Chongqing, a key city in the southwest, has a unique geographical environment and profound cultural heritage, and has been incorporated into Sacheon Province many times and has been separately classified as a municipality directly under the central government for many times, the last time was in 1997 when it was classified as an independent municipality until now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The city is also known as the mountain town, because the whole city is built on the mountain, and many of the streets are sloping, and if you stand on the first floor here, you can often see the residents of the fifth floor not far away from the street washing clothes, and this is even more evident in the recently built light rail system - if you take the city light rail, it is often running on flat ground one moment, and the next moment it is already flying in the air. There are also river slings in the city, and in general, for people with a fear of heights, this city that may let you fly in the air at any time is very scary.

Of course, if you're not afraid of heights, you're likely to fall in love with the city, because it's very different from other cities, both in terms of its unique geography and the cultural landscape that extends from it.

Especially for people from plain areas like Sujiang.

“…… This is not the first time I've been to this city, I've been here before when Ning Hao was filming,"

Duane moved away from a pedestrian on a rampage across the street, then approached his right and turned to the man next to him.

Duane was wearing big sunglasses and a white shirt, the cuffs were rolled up to his elbows because of the heat, and a good long-sleeved shirt was turned into a short-sleeved model, and on his legs was a pair of blue thin jeans, which looked like they had been washed white because of the style, and he looked a little shabby.

Next to him was a man in sunglasses, a little thin, almost a size thinner than Duane, with short sleeves and jeans. Although he can't see it wearing sunglasses, if someone who knows him can recognize that this is Jia Hongsheng from his figure.

The place where the two of them are now is a street, two lanes, which seems a little narrow, and it is very prosperous here, and there are many vehicles on the street, but they can't drive fast, and they are slowly moving forward.

The two of them walked on the sidewalk next to the driveway, one step higher, and there was no distinction between the right and the wrong, this and the opposite side of the traffic hedged against each other, blended into a mess, and the two were also submerged in the flow of people.

"At that time, I thought he really chose the right place, this place is really unique, I have been thinking about it since I went back, but last time I came in a hurry, this time I happened to have a little leisure, so I have to go out for a walk. ”

Du An introduced Jia Hongsheng, pointed to the road under his feet, and said: "For example, the road we are walking on now is a slope, and walking is like climbing a mountain, this situation I have only seen in Xiangjiang before." ”

The road under their feet now is indeed not flat, but falls all the way ahead, and the slope is very large, so that the original people walk unconsciously slow down, for fear of walking fast and unsteadily.

"So we also designed some small details, such as the car didn't brake properly, and as a result, it slid down the road and hit another car, so the two groups of people in the play intersected. There are many more details like this, which are all inspired by the city and can only be achieved by the city. ”

Du An and Jia Hongsheng are now coming to Chongqing with the crew's publicity lineup, while the publicity has not yet started, Du An, who still regrets the last trip to Chongqing, pulled Jia Hongsheng, who also expressed interest in the city, out for a walk, and after the makeup artist styled them, crooked their noses, fattened cheeks, and put on big sunglasses, they would not be recognized if they were not particularly familiar with them, and this is indeed the case, no one recognized the two walking on the street until now.

"In front is the Luohan Temple, where "Stone" was filmed, here is Chaotianmen, the largest wholesale market in Chongqing, and not far behind is the Liberation Monument. ”

Duane introduced him as skillfully as a local host, and if he hadn't listened to his accent, he would have been a reverberate.

"Generally, if you come to Chongqing, the first choice is to go to the Liberation Monument, but I prefer it here, because I don't know if I am in Nanyang or Chongqing in the Liberation Monument, and here I can deeply feel that I am in Chongqing......"

Jia Hongsheng is a person who is more introverted than Du An, so he just listened and didn't speak, and finally spoke after hearing this.

"Looks like you like this place?"

Duane nodded, "That's right. ”

The two walked forward while talking, and after Jia Hongsheng turned sideways to give way to an oncoming passer-by, he asked Du An: "Then can "Truman" be here?"

Duane shook his head without thinking about it, "No, how can you think that? I have already thought that "Truman" will be in Hengdian. ”

The voices of the two of them are very small, and it is good to keep each other as good as possible, but because it is a little crowded here, and they are very close to each other, there are oncoming pedestrians who vaguely hear "Hengdian" or something, and subconsciously look over, only to see a side face that is covered by sunglasses, and then the two of them walked over, only the back remained, so the passerby withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward.

