China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 419 Meeting an acquaintance
Wang Shu did not answer this, but politely replied: "Sister Binbin, long time no see."

Fan Binbin noticed Wang Shu's unfamiliar attitude and his expression became a little unnatural, but soon returned to normal.

She calmly replied with a hint of resentment, "Director Wang, are you unfamiliar with me?"

These words not only express resentment and dissatisfaction, but also imply that the two of them have a very close relationship. Is there any need to keep people at a distance?
Wang Shu smiled and did not respond. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "I heard that you are currently filming a movie directed by Wang Jing?"

In December 2008, Fan Binbin participated in the filming of "Future Police".

This science fiction film is produced by China Film Group, written and directed by Wang Jing, and stars Liu Dehua, Xu Jiao, Fan Binbin and others.

With an investment of 1.5 million, it is considered a big production.

In the original timeline, its box office after release was only 5900 million.

Fan Binbin also knew that Wang Shu was trying to change the subject. Although he felt quite uncomfortable, he still managed to answer, "Yes."

Then he looked at Wang Shu and said, "It's a science fiction film."

"Science fiction?" Wang Shu pretended to be surprised.

Fan Binbin curled his lips and said, "I don't know if they were inspired by you, but now many people want to make science fiction films."

"Is there such a thing?" Wang Shu laughed.

"That's right. I heard that there are quite a few science fiction film and television projects now." Fan Binbin continued.

After that, he added faintly, "Now everyone is saying that you have made a great contribution to our mainland film and television industry. There were not many science fiction works before, but since your science fiction film came out, many science fiction projects have suddenly emerged."

"Let's not talk about the production cost of "Ghost Ship", but "Time Traveler" achieved impressive box office with a small budget."

"In addition, Hollywood science fiction films have been very popular in domestic theaters, which has made many people see the potential of science fiction works."

"So, many people want to replicate the success of Time Traveler."

After that, he smiled proudly, "However, the movie "Future Police" I participated in was a work with an investment of 1.5 million yuan, which can be considered a big production."

"It seems you are quite confident?" Wang Shu teased.

"Of course!" Fan Binbin said confidently, "Wang Jin is directing it, and Liu Dehua is playing the male lead, so it can't be bad."

"Wang Jin," Wang Shu smacked his lips, "He is known as the king of bad movies."

Upon hearing this, Fan Binbin rolled his eyes and said, "What's wrong with having this title?"

"Although he has made a lot of bad movies, there are few people in mainland China who can compare with him in making commercial films."

"Okay, I hope the film will do well after it is released." Wang Shu said with a smile.

Fan Binbin was somewhat dissatisfied when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. He asked, "According to the news report, the movie you directed was nominated for a Golden Globe Award?"

Wang Shu shrugged and said nothing.

"Are you confident that you can win the award?" Fan Binbin asked curiously.

If Wang Shu wins the Golden Globe Award, his status in Hollywood will naturally increase.

In Fan Binbin's eyes, Wang Shu, who won the Golden Globe Award, is more important than Wang Shu, who did not win the award.

Wang Shu smiled and said, "It's just a Golden Globe Award. It doesn't matter if I win it or not. My goal is the Oscar Award."

"Just brag about it, it's an Oscar." Fan Binbin rolled his eyes when he heard that.

She is well aware of how difficult it is for directors from mainland China to win an Oscar, and that it is not just about having an excellent film that can win an award.

Among them, it will be affected by many factors.

There is absolutely no chance that Wang Shu will win the prize.

The Ballon d'Or, maybe.

Wang Shu was not angry. He knew that not only Fan Binbin did not think he could win the award, but many people inside and outside the circle also did not think he could win the award.

Because under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him, a young Chinese director who had just arrived in Hollywood, to win an award.

No one thought it was normal for him to win the award.

If The Wolf of Wall Street hadn't been so timely in early 2009, he wouldn't have thought he had a chance.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. I have things to do here." Wang Shu said.

Fan Binbin nodded, pursed his lips, and then said, "Let's have dinner together when we have time."

"Okay." Wang Shu responded.

Anyway, you are not bound to keep the appointment even if you agree to it, so just accept it first and see what happens later.

Fan Binbin smiled back at Wang Shu and turned away.

