Chapter 569: Still Anti-War? Bullshit!

To talk about the premiere of *The Crossing*, it was indeed gorgeous.

Several production parties, in order to be worthy of the 500 million production cost and the gimmick of "war love epic blockbuster."

They directly raised the specification of the premiere to the level of a gala and awards ceremony, and the location was set at the Meilanfang Grand Theater.

As the name suggests, there will be a lot of performances and sharing sessions at the premiere. It involves that special era of war and the inner journey of the creators during the filming of the film.

Outside the Grand Theater, it can be said to be a sea of people. The scale of the red carpet and guests today is second only to *Interstellar* twenty days ago.

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei walked on the red carpet, the person in front was Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun.

Media reporters were busy taking pictures, while the vast crowd of onlookers and fans was very noisy.

They kept shouting the names of actors and stars, waving support signs.

It can be seen that in the starring lineup, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Song Hye-kyo have the highest popularity and the most supporters, followed by Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Ziyi.

Of course, the number of people shouting Liu Yifei's name has also increased instantly at this moment, and Liu is waving with a smile.

"I say, you two walk faster." Jiang Wen urged from afar.

"What's the rush, it's not like they are serving food inside."

Lin Nan joked, and Liu Yifei was amused.

When the two walked to the front, Jiang Wen put his arm around Lin Nan's shoulder, "On the 16th of next month..."

"Sorry, can't go."

"I haven't finished speaking yet and you refused, not giving face so much?"

"My flight on the 15th, flying to Hollywood."

This time Jiang Wen had nothing to say, and Zhou Yun smiled and opened her mouth, "Then record a VCR, hehe..."

……

Inside the Grand Theater, La Peikang, Han Sanping, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, Zhang Zhao, and others are the absolute core.

And the new chairman of Xiaoma who successfully usurped the throne, almost no one paid attention to her. Because everyone knows that Xiaoma today is not qualified to be on the table!

"How come I don't see a crew creator?"

"It is estimated that they are all waiting in the backstage; today is not the usual premiere mode, it is estimated that after the official start, they will be invited to the stage one by one."

Lin Nan looked at the environment inside the Grand Theater and explained to Liu Yifei.

"Lin Dao, Yifei, you are over here."

Han Jiamei waved to the two in front.

"Go, let's sit over there first. *The Crossing* occasion, there is no social obligation, just sit there and watch."

The first row is the position of the production party and the creative team, and the guests are from the second row.

"How come you ran out? Didn't *The Mermaid* only film one-third?"

Liu Yifei took the snacks handed by Han Jiamei and asked curiously.

"Ask for leave. You don't know, Zhou Xingchi is too scary on the set, and he is very fierce when he gets angry and scolds people. Still Lin Dao, Senior Brother Guo Fan are easy to talk to."

Here the three were chatting, and people outside were constantly coming in. They were all guided to sit down directly.

About an hour later, the different *The Crossing* premiere began.

The first program was a group of children under five years old singing on stage, wearing the clothes of the school in the Republic of China era.

Immediately after, more than a dozen pairs of men and women, wearing suits and skirts of the upper class of that era, danced ballroom dances.

One by one, the opening programs were all from that era.

……

"It is a bit different." Liu Yifei nodded and said.

"They are all facade work, fancy. It reminds me of *The Promise* premiere back then, which was also so 'different', but what was the result?"

Lin Nan bit Liu Yifei's ear and said.

"Public occasion, you two pay attention. The film channel is broadcasting live throughout, be careful of being filmed..."

Han Jiamei rolled her eyes and complained.

Following the host's invitation one by one, the creators came up from the backstage.

Huang Xiaoming and Song Hye-kyo as a pair, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Zhang Ziyi hand in hand... Tong Dawei, Masami Nagasawa, Hitomi Kuroki, Qin Hailu, Yu Feihong...

Don't say, there are really many Japanese actors!

Old-fashioned questions, asking Huang Xiaoming, between Song Hye-kyo and Angelababy, which one he would fall in love with at first sight...

Talking on stage, one moment Chinese, one moment Korean, one moment Japanese...

Liu Yifei and Han Jiamei were chatting in a low voice, and Lin Nan was also wandering outside, just waiting to watch the bad film!

Suddenly, many people looked over.

Lin Nan was still a bit at a loss for a moment, "What's wrong?"

"Lin Dao, the actor on stage accepted an interview and said he wanted to cooperate with you, so the camera gave it to you, and you were still distracted..."

Liu Yifei reminded in a low voice on the side, her lips didn't even move, only Lin Nan could hear clearly.

Lin Nan suddenly realized, he looked at the stage, not knowing who Liu Yifei was talking about.

"Lin Dao, Ms. Song said she hopes to have the opportunity to participate in your film in the future."

Huang Xiaoming reacted quickly, saw Lin Nan's situation, and took the initiative to explain.

