Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The next morning, the press conference of "The King of Kung Fu" was held as scheduled in the open air in front of the Si Hai Gui Yi Hall in the Qin Palace.  However, the sky was not beautiful, and it started to rain continuously, which was disappointing.  Fortunately, the crew and creative staff were all seated under the eaves in front of the palace, so there was no risk of being hit by the rain. However, the reporters who came to interview were in bad luck. They had no eaves to protect them from the rain, so they had to find rain gear to protect themselves.  It rained, which also brought a lot of inconvenience to the interview work.  But regardless of convenience or not, the press conference will still go on.  As soon as the time came, the main creative staff came on stage, took a group photo together, and then sat down. From left to right, they were photographer Bao Dexi, Zhang Chengyuan, director Rob Minkoff, Liu Yifei, Cheng Long, and Jet Li.  , Li Binbin, male lead Michael Angarano, producer Casey Silver, and Wang Zhonglei, the Chinese partner of the film representing Huayi Company, a total of ten people, sat in a row.  Except for the two actresses Liu Yifei and Li Binbin, the other eight all wore the One Foundation T-shirts presented by Jet Li last night.  For the media at the scene, Zhang Chengyuan may be the person they are least familiar with, because most of the media at the scene are Chinese media, there are a few Western media, but there are no Korean media, and perhaps there are not even a few reporters who know him.  Therefore, almost no one paid attention to Zhang Chengyuan.  However, this is fine, without the attention of cameras, Zhang Chengyuan feels more at ease.  When the press conference started, Zhang Chengyuan either wandered in a trance, or looked at the entire Qin Palace from a distance. Even he could not have seen such a majestic and simple building like the Qin Palace in his previous life, because before the Song Dynasty, the Qin Palace had long disappeared in the long river of history.  How could Zhang Chengyuan, a man from the early Song Dynasty, see him after thousands of years?  When I saw him at this time, I felt that he was majestic and domineering.  Compared with this, Gyeongbokgung Palace in South Korea is really not worth mentioning.  This press conference was started by Wang Zhonglei, followed by Keith Xiaofan.  This may be because Wang Zhonglei is the representative of Chinese investors and a "local snake". Although the producer Casey Silver is the representative of American investors and has a larger investment amount, he is a guest from afar after all.  , it would be difficult to take the lead.  Wang Zhonglei spoke a few words briefly, with a calm and humble demeanor, and spoke fluently and decently, almost without thinking. It was obvious that he was used to this kind of scene and could handle it with ease.  As for Casey Silver, a tall and thin old man, I don¡¯t know whether it¡¯s because he doesn¡¯t understand the language and needs a translator, or because he rarely interacts with the Chinese media. He looks a little shy and speaks very slowly. He doesn¡¯t look like a person with status at all.  People, please note that at this time he is the chairman and CEO of Universal Pictures, one of the eight major film companies in Hollywood.  Compared to Wang Zhonglei, Zhang Chengyuan has a better impression of Casey Silver, because Wang Zhonglei did not mention him at all, but Keith Xiao Fan mentioned his name. Although it was just a casual mention, it made Zhang Chengyuan  I feel a little better.  After the two investor representatives finished speaking, several main creators present began to speak one by one.  The first person to speak was photographer Bao Dexi. He spoke very concisely. He only said a few words and then stopped. Perhaps he felt that reporters nowadays are waiting for Cheng Long and Jet Li, the two international kung fu superstars, to speak, instead of speaking.  A few people wanted to hear his nonsense, so they stopped talking.  Compared with him, Zhang Chengyuan was more knowledgeable. He only said two sentences from beginning to end. He said: "I am very happy to work with two eldest brothers, Cheng Long and Jet Li, as well as so many outstanding actors and staff. I feel very happy."  It's an honor! I will definitely play my role well in this film!" After saying that, he bowed to express his gratitude, then sat back in his seat, pretending to be listening attentively to others.  In fact, he fell into a daze again.  When he woke up, everyone else had already finished speaking. The press conference had reached the second half and entered the stage of personal interviews.  There are not many media outlets willing to interview Zhang Chengyuan, only Xinlang Entertainment. Moreover, Xinlang Entertainment did not come to interview Zhang Chengyuan specifically. Instead, they interviewed all the creative staff one by one. In the end, only Zhang Chengyuan was left. Maybe it was Zhang Chengyuan.  I felt that I should start well and end well, so I interviewed Zhang Chengyuan.  Zhang Chengyuan is not angry at being treated like this. He knows that he does not have much news value in the eyes of China's mainstream media. If it were a news media reporting on Korean entertainment, he would have much more weight.  Moreover, the two superstars Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are here, so it is normal that no one pays attention to him.  At the moment, he calmly accepted an interview with a reporter from Xinlang Entertainment.  A young reporter who looks like he is just starting out.  Zhang Chengyuan guessed that those old reporters might be too busy interviewing other people to bother with him, so he asked this young reporter to interview him.  The reporter greeted Zhang Chengyuan in English, and when he was about to ask, Zhang Chengyuan said in Chinese: "Speak to me in Chinese, I can understand it!" His words were correct and his accent was much more standard than most Chinese people.  