Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

"Scarlet Heart" is too similar to "Palace", and fans of both sides accuse each other of plagiarism."

"Next Saturday, the Qing Dynasty time-travel drama "Startling by Each Step" will be broadcast on Mango TV. More than a month ago, a half-hour-long trailer of the drama was already available on major video websites."

"Soon, some netizens discovered that "Startling by Each Step" felt very similar to another Qing Dynasty time-travel drama "Palace."

"Netizen "仰仰不不仙" said: "Startling by Each Step is plagiarizing Palace. After all, Palace came first!"

"The netizen named "皮肤很白啊" hit back: "Which came first, the chicken or the egg? In terms of the script, "Startling by Each Step" came first!"

"The epic film "The Revolution of 9", starring Cheng Long, Li Qiaoqiao, Zhao Wenxuan and others, will hold its world premiere at Nan Jing on September 15."

"Cheng Long and Li Qiaoqiao play Huang Xing and Xu Zonghan in the film - a pair of revolutionary lovers, and there is no lack of tender and lingering love scenes."

"Li Qiaoqiao even admitted that some of their scenes were very "hot", but unfortunately they were cut out by director Zhang Li."

During the Venice Film Festival, the domestic entertainment celebrities were also busy.

Yu Zheng and Cai Yinong were fighting with swords under disguise.

Ironically, the deleted passionate scenes between Big Brother Long and Li Qiaoqiao became the biggest gimmick of the main theme movie "The Revolution of 1911".

Although Li Qiaoqiao revealed this passionate scene in front of the media, he remained tight-lipped about how passionate it was.

Yang Siwei and Liu Yifei were also curious, after all, they were surprised to find that the male lead was Cheng Long.

Both girls had an indescribable feeling.

"Brother has filmed more than a hundred movies, and it seems that there aren't many passionate scenes?" Liu Yifei tilted her head and tried to recall.

"Yes, but just in limited parts. There were one or two kissing scenes with Maggie Cheung in Police Story," Yang Siwei added.

Only Li Chen sat alone on the sofa, quietly reading the program of the Venice Film Festival, waiting for his wife who was putting on makeup.

"Hey, that quiet handsome man, did you know that you and elder brother haven't been meeting very often recently." Liu Yifei pouted at her husband in the mirror.

Yang Siwei lowered his head and held back his laughter.

Quiet handsome man
"How would I know that?" Li Chen pretended to be stupid.

In fact, Chenglong had mentioned Li Qiaoqiao to him casually.

I just want to say that Li Qiaoqiao is really ruthless and he works very hard while filming.

I didn’t say anything else.

But how could Li Chen not know the behind-the-scenes details of this passionate scene?

It was nothing more than that Li Qiaoqiao drank half a bottle of red wine and then a bottle of white wine, and then he and Chenglong started to do it without caring about anything else.

So much so that when Li Qiaoqiao got out of bed, his legs went weak and he fell directly to the ground.

It is said that there were only five people present at the time, including Chenglong and Li Qiaoqiao.

"You really don't know?" Liu Yifei looked puzzled. She always felt that Li Chen's answer was too straightforward.

Either they know but don’t say it, or they really don’t know.

Today's Lido Island is extremely strange.

Many media outlets actually discovered the blond Leonardo DiCaprio, the short-haired Charlize Theron, Scarlett Johansson and other Hollywood celebrities.

Charlize Theron's tall figure and deep and delicate facial features made her recognized as soon as she appeared at the airport.

"Isn't that Charlize?"

"Why did she come to Venice? Didn't the organizing committee tell her about it?"

"Are you here for today's press conference for The Hunger Games?"

"She starred in 'The Thieves'."

Media from various countries waiting at the airport were talking about it, but they all rushed forward without hesitation to block Charlize.

I thought Charlize was the only big fish, but in just one morning, Leon and Scarlett appeared on Lido Island one after another, which completely made Lido Island boil.

Fans crowded into the island's only five-star hotel, Hotel Excelsior Venice
Scarlett was the last to arrive.

When she arrived, Li Chen and his wife were already sitting by the window of the hotel's panoramic suite with Charlize and Leon, drinking red wine and reminiscing about the past while admiring the beautiful view of the canal.

Black Widow’s appearance is now at the peak of her life.

As Black Widow entered the room, Li Chen and others also stood up with a smile.

"Crystal, Li, long time no see."

"Long time no see, you've changed again." Liu Yifei and Scarlett hugged each other.

It has indeed been a long time since we last met. I haven't seen her since Liu Yifei held her birthday party at Shuijing Wu that year.

"What's changed? It's you who has changed. You've become more feminine." Scarlett joked and touched Liu Yifei's face, but glanced at Li Chen playfully.

"No, it's just that you've become more and more charming." Liu Yifei said modestly.

"Okay, okay, you are all beautiful women, so stop standing and talking. It seems like I am the ugliest person in this room."

"Hahaha" Li Chen's words made four of them laugh.

"Li, you don't have to envy Leon. Apart from his face and acting skills, he is inferior to you in everything else."

Li Chen pinched his chin and said, "Well, Charlize still has good taste."

After they sat down, Li Chen raised his glass and said, "Thank you for coming to support Crystal."

Liu Yifei also raised her glass and said with a smile: "Thank you."

She knew very well that those people came not for her, but for her husband.

However, husband and wife are one, and Ms. Liu is very good at comforting herself because she is doing it for her husband as well as for herself.

She entered the entertainment industry at the age of 14. If she didn't have the mental preparation, she would have been overwhelmed by the rumors.

