It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 1235 This is the best era for Chinese movies!

"On its first day of release, the drama film "My Motherland and I," jointly produced by Huaying, Bona, and Alibaba, directed by Chen Kaige, Zhang Yibai, Guan Hu and others, and starring Huang Bo, Zhang Yi, Wu Jing and others, grossed 2.9 million yuan on its first day."

"The disaster/biographical film "The Captain", directed by Kang Honglei and starring Wu Jing, Huang Jingyu, Zhu Yawen and Zhou Xun, grossed 2.45 million yuan on its first day."

"The movie "The Climbers", produced by Shanghai Film Group and starring Wu Jing, Zhang Yi, Zhang Ziyi, Jing Boyan and others, grossed 1.54 million yuan on its first day."

"The animated film "Abominable", voiced by Wang Keying and Zhang Zifeng, is officially released today."

"The first Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival will officially kick off today at the Shanhai Film and Television City in Shanxi Province!"

……

As time reaches October 10st, the 1 National Day movie season officially kicks off.

At the same time, the results of the first day of the main theme box office war are finally out.

Due to the influence of the comprehensive scheduling of theaters, "My People, My Country" naturally won the first place, while "The Captain" and "The Climbers" won the second and third place respectively.

This is data based on box office revenue.

But in terms of movie reputation, "Captain" won the well-deserved No.1 result!

The Maoyan overall score of 9.8 points undoubtedly demonstrates its popularity.

Although "My Country, My Parents" also has a high score of 9.4, due to some flaws, many people approve of it, but also quite a few people complain about it.

As for the film review section of "The Climbers", there are too many complaints.

In particular, the character setting of Zhang Ziyi was criticized by many viewers.

He didn't do anything serious, and instead made things worse. In the end, he made an awkward confession to Wu Jing on the top of Mount Everest. It was really speechless.

The final impact was that the comprehensive screening data of "Captain" began to rise, but on the other hand, "The Climbers" kept falling!
"I never expected that the first movie to die during the National Day holiday would be our Shanghai-produced film The Climbers. Oh!"

On the red carpet of the opening ceremony of the Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival, Ren Zhonglun waved to both sides while whispering to Han Sanping and Chen Fei who were walking beside him.

"There's something wrong with the plot design of your script." Chen Fei commented bluntly.

Han Sanping on the side also murmured quietly: "I think Chen Fei is right. The director's overall view is too narrow. The whole movie exudes a sense of pettiness."

"Well, then I can't find a suitable director? In Hong Kong, only Li Rengang is suitable..."

The three of them chattered away as they walked quickly along the hundred-meter-long red carpet.

"It's no problem to get your money back. The market is big enough during the National Day holiday, so there's no way I'll lose money."

Chen Fei comforted Ren Zhonglun casually, took the signature pen from the etiquette lady, and wrote his name on the signature wall.

As the applicant, he was the first to sign, and his cards were full.

Following closely behind are Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun, Wang Yong, Wang Changtian and other industry bigwigs.

At this time, a spotlight shone from the right side of the red carpet, refracting tiny spots of light on the bright velvet signature wall, and fell on the two red carpet hosts Li Xian and Yang Zi.

"The next group to come out are the jury members."

The director's voice exploded in the headphones, and Yang Zi's pearl earrings brushed against the gold embroidery thread on her dress as she turned her head.

After introducing Chen Fei and the others, she quickly adjusted the cue cards.

While several big guys who came on stage first were being interviewed by the media, she turned her head slightly and looked at Li Xian next to her.

"Hey, don't you think..." She suddenly lowered her voice, her nails pinching a white crescent on the edge of the cue card, "The list from Hollywood seems to be three pages longer than what was said before?"

Li Xian lowered his head slightly and flipped through the guest handbook with a gold-stamped cover.

"Not only are there foreign guests, but there are also domestic guests. There are many more than the previous list we received..."

He was mumbling something, and when he saw the name of a director who had won three Oscars, his Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably.

"Fuck, today's lineup is simply too exaggerated!"

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the red carpet area, and several Mercedes-Benz Maybachs were seen parked one after another on the edge of the red carpet.

The moment the car door opened, Yang Zi and Li Xian were immediately on high alert.

“Let us welcome Steven Spielberg, winner of the Academy Award for Best Director, the Golden Globe Lifetime Achievement Award, and the president of the jury of the first Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival!”

“Welcome Brother Chen Kai, the director of Farewell My Concubine and winner of the Cannes Palme d’Or!”

“Welcome Zhang Yimou, winner of the Berlin Golden Bear and Venice Golden Lion!”

"Welcome Liu Yifei, the winner of the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival!"

"Welcome Leonardo Dicaprio, Oscar winner, Venice Film Festival winner, and Berlin Film Festival winner!"

"..."

As Yang Zi and Li Xian's voices shook the entire venue through the surround speakers, many heavyweight celebrities suddenly appeared on the dark red carpet!
Spielberg walked in the middle, and the others stood on both sides, waving to the audience and media friends on both sides of the red carpet with bright smiles.

When several people wrote their names in front of the autograph wall and turned around, classic movie scenes belonging to each person were played synchronously on the big screen above their heads.