The reporter was surprised, praised Zhang Chengyuan a few words, and then asked: "Mr. Zhang, you are a Korean actor, how come you came here to film?" Zhang Chengyuan thought the young reporter's question was interesting, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "The crew came to Hengdian to film. As a member of the crew, I naturally have to follow.  Here we go!¡± The reporter quickly corrected him: ¡°Oh, I made a mistake. I¡¯m sorry! I wanted to ask how you got into this crew and got your current role.¡± Zhang Chengyuan said lightly: ¡°Last year, I was lucky enough to work with you.  We filmed "Rush Hour 3" with Brother Cheng Long and performed well. Brother Cheng Long praised me, so he recommended me to audition for "The King of Kung Fu". After the audition, I got the role."  The reporter said: "I heard that there was also a Chinese actor Zou Zhaolong who participated in the audition. It is said that he was recommended by Jet Li. How did you defeat Zou Zhaolong? Is it because of Cheng Long's recommendation?" This young reporter spoke very directly.  , the implication is that it was Cheng Long¡¯s recommendation that he could play this role. In addition, there is a deeper meaning: Cheng Long¡¯s recommendation surpassed Li Lianjie¡¯s recommendation.  In other words, Cheng Long is more energetic than Jet Li.  Zhang Chengyuan heard the meaning, but he pretended not to know and avoided answering: "I don't know what you said. When I went to the audition, I was the only one. As soon as the audition was over, the director told me that I passed  As for whether there are other audition actors and whether Brother Jet Li has recommended anyone else, you should ask the director and Brother Jet Li. You won¡¯t get the answer if you ask me. "The reporter said: "Then do you think the director is interested in you.  What made you play this role?" Zhang Chengyuan said thoughtfully: "First of all, I think my image is good. Don't you deny this?" The reporter immediately nodded. If Zhang Chengyuan's appearance is not good,  Then there are not many handsome men in the world.  Zhang Chengyuan continued: "Secondly, it is my image. I think it is very suitable for the role I am playing now, the God of War. Well, the God of War is the marshal in heaven. His image is very powerful and domineering, and I am tall enough."  , is also very tall and strong, which is relatively rare among Asian actors. Relatively speaking, he is more suitable than other actors for playing this role. Of course, the right image is only one of the reasons. The key is to have excellent acting skills and skills.  In both respects, I am no worse than others!" The reporter asked: "You think your acting skills and skills are excellent, so can you tell how outstanding it is?" Zhang Chengyuan said calmly: "This is your question.  It's very inappropriate. I won't answer because I don't know how to answer it appropriately. Moreover, if you knew me a little bit, you wouldn't doubt what I just said, and you wouldn't ask me this question.  !¡± Although Zhang Chengyuan didn¡¯t say a word of reprimand, he didn¡¯t get angry or assertive. The young reporter couldn¡¯t help but be a little scared, thinking: ¡°This Korean actor may be really suitable for playing a role like the Marshal of Heaven. After he took a look at it,  I was flustered." He apologized hastily, "Mr. Zhang, I'll check your information in detail when I get back." Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said, "You don't have to panic, can you continue to ask?"  "Then let me take the liberty to ask, how does your skill compare with the two elder brothers Cheng Long and Li Lianjie?" Zhang Chengyuan said: "It's hard to say. I haven't really competed with elder brothers Cheng Long and Li Lianjie. How do you do it?"  Do you know? If you just rely on speculation, you can't take it seriously! I can only tell you that in this movie, I lost to the Sun Wukong played by Brother Li Lianjie. As for Brother Cheng Long, we didn't have the opposite role this time.  , if you want to know how I fought with him, you can watch "The Peak 3", which was released in August this year. "So, can you tell me, who is the king of kung fu in this movie?" This question is:  It is estimated that many media reporters and audiences want to know, but although this movie is called "The King of Kung Fu" in Chinese, it is just a gimmick. It does not tell who the King of Kung Fu is at all, but only talks about some concepts about Kung Fu.  , how did Zhang Chengyuan answer?  There is no answer at all!  And Zhang Chengyuan dare not say that there is no Kung Fu King, because the crew requested that no information about this aspect be disclosed.  So Zhang Chengyuan excused himself: "I have already said enough about the plot information, and I can't say any more! If you have other questions, I will be happy to answer them. If not, then the interview will end here!"  After that, the reporter asked some questions that had nothing to do with the main purpose of the press conference, such as his impression of China, whether he likes Chinese food, his impressions of Hengdian, etc. Zhang Chengyuan answered patiently and said a lot of sincere and kind words, which made Zhang Chengyuan patiently answer.  This reporter had a good impression of Zhang Chengyuan. After the interview, he was not in a hurry to leave. He turned off the instrument and started chatting with Zhang Chengyuan.  Zhang Chengyuan isNothing happened, so I chatted with him.  Soon after, the press conference ended. Zhang Chengyuan said goodbye to the reporter, and then quickly left with the crew through the pre-arranged safe passage. As for the young reporter he had just met, he immediately forgot about it.  Because he felt that the chance of the two meeting again in the future was very slim. In that case, why bother to remember it?
