Chapter 693 This combination is a bit unique(1/2)
"Crazy Racing" is a movie produced by Bright Times, so the premiere will naturally be held at the Bright Times Cinema.
Bright Times currently has five cinemas in Beijing, the largest and most luxurious of which is located in the bustling commercial street area of Wangfujing Street.
After two years of operation, this large theater has vaguely played an iconic role. Many film producers have held premieres in this theater, and it has also hosted many large-scale commercial and artistic activities.
Obviously, the brand effect of Brilliant Era is not limited to online works, offline physical theaters are also subtly playing its promotional role.
The premiere time is set at 7 pm, and there will be two screenings until 11 pm. The first one is for guests, media and fans to participate, and the second one is for pure audiences who buy tickets in advance to watch the movie.
"Crazy Racer" is not a blockbuster, and there are no big names in the cast. Compared with most movies that only have one premiere, "Crazy Racer" can have two premieres, which is very good, like those directed by famous directors.
For a blockbuster film to have a one-day premiere, Ning Hao is currently not qualified to do so.
Some of the big names in the industry were invited, and they were all there for the sake of Bright Times Media.
As the sun sets, people come and go at the entrance of the theater, and a large number of movie fans enter the theater.
In the VIP channel on the side of the theater, industry insiders and celebrities arrived as scheduled.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei stayed at home for a day, and the couple had a continuous discussion about the drama. They were completely obsessed with their story, and they felt like they were intoxicated.
The two of them didn't forget the premiere, and hurried over at sunset.
"Chu Xuan, art concubine, congratulations, when will we have the wedding banquet?"
"Brother Xiao Ming, I haven't seen you for a long time. I will send you an invitation when the time comes. Please give me a favor."
"Send me an invitation?"
"Of course I won't forget Sister Xun."
Huang Xiaoming and Zou Xun are now the two pillars of Huayi Brothers. I wonder if the big and small kings were affected by the incident when Wang Jinhua took people away. Before the company prepared for IPO, they actually gave Huang Xiaoming and Zou Xun shares.
The two of them suddenly became direct descendants of Huayi. Although they did not become capital, they were not comparable to ordinary actors.
When these two were competing with the couple for the male and female lead in "The Condor", they even said that they would first go to Huayi and wait for a few years to wait for Bright Times to develop before changing jobs. Now it seems that this idea has come to nothing.
Huang Xiaoming was accompanied by a woman whom Liu Yifei didn't recognize, but Chu Xuan knew her as Yang Ying.
It seems that Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying are already together.
It also seems that Huang Xiaoming's career will start to decline and fall into a trough soon. It all depends on when Huang Xiaoming will break out of the "famous" scene.
After greeting the two of them, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also exchanged a few words with artists in the industry along the way.
Zhang Hanyu, Sun Honglei, Guo Tao, Xu Zheng, Tao Hong... No matter they are familiar with each other or not, they always say hello when they meet.
In front of the largest 1,000-seat screening room on the third floor, Huang Bo acted as a greeter, warmly greeting guests with a smile.
When he saw Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei approaching, the smile on his face became even thicker, as if this smile came from his heart.
"Lao Chu, Xixi, sign." He handed over two pens.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei took over the pen and signed their artistic names on the large promotional poster.
After returning the pen, Chu Xuan said: "Brother Bo, when you're done, come over to the seafood barbecue across the street and invite Ning Hao to join us. Let's have a midnight snack."
"Ah?" Huang Bo was slightly surprised, wondering what kind of medicine Chu Xuan was selling in his gourd.
"Remember, Brother Bo, it's a big deal." Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows a few times, indicating that this matter was very important.
Huang Bo smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you go in first and I won't say hello. I'll ask Ning Hao to come over after you're done."
Although he was curious about what the big deal was for this couple, things were busy at the moment, so he didn't make much guesses or say much. He would naturally know what it was when the time came.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei walked into the screening hall and walked towards the guest seating area.
"Chu Xuan, Qian Qian." Someone called from behind.
The couple turned around to see Wang Zhengyu, the chairman of Star Culture, which is the main producer of variety shows.
"Brother Wang." The two greeted each other.
"The second season of "I Am an Actor" was aired last weekend, and the premiere ratings were 7 points." Wang Zhengyu said with a proud face.
"That's right. Brother Wang, you are awesome. The variety show you put on air is better than the popular TV series." Liu Yifei praised.
It is probably because they are highly entertaining. The average ratings of variety shows in the past two years have been higher than those of TV series. This seems to have become a phenomenon and a rule, and it also indicates that the variety show market is rapidly opening up and is very broad.
"Are there any good prospects this year?" Chu Xuan asked.
"Zhou Zhou Wei, Li Yifeng, Liu Shishi, the top three, Li Xin, Zhang Ruoyun, Wang Ou, and Wang Kai are all pretty good." Wang Zhengyu said.
Although the show has just started airing, the recording of the finals stage has already been completed, and the rankings of each contestant are already certain.
After hearing several names mentioned by Wang Zhengyu, especially the names of the top three, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded slightly without comment and did not express any opinions.
