As the opening drama of the Tang Dynasty films, "Myth" did not disappoint, and set off a boom as soon as it was released, whether it was the strong classical cultural atmosphere, or the atmospheric scene, or the lingering love of life and death, or the supernatural time and space travel, all of which amazed every audience who walked into the cinema, and the voices in the media were mostly praised.

And Gong Li, the heroine of the play, also became famous in Hong Kong in one fell swoop, and her beautiful face and graceful dancing in "Myth" left a deep impression on the audience, and some media even exclaimed, "It turns out that there are such beautiful actresses in the mainland".

It can be seen from this that there is indeed a lack of understanding on both sides of the Xiangjiang River. In addition, director Zhang Yimou also used facts to once again prove Gu Chen's discerning vision of heroes, as long as you have seen this movie, the first impression must be atmospheric, this feeling runs through the whole movie, especially in the grasp of the lens and the creation of the atmosphere of the scene, even Zeng Zhiwei and Wang Jingjing praised it as worthy of being the people who have won the Golden Bear Award.

On the first day of the movie's release, the box office reached 3.6 million, and the box office in the first week also reached more than 25 million, which is undoubtedly a very good result. Therefore, the celebration banquet must be inevitable, and for this reason, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, the two main creators, also rushed over from the mainland.

Gu Chen also took the time to attend the celebration banquet, and even made an exception to make a short speech, at the next celebration banquet, he almost stayed with Gong Li, counting this is the first time the two of them have met, although his romance has a little 'style problem' in the eyes of Gong Li, an actress from the mainland, but who made him the big boss of Tang Dynasty movies. Even if Gong Li was wary, she couldn't refuse openly, chatting and chatting, the atmosphere between the two became more and more harmonious. Occasionally, Gong Li's chuckle could be heard.

"What are you talking about so happy?" A rough mine sound sounded next to him, and Gu Chen looked back, but it was Zhang Yimou who was already standing behind him on the left side at some point. Seeing him turn around, Zhang Yimou said apologetically: "I'm sorry Mr. Gu, I didn't disturb you chatting, right?" ”

Gu Chen saw Zhang Yimou's eyes glancing at Gong Li from time to time, and his heart suddenly became stunned. In his memory, the most well-known director in Chinese mainland and Gong Li had a relationship when they were young. Although he doesn't know when Lu Dao was, the first time the two worked together was in "Red Sorghum", and it is estimated that Zhang Yimou has been fighting Gong Li's idea since then. Maybe the two of them are already procrastinating, but Gu Chen feels that this possibility is very small, to say that he is experienced, whether a man and a woman are a couple or not He can tell from his words and deeds. And Zhang Yimou and Gong Li did not give people a sense of intimacy.

"Nope. Miss Gong Li and I were talking about some interesting things that happened during the filming of the film. Gu Chen smiled slightly, and then said: "This time, Director Zhang showed everyone his superb directorial strength in "Myth", which has been widely recognized, I don't know if Director Zhang has ever thought of staying in Hong Kong to develop, I think Hong Kong's film environment, skills and theories are much ahead of the mainland. ”

"It is true that the development of Hong Kong's film industry is far greater than that of the mainland, and there is more room for development, but I don't have this idea for the time being, so I can only live up to Mr. Gu's kindness. However, if there is an opportunity like this one in the future, I am still happy to cooperate with Mr. Gu. ”

In this era, many people in Chinese mainland are more obsessed with a seemingly ethereal sense of mission and responsibility. They often do things more from these two perspectives, and the gains and losses of personal interests are put behind, and Zhang Yimou gives Gu Chen the feeling that this is it.

Gu Chen said with a light smile: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and I respect Director Zhang's choice." As soon as he finished speaking, Zeng Zhiwei appeared, only to hear him say to Zhang Yimou: "Director Zhang, you are here, no wonder I haven't been able to find it, come, let me introduce you to a few well-known directors in Hong Kong." ”

Seeing Zeng Zhiwei's enthusiastic face, Zhang Yimou really couldn't refuse, and in desperation, he could only say to Gu Chen: "You guys talk first, and I will go over with Mr. Zeng." ”

When leaving, Zeng Zhiwei winked at Gu Chen meaningfully, as early as the beginning of the celebration banquet, he noticed that Gu Chen and Gong Li were talking happily, and Gu Chen's thoughts were like mirrors, and when he saw Zhang Yimou suddenly appear, he immediately came over to help chase the flies.

