Qi Delong choked, Qi Delong choked...
With gongs and drums, dragon and lion dances, the opening ceremony of the Xiangjiang crew was obviously much more lively than the one in the mainland.
Today is the day when "Infernal Affairs" is launched. The original title "Infernal Affairs" was reportedly rejected by the mainland partner company Bona Pictures.
After all, it is going to be released in the mainland. With such a name, it will not be easy to pass the review.
Because of Zhang Chu's relationship, the crew also attracted a lot of media attention.
There is no way, who made him famous now.
If you want to choose one of the most topical stars in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in recent times, there is no doubt that it must be Zhang Chu.
"Hurricane" has been released in Xiangjiang for a week, and the cumulative box office has exceeded 30 million.
It officially landed on Treasure Island yesterday and across Southeast Asia, the total box office on the first day exceeded 40 million.
At the same time, talks are almost complete in Japan, and it is expected to be released at the end of the month.
The good news doesn't stop there. After two revisions, the mainland review has been passed, and the release date is also scheduled for the end of the month.
Although it missed the National Day release, it is already very rare to pass the review and obtain the qualification for release without undergoing overhaul.
It is foreseeable that "Taken" is destined to be the biggest hit in 2001.
Whether it is Zhou Xingchi's "Shaolin Soccer" or "Skinny Man", also produced by Yongsheng, it is only a matter of time before "The Rescue" is surpassed.
Zhang Chu's popularity was so great that even the other leading actor in the movie "Infernal Affairs" had to stay away from the limelight for a while.
Of course, this is what reporters said when they asked questions.
Liu Dehua, who plays Liu Jianming in the play, was indeed not present today.
"Wazai is going to the mainland to attend an event and will join us in a few days."
Liu Weiqiang did not want to be instigated by the media on the first day of filming and break the news that the two male protagonists were at odds.
Later, Zhang Chu also expressed his dignity that Liu Dehua was his senior and even more an idol.
That's not a lie.
Among the original memories, the only two Hong Kong actors who left a lasting impression were Zhou Xingchi and Andy Lau.
Even Cheng Long had to step aside.
Zhou Runfa?
Just a fat guy.
Then the reporter started talking about topics related to "Hurricane Rescue".
"Everyone, today is the launch ceremony of "Infernal Affairs", don't neglect us!"
Zhang Chu's joke finally brought everyone's attention back to the topic.
However, most media are still skeptical about police movies.
Although police and gangster-themed movies have become very popular in recent years, not many of them have really achieved good results at the box office.
That is Cheng Long's "Police Story" series, which is still a highlight.
"Many people were not optimistic about "Taken" before it started filming. What if we watch it now? Facts have proved that it is not that there is no market for movies with a certain theme, but that there is no good script."
nice!
Liu Weiqiang looked at Zhang Chu and didn't expect him to be so experienced in dealing with the media.
Zhang Chu was previously chosen to play the role of Chen Yongren, partly because of Zhang Chu's low pay.
Liu Weiqiang's favorite Liang Chaowei is now worth 6 million Hong Kong dollars, while Zhang Chu is only worth 3 million.
It can save a lot of money on production.
After all, Media Asia only gave him 25 million, which was Liu Dehua's remuneration invested in production costs.
Otherwise, the crew will not be able to get the actors' remuneration alone.
Thinking of this, Liu Weiqiang felt suffocated. Media Asia's boss Lin refused to take out the money and wanted an all-star lineup.
Want to eat shit?
Fortunately, Andy Lau was particularly interested in this film and offered various favors, including a number of celebrities who reduced their pay to join the film.
On the other hand, due to Zhang Chu's popularity in the mainland, Bona's condition for cooperation was that one of the two male leads must be a mainland actor.
Although Zhang Chu was not mentioned by name, it seemed that he was the only one who was suitable.
Liu Weiqiang was not very satisfied with Zhang Chu, but now it seems that he really got a big deal.
"Taken" became a hit, and "Infernal Affairs" also received increased attention.
If "Taken" can really win this year's box office championship, when "Infernal Affairs" is released, with the appeal of Zhang Chu, Liu Dehua and other stars, the box office performance will be much worse.
Without Liu Dehua, the focus of media attention was naturally on Zhang Chu.
Not only the movie itself, the character played by Zhang Chu, but also the clothes, shoes and drink Zhang Chu wore today have become hot topics.
In the previous film "Hurricane Rescue", Zhang Chu wore Red Star Sports sportswear throughout the entire film. With its strong idol effect, the Red Star Sports brand became popular in Hong Kong.
Probably Wu Rongguang, the boss of Red Star Sports, would not have thought that he only invested 1 million in the hope that Zhang Chu could wear their products while filming "Hurricane Rescue".
As a result, Red Star Sports was able to enter the Hong Kong market.
The power-on ceremony lasted for more than an hour. Although it was already October, the weather in Xiangjiang was still very hot.
After being in the sun for more than an hour, Zhang Chu couldn't bear it anymore.
"elder brother!"
It was finally over, and Zhang Chu quickly found a cool place.
