Full-time actor

The call between the two ended.

The room returned to silence. The fatigue from before had dissipated, and Chen Yu sighed with genuine emotion.

He was also very curious about his performance in "The Dark Knight," but unfortunately, he simply didn't have the time.

Next, he will be in top form to welcome the Olympics.

This time.

He will stand before the world and showcase the splendor of the entire Chinese nation.

……

As time passed, the aftershocks of the earthquake were finally brought under control.

Liu Yifei has returned to the capital.

She benefited greatly from the rescue work during this period.

Having witnessed too many people's lives and deaths, even with the best preliminary work done, many people still end up in prison.

This was also beneficial for her filming "Aftershock," at least she experienced the most realistic feeling.

Fortunately, their rescue operation was very thorough, and they have received effective support on the other side.

As for now——

She should be involved in the preliminary preparations for "Aftershock".

With this rescue experience, the subsequent filming went much more smoothly.

The next step is no longer just a performance, but a true depiction of the disaster and the loss of life.

only.

At this juncture, controversy surrounding "Aftershock" gradually spread.

It should be noted that before this, many people had already expressed their opinions online, accusing Chen Yu and Liu Yifei of profiting from the national crisis.

The silence of Chen Yu and his group, in particular, encouraged this trend.

From exploiting national calamities for publicity to questioning their ability to handle scripts on such disaster themes.

Online opinions are becoming increasingly outrageous.

Even worse, some described Liu Yifei's participation in the rescue operation as a publicity stunt.

A barrage of opinions came flooding in.

However, this only amplifies the unprecedented popularity of the film.

This has led to the fact that almost all the topics on major platforms are now about the Tangshan earthquake.

Whether it's Chen Yu's outburst of 20 billion yuan or Liu Yifei's personal trip to the scene for rescue.

All of these factors brought considerable viewership to "Aftershock".

This film has now transcended the ordinary scope of films, becoming a phenomenon of discussion thanks to the earthquake.

Everyone is increasingly looking forward to it.

They began to wonder how the film would tell the story of the devastating disaster.

Whether people support or oppose it, "Aftershock" has become something that the Chinese people are looking forward to.

Just like the future "731".

of course.

There are quite a few opponents, who are closely watching the direction of this film.

What I'm most looking forward to is that this movie is terrible, so I can give it a good dressing down.

As for the fact that they started picking out all sorts of flaws even before filming began, it was all for the purpose of questioning them after the broadcast.

However, there is clearly hope among the supporters.

After this incident, they hope that this film will raise global awareness of disasters and promote environmental protection.

Let the whole world remember the lives lost in this disaster.

Online comments are incredibly varied.

Everyone is rushing to question it.

More and more people are starting to pay attention to everything happening around the Tangshan earthquake.

During this process, Liu Yifei naturally noticed everyone's comments.

However, she did not show any dissatisfaction.

Controversy is what generates attention.

This will allow more people to have a clear understanding of earthquake disasters.

Even when faced with danger, they will no longer panic.

Liu Yifei casually opened the script of "Aftershock" and began to study it carefully.

"Let's set the start date for July 28th."

A soft voice rang out, and the executive assistant director and other staff members present all looked up.

They could naturally understand the true significance of Liu Yifei setting this time.

July 28, 1976, was the date of the Tangshan earthquake.

This has special significance for everyone.

It cannot be changed arbitrarily.

In addition to commemorating the deceased, it also helps everyone remember this time.

"Director Chen is still with the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games, so the preliminary preparations for the Tangshan earthquake can only be carried out by us."

"In addition to the recent earthquakes, the impact on us must be quite significant."

After hearing Liu Yifei's words, the assistant director nodded subconsciously.

Everyone has noticed the recent online discussions.

It must be said that they admired Chen Yu quite a bit.

This is completely riding the wave of opportunity.

After all, the earthquake disaster has just occurred, and everyone is very sensitive to this matter. The internet is also showing a polarized state of mind.

This matter has both advantages and disadvantages for them.

There had already been a detailed explanation before this.

