Chinese entertainment director: I can wholesale Best Actress awards.

"Brother Lu Chen, congratulations on wrapping up filming." Jing Tian handed over the flowers in her hand.

I specifically picked this out at the flower shop before I came.

And Jing Tian.

I also spent a few days on the set of "Let the Bullets Fly".

The actual filming time was only about one minute.

I stayed a few more days to get more familiar with the film industry.

The crew of "Let the Bullets Fly".

It's very different from other film crews.

The atmosphere was great.

The actors thoroughly enjoyed their performance.

There was no sign of hardship or fatigue, only a feeling of wanting more from the performance.

Jing Tian could tell from these details how amazing Lu Chen was at designing movie characters.

"Lu Chen, congratulations on wrapping up filming." Yang Mi also stepped forward to congratulate him, wishing she had bought a bouquet of flowers before coming.

Lu Chen took the flowers from Jing Tian and joked, "You two, are you here to crash the wrap party?"

"What's wrong, Brother Lu Chen? You're not welcoming me?" Jing Tian playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Welcome, of course you're welcome." Lu Chen handed the flowers to his assistant, then looked at the dazed Yang Mi. "What are you still standing there for? Aren't you going to the wrap party?"

"Go, go." Yang Mi came to her senses and quickly went over.

For a fleeting moment just now.

I feel like I'm the third wheel between Lu Chen and Jing Tian.

I've become a complete outsider.

Because they discovered that the relationship between Xixi and Lu Chen was no longer just that of friends.

Sisi even went to Guangdong to visit him on set.

That's way too enthusiastic.

There are also actresses around Lu Chen.

There seems to be something unusual about their relationship.

It seems like I'm all alone now.

I feel like I'm being excluded.

"Director Lu, congratulations on adding another excellent masterpiece to your collection." Wang Chengtian congratulated Lu Chen as he approached.

Li Shaohong also offered words of congratulations.

Regarding the filming.

Wang Chengtian and Tao Hong had both heard of it.

The actors performed exceptionally well, and the atmosphere on set was great.

The movie quality can't be too bad.

Not to mention that Lu Chen has already proven his ability with "Shoplifters".

Art films can all be box office hits.

But commercial films must reach a higher level.

"Xiao Chen, filming has wrapped up. What are your plans for the film's release?" Han Sanping asked from the back seat of the car, having already left the filming location.

Xiao Chen's second movie.

I do not plan to participate in international film festivals.

Han Sanping felt that he could participate in the film festival.

As the youngest director to win the Palme d'Or, Xiao Chen has made a name for himself in the European film industry, giving him an advantage.

However, he didn't voice his suggestion.

I understand Xiao Chen's idea of ​​skipping the film festival and going straight to the release.

They wanted to release it during the Lunar New Year holiday season, a prime time, to achieve the highest box office.

If I were to participate in a film festival, it would definitely have to be one of the three major international film festivals, which is next year.

Starry Night Pictures invested 50 million yuan in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly," which is essentially all the overseas profits from "Shoplifters" that they poured into it. Xiao Chen was eager to recoup his investment.

This is to prepare for the next move of Starry Night Pictures.

In Xiao Chen's mind, he wants to build Starry Sky Pictures into one of the most influential film companies.

Xiao Chen's dream.

Han Sanping was very supportive.

"Mainland audiences' expectations for Chinese blockbusters have decreased significantly compared to before, so I plan to hold small-scale previews before the full release." The 2005 film "The Promise" had an investment of 300 million yuan but a box office of less than 200 million yuan, which disappointed audiences.

And then there's "The Banquet," which will be released later this month. It's a 120 million yuan investment, Feng Xiaogang's first film with an investment of over 100 million yuan, and Huayi Brothers has poured all their efforts into it.

It received neither critical acclaim nor commercial success.

The box office performance was roughly the same as the investment; in terms of box office, it was an absolute failure.

The consecutive blockbuster films directed by two prominent mainland directors have disappointed audiences, causing them to lose faith in blockbuster films.

Lu Chen, thinking about box office success, decided to hold a preview screening.

This also reflects absolute confidence in the film.

A high-quality film can benefit from early screenings, leading to a surge in box office revenue.

If the quality is poor, it's like burying the movie prematurely.

"That's a good idea. Previews can be a great boost for high-quality films," Han Sanping said confidently. "As for Xiao Chen, everyone has high expectations for your new work. With 'Shoplifters' as a precedent, audiences have genuine confidence in the quality of your film."

Of course, this is based on the premise that every part is of high quality.

If the quality of the two connected works is poor, then it's a different story.

"Uncle, that's true, but there's a strong competitor this year."

"Let the Bullets Fly" was released during the Lunar New Year holiday season.

And this year's Lunar New Year film season.

There's also a blockbuster movie.

"Curse of the Golden Flower" directed by Zhang Yingmou.

Another collaboration with Gong Li.

Chow Yun-fat, a famous Hong Kong film star.

With Jay Chou, the most popular singer in the music scene.

It has garnered a great deal of attention.

"Xiao Chen, don't worry about that. Your work won't be suppressed in terms of screenings. Besides, it doesn't have to be on different days during the same period. As long as there's a half-month gap in between, the dates will be staggered." Han Sanping said with anticipation in his eyes, "This year, if you can beat Feng Xiaogang's 'The Banquet' and Zhang Yingmou's 'Curse of the Golden Flower,' Xiao Chen, no one will be able to question your title as a renowned director."

A film called "Shoplifters".

Xiaochen is also considered a famous director.

After all, the movie has broken too many records.

The box office was a huge success, and they won awards left and right.

But this is his only representative work.

No matter how high the quality of the works is, the quantity is too small.

If "Let the Bullets Fly" is both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, no one can question Xiao Chen's status as a renowned director.

"Uncle, with you here, I have confidence."

In terms of box office, I can't guarantee it will beat "Curse of the Golden Flower", but it will definitely beat "The Banquet".

"It's good that you have confidence, and keep moving forward. Your uncle is your strongest support." Han Sanping patted Lu Chen, his eyes full of affirmation. This nephew of his is making him more and more proud.

Reporters from well-known domestic media outlets have all come over.

Some of these media outlets came on their own initiative, while others were arranged by Han Sanping.

The purpose was to generate buzz for "Let the Bullets Fly".

Even well-known film critics from Beiping were invited to attend the preview screening of "Let the Bullets Fly".

Besides the media and well-known film critics.

The preview screenings of "Let the Bullets Fly" were also open to the general public.

But today is a home game.

There were no ordinary viewers.

It will be available tomorrow.

In addition, first-tier cities such as Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou all have a cinema that screened "Let the Bullets Fly".

These cinemas are all under the China Film Group.

During the screening, ordinary viewers are not allowed to bring any electronic devices into the theater.

This is to prevent people from secretly filming and creating pirated copies that are then circulated online.

Last year during the Lunar New Year season, the box office failure of "The Promise" was also due to the piracy of the film. One netizen even used the pirated version to edit a short film called "A Bloodbath Caused by a Steamed Bun," which dealt a heavy blow to the already poor reputation of "The Promise," causing its reputation to completely collapse.

Han Sanping will not allow such a thing to happen; he must strictly prevent piracy during the preview screening period.
