On September 20, Tang An went to a cinema in Chaoyang District to attend the premiere of "The Sun Also Rises".

Jiang Wen's first film in 5 years since directing "The Devil is Coming" in 1999.

It was prepared in June 2005, completed in November 2006, and premiered nationwide on September 20, 2007!

As early as September 5, "The Sun Also Rises" premiered at the Venice Film Festival and was nominated for the Golden Lion Award, but in the end it failed to win the cup.

Anyway, Jiang Wen finally made movies again, and there were many audiences, reporters, and peers at the scene.

A director who hasn't made a film in 7 years, it's hard to imagine that he still has so many loyal audiences.

It's like, although he is no longer in the rivers and lakes, his legend is still circulating in the rivers and lakes.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be a "Let the Bullets Fly" become a god.

"Let the Bullets Fly" had a box office of 661 million, and even Feng Xiaogang's "Tangshan Earthquake" with 673 million + "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2" with 481 million yuan failed to overshadow him.

A man stepped onto the red carpet and strode inside, stopping occasionally to sign his name.

"Director Tang, what genre do you plan to shoot for your new film?" asked a fan with anticipation on his face while Tang An signed his autograph.

Tang An returned the autograph book to him and smiled slightly, "This will be kept secret for the time being, but this is still a brand new theme, I hope to go to the cinema to support a movie ticket when the time comes!"

"Then Director Tang's "Painted Skin" was directed by you?" asked a fan next to him loudly.

"Painted Skin" will also be directed by director Wu Ershan, who is also a very good director. ”

Now Tang An also has a considerable number of fans, at least more than some first-line stars at this scene.

As a behind-the-scenes worker, it is difficult for the number of fans to be as many as stars, except for the top directors who rely on movies with high box office and high reputation to slowly accumulate.

Signing autographs, nodding, and smiling all the way, I finally walked through the red carpet. There were several reporters blocking up.

"Hello Director Tang, may I ask if you and Hua Yi have fallen out?"

"Director Tang, why did you invest in "Painted Skin" with Berner?"

"It is said that Director Tang selected a student from the Modu Drama Academy to star in the new film when you were lecturing at the Beijing Film Academy, is this true?"

......

There was a lot of chatter, and with the cheers of those crazy fans behind him, Tang An could almost only see their mouths closing one by one, and he couldn't hear them clearly.

Tang An hurriedly pressed his hands to calm them down.

"Don't worry, I'm here to attend the premiere today, please keep order, don't affect the people behind!"

When the reporters saw that there were still celebrities coming in behind, they didn't want to delay too much time, so they consciously quieted down and took turns asking some questions.

"I am very happy to work in Huayi now, and there is no contradiction!"

""Painted Skin" is a very famous story in my country, and it is very well-known in China, and I am confident that this film will definitely satisfy the audience, so I cooperated with Berner and Ningxia Film Studio to invest in this movie!"

"As for the question of the new film, I did pick a student when I was lecturing at the Beijing Film Academy, and he is very suitable for a role in the film!"

......

Tang An answered the reporter's questions one by one, and there was nothing to hide, so he said it truthfully.

"Then Director Tang, are you dissatisfied with the Beijing Film Academy, why do you want to pick a student from a foreign school?" the reporter then asked.

"Of course not!" Tang An flatly denied.

"At that time, many students from schools went to attend classes, and I didn't know who was from which school, so I just chose the most suitable one according to the character requirements of the script. ”

"Aren't there so many students in the film academy who meet Director Tang's requirements?"

"It's not that their students are bad, it's just that they just don't fit the role in my play, the genre is different!"

"Then Director Tang, what type of new movie is you?"

"My new film is..."

Rub, I almost followed his words, but fortunately I reacted quickly!

Tang An continued, "This is a new category, a genre that has not been seen in the domestic film market at present, I hope the audience can like it!"

It's a new genre again!

The reporters knew in their hearts that they really wanted to change the genre of each movie.