Song Hye-kyo on the side was indeed looking at him with a smile, and then said a string of Korean that Lin Nan couldn't understand.

But in this situation, whatever it means can be guessed, Lin Nan directly shouted: "Look at fate."

Lin Nan knows clearly that although he only went to South Korea once, his fame there is really great!

John Woo took the microphone, stood on the stage and pretended to be forceful for a while, and then the film officially started.

"Xixi, look carefully, tell me your thoughts after watching later."

Lin Nan joked, who told Liu Yifei she wanted to see where it was bad.

"Hmph, you wait."

Inside the Grand Theater, everyone was very quiet, only the sound of the film.

Han Sanping in the first row turned his head with a confident smile and gave Lin Nan a look, feeling like he was "winning."

Lin Nan admits that the art color and camera movement of this film are very delicate, truly restoring the war-torn and upper-class drunken life of that era.

But the biggest problem with *The Crossing* is exactly the same as *Red Cliff* back then.

John Woo, who was once famous for "violent aesthetics," can no longer see his "violent aesthetics."

After that kind of large-scale war in *The Crossing* ended, although the battlefield was full of corpses, no blood or broken limbs could be seen...

Just like what was written in the opening subtitles: Rather than dedicating life to war, it is better to dedicate it to love...

It's really bullshit!

*The Crossing* is exactly the same as *Red Cliff*, the background is the war era, praising so-called love, but the real core is still "anti-war"!

*Red Cliff* is anti-war in the Three Kingdoms, isn't it ridiculous?

And *The Crossing* is anti-war against the background of anti-Japanese and liberation wars; isn't this bullshit?

Two hours of film, making people sleepy.

"Lin Nan, it's so chaotic? I don't know what it wants to say, it feels like the center is a bit drifting..."

"Hmm, that's right."

Following others, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei also applauded.

Han Sanping turned his head excitedly, "Lin Nan, how is it?"

"You'd better wait for the film to be released and ask the audience. I won't express my opinion, haha..."

Lin Nan saw it, Han Sanping's cognition of "blockbuster" has not improved in all these years.

He is still indulging in big directors, big investment, big scenes, big lineup, big special effects. The core of the script story, he doesn't care at all!

No one at the scene had a different view, everyone was saying "good."

……

"Lin Dao, this is Hye-kyo's business card, if there is a casting opportunity in the company in the future, you can call at any time. Salary and those are not things..."

The female agent led this very popular South Korean artist to Lin Nan, Song Hye-kyo lowered her head with a smile, saying something like please?

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei beside him, but she turned her head away in an instant and found something to talk about with Han Jiamei.

And little Han classmate had a playful expression, staring at Lin Nan.

"Alright then." Lin Nan took it.

"Thank you Lin Dao, thank you."

A string of Korean, Lin Nan couldn't understand, but the tone was joyful. Then the two ran towards Jiang Wen.

"Yo yo yo, there are other gains coming today."

Han Jiamei's yin and yang tone is really annoying.

Lin Nan picked up Liu Yifei's bag and stuffed the business card in, "I don't have a pocket, Xixi, put it in yours."

"Hmm, okay."

Liu Yifei hummed, with many little expressions.

"Lin Dao."

"Chairman Wang?"

Seeing Wang Zhonglei coming to find Lin Nan, Han Jiamei and Liu Yifei walked away, because both knew there must be something.

"Lin Dao, are Huayi's stocks so hot?"

Good guy, discovered so quickly?

Lin Nan knew that his shareholding has always been the focus of Huayi's attention, since the first sell-off.

Because his existence has also added a lot to Huayi to some extent.

If the day of clearing the warehouse really comes, it will definitely not be hidden from the outside world, and it is very likely to have some impact on Huayi's stock price.

"Going to get married, the spending is a bit big, cashing out this piece is faster."

Wang Zhonglei didn't speak with a smile, who doesn't know that Lin Nan Film Industry is one of the companies with the least lack of money in the film and television circle? More cash than many listed companies! This month's box office share of nearly 300 million belonging to Lin Nan Film Industry must have arrived!

"Hehe, then it really needs a lot of spending, after all, Lin Dao and Yifei getting married, it certainly can't be stingy. Since this is the case, I won't disturb Lin Dao."

Without saying a word, Wang Zhonglei turned and walked towards Wang Zhongjun, the latter glanced at Lin Nan, a bit indifferent.

Wang Zhonglei just left, and the new chairman of Xiaoma Pentium came again.

……

After the premiere of *The Crossing (Part 1)* ended, that afternoon, overwhelming reports appeared on the internet.

Not a single bad review, all press releases like "epic blockbuster," "Eastern *Titanic*," etc., really attracted a large number of film fans' desire to watch!

As for what kind of "epic blockbuster" it is? That will have to wait until December 2nd to go to the cinema to see it yourself.

November finally arrived on the last day, Liu's best friend was already a bit impatient to @ her on Weibo...
