This night.

After greeting Sun Li on the phone, Cao Jun sneaked into her room.

There is an old saying that goes, once you are born, you will become familiar twice, and you will become a close friend three times or four times.

Cao Jun came here mainly to say goodbye to Sun Li.

Although Cao Jun didn't want to leave the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" so soon, he had to leave because of trivial matters.

Knowing that Cao Jun was leaving tomorrow, Sun Li felt very sad.

Sun Li snuggled into Cao Jun's arms and asked reluctantly: "Why did you leave so soon?"

Cao Jun stroked Sun Li's long hair and replied: "There are too many things to do in September, so I have to leave."

Sun Li also knew that there was no way to save her, so she could only choose to accept this reality.

Cao Jun saw that Sun Li was unhappy, and then said, "Don't be sad. I'll come back to see you when I'm done."

Sun Li curled her lips: "When can you come back?"

Cao Jun thought for a while and replied: "Strive for it before the end of the month."

Sun Li said: "Okay, then I'll wait for you on the set."

Thinking of leaving the crew tomorrow, Cao Jun was not idle. He communicated with Sun Li for two or three hours until one o'clock in the morning, and then stopped.

September 3rd, evening.

Purple Jade Villa, Cao Mansion.

It is said that Zeng Li has been busy preparing for a concert recently. After receiving support from sponsors, it is now basically confirmed that he will hold a concert at the Wukesong Stadium in Beijing in late October.

Cao Jun heard the good news and asked with a smile: "Li Mei, this is your first concert in your life, do you want to invite me to be a guest?"

Zeng Li was not polite, smiled and nodded: "Well, of course, I have to invite you, you can't refuse,"

Cao Jun said readily: "Don't worry, I will definitely participate."

Zeng Li asked with great interest: "What song will we sing together then?"

Without thinking, Cao Jun blurted out: "How about singing "Because of Love"?"

Zeng Li looked embarrassed and said, "This song is too difficult to sing. I'm afraid I won't be able to sing it."

Cao Jun encouraged: "You can do it, you have to believe in yourself, don't belittle yourself, you will get better with more practice,"

"Huang Fei is still out of tune. What's the big deal? People who like her still like her. For people who don't like her, no matter how good she sings, it won't change anything..."

After listening to Cao Jun's words, Zeng Li was also moved. He wanted to challenge himself and said, "Then you should take some time to rehearse with me."

Cao Jun replied: "No problem, you can just prepare for the concert in peace,"

"My dear, you are so kind," Zeng Li said and kissed Cao Jun on the cheek.

Afterwards, another fierce battle was inevitable.

It is worth mentioning that only 40% of Zeng Li’s concert tickets were sold compared with the first week of sales.

Although this ticket score is already better than most singers, there is still a big gap compared with king-level singers like Cao Jun and Jay Chou.

However, as soon as the news came out that Cao Jun would be a guest, the tickets for Zeng Li's concert were sold out in less than two days.

Zeng Li originally didn't want to reveal the explosive news so soon, but in order to prevent the organizer who supported him from losing money, he still spread the news.

Cao Jun didn't say anything about Zeng Li's decision. She had been with him for so many years and had always been the woman behind him. She could still hide her love affair so well. It could be said that she had done her best. Being favored by her own woman, she herself

It's just a matter of course.

September 13th, evening.

The latest movie of the year, "Love at the Hawthorn Tree", directed by the famous director Zhang Yimou and co-starring Cao Jun and Bai Lu, held a premiere ceremony at the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference auditorium in Beijing.

Zhang Yimou and producer Zhang Weiping attended with the main actors of "Hawthorn Tree" Cao Jun, Bai Lu, Xi Meijuan, Li Xuejian, Sarina, Jiang Ruijia and others.

The theme of this premiere celebration is "Hawthorn blossoms, pure love is eternal", allowing the audience to appreciate the beauty of pure love in the film with the creators in a warm atmosphere.

On-site, from the selection of one-in-a-million female actors to the high confidentiality of the crew during filming, it whetted the audience's appetite. Bailu, who played Jingqiu, made her first public appearance and became the focus of everyone's attention.

Bai Lu believes that this film is worthy of being "the cleanest love story in history." She said: "Such a love story of mutual giving, asking for nothing in return, and no regrets, although it does not represent the view of love of that era, it is also an example of the love story of that era.

The epitome of.”

"I hope that our film can evoke a resonance with people of that era. I hope that today's young people can understand the preciousness and eternity of love, believe in true love, and be willing to pay for it and persevere."

"Love at the Hawthorn Tree", which carries the banner of "pureness" and "love", is different from Zhang Yimou's previous commercial blockbusters. There are no bright red or purple tones in the film, and there are no martial arts scenes of fighting and killing. It only uses quiet shots.

, tells a unique love story in the 1970s.

Zhang Yimou said in an interview, "I was moved after seeing this script by chance. Later, I also shot the movie from the perspective of this novel, without much change. It felt like a movie from the 1970s, without too much.

The techniques are all based on real feelings.”

"I also come from that era. Looking back at that time, there is always a lot of innocence, a lot of cleanliness, and a lot of simplicity on people's faces. I hope to shoot an innocent type and a eloquent scene, hoping to convey a

A long-lost innocence.”

When asked whether this treatment was done specifically to highlight "pure love", Zhang Yimou said: "I personally think that the original novel's description of the sexual contact between Lao San and Jing Qiu is quite explicit."

Zhang Yimou explained: "Chinese film and television creation is limited in this aspect, with its current situation and system. As a film and television director, he does not want to make breakthroughs or challenges in this aspect. Films should find the most appropriate way to express it.

"

Zhang Yimou then humorously gave an example, just like creating a novel. If you ask the author what the story of the characters is, he will tell you that the characters will write their own stories in his writing.

"The same goes for directors. After filming, they will follow the actors. I think the cuteness of the male and female protagonists shown in the movie is just right."

Then, in an interview, Cao Jun also said: "I like this story very much, and I also like that era very much. I don't know how to describe that innocent feeling. Everyone will understand it after watching the movie."

It is worth mentioning that Feng Xiaogang's "Tangshan Earthquake" has just exceeded 660 million in box office, fulfilling his previous promise of 500 million in box office.

As a domestic director as famous as Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou's box office expectations for "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" have naturally become a major concern for reporters.

In this regard, Zhang Yimou expressed very indifferently: "Of course I hope that the box office will be as big as possible, but I am not an expert in this field, so I will not predict the box office."

He said that as a director, as long as he prevents investors from losing money and allows the market to have a virtuous cycle, he doesn't really care about how big the returns are and how high the box office is.

When someone asked him to comment on Feng Xiaogang's prediction of the box office every time a new film is released, Zhang Yimou smiled and said: "That's his habit. I don't have this habit."

The reporters saw that Zhang Yimou had been doing Tai Chi and refused to answer the question directly, so they turned to the leading actor Cao Jun.
