China Entertainment Anchor

Chapter 753 Premiere
Where is Liu Yifei? But he is as steady as an old dog, gave birth to a child in the middle, and solved a major life event for a woman. After his comeback, he is still as majestic as before, making people envious, jealous, and hateful.

A group of domestic people were chatting in Chinese. Liu Yifei's assistant walked up to her and whispered: "Sister Yifei, Sam Mendes and several judges have arrived."

Liu Yifei nodded after hearing this, smiled and waved her palms to the people around her: "You guys chat, I'll go say hello to Mendes and the others."

After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, but then she remembered something and turned back to invite: "Professor Cao, Director Chen, everyone, please come and attend the premiere of Zhang Yang's movie "Joker" today."

"I have long wanted to watch Zhang Yang's movie, I will definitely go there." Professor Cao promised with a smile.

"Yeah, I've been looking forward to it for a long time too." Chen Kexin seemed to agree with Professor Cao's words.

There was a chorus of agreement all around.

Liu Yifei nodded again, and then walked towards Sam Mendes, the chairman of this year's jury.

Sam Mendes is best known as Kate Winslet's ex-husband. Men who have married "Ruth" also have their own enthusiasm.

After Liu Yifei arrived, seven of the nine judges had arrived.

With her and Sam Mendes on board, the popularity of this jury directly surpassed that of the surrounding stars, and it became the most popular place among the media in the entire venue.

"Mr. Chairman, seniors, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation this time." Liu Yifei greeted the six judges who had arrived.

"Crystal, I hope you can give me good advice at this film festival." Mendes was very modest.

"It's me who learns from you." Liu Yifei is also modest.

Several judges try to be modest in front of others, so that the surrounding media can take good photos.

After a while the red carpet officially started.

The red carpet and opening ceremony of the Venice Film Festival took just over two hours together. After Liu Yifei finished attending, she changed out of this dress and put on a black suit that was easy to move and went to the Cinema Palace again, where the premiere of Joker officially began.

When she arrived, she found that there were unexpectedly many people. In addition to the two crews she had invited before, people from the five major domestic film companies also arrived.

After all, it is our compatriots who are here to support us. Liu Yifei greeted them first.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Wang Zhonglei looked curious: "Yifei, why didn't Zhang Yang come over?"

"He helped me with some things."

After hearing Liu Yifei's words, Fatty Yu and others felt so awesome! Let Zhang Yang handle things for you.

"It's probably something big." Wang Zhonglei smiled thoughtfully.

"It's okay, I won't help him attend the premiere of "Joker"." Liu Yifei continued her nonsense, not taking Mr. Wang's words to heart at all, but everyone thought it was very reasonable. There's no way to argue with that.

Fatty Yu and others watched this scene and secretly marveled. In 08, the little girl in front of them was on the verge of collapse under the attack led by Huayi. It was said that her mother was preparing to take her to the United States to avoid the limelight.

Unexpectedly, she fell in love with Zhang Yang. Now, Liu Yifei can talk and laugh calmly when facing Wang Zhonglei.

"Everyone, please stop standing outside. Come in and sit down!" Liu Yifei extended her hand to invite with a sense of ownership.

The others nodded and started walking into the theater, and soon Warner executives and Phoenix came to entertain the guests.

Soon the screening of "Joker" officially started. The whole screening period was very depressing. Two hours passed by in a flash. After the screening, the entire movie palace burst into warm applause, which lasted for a long time.

After the premiere, the focus of the entire venue turned to Phoenix, and people who knew him well began to congratulate him. His performance in the movie conquered most people.

Although he is now a fat man, he does not look as skinny as in the movie.

Liu Yifei calmly walked to the end and congratulated him: "Phoenix, it seems that you are really about to rise from the ashes."

"All of this was brought about by director Zhang Yang." Phoenix has always been very humble.

"Movies are mutually beneficial. Even if Leon comes to play the clown, he can't play you!" Liu Yifei is also discerning now. Besides, this is Zhang Yang's movie, and she feels no pressure to praise it.

After the two were humbled, Liu Yifei could finally get in the car and go back to the hotel.

Time came to China on September 9, and news about the Venice Film Festival also spread to China. The performance of domestic actresses on the red carpet was hotly discussed by everyone.

Liu Yifei has once again overwhelmed others with her beauty. As soon as this announcement came out, everyone's first reaction was, this is how it should be! Otherwise, do you think the number one beauty in domestic entertainment is a joke?

In addition, "Joker" received a media score of 3.8 after its premiere, making it a favorite for this year's Golden Lion.

Everyone has been talking a lot about this movie, and one of the drafts is very special.

For example: when Marvel creates a villain, they need to give him a strong intelligence and a strong body, but DC: Give him a bad life!
For example: This is DC.

Another example: DC has already produced "Watchmen", "The Dark Knight", and "Joker" while Marvel is still producing theme park-style popcorn movies. Although the two have the same name, they are completely different.

Don’t doubt it, these are all press releases issued by Warner.

At present, DC movies surpass Marvel in terms of reputation. Marvel's movies have a lot of box office, but they are behind DC in terms of reputation.

But this advantage is no longer obvious, because "Watchmen" and "The Dark Knight" were movies in 08 and 09.

Seven or eight years have passed, and if you bring this up again, everyone will laugh at you, and you will also bring it up.

The situation is different now. "Joker" is out and DC's glory continues. They can brag unscrupulously again.

On the morning of the 2nd, Zhang Yang was in the study reading the information on Huaren Culture in preparation for this afternoon's meeting.

At this time, his phone rang. When he picked it up, he saw that it belonged to the old director.

"Director."

