Chapter 410: In China (6) Premiere (2)
After the "Kung Fu" musical, it was time for Cheng Long and Li Lianjie to appear together.
First, the big screen on the stage showed a few minutes of classic martial arts scenes of the movie characters they once played, and then the host solemnly invited them to the stage, so to speak, the two of them are the protagonists of tonight's premiere, and most of the audience at the scene also came to witness the demeanor of the two of them.
In front of Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, Liu Yifei, Li Binbin, Zhang Chengyuan and others have to stand aside, don't look at them as handsome guys and beauties, and Cheng Long and Li Lianjie have passed the best period of appearance, but in comparison, it seems that Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are more charming and more brilliant.
Cheng Long and Li Lianjie's appearance method is a bit special, when other guests come to the stage, they all go directly to the stage, and they go around the backstage first, and then the staff opens a special curtain with portraits of the two people hanging behind the stage, as if opening a door, so that they can walk out of the hall, giving people a feeling of jumping out and presenting it in front of the audience. At the same time, when they appeared, the behind-the-scenes staff also specially released a puff of smoke to create a cloudy fairyland atmosphere and add some "fairy energy" to the two superstars.
But it's a pity that the two eldest brothers were choked by the smoke without being notified in advance and caught off guard, so they had to help each other and walk out, so they didn't give people a feeling of being a master of the fairy family at all, but were quite embarrassed. Fortunately, both of them are used to seeing big scenes, and in this somewhat embarrassing situation, not only did they not show any panic, but they also joked with each other. It makes the audience feel very interesting. At the same time, I was also very impressed.
Furthermore. The two eldest brothers also have a privilege on stage, that is, they can also sit on the chair and chat with the host, and before that, everyone on stage was standing.
After Cheng Long and Li Lianjie sat down, the host began to ask questions and chat with them. Today, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are quite talkative, and they speak without restraint, revealing each other's jokes or themselves in the filming of the movie. The atmosphere on and off the stage is quite harmonious.
When the host said that they were heroes in the movie, Li Lianjie laughed and said that he was a "bear", an ordinary person, and he was afraid of pain and tiredness. Cheng Long also said that he was an ordinary person, and said that the achievements, honors, and titles achieved by the two of them were given to them by the audience and the media, but in fact they were not that remarkable.
This made the audience deeply feel the modest attitude and peaceful mentality of the two international superstars, and also made Jang Sung-won realize that his previous attitude towards the media and fans seemed to be inappropriate.
Of course, at this time, Zhang Chengyuan just felt that his behavior and attitude were a little inappropriate, but if he wanted to be humble and humble to almost everyone from the bottom of his heart like Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, he would never be able to do it, because his perception of Hongchen and life had not yet reached the height of Cheng Long and Li Lianjie.
Don't look at him as a monk in his previous life. I have read some Taoist books, but almost all of what I have learned are the doctrines of staying away from the world, eliminating distracting thoughts, purifying the state of mind, and concentrating on cultivation. has not learned how to resist all kinds of temptations and maintain tranquility and true feelings in the red dust, and the matter of helping the world and helping others is even more insulated from him.
He is a selfish person by nature, and he will only give his heart to the people he wants to care about.
But it's no wonder that in ancient times, most of the cultivators were originally selfish people, for the so-called avenue, they could regard ordinary people as ants, they could ignore the safety of the country, they could abandon their families and children in desperation, and even relatives and friends could be killed with their own hands. Zhang Chengyuan also knows in his heart that he cares about and loves his relatives and friends, which is already quite good.
During the conversation, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie also talked about the injuries they had suffered since they entered the industry, and both of them were embarrassed, admitting that they had suffered a lot of injuries, and that the road of being a kung fu star was very difficult. In addition, they also talked about some problems in educating their children. Through these conversations, the audience became more aware of how difficult it was for the two kung fu superstars to go all the way, and also realized that in addition to being superstars, they were also warm fathers, which made people feel their ordinary side at once.
