"Why don't you mention Qi Hao? He's made more films behind your back, and now he's still competing with our movie."

Mr. Ge felt very wronged.

"Aren't I just waiting for our new movie to beat mine?"

Qi Hao felt even more wronged.

"Uncle" is currently delayed, entering its second month of screening.

With the movie's box office triumph in other countries and regions, it has sparked a wave of excitement domestically.

The word of mouth continues to ferment, with daily box office figures remaining high.

If it weren't delayed, that'd truly be outrageous.

This year, Qi Hao has made so many box office hits that theaters treat him like a god.

Industry workers are getting hefty year-end bonuses.

Poor "The Orphan of Zhao," released half a month after "Uncle," still couldn't match "Uncle's" daily box office after half a month.

They don't even have the face to market being second in daily box office.

Now "Let the Bullets Fly" is out, another half month later, assuredly surpassing their daily box office.

And it's almost holiday season, with many new films set to release.

"The Orphan of Zhao" is completely finished.

If it surpasses a hundred million, that'd be decent, about on par with the previous "Mei Lanfang."

Saying it could surpass "Mei Lanfang" seems to overestimate Poet Chen a bit.

Jiang Wen gives no face to Chen Kaige, targeting him specifically with a sly smile: "We said the three of us would join Dou Wentao's 'Behind the Headlines,' is Kaige still going?"

Chen Kaige has some... a little bit of confidence in "The Orphan of Zhao."

Going up against Jiang Wen's release at the same time, he's unfazed.

No shame in being on the show together then.

He just didn't expect to underperform so much, while Jiang Wen, initially lacking confidence, grew increasingly assured.

Chen Kaige didn't attend the premiere today but still kept a close eye on "Let the Bullets Fly."

Things don't seem promising.

"At worst, let's bring Qi Hao along, the three of us can go on the show."

Ge You has a strong ability to adapt.

"I'm so young..."

Qi Hao instantly chimed in, holding his own in conversations with these older guys.

Implying, I'm youthful and energetic, how could I be hanging out with you old timers?

"You've been in the industry for thirteen years."

Ge You retorted.

"Must've altered the age."

Jiang Wen added fuel to the fire.

"Shameless!"

The two simultaneously concluded.

"Hey, who do you think has better acting skills, Liang Chaowei or Ge You?"

Jiang Wen inquired with Liu Jialin.

Liu Jialin, one of the lead actresses, was naturally attending the premiere, though her husband didn't come.

It's rumored her husband permanently resides in Neon and has a woman there.

Meanwhile, Liu Jialin permanently resides in Xiangjiang.

Their relationship is very detached, each doing their own thing, so Liang Chaowei definitely wouldn't come to support her.

Unlike An Feng and Qi Hao, who are almost inseparable.

Liu Jialin, when passively discussing Liang Chaowei, immediately showed a shy smile:

"They are both the best leading men in my mind. However, I think Mr. Ge's range is broader, he can play anything, while my husband excels more in playing passionate roles."

Ge You promptly replied: "Actually, I can't play many roles, for example, I can't play handsome guys. Your husband is really cool, often with that kind of look, expressionless but piercing through to the heart."

While speaking, Ge You imitated Liang Chaowei's iconic expression.

"Master, your look is quite tender too."

Jiang Wen gave a comment, reminiscing on how he and Ge You had shared intimate scenes in a previous film.

"I haven't even met Liang Chaowei yet," Ge You lamented, saying: "I'd love to make a movie with him, but it would have to be a really good script."

These masters won't compete lightly.

Not unless it's an especially good platform, at least a buddy film type.

"Why are you so greedy, working with me isn't enough, you want Liang Chaowei too..."

Liang Jiahui wonders if there's something lacking in his service.

"It's all coming, one by one..."

Ge You chuckled heartily.

"Let's stop boasting about ourselves, Qi Hao's acting is quite impressive too, and key is he's still so young."

Liang Jiahui was introduced to the cast by Qi Hao.

This is the rumor among industry insiders, and even Jiang Wen says so, making Liang Jiahui extremely grateful to Qi Hao.

"I've adjusted my age; I just look young," Qi Hao used the joke from earlier, giving a cold snort, "I'm the same age as Jiang Wu."

"Today, let's not discuss age, just acting skills!"

Jiang Wu protested.

It's not my fault for looking old.

You should joke about Jiang Wen instead, he's my brother after all.

"I don't fear actors stealing the spotlight, I'm the director; whoever steals it gets cut, but this time Jiang Wu's Martial Scholar is clumsy outside yet cunning inside, surviving to the very end, my scissors couldn't come down."

Jiang Wen had no qualms about complimenting his brother.

Jiang Wu's portrayal of the Martial Scholar turned out to be a pleasant surprise, he never expected his brother to interpret the role so perfectly.

Media and actors also interacted at the scene.

"Qi Hao played a Fake Mazi, essentially a fake Jiang Wen, but you two share barely any common traits, why not have Jiang Wu play Fake Mazi and let Qi Hao portray the Martial Arts Champion Scholar?"

"Actually, this Fake Mazi was intended by someone who never met Zhang Mazi, so they don't need to be similar. The part was small, and Qi Hao couldn't fit a more significant role into his schedule."

Jiang Wen briefly explained.

"Fake Mazi is quite interesting, I really like this character, this figure has a rich story, but unfortunately, due to limited screen time, his part was quite small."

Qi Hao expressed his regret.

"You funded it, why not ask for more scenes!"

Ge You immediately added.

"I think the amount of screen time is just right; after all, you're one of the three main leads, but in the end, you still die by my hand."

Qi Hao was referring to the movie's plot.

"I... had plenty of screen time!"

Ge You thought it through, that really was the case, not only did he get killed, his eight-year-old son got sawed down to the height of a wife, and the wife died of fright on the spot.

The entire family perished at this Fake Mazi's hands.

"What about your backside?"

Qi Hao helped create a talking point at the event, ensuring that when the media writes this up, everyone will be curious about what exactly transpired between Ge You and Qi Hao on screen.

Why did he do such heinous things to Ge You's character, and what excessive actions did he take regarding Ge You's backside?

After all, the worst thing in film promotion is a lack of topic.

Today's topics were overflowing.

It wasn't until the very end that everyone was invited to start watching the movie.

Actually, outside theaters had already started showing the film when the premiere began.

Attendees of the premiere kind of lost out.

They got to watch Qi Hao blow out birthday candles and cut the cake, while people outside already saw the movie.

By the time Qi Hao's group started watching, discussions were already blooming online.

Some people just have an unstoppable urge to express themselves.

Godly work!

Epic production!

It seems only such words suffice to convey the live audience's praise for the movie.

Those who hadn't seen the movie immediately chuckled.

Just half a month ago, Chen Kaige put out an "epic production" called "The Orphan of Zhao."

No, not put out, but pulled out.

Goodness gracious, you guys are getting addicted, huh? Not even a few days have passed, and here comes another "epic production."

The cinema has become a public toilet for directors, hasn't it?

One after the other brings out "epic productions."
