Chapter 105: Ending in person
“Boss, at the door in front of me, I feel a little scared and chilly.”
Li Chen couldn’t help laughing. Indeed, it was dark. It's more than half the time, and there is indeed something about that door.
"I feel a little cold too. Will you be unable to get out after going in?"
Yang Siwei and Tang Yan looked at the 'Wuji Gate' more than three meters high standing in front of them. Then, I sighed with emotion one after another.
"Nonsense! It's more than ten degrees below zero today. Is it not cold?"
"But this door is indeed a bit difficult to describe. Do you two look at the red carpet and see if it looks like the road to hell leading to hell?"
< br>“These fans waving flowers crazily on both sides of the red carpet look like possessed ghosts!”
The three of them walked onto the red carpet, waving to the media and fans on both sides, while minding their own business. quipped.
Yang Siwei and Tang Yan laughed out loud: "Boss, your metaphor is too vivid!"
At six o'clock sharp, the Wuji red carpet ceremony officially began.
Han Sanping was the first to walk on the red carpet. As soon as he finished walking, he came to Li Chen's side.
"It's okay today, I'm not late!" Han Sanping said.
Li Chen and the other three actually came here casually and haven't entered the auditorium yet.
Tang Yan, Yang Siwei and Han Sanping said hello and smiled silently beside their boss.
"Director Han, not many people came today. If I had known I wouldn't be here, I would have made the media reporters into a hornet's nest after the premiere!" Li Chen said with a smile.
Besides the main creative team, there really aren’t many big names today.
Lao Mouzi and Jiang Wen are both in Yunnan. Chen Kaige’s aloofness is well-known in the industry.
A few CEOs from film and television companies came, but not many directors from the fifth and sixth generations.
"It's good that you know, I don't want to hear bad words about Wuji today!" Han Sanping said with a tigerish face.
Li Chen nodded and said nothing more.
Following the introduction by the host Wang Han.
Chen Kaige and his wife took the Wuji creative team to the red carpet.
The fans at the scene were completely crazy, waving flowers and posters in their hands like crazy, shouting the name of their idol at the top of their lungs.
"Dongjian!"
"Ting Feng!"
"Bai Zhi!"
Zhang Baizhi is so beautiful and stunning!
It was over ten degrees below zero and she was wearing a black tube top skirt.
Okay, let’s have style rather than temperature, you’ll freeze to death!
Chen Kaige and his wife are like the Yang Husband and his wife on the top of the bright sky.
Together with the guardians on the left and right, the four Dharma Kings joined hands to light up the infinite light that resembled the holy fire of Mingjiao.
"Wuji loves you and all the people around the world who like Wuji" Chen Kaige roared like Pavarotti.
The fans were completely infected. They broke through the barriers of security and staff and came forward to communicate with their idols up close.
Han Sanping was also immersed in this warm atmosphere.
Li Chen quietly took two steps back and said to Yang Sitangyan: "Do you feel like you have joined a cult?"
"Join my divine religion, your magic power is boundless, the leader of the divine religion, you will become a martial artist!!" !”
Yang Siwei and Tang Yan laughed. Anyway, they were cheering, and no one noticed them.
"Boss, you are so bad, but you really look like you." Tang Yan said.
"I feel like I have been brainwashed. Director Chen is a perfect spiritual mentor!" Yang Siwei sighed with emotion.
Then everyone entered the infield together.
The Promise premiere officially begins.
Li Chen sat next to Han Sanping, and Wang Changtian was also there.
Yang Siwei and Tang Yan sat in the back.
The two-hour movie is over.
Yang Siwei and Tang Yan whispered: "Siwei, how do you feel?"
"It feels very hollow. This was shot for 350 million yuan? I think it's not as good as your painting!" Yang Thinking commented.
"I'm not afraid of your joke, I didn't understand." Tang Yan whispered, for fear that others would hear.
"I kind of believe Xing Mei's words now. Let's keep our mouths shut for a while and stop talking nonsense." Yang Siwei said.
"Brother, do you understand what Chen Kaige is shooting here?" Wang Changtian said.
In his opinion, it is ridiculous that this drama can cost 350 million.
Some of the pictures inside reminded him of a game, Super Mario!
"Stop talking, it's rare to be confused." Li Chen replied in a low voice, while Han Sanping was still sitting next to him.
