Huayu started by playing Lao Ai

Chapter 171: Lao Ai's Fire Arrives in Japan

The fans of Taiwan Island are very enthusiastic. Zheng Jing only took a glance and saw many pretty Taiwanese girls.

The legs are long and white, very dazzling.

He thought about it and still felt that it was not easy for the fans.

He walked over and signed autographs for several beautiful fans.

This completely ignited the enthusiasm of the fans.

Everyone's shouting became even crazier, and the situation became chaotic for a while.

In addition to Zheng Jing's name, many people also shouted "Liu Zhixun", and some shouted Lu Bu, and even Lao Ai.

Of course, there are also people who hold the book "The Da Vinci Code" and want Zheng Jing to sign it.

After interacting with the fans, Zheng Jingcai walked into the hotel's conference room and sat in the middle of the stage.

Shu Chang sat next to Zheng Jing, very calm.

As a child star, Shu Chang was not very famous at the time, but he had a lot of acting experience, had released records, and had been a host.

He has a lot of stage experience.

After everyone was seated, the press conference officially began.

The host was Liu Ruoying. After she finished her opening remarks, Chen Guofu spoke and introduced the details of the movie "Double Vision".

After Chen Guofu finished his introduction, Rene Liu sang another song to liven up the atmosphere.

Then, Matsuoka Akita, director of the International Screening Department of Toho Co., Ltd., spoke.

Then came the unveiling and ribbon-cutting ceremony.

After completing a series of processes, we will start the free interview session.

The reporter from Yahoo Japan was the first to raise his hand and asked, "Hello, Zheng Jing, did you know that the character Lao Ai you played is very popular in Japan and is sought after by women?

Many male escorts changed their names and added the word "Lao Ai" to their names.

The women in Japan all dreamed of owning Lao Ai, while the men worshipped him and even began to imitate the skill of turning the wheel, just like in the United States.

This phenomenon has aroused the disgust of many Japanese people.

Do you admit that your film and television works have caused negative cultural impact?
What do you think about Lao Ai's sudden popularity in Japan? "

Japan's NHK TV station broadcast Zheng Jing's two TV series "Lü Bu and Diao Chan" and "Full House" consecutively, and the ratings were very popular and made a lot of money.

Seeing this situation, other TV stations in Japan will naturally not sit idly by.

On April 4, Toyama TV purchased Zheng Jing's first TV series, Lüshi Chunqiu, at a high price of 14 MYR per episode, for a total of 5 million MYR.

In order to catch up with the popularity, Toyama TV did not hire anyone to re-dub, but simply added translated subtitles and started broadcasting Lüshi Chunqiu on April 4.

Zheng Jing is very popular in Japan. In addition, the song "The Street Where the Wind Lives" from Lüshi Chunqiu was used by NHK in the drama "Lü Bu and Diao Chan", and has become very popular in Japan.

Moreover, the Japanese even changed the name of Lüshi Chunqiu to "Lao Ai: The Marquis of Counterattack by Turning the Wheel".

The title of this drama is simple, direct and eye-catching.

The "Wheel Spinning Challenge" promoted by Anne and Amanda in the United States in order to sell books was also reported by Japanese media.

Many people in Japan know that Zheng Jinghui has a mysterious Chinese Kung Fu called Wheel Turning.

Therefore, as soon as "Lao Ai: The Counterattack of the Wheel" was broadcast, it attracted a lot of attention.

With the popularity of the TV series, the character of Lao Ai became extremely famous in Japan.

On the one hand, Japan has always had a gigolo culture and has a strong consumption capacity for male beauty. On the other hand, Japan also has a strong worship of life, and related activities are held in various parts of Japan every year.

The character of Lao Ai perfectly fits the aesthetic taste of the Japanese people.

Even more suitable than Lu Bu.

Originally, Lao Ai was not well-known in Japan. However, after the broadcast of "Lao Ai: The Counterattack of the Wheel", Lao Ai also made a comeback in Japan and was loved by the Japanese people.

Not only are there many people COSting the character of Lao Ai, some gigolos also take advantage of the popularity by changing their names.

Many shops, associations, and even cultural works began to incorporate elements related to Lao Ai.

Even in a certain Japanese V's film, various plots involving Lao Ai appeared.

In Japan, Lao Ai did indeed start a cultural trend.

This trend has even greater impact than Full House.

This was something Zheng Jing had not expected.

Hearing the reporter's question, Zheng Jing said: "Lüshi Chunqiu has been broadcast many times in China, and there are many companies and stores in China that use Lao Ai's name.

But no one said I caused bad culture.

Lao Ai is a person who existed in Chinese history. The fact that everyone likes him is a recognition of the character I created.

I will continue to work hard and portray more roles that everyone likes."

Zheng Jing's first sentence implicitly pointed out that it was not his problem, but that Japanese culture itself was like that.

But he did not say it explicitly, after all, the Japanese market is very important at the moment.

There is no need to talk nonsense and cause unnecessary controversy.

The Yahoo reporter wanted to ask more questions but was beaten to the punch by a reporter from Hong Kong Island.

"Zheng Jing, due to the popularity of Lao Ai, A Step into the Past has been sold to Toyama Television in Japan at a high price. It is said that it can also be broadcast on satellite in mainland China.

Is there any difference between the Lao Ai in this drama and that in Lüshi Chunqiu?