When he heard them talk about how to educate their children and how to get along with them, Zhang Chengyuan suddenly imagined how he should educate if he had children in the future, whether to teach them all the skills of the whole body and plan their life path for them, or just lay some foundation for them, so that they can freely choose the path they should take in the future when they grow up? However, no matter what his children choose in the future, he doesn't want them to step into the entertainment industry in the future.
In his opinion, there are too many temptations in the entertainment industry, even with the pure mentality he obtained from cultivating in his previous life, he has gradually been polluted and degenerated, and his future children are afraid that they will be even more unbearable. In order to prevent his children from going down the wrong path or suffering too much unnecessary suffering and trouble, he will try to prevent them from following this path.
He will also say as Li Lianjie just said on stage, "not only to tell his children about his achievements, but also to tell them how much hardship and effort he has put in while achieving these achievements, so that they can retreat from this path or strengthen their confidence." If one of them decides to become a star, and has enough will and conviction, then he will do his best to support them......"
pondered for an unknown amount of time, and when Zhang Chengyuan came to his senses, he found that the host's interview with Cheng Long and Li Lianjie had also come to an end, and the two had already begun to say words of wishing for the Olympic Games at the request of the host. Perhaps one of the main themes of China this year is the "Olympics", so almost every public event has something to do with the "Olympics", and this year Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are estimated to have said dozens or hundreds of blessings for the Olympic Games, but I am afraid that they are quite upset, but they can't help but say it.
When Cheng Long said two words simply, wishing the Olympics a complete success, maybe he was afraid that the audience would get bored after listening to it for a long time, so he didn't talk about it at length. And Li Lianjie simply didn't say the words of blessing, and said very bluntly: "Too many blessings, everyone has already said them." I'm not going to say any more. I think what I really need to do is to keep my feet on the ground. Do something practical to clean up the city...... If you do practical things, the whole world will naturally see and know the way. Thank you! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Long took the lead in clapping his palms, and his expression was rarely very serious, obviously agreeing with what Li Lianjie said. But it's also normal, because he's been doing it all these years.
At the same time, Zhang Chengyuan also felt a little. Cheng Long and Li Lianjie have a little different ways of dealing with people, Cheng Long speaks more tactfully, while Li Lianjie is more straightforward. But if we say which is better or worse, we can only see the benevolent and the wise see the wise.
After that, the interview with Cheng Long and Li Lianjie ended, and the premiere came to an end, but the host did not let them leave, but invited the director, Li Binbin, and Liu Yifei, as if they wanted to make a summary. But I don't know if it was intentional or a moment of negligence. They ignored Jang Sung-won.
In Zhang Chengyuan's opinion, it is more likely that the organizer deliberately arranged it this way, but he didn't feel angry, anyway, he didn't want to go on stage, because he knew that he was just a small supporting role tonight, and it was normal for no one to pay attention to it, after all, this was in China, not South Korea, and there were two international superstars by his side, so he was very calm. Of course, if he had received this kind of cold reception in South Korea, he would have left long ago.
It's just that although Zhang Chengyuan didn't think about going on stage, Cheng Long didn't forget him, borrowed a microphone from a host, and shouted: "Chengyuan, you come up too!" Li Lianjie also looked at Zhang Chengyuan, beckoned to him, and motioned for him to come up. Although Li Binbin and Liu Yifei didn't say anything, they also looked at him with a smile.
It was difficult to be gracious, Zhang Chengyuan had to stand up and walk to the stage, his demeanor was calm, his demeanor was natural, his pace seemed to be soothing and leisurely but quite fast, he arrived on the stage at once, and he looked very good, so although the audience was slightly surprised by his appearance, they were not disgusted.