Wang Changtian understands, today’s atmosphere is just one word: fake!
From the beginning of the screening to the end, the applause basically never stopped.
He was a little confused, is it so beautiful?
Han Sanping was completely immersed in Wuji, applauding and laughing at the same time.
"Oh, Old Han, Old Han, I hope you can still laugh after Wuji is released." Li Chen said silently in his heart.
Then the creative team came on stage, each person had a seat, and there was a word behind each seat.
The host starts interacting with everyone.
The first one is director Chen Kaige.
Chen Kaige’s words are obsession.
Chen Kaige, dressed in formal attire, stood up slowly.
“Well, I think I’d better stand up, to show my respect for the fans, thank you everyone.”
“Infatuated is a very good word.”
"In this world, ah, I am obsessed with two things."
"The first thing is that my wife and I shot The Promise together."
"The second thing , Yes, I am infatuated with Chen Hong."
After reciting the poem, Chen Kaige sat down slowly with a smile on his face
"Wow," Wang Han exclaimed.
"Ah" the fans screamed.
No one expected Chen Kaige to be so coquettish. The host's exclamation and the shouts of crazy fans in the audience seemed to be possessed by a demon.
Li Chen had goosebumps all over the floor.
What he admires most about Chen Kaige is that he can embarrass everyone, but he himself doesn't feel it at all or just ignores it.
The premiere has not yet ended, and more than a hundred media outlets from three countries have already begun interviewing guests and audiences.
Tonight's scene can be described in one sentence: the roar of the mountains and the roar of the tsunami.
I’m afraid no one will slap Chen Kaige in the face at this time tonight, certainly not Li Chen.
The premiere ended perfectly.
Chen Kaige and his wife came down from the stage to socialize with the guests.
Li Chen and Wang Changtian wanted to say hello to Chen Kaige and his wife, so they left first.
As a result, the couple walked toward him first. Li Chen prayed that Chen Kaige would never ask him about Wuji.
He really didn’t want to say complimentary words against his conscience.
"Brother, have you figured out how to tell lies with your eyes open?" Wang Changtian joked with a smile.
Li Chen rolled his eyes at this man angrily and said, "Take care of yourself first!"
No less than a dozen media outlets had already gathered around.
They had already interviewed Yang Siwei and Tang Yan just now, but both of them said: The picture is beautiful and quite shocking.
There is nothing else worth exploring.
At this moment, Chen Kaige was finally going to meet Li Chen.
At the Palme d'Or gathering, Wuji will launch an attack on Painted Skin. Who will win the annual box office championship?
They have already thought of the title.
More and more media gathered around, and the main event was finally coming.
Even Han Sanping stopped socializing with other people.
"Director Chen, Sister Hong, I wish you a great box office sale." Li Chen said first.
Chen Hong smiled and said: "Thank you, Director Li and Wang Dong, for coming to support Wuji today."
Wang Changtian nodded and said nothing.
"Director Li, do you think Director Chen's The Promise can surpass Painted Skin at the box office?"
Some reporters can't hold it anymore. There are more than a hundred media outlets, and not everyone is a good boy.
"Director Li, you have also seen The Promise, please comment on it"
The shutter was clicked crazily, and the profile photos of the two generations of Palme d'Or were captured by many media.
Chen Kaige is personable and full of confidence in Wuji.
He smiled and said: "Li Chen, just say a few words."
"Yes, Director Li, please say a few words. Director Chen has already spoken."
"Li Director, do you think Wuji or Ruo Ai are more confident about competing in the Olympics?"
Damn, these damn reporters are asking more and more pointed questions.
Wang Changtian quietly took two steps back and pushed Li Chen into the spotlight.
"Director Wang, you are so unkind, leaving my boss there." Yang Siwei stepped forward and smiled.
"Hahaha, thinking, even if I stand next to him, no one will pay attention to me." Wang Changtian smiled.
Li Chen smiled helplessly: "You just want to see the show between me and Director Chen today, but I won't let you do it!"
"Hahaha" the reporters burst into laughter .
Chen Hong also smiled and said: "Director Li said it well, we can't let our media friends play tricks on us."
The atmosphere is warm.
The reporters' microphones moved closer, almost touching Li Chen's face. Everyone knew that Li Chen was about to speak. "I can't predict the box office. You'd better ask the theaters present today. They have more say."
"After watching The Promise, I still feel, I prefer Farewell My Concubine.”
