Chapter 215 is still a new type (please subscribe for the fourth update!)

On September 9, Tang An went to a movie theater in Chaoyang District to attend the premiere of "The Sun Also Rises".

Jiang Wen's first film in 1999 years since he directed "The Devil Is Coming" in 5.

2005年6月筹备，2006年11月杀青，到今天，2007年9月20日全国首映！
As early as September 9, "The Sun Also Rises" premiered at the Venice Film Festival, and was nominated for the Golden Lion Award, but ultimately failed to win the trophy.

Anyway, Jiang Wen finally made a movie again, and there were quite a few audiences, reporters, and colleagues at the scene.

For a director who hasn't made a film in seven years, it's hard to imagine that he still has so many loyal audiences.

It's like, although he is no longer in the arena, his legend is still circulating in the arena.

Otherwise, "Let the Bullets Fly" wouldn't be a god.

"Let the Bullets Fly" had a box office of 6.61 million, and even Feng Xiaogang's 6.73 million "Tangshan Earthquake" + 4.81 million "If You Are the One 2" failed to overshadow his limelight.

A person stepped onto the red carpet and strode inside, stopping occasionally to sign autographs.

"Director Tang, what type of film do you plan to make for your new film?" A fan asked expectantly while Tang An signed his name.

Tang An returned the autograph book to him, and said with a slight smile, "This will be kept secret for the time being, but this is still a brand new subject, I hope to go to the cinema to support a movie ticket!"

"Then Director Tang's "Painted Skin" was directed by you?" A fan next to him asked loudly.

"Painted Skin will also be directed by Wu Ershan, who is also a very good director."

Now Tang An also has a considerable number of fans, at least more than some of the first-line stars here.

As a behind-the-scenes worker, it is difficult to have as many fans as a star, except for top directors who rely on movies with high box office and high reputation to slowly accumulate.

All the way to sign, nod, smile, and finally walked through the red carpet.A few reporters blocked the head-on.

"Hi, Director Tang, may I ask if you and Hua Yi are already in a deadlock?"

"Director Tang, why did you invest in "Painted Skin" with Bernard?"

"It is said that Director Tang selected a student from the Shanghai Academy of Drama to star in a new film when you were lecturing at the Beijing Film Academy. Is this true?"

There was a lot of chattering, coupled with the cheers of the crazy fans behind, Tang An could almost only see their mouths opening and closing, and couldn't hear clearly at all.

Tang An quickly pressed his hands together to calm them down.

"Don't worry everyone, I'm here to attend the premiere ceremony today, please keep order and don't disturb the people behind!"

The reporters saw that there were still celebrities coming in from behind, so they didn't want to waste too much time, so they calmed down consciously and asked some questions in turn.

"I am very happy working in Huayi now, and there is no contradiction!"

"Painted Skin is a very famous story in our country, and it is well-known in China. I am confident that this movie will satisfy the audience. That's why I cooperated with Bernard and Ningxia Film Studio to invest in this movie!"

"As for the new film, I did choose a student when I was giving a lecture at the Beijing Film Academy, and he is very suitable for a role in the film!"

Tang An answered the reporter's questions one by one, and there was nothing to hide, telling the truth.

"Then Director Tang, are you dissatisfied with the Beijing Film Academy? Why did you choose a student from another school?" The reporter asked immediately.

"Of course not!" Tang An flatly denied.

"At that time, students from many schools attended the class, and I didn't know who was from which school. I just chose the most suitable one according to the character design requirements of the script."

"There are so many students in the Film Academy who don't meet Director Tang's requirements?"

"It's not that their students are bad, it's just that they just don't suit the roles in my play, the types are different!"

"Then what type of director Tang's new movie is it?"

"My new film is"

Shit, I almost followed what he said, but fortunately, I reacted quickly!
Tang An continued, "This is a new category, a type that has never been seen in the domestic film market. I hope the audience will like it!"

Another new genre!

