts, I hope you can join the crew and give some guidance." Zhao Lishi said. She also wanted to invite Chen Muyang to star in the film, but there was no extra money in the account.
"No problem, when I'm free, I'm filming in Hengdian right now."
......
After hanging up the phone, Chen Muyang returned to filming.
A month passed quickly.
"Big Fish and Begonia" was released and finally won 1.78 billion yuan at the box office, setting a new record in the Chinese animation market and causing a huge sensation.
At this time, the animation production department of Tianxia Travel has already started producing "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World".
In addition, "Dying to Survive" has been completed, passed the review, and is scheduled to be released on June 20th.
The summer movie market is very competitive, with two foreign science fiction blockbusters and three domestic big-budget commercial films.
The production cost of "Dying to Survive" is at the bottom of the list.
However, with the presence of Mr. Wang, the film's screening rate was not at the bottom, and it also received an 18% screening rate.
After all, he didn't have the final say in running his own cinema, so he just gave him some leeway to save his face.
