Chapter 308 Two Receptions (2/4)

With the explosion of the Chinese film market, Hollywood film producers are paying more and more attention to it. Every time a new movie is released, waves of Hollywood stars will come to China to promote and build momentum. Climbing the Great Wall, visiting the Forbidden City, and eating roast duck are all... Hollywood movies come to China for promotion...

In fact, the most interesting Hollywood star to come to China for promotion should be Ian McKellen...

In addition to visiting scenic spots, he also went to...uh, bj's gay bar~

The most amazing thing is...he also went to the famous People’s Park Dating Corner in Shanghai!!

And he wrote a self-introduction: "Height is five feet and eleven, seventy-seven years old, graduated from Cambridge University, owns a house in London"...

The promotion for "Super Body" originally planned to "climb the Great Wall, visit the Forbidden City, and eat roast duck"...

But Shen Changlin doesn’t like roast duck!

I simply took them to taste the soybean juice and braised pork...

Cameras follow them - it's propaganda!

Shen Changlin ordered 10,000 bean juice and braised pork for each of the three of them, and said by the way: "Let me tell you, this is the most authentic delicacy of old BJ..."

"Then why didn't you order?"

"...I can't get used to it..."

Shen Changlin rarely eats braised pork outside. How should I put it? The offal is delicious after being prepared. But now the meat sold in supermarkets basically only has pork liver, pork loin, pork belly, and other intestines and lungs. Sold. No one who cooks home-cooked food is willing to clean the intestines and lungs. Can you expect a small store to clean them for you?

Anyway, there are very few large intestines in small shops that don’t smell bad.

Of course, some people like this.

The braised pork Shen Changlin ordered didn't let them put in the intestines or lungs...

He ordered two steamed buns, fried chicken drumsticks and a bowl of tofu. Then he watched Scarlett Johansson dig a spoonful of bean juice, smell it...and then retched...looking at him in surprise: "Is this food?"

"It's food!" Shen Changlin laughed so happily: "Old BJ Douzhier..."

He looked at James Wan and said, "Come on, James, let's challenge him!"

Wen Ziren took the bowl and smelled it...

"Don't smell it, this stuff is made from fermented mung beans and has a sour smell. Those who don't like to drink it say it tastes like swill and sour. Those who like it say that other things can't smell like this. It's sour!"

Wen Ziren also retched: "...I can't..."

"Then you won't be able to enjoy it!"

"Lei, try it!"

Leigh Whannell looked eager to try...

Shen Changlin didn't look at him at all. He didn't think foreigners would eat this at all. He turned to the camera and explained: "Actually, no matter how you evaluate it from any dimension, soybean juice is terrible to drink... As a local specialty food, soybean juice has its own unique characteristics. Advantages, in fact, each region may have some foods that are difficult for non-locals to accept, especially those with strange tastes. Shaoxing has stinky amaranth, ah has stinky mandarin fish, Guangxi has snail noodles... Let me go, you actually drank it? "

Ray Whannell gave a thumbs up: "I quite like the smell of stinky cheese!"

"Blue cheese..." Shen Changlin was confused for a moment, then understood, and explained to the camera: "Oh, he is talking about stinky cheese. Let me do some science. Blue cheese, also called blue cheese, is a kind of cheese, which is all cheese. One of the most unique flavors in cheese, it is mainly made by mixing blue mold and curd evenly, then filling them together in a mold for maturation. The taste is different from the mild white mold cheese, showing a strong and spicy style. Full of personality...If you don't like it, you'll find it smelly..."

"Let's go, let's take you to eat real good food!"

While walking, Shen Changlin complained to the camera: "When friends from out of town come to BJ and want to eat some BJ specialties, I usually can only think of roast duck and boiled mutton... I struggled with the third meal, but it's enough to fool the foreigners. !”

"Next stop, Hui Feng Tang, let's go eat Liu San Bai and Lafayette Chicken!"



The promotion of "Super Body" will be made into a 30-minute food program, which will be released on Tengxun and iQiyi.

The publicity effect...

