This man knows how to hype

Chapter 390 The favorable impression is so high!
The preview will be followed by a roadshow.

Therefore, Xu Xiyu and the crew of "Infernal Affairs" naturally could not stay in Hong Kong for too long.

They have to start from Pengcheng and go all the way north to conquer the mainland market.

At this time, under the promotion of Wu Youjin, the discussion about whether "Infernal Affairs" can be considered a Hong Kong film became increasingly heated.

Some people think that it is. After all, the actors, director and other crew members are basically all from Hong Kong. If this is not considered a Hong Kong film, then I really don’t know what the definition of a Hong Kong film is.

But some people don’t know whether they have been led astray or just want to sing a different tune.

The reason why they don't count is very simple, because both the story content of "Infernal Affairs" and the popularity of "Infernal Affairs" at this time were all given by Xu Xiyu.

This is clearly a "Hong Kong-style movie" made by mainlanders, just like General Tso's Chicken, is this dish considered Chinese food?

Seeing such a debate arise.

Wu Youjin was so happy that he felt he had finally gotten rid of his anger.

Just when he was in high spirits, his assistant Ali rushed into the office and said to him, "Uncle Jin, Xu Xiyu, Cheng Guangzu and others were blocked by reporters at the entrance of Jiahe."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Wu Youjin, who was leaning on the chair, straightened up instantly.

Then, he asked Ali with great interest: "How is it, is the Four-Eyed Ancestor angry to death?"

"No, the reporter's videos have been sent out. You can watch it yourself." Ali said, handing a tablet to Wu Youjin.

After Wu Youjin took it, he clicked it and took a look.

Xu Xiyu was surrounded by microphones. Several reporters, speaking broken Mandarin, kept asking Xu Xiyu the same question.

"Mr. Xu, many people are saying that Infernal Affairs is not a Hong Kong film. What do you think about this?!"

It must be said that Wu Youjin is a bit short-sighted and a little superstitious.

However, judging from his experience of quickly finding ways to suppress "Infernal Affairs" many times in recent days, he is definitely not a stupid person.

Because of this, when he saw the reporters in the video asking Xu Xiyu questions in broken Mandarin, his heart immediately skipped a beat.

Oops!

He suddenly remembered that when he asked Ke Xinying to go to find Xu Xiyu, because his Mandarin was very poor, Xu Xiyu simply spoke Cantonese to him.

In other words, this guy can speak Cantonese, and he speaks it quite well.

Although many Hong Kong people think that foreigners coming to Hong Kong can speak Cantonese, it is necessary for them to learn Cantonese.

But this “should” also depends on the person.

If Xu Xiyu was an ordinary person who could speak Cantonese, there would be nothing special about it.

But the problem is that he is not ordinary. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a leader of the younger generation in the mainland entertainment industry. In addition, he is also the CEO of a large listed company.

The Hong Kong of today is no longer the Hong Kong of the past.

Therefore, a foreigner like him who speaks fluent local dialect will be quite popular.

As the saying goes, what you think will come true. Wu Youjin felt that Xu Xiyu would definitely answer the reporter's questions in Cantonese.

And Xu Xiyu in the video actually did that.

He first made a joke in Cantonese: "Wow, your Mandarin is as good as my Cantonese."

When these words were spoken, all the reporters present were obviously stunned.

Then there was a burst of friendly laughter. Along with the laughter, a reporter asked in surprise: "Mr. Xu, you can actually speak Cantonese?"

"Well, that's surprising, right?" Xu Xiyu continued.

He continued, “In fact, I was also surprised when I saw this news just now. I don’t understand why there is such a nonsensical discussion.

But I changed my mind and realized what the real problem was. So I want to tell you the story of me and Hong Kong movies.

I remember when I was four or five years old, my parents bought a DVD player, and the owner of the DVD store gave us some discs, including movie discs and music discs.

All of these discs are Hong Kong movies without exception. The first movie I ever watched was a Hong Kong movie. I believe it's not just me, many mainlanders should have the same experience.

Even the songs I knew the most at that time were Cantonese songs on CDs. So it is not an exaggeration to say that Hong Kong movies and music were my enlightenment teachers in film, television and music.

In other words, I am able to create Infernal Affairs and other works today, in large part because I have absorbed a lot of nutrients from my teacher, Hong Kong Film.

