Hengcheng Film and Television City.
The launch conference of "Mom Love Me Again" was held here.
The disturbing news on Hong Kong Island will naturally spread to the mainland.
Of course, Li Yi is a relatively popular director in Hong Kong Island. He is relatively young, and young directors in Hong Kong Island are really scarce.
Therefore, things are rare and valuable, and Li Yi was naturally praised.
For this reason, "Mom Love Me Again", Li Yi's new film, naturally received more attention.
In the Mainland, the market is so big. Although "The Gift of Room No. 7" took in more than 300 million at the box office, it only gave Li Yi, a young director, a little fame.
There is so much news in the mainland entertainment industry, so naturally no one will pay special attention to Li Yi.
Although there are some related reports, they are not as uproar as in Hong Kong Island.
This can be seen from the proportion of media coming today.
There are at least dozens of media outlets from Hong Kong Island. Of course, most of those media outlets are gossip media. Hong Kong Island entertainment and gossip news is highly developed, but it is still only a city-level area. Therefore, regardless of the large number of people, But in fact, many of them are small media.
Naturally, a lot of media came to the mainland. Although Li Yi's films did not receive as much attention as those on Hong Kong Island, he was still one of the more popular directors of the new generation.
Therefore, a lot of media came to call the number.
"Hey, this Director Li is so interesting. I heard that the change of roles in this movie has made a big fuss on Hong Kong Island. If everyone hadn't been from the same country, I'm afraid he would have been pointed at and scolded for being Hong Kong. Rape." Reporter Li Wen, who was wearing a Penguin Entertainment logo, and fellow reporter Zhou Qingquan beside him said.
"Hey, it's just making a fuss and retaliating. I heard that the reason for the replacement was because they asked Wu Ting to practice his Mandarin and at least improve his Mandarin pronunciation of his lines. As a result, Wu Ting didn't care at all, and then he Being replaced, if you ask me, it's because Wu Ting is backed by a Hong Kong star, otherwise, this kind of thing would be commonplace, right?" Zhou Qingquan said disapprovingly.
"Where did you get the information? Is it reliable?" Li Wen asked with some surprise.
Zhou Qingquan smiled and said: "It should be reliable. I heard it from a friend in the same industry on Hong Kong Island."
"As for this matter, we still have to see how Director Li will respond to today's launch conference. Although from our standpoint, there is nothing wrong with Director Li's request, it is different on Hong Kong Island." Zhou Qingquan said again.
"By the way, it's not that the role has been changed. It's been replaced by a young student from our mainland. Who is it?" Li Wen asked curiously.
"How would I know? Even the paparazzi on Hong Kong Island didn't find out..." Zhou Qingquan shook his head.
"On the contrary, the heroine is Wen Qing, and the hero is a mainland actor. It's no wonder that he is being used to make trouble by the media in Hong Kong." Zhou Qingquan said with a smile.
"What age have you been, and you still know what to do so clearly? Really!" Li Wen said disapprovingly.
The time the two chatted passed quickly. At this time, the noise in the crowd stopped, but it was the launch conference of "Mom Love Me Again" that was about to begin.
The host of the press conference was Zhuo Yixiong.
"Thank you all friends from the media for attending the launch conference of "Mom Love Me Again"!"
"The movie "Mom Love Me Again", from preparation to now..."
In fact, the media reporters below did not care at all what Zhuo Yixiong said on stage.
He is not the protagonist himself, not even the protagonist of the movie. The real protagonist is Li Yi.
After all, the movie hasn't started filming yet, but Li Yi has a lot of problems.
Zhuo Yixiong said that the filming of the movie "Mom Love Me Again" went through a lot of hardships.
Then finally the conversation changed and Li Yi, the real director, was invited to come out.
As soon as Li Yi came out, the media reporters below were all eager to give it a try, but the key question-asking session had not yet come, so even if they wanted to ask, they could only endure it.
"I won't say much more. I think you have a lot of questions to ask, so let's go directly to the question session!" The normal process should be that Li Yi introduces the main actors of the movie "Mom Love Me Again", and then enters the question session. , but Li Yi did not and went directly to the question session.
This actually made some experienced media reporters think more.
Zhou Qingquan and Li Wen looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
"It's interesting that we didn't introduce the leading actors first. It seems that Director Li looks young, but he came prepared today." Zhou Qingquan said with a smile on his face.
Just as Li Yi finished speaking, there were long arms underneath him, and almost all the reporters raised their hands.
Li Yi glanced at it, and then casually nodded to a reporter slightly in front.
"Director Li, I am Xu Rongzhao, a reporter from Hong Kong's "Breaking News" weekly. The male lead of this movie was previously set to be Wu Ting, but he was replaced. The reason was because Wu Ting's Mandarin pronunciation was not standard. May I ask Li Director, is this true?" Xu Rongzhao from "Breaking News" magazine asked quickly.
Everyone looked at Li Yi. After all, there had been a lot of news reports on Hong Kong Island, but Li Yi, one of the parties involved, never responded.
Everyone wants to know the answer. After all, rumors are just rumors.
Li Yi smiled lightly and said: "First of all, Wu Ting was replaced not because his Mandarin pronunciation was not standard, but because he didn't pay attention to my request as a director at all. Mandarin pronunciation is not standard and can be improved through practice, but it is obvious , Mr. Wu didn't take it to heart. It took more than half a month from the time I made the request to the time I signed the contract, but he didn't make any improvement at all, which made me very suspicious of his attitude towards my movie."
Li Yi quickly named the next reporter.
"Hello Director Li, I am Liao Jun, a reporter from Hong Kong Island Entertainment Weekly. There are many actors in Hong Kong whose Mandarin pronunciation is not standard. This is a common phenomenon. Is this because Director Li chooses mainland actors instead of One of the reasons for replacing Hong Kong actors?" asked Liao Jun, a reporter from "Hong Kong Island Entertainment Weekly".
The questions asked by Xu Rongzhao before and Liao Jun now were obviously biased, and there were traps in the questions.
Of course, Li Yi can deny it, but they obviously have another plan.
"Your question is very interesting. I don't know where you got the data that many Hong Kong actors have poor Mandarin pronunciation. As far as I know, Chen Weijie, Xu Zhouping, and my father Li Zhenye, as well as the previous The veteran Hong Kong actors like Luo Xian who I have worked with may not speak Mandarin very well, but in fact, when they appear in movies, they can speak their lines in Mandarin very fluently."
