China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 246 "Hero" is released and interviewed by the media! (Please subscribe!)

Three days later, Beijing.

The main creative team of "Hero" walked out of the CCTV building, and the ten-day promotional trip officially ended.

Several people came to the parking lot, and Lin Xuan waved goodbye to everyone.

"Brother Li, Brother Daoming, see you at the premiere."

"Viagra, Sister Manyu, remember to contact me when you come to the mainland."

"Sister Ziyi, keep in touch when you have time, don't be unfamiliar."

Lin Xuan's double-standard behavior made Zhang Ziyi laugh.

But this sentence was exactly what she wanted.

In the past few days, the two of them talked about things in simple terms, and Zhang Ziyi had set off countless fireworks in her mind.

I am extremely satisfied with Lin Xuan's ability.

If they just separated and stopped contacting each other, she would still be a little reluctant to bear it.

Before leaving, Zhang Ziyi hugged Lin Xuan forcefully and whispered in his ear:

"Contact me when you have time."

After she left, Zhang Yimou was the only one left.

Lin Xuan walked over with a smile: "Director Zhang, are there any cuts on the money?"

He was asking about tickets to the premiere.

"There are a few more, I thought you didn't need them."

Several of Lin Xuan's confidantes.

Fan Xiaopang, Gao Yuanyuan, Yan Danchen.

They are already well-known actors in the mainland, Xiaopang is a quasi-first-rate actor, and the others are second-rate actors.

All three are on the crew's invitation list and no additional tickets are needed.

"Of course I do. Many friends are asking me for tickets."

The premiere of "Heroes" is an end-of-year event.

Guests include senior executives of radio and television, leaders of China Film and Television, famous directors and actors in the industry, and bosses of film and television companies.

On such an occasion, no one in the circle would want to go.

So in addition to Liu Yifei, many people contacted him to ask for tickets.

Zhang Yimou made a phone call and said: "There are not many tickets left. I will give you five at most, and the location will not be very good."

"As long as you have a ticket, it doesn't matter where the seat is."

"Then I'll have someone from the company deliver the tickets to your home tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, Director Zhang."

…………

Driving home, it was getting dark.

"Boss, Miss Fan is here."

As soon as he walked in, the housekeeper reported the situation.

"Okay, I understand, go and do your work."

Lin Xuan walked into the backyard. The lights in the master bedroom were bright, and a figure stood in front of the window.

"What are you doing?"

Stepping into the bedroom, I saw Fan Xiaopang walking back and forth in a dress.

"I'm trying on dresses. You're here just in time. Do you think which dress suits me better?"

Lin Xuan looked at the clothes rack. Several of the dresses were long skirts, and they were all quite revealing.

"I think a down jacket suits you better."

Xiaopang's expectant expression was instantly disappointed.

"That's enough for you. How can anyone wear a down jacket to a premiere?"

"The temperature outside is already below zero, so you don't have to worry about freezing when you go out wearing these clothes."

"Then what's the solution? The male actor wears a suit and a woolen sweater underneath to keep warm, while the female actor can only wear a dress."

Xiaopang loves to walk on red carpets and be in the limelight, and Lin Xuan can't persuade her.

It's not just her. Which celebrity in the entertainment industry doesn't like the feeling of being in the spotlight, and Lin Xuan is also unavoidable.

"Then wear something conservative. This one is good. It has a long skirt and long sleeves. You can wear a cashmere sweater underneath."

Lin Xuan pointed to the box under the clothes rack.

The clothes here are all passed by the little fat guy.

"This one..."

Xiaopang looked disgusted.

"The premiere is not a catwalk, you are just the audience."

"Okay, then help me find the cashmere sweater."

Lin Xuan walked behind her and hugged her waist.

"The premiere is only a few days away, so don't be in a hurry. Let's take the time to rest."

Hearing this, Xiaopang put down his dress and rested his head on his chest.

"You're in such a hurry, haven't you had enough to eat on the set?"

"I have a big appetite and digest quickly."

"roll!"

Lin Xuan smiled and rubbed her waist, which seemed to have become thicker again.

"Seriously, it's time for you to lose weight."

Xiaopang turned his head and frowned coldly: "You said you don't need to lose weight."

The current fat boy is really worthy of his name, and his weight is estimated to be 120.

Although after gaining weight, she gained a lot of experience and could drive away the mosquitoes around her, but compared to the past, she was a little less stunning.

"Don't I have to film after the Chinese New Year? How can I film if I'm so fat?"

Her expression improved when she heard about the filming.

"Have you finished writing the script?"

"Well...it's almost over."

"It's not finished yet! I've seen other directors finalize the script at least half a year before filming starts."

The most time-consuming part of filming is not the shooting part, but the preparation before shooting. The most troublesome part is determining the script.

Those actors turned directors in later generations all claimed that they spent many years polishing the script, but I didn’t hear that they spent many years searching for locations and casting.