Even when I was a kid, I always thought that I must come to Hong Kong when I grow up. I must go to Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui and other places that I have never been to but are familiar with. "

Having said this, Xu Xiyu paused.

This long paragraph just now is nonsense, except that it was created because of nutrients absorbed.

Everything else was true; he indeed grew up watching Hong Kong movies and listening to Hong Kong music.

So his tone and expression were particularly sincere.

Such a sincere expression, coupled with his fluent Cantonese, made all the reporters who interviewed him smile.

There is no normal person who doesn’t like others to praise his hometown, because he feels proud of it.

Moreover, no one thought Xu Xiyu was lying.

The reason is simple. If he didn’t really like Hong Kong, why would he learn Cantonese?
It can't be because of work, right?

is it possible?

You know what? I mentioned before that Xu Xiyu knew Cantonese because he was forced to do so by his job, as he had worked for a Hong Kong artist on Earth for a long time who did not speak Mandarin in private.

But how would the people of Blue Star know this?
At this moment, the Hong Kong audience watching this video felt extremely refreshed.

When a person feels happy, everything seems pleasing to the eye.

So, everyone now likes Xu Xiyu very much. They like her so much that they don’t even bother to watch the subsequent episodes and go straight to the comment section to leave their praises.

[I think he is very sincere and pure. Perhaps only such a pure person can create so many good works]

【On the other hand, our Hong Kong filmmakers are all obsessed with money. Once a subject becomes popular, they will not stop until it is ruined. It would be strange if the film does not flop! 】

[I think he has a high emotional intelligence. If anyone who has watched Hong Kong movies is considered a student of Hong Kong movies, then there are too many students. In the final analysis, the reason why he has good works is that he has talent.]

[Indeed, he is very humble. If he were a normal person of the same age, he would be extremely proud of his achievements.]

[You hit the nail on the head. I used to think he was an arrogant person, but now it seems that my impression was wrong. He is actually quite likable.]

[Don't you think he's handsome? I want to be his fan! ] [Are you crazy about him? ]

[I just want to be his crazy lover, what's wrong with that? Is it not okay? ]

The audience in Hong Kong enjoyed the show very much.

Wu Youjin felt uncomfortable watching this: "Pujiezi, do you have any shame? You only know how to say nice things to deceive the Hong Kong audience! You even said nonsense like Hong Kong movies are your teacher. Who would believe it?!"

Amid his scolding, Xu Xiyu continued to answer.

He continued with a tone of loss: "But when I really grew up, I found that my enlightenment teacher, Hong Kong movies, had grown old."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the reporters present changed.

To be honest, if it weren't for the words just now, Xu Xiyu's "old" would probably have immediately caused controversy.

But after he said that, when he said "Hong Kong movies are old", it felt like he was someone complaining about his own people.

It’s like “You can curse your own alma mater however you want.”

The reporters present, including the audience watching the video, all reacted to this with an "Ah~~"

No one would criticize Xu Xiyu, saying that he is not qualified to judge here.

Xu Xiyu continued to answer: "This makes me very sad. I am very sorry that the glory of Hong Kong movies is separated from me by a screen. When I break through this screen, only a trace of afterglow remains.

As a student of Hong Kong film, I really wanted to do something for my "teacher". But at that time, I found that I could not do anything because I did not have the ability.

But fate and opportunity sometimes come so unexpectedly. I became the chairman of Huaqing, and the famous boss of Queen Entertainment, Uncle Wu Youjinjin, also came to me. "

My goodness! As soon as Xu Xiyu said this, the reporters present couldn’t hold back any longer.

As for Wu Youjin, he jumped up and down: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, you accept the interview if you want. Why mention me? Do you know me well? If you dare to say anything nonsense, I will sue you for defamation!"

As Wu Youjin cursed, Xu Xiyu on the screen continued: "Uncle Jin found me and said he wanted to work with me. I was so happy at that time, thinking that I could finally do something for Hong Kong films.

Everyone knows what happened later. When Uncle Jin heard that I wanted to make a Hong Kong film, he seemed a little dissatisfied, so he did not cooperate with me. To be honest, I was very disappointed at that time..."

"Mr. Xu, you don't have to be sad. He should be the one who is sad now!" Before Xu Xiyu finished speaking, a reporter suddenly spoke up.

