Chapter 1132: Taking an Unconventional Path

More than a month after the end of the year, the entertainment industry has begun the new year's 'competition'. What puzzles all the media is that Chen Hao, who made a big splash at the Spring Festival Gala, once again went 'missing'. Some people said they had seen him in the border areas, some said they had seen him on the plateau. There were different opinions but no accurate answer. Some media also sent people to look for him. They all thought he was pregnant with something big. If they could find out the news as soon as possible, It is completely ahead in terms of news materials. Today's entertainment news has a common understanding. News related to Chen Hao has received the highest attention. No one.

In the new year's work plan, artists, like all company employees, have also begun their own journey of struggle. Chen Hao's sudden disappearance surprised everyone and gave them more ideas to speed up the pace. , he has been so far ahead of us, and now he has finally stopped. Should we take this opportunity to catch up more? Maybe when he returns, we can already see his back.

As the release date of "Forrest Gump" is getting closer and closer, people in the Happy Reunion era can't sit still. Now the rumors are going crazy outside, and various theories are emerging. There are rumors that this film will finally be released. It failed to pass the review and the release was to be postponed. Chen Hao just hid out. Otherwise, no matter how big the matter is, can it be as big as this? Why doesn't he show up to promote it? Look at other films. They all start promoting all over the country many days in advance. How about you? There is no news about you worldwide. Is something else going on?

There are also rumors that something happened to Chen Hao. He may have tax problems. He is in Yanjing now, but he just doesn’t leave home. This matter will eventually be handled in a low-key manner, and when everyone gradually forgets who Chen Hao is , a formal investigation will be conducted against him.

There are different opinions, and the artists of the Happy Reunion Era have become the target of everyone's inquiries. The whereabouts of Xiao Di have caused various media to try their best to find. At the beginning, the way the Happy Reunion Era was set up was very simple, that is, everyone hides first, which is just right. Take this opportunity to ferment, wait until everyone's curiosity is aroused, explain it when you go out, and give everyone a comfort pill. No matter how many people believe it, at least you people have attracted a strong wave of attention and paid attention at this stage. There will be a lot of people among you, which is also a benefit of being an artist in the company.

Xiao Di was the last one to be interviewed. Facing the expectant looks and gazes of many media reporters, Xiao Di, who was at the airport, smiled slightly: "I think I don't need to answer this question."

Chen Hao, who had been away for more than forty days, had grown a short beard. He didn't trim it in particular. He just let the beard grow naturally. He hadn't shaved for several days, and his whole person looked a bit more aged. A unique charm that has not been seen in any media.

Black sneakers, worn jeans, a pure white cotton T-shirt, and a gray windbreaker. His hair was much longer, and he simply wiped it back with hair wax. The overall feeling of vicissitudes of life was a bit decadent. Full of the atmosphere of an art practitioner, it was completely different from the previous temperament. This gave all the media at the scene a feeling of surprise. I didn't expect that Chen Hao could have such a side. As an artist, I'm afraid Your style has remained unchanged over the years. Not only the media has seen enough of you, but your fan base also hopes that you can bring you more surprises. Ekin Cheng is a model of this. The role of Chen Haonan has become his label, and he will never care about it after that. After many years, this label cannot be removed. Everyone thinks that he can only play similar roles, and anything else he plays will be nondescript. The lack of breakthrough in his acting skills is one thing, and his own temperament has never departed from what he showed when he played Chen Haonan. The temperament that comes out.

No matter how the media competed, Xiaodi was the first to come into contact with Chen Hao. Holding her in his arms, Chen Hao took off his sunglasses, and the vicissitudes of life in his eyes were stronger than the image.

"Haozi, what have you been doing for more than a month? Can you tell your fans about it?"

Take it as it comes. When you suddenly disappear for a while, it is a unique kind of happiness and pride to get such attention when you come out again. If you really come out, few people will pay attention to you. Walking in public is like Like ordinary people, if one or two people occasionally point at you but don't come up to you to sign or take photos with you excitedly, then your sense of loss will be even stronger.

"I did something I wanted to do. It was a purely personal act. What I can share with you is that this time it allowed me to truly let my heart fly. If the movie hadn't been released soon, this time would have been extended."

"What are your expectations for the new film?"

"Just let nature take its course. I have done everything I can, and the rest is beyond my control."

"Did you give up promoting the new film because of personal matters?"

"No, I don't plan to carry out large-scale publicity, because private matters do have a little impact, but not much."

"Are you that confident?"

