Full-time actor

"Finally back!"

The moment Liu Yifei stepped out of the airport, the blast of cold air made her shrink back.

It was assumed that Chen Yu would choose to return directly to Budapest, since they had been delayed for so many days and should be back on track by now.

However, unexpectedly, Chen Yu chose to return to the mainland.

Because he actually had something more important to do, and it was urgent.

Taking advantage of the massive buzz generated by the Golden Horse Awards, this is undoubtedly the best time to announce it.

……

"My Best Actor and Best Actress".

"We've been waiting for you to come back."

Ji Qiannan’s excited voice came from behind, and the two dragged their luggage over.

"Sister Qian."

After greeting the person in front of her, Ji Qiannan stepped forward and hugged Liu Yifei.

"Congratulations to my Sisi for winning the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress."

The latter lowered his eyes and smiled, taking advantage of the moment Chen Yu opened the car door.

"Sister Qian, please take me back to Yuxin first."

"There are some things I still need to explain to Yang Lu."

Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, Ji Qiannan shrugged.

This workaholic is so busy that he doesn't even bother to rest.

"?"

Liu Yifei tilted her head and looked at Chen Yu.

He didn't reveal anything about this. Could it be that Yang Lu and the others have some kind of secret?

The Golden Horse Awards have been over for several days, but the news about them is still going strong.

For at least several days in a row, the front page headlines in mainland China were all about Chen Yu's patriotic remarks.

Not only did it spark heated discussions among netizens, but major official media outlets also stepped in to support Chen Yu.

For a time, the limelight was overwhelming.

A black Mercedes SUV pulled up in front of Yu Xin's door.

"mission completed."

"Remember to call me if you need anything."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Qiannan drove off in a cloud of dust.

The two were left alone, bewildered in the wind.

Chen Yu had already sent a message to Yang Lu as soon as he got off the plane.

So much so that——

The moment the two stepped into the company, everyone swarmed around them.

"A warm welcome back the Golden Horse Best Actor and Best Actress winners."

Yang Lu and Wang Shuo stood at the very front.

He looked at Chen Yu and Liu Yifei with a smile.

have to say.

Only by following the right people can you realize your true value.

Chen Yu was like a lighthouse for them at sea.

They can lead them out of the fog, no matter when or where.

"Thank you."

"Let's all relax and enjoy Li Family Cuisine tonight."

"My treat."

Chen Yu's words drew cheers from the audience.

It's important to know that Li Family Cuisine is a renowned private restaurant serving imperial cuisine; ordinary people might not even be qualified to eat there.

This time we can really enjoy a delicious meal!
"Press conference?"

Liu Yifei was somewhat dumbfounded as she listened to Chen Yu's presentation in the conference room.

After all, she had never heard of this before.

"It's already been arranged."

"A notice will be released at 7 p.m. tonight, and the Tangshan government will follow suit."

Chen Yu nodded, while Liu Yifei had already recovered from her shock.

It seems to be for the script of "Aftershock".

But isn't this a bit too hasty?
Liu Yifei didn't quite understand, but she respected Chen Yu's wishes.

After explaining the situation, the two drove themselves home.

The press conference is scheduled for December 15th.

They have two more days of rest.

This time when they returned, they didn't release any information whatsoever.

So much so that when the two appeared in the living room without a word, Shen Xiaoqin and Liu Xiaoli were both stunned.

I initially thought it was a hallucination.

"You brat, you didn't even tell me you were coming back."

Liu Yifei had already rushed into Liu Xiaoli's arms, eager to share the joy of winning the award.

Looking at Liu Yifei in his arms.

Liu Xiaoli smiled with satisfaction. Even though she had won three Golden Horse Awards for Best Actress, Liu Yifei would always be a child in her eyes.

7 p.m.

Chen Yu had just finished dinner when his phone started ringing incessantly.

Clicking on it, I noticed that Yu Xin had already posted an announcement.

Dear media reporters,

[Our company will hold a press conference in conjunction with the Tangshan government at 9:12 AM on December 15, 2007, at the Beijing International Exhibition Center.]

We cordially invite all guests to attend.

As soon as the news came out.

This immediately shocked various media outlets and entertainment companies.