Lin Xuan is a well-known fast shooter in the industry, whether filming or directing.

The filming is quick because he has good acting skills, and he shoots martial arts dramas that do not require high acting skills.

Directing is fast because the script comes out quickly.

He doesn't need to come up with ideas or modify the script at all, this part of the work is directly done by the system.

Wang Jing can make three TV series a year, and he can also make three movies a year.

"I'm always thinking about it when I'm having a rest. Once I have the idea, I can just write it out."

"oh……"

Xiaopang didn't understand screenwriting, so he fooled him.

"Then how many pounds do I need to lose?"

Lin Xuan stretched out two fingers: "20 pounds."

Hearing this, Fan Xiaopang's face immediately fell.

20 pounds, how long will she have to lose weight?

"I'll teach you a good way to lose weight through exercise."

Fan Xiaopang rolled his eyes.

The movements in Lin Xuan's mouth were definitely not serious words.

…………

Sleep until you wake up naturally.

Xiaopang went to work, while Lin Xuan started vacation mode.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, New Picture's employees delivered the tickets for the premiere.

Lin Xuan immediately handed the ticket to his assistant and asked him to send it to a few friends, while he called to inform them.

When Liu Yifei received the call, she thought Lin Xuan was going to deliver the tickets in person, and her heart suddenly felt sweet.

"Mom, Director Lin will come over later to give away tickets to the premiere. You can make some dishes."

Liu Xiaoli's face was full of confusion: "It's just a ticket, why did he come in person?"

"I do not know then."

Liu Yifei smiled proudly.

"He can't get used to my cooking, so let the nanny do it."

"No, only by cooking in person can you show your sincerity."

"You..." Liu Xiaoli was speechless.

"Okay, I'll give him a cucumber, whether he likes it or not."

Liu Xiaoli turned around and entered the kitchen.

Liu Yifei stood at the door waiting happily.

An hour later, Assistant Lin Xuan drove to the villa on the outskirts of Beijing.

"Hello, Miss Liu, these are the premiere tickets given to you by Director Lin."

Liu Yifei didn't answer, but stretched her head to look into the car.

The assistant looked confused.

This girl can't be a fool.

"Where's Director Lin?"

Seeing no one in the car, Liu Yifei couldn't hide the disappointment on her face.

"Director Lin is busy with work, so he asked me to deliver the tickets."

"Busy at work..." Liu Yifei sighed and took away the ticket angrily.

When the assistant drove away, she turned around and saw her mother holding a plate and leaning against the door frame with a smile on her face.

"Oh, Lin Xuan didn't come, it's a pity for the cucumbers I worked so hard to make."

Liu Yifei's face turned red with anger.

"I eat!"

She grabbed the dinner plate and ran straight to the room, her mother's laughter coming from behind.

Damn Lin Xuan, stinky Lin Xuan!

She grabbed the cucumber and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing hard and cursing silently.

How embarrassing!

…………

On December 12, "Hero" premiered.

Lin Xuan got up on time, put on a custom-made suit, and took a car to the Beijing Cinema.

It was still early, and the square outside the theater was already crowded.

There were hundreds of fans, fans, and reporters, and there were also staff laying out the red carpet and debugging equipment.

Lin Xuan went in through the back door and found the hall where the crew was staying.

"Lin Xuan, this is your script."

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Yimou handed him a brochure.

At the premiere, several leading actors were expected to speak, and the booklet contained questions that reporters would ask later.

There are also standard protocols above for reference.

Half an hour later, someone came over from the other side of the red carpet.

At this time, many people had come to the hall.

People like department heads and film and television company bosses who find it inconvenient to appear in public usually come in through the back door.

There were more and more people in the hall, and Zhang Yimou couldn't handle it. Several leading actors had to help receive the guests.

Lin Xuan has a good network of contacts in the entertainment industry and can chat with anyone he meets.

"Lin Xuan."

Fan Xiaopang came over wearing that conservative dress.

"What questions did the reporters outside ask you?"

"These are commonplace questions, and half of them have to do with you."

The two of them are very close, but there has been no official announcement. The media is more anxious than them.

"Look at those people."

Lin Xuan quietly pointed to other female celebrities.

There was light snow falling outside, and these people were wearing strapless and backless dresses. They were so beautiful.

Seeing the others shivering from the cold, Fan Xiaopang finally wore his clothes in vain.

"Isn't it cold if you wear a cashmere sweater underneath?"

"Fortunately, it's not too cold. Where's Director Zhang? Please introduce him to me."

"I didn't see you were busy. Hurry up and sit down. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Not long after Fan Xiaopang left, Gao Yuanyuan and Yan Danchen also came, followed by Liu Yifei and her mother.

"Director Lin! Thank you for your vote."

"You're welcome."

Liu Xiaoli took the initiative to greet him.

Liu Yifei, who always liked to cling to him, looked at him with a somewhat complaining look.

