Chapter 877 Extra 18: Heavy snow falls on the city, and it is rare to have peace and success of "Changjin Lake" made the promotion of "The Watergate Bridge of Changjin Lake" smoother.
It can almost be said that they are pursuing their success. The first part has made a name for itself, and the second part is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival.
It’s so powerful that you don’t even have to pay an entrance fee.
All major cinema chains are crying out for help, waiting for big money to come in and rescue the market.
As for the admission fee, let other movies pay for it.
As for the Lunar New Year box office, it is no longer as good as it used to be, but this is something no one expected.
No one would have thought that Liu Xunzimo, who was not so prominent in the team, would give the audience a tough job.
His first film as a director, "Famous", was a huge hit and made a comeback thanks to word of mouth.
From the first day's box office of 1177 million, it rushed all the way to 9 million, almost breaking billion, shocking the audience.
It brought down the highly marketed "The Antique Bureau Wars".
It can also be said that he brought the "Never Expected" team back into the audience's field of vision, making many people suddenly realize that this person who was once not paid much attention to still has some strength.
Liu Xunzimo himself was not expecting this and kept posting on Weibo to express his surprise and thank the audience for their support.
Although he is not as good as Boss Jia, he has indeed proved himself with great success.
"The Long Season" has started filming in southern Yunnan.
This drama, which tells a story about Northeast China, was filmed in the South.
The choice of location was decided by director Xin Jiang.
“When we talk about the Northeast, most of us think of the cold, or its austerity and harshness.
"I think we can't have these things. In fact, the temperament of our whole play is very warm and beautiful. I want a Northeastern style like this."
Xin Qiang paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, the autumn in the Northeast is too short. This golden season is the most suitable here. The 'autumn' here is also very long."
In the crew, he briefly explained the reason to Chen An, and the latter did not have any major objections.
"It just happens to be a long season, right?" Chen An smiled, "But I don't understand why you all like to ask me to guest star?"
Xin Jiang sat nearby and chuckled, "Didn't I hear that Director Chen likes to guest star? A big star like you will definitely have a greater impact."
Chen An looked at his outfit, a dark executive jacket with a white shirt, and a pair of frameless glasses that a gentleman would need, and said:
"You didn't even look for a good role, and gave this role to me."
Give the role of the factory director Song Yukun to yourself, and wait until those bastards on the Internet say that I am just playing the role.
Am I the kind of scum who is corrupt and takes bribes?
But I didn't refuse. I just wanted to experience it. There weren't many shots anyway.
In the 'autumn' of 2021, "The Long Season" officially started filming in Kunming.
Chen An’s shots were scheduled to be shot a few days ago, so Xin Jiang didn’t dare to keep him for too long.
There weren't many shots and the shooting was completed quickly.
Some actors haven't joined the crew yet. Xin Jiang is not Chen An. The latter has all the crew in place when filming starts, and the actors dare not leave unless they are told to leave.
"Congratulations to Director Chen for wrapping up the filming!"
Xin Jiang shouted in the crew, and the staff brought over a bouquet of flowers, which was quite formal.
Chen An took it with a smile, and said in front of the crowd: "It's so formal, people who don't know would think I'm the leading actor."
After he finished filming, the crew stopped working for half a day and had a meal to celebrate.
After the meal, I planned to leave the crew and go to see Kunming, which I hadn’t been to for many years. It has been a long time since I last came here to film "Li Mi's Conjecture".
Just as I stood up and was about to leave, a figure stood up from another table and ran over.
"Director Chen!" The man who came running called out to Chen An.
He quickly pulled out a poster from his arms, which was the official movie poster of "Little Forest: Winter and Spring".
The man took out a pen and asked hesitantly, "Can I have your autograph?"
Chen An glanced at him, wearing the school uniform prepared by the crew, and said, "Fu Weijun?"
The man scratched the back of his head with a silly smile, "Yes, I am playing the role of Fu Weijun, Director Chen, my name is Jiang Qiming."
Chen An took the poster and looked at it with a smile, "Is it yours?"
"My girlfriend asked me to get your autograph if I could meet you. Is that okay?" Jiang Qiming was a little nervous. The courage he had just rushed over to him had almost disappeared. After all, this guy was a big shot at the top of the industry, and he was also a big boss of an Internet giant. He had an extraordinary status, and it would be presumptuous for him to rush over.
Chen An took the pen from his other hand, signed on the poster, and handed it back.
"It's signed. Not bad. I found a girlfriend with good taste."
Then he patted his shoulder and continued, "Take good pictures. Fu Weijun's character is quite brilliant. By the way, do you want to take a picture?"
When Jiang Qiming heard Chen An's invitation, his eyes lit up and he nodded immediately: "Is it okay? I am willing, no, I want it!"
He immediately took out his cell phone and took a few pictures, as if afraid that Chen An would go back on his word. After taking the pictures, he happily looked at the photo on his phone.
Chen An waved his hand, said nothing more, and left.
Seeing Jiang Qiming's success, many staff members were eager to come up and take a photo with him, but unfortunately Chen An had already left without looking back.
Opportunities are reserved for those who have the courage to seize them.
After leaving the crew, Chen An was not in a hurry to leave the city.
Instead, I took a car tour around the city. After many years, the city has developed significantly.
But it’s still full of the feeling of the past, and the long bridge that was filmed is still there.
The car was parked not far away, and we could see many people on the bridge checking in and taking photos at the place where Zhou Xun gave his monologue in "Li Mi's Conjecture".
It has become a surface building for tourism in Kunming.
As an art film, "Li Mi's Conjecture" is not lacking in commerciality and is widely circulated.
It was not until the evening that Chen An set off for the airport.
Leaving this city in the night.
Maybe the time is just right, when I’m taking a bus back from Beijing Airport.
The car went onto the overpass, and Chen An, who was taking a nap, suddenly heard a sound coming from the cab.
"Uncle Chen, it's snowing."
Chen An looked out the window and saw small snowflakes beginning to fall from the gray sky.
"Yeah, it's snowing."
Looking at the snowflakes outside the window, Chen An spoke lightly, his eyes looking into the distance.
It's snowing again in the capital, and another year has passed quickly.
Thousands of miles of ice and snow were falling. After a few days of heavy snow, the capital city was covered in silver.
It is also the case that the snowy nights these past few days have allowed the heart of the empire to calm down.
The heavy snow covered everything, leaving only tranquility!
However, the areas surrounding the courtyard have been modernized, and the scene of curling smoke from earlier years can no longer be seen.
The chimney has not produced any smoke for many years.
But when the heavy snow that covered everything stopped, the city became bustling again.
The machines started working and most of the snow that was affecting traffic activities was cleared in just one morning.
The children who had not yet taken their final exams were woken up early in the morning. They were all sleepy, rubbing their eyes and yawning.
It is obvious that although the person is standing here, his soul is still on the bed.
They were standing unsteadily, and even after the maid dressed them they were still in a daze.
Xiao Nuanshu found a seat next to his father to eat breakfast. He didn't even move his chopsticks. As soon as he sat down, he lay in his arms and continued to sleep.
Chen An pinched her little nose and said, "Eat breakfast and warm yourself up. It's very cold outside."
"No~ I want to sleep a little longer." Little Nuanshu murmured coquettishly, squirming in his arms and raising her hand to slap away Chen An's mischievous hand.
Chen An leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Your mother is standing behind you."
Xiao Nuan sat up straight immediately. She looked around and didn't see her mother. She was still sleeping.
He glared at Chen An angrily: "Big liar!"
Chen An scratched her high nose bridge with amusement, "Your mother is still the most useful."
