Li Tang chatted with Director Xiao Teng for a while, and saw Diao Yinan sitting alone in the corner, so he walked over to say hello: "Teacher Diao!" ”

"Teacher Li!" Diao Yinan hurriedly stood up, and the etiquette was quite in place.

Li Tang felt that he was very similar to Lou Ye, and he didn't like to talk very much. But if you talk about social fear, these two are very fond of joining in the fun, making a phone call to invite them to dinner or attending an event or something, basically on call. But when you arrive at the place, you often stay alone and quietly, and it always seems a little out of place.

"Sit sit, sit sit."

Li Tang pulled Diao Yinan to sit down and asked, "Teacher Diao, how is the script you talked about last time?" ”

He was very interested in the story that Diao Yinan told last time. The main thing is that the company was established, and now it is facing the problem of how to carry out the project.

To be honest, with the current situation in China, if you want to make some normal commercial movies, there is no drama at all. The reality is there, piracy is rampant, the box office market is in a serious recession, and movie theaters everywhere have opened game halls and billiard rooms, resulting in fewer and fewer screens.

Unless today's domestic market is the kind of small-cost comedy, it is small and broad, and Feng's Chinese New Year comedy is a successful example, but unfortunately it cannot be replicated, and those who follow the trend are dying miserably.

But this is always a way, and at present, Li Tang is also ready to try this aspect, which is Wu Bin's "Surprising Win" recommended by Xu Guangtou. The investment is not big, and if it succeeds, it can be regarded as a way out, and even if it fails, it will not lose much.

In addition, there is no domestic market at all, so we can only rely on overseas film festivals. Li Tang was quite successful in this regard, and got on the line with the French MK2, both works were promoted to the overseas market, and "The Third Man" also allowed him to dig the first pot of gold.

But Li Tang also knows that there is a chance in this, to put it bluntly, it is lucky, which happens to bring a sense of freshness to overseas audiences. However, this model is destined to not last long, after all, the mainstream themes of Chinese films at overseas film festivals are all marginal and bottom-level, just like Section Chief Jia's "Xiao Wu".

Realistic style, gray tones, dirty mess, ignorance and backwardness, so as to meet the kind of movie-watching taste of Western audiences with the inherent impression of China.

At present, the company intends to take the path of diversification, that is, no matter how bad the domestic market is, it will not give up, and test the waters of small-budget comedy along the successful path of Feng's comedy. Overseas film festivals are still the mainstream of the company, but you can't rely on luck, you still have to abide by the laws of the market, and shoot whatever the market needs.

The kind of script that Diao Yinan is writing has a realistic theme similar to that of Chief Jia, focusing on depicting the living conditions of marginalized and low-level people.

The reason why I am interested is because his story represents the most real group of people around him, compromising for the reality of life, struggling to live on a certain level of society.

Especially participating in the award ceremony of the Huabiao Awards, he felt more and more that the film should not only praise virtue, but also portray the real life conditions of the people at the bottom of the society. For example, he saw at the Cannes Film Festival a realistic work directed by Liu Bingjian "The Crying Woman".

"It's almost written." Diao Yinan said.

"Then can you show me first?" Li Tang said.

After the last conversation, Diao Yinan once revealed that he wanted to direct himself and wanted to cooperate with Section Chief Jia, but he still wanted to fight for it.

"Uh...... Good! ”

Diao Yinan hesitated slightly, but nodded in agreement.

After this period of contact, Li Tang has a little understanding of the person in front of him. To say that it sounds good is to save face, which will always hinder the situation; To put it mildly, he has a cowardly personality and is not very good at refusing.

A gentleman deceives him!

This is not the time to speak, Li Tang plans to get the script in his hands first, and then talk to him for a good time.

The company now has a total of two signed directors, and Cheng Er is indeed a ghost director, but this product is too demanding for himself, so that the work efficiency is very low. It's been more than a year since the filming of "The Third Man", and there is still no news of the new script. Including Shanghai Film Studio, they also want to cultivate him, but he can't read the script sent to the door, and he doesn't seem to have a good direction to write it himself. Recently, I heard that I was going to go to the south of Caiyun to pick up wind or something.

In short, this is the master, even if there are no works for the time being, he has to offer.

In comparison, Zhang Baibai is much cuter. Last time, the two of them had a fireside night talk in Venice, talking about Grange Zhuang's "Spring in a Small Town", and then extended to his previous "Blue Kite", when it was said that this might be Director Tian's personal experience, Li Tang suddenly wanted to ask Zhang Baibai: "Why don't you shoot your inner suffering?" ”

Zhang Baibai is eleven years older than him, since he was sensible, he has experienced the whole special era, after graduating from secondary school, he mixed in a small coal mine for four years, to be honest, it is not easy for him to embark on this road now, and he has experienced a lot of hardships in the process of growing up.