How did I offend this girl?

Lin Xuan was curious, but didn't ask much.

As a girl, your mood changes just like the weather in June.

After saying hello, they went to sit in the back row.

It was approaching 12 noon, and the hall was already full.

Even the hallways were crowded with media reporters.

The crew chief came to the stage, Zhang Yimou said a few words of thanks, and then sat down to watch the movie.

…………

The lights in the hall dimmed, the screen came on, and a voiceover began to introduce the background of the era.

In order to unify the world, Qin launched a war against the six countries.

This move caused dissatisfaction among the knights of the Six Kingdoms, and they all waited for an opportunity to assassinate the King of Qin.

Among them, three assassins were the most feared by King Qin.

Zhao Guo’s assassin Changkong, the couple’s assassin Canjian, and Feixue.

The King of Qin ordered that Changkong be killed, and he took nearly twenty steps to drink with the King.

The Killing Sword and the Flying Snow are each about ten steps away. Needless to say, there are official appointments and rewards.

The reward order was issued, and a large number of experts came to challenge, but no one survived.

Until one day, the Qin swordsman Wuming killed three people and came to Xianyang Palace to receive the reward.

He told King Qin how he killed three people.

The first is Changkong played by Lin Xuan. One of them holds a sword and the other holds a gun, and they fight in the heavy rain.

The martial arts scenes between Li Lianjie and Lin Xuan are very exciting.

Except for the last slow motion, the remaining shots are all real shots, and there is no acceleration throughout.

After the scene was over, Lin Xuan turned his head slightly and looked at Li Lianjie and smiled.

Although "Hero" is a martial arts drama, they are the only two people in the whole drama who have a foundation in kung fu.

When the scene was being filmed, the two had a real confrontation and it was very enjoyable.

Changkong was killed by Wuming, and then it was Canjian Feixue's turn.

Wuming asked Canjian for help. Halfway through writing, the Qin army came to kill him.

A rain of arrows covered the sky, and Wuming and Feixue rushed out of the house to block the arrows for him.

This shot is majestic, and the power of the Qin army is vividly and exquisitely portrayed.

When the Qin army withdrew, Wuming took advantage of Feixue and Changkong's romance to cause conflict between the two.

Feixue killed Can Jian, then killed his maid Ru Yue, and finally died under the nameless sword.

King Qin heard the flaw. He had seen Can Jian Feixue before, and they were not like this.

So I made a bold guess.

Wuming came today to assassinate him, but he was too far away from King Qin, so he needed the heads of three people to allow him to advance thirty steps.

King Qin's guess was right. Wuming had a sword move called "Ten steps, one kill."

Within ten steps, he was confident of killing anyone.

King Qin was very smart, but he still fell into the trap.

Wu Ming revealed the truth, and Can Jian persuaded him not to assassinate King Qin before coming.

Because he is the only one in the world who has the ability to unify the six countries.

After reunification, there will be no more wars within the Seven Kingdoms.

At the last moment, Wuming understood Can Jian's painstaking efforts and only used the scabbard to stab King Qin's clothes.

King Qin was very moved and did not want to kill him.

However, the laws of the Qin Dynasty were strict, and assassinating the King of Qin was an unforgivable death penalty.

Under the persuasion of the minister, Wuming died from the Qin army's locust arrows.

…………

When the movie ended, the lights in the hall came on and there was warm applause.

The staff handed over the microphone, and the cast and crew stepped forward to be interviewed.

The first is Zhang Yimou.

He talked about the film's ideas, photography, images, colors, and the hardships during filming.

Lin Xuan listened carefully and nodded slightly from time to time.

To outsiders, he doesn't know how to pretend to understand.

In fact, he has taken a complete directing course and can understand Zhang Yimou's ideas better than most of the directors here.

After Zhang Yimou finished answering, it was followed by the starring actor Li Lianjie.

The reporter mainly asked questions about martial arts.

"You have several fighting scenes in the play, which one is your favorite?"

This question is somewhat difficult to answer.

"I loved them all because every scene was very hard to shoot."

There were bursts of laughter in the hall, and everyone could tell that this was a lie.

The reporter continued to ask: "Everyone laughed, you should choose one."

Li Lianjie turned to look at Lin Xuan.

"If I had to choose one, it would be the scene with Lin Xuan."

Lin Xuan took the microphone and smiled.

"Why did you choose this scene?"

"Because this is a real fight!"

Hearing this, the hall was in an uproar.

In the movie, Wuming and Changkong's moves were as fast as lightning, which dazzled the audience.

I didn't expect it to be a real fight.

If this were to go wrong, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Yes, Lin Xuan has a deep foundation in martial arts and a high level of marksmanship..."

Li Lianjie and Lin Xuan didn't get along for long.

But he valued and liked this new generation leader of domestic entertainment, so he said a lot of good things.

　The second one is that I stayed up late to write and will post it tomorrow morning!
