Chapter 118: The premiere sensational news

On December 20, 2007, the large-scale war-themed film "Assembly Number" produced by Huayi Brothers Media, directed by Feng Xiaogang, and starring Zhang Hanyu, Deng Chao, Yuan Wenkang, Tang Yan, Liao Fan, Hu Jun, Wang Baoxian, Ren Quan, etc., was officially released nationwide.

As soon as the film was released, it immediately sparked a nationwide movie-watching boom.

As of the evening of the 21st, the national box office of "Assembly Number" was nearly 15 million. From the analysis of the box office data on the first day of release, "Assembly Number" is expected to break through the 200 million yuan mark at the box office, and it is expected that there will be no problem in being shortlisted for the top three box office in 2007.

As of December 20, 2007, the annual box office champion was director Li Mu's work "Super Body", with a domestic box office of 310 million, and the runner-up was Hollywood's imported blockbuster "Transformers", with a domestic box office of 268.7 million.

Considering that the release dates of the three films "The King of Kung Fu", "Yangtze River No. 7" and "How to Steal the Key" are all set for January 30 next year, it is not surprising that the third place at the box office in 2007 is already "The Assembly".

The time soon came to January 6, 2008, and on this day, the box office of the movie "Assembly Number" officially exceeded the 200 million yuan mark.

At the press conference held by the crew, film producer Wang Zhonglei openly advocated the concept of "Spring Festival file" when faced with questions from reporters, and called on audiences across the country to support the movie "King of Kung Fu" that will be released during the Spring Festival.

Wang Zhonglei also promised that starting from this year, Huayi Brothers will produce at least one customized film for the Spring Festival every year to give back to the vast number of movie audiences across the country, and thank everyone for their tolerance and support to Huayi Brothers Company over the years.

So far, a group of well-known filmmakers in China - director Li Mu, the king of comedy Zhou Xingzhi, kung fu superstar Cheng Long, Li Lianlian, Chinese pop music king Zhou Jielun, Huayi Brothers Media Wang Zhonglei and others have all stood up and publicly responded to the call to create Spring Festival files.

For a while, the concept of "Spring Festival stalls" began to fill the TV media and the entire Internet world, and it caused widespread social discussion in a short period of time.

It's mid-January.

That night.

At this time, Li Mu had already washed up and was lying on the bed ready to rest at any time, when Liu Yifei suddenly sent a text message.

"Did you sleep?"

Li Mu looked at this classic opening line and smiled, and then replied:

"Not yet, I can't sleep alone."

"Oh." Liu Yifei replied, "You are an international director, a great writer, and a rich man, there should be many beautiful women who will take the initiative to give them a hug, right? How can you be alone?"

Li Mu said: "There are two kinds of beauties in the entertainment industry, one is a famous flower, we can't do that kind of thing."

Liu Yifei replied, "Isn't there another kind of nameless flower that has an owner?"

Li Mu said, "No one wants it, and I don't want it either!"

At this time, Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone almost laughed, but she still remembered the purpose of contacting Li Mu tonight.

"I don't know where you learned these strange things, don't do it, then you'll stay single - actually, I need your consent to find you tonight."

Li Mu replied, "Need my consent?" It's really stumped for me, tell me about it!"

Maybe it was because he disliked typing too slowly, so Liu Yifei directly dialed the phone: "It's that the premiere of "The King of Kung Fu" will hold a celebration party, with a scale of about four or five hundred people."

"Wang Zhonglei, Mr. Wang's intention is to invite world-famous DJs to DJs at that time, and he also said that he will invite the leading actors of the movie to perform at the party."

"If I was asked to perform a show, I wouldn't do anything else, either dancing or singing, and I liked the song you sang in the car that day, can I sing it at the party?"

"You're talking about the song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky"!" Li Mu pulled a long voice and said, "That song was written after years of hard thinking and meditation, and it is the most satisfying song for me so far. It is no exaggeration to say that this song alone can make a singer popular, maybe a singer can eat for a lifetime with this song! All in all, the value of this song is immeasurable."

"Hmm...... ...... then," Liu Yifei didn't know a little, "That...... So how are you going to let me sing this song at the party?"

"Well...... Li Mu suddenly laughed, "I don't want you a million, and I don't want you two million." So, when you sing this song at the party, someone should ask you who wrote this song, right? When the time comes, you can reply to them and say that this is a song written for you by the very handsome Li Mu, who you have always had a crush on."

"Huh?"

Liu Yifei was stunned: "Are you serious?"

Li Mu said: "Of course it's true, anyway, if you want to sing this song, then follow what I said."

Liu Yifei snorted: "I won't say it, when the time comes, I will have to perform a dance, or sing a song of Wang Fei, who is rare in your song!"

"It's not uncommon, forget it." After speaking, Li Mu hung up the phone and rested.

