Chapter 122 The Return of the Celestial Being
Beijing, the China Film Cinema International Trade Center store under the China Film Red Cinema Line.

Liu Xiaoli looked at the huge crowd in front of her, her expression both devastated and helpless.

"Xixi, there are too many people!"

Liu Tianxian was also a little disappointed and whispered, "It looks like I can't buy a ticket!"

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a notice that today's tickets were sold out.

"Damn, there are more people here than in that (cinema) in Manhattan!" Liu Xiaoli couldn't help complaining.

Liu Tianxian said softly, "There are many blockbuster movies released in the United States, but here there is only one a year, it's different!"

Then he sighed softly: "It would be better if you came out earlier!"

The old man next to him smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's no use. Even if you leave at 7 o'clock, you won't be able to buy a ticket!"

Seeing the surprised faces of the beautiful woman and her pretty daughter, the old man said proudly: "Do you know when someone will come to line up? In the middle of the night, they came with a mat!"

Liu Tianxian is fifteen years old now and is still somewhat naive about worldly affairs.

Her beautiful eyes widened, not understanding why people had to queue up so early just to watch a movie.

Even if Jiang Heng’s films are very good, the worst that can happen is that you can watch them a few days later, or go somewhere farther away!

However, Liu Xiaoli knew that the world was bustling with people, all for the sake of profit, and the world was bustling with people, all for the sake of profit.

I wondered, “Here, there are scalpers too!”

"Hey, what do you mean? There are scalpers everywhere! They get up early to line up, usually to grab IMAX tickets, twenty-one tickets, and they sell for two hundred. Ordinary ones can be sold for fifty or sixty!
There are always those who bring their girlfriends but can’t buy tickets, and they are afraid that their girlfriends will be angry if they change places, so they buy a few ordinary tickets from scalpers! "

Liu Xiaoli still has some assets, so a difference of twenty or thirty yuan is nothing.

"Uncle, do you have a ticket?"

The old man laughed and said, "Yes, but there is only one from Yu Fu..."

Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged woman nearby grabbed the old man's ear and yelled, "Hey, you shameless bastard, I'm just going to the bathroom and you're already complaining to people. I thought you were young!"

The old man was a stubborn person and kept making excuses. Liu Xiaoli was so scared that she quickly took her daughter out.

He stopped after leaving the cinema, still angry. Liu Tianxian looked as if he had done something wrong and didn't dare to say a word.

"You two, didn't you buy the tickets?"

Liu Xiaoli turned her head and glared at him, only to see that he was a man in his thirties who looked quite gentle.

"What's there?"

"Of course it's IMAX. For the next show, in the middle of the back row, I'll charge you 600 yuan for the two of you!"

"Six hundred, why don't you go and rob?"

"Hey, this is what I earned from hard work. I came here to line up last night. It's like buying for someone else, and I'm collecting some hard-earned money!"

"Mom, how about just forget it!" Liu Tianxian said timidly.

The scalper said hurriedly, "Hey, little beauty, you don't know, this is not a regular ticket that you can get as many as you want, it's an IMAX with the best visual effects, there are only ten screens in the country, and there are only two in Beijing. If you don't buy it now, it's normal that you can't buy it in ten days or half a month. There are just a lot of rich people in Beijing!"

"Two, four hundred!" Liu Xiaoli stopped talking nonsense.

"make a deal!"

After getting the movie tickets and waiting inside, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but say, "Xixi, you must work hard in the future to stay away from those low-quality people, understand?"

Liu Tianxian nodded as if she understood, but didn't dare to say anything.

Since she grew up, her mother has made decisions about almost everything for her.

The only time I made my own decision was after watching Jiang Heng’s “Lion Camel Ridge” and thought about becoming an actor.

When Liu Xiaoli first heard it, she naturally refused.

But seeing that my daughter insisted and tried hard, I agreed.

In the first half of the year, Liu Tianxian not only completed all the credits, but also was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, which made her extremely pleased.

