The hardest thing in life is not how far you can go, but whether you can still think of your original dream after you have gone far away, just like the dream of passionate youth when you stood under the starlight in the sky and sang all the way. . Obviously, many people will gradually lose themselves and get lost in the colorful temptations. Ye Ming's words stopped all reporters' suspicions. Fan Binbin indeed almost debuted with Ye Ming, both from Huanzhugege. He has not forgotten his original intention, his original passion and ideals. After Ye Ming and others dispersed, there were still some unwilling people among the reporters, standing there complaining. Pangguo said even more depressedly: "Today, I actually feel that I didn't get any effective news information. This matter seems to be somewhat contrary to our original intention." The reporter’s original intention was, of course, to dig out more and more exciting news clues. This time, in fact, everyone felt that even if they could not discover some inside stories about Infernal Affairs, at least, it was necessary to focus on Fan Binbin to open the gap, because they all knew very well that among the list of people attending the press conference this time, In other words, Fan Binbin's qualifications are relatively shallow. For the rest, no matter whether it was the boss, Xiang Huaqiang, no reporter would dare to offend him, especially King Charlie, who was his boss’s boss, so this time, King Charlie was very cautious when asking questions. of. As for Andy, who has been in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong for more than 20 years, he has never seen any big storms. It is impossible for him to care about this matter. As for Ye Ming, an upstart in the entertainment industry, a new generation of emperor and superstar, there is no one in the younger generation who can compete with Ye Ming. Being able to play opposite Andy in such a big-budget movie, and neither Andy nor anyone else feels inappropriate at all, this is what Ye Ming has achieved.
Golden Horse Best Actor, Berlin Best Actor, step by step, everyone discovered that Ye Ming has gone through a path that almost other stars may not be able to walk through in his short two years. At this time, Ye Ming simply That is to say, no reporter dares to ignore or question it. Only Fan Binbin was able to break through, but Ye Ming suppressed him without hesitation. At this time, Yan Meng looked at Fat Guo with contempt and said: "You people, you are so weak that people like snakes swallow elephants. Now that Ye Ming is here, do you think that at this time, there will be a lack of topics around him? Regardless of Ye Ming, Ming is filming movies, TV series, variety shows, and even talking about records. There is no shortage of news about these things. You want to discover more things. This is simply not comfortable with yourself. Wait. Just focus on the crew of Infernal Affairs. Why are you so worried?" These words made Pang Guo and others suddenly realize, yes, Ye Ming himself is actually a very big news event. As long as Ye Ming is there, there is no need to worry about there being no news. Therefore, many reporters are also After receiving souvenirs one after another, they dispersed. This is actually an unspoken rule. It is true in China, and it is the same in Hollywood abroad. When reporters go to interview, they must have some small gifts or something. The ones in Hong Kong City are more practical, with phone cards, shopping cards and other relatively affordable items. There is a suspense about why Ye Ming did not reveal the theme song at the press conference. Andy also asked this question when he was having dinner afterwards: "Ye Ming, I have a question. Since this is our crew's press conference, why don't you release the theme song at once?" , what are you doing leaving a suspense?" Andy raised this question at the scene. In fact, both Xiang Huaqiang and Fan Binbin were also very concerned. When Andy asked this question, they immediately stopped and wanted to hear Ye Ming's answer. At this moment, Xiang Huaqiang is sitting in the main seat. This shows his status as the eldest brother in the world. According to his status, Xiang Huaqiang is also qualified to sit in the main position, while Andy, as a senior in the entertainment industry, is sitting in the second seat. , according to Hua Zai's qualifications, this is understandable. And Ye Ming and Hua Zai sit next to each other. Fan Binbin can only sit next to Ye Ming, the most secondary position. In fact, she is qualified to sit here. , which is already a quite remarkable achievement. According to the rules of the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, actors of any size sit in a certain position, and those who can sit with the production director are definitely the backbone of the crew and big-name actors. If all the actors from the Infernal Affairs crew were present, Fan Binbin would not be qualified to sit here. But this time, the actors from the Infernal Affairs crew are Ye Ming and