Xiao Ma immediately gave him a bottle of ice-cold Coke.
"You got it right, right?"
"Am I that careless?"
Zhang Chu smiled: "How is it? The harvest is not small, right?"
Xiao Ma chuckled and added several more trophies to the signature book in his bag.
Because Xiao Ma is Zhang Chu's assistant, and Zhang Chu is very popular, who among the actors in the same cast would refute Zhang Chu's face because of a signature.
"It's a pity that King Liu Tian is not here. What I want most is his signature."
The four majestic kings, the idols of generations, even the original person is a big fan of Andy Lau.
After Zhang Chu traveled through time, he still had "Forgetting Water" sung by Liu Dehua in his memory.
"Brother, Sister Hua's phone number."
Hearing the ringtone of his cell phone, Xiao Ma quickly took out Zhang Chu's cell phone from his bag.
"Hey, Sister Hua!"
"How's it going? Did the power-on ceremony go well?"
"It went very well. Did you call me with something wrong?"
"Well, Director Li An contacted me."
Li An?
"He has new works?"
Zhang Chu still likes to work with Li An. If there is a chance, it would be good to work together again.
"That's not the case. When he called me, he was also giving messages to others."
other people?
Zhang Chu thought for a while and said: "Owen Turner."
Foreigners all have crappy names.
"Hey! You must be so awesome, you can guess all this."
Zhang Chu smiled. It was not difficult to guess. Li An called and called Wang Jinghua directly. If it was not about cooperation, then this was the only thing.
"How to say?"
"The other party hopes that you can go to the United States. There are some things that need to be discussed."
"Push it!"
Well?
Wang Jinghua was stunned when he heard this.
What did you push?
"Xiao Zhang, what you just said was... pushed?"
"Yes, pushed."
What does a foreigner think of Mr. Zhang?
Come when you call, and go when you wave?
He was also asked to go to the United States for an interview.
What did you go for?
How many more hours will it be left to dry?
Zhang Chu is the person who is the least likely to wrong himself.
Zhang Chuke still remembers what happened last time.
"Sister Hua, if he wants to cooperate with me, he should come to Xiangjiang instead of me going to the United States if he is sincere. Do you remember what I said at the beginning?"
What?
Sooner or later he will come back with revenge.
"Xiao Zhang, you have to think about this matter carefully, just in case..."
"There's nothing wrong with it. Even if I don't go to Hollywood, I can still make American money."
Ambitious.
Although Wang Jinghua felt that there was no need to be angry out of professional instinct, he had to admit that doing this...
So cool.
As an agent, she sometimes has to suffer some injustice for the benefit of artists.
But here in Zhang Chu, it doesn't exist at all.
Zhang Chu is not only someone who refuses to be wronged himself, but he is also someone who will not let others around him be wronged.
"Okay, I know what to do."
"Achu!"
Zhang Chu looked up at Liu Weiqiang and saw that the other party was waving to him.
"Sister Hua, the director is calling me. If you need anything, please call me."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chu stood up and walked to Liu Weiqiang. There was a young actor with him.
We had already met each other at the opening ceremony just now.
Yu Wenle.
In the play, he plays the young Chen Yongren.
Speaking of which, Zhang Chu is only one year older than him.
However, Zhang Chu didn't have a good impression of this person. He looked unruly and squinted when he looked at people.
"Ah Chu, it's like this. Ah Le has a tattoo on his neck. You two play the same person in the play. This is easy to tell. Can you..."
"cannot!"
Before Liu Weiqiang finished speaking, Zhang Chu refused directly.
As the saying goes, the hair and skin of the body are influenced by the parents.
For the sake of filming, I just cut my hair and let Zhang Chu get a tattoo. It was a no-brainer.
"I'm not asking you to get a tattoo. I just draw one and it will fall off as soon as you wash it off."
"no!"
Zhang Chu still refused directly. If this guy was a good guy, there would be no problem if Zhang Chu cooperated.
But Zhang Chu classified this person named Yu Wenle as "disgusted" in just one meeting.
Why let him cooperate with someone he hates?
"The tattoo can be washed off. If not, just replace it."
"Hey, mainland boy, what's so great about you, ah~~~"
Yu Wenle was furious, but before he could finish his words, he let out a scream.
"Don't point at random people. Be careful. You won't want this finger next time."
After saying that, Zhang Chu let go of his hand.
Yu Wenle squatted on the ground and looked at Zhang Chu with eyes full of resentment.
Liu Weiqiang was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect that a trivial matter would turn into such a mess.
Originally, this kind of thing only required someone to say hello to Zhang Chu, but he felt that he should have more contact with Zhang Chu, so he said it himself.
result……
Look at Yu Wenle, who is still squatting on the ground, his face almost deformed in pain.
On one side are the people of the Emperor Yang Shoucheng, on the other side is Zhang Chu who is in the spotlight, and behind him stands Xiang Huaqiang.
It’s not easy to offend anyone.
Moreover, Zhang Chu doesn’t seem to be an easy person to get along with!
