Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 434 Launch Ceremony

December 4th.

Beijing.

1:30 pm, Kunlun Hotel.

The much-anticipated "Painted Skin" global launch ceremony will be held in an hour. Although it is still early, various news media, guests, and fan support groups have already arrived at the scene.

The first film by the Hong Kong director and chairman of the Academy Awards in Beijing.

This is another movie directed by the 200 million director and the top young actor in mainland China after "Raging Fire".

Naturally it attracted much attention.

There is not much information available at the moment. We only know that Chen Jiashang and Li Luo are working together. The starring cast currently includes Li Luo, Fan Bingbing, and Gao Yuanyuan. The story is derived from the Painted Skin short story in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

This is all the information we have, but it is enough to attract a large number of entertainment media in Beijing.

Never mind the story.

The collaboration between the two great directors was highly anticipated.

Zhang Danfeng and Yunlei, Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo join hands again, which is enough for reporters to write a long report!
Even though four years have passed.

But no one can forget the summer dominated by "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber". To this day, the drama is still being rebroadcast on major TV stations during non-prime time periods, constantly accumulating popularity for the main characters.

"Brother Jun."

Holding the camera equipment, the assistant followed Zhao Jun into the elevator quickly: "You have such a good relationship with Luo Ge, can you reveal some news? In addition to Li Luo, Fan Bingbing and Gao Yuanyuan, which other Hong Kong and Taiwan stars will join "Painted Skin"?"

"How could I know that?"

Zhao Jun carefully arranged the Leica camera hanging on his chest and shook his head, saying, "The crew of Painted Skin kept it a secret, so it's not easy to ask directly about this kind of thing."

"We'll find out later."

He thought about it, and said with expectation: "Luo Ge will definitely give us a surprise."

"Don't worry, Xinlang Entertainment is the specially invited media."

“There will definitely be interview opportunities.”

Zhao Jun's expression at this time was still quite proud. Among all the major portals today, Xin Lang's influence in the field of entertainment media is extraordinary.

Not only did he visit the major film crews.

Even well-known overseas film festivals can be seen with their presence.

While the two were talking, the elevator door opened again. Accompanied by excited cheers, a large group of girls holding cheering signs rushed into the elevator. Zhao Jun was so scared that he quickly protected the Leica camera in his hand and hid in the corner.

His assistant, on the other hand, looked at these young and beautiful girls with great interest.

If it weren’t for the fierce glare from Zhao Jun.

I could hardly resist the urge to strike up a conversation.

The fans at the support club were all holding various neon signs with the word "Luo" on them, in addition to cameras and camcorders of various shapes, some of which were even more advanced than the camera that Zhao Jun treasured.

The assistant couldn't help but secretly marvel at the spending power of Li Luo's fans.

Although I can play star chasing now.

Most conditions are not bad.

But judging from the many fan clubs he has come into contact with, the fighting power of Li Luo's fan club fans is still quite strong, especially in the three cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Yangzhou. When they go out, the scale of their fan club is no less than that of talent show stars.

But the overall feeling is more low-key and restrained, and not as crazy as those Super Girls fans.

It didn't take a while.

The elevator arrives at the corresponding floor.

After a ding sound, the fans in the bridge compartment came out one after another with excited expressions.

I rubbed my nose full of perfume.

Zhao Jun also walked out of the elevator.

Under the guidance of the staff of Xinghuo Film and Television, he and his assistant quickly walked into the venue along the media staff passage. The venue was crowded with guests looking for seats.

The important guests undoubtedly sat in the front row.

In the middle are members of the media.

The densely packed seats at the back are reserved for fans at the fan club.

There was a huge poster above the stage. On it, a bamboo forest was swaying and a dozen dark shadows were moving through the dense forest. The weapons in their hands were glowing coldly. Although they were only blurry figures, they looked murderous.

There is a bamboo village in front.

The village was ablaze with flames, and a group of bared-chested thugs were singing and dancing in front of the bonfire.

Give people the feeling.

It's like a war is about to break out, and there's a solemn feeling of impending storm.

