I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 44 Premiere Part 3
Damn it, I'm supposed to be one of the most beautiful women in the Central Academy of Drama in two hundred years, what does that look mean?
Do you deny your own beauty?

At this moment, Zeng Li felt a pang of sadness and even more doubted Cheng Sheng's preferences.

Looking at Wang Jinhua and Fan Shuangbing, Cheng Sheng thought to himself: "One Bingbing left, and another Bingbing came. And what's with Huayi? Why are they sending two groups of people?"
and many more.

Could it be that Wang Jinhua and the two Wangs have already fallen out?
According to what she knows about the future, it seems that Wang Jinhua will leave Huayi next year and start her own business, establishing Orange Sky Entertainment.

Moreover, when Wang Jinhua left, she took a large number of Huayi artists with her, which directly caused a major blow to Huayi's vitality, and the artists almost died out, leading to a period of decline for Huayi.

In the next decade or so, a behemoth began to run into financial difficulties.

It seems Wang Jinhua is quite a ruthless woman; she even tricked both the big and small bosses of the Wang family before she left.

"It is truly an honor for me that Sister Hua could come."

Cheng Sheng shook hands with Wang Jinhua.

"Director Cheng, you flatter me. Actually, I've wanted to meet someone as young and talented as you for a long time," Wang Jinhua said with a smile.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries. It must be said that Wang Jinhua is very good at speaking, no wonder she is known as the number one agent in China.

After a few sentences, even Cheng Sheng developed a liking for Wang Jinhua.

"Director Cheng, when you start filming your next movie, you'll have to take care of Bingbing. She's incredibly hardworking and does all her own stunts."

Wang Jinhua showered Fan Shuangbing with praise.

Cheng Sheng smiled; he knew Fan Shuangbing all too well.

The "dragon robe" that shocked Cannes in 2010.

"I don't need to marry into a wealthy family, I am a wealthy family."

This domineering declaration, paired with the dragon robe look, successfully enabled Fan Shuangbing to complete a glamorous transformation from a "pretty face" to "Fan Ye" (Master Fan).

Every year since then, Ke Wen has created stunning looks for Fan Shuangbing on the red carpet: crane dress, porcelain doll, flower fairy... These classic looks not only made Fan Shuangbing famous, but also made Ke Wen famous in the fashion world.

Unfortunately, the tax scandal broke out, and Fan Shuangbing fell from grace and slowly disappeared from the public eye.

Fan Shuangbing is arguably the most inspirational figure in the entertainment industry.

From an unknown nobody to the wildly popular "Fan Ye" (a nickname for Fan Bingbing), if she hadn't made a mistake, there would probably only be a handful of people in the Chinese entertainment industry who could have surpassed her in popularity.

Pity!
It's really hard to find a female star in the industry who is beautiful, talented, and has good looks.

"Definitely, definitely. Teacher Fan's acting skills are excellent. If there's a suitable role, we'll definitely choose her," Cheng Sheng replied with a smile.

If Cheng Sheng were to film a movie about Wu Zetian, he would definitely cast Fan Shuangbing, since her portrayal of Wu Zetian is quite good.

In terms of image and style, Fan Shuangbing, known for her powerful aura, is a perfect fit for the temperament of Wu Zetian.

She successfully portrayed Wu Zetian's decisiveness and tenderness, especially in the political intrigue scenes, such as the dramatic performance of the plot where she "strangled her daughter and framed Empress Wang".

However, Fan Shuangbing's acting was too superficial. When portraying Wu Zetian, he focused on her outward domineering presence but failed to delve into her political skills and wisdom as a politician, as well as her ruthless side as an emperor. He also did not handle the emotions very well.

This is also Fan Shuangbing's weakness.

However, if Fan Shuangbing had the advantage of being there in person, her performance might have been even more fitting.

"Thank you, Director Cheng."

Because there were reporters all around, Fan Shuangbing, although she really wanted to flirt with Cheng Sheng, still had to maintain her public image and thanked him subtly.

"Sister Hua, Teacher Fan, we'll talk again when we have time. I'll have Sister Li take you inside; I have other things to do." Cheng Sheng said to Wang Jinhua and Fan Shuangbing as someone approached him, then asked Zeng Li to lead the two inside.

After entering the cinema with Zeng Li, Zeng Li arranged for the two of them to sit in the front row before leaving.

"Sister Hua, look over there!" Fan Shuangbing whispered.

Wang Jinhua looked up in the direction Fan Shuangbing was pointing and saw that not far away, the two bosses, Wang and Li Shuangbing, were sitting.

"They arrived even earlier than us."

She wasn't curious at all that the two Wangs always came, since China Film Group had invited them before.

"Sister Hua, do you think Director Cheng has taken a liking to me?" Fan Shuangbing asked in a low voice.

"Don't rush, this is only our first meeting. There's plenty of time to build a relationship. You have to trust me. Since you're with me, I'll definitely do everything I can to make you famous." Wang Jinhua knew what Fan Shuangbing meant.

"Ah."

Fan Shuangbing responded with a fleeting glance, but she had her own thoughts in mind.

Although Sister Hua said she wanted to make her famous, after being replaced in "My Fair Princess", she no longer believed everything anyone said.

If you want something, it's best to strive for it yourself.

Relying on others might lead to a situation like "Princess Pearl," where everyone signed contracts, but the lead actress turned into a maid.

When the time came and no guests arrived, Cheng Sheng and several of the film's main actors entered the theater and then went up on stage.

The pre-premiere procedures are being carried out.

We chatted, told jokes, and shared stories from the filming process.

These are the standard procedures for premieres, providing material specifically for media professionals to write news articles.

At many movie premieres, directors and actors will play the victim, talking about the difficulties they encountered during filming, as well as the good deeds the main actors did during filming, such as bringing lunch boxes to extras and helping extras adapt to their roles.

All of this is to create a persona and generate hype for the actors.

These are basically the actors' forte, after all, the 'script' has already been written, and they just need to follow along and 'act', since no one exposes their personas anyway.

Through their 'performances,' these actors can boost their popularity, which in turn generates interest in the film, drawing fans into the theaters to support their idols.

Another way is to enhance personal charm. By cultivating a unique and distinctive image in public or on social media, you can attract more fans.

Once you have a lot of fans, it means your net worth has increased, and you'll be offered more advertising and endorsement opportunities.

Therefore, actors will memorize their 'scripts' beforehand at the premiere.

offstage.

Zhang Weiping and Zhang Guoshi sat in the second row, while the row in front of them consisted of teachers and the principal of the Central Academy of Drama, as well as Han Sanye and others.

Watching Cheng Sheng talk eloquently on stage, recounting funny stories from the filming period, Zhang Weiping muttered sarcastically, "This kid is really getting carried away. I don't think he'll go far as a director in the future."

With a smile on his face, Zhang Guoshi glanced at the old man sitting next to Master Han in the first row, and was quite shocked.

He recognized the old man.

When filming the movie "Hero", he visited the National Museum of China, searched for historical materials about the Qin Dynasty, and also talked with the director of the National Museum of China.
