Among the three reporters who have been following the news about the crew of "Infernal Affairs", Fat Guo was the first to lower his voice and expressed his opinion: "Didn't you say that Mok Wenwei has quit the crew of "Infernal Affairs"? But look Come on, it seems that the rumors are wrong, and people are not refusing to participate."
The three of them learned that Mok Wenwei had actually auditioned, but seemed to have failed, and they even got into trouble with Zhou Xingxing because of this.
But looking at Mo Wenwei's proud expression now, it doesn't seem to have affected his mood at all.
King Charlie snorted and said: "Things in the entertainment industry are ever-changing. You can become a participant if you don't participate. As long as Zhou Xingxing is there, if Karen Mok wants to participate in the filming of [Infernal Affairs], then in fact, It's a matter of minutes.
Therefore, no matter how you say something like this, it will be beneficial to the crew. This may be a means of propaganda for Ye Ming. Although Ye Ming is young, he is not familiar with these methods in the entertainment industry. It is very clear that he is more powerful than some veteran artists. In this way, the reputation of "Infernal Affairs" has been hyped up quietly. How much publicity costs will be saved by this? "
Generally speaking, in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, at least 10% of the cost should be reserved for the post-production promotion expenses of the movie. However, seeing the pace of news like "Infernal Affairs", this cost is estimated The savings are more likely to be gained.
Zhou Xingxing first greeted Xiang Huaqiang and Huazi, and then nodded to Ge You. The rest of the people, including Chen Daomin, were not in Zhou Xingxing's eyes.
It didn't arouse any interest from Zhou Xingxing at all. This definitely has a lot to do with what Zheng Yijian said about Hong Kong stars looking down on mainland stars.
Because Ge You had won the title of Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival, at least he was recognized by Zhou Xingxing in terms of art and qualifications, so he nodded to Ge You.
As for the rest, it almost means that only Chen Daomin can make a slight impression on Zhou Xingxing. The rest basically has nothing worthy of Zhou Xingxing's attention. So naturally I won't say hello to them.
Zhou Xingxing is such a solitary and narcissistic person. He really doesn't look down on ordinary people.
At this time, it actually made these mainland actors a little embarrassed. I originally saw Zhou Xingxing arriving. People like Ma Su, Sun Li and others felt excited because they saw their idols. Zhou Xingxing's movies have influenced a generation.
But now they saw Zhou Xingxing walking past them with that condescending look, without any intention of saying hello to them. This made Ma Su and others feel chilled. I hit rock bottom all of a sudden.
Zhou Xingxing didn't care at all about the feelings of the little actors in his eyes, and immediately walked to the stage with Mok Wenwei. Ye Ming said very happily: "Thank you Mr. Zhou for coming, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperate."
Zhou Xingxing naturally gave some congratulations on the stage, and then Yan Meng stood up first and said: "Mr. Zhou, I would like to ask why you participated in [Infernal Affairs], the filming of this movie, according to From what I understand, you generally don’t participate in guest performances.”
Although Yan Meng said it very politely. In fact, there is basically no big difference between a guest appearance and a supporting role. The difference is that a supporting role is a performance by an unknown actor, while a guest appearance is just a performance by a star.
Zhou Xingxing, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, can naturally hear what is going on in these words. He said with a smile: "This female reporter is welcome, just say that she is just a sidekick. I am used to it. Maybe you don't remember it." , I came from a supporting role. Back then, I played a supporting role with my fourth brother Fa Ge and others. I was in Huang Rihua’s version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. I had a supporting role as a soldier, but as a result, I was eliminated by Jiuyin White Bones as soon as I appeared. The claw was killed. You may not remember it, but it was an experience I will never forget in my life. It is this experience that gave me a very valuable asset."
Zhou Xingxing exposed his shortcomings this time. He revealed a little-known experience of his own, which immediately livened up the atmosphere at the scene.
The fourth brother Zhou Xingxing mentioned was Xie Tingfeng's father, Xie Xian, who was also a big star back then. Of course, it was just like what Zhou Xingxing said just now. Big stars also come from small roles.
Next Yan Meng said: "Mr. Zhou participated in the filming of [Infernal Affairs], what is your evaluation of the movie?"
