China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 674 Cut for You and "New World" Premiere [Two in One]

Emperor Theatre, Times Square, Causeway Bay.

The premiere ceremony of "New World", which has recently been called the most anticipated movie of the year by Hong Kong movie fans, will be held here soon.

A number of big stars have gathered at the scene.

I originally thought that since Sun Yi would hold the premiere in Hong Kong Island instead of the mainland, which is his base, the premiere scene would be rather bleak, but I didn't expect it to still be star-studded.

In addition to the main creative staff of Star Sky, including Zhang Yi, Zhang Songwen, Yang Mi, Luo Jin, Ding Yongdai and Wang Jinsong, Jacky Cheung attended again with his son, and Shu Qi and Gu Tian Le came specially to show their support. Yinghuang also sent out their number one brother, Prince Xie, and his princess consort to attend.

Since the "photo gate" incident two years ago, Cecilia Cheung has kept a low profile for a long time, staying at home to take care of her husband and children. It was not until this year that she set up her own personal studio and it seems that she is about to make a comeback.

There were rumors that their marriage had problems, and that it might have originated from the "photo gate" incident two years ago. However, judging from their loving behavior during the interview today, the rumors seemed to be inconsistent.

As for whether it is true or not, no one knows.

The time was almost up and the red carpet ceremony was about to begin, but Xiaoting, the person in charge of the event today, was waiting at the red carpet entrance with an anxious look on her face, constantly looking up at the time.

A young man with a starry sky work badge around his neck ran over.

"Sister Ting, it's time for the red carpet. Shall we start as planned?"

Xiao Ting frowned and hesitated for a while. After looking at the time on her watch again, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Start as planned and tell the MC to slow down the tempo as much as possible."

"Okay, Sister Ting."

Because today's premiere will be held in Hong Kong Island, and with the strong support of our partner Yinghuang Pictures, not many people came with the team. Right now, Xiaoting is the highest leader of Starry Sky on the scene.

So she has to make the final decision on everything.

As for the big boss Sun Yi?

God knows what he is doing now.
"Now, please welcome our big brother Cheng Long~"

The host's voice could be heard from the venue, accompanied by the faint cheers of fans.

Xiaoting stood on tiptoe from time to time to look towards the intersection, and her heart became more and more anxious.

After about twenty minutes, a Mercedes-Benz nanny car finally stopped in front of Xiaoting.

Sun Yi, Liu Yifei and their assistant Zhang Xin got off the car one after another.

"My dear brother and sister, where have you two been? Hurry up, the red carpet has already begun."

"Oh, I didn't know Hong Kong Island had so much traffic."

Sun Yi laughed awkwardly and told lies that came out of his mouth easily, which made Liu Yifei's pretty face blush. She didn't dare to look directly at Xiaoting, so she could only lift her skirt and walk inside quickly.

As Xiaoting walked, she shifted her gaze to Zhang Xin's face, wanting to ask something.

Don't look at me, how can I control them?

Zhang Xin stuck out her tongue innocently, then followed with her sister's handbag in her hand.

Xiao Ting didn't know what to say, so she could only introduce the situation on the scene to Sun Yi as much as possible on the way, including the guests coming tonight and the media on the scene, so that he could prepare in advance.

Fortunately, the reporters were all attracted by the red carpet ceremony and no one was paying attention to this side, otherwise it might have made the headlines tomorrow.

When they arrived at the red carpet preparation area, all the guests who came to show their support had already left, leaving only Starry Sky's own people, who were discussing whether they should go out one by one or in groups of two to take some time.

Seeing Sun Yi and Liu Yifei arrive, I finally felt relieved.

There is no need to bear the stigma of malicious hype about the red carpet ceremony.

"Sorry, sorry, there's a traffic jam."

Sun Yi laughed and no one had any objection. They all knew that Hong Kong Island was a small place and traffic jams were commonplace.

However, when everyone's eyes turned to Liu Yifei, some doubts arose in their minds.

Traffic jam is traffic jam, it's normal, why are you blushing?? ! !
Fortunately, everyone didn’t remain confused for long before the host announced the film’s main creative team, and they had obviously received information from the director.

He has been blabbering on the red carpet for a long time, and if he keeps going on like this, he'll be running out of words.

Since there were so many creative people in the crew, they set out in batches.

The first group consists of Zhang Songwen, Yang Mi, Zhang Yi and Luo Jin.

The movie "Beijing Meets Seattle" a few years ago also achieved good box office in Hong Kong Island, so today's movie fans are still familiar with these people.

The two hosts, one in Cantonese and the other in Mandarin, began to introduce themselves.

Next up was Sun Yi, Liu Yifei and two veteran actors, Ding Yongdai and Wang Jinsong.

