At eight o'clock in the evening, Dongfanghong Square was still brightly lit, and at least thousands of citizens gathered around the red carpet venue, and each of them was in high spirits and with high expressions.

If you go back a few years, it's unthinkable.

When Li Yadong first came to the capital, there was no one on the street at 8 o'clock in the evening? The lights in most residents' homes were turned off.

The times are developing, people's living standards are improving, and everyone is cherishing the daily activity time more and more, so the night is gradually shortened.

The bright red carpet aisle is full of lights, and everyone is watching.

Next to the signature board at the finish line, the four hosts began to explain the background of the establishment of the Cultural Week, began to eulogize the policy care of the party and the government, and began to introduce the specific process of the Cultural Week.

At the same time, two spotless black dragon cars slowly drove into the venue and stopped at the beginning of the red carpet passage under the eyes of everyone.

The doors are opened......

"Oh, dear friends, our first group of guests has been welcomed on the starlight red carpet......" The magnetic voice of the male host sounded in the venue.

"Yes, this is the heroes who made our first Film and Television Entertainment Culture Week a success......" The sweet voice of the hostess continued.

"Friends, let us welcome the arrival of several people with the warmest applause, they are: **** deputy director...... , Deputy Director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau...... , Executive Vice Mayor of the Capital Municipal Party Committee...... , Director of the Municipal Staff...... , Chairman of Dongfanghong Group, Li Yadong......"

With the introduction of the host, the applause at the scene was thunderous, in the end, the people should really thank these bigwigs, if it were not for them, there would naturally be no cultural week activities.

Li Yadong felt that he was stained with the light of several leaders, walking side by side on the red carpet with them, accepting the loving and awe-inspiring eyes of thousands of citizens.

This was followed by a brief unveiling ceremony, in which several guests pulled open the silver curtain on the high platform, and a round of golden "sun" appeared in the eyes of everyone, which was inlaid on a white marble pedestal to fix it.

This is the symbol of China Film and Television Entertainment Culture Week - the flow of gold.

Tailor-made by well-known domestic designers for the Cultural Week, it has multiple meanings, representing not only the organizer Dongfanghong Group, but also the film film, and also the vinyl.

Li Yadong and his entourage left the scene after doing this, although the hosts wanted to interview them, but there was no such process in the plan, so they didn't dare to make claims.

And at this time, tonight's climax has just begun.

"Oh-"

The scene suddenly erupted in cheers, ten times more lively than Li Yadong and them just now?

"Huh...... Friends are so enthusiastic, our second group of guests has already started to walk on the red carpet......"

"I don't think enthusiasm is enough, dear friends, cheer, let us greet the triumph of the hero with the fullest enthusiasm......"

"Oh-oh-"

Under the stimulation of the host, the sound of the scene was like a mountain and a sea, one higher than the other.

Hero?

Yes.

It is no exaggeration to use these two words to describe the group of people who are walking on the red carpet.

Because they ...... It's the crew of "Farewell My Concubine"!

They had just returned from the United States and brought back a shocking number - 522.

$5.22 million!

This is "Farewell My Concubine", which was just released in the United States at the beginning of the year, and the super high box office in the United States.

And what this number represents behind is not only wealth, but also a kind of glory, a symbol, a kind of counterattack......

Also this year, China imported its first American blockbuster, "The End of the World" starring Harrison Ford, which was released in China in the form of a movie account, and swept away 25 million cash from Chinese.

Americans laughed, thinking that the Chinese's money is really easy to earn, and a movie that has become popular in the United States is hard to find here.

However, before the smile on their faces ended, director Chen Kaige took "Farewell My Concubine" to the American market.

5.22 million US dollars, close to 40 million yuan!

The Americans were shocked, and it was just a literary film made on a small budget......

Why is it so scary?

Chinese filmmakers have proved a truth with facts: even if the technology is backward and it is impossible to make an action blockbuster like Hollywood, in terms of cultural output, how can the Celestial Empire, which has a vast civilization of 5,000 years, be compared to a "small country" with a history of 200 years?

When the Yankees were still coveting the huge market of China and thought that it was completely an ATM, "Farewell My Concubine" gave them a slap in the face.

In fact, before that, "Farewell My Concubine" had proven its unparalleled charm.

Last year, "Farewell My Concubine" was invited to participate in the Cannes Film Festival and won its highest honor, the Palme d'Or!

It proves to the world the great potential of Chinese cinema.

It's a pity that this time, Cheng Dieyi didn't come, which made many citizens quite disappointed.

But this mood only lasted for a short time, and with the stop of the two Dragon Soar Royal Cars, the scene once again resounded with enthusiastic cheers.

"Oh, it's our Director Zhang who came with his "Alive" crew......"

"Alive", Lao Mouzi and Uncle Ge's gold teamed up, although the film was not released, it did not hinder its value and glory.

Uncle Ge won the name of international actor in one fell swoop with this film and won the Best Actor Award at the 47th Cannes Film Festival.

It captures an era, a poignant, and a soul......

At this time, Uncle Ge was still a handsome guy, with a well-proportioned figure and thick hair, and many female citizens screamed wildly wherever he passed.

Originally, they didn't do such crazy things, but the dark night gave them a good cover. They express their love for their idols hoarsely in the dark.

(Uncle Ge: Who hasn't been an idol yet?)

Wonderful, still going on.

"Oh, friends of love, your Ma Xiaojun and Yu Beibei are here......"

The third one to appear on the stage was the crew of "Sunny Days" led by Jiang Wen, and the young Xia Yu, Tao Hong, and Geng Le followed closely behind him.

Although this movie is Jiang Wen's debut group, once it came out, it amazed the world. In 1997, it even appeared in Time Magazine, where it was selected as "one of the seven most amazing films in the world of 1996 that I still want to watch."

It was released in China on New Year's Day this year and was also a huge success, employing a technique similar to Fellini's "Eight and a Half Parts"-style blend of reality and fantasy. Seeing that the Chinese people are like a dream, many people are even surprised to find that the original movie can still be made like this!

Jiang Wen became famous with this film and was recognized as a genius director in the industry.

"Dear friends, are you excited? I can't believe that our excellent organizer can invite all three crews and arrange them to ...... together."

The hostess's exclamatory voice came from the venue, and the joy in it did not seem to be fake, and even she was already excited.

Yes, "Farewell My Concubine", "Alive", and "Sunny Days", the three epic pinnacles of Chinese films, are gathered today.

It's an exciting time indeed.

Audience, boiling!
