Chapter 162: The premiere of "Lust and Caution".
"Shen Lian likes girls who laugh and are infectious. Still a snowboarding enthusiast. ”
"Shen Lian is going to have a concert, and new songs will be released at the concert!!"
"Shen Lian promised fans that he would definitely make an idol drama for fans."
Although the broadcast time of this episode of "Lu Yu has an appointment" is scheduled before Shen Lian's birthday in October, the fans who went to participate in this recording promoted some of the words of Shen Lian on the forum as soon as possible.
1st floor: Wow, no matter who gets the opportunity to ask questions at the birthday party, they must ask Shen Lian about his plans for idol dramas.
2nd floor: A girl with a very infectious smile, among the female stars she has worked with, it seems that Cai Zhuoyan and Gao Yuanyuan are more suitable.
3rd Floor: Don't stop me, I'm going to snowboard training after the ski resort opens in November.
4th floor: Haha, I bought a Longines watch for my dad yesterday and drew two tickets for Shen Lian's super century national tour in Nanjing. Front row!
5th floor: 4th floor is really lucky, there is no interest in selling.
As long as people are popular, they can make headlines if they say anything. has been in the circle for more than two years, and Shen Lian has a deep understanding. And just here, the "Lust Caution" system came with not good news. Because the film did not pass the third review by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, "Lust and Caution" was confirmed to be postponed, and "Iron Triangle", which was originally scheduled for the National Day under great pressure, became the biggest winner. And because it has been negotiated with the theater chains in Hong Kong and Taiwan before, and the review has been carried out smoothly, the promotion of "Lust Caution" in Hong Kong and Taipei needs to be carried out as scheduled.
On September 24th, "Lust and Caution" held a not grand premiere in Taipei, because of the review problems and the scale of the film is indeed too large, it is not suitable for too large-scale publicity, so not too many stars were invited to participate, only director Ang Lee brought the three leading actors Liang Chaowei, Tang Wei, and Shen Lian to the stage built by the cinema to meet everyone. And Liang Chaowei's fiancée, actress Liu Jialing, also appeared in the theater in a low-key manner.
On the brightly lit stage, Ang Lee, Liang Chaowei, Tang Wei, and Shen Lian stood side by side, looking quite excited. Before the premiere, everyone watched the film, and the continuous applause told them that it was a good movie.
At this time, Liang Chaowei couldn't hide his excitement on his face, and although Liu Jialing, who was sitting under the stage, had some heavy makeup on her face, she could still see Tie Qing.
The versions released in Taiwan, Hong Kong and other countries are all director's cuts, so there are a large number of restricted scenes in it, which are both fragrant and profound, and the version released in the mainland has been deleted a lot because mainland theaters are not classified. In terms of content and coherence, it is naturally more than a step behind. I didn't think about it, I still haven't been reviewed, and I still need to make more revisions. After missing such a good schedule as the National Day file, it will also face a great threat of piracy.
"First of all, we just enjoyed this much-acclaimed film, I want to say that this is worthy of the film that won the Golden Lion Award, the highest honor at the Venice Film Festival, the whole movie is more than two hours, there is not a single waste shot, every minute and every second is behind the content, there is no way to cut it anymore, one more point is too much, one less point is too little."
The host on the scene is worthy of being famous, and his appreciation for this movie is naturally sparing no effort, and the audience, film critics, and media reporters at the scene naturally applauded gently, and the host's words are not exaggerated, and this movie has been holding on to the eyeballs from beginning to end.
"Mr. Liang Chaowei is worthy of being the actor, his performance is eye-catching, with the cold eyes of the wolf dog at the beginning of the film, which makes people can't believe that it is him This can be regarded as a breakthrough for him. As a newcomer, Tang Wei can't say that he is beautiful in appearance, but he is innocent when he was a college student, coquettish when he was Mrs. Mai, and his words, eyes, despair and helplessness when he seduced people, all of which were alive. Director Ang Lee's vision is different. She's sure to be on fire, there's no doubt about it. Shen Lian's enthusiasm is actually very good, the young and handsome when he was a student, the chic when he played a spy, and his appearance before his death, let us see his acting skills beyond his appearance. ”
"The following is the media question session, everyone must seize the opportunity, otherwise there will not be many opportunities to ask again in the future, everyone seize the opportunity!" The host Tao Jingying said very playfully.
The reporters on the scene were all prepared, and "Lust and Caution" was put in the headlines because of various topics when it was widely publicized, so this time the reporters were finally able to unveil its mystery.
"May I ask Director Ang Lee, are the actors themselves involved in the three passion scenes in the movie? It is said that for this reason, the version of "Lust and Caution" in the mainland was almost banned, and then it was edited beyond recognition, is there such a thing? "A small, unobtrusive male journalist was the first to raise the most concerning issue.
Ang Lee was already prepared when this happened, not only did he not hide it, but generously announced to the public that "Lust and Caution" still needed to be edited again, and for a while, everyone's attention was on it. Many people admired Ang Lee's hand, which not only attracted a lot of attention, but also left suspense.
"Actually, this movie can't be understood at one time. Maybe you only have passion scenes in your eyes, and you don't find the relationship between them and the plot, it can be said that the process is step-by-step, and we are not like the so-called tertiary films, we are depressed and painful. That's all I have to say, and you have to watch the specific things to understand. ”
The corners of Shen Lian's mouth opened a little arc, worthy of being a great director who has experienced a hundred battles, and there is no difference between what he said and what he didn't say, but it aroused their curiosity even more.
The reporter was still unwilling and wanted to continue to ask, but the spicy host Tao Jingying didn't give him this opportunity at all, so she casually ordered another reporter to get up.
"Hello creators, I'm a reporter from "Entertainment Xintiandi", this is a good movie, so what is its final box office in everyone's hearts? Can you tell us about that? ”
This question is also a concern for those here, including those who follow this film, after all, this is a good film, and it can win an award at the Venice Film Festival, and its quality is naturally extraordinary.
Not only that, but the cast is also equally strong, with faint signs of the first person of the new generation in the mainland, Shen Lian and veteran actor Liang Chaowei, newcomer Tang Wei, impeccable acting skills, Chen Chong, whose acting skills have gone further, and the original novel is the novel of the same name by the famous novelist Zhang Ailing. The popularity is arguably the biggest among the recently released films. Just looking at the movies released this year, the lineup that can compete with "Lust and Caution" is "Casting Names" at the end of the year.
This box office is really hard to say, if you say less, you don't have confidence, if you say more, you are so ambitious, and it's really difficult to grasp the proper feeling in it.
