Sina Entertainment News

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 7 (Part 20)" received rave reviews and broke world box office records during its premiere.

"From July 2011 to July 7, 15, local time, the "final chapter of the magical world dream" Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 7 had the highest opening performance in film history of approximately $17 million, and it stood high above the North American box office charts like a god."

“Many box office records set by Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight and Chiyou Pictures’ Twilight have become history.”

Tim, who was far away in Los Angeles, also called Li Chen.

"Boss, the single-day and first-day box office records created by our "Twilight Girl" have been surpassed by "Harry Potter and the Dark Knight Rises"."

Li Chen just nodded and said "hmm". "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" was indeed abnormal. The box office of 7 million on the first day exceeded "The Twilight Saga 9210" by nearly 2 million US dollars.

In fact, not only Tim called, but Nolan also called Li Chen and joked that both of them had become supporting roles in "Harry Potter and the Dark Knight".

"Don't say so much. Breaking Dawn Part 7 shouldn't be affected by these things. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the finale, and Breaking Dawn Part is also the final chapter of Twilight!"

"Have a good last act, Tim."

"Don't worry, boss. Dawn 2 will be released in more than three months. Just wait and see."

"The film Journey to the West: Legend of the Demons" (also known as Journey to the West: Tripitaka Conquers the Demons), produced and directed by Zhou Xingchi, has recently started shooting secretly in Hengdian."

"There are many versions circulating online about the cast of the film and whether Stephen Chow will be in it."

"A few days ago, our reporter called Stephen Chow's assistant Wei Dashen, who said that the film has started shooting and some of the actors have been confirmed, but the exact list of actors and Stephen Chow's role and other related information will not be announced by the film company. We don't want to promote it."

Yang Siwei paid special attention to the news about "Journey to the West". Although her boss didn't say anything, she still wanted to get things done in advance.

Until now, she still doesn’t know how the boss will deal with "Journey to the West"!
When she saw the reports about "Journey to the West" on the Internet, she wanted to laugh.

Not wanting to promote is all lies.

Li Chen and Cheng Long held a meeting at China Film and Han Sanping today.

Some people say they don't want to publicize it, but they just don't reveal the answer, arousing the public's curiosity.

Some people try every possible means to spread the word.

For example, Yoko, the CEO of Juli.

"On July 7, the movie "Legend of the White Snake" held a trailer release conference and distribution signing conference in Beijing, and announced that the movie will be released in late September."

"Although Jet Li became the main character in the trailer, he said on the spot that he was just a cameo."

"Producer Yang Zi said that the production cost of the film alone reached 1.8 million, and there is no upper limit on the publicity and promotion costs."

"As for the inevitable overlap between the release dates of "Chinese Police" and the National Day, Yang Zi said with a smile that the two dramas have different themes, and it is also a happy thing for Brother Jie and Brother Long to meet during the National Day. The two Js celebrating the motherland's birthday together is another continuation of the Double J plan."

Jet Li's support made "Legend of White Snake" a hot topic among the public.

In particular, Jet Li revealed at the press conference that he had originally agreed with the film company to only make a cameo appearance for two weeks, but the filming actually took 25 days.

He also emphasized, "This time I was mainly paying off my debts, but I regretted it after paying them off. Cui Baozhu helped me for ten years without asking for salary. This time she came to me, what can I say? The most I can say is that it won't happen again."

It is said that when Jet Li said this, the expression on Yoko's face was extremely wonderful.

When Li Chen arrived at China Film Studio, he got out of the car and saw that Chenglong's car had already stopped at China Film Studio.

"Li Chen." Chenglong got out of the car and waved with a smile.

Li Chen walked up and said with a smile: "Brother, you are not waiting for me here, are you? Then I will be guilty of a great sin."

Chenglong laughed loudly and hugged Li Chen affectionately: "No, I just arrived too. I was about to go upstairs when I saw your car coming in."

The two men's assistants followed closely behind them.

"How is Yifei's recovery? She's almost out of confinement, right?"

"She can eat and sleep well, and both mother and child are better than me. It'll be around the end of the month."

"Ah That's good."

"Brother, what do you want to say?" Li Chen was very sensitive.

Chenglong laughed: "I can't hide anything from you. Mr. Yang is looking for me."

Li Chen said "hmm" and did not respond to Chenglong's words.

Chenglong is a shrewd man. Just by looking at Li Chen's attitude, he knows that it is not easy to be a peacemaker.

"It's nothing, actually. He just asked me to give you a message."

"Well, you say, brother."

Chenglong sighed inwardly, he didn't know since when this person's achievements and status in the circle had become comparable to his.

Even in the mainland, you have to give in to the other party.

"He said that he had not thought things through with regard to Yang Mi. He just thought that if Yang Mi's contract expired next year, then the money would not go to outsiders, so he just revealed his intention in advance."

"This kind of thing is too common in the circle."

"He didn't expect things to turn out like this. He made a special trip to Beijing these past two days, intending to clear up the misunderstanding in person."

"After all, you two have been working together for so many years. He said that Rongchen Pictures has always been the partner that Ying Huang cares about the most."

