Chapter 336 Jinghong
Li Chen’s birthday is Christmas Eve. Every year Liu Yifei wants to arrange it for Li Chen, but Li Chen politely refuses by saying that a man’s birthday is not easy.
Liu Yifei was not around this year, so she made a special call to Yang Siwei to make sure that the birthday girl would not be lonely.
As the premiere of "Mei Lanfang" approached, Miss Liu sent a message that she would not come.
When the time comes, I will fly directly to Baodao with my mother Liu.
Li Chen naturally had no objection. After all, Liu's mother was almost 50, so it was really hard to fly around.
December has not yet entered, and "Tough Guy" has already been abandoned by theaters, with a total box office of less than 7 million.
The fate of "Peach Blossom Luck" and "Love Call 2" are also these two days.
On the contrary, "The Twilight Saga" experienced a reasonable reversal due to its dazzling box office performance in North America.
The total box office reached 35 million.
On December 2, the day of the premiere of "Mei Lanfang", Li Chen picked up his teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang in advance, and the master and apprentice went together to support Director Chen.
Speaking of this old classmate, Tian Zhuangzhuang also fell into memories.
“I still remember the premiere of "Farewell My Concubine" held at the Grand Guangming Cinema in Shanghai in 1993. Old Chen shouted to the audience in high spirits: Is Farewell My Concubine good or not?"
< br>"It is said that the audience burst the glass of the theater at that time."
Li Chen said with a disgraceful smile: "Teacher, I'm afraid the vast majority of the audience went for 'brother', right?"
Tian Zhuangxang nodded: "You're right."
When we arrived at the China Film Huairou Film and Television Base, we seemed to have walked into a Mei Lanfang theme park. The posters and props were dazzling.
As soon as the two got out of the car, staff members in black suits greeted them.
Li Chen stepped aside slightly, half a step behind Tian Zangzang.
The master and apprentice walked onto the red carpet, and fans and audiences on both sides of the fence immediately started shouting Li Chen's name.
There are names like Little Plum, Leader, Director Li, and so on.
Li Chen waved and smiled with the movie fans on both sides, and Tianzhuang smiled and said: "I'm afraid you are the biggest one tonight."
Li Chen also looked at it, and the audience on both sides raised their hands. Apart from the several leading actors, only Li Yuchun seems to have the most posters and lighting boards.
I don’t know if it’s due to Lao Chen’s poor popularity or lack of appeal, or maybe he didn’t invite him at all.
At the end of the red carpet is a signed copy and one of the two hosts, we are old acquaintances.
When Li Chen signed, he glanced at it and saw that the star lineup was so bleak.
Li Yuchun and Ashin are the biggest celebrities.
Have a brief chat with Jingwei.
The staff guided the two into the infield.
Chen Kaige and his wife also saw Master Tian Zhuangzhuang.
Chen Kaige looks energetic and radiant in a black suit and white shirt.
Chen Hong is wearing black high heels, black stockings, a black sleeveless knee-length skirt, and a black shawl with unknown hair.
As expected, red carpets and premieres come with special effects to keep away the cold.
The couple took the initiative to greet them and attracted the attention of the guests. It was not surprising when they saw that Tian Zhuangzang and Li Chen had arrived.
Li Ming and Zhang Ziyi stood together and laughed: "Brother Ming, tell me what Director Li will say for a while? I'm afraid that Director Kaige and Sister Hong's mood at the moment is not as beautiful as the smiles on their faces."< br>
Li Ming shook his head and said: "I don't think so. If Director Li didn't go too far when "The Promise" premiered, then there would be no more "Mei Lanfang"."
Zhang Ziyi nodded and said no more. explain.
"Old Tian, Li Chen, you are here." Chen Hong held Chen Kaige's arm and smiled, looking like a couple of gods and immortals.
"Director Tian, Li Chen welcomes you." Chen Hong also followed with a smile.
Chen Hong made Li Chen feel much older than three years ago.
