Christmas has just passed, and the new year is coming, and the streets are once again filled with a festive atmosphere. In the Eastern world, New Year's Day in 1983 was obviously not as popular and recognized as the Chinese Lunar New Year. However, due to
With the invasion of Western culture and lifestyle, many countries and regions in Asia, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, still attach great importance to the arrival of the first day of the new year.
On the last day of 1982, the crowd had dispersed early after a crazy night. However, they left behind man-made rubbish on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront and near the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower and Lan Kwai Fong. Although the cleaning workers had already cleaned up part of it, they could still get rid of it.
It can be seen that these people celebrated New Year's Day in a lively atmosphere last night.[]
But even so, it still does not harm the habit of having a morning tea with the family on the New Year's Day morning. The "Miramar Hotel" located on Nathan Road in Kowloon not only offers Chinese cuisine such as pork ribs, siomai, and shrimp dumplings, but also Western-style milk.
, toast and three
There are various types of Wen Zhi, and they can satisfy the different breakfast styles and habits of Chinese and Westerners. Therefore, many Hong Kong citizens like this restaurant to have dinner in a luxury hotel like this in the downtown area, which can be regarded as a joyful occasion.
The first program of the new year.
But at dawn today, a group of citizens, old and young, who came to the "Miramar Hotel" unexpectedly discovered that they were not the first group of people to come. The lobby of the "Miramar Hotel" was already crowded with people.
Nearly a hundred people, no exception in their hands
, all carrying long guns and short cannons, and some of them were wearing windbreakers with the names of their respective newspapers and magazines printed on them. The citizens who came to the hotel to have morning tea were all curious. Could it be that the hotel is holding a journalists’ fun day today?
Why are all the people here, young and old, reporters?
Some people who gossiped about it suddenly realized after asking the hotel waiters. It turned out that these reporters were not here to drink morning tea, nor was the hotel holding a fun day. These reporters came to the "Miramar Hotel" so early and had received invitations.
, participating in today’s meeting held in the hotel’s conference hall
A press conference. Although the conference hall of the hotel is relatively large, it cannot hold the many reporters sent by more than a hundred entertainment media companies in Hong Kong. Therefore, these reporters have to ask questions in order to get the front row position.
The opportunity will come early in the morning to prepare for the "top position".
What kind of press conference can attract such entertainment media to attend? This arouses the interest of those gossip masters. As housewives, they are either busy with trivial matters at home or following a crowd all day long.
The eight mothers-in-law, chatting, spanking, and talking about trivial things are just a kind of small entertainment to kill time. Now that they encounter such interesting things, how can they not be tempted?
So this person asked here, where did he get any reliable information, and all kinds of gossip spread quickly from the hotel. Qiu Guan, Liu Songren and Brigitte Lin are all coming to the hotel to attend the reception. This is eight
The only thing the ladies have to say is the same news.
Families who were originally going to other nearby hotels received calls from like-minded wives before leaving the door, and they also rushed to the "Miramar Hotel" with their families to join in the fun. Let the "Miramar Hotel" host New Year's Day morning tea this year
The turnover was 30% more than in previous years.
This press conference for [New Shushan Swordsman] is the first meeting between the main creative staff and the media since the filming of the film started, and it is also likely to be the only one. Many media who have been paying attention to this film for a long time are working hard to
We also prepared many questions. At this press conference, Mu Qiu received the answers that Hong Kong citizens were most concerned about.
case. The reception was supposed to start at ten o'clock, but before eight o'clock, a large group of reporters had gathered in the lobby and entrance of the hotel. By the time it was almost time, the number of reporters gathered in the hotel had exceeded 200 people, including not all ordinary journalists.
Media practitioners from Macau, Taiwan, Japan, Southeast Asia, and some European and American news media based in Hong Kong.
The hotel did not expect so many reporters to arrive. For safety and security reasons, the hotel lobby manager slowly arranged for reporters to enter the conference hall first to avoid too many people gathering in the lobby and causing chaos. By the way, I also followed
The "Tsui Hark Film Studio" that hosted the reception said hello and asked them to avoid as much as possible when coming.
Avoid going through the front door, because there are not only more than 200 reporters here, but also a large number of movie fans who are ready to see the stars. If the stars enter through the front door, it will definitely be chaotic. The hotel does not want to open the door on the first day of the new year.
God, it brings chaos to the hotel. Not to mention that there are so many reporters here, which also affects the image of the hotel.
The conference hall of the hotel was already full. Reporters who knew each other were discussing in low voices some of the latest news they had received. They were also asking each other what questions the other party would ask, trying to avoid repetition. For a while, the meeting
The hall was so noisy that it was no different from a street market. On the rostrum of the conference hall, there was a long table with about a dozen chairs in front. The reporters’ eyes wandered from time to time. Because their goal today was to sit on it.
That group of people.
Arriving just after ten o'clock, the main creative staff of [New Shushan Swordsman], who had already arrived from the staff passage of the hotel, filed out of the side passage of the conference hall. When the reporters took a look, it was as stated in the invitation that the entire crew
heavy
All the important actors are present one by one. Cheng Shaoqiu, Liu Songyan, Brigitte Lin Qingxia, Meng Hai, Yuan Biao, Weng Qianyu, Li Saifeng, director Tsui Hark, producer Wu Siyuan, martial arts instructors Yuan Kui, Yuan Heping, planner Shi Nansheng and producer Wu Yu.
