Chapter 568: The Premiere of "The Sword Embroidered"
Villa, in the room.
Liu Yifei didn't sleep in today, which was a rare day. Gu Wei even felt that the sun might have risen from the west.
"Xixi, you need to change your habit. Sometimes you get up passively, and sometimes you get up actively. I can't get used to it." Gu Wei, who was lying on the bed like a big boss, teased as he looked at the young lady who had just finished washing up and was choosing clothes for him to wear today.
"Why don't you take the initiative? I'll count to three, then you can get up right away, one by one..."
The young lady rolled her eyes and was about to take action.
"Take the initiative?" Upon hearing these two words, some inappropriate images popped up in Gu Wei's mind.
The young lady didn't give Gu Wei time to think, she grabbed him and picked him up.
As for Su Chang, as the leading actress, she naturally joined the crew early to welcome the guests.
...
CPPCC Auditorium.
"The Blade of the Assassin", which fans have been waiting for for a long time, finally had its premiere.
Lu Yang, what is your position in the industry?
In the eyes of people in the industry, he is a contracted director of Xingchen Film and Television Company.
Representative works include: "Blind Massage Parlor" and "Love Is Not Blind".
Personal awards:?
Lu Yang: "Business is more important. Why bring this up? We can talk about it later."
Well, let’s get down to business.
At this moment, everyone's attention inevitably focused on Lu Yang.
The box office of "Knife of the Assassin" is also a test for him. I believe Lu Yang himself is well aware that the pressure will not be small.
After all, in today's circle, the title of director in the 300 million or 200 million box office club is becoming less and less prestigious.
The premiere was packed with people, and there were many people from the film and television industry who came to support it.
The leading actors of several other movies released in the same period also came one after another.
Fan Binbin was holding a glass of wine and chatting with Lu Yang.
Huang Xiaoming took Yang Ying and walked among the crowd, introducing them to each other one by one.
Su Chang, Zhao Wenzhuo, Wang Qianyuan, Zhou Yiwei, Zhu Dan and others were also not idle, and came to greet people one after another.
Except for Wu Jing who was absent, everyone else was present.
Wang Changtian was surrounded by a group of people including Deng Chao, Xie Nan, Liu Yan, etc.
Since Gu Wei and Liu Yifei had not arrived yet, Huayi's Wang Zhonglei naturally became the focus of the whole audience.
After all, yesterday’s news that Huayi was going to acquire Xiaoma Pentium was still on the front page!
As for the company’s own people, quite a few came here.
Wang Jinghua brought a group of people and greeted various directors and filmmakers in a familiar manner.
Jiang Xueruo, Wang Chen, Ye Ning and Lu Zheng were chatting and laughing.
Song Ge and Zhang Yimou were targeted by Yu Dong. They were sitting on the sofa next to each other, whispering something.
As for Chen Guofu, he deliberately chose a place far away from Wang Zhonglei and chatted with Tong Liya.
At this moment, the premiere scene seemed like a miniature version of the entertainment industry.
The bosses and directors of film and television companies are high and mighty, while the celebrity artists try their best to flatter and curry favor with them!
The scattered companies represent the various factions and small circles in the industry.
...
Generally speaking, anyone who sends a premiere invitation to Xingchen Films will receive one in return.
This resulted in a lot of unexpected people coming to today's premiere.
For example, Guo Jingming and his group were obviously being snubbed, and there were very few people in the circle around them, but he still tried to blend into the crowd.
On the red carpet.
The arrival of Gu Wei and Liu Yifei brought the atmosphere to its climax.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the fans, the young lady waved her hands, trying to let every fan see them.
During the interview, watching Liu Yifei talking freely, Gu Wei thought to himself: "Xixi, please tone it down. This movie is not for you."
Liu Yifei: "I am happy to..."
When it was Gu Wei's turn to be interviewed, the reporter naturally repeated the old questions and asked about his opinion on the movie and his box office predictions.
"There's no rush to answer this question. Let's wait until the movie is over." Gu Wei said, leaving the question in suspense.
Sure enough, the reporters nearby immediately showed expressions as if there might be big news.
"Director Gu, Yifei, we are all waiting for you."
After entering the venue, someone with sharp eyes immediately said.
"Haha, we are not the protagonists today. Everyone should focus on Director Lu!" Gu Wei replied with a smile.
"Haha, the tour guide is busy!" someone said immediately.
Just like that, as soon as Gu Wei and Liu Yifei came in, they were surrounded by a group of people.
"Director Gu, do you have time to chat after the premiere?"
Gu Wei really didn't expect that Li An would actually come. Isn't he busy with this year's Golden Horse Awards?
"Director Li, long time no see!" Gu Wei hugged the other person.
Gu Wei did not refuse Li An's proposal, although he had already guessed what the other party was thinking!
After the two chatted for a while, Li An left the time for other people.
At this moment, Gu Wei felt something trip him up, and when he looked down, he realized it was Director Guo. "Director Gu, hello, I'm Guo Jingming, nice to meet you!" Director Guo at this moment was not as arrogant as he was on the Internet, but rather a little humble.