Multiple platforms including Tik Tok, Weibo, and Youku are currently broadcasting the event in real time.

This also provides convenience for many netizens who are unable to attend the event in person.

At this time, the barrage areas of major platforms were flooded with wave after wave of barrage text.

"What the hell?! I didn't expect the scale of today's film festival opening ceremony would be so grand?"

"Wow! This jury is really awesome, every one of them is a heavyweight!"

"I've been to the Shanghai International Film Festival before, but it's far inferior to this."

"Look! Another wave of Hollywood celebrities! Eh? No, this should be the Cannes Film Queens group, right?"

"Oh my goodness! They really are the group of Cannes Film Queens!"

The barrage area was in an uproar, and at this moment on the red carpet, Li Xian could only feel his eardrums beating.

Looking into the distance, I saw that at the starting point of the red carpet a hundred meters away, a group of gorgeously dressed and elegant actresses had already begun to exude their own aura.

Marion Cotillard, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Jaclyn Joss, Charlotte Rampling, Julianne Moore…

Isn’t this the actress who won the Best Actress award at the Cannes International Film Festival in recent years?
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Read out the names! Introduce them!"

The director's voice kept coming from the earphones, which immediately brought Yang Zi and Li Xian back to their senses.

The two of them quickly began to introduce the identities of this group of people.

After these actresses walked the red carpet, they were followed by the Berlin Film Queen Group, the Venice Film Queen Group, the Cannes Film Emperor Group, the Berlin Film Emperor Group, the Venice Film Emperor Group...

The two were still shocked at first, but in the end, they seemed to have turned into machines, with only the program of reading names and their honors left.

They could no longer express their envy as they were completely stunned by the group of best actor and best actress.

Looking around, any one of them would be a big shot or a guest of honor if they were brought to China.

But today, it’s like they’re selling cabbages, coming one after another, which is really confusing!
In such a lineup, the domestic first- and second-tier stars mixed in seem somewhat inconspicuous.

It was only when Wu Jing, Zhang Yi, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and others stepped onto the red carpet that some sensation was created. As for the others, the response was much smaller.

The media didn't even want to waste memory and film on them!
When she discovered this, Yang Ying was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

If they have that much memory, why not use it to film people like Chen Long, Gong Li, Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, Zhou Xingchi, and Zhang Manyu? Why would they want to film her, an unknown star who is almost relegated to the second tier?

After signing, Yang Ying looked back deliberately as she walked into the venue.

Tang Yan, Shu Chang, Liu Shishi, Jing Tian and others walked onto the red carpet together, and were greeted with cheers and flashes from the media.

Compare it with the scene when she walked onto the red carpet just now, she is as dazzling as it can be!
At this moment, she seemed to have already thought of tomorrow's headlines, which would definitely include terms like #杨影人氣失,没人被望.

"Humph!"

She stamped her feet in embarrassment and walked quickly into the venue.

Huang Xiaoming didn't even wait for her, which made her feel even more uncomfortable... unwilling!
"You two should pay attention to the following guests. They are all heavyweights."

The director's instructions and the cheers from the audience exploded almost simultaneously.

Li Xian suddenly discovered that Yang Zi's left hand behind her back was shaking slightly, because she was introducing the main creators of the "Avengers" series at this time, and a group of "superhero" idols happened to appear at the starting point of the red carpet!
The enthusiastic screams even drowned out the sound of their introductions over the speakers.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was still a steady stream of guests entering, as if it was endless and had no end.

"Next, this director used the expired canned pineapple in Chungking Express to interpret postmodern love..."

"what!!!"

The tail end of Li Xian's voice was completely drowned out by the sudden scream.

At this moment, Wang Jiawei, who got out of the Maybach, turned back subconsciously and saw a director with a Western face appear in front of him in the reflection of his sunglasses.

It's that old guy Quentin!
"Tsk, tsk, you're almost 60, and you still travel so far to attend a film festival?"

Wang Jiawei muttered to himself, smiled at the other party, and walked onto the red carpet together.

Two art film directors with very different styles shook hands in front of the autograph wall, and the sound of shutter clicks came one after another like a downpour.

Suddenly, there was a sound of electricity in Yang Zi's earphones. She raised her voice without changing her expression: "Let's welcome the century-long co-production of Pulp Fiction and In the Mood for Love with applause!"

Applause broke out again at the scene, and in the live broadcast room where the broadcast was being carried out, the barrage of comments surged like a tide.

In fact, the two of them didn't get along well with Chen Fei, and they had even had conflicts and competitions before.

But after receiving the invitation, the two thought about it and decided to come.

The reason is very simple. They think that the current Chen Fei is not someone they can afford to offend.

Therefore, if there is a suitable opportunity, it is better to ease the relationship.

After all, we are all in this circle, and we see each other every day. You never know when you might bump into each other.

It would be fine if Chen Fei ignored them.

If we deliberately target them, we will be in big trouble!

Therefore, coming to the film festival today can be regarded as a gesture of admitting defeat and surrender.
I don't ask for any cooperation, I just hope that we can each go our own way in the future without interfering with each other.