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha." As the reporter finished speaking, a burst of laughter followed.

Hearing this laughter, Wu Youjin felt his heart uncomfortable and he kept swearing.

He knew that he would be ridiculed and mocked again.

Thinking of this, he began to regret why he had hyped up the topic that "Infernal Affairs" was not a Hong Kong film. Wasn't this just asking Xu Xiyu to slap him in the face?
The audience who saw this went straight to the comment section to comment.

[Mr. Xu, now you know why Hong Kong movies are getting old, right? Because they are all caused by people like Wu Youjin! ]

[He is short-sighted. From what I have seen, Infernal Affairs is either a Hong Kong film or something he arranged for someone to do. He must be jealous and crazy now, so he did something that is not worthy of being shown on the public.]

[I think what you said makes sense. I support "Infernal Affairs" and the revival of Hong Kong films! ! ]

【Just because of what he said, I will support all his works in the future. Really, instead of supporting those useless people, it is better to support him. At least he is sincere, talented and humble! 】

[Very handsome! ]

[Wow, the flower maniac is here again? ]

The comments in the comment section kept adding new ones, and Xu Xiyu's interview continued: "Fortunately, I met Mr. Cheng, and he heard that I wanted to make a Hong Kong film.

Instead of thinking it was a no-go or risky thing, he was very excited. At that moment, I was convinced that he was someone who truly hoped that Hong Kong films could get better again.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Cheng Guangzu's face flushed, and he almost smiled like Maitreya Buddha.

Wu Youjin, who was watching the video, covered his chest and couldn't even swear.

Before watching this video, he hoped to see Cheng Guangzu get angry to death. Now that he hasn't finished watching this video, he feels that he might get angry to death!

No, I can’t watch it anymore.

It seems that he will really have to go to the ICU as Fei Hua said.

But even though he thought this, he couldn't help but continue watching.

Xu Xiyu on the screen said to the reporter: "It is precisely because Mr. Cheng is a person who truly hopes that Hong Kong films can get better. That is why I have to say so much today.

To be honest, whether people think "Infernal Affairs" is a Hong Kong film or not, it doesn't have much impact on me personally.

But for Mr. Cheng, this is not the case. If people deny the Hong Kong film positioning of "Infernal Affairs", it is tantamount to denying his efforts in the revival of Hong Kong films over the years.

This is too cruel!! So, let’s not discuss this nonsense. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can tell whether Infernal Affairs is a Hong Kong film or not.

Don't be used by people with ulterior motives. Isn't it obvious who wants Hong Kong movies to be good? Ladies and gentlemen, there are not many people like Mr. Cheng in the Hong Kong film industry! Really!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Cheng Guangzu, who was originally smiling like Maitreya Buddha, slowly lost the smile on his face.

Instead, a wave of bitterness welled up in my heart.

He felt that he was not that great.

But facing Xu Xiyu's praise, he still felt like he had found a "confidant".

At this moment, his fondness for Xu Xiyu was almost overwhelmed.

No, Mr. Xu asked me to get the award for Lu Qinyao, and I have to do it no matter how hard I try!
Coincidentally, one of Xu Xiyu's purposes of gaining favor was to get Lu Qinyao to win the award, and secondly to expand the market for his own works.

At this time, the reporters at the scene and the audience watching the video also had a very favorable impression of him. They saw Xu Xiyu first modestly call himself a Hong Kong film student, and then praised Cheng Guangzu throughout the whole process, without taking any credit for himself.

Such a "modest gentleman" appearance, coupled with his identity as a boss and handsome looks.

Simply charming!
Under this radiant charm, a reporter suddenly had an idea and asked: "Mr. Xu, you just said that Hong Kong movies and music were your enlightenment teachers.

Now you have produced the excellent film "Infernal Affairs". I am curious, do you have similar works in music? Have you ever written Cantonese songs? "

As soon as this question was asked, the reporters' necks stretched out instantly.

Cheng Guangzu wanted to step forward and deal with the situation for his "friend regardless of age difference".

But before he could make any move, Xu Xiyu nodded without any hesitation and said, "Of course, I have written Cantonese songs. If I have the chance, I will release them for everyone to listen to."

"He's lying! He's lying! He definitely didn't write it!!!" Wu Youjin shouted immediately when he saw this.
