Huayu: A Commercial Director

Chapter 333 Tian Tian's Boyfriend

"Back then you insisted on morally blackmailing him, and now look what's happened, the film festival is still going on, and you, the host, have come to the capital to attend someone else's premiere."

When Han Sanping saw Ren Zhonglun, he smiled and said to him.

Ren Zhonglun didn't take Han Sanping's teasing seriously; he had also come all the way from Shanghai to attend the premiere.

After all, these are Chen Shouzhe's films. Although one of them wasn't directed by him personally, it was still produced using his script and investment.

Looking back, he still felt he needed to repair his relationship with Chen Shouzhe. Chen Shouzhe didn't owe Shanghai Film Group anything. Unlike China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group hadn't shown him any kindness or support back then.

China Film Group can still play the emotional card, but Shanghai Film Group has no cards to play.

As for the investment in The Wandering Earth, it was obtained by Shanghai Film Group. Chen Shouzhe's films are never short of investment.

When Han Sanping, a long-time rival, saw his former opponent, he couldn't help but make a joke.

“In business, there are no permanent enemies, only interests. How could I not come to such a grand occasion?” Ren Zhonglun said.

"Heh, I heard he originally planned to hold the premiere at the Shanghai International Film Festival." Han Sanping stabbed Ren Zhonglun in the back again.

If that's the case, the Shanghai International Film Festival would definitely be much larger, and it certainly wouldn't be like it is today, with almost everyone gone and having to rush back today or tomorrow.

Many people were gossiping about Chen Shou, thinking that he was making people in the film industry run around, and that it would have been much better to hold the premiere in Shanghai, which would have been more convenient for everyone.

If they voiced their thoughts, Chen Shouzhe would definitely retort, "I didn't invite you to participate; you came of your own accord."

While other people's premieres are by invitation, Chen Shouzhe's movie premieres are almost always attended by people eager to come. He doesn't need to send out any invitations at all; he can only send out a portion of them.

On the contrary, Emperor Entertainment Group released a lot of promotional materials for the film. This 30% share, along with the upcoming sequel, made Yang Shoucheng take it seriously.

"It's about to start, two movies, they really know how to have fun," Ren Zhonglun said, looking at the stage.

Chen Shouzhe, along with Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei, spoke on stage for a while before "Infernal Affairs" was played.

After the movie ended, the audience fell silent for a moment, followed by thunderous applause.

The two actors delivered a spectacular acting showdown, perfectly capturing the inner turmoil of their characters.

Chen Shou sat next to Liu Dehua, and the two chatted for a while while watching the movie.

"It's settled then, Brother Hua," Chen Shou said with a smile.

"Thank you, Director Chen. I will definitely not let you down," Liu Dehua said gratefully to Chen Shouzhe.

Those nearby who heard what Liu Dehua said couldn't help but look at them. Liang Chaowei, who was sitting very close, heard the most clearly. He heard the words "The Wandering Earth" in their conversation.

After watching "Infernal Affairs," Chen Shouzhe brought his men back on stage, this time including Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon, two international superstars.

"Everyone has just finished watching Infernal Affairs, and next up is Infernal Walker. The script is very similar to Infernal Affairs, but the acting in the film will definitely be a feast for the eyes. Today, four Best Actor winners are competing on the same stage, and I believe they will create a different kind of spark. Both films will be released globally at the same time. I am aiming for this year's Academy Awards for Infernal Walker. I believe Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon will bring you a unique visual feast."

After Chen Shouzhe finished speaking, Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon also said a few words. They first praised "Infernal Affairs," then praised how delicious the food in China was, and then expressed their expectations for Chen Shouzhe.

He hopes to win his second Academy Award and also hopes to achieve higher box office returns. You know, he is only getting a share of the box office revenue for this film, so he is putting in a lot of effort in promotion.

Matt Damon did the same, but he didn't mention "The Great Wall" because otherwise, the expressions of La Dong and Zhang Yimou present would not have been very pleasant. On the contrary, Tian Tian below had a very sweet smile.

I watched "Infernal Affairs" and then "The Departed." There are definitely differences, but the scripts are largely the same; the main difference lies in the background, details, and acting. Finally, Chen Shouzhe invited all four actors onto the stage, creating a classic photo. The four men looked at each other, different people portraying the same life. One can only say that Chen Shouzhe is very clever, coming up with this method of filming two versions of the same play.

The film's promotion was undoubtedly successful, and many fans both at home and abroad bought into it, eager to see who would win among the four Best Actor winners.

The media also gave it extensive coverage, and Chen Shouzhe had already stated that it was a film prepared to compete for an Oscar.

As for "Infernal Affairs," because of Chan Sau-cheung, the Hong Kong Film Awards were full of criticism of him.

There was a banquet after the premiere. After watching the movie, people naturally had to socialize. Quite a few foreign film companies attended, including Warner Bros., Legendary, Columbia, and Lionsgate.

These people have undoubtedly become the targets of domestic capital investment; otherwise, why would they be so eager to come and participate?

"Senior." Tian Tian, ​​dressed in a formal gown, came over with a wine glass, accompanied by a young man.

"Long time no see, Tiantian." Chen Shou raised his glass and clinked it with hers, then looked at the young man next to her, the national champion, her boyfriend whom she announced in March of this year.

Considering Tian Tian's family background, being a champion who brings glory to the country might be a more suitable title for her.

Previously, Lu Zheng had tried to matchmake Chen Shouzhe and Tian Tian. They were a perfect match, with Chen Shouzhe being both talented and good-looking, and Tian Tian having a great family background, as well as a beautiful appearance and personality.

Many people think the two are a good match and that their relationship is a powerful combination. Even Han Sanping thinks they are a perfect match.

Unfortunately, Chen Shou already had three women, and Tian Tian would not allow that to happen to her, so the two always respected each other.

"Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Jike," Tiantian said with a smile.

“You don’t need to introduce me, I know you. You are the pride of our country. Hello, Chen Shouzhe.” Chen Shouzhe extended his hand to Zhang Jike.

Zhang Jike reached out and shook hands with him, then looked Chen Shouzhe up and down.

All three are the same age, born in 88.

Chen Shouzhe was born in January, Zhang Jike in February, and Tian Tian in July.

Chen Shou learned a lot about Zhang Jike through Tian Tian. This man was a big shot in the entertainment industry that Chen was preparing to enter. If they had a good relationship, they would not lack projects in the future.

"Hello Director Chen, I am Zhang Jike."

"Long time no see, Matt," Tian Tian greeted Matt.

"Sally, it's been a long time." Matt and Tian Tian lightly clinked their glasses.

"You actually have a boyfriend? I thought you were Chen's girlfriend," Matt muttered under his breath. He genuinely thought Tian Tian was a good match for Chen Shou.

“No, this is my boyfriend.” Tian Tian pointed to Zhang Jike next to her.

"Tian Tian's boyfriend is a world champion," Chen Shou interjected. "That Matt is really something, trying to get him and Tian Tian together."

Matt looked embarrassed when he saw that her boyfriend was there too.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was my fault."