And Liu Yifei, who was on the other end of the phone, was entangled for almost a whole night because of Li Mu's words.

Since listening to Li Mu sing the song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" in the car that day, she has completely fallen in love with this song.

After that, she begged Li Mu to teach her this song, and since then she usually hums this song the most in her mouth, which is why she thought of this song immediately after the crew asked her to perform the show.

But now that Li Mu says that he doesn't agree with her singing, what should he do?

Is she really going to say she has a crush on that guy at the premiere? Do you really want to praise him for being very handsome?

Bah!

She would rather starve to death than do such a shameful thing!

In the blink of an eye, it was January 30, 2008.

On this day, Zhou Xingzhi's three-year film "Yangtze River No. 7" held its world premiere in Xiangjiang, and at the premiere, Zhou Xingzhi took the hand of the young actor Xu Jiao into the venue, attracting a large number of onlookers. And Zhang Yuqi, Huang Lei and other actors also attended the day's promotional activities.

Almost at the same time, the crew of the movie "The King of Kung Fu" spent tens of millions of dollars to hold a grand premiere, and the film's producers Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, director Rob Minkov, starring Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Liu Yifei, Fan Binbin, Michael Angrano and others walked across the red carpet in turn, causing bursts of long-lasting cheers from the audience.

The red carpet show was followed by an hour-long celebration party, where more than 500 guests and creators gathered to bring the atmosphere to a climax through various interactive programs.

At the end of the party, Liu Yifei, the heroine of the movie, sang an original song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" for everyone.

Just three days before the premiere, Li Mu made a special call to tell her that he was actually teasing her before, and she could sing whichever song she wanted.

[The brightest star in the night sky.]

Can you hear clearly

The one who looks

Loneliness and sighs in the bottom of my heart

Whenever I can't find the meaning of existence

Whenever I get lost in the night

oh The brightest star in the night sky

Oh, please light me up

I pray to have a transparent heart

and eyes that will shed tears

Give me the courage to believe again

oh go over the lie to hug you]

To tell the truth, Liu Yifei's singing skills are not enough to sing the true essence of this song, but the guests at the scene were indeed amazed by the song of the fairy sister.

The words are good, the songs are good, and there is a kind of uplifting power.

As the lyrics say, "Whenever I can't find the meaning of existence, whenever I get lost in the night, oh the brightest star in the night sky......

It's as if this song can really bring strength to people in confusion.

At the end of the song, many guests at the scene were immersed in the singing and lyrics just now, and it was not until the scene erupted in extremely warm applause that everyone reacted, followed by even more enthusiastic applause.

There were constantly excited cheers from the guests.

Then the host came to the stage.

"Hello, I remember that before the singing, you said that it was an original song, and now we have seen it, and this song has conquered all the guests at the scene. I think there must be many people who are as curious about this song as I am, so now I will ask the question in my heart on behalf of you, that is, who is the songwriter of this song? Is it you?"

Liu Yifei said: "No, where did I write this kind of song."

The host asked, "Can you tell us who wrote this song?" Have we all heard this man's name? I don't think it's easy to write this kind of song, but it's a musician who has been famous for a long time, right?"

At this time, Liu Yifei suddenly blushed, the red one was a little surprised, the red one was a little sudden, and even the host showed a surprised look.

"It is said that there is something in the eyes of a lover, but in fact, in the eyes of a lover, how can you not be the brightest star in the night sky?" The host's reaction was really fast, and when he saw Liu Yifei's face flushing, he immediately said, "Then let me guess, this song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" is actually a confessional love song written by a boy who has a crush on Yifei to Yifei, right?"

The guests at the scene all quieted down when they heard this, although they knew that Liu Yifei would never expose their relationship on the scene today, but everyone couldn't help but wait with interest to see Liu Yifei's reply.

"Actually......" Liu Yifei brought the microphone to his lips, "Actually, this song was written by a very handsome and handsome boy I have had a crush on for a long time."

He said that he couldn't sing if he didn't do what he said, and he said that he was just teasing her, so why should she be teased by him? At this moment, Liu Yifei inexplicably had a rebellious mentality.

But when she said that, she regretted it, so she saw that her face was almost behind her ears.

Then the scene of the party suddenly fell silent, followed by a tsunami-like noise.

"What did Liu Yifei just say? I feel like I'm hallucinating!"

"Liu Yifei said that this song was written by a very handsome boy she had a crush on - yes, you didn't have auditory hallucinations, it was Liu Yifei who was crazy!"

"What's the situation? Is this going to expose the relationship?"

"Who the hell is this man? Did this save the galaxy in the last life? How dare you let the fairy sister have a crush on him?"

"It's not—Liu Yifei just said that she had a crush, not a crush on her?"

"That's why it's explosive news!"

