Chapter 60 Movie Watching Party

The next afternoon, when Lu Chuan arrived at the gate of the National Assembly Hall, he saw his father Jiang Wen talking to a tall and handsome young man.

Jiang Wen's face was full of smiles, and he would look back and laugh from time to time, obviously he was very happy.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chuan felt very bitter, as if his career luck had been taken away from him.

He didn't dare to act rashly because today's film viewing was a very grand event.

Not only did representatives from several TV stations come to purchase films, but also many media outlets and bigwigs in the industry came to show their support.

Not to mention anything else, just among the directors, Lu Chuan saw Cheng Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei and others, as well as Hong Kong TVB's Zhuang Weikin and others.

Many celebrity actors also came.

At the entrance of the Great Hall, a team was arranged, dressed as Qin soldiers and Qin dancers.

The soldiers were wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, standing guard in two rows, looking very imposing.

The dancers were dressed in red and green, directing the order of the scene and attracting everyone's attention.

Many passers-by and spectators, seeing the soldiers and dancers, gathered around to watch the fun.

Everyone was looking at the large display stand at the entrance of the Great Hall and talking about it.

"What kind of TV show is this? They're holding an event in the National Assembly Hall. How grand!"

"Lüshi Chunqiu? It should be a TV series about the Qin Dynasty unifying the six kingdoms, right?"

"The actor on this poster is so handsome! He seems even more handsome than Lu Yi! Do you have his identity information?"

"Isn't there a label on the display stand? Zheng Jing."

"Zheng Jing? I've heard of this name. He's said to be a second-generation man with a very powerful background. No wonder he can organize activities in the Great Hall."

……

Hearing the discussions of passers-by and looking at the situation at the scene, Lu Chuan felt that all this was arranged by Zheng Jing.

Fearing Zheng Jing's background, this coward dared not express any dissatisfaction.

In fact, Lu Chuan misunderstood. The reason why it was so lively today was not just because of Zheng Jing.

Xi'an Film Studio and Northwest Circle have made great efforts.

After three months of meticulous work, the later stage work of Lüshi Chunqiu was completed.

On August 8, under the organization of Zhou Xiaowen, everyone watched some episodes of the TV series together.

After reading it, Zheng Jing praised it highly.

Even from the perspective of later generations, Lüshi Chunqiu is first-class in all aspects.

Be it the plot and characters of the TV series, the costumes and props, the pictures, or the theme song and soundtrack of the TV series, there is nothing to complain about.

The total investment in Lüshi Chunqiu was 1200 million yuan. Because there were no big-name actors and the shooting progress exceeded expectations, only 1030 million yuan was spent on production.

The crew still has 170 million yuan in funds in its account, which can be used as publicity expenses.

After watching the TV series, Zheng Jing suggested holding a grand film viewing party.

On the one hand, it can hype and promote the TV series and build momentum for "Lüshi Chunqiu". On the other hand, inviting major TV stations to watch the show will also be beneficial to the subsequent sales of the film.

Zheng Jing's proposal was adopted. Everyone worked together, mobilized their personal connections, and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to make today's film screening possible.

"Master Jing, you should know Director Zhang Yimou." After Jiang Wen entered, Gu Changning introduced him, "This is Mr. Zhang Weiping, the boss of New Picture Pictures."

Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping were both invited by Xiying.

Zheng Jing got to know the two of them.

Zhang Yi was very polite. He smiled and said, "I hope we can cooperate in the future."

Zheng Jing looked at Zhang Yi's signature eye bags and said, "There will definitely be a chance."

Zhang Yi is an energetic man with top-notch directing skills and is very fast at filming.

As long as Zheng Jing can control the script, Zhang Yimou can also be a good tool.

Working with these big directors will naturally attract attention and the broadcast effect will be good, which is very beneficial for developing character cards.

"Master Jing, your press conference is so grand. It really opened my eyes."

Compared with Zhang Yimou, Zhang Weiping, as a film businessman, attaches more importance to the arrangement of today's film screening.

He felt that he had learned a lot and that this kind of hype and publicity method was worth learning from.

After a while, Ouyang Changlin also arrived.

Behind him was Qin Yan, the director of the film purchasing department of Mango TV, a middle-aged woman in her forties. Zheng Jing took two steps forward and took the initiative to greet her.

"Director Ouyang, I didn't expect you to come here in person. Thank you for your support!"

