Chapter 192, The Eve of the Battle between "Kung Fu" and "New Police Story"
There is still a little less than a quarter to go before the release of "Kung Fu".
But now preparations for publicity and promotion are already underway, and Stephen Chow has begun to appear in interviews on various newspaper platforms.
Also, interviews on the Internet.
NetEase, Sohu, Sina.com.
These include some of Stephen Chow’s exclusive interviews.
Times have been changing quietly.
Print media still occupies a large share, but many young people have become accustomed to the emergence of portal websites and have begun to browse and obtain information from them.
In terms of publicity and promotion, "Kung Fu" has advantages that most other films cannot match.
Master Stephen Chow, Hong Kong's top actor, the king of comedy, the leader of the Hong Kong circle, is on par with Cheng Shilong, and his status is equivalent to that of Chen Daoming and others in the central circle and Ge You in the Beijing circle. He is even better in box office appeal.
His name has its own box office appeal when his name appears on the page.
It will attract the first audience.
This is the actor's box office appeal, unparalleled appeal.
Better publicity and promotion effect than pure money.
but.
Originally, this was "Kung Fu", which was Stephen Chow's special advantage, but during this National Day period, this unique advantage was somewhat filled up by other things.
This time’s National Day file.
There is one more person.
The dragon that accomplishes things.
He also has unparalleled strong appeal and is also one of the top actors in Hong Kong.
The same level of appeal.
They actually collided with each other.
It is also a movie that can attract a large amount of box office revenue just by its name.
There’s even still a quarter left before it’s released.
The level of discussion is already quite high.
"New Police Story" and "Kung Fu".
"In fact, it's not good for anyone if our two works collide with each other."
At this time, Cheng Shilong was already busy warming up for the promotion and marketing activities of "New Police Story". He was very busy.
As the living signboard of this movie, he is naturally active and preparing everywhere.
Pretty hard working.
He needn't have done that.
But we chose the National Day period.
"It would be good for everyone if we each take a step back. It would be best if we split up our schedules." But at this point, Cheng Shilong paused and said, "But neither of us will choose to take a step back. If we take a step back, wouldn't that mean we admit that we are not as good as the other? I'm afraid neither of us would be willing to do that."
Each has their own pride.
and willful.
"I guess our investors are all annoyed."
"It's no use for them to get angry."
“Hahahaha, when your status as an actor reaches that of you two, you are indeed qualified to do whatever you want with hundreds of millions of dollars of investment from investors.” Chen Musheng laughed.
right.
Just willful.
The King of Kung Fu Comedy, Jackie Chan.
Zhou Xingxing, the king of nonsensical comedy.
Both of them have reached unprecedented and unparalleled limits in their respective fields and character attributes.
Kung Fu comedian.
Nonsense comedian.
They are the actors in the Chinese-language film industry who have achieved the best in their own fields.
"However, we are better than the other side in the supporting cast, and the subject matter is more traditional." Cheng Shilong touched his chin and said: "Their subject matter is still quite new, including the supporting roles they choose."
Chen Musheng nodded, and that was exactly why.
The labor cost of "Kung Fu" was much lower, and even many new actors were used.
Even if a huge project like "The Pig Cage City" was built, the cost would still be lower than that of "New Police Story".
If you want to get your money back.
"Kung Fu" requires even lower conditions.
but.
Neither "Kung Fu" nor "New Police Story" is motivated by the need to recoup investment.
Everyone wants to achieve excellent results.
I want both.
Defeat the opponent.
Prove yourself.
A successful person has confidence in himself.
Chen Musheng also nodded.
“Well, I have confidence too.”
But when he got here, he couldn't help but think of it.
That Fire Cloud Evil God.
Until now.
He still hasn't forgotten that crazy shadow. Perhaps he is just an insignificant role in this top civil war in Hong Kong.
But Chen Musheng, I just remember him.
at this time.
Li Yun also saw the pre-production news for "Kung Fu" on the Internet.
It hasn't been officially announced yet, but just the simple words "Zhou Xingxing's new work" appeared and it was able to occupy a special edition in the entertainment section.
Regardless of paper media.
Or film and television media.
It's all like this.
"This is the style of a big shot."
Li Yun murmured at this moment.
Even myself.
This is what I want to be like. Before the works arrive, the popularity rises as soon as the name appears.
This is what a superstar looks like.
"See? This is what I want to be in the future, Master Xing, Jacky Cheung, or even Charlie Chaplin! Of course, this is assuming your dad and his capital group won't stop me. This is unlikely."
Li Yun murmured while eating potato chips.
"You must be mentally ill. Talking to yourself does look quite strange."
"What do you mean by mental problems? I just don't want you to say that."
"Yeah?"
at this time.
The scholar said calmly while looking at Li Yun.
"You seem to me to be talking to yourself."
