Actor: My Entertainment Era

Currently, there is only one international superstar in the Chinese film industry, and that is Jackie Chan.

Nowadays, many young audiences think that Jackie Chan is old and lacks appeal. But in fact, Jackie Chan has produced one or two movies every year in the past five or six years, and because he has overseas markets, even though the domestic box office is not so good - in fact, relative to the cost It’s already good – but it can still be profitable through copyright operations.

Tonight’s China Night mainly recommends “Twelve Zodiac Signs” and “Painted Skin 2”.

In fact, the officials have seen it clearly. For external promotion, they prefer blockbusters that are popular with global audiences, and rarely promote literary and artistic films.

Although "She" is the only entry in this year's Chinese-language main competition.

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei arrived at the hotel beach half an hour after the event started. By that time, the leader's speech had ended, a show was being performed on the stage, and the guests in the audience were gathering in twos and threes to chat, dine or enjoy the show.

One thing Zhang Yuanjun doesn't understand is why opera must be included in the performances of this kind of official external event.

Zhang Yuanjun has participated in the Cannes China Night for several years. It seems that every year there must be an opera program, and this year it is "The Peony Pavilion".

This year there will also be acrobatics, diabolo dancing and more.

This is what makes Zhang Yuanjun very conflicted. The organizers of the event know that to promote movies to the outside world, they need to promote blockbusters and popular ones, but the programs they perform do not choose pop culture.

In fact, if you look at it carefully, these programs are still very good to watch. Many performance techniques of opera can be applied to film, television and drama stages.

But can these foreigners understand what is being sung on the stage?

The two were immediately surrounded by reporters when they arrived at the event. They were not being interviewed today. After taking photos, Zhang Yuanjun pushed through the crowd and took Liu Yifei away.

The staff found a table for the two of them.

"What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you." Liu Yifei said.

"You can take whatever you want, you really come here to eat." Zhang Yuanjun said.

Liu Yifei went to pick out food with her assistant. When she came back, she saw her husband talking to Wang Zhonglei.

"Painted Skin 2" is a project of Ning Province Film Group, but this time it was Huayi, another producer and main distributor of the film, who led the team to Cannes. "Zodiac" is also owned by Huayi.

Tonight's event is not so much hosted by a movie channel as it is a Chinese Arts Night.

"Yifei is here." Wang Zhonglei greeted Liu Yifei when he saw her coming.

Liu Yifei called Mr. Wang and then sat next to Zhang Yuanjun.

In fact, what the two of them talked about was just gossip, and serious cooperation would not be discussed in this kind of situation.

"This year's main competition is very competitive," Wang Zhonglei said. "It will be a great morale booster if you win another award."

"It's already great to be nominated in such a big year." Zhang Yuanjun said.

But in fact, Wang Zhonglei pays more attention to the trading market. Talking about the popularity of the trading market this year, he said: "Basically, I scan for goods. The market bulletin board is updated so fast that I don't even have time to read it. I basically won't counter-offer the quotation. I agree on the spot." Sign the contract."

"How is the sales of "Painted Skin 2"?" There is no need to ask about "Twelve Zodiacs". With Jackie Chan here, there is no need to worry about selling.

"It hasn't been listed on the trading market yet." The market is so hot. Wang Zhonglei wants to show off. "I want to promote it for a few days first and then list it in two days."

After chatting for a while, Wang Zhonglei left voluntarily: "I have something to do over there, so I'll leave first."

Only then did Zhang Yuanjun have time to eat something, but when he saw what Liu Yifei had brought for him, he said, "What are you talking about? Who would seriously eat something like this?" Several assistants laughed.

Liu Yifei brought him an oyster, a scallop, and two shrimps.

"You are not covering up at all now." Zhang Yuanjun said.

"Eat as you eat. Only when you are full can you have the strength to work." What she said best was work.

But she still changed her plate to Zhang Yuanjun, which contained a steamed dumpling. "That's pretty much it."

"I'll peel the shrimps and you can eat them later."

Zhang Yuanjun saw Yang Mi coming this way and said, "Your bridesmaid is here."

It's strange that Yang Mi, as the main creator of "Painted Skin 2", was able to come to the event, but Liu Kaiwei was not able to come.

Of course Yang Mi would not be so stupid as to show off in front of Liu Yifei and Zhang Yuanjun that she starred in a big-budget movie like "Painted Skin 2".

Even if the two heroines of "Painted Skin 2" come, their resources may not be as good as Liu Yifei's, let alone her.

Zhang Yuanjun fully suspected that Yang Mi’s stylist had a grudge against her. No matter how she looked at her long white dress with big waves and Barbie pink lip gloss, she didn’t think it looked good.

"I'd better go," Zhang Yuanjun stood up with his own glass of champagne, "You guys have a good chat."

"Why did he leave?" Yang Mi thought she had offended him somewhere.

"It's okay," Liu Yifei said with a smile, "call him over there."

Liu Yifei nodded to the creators of "Zodiac" not far away. Jackie Chan was talking to several leaders.

In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that the sky in China is clearly distinguishable at night.

In Wandao, Chen Yanxi, who became popular with "Those Years", also came to the scene, and Zheng Yuanchang was also accompanied, but it was difficult for the two of them to integrate into the atmosphere of the scene.

Mainland celebrities such as Zhang Yuanjun, Liu Yifei and Yang Mi at most nodded to them and said hello. The crew of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" was the focus of the audience and they couldn't get in.

As a result, the two Bay Island artists could only talk to some second- and third-tier guests at the scene, which made the scene less embarrassing.

Chen Yanxi is obviously four years older than Liu Yifei, but when she met Liu Yifei, she was as humble as a junior.

"I heard you are getting married, happy wedding." Chen Yanxi sent her blessing.

"Thank you." But in fact, Liu Yifei didn't know her at all. She knew that "Those Years" was a big hit, but she had never seen that movie until now.

Chen Yanxi obviously didn't want to just say hello and leave: "Yifei, I've watched all your movies and TV series, they're great."

"Thank you."

"You are super popular in Wandao! Especially your movie "Lovers in Time and Space", I like it very much. You and Yuan Jun are simply the real couple of the Condor Heroes." But in fact, "Lovers in Time and Space" failed to enter Wandao For a public release, the distributor probably released the disc or screened it privately.

"It's just a pity that you and Yuanjun rarely go to Wandao to promote."

Liu Yifei smiled and said: "I will go to Bay Island to film at the end of the month."

"Really! That would be great."

Yang Mi wanted to drive her away. She didn't even know her, so she just said hello and left. She insisted on trying to strike up a conversation like a fan.

So, Yang Mi said: "Yifei, the chocolate tonight tastes good. Have you ordered the candies for your wedding?"

The meaning is obvious. The bridesmaid and the bride are going to discuss wedding preparations. Please leave if you are waiting.

Of course Chen Yanxi understood and found an excuse to leave. She also said that Liu Yifei wanted to visit her when she went to Bay Island to film.

Liu Yifei glared at Yang Mi, who smiled and said softly: "Don't think I can't see it. In fact, you don't want to say anything anymore, and it's hard to refuse. I'll take care of this bad guy."

"Thank you." Liu Yifei smiled. (End of chapter)
