Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 165 Zhou Ziheng's Film Review
For Zhou Ziheng, attending this premiere can be simply regarded as watching a movie with celebrities, just like relaxing.

In fact, for the producer Sambo Pictures and the film’s creative team, the meaning is completely different.

Who is Zhou Ziheng?
The most popular artist in the Chinese-speaking world today.

The English record was sold to Europe and the United States and began to become famous internationally.

This period of time can be said to be the most popular time for Zhou Ziheng.

At this time, he appeared in the crew of "The Sky of Mong Kok", what does this mean?
Naturally, this means that tomorrow's newspaper headlines will all be about Zhou Ziheng attending the premiere of "Mongkok Sky".

For a movie like "The Sky of Mongkok" which has received little attention, it undoubtedly means tremendous wealth.

Therefore, the film's investor Liu Junhui couldn't be more excited about Zhou Ziheng's arrival.

From the moment Zhou Ziheng arrived, he stayed with Zhou Ziheng almost the entire time, constantly asking about his well-being.

"You don't know him well?"

When Zhou Ziheng was arranged by Liu Junhui to sit in the audience and people kept coming over to greet him, several leading actors of the crew were sitting in another direction.

Simon Yam glanced at Zhou Ziheng over there and asked Yu Rongguang.

"I'm not familiar with him. I've never met him before. He seems to only hang out with Jet Li and Leon Lai."

Yu Rongguang shook his head.

“My suggestion is that you can go out and about when you have nothing to do. This is a good way to make connections.

It is very normal to switch from singing to acting in movies in Hong Kong, and it often achieves good results.

I have also seen his movie "Young and Dangerous", and he performed very well.

I think he will never give up making movies.

And given his popularity, there are companies willing to make movies tailor-made for him.”

Simon Yam is in this circle and knows better than anyone the importance of connections, especially those with top figures in the circle like Zhou Ziheng.

"Thank you, I understand!"

After hearing this, Yu Rongguang had an idea in his mind.

He and Zhou Ziheng are both from the mainland, so they are naturally close.

As Simon Yam said, he could indeed make more friends with Zhou Ziheng, which would only be beneficial to his development.

He has already experienced this benefit with Jet Li.

It was because of a gathering of mainland circles that he met Jet Li, and was then pulled into the crew of "A Letter to Dad".

Although the movie has not been released yet and there are still a few days, he feels that his performance in the movie is definitely a classic.

Maybe it will bring him a lot of movie invitations.

However, he did not go to Zhou Ziheng immediately, but continued to wait for the premiere to begin.

There was no premiere actually.

It was nothing more than the main creators of the crew coming to the front to be interviewed before the movie started.

In fact, this was a temporary addition after Zhou Ziheng came.

If Zhou Ziheng hadn't come, the creative team might not even have gone on stage, but would have started playing the movie directly.

After a brief interview, the film began to screen.

The film tells the story of gangsters Le Wenhua (Simon Yam) and his big brother Lu Chengfeng (Yu Rongguang) who are running rampant in Hong Kong and are at the peak of their popularity.

One day, Lu and Le were receiving goods at the dock and were surrounded by police.

Le Wenhua revealed his undercover identity and asked Lu Chengfeng to surrender, but the latter rushed into the sea and died...

A year later, after being reinstated, injured and promoted, Le Wenhua has become accustomed to life in the police force. However, during an arrest, he encounters Lu Chengfeng's lover Rongrong (played by Zhong Liti). Out of guilt and sympathy for Rongrong, Le Wenhua agrees to stay with her at all times, which causes a rift in his relationship with his girlfriend.

Lu Chengfeng, who survived the disaster, suddenly appeared at this time and asked Le Wenhua to do him one last favor to get what he had gotten back so that he could live the rest of his life in peace.

Le Wenhua was involved in Lu Chengfeng's criminal plan by mistake, and struggled between Lu Chengfeng's revenge and the police's arrest...

The movie's plot routine is standard Hong Kong film routine.

In Zhou Ziheng's opinion, the quality of this film is actually average.

