Chapter 132: Your Uncle Is Your Uncle After All?
There are three major directors in the mainland.
Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang.
This criterion is summed up by the majority of Chinese people themselves.
Brother Chen Kai is a real big courtyard disciple, and his father is the famous director Chen Huaikai.
Feng Xiaogang can't be compared with Brother Chen Kai, Feng Xiaogang can barely be regarded as a child of Hutong, if it weren't for Wang Shuo, Feng Xiaogang would not have the opportunity to direct a movie.
Brother Chen Kai's 2008 was actually quite embarrassing.
He is Zhang Yimou's classmate, and he is one step ahead of Zhang Yimou and became internationally famous, "Yellow Earth" did shock many foreign audiences back then, but as soon as "Red Sorghum" came out, Zhang Yimou completely became the leader of their generation of directors.
Although Brother Chen Kai won the Palme d'Or for the whole "Farewell My Concubine", after that, no praised works came out.
even made a big bad movie "Wuji" that is enough to go down in the history of film history, which makes Chen Kaige, who has always regarded himself very highly, very sad.
What makes him even more sad is that Zhang Yimou has also made a few bad movies, but the box office is not bad, especially the foreign box office.
These are nothing, the key is that in 2008, Zhang Yimou directed the opening ceremony of the BJ Olympic Games, and truly became famous all over the world!
MMP, at the beginning of "Yellow Earth", Zhang Yimou was just Chen Kaige's photographer, or was Chen the crew who used the means to keep him there...
Now the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger.
"Mei Lanfang" contains Chen Kaige's hope.
He hopes to regain his status through the subject matter he is best at, and he wants to tell all the audience who think that Brother Chen Kai is old that your uncle is your uncle after all!
It's a pity that there is no Chen Dieyi in the world.
Without Zhang Guorong, "Mei Lanfang" will undoubtedly be greatly discounted, although Li Ming's appearance is also quite good, but I always feel that something is missing.
Peerless, not just talking!
In addition, although Mr. Mei is very famous, the current market is not interested in drama, and it is no longer the pure film market of the past.
Times have changed!
How many people love to listen to theater nowadays?
How many people like Mr. Mei in particular?
You ask the current audience to appreciate the style of the past, and it's hard to please them.
This is a very fair evaluation of "Mei Lanfang".
Even if "Mei Lanfang" is really good, it is estimated that the box office will not be much higher, not to mention that Chen Kaige's movie is forever a little worse than 'really good'.
……
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Hui left the crew.
Of course, the director's departure does not mean that the crew will stop filming, many other details can also be filmed, and Wang Snail is responsible for the camera.
It's just some trivial shots, Comrade Xiao Wang has been with Xu Hui for more than half a year, and he still has the control of this lens.
"Wow, it's beautiful!"
Looking at Liu Sisi sitting in the nanny's car, Xu Hui praised him.
The girl wore a light cyan long skirt with long hair fluttering, giving people a plain but comfortable feeling.
It fits her personality very well, of course, it would be better if she didn't have that pack of 'spicy duck gizzards' in her hand.
“… I'm a little nervous, that's why I'm eating these. ”
Liu Sisi obviously noticed that Xu Hui's eyes were focused on the snacks, and hurriedly explained.
"Alright, don't explain, I understand!"
……
At around half past six, Xu Hui took Liu Sisi by the hand, and the two walked into China Film International Film City together.
The premiere of "Mei Lanfang" was held here.
Walking to the interview area, Xu Hui still did not let go of the hand holding Liu Sisi.
All you want is attention!
dragged Xu Hui's blessing, Liu Sisi's national recognition during this period of time rose rapidly, and many people knew about this little girl.
Journalists, of course, are no strangers to her.
"Xu Hui, are you going to make it public with Sisi?"
"Public? We're just good friends, where did we get to be public? ”
Xu Hui made a surprised expression, as if he felt that the news had shocked him.
"Then why did you watch a movie together?"
"That's the case, Sisi and I are both fans of director Chen Kaige, this time "Mei Lanfang" premiered, so we are all here!"
Wow, that's so sweet!
The little couple are both fans.
No, the last time he participated in the premiere of "Red Cliff", he seemed to say the same!
Next to him at that time was Tang Yan.
“… What do you think of the movie "Mei Lanfang"?"
After all, it is the premiere scene of "Mei Lanfang", and we still have to talk about the protagonist.
"I haven't watched the movie yet, but Chen Daolai is very good at shooting themes related to Peking Opera, and I believe this movie will not disappoint everyone!"
After answering this question, Xu Hui nodded to the reporters, and then pulled Liu Sisi towards the hall.
Brother Chen Kai is also a word in the Beijing circle, there are many directors and actors who are good friends with him, plus the producer of the movie "Mei Lanfang" has China Film, and there are more stars who come to cheer.
Huang Xiaoming also came, and his agent Huang Bing was half of Brother Chen Kai's apprentice.
Brother Xiao Ming obviously saw Xu Hui, the two nodded to each other, in addition to him, Xu Hui also saw Yu Shaoqun, and the two also waved.
There are not many acquaintances, and Xu Hui sometimes wonders if he should attend more drinking parties or something to expand his network, but when he thinks of a bunch of hypocritical smirks, he can't stand it.
Anyway, Xu Hui's studio has Huang Wen!
He's good at running contacts and stuff.
No one noticed him, compared to the real big guy in that circle, Xu Hui was just a small character with a little achievement, probably chatted with Huang Xiaoming for a few words, and Xu Hui retreated to the audience area.
His seat was in the middle of the third row, and of course Sister Sisi sat next to him.
"Come, sit down. ”
"When does it start?"
Liu Sisi has always kept his facial expression slightly raised, that is, a smiling face.
"It's going to be released at about 7:30, and there will be an interview later. ”
Xu Hui looked at the time, and it hadn't arrived at half past six.
“… I'm a little hungry. ”
Liu Sisi whispered to Xu Hui a little embarrassed.
"Who told you to skip lunch at noon!"
That being said, Xu Hui still texted the assistant to ask her to buy porridge and send it in.
"These are all acting schools, you take a good look and listen to what they have to say. ”
When the interview session with the main creators arrived, Xu Hui whispered to Liu Sisi, who was carefully drinking porridge.
“… Is Li Ming also an acting school?"
"Of course, people are actors!"
Xu Hui was noncommittal.
looked at Brother Chen Kai who was talking eloquently on the stage with a little envy in his eyes, not that he could ride such a beautiful sister as Chen Hong, but that he was envious of having such a great influence.
Look at the actors standing on the stage, they are all actors.
That's not all, the screenwriter of "Mei Lanfang" is Yan Geling, who wrote Yan Geling of "Heavenly Bath"!
Her representative works also include "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", "Return", and "Fanghua".
Let's take a look at the main creators behind the scenes, Zhao Xiaoshi (photography of "The Devil is Coming"), Zhang Shuping, which one is not the top in the industry.
Only a big director of Brother Chen Kai's level has the opportunity to work with these people, and if Xu Hui is replaced, who cares about him!