What is this answer? Everyone thought Li Chen would make sharp comments, but they didn't expect such a sentence.
Even Chen Kaige and his wife did not realize the deeper meaning of Li Chen's words for a while.
While everyone was stunned for a moment or two, Li Chen smiled and said: "Today's protagonists are Director Chen and Wuji. You must not prioritize."
"Tomorrow, The nominations for the Golden Globe Awards are about to be announced, and I would like to wish Director Chen a great success!" Li Chen changed the subject.
Chen Kaige was in a happy mood, and Chen Hong also smiled and said: "Thank you for your kind words."
Li Chen took the opportunity to leave, and the reporters could not let him go easily.
Li Chen asked Yang Siwei to block the reporters, said hello to Han Sanping, and escaped first with Wang Changtian and Tang Yan.
"Brother, if you come to Cat Man to host the competition, you can at least be in the top three!" Wang Changtian laughed.
Li Chen’s answer just now was so witty.
Chen Kaige couldn’t say anything about Farewell My Concubine to belittle Wuji.
At this moment, the media reporters were still unable to react amid the hustle and bustle of Wuji.
But when the movie is released and word-of-mouth is fermented, and you look back at Li Chen's words, you will definitely be able to interpret a thousand meanings.
Li Chen shook his head and smiled, but did not continue the topic.
“I’m really curious now, how bad will The Promise’s box office be?” Wang Changtian said with a smile.
After watching The Promise, he knew in his heart that this drama would have to be paid to his grandma's house, and the box office would probably be up to 100 million.
“Bad? Even if it is not as good as Painted Skin, it will never be too low.”
"How do you say this?" Wang Changtian asked puzzledly.
“Brother, if someone told you that a movie made by Zhang Yimou or me was terrible, would you still watch it?”
“Of course, I would like to watch it too. Look how bad it is!" As soon as Wang Changtian finished speaking, he understood.
Indeed, if someone told him that Wuji was terrible.
Out of curiosity and trust in Chen Kaige’s Golden Palm sign, he would definitely have to see it with his own eyes before he would believe it.
What's more, Wuji has now raised expectations to the fullest and is almost becoming a legend.
After leaving the auditorium, Li Chen was chased out by several reporters and stopped.
Wang Changtian waved to him and withdrew first.
Only Li Chen and Tang Yan were left.
"Director Li, if Love has been released on Hong Kong Island, what do you think?"
"I haven't seen it, so I can't comment. Thank you."
"Tang Yan, are you and Director Li in a relationship?" Tang Yan pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer.
Li Chen protected Tang Yan and finally made his way to the car.
"Boss, I'm afraid the scandal about you and me will be brought out again tomorrow."
Tang Yan smiled and said, just now Li Chen put his arm around her shoulders and rushed out of the reporter to protect her. The encirclement must have been captured a lot.
"Just speculate, just get used to it."
After waiting for a while, Yang Siwei came back.
"Boss, as soon as you show up, the reporters will go crazy as if they were on stimulants." Yang Siwei gasped and laughed.
The next day, the grand premiere of The Promise was reported.
Basically, they were all singing praises. Even Li Chen's words were considered to be the icing on the cake, and he also mentioned Farewell My Concubine.
One sentence praised two films.
However, his sentence "If you love" has not been seen before, so it was suddenly interpreted by reporters as a slap in the face of Chen Kexin and a support for Chen Kaige.
Li Chen was helpless, but he didn’t pay attention.
How can Wuji Ru endure it? Now Wuji and Ruo Ai have completely broken up with each other.
Li Chen's words were a slap in the face to her boyfriend.
Immediately, Li Chen began to connotate to the media.
“If the reputation of love has been confirmed by a large number of movie fans, there are at least one or two people missing.”
“Zhou Xun is the leading actor in two dramas, and one man is too out of place.”
I didn’t mention anyone by name, but everyone on earth knows who they are talking about.
The media and netizens were excited again. The feud between these wives had just subsided when Wu Bing Ru fired another shot.
"Asepsis is like bombarding Li Chen from the air!"
"Skin care fanatic Asepsis is like stirring up trouble again!"
The eye-catching title immediately made the headlines in the entertainment sector .
"Director Li, you can't bear it anymore, that woman is cheating on you again!"
"Director Li, if you continue to bear it, you will become a Ninja Turtle! I look down on you!"
