Chapter 103 Premiere

Gu Wei had a feeling that ever since he won the Oscar for Best Director, the leaders of relevant departments in the country had become less sarcastic.

Just like the premiere of "The Myth" this time, before the premiere even started, news about Gu Wei's participation was reported online. As a result, the group of old men and women did not post articles to make irresponsible remarks like they did before.

...

On September 9, the premiere of the movie "The Myth" was held in the Great Hall of the People.

There are so many movies produced in China every year, but only a handful of them can be held in the Great Hall of the People. It has to be said that Jackie Chan is really influential.

This can be seen from the fact that he was able to shoot a movie with the Terracotta Warriors. Of course, this was also inseparable from the support of China Film Corporation.

In the morning, many stars gathered, a red carpet was rolled out in the square, and most of the directors and well-known artists in the circle came to the scene.

Gu Wei brought Liu Yifei and Qin Hao here together. As soon as they got off the car, reporters swarmed over.

Liu Yifei, wearing a white dress, walked onto the red carpet with Gu Wei and Qin Hao.

"Yifei, look over here."

When Liu Yifei heard the reporter's words, she smiled and looked at the camera.

"Director, this scene is too big."

Qin Hao whispered to Gu Wei.

"There will be more and more big events like this in the future. Let's learn from Xixi."

"When will the director start a new movie? I've been idle for almost half a year since I finished filming 'Qinghong'."

Qin Hao spoke to Gu Wei with a smile.

"Isn't drama interesting? With your poor English, I think your role will need dubbing later."

Gu Wei said mercilessly that this guy was a two-faced person, the kind who would go crazy if he was not punished for three days.

On the other side, Cheng Long was greeting the people present in the hall when a staff member came over and said something in his ear.

Afterwards, Cheng Long walked towards the door with the staff.

"Dear journalist friends, please give me some face. Director Gu is just here to show his support and will not be accepting interviews for the time being."

Cheng Long clasped his hands together and spoke to the reporters surrounding Gu Wei.

The reporters were also very considerate and dispersed after a while.

"Haha, welcome Director Gu to come and support us, thank you."

"Brother, this is serious. I will definitely give you face."

Then several people followed Cheng Long into the auditorium.

Led by two large companies, China Film Group and Emperor Entertainment Group, all the major film and television companies in the industry came to the scene.

Huayi, Guangguang, Bona and others all brought their own artists to attend the event in their best attire.

On the red carpet, female stars competed with each other for beauty, and reporters on both sides kept pressing the shutter to record the footage.

Afterwards, Cheng Long, Gu Wei and others said sorry, then held the hands of South Korean movie star Kim Hee Sun and walked onto the red carpet again, followed by the director and other crew members.

Near noon, the conference hall was crowded with guests, and Han Sanping and Yang Shoucheng were chatting about something.

A staff member came over and said, "Director Han, Director Gu and the others are here."

"Gu Wei, this way."

Han Sanping waved his hand and shouted in that direction. When the others nearby heard this, they looked over there.

Gu Wei heard the call and walked over with the two of them.

"Director Han, Director Yang."

Coming up to them, Gu Wei greeted the two of them.

"Director Han, Director Yang."

Liu Yifei and Qin Hao said in unison.

"Director Gu, nice to see you again, haha, thank you for your support."

"These two must be the artists from Director Gu's company. They are indeed handsome men and beautiful women."

Yang Shoucheng spoke pleasant words and praised.

"A beauty? That's true. Qin Hao can't be called a handsome man either. He's just a little better than him."

Gu Wei muttered to himself that his appearance was OK among directors, but it was certainly not comparable to celebrity artists, and he knew this well.

"Mr. Yang, you're too polite."

"Thank you for the compliment, Director Yang."

Liu Yifei said sweetly. "Boss Han, haven't Director Zhang and the others arrived yet?"

Gu Wei looked around but didn't see any big directors.

"They are holding a competition for the position of chief director of the Olympic Games. They will probably come over later."

"It's a pity that you, the Oscar winner for Best Director, don't have the chance to run for election."

Han Sanping said regretfully.

"I'm only good at making movies, but Director Zhang and his team are good at this kind of big scenes."

"You are good at making movies. The box office of the movies you directed is almost 10 billion in domestic currency."

Han Sanping joked.

Gu Wei was stunned for a moment. He didn't notice this.

At this stage, while other domestic directors are still striving to achieve a box office of 100 million yuan, the gap between Gu Wei and them has already widened.

"Director Gu is young and promising. If he has good projects in the future, he can consider Emperor Entertainment Group, even at a premium."

Yang Shoucheng was able to take advantage of the situation and spoke.

"Let's talk about it when we have a chance."

Gu Wei laughed and said something perfunctorily.

"Boss Han, Boss Yang, Director Gu, what are you talking about?"

Cheng Long came over with director Stanley Tong, and Kim Hee Sun was beside them.

"Hello, Director Gu."

"Director Tang."

Gu Wei has some impression of director Tang Jili. The movie "Rumble in the Bronx", which broke the record of the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in the United States, was directed by him.

He and Cheng Long are also old partners.

"Director Gu, thank you for coming to support us."

Tang Jili looked at Gu Wei in front of him and felt a surge of emotion.

He had worked in Hollywood and went there to develop his career in 96. Unfortunately, he was never very successful. In addition, the attitude of the Chinese people there was not very friendly, so he was eventually forced to return to China.

Tang Jili expressed his heartfelt admiration for Gu Wei's achievements in Hollywood, and his tone was full of respect.

"Director Gu, this is Kim Hee Sun from South Korea, the heroine of 'Myth'."

Cheng Long seized the opportunity and quickly introduced it.

"Hello, Director Gu Wei."

Kim Hee Sun spoke in Mandarin, looking at Gu Wei with shining eyes. Compared with Cheng Long, she was more interested in this best director. Then she stretched out her hand and shook hands with Gu Wei.

Wow, this must have been practiced in advance. Gu Wei also shook hands with the other party.

Seeing this, Liu Yifei next to her pouted her lips and her cheeks puffed up.

They chatted for a while, and then the premiere officially began.

...

Gu Wei, Han Sanping and others sat in the front row, while Liu Yifei and Qin Hao sat behind him.

On the stage, the main creative staff of the crew began to be interviewed by reporters.

Cheng Long was really good at dealing with reporters. He was holding the microphone in one hand and Kim Hee Sun's hand in the other.

From time to time, he talked about some interesting things that happened during the filming, which made the interviewing reporters laugh.

"Director Tang, what are your expectations for the box office of The Myth?"

After the reporter interviewed Cheng Long, he then asked Tang Jili.

"In Toronto, Mythology screened twice and attracted a large audience. We are confident about the box office success of the film and its global release."

When the people in the audience heard this, they applauded, and Gu Wei watched with a smile.

Afterwards, other crew members were interviewed one after another. Liang Jiahui did not come to the scene, but this did not prevent Cheng Long from praising him and saying a lot of good things about him.

The interview lasted for quite a long time, and then somehow it turned into a China-Korea fan meeting. Many singers took the stage to sing, and in the end, Jackie Chan sang all the movie theme songs together with Kim Hee Sun and Han Hong.

That night, news from the premiere of "The Myth" was reported by the media, and a large number of photos were posted online, sparking discussions among many netizens.