"Zhang Yang, what are you busy with in China? You're not even going to Venice." The old director asked with a little curiosity.

"A little worldly thing."

"Then let's meet soon."

"What's the matter?" "Let me introduce someone to you."

Zhang Yang was a little hesitant after hearing this. At present, he has a good relationship with the director, but the identity of someone who can be introduced by the old director must not be simple.

When the old director saw Zhang Yang silent, he might know what he was thinking: "The director is here this time."

Zhang Yang suddenly became energetic, and as expected, the next director came out. Maybe the current one resigned on his own initiative, otherwise it wouldn't be so harmonious.

"What time."

"How about tomorrow or the night after tomorrow."

"I'll invite you. How about tomorrow night at SKP's Huaiyang Mansion in Chaoyang District?" Zhang Yang suggested.

"You don't want to invite us, there are four of us." The old director refused.

The old director's ambition has not been extinguished. He still wants to fight, so he must pay attention to all aspects.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Zhang Yang agreed with him simply.

Soon, Zhang Yang thought for a while after hanging up the phone. The new director suddenly wanted to know him. It seemed that the road ahead in the next few years could be more secure.

He put his thoughts aside and continued to read the information.

When it was past eleven o'clock, the door of Zhang Yang's study was opened by a little guy.

After Zhang Hongyi opened the door, he stumbled towards Zhang Yang, shouting as he ran: "Dad, dad, it's time for lunch."

Zhang Yang moved his seat back, Zhang Hongyi walked to him naturally, and Zhang Yang reached out and picked him up.

The reason why Zhang Yang is so kind to his son is because on the day Liu Yifei flies to Venice on the 28th, Liu’s mother will return to Shunyi.
When she went back, she wanted to take Zhang Hongyi away, but the little guy would rather follow Zhang Yang, who was very cruel to him, than follow his grandmother, who was usually the most clinging to him.

This made Zhang Yang feel that the blood power between father and son was indeed powerful.

Of course, Zhang Yang didn't have that much time to spend with him, and his aunt took him to play, but he took the initiative to call Zhang Yang every day at dinner. Maybe the little guy felt a sense of accomplishment in this way.

Zhang Yang looked at the time and asked Zhang Hongyi, "What delicious food are you preparing today?"

This is also training his cognitive abilities.

"Roast duck, lotus root, edamame and chicken..." Zhang Hongyi started talking with his fingers. He already knew a lot of dishes.

Zhang Yang looked at his precious son, thinking about leaving him at home alone in the afternoon. He was still a little reluctant, so he coaxed his son: "How about I take you out to play this afternoon?"

"Really?" Zhang Hongyi looked at Zhang Yang with his eyes shining brightly. It was rare for his father to take him out to play.

"Will your father still lie to you?" Zhang Yang reached out and patted his leg gently.

Zhang Hongyi was slapped on the thigh by Zhang Yang and had no time to think of the horrific memories. He just laughed.

Zhang Yang raised his right hand to turn off the computer, then carried his son to have lunch.

After this period of time, Zhang Hongyi will not become dirty as long as there is no accident while eating.

After lunch, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yang just walked out of the house with his son in his arms, not to coddle him, but to let him walk to the studio, which took half an hour if not an hour.

The bodyguard Xiao Zhao naturally followed him.

After Zhang Yang arrived at the studio, Zhang Hongyi became restless in his arms. This was his first time here.

The little guy looked at everything new. Then the assistant came over. He looked at Zhang Hongyi in surprise and whispered: "Boss, they are all here."

Zhang Yang nodded, but he did not go directly to the living room, but went to look at various departments.

People from various departments saw Zhang Yang coming in with his son in his arms and immediately said hello.

Zhang Hongyi also shouted politely: "Hello, uncle, hello aunt."

After shouting several times, he felt that there were too many uncles, so he simply said: "Uncle, auntie, hello."

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment and looked at his son. He could speak simple words at a young age. He was a talent!
After visiting the studio, Zhang Yang took his son to the living room.

After entering, Zhang Yang looked at Hou Hongliang and Li Ruigang and apologized: "I'm sorry, the kid keeps making trouble at home alone, so I brought him here."

At this time, Zhang Hongyi began to call people again: "Hello, uncle." The child was as cute as he wanted to be.

"Director Zhang's child is really polite." Li Ruigang praised Zhang Hongyi.

Zhang Hongyi looked at the two gentle men with glasses in front of him and laughed when he knew someone was praising him.

Zhang Yang finally let him down. The main goal of his bodyguard was to look at Zhang Hongyi.

The assistant also went over to make tea for the three of them.

After Zhang Yang sat down at the main table, he chatted with them as usual.

After the assistant's tea was brewed and several people took a few sips of tea, Li Ruigang took the initiative and said with a smile: "Director Zhang's movie is showing off in Venice again this time. I heard that the European media applauded it. In previous years, it seemed that a movie with a score of 3.5 would be enough." For the Golden Lion, "Joker" actually scored 3.8 points this time."

Zhang Yang waved his hand and said indifferently: "The score doesn't mean anything, it's just a rough reference."

"If Director Zhang shows up in the past, it will be more stable. If you go late, the judges will think you are neglecting them." Li Ruigang suggested with seemingly good intentions.

"Mr. Li, you may have forgotten that my boss's wife is from Venice, a double film queen at Cannes, and is also a judge of this film festival." The assistant reminded Li Ruigang.

As soon as Zhang Yang saw someone speaking, he picked up the tea cup and took off the tea lid, shook his head slightly, blew in a few breaths and drank the tea.

Hou Hongliang and Li Ruigang watched this scene with different thoughts.
