The conspicuous bag in China Entertainment Taohuawu

Chapter 231 The crew gathered with big bosses

After the shooting of the Star Canyon battle, most of Chen Xinghe's scenes were over. The remaining few scenes needed to be changed to another set to shoot. However, it was a bit too late because it was time to start filming "Sturdy as a Rock".

After asking for leave from the crew and saying goodbye to Zhou Ming, Chen Xinghe flew all the way from Dunhuang to Chongqing.

Arriving at the hotel, Chen Xinghe first met director Zhang Yimou.

As soon as they met, Zhang Yimou cordially took Chen Xinghe's hand and said, "Xiao Chen is here. Welcome to join the cast of "Sturdy as a Rock". Our cooperation is finally here."

Chen Xinghe was a little flattered. Although Zhang Yimou's works in recent years have been mixed, he has always been the national master who directed the 08 Beijing Olympics that attracted the attention of the whole world.

He has always been one of the representative figures of the fifth generation of directors in China. From 1987 to 1999, he directed "Red Sorghum", "Ju Dou", "Raise the Red Lantern", "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", "Alive" and "No One Less" Films such as "My Father and Mother" have won him multiple film awards at home and abroad, and he has been nominated for three Oscars and five Golden Globe Awards. If it were not for his skin color, he would not have a place in the Oscars.

Chen Xinghe watched his films countless times when he was a student at Beijing Electronics, and many of the clips were their textbooks when they were in school.

His film "Hero" is the key to the era of domestic blockbusters and is one of the few domestic films that has grossed hundreds of millions of dollars at the global box office.

The two shook hands for a long time before Chen Xinghe responded, "Director Zhang, I really didn't expect you to pick me up. I even planned to pay you a special visit when I got to the hotel."

"I should. I've seen all the movies you've made. It's an honor for me to direct an actor like you."

Oh my god, what kind of answer is this! Is Zhang Yimou trying to kill me? After hearing Zhang Yimou's words, Chen Xinghe was speechless for a moment, and waited for a while before responding.

"Director Zhang, you praise me so much. I grew up watching your movies when I was in school. I really can't bear your praise."

"Okay, Lao Zhang, Xiao Chen, let's stop talking at the door and go in quickly. Guoli and the others are still waiting."

The person speaking this time is also a big shot in the film and television industry, Wang Changtian, the CEO of Enlight Media!

"Okay, okay, come on, Xiao Chen, I'll introduce you to a few people."

Chen Xinghe followed the two of them to the banquet hall of the crew hotel. My dear, isn't this really a large awards ceremony in China?
Zhang Guoli, Yu Hewei, Zhou Dongyu, Sun Yizhou, Li Naiwen, Xu Yajun, Tian Yu, He Zhengjun, Xu Zili, Chen Daoming, Chen Chong, Wang Xun and many other powerful actors are sitting there. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the domestic Golden Rooster Awards evening party!

"Come on, let me introduce to you. This is Chen Xinghe, who plays the leading actor Su Jianming in the movie."

Arriving at the dining table, Wang Changtian patted Chen Xinghe on the shoulder, took him to his side, and introduced him to everyone at the dining table.

Chen Xinghe bowed to everyone and then introduced me: "Hello teachers, I am actor Chen Xinghe. I am very happy to work with you. I hope that we can create more sparks in acting in the future. .”

Hearing Chen Xinghe's words, Zhang Guoli made a joke and said: "You are too polite, Xiao Chen. How can you introduce yourself? Who here doesn't know you? If we want to introduce ourselves, we should introduce ourselves."

"Don't you dare, Teacher Guoli. Everyone here is my teacher and my senior. I will be very satisfied if I can learn something from you this time."

"Hahahahahaha, sit down quickly, everyone has already wanted to eat."

"It's my fault that it came a little late and made everyone wait for a long time."

After arriving at the table, Chen Xinghe sat next to Zhang Yimou and Zhang Guoli.

