At 2 o 'clock in the afternoon of November 18th, Lu Chen and his team arrived at Hong Kong International Airport.
Just like the first time he came to Hong Kong, Lu Chen was very low-key. He didn't explain his schedule on his blog, and only a few people in the studio knew his whereabouts.
However, what Lu Chen didn't expect was that as soon as he walked out of the passenger passage, more than a dozen reporters holding cameras and microphones suddenly rushed out of the crowd outside and surrounded him in an instant.
"Mr. Lu Chen, can I interview you?"
"Lu Chen, what's your relationship with Liu Gangsheng, Liu Tianwang?"
"Mr. Lu Chen, what do you think of Chen Yuanchen's evaluation of your music work?"
"Mr. Lu Chen, some people say that you came to Hong Kong to make a movie to steal the opportunity of the same industry in Hong Kong …"
"What's your opinion on this?"
The flashlights flashed frequently, and the microphones tied with different media logos rushed to be in front of him. The surrounding passengers all cast curious or surprised gazes …
There were also questions and questions that came at him like a storm.
Lu Chen was a little confused for a moment.
What was going on? When could he enjoy the treatment of a popular star in Hong Kong?
This was a little unscientific!
However, Lu Chen was not an ordinary person after all. In the face of a sudden unexpected situation, he could still maintain his calm. He quietly reached out to block the microphones that were about to touch his face and said, "Please make way, this is a public passage, thank you!"
And behind Lu Chen, there was a whole team of people.
This team of people was brought back from the capital by Lu Chen. They were 10 men and 2 women, all very young, all of whom had just been discharged from the army. They were at the age of young and vigorous, and had received professional training.
So when they saw that Lu Chen was surrounded, they quickly stepped forward and blocked the paparazzi at the first possible moment, creating a safe isolation zone for Lu Chen, allowing him to quickly escape from the awkward situation.
The paparazzi did not expect Lu Chen to have so many guards around him. How could they be a match for these elites? The pressure that they had formed to force Lu Chen to abdicate collapsed in an instant, and a reporter fell to the ground in a sorry state.
The airport security personnel arrived at the scene in time and stopped the paparazzi who were trying to pester her.
Therefore, Lu Chen successfully escaped and sat in the commercial car waiting outside.
There were many people returning to Hong Kong this time, so the studio arranged to hire a medium-sized bus. The person in charge of picking them up was Lu Chen's assistant in Hong Kong, Li Zhen.
Li Zhen saw the chaotic scene just now. She said embarrassedly, "Young Master Lu, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect there to be so many paparazzi."
Lu Chen waved his hand to indicate that he didn't mind. What he was puzzled about was why these paparazzi wanted to surround him.
Also, what Chen Yuanchen? Snatching the opportunity of the same industry in Hong Kong? It was simply inexplicable!
Li Zhen could explain these.
It turned out that the source of the disturbance was the Cantonese song "The Love of My Life" that he sang in Lan Kwai Fong last time.
After this song was posted on the Internet, it quickly became popular in Hong Kong and was liked by many young people in Hong Kong. There were even many local singers who imitated and sang it. Even the corresponding song appeared in KYV.
Nowadays, Hong Kong's pop music scene was no longer as prosperous as it was in the 1980s and 1990s. Especially in recent years, there were fewer and fewer original Cantonese songs. The market was filled with a large number of cover songs and imitations of songs from Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. The mentality of young singers was becoming more and more impetuous, and people who concentrated on making music were becoming rare.
This phenomenon had many similarities with the mainland pop music scene. However, compared to the abundance of domestic talents, Hong Kong's original musicians had withered even more, and there were only a few rising stars.
The market environment was bad, and the fans who really loved Cantonese songs were naturally very dissatisfied. On Hong Kong's music forums and blogs, nostalgic songs and criticism of the phenomenon were everywhere.
So now that they suddenly heard such an outstanding work that could be called a classic, many fans and even people in the circle were surprised. It was completely reasonable for it to become popular quickly.
But for Hong Kong's local musicians, it was a little embarrassing.
Because Lu Chen, who wrote and sang this song, not only came from the mainland, but he was also not from Guangdong.
Moreover, there were two people who made Lu Chen hate.
One of them was the famous comment ID "Three Bowls of Wine" in the "Pop Music" and "Film and TV Talk" section of Hong Kong's BBS. In the original video post of "The Love of My Life", he ridiculed Hong Kong's local musicians and inevitably touched the fragile hearts of some Hong Kong people.
The other was the famous Hong Kong blogger "Madman of the South Sea". His blog post about "The Love of My Life" really pushed Lu Chen to the forefront of the storm.
Lu Chen knew about this matter and specially wrote a blog post to respond to it. As a result, he won Liu Tianwang's praise.
He thought the situation would calm down and returned to the capital a few days later.
However, the development of things was far beyond his expectations. The war caused by "Madman of the South Sea" did not completely extinguish. Instead, it spread more and more. Many people in the pop music scene were involved, and it became very popular on the Internet.
A few days ago, the famous columnist and music and film critic Chen Yuanchen published an article in the column of "Harbor City Daily". He thought that Hong Kong's musicians did not need to belittle themselves. A Cantonese work by Lu Chen could not prove anything. "The Love of My Life" was also not a classic that deserved to be bragged about. Moreover, there were suspicions of deliberate hype and the existence of the Internet.
"Harbor City Daily" was one of the Chinese newspapers with the largest circulation in Hong Kong. Chen Yuanchen's article caused a lot of response and also added firewood to the debate on the Internet.
At this time, Lu Chen, who was not famous in Hong Kong, was really popular, and his past experience was quickly dug out by people, including the matter that he came to Hong Kong to shoot a movie.
This inevitably touched the hearts of people in another circle, so there were rumors that people from the mainland used the support policy of the Hong Kong government to rob the opportunities of the local people, and called for the modification of the policy.
Because of the preparation for "A Chinese Ghost Story", the work in Hong Kong Studio was very busy, and Li Zhen was no exception, so the information she knew was limited. That was all she knew.
She said apologetically, "Young Master Lu, I'm really sorry. I should have reported these things to you earlier."
Lu Chen finally understood the cause and effect. He couldn't help laughing. "You don't want to farm just because you hear Lala's cry? We do our own things and don't need to pay too much attention to these things. "
His foundation was in China, and Hong Kong was just a platform for him to enter the film industry. It would be too stupid to get involved in gossip disputes, which involved energy and wasted time.
And how could a sparrow know the ambition of a swan!
