On October 16, this is the premiere time of "My Father and Mother".

Before the movie was released, Zhou Bai had already communicated with Lao Mouzi by phone, and other people were in charge of some of the corresponding chores, and Zhou Bai only needed to participate at that time.

The biggest selling point of Zhang Yimou's new movie has always been himself, with Lao Mouzi's popularity, it is certain that he is the main publicity.

The actors of "My Father and Mother" are almost all new faces, although Sun Honglei is the leading actor, but the role is not much more than Zhou Bai, Zhang Ziyi is now quite famous, but when it comes to box office appeal, it is also equal to zero.

Zhang Ziyi's fame originally relied on the identity of Zhang Yimou's movie heroine, she had not had any works released before, where did she get the box office appeal, and now she is busy filming Li An's movie, and she can't squeeze out time to participate in publicity.

The title of Mou Girl is already being called, of course, there is another name, called Xiao Gongli, these are the titles given to Zhang Ziyi by the media, but no matter which one it is, it does not have box office appeal.

On the evening of the 15th, Zhou Bai and Zhang Yimou got together for a meal and agreed on the specific matters of the premiere of the movie.

Zhang Weiping's attitude towards Zhou Bai is still like that, he doesn't like it, it's lukewarm, and Zhou Bai doesn't take it to heart, he has something to do with Zhang Yimou, so he doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Zhang Weiping.

For Zhang Yimou, Zhou Bai is still very respectful, Zhang Yimou belongs to the kind of pure filmmaker, is also very kind to people, for Zhou Bai has the grace of support, he is willing to put his name on the movie "Chinese New Year's Eve Kiss", this is an adult favor, in any case, this favor Zhou Bai is in mind.

"The script of your movie is very well written, I didn't expect you to have such talent, the structure of the whole story is very complete, the narrative is also very smooth, work hard, there is a broader world waiting for you in the future. Lao Mouzi said with a sigh.

Zhou Bai sent the script to him, he didn't have time to read it at first, but when he picked it up and read it, even he was moved, he liked this story very much, and it was very different from the previous movies in terms of style, which was refreshing.

"Thank you for the director's encouragement, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, it turned out that I thought of this story when I was drinking with friends, and everyone was talking about movies at that time, so I agreed to simply write a script and try to shoot it, a small fight, not worth mentioning. Zhou Bai said with a smile.

"Whoever makes a movie starts with a small fight, at least your story is very complete, and there is no big problem in making a movie, although the film market is sluggish now, but after your movie is made, as long as the difference with the script is not too big, there may not be no chance to win the award. Zhang Yimou patted Zhou Bai's shoulder and encouraged.

"Hey, it's too difficult to say how to win the award, and it depends on how the final result is, and whether the overall style is suitable for the judges' taste, there is too much uncertainty. I just wanted to shoot it, and as for whether I could win the award, it wasn't my goal, I just wanted to shoot it well. Zhou Bai said with a wry smile.

It's hard to say that the film festival wins awards, one is the quality of the movie, and the other is the relationship, don't think that the film festival is so pure, the influential film festival, the thing considered is not just whether the film is good or not.

"If you don't win the award, it will be difficult for you to recover the investment cost, although tens of millions are not very much, but for a young person like you, it will hurt your muscles and bones if you lose, right?" Zhang Wei, who was on the side, said in a non-yang manner.

"It's not enough to hurt my muscles and bones, although I am not as rich as Mr. Zhang, but I still have this money, whether I lose money or not is another matter, maybe I am lucky, since I invested in movies, I have never lost money. Zhou Bai said lightly.

Although Zhang Weiping is a big businessman, he lost a lot of money at the beginning of investing in movies, and it was still Lao Mouzi's movie, at that time he didn't understand the distribution aspect, resulting in a loss of 20 million.

"Young people should not be too complacent, often walk by the river without getting their shoes wet, and think about everything they do, otherwise it will be too late to regret it when they fail. Zhang Weiping said with a slight sneer.

Lao Mouzi looked at the two of them, and didn't speak, Zhang Weiping didn't like Zhou Bai very much from the beginning, he knew about this matter, although Zhou Bai maintained politeness to Zhang Weiping on the surface, but he also kept his distance, as long as he didn't make too much trouble, he couldn't say anything.

For Zhou Bai, Zhang Yimou admires it very much, Zhou Bai's acting talent is excellent, and he is also willing to ponder the things to perform, from "My Father and Mother" to "National Anthem", growth can be seen, this kind of low-key and hard-working actor, he appreciates it very much.

As for his old partner Zhang Weiping, he can't say anything, although this person has many advantages, he also has a lot of problems, and his small heart is one of them.

"Mr. Zhang is right, there will always be ghosts when you walk too much at night, but I am still young and can afford to pay the price of failure, money is earned to be spent, and the money is used on the things I like, even if I lose, the degree of regret will be lighter than the failure of other things. Zhou Bai smiled, his confrontation with Zhang Weiping has never been the kind of tearing face, at most to this extent.

Zhang Weiping can't help Zhou Bai now, he has a very wide network in the film industry, but unfortunately a person like Zhou Bai is not only an actor, he has a relationship with Lou Ye and Jia Zhangke, and he is also an investor, even if he wants to do something, there is no place to start.

At most, it will ruin Zhou Bai's reputation, but in the film industry, Zhou Bai's reputation is definitely better than Zhang Weiping's, and his action against Zhou Bai will only make people laugh and bully juniors.

After chatting at the wine table for a while, Sun Honglei also arrived, and his main development direction is drama now, and he is in intensive rehearsal during this time.

When it comes to Sun Honglei's development, he is not embarrassed or embarrassed now, he is not willing to develop only in drama, but he has no good resources, and there is no particularly good development opportunity, so he is not embarrassed or embarrassed.

He now has a girlfriend named Ding Jiali, who met when he was rehearsing the drama "Marie Curie", the woman is 11 years older than him, and now he is in love, and some time ago "Marie Curie" was performed with great success, and this relationship is also known.

But now the sweet relationship lasted for two or three years, and finally ended in a breakup, and ten years later, the woman broke out a lot of bad remarks about Sun Honglei, anyway, it was a chicken feather.

Zhou Bai doesn't have any impression of Sun Honglei's things, it remains to be seen what Sun Honglei's character is, anyway, the two are acquaintances now, after all, they have cooperated in name, although they can't see each other in the crew.

Zhou Bai and Sun Honglei get along well, after all, they are both from the same school, and there are not many entanglements of interests, so let's get along like this anyway.
