Chapter 215 Gong Li + Ge You + Zhang Guorong =?
But Chen An didn't expect that Zhang Weiping in this life was even more powerful and cut it to 44%.
Higher than in the previous life.
As the producer, Chen An was naturally happy that there was someone to carry on the succession.
It is my blessing to have you, but I don’t know what Senior Brother Zhang thinks as to whether he is blessed or not.
Chen An was so happy that he didn't even want to eat. He laughed and said, "Let's go, Brother Zhao. Let's go to the press conference instead of eating."
After saying that, he put on his clothes and coat.
Let’s hold the press conference first.
Not only the school but also major media outlets are paying attention to my graduation work.
I want to see what this talented director Chen An can come up with as his graduation work.
There is no doubt that this is the most stunning graduation work in China and even in the world!
The cast is also pretty good.
Gong Li, the Venice Film Festival winner, Ge Daye, the double winner of the Berlin and Cannes Film Festival, Zhou Xun, one of the so-called four great actresses, can only play a supporting role.
Although it cannot take away the topic of "Hero", it can at least give Zhang Weiping some icing on the cake.
At the press conference of Chen Anli’s new film "Shoplifters".
Several leading actors had already arrived.
Gong Li, Ge Da Ye and several leading actors sat in a row.
Wait for Chen An to sit in the main seat.
The reporters looked at the two empty seats with some curiosity.
Is there anyone else besides Chen An?
I remember that these were the only actors announced.
When Chen An appeared, they also understood.
Because there was a figure following behind him, it was Zhang Guorong? !
Chen An chuckled and sat down at the empty seat at the table, and Zhang Guorong also sat next to him.
Without even asking the reporters who were ready to ask questions, Chen An spoke directly into the small microphone in front of him:
"Don't guess. Let me introduce you. This is the newly signed artist and director of Light Year Media, and the deputy director of this film, Mr. Zhang Guorong."
After saying that, he pointed at Zhang Guorong next to him.
"Hello everyone, nice to meet you." Zhang Guorong also cooperated and introduced himself!
Heavyweight!
Absolutely breaking news!
I came to the right place, Chen An’s press conference was full of surprises!
The group of reporters kept sighing and taking pictures with their cameras.
Zhang Guorong actually joined Chen An’s Lightyear Media and served as the deputy director of this film.
Does he want to develop into a director?
"Thank you Director Chen for inviting our newspaper to attend this press conference. It's a great surprise. I would like to ask if Mr. Zhang Guorong will only serve as an assistant director or a part-time actor when he joins Light Year Media and participates in the filming of this movie?"
Facing the question from the Metropolitan Entertainment News reporter, Chen An did not answer. Instead, he smiled and looked at Zhang Guorong and asked him to answer.
After receiving the instructions, Zhang Guorong smiled and said to the reporter: "I don't know, I just want to learn from Director Chen as an assistant director, but it seems that he also wants me to make a cameo appearance. I can't do anything about it. He is the boss and I just follow his instructions~"
"It took so long for Mr. Zhang Guorong to come to Beijing this time, and he is still the director. Is he planning to develop in the mainland market? And is he waiting for Director Chen to come back from Hollywood?"
Zhang Guorong didn't take this question seriously. The reporter from Hong Kong Island asked a more powerful question, so he answered directly:
"Yes, I'm old now and my health is not good if I keep singing and dancing, so I want to develop into a director. I'm really waiting for Director Chen to come back. After waiting for several months, he finally got his chance."
He was really brave enough to say that, and the reporters were almost dying of joy.
Of course Zhang Guorong is very popular, and Gong Li is not bad either, but not everyone is surrounding Zhang Guorong to ask questions.
As for Ge Da Ge, he is an actor I have worked with before, which is not surprising, as Zhou Xun is also one of them.
Both of them sat in their seats and listened quietly like the two little actors.
"Ms. Gong Li is working with Director Chen for the first time. Are you confident about this collaboration?"
A reporter from Southern City News asked Gong Li.
This is the first collaboration between Chen An and Gong Li.
Chen An is the famous "Girl An", and Gong Li is the first and most successful "Girl of Mou", so the collaboration between the two is still very topical.
Especially now that Zhang Yimou’s high-profile “Hero” is about to be released.
This actress, who has not participated in any of Zhang Yimou's movies for seven years, suddenly started working with Chen An.
"It's hard not to have confidence. He told me about this movie when I attended Cannes in 96. I waited six years for the script. I was looking forward to it, and after reading the script, I became more confident."
Gong Li spoke slowly into the microphone. But the reporters noticed that she had been waiting for this for six years.
It really wasn't a wasted trip today, there is so much news.
It took Chen An six years to complete the script!
The press conference was very successful and the news about "Hero" was suppressed for a short time.
Whether it is Zhang Guorong joining Chen An’s Light Year Media and starting to serve as a director.
It’s still Gong Li’s words that she has been waiting for Chen An’s script for six years.
They appeared on the headlines of major media outlets, occupying the position originally belonging to "Hero".
"Gong Li + Ge You = To Live. I've heard that Chen An likes To Live. This is his dream lineup."
"Hahahaha, someone heard from Chen An's classmates that Chen An applied for the Beijing Film Academy just because he watched To Live. I don't know if it's true or not."
"Wrong! Gong Li + Ge You = "To Live", but Gong Li + Ge You + Zhang Guorong = "Farewell My Concubine", so the Palme d'Or is secure, and Chen An is about to win his first of the three best European films!"
"This is probably going to be the most awesome graduation project in the history of movies, a graduation project!"
"."
The news of the press conference spread widely and many people knew about it.
The discussions on the Internet are also quite curious.
After all, as a graduation work, this lineup is simply unimaginable.
Beijing Film Academy was also very happy to see that Chen An's new film project was approved. They had put a lot of effort into getting the script approved.
This thing really made them fight for their lives.
The school’s efforts were finally worth it with this cast.
Zhang Weiping felt furious when he saw the news, as he had spent so much money on publicity.
As a result, your press conference made headlines as soon as it started.
How come you are so popular?
Zhang Yimou looked at the figure in the newspaper with his deep dark eyes without saying a word.
Just be happy.
I just wanted to come to this premiere, but I’m afraid my junior brother may not be able to come.
It would be better not to come to avoid the embarrassment of meeting Zhang Weiping and the others.
He was well aware that his partner was not a good talker.
Chen An has already organized the crew to set off for Hong Kong Island.
Since the background is set in Hong Kong Island, we can just shoot there. We have no shortage of money.
Besides, the world is quite large and it is warmer over there.
Chen Wei was handed over to Jiang Wen to be the director, so Chen An naturally had to change the photographer.
I originally wanted to ask Lu Le to form the ultimate version of "To Live", but after thinking about it, I decided to contact Gu Changwei.
The "Farewell My Concubine" version is also good, and it would be best if the result is the same.
Chen An is very ambitious as he decided to shoot this movie after such a long time, and he is aiming for the Palme d'Or!
Landing in Hong Kong Island, the parents of the two young actors accompanied them for the filming.
There is no need for additional staff management.
The relatively warm air from overseas is blowing slowly, and it is much warmer than in Beijing.
It was the first time for the two little actors to come here. They found everything new and exciting and were extremely happy.
But the happiest person was naturally Zhang Guorong, who finally came back after such a long time.
"Mr. Zhang, I'll give you a day off since you're in a good mood today." Chen An knew what Zhang Guorong was thinking and generously gave him a day off.
Zhang Guorong was amused and said, "Wow, I'm glad it's only open for one day."
"I can keep showing it to you. It depends on whether your director still wants to learn."
"Thank you very much, I will be back in the evening."