Ouyang Changlin smiled and said, “I have said before that our station is very optimistic about the drama Lüshi Chunqiu.

I have been waiting for your notification, President Zheng."

"Haha, you're the first person I thought of when I thought of holding this movie screening.

After the event is over, shall we have a drink together in the evening? "

"That's great. I'm worried about where to eat tonight."

After Ouyang Changlin returned from the United States, he was promoted. He is now the deputy director of Hu Nan Optoelectronics and concurrently the deputy director of Mango TV.

Although many TV stations were invited to this film viewing event, Zheng Jing’s primary target was still Yangshi and Satellite TV channels.

Mango TV is the focus.

Because he and Ouyang Changlin were friends, when Ouyang Changlin got promoted, Zheng Xingguo and Zheng Jing specially sent him gifts to maintain the relationship.

At 1:50 p.m., all the guests entered the venue. Zheng Jingcai held Chen Hao's hand and walked into a hall on the third floor.

Yang Xue was filming in Shanghai and did not attend the film screening.

The National Assembly Hall, with its Golden Hall and Great Hall that can accommodate 10,000 people, is the most imposing, but its rent is also the most expensive.

There were no audiences for the screening of "Lüshi Chunqiu" this time, so the Shaanxi Selenium Hall was used.

The decoration of the Shaanxi Hall is antique and there are replicas of Qin bronze chariots and horses on display in the hall. It is most appropriate to hold a screening of "Lüshi Chunqiu" here.

Moreover, the exhibition hall is smaller, so the effect of watching TV series is better.

After everyone was seated, the lights dimmed and exciting music started, attracting everyone's attention.

Teacher Tu Honggang, wearing a Tang suit and holding a microphone, appeared on the stage and began to sing the theme song of the TV series - Rise.

"The wind destroys the strong grass, and the white dew turns into frost~"

As the first line of lyrics was sung, Lao Ai, played by Zheng Jing, appeared on the big screen.

His appearance as Lao Ai fully illustrates what evil charm is and is extremely stunning.

Lao Ai is performing the "wheel spinning" trick.

His expression was complicated. He seemed to be smiling smugly, but his eyes contained humiliation and anger.

The plot of the wheel turning dark also matches the lyrics: the wind blows the strong grass, and the white dew turns into frost.

Just five seconds of lyrics, combined with five seconds of footage, have achieved a striking effect.

The guests present no longer whispered to each other. Everyone held their breath, watching the opening credits on the screen while listening to Tu Honggang's singing.

"If there is a beautiful woman, she is on the other side of the water."

The singing continued, and Zhao Ji, dressed in snow, danced gracefully. She had an enchanting figure, charming eyes, bright and beautiful appearance, and a strong aura.

If we were to pick the mainland director who is best at filming actresses, Zhou Xiaowen would definitely be among the top.

This director, who likes to shoot large-scale scenes, is very good at photographing actresses.

Yang Xue's brightness and charm were clearly revealed under his lens.

Without even saying it explicitly, everyone can guess that this is Zhao Ji, the heroine of the show.

"The army is mighty as it flows eastwards along the Wei River, and the heroes are fighting for supremacy with their flags flying high~"

The war scenes flashed by, and although they were not as shocking as those in blockbuster movies, they were also excellent scenes in the TV series.

Combined with Tu Honggang's singing, the epic feeling is still very strong.

"The world comes into my dream, and my love shakes the mountains and rivers
A man's heart is as strong as his heart, Qinchuan has been the land of emperors since ancient times~"

When it came to the chorus, Tu Honggang showed his full strength. His passionate singing coupled with the TV drama images directly shocked the whole audience.

The song "Rise" has been sung by two powerful female singers, Chen Bing and Tan Jing, and each of them interpreted it in a different way.

But when Tu Honggang sang it, it sounded like a mighty army as soon as he opened his mouth, with a more powerful, passionate and heavy momentum.

"God connects to the sky, thoughts penetrate the wilderness, like the Xun and the Chi, nourished by the heavens and brewed by the earth;
The six directions will sweep away the enemy with their strength, and the west wind will blow wildly~
Galloping on the battlefield, blood casts a brilliant chapter~
The Spring and Autumn Annals wrote again with Mo Yun's pen, and wrote down the national mourning..."

The last sentence, "Rewriting the Spring and Autumn Annals", echoes the title of the play Lüshi Chunqiu.

After the song was over, led by Zheng Jing and others, the whole audience burst into warm applause.
