That year Huayu

In the past two years, the mainland market has been getting better and better, theater chains have continued to expand, and box office records have been on the rise.

Especially the two months at the end of the year have by default become a battleground for the box office, because throughout the year, people’s consumption desire and passion are the highest during this period.

On the crew of "Time Cruise", Lin Nan is doing the final touches and reshooting some scenes.

To be honest, this movie is not a high-octane production, and most of the filming locations were on cruise ships.

It is said to be a science fiction theme, but almost no special effects are used, so the money spent on props is not compromised at all, and the effect is very good.

Some people's love affairs cannot be avoided.

Lin Nan was filming his movie in Sanya, and he flew over after just a few phone calls.

Chen Kaige and Han Sanping, Lin Nan has to give face to the two of them. On the 12th, "The Promise" premieres in Beijing, and all directors and filmmakers who have no competing films at the same time have received invitations.

Lin Nan thought for a moment whether to refuse, as he was filming a movie, but finally replied.

Feng Xiaogang's directors who are currently filming new films seem to have promised to go, and the media has already reported it.

I heard that I responded as soon as I received the invitation, which was posted at the premiere of "The Promise".

"Fortunately, we have completed 99% of the filming, and the remaining part will not be delayed for long, otherwise I really wouldn't go there."

Lin Nan told all the leading actors about this.

"Then our crew will have two days off? We haven't had a good time in Sanya since we started filming."

Chen Minghao and Tian Yu hit it off and suggested.

"Of course it's no problem. Everyone on the crew will take two days off. When I come back, we will continue the rest of the work."

Lin Nan readily agreed. Not only the leading actors, but also all the supporting staff including lighting, scene notes, props, etc. needed to take a good two days of rest.

Gao Yuanyuan has relatively few scenes. Lin Nan ended her scene early and let her go to the filming of "Baby Project".

According to the original plan, this has been advanced nearly two weeks. Gao Yuanyuan is very grateful to Lin Nan and promises that she will be on call when the movie is promoted.

Now there are three men, two women, and five leading actors on the set.

…

Lin Nan got on the plane and returned to Beijing.

"Are all great directors so good at choosing premiere venues?"

Looking at the newspaper he got from the flight attendant, Lin Nan couldn't help but complain.

Chen Kaige set the venue at the CPPCC Auditorium, and even held a rehearsal for the premiere. Lin Nan could only say that he knew how to play!

Nicholas Tse is an actor highly praised by the British film industry. Four directors are competing for the Lunar New Year film. He is included in two films. One is the lead actor and the other is the third actor. All I can say is that he is lucky.

When he returned to Beijing this time, Lin Nan notified the company in advance that they would drive to pick him up, so he didn't need to worry about the reporters' cameras.

There are two domestic airports where reporters stay all year round: the capital and Shanghai.

After waving to friends from the media, Lin Nan got into the car.

"I remember, isn't Director Lin filming a new film in Sanya? The premiere of "The Promise"?"

"This can only be the case. For Director Chen's 350 million blockbuster film, 80% of the country's filmmakers have to be involved, and they all have to have status."

In the car, Lin Nan listened to the employees' reports. China Film had sent a formal invitation letter to the company, and then called Lin Nan.

Director Chen was not convinced that Zhang Yimou could play "Hero", so he thought about making a movie that was equally good or even better. When he met Han Sanping, who was determined to become bigger and stronger, it was done!

After three years of careful planning, the cost rose to 350 million, and "The Promise" co-starred by six box office celebrities from China, Japan and South Korea was born.

Whether it is the media, officials, or the film and television industry, they all agree that "The Promise" has all the necessary factors for a successful commercial film and is waiting to be released.

"I've forgotten the content. I just want to watch it again tomorrow."

Lin Nan even thought it was funny when he had this idea.

…

Among the four movies, "The Promise" was undoubtedly the most popular, with tickets for the premiere going for 1,880 yuan.

The premiere of "The Promise" was scheduled to be shown in the evening, which meant that it would have to be done very late.

Tian Zhuangzhuang learned about Lin Nan's return and called him to school.

"How is the filming going?"

"Everything goes well. It will be completed in just over a week."

Lin Nan replied while drinking Tianzangzang's expensive black tea.

"You performed very well this time." Tian Zhuangzhuang suddenly said with a smile.

"Teacher, are you talking about Senior Brother Lu?"

Lin Nan also heard about it. After the Golden Rooster, Lu Chuan continued to criticize the Golden Rooster. From time to time, he would pull it out and say that the judges were fishy, ​​treated the entries seriously unfairly, and disrespected the guests...

On the contrary, Lin Nan almost didn't talk about it after the Golden Rooster ended, and Gu Changwei's side also didn't make any news about it.

"Yes, this matter has affected the school..."

Tian Zhuangzhuang said something and then looked at Lin Nan, "I'm going to attend Chen Kaige's premiere tomorrow. If you can't make a comment, don't make it."

Lin Nan didn't expect Tian Zhuangzhuang to say this, "Teacher, what do you mean?"

"I think his film is too fake and empty. He just wants to tell you some of his own truths. He doesn't explain it well, but he wants to make it mysterious."

Lin Nan opened his mouth and was speechless. He thought to himself: "You are the only one of the same generation who can say this. Who else dares to say this?"

"Aren't you going?" Lin Nan asked.

"Not going."

…

I haven't seen Ning Hao for more than half a month. This guy is unshaven.

