Chapter 151 The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows
On December 6, the Beijing premiere of "A World Without Thieves"
"A World Without Thieves" will be held in six ticket warehouse cities For the premiere, Beijing was the first.
In the original time and space, the premiere in Beijing was not held at all.
Because Feng Xiaogang scolded reporters, his relationship with the Beijing media was extremely bad. The media did not report on him and simply stopped doing it.
But this time and space has undergone some changes due to Zhang Chen's involvement.
The first thing to bear the brunt is that "Bigstar" has been suspended, and the media has lost the arrogance and domineering style of the original time and space.
There are not many reporters who want to interview Zhang Chen in the past two days and want him to respond to Lu Chuan's acceptance speech at the Golden Horse Awards.
It means another wave of scolding.
After a scolding battle, they both received a lot of bonuses, so of course they were willing to cause trouble.
But Zhang Chen didn't want to.
Now that there is no new movie to be released, he is too lazy to start another scolding war.
"A World Without Thieves" is the first film co-produced by Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Guoli, which is of great significance.
The two are masters in the film and television fields respectively. They collaborated to create this Taihe People. They are very ambitious and want to make some noise.
This time "A World Without Thieves" pays special attention to it.
In order to build momentum for the movie, a red carpet was specially arranged.
To be honest, this part is quite annoying, but the organizer must like it because it can showcase the stars to the greatest extent and increase popularity.
In the nanny car at the end of the red carpet, Fan Jiuyi confirmed with his assistant again: "Are you sure you got the information correctly?"
The assistant was very sure: "Are you sure? No, there is a fellow of mine in the organizer, and I personally got the first-hand information from him
There are only three candidates registered by Star Entertainment to walk on the red carpet, Director Zhang, Manager Dong and Xu Qing. .”
"Hmm..."
Sister Jiuyi's eyes were full of fighting spirit. Xu Qing, a naughty fox, wanted to steal her home.
I caught up with Zhang Chen quietly.
When he originally knew about the premiere, he was still waiting for Zhang Chen to invite him, but he didn't expect that the other party never called.
After asking around, I found out that I already had a female companion, and it was Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's sudden appearance made her feel a sense of crisis.
This is why she is waiting here specifically. When Zhang Chen and the others walk on the red carpet, she will appear at the right time. When the time comes, the media reports will be overwhelming.
What she wants to achieve is very simple, which is to make the media habitually bind her and Zhang Chen together.
As long as there is Zhang Chen, there will be her Fan Jiuyi.
Suddenly a reminder came from the assistant: "Sister, they are here..."
...
On the other side, Li Lianhua was also whispering to her sister: "Is there any movement over Fan Binbin?"
"Not yet. According to the order of appearance, Director Zhang is eighth. You have to wait for a while~"
Li Lianhua hummed and warned again: "In a moment, Director Zhang will get them there. The only thing you have to do is go over and stop Fan Binbin for me. As long as we start walking on the red carpet, Your mission is completed..."
"Don't worry, sister, I understand."
Sister Jiuyi didn't know that she had been targeted by Li Lianhua. As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind.
In order to establish a relationship with Zhang Chen, Li Lianhua worked hard.
Originally, as the main creator of "A World Without Thieves", she should have walked on the red carpet with Ge You and the others, but she stayed behind just to get involved with Zhang Chen.
"Sister, Zhang Chen is here, I'll go first, take care of yourself and hurry up..."
After Li Xue said that, she opened the door and got out of the car with a 'crash', and went straight to Fan Jiuyi and left in the nanny's car.
At the same time, Fan Jiuyi also saw the car Zhang Chen was riding in.
The black Cadillac transported the guests to the starting point of the red carpet at the rate of one every 3 minutes, where the male and female guests officially entered the red carpet.
The car stopped, Zhang Chen and Dong Jianqiang got out of the car, and then helped Xu Qing, who was wearing a dress. The three of them got out of the car one after another, lined up, and prepared to walk on the red carpet.
Sister Jiuyi saw that the time was right and was about to get out of the car. Suddenly, a figure blocked the car door.
It’s Li Xue.