The reporters knew that they wanted to change the genre of each movie.

But the type that has not been seen in the domestic market?

Sci-fi has been filmed, so the mythology, fantasy, and adventure categories have not been filmed.

"Is Director Tang's new film a mythic genre, "Feng Shen Bang" or "Journey to the West"?"

"Neither, I will tell everyone when I turn it on."

After interviewing for a while, Tang An also stopped interviewing and walked inside after watching waves of stars go in.

"It's not a myth. Could it be that Tang An would touch Fantasy?"

"Impossible, can someone watch fantasy films made in China, the style of painting is not right!"

Everyone automatically made up the "Lord of the Rings" with oriental faces, and shook their heads.

"Maybe it's an adventure theme. This genre should be able to be filmed. Isn't there a "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series abroad?"

"That's not right, how could such a film be made with such a young student, Zhang Hanyu is almost the same!"

"Forget it, don't guess, I have a hunch that this time Tang An will still play cards unreasonably!"

"Normal commercial blockbusters are fine, don't make men and lilies for the sake of highlighting art!"

"It's okay for men and men, but Lily is fine. It would be better if you can go deeper in detail, hehe!"

"Hey. Hey hey."

When we came to the screening hall, almost everyone was there, not a few. It seemed that Jiang Wen's influence in the circle was really not small.

Several core directors of the fifth generation, the entire Xiying circle are here, and many filmmakers of the older generation also come to join in.

Four, five, six, seven, four generations of directors have come, and the third generation of directors is too old at this time, and many of them can't travel far.

"Thank you, Director!"

"Hi Director Wu!"

"Hello Director Huang!"

"Hello Director Tian!"

Greet everyone one by one, and use honorific names for everyone who is twice his age, since they are elders after all.

Jiang Wen stepped forward and patted Tang An's arm, "Tang An is here, the director of [-] million, amazing!"

"Brother Wen was joking, if you can take care of the tastes of the audience, let alone [-] million, one billion will come sooner or later!" Tang An said with a wave of his hand.

The later "Let the Bullets Fly" let people know that Jiang Wen can perfectly balance art and commerce, but the subsequent "One Step Away" returned to the old problem.

Jiang Wen wanted to greet other people, so Tang An just sat and waited for the movie to start.

These people have nothing to do with him, but some first- and second-tier stars and executives from various companies come to chat with him constantly.

It’s still the movie in my memory, divided into four short stories, 1. Li Dongfang’s mother went crazy because of a pair of shoes, and became a crazy mother. She often did things like holding sheep up trees, talking to cats, digging trees, and digging stones. It caused Li Dongfang a lot of headaches. In the end, the crazy mother built a White House and disappeared, together with the new pair of shoes she bought.

In a college in the capital city, Lao Tang had an affair with Dr. Lin, but Dr. Lin had a crush on Lao Tang's good friend, the romantic teacher Liang.Teacher Liang was injured by everyone for "touching the buttocks" and was investigated. In the hospital bed, Teacher Liang knew Dr. Lin's feelings for him, and finally hanged to death on a water tower because of touching the buttocks.

Old Tang and his wife were sent to the small mountain village in the south. When they came, it was the day the crazy mother disappeared. The person who picked them up was Li Dongfang.Old Tang went hunting with his children every day in the village, but his wife had an affair with Li Dongfang in the "White House", which was broken by Old Tang.

The fourth story is actually the beginning, with two women riding camels walking side by side.It was Old Tang's wife and the pregnant crazy mother. Old Tang married his wife. At the wedding, Teacher Liang and the women laughed loudly and touched their buttocks from time to time.The crazy mother who was pregnant with Liujia was going to claim her husband's relics. In the morgue where there was no corpse, she said to herself, on the train back, Li Dongfang was born on the railway line full of flowers.

Since then, the stories have been connected end to end, and the entanglement after several years seems to have been doomed, and the sun still rises as usual.

Inexplicable, yes, that's how it feels when you look at it as a pastime.
