Chapter 1762: Chapter 1656: Premiere Begins

The name of the movie starring Chen Mengjie this time, after passing the review by the Broadcasting Bureau, was finalized as "Love in the Flames of War". The story tells of the poignant love story between the heroine played by Chen Mengjie and the male lead during the wartime era.

Of course, Song Yun expressed that he would not be jealous of this kind of love story, because the male and female leads in the movie showcase a spiritual level of love rather than physical love like many films today, where every film involves constant kissing and some even involving scenes inappropriate for children. Although many are just actions, watching them makes Song Yun blush, hence he internally despises these films, especially when he sees them using those scenes specifically to create trailers, which makes him despise them even more.

This darn film is shot like a romantic action film, is it selling a movie or selling people?

This "Love in the Flames of War" is Director Feng Gang’s masterpiece, and the screenwriter is an exceptional talent, Tang Xiaochuan, who was once nominated for the Oscar for Best Screenplay. Two top experts joining hands, this movie’s appeal is immense, and it has become Song Yun’s entertainment company’s most prioritized movie in recent times.

According to Feng Gang, this movie will be both critically acclaimed and a box office hit. During the preview screenings, many film critics gave high evaluations, calling it one of Shen Zhou’s rare masterpieces in recent years. Whether in terms of story plot, filming technique, or computer effects, it has reached Hollywood’s top standards, and it’s even rumored that this movie will participate in this year’s Oscar competition.

Naturally, all these things require Song Yun to arrange with his team.

The movie’s premiere was held at the Workers’ Gymnasium in Beijing, and for this premiere, Song Yun’s entertainment company spent lavishly, inviting a bunch of A-list stars.

Song Yun arrived early at the gymnasium with Chen Mengjie to check the venue work, and then at noon, he took Chen Mengjie to his entertainment company to have lunch with several company heads responsible for the promotion and production of the movie. Afterward, they attended a press conference; all this was something Song Yun hadn’t really dealt with before, he just followed Chen Mengjie around. Initially, Song Yun was reluctant to come, but Chen Mengjie said that this was a rare excellent film of hers, so she hoped Song Yun would show some support.

Song Yun naturally couldn’t refuse.

After the press conference, they had dinner with Feng Gang and some other crew members. Song Yun was quite familiar with Feng Gang, but not so much with the others. However, these crew members knew that the person holding Chen Mengjie was the investor for this movie and a renowned figure in Beijing, so they showed deep respect to Song Yun.

The actor playing alongside Chen Mengjie was overly eager to toast Song Yun, while explaining that he absolutely didn’t perform any intimate actions with Chen Mengjie in the film; their entire relationship was purely Platonic, with no physical actions.

Song Yun naturally understood that this actor was afraid he’d get jealous and cause trouble, so he comforted the actor for a bit.

After dinner, the premiere at the Workers’ Gymnasium was almost ready, so Song Yun took Chen Mengjie, Feng Gang, that actor, the screenwriter, making a total of five people, to the Workers’ Gymnasium.

Outside the gymnasium, a red carpet was already laid out, a show before the premiere, where many invited celebrities would walk, partly to attract attention, and also to make the scene look more grand and trendy.

Song Yun and his party of five arrived in a business car, just a regular Mercedes. As soon as they got out of the car, the screams from the scene never ceased.

"Chen Mengjie, I love you."

"Chen Mengjie, I would die for you."

The fans surrounding Chen Mengjie screamed themselves hoarse.

Chen Mengjie walked the red carpet holding Song Yun’s hand, her face wearing a friendly smile, waving to the people beside her.

The group quickly reached the end of the red carpet, where a host first interviewed Chen Mengjie, and then Feng Gang, but as for Song Yun, with a wave of his hand, the host automatically skipped over him.

Each of them signed their names on a wall, and then the group walked into the Workers’ Gymnasium.

By that time, the gymnasium was already packed.

The premiere tickets were sold to the public, and they were long sold out. Moreover, this premiere was done in partnership with the Phoenix Love Foundation. The proceeds from ticket sales were entirely donated to the Phoenix Love Foundation, which would use the money to help those in need in impoverished areas.

These arrangements were all made by people under Song Yun, which counts as publicity but is also a good deed.

In this regard, Song Yun greatly admires someone named Chen Xiaobiao, known as Shen Zhou’s number one philanthropist. Although every charitable act of his is highly publicized, at least in Song Yun’s eyes, since Chen Xiaobiao did the deeds, there’s nothing wrong with him publicizing them, especially compared to some people who self-righteously criticize others for showboating but when it comes to donating even a few hundred yuan, they are stingier than a miser.

These are the people Song Yun despises the most.

Charity should be done, but doing charity while simultaneously enhancing one’s fame to earn more money, thus being able to do more charity, what’s wrong with that?

The premiere was extraordinarily grand, with many stars performing on stage, and even Chen Mengjie went up to sing the theme song of the movie.

While on this side there’s a scene of peace and prosperity, over in Siberia.

A small town.

In fact, it’s more of a small village than a town.

Many bearded blonde Russians lived in this village, living their lives like ordinary people.

In this village, there is an estate, built by a person from Shen Zhou, a place of extreme luxury, and many villagers work for this Shen Zhou person. This Shen Zhou person is extremely generous, offering very high wages to those who work for him. However, once inside the estate, it takes a long time before they can come out, but every month, the families of those who work there receive a large sum of money. So, although they haven’t seen their family members for a long time, the villagers don’t really mind, after all, earning more money is always good.
