Chapter 830: Premiere; way
The movie "Grand Prix" tells the story of a female rider who is discouraged by the unexpected loss of her beloved horse on the field, meets a sympathetic male rider on the beautiful island of Jeju, and is encouraged by him to regain her confidence and return to the field. To put it simply, this is a sports inspirational story, and of course, there is inevitably touching love in it.
Compared with another widely acclaimed movie "Sugar Cube" with the theme of riders and horse racing released four years ago, this movie originally had a lot of gaps in concept and storyline, which is one of the reasons why Zhang Chengyuan was reluctant to take on this movie at first.
However, the movie itself also has several quite attractive points: First, the re-collaboration of Jang Sung-won and Kim Tae-hee, two top popular actors, has caused a wide range of topics, making fans look forward to this movie very much, thinking that as long as the plot is not too bad, and they can show excellent acting skills, then they can already worry about the box office hitting the street. And with Zhang Chengyuan's strict requirements, these two points are absolutely guaranteed.
The second is the two mounts of Kim Tae-hee and Jang Sung-won in the film, tall, fit, handsome and extremely humane, and their performances in the film are vivid and outstanding, just like live-action actors, far better than the horse racing actors in "Sugar Cube", maybe they will surpass Jang Sung-won and Kim Tae-hee to become the biggest highlight of the film - and it is also a selling point.
The third is that the horse racing scenes in this movie are very exciting and realistic, making people almost immersive, not only because Kim Tae-hee did not use a stand-in at all in the shooting. It's also because of the proper use of a lot of special effects. It makes the scene very intense and exciting, but not messy and jumpy. I believe that film critics and fans will be very satisfied after watching it. It even praised it and stimulated a box office rally. For this reason, Zhang Chengyuan also spent a lot of extra money, but as long as it helps the filming effect of the movie, he naturally doesn't care about it.
Fourth, this movie abandons the melancholy and sad mood and ending of "Sugar Cube", the style is bright and cheerful, and it is deeply joyful, and the result is also perfect and festive. It is believed that it can attract many fans who like to watch comedy movies to buy movie tickets and contribute to the box office of this movie.
Of course, these advantages are basically for the box office, if it is artistic, "Grand Prix" really can't be compared with "Sugar Cube", but Zhang Chengyuan filmed this movie only for the box office, but he is not interested in artistry, so if some critics think that "Grand Prix" is far inferior to "Sugar Cube", he will not care at all, as long as the box office can surpass "Sugar Cube" and reach his latest expected goal - 3.5 million people. Of course, it would be better if it could exceed this expectation.
In a soft conversation with Zhang Dongjian and Yuan Bin, Zhang Chengyuan watched the movie again. Although he had seen the finished product several times in the company's editing room before, this time, he still felt quite satisfied, although there were some flaws, but overall it was still very good.
And not only does he think so, but from the audience's devotion to the movie and the heartfelt applause after watching the movie, it can be seen that others are also very satisfied with the movie. And Zhang Dongjian was full of praise, saying that this movie will definitely exceed 3.5 million as Zhang Chengyuan thought. Yuan Bin agrees with this, but he also thinks that although Jang Sung-won also has an extremely outstanding performance in this movie, his save seems to be completely used to set off the role played by Kim Tae-hee, so he is afraid that he will not be shortlisted for this year's Daejong Award and Blue Dragon Award.
However, how can Jang Sung-won care if he can be shortlisted for the Daejong Award and the Blue Dragon Award, his purpose in taking over this drama was originally just to help Kim Tae-hee, not to let himself win another award, and the award is not something that can be obtained every year, he won two film awards last year, and he is temporarily satisfied.
After the film was screened, Jang Sung-won and Kim Tae-hee once again thanked the invited and uninvited artists and guests, and said goodbye to them one by one. Zhang Chengyuan also invited Zhang Dongjian and Yuan Bin, hoping that the two of them could stay and have a light meal with him, but Zhang Dongjian declined because he was busy, and Yuan Bin glanced at Cheng Youli and the dozen female artists next to her from a distance, and said with a faint smile: "Your sisters are here so much, do you still have time to eat with me?" Forget it, I won't disturb your party, we will meet again next time. ”
Zhang Chengyuan didn't insist, nodded and said, "Okay, then get together next time." Brother Dao Zhen, go out more to talk about love when you have time, don't be bored at home. ”
When Zhang Dongjian heard this, he also smiled and said: "Dao Zhen, Cheng Yuan is right, you hurry up and find a woman to talk about love, don't be a bachelor anymore." "He and Yuan Bin are also good friends, so he talks to Yuan Bin very casually.
Yuan Bin smiled and said unmindfully: "Don't worry, I will find my favorite lover sooner or later, you two don't have to make fun of me about this all the time." ”
After sending off all the guests and some female artists under his company, Zhang Chengyuan also left the cinema with all his sisters and went to his Chinese restaurant to prepare for dinner, although it was only about five o'clock in the afternoon, and it seemed that it was still early for dinner, but they could order some snacks first, and then talk and chat, and then eat the main meal when they were hungry.