After Cheng Long said this, he said no more.

Ying Huang has been a bit troubled recently. First, Rongchen Films unilaterally terminated the cooperation project of "Ip Man", which caused Ying Huang to suffer heavy losses.

Second, the Yinghuang Prince Xiao Xie is a bit troublesome.

Rumors of his divorce from Zhang Baizhi were rife.

Public opinion was very unfavorable to him, and many of his solemn promises that he would never divorce were dug up by the media.

The CEO of Yinghuang even told Cheng Long privately that he suspected someone was behind all this.

As a result, both Ying Huang and Xie Tingfeng themselves are hesitant. The divorce is settled, but they have to think carefully whether to announce it or not.

Although he didn't say who it was, how could Cheng Long not understand who he was referring to.

Even Cheng Long himself felt that his suspicions had some truth to them.

After all, Xie Tingfeng was the person who poached Yang Mi.

If Li Chen doesn't teach you a lesson, no one will dare to poach his girls in the future.

"Brother, now that we've brought this up, let's not talk about it anymore."

"Our top priority now is to respond to the challenge of The Legend of White Snake. Haha, I didn't expect that you two would be able to have another double J showdown during the National Day holiday."

"This time, I can guarantee that you will definitely be the King of Kung Fu." Li Chen found it funny when he thought about it.

Cheng Long found it even more amusing: "Haha, Li Lianjie called me yesterday and said that he didn't mean that at all."

"It's completely a gimmick that the film producers came up with on their own initiative."

"He is regretting it so much now. There is no way he can't repay the favor. He is helpless to meet such a shameless film producer."

The two arrived at Han Saping's office. Han Saping seemed to have not had a good rest recently and looked a little gloomy.

Li Chen understood why Han Sanping looked like this.

Hong Kong films such as "The Inn of the God of Wealth" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" easily exceeded 100 million yuan, but it was the star-studded "The Founding of a Party" that ended magnificently.

In the end, it didn't exceed 400 million.

Han Sanping had no place to put his old face.

Li Chen didn't know what to say.

You can't say, Mr. Han, after all, your "The Founding of a Party" was a small- to medium-budget film, and you made a lot of money from the box office of more than 300 million.

She is much better than Chen Kexin, who is the one who really lost everything.

Before Li Chen could say anything, Han Sanping spoke first and said unhappily, "You are such a bad-mouthed kid!"

"Hey, Mr. Han, you are the head of China Film Group after all. You must be responsible for what you said. I didn't even make a bet with you. Is that good enough?"

Cheng Long had no idea what the two were talking about, so he smiled and interrupted, "Boss Han, there is an unwritten rule in the industry now."

"Just don't bet with Li Chen. Ever since he won the Big Eight Cinema Chain, I've warned myself not to bet with him."

After Han Sanping sat down, he asked his secretary to serve tea to the two of them. He didn't want to talk about this upsetting matter anymore.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. What opinions do you two have about the promotion of Chinese Police? Old Tian will listen to Li Chen in everything."

"Cheng Long, you and Jet Li are meeting again during the National Day holiday. I know his movie The Legend of White Snake. He may be a guest star, but he is definitely the lead actor."

"I'll listen to Li Chen too. He's a young man with a quick mind." Cheng Long smiled and handed the leadership to Li Chen.

Han Sanping nodded and looked at Li Chen: "What do you say?"

Li Chen smiled. He had already thought it through: "Since they regard Jet Li's 'guest appearance' as the biggest gimmick, it is nothing more than seeing Jet Li's box office appeal."

“I don’t think we need to follow suit on this point.”

"Of course, we are not kidding. Big Brother is definitely the absolute leading actor in 'Police'. There is no such thing as a cameo."

"We can have a Tian Ji horse race and focus our publicity efforts on Zhu Yawen, the male villain."

"In fact, his role is quite interesting. He is a villain who is ruthless, evil, and cunning."

Li Chen is not saying this without any purpose.

In the previous life, the promotional focus of this drama was on Huang Xuan, the villain, rather than on the guest star Liu Dehua and the leading actor Zhang Hanyu.

Villains with unique characteristics tend to be more memorable.

Han Sanping looked at Li Chen deeply, and always felt that this boy was abusing his power for personal gain and trying to promote his own artists.

"What do you think, Cheng Long?"

"Haha, Li Chen's idea is very innovative. Let Xiao Zhu fight with Li Lianjie first. Maybe I don't even need to make a move, and Li Lianjie will fall down."

After finishing the business, Cheng Long left first.

Li Chen mentioned the matter of "The Flowers of War" to Han Sanping again. Zhang Yimou worked overtime and finally completed all the post-production of "The Flowers of War" in these two days.

The first batch of Venice shortlists will be announced soon, and "The Flowers of War" will definitely not be able to make it.

The anxious Venice chairman Maccol called Zhang Yimou every day to keep in touch.

"Director Han, if you want "The Flowers of War" to win an Oscar, you need to speed up the review process."

"Don't worry about this. The bureau has always given the green light to your and Zhang Yimou's films!"