After chatting with many familiar people, Wang Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked over and said, "Sister Hong, long time no see, thank you for coming this time."

There were quite a lot of people around, so Chen Hong deliberately kept a certain distance from Wang Shu. With a faint smile on her face, she said, "I was originally in Beijing and had nothing to do. I came last time, so it's natural for me to come this time too."

Wang Shu laughed when he heard this and said, "No matter what, I'm grateful to Sister Hong for coming to support us."

Last time, because China Film Group was Chen Kaige's investor, Chen Hong had reason to come to give him face.

This time, Wang Shu was really given face.

When Chen Hong heard Wang Shu's polite words, a smile appeared on her face.

Wang Shu asked softly, "Isn't Director Chen here?"

Chen Hong had a faint smile on her face from beginning to end. She said, "He is not feeling well. He took medicine and is resting at home."

Wang Shu was speechless after hearing this and couldn't help but complain, "Director Chen was also feeling unwell last time."

"Haha." Chen Hong couldn't help but laugh. She didn't explain, but continued to say seriously, "After taking the medicine and resting for a day or two, it should be fine."

Wang Shu knew that what Chen Hong said was nonsense, and Chen Hong also knew that Wang Shu knew she was talking nonsense.

But it doesn't matter, as long as there is a step to get past.

Everyone inside and outside the industry knows that when "The Promise" was released, Wang Shu and Chen Kaige formed a relationship.

Although two years have passed, given Chen Kaige's arrogant attitude, he will not be able to swallow that humiliation for a long time.

Therefore, it is impossible for Chen Kaige to attend the premiere of the movie directed by Wang Shu.

Chen Hong didn't want to continue this topic, so she changed the subject and said, "I heard that your zombie movie is of very good quality, and I've long wanted to see your first zombie movie in our country, so I came over immediately."

Wang Shu was not surprised to hear this, because "Trip to Taipei" had been screened internally at the Central Film Studio.

What the video looks like, someone will definitely reveal it.

So he smiled and joked: "You don't need to hear that this movie is indeed very good. Sister Hong will not be disappointed."

Although he said this, he was actually quite grateful to Chen Hong.

Because if Chen Hong wanted to watch it, she could go to the cinema instead of coming to the premiere. She was there just to help Wang Shu increase the popularity of "Travel to Taipei".

Chen Hong laughed when she heard this and jokingly asked, "Are you so confident?"

Wang Shu smiled and answered: "You have heard that the shooting is very good, how can I not be confident?"

"Haha." Chen Hong laughed twice, and then said, "You continue working, I'll go in first."

"Okay! I'll entertain you when I'm done." Wang Shu really had something to do at the moment, so he said with a smile.

When Chen Hong heard this, the smile on his face became stronger and he nodded slightly.

Many people around saw Wang Shu chatting with Chen Hong for a few words. Both the media and the guests who came to attend the premiere were all paying attention.

Especially the media, which smells bad and sets up cameras to take pictures.

As we all know, Wang Shu and Chen Kaige had issues.

Now Chen Hong once again dressed up to attend the premiere of "Travel to Taipei" and chatted with Wang Shu with a smile on her face.
This is big news!

Last time, Chen Hong was present because the investor of "Mei Lanfang" was China Film Corporation.

this time
Wang Shu saw that the media reporters around him suddenly seemed to be energized, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Chen Hong's back.

The last time it was because of "Mei Lanfang". After the onlookers learned about it later, they found it understandable.

This time Chen Hong's visit will surely attract a lot of attention and discussion.

With such hype, the popularity of "Trip to Taipei" will rise to a new level again.

It's a pity that Chen Kaige didn't come.

The star-studded red carpet is over, followed by the press conference after the premiere.

This is different from the press conference held during the day, which is more precisely a media meeting.

The current press conference is an event held around the release of "Travel to Taipei".

Just like the press conference of "Time Traveler", the host of this press conference of "Taipei Trip" is still Jing Wei from TVB Channel 6.

Generally, he is invited to host more prestigious press conferences.

After all, he is the host of Yangshi Channel 6. No matter how famous he is, Yangshi Channel 6 is a real name.

