Chapter 309: Domestic Release

At the airport, the reporters surrounded Chen Shi and others, and all the cameras, microphones and other equipment were pointed at them, catching them off guard.

No one expected to be blocked at the airport, no one expected them to suddenly become so famous.

Being famous isn't entirely a good thing, at least for Chen Shi.

The so-called people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, if a person has a reputation, then his words and deeds will be concerned, and each of his words will be repeatedly interpreted by others, and the difference between people is very big, even if it is the same sentence, a word, each person's interpretation is different, therefore, he says a word, others are likely to hear the meaning is completely opposite to his own wishes.

Language is a tool for communication between people, but language is not omnipotent, only spiritual communication can achieve perfection, but spiritual communication is too magical, too idealistic, too utopian, therefore, language replaces communication.

The reporter first asked Chen Shi and Li Yalian: "How do you feel about winning the award?"

Chen Shi smiled into the microphone and said, "Of course I'm very happy, very surprised, I didn't expect it at all." ”

The reporter asked: "When will the movie be released in China? Do you have any expectations for the box office?"

Chen Shi replied again: "It will be released soon, don't worry, you can go to the cinema to see it when the time comes, and I also ask my media friends to help promote the movie, so that more people will know about this movie, let the box office of this movie fly, and everyone will go to see it when the time comes." ”

Interviews are actually a very boring thing, reporters ask nonsense questions, answers are all nonsense, basically there is no substantive content, maybe a news can be a special interview, a sentence can write a special report.

But there are viewers who are willing to watch, there is no way, everyone has to eat, since there are viewers who like to watch nonsense, then the reporter has the motivation to write, since the reporter wants to write, of course he has to ask, the reporter asks, of course he has to answer, a person who does not answer the reporter's question is not very polite, of course, there are not very polite reporters chasing people and asking non-stop.

Chen Shi asked him the most, and the reporter also asked him first, and then Li Yalian answered a few small questions, and finally interviewed the leading actors, and when the reporter interviewed the leading actors, Chen Shi and Li Yalian took the opportunity to sneak out, and then got into a taxi, went straight to the house that Chen Shi bought in the capital, left the actors at the airport, and let the reporter torture slowly.

After the two got into the taxi, they blushed and breathed a sigh of relief, snored in horror, and then urged the driver to drive.

Li Yalian said: "I'm scared to death, so many reporters surrounded me at once, at first I thought something big had happened, but I didn't expect them to wait for us here, it's really unexpected." ”

Chen Shi sighed slightly: "You will get used to it in the future, I'm afraid you will have to pay attention when you go out in the future, it is very likely that reporters will follow you every day, even if you go to the mall, you have to follow behind to take a few photos." ”

After becoming famous, of course, they became the prey of reporters, and some very persistent reporters even violated people's rights in order to track down a person who could obviously go without sleep for days and nights, and could keep an eye on them 24 hours a day.

Of course, Li Yalian didn't like reporters to follow her, so she said anxiously: "What should I do then?

Chen Shi nodded, thought for a while and said, "It seems that I want to find you a few bodyguards to deal with reporters when you go out, otherwise, there will really be no freedom." ”

It is often the journalists who shout the slogan of freedom, but it is ironic that it is the newspaper reporters who do not give people freedom.

The taxi jumped on the highway, quickly entered the city, and then arrived at the North Third Ring Road in less than half an hour, Li Yalian has not been here, this is the first time, Chen Shi has not come after buying a house, therefore, he took Li Yalian to come to see, it is estimated that they will often come to live here in the future, because the future business is big, and the future work may have to be in the capital.

Filming movies in China, if you are not in Hengdian, of course, the first choice is Beijing, there are two most famous acting schools in Beijing, one is Chinese opera, one is Beijing Film, these two schools have taught a lot of stars, for example, the famous international Zhang is a Chinese opera, for example, the famous Xiaoyanzi is a student of Beijing Film, of course, these are just two representatives, and there are many, many more.

In addition to the film school, of course, there are film studios, not to mention Huairou, there are several film studios in the North Third Ring Road alone, Bayi, and Beiying and so on.

Therefore, here, it is not difficult to find people or shooting locations, whether it is framing or building a studio, there is no problem, some are people, some are technology, it can be said that the most advanced film technology in China can be found here.

Take a walk around the North 3rd Ring Road and you'll find plenty of photography rental companies that specialize in renting out cameras, providing professional photographers and assistants, and more. Of course, except for the camera, all the camera equipment can be rented and can be found, even if you don't have talent, but as long as you have money, you can quickly get a camera crew out.

Although Chen Shi has a lot of business, he can't manage it, of course Li Yalian won't take care of his business, but concentrate on making movies, therefore, Chen Shi also revolves around his wife, and helps Li Yalian get everything, therefore, as long as Li Yalian wants to set up a crew in the future, then he will come to help, so it is very convenient to have a house in the capital, otherwise, it is not good to stay in a hotel every time you come over.

