Huayu Tianxian: This director is such a hypocrite!

Chapter 118: Premiere Ends, Dinner Party

"Click"

As the theater lights came on, the domestic premiere of "The Legend of the Stone" came to an end.

"Clap clap clap clap————"

Quhe, "6

A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted at the scene, and many movie fans stood up and cheered.

"Thank you, thank you."

Ye Chong stood up, bowed slightly to the fans around him, and then walked across the seats to the front of the stage.

"Welcome, welcome to the creative team behind 'The Legend of the Stone'."

"Slap slap slap—"

The applause continued unabated.

Many film critics present initially disagreed, but after seeing it with their own eyes, they had no choice but to offer their applause.

This movie is very comprehensive, with no single outstanding point, because every aspect of it is excellent.

Whether it's the theme, cinematography, plot, pacing, or acting, everything is above average.

They even had a feeling that this film shouldn't have only won a Silver Lion; it should have won the Gold Lion.

"Thank you, thank you."

On stage, director and producer Ye Chong, producer Chen Zhixi, producer Lan Sheng, and lead actors Duan Yihong, Gong Li, Hou Yong, Qin Hailu, Huang Bo, Li Xiaoran, and Zhang Yu stood in a row.

As for the other actors, Li Xuejian, Li Jianyi, and Zheng Peipei were all unavailable, so they did not come.

"Clap clap clap clap————"

The applause hadn't stopped yet.

Ye Chong gave the host Ning Yi a wink, and the latter immediately realized what was happening and quickly raised his hand to stop the applause.

"Now, let's begin the formal interview."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a powerful male voice rang out from below the stage.

"Ye Gou—"

You're an immortal!

"Ha ha ha ha----"

"Goose, goose, goose, goose—"

Ye Chong suddenly opened his eyes wide and tilted his head in surprise to look at the person, an expression that made everyone present laugh even more.

"What did I do, bro? Why are you yelling at me? I'm so, so wronged!"

"Hahaha----"

"Goose, goose, goose—"

Even Zhang Yimou couldn't help but laugh, and Yi Fei covered her mouth, contributing a series of goose-like quacks.

"Well----"

Meng Hongchen was momentarily stunned by the pressure on his pulse, because the fans around him were all turning to look at him.

No, please don't expose me!

A staff member brought over a microphone, making Meng Hongchen even more embarrassed.

He turned to look at Yu Yile, who was staring intently with his lips pursed, as if he didn't recognize him.

"Uh—" He finally picked up the microphone, hesitated for two seconds, and then said, "I'm just so angry. Why didn't you let Sisi play the younger version of the female lead when she was available?"

"what?"

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!"

"Hey dog, say something!"

The fans were thrilled, never expecting you to ask such a question!

If you had brought up this topic earlier, we wouldn't be sleepy anymore.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Chong glanced at Yi Fei.

Yifei (covering her face): You can't see me, you can't see me!

"Well, I was thinking of casting her in my next movie, since that role would be more suitable." Before the fans could ask any further questions, Ye Chong added, "She was preparing for the filming of 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' at the time and didn't have time."

"But that's preparation, isn't it?"

Meng Hongchen clearly didn't want to let Ye Chong go.

But if an artist doesn't even have this much quick wit, how can they handle tricky interviews?

Soon, normal interviewing resumed at the scene.

The director, producer, and all the actors chatted for a bit.

Soon it was his turn for an on-site interview, and the first person to be interviewed was Zhang Yimou, the biggest star of the day.

On camera, Zhang Yimou took the microphone with a faint, polite smile on his face.

"This is a good movie; in fact, I saw a visual language similar to my own in one of the shots."

"Whoosh—"

The audience erupted in uproar, but Zhang Yimou didn't stop.

"And Kai Ge's colors, and Lao Jia's character close-ups."

"But that doesn't mean Junior Brother Ye plagiarized." Zhang Yimou raised a finger, his eyes becoming much more serious. "Every aspect of Junior Brother's film is above average. Achieving that is very difficult. Even for directors like myself and Jia Yueting, there are areas where they are not good at. Junior Brother has skillfully balanced out the weaknesses, drawing on the strengths of various directors to make this film near perfect. That's truly remarkable!"

"Clap clap clap clap————"

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause, and Ye Chong on stage nodded repeatedly, though he was inwardly grumbling.

Seeing your techniques every day, how could they not be similar?

"Finally—" Zhang Yi spoke again, pausing the applause for a moment: "Finally, I hope my junior brother will persist in innovation, forge his own path, and surpass us old folks."

On stage, Ye Chong quickly put his hands together and said, "Thank you, senior brother."

"Clap clap clap clap————"

Even more enthusiastic applause erupted, almost piercing the dome.

The premiere of "The Legend of the Stone" has ended.

As the banquet began, the celebrities clinked glasses, chatted, and tried to build rapport, which was quite normal.

Half an hour later, backstage at the cinema, Ye Chong leaned against a dressing room door. He was still wearing that sky-blue suit, but he had drunk two glasses of champagne, and his face was a little flushed.

"Ms. Qian, I'm really hungry, can you hurry up and make it?"

"Hate!"

From inside came Yifei's reproachful, childlike voice, along with some rustling sounds.

"You're hungry, but I can't eat anymore. Who knew you'd arrange a second round!"

"?" Ye Chong blinked. "Didn't I say that?"

"You're so annoying!" With the volume rising, the dressing room door clicked open.

Yifei changed into a light yellow coat, wore bright diamond round earrings, black round-toed leather shoes, and sunglasses.

"Still looking? Lead the way!"

"Oh!" Ye Chong came to his senses and reached out to hug her waist, but she nimbly dodged him by stepping back.

What are you doing?

Ye Chong gave a smirk.

"Don't say it's okay!"

'

Yifei glared at him, then raised her little hand and poked Ye Chong's nose: "I'm warning you, Ye Congcong, you're not allowed to make any noises in front of them, understand?"

Ye Chong stared at his slender, white little finger and shook his head slightly.

"I'm talking to you!"

Yi Fei lifted her small foot and stomped on Ye Chong's leather shoe.

"Hiss—" Ye Chong gasped, his face convincingly showing a pained expression. "I know, don't talk nonsense."

"Hmph!" Yifei haughtily tossed her swan-like neck and loosened her legs to walk past him.

"Young lady, take this!"

A large hand reached out and suddenly grabbed Yifei's small waist.

The next moment, a feeling of weightlessness came over her. Before Yifei could even scream, Ye Chong had already lifted her up in his arms.

"You!" Yifei was annoyed. She pointed her little finger at Ye Chong's nose and was about to start lecturing him again.

"Slurp—"

"what!"

Yifei's slender white fingers were stained with saliva. She shook her hands in disgust and wiped them on Ye Chong's body again and again.

"You little man, you've gone too far!"

Ye Chong remained silent, only raising an eyebrow at her: "Who told you not to let me hug you!"

Yifei pouted and glared at him resentfully: "Then if you're so capable, carry me to the restaurant."

"You said it yourself, didn't you?"

"brush"

Ye Chong lifted his foot and walked away.

"?"

Ye Chong scooped her up with both arms, and Yi Fei kicked her feet in the air, but her small hands clung tightly to the little man's neck, as if afraid of falling.

"I was just kidding, just kidding, put me down!"

"I won't let go! I'm going to carry you to the wedding bed."

"Oh no, someone saw us!"
