Liu Zhenwei didn't know that all this was discussed in advance by Lin Youlun and the White Dragon King.
In order to make the play more realistic, Lin Youlun even took the lead in becoming a "disciple" of the White Dragon King. During the opening ceremony, he took the lead in kneeling in front of the White Dragon King and accepted his blessings.
The reporters in the audience were dumbfounded, but Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei on the stage looked solemn.
Because just now, the White Dragon King sent each of them a message, and without exception, he spoke some of the secrets in their hearts.
This hand calmed Liu Dehua and others, but when Lin Youlun looked at the White Dragon King again, there was a little more doubt in his eyes.
The White Dragon King had made it clear before that there was nothing special about him after time travel, but the current situation made Lin Youlun suspect that this guy was not completely telling the truth to him.
Of course, everyone has their own secrets in their hearts. Just like Lin Youlun did not confess to the White Dragon King, it is normal for the White Dragon King to have reservations. As long as this man can be used by himself, Lin Youlun has no intention of delving into the part of the truth he concealed.
"Mr. Lin, please get up."
The White Dragon King reached out and helped Lin Youlun up, and the creative staff who were kneeling behind him also stood up.
The media reporters in the audience had a lot of questions and finally got to the free question period. Almost every main creator had seven or eight microphones stuffed in their hands.
The first person to get the opportunity to ask questions was still the reporter from Ming Pao, and the one who stood up was the middle-aged man who had been surrounded by people outside the cinema gate asking for news.
"Mr. Lin, the outside world is very surprised as to why you chose to invest in a gangster film at this time. Can you tell us the reasons why you decided to make this film?"
Originally, everyone thought that "Ming Pao" should lead the topic to the White Dragon King. Because there are only people with a little wink present. It can be seen that the entire "Infernal Affairs" crew attaches great importance to the White Dragon King, so naturally this person's identity has become the focus of everyone's attention.
The middle-aged man asked a topic that had nothing to do with this, which surprised everyone.
"What you said is not complete. It should be said that this is the first time I have invested in a gangster movie. Of course, "Infernal Affairs" is not a pure gangster movie, or it is different from all previous gangster movies. This That¡¯s why I suddenly became interested in this subject.¡±
Lin Youlun¡¯s answer was obviously meant to whet everyone¡¯s appetite, but the reporters present knew it. It would be extremely difficult to learn more about the plot of this movie from Lin Youlun.
Even the reporter from "Ming Pao" did not continue to dwell on this issue. With the question just now, he further extended his question to the future prospects of the entire Hong Kong gangster film.
This question did not go beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. If reporters from Ming Pao dwell on side issues or gossip, that would not be Ming Pao¡¯s style.
"If you ask this question, you should actually realize that Hong Kong gangster movies have indeed declined in the past two years, and I also know that many people are worried that gangster movies will be further suppressed in the future I admit that gangster movies are indeed Not as good as before, but the main reason is not what everyone thinks. The crux is that the market for gangster movies is constantly shrinking. From the beginning of "A Better Tomorrow" to the later "Young and Dangerous" and "The Lame Man", Hong Kong's Gangster movies have actually been brilliant for many years. Not to mention that the audience is tired of it, even I think it is a bit too much. Of course, what I mean here is that there are too many gangster movies that have no new ideas, such as several movies made by Johnnie To in the past two years. Gangster movies are very interesting, and the reason why I got involved in them is, to some extent, I got some inspiration from Johnnie To."
In recent years, the box office performance of Hong Kong gangster movies has indeed been worse than before, but this part of the lost market has been made up by other types of movies. The overall market has not been affected too much, so when Lin Youlun said this, no one Stand up and rebut.
Even if someone is unwilling and wants to make some articles about the return of Hong Kong, with Lin Youlun's increasingly sophisticated methods of dealing with the media in recent years, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get a useful answer from him. Rather than asking for trouble, he simply doesn't. People ask questions.
After answering a few questions, Lin Youlun left the venue midway. Many reporters at the scene saw him and the White Dragon King leaving in the same car, which further aggravated everyone's curiosity about the identity of the White Dragon King.
Followed a reporter to raise this matter, but several masters were instructed in advance, and they did not mention any topics with the White Dragon King.
The reporters tried several times to no avail, and finally gave up the idea of ??learning the identity of the White Dragon King directly from the creator of "Infernal Affairs", but privately they decided to do it wellPlease check the origin of this White Dragon King carefully.
Questions gradually returned to normal, and more reporters asked about some topics related to the "Infernal Affairs" movie itself.
As the two leading actors in the film, Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu-wai are both the focus of the media's attention. Probably because this film is their second collaboration after "City of Monsters", reporters all asked about it. The reason why the two took on this movie.