In this drama, Chen Xinghe will play a father and son with teacher Zhang Guoli. At the same time, Su Jianming will also find evidence of his crime from layers of clues and bring him to justice.

Next to Zhang Guoli are Yu Hewei and Zhou Dongyu, who are Chen Xinghe's most opponents in the film. After nodding to them, Chen Xinghe heard Zhang Yimou next to him say, "Even if everyone from "Sturdy as a Rock" is here this time, I would like to propose a toast to everyone and ask everyone to cooperate sincerely in the future to contribute to this film. The movie contributes its due power.”

"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses together, congratulated each other and drank it all in one gulp.

"Lao Zhang has said everything that needs to be said. I can only ask everyone here to pay more attention and work together to improve the quality of the film."

After Zhang Yimou finished speaking, Wang Changtian also raised his wine glass and spoke to everyone, and drank the second glass of wine in one gulp.

However, after the two of them finished speaking, everyone looked at Chen Xinghe. Chen Xinghe was a little at a loss. Zhang Guoli next to him reminded him to stand up and say something. Then he realized what he said and stood up and said: "What Director Zhang and Mr. Wang said Having said that, as an actor, I can only use my best ability to shape the character I play. Of course, I hope that the seniors will not hesitate to give me advice and make progress together."

As soon as Chen Xinghe finished speaking, everyone clapped and applauded, and then everyone drank again. After three and a half jins of wine, everyone became more casual and even talked more.

While talking, Zhang Guoli patted Chen Xinghe on the shoulder and started chatting with him, "Xiao Chen, the "Requiem" you shot before was really good, and you deserved the award. This time your new movie "Life Events" is also good. It’s great that you will probably have a share of this year’s Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers.”

"Teacher Guoli, there are so many excellent works. If you win the award, it can only be said that everything is random. But you have returned to the big screen after so many years. I will definitely have a good time with you this time."

"Good boy, let's put on a good show when the time comes."

After three rounds of drinking, everyone had almost finished drinking. They were all professional actors and there were no scripts to read around. After dinner, they broke up and went back to the hotel.

The next day, before the movie started shooting, Zhang Yimou and Chen Xinghe accepted interviews from some media, which was considered to build momentum for the movie in advance.

"Director Zhang Yimou, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making this movie?" a reporter from Penguin Entertainment asked.

Zhang Yimou responded with a smile: "Film is the art of dreaming, but sometimes I think about some things, and some fragments often flash through my mind. Although they are scattered, I simply recorded them all. Later I The recorded things are structured and written into a story, and I hope this story can be enjoyed by all audiences.”

"May I ask Director Zhang Yimou, why did you invite Chen Xinghe to be the leading actor in your movie?" NetEase Entertainment reporter asked again.

Zhang Yimou responded with a smile: "The male protagonist is a young policeman. Looking at the domestic film industry, the only one who can portray this role well is Chen Xinghe, so I invited Chen Xinghe to play this role."

Sohu Entertainment reporter, "I would like to ask Chen Xinghe, there are so many senior actors in the crew, are you confident that you can play this role well?"

"Of course I have confidence. There are so many senior actors on the crew. Just giving me some knowledge is enough for me to portray this role well."

"I'm asking Chen Xinghe, do you have confidence in this movie?" asked a Weibo entertainment reporter.

"I believe that my crew is an excellent crew. From the actors to the crew, they are the best in the industry. As long as we work together, we can present a wonderful movie to the audience."

The reporters interviewed other actors in the play one after another, and everyone answered normally. As all the crew and creative staff came on stage to take a group photo, the launch conference came to an end.

The reporters walked out of the conference hall one after another with full interview materials.

The movie hasn't started shooting yet. The crew of "Sturdy as a Rock" just needs to be popular and let the public know that such a movie has started shooting. As for whether it is positive or negative, it doesn't matter. Ultimately, it depends on the pre-release publicity and the quality of the movie.

Afterwards, everyone adjusted their status and the movie "Sturdy as a Rock" was officially launched.
