Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 545 Bullying the weak and fearing the strong
Jingtian originally had good conditions, but this uncle clearly had a good hand but insisted on playing it randomly.

Lu Zheng tried every one of the three ways for an artist to become famous.

It is obvious that Jingtian is being promoted for his career in film, television and music.

Unfortunately, no path has been taken.

Now he has come to his senses and is aiming for the big screen.

But he was desperate and tried every possible means.

Lu Zheng was also anxious. He also wanted to find famous directors such as Zhou Xingchi, Zhang Yimou, Li Chen, and Feng Xiaogang for his niece.

But these big directors all have their own base, and their eyes are on the top of their heads. They don’t take Boss Lu as a big shot at all.

The only thing he has a little friendship with is Li Chen.

So today, while my niece hasn't joined the crew yet, I came to ask for the role.

"I don't have no confidence in Lin Zicong, but I have no confidence in all Hong Kong films."

These words chilled the uncle and nephew to the core.

"Take Overheard 2 for example, the box office of 8100 million in the first four days is their upper limit."

"But if you look at imported films like Transformers 3, their first-day box office is higher than yours in the first four days."

"Not to mention imported films, the first-week box office of my film Charlotte and Jiang Wen's Bullet left these Hong Kong films far behind."

"Revitalizing the glory of Hong Kong films is just a slogan. Everyone is just trying to make money, and there is a lack of talent."

"If you look at the actors active on the big screen today, they are basically the same old veterans from the Hong Kong industry in the last century."

"Zhou Xingchi and Cheng Long are the last fig leaf of the Hong Kong entertainment industry."

"If people like Lin Zicong wanted to make a name for themselves, they would have done so long ago."

Li Chen's words made Lu Zheng frown.

"Director Li, after hearing what you said, I'm sure this movie will lose money again."

"For the sake of box office, I even specially found idol actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan like Wallace Huo and Guo Juechao!"

In Lu Zheng's opinion, these idol actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan must have been a great help to the box office.

He will not lose out if he can get a fan effect like Zhou Jielun's.

"Mr. Lu, if you want Tiantian to walk steadily, the small screen is the key."

"Without the small screen to help Tian Tian gather popularity, you so-called idols won't be able to carry the box office. How many fans do they have in mainland China?"

"You have seen Yang Mi's "Palace" and the popular "Snow Leopard" this month."

Jingtian nodded woodenly.

With the two dramas "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Snow Leopard", Zhu Yilong is showing signs of becoming a first-tier star.

Together with Feng Shaofeng, who became famous with the drama "Palace", they are the most popular young actors in the domestic entertainment industry today.

"If Tiantian wants to be promoted to the first-tier, what she lacks is a representative work. What is a representative work? A hit drama is it."

In fact, there is one thing Li Chen didn’t say. To make your star shine, you need a director like Zhang Yimou.

That girl is also a shortcut.

The most important thing is that Jingtian’s acting skills are hard to describe now, even worse than Yang Mi.

Li Chen's words today were like a beacon of light, clearing the clouds for Lu Zheng to see the sun, and he finally knew how to plan for his niece in the future.

But then again, where can you find a hit drama? How would he know which TV series will be a hit?

Li Chen said so much, actually he just wanted to tell Lu Zheng that he should forget about the role in "Vientiane Island".

Giving it to Jingtian wouldn't help her much.

Lu Zheng realized it later and understood it, thinking that Li Chen was no ordinary person.

Before he could even open his mouth, the other party blocked his mouth.

Lu Zheng hesitated for a while before smiling and said, "Director Li, we are now one of our own."

"I'm afraid you don't know yet, but I've invested in Wanda."

Li Chen nodded and lowered his head to drink tea to hide the smile on his lips.

Lu Zheng is Lu Zheng, he is very arrogant.

The sentence “I have invested in Wanda” sounds a bit like what Sicong said, “I never consider whether my friends are rich or not when making friends.”

"Well, Mr. Lu is indeed not simple."

"Not everyone can invest in Wanda. I told Mr. Wang that I wanted to invest in Wanda, but he rejected me outright."

"Hahaha, Director Li is too modest. Even if I'm not simple, I still can't invest in your Rongchen Pictures."

Li Chen's eyelids turned upside down. These words sounded a bit threatening.

Lu Zheng was extremely proud that Li Chen could compliment him. He felt that he had released his trump card too late.

Seeing the strange look in Li Chen's eyes, Lu Zheng also realized that he had become too proud and said something wrong.

"Director Li, don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant."

"What I mean is that Rongchen Pictures is the real hot commodity. Even Murdoch has run into a wall with you."

Jingtian glanced at her uncle and Brother Li. She knew exactly how her uncle acquired shares in Wanda.

