"Brother Taozi, you said you can't do anything well and you can't even get the invitation letter for the premiere." Chen Bing said angrily.

Hey, are you giving me back the CPU? Kan Tao immediately retorted, "I didn't ask for it, but what about you? What about you?"

Chen Bing said bluntly, "I am just a gangster at Daydream Pictures. Of course I can't get an invitation."

Being so confident, Kan Tao didn't know what to say for a moment.

Because Kan Tao has already filmed two TV series, "Nirvana in Fire" and "Empire of the Qin Dynasty" at Daydream Pictures, and is already preparing a third film, while Chen Bing is still serving as the deputy director, the status of the two is indeed different.

Neither of them was in a happy mood because they didn't make it to the premiere in the afternoon where the creative team including Huang Baiyou, Li Menglu, and Yuan Xiangshi attended.

I just found a movie theater nearby to watch it. It was a bit strange for two men to watch a movie together, so I called my friend Hai Zhen.

It's not surprising that there are three men together.

Hai Zhen is one of the leading actors of Enlight Media, and played the role of Ying Si in Kan Tao's "The Qin Empire".

Because Hai Zhen is very passionate about acting, Kan Tao admires him very much and they became friends as soon as they came and went.

"What preparations have you made?" Hai Zhen suddenly asked before entering the cinema.

"Prepare?"

Kan Tao and Chen Bing were stunned, wondering what else they needed to prepare for watching the movie.

"Why don't you learn about the Peking Opera "Farewell My Concubine" in advance, and then understand the character prototypes?" Hai Zhen said.

"Well, it's enough to have a basic understanding, nothing else is necessary." Kan Tao said.

"Farewell My Concubine is probably not a movie with such a high threshold for Chinese people to watch," Chen Bing said. "Recently, I seem to have seen news from the Global Times, and many bloggers on YouTube have released popular science videos."

The "Global Times" must have picked a good story, but in fact, only seven or eight bloggers were reported, which seemed to be a large-scale act.

Having said that, it is difficult for ordinary domestic movies to get a lot of buzz when they are released abroad, let alone foreign bloggers to check the information for popular science.

Bloggers make videos out of "profit" considerations. If not enough netizens pay attention, they will do it. The side reflects that the popularity of "Farewell My Concubine" is really exaggerated!

"It's not about the threshold for watching movies, but knowing these things, you can better understand Brother Thirteen's performance." Hai Zhen said.

Chen Bing said, "Okay, it's normal. I almost forgot that you are a die-hard fan of the boss."

"Dazhen, you admire Brother Thirteen so much, why don't you jump to our company?" Kan Tao said, "You can have at least two opportunities to communicate with Brother Thirteen that year."

Hai Zhen was moved - but in the end he shook his head, "My agent said that staying with the Rays is the best benefit for me at the moment."

As soon as these words came out, Kan Tao and Chen Bing stopped talking. They both knew that Hai Zhen's manager was his wife. The two of them looked at each other and immediately changed the subject by cooperating with each other.

The three of them, chatting and laughing, arrived at the cinema and had to wait for more than ten minutes.

"Isn't it 3D?"

"Brother Thirteen seems not to have appeared in the 3D film."

"'John Wick' is 3D."

"The same goes for "The Dark Knight". The most expensive ticket price at that time was 98 per ticket. It hurt my wallet."

…

After checking the tickets, the three of them entered Cinema 6——

Chen Bing found that the attendance rate was quite good, above 70%. If we think about the theater's film schedule carefully, the box office would explode.

Most of the audience was attentive——

["If you want to be distinguished in front of others, you must suffer behind others. Today is a broken topic, the article is still to come!"

"How did they become a corner? How many beatings did they have to take? When can I become a corner?"

"Men are afraid of "Night Run", and women are afraid of "Sifan"."

"I am the fake overlord, and you are the real Yu Ji."

...]

The whole film is nearly three hours long, and after watching it, it feels like you have experienced an era.

The charm of the video!