Zhang Baibai said seriously at that time: "I really don't really want to shoot the low-level life I have experienced, I don't think the movie necessarily has to show what I have experienced, I prefer to experience the things that are missing in my life experience through the movie." ”

After speaking, he smiled and said: "I'm old now, I've already made four pictures, and I can't go back to when I was young, and I didn't experience those beautiful loves when I was young, but I can experience it now by making movies." ”

I have to say that his open-minded personality has created a more positive side for him, in fact, such a director is more adaptable to the market and more creative.

As for Diao Yinan, since he intends to be a director, Li Tang's idea is to play two shots first if there are dates or not. If the script is really good and the investment is not large, then persuade him to cooperate with the company. As for sending him an assistant director who understands technology during filming, let's try it first.

Yu Dong answered the phone and found Li Tang sitting in the corner, so he walked over quickly and said, "Mr. Han is here, and he will be there soon." ”

"Mr. Han is here?"

Li Tang hurriedly stood up when he heard this, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Because of Yu Dong's relationship, Li Tang handed over the invitation to Mr. Han to him, so as not to be suspected of overstepping his responsibilities when he came forward.

In fact, today's premiere is not only to promote the release of the movie, but also a new appearance of the newly established Shengtang Film and Television in Beijing.

If it is just propaganda and momentum, it is enough to have the finale of director Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ziyi, but the nature of Mr. Han's arrival is different, representing the official recognition of Shengtang Film and Television. Through the media reporters at the scene, they told their peers that Shengtang Film and Television also has heels, and it is not just a cat or dog that can be bullied.

Yu Dong also said with a beaming face: "Yes, I will definitely be able to catch up with the red carpet." ”

"Good! Mr. Yu, he still has a big face! Li Tang said with a smile.

"Where, the invitation has been sent a long time ago, and there has been no response, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to complete the task." Yu Dong felt a special face at this time.

He is a distributor, to put it bluntly, it depends on the relationship between the top and the bottom, and Mr. Han is his biggest backer.

For example, Director Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ziyi are probably afraid of trouble and stay in the car, and go directly to the red carpet for a while, helping to build momentum even if they have given enough face.

But the only figure who didn't see Jiang Qinqin made Li Tang inevitably feel a little disappointed and guilty.

"Brother, it's almost time."

Zeng Jia walked over quickly, today she is the commander-in-chief of the premiere, almost all the staff of the company are dispatched, and everything is in order so far.

She also knew that Jiang Qinqin hadn't seen anyone yet, so she looked at Li Tang's face, swallowed back the words on her lips, and just urged: "Brother, you can go over." ”

"Good!"

According to the process, the main creative team was the first to appear, and then the guests appeared one after another in order, and as the main creative team, they stood at the door of the theater to greet them.

When Li Tang walked out of the lounge, he glanced in the direction of the back door with some reluctance, but he still didn't see the figure he was looking forward to.

Today is just a simple red carpet, and the notification is only the news media, and considering the safety factors, it is not widely publicized, so in addition to reporters, there are not too many fans who came to watch the excitement at the scene.

After all, the premiere is just a gimmick, creating news and topics, and more relying on the media to promote it.

However, when the main creative team led by Li Tang and Xu Jinglei stepped on the red carpet, they still ushered in the cheers of fans, and almost all of them were called Li Tang and Xu Jinglei's names. Gao Yuanyuan, who is dressed in a little fresh dress, is still only a little transparent, but her beauty still attracts the attention of fans, and occasionally she will hear a surprise "clear-mouthed girl"!

After the main creative team walked across the red carpet and stood at the door of the theater as a welcome, when people like Diao Yinan, Meng Jinhui, Xiao Tengdao and others came over, fans reacted generally, most of them didn't know each other, but the flashes of those reporters didn't stop at all, they all knew the goods.

Surprisingly, Mr. Han did not have the finale, but walked over with Yu Dong and one of the film's producers, Hou Kemin, a professor at Nortel and director of Qingying Studio, talking and laughing.

Li Tang hurriedly stepped forward.

"Mr. Han, thank you for appreciating the light!"

"Teacher Hou!"

"Haha, Xiao Li, today's meeting is big enough!" Mr. Han held his hand and smiled.

"I just want to have a lively time, and I want to be strong!"

