China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

Time flies by and it’s December 16th.

The super giant world premiere of "The Golden Jacket" opened grandly at Beijing Film Studio.

As an invited reporter, Lin Xiaohui got two tickets for the premiere. She packed them up early this morning and brought her husband Zhang Qiang to the venue.

"Husband, we're entering."

Lin Xiaohui shook Zhang Qiang's sleeves, and Zhang Qiang looked at him to show that he understood, and then continued to call.

Zhang Qiang is in the tourism business. In the past few years, his business has been getting better and better. The economy has improved greatly, but he has also lost a lot of time.

In this regard, Lin Xiaohui was a little helpless, and naturally she was not in a good mood.

Fortunately, Zhang Qiang is a good man.

After Lin Xiaohui reminded her and saw that she looked aggrieved, she quickly ended the work at hand.

He quickly hung up the phone, and then took the initiative to help Lin Xiaohui take the bag: "I'll buy you a bottle of water."

Lin Xiaohui smiled: "Hubby, I want popcorn, chocolate flavor."

"Don't be afraid of being fat."

"Don't be afraid, someone wants it anyway."

"Then buy more and eat you like a big fat pig!"

After a few words, the two seemed to be back in love again.

Lin Xiaohui couldn't help but sigh, time flies by so fast.

In fact, Lin Xiaohui doesn't pay much attention to watching movies.

She is not an entertainment reporter, but a metropolitan newspaper reporter.

This time I came here just to take over the company's task and report on another grand premiere of Lao Mouzi. This is definitely a big event in the capital today.

And covering the premiere is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to celebrate the wedding anniversary with my husband.

After Lao Mouzi entered the 21st century, his movies were not very good, but his premiere was one of the best in the country.

Among domestic film directors, Lao Mouzi was the first to use this large-scale method to promote films.

It was from that time on that many people in China realized that movies could be subdivided into commercial movies.

Regardless of whether it is commercial or non-commercial, Lin Xiaohui is very grateful to Lao Mouzi for such a large-scale premiere operation.

Because in 2002, the premiere of "Hero" was so lively that there was a traffic jam outside the premiere.

Because of the traffic jam, Lin Xiaohui was unable to catch the train, and then she met her current husband Zhang Qiang.

At that time, Zhang Qiang used his status as a tour guide to solve a major transportation problem for her.

So today they came to the premiere.

Not for the movie, but to commemorate their 4th anniversary together and their first wedding anniversary in this way.

"I've bought it, let's go."

At this time, Zhang Qiang bought popcorn drinks and greeted with a smile.

At only 30 years old, although he is a little more wealthy, he is also much more vicissitudes than four years ago.

"Thank you for your hard work, husband."

Lin Xiaohui gently held his arm.

"Why bother, just buy some popcorn."

"Thank you for coming to watch a movie with me."

"What's the matter? Next time you bring your whole family over, I'll accompany you as well."

"Thanks husband."

"Oh, you are so boring. You are almost thirty."

"you dislike me."

"I was wrong, I was wrong, our queen will always be eighteen years old"

The two of them were chatting and laughing, just like four years ago. They followed the flow of people and entered the screening room of Beijing Film Studio.

Entering the screening hall, the scene inside instantly amazed everyone.

Inside the hall, the walls and the dais on both sides were made of seven-color glazed glass, making the Beijing Film Studio studio where the premiere was held look exactly like the harem on TV.

Nearly a hundred spotlights are projected from the 10-meter-high ceiling, and the light is reflected from the glazed wall, reflecting colorful light on the white grand piano on the left side of the stage.

A crane-type camera keeps moving in mid-air, another camera runs back and forth on a pre-paved track, and there are five other positioning cameras around it to aim their lenses at the stage.

The entire stage looked splendid and resplendent, with a strong smell of royal money. It looked almost like the Spring Festival Gala stage.

No wonder this movie is called "The Golden Jacket".

"This scene is much better than two years ago!"

The two were as amazed as many movie fans.

They also went to the premiere of House of Flying Daggers two years ago.

It was also big and nice, but it didn't seem as refined as it is today.

"That's right, I'm Lao Mouzi, and he spent 60 million!"

Lin Xiaohui began to popularize science.

The entire "Golden Armor" premiere was said to have cost 60 million!

The investment is equivalent to one film of "Ride Alone, Thousands of Miles" or 6 films of "Twenty Again"!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Zhang Qiang was stunned.

60 million, your own travel agency will have to earn it for decades!

Lin Xiaohui added: "This time Lao Mouzi went to break the box office record."

"Ping An Lu's record?"

"Yes, it's 400 million. Only Lao Mouzi in the country can break it."

"Then do you think it will work this time?"

"I don't know about that. Their competition among big directors has nothing to do with us. We just need to watch the movie."

Zhang Qiang nodded: "Yes, I hope the movie can be better, otherwise it will be too wasteful."