The plot in the first half of the movie is pretty good, and the resurrection of the villain is novel at this point. However, the second half starts to become rather nonsensical, and it's quite hard to watch.

However, although the script is quite standard, fortunately Benny Chan ensured that the action scenes were exciting, especially the final fight between Simon Yam and Yu Rongguang was quite intense. Both of them have an evil spirit, so there is a gray temperament that transcends the opposition between good and evil. The scene of blowing white powder in the sky of Mong Kok is also quite crazy.

In addition, Christy Chung was really beautiful during this period, and she matched well with Simon Yam in the movie. At the same time, the movie's interludes and soundtracks were very good.

The soundtrack of this movie is composed by the famous Hong Kong composer Huang Bangxian. His soundtrack and the interlude "Bitter Love" sung by Sammi Cheng for the movie make the film not particularly boring.

When the movie ended, the critics and ordinary audiences present stood up and applauded out of respect.

The same is true for Zhou Ziheng.

Liu Junhui obviously knows how to attract attention. When he went on stage and asked film critics and guests to speak about the film, he did not mention anyone else, but directly mentioned Zhou Ziheng.

"Hengzi, what do you think of the quality of the film? Please don't hesitate to point out the shortcomings."

People say that, you can’t really approve it in large quantities!
It’s not like Zhou Ziheng has no emotional intelligence at all.

He took the microphone handed to him by the staff.

“I think it’s very good, the setting of the movie about the villain coming back from the dead is very novel.

Then comes the actors' performances. Let me talk about Brother Tat Hua first. Actually, I personally like Brother Tat Hua's performance very much. I think his acting skills should be ranked among the best in Hong Kong among people of the same age.

In this movie, he can be said to have accomplished the role's mission extremely well, portraying the character vividly and switching between various emotions such as entanglement and regret.

In a word, it was very well acted.”

"Then there's Brother Yu Rongguang and Miss Zhong Liti..."

Zhou Ziheng spoke a lot of his own opinions.

To sum it up in one sentence, this is a good movie.

Zhou Ziheng didn't know what others thought.

But after he spoke out his praises for the movie.

The crew was obviously very happy.

Especially Liu Junhui, he first asked Zhou Ziheng to comment, isn’t that what he meant!

He even had someone write down every word Zhou Ziheng said.

Although Zhou Ziheng is not a professional film critic, he is very popular!
This review will be published in the newspaper tomorrow, and in the next few days, there will be almost no need for exposure for this movie.

Zhou Ziheng thinks this is a good movie.

Heng fans, hurry up and go to the cinema!

Although there is suspicion of riding on the popularity.

But in fact, this is the routine operation in the circle.

This is pretty normal operation for this era.

In later generations, the praises given by the actors at the premiere were so exaggerated.

Some people even showed off their acting skills at the premiere in order to please someone in the crew, and some even cried on the spot.

It's simply throwing all your moral integrity to the ground.

All in all, this was considered a very normal compliment from Zhou Ziheng.

In fact, Zhou Ziheng was not trying to please Sanbao Pictures.

To be honest, he has nothing to do with Sanbao Pictures.

The main reason why he did this favor was because of Chen Musheng.

This is also a good director!
To make a good relationship with him, if there is a chance, Zhou Ziheng also wants to recruit him into his own company.

Well, although it seems like you are eating from the bowl while looking at the pot.

But isn’t that the fun of this circle?
Chen Musheng has not joined Golden Harvest yet, and is not doing very well.

Although there is "A Moment of Romance" as the foundation.

But in fact, strictly speaking, he only deserves part of the credit for the movie "A Moment of Romance".

You should know that the producers of this movie are actually Wong Jing, Johnnie To and others.

The idea of ​​making this movie was proposed by Wang Jing as a gift to his father upon his retirement.

The planning and leadership were actually done by Wong Jing, Johnnie To and others.

Therefore, at present, Chen Musheng is not actually a big director, and Zhou Ziheng still has a good chance to poach him to his own film and television company.
