Director of Photography Department of Huayu

Chapter 400 Premiere, I'm on the Pacific, okay?

Zhang Ziyi looked very embarrassed at this moment.

After Warner Bros. announced the inception of "Inception", she flew to Los Angeles almost immediately and walked around the Warner Bros. set with her boyfriend Avi Nevo, but came out looking embarrassed and disappointed.

There are no suitable roles available.

She even suspected at one point that her boyfriend might be a fake Warner Bros. shareholder.
"I can't get involved in Nolan's films."

Ivy Nevo shrugged helplessly. "But someone told me that Nolan has already decided on some of the important roles, and they've probably already been given out."

"Given it away?"

Zhang Ziyi frowned slightly, thinking of a possibility, but she was reluctant to admit it.

"Yes, there's still a male Asian role available. Actors from Japan, Korea, and your country are fiercely competing for it. Warner Bros. is considering actors like Li Lianjie, Tony Leung, and Ken Watanabe."

As an individual shareholder, Ivy Nevo certainly has more information than the average person, but he has absolutely no say in Nolan's films.

"Fine." Zhang Ziyi had no choice; the fierce competition for male roles was none of her concern.

"Let's go on vacation to the Caribbean beach."

"."

On the afternoon of December 30th, a cool breeze swept through Sanlitun, Beijing, but the chill did not dampen the enthusiastic atmosphere at the premiere of "Bad Genius".

Outside the Star Cinema, a red carpet had already been laid out, and huge posters were hung high.

Some media reporters had already taken their positions, setting up lights and cameras aimed at the entrance, waiting for the premiere to begin in the evening.

Wang Changtian was very proactive and called early on:

"Director Wu, Enlight Media is ready to go. Today, all of our artists who don't have any work to do will come out to support the film."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chen couldn't help but scratch his head and tease him:
"Mr. Wang, which artists are represented by Enlight Media again?"

"Hahaha"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Wang Changtian himself laughed: "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, it's the host."

In the dressing room, Liu Yifei heard Wu Chen's laughter and couldn't help but peek out and ask, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Mr. Wang just said that Enlight Media is going to call all its artists over to cheer us on."

"Huh?" Liu Yifei was taken aback, looking confused. "Which artists are under Enlight Media again?"

"That's why I asked too."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei chuckled and then beckoned to Wu Chen: "Junior brother, come here quickly and help me take a look at this dress."

Upon seeing this, Wu Chen quickly went over.

Liu Yifei stood under the corridor lights, wearing a deep burgundy velvet off-shoulder dress. Her shoulders were beautiful, and with a gentle sway of her skirt, it billowed like waves.

The delicate waistline is outlined by a silver metallic belt, making her even more graceful.

Her hair was loosely tied back, with a few strands falling beside her temples. The diamond necklace around her neck reflected a dazzling light, making her skin appear as white as porcelain.

"Does it look good?"

Liu Yifei blinked her beautiful eyes, her dimpled smile carrying a hint of allure, and she gracefully turned around in front of Wu Chen.

Under Liu Yifei's gaze, Wu Chen turned and went into the dressing room. He then picked out a spaghetti-strap top and draped it over Liu Yifei's shoulders, saying, "It's cold at night."

Liu Yifei chuckled and snuggled into his arms, looking up at him coquettishly, "You might as well just give me your coat."

"No way, I'll freeze to death!"

Liu Yifei immediately started to act coquettishly, wrapping her hands around his neck, standing on tiptoe, and smiling sweetly: "I just want to cover myself with your warm coat."

As soon as she finished speaking, her red lips gently kissed Wu Chen's cheek, and a delicate fragrance wafted over. Their eyes met, and as their gazes intertwined, Liu Yifei's cheeks quickly flushed with a blush.

A moment later, their lips parted.

Liu Yifei glanced down at her skirt and said coquettishly, "Your hands, you just can't shake this bad habit, you've wrinkled your dress."

After saying that, he quickly raised his hand and gently smoothed out the wrinkles behind him.

At this moment, Shu Chang called to question the two of them.

"Sisi, have you set off yet?"

"Get out now."

"Oh, okay, why is it taking so long to do your makeup?" Shu Chang muttered.

