China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 488 The tree dies, what’s left?
The media never wastes hot spots.

For example, this time when Gong Li lost her acting role, she immediately made headlines and even started to stir up dissension.

"Gong Li disappeared because of Chen Chong's secret trip?"

"Gong Li lost the Best Actress, and Chen Xiangqi won the Golden Horse Best Actress!"

"Gong Li did not attend the Golden Horse celebration banquet, and the celebration held by the brand he endorsed, Earl, was temporarily canceled."

"."

The next day, Gong Li's agent spoke up for Gong Li and dropped a bombshell on the Golden Horse Awards, saying directly:

"I came to the Golden Horse Awards this time, and I am particularly grateful to the Golden Horse Awards for giving me this opportunity to let me know what an unprofessional film festival is like, and an unfair film festival will make all artistic personnel look down on them."

"I will never come to this amateur film festival again. It has no meaning at all. This is my first time to come to the Golden Horse Awards, and it will also be my last time to come to the Golden Horse Awards."

This statement immediately caused an uproar.

"Hey! This is the matter."

"Director Li!"

"I understand what you mean." Li Mu sighed.

After Li Mu sighed, he finally answered the call. In fact, he knew what the caller was for when he saw the caller.

By chance, Li Bian called.

However, Li Jian didn't exchange a few words and got down to the topic.

Hou Hsiao-hsien looked at Li Bian and seemed to be making suggestions. In fact, he wanted Li Bian to see if Li Mu could be used as a middleman.

Anyway, there are various versions of speculation.

Li An could not shirk it, but Baodao was his home after all.

"If Li Mu could speak, he would be able to calm down. After all, he is in the industry, and no matter how much, everyone has to give him some face, let alone some production companies."

In fact, over the years, has the Golden Horse been fair or unfair, professional or amateur?
In view of the various embarrassing incidents that have occurred in the history of the Golden Horse Awards, everyone has their own concerns.

After all, Baodao's filmmakers still have to live. If this matter really gets into trouble, and it gets worse, it will inevitably hurt many Baodao actors and directors.

"Hey, look at what happened."

These remarks immediately aroused overt and covert confrontations in the industry between the two places. Xiangjiang and the mainland basically support Gong Li, and Baodao is naturally directly supported by Jinma.

“Holy shit, that’s awesome!!!”

However, Gong Li's defeat did cause mainland fans to question the award.

Therefore, many people speculated this time that Chen Chong would "wear small shoes" for Gong Li.

Moreover, Gong Li's accusation also led to rumors that Chen Chong, the chairman of this year's Golden Horse Awards judging panel, had a quarrel with her.

"support!"

The chairman of the judges was also involved. Whether it was Chen Chong or Zhang Sylvia, the other judges had to clarify one after another, but they could not calm down all kinds of speculations, including ignorance, malice, intolerance, and utilitarianism. .

Li Bian advised that it was also based on the relationship between the cross-strait film circles.

The 49-year-old Gong Li and the 53-year-old Chen Chong are both the top acting actresses in China, and their status in the domestic and international film circles is comparable.

In recent years, the film industry in the mainland's huge film market has been rumbling forward. Baodao cannot underestimate the film power from the mainland, and local films are still facing the dilemma of decline.

Hou Hsiao-hsien also sighed, "See if you want to find a senior director from the mainland and have a few words. Keep things within a certain scope and try not to gossip too much."

Liu Yifei also saw these words along with Li Mu. Unlike Li Mu's calm expression, Liu Yifei immediately burst into anger.

After all, a street quarrel can quickly attract onlookers from passers-by, let alone this happening in the entertainment industry.

"It's too much. Who are these people? They actually said that "The Return" is a bad movie. Gong Li's performance is just not that bad."

"Director Li, we can't let this matter continue to escalate like this. It won't be good for everyone."

It seemed that no one expected that Gong Li would fire so directly, without giving any room for it.

The incident escalated instantly, and netizens came to join in the fun one after another.

It is said that the heroine of "Painted Soul" was originally Chen Chong, but later fell into the hands of Gong Li.

When Li Jian heard Li Mu sigh, he suddenly felt bad.

Because Li Jian only had a relationship with Li Mu, he and Li Mu basically met once or twice and barely exchanged a few words.

Li Bian sighed. Although he is not the chairman of this year's Golden Horse Awards, the sudden change in the relationship between the cross-strait film circles is not a good thing for Baodao.

However, this matter became a hot topic, and as soon as it rose slightly, it became a dispute between mainland China and reported films, and a dispute between business and art.

Li Bian's voice was the same as usual, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

"let me try."

Li Mu directly told Li Xian some of the director's words, and Li Xian probably hadn't seen it yet.

It is also rumored that the role of "Red Rose" in "Red Rose and White Rose", in which Chen Chong won the Golden Horse Award, was originally Gong Li's.

But at this time, Li Mu was looking at a comment that a director had just written on Weibo, his face expressionless.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, but I think what some people said is inappropriate."