After saying a few words to each sister, Zhang Chengyuan sat next to Cheng Youli and talked to her and Li Xiaoli and others, not only because Cheng Youli was his official girlfriend, and he had to take into account her face and feelings, but also because the four daughters of Fin.k.l had always been the most important in his heart, and when they were present, he would inevitably be a little negligent to the other sisters.
For this, he often feels sorry, but it can only be so. Fortunately, the sisters have long been accustomed to this, and they don't care much about this situation, at this time they are enjoying themselves, or two or two, or three or four people in groups chatting about the topics they are interested in, too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Chengyuan.
Zhang Chengyuan also talked to the fourth daughter of Fin.k.l, and asked Cheng Youli: "Sister, hasn't my father-in-law allowed me to marry you until now?" ”
Cheng Youli said: "Well, not yet, but, Cheng Yuan, don't worry, he didn't say that he wouldn't let us get married at the beginning of next year, but we just have to think about it." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I'm afraid that he is embarrassed to refuse your request in person, so he said that he would consider it." Alas, I don't know what my father-in-law doesn't like about me, it's been nearly three years, and I still don't believe in my sincerity to Sister Youli. ”
Li Xiaoli smiled and said: "If I had a daughter, I would also be very careful to consider whether to marry my daughter to a male artist who often makes scandals, not to mention that you just had an affair with Lin Shuyan, the daughter of the Elephant Group, some time ago."
At this time, the media has already picked up Lin Shuyan's identity and information, which has made the impact of Zhang Chengyuan's scandal with Lin Shuyan some time ago rise to another level, after all, things related to the chaebol are more topical, and some unscrupulous media and netizens even speculated that Zhang Chengyuan may be having a falling out with Cheng Youli because of his private meeting with Lin Shuyan, and may even face a breakup. And because they used speculative words such as "maybe", "probably", and "maybe", Zhang Chengyuan didn't bother to trouble them, but just refuted the rumors.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Sister, you are still in the mood to tease me, if I can't get married to Sister Youli early next year, how can it be good?" ”
Yuzhuxuan said with a smile: "Cheng Yuan, what are you anxious about, there are still about three months until next year, and for such a long time, you are still worried that Youli will not be able to persuade her father, everyone knows how much her father loves her, and sooner or later he will agree to her request." However, you should also be cautious and stop getting involved with any more women. ”
Zhang Chengyuan hugged and said: "It's not that I want to have a relationship with any woman, but this 'relationship' likes to involve me, no matter if I act with that actress, or even as long as I say a few words to a young woman, there will be a scandal about me in the media." Look at it, in a few days, the media will definitely report some of my scandals with Sister Hailin or other actresses. ”
Li Zhen said considerately: "This matter really has nothing to do with Cheng Yuan, we don't have to talk about him anymore, let's find a way to persuade Uncle Cheng to make him believe that Cheng Yuan can always be good to Youli and marry Youli to Cheng Yuan." ”
Li Xiaoli said: "How can it be so easy? Cheng Yuan has worked hard for nearly three years, and he hasn't changed Youli's father's mind much, so what can he do to change his opinion of Cheng Yuan in a short period of time, maybe he can't change it for a lifetime! I think that instead of wanting to change his opinion of Cheng Yuan, it is better for him to have to accept Cheng Yuan as a son-in-law. ”
Cheng Youli said: "Sister, you don't want me to pretend to be pregnant or really pregnant, do you?" It's not okay, if you think I'm pregnant, my dad has to be angry with me for years, I don't want to be angry with him. ”
Lee Hyo-ri said: "I didn't say that I wanted to use this old-fashioned method, but I wanted the two of you to publicize the fact that you were going to get married, so that all your relatives, all your father's friends and even the entire Korean people knew about it, so that under the great expectations and hopes of the people of the whole country, your father must be embarrassed to refuse again." ”
Yuzhuxuan said: "This is a good idea, in this case, if you and Cheng Yuan are not married, then you may become the laughing stock of the whole country, and your father loves you so much, how can you allow this kind of thing to happen?" ”
Li Zhendao: "But if Uncle Cheng knows or guesses the reason for this incident in the future, I'm afraid he will be very angry with Cheng Yuan and Youli." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said without hesitation: "I'll do this matter, Sister Youli doesn't have to meddle in this matter, and treat it as if she doesn't know anything at all, anyway, my father-in-law doesn't like me very much, so he doesn't like me even more, it's not a big deal." It's a big deal to wait for me to get married to Sister Youli, and then I will honor his old man and make amends to him. ”
Cheng Youli hurriedly said: "Cheng Yuan, don't use this method for the time being, maybe I persuade my father more, and he will agree to the marriage of the two of us, if you really can't persuade it, you can use this method again." She didn't really want her dad to hate Jang Sung-won.
Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "Sister, I know, if you can get your father-in-law, I will definitely not use this method." "What Cheng Youli doesn't want, he usually doesn't want to do, unless there's really no way. (To be continued......)