I can only say that it’s okay, and it grabbed a few headlines…

After all, "Super Body" is not really a big IP. Compared with Scarlett Johansson, the audience is actually more familiar with the widowed sister!

By the way, Shen Changlin only stayed with her for half a day, and Liu Qianqian was the host for the rest of the time...

After all, she is the selling point of "Super Body".

Shen Changlin deliberately broke up with her, not to avoid suspicion, but mainly because she had to be interviewed in the morning, and Shen Changlin's reception was considered 'private' and was not included in the publicity plan!

After finishing work, Director Shen... went to meet Director Chen Musheng and the actors of "Montage"...



The story of "Montage" is very simple. Fifteen years ago, the impoverished Han Zhe brutally kidnapped, blackmailed and killed the innocent girl Xizhen because his daughter had a heart attack and needed expensive surgery. Fifteen years later, when the criminal prosecution period had expired, Xizhen Jane's mother used the same method to kidnap Han Zhe's granddaughter Xiaochun...

The script is complete, but not fresh. The biggest highlight is the narrative trick - time narration and space narration...

For the so-called time narration, you can refer to "The Flowers of the Heart Flow";

Space narration deliberately induces the audience to shoot one corner of the same space. When another corner appears again, the audience will not know that it is the same space!

Director Chen Musheng, Johnnie To and Lau Weiqiang are known as the three new heroes of Hong Kong film industry...

They became famous earlier than Wilson Yip, Lin Chaoxian, and Chen Jiashang.

At the beginning of this century, the latter two were not as good as Chen Musheng and Wei Weiqiang in mainstream commercial films, and they did not have Johnnie To's courage and strength.

Naturally, he failed to be selected as the new three heroes...

Ever since Chen Musheng messed up "City Alert", he seems to have suddenly lost his ability to film. "New Shaolin Temple", "Dangerous City", "Meow", each one is more outrageous than the last!

"Sweeping Drugs" is not bad, leaving a lot of golden sentences:

"I'm determined to take Duan Kun! Even Jesus can't keep him! I said so!"

"Five years! Five years!! Do you know how I lived these five years?"

"Awei is already dead, you chose him! Idol!"

Back to the topic, this time "Montage" hired him as director because of his relatively mature execution ability...

In terms of control and execution of action scenes, how many directors from the Mainland can compare with those from Hong Kong?

Hong Kong directors are obviously better than mainland directors in terms of performance techniques. For the simplest example, you can see if you look at the camera placement and editing. The difference is not even a little bit different.

Since Changlin Film and Television Hong Kong Branch wants to make a work that will carry the flag of the Hong Kong film market, it must use a good director...

Forget about Peng Haoxiang and so on, Chen Musheng is very suitable!

However, when they met, Shen Changlin mainly chatted with Shesman - one of the childhood goddesses...

"The first TV series I watched starring Sister Ah She was probably "Blood Sword". You played the Ninth Princess. At that time, I felt that there was someone above you. You were obviously the second female lead, but you were cast as the first female lead. On the contrary, The real female lead Wen Qingqing is annoying!"

In "Blue Blood Sword", the princess Ajiu in the book is transformed into a chivalrous heroine who combines Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo. The original heroine Wen Qingqing is a glorious cannon fodder.

Of course, compared to Xia Xueyi, Ah Jiu is not too outrageous. After all, in the TV series, Xia Xueyi invented Wen Qian before she died, and staged a forbidden love between brother-in-law and sister-in-law...

Shesman explained: "...our screenwriting teacher doesn't like Wen Qingqing...and the role of Xia Xueyi was played too well by Jiang Hua...then Yuan Chengzhi's sense of presence will be weakened, and Wen Qingqing's sense of presence will also be reduced..."

"TVB has changed a lot of Jin Yong's original works during that time. The good "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon" was suddenly split into two parts: "The Dragon Sword" and "The Heaven Sword"..."

"Have you not seen my first drama "Snowy Mountain Flying Fox"?"

"...Who acted?"

"Teacher Chen Jinhong and Shao Meiqi..."

"...I watched Meng Fei's version..."
