I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 42 Premiere Part 1
Once the city has been chosen, the next step is to arrange for the actors to go to that city for a promotional tour.

Cheng Sheng discussed it with Han Sanye and they eventually split into five groups. Each person had to visit at least three cities, and some had to visit five. As for whether there would be any overlap, that didn't matter.

Since everyone has different fans, holding an event in the same place allows all fans to participate together.

Cheng Sheng also needs to do roadshows, but he will only go to Beijing and Rao City.

After all, he still needs to write the script, so it's impossible for him to travel with the crew for the entire time.

These days, unlike the future, you can't know everything online, just by swiping an app to find out about celebrities.

Therefore, holding roadshows is very meaningful. It can maximize the number of fans watching the movie, create news buzz, and bring more people who don't know about the movie to the theater.

After discussing it, everyone went back to their respective places.

Cheng Sheng invited everyone back to his new drama as a way of celebrating the start of his new series.

If an ordinary person buys a new house, they will definitely hold a banquet and celebrate in a big way.

But Cheng Sheng found it too much trouble and decided to treat some acquaintances to a meal as a celebration.

When Zeng Li heard that Cheng Sheng had bought a new house, her eyes flickered with emotion.

She wasn't from Beijing, but as a renowned actress, she had some wealth and owned a villa in the capital.

She just doesn't live there often.

Upon arriving at Cheng Shengxin's home, Cheng Sheng told everyone to make themselves at home, while Zeng Li went outside to observe the surroundings.

There are three households on the fifth floor.

Cheng Sheng bought the largest unit.

The other two households each have one less bedroom than Cheng Sheng's.

The middle unit has already been occupied, except for one unit across the street that is still unoccupied, but that unit has already been sold.

Zeng Li saw the property management's phone number at the elevator entrance and took out her phone to dial the number.

"Hello."

Hearing the voice on the phone, Zeng Li said, "Do you still have any houses for sale in your community? Preferably in Building 4."

"I'm sorry, miss, all units in Building 4 have been sold..."

“Wait, I think I saw a unit on the fifth floor of building four that hasn’t been occupied yet. I wonder if you could contact the owner? I’d like to buy it,” Zeng Li said.

"This one……"

Seeing the property management staff hesitate on the other end of the phone, Zeng Li said, "If I buy this unit, I can pay the property management fees for ten years directly."

"Row."

Upon hearing Zeng Li's words, the other party immediately agreed.

"Thank you. Let me know as soon as you have any news." Zeng Li smiled slightly.

Money doesn't matter, as long as I live on the same floor as Cheng Sheng.

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Li returned to the house.

After showing everyone around his new home, Cheng Sheng took them to a nearby hotel for a big meal. Everyone ended up slightly tipsy and was escorted back to Cheng Sheng's house by the hotel staff.

That night, everyone casually spent the night at Cheng Sheng's house.

Then the next day, everyone went to the premiere together.

9 PM on September 30th.

The guests invited by China Film Group began to arrive one after another.

Although this was the premiere of Cheng Sheng's film, the real support came from China Film Group, since domestic film distribution is handled by China Film Group.

Furthermore, only premieres hosted by China Film Group attract big names. If Cheng Sheng were to host his own premiere, not only would he not know anyone, but there would also be no reason for anyone to attend a stranger's movie premiere!

However, Cheng Sheng was still the director of this film, and he was still regarded by Master Han as the person who greeted the guests.

With the help of Zhang Yang and Zeng Li, Cheng Sheng got to know the people he needed to know and welcomed the people he needed to welcome.

In the film and television industry, status matters. Even if an older generation member isn't very famous, Cheng Sheng still has to greet them.

Moreover, almost all the teachers from the Central Academy of Drama came this time. These were all teachers under Cheng Sheng's tutelage, and Cheng Sheng had to personally receive them and, after exchanging pleasantries, personally lead them to their seats in the venue.

Cheng Sheng counted the guests invited by China Film Group. Several top actors from the entertainment industry and many famous directors were present.

Even Zhang Weiping, who didn't get along with Cheng Sheng, came with Zhang Guoshi.

Zhang Weiping criticized Cheng Sheng online. Logically speaking, since he and Cheng Sheng are at odds, it's impossible for Zhang Weiping to attend Cheng Sheng's movie premiere.

It's fine to disrespect Cheng Sheng, but Zhang Weiping wouldn't dare to disrespect Master Han.

Offending China Film Group means you can no longer work in the industry.

Many people from the Beijing Film Academy also came, including the president of the Beijing Film Academy.

Cheng Sheng couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Principal Xu Xiaozhong secretly chatting with the principal of Beijing Film Academy.

The president of Beijing Film Academy had a dark expression the whole time, while President Xu Xiaozhong kept showing off.

Someone with a bad temper would have already attacked Xu Xiaozhong.

Fortunately, everyone involved was cultured, so it didn't come to the point of physical violence.

However, Cheng Sheng could tell that the president of Beijing Film Academy was really angry, and if given the chance, he would definitely retaliate in kind.

The two CEOs from Huayi also came, and they brought Li Shuangbing with them.

Cheng Sheng was very puzzled. Wasn't Feng Dapao currently filming "A World Without Thieves"? Although Li Shuangbing wasn't the main character, she was the second female lead. How could she have time to attend the premiere?
"Hello, Director Cheng."

As soon as Da Wang saw Cheng Sheng, he immediately greeted him.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, thank you for attending this premiere."

Cheng Sheng shook hands with the two Wangs and exchanged a few pleasantries.

"Bingbing, come here, let me introduce you. This is Director Cheng Sheng, winner of the Venice Golden Lion Award."

Xiao Wang pushed Li Shuangbing, who was behind him, in front of Cheng Sheng.

"Hello, Director Cheng, you are my idol, I've wanted to meet you for a long time."

Li Shuangbing said with a smile.

"You're too kind, Ms. Bingbing. Your portrayal of Ling Chuchu in 'Young Justice Bao' was superb. You brought to life a female knight-errant with exceptional lightness skills and a chivalrous spirit, making her a truly memorable character," Cheng Sheng said with a smile.

Cheng Sheng already knew about Li Shuangbing's future from another memory.

Aside from her rumored affair with CEO Wang, the roles she played were indeed quite good, demonstrating her acting skills.

"So you've seen my acting too, Director Cheng. What do you think of my acting?" Li Shuangbing secretly winked at Cheng Sheng and asked.

"Your acting skills are undoubtedly excellent; you're among the top actresses in the entertainment industry."

Cheng Sheng didn't mind flattering the other party; after all, speaking well didn't cost any money.

But he wasn't lying. Although Li Shuangbing's acting skills weren't top-tier, they were generally excellent. She had demonstrated superb acting skills in many film and television works.

In the future, Li Shuangbing will play Liu Rong in "Waiting Alone", Wang Jindi in "The Knot", and Shangguan Jing'er in "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame", among other roles, demonstrating his superb acting skills through different styles of characters.

However, compared with other large-flowered plants of the same period, it always lagged behind.

Compared to actors like Xu Jinglei, Fan Shuangbing, Zhang Ziyi, and Zhou Xun, Li Shuangbing's acting skills are somewhat mediocre, lacking distinctive personal characteristics and iconic roles.
