From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

It's August.

Because neither Ding Zhi nor Jiuyao Media deliberately publicized the fact that "The God of Medicine" was nominated for six Golden Bear Awards, especially the fact that "The God of Medicine" promoted legal amendments.

Especially for the latter, whether there are rumors among the people or spontaneous publicity by self-media, it is all a trivial matter.

But if Ding Zhi or Jiuyao Media uses it for publicity or even hype, it may appear to some relevant people who are paying special attention to the existence of a high-quality idol like Ding Zhi in the circle because of Ding Zhi’s performance in the past year.

, that’s very subtle.

Overall, it's definitely not worth the gain.

As a result, without anyone issuing a press release to maintain the situation, the enthusiasm about these matters only lasted for less than four days, and then began to slowly fade away.

Of course, the most important thing is that compared with those so-called traffic stars or fellow artists who spend a lot of money every year to maintain popularity by issuing press releases, hype and other means to maintain a sense of presence in front of the audience.

Ding Zhi has reached another level now.

That is, he no longer needs to deliberately chase the heat. Instead, the so-called "heat" is following him.

In other words, every move he makes now may cause a spotlight effect, and he doesn't have to worry about disappearing from the public eye, because there are thousands of viewers waiting to fix their eyes on him.

On the body.

Even after Han Binjiang was imprisoned for more than half a year, the "fear" of Ding Zhi in the paparazzi circle was gradually buried by the benefits brought by Ding Zhi's popularity and attention.

After all, most people only care about eating but not about being slapped. What's more, the "slap" half a year ago was not on themselves.

So the number of paparazzi around Ding Zhi gradually increased.

However, after "Ding Zou Lian" was made public, Ding Zhi no longer had anything worth hiding.

As a result, many of the large number of paparazzi who followed Ding Zhi every day felt a little aggrieved.

You said that as a top-notch person, you don't engage in WEI and don't do sports, but you don't have a financial backer, you don't have an affair with a rich woman, you don't recruit cheaters, you don't have children out of wedlock, and you don't even drag the traffic police.

In the past, there was still room for speculation about your love life, but now you stop pretending and show off your cards.

What do you mean by saying that you are a top class person?

As for fake news?

Not to mention that Jiuyao Media is already well-known in the industry for its quality in the media industry. Han Binjiang’s experience alone is enough to make most people stop thinking about it.

After all, it is one thing to dare to start over with Ding Zhi, but it is another thing to embark on the same "criminal path" as the old man Han Binjiang.

So during the period when Ding Zhi went to Hong Kong, the paparazzi came to life for the first time in a long time.

It didn't take long for the news that Ding Zhi and Liang Jiahui were filming a new movie in Hong Kong Island to spread back to the mainland.

Outside the studio, there were many reporters and paparazzi "watching eagerly".

Ding Zhi, who originally wanted to start the phone in a low-key manner, finally held a power-on ceremony.

On the one hand, it is in response to the wishes of some media for interviews and serves as a preliminary publicity.

On the other hand, Hong Kong Island attaches great importance to "good intentions" and attaches great importance to the power-on ceremony.

After all, this time, in addition to the original team before Ding Zhi, the creative team of "The Intouchables" also added a lot of local Hong Kong team members, so in this way, it can be regarded as doing as the locals do.

Among them, the biggest change is probably in the aspect of photographers.

Although Ding Zhi's directorial attributes have been noticed by many people today, in fact the only movies he directed are "The Tuner" and "The God of Medicine".

Even the only one with his name in the director's column is this year's "The God of Medicine".

In contrast, he actually does not have a so-called fixed "royal photographer".

So much so that the photographer who shot him before just got a job some time ago and is now filming for another director in Hengpu.

Of course, this is also because Ding Zhi doesn't pay much attention to him in his heart.

If it really had to be this photographer, Ding Zhi would have probably greeted him in advance.

And this time, the photographer working with Ding Zhi is called Guan Zhibin. Those who are not familiar with Hong Kong movies may not know this. In fact, this is one of the great photographers in the Hong Kong movie industry today.

A few years ago, when he collaborated with Huang Zhixiong, he won the Golden Elephant Award for Best Cinematography for "Chasing the Dragon".

And for example, the movie "Wushuang" that Ding Zhi shot not long ago was also shot by him.