Seeing Sun Yi and Liu Yifei, the fans at the scene became excited.

"Pacific Rim", a movie comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster, has made a large number of Hong Kong movie fans become fans of Sun Yi, not to mention Liu Yifei. She has already gained considerable fame in Hong Kong Island since "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

Later, "Those Years" and "Shelter" helped her to go further and gained a large number of fans.

If we were to rank the popularity of mainland female movie stars among Hong Kong movie fans, Liu Yifei would undoubtedly be at the top of the list.

However, the entertainment reporters who were taking pictures on the sidelines did notice some differences.

There's something a little off about Liu Yifei's outfit tonight.

Normally, female stars would wear evening gowns, or variations of them, to attend such grand ceremonies.

But right now Liu Yifei's outfit is a bit, well, how should I put it, weird.

Of course, she was also wearing an exquisite dress, which showed off her graceful figure to the fullest.

And judging from the length of the skirt and the specially embellished waist, it should be a flat-chested and shoulder-length style.

Experienced entertainment journalists can all see this.

But why add a cape??!!

Although the overall look is not abrupt, but adds some intellectual beauty to her, but it can be seen at a glance that this is not a set at all.

Reporters could only attribute the reason to the cold weather.

Little did people know that this shawl was just something Liu Yifei used to temporarily cover herself up.

It has to be covered, even the chest and the one on it. Anyway, it is a "lot of results", and these evidences cannot be erased in a short time.

Walking on the red carpet, she held her shawl tightly to her shoulders, and even when waving to fans she didn't dare raise her hands too high, for fear of being photographed by the ubiquitous reporters.

The red carpet ceremony had been delayed for a long time, so Sun Yi and others did not accept any interviews. After signing their names on the sign-in card, they entered the venue.

There were no media reporters here, and Sun Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew~ I'm finally done. I almost missed it."

With just a simple complaint, he was unexpectedly attacked by Liu Yifei's Nine Yin White Bone Claw, which tightly pinched the soft flesh on Sun Yi's waist.

“Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong~~~~”

Sun Yi put his hands together and begged for mercy repeatedly. Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei didn't fall for it at all. Not only did she not relax her hands at all, but she twisted them hard instead.

Originally, her time was arranged very well, more than enough and even enough to spare, but she had to lose face like this. Now she has to vent her anger no matter what.

If you can't control yourself anymore, I'll cut it off for you next time.

Liu Yifei's beautiful eyes widened, her lips were tightly pursed, her pretty face was full of shame, anger and threats.

She didn't want to experience such a thrilling social death scene again.

Although it is quite exciting, it is embarrassing after all.

Everyone was walking in front, and Sun Yi couldn't make any big movements. He could only twist his waist as hard as he could, until he grimaced in pain and couldn't bear it anymore. He simply spread out his left hand, put two fingers of his right hand together, and knelt down in front of Liu Yifei.

It vividly illustrates what it means for a real man to be able to bend and stretch.

Seeing that Sun Yi was so spineless, Liu Yifei's beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She was both angry and amused, and finally she couldn't help but grin.

After giving Sun Yi a blank look, he stopped his hand movements, and then rubbed Sun Yi's wound with a look of concern.

Sun Yi put his arm around the girl's slender waist and smiled, looking like he only cared about the food and not the beating.

What's the big deal about pinching twice?
Compared with the benefits I got, it's just a drop in the bucket~
After entering the venue, Sun Yi, as the host, shook hands with the guests who came to show their support one by one and exchanged a few words with each of them.

Those who can come are here out of friendship, and we must give them this face.

Liu Yifei also followed Sun Yi.

Now when they attend events outside, everyone treats them as a prospective couple.

"Wow, Xixi, you are in great shape today. You are simply stunningly beautiful."

Shu Qi gave Liu Yifei a big hug and praised her sincerely.

How can it be bad? I just had a major maintenance treatment and of course my skin is now fair, rosy and extremely moisturized.

"Sister Qi, you look very beautiful today too."

"Come, let me introduce you, this is Cecilia~"

Su Qi introduced Cecilia Cheung who was next to her to Liu Yifei.

Cecilia Cheung had been keeping an eye on Liu Yifei since she entered the venue, and only now did she finally come out of her shock.

Before the "photo gate" incident, she had always been a darling of the Hong Kong film and television industry.

Although she is no longer in the limelight, she is still the last generation of the jade girl leader in Hong Kong Island. She is also very curious about the fairy sisters in mainland China, and it is inevitable that she will compare them.

But after watching the whole thing, I was deeply shocked. This fairy sister is really beautiful without any blind spots.

"Ms. Liu, nice to meet you. Hello."