Like many people, the actual effect of such a grand event is completely different from what it was a few years ago.

People have been baptized by all kinds of so-called big productions and blockbusters. Lao Mouzi’s two grand premieres in a row turned out to be useless. The huge thunder of "The Promise" caused drizzle. The case is still hanging in the air. Neck tree, very memorable.

Many people have begun to feel tired of this kind of "extravagant" and "over-publicity".

So while everyone lamented the grand spectacle, in fact, their expectations for the movie were not particularly high.

Soon, there was no empty seat in the auditorium that could accommodate 1,200 people. Zhang Qiang sat down in his seat, and Lin Xiaohui started working, holding the recording equipment with the reporters, waiting for the process to begin.

After a while, Zhang Weipin, the producer of "The City of Gold" arrived, followed by a number of celebrities, and the premiere ceremony began.

The absence of Gong Huang, Fa Ge, and Lao Mouzi disappointed the reporters who came to interview. However, the famous variety show host Cai Kangyong, Wu Zongxian, Tao Jingying, Zeng Baoyi, and Aya who is studying in Laos and the United States were all hosted. Fang was invited to the scene and appeared at the premiere wearing Tang suits together with four mainland hosts including Guo Taoer, He Juan and Shen Xing.

As usual, Zong Xian made fun of Aya's breasts, while Cai Kangyong and Tao Jingying interviewed the leading actors in the film, including Liu Ye and Jay Chou.

Guo Taoer aroused laughter from the audience as soon as she appeared on the stage.

After a group of Latin dancers danced around Jay, Lao Mouzi "appeared".

Zhang Yimou, who is directing the opera "Qin Shi Huang" in New York, USA, made a live satellite connection through four satellite switching points and delivered his speech at the premiere in the Reuters live broadcast hall in Times Square, New York. The large screen transmitting images occupied the stage. The entire wall in the center.

He commented that the program was "very entertaining", and then Jaylen talked about the topic of "listening to your mother". A set of related photos appeared on the big screen, and then a voiceover came from a mother telling her child about watching him grow up. Finally, Lian Jie walked from the guest seats to the stage and began a speech calling on everyone to participate in the charity fund.

Ten minutes later, the movie officially started, and more than two hours later, the movie ended.

There was applause.

Lin Xiaohui's expression remained unchanged.

In her opinion, the movie was actually what she expected.

The thunder was loud, but the raindrops were not very loud.

To put it harshly, this movie is almost considered a bad movie.

If I were to rate it, I would give it six or seven points.

Anyway, just watching it for a while will be enough. She will definitely not be happy to watch it again, let alone asking her to buy a ticket to watch it.

Lin Xiaohui made a fair comment.

But at least it's an improvement compared to "House of Flying Daggers".

And there are many advantages.

She is not a filmmaker or an entertainment reporter, but she also has a certain appreciation ability and understands the perspective of ordinary viewers better.

In her opinion, although the story of "Golden Armor" is still not very good, it is still on the passing line. In addition, the graphics, scenes, etc. are still top-notch.

The cast is also quite attractive.

I won’t talk about Fa Ge and Gong Huang.

Especially Jaylen.

Jay's acting skills are certainly not as good as the first two.

But it seems that because he was trained twice by Lu Ping'an, his performance this time was actually okay.

The most important thing is that Jay is a big star in the music industry and has a large fan base.

Including Lin Xiaohui herself also likes this singer.

Now that Jaylen is performing well, this will naturally bring positive benefits.

Jay Clen's box office appeal in recent years has also been very good, as evidenced by "Initial D".

So with him around, many people will enter the cinema.

Of course there are many other gimmicks in the movie.

For example, those white steamed buns.

Lin Xiaohui understands men.

Based on this alone, the box office of "Golden Armor" will not be bad.

Of course, there are also flaws, such as the plot, the fights at the end, etc., there are many.

But in general, in her opinion, "The Golden Armor" will not be less attractive to ordinary audiences in the future. At least it will not repeat the mistakes of "House of Flying Daggers", let alone "The Promise". People felt that it was totally not worth the ticket price and they had to curse.

So "The Golden Jacket" probably won't be able to break the box office record, but the results will certainly not be too bad.

Lin Xiaohui analyzed it, then turned around and asked: "Husband, am I right?"

As a result, Zhang Qiang next to him started calling again: "Hey, what, okay, okay, I'll come over now."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaohui felt depressed again.

My husband is busy again!

After Zhang Qiang finished the call, Lin Xiaohui asked: "We're on a business trip again, so let's go back quickly and I'll help you prepare clothes."

"no."

Zhang Qiang shook his head, "Xiaohui, there is something I told you to hold on to."

"What's wrong."

"Our dad is sick."

"Father-in-law?"

"No, it's your dad. He's suspected of having gastric cancer. Xiaohui, Xiaohui!"