In fact, Guo Jingming is not stupid. Looking at the attitude of the people present tonight towards him, I believe he already has an idea in his mind.
Don’t be fooled by him criticizing this and that online. If he really dares to criticize on the spot, I’m afraid he will never be able to stay in the circle in the future.
However, unlike Li An, after seeing this person, Gu Wei felt that the two of them really had nothing to talk about.
Talk about movies?
I am a person who makes special effects blockbusters. Although I have seen Tiny Times, what can I say?
Talk about the script, your views and understanding of the movie?
Then there is even less topic to talk about, after all, the two people have different ideas.
In the end, Gu Wei just greeted the other party and chatted for a few minutes to end the meeting.
However, Gu Wei's attitude made Guo Jingming a little annoyed. As for what he was thinking, it was unknown.
……
After chatting and socializing, the interview session began.
Lu Yang took the microphone and walked onto the stage with Su Chang, Zhao Wenzhuo, Wang Qianyuan, Zhou Yiwei, Zhu Dan and others.
The scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone sat in their seats, looking forward.
"'Blade of the Assassin' is the movie that I value the most so far. I put a lot of effort into the writing of the script, the filming, and the editing...
So everyone can believe the story of this movie, it will definitely not be bad..."
I have to say, Lu Yang’s interview answer…
Well, nothing new!
After more than twenty minutes of jokes, the premiere got down to business.
"I won't say much. Let's continue our conversation after everyone finishes watching the movie..."
As soon as Lu Yang finished speaking, the big screen slowly fell down and the movie officially began.
Unlike other movies, Gu Wei thinks that the story of "The Blade of the Assassin" is very exciting, and the fighting scenes are among the best in recent years.
This movie is not complicated. The story is set in the late Ming Dynasty. It tells the story of Emperor Chongzhen, who, after ascending the throne, vowed to exterminate the eunuch Wei Zhongxian and his cronies.
The film focuses on the three brothers Jinyiwei Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan, depicting their fate in the political struggle.
The Jinyiwei in the movie is a unique military and political spy agency in the Ming Dynasty. It takes orders directly from the emperor and is responsible for collecting intelligence, investigating cases, protecting the emperor, arresting and investigating, etc.
"Embroidered Spring Knife" is the standard weapon of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, symbolizing their power and responsibility.
Unlike traditional martial arts films, "The Blade of the Assassin", which involves the eunuch party and court struggles, is somewhat similar to the story setting of the movie "New Dragon Inn".
.........
As for movies, the premiere of "The Blade Strikes Back" is going on in full swing.
The front pages of the news were all filled with news about the movie and reports from the scene.
As for TV dramas.
From the announcement of the project to the casting and publicity, the "Gu Jian Qi Tan" which has been hyped for several months has finally started filming.
In the eyes of the industry, this fantasy drama adapted from a game meets all the elements for success.
"The large-scale ancient costume fantasy drama "Gu Jian Qi Tan", which is mainly controlled by Huanrui, and co-invested by Guangguang and International Television Corporation, and starring Yang Mi, Li Yifeng, Ma Tianyu, Qiao Zhenyu and others, officially started filming at Hengdian World Studios at noon today."
"After 5 years, Yang Mi is starring in a fairy tale drama again. "Gu Jian Qi Tan" will surpass the "Chinese Paladin" series..."
"When facing reporters' questions, Yang Mi refused to answer questions related to Tiny Times."
In the end, Yang Mi won the leading female role in this TV series.
Tong Liya still rejected the other party's invitation, but people in the industry thought there was nothing wrong with her action.
"Oh, the heroine of a 600 million movie is going back to film a TV series?"
"What Liya needs to do now is to improve her acting skills. Now that she has a box office hit, she needs to work harder on winning awards."
When fans saw Tong Liya rejected "Gu Jian Qi Tan", they were relieved and offered her advice.
At the same time, the second season of Ghost Blows Out the Light produced by Xingchen Film and Television Company is about to complete the early preparation stage.
However, considering that Qin Hao and Chen Minghao are going to attend this year's Venice Film Festival, the TV series has not been launched immediately.
...
The premiere of "The Blade of the Assassin" is being held and the movie is about to be released!
"Tiny Times", which has been controversial for nearly a month, has been taken off the screen.
Its box office was as high as expected, and its reputation was as bad as expected.
It did not reach the 10 billion box office target that Guo Jingming and his fans shouted at the top of their lungs when the film was first released, nor did it get the second-best 8 million.
They even failed to cross the 5 million threshold that they had looked down upon at the beginning and seemed to be able to easily cross with just one foot.
"As of yesterday, the total box office of Tiny Times was 4.8 million yuan, and the daily box office has dropped below 5 yuan. Its potential has been exhausted."
"Faced with box office data that was far from expectations, fans of Tiny Times bluntly said it was the result of suppression."
"In front of the media, Guo Jingming called on the relevant departments to rectify the market atmosphere, and cried again with tears in his eyes, saying that he was 'ostracized' and 'bullied' by the film industry!"
On the other hand, after the movie ended, everyone looked at the directors present, hoping to hear professional comments...
