The entertainment journalists in Xiangjiang are the ones that make the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang both love and hate them. They can lift an artist to the sky, but they can also easily pull him down from the sky. Many celebrities in Xiangjiang have a sense of fear towards entertainment reporters.
In Xiangjiang, how to deal with entertainment reporters correctly is a compulsory course for all new artists. If you fail this course, you will suffer hardship sooner or later. There are many examples in the past that can be used as proof.
The launch ceremony of "A Chinese Ghost Story" had just ended, and Lu Chen was surrounded by these uninvited entertainment journalists, and each of their questions was more tricky and even worse than the last.
This makes people worried, because Lu Chen is a star from the mainland, and his debut time is very short. He must have never experienced such a scene. Once he is young and angry, the consequences will be difficult to predict.
With the urinary nature of the media in Hong Kong, a trivial matter can be sensationalized into ten points, which is not a good thing!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Wenqiang quickly winked at Zhang Xiaofang and prepared to step forward to protect Lu Chen and separate him from the entertainment reporters to prevent Lu Chen from saying the wrong thing.
But Lu Chen didn't panic at all. Even when he heard questions that were obviously malicious, he still had a calm and faint smile on his face, appearing extremely calm.
At the Xiangjiang Airport a few days ago, Lu Chen had already seen similar battles and had an intuitive understanding of the paparazzi in Xiangjiang.
He pondered for a moment and then said into the microphone put to his mouth: "There is no word failure in my dictionary. I believe that this "A Chinese Ghost Story" will definitely be successful. As for whether it can change the film pattern in Hong Kong
, then I dare not boast."
"As I said in ATV's "Entertainment Talk", I want to be a catfish. Catfish is not a crocodile, and I don't have such a big appetite."
"As for the quality of the movie, you are very welcome to go to the theater to watch and evaluate it yourself. You can leave your contact information here, and our studio will send you free tickets and premiere gifts."
Lu Chen's answer could be described as a series of answers, cleverly avoiding the traps in the reporter's questions, but fully demonstrating his confidence, and not forgetting to give away a little sweetness at the end.
Whether it was Chen Wenqiang or Zhou Yi, the big stone they just mentioned in their hearts instantly dropped.
Many times, Lu Chen's youth makes people feel uneasy, but in fact he never disappoints!
There is no word failure in my dictionary!
This sentence was definitely said in a domineering way. Several entertainment journalists’ eyes lit up as they listened, as if they had grasped some important clue. One of them couldn’t wait to ask: “The investment amount in “A Chinese Ghost Story” is said to be 30 million.
, although it is not a top-notch production, it is still very high.”
"Since there is such a high investment, why can't you see a few stars in this movie? Is it because you can't invite them, or is the remuneration all on you, or is the 30 million just an exaggeration?"
Before the opening ceremony, Luchen Xiangjiang Studio and Jiayang Pictures announced news related to "A Chinese Ghost Story" on their respective blogs, including the investment amount and cast.
The reporter questioned Lu Chen aggressively about the 30 million yuan budget.
Lu Chen looked at the other party deeply and asked, "Which media reporter are you from?"
The other party replied proudly: "I am a reporter from Polo Daily."
Polo daily?
Lu Chen was impressed by this Hong Kong newspaper. He smiled lightly and said: "First of all, when filming "A Chinese Ghost Story", I myself was paid zero to star in it, so there is no problem of spending the budget on myself."
When celebrities invest in filming movies or TV series, a common tactic is to sign high remuneration for themselves. On the one hand, it is to enhance their own status, and on the other hand, it is also to increase the amount of investment as a publicity point.
For example, Lu Chen's real net worth is 10 million in salary, but he promoted it to 50 million through his left hand and right hand.
Many celebrities and entertainers, including some big names, do this, and investors are happy to cooperate.
But for the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", Lu Chen went in the opposite direction. He didn't take a penny for the film, in order to use more of the budget on pre-production and post-production.
Zero pay? All the budget is spent on filming and production!
The entertainment reporters present looked a little strange. In the film and television industry, such a thing cannot be said to be unique, and it is now as rare as a feather.
Today's Hong Kong movies are either low-cost and vulgar, or they are blockbusters with big stars and a large lineup. There are really very few people who can calm down and seriously shoot and produce a movie.
Some have already been eliminated by the market.
This young man in front of us gives everyone a really different feeling.
The reporter from Polo Daily did not give up and was frustrated by the budget issue. He changed the subject and suddenly pointed the finger at Ma Rongcheng, who was standing next to him.
"As far as I know, Mr. Ma Rongzhen is a well-known box office poison in the industry. For what reason did you invite him to play an important supporting role in this movie?"
The nickname "Box Office Poison" was earned by Ma Rongzhen in the later stages of his acting career. At that time, he was participating in a movie where he had to pay for every movie he made, but someone maliciously imposed it on him.
In fact, Hong Kong movies were on the decline at that time, and Ma Rongzhen's genre was relatively fixed. The roles he was invited to play were basically the same, and the subject matter itself was not good. In addition, due to the general environment, it would be weird not to join the cast.
But after this nickname spread, Ma Rongzhen's acting career was basically ruined. No one asked him to film anymore, which made his situation worse and worse, and he had to work as a handyman in Lion Rock to make ends meet.
Not a slap in the face, but in front of everyone, the Polo Daily reporter uncovered Ma Rongzhen's scars, which made Ma Rongzhen's face turn red immediately.
He couldn't help but clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white from the exertion, but he lowered his head.
Because he can't do anything, whether he is refuting or counterattacking, he will only fall into the opponent's trap.
Ma Rong really didn't want to lose this precious opportunity, so he could only endure the humiliation silently.
Lu Chen noticed Ma Rongzhen's expression. An imperceptible sharpness flashed in his eyes, and he said without thinking: "I have never heard of any box office poison. In my eyes, there are only good actors and bad actors."
Actor, and Ma Rong is really an outstanding and dedicated actor!"
"I believe that he will be able to play the important role of Yan Chixia well. This is the reason why I invited him!"
These few words Lu Chen said were sonorous and powerful, with unshakable determination, and they were his true support for Ma Rong.
It is also a powerful response to this journalist with ulterior motives!
Ma Rongzhen couldn't help but straighten his back and raised his head again.
At this moment, what he felt in his heart was that "a scholar dies for his confidant"! ——
