The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 572 "Dalian by the Sea" starts

At 2012 a.m. on November 11, 7, the sky in Dalian was gray and foggy, with visibility no more than 9 meters.

Looking up, the tall buildings seemed to be hidden in the clouds and rain.

There were very few cars on the street. All the cars turned on their searchlights, moved cautiously, and kept their horns on to alert oncoming vehicles.

Pedestrians were dressed in down jackets, thick cotton trousers, hats, and covered their faces with scarves or masks, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

This is the dress of local people. People who are new to the country and don't know the Northeast climate usually show their faces.

In front of a farmyard in the eastern suburbs, a group of people stamped their feet and stood outdoors in high spirits.

This group of people is the crew of "Dalian by the Sea", including crew members and actors.

The male lead Zhang Songwen and the second male lead Lu Han were also there.

Lu Han was wearing a long down jacket that almost covered his calves and was very warm.

He was not wearing a hat, his face was exposed, and all his hair was exposed.

The fog was heavy and his hair quickly became stained with fog, but since he had a lot of hair, he didn't have to worry about it sticking to his scalp and ruining his look.

Next to Lu Han, followed a young man. If Lu Han's appearance is rated at 85 points, this man is at [-] points. He has a pie face, small eyes, a flat nose, and a typical peninsula face.

This person's name is Quan Dazhong, and he is Lu Han's assistant.

Quan Dazhong studied in the Mainland before and can speak Mandarin.

At this time, he was standing next to Lu Han, his eyes wandering, and there was a feeling of pride in his eyes.

"Lu Han, have you seen the group of fans just now? There are at least 200 people. I didn't expect there to be so many fans in such weather."

EXO is a big hit, and the news that Lu Han will take over the filming of "Dalian by the Sea" has already spread out.

Fans of Lu Han were waiting for Lu Han downstairs in the hotel where the crew lived. There were 300 people standing on both sides of the street holding support signs, which was quite impressive.

Quan Dazhong was very happy. The male lead Zhang Songwen didn't have many fans, and Li Shengyao also didn't have many fans. He felt that Lu Han was the most popular among the crew.

When Lu Han heard this, he smiled and nodded.

Quan Dazhong glanced at the crew members who were busy working. In the heavy fog, this area seemed very quiet, not as large as a large crew. He couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, feeling that this crew was not as good as Lu Han alone.

Today is the time to start filming "Dalian by the Sea", but the sudden heavy fog caught everyone off guard.

Now the crew of "Dalian by the Sea" is ready to be completed, but there are still some sponsors and friends have not arrived, so Lee Sheng Yew plans to postpone it for half an hour.

"How long will it take?

Will they really come?
Lu Han, this Director Li is not as popular as he imagined.

I heard that many netizens have boycotted him recently. Is he affected? "

Despite repeated warnings from senior management, Quan Dazhong was told not to look down upon the mainland entertainment industry.

However, Quan Dazhong had watched news that disparaged China since he was a child. Even when he grew up and studied in China, his concept still did not change. In his mind, the mainland was a poor place.

Lee Sing-yew, a great director who has won two Palme d'Ors, is just an anomaly in this land.

He doesn't think this place is worth paying attention to, and he doesn't think the company needs to care about the Chinese market.

Lu Han heard Quan Dazhong's words, frowned slightly, and then whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, Director Li's status is not our turn."

Quan Dazhong curled his lips, but did not refute.Lu Han looks like a porcelain doll, but he has a very strong personality. If he wants to refute, he will definitely be reprimanded.

At this moment, several cars came and a group of people got off.

The assistant director then picked up the loudspeaker and announced that the opening ceremony of "Dalian by the Sea" had officially begun.

The field workers set up a small stage in the yard, and then the assistant director said a few words, and then someone came on stage to talk.

"Hello everyone, I am the manager of Lian Lianshun Hotel. Our hotel will be fully responsible for the next lunch and dinner for the crew of "Dalian by the Sea". We will continue to serve the crew until the film is completed."

The Lian Lianshun Hotel was well-known in this area. They approached Lee Sheng-yew and offered to provide lunch and dinner for the crew for free. All they had to do was let them advertise and hang a banner in the hotel saying "The designated hotel for the crew of "Dalian by the Sea"".

After the hotel manager went down, another manager came up.

"Hello everyone, I am the manager of Minghong Hotel. We are the hotel designated by the crew of "Dalian by the Sea". During the next production process, all the crew of "Dalian by the Sea" will stay in our hotel, and our hotel will provide home delivery services." style service.”

Like the Lian Lianshun Hotel above, "Dalian by the Sea" stays at the Minghong Hotel for free, just by advertising them.

He easily saved two to three million yuan, and Lu Han was envious just looking at it.

Some movies have a lot of advertising sponsorships, and "Dalian by the Sea" also has sponsorships outside of the movie.

Seeing that Quan Dazhong was confused, he explained the matter in a low voice.

When Quan Dazhong heard this, he was stunned. Peninsula's movie brand was not that big, and he had never heard about free hotel stays and free food.

After the manager of Minghong Hotel stepped down, the leader of Dalian Tourism Bureau came to the stage to speak, followed by the leader of Dalian Cultural Bureau.

Lu Han went on to explain the identities of these two people, and Quan Dazhong was shocked. He did not expect that official people would also come to support Li Shengyao.

But he didn't show it, and his face remained calm, as if this was a very ordinary thing.

After the two leaders stepped down, the staff at the scene put up a large screen and then played several congratulatory videos.

Feng Xiaogang, Lao Mouzi, and Jiang Wen all recorded videos to express their congratulations on the launch of "Dalian by the Sea".

Quan Dazhong didn't recognize these mainland directors, so he touched his chin and tried to maintain a high profile.

At this moment, the last congratulatory video was played. This video was recorded by Cheng Long.

Cheng Long is still well-known in the peninsula.

Quan Dazhong has been watching Cheng Long's movies since he was a child. He stared at the screen with wide eyes in disbelief.

I never expected that Li Shengyao was so good that even Cheng Long recognized Director Li.

As people living in an information cocoon, all the news about China they see is filtered, and they have no idea of ​​the real situation in China.

Only then did Quan Dazhong truly understand Li Shengyao's status in the mainland.

He originally thought that Lu Han was so popular that he could walk sideways on the set, but then he realized that Lu Han was just a little shrimp in front of Li Shengyao. It was Lu Han who begged to join the set, not Li Shengyao who begged Lu Han.

At this time, Lee Sheng Yew came on stage and loudly announced that "Dalian by the Sea" was officially launched. Then bursts of firecrackers sounded. Lee Sheng Yew took two assistants and handed out red envelopes to everyone.

Not only actors and field workers, but also reporters and actor assistants.

Quan Dazhong received a red envelope. He held the red envelope blankly and found that Li Shengyao did not take special care of Lu Han when he handed out the red envelope. He patted his shoulder and left quickly.

He further understood Director Li's status.