The hotel is not a safe place, and it can be seen in many news in later generations, and many hotels are equipped with secret cameras to shoot the intimate actions of couples or couples. Of course, there are also health conditions to ask him, a lot, it can be said that although the hotel is fast, but many times it is really unsafe.

There is no doubt that your home is the safest place in the world, and what safer place could be than your own home?

Chen Shi took Li Yalian to the house that he had just purchased, the two looked around, Li Yalian was very satisfied, and then the two were ready to live here for a few days before returning to Lincheng.

Xiao Gao called and asked where the two of them were now, Chen Shi laughed and said, "You don't have to worry about me, we will go back at home, and the reporter didn't embarrass you?"

Xiao Gao said dissatisfiedly: "You two are not interesting enough, you don't say a word when you leave, let us be surrounded by reporters, they keep asking me where you went, I said I don't know, but they don't believe it, they have been refusing to let me go, in the end there is really no way, I just said that you are staring at people at home, what does it matter to me? I don't know them well, they are bosses, I am a part-time worker, how will I know where they go? Later, the reporters had no choice but to leave. ”

Chen Shi laughed after hearing this, looked gloating, and said: "Okay, don't worry about the reporter's business, you go back to Lin City now, ready to release our movie, this is our first movie, we have done everything that needs to be done, and you will do all the rest, you can work hard!"

Xiao Gao sighed and said: "Life is hard! This is the life of a wage earner, the boss said a word, I ran and broke my leg, and I couldn't get any benefits, I said why are you so good?"

Chen Shi smiled again: "Then you have to work hard and strive to become the boss as soon as possible, otherwise you will have to run away for me for the rest of your life." ”

Xiao Gao snorted dissatisfied, and then hung up the phone.

Li Yalian just took a shower and asked Chen Shi what the situation was, Chen Shi briefly explained it, Li Yalian asked when the movie would be released, Chen Shi shook his head and said that it would depend on how Xiao Gao arranged.

The two stayed here for a day before returning to Lincheng, and when their parents and older siblings knew about their awards, the whole family came to see their trophies when they got home.

Parents are concerned about what kind of award this trophy is, how much value this trophy is, Chen Shi is bitter, dry mouth, finally introduced the origin of the Cannes Film Festival, said that this award is very famous, said that this award has a long history, said that this award has been recognized by people all over the world.

However, his parents' words made his show-off come to naught, and his mother said meaningfully: "It's useless, when the vase is put to see, it's not worth a few dollars, and it's a trip in vain." ”

After listening to his mother's words, Chen Shi sighed, now the old people are so realistic? My father comforted him for a while, and even praised him a few words, but he was not optimistic about this award, Cannes was too far away for them, this strange place, this awkward name made the second elder a little inexplicable, a little unclear, so, of course, he was not optimistic about the trophy taken by the Cannes Film Festival.

But the little sister Chen Ying was so excited, she praised Chen Shi and Li Yalian, and asked them for roles, saying that since her brother and sister-in-law can win awards for making movies, then she will not worry about no one looking for her to film in the future, and no one will support her if she doesn't shoot in the future.

In this regard, Chen Shi said sternly: "You first get admitted to a good art school, Chinese opera or Beijing Film must be admitted to one anyway, otherwise, with your three-legged cat kung fu, let alone being the protagonist, you can't afford to play a supporting role." ”

Of course, Chen Ying was not convinced, and said that she would definitely be admitted, and she would definitely impress them, and she must be promising.

Chen Shi said: "Then I'll wait to see a good show, let me tell you, I have bought a house near the school, if you are admitted, you don't have to live in the school, if you can't pass the exam, then continue to take the exam, when you will be admitted to go to school, if you can't pass the exam for the rest of your life, you just think about whether you should do it or just give up." ”

When Chen Ying heard this, her brother really came, and he didn't give her a chance to choose at all, this was a prelude to the first cut, so that she could only rush forward, and there was no way back. However, she doesn't want to go back, since she became a big star accordingly, she has never given up this dream, and has always been delusional about standing on the big stage and all the fans roaring in shock.

A few days later, Xiao Gao arranged the release time, scheduled for the summer of this year, that is, it will be released in two months, the time seems to be very tight, but in fact, it is not nervous at all, because the movie has already been made, if it is not for the film festival, it can be released last year, and now in the summer file, there is no feeling of rushing into battle at all, it can be said that it is already full of momentum and ready to go.

Of course, Chen Shi will not have any opinions, but Xiao Gao made him a little unhappy about letting him participate in the promotion, but he still agreed for the sake of the box office, of course, Li Yalian also had to participate, otherwise he would not be able to support the stage alone.

Also, the main actors should also be invited, roadshelds, activities, and publicity, which is the obligation of actors.

Xiao Gao arranged everything, Chen Shi was very relieved, but Xiao Gao said to Chen Shi: "I think you have to find someone to replace me." ”

Chen Shi didn't know why, and asked suspiciously: "You don't do it, what's wrong? Do you really want to be your own boss?"

