Chapter 473: "Dying to Survive" Premieres, Not Recommended for Viewing, Not Recommended for Listening

In the next seven or eight days, the casting for "God of Cookery" was completed.

But as for the male lead, Chen Shuren only auditioned for more than ten people.

Sun Wen and others fulfilled their duties and released Chen Shuren's request.

The people who came to audition were all good-looking and had a sense of humor, but they were far from what Chen Shuren had in mind.

Some people have a sense of humor, but the things they perform are awkward.

Some people have acting skills, but they can't make people laugh when they perform.

Some people have acting skills and a sense of humor, but they still can't meet Chen Shuren's requirements.

Therefore, after Chen Shuren finished interviewing those who came to audition for the male lead on the first day, he asked Sun Wen to send messages to those who would audition later so that they would not come again.

At that time, Sun Wen thought that Chen Shuren looked down on Yanzhou actors, but Chen Shuren shook his head.

"It's not the Yanzhou actor's problem, it's that I already have the image of the male protagonist in my mind, but if I choose according to this image, even if he looks exactly the same, it still doesn't meet my psychological expectations."

After hearing this, Sun Wen asked Chen Shuren who the actor in his heart was, and he tried to make an appointment.

As a result, when Chen Shuren said it was just a figment of his imagination, he was speechless on the spot.

In the end, Sun Wen didn't care. Anyway, he didn't choose the male lead. Chen Shuren himself was chosen, and he was eager to do so.

Just like that, the crew of "God of Cookery" was ready to start filming a week after casting.

Why do you say ready to boot?

That's because "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has been produced and submitted for review and is ready to go online.

As a director, Sun Wen has to attend the premiere. Similarly, Xie Haiqi and other leading and supporting actors also have to take time to go to several premieres.

Chen Shuren also went along, but he only served as an audience at the premiere.

…

Liangzhou.

Qincheng Cinema.

As the property of Qin Baobao's family, with Qin Baobao's participation, it naturally became the premiere spot of "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

Off stage, in the audience.

"Hey, after waiting for so long, I can finally watch it."

Qin Baobao turned sideways and said to Chen Shuren with a smile.

"Don't you have any other activities in Liangzhou?"

Chen Shuren was curious.

"Yes, dancing, studying, and communicating, but I don't have any friends here, so it's meaningless to do anything. I'm not comfortable being with you."

Qin Baobao sighed, but then he became happy again.

"But it's coming soon. I heard from the doctor that my grandma is in good health. In a month or two, she won't have to stay in the hospital and can just go home."

"I will bring grandma back to Qingzhou when the time comes!"

Seeing Qin Baobao's happy look, Chen Shuren also smiled.

"That's good."

Seeing what Chen Shuren said, Qin Baobao glared at him.

"Okay, okay, where will you be then? Maybe you've gone to another state again, right?"

"Well……"

When Chen Shuren thought about it, it was really possible.

Although "Run Together" and "Bite of the Tongue" have been almost completed in four states, after the Chinese New Year, we will have to make new plans when we return to Hezhou.

At least for the next one or two years, Chen Shu’s schedule at the National People’s Congress is foreseeable.

"Hmph~"

Seeing that Chen Shuren stopped talking, Qin Baobao was too lazy to continue teasing.

"By the way, I told my grandma about your idea of ​​filming "The God of Medicine". She praised you very much and said she would treat you to dinner if she had the chance."

"Ah? What are you talking about?"

Chen Shuren scratched his head.

"Isn't this boring? I mentioned you to my grandma when we were playing together before, so I chatted with her."

Qin Baobao's eyes averted, and after speaking, he pointed at Sun Wen on the stage and said: "Sun Wen wants to speak, be quiet."

Chen Shuren was interrupted and looked at the people in front of the screen.

"Dear friends, hello everyone, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the premiere of "I'm Not the God of Medicine." I won't say much more. On behalf of all the crew members, I would like to bow to you!"

After Sun Wen finished speaking, he bent down and bowed.

Xie Haiqi next to him was stunned for a moment, and then they also bowed together.

This move made the audience burst into applause.

Sun Wen had a smile on his face.

"Everyone sitting here includes reporters from Liangzhou, directors from Yangzhou, friends from Qingzhou, etc. I feel a little happy to see you all."

"Ever since I entered the industry, I have been thinking that one day, when my movie premieres, the audience will be full of great directors who came to support me, A-list!"

