Entertainment Empire

When leaving Xiangjiang, Zhou Xingchi saw him off in a low-key manner. Seeing that Luo Xun still looked worried, he comforted him and said, "Do you know what makes you more suitable for playing the role of Tang Monk than me?"

"where?"

"You are good-looking. Look at your face. If you say that I am Tang Seng and you are Sun Houhou, you have to be believed. And after you grew your hair short, it only confirmed my idea. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. Come on, Luo Xun.”

"..."

It must be admitted that being good-looking does have an advantage in playing the role of Tang Monk. Luo Xun smiled and hugged Zhou Xingchi gently before boarding the plane. During the process, a reporter captured the relevant footage, but Luo Xun and Xing Ye did not pay attention.

The second day after returning to Yanjing.

The Hong Kong newspaper "Monday News" reported the private meeting between Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi, and then the domestic media quickly reprinted the news. This news quickly attracted the attention of many people, and everyone speculated on the meaning behind the meeting between the two——

New movie collaboration?

Regardless of the fact that Zhou Xingchi received a lot of criticism after filming "Yangtze River No. 7", in terms of influence, he is still the unshakable king of comedy. As long as he is still making movies, there will definitely be countless eyes paying attention to this. One thing is inevitable and will not change just because one or two movies fail!

"Luo Xun is going to star in Zhou Xingchi's new film?"

"The possibility of meeting at this time is very high. After all, Luo Xun just finished shooting an action movie in Xiangjiang not long ago. Of course, at this time, he has to consider his next movie role, but it may also be a gathering of friends. After all, Luo Xun The relationship with Zhou Xingchi is recognized as good, and I don’t know how many artists in the industry are envious of it.”

“Looking forward to their cooperation again!”

"Maybe it's because I was too impressed by Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi's collaboration in "Kung Fu" before. I always feel that Luo Xun has a lot to do in movies. It would be better if Xingye is willing to continue to cooperate with Luo Xun."

"..."

It is worth mentioning here that Luo Xun’s hair has grown out and he has not continued to have his previous crew cut because the movie involves confidentiality issues. Although the level of confidentiality does not need to be very high, it will not matter even if Luo Xun’s crew cut is seen by the outside world. But in order for the audience to experience the most direct freshness, Luo Xun decided not to let his crew-cut style be exposed.

Of course.

The length of his hair is still a little different from the slanted back before, so now he has a mohawk hairstyle, which is quite low-key overall and not too flashy. After all, his style is not too flashy. Style, but to give people a low-key and connotative feeling.

As for outside discussions...

After Luo Xun returned to Beijing, he also officially responded: "The new movie will be a second collaboration with Star. This time we will shoot a movie about Journey to the West, and this is the second time that Star will take on this theme after the "Westward Journey" series." , I will also play one of the roles.”

This was from Zhou Xingchi.

Movies need popularity, and even Zhou Xingchi needs topics, so Luo Xun will directly announce the news to the outside world. Luo Xun believes that reporters will follow up and report the news after it is announced, not only because Zhou Xingchi is famous, but also because Luo Xun is regarded as one of the most famous celebrities in the mainland entertainment industry. Xun's home court, Luo Xun's influence here is much greater than that in Xiangjiang.

…

Facts have proved that Luo Xun's idea was correct. The consequences of his announcement of Zhou Xingchi's new film were even more exaggerated than he imagined. Almost all platforms are discussing this matter:

Stephen Chow is going to make a new movie!

It stands to reason that Zhou Xingchi, who has just experienced "Yangtze River No. 7", should not be so enthusiastic about making a new movie. After all, many fans are clamoring that Xingye is no longer able to survive. However, the news announced by Luo Xun this time contains A bombshell——

Journey to the West theme!

Ask Chow Sing-chi what his masterpiece is, and everyone may have different answers. But if you ask Chow Sing-chi which movie has been interpreted the most, it will definitely be the "Westward Journey" series. This movie was criticized as a bad movie when it was first released. , was almost mythologized by the film academy, and countless people in the industry even worshiped Zhou Xingchi for his genius in this movie!

And just a few years later.

Zhou Xingchi actually used Luo Xun's mouth to announce that he would start filming the Journey to the West series again. How could it not shock the public? Even the audience who were heartbroken by "Yangtze River No. 7" now came back to life with full blood——

They feel like they owe Xingye movie tickets again!

The headlines of major newspapers all came to the same goal in different ways: "Zhou Xingchi returns to Journey to the West after many years", "Xingye holds hands with Luo Xun and continues their romance", "Luo Xun and Zhou Xingchi collaborate for the second time to shoot a movie with the theme of Journey to the West"...

There are too many movies and TV dramas about Journey to the West.

There are only a few that can truly be called classics.

It happens that Zhou Xingchi's "Westward Journey" is such a classic, so reporters and the public will have a collective climax. However, when the media wanted to get more information, Luo Xun stopped revealing it and said, "I don't know very well." Just prevaricate the media.

Now is not the time.

Exposure comes step by step.

Let me warm up first and let everyone know that Zhou Xingchi is going to restart the filming of the Journey to the West series. It has become a big topic. Wait until the topic becomes less popular before throwing out new hot topics——

Propaganda is that simple.

When Luo Xun announced that he would star in Zhou Xingchi's new film, insiders were also discussing Luo Xun's path to the film industry:

"Zhou Xingchi actually helped."

"I think Luo Xun's decision is correct. If he wants to go further in his acting career, it is not enough to just shoot TV series. He needs film works to support him. He needs to have a representative film. After all, movies are indeed more advanced than TV. No one has ever denied this. Fortunately, Luo Xun took on "Kung Fu" in the early stage, which made his road a little easier. From this point of view, Zhou Xingchi should be regarded as Luo Xun's benefactor in the film industry."

"Yes."

"If he had not participated in "Kung Fu", it is estimated that the crew of "SPL 2" would not have asked him to shoot an action movie. So Zhou Xingchi has a great influence on Luo Xun's filming. Now it depends on the effect of "SPL 2". This is Luo Xun's first official role after he announced his official entry into the film industry. If he does not perform well, even with Zhou Xingchi's blessing, his road will not be so easy."

"Indeed."

Luo Xun is going to enter the film industry.

This is something that the entire entertainment industry knows. After all, Luo Xun said it himself during an interview. However, many people still have doubts about whether Luo Xun can succeed in the film industry. After all, television and movies are two completely different forms of expression. There are many things involved, and it cannot be explained in a few words.

Just as many people have discussed.

Because of the early "Kung Fu" as a foundation, the "SPL 2" crew would look for Luo Xun to cooperate. If there was no Hong Kong film foundation, they might not dare to use Luo Xun, not to mention that Luo Xun had filmed a hard-core action movie before.

As for "Crazy Stone"...

This movie is very popular in the mainland, but it is not widely accepted in Hong Kong, and it basically did not make any splashes.

Think about it and you can understand it.

In "Crazy Stone", all the lines are in dialect. Although dubbing was done when it was released in Hong Kong, the mountain city characteristics in the movie are simply indelible. The people in Hong Kong can't even speak Mandarin clearly, so how can they get the feeling of watching such a low-cost movie with local characteristics?

The circle is very small.

Friends of friends all know him.

So the relevant discussions and the opinions of some insiders gradually reached Luo Xun's ears.

"My dear..."

Luo Xun smiled.