If there is any regret, it is naturally the heroine of this play. Liu Xiaoli has always felt that if the filming was planned at this time, her daughter would still have a great chance of getting the role.

The reason I came here today is that I want to see which girl is so lucky and what her performance will be like.

In the IMAX theater, Liu Xiaoli led her daughter to find a seat and looked around. It was really nice.

After all, it was a newly renovated cinema, which gave her a better feeling than the one in New York.

There were just too many people in the theater, almost full, which was something she had rarely encountered in all her years of watching movies.

Liu Tianxian also dared to sigh, "There are so many people, Mom!"

"Yes, there are quite a lot. This is the Christmas season for Hollywood blockbusters!"

Then he added, "I'll tell your godfather later and find a chance to meet Director Jiang and have dinner together!"

Liu Tianxian nodded lightly. She had the resources, so she naturally wouldn't start out as a supporting role.

I just don’t know whether Director Jiang will choose her.

I heard that when the female lead of "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother" was being auditioned, many beautiful girls attended, including some with strong backgrounds and connections, but in the end, a girl with no background and no acting experience was chosen.

It’s really hard to say what Director Jiang’s casting criteria are!
While Liu Tianxian was feeling anxious, the movie had already started.

The mother and daughter watched the whole process with rapt attention. The special effects were outstanding and the plot was compact and smooth.

Especially in the design of many action scenes, Jiang Heng borrowed content from some later film and television dramas. Putting them in the 02 film, it was too dazzling and exciting.

When I left the theater after watching the movie, I still heard many people talking about the plot with great interest.

"Yang Jian has a miserable life. It's okay to have a mother, but it's really terrible that his sister is disobedient and insists on finding a mortal man!"

"The Haotian Mirror part is pretty good. Yang Jian is besieged by Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Nezha, Chenxiang and others. The fighting scenes must be exciting!"

"It will definitely be exciting. Just the battle between Yang Jian and Sun Wukong should be very good to watch. The Yang Jian here has practiced for too short a time and is still a little weak!"

Listening to the discussions around her, Liu Tianxian couldn't help herself, "The movie is so good, Mom, I'm so happy today!"

Liu Xiaoli said, "Well, Director Jiang shot it really well, but the female lead is a little lacking. If my Xixi played the role, she would definitely be better than her!"

Liu Tianxian couldn't help but imagine the scene of herself appearing on the big screen, playing the role of the Third Holy Mother Yang Chan and acting opposite Yang Jian played by Jiang Heng.

He sighed slightly and said, "There is no such opportunity!"

Liu Xiaoli said, "Opportunities still need to be fought for. I heard that Director Jiang is planning to shoot a love movie. He will definitely help you get the role of the heroine!"

After saying that, he hurried into the underground parking lot, got in the car and then called Chen Jinfei.

"Old Chen, you said last time that Director Jiang was planning to make a love movie. Is that true?"

Chen Jinfei on the other end of the phone laughed, "How can you be sure? Director Jiang is only in his twenties and has never been in love. He knows what love is! I think he is really smart. He knows that he doesn't understand, so he doesn't invest recklessly in filming. He just plays a special effects blockbuster, and it's still successful. It's amazing!"

Liu Xiaoli asked: "You've never been in love?"

"Yes, there hasn't been any scandal, but after this drama, I heard that the girl named Tang often visits the crew!"

Liu Xiaoli asked: "Old Chen, do you have any contact with Jiang Heng?"

Chen Jinfei smiled bitterly. He currently ran a real estate company with a net worth of more than 2 billion RMB, but he might not have as much money as Jiang Heng.

And in terms of status, there is no comparison.

Today, Jiang Heng is the number one commercial film director in mainland China. Although he has not won any important international film awards, he has single-handedly revived the Chinese-language film market.

How many cinemas have been saved from bankruptcy and closure because of the screenings of Jiang Heng’s blockbusters!

However, his ranking in the domestic real estate industry is not that high, so it is really hard to compare.

He just said, "What do you think?"

"Can I meet Director Jiang and have dinner with him?"

"Let me make a phone call and ask!"