Such a luxurious main creative lineup really made the reporters' eyes light up. They all knew that this press conference would definitely not be a casual one. With so many big names here, there would be a lot of exciting information to be dug out. So,
The reporters all began to gear up, took out their reporter notebooks, and checked the cameras in their hands.
As the planner of the film, Shi Nansheng is of course the host of today's press conference. It is enough to see that reporters have basically arrived, including reporters from Japan, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. "Dear media reporters,
Please be quiet, please be quiet. The press conference is about to begin. I will talk about the process of the reception now, and it will be carried out in accordance with the process I mentioned later."
Following Shi Nansheng's words, the reporters' whispers slowly subsided, but the cameras in their hands kept flashing. Fortunately, this was not the first time for the celebrities sitting on the stage to face such reporters. Regarding the cameras in the reporters' hands,
They have become accustomed to the flash lights. However, they did not expect that there would be so many reporters coming to the reception today, including foreign reporters.
"Dear reporters, the press conference is about to begin. We will first play a promotional video of [New Shushan Swordsman] that has just been completed. I hope all journalists will pay attention to watch it. Then we will announce some of the previously released details of [New Shushan Swordsman].
For news that has not been released, the last step is the time for reporters to ask questions. The estimated time for questions is about an hour. However, each reporter friend whose name is called can only ask one question. We will try our best to ask questions.
I can answer every question you raised. After the questions are asked, we have arranged a sumptuous luncheon in the hotel. We hope that all the journalists will appreciate it, and all the creative staff will also attend." Shi Nansheng's words once again aroused
The reporters were talking about it. They never expected that the crew would actually arrange a luncheon, and the main creators would also attend, so they could conduct personal interviews then. How could they not be happy?
As soon as Shi Nansheng finished speaking, the lights in the conference hall were extinguished, and a white curtain sealed with a red curtain on the podium was opened, and a beam of light emitted from the projector illuminated the white curtain.
.The reporters' voices fell silent again. Pay attention to see how this so-called promotional video is different from the first trailer released. It can become the first arrangement of the press conference.
Zheng Shaoqiu is wearing a white coat and hat, with two swords on his back and one finger with both hands. The two swords are flying in the starry sky like shooting stars, dazzling. Liu Songren is wearing a monk's robe and has huge beads in his hands, showing his merits in slaying demons for the Buddha.
Infinite and boundless power. Yuan Biao and Meng Hai’s little soldier and little monk shapes,
Weaving among many monsters of all kinds, the purple and white swords, like the laser swords of Skywalker in "Star Wars", surround the two of them and kill them among the monsters, fully feeling that evil cannot defeat good.
Xu Shaoqiang's special appearance has made many people confused about his lineup.
The actor's powerful magic spells stunned some reporters. It turns out that martial arts can still be expressed in this way. It turns out that people can fly with swords. It turns out that it is not necessary to have a strong horse on an iron bridge to be good-looking. Which of them have watched the trailer?
Reporter, now that I have seen the many different looks, magic and martial arts moves of the actors, as well as the realistic and illusory special effects, I have been deeply fascinated, and my eyes can't be separated from the small white curtain.
.
As the looks of various actresses appeared, reporters' concerns were once again piqued. Brigitte Lin, the first generation of "Jade Girl Leader", was equally gorgeous in ancient costumes, with her hair full of classical sophistication.
Her hair is in a bun, and many strands of flying ribbons are wrapped around her body. When they dance, it makes people feel like they are in a dreamy scene where they have been banished to the mortal world.
Li Saifeng and Weng Qianyu danced their swords back and forth on a wall full of flying apsaras. Together with the various forms of flying apsaras in the painting, they made them look like nine-day fairies. Especially in the last part, the three women were centered on Qingxia, and Weng Qianyu
With Li Saifeng by his side, with two swords and
Countless ribbons with starlight pointed at a black ball representing evil. When the two parties touched, the brightest light burst out. The promotional video ended, and many reporters were attracted. They were still interested in this film.
Many assumptions about the ending.
Quiet, really quiet. This promotional video has subverted the scope of previous movie promotions. When have reporters seen this kind of promotional video that combines looks, moves, and summaries of good and evil? In the end, it also gave reporters an unknown ending, which caused
It brought endless reverie. The reporters were still thinking about it. Until the lights in the conference hall came on again, the reporters were still completely stunned by what they saw in front of them.
I don’t know who applauded first. For a while, the entire conference hall was filled with applause, which was also mixed with the applause and shouts of many reporters. The hotel waiters outside the conference hall were all
I'm very curious as to what happened inside that caused such intense applause and cheers.
Tsui Hark and Wu Siyuan looked at each other. They had not expected such a result. When Feng Yifeng had not finished filming the film and was still in the final post-production of the previous episode, he deployed personnel and special effects artists to create it.
Both Tsui Hark and Wu Siyuan disagreed with that promotional video. Because doing so would not only delay the filming progress, but also delay the post-production of the previous episode, which would most likely miss the Lunar New Year release date.
But Feng Yifeng insisted on his opinion again and again, and even held many meetings with Tsui Hark, Wu Siyuan, and other actors to convince them, just for this more than one minute promotional video. But now it seems that everything is worth it. Reporters
The enthusiastic response is enough to prove the success of this promotional video.
