Starting with Super Girl, he began to train the Chinese entertainment industry.

Chapter 132: A young person has arrived in the film industry; the pressure is on me now.
"This is the first red flag of the new China, and we cannot afford to make a mistake."

"There's nothing I can do if no one delivers the materials."

……

Can't gamble!
We must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

The only solution now is to find a new 'blocking ball'.

But Liang Changshou (Huang Xiaoming) had been calling for a while, and no one had brought over a 'tube radio'...

The camera zoomed out, giving a panoramic view of everyone in the courtyard, and everyone looked disappointed.

Just then, the background music shifted from sorrow to hope, and the audience seemed to sense what was about to happen.

The camera slowly pans to the railing, where an elderly man, trembling, offers a copper pipe to the courtyard...

Liang Changshou excitedly climbed over the railing and came to the old man. He took the pipe and examined it carefully before sincerely saying, "Grandpa, this is made of copper, we can't use it."

Du Xinghan (Wang Qianyuan) stepped out from behind Liang Changshou, his gaze passing over the two men and looking toward the courtyard gate.

The camera followed him forward, revealing a deeply moving scene: citizens of Beijing brought all sorts of items, and the courtyards and alleys were packed with enthusiastic people...

"Comrade, is this the preparatory office for the ceremony?"

"Uncle, do you think this will come in handy?"

"Comrade, where should we donate these?"

"Comrade, I am a professor in the Department of Chemistry at Tsinghua University. This is the only piece of chromium we have left in our laboratory."

"..."

Du Xinghan walked into the alley without uttering a single line, but his reddened eyes and upturned lips conveyed everything he wanted to say to the audience.

Upon entering the alley, Du Xinghan excitedly shouted, "Everyone, don't push, walk in slowly!"

……

After collecting the materials, Lin Zhiyuan and Liang Changshou began making the blocking ball on site.

At 5:03 a.m., the small steel ball was finished.

at this time.

Only 53 minutes remain until the final acceptance test.

Lin Zhiyuan and his entourage, carrying blocking balls and welding equipment, boarded the patrol team's vehicle and headed straight for the square.

Huang Bo's voice-over also came on.

"Time is running out. The only way is to hurry up and climb the flagpole to replace the blocking device by welding, so that the national flag will not be lost when it is raised, no matter what the wind force is."

However, due to the lockdown, we had to get off the bus when we reached a point two kilometers away from the square.

Lin Zhiyuan ran frantically, carrying the equipment.

"In just a few hours, it will be the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China. There will be 200,000 spectators, 400 million compatriots across the country, and people all over the world watching..."

"At this momentous historical moment, despite being extremely careful, a mistake still occurred. If something had gone wrong when the button was pressed, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"Impossible, and I absolutely cannot allow any problems to arise."

"No matter what, I will ensure that the first national flag of the new China is raised successfully!"

In the scene, Lin Zhiyuan and his companions pass through an alley, run into a gatehouse, and enter a wide square. The morning light is just beginning to break, and on the horizon is a dark blue sky. A red sun is hidden below the horizon, poised to rise in the east.

Faced with this scene, everyone in the theater felt their hearts surge with excitement, their passion burning brightly, which finally culminated in a loud and sustained round of applause.

"it is good!"

"Well done."

"marvelous……"

All the main creators involved in "The Eve" showed genuine smiles.

Become!

Feng Xiaogang wiped his eyes, let out a long sigh, and felt a mix of emotions. "What I lost on one front, I gained on another. Maybe I can do even better without Huayi?"

32-year-old Huang Bo patted 34-year-old Wang Qianyuan on the shoulder. Both of them had been in the industry for many years but only had a breakout year. Wang Qianyuan looked at Huang Bo, and the two of them laughed at the same time.

Huang Xiaoming excitedly grabbed his thigh, "This is awesome! This movie is so enjoyable, the box office should be more than 100 million!"

Shortly after,
Lin Zhiyuan climbed the flagpole and welded the blocking ball, allowing the national flag to be successfully raised and retrieved.

The inspection was passed.

The screen went black, and a line of text appeared:

October 1st, 3 PM

The scene shifts to Huang Bo standing on the TAM tower, where Premier Zhou Enlai's original voice appears: "Now, please welcome Chairman Mao of the Central People's Government to speak!"

Then, the instructor's Hunan dialect resounded throughout the square: "Fellow countrymen, the People's Republic of China, the Central People's Government, is established today!"

……

"The Eve" has come to an end. It is a short story focusing on the people behind the scenes of the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, showing the story of a group of ordinary people who made silent contributions under the torrent of the times.

Having grown accustomed to grand scenes of massive armies, suddenly stepping into the world of ordinary people seems to evoke a stronger sense of empathy, and the emotional impact is even more profound.

As the tide of the times rolls ever forward, who among us isn't just an ordinary person?
That's why none of the main creators, including Feng Xiaogang, Huang Bo, Wang Qianyuan, and Huang Xiaoming, doubted the future prospects of this film.

Some of the media present had already begun writing press releases by hand.

A Sina reporter wrote: "The theme of 'The Eve' moved me deeply, and I, a grown man, was brought to tears several times... The screenwriter's brilliant storytelling, the director's delicate filming techniques, and the actors' superb acting skills together created the classic work 'My People, My Country,' which is absolutely worth buying a ticket to see in the cinema!"

