On the day of the premiere of Grandmasters.
Morning, around 9 AM in Beijing.
Hall 1 of Xianglong UME International Cineplex.
Backstage, a staff member was helping Zhang Ye put on makeup, while most of the other actors had already done their own makeup at home or at their companies to prepare for the red carpet walk. The scale of the premiere was clearly going to be quite large but as Zhang Ye did not have a management team or agency, and certainly no makeup team, he had to get the makeup artist from the film crew help him after he arrived. He was holding his cell phone in his right hand and talking to someone as his makeup was being done.
"Brother, we have arrived!" his third sister said.
Zhang Ye said, "Then come in. It's going to start soon."
His second sister snatched over the cell phone from her and said, "They are not letting us in because we don't have any tickets."
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "OK, I got it. How many of you are there?"