Li Bian, who was in Baodao, quickly flipped through the computer and then smiled helplessly. This was really a bit too much.

Although Zhang Yimou didn't make any sound, it was obvious that he had offended people to death.

Li Jian didn't mention this matter at all. Instead, he talked to Li Mu about other things before finally hanging up the phone.

Naturally, Li Mu would not be the peacemaker, mainly because there was no need for it. Although it is said that movies are not the Olympic Games, they do not have to have one-dimensional standards such as speed and height. Because there is no perfect art, there is no absolutely flawless awards.

However, the Golden Horse Awards have become more and more serious in recent years. This is an indisputable fact, and it would be good for them to reflect on it.

Now entering December, "Interstellar" continues to dominate the box office without competition from other blockbusters.

It has now reached the 6 million mark.

However, on December 12, "The Wheel" directed by John Woo will be released soon.

This film brings together big-name starring actors such as Zhang Ziyi, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Huang Xiaoming, Song Hye Kyo, Tong Dawei, Nagasawa Masami, etc., once again arousing everyone's strong interest in shipwreck movies.

Seeing the promotion of this movie, Li Mu suddenly remembered the money tree he bought a few days ago and hadn't sent it over yet.

Li Mu directly greeted Han Sanping and went over with the potted plants.

At this moment, Han Sanping looked at the money tree in front of him, feeling a little ridiculous.

"You said that I will give it to you while I'm in power, which has some meaning. I'm already retired. At this age, what do I need from this money tree?"

"This thing isn't just about making money."

Li Mu replied calmly. Han Jianu was also at home at the moment, squatting and groping for this plant that looked good.

"What else does that do?"

Han Sanping was a little confused. He had never heard of this thing besides the meaning of getting rich. What else could it mean?

"It looks good."

Li Mu gave a serious reply. Han Sanjing did not laugh, but Han Jianu laughed first.

"Senior brother, it's easy to understand." Han Jianu gave it a thumbs up, "But this thing is easy to take care of. My dad is not that careful, so he probably has a high chance of dying."

"That's good."

Li Mu's eyes lit up, "The tree is dead, what does it prove?"

"Prove what?"

Han San Ping and Han Jia Nu were also a little confused and did not follow Li Mu's train of thought.

"The rest is to make a fortune."

Li Mu clapped his hands and looked at the two of them with a look like "Why are you so stupid?"

"Senior brother, have you always had such a clear mind?"

Han Jia Nyeo reacted quickly, "Is this why you can make good movies and write good scripts?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense."

Han Sanjing said angrily, and then looked at Li Mu, "But your words are quite comforting."

After the money tree has been raised to death, there is still a fortune left, which really makes the person who raised the money tree a lot happy.

"By the way, senior brother, will you go to the premiere of "The Taiping Wheel" tomorrow?"

Han Jia Nyeo suddenly asked.

"I'm not going, what's wrong?"

Li Mu shook his head.

"No, if you want to go, you can take me along."

"Your dad has invested in this movie, so there's no need for me to take you along."

Li Mu didn't quite understand that "Tai Ping Wheel" was invested when Han Sanping was in power. Although he was not the main director, attending a premiere was a big deal.

Han Sanjing was also a little puzzled.

"I'm not very familiar with it. It would be boring to go by myself." Han Jia'v said lightly, "The main reason why I went is because it was invested by my father. In the past few days, he has been muttering that this is the last unreleased film he invested in. It’s a blockbuster.”

Li Mu was a little silent. Strictly speaking, "The Taiping Wheel" was indeed the last unreleased blockbuster invested by Han Sanping during his reign.

It's just that this movie is exactly the same as John Woo's messed up "Red Cliff", but "The Wheel" was not so lucky.

"From your perspective, how do you feel about this movie?"

Han Sanping seemed to have some expectations. If it was a big hit, although it would not be considered his achievement, his face would be bright.

"Although I haven't seen it, to be honest, I'm not very optimistic about John Woo directing this kind of subject."

Li Mu shook his head, "He is good at violent aesthetics, not such disaster-type themes. Moreover, the audience also has expectations. If it is not as good as "Titanic", a large part of the audience will be dissuaded. "

"Then I'd better not go to the premiere."

Han Jianu sneered and quickly backed down.

Hearing Han Jia'v's words, Han Sanping and Li Mu just smiled and didn't care.

However, contrary to Li Mu's disapproval, LeTV Pictures is quite optimistic about this movie.

He even signed a contract with a guaranteed price of 8 million to release two parts of "Taiping Wheel" (Part + Part ), preparing to make a big profit.

This matter has spread throughout the industry.

However, the industry still believes that LeTV will not have any problem making money, even if it means making a lot of money.

The two movies above and below still have so many big-name actors together. Although director John Woo is not at his peak, as a director who has successfully gone abroad, he still has some guarantee of strength.

Moreover, the box office of Chinese-language movies has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. It is not difficult for an average movie to exceed 4 million. Therefore, both the audience, the media, and industry personnel have great expectations for the movie.
