The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 493 The Oprah Show

"The three of you all studied Chinese opera, so how did you get into the film industry?" Oprah asked curiously afterwards.

"Actually, I have already made movies a long time ago, because my grandfather was a film producer in Shanghai before, and my grandmother was a popular star at that time, so I can be regarded as coming from an acting family." Hong Jingbao said with a smile , "I started acting in movies very early. Later, my family thought I was lively and active, so they sent me to learn Beijing opera. And my master's daughter, we called the big sister, was the leading Kung Fu actress in Hong Kong at the time, so She often guides us to filming."

"Actually, during the period when we were studying opera, Beijing opera had gradually declined in Hong Kong. So in addition to performing on the stage, the master had to help us with other jobs." Cheng Long added, "It happened that the elder sister was at that time. It is very popular in the film circle, so we have an extra channel of guest movies."

"Later, there were more cameos in movies, and I gradually accumulated experience and slowly learned acting skills, and finally gained a firm foothold in the Hong Kong film industry." Yuan Biao said with a smile, "Of course, we also want to thank Mr. Xu for his support. Our opportunity is really the noble person in our destiny."

"Yes, I must thank Mr. Xu. Without him, we would not be where we are now." Hong Jingbao and Cheng Long also nodded together.

"Well, it seems that this Mr. Xu has really helped you a lot, so I'm curious who he could be?" Oprah made a long voice and looked down the stage, and the camera also turned to point at the right time. Xu Guanwu in the auditorium.

Xu Guanwu found that the camera was pointed at him, and couldn't help beckoning to the camera and smiling.

"Wow, it turned out to be Mr. Stanley Xu. We were really surprised." Oprah screamed.

Everyone in the audience couldn't help looking at it together, some they knew and some they didn't know, and suddenly chattered into a mess, as if they had discovered some rare animal.

After Xu Guanwu said hello, he shrank back, not wanting to be interviewed again, so as not to steal the limelight from Hong Jingbao and the other four.

Seeing this, Oprah couldn't help sighing in disappointment. If Xu Guanwu could come on stage at this time and accept her interview together, then the ratings of the show would be guaranteed, and her popularity would also increase greatly.You must know that Xu Guanwu has appeared on only a handful of TV shows in the United States, and many famous talk show hosts want to interview him but have no choice.If she is interviewed by this little-known rookie, she will become famous all at once.

Since Xu Guanwu said that he would not be on stage, the interview on stage will naturally continue.Oprah then looked at Di Wei again, "As an instructor in the army, the salary should be very high, so why would you think of becoming an actor?"

"Probably because I was born interested in acting, so when a Hong Kong director went to Wanwan to film a movie one day, and our army was responsible for assisting in the filming, I felt very excited when I saw the camera." Di Wei said with a smile, "So Later, I quit my job and became an actor, first in another film company in Hong Kong, and then with Big Brother Sanmao."

"Oh?! Then do you think Sanmao is strict with you?" Oprah asked with a smile, "Sitting next to him, I think he is very strong, and he must have a strong personality."

"Hehe, Brother Sanmao has always been meticulous in filming, and he is very serious at work. But in private, Brother Sanmao is very loyal. He often invites us to dinner, dance and sing, so I like to follow Brother Sanmao very much." Di Wei said with a smile.

On the side, Hong Jingbao also blushed a little shyly and laughed, thinking that he was not used to being judged like this in person.

"Then how about you senior brother?" Oprah asked Cheng Long and Yuan Biao again.

"Uh, when he was studying drama at the drama school, he always bullied us by virtue of his status as a big brother." Cheng Long said with a chuckle.

"Yeah, he often puts on the airs of a big brother with us, taking care of this and that, and those who disobey will be beaten." Yuan Biao also said with a smile on the side.

Hong Jingbao's face turned red when he heard this, "I have to explain this, why should I bother with them. Everyone knows that teenage children are the most naughty. There are more than 20 children in the theater school, and the master alone It is impossible to take care of all of them, so I, as a senior brother, have to help. Cheng Long and Yuan Biao were very naughty at the time. They either fought with other students, or they were playful and did not practice in class. Force has been used. But it’s just small punishments and big warnings, no heavy hand has been used.”

"To be honest, if I had been strictly disciplined by your big brother when I was young, I wouldn't have taken so many detours." Oprah couldn't help but sighed, and then asked Cheng Long and the others with a smile, "Then Do you still hate this elder brother?"

"Of course I don't hate it anymore. In fact, we are very grateful to the elder brother. It is because of his promotion that we have our current life." Cheng Long and Yuan Biao said with a smile.

Hearing what they said, Hong Jingbao couldn't help grinning happily.

"When you first entered the film industry, you must have suffered a lot. What kind of setbacks have you encountered?" Oprah asked again with a smile.

"Actually, I was quite lucky. After I went there, I first started as a walk-on, then became a dragon and tiger martial arts master, and then gradually promoted to a martial arts instructor, and then started to be a director." Hong Jingbao said with a smile, "Maybe I have a lot of people in my life, So you will always be promoted, and those who climb are the fastest.”

"Well, I'm a bit worse than the elder brother. I also became a dragon and tiger martial artist at the beginning. However, dragon and tiger martial arts is a very hard job, and I have to be beaten and timed, so not everyone can do it. Okay, so people who do well have a high income. At that time, I thought it would be great if I could start working every day and make money every day, so I was very active when filming. I would also like to do some very dangerous jobs I tried it, so the director felt that I could be cultivated, so from then on, he often called me when I was filming, and I gradually accumulated some fame."

