Not to mention, Youlian seized the opportunity and unscrupulously launched soft advertising, and the publicity effect was still great.
As the scope of this debate gradually expanded, many surrounding countries and regions also became aware of Hollywood's leading film and television special effects studios.
Soon after, leading studios began to receive inquiries and cooperation requests from film and television companies in Hong Kong and surrounding countries. Many crews even came directly to the door with checks, which made them concentrate on the later stage of "The Love of Ghosts".
They all couldn't figure out the routine.
Today is the official release day of "Ancient and Modern War". Except for the premiere, all the movie tickets for the other shows that day have been sold out early.
Naturally, there were no ordinary white people attending the premiere, so you had to rely on an invitation to enter.
Although the Future Cinema can hold a ceremony for guests to walk on the red carpet, so far, the red carpet of the Future Cinema has only been used a few times.
There are so many films produced and released in Hong Kong every year, and everyone lives a very fast life. Therefore, under normal circumstances, everyone will try to simplify the procedures as much as possible.
Except for the annual Academy Awards ceremony, only in rare cases will the red carpet procedure be used.
Sun Dahai also happened to catch up once, that is, at the end of 1987, the premiere of "The Last Emperor" was held in Hong Kong.
Today, the red carpet of Future Cinema was once again placed at the entrance of the hall. Many guests walked through the red carpet in an orderly manner and entered the theater in a pre-arranged order.
As a large-scale film co-produced by two places, leaders from China also came to attend the premiere of the film.
However, compared to the truly international co-production blockbuster "The Last Emperor", "Ancient and Modern War" is far different in terms of subject matter, shooting costs, the meaning behind it, and the goals pursued by the film.
Therefore, last time Ying Lao personally led the team, this time the leadership level was lowered and he was just a deputy director of the Ministry of Culture.
But her job is to manage foreign cultural exchanges (Hong Kong, Bay Area and Macao), and she works as a counterpart, which also gives the inviting party Youlian a great face.
Because the movie premiere in the capital was held in the morning, the crew had to go back and forth today.
After lunch, they hurriedly flew back to Xiangjiang from the capital to ensure that they could attend the premiere in Xiangjiang again in the evening. It was very hard.
Due to different levels, the guests who stepped onto the red carpet this time were mainly invited Xiangjiang artists and members of the crew of "Ancient and Modern War between Qin Terracotta Warriors".
Leaders from China, officials accompanying the Xiangjiang government, and several top tycoons in the Xiangjiang film and television industry did not walk on the red carpet, but entered the venue directly.
Zhang Yimou also followed the crew to Xiangjiang. This is half of his home field, so he is responsible for greeting his mainland colleagues who came first, including Gong Li.
Gong Li, 24, came to Hong Kong under the capitalist system for the first time.
Historically, she came to Hong Kong in 1993 with the aura of an international actress after completing Zhang Yimou's red trilogy "Red Sorghum", "Ju Dou" and "Raise the Red Lantern".
At this time, although she had made a name for herself in the film and television industry through "Red Sorghum" in 1987, she was still immature and far from reaching her historical heights.
At this time, Zhang Yimou had divorced, and Gong Li had slowly come into the attention of insiders, becoming his semi-public girlfriend.
Coming to attend the premiere this time was Zhang Yimou's last-minute decision. He was currently filming "Codename Jaguar", and if it weren't for Gong Li, he would most likely have declined the crew's invitation to attend the premiere.
Zhang Yimou brought Gong Li to Xiangjiang because he wanted to inquire about Youlian and see if he could sign her.
As Youlian's projects continue to be successful, Youlian's status in the industry continues to improve. Zhang Yimou has long since dismissed Youlian at the beginning, but now he truly regards Youlian as his own company.
When he sees the achievements of Youlian, he will sincerely feel honored and proud of them.
Gong Li is the heroine in his new drama. This heroine is a little slutty, similar to Hong Gu's role in "A Better Tomorrow". She is actually just a vase, and she looks familiar.
The script of the new version of "Codename Jaguar" has been reorganized and significantly revised by the screenwriting team of Friendship Alliance. It has changed beyond recognition.
In the old version of the movie, Zhang Yimou added a lot of scenes to Gong Li, and at the same time, he also habitually added some "weiguangzheng" humanistic care, which made the whole movie look weird, the plot was dragging, and there were many pitfalls.
I couldn't fill it out in the end.
In the new version, Gong Li's scenes have been deleted a lot, and the character setting has been simplified.
A small-budget commercial film with an anti-terrorism theme is just for the audience to watch, so why does it have so many gimmicks?
Therefore, Gong Li had a very relaxed life on the set. Compared with the painful experience in the first two films she and Zhang Yimou collaborated on ("Red Sorghum" and "The Love of Ancient and Modern War between Qin Terracotta Warriors"), this time she can
It's said to be extremely comfortable.
After learning that the crew of "Ancient and Modern War" invited them to attend the premiere, Gong Li pestered Zhang Yimou to attend. Not only could this trip relieve her boredom, but more importantly, she could go to Xiangjiang and have fun. Anyway, the cost was borne by the crew
bear.
Zhang Yimou thought more and further.
Gong Li has become his girlfriend, but her current status is that she is still a student of the Chinese Theater Academy and will soon be assigned to graduate school.
At this time, the issue of the distribution of college graduates was still a unified distribution by the state. However, as the shortcomings caused by the unified distribution by the state became more and more obvious and the calls for reform became louder and louder, this policy was actually very loose.
At the beginning of this year, the state issued guidance on "independent career choice and two-way choice" within a certain range regarding the allocation of graduates to college students.
Although this guidance is aimed at college freshmen admitted in 1989 and later, China National Theater is an art college, and its graduation allocation is inherently flexible and not too restrictive. Now with such guidance, I am afraid that students
You have more freedom in career choices.
Gong Li's current employment intention is to stay in school. China National Theater has a drama research institute, and they intend to recruit Gong Li.
However, as an actor, it is very common to find a formal unit where the work is easy, or to be affiliated with a literary and art group, and then take on the roles privately.
This was the case for Zhang Yimou at this time.
His workplace is Guizhou Film Studio, and his management contract is with Youlian. In addition to completing the work assigned by the factory every year, he can arrange the rest of his time freely.
After getting along with Gong Li, Zhang Yimou wanted to ask Youlian to sign her as well. If so, both of their management contracts would be with the same company, and it would be more convenient for them to do anything in the future.
