Chapter 758 Premiere

Comedy movies are mostly tragic in nature.

Comedians are also mostly introverted.

Hong Kong has produced countless hilarious comedy movies and countless humorous and funny comedians in the past 20 years.

In front of the screen...

They immerse themselves in exaggerated or ironic predicaments, making the audience laugh with their funny behaviors.

Behind the screen...

The figures who racked their brains to create laughs eventually became depressed in every reaction of the audience and could not extricate themselves.

………………………………

On October 1, the weather was sunny.

Zheng Xingzu, who was over 40, kept trying on various suits and ties.

But every suit and tie made him very dissatisfied. As if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder, he stared at the anxious self in the mirror in a state of collapse.

The figure who once brought laughter to countless people and had been away from the film industry for nearly 5 years was still not old at this time, but he rarely smiled on his face.

Five years ago...

He was sick.

Suddenly, overnight, he lost his desire for everything, rarely smiled, and felt a little numb in his heart.

This state naturally made it difficult for him to pursue an acting career, so he left the film industry with a sigh and reluctance.

In the first one or two years, news of his comeback could often be seen on the Internet, but as the times became more and more developed, the Internet became more and more convenient, and more and more new things that could provide users with points of interest appeared, people began to gradually forget Zheng Xingzu. Except for some reporters occasionally taking pictures of him and mentioning him, he basically disappeared.

"Are you really wearing this T-shirt?"

"Wear this one..."

"..."

He was the only one in the room.

He talked to himself in the mirror, then laughed, and simply threw his suit and all his ties into the trash can.

In the end, he put on a very simple T-shirt and jeans and walked out of the room.

At the door, a business car had been prepared for a long time.

When he saw him coming, Bi Feiyu came out with a smile, "Teacher Zheng, let's go!"

"Okay!"

When he saw Bi Feiyu, Zheng Xingzu smiled and got in the car.

Almost a year ago...

There was a knock at his door.

Then, he received the script of "Truman".

When he opened the door and saw Bi Feiyu, he was shocked!

He never dreamed that after five years away from the film industry, he would be invited to make a movie.

He instinctively wanted to refuse. Although he was out of fashion, he had always had high requirements for movie scripts.

He came from a comedy film. You can say that comedy is vulgar, you can also call it [nonsense], you can even laugh at him. He has been nominated for the Academy Awards 5 times in these years but has never won a prize. You can even say that he will never be accepted by mainstream filmmakers. Obviously, the box office is very high, crushing a lot of movies, and his acting skills are also very good, but he never won a prize...

But, you can't deny that it is really difficult to make a good comedy.

Moreover, few people can match his seriousness in every movie.

However, before he could say no, he saw Bi Feiyu's sincere face. In the end, he lowered his head and read the script.

The gears of fate completely turned at that moment.

"Teacher Zheng, hello..."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, hello!"

He saw a young man wearing glasses and being gentle and polite.

He hurriedly shook hands with the young man. The figure of a 40-year-old seemed helpless on this young man at this moment.

The road show of "Truman" has always been bad...

He followed the crew to travel all over the country, but in return he was scolded again and again, saying that he was in league with capital and had come to cut leeks.

He felt a little embarrassed for this young man, thinking that he had made a mistake in his expression during the road show and messed up a lot of things.

After all...

I heard from Director Bi that the Chinese leading actor of this movie seemed to be recommended by Mr. Zhang himself.

Mr. Zhang...

seemed to have seen his movie, and watched it very seriously.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Zheng..."

Zhang Sheng looked at Zheng Xingzu who was at a loss, and smiled.

He motioned Zheng Xingzu to sit down.

……………………………………

"I have always been very picky about reading books."

"Especially for fantasy books. I never read such books before..."

"But, by chance, I took a look at "The Devil's World" and I was deeply fascinated by this book!"

"About 5 years ago, when I heard that "The Devil's World" was going to be made into a movie, I even went to Hollywood in person, hoping that I could play a role in "The Devil's World"..."

"Of course, I was rejected, but after the rejection, I still discussed the investment of this movie with the director..."

"Steven is also a director I have watched since I was a child. Haha, I know many of his movies well. This cooperation is definitely the one I look forward to most in my life..."

"..."

[Wanda Cinema]

The premiere of "The Devil's World" next door is in full swing.

Nearly half of the Chinese artists rushed there.

Ma Yunhua also attended the premiere of "Demon World" in person with his [Jiahu Films].

At the premiere, looking at the countless stars and audiences below, he smiled and talked with Steven, the deputy director of "The Devil", about the original novel of this movie and some magic movies in the past, which caused a burst of laughter from the audience.

The opening warm-up of the premiere was very successful.