"Director Chen, Sister Hong, the teacher and I are not late, are we?" Li Chen also smiled and greeted the two of them.
Chen Kaige murmured in his heart, if you come here later, you will just come with the leaders of the General Administration.
Chen Hong smiled and said no.
Chen Kaige and Tian Zhuangzhuang were walking in front, while Li Chen and Chen Hong were slightly behind. "Sister Hong, I haven't congratulated you and Director Chen for your "Mei Lanfang" once again representing our mainland in the Olympics."
Chen Hong is not simple. She and Li Chen are not that familiar, but they just talk about each other in a way that they are familiar with each other and build a closer relationship.
"That's not because you all didn't go. Lao Chen had no idea, so he took the plunge."
"I haven't congratulated you yet, "Twilight Saga" has made a lot of money. I’m so envious of Sister Hong.”
“You have to be merciful today to save some face for Lao Chen and Sister Hong.”
Li Chen shook his head and chuckled: "Don't worry, Sister Hong, with the words "Mei Lanfang", no one dares to say anything."
"However, I would like to kindly remind you that your 'Zhang Guanli Dai' is not clever, so be careful of causing trouble."
To Chen Hong's ears, Li Chen's words were no less than a magnitude 7 earthquake.
Chen Hong stopped immediately and his expression changed instantly.
This scene surprised many people around.
Especially Zhang Ziyi and Li Ming, who are not too far away.
What words can make Chen Hong change his face drastically.
Even Chen Kaige stopped and turned his head and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Chen Hong reacted immediately and hurriedly smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, Li Chen predicted The box office of "Twilight" was shocking."
Chen Kaige didn't think much about it. The box office of "Twilight" was indeed scary. As of last weekend, it had exceeded 250 million US dollars.
Major domestic media and portal websites are also paying attention to this money-making beast every day.
Chen Hong could no longer remain calm.
It has been almost four months since Zhang Guanli Dai’s strategy, and no one has noticed it for so long.
Li Chen just pointed it out today, how could Chen Hong not be frightened.
"Li Chen, listen to my explanation." Chen Hong and Li Chen got closer and closer.
"Brother Ming, do you realize that Sister Hong's reaction is a bit strange, as if she was caught by Director Li's pigtails." Zhang Ziyi approached Li Ming and said.
Li Ming naturally saw it, and I believe many people present could see it.
"Sister Hong, you don't need to explain. If I wanted to stab you in the back, I wouldn't come today."
"It was not easy to film "Mei Lanfang", and I also hope that this kind of promotion of tradition Wenhua's works can be flawless." Li Chen directly interrupted Chen Hong who was eager to explain.
Chen Hong was relieved and said: "How did you tell?"
Li Chen smiled and said: "Didn't I say it earlier, I still prefer "Farewell My Concubine" ", looks strange?"
Chen Hong nodded doubtfully and said with a smile: "They say you have unique vision. I didn't believe it before, but I completely believe it today."
"However, there shouldn't be many people with your vision, right? ”
Chen Hong’s words not only praised Li Chen, but also reflected her attitude.
It seems that Chen Hong is determined to take a chance and bet that others will not find out.
"That's not necessarily the case, Sister Hong. The promotion of "Mei Lanfang" is so intense, and the number of fans of "Farewell My Concubine" and that 'brother' is also quite large."
While the two were talking, Han Sanping came over and asked, "Didn't this guy say anything nice again?"
Li Chen didn't know if Han Sanping knew about Guan Lidai's trick, but he probably knew it. of.
After all, China Film is both the producer and the distributor.
"No, no, Director Han, Li Chen said all good words and I have benefited a lot." Chen Hong said quickly and perfunctorily.
"Really?" Han Sanping looked at Li Chen with disbelief on his face.
Li Chen smiled and said: "If you are afraid that I will speak, don't worry, I will strictly abide by silence is golden tonight."
"You also say hello to the Baodao host on the stage, I just ordered We've passed the longitude and latitude."
"The protagonists tonight are Director Chen and "Mei Lanfang", don't be indifferent."