The disturber left, Gu Chen retracted his gaze and looked at Gong Li, and asked: "The question I asked Director Zhang just now is actually what I wanted to ask you, with your own appearance and acting skills, if you develop in Hong Kong, it will definitely be more promising than staying in the mainland, and you have now successfully opened up your popularity in Hong Kong through the movie "Myth", and your future development will definitely be smoother." ”

"This ......" Gong Li didn't know how to answer for a while, because she had never thought about this question before, but from a personal emotional point of view, she was still very willing to stay in Hong Kong to develop, after all, Hong Kong's film industry is far more developed than the mainland, and the environment is much more relaxed.

Seeing Gong Li's hesitation, Gu Chen said: "You don't have to be busy answering, so be it, I just have a script in my hand, it is a comedy, I plan to invite you to be the heroine, you can think about your future plans when filming this drama, and it is not too late to make a decision." ”

Gong Li thought for a while, nodded, and said: "Well, seriously, I really want to stay in Hong Kong to develop, but I'm worried about the cultural and language barriers. ”

Gu Chen smiled slightly, picked up the goblet and touched it with Gong Li, and said jokingly: "No need to thank you, I see that you were quite defensive of me at the beginning, using the words of you mainlanders, people like me who have an unruly private life are called 'life style problems', I heard that in the past, serious people were going to prison, as long as you don't think I am a person with a 'life style problem'." ”

Hearing this, Gong Li immediately covered her mouth and chuckled, and only said after a while: "I'm sorry, I haven't been in contact with you before, I heard from the people in the crew that you have several girlfriends, so I'll ...... You know that the mainland is still very conservative in this regard, just like you said 'style of life', these four words are still mentioned by many people, even in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, let alone other places, and it is not uncommon for serious people to be arrested and imprisoned. But you're a dangerous man. ”

……

After the celebration banquet, Gu Chen came to Zhou Huimin's villa on the top of the mountain, speaking of which Zhou Huimin's villa is not very far from Zhao Yazhi's villa, it only takes ten minutes to walk, Zhou Huimin has also been to see Zhao Yazhi in private, after all, she lives so close, Zhao Yazhi is pregnant, if you don't go to see Zhou Huimin, I always feel a little unhappy in my heart, the two are naturally a little rusty at first, but both of them are the kind of women who are gentle and virtuous by nature, and they are gradually familiar with each other.

Because Gu Chen said that he was coming, Zhou Huimin had not rested, wrapped in a bath towel, and sat on the sofa in the living room with wet hair on his shoulders, blowing his hair on the electric breeze, while watching TV, when he heard the doorbell, he immediately put down the electric wind and ran over to open the door, and when he saw Gu Chen standing outside the door, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "I thought you would come back later." ”

"You haven't seen me in a few days?" Gu Chen walked into the living room with Zhou Huimin in his arms and asked casually, "How is it, this event is going well, right?" ”

In the past few days, the Liu Huiyun Charitable Foundation has donated 100 sets of advanced medical equipment of various types and a large number of medicines to the government of Guangxi-Zhuang Autonomous Region, with a total value of more than 20 million yuan. Later, the Foundation's staff, accompanied by provincial leaders, visited a small mountain town in Liuzhou. Originally, Liu Huiyun was going to participate in this event in person, but unfortunately she happened to be a little unwell and could only dispel this idea, but Zhou Huimin, Wang Guxian and Shi Yayun sisters all participated in this event with the foundation.

Zhou Huimin sat on the sofa, holding Gu Chen's arm with both hands, and said with a depressed expression: "It's very smooth, the Guangzhou-Western Autonomous Region government also held a donation ceremony, which was attended by many leaders, which was quite grand." It's just that the town we went to is really poor, not to mention the hospital, there is not even a decent clinic, according to the local mayor, there are 12 villages in their town, a total of more than 8,000 people, but there are only five local doctors who have not undergone formal education, and many patients die because they do not get timely and correct treatment. Since we have donated so much medical equipment and medicines, why not just donate a hospital in the town? ”

Gu Chen patted Zhou Huimin's hand and said with relief: "You don't understand this, according to the current national conditions of the mainland, unless the construction of the hospital we donated is completely supervised by us, it will be difficult for the money we donate to be fully implemented, and a large part of it will be embezzled by those corrupt officials, I don't want to be the big one." However, you can rest assured that the Foundation is now in talks with the International Health Organization (WHO) on a plan to build primary medical institutions in poor areas of China, and I believe that the results will be available soon, and that the WHO will be responsible for overseeing the construction of the project and the flow of donations should be able to avoid corruption to the greatest extent. ”

"It's disgusting that someone embezzles even charity money." Thinking that some more meaningful things could not be done immediately because of some social scum, Zhou Huimin had a rare look of anger on his face, and Gu Chen couldn't help but move his fingers. (To be continued......)