Chen Hao smiled: "Of course, if a director has no confidence in his own work, how can he present it to the audience."

After answering this question, he moved his head slightly and looked to the side. Kang Yan and Chen Gang understood immediately and asked the security guards in front to escort Chen Hao away from the scene. He simply answered a few questions and announced that he had returned. Chen Hao felt that it was enough and there was no need to continue. All the hot spots were actually the popularity of your works. Once you fail, you will slowly lose popularity. So he still likes to stand up and be liked by the audience when the works are cheered.

The car drove directly to the company. Most of the crew members had already gone to the United States. After all, "Forrest Gump" was a Hollywood-based film. There were not many Chinese members in the crew. The American side was already anxious. The Chinese members went there just to appease everyone.

After understanding the situation and video chatting with the American side, Chen Hao returned home. When the elevator door opened, Chen Hao couldn't help but take a deep breath. The taste of home came. No matter when, home is always the most comfortable. When you want to remove all disguises, here, you will be provided with the most comfortable scene.

Chen Yu had prepared in advance at home, hot spicy hot pot soup base, various ingredients, she would be in Yanjing most of the time now, it was like her brother was home, and she could reunite with Kang Yan.

For more than 40 days, it was nonsense to say that the stomach was lacking in oil and water, and it was not necessarily to say that the taste buds were treated badly along the way, but when they returned home, the three of them ate this meal especially deliciously, wearing the most comfortable home clothes, you can eat in the way you like and are used to. Here you will be free of all the constraints on your body, no need to be tense, do whatever you want.

After a long and comfortable sleep, the three of them got up the next morning and thought of the same thing. They jogged for 40 minutes in the community, and their muscles and bones were relaxed. They packed up and went to the airport to fly to the United States. On March 25th, US time, "Forrest Gump" was scheduled for a weekend premiere in a not-so-good schedule, and was screened on 5,000 screens across the United States. If Chen Hao had not been holding back with the distribution company, as long as he wanted, it would not be difficult to get a premiere screen number of a super commercial blockbuster. It would have won the weekly box office championship in the first week, and all aspects would give it face.

Knowing that "Forrest Gump" is not a commercial film, it is hard to say whether it can replicate "The Shawshank Redemption", but in the route planned by Chen Hao, no matter what kind of success it can achieve, the premise is to rely on word of mouth to slowly ferment, so that those who think it is good are willing to introduce it to others as a good movie, so that everyone will be mentally prepared when they enter the cinema. There will be no elements of commercial films in it. If you don't have enough patience, you may not be able to watch it for two hours.

Chen Hao has long been accustomed to being surrounded at the airport, and has started to have more ways to get in and out. Other artists can walk directly from the underground parking lot to the place to exchange boarding passes at the airport in big cities, and at most some people will take pictures and shout a few words on the way, but he can't do that. As long as he shows up, he will be surrounded by people around him in an instant. The madness of chasing stars in the past has been doubled in him. Every time, the airport security needs to cooperate with the people around him to escort him all the way to the first-class and business-class waiting rooms, and then he will board the plane after all the passengers on the flight have boarded. When getting off the plane, he will be the first to get off the plane.

"Forrest Gump" has no publicity, but it has become its biggest publicity. Everyone knows that it is the work of MOUSE. What exactly this movie will look like has not been released until a trailer is released. Mystery will certainly attract more people's curiosity, but it will also be criticized as being deliberately mysterious. If you can't achieve a good enough effect, this mystery will be interpreted as you are covering up the bad of your work.

After more than 40 days of condolence life, I traveled along the border of the motherland and saw many different folk customs and cultural landscapes from the common ones in life. I also encountered more things. When I went to see some things again, I found that there were fewer jumping thoughts and more calm treatment.

When he got off the plane, Saoirse Ronan, Meryl Streep and a group of "Forrest Gump" creators were waiting for him. We accepted that there was no pre-promotion, and there was no premiere ceremony, but they should take us to meet the media. We can ignore the attention, but we have put so much effort into this film, and we still hope that it can get more attention and let more people see our performance in the play.

As a result, Chen Hao made a decision as soon as he got off the plane that surprised everyone.

He booked a hall, a screening room that can accommodate 400 people. In addition to the more than 20 main creators of the crew, he invited all the remaining seats to the most demanding film critics, media reporters, magazine reporters and filmmakers in the Hollywood circle. In short, he invited all the demanding groups in the circle that can happen on the public platform, and they all confirmed that they would come.
