Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 563 Celebration Banquet

On June 6, the domestic suspense film "The Hypnotist" directed by Chen Zhengdao and starring Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei was officially released.

The film was released for a total of 37 days and ended with a perfect box office of 5.02 million.

Wanda Films, the main investor in the film, held a grand celebration banquet for the crew in Shanghai on the evening of the 5th.

Wanda wanted to flirt with Zhang Yimou and also extended an invitation to him, but she was smart and only allowed Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei to attend the celebration banquet, and he himself would not come.

"The Master of Hypnosis" has become a great story in the market in the first half of the year with its small and large scale.

Wanda was not stingy about the celebration party for this low-cost film, and spent a lot of money on media, red carpets, cocktail parties, song and dance performances, and celebrity guests.

Wang Jianlin even came to the scene to celebrate the success of the crew.

"The Master of Hypnosis" is Wanda's most successful project since she entered the production field.

Before the celebration banquet, the online media was heckled.

As soon as she stepped on the red carpet, she immediately caused the fans to scream. She was the most popular among all the red carpet guests before.

"The box office of "The Master of Hypnosis" exceeded 5 million. Will Zhang Yuanjun fulfill his promise and carry Liu Yifei on the red carpet?" This was Zhang Yuanjun's promise when the film premiered. If the box office exceeded 5 million, he would carry Liu Yifei on the red carpet.

After all, it is just a red carpet celebration banquet. There is no need to organize it like a film festival. There are no red carpet interviews arranged today. The guests will just walk through the red carpet, sign their names on the signature wall, and let the media take a few photos.

After Tang Yan signed his name, he entered the venue.

And she also wanted to see how Zhang Yuanjun carried Liu Yifei up.

Everyone laughed when they saw it!

Zhang Yuanjun was riding an old-fashioned bicycle with horizontal bars, and his wife was sitting behind him.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the red carpet officially started. The first person to walk on the red carpet was an unknown starlet, who must have been sent by the agency to check his face.

However, after the three members of the "Hypnotist" crew passed by, the host did not announce the end of the red carpet, but said: "Next, let us welcome the male and female protagonists of "The Hypnotist", Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei."

Tang Yan was also filming in the Magic City during this time. The movie "Good Sisters" was a big hit. There was a celebration party, so she should come to the stage.

20 minutes later, Tang Yan walked onto the red carpet.

It's just a donation of 200 million yuan, so Lao Wang should not take it seriously.

Few people doubted Wanda's donation commitment. After Lao Wang became the richest man, Wanda's money was money, and it was cheaper than paper.

"The celebration reception for "The Master of Hypnosis" is about to begin. Let's wait and see whether Zhang Yuanjun can fulfill his promise."

But strangely, the audience only saw Chen Zhengdao, Wang Yaoqing, and Hu Jing walking on the red carpet, but not the leading actor or actress.

Zhang Yuanjun has no problem with walking on the red carpet behind his wife's back, but it's just not in good taste.

The sound of a bell sounded from the other end of the red carpet.

Ringing~

Ringing~

Zhang Yuanjun rode his bicycle slowly on the red carpet.

Still waiting to see Zhu Bajie carry his wife on his back.

The cameras of the media and the audience are all focused on this lively couple.

There is also a festive big red flower tied on the bicycle.

The finale of the red carpet is naturally the protagonist tonight, the crew of "The Master of Hypnosis".

It would be much more fun to ride a bicycle instead.

Liu Yifei wore a lavender dress by Georges Hobeika today and sat behind an old-fashioned bicycle, smiling from ear to ear - she also likes to play like this.

Liu Yifei grabbed Zhang Yuanjun's clothes from behind and said, "Ah, ride slower and more steadily." The red carpet was not long, and it was all over with just a few kicks, but Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei were not satisfied, so they turned around and rode again.

Ringing~

Ringing~

After walking on the red carpet three times and allowing the audience and media to take enough photos, the couple got off the car, stood by the signature wall, signed autographs and took photos, and then entered the venue.

Georges Hobeika will probably regret lending his dress to Liu Yifei to wear to the celebration ceremony. He sat on the back of a bicycle and walked the red carpet, and the beauty of the dress was not shown at all.

Entering the venue, the venue adopts a self-service reception mode, with the main stage in front.

Not long after, the host invited Lao Wang up and asked him to speak.

In fact, on this occasion, Ye Ning, the direct person in charge of Wanda Film and Television, is the most suitable speaker.

Lao Wang is good at filling cups, and the 5 million box office of "Hypnosis Master" also gave him the capital to fill cups tonight.

After congratulating the crew on such a great achievement, Lao Wang began to say: "Actually, when the company first asked Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei to act, they were very unsure. The salaries of these two people are so expensive, and our small-budget film can't afford them. I said What are you afraid of? Our story is rare in China. Both of them are knowledgeable people. They will definitely like our script. No matter how expensive the film is, it will only be a small amount. I told them that when we make movies, we must be based on The story is the first priority, and money is the best solution. Why are you worrying about money? Later, they took the script to talk, and I was right, and it was done right away.

"Then the box office predictions were the same. Some of the company said 10 million, and some said million. I said why are you so timid? You didn't even dare to predict the box office higher. I said I wish "The Hypnotist" would hit billion at the box office."

As soon as Lao Wang said these words, everyone in the audience laughed.

Lao Wang smiled: "One billion is definitely an exaggeration. But I said 10 million is still thinkable."

"I have been friends with the father of our hero Zhang Yuanjun for more than ten or twenty years. After the movie exceeded 4 million, I called Yuanjun's father to tell him the good news. I said that your family's young couple are amazing, and the investment for a movie is so small. All the movies can be brought to such high box office by both of them."

The audience laughed again. This was also the first time that many people in the audience knew that the Zhang and Wang families had known each other for a long time.

"I also taught my family a lesson, and I said you should also learn from others. Don't feel uncomfortable watching this or that on the Internet all day long."

The audience laughed. Xiao Wang has frequently fired shots on Weibo in the past few years, and everyone present knew it.

Wang Jianlin then talked a little bit about Wanda Video's future plans. He also knew that tonight was the home stage of "The Hypnotist", so he went down in five or six minutes without saying much.

Then, of course, Ye Ning took the stage with the crew and the main creators to share their experience in winning 5 million box office.

After talking about this, the celebration party really started.

Tang Yan approached Liu Yifei and said, "You must be the first one to ride a bicycle on the red carpet."

Liu Yifei smiled and said: "Is it fun?"

Tang Yan nodded in agreement and asked how long Liu Yifei would stay in Shanghai: "I'll wrap up filming in a few days." "Lively" has been filming for three months.

"I'm still early. The filming will take place at least until the end of July." Liu Yifei can't say when the filming will take place.

Tang Yan asked Liu Yifei: "Did you really play Shirley Yang in "The Secret of the Dragon"?"

"Why do you ask this?" Liu Yifei said.

"My agent is helping me win the role of Shirley Yang in "The Nine-Story Demon Tower" directed by Lu Chuan."

"That's very good. If you can act, just do it." Liu Yifei encouraged her.

But Tang Yan said: "I don't want the last two films to be compared when we play the same character."

"Shirley Yang is the heroine. If the heroine is given to you, why don't you act?"

Tang Yan's concerns were purely paranoid.

"Then tell me, will you act in "The Secret of the Dragon"?"

Liu Yifei smiled slyly: "I won't tell you."