Regardless of what others say, all they need to do now is keep quiet.

As for the props and art departments, they have already completed their work.

To further highlight the dedication put into "Aftershock," they naturally wanted to do everything to the best of their ability.

"The roles have now been selected."

"Next, we need to inform them of the start-up time to ensure that all the preliminary preparations are complete by the time Director Chen returns."

The most crucial stage is breaking down the script and developing a budget and plan.

So far, the filming locations and the filming sets to be built have been finalized.

Now we need to prepare for the costume fitting photos and the script reading.

Besides that, there's the issue of getting the main actors to mesh.

Needless to say, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei have already collaborated on so many works, setting aside their romantic relationship, and they have developed a great chemistry as actors.

"I believe everyone will be able to do their job well."

"If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me."

"Let's leave it at that for now."

When all matters were handed over to Liu Yifei, everyone still had doubts.

Such a heavy burden on a girl's shoulders would indeed cause them some concern.

I'm not sure if I can get this done.

Unexpectedly, even after just finishing a rescue operation, Liu Yifei remained very serious about her work.

There was absolutely no attempt to shirk responsibility.

All the staff present discussed their respective work, and thus, some details regarding the film "Aftershock" were finalized.

Everyone left the office.

As for Liu Yifei, after organizing all the information, she couldn't wait to leave the company.

Despite a day of meetings, she did not feel tired at all.

On the contrary, there was a hint of excitement.

The car gradually drove away and finally stopped in the parking lot of the Olympic Organizing Committee's rehearsal venue.

She couldn't wait any longer.

I haven't seen Chen Yu for several months. Although we can talk on the phone, it's not as real as meeting him face to face.

Especially when she was involved in earthquake relief efforts, facing the cycle of life, aging, sickness, and death, she would always miss Chen Yu.

clack.

The car door was opened from the outside, and when Liu Yifei looked up, Chen Yu was already in the passenger seat.

The two looked at each other.

Liu Yifei's eyes instantly filled with tears, her eyes slightly red, giving her a pitiful and endearing appearance.

There was almost no hesitation.

Liu Yifei threw herself into Chen Yu's arms. She had so much to say to Chen Yu, but the meeting time arranged by the Organizing Committee was only a dozen minutes.

She couldn't express her longing in detail. All her words could be summed up in one sentence.

"I miss you."

Seeing Liu Yifei's aggrieved expression, Chen Yu also suppressed his emotions.

He looked at the person in front of him with a pained expression.

Compared to before she joined the Organizing Committee, Liu Yifei is now noticeably thinner.

It was even a little uncomfortable to hold him.

They can only interact in the car, since they don't have much rest time and won't have many opportunities to communicate with the outside world.

The cramped carriage made Liu Yifei feel incredibly warm and happy at that moment.

However, she did not forget her mission.

He informed Chen Yu of the start date and filming details, and the two snuggled together.

"Thanks a lot."

Chen Yu's words shattered the psychological shelter that Liu Yifei had just built.

She tries her best to do everything well.

This was so that Chen Yu would not be bothered by anything during the rehearsal period.

"Whether it was the pre-production work for 'Aftershock' or the fact that I went to the rescue alone."

You did a great job!

Liu Yifei looked up at the person in front of her. Chen Yu's words were very sincere.

She was no longer someone hiding behind him, but someone capable of standing on her own.

Chen Yu knew, of course, that she could do it.

If possible, he would naturally prefer Liu Yifei to do more.

Liu Yifei then pulled Chen Yu's neck over.

A gentle kiss landed on the other's lips, without any lingering passion, just like recharging.

She's been really tired lately.

In addition, without Chen Yu by her side, she had to consider many things on her own, and the feeling of helplessness in the face of difficult problems even made her a little sad.

Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, our time together has come to an end.

They didn't have enough time to talk about other things.

Liu Yifei released Chen Yu, and her expression returned to normal.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Chen Yu.

"I hope my husband's rehearsals go smoothly."

"I'm going to miss you."

Chen Yu looked at Liu Yifei and casually tucked her loose hair behind her ear.