"Everyone is thinking about who are the male stars in the entertainment industry who can write songs? This song is of such a high level, it can't be the work of some nobody, right? Maybe I'll be able to dig up a big melon tonight!"

"Jay Chou? Lin Junjie? Wang Lihong? Wang Feng? Gao Xiaosu?"

"Gao Xiaosu? Why don't you die!!

The host was also a little dumbfounded, she just asked a question casually, but she didn't expect to almost dig up a super melon in the entertainment industry, so she hurriedly made persistent efforts and asked:

"Who's that guy you like?"

Liu Yifei was coquettish on the spot, and his face was as red as a burning cloud in the sky: "Don't talk about it!"

"It's not that I'm blushing." The host teased and then continued to ask, "Then does the other party know that you like him?"

Liu Yifei only smiled and said nothing this time.

Almost at the same time.

The premiere of the movie "How to Steal the Key" was held at the Wanda Cinema in Beijing. Producer, producer, producer, screenwriter Li Mu, director Shen Junsheng, starring Shen Teng, Huang Bo, Gao Yuanyuan, etc. attended the premiere.

On the big screen behind the stage, a movie clip was played, and then Huang Bo sang and walked to the center of the stage:

[Raise your head and look.]

Heaven and earth are vast

There will be a kind of longing in my heart called home

Covered in wounds

I broke ...... alone in the wind and rain]

At the end of the song, Huang Bo temporarily played the role of host, only to see that he first briefly introduced the general situation of the movie to the guests, and then invited the main creators of the film - Li Mu, Shen Junsheng, Shen Teng, Gao Yuanyuan and others to come to the stage one by one, and finally he himself unknowingly mixed into the main creative team.

pick up

The two hosts of the movie channel took the stage to take over the responsibility of hosting. You must know that today's premiere will be broadcast on the movie channel.

It is worth mentioning that when the group came to the stage, Gao Yuanyuan took the initiative to hold Li Mu's arm, and her behavior was obviously a little intimate, and after coming to the stage, she leaned on Li Mu intentionally or unintentionally, and even her head was about to put on Li Mu's shoulder.

Coupled with her affectionate eyes, many of the audience at the scene already showed a look of surprise.

Li Mu glanced at Gao Yuanyuan next to him, Li Mu, who has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years, has long been surprised by this phenomenon, in fact, Gao Yuanyuan's mind is not difficult to guess at all, it is nothing more than to fight for himself tomorrow.

With Li Mu's status and fame in the entertainment industry today, if any actress behaves intimately with him, she will basically have successfully booked the headlines of tomorrow's major entertainment sections.

What are celebrities pursuing? Not famous yet?

In the case of such a huge benefit, which actress can not help but think a little carefully?

For example, before the crossing, Li Mu saw such a picture - two women and one man attended a press conference together, and in the photo session, one of the actresses leaned her head on the male star's shoulder without a trace, creating a good relationship between the two, the male star glanced at the actress in surprise, and the actress raised her head very embarrassed.

It is not easy for female stars to be famous, Li Mu did not give a warning in his eyes like the male star in his previous life, he is still soft-hearted sometimes.

Of course, this is not unrelated to Gao Yuanyuan's beauty point that just grows up in him, if it is replaced by Aunt Ximen who is filming costume dramas with Jiao Enjun, then it is estimated that Li Mu may not be as simple as a warning with his eyes.

In the next interactive session with the audience, some viewers were very curious about the song that Huang Bo sang when he came on stage just now, and everyone thought that the song was very good.

"Actually, the songwriter of this song is in the middle of our group today, he is ......" Huang Bo said and stretched out his hands to compare in the direction of Li Mu, "Our producer, producer, and screenwriter Director Li!"

"Director Li can even write songs?"

"If you can write a song, you can sing, Director Li will have a song?"

"Sing a ...... Sing a ......"

The audience began to heckle.

Li Mu raised the microphone and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to sing in advance, let's talk about movies first."

At this time, the host proposed that Li Mu talk about his original intention of creating this movie.

"There is a lot of pressure in today's social competition, and as an ordinary person, I will definitely encounter many, many setbacks on the road of struggle." Li Mu said eloquently, "There may be people who have no fixed place to live at the age of 35, have no fixed job, live in a small basement, and their girlfriend has left him because of this."

"At this point, we instinctively make excuses for our failures, and we also fantasize about what would happen if we had someone else's resources. That's the starting point of this movie, a 35-year-old depressed actor swaps identities with a killer because of an accident, which leads to a series of ridiculous stories. I believe that the reversal of the story at the end will make everyone think deeply, because the little actors in the story are each and every one of us on the scene, and I believe that an extraordinary story that happened to an ordinary little person can resonate with most people."

"Finally, someone just said they wanted to hear me sing? I think there's a song that really matches the theme of the film."