Jia Hongsheng said while going downhill: "You let me stay on the schedule so early, but it hasn't started filming for so long, and now you're pulling me over to say how good this city is, it's hard not to think that you plan to start filming here." ”

"Truman's World" has booked Jia Hongsheng to play Truman as the leading actor, and Du An's special greeting to Jia Hongsheng for this reason, asking him to leave a gap for this.

Faced with Jia Hongsheng's misunderstanding, Du An explained: "The filming has not started for some other reasons, in fact, the preparation of the crew has been going on in the past few months, and it can start filming at any time, but I have been delayed for some personal reasons." ”

Jia Hongsheng also didn't ask what personal reasons were, and Du An took the topic on his own, "Today we are simply here to go shopping, after all, in the area of Sujiang, especially in Nanyang, I haven't been so free to wander around in crowded places for a long time." ”

Speaking of which, Du An's feelings are a little emotional: it is really true that the more people lack something, the more valuable they feel, just like shopping in a crowded place, which is very easy for most people, is so difficult for him, and even becomes a wish, and only when he arrives in Chongqing, while there are so many people who know him here, can he realize this wish with peace of mind.

Crowded in the crowd like now, listening to the dialect slang around him, and feeling the lively popularity, Du ane was very comfortable, and even his mind was clear for a while, and his thoughts were constantly inspired.

Sure enough, man is a social animal. ”

Du Ansighed with emotion, turned his head and saw a milk tea shop next to him, and ran over to buy two cups of milk tea on a whim.

It's the person next to him, if he can be replaced by Su Jin, it would be better.

Du An thought about it, took a sip of the milk tea in his hand through the straw, and then asked Jia Hongsheng on the side, "We haven't chatted like this for a long time, how are you now?"

Jia Hongsheng said: "It's okay, I took a few endorsements, filmed some advertisements, and made a movie, and I made some money, and now I have bought a new house in Beijin, which was just renovated a while ago and has been moved in." ”

Duane nodded, "That's good, you can work with peace of mind if you have the conditions." Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed, "I still remember that night when I came back from Xiangjiang, you sat at the door of my house and pronounced my name." You may not know that a stranger suddenly came to my house and obviously knew me, my first reaction was burglary, especially when my girlfriend was still at home, I even wondered at that moment if you kidnapped my girlfriend and waited for me to come back, almost beat you, thanks to your thin and weak, you don't seem to have much combat power, so I didn't strike first. ”

Jia Hongsheng was almost beaten until he was beaten now, smiled, and said, "It's all done irregularly, and it's okay now." ”

Duane looked sideways as he walked, "Well, I'm a little stronger now, but I can't be too fat, it's important to be in shape in this line." After speaking, he sighed and said, "I still remember that you didn't have a mobile phone at the time, and you still lived with your parents, and now life is finally getting better......"

As he spoke, Du An suddenly discovered one thing: although he had always been busy just for his own interests, but unconsciously, he had changed the fate of many people - if it weren't for him, Zhu Qian would be just a small street officer now, if it weren't for him, Su Yun would still be a live haunter, if it weren't for him, Jia Hongsheng wouldn't know when he would be able to regain the brilliance of his life......

His life has been unconsciously tied to many people.

The same is true of the upcoming "Liberation Day", which involves more people and things, and is not Duane's business alone.

Because of being put together by Shu Yu and Han Sanping, Du An's heart was somewhat frustrated and a little emotional, so now in the work of the national roadshow publicity, Du An's performance is competent and not trying his best - simply put, it is to cooperate with the work but don't expect me to play a leading role, I am here to cooperate with the work, although it is not called passive slacking, but it is not much better, but now after suddenly figuring out this link, Du An's thought of more......

After shopping, the two went back to the hotel, and in the evening, the promotional roadshow was held at the Grand Theater in the Chongqing Grand Theater, which was just completed this year. (Note 1)

The Grand Theater can accommodate more than 1,000 people in total, and when Du An's arrival, he found that in addition to the large and small media reporters, there were also many spectators sitting in the middle and back of the scene, looking at the banners they held, you can see that these audiences are Leung Jiahui, Gong Li, Zhu Qian and their fans - Du An's even saw someone holding a sign with his name in it, or a pink light sign, dotted with love next to it, looking very ashamed.

There are already fans supporting him on the spot (Note 2), and he is really different as a director.

The roadshow was carried out according to the previous routine, talking one by one, expressing opinions on this movie, talking about interesting things about their voices during the filming process, descriptions of their own characters, etc., of course, what everyone talked about was arranged in advance to make sure that there was no problem, to ensure that the content revealed was just some small details that had nothing to do with the plot, on the one hand, it satisfied the curiosity of the audience and the media, and on the other hand, it would not leak secrets.