"At that time, I thought this day would be far away, but what I didn't expect was that in less than two years, I would realize this dream..."

Gao Nanhua, Zhang Guofeng and other directors in the audience had smiles on their faces, but also felt a little sad in their hearts.

Sun Wen's rise was sudden.

Whether it is Gao Nanhua or Zhang Guofeng, they only learned about Sun Wen from a few short films at the beginning.

They even got in touch with Sun Wen through Chen Shuren.

But being able to come to the premiere this time was partly due to Chen Shuren's reputation, but more importantly, they believed that Sun Wen could be in the same position as them in the future.

No matter which industry, the higher you go, the fewer people there are.

It stands to reason that the fewer people there are, the more they should stick together.

But the problem is, among these people who can reach the top, which one doesn't have his own temper?

Therefore, "the fewer people there are, the more we should stick together" became "only the weak will stick together, and the strong will always walk alone."

If Gao Nanhua and Zhang Guofeng were not old friends for many years, they might not have any more communication after several disagreements and quarrels.

Then the media will exaggerate and leave a piece of news that "Director Zhang and Director Gao have broken up", and they may never contact each other again.

For Gao Nanhua and Zhang Guofeng, they also want to have more friends of the same level to communicate with.

Sun Wen, obviously already has this qualification.

In addition to the existence of Chen Shuren, the four of them will definitely not be as easy to break up as others in the future.

So, after receiving Sun Wen's invitation, the two put down their work and set out from Yangzhou to show their support.

Of course, there is also the idea of ​​wanting to see how this new movie is.

As Sun Wen's second big movie, if this one can continue to sing, then Sun Wen's position in the director circle will be consolidated.

Thinking of this, the two glanced at Chen Shuren sitting in the corner.

With such a guy to help, Sun Wen can do it.

Otherwise, it is said that noble people are hard to find.

...

"Haha, I've said too much."

Sun Wen suppressed the uncontrollable desire to talk in his heart and prepared to end this speech.

"Many people are curious about what this movie is about and why we made it."

"In fact, this movie was not conceived before we came to Liangzhou. After seeing some people and some things in Liangzhou, the script of "Dying to Survive" appeared in my hands."

"The reason, let's go to the movie together. By the way... this movie is just the beginning of someone doing something."

After Sun Wen finished speaking, he put down the microphone and took a group of actors off the stage and sat in the first row.

"How about it, Brother Shu, how is my hook?"

Chen Shuren laughed and said nothing.

What he was going to do next did need a topic.

Not long after, the movie started playing.

At the same time, before the movie was played, topics related to "Dying to Survive" had already appeared on Liangzhou's hot searches.

But it was not a spoiler or gossip, but curiosity about the director Sun Wen.

…

"Gao Nanhua and Zhang Guofeng actually came to Liangzhou to watch the premiere. Who is the director of "Dying to Survive"? So awesome?"

"Gao Nanhua and Zhang Guofeng? Sounds familiar. Who are they?"

"Damn!"

After some general knowledge, a bunch of netizens recalled.

"It turns out that several of the movies I've watched were directed by them! Are they Yangzhou directors? I always thought these movies were made by our Liangzhou directors."

"Me too, that's how it is!"

"A typical example of a popular movie, but not a popular director."

Seeing someone say this, netizens who follow the film and television industry laughed.

"The director is not popular? That's because you haven't been to Yangzhou! Almost all of these two's movies are almost packed in the first week. Don't believe it? Wait until we merge with Liangzhou, and then you can ask online there and you'll know."

"So awesome, then this "Dying to Survive" is also directed by a Yangzhou director? But why did a Yangzhou director premiere in Liangzhou?"

"..."

For this question, even those who follow it don't know how to answer.

"That's a good question. Wait until the premiere is over and see if anyone talks about it."

Sun Wen's fame is only spread in Yangzhou and other merged states. In addition, he only has this one big movie, so it basically can't spread to other states.

Unless someone specifically checks Sun Wen's resume.

But it's useless to check it. If you haven't watched Sun Wen's movies, you won't understand the value of Sun Wen's title as a rookie director.

But it must be said that for the movie "Dying to Survive", this kind of discussion is gratifying.

Whether it is Gao Nanhua and Zhang Guofeng, or the name of the movie, it has attracted the attention of many Liangzhou people.

This has achieved the purpose of publicity.

What's more, this is a spontaneous discussion among netizens, and Tianyu's publicity has not yet officially started.

...

Zhou Baoliang is a Liangzhou film critic.