Being able to get his help was not only because Ding Zhi had established a good relationship with him during the filming of "Wu Shuang", but also because of Bona.

The biggest advantage of having good dealings with a local local leader is that as long as the cooperation between the two is still in the honeymoon period, all your actions will be given the green light and you will be even more powerful.

The opening ceremony of "The Intouchables" was actually nothing complicated. It was nothing more than burning incense, worshiping gods, and offering pig heads.

After it was over, the host, producer, director and other creative groups of the film began to speak.

After introducing the origin of the creation of "The Intouchables" and the members of the main creative team, the entire opening ceremony entered the second half.

Spokespersons were promptly identified to guide the process.

"Now it's time for questions and exchanges. If anyone has questions, please take the time to ask!"

All the reporters or paparazzi present were basically waiting for this moment. As soon as the host finished speaking, many reporters in the audience raised their hands with guns and cannons.

The spokesperson glanced and pointed his finger directly in the middle, pointing at a male reporter.

"This journalist friend, please ask a question."

The male reporter stood up calmly and said, "Hello, host, Director Ding, Brother Hui, and the creative team.

I would like to ask Brother Hui. It is said that director Ding Zhiding visited the thatched cottage three times and was able to invite you to play the leading role in this play. Is this true?

The question was thrown to Liang Jiahui.

Obviously, Tony Leung Ka-fai, as a veteran actor in Hong Kong, still has a reputation.

The reporter's first question was directed at him, not Ding Zhi, who has a higher traffic profile.

Of course, this does not exclude elements arranged by the organizer.

The problem is also very simple.

Anyway, what is important is to be decent, and it cannot be a problem that chokes the throat and nose from the very beginning.

Whether it is the crew or the reporters invited here today, most of them will generally abide by the unspoken rules.

Everyone should carry the sedan chair.

It’s not like reporters don’t have travel expenses.

Liang Jiahui smiled, leaned down and brought the microphone closer.

"Three visits to the thatched cottage is an exaggeration. In fact, it's just the opposite. When Director Ding showed me the script, I fell in love with the story. In fact, I was the one who stalked me to get this role!"

"Director Ding is also very considerate. After learning that I was injured some time ago, he almost took back my role.

Fortunately, I only injured my foot, and the character in the movie also needs to use a wheelchair, otherwise, I would have missed this character!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

There was a burst of low laughter from below, and it was a shame to cheer for this reversal that was not funny.

It is not clear how much everyone believed Liang Jiahui's joke, which was obviously intended to promote Ding Zhi.

However, after this Q&A, the reporters finally had a story to write.

The female reporter also sat down with satisfaction.

"This journalist friend!"

Keep ordering people.

"Hello! I am a reporter from "Entertainment Express". As far as I know, Mr. Liang Jiahui has always been nicknamed 'The Thousand-faced Movie King'. In recent years, Director Ding has also acted in several works as an actor.

Each character is different and has distinct characteristics, and also has the nickname "Little Thousand Faces".

There are also rumors that Mr. Liang Jiahui and Mr. Ding Zhi actually have a mentor-disciple relationship.

Many people even say that Mr. Ding Zhi's acting career is following the path of Mr. Liang Jiahui.

So this time, many people say that it will be a head-to-head competition between the "Actor with a Thousand Faces" and the "Actor with a Thousand Faces"! Right?"

After the gentle first question, the reporters' kicking questions started to take on a bit of a thorn.

But at least it was good, there were no paparazzi asking questions about things that had nothing to do with the movie.

The organizer did a pretty good job in the review this time.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ding Zhi.

Obviously waiting for his answer.

"First of all, let me answer this question!"

But it was Liang Jiahui who spoke first.

"Actually, I have a very good relationship with Dingzi, but when it comes to the friendship between master and apprentice, then I can't bear it. Because to be honest, I didn't teach him anything. And why am I the actor with a thousand faces, and Ding

Is Zai going to be dubbed "Little Thousand Faces"?

This is also an irresponsible and unfair statement.

Ding Zi is a young man who is also a rare acting genius. He is also very hard-working. He is the most talented and hard-working young man I have ever seen.

Ding Tsai has used his achievements to prove that he does not have an "unlimited future", he has already unlimited prospects now.

