Chapter 629: Valuing Character
Lin Zhi is a high-profile and showy director, so how could his movie premiere not be a grand affair?
Liu Man had received a message from him a month ago asking her to make time to attend the premiere on time. The release date of the movie was still ten days before the Spring Festival, which perfectly met Lin Zhi's expectations and was aimed at the Lunar New Year period.
Liu Lan arrived early that afternoon at Huaguang Cinema, the largest cinema in the capital - the national chain of cinemas invested by Yu Zhan and He Lushen.
In order to facilitate the premiere, Lin Zhi booked the entire cinema. After Liu Lan entered, she met many familiar crew members, who all greeted her enthusiastically.
The stage was decorated like a concert, with all kinds of gorgeous and colorful lights and three giant screens.
Liu Lan didn't expect Tang Tu to arrive earlier than her. They exchanged greetings. Tang Tu was recently busy filming Amy Yip's "Dream of the Late Ming Dynasty", and the filming location was still at the film and television base on the outskirts of the capital.
After Tang Tu joined the crew of "Late Ming Dynasty Dream", he was like a living advertisement. The subsequent recruitment of other actors became much easier. Many agents of well-known actresses took the initiative to contact Ye Zian and Qiu Jing to recommend their own artists, which was in sharp contrast to the previous cold words. Qiu Jing was a grudge holder. These people had disdained her before, and she would not treat them well now.
Therefore, except for Tang Tu, all other roles in the cast of "Dreams of the Late Ming Dynasty", including the heroine, are newcomers discovered by Qiu Jing, which can be said to be a very bold attempt.
In fact, Qiu Jing originally wanted Liu Lan to play the leading female role, but was ruthlessly vetoed by Yu Zhan. If he wanted to let his girlfriend and Tang Tu play screen lovers, he must be a fool!

Thanks to Yu Zhan's relationship, Liu Man was well aware of the dynamics of Xinghe Film and Television. She saw that Tang Tu looked very good, and it was obvious that the filming of "Dream of the Late Ming Dynasty" was going very smoothly.
Tang Tu also mentioned that the "young ladies" were going to his house to shoot a video, "I specifically asked Director Ye for two days off, one for this premiere and one for your video."
"Thank you so much for your help," Liu Lan thanked her.
"It's not a problem. Tao Zhiyao is now my other boss. As a contracted artist, in principle, I have to obey my boss's arrangements," Tang Tu said with a hint of sarcasm. "Besides, I'm not working for free. I'll have a generous extra income during the Spring Festival. I'll just consider it as New Year's money."
Liu Lan laughed and said, "The more you work, the more you get."
She was wondering whether she should tell Tang Tu about Yang Huayue. After all, he and Yang Huayue had a good relationship. If Tang Tu went to visit Yang Huayue, Yang Huayue would be very happy.
At this time, Lin Zhi, Tian Yafu and Wang Xiangqin came over together. "I saw you two chatting from a distance. What are you talking about? You are laughing so happily."
"Today is a happy day. The movie that everyone has worked so hard to shoot is about to be released. Of course we are happy," Tang Tu was very good at speaking, and the bosses felt very happy to hear that.
Lin Zhi is very confident about the box office of "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace". From the number of views and likes of the trailer released on the official blog earlier, it can be seen that the public is still very receptive to this traditional theme movie.
The trailer includes a lot of wonderful scenes, including the most classic scene of Zhaojun petitioning, Princess Huayang playing the zither, and the grand scene of Zhaojun going to the frontier. As for the kissing scene between Liu Man and Tang Tu, Lin Zhi deliberately left it in the feature film to give the audience a surprise.
On the other side, Yu Zhan went to the airport to pick up He Lushen, and the two went to the cinema together.
In the car, He Lushen said to Yu Zhan, "After the premiere, I'll go visit Yang Huayue. You scolded me that night, and I still feel bad about it. Especially during the past two days at work, I felt so flustered for no reason. It's really strange."
"After all, you are condoning crime."
Yu Zhan's mental journey was quite complicated. He had listened to He Lushen's complaints and advised Liu Lan to keep things quiet. But two days ago, he went to visit Yang Huayue. Although he was not familiar with Yang Huayue, when he saw the miserable girl in the wheelchair, he felt that Fu Feiqian was really hateful. At the same time, he also had a slight aversion to some of his friend's behaviors. If He Lushen had not been so unruly before, how could Fu Feiqian hold on to him?
