I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

When the emperor is weak and incompetent, it is easy for his maternal relatives to interfere in politics. However, the emperor is unwilling to become a puppet of his maternal relatives, so he joins forces with the eunuchs closest to him to suppress them.

Unwilling to withdraw from the political arena, the imperial relatives joined forces with scholars who disliked eunuchs to kill them.

This constant turmoil kept the court in a state of flux and accelerated the pace at which local areas broke away from the central government.

This also hastened the arrival of a chaotic era.

But what era was the late Eastern Han Dynasty?
Chaotic times.

You're lucky if the government doesn't levy exorbitant taxes on you; how can you expect them to help you?
Famine struck the land, and people resorted to cannibalism.

The people had reached the point where they were resorting to cannibalism, which shows how devastating the famine was at that time.

This is why Zhang Jiao was able to succeed at that time; he was able to win the people's enthusiastic support by treating them a little better.

"The filming techniques are nothing special, and quite mediocre. It uses a narrative approach, which is indeed suitable for historical films because it's stable. However, this filming technique also has its flaws and fails to capture the audience's interest..."

Zhang Guoshi watched the film for almost an hour and offered his own comments, but he found it quite strange.

Logically speaking, this narrative shooting technique is quite boring, and the audience should not be able to watch it. However, judging from the reactions of the people around me, they all seem to be immersed in the plot.

Even he himself was eager to see what the next part of the story would be like.

"Is it captivating? Is that the charm of Cheng Sheng's films?"

Zhang Guoshi muttered to himself.

Sitting next to Zhang Guoshi, Zhang Weiping secretly scoffed.

Ah!
How could someone with this level of skill win the Best Director award at Cannes?
Are the Cannes jury members blind?!
They must have taken money from Cheng Sheng!
Zhang Weiping looked down on Cheng Sheng from the bottom of his heart, so he wasn't focused on the plot, but instead kept an eye on the audience's reactions.

Seeing those people engrossed in the movie, he went from disdain to mockery, feeling that these people had no appreciation at all. What was so interesting about such a movie? It would be better to watch the small films from Little Days Country.

……

The story, which lasted for over an hour, quickly came to its final scene.

Standing on the high platform, Zhang Jiao looked at the countless Taiping soldiers and shouted a heart-stirring sentence: "The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise. In the year of Jiazi, the world will be blessed. I, Zhang Jiao, beg the great Han to die."

As soon as these words were spoken, the film showed scenes of the war between the Taiping Army and the Han Dynasty.

As the scenes kept changing.

The sounds of fighting.

The sound of horses neighing.

The sound of weapons clashing.

Smoke rises from the battlefield.

Fan Yuan led his troops in a charge, his face bearing his faith as he wielded his spear.

A long spear swept across the entire battlefield, establishing Fan Yuan's image as a female war goddess.

Fan Yuan displayed precise attack power and explosive force in battle, quickly defeating every enemy in her path.

She was agile and swift on the battlefield, displaying unwavering faith in the face of powerful enemies, her leather armor stained red with blood.

During battle, her battle skirt flutters like flames, and her movements combine power and beauty, creating a unique visual impact.

At this moment, Fan Yuan, played by Jing Tian, ​​is like a female war goddess who has broken through the crumbling dynasty.

The female celebrities watching were all stunned; the scene was so visually stimulating that it shocked them all.

I wondered if they could achieve the same level of success as Jing Tian if they were to play Fan Yuan.

The film's final shot showed Zhang Jiao waving his flag, gazing confidently ahead with an air of dominance, before the credits rolled. As the credits appeared, the guests snapped out of their daze, some whispering amongst themselves.

"Cheng Sheng's filming of the Three Kingdoms is truly magnificent and is in no way inferior to the old Three Kingdoms TV series."

"I love Jing Tian's portrayal of Fan Yuan the most. Her heroic and dashing appearance is just perfect for me!"

"Director Chen's portrayal of Zhang Jiao was so domineering, especially that line, 'I am Zhang Jiao, a humble Taoist priest, and I invite you, great man, to die.' It made me tremble all over."

"That's really powerful, even more powerful than what Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted."

"Zhang Jiao never said this line; I heard that Cheng Sheng added it himself."

"This one line alone elevates the entire movie."

"This movie is so good! Every character seems so real, and the actors' performances are absolutely amazing."

"Director Chen truly deserves his Cannes Best Actor award; he is the absolute lead in this film."

"How much do you think this movie will gross? Will it break the record set by 'The Great Tang Dynasty'?"

"It must be very difficult! After all, the box office of 'The Great Tang Dynasty 1' was just a miracle."

"Director Cheng is really good at making movies. Before 'Three Kingdoms' was even released, it had already recouped its investment costs and is now making pure profit."

"I heard that the movie 'Red Cliff' was originally scheduled to be released during the summer season, but for some reason, it has been postponed to next month."

"What else could it be? The General Administration made the move, so Wu Baige must have offended someone."

“Serves him right. I heard that Wu Baige was the one behind the scenes smearing Cheng Sheng for plagiarism.”

"..."

Amidst the hushed whispers of the crowd, the theater lights came on.

Instantly, applause followed.

Cheng Sheng shook hands with Third Master Han and Yu Dong, and a handsome smile appeared on his lips as they congratulated him.

Then, under everyone's gaze, he stood up, turned to face all the guests, waved, and walked towards the stage.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Daoming, Da Tiantian, Li Heiniu, Bao Guoan and others also stood up and followed Cheng Sheng onto the stage.

Then came the Q&A session following the premiere.

The host invited by Shengli Film Company to host the premiere was Zhou Tao from CCTV.

Zhou Tao is known as the most beautiful woman on CCTV.

When Zhou Tao first debuted, she ran with a swagger. She was a regular in the front row of "Xinwen Lianbo" (the nightly news program on CCTV). It's not easy to make serious news sound warm and engaging, especially with her solid broadcasting skills, which make people feel that she is a professional just by listening to her tone.

Her tone of voice could switch freely between serious and friendly, neither stiff nor casual; even the words in the subtitles seemed to dance along with her voice.

Few can withstand that level of skill.

She's not only a "benchmark" for news broadcasting, but she also brings out a strong personal style. She doesn't just rely on her striking looks; she has real talent for speaking.

In the late 90s, Zhou Tao's program "Approaching Science" showed many people that science could be down-to-earth, both interesting and professional.

Speaking of her hosting of "Happy Campus Tour," although the program is not as popular as a top-rated program nationwide, her steady and approachable personality gives the program a sense of tranquility reminiscent of old Beijing's hutongs, making the audience feel extremely comfortable.

It's not the kind of awkwardness that comes from trying too hard to be cute, but rather a genuine and natural sense of closeness.

She has hosted 17 CCTV Spring Festival Galas, the 50th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China celebrations, and the Hong Kong and Macao handover ceremonies, and has participated in commentary for numerous national-level sports events. (End of Chapter)
