Chapter 114 "Waiting Alone"

"President Lu, how are you doing these days?" Cheng Yu'an called Lu Zheng.

"It's a good thing Cheng Dao called." Lu Zheng who was opposite laughed.

You may not be familiar with Lu Zheng, he is the boss of Starlight Film and Television Company.

Brilliant stars and not familiar?
This company has one and only one artist: Jing Tian!

Cheng Yu'an and Lu Zheng also know each other because Xiying had a relationship before.

Cheng Yu'an didn't exchange too many pleasantries, and asked, "What's Tian Tian doing recently?"

"Tian Tian is doing well. Since signing the contract with the company, he studies very hard now and practices dancing every day. Does Director Cheng have anything to do with Tian Tian?" Lu Zheng guessed that Cheng Yu'an might want to find Jing Tian to act in a play, but he didn't take the initiative to say so.

"I opened a movie here called "Sunflower", Mr. Lu has heard of it?" Cheng Yu'an said.

"I know this movie, it's a movie about you and Andy Lau's new star director project."

"Yes, this film lacks a character, the protagonist's sister, I wonder if Tian Tian has time to come and play." Cheng Yu'an sent out an invitation.

"When will the filming start?" Lu Zheng asked.

"It's around National Day. Now that the script has been finalized, the only thing left is the actors."

"Thank you very much for Director Cheng's invitation, but I have to ask Tiantian about this matter first. She agrees and we have to ask the school for leave before we can come out." Although I was very excited, I didn't agree immediately.

"It's okay, just give me an answer within three days, then Mr. Lu, you are busy."

"Okay, please follow Mr. Cheng next time."

"You're welcome."

Cheng Lingfeng watched from the side and asked him, "Who is Tiantian?"

"One, a little girl from Qin's hometown, the last time Xiying people brought her to the production crew to meet her, and she became acquainted with her after a few visits. She is 17 years old this year, and she happens to be playing the younger sister."

"What is the origin of this little girl? Xiying specially brought her here to meet someone?" Cheng Lingfeng asked.

Cheng Yu'an shook her head: "I don't know either. I heard that it is a descendant of an old leader's old friend who entrusts the old leader to take care of him."

Cheng Yu'an really doesn't know!
As one of the three unsolved mysteries in the entertainment industry, Cheng Yu'an has not figured out Tian Tian's background until now.

The two didn't tangled up on this issue.

On September 9st, Cheng Yuan drove to the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Beijing to participate in the premiere of "Waiting Alone".

"Waiting Alone" In Cheng Yu'an's opinion, it is a rare "fun" movie in China. The last such movie was Mi Jiashan's "Stubborn Lord".

As for Feng Xiaogang's Lunar New Year comedy, it's funny but not fun.

"Waiting Alone" won a lot of awards at the College Student Film Festival in May this year.

Won four awards: best actor, best debut, most popular actress among college students.

So today's premiere is also quite eye-catching.

The banquet hall of the hotel was full of people, Cheng Yu'an arrived late, and was squatted down by reporters when he entered.

"This time I'm here at the invitation of director Wu Shixian and Xia Yu." Cheng Yu'an said a few words at the sign-in area of ​​the venue, "I'm sorry, I have to enter the venue quickly, I'll go say hello first."

Cheng Yu'an waved goodbye to the reporter and went in.

"It looks good this time, and Xu Cairen is here too." Some reporters gathered together and muttered.

The meaning inside is self-explanatory.

Since the Golden Rooster Award that year, the two have never met in public.

Cheng Yu'an didn't know in advance that Xu Cairen would also come to support Wu Shixian today, otherwise...even if he knew, so what, could it be that the two of them would really never see each other?

Cheng Yu'an could see clearly that he had no grudge with Xu Cairen, it was the Golden Rooster Award issue.

Even if Xu Cairen did not participate in the Golden Rooster Awards back then, the best new director would have been awarded to Wulan Tana instead of "Sniping the Phone Booth".

Because the judges at this stage don't agree with a movie with a temperament like "Sniper Phone Booth".

Otherwise, why did "Hero" only win the best co-production feature film award for nothing?
Find out what the best feature films of that year were.

So when Cheng Yu'an saw that his seat was arranged next to Xu Cairen, although his heart skipped a beat, he didn't think much about it.

"Senior Sister." Cheng Yu'an even took the initiative to say hello.

Xu Cairen was taken aback for a moment, but he also reacted immediately, and said with a smile, "Here you are?"

The two sat together in silence, neither of them knew what to say, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

In the end, Xu Cairen was the first to find the words: "Have you watched "Waiting Alone"?"

"Not yet, I was filming in Hong Kong Island when the film archive premiered, and I didn't catch up. I heard that Director Wu complained a lot at that time, what's the matter?" Cheng Yu'an asked Xu Cairen.

"Hey, it's not a big deal, it's because of trouble." Xu Cairen obviously knew the inside story, "Lao Wu found six or seven distributors, but they didn't want to accept it. His words were ugly, and he directly said that he didn't want to release domestic films because Do not make money."

Cheng Yuan shook his head after hearing this. This situation is very helpless and realistic. Now the film and television companies in the mainland recognize Hong Kong films.

It is quite an honor for mainland male and female protagonists to act as supporting roles for second- and third-rate actors in Hong Kong films.

Xu Cairen went on to say: "Lao Wu scolded the distributors in the film archives, saying that they would rather distribute third-rate Hong Kong films than domestic films."

Xu Cairen added: "Actually, the distribution company also has something to say about it. Now the mainland directors, except for Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and you, no one can sell at the box office."

Cheng Yuan smiled.

"And our audience still eats Hong Kong movies, so it's very difficult."

Wu Shixian also had this consideration in inviting Cheng Yu'an to attend the premiere. After all, he couldn't invite Zhang Feng either.

The four main creators sat on high stools on the stage, two black and two white, Wu Shixian and Gong Beibi wore black, while Li Bingbing and Xia Yu wore white.

Fortunately, Wu Shixian didn't make any trouble at today's premiere, and went through the process smoothly.

At the end of the premiere, the creators answered a few questions and went backstage to rest.

The guests also followed suit.

Cheng Yu'an was the first to apologize: "Sorry for being late."

Yuan Quan smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't come."

"You don't need to ignore the face of Director Wu and Brother Yu, but you must give it to Sister Yuan Quan." Cheng Yu'an laughed.

"With your mouth, I don't know how many girls you have coaxed." Yuan Quan ignored him.

Wu Shixian and Gong Beibi also stepped forward to thank them.

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "When will you two have children?"

The two have been together for a long time and got married last year.

Wu Shixian didn't have good things to say about Cheng Yu'an, and said with a smile, "You're single and don't care when we have children. Let's settle your own affairs first."

Cheng Yu'an got back to the topic: "The movie is very good." But he also expressed his concerns, "But the domestic box office may not be too good, and selling copyrights should make some money."

Wu Shixian was quite open-minded: "Just return to the book." As for whether what he said is true or not, others don't know.

"This movie will not be out of date when you watch it ten or twenty years later. If you don't keep it all, you will make a movie inventory in the future. Your movie will be a classic."

This movie is pretty cool from start to finish, but it's really good.

Before Cheng Yuan left, Li Bingbing approached him and greeted him, "Director Cheng."

As soon as the two shook hands, Cheng Yu'an frowned, and Miss Li scratched his palm.

"Hello, Sister Bingbing."

Li Bingbing didn't know how Fan Xiaopang hooked up with Cheng Yu'an, but in her eyes, Fan Xiaopang knew the same tricks.

You will and I will not?