He and I are equal, no one is "big" or "small"

"Wow!"

The audience was in an uproar. This time it was not just an act.

The weight of Liang Jiahui's words is not unimportant.

According to his current status in Hong Kong Island's entertainment circle, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a dean. He is basically among the top three Hong Kong Island actors in many people's minds.

His words were equivalent to elevating Ding Zhi to a very high position.

According to common sense, it is obviously inappropriate when Ding Zhi is only under thirty years old.

But looking back at his achievements over the years, one has to think that what Liang Jiahui said does make some sense.

Many reporters are already scribbling on their notepads.

Write down examples such as "The inheritance of old and new movie stars" and "The collision between two movie stars with a thousand faces."

After this question, the atmosphere on the court gradually became more lively.

Next, the reporters present began to ask many questions enthusiastically.

Some asked Ding Zhi about the origin of the inspiration for the work, others asked how Guan Zhiyao got connected with Ding Zhi, and some asked Liang Jiahui how he felt about collaborating with Ding Zhi again.

Most of the questions revolved around the movie "Untouchable". There were no sudden questions like "When are you going to marry Zou Yutong" or "It is said that Ding Zhi is with a certain Hong Kong Islander" like Ding Zhi has appeared in the past.

"My XXX is very close, is there any emotional turmoil?" and other boring topics.

Generally speaking, the opening ceremony and press conference organized by Bona, the local boss of Hong Kong Island, were quite smooth.

"It's almost time. I have one more reporter friend. This time the questions should be over."

"The reporter lady on the left in black clothes!"

The reporter who had been raising his hand suddenly stood up when he was finally called.

"I want to ask Director Ding! This is the second movie you have directed and acted in. The last one, "The God of Medicine", you won 4.2 billion at the box office, basically locking in this year's box office championship, and you are also scoring

It has achieved a high score of 9.1 on the platform, which is a model of the combination of business and literature.

Are you determined to surpass the last film in the film you are about to shoot now? Or will you be like others who say that you will reach your peak when you debut? As a fledgling director, will Director Ding feel any pressure?"

"Yes, this is my second directorial work, but I would like to add that this is also a work that I wrote, directed, and acted in. If you want to praise me, praise me fully. Don't miss anything, otherwise I will force you to

Disease! Hahaha!”

"Of course there will be pressure.

After all, no one knows what the result will be until the box office is released.

But that's also the charm of the film market, isn't it? It doesn't change according to one person's wishes.

Whether a work is good or not, the audience will vote with their feet.

If the work is good-looking, the audience's evaluation will be high, and the reputation will be good. If the work is poor, the audience's evaluation will be poor, and the reputation will be bad.

I never like to rest on my laurels and rest on my laurels. Of course, I have just started on the path of directing and there is no laurels to rest on.

As for the question of whether to transcend yourself or not, that's a matter of opinion.

All I can say is that my best work will always be the next one."

Good guy, many people in the venue even began to suspect that the person who just asked the question was a pre-arranged follower.

After some questioning, Ding Zhi's eloquent words came out fluently and appropriately, and he practiced Tai Chi where Tai Chi should be done.

If you really want to interpret it in depth, the phrase "resting on your credit and resting on your past laurels" seems to be ironic to some people. But if you really want to dig deeper, it is at best a beautiful statement of self-encouragement.

It depends on everyone's interpretation.

The eyes of many reporters have brightened up, and they are writing down these things in their sketchbooks.

It is conceivable that tomorrow the titles of many newspapers or new media may read something like - "Ding Zhi: My best work is always the next one."

——"Ding Zhi has adapted to the new position of a cutting-edge director! It is thought-provoking to criticize some practitioners in the industry who are content with the status quo and stay in their comfort zone and rest on their laurels!"

——"Ding Zhi: Whether the work is good or bad, the audience will vote with their feet."

At the end, the host concluded his speech, and the reporters returned home with a full load and the organizer's travel expenses in their pockets.

It can be said that "guests enjoy themselves".

And "The Intouchables" also started its first round of publicity before filming.

After sorting out these bits and pieces of events.

The crew of "The Intouchables" has officially entered the filming stage.

As the two leading actors, Ding Zhi and Liang Jiahui, as the newspaper said after the press conference, officially opened the "moment of collision between two thousand-faced movie stars."
