Chapter 711 Test Screening

Meng Jing returned to the magazine and reported to the editor-in-chief about the press conference.

She is now a counterpart reporter for Good Dream Company, and she is responsible for the entertainment news about Good Dream Company.

The articles in the series "Literary Life" are popular among readers and have been reproduced by many media. They are known for their delicate writing, detailed content and novel angles.

Meng Jing's reputation in the entertainment journalism circle has increased greatly.

Before online media developed, the influence of print media should not be underestimated. People are accustomed to reading newspapers and magazines, rather than learning about the world through computers.

Good Dream Company provides a lot of internal information, such as the overseas release of a certain film, the stills of actors, and the identification of the authenticity of various entertainment news.

Many information is unreachable to outsiders.

This makes Meng Jing's report more real and powerful. In exchange, there should be no negative news about Haomeng Company in the report. It is okay to sarcasm and ridicule, but not to slander or slander.

This is a normal phenomenon in the circle.

After reporting on the main characters of Good Dream Company, Meng Jing turned his attention to young actors.

For example, Huang Xiaoming, Liu Tao, Gao Yuanyuan and Huang Bo, who have emerged in the past two years.

The title of Good Dream Company's Star-making Factory is veritable, and it made a group of actors famous in the 1990s, such as Yu Feihong, Xu Jinglei and Zhang Jiayi.

Meng Jing looked through the actor's information and noticed a phenomenon.

Several of the actors who have become popular in Haomeng Company in the past two years are the same agents, especially Zhao Liying, the child star who is moving internationally.

She used to not pay much attention to her agent, and the agent was behind the scenes and was not the focus of entertainment news.

The same is true now, she was just a little curious.

In September, Haomeng Company held a preview meeting, inviting film critics and reporters to watch "Infernal Affairs", which is part of the publicity, and through them, the reputation of the movie is spread.

Generally speaking, film companies only have a preview meeting if they are confident in the quality of the film.

If the film is too bad and the critics are embarrassed to praise it after watching it, it will be meaningless.

Meng Jing attended the preview and took a sneak peek.

She found that although this "Infernal Affairs" is under the banner of police and gang films, it is a relatively quiet film without the kind of hot action and gun battle scenes.

To say quiet is not accurate, it should be tension and suspense, and focus on psychological portrayal.

Entering this circle, Meng Jing has read countless movies, and is considered half a film critic. "Infernal Affairs" is different from the Xiangjiang Gang film, and is an anti-traditional film.

If it is for the audience who are excited, I am afraid it will be disappointed.

The whole film is filled with sadness, and two undercover agents struggle in their respective worlds and cannot be relieved.

Meng Jing is a young literary girl. She usually likes to watch art films and drink coffee. She has a petty bourgeois mood and is a bit pretentious.

This film is just in line with her appetite. The two stars Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei took the lead. In comparison, she prefers Liang Chaowei's performance.

Several supporting roles have a huge acting and full of tension, which sets off the atmosphere.

She paid special attention to Huang Bo, who is not inferior to the many actors in Xiangjiang and has performed her own characteristics.

The preview screening is the mainland version. Huang Bo has a lot of scenes and has a complete storyline. This is the foreshadowing laid for filming the sequel.

Meng Jing had a premonition that this movie would become popular.

Mainland audiences have a special feeling for Hong Kong films. "Infernal Affairs" has the pure genes of Hong Kong films, making breakthroughs in narratives, giving people a refreshing feeling.

As soon as Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei appeared, they were full of memories, which were reminiscences of the glorious Hong Kong films in the 1980s.

"Infernal Affairs" requires celebrities to have stars, plots, acting skills, and feelings. There is basically nothing to be picky about.

If you really have regrets, it means that the actress doesn’t have much effect in the play and becomes a vase.

Others who participated in the preview felt that it was almost the same, and they generally believed that it was an excellent Hong Kong film with excellent production.

However, the reviews of "Infernal Affairs" were mixed during its preview in Xiangjiang.

Xiangjiang filmmakers are familiar with the routines of police and gangster films, but "Infernal Affairs" does not follow the routines.

According to everyone's idea, with such a big investment and so many stars, there must be scenes of speed chase and explosion, but I didn't expect that even gun battle scenes were pitifully few.

They don't understand how to attract audiences when shooting like this.

The movie screening ended and everyone applauded warmly.

Members of the crew of "Infernal Affairs" came on stage to thank them. Only directors, Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei, and Huang Bo, who were promoted in the mainland.

As soon as they sat on the stage, a reporter asked the most concerned questions.

"In the past, when we watched police and gang films in Xiangjiang, we would see many special stunt scenes, but there were almost no in this drama. Director, what did you think about it?" the reporter asked.

"This film mainly expresses the drama between people, and we don't do special stunts. We have more than ten minutes of stunts, but you can't see that it's not flying, fighting, or explosion, they are all in the drama. For example, the opening explanation of the meaning of "Infernal Affairs", and the picture is very beautiful." The director explained.

"Which part are you most satisfied with?" the reporter asked.

"What I am most satisfied with is that all aspects are well cooperated. Maybe I can't see it for the first time, but if I chew it carefully, I will find more and more things, such as music. This time, I have found a choir of 100 people in the capital, as well as photography, and many things are coordinated with it." The director responded.

"Is there any pressure to cooperate with you two actors?" the reporter asked Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei.

"The world is so bad now. Boss Lin is willing to invest in and match us with us to work together to make movies again after ten years. It's really rare. We don't have the pressure, and the pressure is on Boss Lin." Liu Dehua joked.

It's easy for them to deal with journalists.

The preview meeting ended and the response was good. Mainland film critics are more likely to accept films like "Infernal Affairs". If they are really shot into gunfight action scenes, they will find it uninnovative.

Xiangjiang filmmakers focus on commercialization, while the mainland prefers artistry.

Meng Jing saw Huang Bo walk out of the cinema with a girl, and she walked up to introduce herself.

"Hello, Huang Bo, I am a reporter from "Sanlian". Can you give you an exclusive interview?" Meng Jing suggested.

Huang Bo looked at Meng Jing and then at the girl beside him.

"Hello, I am Huang Bo's agent, and I will arrange his interview." Xiao Ye continued, "Can you leave the contact information? I will make an appointment with you later."

Xiao Ye knew that the female reporter was invited to participate in the preview of "Infernal Affairs" which showed that she had a good relationship with the company and she didn't say anything.

She was in the UK for three months and had just returned shortly after she was back. She didn't know Meng Jing and wanted to inquire.

"Okay, this is my business card." Meng Jing handed over the business card.

The two exchanged business cards and separated.
