Chapter 242: Chen An’s unspeakable sins!
Led by Chen An, several leading actors of the crew landed at the Beijing airport with him.

Originally, the crew had no plans to promote the film in China, but since this was the director's territory, the crew came to China after the promotion in Europe was completed.

Jerry stayed in Los Angeles. Chen An asked him to prepare for the crew's affairs and did not allow him to come.

The movie also did well at the domestic box office, earning 20 million in its first week. The combination of a Hollywood blockbuster and Chen An's movie seems to be quite popular.

"Director, this is really great. There wasn't much to watch the last time I came here to shoot."

After leaving the airport, Bell looked at the city in front of him and said curiously.

Liam Neeson also said with a smile: "This is the director's territory. I heard that China is a country of delicious food and it will definitely not disappoint us."

Chen An nodded and said, "I will take you to try it when the time comes. I guarantee you will never forget it like Jerry."

Then I’ll let you guys taste the power of the street stalls in China.

There is no need to worry about whether the other party's stomach can tolerate it. Compared with various food safety accidents that can kill people in the United States, gutter oil is a superior product.

It is taken out to maintain their stomach and intestines.

"But I have to have a few days to go out and play after the promotion is over."

Finally, Chen An thought for a while and said.

Anyway, the main task is to promote the city, not to travel and eat.

Following along were not only the main actors of the crew, but also the crew team. Facing the reporters blocking the airport, everyone was surrounded by the team.

However, the few people inside still waved and greeted.

As for the interview, there is no need for it.

There will be plenty of opportunities when the time comes to promote it.

Outside the airport, the pick-up car arranged by China Film Corporation was already ready.

"It's incredible. The revenue in North America has exceeded 200 million US dollars. The reporters surrounding it can't stop it."

Han Sanping, who came to pick up Chen An in person, couldn't help but sigh after he got in the car.

Chen An looked at Han Sanping who was sitting in the passenger seat and came over in person, and said in surprise:

"You're so free, and you come to pick me up in person."

"I have to come and express my appreciation to the internationally renowned director who has returned home."

Han Sanping patted the chair and said jokingly.

"Can you break Wu Baige's record? It must be annoying for you to be suppressed by him all the time, right?"

"Of course, I'll break it this time."

Although Chen An is more famous abroad than Wu Baige, who was kicked out of Hollywood last year for the epic flop "Windtalkers".

However, his "Mission Impossible 2" still ranks first among Chinese directors with a box office of 5.45 million.

He was one step ahead of Chen An, no matter if it was because of Tom Cruise or not, the fact was there, Chen An had wanted to break the other party's record a long time ago.

"The movie you've just finished shooting is about to be released. Do you have any new plans?"

"There is one film that has already been approved by Hollywood and is preparing to compete for an Oscar next year."

Chen An did not hide anything when facing Han Sanping's secret questioning. He was just asking Chen An if he still had any ideas about filming in China.

"The Clue" was released two years ago, and "Hero" was released last year. He is very anxious seeing that there hasn't been a single blockbuster this year.

"Is the award for the beautiful countryman so good? After all, it is a movie with the same attributes as the Golden Rooster. If it weren't for the fact that Hollywood is much worse than the Big Three."

Chen An: “.” When you say that, I don’t know whether you are praising the three major ones or the Golden Rooster.

If the Golden Rooster Awards could also boost box office sales like the Oscars, I would also be willing to give it a try. An Oscar-winning best picture costs tens of millions of US dollars.

Although it has the same nature as the Golden Rooster, it is the same thing whether anyone wants it when you take it out.

Therefore, Chen An has always been willing to give the Golden Rooster Award to you. If you are not willing to give it to me, then forget it. It won’t sell for much anyway.

"As long as you're happy, but I heard from Sister Xiao Ping that Han Dong had a hand in the editing of Shoplifters. Thank you very much. I was not in China at the time."

Han Sanping shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if he didn't win the Palme d'Or. It would be easier to handle the award now that he has won it. Let the audience have a good look at it and tell others that Chinese-language films are not just about Zhang Yimou!"

Chen An listened and chuckled, then handed over a cigarette without saying anything.

Han Sanping took the cigarette handed to him by Chen An and said nothing more.

Zhang Weiping is always clamoring under the banner of Zhang Yimou and speaking without restraint.

Before the release of "Hero", it was clear that Chen An was used as a target for criticism, and the title of the real No. 1 Chinese-language blockbuster was given, and Zhang Yimou was also said to be the boss of Chinese-language directors.

Chen An ignored him, thinking that the other party was a clown and allowed him to shout at him.

Han Sanping couldn't stand it. Damn, doesn't he know he is my man?
I started working as the director of Beijing Film Studio in 1994, and began working with Chen An in 1995, so it has been almost ten years.

The crew members stayed in the hotel under the arrangement of China Film Group, which also arranged the promotional content.

Finally, the cinema chain under China Film Group invited him to participate in the promotion.

Under the arrangement of the staff, Chen An brought the crew to the front stage.

Several leading actors and the director sat in a row and accepted interviews from the media and fans.

Fortunately, some of the reporters had arranged questions in advance, and some of the questions were about Chen An or the movie, so the leading actors did not feel burdened to answer.

When it comes to fans and moviegoers asking questions, some troublemakers start to arise.

A young man who looked like a college student wearing a pair of glasses and looked quiet and handsome asked directly in fluent English:
"Mr. Bell, I heard that you tried to take a Batman dart away from the crew but failed, right?"

Bell was startled at first when he heard the question, then he glanced at the crew members who were laughing secretly and said helplessly:
"Yes, I originally planned to secretly take one but was discovered. Later I asked Chen if he could give me one but was rejected. Later, the props of the crew were stolen. Now I think about it and I still feel a little regretful."

Although the young man who asked the question understood English, the staff in charge of translation still translated the words for the people present.

The people below were laughing happily, but Chen An felt that he was in trouble. If he was found out that he had taken the props, he would be in big trouble by this group of people.

It seems that thing needs to be kept well and cannot be exposed before the filming of Batman is completed.

Otherwise it would be hard for him to imagine the way Bell was looking at him.

Among them, only old man Morgan, who seemed to know something, glanced at Chen An with a smile without saying a word.

"Mr. Bale and Mr. Liam Neeson, it is said that many dangerous scenes during the filming were real shots, such as a very realistic battle on the glacier. Is that true?"

Facing the questions from fans, Bale is really an honest kid. He answers whatever others ask:
"That's right, but filming on the glacier is relatively safe, mainly for psychological reasons. It's still very solid. The main thing is that the sound of the glacier melting is very loud, which sounds a bit scary. Chen said that this is just the beginning and we have to finish filming quickly. If we are slow and the glacier really melts and we fall off, we will have to replace someone else.

The most dangerous part was filming on the Chinese plateau. We set the house on fire and then blew it up. A large piece of wood chips flew right past my eyes and almost hit me on the head. I was so scared that I made mistakes in my performance, but Chen didn’t say “cut” and asked me to continue acting, saying that it would be more realistic. In the end, it was included in the feature film, and then there’s more.”

Chen An: “.”

Seeing that the other party seems to be planning to have a long talk, it seems that you have a lot of opinions about me, and I can hardly describe all the good things I have said in your mouth.

The fans and reporters below were very happy to hear it.

What's the matter with Chen An who insisted on filming burning and blowing up houses? He loves filming real scenes. He could just burn down a house worth millions of dollars, and blow it up if it couldn't be completely burned.

The last train was also a real shot. He directly bought a carriage and crashed into it. Fortunately, he had good skills and did not die inside.