The concept poster is full of martial arts style, giving Zhao Jun a feeling of being blown by a strong wind, stepping on bamboo leaves and slashing wildly with a sword. It seems that the new play will not lack fighting elements, and his heart is full of expectations.

The two Chinese characters "Painted Skin" written in a flamboyant style are particularly eye-catching in the poster, with the words "Global Launch Ceremony" written next to them.

Works by Chen Jiashang.

Production unit: Spark Films, Creative Flea Production Co., Ltd.

That's all the information on the poster.

This is the case with press conferences and premieres in the film and television industry nowadays. They often add the word "global" to their titles, otherwise they would seem not high-end enough.

"Creative flea?"

The assistant's eyes also fell on the production information, and he asked curiously: "Whose sign is this? Luo Ge is really brave enough. There are only two production companies with tens of millions of investments."

"If it were someone else, they would have spent 80 million on a project of this magnitude."

"There must be at least five or six production companies!"

"Director Chen's company."

After a brief thought, Zhao Jun gave the answer the other party wanted, then shook his head and said, "There's nothing we can do. The blockbuster film The Promise scared the investors, and now everyone is extremely cautious about fantasy themes."

"It's just Luo Ge's temper, otherwise who would dare to touch this topic now."

"where"

The assistant hesitated to speak.

"Get to work quickly."

Zhao Jun signaled the other party to come forward and set up the equipment.

He didn't want to discuss this issue. Anyway, he had an inexplicable confidence in Li Luo.

Others can't do it.

Luo Ge will definitely be able to make the movie.

There was a great hustle and bustle in front of the stage.

The backstage of the press conference hall was equally busy.

Lin Yue ran around with a walkie-talkie in hand, checking the next procedures again and again to ensure that all links could proceed in an orderly manner.

The main creators hold the script in their hands, familiar with the issues that may be raised next.

Even though I have memorized them by heart.

But thinking of the big scene that was about to happen, no one dared to take it lightly.

The sound of conversation continued in the corner of the lounge. Looking at the beautiful host in front of him, Li Luo finally added: "Teacher Tu, please control the tone. It must mainly revolve around our movie."

"Anyone who asks about personal matters will be ignored."

"clear."

Tu Jingwei nodded and showed a charming smile: "Mr. Li, just call me Jingwei, I know what to do."

The name is very masculine.

But she looks quite sweet.

This beautiful host has always been the first choice for hosting major award ceremonies, opening ceremonies and premiere ceremonies due to her eloquent speech, curvy figure and sweet face.

Of course these are just superficial reasons.

In the final analysis, it still comes down to his identity as the host of the Chinese film reporting program.

Don’t respect the monk’s face, respect the Buddha’s face.

You still have to pay your respects at the Six Princesses Pier!

Otherwise, Li Luo would definitely choose the two beauties from Guangguang to host the show.

As Tu Jingwei smiled, he also looked curiously at the handsome guy in front of him, the president of a film and television company who had entered the billion-dollar directors club as an actor.

This identity.

It sounds a bit messy.

But it did not affect him at all from establishing his own company at the age of 25.

Founding of a company.

It doesn't sound like a big deal.

But she couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she thought of the fact that the other party had conservatively earned 100 million yuan this year alone. Not to mention that the media were interested in Li Luo's private life.

Even she, who has a boyfriend, is extremely curious about the relationship status of this wealthy bachelor.

The job of host seems very glamorous.

But in terms of income.

In fact, he is just like an 18th-tier actor.

Fortunately, thanks to the convenience of my work, I often get opportunities to host various ceremonies, otherwise even this glamorous outfit would be difficult to maintain.

This is not the most painful thing.

The most painful thing is that because of her job, she can easily come into contact with top people in the industry.

Because of this special identity.

No matter where she went for an interview, she was always treated with the best hospitality: she was picked up and dropped off in million-dollar luxury cars, and could taste famous wines from all over the world at will. Sometimes, she could easily spend a month's salary on one meal.

You can wait until the work is finished.

Until I dragged my tired body back to the simple rental house.