As soon as Zhang Chengyuan came to the stage, Cheng Long habitually pulled him to his side, and picked up the microphone to introduce to the people present: "This is Zhang Chengyuan, this time in "The King of Kung Fu" to play the villain Yujiang God of War, he is a good friend who came all the way from South Korea and loves Chinese culture very much, and he is much more fluent in Mandarin than me, and he is also a good friend of me and Li Lianjie, Li Binbin, Liu Yifei and others. Please support him in the future! After hearing Cheng Long's words, Li Lianjie, Li Binbin, Liu Yifei and others all clapped their hands and smiled at the same time to agree.
Although Cheng Long took this opportunity to "sell" Zhang Chengyuan a little "unprofessionally", the four hosts could only stare dryly, and did not dare to say anything to stop it, but a female host asked Zhang Chengyuan a few words quite interestingly, Zhang Chengyuan answered as concisely as possible, his demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, his language was fluent and decent, and his speech was clear and standard. Everyone on and off the stage was amazed.
After that, the host returned to the topic, asking the main creative members standing on the stage to summarize and introduce "The King of Kung Fu" in one or two sentences, and said that it is best to say something interesting or suspenseful, so as to attract fans to come to the cinema to watch the movie.
The first to elaborate was the director, then Liu Yifei, Li Binbin, and then Zhang Chengyuan. Although he was not originally arranged to say it, since he came to power, if he was not allowed to say it, it would be purely a slap in the face, and it was not only a slap in the face of Zhang Chengyuan, but also a slap in the face of Cheng Long, Li Lianjie and others, the host would naturally not be so unwise.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "This is a film about the true meaning of kung fu, but also a film about the love of master and apprentice, friendship, in the filming process of this movie, Brother Cheng Long, Brother Li Lianjie, Sister Binbin, Yifei and other crew members are my mentors and friends, take this opportunity to solemnly thank them, thank them for never treating me as a foreign person, let me fully feel the broad mind of the Chinese." Thank you! He bowed slightly and saluted, and then handed the microphone to Cheng Long next to him.
Whether it can attract the audience or not, Zhang Chengyuan didn't bother to pay attention to it, anyway, what he said didn't have much weight, what he said was equal to saying it in vain, it was better to take this opportunity to thank Cheng Long and others, and help them promote their reputation by the way.
Next is the speeches of Li Lianjie and Cheng Long. Because almost all the things that should be said were said by the people in front of them, the two didn't know what to say for a while, so they both found another way, Li Lianjie pulled the words to "human beings are one family", and then said, "This is a movie for the whole family." And bowed to welcome everyone to Yanjing to watch this movie. And Cheng Long exerted his funny skills. Waving his hand and opening his mouth a few times. Pretending to be embarrassed that he couldn't think of anything, he popped out a sentence after the last sentence: "Thank you, thank you!" ”
Everyone naturally knew that he was joking, but seeing that his appearance at this time was really funny, they couldn't help laughing happily.
Subsequently, there was a short donation ceremony, and the object of donation was the public welfare organization "One Foundation" initiated by Li Lianjie. It is worth mentioning that the representative of "One Foundation" this time is actually Li Lianjie's daughter Jane. Zhang Chengyuan didn't know what Li Lianjie's intention was, not only did he do good deeds. also took his daughter with him, is it because he wants to cultivate his daughter's correct values? If he had done something good, he would never have brought his daughter with him, because he didn't want his children to live under the media scrutiny. Of course, with Zhang Chengyuan's current mentality, if he wants him to do charity sincerely, I'm afraid it's impossible.
After the donation ceremony, everyone got off the stage and returned to their seats, and then watched the singing of the ending song of "The King of Kung Fu", the last show of the premiere. So far. The premiere officially ended, and then Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and other guests also began to leave.
It wasn't getting late. At the invitation of Li Lianjie, Zhang Chengyuan went to a high-end restaurant with him for supper, accompanied by Cheng Long, Li Binbin and Liu Yifei. This gathering can be regarded as a send-off banquet for Zhang Chengyuan, because tomorrow morning, Zhang Chengyuan will leave for South Korea - he has a lot of things to do in South Korea, so naturally he can't stay in China longer, and even if he stays in China, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Liu Yifei, and Li Binbin can't have any time to accompany him, after all, everyone is a busy person.