Fan Jiuyi opened the door, but to no avail, the door was blocked by Li Xue.
"What is she going to do?"
Fan Jiuyi's expression changed drastically. Li Xue was Li Lianhua's man. Although he didn't know why the other party did this, he definitely had no good intentions.
The next second, she knew what the other party was planning.
Outside the car, a beautiful figure slowly walked by and stood next to Zhang Chen.
Li Lianhua!
Li Lianhua turned around and glanced proudly at Fan Jiuyi who was trapped in the car, and then said hello: "Director Zhang~"
"Sister Binbin?"
Zhang Chen was a little surprised, but time did not allow him to ask questions, so the staff urged him.
The time between each wave of guests on the red carpet is strictly calculated.
The four of them started walking on the red carpet.
Li Lianhua was dressed in a beautiful dress, with a smile on her face, and posed for the media next to her from time to time. Standing next to Zhang Chen, she was not inferior to the well-groomed Xu Qing.
Sister Jiuyi had already pushed open the car door forcefully, but it was already too late. Zhang Chen and the others had already started walking on the red carpet. It was obviously too late for her to rush over at this time.
Looking at Li Xue’s successful smile, Sister Jiuyi itched her teeth with anger.
The guests continued, Sister Jiuyi adjusted her facial expression, smiled, and walked onto the red carpet alone.
The red carpet at the premiere is different from the awards ceremony. It is not divided according to the crew. It is okay for her to walk alone.
On the red carpet, the flashbulbs of the media flashed non-stop. The four people were smiling and walking along the red carpet at a leisurely speed.
Usually, guests are not allowed to walk on the red carpet for more than five minutes. If they exceed the time limit, a staff member will come forward to urge them.
Zhang Chen said it was simply impossible.
Five more minutes, even one minute is too long for him.
If he didn't have to take care of the two ladies taking photos, he would probably be gone in twenty seconds at most.
Xu Qing has not appeared in public for a long time. This sudden appearance naturally murdered many films.
The combination of Xingchen Entertainment, Li Binbin and Xu Qing is also quite strange. These four people are not together at all. Some reporters have secretly speculated on the relationship between the four people.
Unfortunately, questions are not allowed on the red carpet.
The four of them quickly walked down the red carpet, and Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Guoli greeted the guests at the door.
"Uncle Feng, Uncle Zhang~"
Zhang Chen was the first to say hello. Although they didn't have much contact with each other in private, they had helped each other in several incidents in a row, and they already had some friendship. Zhang Guoli: "Director Zhang, Manager Dong, thank you for your hard work, Xiaoqing, but I haven't seen you for a long time~"
Feng Xiaogang also said: "I heard that Zhang Chen, you have been here for a long time It’s time to go to Hollywood. It’s just because of me that the premiere has been postponed until now. Uncle, I appreciate your kindness. Xiao Qing can come to support me and I would like to express my gratitude~”
Xu Qing smiled lowly: “Okay, Don't be polite to me..."
She is the princess of Beijing Circle, and she is an old acquaintance with the two people in front of her.
Zhang Chen was also polite: "Uncle Feng is having an affair. This is all as it should be."
He came here today to return the favor. If not for this, he would have flown to Hollywood long ago. Went.
A few people were chatting, and Fan Jiuyi came up from behind.
She did not follow the organizer's pace, so she came up very quickly, which surprised Zhang Guoli and Feng Xiaogang.
"Binbin is here too? Why did he leave alone?"
Zhang Guoli thought there was a mistake in the arrangement, which was no small matter.
"It's nothing, I made the wrong time."
Jiuyi forced a smile, but when she faced Li Lianhua, there were inevitably sparks and lightning in her eyes.
But she concealed it so well that no one else noticed it. Only Zhang Chen looked at Sister Jiuyi and then at Li Lianhua, with thoughtful eyes.
"Okay, everyone, hurry in and let's talk in detail during the reception~"
Seeing that the guests behind him were arriving again, Zhang Guoli immediately greeted everyone to enter.
Behind him, Feng Xiaogang went to greet the newly arrived poet Chen and his wife.
