The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1124 - 1093: Success, With Other Plans

Almost all the invited actors had arrived, and walking at the end were the main creators of "Tai Chi Grandmaster," including the lead actor Li Xian, the beautiful actress Wang Zinan, along with some veteran actors, the director, and others.

They were the stars of the day, and as the host introduced them, they were greeted with cheers and applause.

It wasn’t until everyone had entered the cinema that the host invited the reporters to join and watch the movie, inviting these celebrities was also to attract these journalists, hoping they would look forward to the movie and watch it attentively.

Some reporters had already sensed that this was a very good story and quickly handed their scheduled rolls of film to their assistants, hastily wrote a few brief messages, and had their assistants take them back to report at the earliest.

Those without assistants could only follow inside and wait until after the movie to come back and report.

If they had known the movie was so spectacular in advance, they certainly would have rushed to bring back the information first.

Every invited guest took their seat, feeling the thrill.

For ordinary people, this might be a lively scene where they could see their favorite actors and stars, but for these experienced actors, it was an exceptionally great experience, much like what they occasionally see in foreign reports.

Walking the red carpet...

Earlier, it was only out of respect for face that they could not refuse, but now they looked enviously at the main creators seated in front of them.

Being able to go to such lengths for a show, perhaps their movie wasn’t bad, and they were very much looking forward to it.

Tang Qian, as the main investor, stepped forward to speak, thanking everyone for their presence and also appreciating the hard work of the creators.

After his humorous and amusing thank-you speech, Qi Xiaoyan came on stage to sing the theme song live, delighting everyone with a feast for the ears.

"Didn’t expect Tang Qian to be so impressive!" He Tiantian whispered to Huo Yingjie, "Investing in Tang Qian is sure to earn big!"

Not only does he have brains but also extensive connections, and most importantly, a vast scope of operation.

With such a person engaged in the entertainment business, he is bound to receive enormous returns in the future.

Huo Yingjie smiled and said softly, "Hehe, you can relax completely. Your investment will indeed bring huge returns in the future."

Huo Yingjie knew that in Tang Qian’s previous life, his entertainment company had dominated half the industry with a market value in the hundreds of billions, a famous company in Huaxia Country, producing many films and TV shows every year with many popular artists under its wing.

"Seeing all this, I’m indeed reassured," He Tiantian smiled, "Apart from you, Tang Qian is the most capable businessman in Huaxia Country. Luckily, he has reformed. Look at those actresses, all flocking around Tang Qian, those glances, oh dear, when I get back, I need to remind Zhengmin about him, to make her aware and wary of any mischief Tang Qian might engage in outside."

Now that Qi Zhengmin had had a child, He Tiantian could no longer constantly talk about divorce, but as someone who had been through it all, she still needed to offer a warning, to prevent her sister from being disadvantaged.

After hearing this, Huo Yingjie felt that giving Tang Qian a bit of trouble was a pleasing task, and said, "If you think it’s necessary, then do so, can’t let Tang Qian get too proud."

"Exactly, can’t let him get too cocky," He Tiantian said, looking at Tang Qian’s charming face which attracted many women, with a strong distaste.

However, seeing that Tang Qian had behaved appropriately today, He Tiantian would only objectively describe the situation without exaggeration.

Qi Zhengmin had caught a cold and was absent from today’s premiere. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Otherwise, He Tiantian wouldn’t have needed to go to such lengths.

After several performances, the screening room went dark, and the movie was immediately about to start.

The Tang Entertainment Company logo appeared on the big screen, followed by an exciting opening. As the camera zoomed out, it captured an aerial view of beautiful landscapes like mountains and rivers, while a narrator began introducing the story’s background and main characters.

One minute later, the camera zoomed in, beginning the story’s opening.

A young boy was being bullied but encountered a highly skilled master. He then secretly practiced martial arts and gradually became an expert, finally defeating his sect members who bullied him. Later, when foreign invaders attacked, he fought them bravely and resolutely.

The story was quite generic, but the plot was extremely tight, and the fight scenes were very smooth, especially when the boy, based on his sect’s martial arts, created a new form of martial arts—Tai Chi—and became a grandmaster of his generation.

The martial arts were fluid, with grandiose movements. The characters looked spectacular, and the mountains and waters were beautiful. Many innovative filming techniques were employed, opening a new Chapter in Huaxia Country’s cinema.

Everyone was exclaiming and praising as they followed the plot.

From everyone’s expressions and the reactions of film critics, He Tiantian was certain this movie would be a hit.

Reporters weren’t allowed to take photos and could only take out their notebooks and begin drafting in the dark, prepared to send their pieces to the press as soon as the movie ended.

After the movie finished, the creators stood on stage and bowed to the audience, who all stood up and clapped enthusiastically.

This was not the perfunctory applause of earlier; it came from the heart.

The premiere was very successful. Following it, the film was released in major cinemas nationwide.

Some people heard tickets were available and saw the movie more than once because once just wasn’t enough.

Even though many did not watch it a second time, there was still much discussion.

Almost all journalists rushed back immediately; some journalists had their assistants send the films back in advance and had already begun layout for the evening newspapers where reports would be seen.

Although Tang Qian spent some money, this premiere indeed had great newsworthiness, and journalists naturally provided extensive coverage.

Yuan Hua’s magazine covered not only the red carpet walk but also extensively analyzed the actors’ makeup and clothes, shoes, etc., while simultaneously reporting on the movie and showcasing fashion information on the streets.

In summary, this was a successful beginning.

That evening, as everyone gathered together, Tang Qian drank a few too many glasses of wine and collapsed, clearly ecstatic.

In the days following, a Tai Chi craze swept the nation, with many watching the movie multiple times, attracted by the martial arts displayed.

The box office sales for "Tai Chi Grandmaster" soared impressively.

Tang Qian, He Tiantian, and others were thrilled, closely watching the box office results.

A week later, Tang Qian and Qi Zhengmin, bringing their kids and two bottles of fine red wine, came to He Tiantian’s house to celebrate.

However, Tang Qian had a purpose for this visit.

"Tiantian, I heard there’s going to be a sports exchange between the national swimming team and the Hong Kong swimming team, is that right?" Tang Qian asked with a smile, his expression clearly having an ulterior motive.

"Yes!" He Tiantian nodded, "It’s in half a month. It’s ostensibly for business, but it’s actually political. You’re definitely not just here for a visit. You must have other ideas, right?"

Qi Zhengmin smiled and handed her husband half an apple, saying, "Just speak your mind. Don’t beat around the bush with Sister Tiantian, making her guess and wonder."
