On December 4, before the start of the new film, Tang An went to Huairou China Film Digital Production Base to participate in the world premiere ceremony of "Mei Lanfang".

Now there are more and more premieres, and most blockbusters disdain to hold premiere ceremonies in movie theaters.

At first, it was popular in gymnasiums, and the place was large and imposing.

Later, the Great Hall of Good and Evil, the National Center for the Performing Arts, Chaoyang Park...

But this is the first time that I went to the suburb of Huairou and held a premiere at the China Film Digital Production Base.

I have to say that Brother Chen Kai is Brother Chen Kai, and a "Wuji" did not squander his reputation.

When Tang An arrived, the scene was no less than that of "Shocking Demon Thieves" and "Red Cliff".

A "Farewell My Concubine" put him on the altar and stayed on it for more than 20 years.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, before it was completely dark, a large group of fans outside the venue were on both sides of the red carpet, and a large number of reporters were constantly taking pictures.

Chen Kaige's movies, almost all the filmmakers and actors in the circle are here.

Tang An straightened his suit and stepped on the red carpet with a smile.

Waved as he walked, and occasionally stopped for reporters to take a photo and sign a fan.

After walking for almost a minute, when I arrived at the interview area in front, I could see many acquaintances surrounded by reporters.

Before he could stand still, reporters immediately surrounded him.

Maybe there are a lot of big names today, or maybe he knows that if Tang An doesn't want to open his mouth, he won't be able to pry out any useful news, so the reporter didn't worry, and actually asked one by one.

"Hello Director Tang, how is the preparation of "Chinese Partner", when will the filming start?"

"The film is ready and filming is expected to start in a few days. ”

"There are three leading actors in the movie, can you reveal who has the most scenes?"

The actor candidates have been announced since they were successfully recorded, and there is nothing to hide.

Tang An's film has had two heroines and a team of four, and this is the first time for these three male protagonists.

And as for Wang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, and Lu Yi, who is the male number one, it has also caused some speculation.

However, there are still more guesses about Wang Xiaoming and Deng Chao, after all, Lu Yi has not made any achievements on the big screen.

However, there are still a lot of Lu Yi's fans during this period, Tang An has always been famous for taking an unusual path, and no one can be sure.

The fans of the three parties have been noisy during this time, which can be regarded as promoting the movie in disguise.

However, Tang An will definitely not announce who is the male number one, let alone now, even after the movie is released, it will not come out of his mouth.

It is to let the media guess, let fans and fans fight.

"Everyone knows from the title of the film, this is the story of three young people who partner to start a business, and the three of them are the protagonists, and there is no distinction between No. 1 and No. 2. ”

Tang An calmly dealt with the reporter, and it took about five or six minutes for the reporter to let him in.

When they arrived at the infield, Chen Kaige, Lin Sheng, Vice President Yinghuang and others were greeting.

"Hello Director Chen. ”

"Brother Lin, Mr. Li. ”

"Director Tang is here, please inside. ”

Brother Chen Kai smiled faintly and asked Tang An to go in first.

Tang An shook his head secretly, Brother Chen Kai didn't seem to be very friendly to him.

The three major domestic directors have met several times, and Zhang Yimou is very kind to himself.

Feng Xiaogang didn't communicate much when he first went to Huayi, but his eyes weren't friendly.

Tang An probably understands that Zhang Yimou is in the limelight, the number one director in China, and the chief director of the Olympic Games, and he doesn't think that he, the junior who has been in the limelight in the past two years, can threaten him.

Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet" was not ideal at the box office at that time, if it wasn't for the overseas copyright sales, the loss would be certain.

His "Super Body" was a great success again, with a good reputation, and the box office was higher than "Night Banquet".

At that time, Feng Xiaogang must have felt a hint of threat, but with the explosion of "Assembly Number", he overturned "Casting Names" starring the three superstars, and beat "The Wind" to win the annual box office championship, so he naturally regained his confidence and could say a few words to Tang An in private.