Especially Quentin.

With the end of Harvey Weinstein, he has been doing particularly badly in Hollywood in recent years, and even reached the point where he had no movies to shoot and no one was willing to invest.

Many people knew that he and Harvey had offended Walton Pictures.

Today, Walton Pictures is a huge company and has become the largest company in Hollywood. Who dares to offend it?

Therefore, those who had confronted Chen Fei in the past were now more or less unlucky.

Quentin came all the way here today just to make his stance clear.

Time passed quickly, and one guest after another stepped onto the red carpet, left their names in front of the autograph wall, and entered the venue.

When the last ray of sunset sank into the ancient city, a galaxy-like light strip lit up at the end of the red carpet.

"This is the best era for Chinese films. A large amount of funds are pouring in, providing solid financial support for the production, shooting and promotion of films. From building grand scenes to using top special effects, nothing is an obstacle anymore.

Technological innovation is changing with each passing day. Advanced technologies such as VR and AI are integrated into film creation, bringing an unprecedented audio-visual feast and immersing the audience in a fantasy world.

The growing film market, improving audience tastes and the demand for diverse subject matter are prompting creators to innovate boldly and no longer be limited to traditional genres.

Young filmmakers are springing up like mushrooms after rain, bringing new perspectives and unique expressions to inject vitality into Chinese films. Excellent works continue to emerge and frequently make their mark on the international stage. All this indicates that our Chinese films are on the road to a more glorious journey! "

The concluding remarks of Yang Zi and Li Xian were swept into the sky by the night wind. Several drones provided by DJI bloomed gilded dragon patterns overhead, which finally formed the four characters “Dragon Soars in the Prosperous Era”!
The signature wall at the back slowly rose up, revealing the huge LED screen behind it.

In the mixed-cut video currently playing, from "Red Sorghum" to "The Wandering Earth", from black and white film to the IMAX giant screen, a century of light and shadow seems to have completed the folding of time and space on the hundred-meter-long red carpet!

At this time in the venue, the opening film "The Wandering Earth" was being screened.

Today's film festival opening ceremony will be held at the largest main venue and main theater in Shanhai Film and Television City.

The theater covers an area of ​​more than 1.8 square meters and has 4500 seats.

It has the widest IMAX-GT screen in Asia, measuring 32.16 meters wide and 18.17 meters high. It adopts a giant screen design with no black borders and covers an ultra-wide viewing angle of 120 degrees.

The theater is equipped with a 12.1-channel surround sound system that can present the film's special effects shots in detail, allowing the audience to capture rich details.

The cinema also integrates seven high-tech technologies: 4K, 3D, high brightness, high frame rate, high dynamic range, wide color gamut, and immersive sound. It can present ultra-high-resolution images and provide surround sound effects.

Compared with traditional 2D theaters, the screen brightness here is 2 to 3 times higher, which can present more picture details, making the film look more delicate and layered.

Watching a movie in such a theater, the visual effect is as if you are actually there!
Especially when watching the many scenes in "The Wandering Earth" such as the ignition of the planetary engine, the ignition of Jupiter's atmosphere, and the small broken ball being pushed to glide in the universe, it was extremely shocking!
Chen Fei clearly noticed that some people even subconsciously raised their hands, as if they wanted to touch the azure planet!
At the same time, just as the opening ceremony of the first Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival was being held, a large number of press releases appeared on the Internet.

"Coincidentally on the National Day, today, the first Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival opened grandly at the Shanhai Film and Television City in Shanxi Province. The atmosphere was warm and extraordinary, and fans on both sides of the red carpet cheered continuously.

Many well-known domestic movie stars such as Wu Jing, Zhang Yi, Wang Baoqiang, and Hollywood superstars such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon appeared to support the opening of the film festival. ”

"The presence of many award-winning actors and actresses from international film festivals not only demonstrates the influence of the Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival, but also brings a visual feast to movie lovers. This also marks that the Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival has taken solid steps in promoting global film and cultural exchanges!"

“Many stars and celebrities expressed their expectations for the film festival and their love for film art in interviews. They also hoped that this film festival could promote exchanges and cooperation among filmmakers from different cultural backgrounds and bring more excellent works to global audiences.”

"It is reported that film companies from Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Sony Columbia, Walton Pictures, Lionsgate, many streaming platforms and CCE International Copyright Trading Co., Ltd. have all arrived at the Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival and will carry out copyright transactions, sales and cooperation activities..."

A large number of press releases were circulated wildly on the Internet, attracting a lot of heated discussions.

Major official media outlets have given high praise and commended this year's Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival for highlighting the brilliant achievements of Chinese-language films.

Even the evening news broadcast included a 3-minute long report on the incident.

For a time, thanks to the popularity of the National Day period and numerous reports, the Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival became completely popular!

Many people even plan to travel to Shanxi Province during the National Day holiday, hoping to go to the film festival to see the stars and observe the filming process.

And when all this news reached the ears of those old guys in the major associations who were just sitting there doing nothing, a lot of people were immediately furious!
"The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards Ceremony will be held next month. What should we do? What should we do?!"