As the lights gradually went out, Ma Yunhua sat in the main seat under the gaze of the media, quietly watching this epic movie, which slowly opened.

The opening of this movie is a war...

Humans, elves, goblins, dragons...

Fighting, roaring, roaring, towering mountains, ice and snow full of boundlessness and cold wind...

The epic feeling and heavy Western fantasy that came to his face made Ma Yunhua feel the long-lost blood boiling.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart...

This is a truly epic blockbuster!

Not far away, a group of directors from the China Directors Association sat on chairs. Except for Vice President Kou Huai, almost everyone came!

They stared at the opening of the film with fiery eyes, feeling the cells and souls stimulated by the tragic music, and they thought of "Truman" involuntarily.

There was irony and ridicule, as if "Truman" was like a jumping clown, being nailed to the pillar of shame.

Several directors looked in the direction of "Truman" at the same time...

The imagined deserted theater did not happen. Instead, they saw several artists who supported "Demon World" lowered their heads and secretly left the screening room in the dark, walking towards the screening room on the other side of "Truman".

Not only them...

Even several people in the main creative team of "Truman" turned around and left.

………………………………

The promotion of "Truman" was a failure.

Perhaps it was the repeated encounters in the road show that made Bi Feiyu finally give up the premiere of "Truman"...

But...

No one could have imagined that when Zhang Sheng and others got off the car, countless media swarmed in.

Bi Feiyu and Zheng Xingzu were both stunned, and then looked at the young man who walked into the screening room with a smile.

Under the sun...

The young man was so dazzling and dazzling that the audience who had once angrily accused them and even threw eggs at them were actually very excited when they saw this young man walk out!

"Mr. Zhang!"

"Mr. Zhang, look at me, Mr. Zhang, look at me!"

"Mr. Zhang, that's Mr. Zhang!"

"Mr. Zhang, ah ah ah ah!"

"Mr. Zhang, can you say a few words? Please say a few words, or give a speech..."

"..."

"..."

The excited voice stimulated everyone's eardrums. After looking at the extremely excited and even crazy expressions, Bi Feiyu even felt a sense of horror from the bottom of his heart.

Behind Zhang Sheng, they seemed to be a group of foils...

When Zhang Sheng looked at these people, he was also a little stunned, but then he smiled brightly and greeted everyone one by one.

Until he walked into the cinema, the whole cinema was still lingering for a long time.

"Mr. Zhang, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Wang Jiancong, the young master of Wanda Pictures, came over excitedly and shook hands with Zhang Sheng.

After Zhang Sheng simply greeted them, a large group of brands rushed over.

"Mr. Zhang, I have a project. Mr. Zhang, can you help me? I want to cooperate with you!"

"Mr. Zhang, I've been waiting for you for nearly half a year. Mr. Zhang, I finally got you!"

"Mr. Zhang... We support you to fight with Lao Ma. Mr. Zhang, don't worry about the money. We have plenty of money! We just hope you can promote our brand!"

"..."

"..."

The brands were crazier than the audience outside. The security guards tried to block them for a long time, but still couldn't stop Zhang Sheng, whose eyes were red as if he saw the God of Wealth.

Zhang Sheng always smiled and greeted these brands one by one.

When he reached the end and was about to walk into the door, Zhang Sheng saw another group of people appearing on the aisle not far away.

"Mr. Zhang, congratulations!"

"Mr. Zhang, congratulations!"

"Mr. Zhang, I wish your movie a big hit, good luck!"

"Mr. Zhang, I've already called on my fans online to buy tickets for "Truman"!"

"Mr. Zhang..."

"..."

This world is sometimes really confusing.

Bi Feiyu and Zheng Xingzu looked at a group of stars and artists who gathered around them...

Half a month ago, their "Truman" was almost boycotted by all the people on the Internet, which once made Bi Feiyu miserable.

But...

When Mr. Zhang appeared, these artists who had just supported "Demon World" gathered around him, and some even had an almost flattering smile on their faces, which was extremely flattering.

Why is this happening?

Maybe...

It was the moment when they learned that Zhang Sheng had returned...

Or maybe, it was when they heard that Zhang Sheng had integrated two of the three major cinema chains in China and was planning to clean up [Da Di Pictures], while the rest of the capital never dared to make any statement...

Or perhaps, it was because they realized that the entertainment industry would probably usher in the era of Zhang Sheng in the future...

...

Capital, fame, talent, power...

When all these things were concentrated on this young man, everything formed a nearly explosive feedback.

Bi Feiyu also saw the organizer of "Demon World", the deputy director Steven, who also came over, and simply shook hands with Zhang Sheng and said congratulations.

…

Wherever Mr. Zhang went, it seemed that he was always the center of attention.

When everyone finally walked into the screening room, they found that the entire screening room was crowded.