"I've been working hard these days to shoot a short film, so I don't have time to worry about the image."

Ning Hao looked in the mirror and shaved.

"After you attended the premiere, you immediately flew back to the set?"

"Yes."

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Nan and Ning Hao arrived at the CPPCC auditorium.

From a distance, the two saw nearly a hundred warriors in red robes holding swords, guns and other weapons, standing neatly on the square outside the auditorium.

On both sides of the 100-meter red carpet are dense forests of crabapple flowers. White lanterns hang above the forest, and two oversized "The Promise" banners hang at the entrance of the auditorium.

A large number of fans gathered around, holding various signs in their hands: "Zhang Dongjian International Film Club", "Ye Se Tan Ren"...

The two walked onto the red carpet and were shocked by the begonia flowers on both sides. It looked like the flowers were made of silk. It was so luxurious.

"Director Lin and Director Ning, please come here."

Following the receptionist, the two entered the auditorium.

The standards are only higher than the last premiere of "Myth".

Reporters, actors, celebrities, and many people from official organizations have already arrived at the auditorium.

Lin Nan saw Feng Xiaogang, Ge You and others at a glance. On the other side were directors such as Gu Changwei, Wang Xiaoshuai and Jiang Wen. There were also many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, and foreign media could also see them.

The handsome Huo Wenxi was chatting and laughing among a group of senior directors.

Almost everyone from the theater circuit came, and it seems that the film schedule will definitely not be low by then.

Lin Nan and Ye Ning nodded in greeting, and Mr. Wang from Huayi also waved.

These two companies received the investment amount for "Journey to the Center of the Earth" from Lin Nan. They both visited there not long ago and were very satisfied.

The crew of "The Promise" hasn't arrived yet, but the host of the party is already in place, Wang Han.

This occasion is Vanity Fair, and all kinds of people come over to chat with you and care about your movie. Lin Nan has long been able to handle this kind of scene adroitly.

Suddenly, they heard loud noises from the crowd outside, and people in the auditorium instantly knew that the crew of "The Promise" had arrived.

"Tingfeng" overshadowed "Dongjian" and was overwhelmed by "Kashiwazhi". Fans were extremely excited.

Lin Nan and others walked out of the auditorium and saw the "Wuji Gate" standing on one side of the square, with the host standing at the door.

Nearly a hundred white-robed warriors holding spears and wearing silver helmets roared and rushed to one side of the "Wuji Gate", while the other red-robed warriors rushed to the other side.

Two teams of warriors lined up, waiting for those in the motorcade at the end of the red carpet.

Chen Kaige and Chen Hong came out first, making a "V" sign with their hands, then smiled and held hands, and walked onto the red carpet.

Zhang Bo wore a black velvet low-cut evening dress, followed closely by Nicholas Tse, Liu Ye, Zhang Dongjian, and Hiroshi Sanada who stepped onto the red carpet. Fans on both sides screamed one after another.

As the fireworks exploded, Mr. and Mrs. Chen said with high spirits: "The Promise loves you! I love audiences around the world! Support the development of our film industry!" and then walked into the auditorium from the fireworks.

"Lin Zi, Director Chen, is this too much?"

Ning Hao swallowed his saliva and whispered.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Lin Nan replied, there are too many people here, but this appearance is indeed a bit coquettish.

Chen Hong is indeed a beauty and has not faded yet.

The seven main creators sat down, and there was a word behind each one. Chen Kaige was obsession, Chen Hong was betrayal, Liu Ye and Zhang Baizhi were freedom and love, and Xie, Zhang and Sanada Hiroshi were desire, commitment and destiny.

The host asked a few people to explain the meaning of these words in the play. The others all started from the movie "The Promise", except Chen Kaige.

"Infatuation! In this world, I am most obsessed with two things: my obsession with "The Promise" that I filmed with Chen Hong; and my obsession with Chen Hong."

Then he looked at Chen Hong and repeated what Man Shen said to Xiao Qingcheng in the play, "...You can get the best food and power in the world...but you can't get true love. Are you willing?"

"I no longer care or don't care. I have already gained two sons and Chen Kaige."

As soon as Chen Hong finished speaking, the audience burst into applause. While applauding, Lin Nan said that she couldn't stand it and had goosebumps.

A reporter cautiously asked questions about the interview that made Chen Kaige leave the interview angrily two days ago.

This time Director Chen was a bit more cheerful, "Box office means performance, good box office means we will do better in the future..."

During the magic show, the two sons of Chen Kaige and Chen Hong were "transformed" as a surprise, and there was another heartwarming family scene. Chen Hong's birthday was approaching.

It wasn't until half past seven that the movie officially started.

"When we humans were young, we lived with God..."

"Does anyone want to see what I'm wearing under my cloak?"

"Does anyone else want to see what I'm wearing under this dress?"

…

"It's very beautiful, Zhang Baizhi's allure." Ning Hao said.

"Do you understand?"

Lin Nan looked at the big screen and asked casually.

Ning Hao was stunned for a few seconds, "I'm telling the truth, don't laugh at me."

"Say it." Lin Nan's mouth twitched, waiting for Ning Hao's answer.

"I really didn't understand it. There were a lot of techniques used in it, but I didn't understand the whole story. There were a lot of fictitious things added in."

Ning Hao said this quietly enough.

"Shh..., stop talking, I do the same."

Lin Nan replied, but still had a few words left in his mind, "Just wait two years."

For the leader: Haha, I’ll add more updates too!

Seeking determination!