It's like watching Dostoyevsky's "The Idiot". It takes a few days to recover. A good work must have strong thoughts and content.

"Farewell My Concubine" is definitely not comparable to "Idiot", but in the movie, the epic feeling is overwhelming.

When watching a movie in an ordinary cinema, it is impossible to stand up and applaud after the movie is over, because this behavior is unrealistic.

But when the credits of the movie rolled, the theater erupted with a "buzzing" roar, and the atmosphere of discussion was lively.

"No wonder Bai Di can get full votes for three rounds, what an exaggerated acting!"

"It's amazing. In my mind, this movie is the top one among domestic movies."

"Li Menglu, Dong Gong, Yuan Xiangshi, including those child actors are all wonderful and star-studded, but Huang Baiyou is the sun."

"What a pity the ending, Yu Ji committed suicide."

Wait, there are a lot of good reviews, praising the movie and Huang Baiyou's performance.

Hai Zhen, Kan Tao, and Chen Bing also walked out of the cinema contentedly, with happy expressions but heavy hearts.

A happy expression is a very superficial emotion, because watching a wonderful movie is like eating a delicious meal. The heavy heart is the ending of the characters in the movie. Cheng Dieyi, who cannot live without going crazy, and Juxian, who hangs himself, make people feel like they are stuck in their throats.

"Whenever I can direct such a work, I will have no regrets in my career as a director." Kan Tao sighed, "The picture, scheduling, and plot are perfectly integrated into one, a masterpiece!"

Kan Tao thought that his expression might not be clear enough, and added, "Even if I finish directing, I won't make movies in the future, or the movies I make will be bullshit."

"Brother Taozi, you really want to eat peaches." Chen Bing said, "It's this kind of movie - if the lead actor is not the boss, I doubt it will win the Dragon Award."

"Besides, if you reach the top and then fall again, the pressure will be great." Chen Bing changed the topic, "I don't have such high requirements. As long as my movie can invite the boss to star."

These words resonated with Kan Tao, "As a director, who wouldn't want to hire Thirteenth Brother?"

The conversation between Chen Kan and Chen Kan made Hai Zhen, who is also an actor next to him, sigh with emotion. It seemed to be the consensus of the domestic film and television circles - being able to invite Huang Baiyou would add color to the work.

Who forged this “consensus”?

Wei Ming? Yu Mo?

Or all the directors who have worked with Huang Baiyou.

"The king is exhausted, how can a humble concubine survive? One sentence tells the story of Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou." Hai Zhen admired Huang Baiyou more and more.

It is difficult to combine human and play, but it is even more difficult to perform a role where the character itself is an artist who combines human and play.

But Huang Baiyou completed it and performed so well that Hai Zhen decided to find an opportunity to play it again.

Afterwards, the trio found a quiet teahouse to have a cup of tea and chat about the movie they just watched.

When we talked about the conflict, there was a tense situation in the private room.

"This story is about two women and a man. The role of the boss is basically a woman. He likes his senior brother Duan Xiaolou."

"I don't agree. Cheng Dieyi loves Overlord. He regards himself as Yu Ji. He can't get out. He can't live without going crazy. This is what Brother Thirteen interprets."

"Stop arguing, give me face, and listen to me. If you think like this, you are taking the script one-sidedly. It is true that Cheng Dieyi has been castrated since childhood and can't act."

…

Everyone has their own preferences in movie conversations, and the reason for the tense situation is that when talking to others, they often believe that their own preferences are correct and unique.

There are three people in Farewell My Concubine. Hai Zhen, Kan Tao, and Chen Bing all view the film from different perspectives.

Perhaps the only thing they have in common is that "Farewell My Concubine is a good movie, and it is only a matter of time before it explodes in China."

The main owners Huang Baiyou and Yu Mo are not worried at all whether it can become popular. After all, the quality and reputation are there.

Therefore, Yu Mo returned to Hong Kong and appeared on various programs, which gave him a feeling of "returning to his hometown in splendor".
