This director needs to apologize

Chapter 162 Premiere Membership
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Chen Yiming took a taxi to the Olympic Center in the Imperial Capital, where the premiere of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" was held.

From outside the car, through the car window, you can see the wide and long red carpet at the entrance of the venue in the distance, flanked by media and densely packed fans on both sides.

Mr. Han had given Chen Yiming his mobile phone number before, saying that he would call him directly when he arrived.

Chen Yiming felt that there was really no need to disturb his host in such a busy day, so after paying the fare, he strolled over by himself.

Today he specially wore a suit, but without a tie. His leisurely look did not have the aura of a red carpet star, so after joining the crowd, he did not attract any attention.

I don’t know how many celebrities Mr. Han has mobilized to support him tonight. Chen Yiming stood in the crowd at the end of the red carpet and saw an endless stream of celebrities dressed up in costumes. There was no empty space on the red carpet.

After observing for a while, Chen Yiming concluded the general pattern. They should be arranged according to seniority and age. The people on the red carpet now are all young actors about his age.

After waiting for a while, Chen Yiming seized the opportunity and followed Hang Xiaoming onto the red carpet.

Hang Xiaoming is Yang Zuoxue's senior and is a leader among the new generation of young students in China. He has acted in many high-rated TV series and is currently in the stage of becoming a leading actor in movies.

Although he is said to be a junior, he is actually seven years older than Chen Yiming, and he is already at the age of four.

The reason why Chen Yiming followed him was because he judged that from him onwards, it would be Wan'er and Jiao'er who would be on the red carpet. He was one of those who liked the crowd and there was no need to steal others' limelight.

As soon as he stepped onto the red carpet, Chen Yiming was immediately recognized, and the fans and media on both sides immediately shifted their focus.

"Chen Yiming, look here", "Yiming, here", the shouts one after another brought the already heated atmosphere to a new level.

Hang Xiaoming, who was walking in the front, certainly noticed the abnormality behind him. He stopped and moved to one side. After Chen Yiming caught up, he stretched out his hand with a smile.

Chen Yiming stretched out his hand to shake his hand. Hang Xiaoming let go and turned around, naturally walking side by side with Chen Yiming.

While smiling and waving to the excited crowd on both sides, he whispered to Chen Yiming.

"Thank you, Director Chen. My name is Hang Xiaoming. There are a lot of teachers here today. I will take you to see Director Han later."

Naturally, Chen Yiming could only say thank you for this thoughtfulness.

I have always heard that Hang Xiaoming is popular and good at conduct, and now that I have met and dealt with him in person, I know that the rumors are true.

Take a look at other people's behavior and words. They are neither presumptuous nor friendly, and their goodwill will make you feel like spring breeze.

The two walked the long red carpet at a slightly faster pace than normal, and naturally many photos of the two having "intimate conversations" were taken along the way.

Chen Yiming estimates that starting from today, he will have one more "friend in the circle".

After walking through the hall and entering the auditorium, Chen Yiming found that there was nothing new and unusual inside. There was a banner above his head and ribbons hanging on both sides, which was the layout of a normal theater premiere.

There were guest name tags on the backs of the seats in the front rows, but now there were only a few people sitting there, and most of them were standing and chatting.

Chen Yiming and Hang Xiaoming found a corner to stand in a tacit understanding. Of course Han San was not present. As the chief director, he knew that he would be the finale of the red carpet show.

Brother Xiaoming had "taken care" of him very well along the way, but now he kicked him and sat down directly. That would be too ugly. Chen Yiming couldn't do such a thing.

More and more guests came in, and many smart ones took the opportunity to say hello to Hang Xiaoming and joined Chen Yiming's topic circle. They were basically Hang Xiaoming's alumni and actors from the same company.

While Chen Yiming was casually responding to other people's compliments and greetings, he focused his attention on observing the situation in the field.

At this time, most of the guests had entered the venue, except for a few maverick directors, such as Chen Huaikai, Wu Kesen, and Wang Xiaogang. They sat calmly in their seats, while the other seats were still empty.

The standing guests can be roughly divided into three circles. One is the Hong Kong celebrities headed by Tony Leung. This circle has the fewest people.

One is the senior mainland actors headed by Shen Ming, and there are more people in this circle.

The last one was the young actors surrounding Chen Yiming. Due to the phenomenon of human-to-human transmission, there were more than just a few people there. There were more than a dozen people in total, filling this corner.

Chen Yiming felt a little regretful. He should have sat in if he had known earlier.

Fortunately, the red carpet show ended in time, and Mr. Han walked in together with two historical protagonists, Tang Guoqiang and Zhang Guoqi.

As the host, Han San of course had to patrol the venue. Maybe they saw the crowd at Chen Yiming's side, so the three of them went straight to this corner first.

"Hahaha, Guoqiang, Guoqi, come and meet our billionaire director. Why didn't you call me and came in by yourself? I'm afraid the boss will say that I'm neglecting our distinguished guests."

Chen Yiming quickly cooperated and acted shy, "Teacher Tang, Teacher Zhang, hello, this is the first time we meet. I am Chen Yiming.

Uncle Han, you are treating me poorly. I am a junior, so I don’t need to be treated by this master. I don’t know that Brother Ming plays well with me. "

Reaching out his hand to lead Hang Xiaoming in front of him, Chen Yiming returned the "favor" on the red carpet.

Han San and Hang Xiaoming exchanged brief greetings, and then faced the other young actors. It was the standard imperial film leader's ascendant mode. Everyone looked at each other with a smile, treating everyone equally and impartially.