"Hello, Sister Zhi, you can just call me Yifei or Xixi, that's what my friends call me."

Liu Yifei must have known Cecilia Cheung, as she had seen her when she came to Hong Kong for promotional activities for "Dear Dragon" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes". However, at that time, she was just a newcomer who had just debuted in the mainland and had no chance to meet her.

Now the identities and status of the two people are obviously different.

"Haha, don't be polite, Xixi. You'll be staying in Hong Kong Island for a while this time. I'll take you out for a good stroll then."

Shu Qi played the role of a good sister and acted like a host.

"Okay~!"

The three girls chatted for a while, and only returned to their seats when the premiere was about to officially begin.

The only advantage of holding the premiere in Hong Kong Island is that there are no speeches by leaders, and the main course is served right away.

Sun Yi and his crew introduced some interesting stories about the filming of the movie, including the origin of the movie and the script. In front of so many people, he said bluntly:

"At that time, many media in Hong Kong Island said that I didn't value Hong Kong Island audiences, and later they said I couldn't make Hong Kong films."

"Yes, I was born in the mainland and I did not experience the era when Hong Kong films flourished. I admit that I really don't know how to shoot them, but I am willing to try my best, if not for anything else, just for all the fans sitting here. I hope that everyone will like "New World" this time."

Bang bang bang bang~
With bursts of applause in the venue, the premiere ceremony completed the fixed procedures and came to the film screening session.

A dragon logo that is becoming increasingly familiar to Hong Kong movie fans appeared, followed by the exclusive logo of Starry Sky Image, followed by the Yinghuang logo, and finally the big words "Director Sun Yi's work" appeared in the center of the screen.

The movie begins with a wailing sound, and then a middle-aged man with blood all over his head appears in the center of the camera.

"Secretary Cui, stop being so stubborn and just speak."

Just like in the trailer, Li Zicheng, played by Zhang Yi, looks like he doesn't care about his relatives. He sits not far away, surrounded by his younger brothers who are all in suits.

"Director Li, it's not me. It's really not me. Think about it. I have followed the president for so many years. How could I collude with the police to betray the group? You have to believe me~"

The middle-aged man was already crying, but Zhang Yi remained cold and silent. The younger brother behind him started pouring cement on the middle-aged man, then sealed him in a box and sank him directly into the sea.

He performed the whole set of movements smoothly and it was definitely not the first time he did this.

Zhang Yi has long been numb to such scenes because he is the one who specializes in doing the dirty work within the group.

But beneath his cold mask, he actually has another identity: a police undercover who has been lurking in the Kinmen Group for 8 years.

During these eight years, he collected all the criminal evidence of Shi Dong, the group's chairman, for the police. He thought he could complete the task this time and return to his original life, but he did not expect that the Kinmen Group was no longer an ordinary underworld organization, and its tentacles had penetrated into every aspect of Hong Kong Island. After a year of trial, the court finally acquitted him due to insufficient evidence.

This means that Zhang Yi’s eight years of undercover career were completely in vain.

A lot of information appeared in just a few minutes of the movie. The male protagonist was told at the beginning that he was an undercover police agent, which aroused great curiosity among the fans at the scene.

I am looking forward to Zhang Yi's future fate.

At the same time, the setting of the Golden Gate Group in the movie is also refreshing.

It is no longer a level setting similar to industry jargon such as "double-flowered red sticks", "white paper fan", "dragon head" in traditional Hong Kong movies, but a very formal modern organization with president, directors, secretary, etc.

Members also address each other by their positions first, rather than using nicknames like "Big B", "Foreskin", "Pheasant", or "Cannon".

It looks very formal and has a high-end feel.

At the beginning, Sun Yi had a blind spot in knowledge here.

Because the original work was a Korean movie, when he adapted it, he thought that titles like director and president were not commonly used here, so he wanted to use terms like manager and general manager.

But later on, no matter how I thought about it, I felt something was wrong.

Think about it, if it was called this, the line would be, "Manager Li, it really wasn't me. You have to believe me. I have been with the general manager for so many years. How could I possibly collude with the police?"

Damn, that’s so low.

A bunch of insurance salesmen are in collusion with the police. Do they need to have some shame?
Sun Yi himself couldn't accept it. Later, after some investigation, he found out that there were directors and presidents here as well, but they were not formal companies. Instead, they were mostly used for non-governmental organizations, such as student unions. Moreover, many non-governmental organizations in Hong Kong also use this title.

Therefore, he directly set up several levels such as president, vice president, executive director, and director for the Kinmen Group.

Looking at it now, combined with the uniform suits of the group members in the picture and the logo, the effect is surprisingly good, with a kind of inexplicable coolness.