"Boss, is this woman crazy?" Yang Siwei was furious.
"You are really biting your nose and bullying me for not having a wife, right?" Li Chen leaned back in the chair and felt a little angry.
"Boss, let me handle it!"
"No, this time, I will do it myself!"
Yang Siwei said in relief: "We can't spoil her. I’ll go out first, boss.”
As soon as he went out, Yang Siwei received a call from Liu Yifei.
"Sisi, do you think I should speak out?" Liu Yifei said with some trepidation.
Yang Siwei laughed out loud: "What? The boss lady can't help but say something?"
"No, last time Li Chen joked that he envied someone for having a good wife, and I didn't either I don’t know if he cares in his heart." Liu Yifei hesitated.
"Yifei, don't say anything. The boss is going to end it himself. Just wait and see the good show."
"Ah, he will do it by himself?"
Li Chen really plans to do it by himself, and he will not let Miss Liu jump out and act like a shrew on the Internet.
After a while, Li Chen started to post his second blog post on his blog.
“I didn’t expect that just by saying the truth casually, Chen Kexin broke his guard again.”
“I have only watched one of Chen Kexin’s movies, and it was Sweet Honey.”
"Because I am a fan of Ms. Zhang Manyu's movie, so I went to see it."
"I didn't go to see If Love has nothing to do with the actor."
"Finally, don't always hide when something happens. Behind my girlfriend’s back!”
Li Chen’s blog post was no less than a mushroom cloud.
At the end of the year, the entertainment industry was in a turmoil.
Sina immediately put Li Chen's blog post on the headlines.
Wang Changtian was happy and ordered the entertainment site to temporarily add Li Chen’s blog post to today’s program.
"Director Li's language art, if I don't watch it, it has nothing to do with the actors, it has to do with the director! To put it simply, I'm so fucking sick of you!"
"Director Li has a clear distinction between love and hate. ! I also hate Chen Kexin. In order to promote his sweetness, he can slap himself in the mouth for the sake of box office. "
"On the man behind an unsuccessful woman, please. You give your child a fucking title like a man!”
"Director Li said what was in my heart. I went to see Sweet Honey because of Maggie Cheung. Who knows who Chen Kexin is!"
"Yes, who has no pattern? Director Li just said this I haven’t seen the truth, why can’t your man just sit still? Why don’t you speak out yourself! Is he a gourd?”
The Internet is full of abuse against Chen Kexin.
Friends in the circle also left messages on Li Chen’s blog.
Even Zhang Manyu replied on Li Chen’s blog: Thank you Director Li for your like.
Jiang Wen: You should fight him, brother supports you!
Li Congtong: Director Li calmed down his anger.
Fan Congtang: I have benefited a lot
Mei Ting: There is nothing wrong with what I said. What's the matter with hiding behind a woman?
Xu Zheng: Pure man!
When Yang Siwei saw Xiao Fan's reply, he directly shook the phone and joked: "What? Did you learn it?"
"Didn't you learn it? There were dozens of words without a single curse word, which pierced people's lungs. Guanzi! Like you said, the criticism is on point.”
“I didn’t mention Bingsanru at all, but it seems that I brought them together again!”
Chen Kexin was irritated.
"Why are you trying to step on him again? Don't you think I'm embarrassed enough?"
"I don't want to vent my anger on you," Wujiru muttered, not daring to say anything.
Liu Dehua called Li Chen: "Director Li, calm down, forget it."
"Brother Hua, I didn't plan to continue, I just didn't reply, for fear that Some people are trying too hard! Did someone call you? "
"Well, you two are great directors, and it would be bad for everyone if you make too much noise."
As soon as Li Chen spoke up. , Chen Kexin and Wushiru both shut up again.
When the news came that Wuji had been nominated for a Golden Globe.
The couple Chen Kaige and his wife who attended the premiere of The Promise in Hong Kong were even more overjoyed.
At this point, Wuji’s buffs are fully stacked.
The amount of investment ranks first in film history!
Record-breaking copies!
The cast is unprecedented!
Nominated for the Oscars and Golden Globes!
Everything shows that Wuji will become an epic myth and legend.
Even a small group of people who were not optimistic about Wuji before have also shut their mouths.
Chen Kaige is only one step away from the coronation of the new emperor.
The much-anticipated The Promise is finally about to be released!