At this moment, everyone in the hall was applauding.

Feng Xiaogang excitedly called for the actors of "The Eve" to stand up. Huang Bo, Huang Xiaoming, and others stood up happily, and the group bowed to the audience and media in the back row.

The other characters on the show were all envious. They envied them for their success.

Shen Qing also stood up and offered her blessings.

Feng Xiaogang hugged Shen Qing and whispered, "Thank you!"

Shen Qing was taken aback, then patted Director Feng on the shoulder: "Director Feng, you're too kind. You did a great job."

Feng Xiaogang felt a warm glow; he rarely experienced this sense of being valued with the Wang brothers. "Damn it, they only see me, old Feng, as a money-making tool..."

Next.

The second chapter is titled "Encounter".

This time, the pressure fell on Li Yang, as well as Zhang Jiayi, Zhang Yi, Gao Yuanyuan, Jing Tian, ​​and others, while Fan Xiaopang and Ning Hao next door were also eagerly waiting.

……

One p.m.

As soon as the premiere banquet ended, reporters and film critics from various media outlets rushed back to their companies or homes to begin writing and refining their film reviews.

Around 2 a.m., Sina published its first article.

[I'm currently in Beijing, just came out of the cinema, and I can guarantee that "My People, My Country" is the most anticipated movie of the year, bar none!]

Netizens commented: "What? Is it that amazing?"

For a while.

Fans of Zhang Liangying, Shen Qing, Gao Yuanyuan, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing, and Hu Jun are all sharing this news.

On platforms like Hupu and Tianya, fans who saw the premiere are already sharing their thoughts after watching the film.

"I can only describe it as breathtaking. This is the best movie I've ever seen in a theater in all these years, bar none!"

"This is the first time I've ever seen a movie made like this."

"Shen Qing's screenwriting is absolutely amazing."

"He filmed five short stories on the same theme. Some of them made me feel emotional, some made me cry silently, some made me feel excited, and some made me laugh out loud..."

I highly recommend everyone to see it!

"Tomorrow, Saturday, 'My People, My Country' will be showing at 8 o'clock. I will take my family to see it."

Some skeptical netizens posted, "If you're going to exaggerate so much, you didn't get paid, did you?"

Some people said, "They don't even bother to think before they start talking. I don't believe it can be as good as Zhang Yimou's 'All-Heroines with Big Boobs' movie. I'm going to save up my money to see 'Curse of the Golden Flower'."

……

Shen Qing was no longer in the mood to rest.

He had a deep conversation with Zhang Liangying about equestrianism for 30 minutes, then pulled up his pants and went out—he just couldn't sleep. He knew the movie would be a hit, but he was still worried.

This feeling is the same as when I released my first album; I was incredibly nervous.

A few phone calls brought Huang Bo, Wang Qianyuan, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Liang, Huang Xuan, and Xiao Jingteng, who were in Beijing, to a place where they had hot pot for a late-night snack.

Around one o'clock, a few people went out. At this time, snowflakes were falling from the sky in Beijing. After discussing it, they went to the house that Huang Bo rented near the Fourth Ring Road.

His house has heating and a mahjong table.

The fight lasted until six in the morning.

Perhaps it's their youth, or perhaps it's the effect of adrenaline, but no one seems tired. Even 34-year-old Wang Qianyuan is full of energy.

Everyone then followed Shen Qing to the breakfast shop downstairs for soy milk.
Not many people like to drink it; most just try it.

Hsiao Ching-teng took a sip and almost threw up his dinner from the night before.

"Hahaha, the douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) assault incident!"

"Boss, why are you selling customers spoiled soy milk?"

"Hey, this is the authentic old Beijing flavor."

However, even though Shen Qing has been in the capital for so long, he hasn't actually seen many locals drink this. Probably less than half of the locals like to drink it, but it's a must-order for tourists.

It's almost eight o'clock.

A row of hooligans sat at the entrance of China Film International Cinema.

Wearing a hat and mask, Shen Qing sat at the entrance of the movie theater, watching people walk into the theater. He couldn't help but laugh when he heard people discussing "My People, My Country".

Huang Bo: "If I become popular again, could I become a top-tier celebrity?"

Wang Qianyuan: "Your acting skills are fine, and you have a great opportunity. I really admire you."

Shen Qing: Stop daydreaming and just focus on filming... Let's go check out the movie theater attendance!

……

the other side.

Zhang Yimou got up early, strolled around the Olympic Building, saw the movie tickets Shen Qing had given him on the table, thought for a moment, picked them up and went out, saying, "Okay, I'll go see how your filming went."

When Zhang Yimou entered the theater, he was deeply moved.

The 350-seat hall was packed with audience members, including not only young people, but also many elderly people and children.

When he finished reading "The Eve", he was deeply moved.

He couldn't quite put his finger on what was so great about it, but he just loved watching it!
It's a very strange feeling.

After watching the segment of "Encounter" starring Zhang Yi, Gao Yuanyuan, and Jing Tian, ​​Zhang Yimou's answer became clear.

As the two-hour film ended, Zhang Yimou stared at the credits and suddenly laughed out loud: "A young man has arrived in the film industry. The pressure is on me now. Can 'Curse of the Golden Flower' withstand the test?"