At this time, Zhou Xingxing hesitated and said: "From the book I have read, what Xiang Sheng said is absolutely correct. [Infernal Affairs] is actually the salvation of Hong Kong City. I hope [Infernal Affairs] can bring great benefits to Hong Kong." Hong Kong's movies have brought a bit of new vitality. The current movies in Hong Kong are lifeless and have no vitality at all. Look at the current movie box office. If you take inflation into account, a box office of more than 30 million is None, this should be a shame for the Hong Kong film market, if a Hollywood blockbuster comes.
We, the Hong Kong filmmakers, should feel ashamed that we always win the box office championship. I hope that this situation can be changed from Infernal Affairs. If so, I will be very happy. "
Although Zhou Xingxing's life as a person may not be proportional to his artistic achievements, at least one thing is that his love for Hong Kong movies will not change.
When Zhou Xingxing said these words at this time, it was obvious that not everyone dared to say it, and not everyone could say it, but Zhou Xingxing was qualified and dared to say it.
Because he is Zhou Xingxing, he is the King of Comedy, Zhou Xingnian, this is not an honor that any star can get.
Zhou Xingxing's words were a bit radical. Another reporter from East Weekly immediately changed the subject and said: "Ms. Mok Wenwei, what kind of role will you play in this movie? How do you feel about your role?" Let’s see it this way. I heard that you had some unpleasant troubles with the crew during the audition, but I don’t know if this is true.”
In fact, Mok Wenwei really will not give up on the movie "Infernal Affairs". This is something that any movie actor can see. "Infernal Affairs" is definitely a trend that can create history, so it can catch up with the trend of "Infernal Affairs". If it were a train, it would be a very rare opportunity for her at a time like this.
Therefore, although Mok Wenwei left directly during the audition, with Zhou Xingxing's relationship, it is not that difficult to get his role back.
Therefore, such a situation further fueled Mo Wenwei's arrogance.
She said rudely: "Who did you listen to? It's a rumor. I didn't participate in the audition at all. I just came to the crew to see how it was going. There is no role that Mok Wenwei wants that I can't get. Follow me." What's the point of auditioning to get a role? Being able to get a role without auditioning is what I want to see.
As for my opinion on the character, that depends on the director. I haven’t yet finished the character in any way. "
This is very arrogant to say. Generally speaking, at the beginning of the movie, within one to two months, the script will be assigned to the actors. If it is as urgent as "Infernal Affairs", then In this case, the script will be given to the actors in advance. Mok Wenwei definitely received this script.
But when she said this, she didn't take the crew seriously at all and gave the ball to Ye Ming.
This made Zhou Xingxing a little bit unable to get off the stage.
Everyone knew about his relationship with Mok Wenwei, and generally speaking, no matter how stupid Mok Wenwei was, he would never openly get into trouble with the director, but she was so bold to say it at this time. Why, in fact, Zhou Xingxing knew this very well. Even Ye Ming understood at this moment why Mo Wenwei was so brain-dead.
In fact, all this was done for Zhou Xingxing. From her eyes, you can see the complicated expression of love and hate for Zhou Xingxing. At this time, a woman who is crazy for love, no matter what she does, Whatever happens, it is very normal.
The reporter from East Weekly obviously would not miss this great opportunity to sow discord, so he asked Ye Ming directly: "Director Ye, do you have anything to say about what Miss Mok Wenwei said?"
This is actually the general, who made a very direct move.
Ye Ming's answer was directly related to the subsequent atmosphere. He could reprimand Mok Wenwei, or even say that if Mok Wenwei was expelled from the crew in front of everyone, then he could establish his reputation as a The majesty of a director comes from him, and in a situation like this, he will definitely offend Zhou Xingxing to death.
But if you don't deal with Mok Wenwei, then he has no authority to speak of in the crew.
This is a dilemma faced by Ye Ming. This reporter from East Weekly actually put Ye Ming on the fire. He didn't give Ye Ming any face at all.
And in such a dilemma, even the old Jianghu Xiang Huaqiang and Hua Tsai felt the unprecedented tension in the atmosphere. Ye Ming and Zhou Xingxing, Zhou Xingxing and Mok Wenwei, Mok Wenwei and Ye Ming, the three There was a silent secret war between individuals, and there was no way Ye Ming could afford to lose this war.
How to handle this situation at this time has become a crucial issue. If it is handled well, the crew of [Infernal Affairs] will have smooth sailing. If it is not handled well, then at this time, whether it can be started smoothly will not matter. It's a problem. (To be continued.)