Hua Zai. The only one left is Fan Binbin. There is no fourth actor at all. Personally, therefore, she is lucky enough to be able to sit here, which is already quite difficult. Naturally, she didn't have much to say. After Ye Ming heard this inquiry, he said with a smile: "Why are the movies in our Hong Kong City not as good as they were in 1993 and 1994? The loss of film talents is one aspect, and the other is hype. This is Hollywood What they have done is quite good. Whether it is The Terminator, Titanic, or the current "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", what they have done is very good. In addition to the quality of the movie itself, the box office remains. Another topic below is about hype. If you mean that there have been enough news points to attract everyone's attention from the beginning of the filming, to attract the attention of reporters and the general audience, no matter when it is, no matter where it is, there will be enough people talking about it. , then at this time, people have heard about the movie Infernal Affairs. Whether you like it or not, you can always hear people around you talking about this movie. So what do you think the result will be. People are curious. Now that you are familiar with this movie and people around you are talking about it, once our movie is released, in such a situation, will you think? Let's go and see what happens. Only by capturing the audience's curiosity can a movie be successful. This is how Hollywood filmmakers do it. No matter where you are, no matter who you are at Sony, no matter whether you like watching movies or not, their promotion and hype are always everywhere. This is actually a success of the movie. necessary basis. " Hype is indeed very important to Xiang Huaqiang and Hua Tsai, but as Ye Ming said, it is so important and attaches so much importance to hype. This is something they did not expect. Hong Kong City also had some plans before the movie was released. A convention for creating topics. But it has never happened before that someone like Ye Ming talks about hype so grandly, so confidently, and so seriously regards it as an important condition for the success of a movie. They think that if the crew holds a press conference and the male and female protagonists create a little scandal at most, it will be enough publicity. But Ye Ming regards this hype as a major job. Xiang Huaqiang is also a veteran filmmaker. He said with some suspicion: "In this situation, you, Andy, are both top-level stars. This is enough to attract people's attention to our crew. At this time, do we have anything else to hype?” At least in Xiang Huaqiang's opinion, Ye Ming's actions may be a little penny wise and pound foolish.
However, Ye Ming said with great certainty: "This is an era where the smell of wine and the fear of dark alleys are high. Andy and I can attract our own fans, but at this time, it is not enough for our movie." , we have a lot of fans, but they don’t involve all walks of life. What I need is that all people, no matter what they do, even a beggar on the street, can hear others talking about our movie when begging. In this way, the hype of Infernal Affairs can be considered a real success. There is a famous saying in the science of hype. The ultimate goal of hype is that even the preparation you make is not enough. " There is no denying the success of Infernal Affairs. In the previous version of Infernal Affairs, it did live up to its mission of rescuing Hong Kong's entertainment industry. However, from a box-office perspective, it was not enough. With such a huge star cast, the box office results were not as good as those of Zhou Xingxing alone. [Kung Fu], this is why, hype, in terms of hype, [Infernal Affairs] really cannot beat [Kung Fu]. Therefore, since Ye Ming decided to film "Infernal Affairs", he would not make similar mistakes. At this time, Ye Ming said very firmly: "Don't worry, I will let cooperate with us in the hype. When the time comes, I will let audiences around the world know that we have filmed a movie [Infernal Affairs] in Hong Kong City. By then, I hope that our box office will truly become the king of the Hong Kong film market. Including imported films, I hope Infernal Affairs stands at the top of all movies, just like Princess My Fair Princess stood at the top of all TV series. " This is Ye Ming's ambition. No one thought that Ye Ming would have such a powerful ambition. Even Hua Tsai and Xiang Huaqiang only said that they wanted to make a good movie to cheer up the sluggish entertainment industry in Hong Kong. , but Ye Ming’s goal is not only to inspire the hearts of Hong Kong’s entertainment industry, but to truly stand at the top of the Hong Kong movie box office and look down on all living beings. Xiang Huaqiang looked at Ye Ming with emotion and said, "You are a young man after all. You have ideals and ambitions. You have chosen a very difficult path." Trampling all Hong Kong films, including imported films, is a very difficult task in itself. (To be continued)