"Oh"
Then.
There was a blank area with a radius of one meter next to Li Yun. He was sitting on a park bench. Maybe there was something wrong with his mentality .
Of course, at this moment, Li Yun is still in a busy state.
After leaving the crew of "SPL", he went straight to Shanghai to prepare to join the crew of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
However, distance started to shoot.
There is still plenty of time.
And Liu Qianqian had been waiting for a long time.
"Here, here! Brother Li!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!
"Oh" Li Yun immediately noticed the girl in the crowd. She was wearing a mask and had a pure and ethereal temperament and appearance, like a fairy on earth.
She came specially to pick me up at the airport, Liu Qianqian said curiously at this time.
"You came from Hong Kong, did you just finish filming?"
"Isn't this to pay off the debt I owe to the rich woman?" Li Yun smiled slightly and said, "I have to work hard on filming to pay off the debt."
At this time, Liu Qianqian said with a smile.
"Tsk, even if you didn't owe me money you would still be filming like crazy."
The sun shines on the girl's face.
The soft and supple skin is shining in the sunshine.
She said with a grin.
"Because you just like this kind of thing."
The reason why Liu Xixi came to Shanghai in advance was because she wanted to have some fun and visit the Oriental Pearl Tower.
"I don't really want to stay with my mom in Beijing, so I found a reason to come here early."
Li Yun thought about it.
Not surprising.
After all, no matter how mature a girl is, she is still a girl, and he is still in adolescence.
It is normal for teenage girls to rebel.
Besides, Liu Xixi’s family isn’t a very happy one.
Although his family background is indeed prominent.
"Let's go visit the Oriental Pearl Tower. I've heard for a long time that there are many wonderful places in Shanghai, but I've never been here before." Li Yun was also a little emotional. As a country bumpkin in two lifetimes, this was his first time to come to this international metropolis.
The first reaction might be that there are indeed quite a lot of foreigners here.
But that's it.
The fact that there are many foreigners doesn’t mean anything.
Wander around, go to Shanghai Bund, and see the Oriental Pearl Tower.
During this time, Li Yun also chatted with Liu Qianqian about the filming of The Legend of Sword and Fairy.
My current role is the Moon Worshiper.
The ultimate villain in this show.
He was promoted to a higher position than Cao Zhengchun in the last filming.
A lot of scenes are also written about.
But compared to being the best in the world, it is more difficult for the Moon Worshiper to produce good results.
Because the main target audience of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is teenagers, among which the majority are female audiences.
Ancient puppet drama.
The focus is on the characters' emotions, their entanglements, their love and hate.
This is what we often call CP.
Needless to say, Liu Qianqian's CP is Li Xiaoyao, the handsome protagonist played by Lao Hu.
He is handsome and has ideas. From the character setting and the script, it can be seen that he is the absolute core of The Legend of Sword and Fairy. There is no more core character than him.
The entire plot revolves around the story of Nuwa's descendants and her lover saving all living beings.
Sacrifice, love, justice.
The theme of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
But these things are what the Moon Worshiper does not have.
Selfish, paranoid, ruthless and indifferent, he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, regardless of the lives of others, and his rationality is extremely indifferent.
The ultimate goal is to free the people of this world from ignorance and fill this world with wise and rational beings.
No matter what kind of sacrifices are made, what price the world pays, or how many lives are lost, these are not what the Moon Worshiping Cult cares about.
When he first read the script, Li Yun was impressed by the stereotypical villain.
Too stereotyped When Li Yunguang read the script setting of this drama, he wanted to complain crazily.
What a stereotypical villain.
This stereotype can be said to be fully true.
But this is just a villain who fully reflects the stereotype.
Li Yun was thinking at this time.
I just feel that this is a very complicated character in every aspect.
complex.
And tricky.
It's a bit difficult to act well.
It is even more impossible to perform well and make people like it.
So the actor that Tangren wanted at the beginning was actually someone like Xu Mianjiang.
Be able to act well and act to perfection.
Moreover, he is not afraid of acting in a way that makes people dislike him.
The better the performances of Zhao Linger and Li Xiaoyao.
The source of all evil, the Moon Worshiper, becomes more and more hateful.
How sad and hateful.
"The better I act, the more the audience will hate you." Liu Qianqian smiled with narrowed eyes.
"Then just come and act your best. This way, when the popularity of our "Legend of Sword and Fairy" increases, we can also benefit from it." Li Yun also laughed.
This is indeed the case.
However, from the perspective of a villain, being hated to the extreme is also a sign of good acting.
Li Yun also thought about it. Next, as the leader of the Moon Worshiping Sect, he had to pay attention to one point.
A place to focus on shaping.
Curiosity.
No matter what terrible evil he had done.
Regardless of whether he got the answer in the end.
Being able to express his curiosity is the foundation of this character.
