Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 294 Premiere
The premiere of "Transcendence" should be the first public event for Zhang and Liu to reunite after the official announcement.

The movie will be released nationwide at 7 pm on July 3, and the premiere will be at 4 pm on the 2nd.

Even if a small-budget art film wins Best Actor at Cannes, its ostentation cannot compare to that of a commercial blockbuster.

But the treatment of "Transcendence" is much better than that of ordinary literary films.

Let's not talk about the film's release performance. Although the premiere was small, the exposure was definitely huge.

Therefore, even if you are not interested in the movie, many celebrity guests took the initiative to show up to support.

There were so many guests that the premiere organizers temporarily added a red carpet session.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun is at its most intense, many fans and reporters have already gathered outside the theater, waiting for the show to start.

At 4 p.m., the media arrived, and at 4:30, the red carpet ceremony officially began.

The first person to walk on the red carpet was the fast boy Zhang Jie, who came from the Mango stage.

Zhang Jie is very popular now, and his fans scream when he appears on the red carpet.

Of course, she is not as good as Li Yuchun who appeared later. Li Yuchun has become extremely popular since her debut. It was thanks to Maitian that she was invited to the platform.

When Li Yuchun came, Zhang Liangying would not come. Even though Liu Yifei sincerely invited her to attend beforehand, she just didn't come.

Huang Bo, Xu Shanzheng and others also attended the event that night.

Chen Sicheng, who had met once in Cannes, also appeared at the scene.

Liu Yifei made her penultimate appearance, wearing a pink knee-length dress with white sandals. It was not a formal dress, but it still looked gentle and dignified.Pictured above!
"Yifei!!"

"Sissy!!"

"Liu Yifei!!!"

The moment Liu Yifei appeared, fans on both sides of the red carpet screamed.

Liu Yifei didn't stay too long on the red carpet. She signed on the signature wall and took photos before entering the venue.

Zhang Yuanjun is such a thief. He knows that the media wants to see him and Liu Yifei walk on the red carpet together, but he refuses to let them get their way.

The crew of "Transcendence" made their final appearance, and Zhang Yuanjun's female companion was his heroine Huang Lu.

Entering the cinema, the organizer arranged a small celebration as usual to congratulate Zhang Yuanjun for winning the Cannes Best Actor.

Xu Shanzheng watched from the audience, extremely annoyed.

He wanted to act in movies like crazy.

I once asked Zhang Yuanjun to make a movie with him at a wine shop because of his predecessors. What Zhang Yuanjun produced at that time was "Transcendence".

At that time, it was said that it was a literary film about grassroots teachers. If he had money, he could invest 300 million to 500 million to make the film, but he didn't like it and didn't want to take investment risks. He just wanted to act in a commercial film.

Now "Transcendence" has changed its appearance, went to Hong Kong Island, and won the best actor in Cannes.

He really wanted to give himself two slaps. He was so obsessed at that time that he was searching for 300 million!
Now seeing Zhang Yuanjun and Li Yang enjoying all the flowers and applause, he felt like his heart was being stabbed.

Zhang Yuanjun shared his trip to Cannes and his feelings about winning the award on stage, but Xu Shanzheng didn't listen to a word.

A reporter asked this question: "Did Yifei say anything after you won the Best Actor Award?"

"Oh————" The whole audience cheered.

Zhang Yuanjun threw this question to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei stood up, took the phone and said, "He couldn't get through on the phone at that time. Then I stopped calling him until he returned to China."

"Did Yifei hold any special celebrations for Yuan Jun?"

Liu Yifei looked at her boyfriend, thought about it again, and said, "After I picked him up, we had a meal together and then did an exclusive interview. The next day he flew to Jinling to film a movie. There didn't seem to be any celebrations." Later she felt embarrassed.

Zhang Yuanjun quickly made amends: "I didn't expect her to come to pick her up at the airport. Being able to come is the best gift for me."

After a brief exchange, the creators sat down and started watching the video.In fact, it doesn’t matter whether a literary film is scheduled to be released or not, as long as it can be successfully released, it will be good.

