Chapter 172: A Special Gift
finally came to Shen Lian's birthday, and Shen Lian was going to take a plane to Beijing early in the morning. The birthday party was scheduled to officially start at six o'clock in the evening, but Shen Lian also had the task of accompanying Chen Xinxin to promote "Vote for Fame". Early in the morning, before the plane, I received birthday wishes from Yang Ying, Zheng Kai, Chen He, Du Jiang, Zhao Ji, Liu Yifei, Hu Ge, Jay Chou and other friends.
"Hey, Shen Lian, happy birthday." As soon as Shen Lian arrived at the propaganda venue, Chen Xinxin greeted him and gave Shen Lian a hug. Although it is said that it is the actor's duty to promote the movie, Shen Lianken used his birthday to help promote the movie trailer, and Chen Xin is still very grateful. After experiencing the box office failure of "If Love", he has a better understanding of the experience of film promotion in the mainland. Otherwise, he wouldn't have pulled down his old face to talk to Shen Lian about this matter. However, Chen Xinxin has always come and gone, but he also prepared a generous gift for Shen Lian.
"Thank you, Director." Shen Lian gently patted Chen Xinxin on the back. No matter what Chen Xin said, he was his mentor, and it was impossible for Shen Lian not to give face.
"Let's take a look at our trailer first, and then don't reveal too much of the plot." Chen Xin asked. In fact, for an actor like Shen Lian, who is already rich in experience, this point does not need to be emphasized at all, but Chen Xin is used to teaching Shen Lian a little more.
"Uh-huh, got it." Shen Lian nodded to indicate that he knew, and the staff immediately called up the trailer for Shen Lian to watch.
"A confused road, a messy journey, has never been able to shake the fog of fate, and the name has come to a fork in the road......" The trailer is based on the theme song of the same name of "Casting Names" created by Shen Lian and sung by Liu Dehua, and runs through the entire movie of "Casting Names" from the perspective of the character Zhao Erhu.
The production level of the trailer is very high, Liu Dehua has changed from a bandit to an officer and soldier fighting on the battlefield, the inner resistance when shooting unarmed prisoners of war, and the sudden tears of love when he saw the three brothers on the wine table all made people have a strong interest in the content of the movie. And the domineering sentence "Go on the road with peace of mind" as the end of the trailer also makes people curious about the final fate of Zhao Erhu.
"The two, the reporters and the audience, have already entered. We can get started. Shen Lian was still learning about the process of the event, and the staff walked in and reminded him.
"Relax. Take it easy. Chen Xin patted Shen Lian on the shoulder and walked to the front of the stage with Shen Lian.
"Shen Lian, happy birthday." Because it was announced in advance that Shen Lian would participate in this promotional event, many fans who were going to attend Shen Lian's birthday party in the evening also came to participate in this movie promotional event. After entering the venue, there are people who organize to shout slogans in unison.
"Thank you, thank you. I hope you all have a happy birthday with me. Shen Lian said humorously, and sent a flying kiss without hesitation. The fans at the scene began to scream again.
"Then thank you for your enthusiasm and coming to the release ceremony of the trailer of "Vote for Fame". Let's take a look at the well-sculpted trailer of this massive production zuò. The host Jingwei pulled the theme of the venue back to the movie.
Shen Lian made a downward gesture to the audience, signaling everyone to be quiet. The fans who got the instructions of the idol obediently closed their mouths, and if someone made a little noise, they would be despised by the other people around them.
After the trailer was broadcast, Chen Xin and Shen Lian took the stage again. Jingwei clapped and motioned for the two to sit down.
"There doesn't seem to be two starring roles in the trailer, Li Lianjie and Shen Lian." Jingwei asked, and the audience also expressed their dissatisfaction, and came to see Shen Lian.
"I hope you understand, I also wrote this song. At that time, because of physical reasons, there was really no way to record it, so the song was written from the perspective of the character of Zhao Erhu, so the trailer was more likely to appear in the second brother. Shen Lian helped explain.
"This song was also written by Shen Lian?" Jingwei pretended to be a "surprise". The audience's emotions were also mobilized.
"Yes, I didn't make good use of this resource when I collaborated on "If Love" before, and this movie must be made up." Chen Xinxin said humorously.
"Then what does Shen Lian mean when he says physical reasons? Was there a fractured bone in your right hand before? Jingwei continued the interview.
"Actually, not only that, but we suffered too many injuries in the process of making this film. It's just that the bone crack was the most severe. Shen Lian explained: "The eldest brother has also been poked a few times, and the second brother has even had the experience of falling off the horse, and we were all scared to see it." ”
"Wow!" Fans exclaimed.
"Then your hands are almost good, and there are no sequelae." Jingwei cared.
"Well, it's not a big deal." Shen Lian has been unconsciously holding the microphone with his left hand, which makes fans still a little worried: "I'm just used to holding the microphone with my left hand." The right hand has been restored. With that, he cut to his right hand.
"Judging by the trailer, this movie will definitely not disappoint everyone. I also hope that everyone will go to the cinema on December 12th to support them. Jingwei shouted.
"Good!" Shen Lian's fans said enthusiastically.
"Then we all know that today is Shen Lian's birthday, and there is even a birthday party in the evening. So we reached out to some of your fan groups, and everyone said that they would only give you gifts in the evening. Still, the director has prepared a gift for you. Jingwei said. At this time, the backstage staff also pushed a big chocolate cake and sent it up.
"Wow, thank you, Director." Shen Lian was "surprised" and said, "Great gift." ”
At this point, the big screen starts playing a VCR.
The first character to appear is Li Lianjie: "Shen Lian, happy birthday". It can be seen that he is still filming "The King of Kung Fu", and he is still wearing a costume.
Immediately afterwards, Jackie Chan appeared in the picture for the second time, and he was also wearing the costume of "The King of Kung Fu": "I wish you a happy birthday, you are a year older, and you are more and more handsome." Shen Lian. ”
The appearance of the third character in the picture made the fans at the scene exclaim, Liu Yifei, who was officially in the crew of "The King of Kung Fu": "You gave me this bracelet on my birthday, so this time in addition to sending text messages, I can only record this VCR to give you blessings." I hope your career is getting smoother and smoother. The fans at the scene coaxed, and it was strange to say, the scandal between the two has been hyped for more than a year, and Shen Lian's fans and Liu Yifei's fans have also been torn apart for more than a year. As a result, the impression of the two sides of each other changed from unacceptable to barely making ends meet to being happy to see it happen, and Shen Lian was also speechless.
The fourth one to appear is Li Binbin, who is also in the crew of "The King of Kung Fu". She didn't have much friendship with Shen Lian, and she didn't even meet, but the three leading actors in the crew were recorded, and she also participated by the way. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to have a good relationship with Shen Lian.
Next, Liu Dehua, Er Dongsheng, Xue Kaiqi, Zhang Xueyou, and Liang Chaowei also appeared in the VCR, which made the fans on the scene keep exclaiming: There are too many big names that Shen Lian has cooperated with.