Tony Leung¡¯s answer was simple, he just said the script was good, so he acted in it, without any extra explanation.
¡°At first, the reporters in the audience were a little confused, but then Liu Dehua¡¯s answer solved some of the doubts in everyone¡¯s mind.
"He plays the good guy and I play the bad guy. Speaking of which, I feel like I'm at a disadvantage this time." Liu Dehua glanced at Liang Chaowei standing next to him and said with a smile.
Just when everyone thought he was joking, Liu Dehua explained it seriously.
"This matter has something to do with Mai Shanxiong, because he came to me some time ago and said that he had a movie in hand and wanted me to be the protagonist. At first, the role was a policeman, but later he changed it to a gang boss. Forget it like this, and then one day he suddenly called me and said, Andy, I'm sorry for you, I have given the role of that movie to someone else. I was very depressed at the time. I later found out that Maidan Xiongyi At first, he still wanted me to play the role. After all, we had already agreed before. But he went to see Mr. Lin once and saw the script of "Infernal Affairs". He felt that the role in it was more suitable for me, so he asked Lin My husband recommended me."
Liu Dehua¡¯s answer naturally came from Lin Youlun¡¯s instruction, and not long after Liu Dehua said this in front of reporters, the news reached Lin Youlun.
When Lin Zhiling received the call and came over to tell Lin Youlun about this, Lin Youlun was saying goodbye to the White Dragon King at the door of the hotel.
¡°It¡¯s rare for Master Zhou to come to Hong Kong, don¡¯t you plan to stay for a few more days?¡±
"Although Hong Kong is good, it is not a place for spiritual practice after all. I will prepare to return to Thailand early tomorrow morning."
"Now that Master has decided to leave, I can't force him to stay. I will visit Thailand again when I have time in the future."
¡°When a distinguished guest comes, I will sweep the bed to welcome him!¡±
The two of them looked at each other and smiled tacitly, watching the White Dragon King walk into the hotel, and then Lin Youlun returned to the car.
Seeing Lin Zhiling next to her who was hesitant to speak, Lin Youlun knew what she was thinking and asked with a smile: "Do you have any questions to ask me?"
"What is your relationship with Master Zhou?"
Lin Zhiling hesitated for a moment, but finally asked the question.
"So you've seen it?"
Lin Zhiling curled her lips, "You asked me to say those things to Liu Weiqiang. Only a fool can't see that there is a problem."
"Then what do you think is my relationship with him?" Lin Youlun became interested and wanted to test Lin Zhiling.
"In short, you definitely don't respect him as much as you see on the surface. It's more like there is some agreement between you." Lin Zhiling is very smart and knows what words can be said and what cannot be said, so even if she identifies the problems, That¡¯s just the point.
"Yes, there is indeed some agreement between me and him. I will help him build momentum and fame in Hong Kong, and he will also help me do something when necessary later."
Lin Youlun's confession was beyond Lin Zhiling's expectations. She was slightly startled, and then said calmly: "Actually, you don't need to explain so much to me."
Lin Youlun shrugged disapprovingly, "Do I still need to hide the things around me from you?"
Lin Zhiling¡¯s cheeks felt hot involuntarily and she quickly changed the subject.
"Then why did you and Master Zhou take sides today? I see that the media at the scene are very interested in Master Zhou. Maybe if you stay, someone will ask him questions specifically. Wouldn't that be better?"
¡°He¡¯s not a star, why does he need so much exposure?¡±
Lin Youlun's rhetorical question stunned Lin Zhiling for a moment, and then she understood what Lin Youlun meant.
It's always too much to say too much. For a person like White Dragon King, the most important thing is not to let everyone know about him, but to maintain a mystery in front of everyone, whether it is leaving the "Infernal Affairs" opening ceremony midway or shortening The trip in Hong Kong was actually designed to leave such a mystery to the outside world.
The more mysterious something is, the easier it is to arouse everyone¡¯s desire to explore.
It is foreseeable that after today, the Hong Kong media will definitely try their best to explore the details of the White Dragon King, which is much more useful than direct propaganda.
Although Lin Zhiling can¡¯t guess where Lin Youlun will use the White Dragon King in the future, since Lin YoulunIf Lun did this, there must be a reason for it, so she wasn't too worried about it.
After clearing the doubts in her heart, Lin Zhiling frowned and relaxed a lot. She was about to ask Lin Youlun, who instructed Liu Dehua to mention Mai Shanxiong's movie in front of the media, if he wanted to help promote the movie. The big brother's cell phone in the bag suddenly rang.
After answering the call and listening to a few words, Lin Zhiling covered the phone and told Lin Youlun that the call was from Wang Jing.
"What does this damn fat man want to do?"
When Lin Youlun answered the phone, a thought flashed through his mind. (To be continued)