It is said that you also participated in the revision of the script of A Step into the Past? Will you have more scenes than Louis Koo?

A Step into the Past is TVB's anniversary drama, so after the filming was completed, it has been shelved and will not be broadcast until October.

Originally, this was just a normal operation of the TV station's anniversary drama, but unexpectedly, Zheng Jing and Lao Ai became very popular. Instead, the previously unaired "A Step into the Past" became a hot topic.

TVB and Zhuang Weijian were overjoyed.

Zheng Jing replied: "Lao Ai in A Step into the Past has some similarities with Lüshi Chunqiu.

But this drama is a martial arts film, Lao Ai is more powerful, and his character will be different.

In terms of the script, I made some suggestions, which director Zhuang Weijian also adopted. It can be regarded as a new script that we discussed together.

As for the roles, Louis Koo's Xiang Shao Long is the male lead, so of course he has more roles."

After hearing Zheng Jing’s answer, the reporter immediately added: “But Li Zi, Wen Bixia and others all said that your Lao Ai is the soul of A Step into the Past.

Zhuang Weijian also said that you and Louis Koo are the two male protagonists, and Lao Ai will have more scenes than Xiang Shaolong. "

"Then I don't know."

After hearing what the reporter said, Zheng Jing knew that it was very likely that Louis Koo had terminated his contract with TVB. In addition, Zheng Jing became very popular and was a hot topic.

Zheng Jing replaced Louis Koo and became the publicity focus of the "A Step into the Past" crew.

As to whether Zhuang Weijian will re-edit the film to reduce the role of Xiang Shaolong and increase the role of Lao Ai for the sake of sales and ratings, it is hard to say.

After all, the Hong Kong entertainment industry is very commercialized and everything is about money.

Audiences like to watch Lao Ai, and Zhuang Weijian will definitely cater to this preference.

After the reporters from Japan and Hong Kong, local reporters from Taiwan finally got the chance to ask questions.

“Hello Zheng Jing, have you watched Meteor Garden?
In Taiwan, many people think that Meteor Garden is a better idol drama than Full House. What do you think? "

Meteor Garden premiered on Taiwan TV on April 4.

During the promotion process of this drama, it happened to coincide with the hit of Full House, so it took advantage of the popularity of Full House.

The crew bought a press release, saying that Meteor Garden was the Taiwan version of Full House, and then saying that Meteor Garden was better than Full House.

But no matter how it was promoted, Full House became the first idol drama to take the lead.

It has changed the audience's perception and aesthetic of idol dramas.

After watching Full House, people watch Meteor Garden. There are always some people who think that Meteor Garden is too awkward.

Of course, Meteor Garden also has a fixed audience.

This drama takes Mary Sue, brainless melodrama, and artificial exaggeration to the extreme, and is able to capture some immature young audiences.

Therefore, after Meteor Garden was broadcast, it quickly became popular in Taiwan.

But it is hard to say whether one can reach the heights of the previous life.

After all, for a drama to become a big hit, it still requires some luck.

The early broadcast of Full House will have an impact on Meteor Garden.

“I haven’t heard of Meteor Garden, so I won’t comment on it.

Personally, I hope that there will be more and more excellent Chinese TV dramas.

Everyone worked hard on the script and did their best to provide the best costumes and props, so that our audience can enjoy something good.”

"Will you film idol dramas again?"

"I never set limits for myself. I can shoot movies or TV shows. As long as the script is good enough, any subject matter is fine."

"This is your first time making a movie. Why did you choose horror? Are you not confident in yourself and want to find another way?"

……

During the one-hour free interview time, reporters surrounded Zheng Jing and asked questions.

If Zheng Jing hadn't said at the end that he would no longer answer questions, no one would have paid attention to Liu Ruoying and others sitting next to him.

After the press conference, Liu Ruoying said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, this is the most relaxing press conference I have ever attended.

Just sit still and be good.”

Seeing Liu Ruoying smiling happily, Zheng Jing said directly: "I am also surprised, you are quite famous, why are there no reporters paying attention to you?
Maybe you are too low-key. "

In the entertainment industry, Liu Ruoying is a very magical existence.

Her songs are very popular, her acting skills are also very good, and she has starred in both hit TV series and movies.

But it gives people the feeling that it has always been second-tier.

Especially in the Bay Area, its position is very embarrassing and it is not welcomed.

Liu Ruoying received zero nominations for both the Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Melody Awards.

On the contrary, the fame and treatment in the mainland are better.

Zheng Jing didn't know the reason either. He guessed it was either because her grandfather was a former party general, or because she didn't have any star quality and her presence wasn't strong enough.

You have to know that at that time, Liu Ruoying's song "Later" was very popular, and the TV series April in the World was also on the air. She was really famous.

Zheng Jing was also surprised that no reporters paid attention to her at the press conference.

Liu Ruoying said: "I've gotten used to it. When I was filming Pink Panther with Haohao, reporters didn't interview me very often.

They are all interviewing Chen and Hu Bin. "

Liu Ruoying is very good at chatting. He deliberately mentioned Chen and Hu Bin and took the initiative to get closer to them.

The first scene filmed today was about Huang Huitu taking his wife and daughter on a picnic in the suburbs.

Shows the happy life of a family of three.

After all, Zheng Jing and Liu Ruoying have to play husband and wife, so they can't be too distant.