Following this, the Tangshan government also issued a similar announcement.

For a time, there were different opinions.

Everyone is wondering what exactly happened?
Some media outlets, knowing that Chen Yu's next film is about an earthquake, were also puzzled as to why Chen Yu would hold such a large-scale press conference this time.

After all, he had never been this formal before.

Could it be because of their cooperation with the government?
With the added buzz from the Golden Horse Awards ceremony, Chen Yu is undoubtedly in high demand right now.

There has been much discussion online about this press conference.

"Holding a press conference in conjunction with the Tangshan government?"

“I remember that when Yu-ge was interviewed at the Golden Horse Awards, he said that he was writing a script about an earthquake.”

"Looks like our Brother Yu is about to do something big again, all quietly."

"The Tangshan earthquake?"

Everyone was speculating whether Chen Yu was planning something big this time.

There are also people with good intentions among them.

I know that Chen Yu said in a Golden Horse interview that he wanted to make a movie about earthquakes.

Judging from the looks of it, it's probably pretty close.

However, the buzz and discussion only intensified after the statement was released.

It's not just media reporters; the general public is also curious about what Yu Xin is going to do at this press conference.
Although many people knew it was about the movie "Aftershock", many netizens were still curious about the press conference.

Before the results are in, anything is possible.

……

The date finally arrived: December 15, 2007.

The press conference began as usual.

Guo Yanhong has arrived at the Beijing International Exhibition Center.

The two sides meet.

Guo Yanhong naturally admired Chen Yu greatly.

Such talented young people are rare these days.

"Minister Guo, I've long admired your name."

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei came over to greet them.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two sides took their seats.

The area outside was already crowded with reporters who had come today and those who had been invited, including several official media outlets such as CCTV and Huabao.

After two days of fermentation, the news not only failed to subside, but instead became increasingly popular online.

Everyone has already guessed pretty accurately.

Given Chen Yu's previous statement about making a film about the earthquake, coupled with the collaboration with Tangshan, it's undoubtedly a done deal.

When Guo Yanhong arrived, he had already witnessed a huge crowd of people outside.

It was nothing more than Chen Yu's personal influence.

As the media reporters entered, everyone naturally noticed Chen Yu in the very center.

My emotions surged instantly.

They also showed considerable interest in the upcoming press conference.

At 9:00 AM sharp, the press conference announcing Yu Xin's cooperation with the Tangshan government officially began.

Long guns and short cannons were already focused on Chen Yu.

Everyone is now incredibly excited and eager to know what Chen Yu will announce next.

"I am very pleased that everyone can take time out of their busy schedules to attend the press conference for Yu Xin and Tangshan."

clap clap clap!
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

This was the first time they had ever been so close to Chen Yu.

Besides being excited, I couldn't wait.

"First, I'd like to introduce the leader sitting next to me."

"...Mr. Guo Yanhong."

"I am very excited to be able to cooperate with Tangshan this time."

"..."

A generic, all-purpose opening line.

As the camera panned, everyone's attention fell on the middle-aged man beside Chen Yu.

The latter waved to the crowd.

Hello everyone! I am Guo Yanhong.

There was thunderous applause.

The media reporters certainly gave them a lot of face.

The process was also very official, so it looked particularly formal.

"I think everyone has heard about the main reason for holding this press conference."

A murmur of discussion arose from the audience.

After a moment, the entire room fell silent.

Everyone was waiting for Chen Yu to reveal his plan.

"It's to promote the filming of a disaster blockbuster in IMAX format."

"Using 3D technology to immerse the audience!"

IMAX?

Chen Yu's speech caused the audience to look at each other in bewilderment.

Many people obviously haven't heard of this thing.

"What is this?"

"Brother Yu must be talking about the movie!"

"I know this. It's a high-end cinema projection system, but it doesn't seem to be popular in China yet."

"Two of Brother Yu's previous films actually involved this technology!"

"..."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Everyone's attention was focused on where Chen Yu was.

The general public has relatively limited awareness of IMAX and 3D movies.

Even though IMAX technology has been around for a long time, it is still a relatively high-end and niche technology in China.

In fact, the earliest IMAX film to be released was "The Dark Knight" next year; although "The Man from Nowhere" was also filmed in IMAX, the filming time was indeed too short.