Just like when Cinderella's magic faded away, all the glamorous and luxurious life disappeared along with it.

This is a strong sense of gap.

Enough to destroy any notion of normalcy.

When she first joined the TV station, Jingwei looked down on those wealthy seniors, but after working for a few years, if such an opportunity really came up, she didn't know what choice she would make.

Amidst all these fanciful thoughts, this beautiful host with a very proud figure couldn't help but stare blankly.

Staring blankly at the handsome face in front of me.

Fortunately, a soft cry made her quickly calm down.

Avoid public gaffes.

"Mr. Li."

There were chaotic footsteps, and Lin Yue walked into the lounge with a few people, smiling: "Director Chen, Mr. Wang and Miss Liang Yin are here."

Notice the people coming in.

The people in the lounge stood up and greeted them with smiles.

"Mr. Wang."

Li Luo slightly adjusted his suit and walked forward with a handsome smile: "Sorry, I just needed to discuss something, I should have gone down to greet you, thank you Mr. Wang for your support, thank you very much."

As they got closer, their hands were firmly clasped together.

"Don't be so polite."

Wang Zhongjun laughed, tightened his hand and then released it: "We are all family, it is only natural for us to come and show our support. Congratulations to the crew of Painted Skin for the start of filming and wishing the filming to go smoothly."

There's nothing wrong with saying we're a family.

With the one million shares he just received, Li Luo is now also a shareholder of Huayi.

Although his share of equity is just barely one point.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang."

Chen Jiashang smiled and stepped forward to express his gratitude.

"Old Zhang."

Li Luo looked at Princess Dolphin Sound cheerfully again and blinked quickly: "How are you preparing? I have to say this in advance. If you don't sing well, the value of the red envelope will probably be very limited."

Zhang Liangyin spread her hands and looked helpless amid the laughter, but the smile on her face revealed her mood.

It is a great pleasure to be able to come here and support my idol.

What’s more, considering the attention “Painted Skin” has received.

Even if you can't make money, it's still worth it to sing.

“No red envelope.”

Zhang Jingyin shook her head and happily hugged him: "Brother Luo, just owe me a meal."

Looking at the two people hugging each other.

The man with glasses standing at the back of the crowd grasped his palms unnaturally. It was not because of the courtesy hug, but because of Zhang Jingyin's statement that she didn't want a red envelope. Ever since attending the Academy Awards in April, he felt that this girlfriend was weird.

I no longer confide everything to myself like I used to.

I am also more assertive in making decisions.

This sounds like a good thing, but it is definitely not something he wants to see. He has a vague sense of crisis that he is out of control.

The former boss has arrived.

Fan Bingbing happily gave Wang Zhongjun a polite hug.

Although her departure from Huayi was not very pleasant, she went on very smoothly with the help of Li Luo. After her departure from Huayi was exposed, her former employer basically gave her blessings in interviews.

As a result, the relationship became even more harmonious than before.

With Li Luo's help, Wang Zhongjun moved to the tea table, while Zhang Liangyin went to the dressing room to prepare for the performance on stage.

We were just joking for a while.

Yu Dong and Wang Changdian came together again, and the loud congratulations rang out again.

Several bigwigs gathered at the tea table.

Amidst laughter and joy, sip cup after cup of fragrant tea.

Although they had no idea about "Painted Skin", Li Luo was such an evil guy that several CEOs in Beijing chose to come here at the same time, wanting to know the specific status of the project.

Even if you don’t join during the preparation, it doesn’t mean you can’t join in midway!
As long as the conditions are agreed.

There are few deals in the world that cannot be successful through cooperation.

However, it is too early to talk about entering the market. At least we have to see something exciting first.

At least for now.

Yu Dong seemed a little uncertain.

It can almost be said that the boss of Berna started his career by distributing Hong Kong films. While he has close ties with the Hong Kong circle, he cannot avoid being influenced by it. Basically, most of the films invested by Berna have Hong Kong stars.

And now there is not a single Hong Kong or Taiwan actor in the lounge.

On such an important occasion.

