Chapter 145: Launching Press Conference, Angry Journalist Monthly Pass
Zhang Xiao suppressed a smile and said: "When did I say that I lost the election? Although my opponents were formidable this time, they still lost to me in the end."
"ah···"
Yang Mi on the other end of the phone screamed and said coquettishly: "You Zhang Xiao, how dare you tease me, don't you?"
"Hahaha!" Zhang Xiao laughed loudly and said: "You are the one who is making me laugh. Who made you so busy all day and not come back to accompany me?"
"By the way, honey, I have signed a contract with the crew of "Infernal Affairs" to play the leading actor Chen Yongren. The salary is 5 million, and the schedule is about a month."
Yang Mi said happily: "It's great, great, husband, you can actually cooperate with the three great movie kings, Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat, and Tony Leung Ka-fai. It's great, it's amazing."
Zhang Xiao said angrily: "Hey, there's nothing I can do about it. Who made your husband so good?"
"However, I have to thank you, wife, for this. If you weren't well-informed, I might have missed this classic movie."
"It's good that you know!" Yang Mi said with a smile.
···
That night, the crew of "Infernal Affairs" announced the cast list online, and Zhang Xiao's name appeared in the leading starring column alongside Liu Huade.
Now Zhang Xiao's fans were in a frenzy.
"I'll go, I read that right, I'm actually in the same frame as King Andy Lau."
"Brother, you are not blind. Not only are Xiao Shen and Andy Lau in the same frame, they also starred in "Infernal Affairs" together."
"Damn it, Xiao Shen is really awesome."
"Looking at the announced cast list for this movie, they are all big names. Andy Lau, Tony Leung Ka-fai, and Chow Yun-fat are all top performers. Xiao Shen is actually able to cooperate with them. This is the time to take off!
"
""Infernal Affairs" is said to be a rescue film for Hong Kong Island. It is really unexpected that Xiao Shen can be included in it."
"The media in Hong Kong are all reporting, saying that Xiao Shen defeated eight movie stars including Gu Tianle, Liu Qingyun, and Simon Yam, and successfully won this role."
"Damn it, Xiao Shen is so awesome, his acting skills are like a martial arts emperor."
"Xiao Shen is the number one actor in our young generation in China and will not accept any refutation."
"Congratulations to Xiao Shen for starring in "Infernal Affairs"!"
"Looking forward to Xiao Shen creating another classic!"
“···”
Many fans are surprised that Zhang Xiao can star in "Infernal Affairs", Hong Kong's salvation film, but at the same time they are also looking forward to Zhang Xiao being able to bring everyone another classic.
···
Soon, "Infernal Affairs" officially started shooting. Before the shooting, a press conference was held, and reporters all targeted Zhang Xiao.
The reporter asked: "Director Liu, Director Wei, why did you choose Zhang Xiao to play the leading actor?"
Liu Weiqiang looked at the reporter and replied without hesitation: "Because of his acting skills."
At this time, the reporter asked again: "Director Liu, do you mean that Zhang Xiao's acting skills are better than those of the other eight movie kings? Is that what you mean?"
Hearing this, Liu Weiqiang frowned and said, "I didn't say that. What I meant was that for the role of Chen Yongren, Xiao Zai is more suitable."
"As for the other eight, they and I are all old friends. I hope you won't come here to stir up trouble and sow discord."
However, the reporter who asked the question handed the microphone to Zhang Xiao and asked: "Zhang Xiao, may I ask, do you think you are qualified to experiment with the protagonist Chen Yongren?"
Zhang Xiao was stunned. He obviously didn’t expect that reporters from Hong Kong Island seemed to be hostile to him, but he didn’t take it to heart. He replied calmly: “I don’t have the final say on whether you are qualified or not, but the director and
The cast and crew of "Infernal Affairs" and future fans have the final say."
"Zhang Xiao, do you think your ability to play the leading role really depends on your acting skills?" At this time, the reporter asked again.
Hearing this question, I felt a little unhappy. I didn't seem to dig your ancestral graves. Is there any need to ask me such a malicious question?
So, Zhang Xiao directly pushed back and said: "This journalist friend, the two directors and Brother Hua who hosted the audition at the time were all here. Apart from my acting skills, what else do you think I can do to impress them?
"
Seeing that the reporter was about to ask another question, Zhang Xiao took the lead and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. Your way of asking questions and your tone make me very annoying. It's like you have decided that I am unreliable."
It’s like I got this role through legitimate means.”
"If you have any ill intentions towards me, I hope you will remember one thing, you can only talk to me and never try to fight me, because you can't beat me!"
"If you have no ill intentions towards me and this is just your habit of asking questions, then I advise you to change it quickly, because if you meet some hot-tempered people with this way of asking questions, you may be beaten.
"
After Zhang Xiao finished speaking, the whole audience burst into laughter.
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha!"
"Where did this raw melon egg come from? Haven't you read the entertainment news? How dare you bring trouble to Xiao Shen?"
Everyone sneered, making the reporter who asked the question blush with anger. He looked at Zhang Xiao and asked, "Are you threatening me?"
"Threat?" Hearing this word, Zhang Xiao was immediately happy and said: "You can actually interpret my words as a threat. I have to question your understanding of Mandarin."
"I think it would be better for you to go back to school and re-learn your Mandarin proficiency, so as not to make a bigger joke in the future."
"Hahaha!" Zhang Xiao's words once again caused the whole audience to laugh.
At this time, Zhou Runfa who was standing next to him glanced at Zhang Xiao with admiration, stood up and said: "Dear journalists, I assure you with my own personality that Xiao Zai conquered the four of us with his acting skills, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with him.
Justifiable means."
"If you still don't believe it, you can ask the other eight actors who auditioned with him at that time and see what they said."
There is no doubt about Chow Yun-fat's status in the Hong Kong film industry. Now that he has said this, the reporters below immediately did not dare to make an issue in this regard.
After the brief press conference, Andy Lau patted Zhang Xiao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Good performance. The reporter just now is a reporter from Hong Kong Film Weekly, nicknamed Stubble."
"If we want to say who the artists in Hong Kong hate the most, then he is definitely the first to bear the brunt. You just made him blush and have a thick neck. You have given us a bad breath!"
Zhang Xiao smiled and asked in confusion: "I don't know this guy either, why is he deliberately targeting me?"
Chapter completed!
