Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 462: Ending, Banquet Focus

The silence must be broken eventually.

In this situation, only Xu Zheng, the guest host, can do this.

"Hey~ Director Lin, let me ask you something. Are you sure you didn't go to the preview first and then spend two days preparing for today's speech?"

Xu Zheng looked suspicious.

"Hahaha!"

"It's so funny. Brother Shan Zheng said what I wanted to say."

“It’s hard not to agree!”

"Nan Da, please admit it, so I can feel better."

"That's right! I'm devastated!"

……

The audience responded with support for Xu Zheng's words.

The group of film and television professionals in front also showed expressions of approval, which did have a bit of a dampening effect on people's self-confidence.

As a human being, aren't you going too far?
"It seems I've been discovered. I was looking at the cheat sheet on my palm while I was talking."

Seeing this, Lin Li cooperated very well and raised his left palm, looking embarrassed, as if he had been discovered.

There was another burst of laughter at the scene. Xu Zheng also made a speechless expression, then smiled and clasped his hands together to express his gratitude to Lin Li.

"Thank you Director Lin for your words. If it really goes as Director Lin said, we can have 30 games, not one less!"

Xu Zheng said seriously.

"That's right, Director Lin. I also have 30 shows."

"me too."

As Xu Zheng finished speaking, Wen Mu and Ning Hao on the side also echoed him.

If we can really reach 3 billion, it would be worth it, wouldn’t it?
"I'll remember this. Everyone, please bear witness to this!"

"Tsk~ This trip was really worth it."

Lin Li held up the microphone and looked around for support, then smacked his lips and exclaimed amid the shouts of "good".

The scene was filled with joy again. Everyone liked this humorous and witty Lin Li.

Very down to earth.

"Don't worry, it's not in vain. It's definitely not in vain."

Xu Zheng continued to wave his hands cheerfully.

Lin Li smiled and bowed to him, then handed the microphone to the staff member beside him and sat down slowly.

Those who should be praised have been praised, and those who should be nursed have been nursed. It would be inappropriate to take up any more time.

After Lin Li sat down, Huang Xiaoming stood up on his own initiative, and his first sentence caused a burst of laughter at the scene.

"This is so fucking awesome. I have to swear to express how touched I am."

His voice is very loud, which shows that the film is really shocking enough for him.

"Even if I didn't participate, I'd be very proud. If there's such a good movie in the future, I'd be invited to play a small role, even if it's at my own expense."

Huang Xiaoming didn't care about everyone's reaction and said sincerely.

"Don't worry, Xiao Ming, there will definitely be a chance."

Ning Hao took over the conversation and responded with a smile.

"To be honest, I didn't bring any tissues with me, so I had to wipe my tears and snot all over my clothes. Now my clothes are covered with snot and tears."

Huang Xiaoming held the microphone, looked down at the clothes in front of him and joked to himself.

There was a burst of good-natured laughter at the scene. After all, there were many people in the same situation as him.

"Hey, I remember Xiao Ming, your Escape Plan 2 is also being shown. If you like action movies, you can go and support it, Xiao Ming..."

"There's no need to talk about this here. It's not appropriate."

Xu Zheng seemed to suddenly remember that Huang Xiaoming's movie was also in theaters, and started to promote it on the spot, but was interrupted by Huang Xiaoming waving his hand.

Lin Li glanced at Huang Xiaoming who was sitting not far to his right and nodded secretly. No wonder the leader was so popular in the circle, his emotional intelligence and the way he did things were really amazing.

Judging from the current data, Escape Plan 2 is indeed not strong enough.

The ratings on Maoyan and Douban are very low, and the box office is not satisfactory.

However, it seems that Huang Xiaoming does not want to take advantage of the premiere of I Am Not a God of Medicine to gain publicity. He even came to support his friend's film during the release of his own film and promoted it sincerely. His magnanimity exceeds that of many people in the circle.

Apart from poor vision, there are almost no shortcomings.

Lin Li glanced at the second row of seats. Yang Ying was staring at Huang Xiaoming with a loving look as he spoke.

Tsk~ what a good actor.

No wonder a smart leader would fall into her hands. It’s not unfair.

The emotional value is really well-deserved.

At this time, he noticed that Huang Xiaoming, who was sitting down, also saw Yang Ying's admiring eyes, and smiled evilly with satisfaction.

Hmm…a match made in heaven, please lock it up.

However, many filmmakers do appreciate each other and there is not only competition between them. Good film works are not only competitors at the box office, but also teaching materials worth learning and reference.

Love Apartment, which is also scheduled to be released in the summer, has undoubtedly been compared to Dying to Survive by many people.

But director Wei Zheng was particularly calm. Not only did he post a message on Weibo praising Dying to Survive, he also went to the theater to watch the movie in person and wrote a review after returning.

Of course, I won’t comment much on his movie.

Afterwards, many guests expressed their thoughts on the film. Liu Xiaoqing stood up and wiped her tears and said, "It has been a long time since we have seen such a classic local film. Congratulations, it is really great."

Gu Changwei, Guan Hu, Huang Bo, Yao Chen and others all expressed their thoughts on the film, "This is the most vivid performance I've ever seen from Xu Zheng", "Teacher Xu's performance can be measured with a ruler, it's very precise, he has always been my role model", and they all praised Xu Zheng's wonderful performance, but few people mentioned Wen Mu.

It seems that everyone thinks that the reason for the success of this movie lies in Xu Zheng. In Lin Li's opinion, although Xu Zheng himself plays a large role, without Wen Mu's ability to tell stories and arrange scenes, this movie would not have been so successful.

