Chapter 82: A Premiere with the cart before the horse
Liu Hongtao and Wei Zhenxing looked at each other.
No one would have thought that Shen Lin would jump out to stir up the situation at this time.
The biggest problem with "Charlotte's Troubles" is 'straight male cancer', relatively. As we all know, "Carol" is a lily movie.
Lily movies can't disrespect women, right?
The pertinence is a bit obvious.
"There shouldn't be any problem, "Carol" is a literary film after all, and its influence on the market is relatively limited."
Wei Zhenxing saw Liu Hongtao's face change drastically, and hurriedly comforted.
"Also, Carol's audience isn't the same genre as ours, so you don't have to worry too much!"
"Hehe, Shen Lin came to me before, and he said that he was very optimistic about the project "Charlotte" and wanted to do it together, but I refused!"
Liu Hongtao looked at Wei Zhenxing, "I estimate that the black material about "Charlotte" and the black history of the actors during this period of time were all made by him!" ”
“… Do you think he's going to fight you in the ring with a feature film? ”
Wei Zhenxing's face was caring for the mentally handicapped: "Dramas that are partial to literature and art have always had poor box office, Shen Lin will not know?" ”
"Then what does it mean that he released "Carol" at this time?"
Not only Liu Hongtao was very concerned about why Shen Lin suddenly made this decision, but the seniors in the circle, including Shen Lin's fans, were very puzzled.
"Carol" is a movie that won the existence of the Cannes Palme d'Or, and I didn't see how you promoted it, so it entered the theater in such a hurry?
This is very unconvincing!
According to the general practice of this goods, before the movie is released, all kinds of variety show publicity plus roadshows, in short, he will not release a movie casually if he doesn't get the movie promoted to the point that the people of the whole country are a little bored.
Especially "Carol" is still his proud work!
……
Beijing, Wanda International Cinema.
The premiere of "Carol".
There are a lot of spectators who come.
Shen Lin's appeal has always been very strong.
This is the work of director Shen Lin who won the Palme d'Or again, and the two heroines won the Cannes actress together!
Full of force!
For most fans of Shen Lin, this is definitely a masterpiece worth watching.
There were more guests who came to cheer.
Take a look at the main creative team of "Carol", director Shen Lin, starring Gong Li, Zhao Liying, and Chen Daoming.
Any one of these four people's names can make the entire Chinese entertainment industry tremble a few times, let alone gather together.
Even Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang appeared very rarely.
This premiere is even more high-end than the Golden Rooster.
"After Gong Li got the Cannes film, she called me and asked me to come over to cheer, then of course I have to come!"
Zhang Yimou was interviewed by the reporter in the interview area, and as soon as he left with his front foot, it was so coincidental that Brother Chen Kai appeared in the media interview area with Chen Hong in his arms.
"Let me say it first, I've always wanted to watch this movie, and it just so happened that Zhao Liying called me, and I begged my husband to come with me."
"Moreover, after all, this is the second work in our country to win the Palme d'Or, and my husband and I really want to see it."
Chen Hong said before the reporter's questioning, and deliberately emphasized, 'Part 2'!
"Almost, I also want to see the literary films directed by Shen Lin, in fact, I have always felt that if Shen Lin focuses on the field of literary films, he may become a generation of masters! I don't like the previous "Dallas Buyers Club" very much, after all, it is an American film, I heard that although this "Carol" is also an American story, but Shen Lin has completely sinicized it, I really want to see it! ”
Brother Chen Kai said as if he had come over.
"Director Chen, do you know that Director Zhang is also here?"
The reporter clearly wanted to do something!
"Director Zhang? Zhang Yimou? ”
Brother Chen Kai's face was obviously stunned, and then said: "It's normal, he has a good relationship with Shen Lin, Gong Li and Chen Daoming, and friends help each other. ”
"Director Chen, many people say that you have a tense relationship with Director Zhang, can you tell us about it?"
"Who said that, I am a classmate with him, how can the relationship be tense, nonsense!"
Regarding the gossip between Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou, many people should be clear.
Many people think that Brother Chen Kai became famous before, but in fact it is not, Zhang Yimou's debut film "One and Eight" after graduation directly caused a sensation in the Chinese film industry, and at that time, Brother Chen Kai was just an unknown pawn of BJ Film Studio.
Chen Kaige filmed "Yellow Earth", Zhang Yimou was indeed a photographer, but he took the initiative to ask Zhang Yimou to be the cameraman.
As for how he did it, Chen's father Chen Huaihao is Guo Baochang's mentor, Guo Baochang has the grace of knowing Zhang Yimou, and he followed the circle twice and said that Zhang Yimou was moved!
Brother Chen Kai became famous at home and abroad with "Yellow Earth", and then, Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum" came out, and his fame was even higher!
From 90 to 99 years, "Red Sorghum", "Ju Dou", "The Red Lantern Hangs High", "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit", "Alive", "No One is Missing", "My Father and Mother", Zhang Yimou has completely become the first person in the Chinese director industry!
At that time, Brother Chen Kai's situation was very poor, and after returning from the United States, he was forced to survive and filmed the big thunder film "Lu Bu and Diao Chan".
Hehe!
Since then, the two have never crossed paths.
Even at the award ceremony, the two have a very tacit understanding, and the king does not see the king!
"Reporter of Whoosh Fox Entertainment, okay, I remember you! The premiere is about to begin, and we'll go first. ”
Chen Hong glanced at the reporter's label, and immediately took Brother Chen Kai and walked towards the infield.
A few reporters next to him looked sympathetically at the reporter who had just asked the question.
Idle and bored, a well-fated reporter pushed the reporter who asked the question just now: "Boy, you're a newcomer, right?" ”
"Yes, senior, I've only been on the job for three months."
"No wonder, tsk..."
"I'm sorry, senior, I grabbed the problem! By the way, senior, what did Mr. Chen Hong mean when he said remember me just now? ”
He also thought that his seniors were a little angry because they didn't get the opportunity to ask questions.
"Hehe..."
“… Senior, you wait a minute, I'll answer the phone. ”
He was about to continue asking questions, but suddenly, the mobile phone in his trouser pocket rang, and he picked it up and saw that it was the editor-in-chief.
'Hey, boss, it's me. ’
'I'm at the premiere of director Shen Lin's new film, and I just interviewed director Chen Kaige..."
"I didn't ask anything, I just asked some about his old past with director Zhang Yimou..."
'No, boss, what did I do wrong?' Why did you fire me? Feed... Feed... Depend on! ’
"Now you know why we sympathized with you just now, right?"
“…”
"As a reporter, you must remember the taboo of celebrities, do you think we don't want to inquire about the matter between Zhang Yimou and Brother Chen Kai?"
"Brother Li, Director Feng is also here!"
As he was talking, someone next to him reminded.
"Director Feng? Feng Xiaogang? ”
"That's right, let's grab a good spot!"
"I'll go, Shen Lin is here this time, the three directors appeared at the same time, and Huading doesn't have so much energy!"
Feng Xiaogang's influence in the minds of these reporters is definitely greater than that of the previous two big directors.
Although they often fire guns, they are all explosive points, and the favorite of reporters is the artists with explosive points.
"Director Feng, did you also receive an invitation from Shen Lin?"
"Hmm."
"Director Feng, it's rumored outside that you and Shen Lin have broken up, is there such a thing?"
"It's definitely a rumor, we had dinner together last month."
"Director Feng, do you know that Director Chen Kaige and Director Zhang Yimou are also here?"
"Really? That's a rarity! Then I'm in too! ”
