"Men Jie, come here quickly. Our "Myth" launch conference is about to begin. As the number one supporting actor, it is a good opportunity to show your face!"

On November 16, 2004, Menjie left the city where he originally filmed "Fist of Fury" and followed the crew of "Myth" to another city.

Today is the day when Menjie and others' new electronic music "Myth" will be launched. A press conference will be held to launch the film. Tomorrow, Menjie and others will start shooting the film.

More than a month has passed since the last filming. Menjie has also rested for a few days. His mental state has already reached a peak state and he is getting ready to face new challenges!

"Brother Fang Chenglong, where should I sit?"

The venue for the launch press conference was a place similar to a conference hall temporarily rented by Fang Chenglong. Men Jie and other important members of the crew each had a seat, while many other reporters were sitting below, waiting for the formal press conference.

After starting, ask questions to Menjie and others.

Taking advantage of the fact that reporters and fans had not yet entered the venue, Menjie quickly found Fang Chenglong and asked about his location.

If it were normal times, Menjie would be able to be more casual, but today when he was facing the media, Menjie naturally couldn't be too casual.

Just talking about seating, it is a very deep knowledge in China!

If you sit too close to the center and occupy the seats of other important members, you may be resented by others, and news such as "Men Jie is acting like a big name" will spread. But if you sit too far away, Men Jie will not be able to hold this press conference.

Not being able to show your face is indeed a very troublesome thing.

"Sit in the right seat in the middle. The two seats in the middle belong to me and Old Tang. You and Jin Xishan will sit on either side of us!"

He casually pointed to a seat not far away. After Fang Chenglong told Menjie where he should sit, he ran to the side and started to get busy.

Menjie shrugged. He also knew that Fang Chenglong, the producer and starring actor, would be busy today, so he didn't talk much, so he took Jin Xishan to the central position. Menjie was on the right, and Jin Xishan was on the left.

The two most central seats among the seats were vacant.

In addition to Fang Chenglong, the other two positions are the director of the film, Hong Kong's top director, Tang Jili!

Speaking of Tang Jili, even Menjie, who doesn't know much about Hong Kong directors, can't help but give a thumbs up and praise him. Menjie has been looking forward to making friends with Tang Jili for a long time.

Tang Jili, as of this year, is already forty-four years old, but his path as a director has already taken more than ten years!

In terms of time, it is almost the same as Sun Zhou, but most of his movies have left a strong mark on the hearts of many young people today!

"Ambition" filmed two years ago, two films in the "Police Story" series with Fang Chenglong, "Red Zone", and even "Thunder" with Aaron Kwok, all highlight the Tang Dynasty.

Ji Li’s connections and status in the Chinese film industry are absolutely extraordinary!

And what Menjie admires the most is that Tang Jili’s own path as a director was not as smooth sailing as he imagined!

Before becoming a director, Tang Jili held many positions such as martial arts actor, martial arts stand-in, scene recorder, assistant director, producer and screenwriter. While accumulating experience, he climbed up step by step solely relying on his own strength.

This is very similar to Menjie's role as a bit player in Hengdian for three years before his official debut.

Therefore, although the two have not met yet, Men Jie has a natural affection for Tang Jili, probably because they both came from the same grassroots background.

However, although the box office of the films he has filmed far exceeds that of Sun Zhou, in terms of honor, it has always been a worry for Tang Jili!

He has made so many good movies with very high box office, but Tang Jili has only won a few "Best Action Design Awards" among many awards, and has never been able to win the Best Director, which may be considered a pity!

Now, Fang Chenglong and Tang Jili, who have collaborated many times, have started a new cooperation. Menjie believes that this time, the two will definitely achieve greater success and achieve equally outstanding results!

After working for a while, Menjie saw a very young man walking towards him not far away. Menjie, who had a sharp eye, naturally recognized the man's identity and stood up quickly. At the same time,

He also whispered to Jin Xishan to stand up quickly to greet him.

"Director Tang!"

It happened that everyone else was busy and could not pay attention to Tang Jili who was walking towards him. Menjie had a big smile on his face and shook hands with Tang Jili firmly.

Jin Xishan on the side just smiled at Tang Jili and did not say anything else because he could not speak Chinese.

"Are you Menjie?"

Almost in an instant, Tang Jili recognized Men Jie, with a faint smile on his face, "I heard Fang Chenglong told me about you and said that your acting skills are very good, not inferior to some first-line movie stars."