But the type that has not been seen in the domestic market?

Science fiction has been filmed, so there are only a few categories of mythology, fantasy, and adventure that have not been filmed.

"Is Director Tang's new film a mythological genre, "Fengshen Bang" or "Journey to the West"?"

"No, I'll tell you when I turn it on. ”

......

After another interview, watching waves of celebrities go in, Tang An also stopped the interview and walked inside.

"It's not a myth, could it be that Tang An will go to fantasy?"

"It's impossible, can anyone watch a domestic fantasy film, the painting style is not right!"

Everyone automatically made up the "Lord of the Rings", which was full of oriental faces, and shook their heads one after another.

"Maybe it's an adventure theme, this genre should be able to be filmed, isn't there a "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series abroad?"

"It's not right, how can this kind of film find such a young student to shoot it, Zhang Hanyu is almost the same!"

"Forget it, don't guess, I have a hunch that Tang An will still play cards out of common sense this time!"

"It's good to be a normal commercial blockbuster, don't do anything about men and lilies in order to highlight art!"

"Forget about the man, Lily can do, it would be better if it could go deeper in detail, hehe!"

"Hey, hey... Hey, hey, hey......"

When I came to the screening hall, almost all the people came, and there were quite a few, it seems that Jiang Wen's influence in the circle is really not small.

The fifth-generation directors have several cores, and the entire Western film circle has arrived, and many filmmakers of the older generation have also come to cheer.

Fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, the whole four generations of directors are here, and the third generation of directors are too old at this time, and many of them can't go far.

"Hello Director Xie!"

"Hello Director Wu!"

"Hello Director Huang!"

"Hello Director Tian!"

......

Say hello one by one, and anyone who is twice as big as him uses honorific titles, after all, they are elders.

Jiang Wen stepped forward and patted Tang An's arm, "Tang An is here, the 700 million director, amazing!"

"Brother Wen said with a smile, if you can take more care of the audience's tastes, let alone 700 million, one billion will be sooner or later!" Tang An waved his hand and said.

Later, "Let the Bullets Fly" let people know that Jiang Wen could perfectly make a trade-off between art and commerce, but the later "One Step Away" returned to the old problem.

Jiang Wen still had to greet the others, so Tang An sat by himself and waited for the opening of the movie.

These people have nothing to do with him, but there are constantly some first- and second-tier stars and executives of various companies who take the initiative to talk.

is still the movie in my memory, divided into four short stories, 1 Li Dongfang's mother went crazy because of a pair of shoes and became a crazy mother, often doing some things like hugging sheep on trees, talking to cats, digging trees, digging stones, etc., which gave Li Dongfang a headache, and in the end, the crazy mother disappeared after building a White House, along with the new shoes she bought.

In a university in Beijing, Lao Tang had an affair with Dr. Lin, but Dr. Lin had a crush on Lao Tang's good friend, Mr. Liang, who loved to engage in romance. In the hospital bed, Mr. Liang knew Dr. Lin's feelings for him, and finally hanged himself on a water tower because of touching his buttocks.

Lao Tang and his wife were sent to that small mountain village in the south, and when they came, it was the day when the crazy mother disappeared, and the person who picked them up was Li Dongfang. Lao Tang went up to the mountains to hunt with his children in the village every day, but his wife had an affair with Li Dongfang in the "White House" and was broken by Lao Tang.

The fourth story is actually the beginning, with two women riding camels walking side by side. It was Tang's wife and the pregnant crazy mother, Tang and his wife got married, and at the wedding, Mr. Liang and the women laughed loudly and touched their butts from time to time. The crazy mother who was pregnant with Liujia went to claim her husband's relics, and in the morgue where there was no body, she muttered to herself, and on the train back, Li Dongfang was born on the railway with flowers in full bloom.

Since then, the stories have been connected from beginning to end, and the entanglement after a few years seems to have been predestined, and the sun rises as usual.

Inexplicably, yes, that's how it feels when I watch it as a pastime.