Theoretically, non-key actors like Tony Leung Ka-fai could have chosen not to attend, but he still made a special trip from Hong Kong. "I wanted to be the first to know what the finished film is like."

Tony Leung smiled broadly and shook hands with Wu Chen, Ning Hao, and the others.

At 5 p.m. sharp, the red carpet event at Sanlitun Xingchen Cinema.

Both sides were already teeming with people, their shouts and flashes creating a vibrant sea of ​​energy.

Ning Hao, along with members Wu Chen, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, Huang Xuan, and Tony Leung Ka-fai, were the first to step onto the red carpet.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang waved to the crowd. Huang Xuan was visibly nervous, but tried his best to remain calm.

The atmosphere reached a climax, with screams and cheers rising and falling.

On the red carpet, Wang Changtian of Enlight Media led the way, followed by Han Sanping and Cao Guowei.

Cao Guowei and Ning Hao shook hands with a smile: "Haha, I just finished some business with Chairman Han at China Film Group. When I heard about the movie premiere, I shamelessly hogged a seat. You don't mind, do you?"

"No problem, no problem, it's all our fault for being negligent in our work," Ning Hao replied cheerfully.

Han Sanping smiled and waved his hand: "You guys are busy, President Cao and I will go in first."

Ning Hao watched the two leave, having heard some news from the industry. He couldn't help but whisper to Wu Chen, "China Film Group and Sina have reached a strategic cooperation agreement?"

Wu Chen smiled and said, "Well, it looks like it's a done deal. We should also try to get along better with Sina in the future."

"You don't mean you're also collaborating with Sina, do you?" Ning Hao looked at Wu Chen suspiciously.

"Yes, a little."

"."

Guests arrived one after another at the event.

Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun had just stepped onto the red carpet when Lu Yang and Gu Changwei followed closely behind; Mu Deyuan and Tian Zhuangzhuang made a special appearance.

"I came to see how this movie you two are doing. I remember this is your first time acting. The acting professors have always said that you could shine in the acting department. I've come to see if that's true."

Mu Deyuan said with a smile.

Tian Zhuangzhuang scoffed, "Why are you so petty? You're just talking about the acting department, not actually trying to steal it from me."

Everyone laughed.

A little later, Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming walked side by side. As they walked, Zhou Xun couldn't help but mutter complaints and curses to Huang Xiaoming in a low voice:

"Xiaoming, whose side are you on? That Li Binbin is really going too far, taking advantage of Li Xue to force a change from a single-female-lead to a dual-female-lead system."

The female lead role in "The Message" is still being contested, and the cast went over the script again this morning. Huang Xiaoming, as the male lead, is naturally aware of this.

"I"

Huang Xiaoming was at his wit's end. Which side could he take?
I don't want to provoke either of your families, nor can I afford to offend them. I'll side with the Pacific, okay?
Despite inwardly complaining, Huang Xiaoming still comforted her, "Sister Xun, even if I'm on your side, it won't change anything. Now it mainly depends on what President Wang, Director Gao, and Director Chen think."

"That's outrageous! The script was already finalized, how could they change it?"

"Sister Xun, we're almost on the red carpet, watch your facial expressions."

Huang Xiaoming reminded them, and the two quickly put on smiling faces, waved to the media and fans, and then congratulated Wu Chen, Ning Hao, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang.

The impressive lineup of guests left the media on both sides stunned, with flashbulbs going off non-stop throughout the event.

There were also quite a few people from the cinema chain.

Because Starry Sky and Enlight Media did not schedule early screenings for theaters, many theaters sent people over specifically to investigate the film in order to prepare for future screening arrangements.

At the back of the crowd, Lu Zheng from Wanda Group walked over with Jing Tian and Ye Ning from Wanda Cinemas.

"Director Wu, Director Ning, this is the general manager of Wanda Cinemas."

"Director Wu, Director Ning."

"Mr. Ye, I've heard so much about you."

Everyone exchanged pleasantries, and after that, Jing Tian stood aside obediently and said, "Senior brother, I wish you great box office success."

Then, looking at Liu Yifei, he said, "Congratulations to my seniors and fellow filmmakers on the box office success!"

"Hahaha, thank you for your good words."

The atmosphere at the scene was harmonious and joyful.