The Dark Knight was filmed with an IMAX camera for a full 30 minutes.

As for now, Chen Yu, as a director, is also preparing to launch the project.

To be precise, it is the first film in China to be shown in full IMAX format.

"When I first introduced IMAX, people's understanding of it was probably limited to the giant screen."

"Today I will give you a detailed introduction."

“IMAX refers to the entire projection system, including the projector, sound system, screen, and even the seating needs to be rearranged.”

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Yu beside her.

Men who are focused on their work are incredibly handsome.

only.

Following Chen Yu's speech, some doubts arose among the crowd.

They were unaware of the power of this being.

"As the most precise and powerful projector, it can make the stability of the image far exceed the conventional standard."

"As for 3D, it refers to stereoscopic movies, which allow viewers to experience the three-dimensional spatial effects of the film."

"Both utilize different technological fields, but their goal is to create a more immersive and impactful viewing experience for audiences."

Regarding Chen Yu's explanation.

People clearly have a clear understanding of 3D and iMax.

For a time, one couldn't help but admire Chen Yu.

From beginning to end, Chen Yu was the leading force in guiding the development of domestic films.

This time, in particular, has further solidified everyone's opinion of him.

"So far, not many companies have adopted iMax."

"As for the disaster blockbuster we're preparing this time, it will be the second truly global blockbuster and the first domestically shot in IMAX format with special effects."

"..."

As soon as Chen Yu finished his introduction, the scene became quite sensational.

The applause was continuous.

This time I really learned something.

Moreover, Chen Yu clearly focuses more on technological development than on entertainment.

Chen Yu was truly bold and decisive.

He showed no fear whatsoever in exploring the unknown.

Putting all that aside, Chen Yu's actions clearly promoted the upgrading of cinema hardware in mainland China.

Only in this way.

Only then will the domestic market experience rapid growth.

After listening to Chen Yu's explanation, Guo Yanhong became even more optimistic about the project.

They were very supportive of the collaboration that Yu Xin initially proposed.

Behind the cooperation, they certainly had their own considerations.

The 1976 Tangshan earthquake caused the deaths of nearly 24 people.

Those are memories that countless people dare not recall.

But actually——

They believe that the memory of the disaster should be preserved and that the spirit of earthquake resistance should be promoted through the film "Tangshan Earthquake".

Only when everyone remembers the disaster caused by the earthquake will people take this matter seriously.

Especially earthquake preparedness knowledge!
"When Yu Xin proposed the cooperation, our government gave it active support."

Guo Yanhong's words drew everyone's attention.

"Mr. Chen Yu did what we've always wanted to do."

"After all, it involves a major disaster, so even if you have ideas, you haven't put them into action yet."

"I am very grateful to Mr. Chen Yu."

Similarly, through this film, we can call on society to continue to pay attention to earthquake disasters.

"Popularize disaster prevention knowledge."

"Even when disaster strikes, we still have ways to cope."

Guo Yanhong's words drew deafening applause from the audience.

It's clear that the Tangshan government is quite satisfied with this cooperation.

The camera focused on Chen Yu again.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Yu's gaze became quite firm.

His expression was even more serious.

"of course."

"Today's press conference is not just about promoting the movie."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

They had no idea what would happen next.

After all, Chen Yu has already released a major piece of news so far.

The person in front of him cleared his throat.

He then leaned closer to the microphone and said, "Yu Xin will donate 10 billion RMB for earthquake protection projects in China."

"Especially in Sichuan Province, which has been experiencing frequent earthquakes recently."

"I hope everyone can take the earthquake issue seriously, so that even when disaster strikes, we will have a plan to deal with it."

"In addition, Yu Xin will allocate an extra 5 million yuan to the project engineering team responsible for the reconstruction of Tangshan that year."

"Ok?"

After Chen Yu spoke, the entire room fell silent for several seconds.

A moment later, there was a gasp.

In a short period of time, everyone's expressions changed unpredictably.

15 million?
They clearly doubted their own ears; had they really not misheard?

Even Guo Yanhong's expression turned quite shocked!
A grant of 15 billion? Are you serious?

15 million?
Funds allocated by Yu Xin? (End of Chapter)