If so, I will definitely come to attend the ceremony.

In other words, except for the behind-the-scenes production team of Li Luo's "Painted Skin".

All actors are from mainland China.

Since the advent of the blockbuster era, few commercial blockbusters dare to do this. Even with Yu Dong's enthusiasm, it feels a bit risky.

Don't say it's him.

After Wang Zhongjun and Wang Changdian recovered, they also felt something was wrong.

But the latter said nothing.

After all, Wang Changdian is just a rookie in the film industry.

"Arlo."

After thanking Li Luo for the tea, Wang Zhongjun asked directly, "Are all the actors from the Painted Skin crew here?"

"Ah."

Li Luo knew what he was referring to, and smiled as he lifted up the cup and gestured to everyone: "It's not that I haven't considered taking the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets into consideration. At that time, Director Chen also found some actors and wanted them to play the second male lead."

"No one wants to play with me!"

"But it doesn't matter. As long as the actor and the role are well matched, I don't really care where they are from."

"Uh?"

Wang Changdian looked around in confusion.

With such a huge investment in "Painted Skin", the director is a well-known director and the leading actor is also very popular.

This kind of play.

Shouldn't you be vying to act?
However, what he was greeted with was Chen Jiashang's helpless shake of his head and Yu Dong and Wang Zhongjun's dumb laughter. This topic that made him feel extremely puzzled was quickly diverted.

Chat room.

Time passed quickly.

At Lin Yue's invitation, these big guys who came to show their support moved to the front desk and sat down.

When walking outside.

Wang Changdian quickened his pace and came to Yu Dong's side, whispering his questions.

Although he was puzzled as to when his friend had become acquainted with Li Luo, and had come all the way to attend the opening ceremony of Painted Skin, Yu Dong still slowed down his pace and explained in a low voice:
"Whether it's TV or movies."

"Team match."

“It’s often a very troublesome problem.”

"For movies, you have to consider the actor's ability to sell well, and for TV series, you have to see if he can withstand the ratings. These are the most basic things. In addition, you have to consider whether you can afford the price based on your own budget."

"Which crew wouldn't want people like Chow Yun Fat, Lee Lian-chieh, and Chen Dao-ming?"

"The problem has to be priced right."

Wang Changdian nodded quickly. Of course he knew this.

"one more."

Yu Dong thought for a moment and continued, "After you have drawn up the framework of the actors according to the budget, you also have to consider the relationship between the actors in private. For example, even the most crazy investors would not think of letting Li Luo work with Zhou Xun."

"Even Wang Zhongjun would never think of bringing the two of them together."

"Do you think you can pick and choose as long as there are no conflicts?"

Seeing Wang Changdian nodded subconsciously.

Yu Dong smiled and waved his hand, slowing down his pace: "Apart from the schedule and whether the script is attractive to the actors, when they choose a role, they will also consider whether the cast is to their liking."

"It's not okay if the actor you're acting opposite is too weak, because then you're just serving as a sedan chair for others."

"too strong."

“That’s not possible either.”

"If you are too good in this play, unless you overtake others later, your level will always be lower. This involves the most fundamental interests of actors."

"Look at Fan Bingbing. Some media outlets are still using the term "maid" to tease her!"

"The king does not see the king."

Wang Changdian realized something and blurted out four words.

"correct."

Yu Dong put his hands in his pockets and walked forward with a smile: "Li Luo is in the second situation now. Who would want to play a supporting role with those male stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan who are similar in age? He is completely suppressed."

"Only if he is a little stronger, strong enough to make others realize the gap."

“Then cooperation will be possible!”

Hear this.

Wang Changdian suddenly realized.

It’s not about money, and it has nothing to do with the script. To put it bluntly, I just don’t want to be a minor.

shook his head.

He and Yu Dong hurried to the press conference.

Together with Wang Zhongjun, the two sat down in the first row at Lin Yue's suggestion.

The press conference was unusually noisy.

The hall was buzzing with various conversations, and the shouts of Li Luo, Fan Bingbing, and Gao Yuanyuan resounded throughout the hall. Fans from several fan clubs would make some noise from time to time, making the scene even more lively.