At the end of the ceremony, Han San directly took Chen Yiming away and changed the honor guard behind him from two to three.

Thanks to this convenience, Chen Yiming got to hang out with big names such as Tony Leung and Shen Ming, and he also shook hands with the three big directors who were already seated.

After the tour, the guests took their seats, the media and fans entered, and at 8 o'clock, the premiere officially began.

To be honest, the experience of sitting in the audience and being a guest with nothing to do is not bad.

The process of the premiere was the same as Han San's tour just now, with a layered atmosphere.First, the chief director Han Sanye gave a speech, and then the other executive directors of the directing team took the stage. Under the leadership of Han San, they made a collective [-]-degree bow.

What he said was very clear. The success of the film depends on the efforts of all the actors and behind the scenes. This bow is not only a thank you to all those involved, but also an apology to the actors whose scenes were cut.

Then Tang and Zhang led the main actors onto the stage to chat about the highlights, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Then Shen Ming and Liang Weihui led the guest stars to the stage, pretending to be handsome and cool, and murdering the film.

When Hang Xiaoming and other young actors came up, their salary was reduced one notch and they needed to perform, so Xiaoming acted out his part live.

A dozen young actors each performed a part, and it was almost 9 o'clock.

Finally, we reached the last part, standing up to sing the national anthem.

At this time, Chen Yiming had completely lost interest in watching movies. He was extremely lucky that "1951" had its premiere in Cannes, saving him the trouble of going to China.

The movie itself is shot very smoothly, and the performances are not distracting, except for the occasional appearance of celebrity faces that interrupt the rhythm.

This is also the inherent disadvantage of the platter movie. The actors all have their own careers. If you pursue all-stars, there will inevitably be a problem that the actors and the characters are not suitable enough.

Chen Yiming feels that Mr. Han is on the right track. This movie may have a mediocre reputation, but it should not be bad at the box office. At 30 yuan, just sitting and counting the stars is worth the ticket price.

At the end of the screening, the lights came on and there was thunderous applause.

As a fixed process, the host naturally asks several directors present to comment (CHUI) and price (PENG) the movie.

Chen Yiming knew that this was the main purpose of Mr. Han inviting him over.

But this movie is indeed pretty good, and Chen Yiming is not ashamed to brag about it.

“This is a subject that I would not dare to think about within 20 years, and I have no idea how to start.

The span is so big, there are so many characters, and the plot is so complicated, but it is arranged by the Korean director in such a way that the clues are clear and detailed. It is a testament to his skill.

I came here today and learned a lot, which I admire very much. "

Chen Yiming showed off his attitude as a junior director and made Mr. Han beam with praise.

Just imagining the headlines in the media tomorrow made him grin from ear to ear.

"The director of 10 Billion admitted that he felt ashamed and would shy away from "The Founding of the People's Republic" for 20 years."

The next day was the National Day holiday, "1951" was officially released, and "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" took over.

Of course, the latter also needs a road show, and Mr. Han's handiwork is much greater than that of Chen Yiming.

"1951" was just a movie where the main creators went to theaters, while "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" held a premiere wherever they went.

According to Ma Erye, Han San's goal is to reach at least 1951% of the box office of "[-]". He must not be doubled by the gift film led by Mo Ying, otherwise he will lose face as the boss of the imperial movie.

But these have nothing to do with Chen Yiming, he can finally start taking a vacation.

He first went back to his hometown for a week, and when his mother's attitude towards him changed from being irritating to being disgusted with others, he wisely evacuated his hometown and returned to the imperial capital.

This time he took advantage of the National Day holiday to go to the Directors Guild and the Film Society to apply for membership.

Mr. Ma Erye had already helped him build the ladder. He spent two days visiting several chairmen and vice-chairmen one by one. He had completed the procedure and was an organized person from now on.

The current chairman of the Guidance Association is Chen Huaikai, and the current chairman of the association is Shen Ming. They are both "acquaintances" who have met two days ago, so the process went very smoothly.

After finishing the matter, Chen Yiming returned to the Magic City. The next task was to look at the house.

Only then did Chen Yiming have time to take inventory of his private treasury.

After traveling through time, Chen Yiming "inherited" a deposit of about 15 from his predecessor.

He used the money to buy a laptop, buy some formal suits, and pay another year's rent. Now he still has 6 yuan left.

Then he reopened an account and linked Bojue's salary card to the new account, which was a fresh start.

As the company's CEO and creative director, Chen Yiming can receive double monthly salaries. However, he and Da Zhuang are the only two shareholders of the company. This kind of company structure is obviously more profitable for dividends, so the salaries they offer themselves are not high.

In more than a year, Chen Yiming's salary was only a little over 1, which was obviously not enough to buy a house.

Of course, he has been working hard in the past year, and all expenses were paid from the crew or the company, so the money on his salary card has basically remained untouched.

As for dividends, which account for the bulk of revenue, unfortunately, the revenue from "Holiday in Magic City" has not been fully accounted for during the Spring Festival this year. In addition, the money on the company's account must be invested in "1951" first, and the result is that there is no dividend at all.

In addition to the company's income, Chen Yiming also has two main creative salaries as the director and screenwriter of two movies.

The salary for "Holiday" was 10 yuan, and the salary for "1951" was 300 million yuan. After withholding taxes, Platinum Jue recorded less than 200 million yuan in total.

Now his entire net worth is this 260 million Chinese national currency. According to the current average house price in the Magic City area, if the loan limit is used up, he can probably buy a three-bedroom apartment with less than 130 square meters.
