"The King of New Comedy" Zhou Xingchi on the use of Wang Baoqiang: He is a superstar
1905 movie network news On the afternoon of January 11, the movie "The New King of Comedy" held a press conference in Beijing. In addition to announcing the theme song "Gale" sung by the Gale Girls Limited Group, director Stephen Chow and star Wang Baoqiang also came to the scene. On why Wang Baoqiang was used in the movie, Zhou Xingchi said: "I want to find a big star, and I have the experience of running through the dragon trap. So it can only be Mr. Wang."
The press conference was opened by a limited group of "Gale Girls" selected by Zhou Xingchi, including Li Zixuan and Liu Renyu. When it came to why they were selected, Zhou Xingchi said that these people have the experience of participating in the competition and failing. Speaking of the rise, Zhou Xingchi also learned the "square dance" dance moves in the MV from Li Zixuan on the spot. After a set of moves, Zhou Xingchi boasted: "I am still quite talented."
This time, "The New King of Comedy" is still a walk-on story. Zhou Xingchi said that it is in the same direction as "The King of Comedy". He revealed that because of this reason, he wanted to find a big star with walk-on experience: "Except for Mr. Wang (Baoqiang), I can’t think of anyone else. He is both a superstar and has run a dragon trap." Wang Baoqiang immediately said next to him: "So I am a dragon trap superstar."
Although the two did not disclose the plot of the film at the scene, Wang Baoqiang said that he is the heroine of the film. Speaking of the cooperation with Zhou Xingchi, Wang Baoqiang said: "He has high requirements for every actor in the scene. He will communicate with the actors, give the actors a lot of inspiration, and through guidance, you will not have a sense of urgency."
The pair recalled a scene in which Wang Baoqiang had sex with a foreign actor. Wang Baoqiang said that 50 scenes were taken in one day, breaking the record since his acting. Zhou Xingchi said that the repetition of so many scenes was because the two were stuck in language. Wang Baoqiang said: "I think as an actor, I am very lucky. Not all directors can give you so many opportunities, so much time, so many times for you to act again and again."
As the classic line of "King of Comedy", "Work hard! Fight!" appeared frequently on the scene. Zhou Xingchi not only gave this sentence to "Gale Girl", but Gale Girl also shouted this sentence to all dream chasers. The movie "New King of Comedy" will be officially released on February 5, 2019.