In the party, the five of them just chatted casually and didn't say anything important, but most of the topics revolved around Zhang Chengyuan. This is not only because Zhang Chengyuan is the protagonist of this farewell banquet, but also because the intimate relationship between the five people is connected by Zhang Chengyuan, otherwise, the two superstars Cheng Long and Li Lianjie can certainly cherish each other, Li Binbin and Liu Yifei, the two beauties, can certainly become sisters with a good relationship, but Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, two older men and Li Binbin and Liu Yifei, the two little women, are afraid that they will not be close. After all, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are both family men, and it's not good to be too close to young women, but with Zhang Chengyuan here, it's much easier to get along, and the two of them can be regarded as Zhang Chengyuan's friends and even confidants.
After gathering for an hour and a half, Li Binbin and Liu Yifei left first, and then stayed for another hour, Cheng Long and Zhang Chengyuan also separated from Li Lianjie, and then they returned to their respective residences.
After returning to the hotel, Cheng Long and Zhang Chengyuan did not rest immediately, but drank again, talking by the way.
After chatting for a while, Cheng Long suddenly said: "Cheng Yuan, I have something to tell you, next month, I will go to South Korea to serve as the propaganda ambassador of Hallyuwu, and I may have to stay in Seoul for two days and one night, and then I will live at your house." ”
Zhang Chengyuan listened, and said with some hesitation: "Big brother, you still live in a hotel, and I will accompany you to the hotel to relieve your boredom." ”
Cheng Long smiled: "Aren't I welcome to live at your house?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Of course not, big brother!" It's just that my house is very simple, and there is no spare room, but I'm afraid it's not suitable for you to live in. "It doesn't matter if it's just Cheng Long alone, the key is that he often has a large number of people around him to follow and protect him, and there is no vacancy in his apartment or home for the people around him.
Cheng Long said: "If you are worried that there are many people around me and it is difficult to arrange, I will send them away, it is rare to go to South Korea, how can I not visit your house?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said with a smile: "Big brother, do you think I am a rich man like you, with a lot of mansions?" My house is small and broken, and there is really nothing to look at, and you will definitely be disappointed when you see it. Compared with Cheng Long's mansion, Zhang Chengyuan's old house is indeed "small and dilapidated", although it has spent a lot of money to rebuild and renovate it more than a year ago.
Cheng Long was a little puzzled: "As far as I know, you have been a popular star in South Korea for some years, and you still have a lot of industries, why haven't you bought a new house yet?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan explained: "Being a star in South Korea doesn't make a lot of money, compared to the same level of stars in China, I am already very good at making money among Korean stars, but all the assets can almost buy a detached mansion in Seoul." I don't like a normal house, so now I have to live in an apartment, and maybe it will take a few more years to buy a big house that I am satisfied with. ”
Cheng Long said in a deep voice: "This year, except for a few countries such as China, the global economy seems to be very sluggish, but I am afraid that it will be more difficult for you to make money in South Korea, otherwise, you come to Chinese mainland to invest, in comparison, the prospects for investing here are better." ”
"I have this idea, but I am a Korean national, and I don't know anyone in China, so even if I want to, I can't get in. Of course, if you're willing to help, big brother, that's a different story. Zhang Chengyuan said without hypocrisy. In front of Cheng Long, there is no need for him to conceal his intentions, otherwise it is very likely that not only will he not be able to conceal it, but it will also damage the affection of the two.
Cheng Long said: "Since I made this suggestion to you, I naturally have the intention to help you, well, I still have some connections in Chinese mainland, if you need help in this area in the future, just open your mouth and tell me!" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Brother Xie Lu, if there is such a day, I will definitely speak." (To be continued......)