, and it is very suitable for this role. I am looking forward to your performance!"

"Thank you, Director Tang, for the compliment. In fact, it's not as good as Brother Fang Chenglong said. It's just good luck that I was selected by Brother Fang Chenglong, so I can have such an opportunity!"

"I am the director. Only I know whether you are suitable or not, so stop being so modest!"

At Menjie's respectful invitation, Tang Jili also sat next to Menjie and started chatting with Menjie with a chuckle.

Although neither Fang Chenglong nor Tang Jili spoke Korean and could not communicate with Jin Xishan, after all, Fang Chenglong and Jin Xishan knew each other, so Menjie sat down next to Tang Jili.

"Fang Chenglong mentioned you to me during the casting process before. I didn't know you very well at the time, so I didn't agree. However, I deliberately tried to get to know you later!"

As soon as they sat down, Tang Jili started a conversation with Menjie, "I heard that you worked as a bit player in Hengdian for three years. At the end of last year, you officially entered the entertainment industry?"

"Well, my acting skills were terrible before. I worked as a bit player in Hengdian for three years and learned a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am today!" Menjie nodded and said very modestly.

"Well, although I don't have a professional background, I have always believed that only by constantly improving yourself at work can your acting skills be better. Only those who have gone through hardships can achieve greater achievements in the future!"

Hearing Menjie's affirmative reply, Tang Jili couldn't help but glance at Menjie. Menjie also noticed that the two people's favorability level actually reached the level of 'favorability 40', and he understood with a move in his heart.

Tang Jili and Fang Chenglong have become old friends and have collaborated many times. The reason why they achieved 80% success is because they both came from grassroots backgrounds. They have been working in basic positions for many years and have common topics. Menjie has also risen in this way, so it is naturally easier for Tang Jili to win.

, Fang Chenglong’s approval!

"Some time ago, Fang Chenglong saw some of the recorded scenes of you while filming "Fist of Fury", and it is true that you are very similar in temperament to the number one supporting actor in "The Myth". Not only Fang Chenglong, but also myself

I also agree very much and look forward to your performance in the next movie!"

"Director Tang, don't worry, I'm in very good condition now. After the filming officially starts tomorrow, I will never let you down!" Men Jie promised, patting his chest.

"But after all, I have just debuted for a year, and I don't understand many things very well. If I don't do something well at that time, I need Director Tang to forgive me!"

"This is natural. Our director's job is to teach actors how to act!"

Tang Jili chuckled and readily agreed, allowing Menjie to continue chatting.

Since he knew that Tang Jili valued a grassroots background and that he had finally risen through continuous hard work at the grassroots level, Menjie also wanted to cater to him. When chatting, he often talked about some of the difficult experiences he had when he was working as a minor player in Hengdian.

Of course, in the middle, Menjie would not forget to raise some issues encountered during the filming process.

With Tang Jili, a top commercial film director in China, Menjie would not waste such precious resources and not use them. Naturally, he raised all his questions and waited for Tang Jili's answers.

Faced with such an actor who he liked very much and who worked so hard, Tang Jili was naturally not stingy or impatient, and patiently explained it to Menjie.

Unfortunately, the happy time is always short-lived. Not long after, basically all the important members of the "Myth" crew arrived. After Fang Chenglong also took his seat, the fans and reporters who had been waiting at the door for a long time also

As people swarmed in, the press conference venue, which was originally a bit empty with not many people, suddenly felt a little crowded.

Basically, in addition to the staff and members of the "Myth" crew, there were nearly a hundred reporters and nearly a thousand fans who came here today. There were people sitting in every seat, and there were even a small number of people who didn't have chairs. That's it.

Standing in the aisle, not wanting to leave.

What makes Menjie quite happy is that among the more than a thousand fans, there are nearly a hundred fans belonging to Menjie!

Among the nearly a thousand fans, at least 80% are specifically for Fang Chenglong, and the remaining 20% ​​are basically fans of Menjie and Jin Xishan. It can be seen that although Menjie is not very popular now,

But it’s not low either!

Menjie believes that after his two movies are officially released and his new album is officially released, the number of his fans will increase rapidly, so there is no need to be too impatient!

After thinking about it, after Fang Chenglong, the most important member of the "Myth" crew, gave a speech, the launch conference of "Myth" officially began! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature for better and more updated novels.
