Chapter 53 Winter and Spring premiere!
There was a heavy snowfall in the capital city in December.

The entire capital city was covered with snow, and Chen An's yard and the roof of his house were all covered with thick snow.

The northern scenery is unobstructed.

Fortunately, Chen An’s house has floor heating, otherwise he would have been frozen to death.

Chen Wei came back, and Chen An called Chen Kun and Zeng Li to come to his house for hotpot.

The boss should also give special treatment to employees occasionally.

Originally there was also this idiot Duan Long, but he didn't want to go with Chen An and wanted to go to Tao Hong's house.

So the only people having hotpot in Chen An's courtyard were Zeng Li, Chen Kun and Chen Wei.

They didn't use the copper pot for shabu-shabu mutton, but a shuangbi hotpot. Chen An wanted to eat something spicy, but he didn't know if the others could eat it, so they separated the pot.

"Li Zi and Chen Kun, I will send you invitations to the premiere of "Little Forest" when the time comes. You can come too."

Chen An, who was hiding in the house and eating hot pot with a few people, said to his two employees:
"By the way, go and show up first. Director Han will call a lot of media and actors and celebrities, so you should go too."

Because the previous film had been a success, Han Sanping wanted to make the premiere bigger.

Chen An also planned to let Zeng Li and the other person go out and show off their looks. This could be considered an opportunity. After all, they were actors and it was impossible for them to only film Chen An's scenes.

Chen Kun looked up and asked, "Should we dress more formally?"

To be honest, his financial situation isn’t that good now, as he’s still a student and has only filmed one movie with Chen An.

Chen An nodded and said to the two of them:

"You and Li Zi are the same. Go prepare first and get a set of formal wear. The company will reimburse you when the time comes. It will be my New Year's gift to you."

Chen Wei already has one, having bought it for the last premiere, so he doesn’t need to buy a new one.

All of Chen An’s belongings were given to him by Lin Dajiang at the last Cannes Film Festival.

The room was filled with steam rising, the soup in the pot was boiling, and Chen An picked up some food for the people from time to time.

How can you finish the meal if you don’t eat more, especially since Zeng Li hardly moved her chopsticks in order to maintain her figure.

"Brother An, take less. I can't eat it all." Zeng Li looked at the pieces of mutton in the bowl that had filled up half the bowl.

"What can't you eat? You're still growing at a young age, so eat more. It's a rare opportunity for me to invite you to have a meal. You won't have this opportunity again in the future."

Chen An felt that Zeng Li, who was 1.7 meters tall, needed to eat more to grow.

After saying that, he put some food into her bowl. Zeng Li quickly took the bowl and ate the mutton in it.

Seeing that she didn't want it, Chen An turned around and put it into Chen Wei's bowl. The latter had worked hard for several months on the crew and didn't hesitate to put it in his mouth.

On the night of November 12th.

The same place as the last premiere.

The premiere of "Little Forest: Winter and Spring" was held.

Like the previous article, this time, many media and celebrities were invited.

Han Sanping and Chen An hosted the event together and thanked all the celebrities who came.

Almost all the actors who had handed in their invitations have arrived, some of them were invited by Chen An and some by Han Sanping.

Many actors that Chen An knew came.

For example, some actors such as Chen Daomin and Wang Zhiwen were found by Han Sanping.

Everyone come to this premiere to boost the momentum.

Most of them were invited by Han Sanping. Chen An invited relatively few people himself, only a few actors and directors.

For example, Jiang Wen, who came with Uncle Ge, didn’t need to invite Han.

Uncle Ge smiled and waved to the media around him, but Jiang Wen walked quickly across the red carpet with one hand in his pocket, wearing a pair of sunglasses.

He walked up to Chen An, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "It's quite a big deal. Next time, come to my movie premiere."

"That's fine, but you need to find the script first. It's been a while since Sunny Days was finished filming, and I don't see any plans for you to shoot it again."

"Slow work makes perfect. When I find it, I will take a picture of it and show it to you!"

After that, he didn't say much. He patted Chen An on the shoulder, chatted with Han Sanping for a while, and then walked inside.