Xiao Gao shook his head and said: "You misunderstood, I'm fine now, but I'm too busy, you know, my ideal is to be a director and shoot blockbusters, so if I concentrate on making movies, I can't be busy, there are so many things in the company, I can't be a director, a manager, and a producer." ”

When Chen Shi heard this, he immediately understood that Xiao Gao was going to concentrate on shooting movies, and he asked Xiao Gao: "Have you prepared the script, what kind of movie do you want to shoot?"

Xiao Gao said that he was still thinking that when he finished writing the script, he would be ready to start up and form a crew, so at this time, he hoped that Chen Shi would quickly find someone to help him, and it would be good to hand over now, otherwise it would be too late to temporarily hold on to his feet.

Chen Shi nodded and said: "I don't have a suitable candidate, in this way, you look for it first, if there is a suitable one, recommend one to me to see, if I think it is good, I will use it, if not, we will go to the market to recruit, this year, as long as the salary and benefits are sufficient, there is no one who cannot be invited." ”

Xiao Gao said that he would pay attention to it, of course, he also had to pay attention to Chen Shi by the way, and the two of them went to find it at the same time, so it would be good to have a comparison when the time came.

Chen Shi agreed with him, and then asked him to concentrate on writing the script, and asked him to read it to him as soon as he finished writing.

Of course, Xiao Gao will not disagree, Chen Shi is the boss, if the boss does not read the script and invests in filming indiscriminately, who will be responsible for the loss? Therefore, it is very ordinary to read the script to the boss.

Time flies quickly, and soon it's time for the premiere, Chen Shi and Li Yalian dressed up carefully and prepared to attend the premiere, this is a domestic premiere, of course, you have to be very serious, you have to be careful.

Success or failure is in one fell swoop, whether the domestic audience recognizes it or not, it depends on today's performance, if everyone feels unhappy and unsightly after watching it today, then the box office may not be too ideal.

However, Chen Shi and Li Yalian are confident, although they are not shooting traditional martial arts films, but they believe that as long as they are Gulong fans, they will definitely recognize it, and a movie recognized by a group of people will not be too bad at the box office.

What's more, commercial films are not as developed as later generations, so their martial arts movies with literary emphasis will definitely have a bit of a market, and the box office should not be too bad.

The premiere is in Lincheng, which is specially arranged by Chen Shi, because Lincheng is his hometown and his base camp, which will correspondingly drive the development of Lincheng, he can't rely on him alone, and he also needs other industries to settle in Lincheng, so he thought of using this premiere to help Lincheng advertise for free, and even, he thought about establishing a film and television city in Lincheng in the future.

This idea is very interesting, because the landscape of Lincheng is very beautiful, and the framing is definitely better than that of the capital.

Of course, this is just an idea, if you really want to do it, I don't know how many years it will take to stand up, Hengdian has gone through more than ten years to get to the current scale, if it is Lincheng, there is no own characteristics, there is no preferential policy, he believes, it is estimated that it will take 20 years to get up.

At that time, the daylilies were cold. Therefore, Chen Shi thought that if his film company was rooted in Lincheng and all filming was preferentially in Lincheng, then maybe there would be a fight.

As a result, he urgently needs to expand his current film company, recruit more directors, set up a brokerage company, set up a professional shooting team, and set up a post-production special effects company.

Perhaps, he wants to open up all the joints of an industrial chain, so that Lin Cheng has a film industry chain, and he can rely on it to establish a film and television city.

He hasn't said this idea to anyone so far, and he just thinks about it in his heart, and he hasn't even planned it well, because although he knows that the future movies will be a golden age, he is not a professional person, so he doesn't understand many details, and he doesn't understand many things, and he is anxious to need a professional general manager.

A general manager is easy to find, but a general manager who meets his needs may not be able to find, so for several months, Chen Shi has not found a suitable candidate, and Xiao Gao does not either, therefore, the current film company is still managed by Xiao Gao, he has to create scripts while managing, which can be said to be very hard.

In this regard, Chen Shi can see it, but he can't help.

Xiao Gao didn't complain, while working, he secretly inquired about the news of talents, and at the same time recruited people through headhunting companies.

Just as the premiere was about to start, Xiao Gao received a call from a headhunter, saying that there was a suitable candidate, and asked him if he was willing.

Xiao Gao was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and asked the other party to send the information over first, and then he ran to Chen Shi to show off.

He came to Chen Shi and said, "What do you think about this person's choice? I let the headhunting company choose it, and I don't think it will be wrong." ”

Chen Shi took a brief look, it was not bad from the information, but he didn't know what the real situation was, he asked Xiao Gao to confirm the other party's ability first, to see if there was any error written on the information, if there was not too much error, then it would be appropriate, and then let Xiao Gao bring someone to meet him.

Kotaka took the order and left, and then the premiere officially began.