To sum it up in one sentence: the relationship is a bit strong, and the three northeastern provinces are easy to cross!

In fact, she really wanted to tell Brother Li that her uncle’s surname was not Lu.

Lu Zheng's plan was disrupted. Originally, he wanted to throw out the bait of investing in Wanda today.

As long as Li Chen takes the bait, he can transfer part of his shares in Starry Sky to him.

In this way, Li Chen indirectly controls Wanda’s shares, but in fact, Starlight is nothing more than an empty shell.

However, after Li Chen said “not simple”, he did not show how much he valued Wanda shares.

"Let's stop flattering each other, Mr. Lu." Li Chen glanced at his watch, and Lu Zheng understood what he meant.

"Director Li, don't bother two people with one thing. I've taken note of everything you just said."

"But I have a poor eye and can't tell which drama will be popular, so I'd like to trouble you to help me find one. Money is not a problem."

"I thank you on behalf of Tiantian. Of course, I won't let Director Li's hard work go to waste. This is a small gift. Please accept it, Director Li."

After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he took out a bank card from his pocket and pushed it in front of Li Chen.

It was another bank card he was given, how could Li Chen possibly accept it?

If I accept it, I will have to help Jingtian find a script.

However, given Jingtian's current appearance and acting skills, it would be difficult for her to meet expectations even if she were given a hit drama.

"Boss Lu, what do you mean? Take the card back. I won't take it."

"Tiantian, call me Brother Li. If there is a suitable script or role, I will keep an eye out for it."

Jing Tian was so happy that he smiled: "Thank you, Brother Li."

Lu Zheng laughed loudly: "Okay, Director Li is indeed a man of character, but you still have to accept the card."

"Just think of it as a token of appreciation from Aunt Tiantian to your son Xiao Wuxia."

Lu Zheng's words made Jing Tian and Li Chen helpless. Look at his skill in hitting the snake with a stick. Li Chen's son inexplicably had an aunt.

Jingtian's eyes lit up and he realized that it would be great if there was really a brother like Brother Li in the circle.

At least accidents like the "Warring States" will not happen again.

"Yes, Brother Li, just accept it. I haven't had the chance to congratulate Sister Yifei in person on the birth of her baby boy."

This card is not like Li Qiaoqiao's card. I just take it and I treat Li Qiaoqiao well.

The key is that Li Qiaoqiao can support himself.

If Lu Zheng really accepted this card, he would probably become a sister-supporting maniac in the future.

What is the symbol of Jingtian? It is “a line of flowing water, but Jingtian is permanent”!
She is the type that just won’t be popular no matter what. If Li Chen wants to make her a top star, I’m afraid he will have to lose a lot of brain cells.

"Mr. Lu, please take the card back. If you continue to do this, I won't help you."

"I remember what happened to Tiantian, but it's hard to find a script that suits her. I can only say that I'll try my best."

Both Lu Zheng and Jing Tian were quite embarrassed, but Lu Zheng had long since developed the ability to remain calm in the face of adversities in the business world.

Li Chen did this obviously because he didn't want to acknowledge this cheap relative.

The uncle and nephew gave away the Jinxiu Mingdiamond, and Jingtian was still a little depressed.

Lu Zheng, on the other hand, smiled nonchalantly and said, "Tiantian, don't worry too much about Li Chen's attitude."

"Although what he said is not without reason, there is no turning back. For now, you should finish filming "The Time Traveler"."

"Maybe this movie 'The Rescue' will also be a low-budget hit. After all, Li Chen is not a god."

"Well, I understand uncle. I was just thinking about what Brother Li said just now."

"Don't think too much. Didn't he promise to help you find a script?"

In Lu Zheng's eyes, if it weren't for his niece, he really wouldn't even bother with these so-called bigwigs in the film and television industry.

The uncle and nephew were sent away.

Han Saping, Ren Zhonglun, Wang Changtian and Ye Ning arrived at Jinxiu Mingzuan one after another.

Han Sanping arrived the fastest.

The first and second parts of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" have achieved a combined box office of over 1 billion yuan, so the four major producers are of course eager to follow up with the second part.

As soon as Li Chen spoke, Ren Zhonglun flew directly from Shanghai to Beijing, fearing that Han Sanping would swallow up their share of the film.

Han Saping is a brilliant diamond who arrived at the same time as Fan Qiaoqiao.

Fan Qiaoqiao has been plagued by bad luck recently. First, rumors spread that she was pregnant, and then she was seduced by a director.

Fan Qiaoqiao came to Li Chen because of his artist Li Zhiting, who was on the casting list announced by "Vientiane Island".

Several of the male supporting actors are young soldiers, which fits Li Zhiting's image very well.

She naturally hoped that Brother Chen would let her go through the back door.