After waiting patiently for a while, the lights suddenly went out.

The noise and movement.

Then it all calmed down.

Everyone looked at the still-lit stage with various emotions, some nervous, some excited, and some used to it.

As many people watched with bated breath, the lights on the stage gradually dimmed.

Suddenly.

The ethereal and long chanting gushed out from the speakers on all sides like a spring.

Many movie fans quickly got goosebumps.

It was as if I was in an empty valley, listening to a fairy humming in a vague and melodious voice.

"Traveling through the world of mortals ~ joys and sorrows ~ melancholy ~~"

As the song sang, Zhang Jingyin, who was covered by a beam of light, walked slowly onto the stage holding a microphone: "Wandering with you intimately~~~"

Princess Dolphin Sound appeared in a white dress.

There was an uproar at the scene.

Listening to this not-so-familiar song, Luo's fans were so excited that they almost screamed. They could only cover their mouths tightly to prevent themselves from disturbing the singer's soulful singing.

"Piercing through the green hills and desolation everywhere."

Turning back to look at the dimly lit audience, Zhang Jingyin slowly raised one arm: "There is your dream, flying with the fragrance of flowers!!!"

"I am crazy about you in this life, this love is unparalleled in the world!!!"

The Dolphin Voice Princess sang the high notes continuously.

Zhao Jun's scalp tingled when he heard this.

The song "Unparalleled in the World" pulled the entire audience into the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes, as if they saw the brilliant smile of the white-robed Dragon Girl, and as if they also saw the one-armed Yang Guo embracing her affectionately in his arms.

Pulled in.

But it's not just the audience below.

Yang Guo Benguo, who was standing steadily on one side of the stage, also had extremely complicated thoughts in his eyes.

Looking at Li Luo's profile.

Tu Jingwei tightened the microphone in his hand.

The Condor Heroes craze that swept the country last year also involved her. It was a rare masterpiece by Zhang Da Hu Zi that achieved great success in both word-of-mouth and ratings.

With excellent performance.

The handsome Yang Guo before him has firmly established himself as the number one young actor in mainland China.

The other party and Liu Qianqian.

They are simply a perfect couple on the screen.

Even her.

I also watch TV series day and night.

Zhang Jingyin's melodious singing voice made Yang Mi's nose sore and tears welled up in her eyes. Although that was not her debut work, everything she experienced was unforgettable enough.

"The shadow of the sword, the shimmering light of the water."

Listening to the beautiful singing, she couldn't help but take a step closer to Li Luo.

"It's just the past~it's the past!"

Noticing Yang Mi's mood changes, Li Luo ignored the group of people standing beside him and raised his hand to hug the girl. The latter took a deep breath and silently leaned her head on his shoulder.

"I am crazy about you in this life, this love is unparalleled in the world!!!"

Amid Zhang Liangyin's high-pitched voice, all the staff on and off the stage looked quietly at the two people leaning against each other.

There is no gossip, no dissatisfaction or jealousy.

What you see.

They are Yang Guo and Guo Xiang snuggling together.

The song breaks down the barrier between reality and virtuality, and brings the two people who are madly in love with each other to their hearts' content.

The gorgeous lights on the stage.

It is more like the brilliant fireworks filling the sky over Xiangyang City.

As the singing began, the opening performance ended with a melodious hum.

After the audience recovered.

The screams surged onto the stage like waves and only stopped when Zhang Jingyin bowed repeatedly to express her gratitude.

“Thank you Liang Yin for your wonderful performance.”

Tu Jingwei calmed down a bit, swayed his waist and walked onto the stage from in front of Li Luo: "Let's once again give her a warm round of applause to thank her for her passionate singing, thank you Miss Zhang Jingyin."

Amidst the excited applause.

Jane Zhang waved her hand and walked off the stage in small steps.

"Singing so well."

Li Luo held up his palm.

"Crack~"

Princess Dolphin Sound smiled triumphantly, waved her hand and gave him a crisp high-five.