At this moment, neither of them was willing to part.

But for the sake of the future, they have no choice but to forge ahead without hesitation.

"wait me back."

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yu opened the car door and got out.

He didn't dare to look back.

Even for just a moment, he couldn't control himself whenever he saw Liu Yifei.

The people inside the car watched his figure, their eyes already blurred with tears.

She didn't want Chen Yu to see her reluctance to part.

I sat quietly in the car until the person in front of me disappeared into the night.

That's life.

All they have to do now is work hard until they meet at the top.

"came back?"

Zhang Yimou is organizing materials related to the Olympics.

Seeing Chen Yu approaching, he naturally understood the other's feelings.

The two, who were usually inseparable, were forced to be separated for so long.

Anyone would find it hard to accept.

"If love lasts for a long time, how can we live together day and night?"

It has to be said that these words, spoken by Zhang Yimou, have a strangely comical quality.

Chen Yu nodded.

With the Olympic Games opening ceremony just around the corner, all he needs to do is complete his mission as soon as possible and return to that person's side.

"I believe that Yifei will have grown a lot after this period is over."

Zhang Yimou also pays attention to online trends.

Whether it was Liu Yifei's resolute decision to go to provide support, or the preparations for "Aftershock" during Chen Yu's absence.

These things are enough to overturn Zhang Yimou's perception of Liu Yifei.

Before this, people generally perceived Liu Yifei as gentle and charming.

This image of a well-behaved girl often makes it difficult for people to associate her with such important matters.

It was this time that completely changed Zhang Yimou's opinion of Liu Yifei.

The unwavering determination she exudes, along with her gentle yet strong inner strength and stable core, is truly admirable.

"Yes, this time the heavy burden has fallen on her shoulders alone."

It would be difficult not to grow.

"As for me, the most important thing right now is to prepare for the opening ceremony performance."

Chen Yu resumed the rehearsal process.

This daily routine had long since induced a muscle response in him.

He can be extremely precise in everything he does every day, whether it's singing or choreography.

……

Time passes unconsciously.

July has finally arrived.

Amid a global heatwave, The Dark Knight held its world premiere.

7 month 10 day.

This highly anticipated premiere will be held simultaneously at two main venues in North America and China.

Before this, Nolan had already spoken with Chen Yu by phone.

The two discussed this issue at length, and they were already looking forward to the popularity that "The Dark Knight" could bring.

The capital city venue.

Christopher Bale, who plays Batman, made a dashing appearance in a black suit. He will lead a team of Chinese media to the premiere in China.

As evening approached, the entire venue was already packed with people.

Crowds of people.

This demonstrates the global impact of The Dark Knight.

As for North America, Lincoln Center Theater has been completely besieged by hardcore DC fans.

They surrounded the entire venue.

Thunderous screams erupted from time to time throughout the theater, as everyone's expectations for the movie were at their peak. Of course, there were also those who came to see the Joker as a joke, especially many veteran DC fans who thought the movie was bound to be terrible.

Even though... online reviews at screenings have already hailed this movie as a masterpiece!
It's worth noting that before this, there were zero negative reviews online.

The movie has generated immense buzz and discussion.

Nolan and his co-stars were both away from their home turf in North America, but this did not diminish the fans' joy in the slightest.

They crowded around both sides of the red carpet.

The goal was to be able to hold the premiere as soon as possible.

In particular, exciting previews were being played on a loop in the center of both venues.

The mere sight of Chen Yu's appearance was enough to send the screams of the crowd into overdrive.

Nolan noticed the magnificent view before him.

He looked at the main actors beside him with great satisfaction.

He couldn't imagine what a grand occasion it would be if Chen Yu were to appear.

Unfortunately, this unappreciated clown is currently on the other side of the world, undergoing intense rehearsals.

but--

The previous rejection has vanished, and everyone now clearly has an extreme fondness for Chen Yu's clown.

All the hard work you've put in will pay off tonight.

Nolan believes that tonight's premiere will be etched in history.

Furthermore, they serve as stepping stones for them to reach even higher levels! (End of Chapter)