Fan Qiaoqiao was delighted when he unexpectedly met Han Saping.

But she didn't know that the four producers came to Rongchen Pictures today for "Longling Mystery Cave"!
When Fan Qiaoqiao heard that he and Mr. Han were the only ones in Brother Chen's office, he shamelessly asked his assistant to help pass the message.

After entering Li Chen's office, Fan Qiaoqiao felt that all his recent bad luck had been swept away.

The two people sitting in front of him can almost be regarded as the two most influential bosses in the circle.

"Mr. Han, Brother Chen, I hope I didn't disturb you from talking about business?" As soon as Fan Qiaoqiao entered the room, she smoothed the hair by her ears in a very feminine way.

She knows how to show off her beauty in front of important men.

These two are unintentionally the most important.

Li Chen smiled and glanced at Han Sanping and said, "I was just talking about you with Director Han. Director Han is here today. The director who forcefully kissed you must be his subordinate."

"Sue him in person!"

Fan Qiaoqiao froze for a moment, not daring to move from where he had just sat down. He didn't know whether Brother Chen was joking or serious.

Han Saping rolled his eyes at Li Chen. There were all kinds of people under him, so how much could he control?

Besides, Fan Qiaoqiao is a person who likes to have fun. It takes two to tango. Sometimes if you don’t refuse, others will assume that you consent.

"Brother Chen, please stop teasing me. I'm just a small actor. How dare I report someone else's situation? Besides, Director He may not have meant it."

"Whispers turned into kisses goodbye. These trends in the industry are caused by these bad apples and "Fan Ye" like you who bully the weak and fear the strong."

Fan Qiaoqiao's face changed. What Li Chen said was a bit harsh. Even Han Saping felt a little embarrassed.

"Come on, Li Chen, what does this have to do with you? Qiao Qiao doesn't intend to pursue it, but you still keep holding on to it."

Li Chen sneered: "Forget it, you are the head of China Film Group, and you are the victim. You two don't worry about it, so I don't have to worry about it."

"If this kind of thing happened to an artist under my company, I wouldn't be so easy to talk to."

Han Sanping narrowed his eyes. It was obvious that Li Chen was talking to him.

Fan Qiaoqiao's face turned red. Li Chen's words "bullying the weak and fearing the strong" completely tore off the fig leaf of "Fan Ye".

"Brother Chen, you are right. Although I don't intend to pursue the matter, I will let him know in my own way that this is just the first time and it won't happen again."

"Don't tell me how you deal with it. I don't care. Just let your artist come to the audition."

"Ah, thank you Brother Chen." Fan Qiaoqiao was overjoyed. It was indeed Brother Chen. His style of doing things was so decisive and efficient.

The three of them chatted for a few words before Ren Zhonglun and others arrived.

Although Fan Qiaoqiao was envious of being able to invest in "Ghost Blows Out the Light", she also knew that her small studio was not even in the eyes of these big guys.

So he left tactfully.

After getting in the car, Fan Qiaoqiao told Mu Xiaoguang what happened when he entered the door just now.

"Brother Guang, why did Brother Chen suddenly bring this up? I felt like there was some anger in his tone."

Fan Qiaoqiao's mind was in a mess. She always felt that Brother Chen still had her in his heart, otherwise he would not have brought up this matter for no reason.

"Qiao Qiao, why are you thinking so much? He's already married. Are you planning to be his mistress?"

"Besides, I know what you're thinking. It's normal for him to be interested in you. Aren't there enough big directors in the industry who are interested in you?"

What Mu Xiaoguang said was true, otherwise she would not have been kissed forcibly.

Although Fan Qiaoqiao knew that she and Brother Chen had no future, she still felt sweet in her heart when she thought of Brother Chen's angry look just now.

"The biennial Huabiao Film Awards ceremony will be held on August 8 this year. The list of nominees for the Huabiao Awards was announced a few days ago."

"The film 'Flying' produced by the Bayi Film Studio became the big winner, receiving five nominations for 'Outstanding Story Film', 'Outstanding Film Technology', 'Outstanding Screenwriter', 'Outstanding Director' and 'Outstanding Actor'."

There is a lot of controversy online about the Huabiao Awards nominations.

A film that few people have seen has the ability to outperform several blockbusters that gross over 500 million yuan. This is the Huabiao Award, one of the three major domestic film festivals along with the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards.

"A movie called 'Up' that almost no one has seen has become the biggest winner. This is the current situation of domestic film festivals."

“This is also why I don’t participate in domestic film festivals.” Li Chen and Ms. Liu said this before leaving for Venice.

This time in Venice, Liu Yifei carefully prepared five dresses, each of which was approved by Li Chen and her mother-in-law.