And Chen Kaige is different, when he was frustrated because of "Wuji", he happened to encounter Tang An's rise, and he naturally didn't feel good in his heart.

People are like this, and big people are not exempt from vulgarity.

Tang An didn't care, Brother Chen Kai would not be an opponent at all in the future.

Of course, I went to Han Sanping first, the biggest investor in this film is China Film, and Han Sanping still values Chen Kaige very much.

"Hello Han Dong. ”

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Liu, Mr. Wang......" The others also greeted them one by one.

After a few idle words, the others left with great eyes, leaving Tang An and Han Sanping behind.

"Han Dong, "Chinese Partner" will start in two days, and I will join the group at the agreed time in February. ”

Tang An got down to business directly, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" started filming in mid-November, and Tang An also participated in the launch conference as one of the directors, but the scene he was responsible for was in February and did not go with the crew.

"Then it's troublesome Director Tang, I'll call you again on a specific day, I hope it won't affect the shooting of your new film. Han Sanping said with a smile.

Tang An waved his hand and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter, it is estimated that I also ended filming in the mainland at that time, just to let the crew take a break." ”

It's strange to say that it doesn't matter, the filming of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" will last for 20 days, and the crew will have to take 20 days off, and employees will still have to be paid during this time.

Han Sanping asked with a smile again, "Why did Director Tang suddenly think of making a founding movie this time, do you have any ideas?"

Tang An smiled and said, "It's just the right time, that day I saw an interview with Ma Dong on TV, and found a copy of his autobiography, I was deeply inspired, so I thought about filming the growth history of a business tycoon......"

After chatting for a while, the premiere officially began, and Tang An sat in the first row, watching quietly.

In addition to the main creators and investors on stage, Chen Guochang is also there, he is one of the screenwriters.

The ceremony went on as usual, and Chen Kaige also talked about his recent book, telling his mental journey, and emphasizing that publishing a book is not fast food.

After a Peking Opera performance, the film officially begins.

This movie is a typical high start and low walk, the beginning is the peak, from the appearance of Xiao Mei Lanfang to the defeat of Thirteen Yan to Mei Lanfang.

The whole process is done in one go, the climax is continuous, the wonderful lines are endless, and the settings and personality charm of the characters are first-class.

Chen Kaige's aesthetic skills are even more hearty in this link, whether it is the restoration of the old capital or the setting off of the environmental atmosphere that blends with the emotions of the characters, it is very clear.

Supporting the opening "Farewell to Death" is definitely Wang Xueqi, the actor of Thirteen Yan, whose performance can be called the pinnacle.

Sun Honglei's portrayal of Qiu Rubai is also quite good, his performance is full of explosiveness, and he has a good grasp of some delicate emotions, which is also his personal performance characteristics.

The details are as small as a snuff box and as large as the New York theater in the 40s of the 20th century, which is also perfectly displayed.

Although Li Ming's performance is not perfect, it can score 7 points, and the biggest failure is Chen Kaige's control of the movie.

If you can score 9 points at the beginning and 8 points in the first half, then the lower half is estimated to be a passing score of 6 points, which is a serious drag.

And what's even more maddening is that this movie is two and a half hours long, I don't know what Chen Kaige thinks.

Originally, biographical movies are easy to be boring and boring, and they drag on for so long.

The beginning is so exciting, mobilizing the audience's emotions, and the audience begins to look forward to the more exciting plot below.

As a result, instead of anything more exciting, the level has been declining, which is even more disappointing.

It's like seeing the back of a beautiful girl on the road, with long flowing black hair, snow-white long legs that shine charmingly under the sun, an astonishing curved waist and a dolphin, and a walking posture that is so attractive.

As a result, at a positive glance, the appearance is mediocre, and it is still a pair of A's.

Instantly lost sexuality.

But overall, it's still a good movie, and it's worth the ticket price.