On the way, there was a little episode on the stage, Jia Hongsheng, who had always looked cool, was coaxed by the princess to hug Zhu Qian on the spot, and finally had no choice but to hug it, Zhu Qian's face was still a little red when she jumped off him, and Du An's face was still a little red when she jumped off him, and Du An knew at a glance that she was not in the play and was still in a normal state of life - unlike him who could enter the play anytime and anywhere, Zhu Qian's performance method caused her to prepare for the play.

After everyone finished talking, they entered the media question session, and they asked some expected questions, and the named personnel answered the questions well.

Du An even thought of the news content after today: it was probably to describe the scene of the roadshow, explain a few questions, and then the climax of the article was probably Princess Jia Hongsheng hugging Zhu Qian and Zhu Qian blushing or something.

At this moment, a reporter named Duane to ask questions.

This is a female reporter with a round face, short hair, a sign on her chest, holding the microphone handed over and asking: "Hello Director Duane, I am a reporter from Chongqing Morning Post." We all know that "Liberation Day" is a main theme movie, and so is "Tokyo Trial", which was just released this month, but so far, "Tokyo Trial" has collected 72 million box office in China in two weeks, and there is no hope of recovering the cost, which can be described as a fiasco.

The venue was a little stagnant.

The previous question was almost all kind of hello, hello, everyone, but this question is a bit acute.

Duane held the microphone in his hand, looked at the female reporter, and did not speak for the time being.

Han Sanping was still smiling, his face unchanged, and Shu Yu's face was still poker, and his face did not change - they all believed that Du An could do a good job of perfunctory this question.

But they didn't know what Du Anxin was thinking at this moment.

Duane knows that this movie was released on September 1, and it has received 72 million in China in two weeks now, and its production cost is 50 million, which is because several big names in the film have deliberately lowered their value......

The main theme movie has always been the most unpopular genre abroad, and it has never been able to sell, so don't count on the foreign box office, and the domestic box office is only more than 70 million in the first two weeks, and the global box office may not even be able to break through 100 million as of the next painting, for a movie with a production cost of 50 million, the box office alone has already lost money, even if the income of the follow-up family market is counted, it is a little difficult to recover the cost.

This is another hit at the box office of the main theme movie, and the word-of-mouth is not very good, many people have commented that this movie is spacey, empty ideals and no technology. This reporter brought out "Tokyo Trial" because he thought that "Liberation Day" would not be much better? In particular, the investment in "Liberation Day" was several times that of "Tokyo Trial", and it is even more likely that he will not even be able to recover the original book.

If it was Duane before, he would probably use some empty words and clichés to perfunctory at this moment, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he swallowed back the words that came out of his mouth.

What happened a while ago, what happened today, Su Jin's words, Jia Hongsheng's things...... Too many things flashed through his mind.

Then he spoke.

"A lot of people have said something similar to me lately,"

Du An looked at the female reporter from a distance and said with a smile: "They said, ah, whoever is like you, who was also very popular back then, but as soon as he beat the main theme, it immediately failed." He can't do it, but you can still do it?"

No one needed to remind them, the scene suddenly fell silent, and the reporters were all wide-eyed like rabbits.

This is almost equivalent to directly naming Zhang Yi, as if they foresaw that something terrible was going to happen......

"And then someone said, ah, "Tokyo Judgment" is no longer good, Ben can't get it back, and he died,"

Speaking of this, Duane pointed at the female reporter and said with a smile: "Don't hide, I'm talking about you." ”

There was a low laugh at the scene, and the female reporter had to smile awkwardly, wishing that she could sit down immediately, but Duane was still talking.

"I've always heard you say this and that, and now it's time for me to talk about it,"

Han Sanping's face was a little wrong—he had an ominous premonition, but he didn't know what it was, and Shu Yu knew much better than him.

Shu Yu had already narrowed her eyes and began to think about how she should deal with the aftermath - she had experienced the escape incident of her sister among the directors at the premiere of "Pretty Woman", and she knew exactly how terrible this man was to go crazy.

Zhu Qian's expression was a little abrupt: the atmosphere at this moment was a little delicate, which reminded her of the night of the premiere of "Pretty Woman", before Duane jumped off the stage, the air was also smelling like this.

Everyone on the stage had different expressions, but Du An, who was smiling, holding the microphone, looked at the female reporter from a distance, and said slowly: "You asked me about the box office expectations? Then I'll tell you my expected box office." ”

"Three billion, one less cent, I, Duane, will wash my hands of gold and no longer be a director. ”

The scene fell into a deathly silence for a moment.