He thinks he is not a powerful figure in the film review industry.

But Liangzhou's film and television industry is desolate, and there are only so many film critics in the industry.

However, how many people can compare with him who came back from Yangzhou for "further study"?

Zhou Baoliang was also very satisfied with his return to Liangzhou from Yangzhou.

If you can't beat the wolves in Yangzhou, can you beat the sheep in Liangzhou?

After twisting the water bottle and taking a sip of water, Zhou Baoliang put his laptop on the small table provided by the theater.

Zhou Baoliang has long been accustomed to this kind of treatment.

In the past, he would start recording when he was halfway through the movie.

But today, he was a little nervous.

Turning his head to look at the two figures in the front, Zhou Baoliang's eyes were bright.

His colleagues in Liangzhou may only think of these two people as "I know they are very famous".

But he is different. Zhou Baoliang, who has been in Yangzhou, naturally knows how rare it is to have these two people attend the premiere at the same time.

So, he is ready to take this movie seriously.

Ten minutes passed.

Zhou Baoliang's hands have been on the small table, but he didn't type a word.

"Is this movie really worth watching by Director Gao? Didn't they take money?"

Zhou Baoliang was a little confused, but he still endured it and watched it.

As the plot unfolded, Zhou Baoliang gradually got involved.

But the hands on the keyboard never typed a single word.

Until the movie ended and the theme song started playing.

…

Maybe it's far away or yesterday, here or on the other side

The long road is full of joys and sorrows, people gather and disperse

Let go of right and wrong to know the answer, be brave in living

Without the aura of God, you and I would be ordinary

…

Bland music, without high-pitched melodies and intense emotions.

When Zhou Baoliang was woken up by the sobs of the narration audience, he was still a little surprised as to why the other party was crying.

Shaking his head and laughing.

Zhou Baoliang wiped the moisture from his face and looked at the empty document, but couldn't type a single word with his hands.

"call……"

After taking a long breath, Zhou Baoliang opened his platform account and posted a message.

…

I just finished watching "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and I can't write my review.

Listening to the ending song, I felt a little depressed.

So, let me tell you a joke.

"There was a writing on the door of the ancient pharmacy: 'I wish there would be no suffering in the world, I would rather put the medicine on the shelf to become ashes.'"

"The current door of the pharmacy says: 'Members can use points to spend, and you will get free eggs if you spend 58 or more.'"

The movie is very good, but I don’t recommend it to everyone.

The ending song is very good, but I don’t recommend you listen to it.

…

At the end of the premiere, Gao Nanhua and Zhang Guofeng looked at each other, looked at Sun Wen who had finished thanking him, and then looked at Chen Shuren who was still comforting Qin Baobao who was still in the pear blossoms and raining rain.

"Hey, I'm getting old. I always want to make blockbusters."

"Yeah, I'm getting old, so I have to make more friends like Sun Wen and Chen Xiaozi."

Two great directors who were over fifty years old walked towards the lounge prepared for them with their hands behind their backs.

Not long after, Sun Wen, Chen Shuren and others walked in.

"Director Gao, how was the movie?"

As soon as Sun Wen came in, he looked at the two senior directors expectantly, looking forward to their guidance.

"Well, the picture and lighting have improved. It seems that a lot of effort has been put into it."

Gao Nanhua encouraged him and walked towards Chen Shuren.

"Xiao Sun, come on!"

After Zhang Guofeng finished speaking, he also walked towards Chen Shuren.

Sun Wen, who was patted on the shoulders and praised by the two directors, looked happy.

Not far away, Xie Haiqi and Tang Yingcheng looked at each other.

"Old Sun... why don't we go comfort him? I feel a bit pitiful."

Xie Haiqi said.

"Forget it, it's good that he is so cheerful."

Tang Yingcheng replied.

Then the two of them looked at Chen Shuren together.

At this time, Gao Nanhua and Zhang Guofeng shook hands with Chen Shuren.

To outsiders, it seems that the two directors are closer to Sun Wen.

But in the eyes of people like Tang Yingcheng who knew their relationship, this handshake had a different meaning.

"Xiaoshu, you...hey."

Gao Nanhua wanted to say something, but in the end he could only sigh.

"If you need help from us two old guys, just ask."

The two of them had heard Chen Shuren talk about things in Liangzhou. After watching "I'm Not the God of Medicine", they were immediately more concerned about this matter.

"Then, thank you two directors."

Chen Shuren said solemnly.