Jingwei, wearing a suit and tie, walked onto the stage holding a microphone and said in a clear voice: "Dear guests and media friends, good afternoon. Welcome to the launch of the global premiere of "Travel to Taipei". I am Jingwei, the host of Yangshi-6 Movie Channel."

"As we all know, Director Wang has worked with China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, Enlight Film Group, and Huayi Film Group, invested 3 million yuan, and brought together our excellent production team to bring you China's first zombie movie."

“‘Travel to Taipei’ will be the first Chinese zombie film.”

“What kind of visual feast will it bring us?”

"let us wait and see!"

"Before I raise the curtain, I will introduce today's guests to you."

"The film's investors include Mr. Han Sanping, Chairman of China Film Group, Mr. Ren Zhonglun of Shanghai Film Group, Mr. Wang Changtian of Guangxian Film Group, and Mr. Weng Li, the distributor of China Film Group. As well as"

“They are all very important guests!”

As these words fell, the audience burst into warm applause.

Yangshi host Jing Wei then said: "Next is our film's cast, Mr. Liu Dehua, Ms. Li Binbin, Mr. Jiang Wen, Mr. Zhang Yishan, and Ms. Yang Zi."

"And our little friend Zhang Zifeng."

The audience burst into warm applause again.

Jingwei followed the process and continued, "After introducing all the guests and the creative team, we will watch the clips of the filming of "Travel to Taipei" and relive the memories of the filming. Please look at the big screen."

As Jingwei finished his words, the trailer for the film "Travel to Taipei" appeared on the big screen.

The film is not long, just over five minutes in total.

As the trailer appeared, a lot of laughter broke out at the scene.

It is obviously a zombie movie with a horror theme, but there are so many funny scenes on the set.

If the word about the film's internal screening with rave reviews had not already spread, most people would subconsciously think it was a comedy in disguise of a zombie film.

The five-minute-long clip passed in the blink of an eye, and many people in the audience began to pretend that they were still not satisfied.

They are all experts. Regardless of whether they think the movie is really good after watching the trailer or not at all to their liking, they all express their high praise for it.

Immediately afterwards, the host Jing Wei walked onto the stage and hosted: "Yes, the shooting has passed, but these frozen pictures suddenly brought us back to the scene of the shooting at that time. I think especially those sitting in the audience The creative team will definitely recall the filming at that time. I think there were hardships but also happiness. ”

"Now let's invite them to share with us their feelings about filming 'Travel to Taipei'. We would like to invite Liu Dehua, Li Binbin, and Jiang Wen to the stage. Please come on stage."

Applause rang out from the audience

Liu Dehua, Li Binbin, Jiang Wen and other main creative staff walked onto the stage and began to interact with the host.

The actors who came to attend the premiere were all envious when they looked at the highly anticipated creative actors on the stage.

This movie is not only directed by Wang Shu, but also the pioneering zombie film in mainland China with an investment of 3 million yuan.

For many actors, having the opportunity to star in a big production is a dream come true in their acting career.

Not to mention, it is a pioneering work.

Fan Binbin looked at the people on the stage, his eyes slightly dim.

She was wondering, if she had not left Huayi before, would she have played the leading female role in "Travel to Taipei"?

Fan Binbin did not regret leaving Huayi, but felt that the timing of leaving was wrong.

If she had gotten the opportunity to play the leading female role in "Travel to Taipei" a year or two later, it might have been better for her future development.

On the stage, Wang Shu, as the director of "Travel to Taipei", was the first to express his sincere gratitude to the industry insiders who came to the scene.

After he finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.

Jing Wei, the host of Yangshi6 Channel specially invited by China Film Distribution, said at the right time: "Just now, we asked the director and actors of the crew of "Travel to Taipei" to share with us their feelings about filming "Travel to Taipei". Now, let's start with the screenwriter and director of this film, Wang Shu. Director Wang, please come in."

Facing the many industry insiders and media reporters in the audience, Wang Shu smiled and said, "Today, 'Travel to Taipei' is going to be released. I am personally very happy."

"Many people here are able to gather together for the first time in such a long time. They have never been together like today before."

“It is also a happy thing that we can all gather together today.”

"This movie was made by the whole crew, and we worked together to complete such a movie."

"I am very happy to be here today, and thank you all for your attention to Taipei Trip."

"Thank you."