At least judging from their subsequent works, Wen Mu also proved himself again with Miracle Stupid Kid after Medicine God, while Xu Zheng...

Afterwards, during the audience question session, a question from a Shuimu student caused the audience to be silent for a few seconds.

“I wonder what Mr. Xu Zheng thinks about the similarities between some of the movie’s plots and the Dallas Buyers Club.”

The boy who asked the question was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and looked like a very serious science student.

After a brief silence, Xu Zheng looked at him seriously and gave an answer.

"It's still different. Local stories are local stories. We selected real events, used the goodwill of the prototype characters, and then fictionalized the characters in the film."

The answer was a bit simple, but it was enough to get by. The boy didn't say much and sat back quietly.

Lin Li smiled and shook his head silently.

All articles in the world are plagiarized, and the same goes for movies.

It's not surprising to see the shadow of another movie in one movie, the premise is how the director and actors create a new feeling.

In the subsequent process, the main creators of "Dying to Survive" also recounted their interesting stories and insights during the filming process. Tan Zhuo and Wang Chuanjun even shed tears on the spot, and it was obvious that they were moved by the heart.

At the end of the premiere, Lu Yong, the prototype of the protagonist, also appeared on the scene and won warm applause.

However, the first thing Lu Yong did when he took office was to clarify himself.

"I have never sold drugs. I am a patient and I just helped people. The characters in the movie are different from me, but I gradually understood it because film creation may require some adaptation."

"Mr. Lu is right. I would like to apologize to Mr. Lu here as well."

At this time, Xu Zheng apologized directly on the spot. Ning Hao and Wen Mu also stepped forward and bowed. The two sides started to pull each other on the stage. It can be said that the publicity effect was maximized.

Lin Li had already started yawning in the audience, feeling extremely bored.

The movie is a good movie and the actors are good actors, but for the sake of publicity, there are indeed a few more tricks.

Finally, after about four hours, the premiere was finally announced to end with Park Shusheng's singing like a summer flower.

I guess this guy is short of money recently, otherwise, given his personality, he would not easily participate in such a performance event.

But his singing was really good. Lin Li really wanted to order a song and listen to him sing "Ordinary Road" live, but he thought better of it, after all, it was someone else's home court.

It was already past six o'clock, and noticing the attention from everyone around him, Lin Li had already prepared to run away.

However, things did not go as he wished. Xu Zheng and Wen Mu stopped him and invited him to attend the dinner later.

Unable to resist the enthusiasm of the two, Lin Li had no choice but to agree.

So, at about 7:30, Lin Li, who was kept under close watch by Wen Mu the entire time, arrived at the dinner venue with a convoy of guests.

"Director Lin, don't worry. There will be an actress bothering you later. I will go and fend her off for you."

"Director Wen, thank you so much."

Lin Li said to Wen Mu with a helpless look on his face.

There was another reason why he didn't want to attend the dinner. Unlike the previous events, with bigwigs like Gong Yu and Sun Zhonghuai present, people who wanted to approach him didn't dare to be too enthusiastic, and some actors who were not famous enough didn't even dare to come forward.

This time it’s different. Ning Hao, Wen Mu and the others don’t have this kind of deterrent power yet.

The dinner was held in a high-end private club. Apart from anything else, the spacious hall was far beyond the reach of ordinary clubs.

When Lin Li and Wen Mu entered, almost everyone was already there. When they saw them enter, everyone's eyes immediately turned to them.

Many boys around girls can feel that their state has changed!
He held his chest high, abdomen in, and back straight, like a beast about to enter a fighting stance.

"Director Lin, I seem to have underestimated your charm."

Wen Mu also looked straight ahead and spoke without even looking at Lin Li.

"Does what Director Wen just said still count? Aren't you going to help me block it?"

Lin Li looked at him with amusement and teased.

"Hey... Director Lin, you better pray for the best. Our party doesn't have a theme. It's a free event."

"But we should be able to hold you off for a while."

Wen Mu and Lin Li also did not stop, talking as they walked.

Although the actresses in the field were eager to move, after all, the two had just arrived, and it was obvious that Xu Zheng and others who had already gone to greet them still wanted to greet Lin Li for a while, so no matter how anxious they were, they could not rush up now.

Xu Zheng and the others held Lin Li aside for a lively chat, and kept probing him about the release date of "Young Man". Lin Li also frankly admitted that it would be around half a month, which made them feel relieved.

Although Yao Shen was in a good momentum, they did not have absolute confidence against Lin Li.

During this period, Huang Xiaoming and others also came forward to chat with Lin Li. About half an hour later, Lin Li, who had already drunk at least a bottle of red wine, began to feel a little tipsy.

At this time, Xu Zheng and others were tactful enough not to surround Lin Li. After all, they didn't want to be killed by the gazes of the actresses around them.

Seeing that Lin Li was finally left alone, the young actress on the scene began to move.

Either one person or two or three people would come forward and chat with Lin Li enthusiastically. The deliberately lowered collars and the admiring words were enough to make many men lose their minds and direction.

However, Lin Li was very calm. The woman around him was excellent enough and he did not like any ordinary actress.

However, they have not been around recently, and he has been busy preparing for exams and has been keeping a low profile for a while. After being teased by so many actresses in succession, he couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart when he smelled the various scents in the air.

"Director Lin, I finally have time for you to be free."

At this moment, a tingling sound was heard. Lin Li turned around and the corners of his lips rose slightly.

Well, this is pretty good.