Wang Zhengyu said: "There are people behind Li Yifeng and Liu Shishi, and they also have fans to support them. Zhou Wei is a pure actor, just like a newcomer, but his acting skills are overwhelming. Everyone can tell the gap between others and him. Long
Dan Ni had no choice but to give him the championship in order to preserve the image of the show."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei smiled. Although they did not participate in the recording of the show, it sounded like Long Danni was struggling with the choice between strength and traffic.
The couple also felt a little happy. In the last competition, a powerful group like Zhang Luyi lost to the traffic. This time, the average strength of the players is probably a bit low. The gap with the powerful group is too huge, so that the program team has no choice.
There is room for operation.
"The broadcast of the program relies on Mango Channel. Tianyu has always had the initiative in this regard, and we are passive. It is really a pity that Li Xin, Zhang Ruoyun, Wang Ou, Wang Kai and other good young talents without backgrounds have no background." Wang Zhengyu said.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This situation will change when the group has an online broadcast outlet." Chu Xuan said.
Wang Zhengyu nodded. Online video has not yet been launched. It is too dependent on computers and is destined to be inferior to TV. If online video can be made mobile in the mobile era as predicted by the industry, then this will be a big opportunity for the group, a substitute for TV.
A huge opportunity for broadcasting.
He also knew that Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua had a plan in this regard, but they just needed time to settle and wait for the market to give them the opportunity. There was no rush now.
The two parties separated in the aisle and took their seats.
Nearby were either film production representatives from the China Film Group, or entertainment capital tycoons such as Enlight Media. The seating arrangement for the couple was indeed high-end, but sitting with a group of middle-aged and elderly people was really uncomfortable for them.
We chatted for a while, but fortunately the movie started showing soon to break the awkwardness.
After Ning Hao wrote the script of "Crazy Stone" in the millennium, the inspiration for the story of "Crazy Racing" also followed. However, Ning Hao valued the former more and hastily wrote a synopsis of the story of "Crazy Racing".
Leave it alone.
It wasn't until "Crazy Stone" was released in 2006 that it first won the Huabiao Award and then was nominated for the Golden Rooster. After becoming famous, "Crazy Racing" came to Ning Hao's mind again.
Judging from the name, this is a series of movies, but the content is completely unrelated.
Both are comedies, but the difference between the two lies in the core performance.
The comedy direction of the former reflects some reality and can make people think.
This kind of play direction is also related to the literary and artistic style of the year. When making comedies, I always like to be more literary.
But "Crazy Racing" is different. Ning Hao abandoned the profound core and added some nonsensical things about Mr. Xing, turning the movie into a purely funny work.
The male protagonist played by Huang Bo is a cyclist who was banned from the competition because he was tricked by others because he was too good at it. His master was so angry that he just burped. This is the reason for the story.
When the master burps, the hero of course wants to bury the master. This is the beginning of the story.
An ordinary person buried his master. This seemed like a normal and unremarkable thing, but it involved drug traffickers, killers and the police.
This is outrageous, but it also allows an absurd drama to be staged.
In Chu Xuan's view, as social pressure is increasing, the audience likes comedies like this, which don't have core elements or express anything profound, and just be happy.
"Hahaha..." Hearing the laughter from time to time in the audience, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei turned their heads and glanced at each other, knowing in their hearts that this movie would be more successful than "Crazy Stone".
After a movie was played, the audience left the theater with unfinished content. The smiles on their faces showed that they were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere.
After the crew finished their interviews, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei gave them applause and then left with the guests to the VIP channel.
The couple came to the seafood barbecue restaurant opposite and sat in the upstairs box waiting for Huang Bo and Ning Hao to arrive.
In addition to attending the premiere today, they also have a very important purpose.
Chu Xuan will direct and star in "My Love from the Star". Although he has learned a lot from the crew in the past, this is the first time he has tried to practice it as a director. In order to increase his self-confidence and to ensure the quality of the work, he needs someone to do it.
Play support for him.
It's a bit embarrassing to ask teachers from outside the group, but it would be much more convenient to ask someone from within the group.
There are many directors under the group, but the only director who has made urban-themed works is Ning Hao.
The position of director of photography is very important, as it assists the director in handling lens matters.
If Ning Hao can serve as the photography director, Chu Xuan's confidence will undoubtedly increase greatly.
They also wanted to hire Huang Bo because the couple wanted him to play an important role.
Liu Yifei is a star in the setting of the play. A star must have an assistant, and the assistant is always with the star. So this role has many scenes and is very important.
It was Liu Yi's suggestion to let Huang Bo play Liu Yifei's assistant.
"Huang Bo's movements and Sissi's stillness are very dramatic; Huang Bo's face and Sissi's face, when these two stand together, it is a light comedy."
"The heroine's mother is very strict with the female supervisor. When looking for an assistant, she must either find a woman or someone like Huang Bo to make people feel at ease. This assistant must be played by Huang Bo, and the dramatic tension of the plot will be greatly enhanced."
Liu Yi is not saying that Huang Bo is ugly, he is simply looking at Huang Bo from an artistic point of view and letting Huang Bo play the role of Liu Yifei's assistant is simply full of drama.