The staff led everyone to their seats. The seat Feng Xiaogang arranged for Zhang Chen was quite forward. In the first row, not far from him were Wang Zhonglei, Ge You and Chen Daoming.
This is very different from the Golden Horse Awards.
He was in the corner during the Golden Horse Awards, but now he sits directly in the front row.
"Director Zhang, I'm fine~"
When Ge You saw Zhang Chen, he immediately stood up to say hello.
"Hello, Uncle Ge~"
Zhang Chen shook hands with him. Ge You had this kind of magic power that made people feel close to him.
"Teacher Chen, Mr. Xiao Wang~"
Chen Daoming also waved to him. Although Zhang Chen liked Chen Daoming very much, Chen always had a sense of aloofness similar to that of an intellectual, which naturally gave people A feeling of inaccessibility.
On the other hand, Wang Zhonglei was very enthusiastic: "Haha, Director Zhang, please sit down~"
At the same time, he asked curiously: "I see you came with Xu Qing just now, how do you know each other?"
Zhang Chen did not hide it either: "I met her through the introduction of our teacher. She is the heroine of my new play..."
Wang Zhonglei's eyes lit up: "Oh, Director Zhang has a new play? Why didn't I hear you talk about it?"
"Well, the project has just been approved."
"What theme? It's still horror. Movie?”
“No, this time it’s suspense.”
When he heard it was suspense, Wang Zhonglei immediately became interested.
"Do you still need funds? We at Huayi can provide it."
Zhang Chen shook his head: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, but the subject matter this time is quite special, and I might not be able to pass the review, so I didn't notify Mr. Wang... "
As he spoke, Zhang Chen briefly explained the plot of "Manslaughter".
Hearing whether it was such a story, the villain or the police chief, Chen Daoming and Ge You both nodded: "In this case, is it really not easy to pass the trial?"
Wang Zhonglei next to him was thinking It's a pity. In his opinion, Zhang Chen just drifted away. After the box office exceeded 100 million, he felt that he was capable and didn't even pay attention to the film censorship system.
But he wouldn't say anything to remind him that Chun Chun was just being a bad person.
However, he never mentioned investment, not even issuance.
You know, he was one of the co-distributors of the previous film "Shark Beach", which had a box office of over 100 million, and Huayi also had a share of the credit.
So in theory, Zhang Chen should have a place in the joint distribution of his new film.
Everyone chatted for a few words, and Zhang Chen looked around.
Before coming here, Dong Jianqiang had popularized science with him, and the domestic entertainment industry basically followed a three-three system.
Looking at it today, it seems that this is really the case.
Why is it called the three-three system? Because there are basically three leading companies.
The three major universities in the film and television industry are China National Theater, Nortel, and Shangxi Theater.
The three major companies in the entertainment industry are Huayi, Xingmei and Rongxinda.
There are three major forces in the Beijing area: Beijing Film Academy, Renyi, and Dadiyuandi.
The three major forces in the film industry: Beijing Circle, Hong Kong Circle, and Northwest Circle.
Strictly speaking, Zhang Chen should be considered from the northwest circle, because he is from the coal province.
The film and television talents in Qin Province and Coal Province are basically classified as the northwest circle, with representative figures such as Zhang Yimou, Section Chief Jia, Zhang Jiayi, Gong Li, Wang Quan'an, and Jiang Wenli.
But they are not really a circle.
The Beijing and Hong Kong circles are called circles because they join groups to keep warm.
Resources within the circle are often exchanged with each other, achieving a certain degree of monopoly.
When things happen, they are always open to the outside world.
This is called a circle.
But the northwest circle is not, it is more of a symbol.
People in the northwest circle themselves do not admit that they are from the northwest circle. The symbols of this northwest circle are given by others.
And people have a conventional view of the Northwest Circle. These people are engaged in art films.
But Zhang Chen is not.
Although Zhang Chen is from the coal province, his works since his debut are all commercial films, which have nothing to do with art.
So he is a different kind.
Therefore, the Beijing circle does not reject him as someone from the Northwest circle.
The real northwest circle is very rejected by the Beijing circle. Look at what Lao Mouzi and Chief Jia have been hacked into.