"Yes, yes, I think we really need to change our thinking now, and many good movies have not been good at the box office, and I think the publicity work has not been done at home. I hope there will be more and more premieres like today's in the future. ”

The domestic box office market is sluggish, and there is still a lot of pressure on him, the general manager of China Film. After all, the General Administration integrated various advantageous resources to establish China Film on the basis of Beijing Film Studio, just to revitalize the film industry.

But two or three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and today's film market has not only not changed its decline, but has even deteriorated. Although there are many objective factors in this, the quality of domestic films is not good, and the audience is unwilling to watch it, which is also an indisputable fact.

Today, "The Subway to Spring" held a lively premiere with great fanfare, and Mr. Han was still happy to see it, and he was willing to come over to have a show.

In the end, Mr. Han patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Xiao Li, well done!" ”

"Thank you, Mr. Han!"

Hou Keming didn't have as many lofty tirades as Mr. Han, but said with a smile: "Xiao Li, happy cooperation, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future." ”

"Mr. Han, Mr. Hou, Mr. Yu, please, please ...... inside"

Just as Li Tang beckoned Mr. Han and the others into the theater, he suddenly heard a commotion in the crowd outside, and then heard the cheers of the fans: "Golden lock!" ”

"Bingbing!"

However, it is still the golden lock that accounts for the majority, which shows that Xiaopang has debuted for so many years, and he is still eating his old book.

For the cheers of the fans, Li Tang was not surprised at all, he had already seen Xiaopang's bright robe last night, and he was absolutely killed in seconds as soon as he appeared.

Looking at it from a distance, sure enough, a more eye-catching red appeared on the red carpet, and the small shawl that was worn outside before was gone, adding a bit of sexiness and elegance.

When Li Tang saw this scene, the corners of his mouth inevitably turned up slightly, and the pride in his heart overflowed, this is his woman, and others only have envy!

Not only men are envious, but women are also envious and even jealous, especially Xu Jinglei and Gao Yuanyuan, who were standing beside him at this time, saw the snow-white skin exposed on the outside of Xiaopang's red dress, they were inevitably a little ashamed, and the key people were still beautiful.

Xu Jinglei even whispered sourly: "Teacher Li, Yanfu is not shallow!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, we're just good friends." Li Tang hurriedly corrected.

Faced with the shameless appearance of this goods with no silver of three hundred taels here, Xu Jinglei almost didn't break the defense, and forced a smile and said: "Oh, yes, good friend!" ”

And Gao Yuanyuan, who was standing on the other side, heard the conversation between the two, and secretly pursed her lips, not knowing whether she was disdainful or unconvinced.

Just as the little fat on the red carpet walked past the fan group and posed very skillfully in front of the reporter's camera, there was suddenly a burst of cheers again: "Jiang Qinqin!" Qinqin! ”

"Wow, that's beautiful! It feels even more beautiful than the bright moon on TV! ”

Jiang Qinqin, Zhao Wentable, and He Rundong starred in "Fengyun" was broadcast on Beijing TV some time ago, and she played the two roles of Second Dream and Mingyue alone.

Li Tang was stunned instantly, not only was he stunned, but even Fan Xiaopang, who was posing on the red carpet, felt very surprised and couldn't help but look back.

I saw a white figure slowly walking in at the steps of the door, although a white dress is only a common style of suspenders with deep V, but it is really white clothes and snow, especially against the background of the red carpet, it looks particularly eye-catching.

As the white figure slowly approached, Fan Xiaopang finally saw clearly.

Today's Jiang Qinqin is usually black and straight, compared to her flaming red lips, people just wear a faint nude lip gloss, and her fair and delicate skin has a translucent beauty.

She didn't know anything about Jiang Qinqin's arrival today, but at this time, seeing people getting closer and closer, she finally swallowed her saliva quietly and shouted: "Sister Qinqin!" ”

"Bingbing!"

Jiang Qinqin walked a few steps quickly and took the initiative to stretch out her hand.

The two beauties, one red and one white, met on the red carpet, and just as the two hands were holding together, a large number of flashing lights suddenly lit up around them. Photojournalists are knowledgeable, and no one will miss such a beautiful moment.

And Li Tang, who was dumbfounded, was shouting in his heart at this time: "Lying in a big groove, what do you mean......"

Before he could come up with a suitable sentence to describe the scene in front of him, he heard Xu Jinglei, who was known as a talented woman beside him, suddenly exclaimed: "Wow, red roses and white roses!" ”

No, the state hasn't been adjusted yet, and I'm always distracted when coding words. Obviously I have ideas in my head, but I will always stumble when coding words, and I often sit for a long time for a sentence that connects the previous and the next, and wander the world.