"You're welcome, we're all friends." Leon said with a smile.

Charlize and Scarlett also raised their glasses with smiles on their faces. Although Scarlett did not win an Oscar, her salary skyrocketed due to the release of "Iron Man".

She has become the number one actress after Charlize and Jolie, who are absolutely the top actresses in Hollywood.

Scarlett's golden age will last at least ten years, which is incomparable to Charlize and Jolie.

Although both of them are already big names in Hollywood, they dare not neglect Li Chen.

The higher you go, the more you understand the status gap that wealth brings.

Even though Li Chen is Chinese and has always been very low-key in front of the media, he is well-known in Hollywood today.

It would be fine if you just amazed everyone with your movie.

She just casually wrote a song and introduced a petite Chinese girl, and she was able to shock the global music scene with the song "Try".

Even Warner, one of the Big Six, has repeatedly expressed goodwill in front of the media, saying that Chiyou and Rongchen Pictures are their most important partners in Hollywood and China.

A few years ago, what was Chiyou? Not even worthy of carrying Warner's shoes.

Now she is having the best of both worlds in Hollywood. Disney even gave the leading role of "Frozen" to a Chinese girl.

The 1.3 billion box office of "Avatar" completely woke up Hollywood.

"Li, I'm going to attend a red wine brand dinner in Shanghai, China next week. Do you mind giving me a ride? I don't have the money to buy a private jet yet."

Li Chen smiled and said, "What a coincidence, Scarlett, I have to accompany her to Milan Fashion Week."

Scarlett suddenly realized, glanced at Liu Yifei, and gently patted her forehead and said, "I forgot that Crystal is the spokesperson for Gucci."

"Are you going to Shanghai?" Liu Yifei became interested.

"Well, a red wine that I endorse is also actively expanding into the Chinese market. I heard that Chinese celebrities have been invited. I remember there seems to be one named Shu Qi."

In the afternoon, the flow of people outside the Film Palace exceeded the total of the past few days of opening, and even security was dispatched.

It was so crowded that within a few hours, everyone knew that Charlize and other Hollywood celebrities were coming to Venice.

Celine Dion's arrival is finally settled.

Macol then announced that the mysterious guests previously mentioned by the organizing committee were these four big names.

Markel and Zhang Yimou were standing in the Cinema Palace, chatting and laughing, holding a glass of red wine.

"Yimou, meeting you and Li Chen is the happiest thing for me, Old Ma. Thank you for coming to see me off."

"We are all friends, there is no need to say thank you or not."

"Haha, well said, we are all friends." Markel's eyes flickered, and he already had an idea in his mind.

Yang Siwei was surrounded by many film producers.

Although Warner has promised to fully support "The Hunger Games" with its resources, if other film companies outside North America offer higher bids.

Li Chen also told her that the highest bidder wins.

Inside the Palace of Cinema, Leon and Kate, the shipwrecked couple, were reminiscing about the past, Charlize and Monica were also reminiscing about the past, and Scarlett was talking to George Clooney.

The media who were lucky enough to be there also tried their best to take photos and conduct interviews.

"Director Zhang, I've already told Yang Siwei that the domestic preview will be on September 9 this month, and Warner will handle the PR."

Li Chen's words revealed a lot of information.

"The Flowers of War" will be screened in China for a week in order to compete for an Oscar, and the public relations department also needs a professional team.

Zhang Yimou patted Li Chen on the shoulder and said only two words: "Thank you."

Li Chen smiled and said, "We are one family, so why bother thanking each other?"

Zhang Yimou nodded and smiled: "Yifei is becoming more and more mature. She can handle this kind of situation like a duck in water."

Li Chen laughed and said, "They can speak multiple languages, so they are naturally like fish in water."

The press conference will officially begin soon.

The host is still the official host of the Venice Film Festival, the Italian beauty Puccini.

Puccini felt extremely absurd at the moment, as if she was attending the Venice Film Festival awards ceremony.

There are too many big names here.

The presidents of the Berlin Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival also came. She knew that they came for these two Chinese directors.

Even if the award ceremonies of the three major film festivals were added together, they probably wouldn’t be half as grand as today’s.

Nini studied broadcasting and hosting, and Liu Yifei did not neglect Zhang Yimou as a student.

I took Nini to introduce her to Chiyou and Warner's people.

"Yifei, I just saw Leo in person. No, no, no, I'm not talking about Director Li, I'm talking about Leon."

Nini was a little distracted and her speech was stuttering.

It was like the Hollywood celebrities on the screen were standing right in front of me, and I couldn’t open my eyes because of how handsome they were.

"Well, he is indeed handsome, but not suitable for us." Liu Yifei winked at Nini.

It was not until the host's voice sounded that Nini seemed to return to reality.

"Today is the first global press conference for The Hunger Games. The film crew brought us a wonderful five-minute trailer and the theme song "Unstoppable" composed by director Li Chen and sung by Deng Ziqi. Let's enjoy these five minutes of wonderful music and an audio-visual feast."

The five-minute trailer, with its unstoppable melody and the oriental rose with a ponytail, bow and arrow on her back and a resolute expression, creates a strong visual and auditory impact.

Five minutes was very short, so short that no one reacted until the trailer ended.

The visuals and theme song are so shocking. Is this really a song written by Chinese people and a Chinese movie?

Macor led the applause, and then the film producers who reacted were like a time bomb that had exploded, and warm applause rang out in the Cinema Palace.