Uncle Ge also greeted Chen An enthusiastically: "Xiao Chen, I'm here this time. You have to come and support me at the next premiere of my movie."

Of course Chen An knew that the movie that Ge Daye was talking about was "Party A and Party B". Even if Ge Daye didn't say it, Han Sanping would have asked him to go. After all, he had just called Feng Xiaogang over, so he had to go too.

"No problem, I will definitely go then." Chen An also chatted with Uncle Ge with a smile.

Afterwards, all the people invited by Chen An arrived one after another. The previous heroine, Ning Jing, even complained to him why he didn't ask her to play the role because he thought she was not pretty enough.

Chen An laughed and said something like what he saw under a video posted by an up-loader on a certain website, saying that he would definitely do it next time.

His senior brother Zhang Chen An was also invited, and his appearance caused a surprise among the media.

After all, in mainland China today, the most popular directors are still him and Chen Kaige. One won second place in the three major awards, and the other won the only Chinese-language Palme d'Or.

His arrival still attracted a lot of attention.

Not long after that, everyone who should have arrived arrived. Zeng Li and Chen Kun also showed up. Chen An also took them both to show off in front of Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou.

The meaning is very clear. If you have the chance, take more care of them.

Of course, this is mutual. If you have anyone to recommend, I'm open to it. Although Chen An is young, he still has the ability.

The Cannes Best Director award is not fake. Although he is not as good as Zhang Yimou, it is still the first for a Chinese-language film.

The circle is so small and the resources are interactive.

After chatting with a few people and arranging the seats, Chen An also went on stage to accept some promotional interviews with Yu Jinghong.

Then the film began to play.

"Spring and Winter" is actually an extension and summary of "Summer and Autumn".

Only by putting the two parts together can we fully tell this simple little story and the inner thoughts of the heroine Persimmon.

From beginning to end, from escape to final confrontation.

All the thoughts of summer and autumn are suppressed until winter when they burst out, and in the vitality brought by spring, Persimmon leaves resolutely.

Just like she suddenly returned to Komori and left just as suddenly.

Adding some delicious food as embellishment to her boring presentation also serves as an introduction.

It gradually reveals her past and inner thoughts, and is also a conversation with her deceased mother.

From this, we can understand the mother’s feelings, and our reconciliation is also a reconciliation with ourselves.

The story is slow and plain like the previous one, but it is not boring, and the audience's hearts are drawn to it little by little as the film goes on.

But suddenly, the news of Persimmon's sudden departure was heard by his good friend Orange.

It also allows the audience to indirectly feel Persimmon's determination and transformation.

No longer relying on procrastination to get closer, we let go of everything and returned to the city to face everything.

Finally, the camera turned and the time went back to a few years later. Now Persimmon has returned to Komori again, and brought back more than just herself.

There is also the unnamed husband played by Chen An, who also illustrates Persimmon's growth.

Unlike the original version, Chen An left the scene of Persimmon reading the letter at the end.

Back to the time before Persimmon left, when the sky was filled with pink peach blossoms.

Sitting on her childhood swing, Persimmon reads the letter sent by her mother, which is also the reason why her mother left.

From this moment on, Persimmon finally completed its transformation!

The picture also stays at this moment, and the film ends with peach blossoms all over the sky.

At the end, subtitles of the crew members appeared, and many behind-the-scenes footage of the filming was also released.

The video has officially ended!
Everyone at the scene applauded. After all, they were invited by others, so they had to give them some face.

Of course, no one knows whether they really like it or not.

Chen An's Senior Brother Zhang smiled and clapped without saying anything, but Jiang Wen did not hide anything and directly said to Chen An beside him:
"Your camera skills have improved a lot, but the story has regressed. The story is too flat."

He didn't think much of this story, but he didn't say it too harshly. Directors of his generation didn't like to shoot this type of film.

This kind of fresh and simple theme is simply an anomaly in the mainland.

Chen An didn't care: "I'm just practicing, shooting something lighthearted. You guys always talk about big principles, I'm going to do the opposite, and show the audience something lighthearted."
