Chapter 93 Premiere of "Xiu Chun Knife" (Please subscribe!)
  The media underestimated the potential of Liu Yifei's debut album "Phi".

Because within a week of its release, the album had already sold over 100,000 copies.

According to online word-of-mouth and daily sales trends, I can’t say that this album will break 300,000 in the first month, but it is expected to reach 250,000.

……

On February 2, the premiere of "Xiu Chun Knife" was held in the capital.

Many film and television company bosses, directors, agents, star actors and actresses came to the scene...

During the interview, Chen Dong was asked about the online conflict he had with director Wang Jing some time ago. He bluntly said that he had no conflict with the other party and that he just accidentally slipped.

"Director Chen, Director Wang Jing commented that the actors you used in "Those Years" had no acting skills. What do you think?"

Seeing that the reporter was insisting on the issue between him and Wang Jing, Chen Dong was not angry and answered patiently:

""Those Years" is originally a youth campus movie, and it does not have high requirements for the actors' acting skills..."

"So what does Director Chen think of Director Wang Jing's "Secrets of the Wild" that is currently being released?"

"Watching it online... Haha, I mean, I haven't gone to the cinema to watch this movie. I just saw some reviews and reports when I was browsing the news online, but there didn't seem to be many praises."

"So Director Chen thinks this movie is not worth paying to go to the cinema?"

"I didn't mean that, and you reporters shouldn't write anything random..."

This was just a small episode, and the topic was brought back to "Xiu Chun Knife" by Chen Dong.

Asked about expectations for the box office...

Chen Dong did not follow director Chen Kaige's saying that the more the merrier, but instead provided reporters with a breaking point.

"Set a small goal first, for example, 100 million!"

When he stepped down, Han Shanping joked: "Young people are still brave, and 100 million is just a small goal."

"Haha, Director Han made fun of me. I didn't do it just to give media reporters a gimmick so that they can help promote the movie."

Wang Changtian also came over: "No matter what purpose Director Chen has, I predict that your little goal will become popular again."

"Oh, if I had known better if I hadn't said anything, I would have been ridiculed by netizens for a long time."

Chen Dong was a little annoyed, why did he blurt it out just now?

He glanced at Miss Liu next to him. Well, he was probably infected by her.

At this time, Cai Yinong also walked towards them.

She also brought a girl with her.

This girl is somewhat similar to Miss Liu.

When Cai Yinong met Chen Dong, he first teased him about the small goal he had just mentioned in the interview, and then took little Liu Yifei, oh no, Liu Sisi's hand and introduced her to Chen Dong.

"Director Chen, her name is Liu Sisi. She is a newcomer who is highly praised by the Tang Dynasty. If there is a suitable opportunity for Director Chen's future movies, please give our Sisi a chance."

"Haha, Mr. Cai said hello in person, so of course there is no problem."

Chen Dong is very polite. Regardless of whether we all have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, at least he has to give face at this moment.

At this premiere, not only Cai Yinong brought Liu Sisi, but Lu Zheng also brought Jingtian.

"Director Chen, you are so charming!"

"Haha, many people have already made fun of me, Mr. Lu, please stop laughing."

"I'm not teasing, but I really think Director Chen is very handsome." With that said, Lu Zheng introduced Jingtian to Chen Dong. Compared with Liu Sisi's inner show just now, the Jingtian in front of him was much more confident.

In addition, she and Miss Liu also have similarities, but it's not their appearance, but their temperament.

The temperament of a wealthy daughter is even more vividly reflected in this person.

"Hello, Director Chen, I'm Jingtian, and I'm your fan."

The girl smiled, revealing two shallow dimples, and stretched out her arms as white as lotus roots.

"Hello Miss Jingtian, I've heard Mr. Lu talk about you a long time ago." Chen Dong also stretched out his hand and gave her a virtual shake.

It was getting closer and closer to the movie show time, and everyone stopped socializing. Instead, they found their seats and sat down one after another.

Before the lights in the venue dimmed, Jingtian's eyes swept over Chen Dong and Liu Yifei from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Perhaps sensing something, Miss Liu looked back and met Jingtian's eyes.

She was deeply impressed by this girl with a sweet smile, even more so than the little Liu Yifei sitting next to Mr. Cai.

She didn't know why, but she seemed to be a little wary of her for no reason.

Seeing the girl look away, she also withdrew her gaze, but instead turned it to Chen Dong.

"What's wrong?" Chen Dong asked.

Liu Yifei just looked at him and didn't answer.

Soon the lights in the venue dimmed. When the light from the screen in front illuminated the young lady's face, Chen Dong discovered that she had turned her head.

It’s a bit baffling!
  Among the guests who came to the scene, in addition to coming for socializing and face, there were also people who simply wanted to see what the martial arts movies made by Chen Dong were like, such as director Xu Ke.

As the plot of "Xiu Chun Knife" slowly unfolds, director Xu Ke's eyes become brighter and brighter.

'It turns out that martial arts movies can be shot like this! '

Halfway through the movie, Director Xu Ke turned his attention to the young director who didn't look like a director. While he was shocked, he couldn't help but admire him.

At the same time, "Xiu Chun Knife" seemed to have opened a new door for him, and he vaguely felt as if he had 'enlightened'.

Xu Ke was not the only director who came to the scene. Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and even Feng Xiaogang, who Chen Dong had also attended the film premiere of, were also present.

They were also filled with emotions. Although the movie was not over yet, they had already discovered that "Xiu Chun Knife" is very similar to traditional martial arts movies in terms of narrative main line, narrative strategy, character creation, image style, or plot mode. There are huge differences, but the core has not changed. It is still a martial arts movie.

In the eyes of the directors, regardless of whether "Xiu Chun Knife" will be accepted by the market after its release, at least it has distinguished itself from traditional martial arts movies and created a new style and genre. This is already considered a success.

Different groups of people naturally pay different attention...or focus. For example, Liu Sisi and Jing Tian are looking at Zhou Miaotong played by Miss Liu on the screen. Under the filter of the movie, even they are the same. The women all think that the other person is breathtakingly beautiful, so how can he not be admired.

Less than two hours after the premiere, relevant news appeared online——

"Director Chen Dong's box office expectation for "Xiu Chun Knife" is a 'small target'."

"Shocked! In Director Chen Dong's eyes, 100 million is just a small goal."

"At the premiere of "Xiu Chun Knife" today, when Director Chen Dong was asked about the movie's box office, he said, 'Set a small goal first, say 100 million.'"

"The fairy sister Liu Yifei and director Chen Dong collaborated for the first time. The character Zhou Miaotong played by Liu Yifei in the film is incredibly beautiful, jpg."

"Director Xu Ke: I didn't expect Director Chen Dong to actually make a martial arts movie that is different from Chuanwu. He is amazing!"

"Director Chen secretly laughed at Wang Jing's film as not worth his money to enter the cinema!"

"The box office of "The Savage Secrets" yesterday was less than 500,000 yuan..."