Many domestic literary and artistic films cannot be released to the public at all, and "The Night with the Spring Breeze" cannot be released in China.

Moreover, "Transcendence" has already paid back its money through overseas copyrights, and the release will require a process to be explained to China Film and Silver Supervisors.

The 114 minutes passed quickly. The quality of the film and the performances of the actors impressed the media, audiences and film critics at the scene.

The exchange and sharing after the screening was very enjoyable.

"I rarely watch literary and artistic films. I think they are too boring, but today's movie was very immersive. I was involved in it in less than 2 minutes and finished watching it before I knew it. Thank you." One audience member expressed himself Love of movies.

Film critics and experts believe that this film is a benchmark for domestic art films in recent years.

"If I were to rate it, I would definitely rank "Transcendence" as the No. 1 domestic film this year."

"Zhang Yuanjun's performance is very delicate, which makes me look forward to "Source Code" which will be released next month."

"Will Zhang Yuanjun make more art films in the future?"

Zhang Yuanjun replied: "If there is a good script and a good director, of course I am willing to film it."

The premiere of "Transcendence" ended successfully. Zhang Yuanjun complied with the media's wishes. In the final group photo, he pulled Liu Yifei to his side, put his arms around her waist, and gave Liu Yifei the flowers given to him by fans. Liu Yifei stood next to him, and the two took this photo intimately.

Amid the boos from the audience, Zhang Yuanjun took the blushing Liu Yifei's hand and left the stage.

Then, the reporter took a photo: Zhang Yuanjun was holding Liu Yifei's hand in the underground parking lot of the theater. Zhang Yuanjun's suit jacket was draped on Liu Yifei. The two got in the car together and drove away.

Zhang Yuanjun appeared on Hong Kong Island thousands of miles away the next day to attend the premiere of "Detachment".

Although "Detachment" participated in the Cannes Film Festival in the name of a mainland film, Hong Kong audiences didn't care. In their eyes, "Detachment" was just a Hong Kong film.

But a literary film must have the consciousness of a literary film. Even if it won the Cannes Grand Prix, it would be difficult to sell "Transcendence" for money.

On the first day on the mainland, the revenue was 300 million, but on Hong Kong Island it was only 20.

I was prepared, but to be honest, Zhang Yuanjun still felt uncomfortable when faced with such results.

"Transcendence" is the second literary film he made, but it was the first to be released.

He put a lot of effort into it, and he was in excellent condition when he acted, and he won the coveted Best Actor award.

But the audience just didn’t like watching it, and the film just couldn’t sell tickets.

Zhang Yuanjun is in power and will inevitably be affected by the box office, but Li Yang has a good attitude. He also comforted Zhang Yuanjun: "That's how making art movies are. Besides, we are making money, so relax. I shot "Detachment" It was the fastest and happiest movie we’ve ever made, and we did a great job.”

Zhang Yuanjun made a few promotional stops in China and then returned to the capital to rest.

Zhang and Liu will not stay in China for long. "Inception" will start shooting on the 13th, and they must fly to the set before the 10th.

So in the past few days before the two took off, they received many invitations.

Some require two people to be present, and some simply want to take advantage of their fame.

Mango Channel has been busy handing Zhang Yuanjun the list of actors in the past few days and asking him to choose.

The script for the TV series is still being worked on, but the title has been decided, and it's called "Snow Leopard".

Liu Yifei also said: "Are you still acting in TV series?"

"Why can't I act in TV series anymore," Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile, "I advise you not to give up on TV series. You have to rely on TV series to gain fans."

Liu Yifei laughed and said: "No one asked me to act in a TV series. I also want to act in an idol drama with you and fall in love at public expense."

"Don't look at me, I can't write idol dramas." Zhang Yuanjun said, "Then come on, if you come across a good idol drama, bring it over and I'll give you a discount on your salary."

The two talked for a while, and Zhang Yuanjun said: "I won't go back tonight."

"Disgusting." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes.
