"Regarding this ending and this arrangement, some people may have different opinions about our film, or even disagree with it, but that's not important to us. What's important is to promote our Chinese culture."
The main targets are historians and public intellectuals. These people will definitely start criticizing online and in the media. This is their job and their means of making money. No matter how well you film, they will always find fault with you.
"I just want everyone to enjoy watching it, to feel that it's a good movie worth watching, and to make sure that everyone's money is well spent. That's my biggest wish and goal."
The audience was very supportive, praising the show and saying it was worth watching and that the money was well spent.
Then came the celebrity interview segment. For some reason, Bai Yansong immediately approached Director Chen.
"Director Chen, what would you like to say about this film?"
Chen Kaige stood up and looked at Zhang Yimou on stage: "The scale, costumes, props, and visual control are all excellent. This is Zhang's forte. As for the storytelling..."
Chen Kaige's pause drew everyone's attention. Chen Hong, standing to the side, secretly kicked Director Chen. "All the leaders are here today, and this guy is your classmate, plus he's the biggest name director right now. Don't try to get attention, or you'll get into trouble for messing with him today."
"How should I put it in terms of storytelling? It's different from the Three Kingdoms we're all familiar with, especially Zhao Yun. Andy Lau's performance was excellent. Overall, it's a pretty good film, and Zhang Yimou has improved." Chen Kaige's words were rather tactful, praising Andy Lau while also saying that Zhang Yimou has improved—a kind of senior's praise for a junior.
Zhang Yimou, however, didn't seem to mind and simply smiled slightly to express his gratitude.
Then I interviewed some well-known directors from the fifth and sixth generations. To put it nicely, I invited everyone here today so that you would give me face. With so many leaders and celebrities here, no one will feel uncomfortable.
They praised Zhang Yimou one by one.
The premiere has now come to a close.
As the host, Shen Fang directly invited the CEOs and big names from Beijing's media, film, and movie industries who came today to the Tan Palace.
The "Blooming Flowers and Wealth" private room.
Shen Fang raised his glass: "Come on, let me toast my senior brother and wish him great success."
Zhang Yimou got up and cheerfully clinked glasses with Shen Fang.
Afterwards, investors Jin Tianxia and Han Sanping each clinked glasses with Zhang Yimou, along with Andy Lau, the lead actor.
Let's start eating.
The dinner party was a lively affair, with everyone toasting and laughing. After the meal, everyone went to the card room. At the beginning of the new year, some played mahjong, some played Texas Hold'em, and some played Landlord. It seemed that no one cared about the box office results of today's premiere or the media's reviews.
"Eight items."
Shen Fang, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, sipped the tea Liu Qianqian poured for him, with Huang Bo standing behind him.
"You shouldn't have played the eight of bamboo; you should have played the two of dots." Huang Bo said that Shen Fang was someone who didn't know where to play.
Shen Fang glanced sideways at Huang Bo, having spent the entire evening listening to Huang Bo giving instructions.
"Why don't you do it?"
Huang Bo quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "I'm not coming. You're betting so much money. It's not easy to earn some money. You can't lose it all at the card table."
"Then shut up."
Huang Bo chuckled and said, "I'll try my best."
Sinking Square...
"Hey Xiao Fang, is it reliable for you to tell me to buy houses everywhere? I've been following your advice and putting all my earnings into buying houses, and I've even taken on a lot of mortgages. Please don't let anything go wrong."
Having finally earned some money, Huang Bo listened to Shen Fang's advice and bought four houses, all of which were paid for by the richest man.
Shen Fang replied without batting an eye, "If you have money, just buy a house. The market doesn't fluctuate much now, but after 2008, it will enter a period of soaring prices. I've already invested tens of billions, what are you afraid of? Follow me and you'll eat meat and drink soup."
"If you don't have enough money on hand, you don't need to live in the house or renovate it. Just leave it as a bare shell. In two years, the rising house prices will naturally cover the renovation costs. In another two years, the price will double. It's a sure-fire way to make money."
"Really? So many people are going to buy houses?" Huang Bo expressed some doubts.
"What is the current development trend? Rural areas are migrating to cities. With so many rural people coming to cities to develop, they need housing, which is a basic necessity. After experiencing the prosperity of big cities, young people will definitely stay in the cities. There is also urban renewal and development, all of which require new housing. Young people also need new houses when they get married. No matter how many houses there are, they can all be sold. Real estate developers have many ways to deceive these people and make them become mortgage slaves."