"I remember once filming an action scene directed by a Hong Kong director. I played a small role in it. When the protagonist kicked me sideways, I would do somersaults three times, and then lay on the ground and died immediately." Cheng Long continued, "But because I was filming in the wild mountains, the land over there was not very flat, there were a lot of gravel and small stones. As a result, when the protagonist kicked me, I rolled over and hit the back of my head on the stone. It knocked me out straight away. Now there is still a scar over there." Cheng Long said while pointing to the back of his head.

Hong Jingbao couldn't help but wink at him when he heard that he had been injured, and motioned him not to continue talking.Because when filming in Hong Kong, it is very common for martial artists to be injured, so there is no need to talk about it.Injury can only show that the skill is not good enough and unprofessional.

However, Chenglong ignored the big brother's gaze, and continued to point to the corner of his eye and said, "There is also a scar here, and it may not be clear after a long time. It was also when I was filming that the opponent missed and directly When I got here, I was only a little bit blind."

"Wow!" Oprah couldn't help opening her mouth wide when she heard him say that filming was so dangerous.

Hearing that he was talking more and more vigorously, Hong Jingbao couldn't help putting his hand to his mouth and coughing lightly.Hearing the senior brother's cough, Cheng Long had no choice but to close his mouth.

"When I first entered the film industry, I also started as a dragon and tiger martial artist like Jie Ji, but I entered the industry relatively late. At that time, the big brother had already made a name for himself in the Hong Kong film industry, so I got a lot from the big brother when I was filming. help, so I am much luckier than Jieji." Yuan Biao said with a smile.

"It seems that Sanmao is really good. After becoming famous, he knows how to promote his senior brothers." Oprah said with a smile.

"Actually, Yuan Biao is more competitive. I just mentioned him a little bit, and he immediately became famous." Hong Jingbao also said with a smile.

"Yes, it is true that someone can help you become famous quickly, but the most important thing is to work hard on your own." Oprah nodded in agreement.

"Then David, after you gave up your job as an instructor in the army for your dream and joined the film industry, will you become famous soon as you imagined?" Oprah then asked Di Wei with a smile.

Di Wei smiled wryly when he heard it, "I also started as a dragon and tiger martial artist when I first entered the film industry, and because I am from Wanwan, I still faced language barriers when filming in Hong Kong, so I encountered difficulties at the beginning. I have experienced many setbacks. Injuries and beatings are commonplace. The saddest thing is that I can’t get the understanding of my family members. In addition, I didn’t have any friends at the beginning in Hong Kong. I had to rely on myself to support myself. It was difficult. Fortunately, I met Brother Sanmao, who helped me to appear in many works, especially this time he promoted me to play the main role. I am really grateful to him.”

Oprah couldn't help but nodded when she heard this, "Indeed, everyone has to pay a very high price to pursue their dreams. I was working as a newscaster on a TV station, and I was ridiculed and ridiculed. I only worked for a week. I was fired. But I still told myself that I must never give up, that being a man is to be brave enough to realize your dreams. So I kept working hard and finally got my own talk show.”

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
After listening to Di Wei's experience of pursuing his dream and Oprah's own story, the audience applauded for the two of them together.

"According to what Jieji said just now, it seems that you get injured very often while filming, isn't it?" Oprah asked Hong Jingbao again.

Hearing her ask this question, Hong Jingbao couldn't help showing an unnatural expression on his face, "Injuries are indeed inevitable. Hong Kong film shooting was not very standardized before. The director wanted to catch up with the filmmakers to make money, so he was concerned about the safety of Dragon and Tiger Warrior. I don’t pay much attention to it. But Mr. Xu is an exception. Every time he shoots a film, he repeatedly tells me to pay attention to the safety of the actors, so our current number of injuries has been greatly reduced.”

"Mr. Xu is the first boss in Hong Kong to arrange an ambulance on the set." Cheng Long also said with a smile, "When we were filming before, we shot exterior scenes in the wilderness. It’s just rubbing Dieda medicinal wine. But Mr. Xu arranged a doctor for us, and we can be treated immediately if there is any pain, which makes us feel very safe.”

"Well, when the ambulance was first parked on the set, we all felt a little unnatural, and it seemed to be a very unlucky thing." Yuan Biao said with a smile, "But now everyone is used to it, and instead feel that there is an ambulance. It feels safer to stop there."

"So Mr. Xu has done a lot of good things for you." Oprah asked with a smile.

"Well, Mr. Xu promoted me to be a starring role and made me a red star in Hong Kong. I am very grateful for his promotion." Cheng Long said with a smile.

"I was promoted from martial arts instructor to director, and I was also promoted by Mr. Xu. I am also very grateful to him." Hong Jingbao also said with a smile.

"My first starring role was also promoted by Mr. Xu, and I am very grateful to him." Yuan Biao also said with a smile.

"I am also very grateful to Mr. Xu for giving me this opportunity." Di Wei also said concisely.

"I think Stanley Xu also saw your potential, so he will help you. And your success proves that he has a good vision." Oprah said with a smile, "I also want to thank Lei Shi Mr. Dong, it is his support that allows me to persevere. Thank you."
