I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 130 Premiere

The premiere of "The Promise" was grand and unique at the same time.

Compared with the premiere of "House of Flying Daggers", the premiere of "The Promise" is, it has everything that the premiere of "House of Flying Daggers" has, and it also has what the premiere of "House of Flying Daggers" doesn't have!
The premiere of "The Promise" was luxurious and lively, and its timing was also very generous - the premiere actually took place in one day.

In the morning, Chen Kaige and the crew came to interact with many fans and also answered interviews from some journalists.

It was unique because there were hundreds of actors in armor standing on both sides of the red carpet!
In the evening, Wan Qingshan came to the premiere of "The Promise". Wan Qingshan was dressed up so many reporters raised their cameras to take pictures, and they were filled with surprise.

Wearing a black down jacket and a warm hat, Wan Qingshan looked like an ordinary passerby going out for a stroll, not at all like a celebrity who came to attend a premiere.

Wan Qingshan was stunned for a moment when he saw hundreds of actors in armor on both sides of the red carpet. Then he saw the big poster in front of the CPPCC - 'Oscar-winner!' ', these huge fonts.

"If you want to say who is the best in the industry, Poet Chen is definitely the first!" Wan Qingshan muttered in surprise, and under the guidance of the staff, he walked to the lounge at the back.

As soon as Wan Qingshan entered the lounge, many celebrities in the lounge looked at Wan Qingshan's outfit in surprise.

"Wan Dao!"

Wan Qingshan held it gently, and could vaguely see Chen Hong's beautiful face when he was young.

"Producer Chen!" Wan Qingshan hesitated and called with a smile.

For a moment, Wan Qingshan didn't know what to call Chen Hong, Mrs. Chen, and he seemed to look down on her. Calling her Miss Chen was even more inappropriate. Finally, Wan Qingshan thought that she was also the producer of "The Promise".

Chen Hong's eyes lit up, and the polite smile on his face became much more friendly.

"Director Wan, thank you for coming to support me."

"Haha, of course I have to watch Director Chen's movies. When I was studying at Nortel, the teacher often explained Director Chen's "The King of Children" and "Farewell My Concubine". I am full of expectations for Director Chen's new work."

Chen Hongfeng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Director Wan, I heard that your "Heart" and "Selection" are not only used by teachers from the Nortel Performance Department for lectures, but also often used by the Chinese Theater Company. lecture.

China Theater and Nortel are dissatisfied with each other. Director Wan, you graduated from Nortel, but the movie you acted in was actually used by China Theater for lectures. You have convinced China Theater. "

"Producer Chen, don't say that, or the people in the film will cause trouble for me."

,,,,
Afterwards, Chen Hong kept praising Wan Qingshan, without even saying a few words of polite praise and letting Wan Qingshan go.Even when some celebrities came into the lounge, she went up to greet them politely and kept chatting with Wan Qingshan.

This made Wan Qingshan, while dealing with Chen Hong, confused and wondering why Chen Hong was so enthusiastic towards him.

After a while, Han Sanping came in. Chen Hong stopped chatting with Wan Qingshan and faced Han Sanping.

Wan Qingshan glanced around and found that almost everyone was whispering to each other, then he walked towards Zeng Li and Liu Ye.

As soon as Wan Qingshan came over and sat down aside, Liu Ye couldn't help but smile and asked,
"Director Wan Da, you have just finished shopping for groceries and you are wearing this outfit."

"I'm not like you, I can only make a living by acting. I'm a director, why do I care so much about my image.

Besides, this isn't the premiere of my movie. It's so cold outside. I'm a fool to dress like you. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Qingshan turned to Liu Ye and asked in a low voice, "Hey, where is Director Chen? He is the master, why don't you see him?"

When Wan Qingshan first entered the lounge, he felt strange that Chen Kaige was not there!
"Uh,, uh," Liu Ye looked confused and didn't know what to say.

Wan Qingshan's eyes lit up, what happened? "Stop it, tell me, are you still worried about me talking nonsense?"

"I'm not worried about you talking nonsense, it's just that I don't know how to say this at the moment."

"Just say it like it is!"

Seeing that Liu Ye was still hesitant, Wan Qingshan was about to urge him - "Director Wan, Director Chen just cried, so he went to other rooms to sort out his emotions!"

Wan Qingshan immediately looked at Zeng Li, who was wearing heavy makeup, a small cotton shoulder, and a red dress underneath!
"You're crying, tell me what's going on?" Wan Qingshan asked excitedly.

Zeng Li glanced at Liu Ye, turned around, leaned forward, and whispered, "I also heard what Liu Ye said. Just now, a group of movie fans sent Director Chen a banner, and the content of the banner was to wish the movie won the Oscar. "

Wan Qingshan suddenly lost his excitement, and there was a trace of disappointment in his eyes. He thought it was something.

A banner actually made Chen Kaige cry, and Wan Qingshan somewhat understood.

