I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 47 The End of the Movie
China Film Group already had reservations about Chen Kai's frequent increases in investment, and if he were to ask for more investment now, he might become even more disliked.

"Cousin, you played Empress Zhangsun so beautifully!"

While others marveled at the Qin King's Battle Formation Music, Song Zuer, who had come with Su Chang to the premiere as Nezha, looked on with envy.

Su Chang chuckled and pinched Song Zuer's delicate little face, saying, "Do you even know what 'pretty' means, you little brat?"

“Of course I know, cousin, you’re a great beauty.” Song Zuer said proudly, raising her pointed chin.

"Little brat, am I a great beauty?" Sitting on the other side of Su Chang was her best friend, Liu Yifei, the biological daughter of her godmother Liu Xiaoli, who leaned over and asked Song Zuer.

Liu Yifei was originally filming the TV series "Tianlong", but when she learned that her good friend's movie premiere was going to be held, she immediately insisted on attending. Liu Xiaoli also had her own thoughts, planning to take her daughter to broaden her horizons and see if there was a chance to work with those big directors.

Therefore, Liu Xiaoli brought Liu Yifei to the movie premiere.

Unfortunately, Liu Xiaoli wanted Su Chang to introduce her to Cheng Sheng, but the premiere was too busy for Cheng Sheng to entertain her.

They could only wait until the movie ended to see if there was a chance for Su Chang to help them meet Cheng Sheng.

"Sister Yifei is also a great beauty, but she's not as amazing as my cousin. My cousin is the Venice Film Festival Best Actress." Song Zuer's face was full of pride when she talked about Su Chang, as if she was using Su Chang as a tool to show off.

"Changchang, your little cousin is quite interesting."

Despite being belittled as inferior to Su Chang, Liu Yifei wasn't angry at all; instead, she smiled and said...

"Don't listen to her nonsense, Yifei, you're much prettier than me," Su Chang said.

She wasn't being modest; she was speaking from the heart. In her opinion, Liu Yifei's looks were truly stunning, and it was hard to find anyone in the entertainment industry who could compare to her.

While everyone was discussing it, the movie plot continued.

Cheng Sheng's film is completely historically accurate. Every character is very similar to the historical figures in terms of temperament. Even the lines are carefully designed using simulation panels, and every word spoken by each person is carefully considered.

So even if history professors watched this movie, they probably wouldn't be able to find fault with the dialogue.

The simulation panel presents a very simple plot. Anyone who knows history can understand what will happen next, but instead of thinking much about it, they are deeply attracted by the plot.

Although "The Great Tang Dynasty - Origins" is about the history of the Tang Dynasty, more than half of it is about the history of the late Sui Dynasty.

It all started when Yang Guang was besieged at Yanmen Pass, and then the young Li Shimin devised a plan that forced the Turks to retreat.

Then Li Shimin saw that the Sui Dynasty was about to fall into chaos... and then Li Shimin persuaded Li Yuan to raise an army against the Sui, which was the Jinyang Uprising.

Then Li Shimin led his troops into Chang'an, while the other protagonist, Yang Guang, indulged in debauchery and extravagance in Jiangdu, completely neglecting the affairs of the country.

At this point, the movie is actually halfway through; what follows is Yang Guang being killed by Yuwen Huaji.

Finally, Li Shimin led his troops to sweep across the Central Plains, laying the foundation for the Tang Dynasty.

The final scene shows Li Yuan, the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and Li Shimin's ascension to the throne and the change of the dynasty name to Zhenguan.

The movie ends here.

As for the Reign of Zhenguan that followed, that is the core content of the second part.

Subtitles come out.

The three-hour movie has ended.

But the entire theater was quiet, as if everyone was still immersed in the story and hadn't reacted for a long time.

Crack, crackle!

It's unclear who started it, but applause began, growing louder and louder until it was thunderous. "Bravo!"

"awesome."

"This is the Li Shimin I have in mind."

"Fu Dalong brought Yang Guang to life."

"My God! I finally understand why this movie won the Golden Lion at Venice. Director Cheng Sheng is amazing. He actually made a movie that can be written into textbooks."

"If there had been 10% movie content when I was studying history, I wouldn't have failed my history subject."

"Awesome! Whether it's Cheng Sheng or the actors in the movie, they are all incredibly talented. Their acting skills are phenomenal."

"Su Chang's portrayal of Empress Zhangsun perfectly captures her virtue and gentleness. No wonder some people say that Empress Zhangsun is the most intelligent empress in history."

"With Su Chang's acting skills, winning Best Newcomer is a bit of an understatement. She would be a shoo-in for Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival."

"Venice owes Su Chang a silver lion."

"What happens after Li Shimin ascends the throne? Will there be a second season? I'm really looking forward to it."

“Zheng Guolin brought Li Shimin to life. In my mind, Li Shimin should be just like him.”

"The young master from Taiyuan arrived in a brown coat. The administrator's assessment is truly accurate. Li Shimin, despite being a noble young master from Taiyuan, wore the clothes of a commoner and went deep among the masses, sharing their joys and sorrows. He was also the first emperor in Chinese history to establish a nation based on the people."

"Li Shimin is like a protagonist in a novel, and some novels probably wouldn't dare to write him like that, but the historical Li Shimin is even more praised than that."

"I want a Mary Sue life too!"

"The concubines in Emperor Yang Guang's harem are so beautiful!"

"Don't you guys think Princess Pingyang Zhao looks really cool and heroic? I'm completely captivated by her."

"Yes! What's the name of the actress who plays Princess Pingyang Zhao? The credits went by so fast I missed it in the blink of an eye."

"I think her name is Bai Baihe..."

As a supporting actress, Bai Baihe was not originally supposed to sit in the front row, but since she was a student at the Central Academy of Drama, Cheng Sheng arranged for her to sit in the front row with the teachers from the Central Academy of Drama.

Hearing someone mention her role as Princess Pingyang Zhao made Bai Baihe's lips curl into a slight smile.

If people are talking about you, it means you've become famous.

She may not be as wildly popular as Su Chang and Zeng Li, but as a student of the Central Academy of Drama, she is satisfied with her performance in her first film.

Tong Yaya and Wang Zhi, who also starred in the film "The Great Tang Dynasty - Origins", both looked dejected.

Su Chang was discussed, Zeng Li was discussed, Bai Baihe was praised, and even the coal boss's mistresses were said to be beautiful, but these palace maids, who had three lines, didn't even make a ripple.

"Yaya, we've all become background figures!" Wang Zhi whispered to Tong Yaya.

Tong Yaya stared blankly at the mistresses who were dressed up and sitting with the coal boss, and sighed inwardly, feeling a pang of jealousy.

She didn't think she was any less than those mistresses.

In terms of beauty, she is a great beauty with just a little dressing up.

However, when she looked down at her exposed skin, she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