Older generation directors such as Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou all have Oscar plots.Zhang Yimou's subsequent film "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" can be said to be shot for the Oscar.At this time Han Sanping came over and said, "Qingshan!"

"Director Han!" Wan Qingshan stood up and said.

"Come on, let's change places. I have something I want to talk to you about."

Wan Qingshan and Han Sanping walked out of the lounge and came to an empty office.

After Han Sanping sat down, he asked with a smile, "Qingshan, haha, when I was doing "The True Meaning of Love", I asked you if you were responsible for the things on the Internet, but you told me no."

Wan Qingshan rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Director Han, I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it. At that time, promoting movies online was my company's business secret."

"Don't explain, I'm not looking for you because of this."

Immediately, Han Sanping's expression changed, and he looked directly into Wan Qingshan's eyes with sharp eyes.

"Qingshan, I want to ask you. You are the first person to promote a movie online. You have rich experience. Please tell me who you think is responsible for the online promotion of "The Great Sage"!"

Wan Qingshan's thoughts were racing. When he mentioned the promotion of "The True Meaning of Love" from Han Sanping, he thought that Han Sanping must have come to promote two movies online.

"The Promise" has several investors, China Film Group Corporation is one of them. The matter of "The Promise" is China Film Group's business.

And even if China Film is not an investor, Han Sanping will still side with "The Promise". He is bent on expanding the film market with blockbusters.

In recent years, there have been more and more high-grossing movies in the movie market, but there has never been a movie that has surpassed "Hero" at the box office.

Breaking the box office record of "Hero" means that the mainland film market has a potential of more than 2 million. This is also a political achievement for Han Sanping!
"The Promise" is the movie most likely to break the box office record of "Hero". Now that something happened to "The Promise", Han Sanping must be furious.

"Director Han, how do I know this? I don't even know whether the person who spoke online is a man or a woman!
Han Sanping, who didn't understand the Internet, immediately frowned. After a moment of silence, he stood up and said, "Since you don't know, forget it. Qingshan, let's go. The premiere is probably about to start."

After Wan Qingshan and Han Sanping returned to the lounge, they saw Chen Kaige with a smile on his face.

After Han Sanping's introduction, Wan Qingshan congratulated Chen Kaige. Chen Kaige seemed to be very familiar with Wan Qingshan and praised the filming of "Heart" and "Selection". Then - he talked about Chen Yangong!
Only then did Wan Qingshan know that Chen Yangong and Chen Kaige were old acquaintances. They both graduated from Nortel. Although they were not in the same class, they had known each other since they were in Nortel.

A question suddenly popped up in Wan Qingshan's mind. When Chen Yangong asked someone to help him submit "Selection" to the Berlin Film Festival, why didn't he find Chen Kaige?

There was no time for Wan Qingshan to think too much, the premiere of "The Promise" began.

Because there were actors in armor standing on both sides of the red carpet, reporters could only take photos behind the extras. However, hundreds of extras were so densely packed that reporters couldn't take a few photos at all.

There was no flash, and no reporters came to interview. Wanqingshan immediately felt that this was the most relaxing premiere.

"The Promise" was called a movie that even ten years later would not be able to understand. Wan Qingshan didn't care at first, but as he watched, he became more and more fascinated.

Of course he was not fascinated by the plot of the movie, he was fascinated by the structure and color of the movie screen!
In his previous life, Wan Qingshan did not go through systematic study. He watched some edited clips of "The Promise" on the Internet and found that he didn't feel anything.

After four years of systematic study at Nortel, Wan Qingshan discovered that the picture structure and color of "The Promise" are definitely among the best among domestic directors.

After the movie was played, Wan Qingshan sighed in his heart, "He is indeed a poet Chen who is full of literati atmosphere!"

The plot of the movie is too messy, but the structure of the picture is really great. At the same time, the color of the picture is very delicate, coupled with the messy plot, it gives people a poetic feeling.

Later, during the interview on stage, Wan Qingshan didn't listen much at all. He was thinking that the movies of Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou seemed to have something in common, that every frame of the movie was like a Chinese painting.

The premiere process of "The Promise" is different from that of ordinary movie premieres. After the movie, Chen Kaige and the crew came on stage. After each talked about their feelings about filming, they then accepted questions from fans and were not allowed to attend the premiere at all. Artist comments from the screening.

Fans who came to attend the premiere basically came for Chen Kaige. Although they could not understand the movie, under psychological suggestion, they only felt that they were not thinking clearly, not that it was a problem with the movie.

Therefore, the questions asked by fans are basically asking Chen Kaige and others about their predictions for the box office and awards of "The Promise"!
When faced with the box office forecast, Chen Kaige said proudly, "I want to say eight words, that is: Han Xingbing, the more the merrier."

When faced with the prediction of the awards, before Chen Kaige could speak, Chen Hong said, "The Promise not only wants to compete for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, but also wants to win individual awards."

Liu Ye and the others are very honest and don't dare to speak loudly!

After about half an hour, fans finished asking questions and the premiere ended.
