Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 565 Three Romance Films

Just when fans, netizens and the media were trying to find out whether Yin Tao and Liu Yifei were following each other and had a new drama to collaborate on.

An explosive piece of news about "Yin Tao's ex-husband being on trial" exposed a little-known flaw in her marriage history.

"A woman who forgets her principles when she sees profit!"

"She is just like Damei in Happiness is Like a Flower!"

"Husbands and wives are birds of the same forest, and they will fly separately when disaster strikes."

"Actors have no moral integrity."

Yin Tao was surrounded by negative news, and many of the film contracts he was negotiating with came to an abrupt end.

Plans cannot keep up with changes, and both agents Liang Mu and Yin Tao were caught off guard.

He was very popular one second, and the next second he became a plague god that everyone hated and avoided.

“This is too realistic!”

"It's normal. Some investors would take risks with real money. I'm afraid that "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky" has nothing to do with me." Yin Tao said with a wry smile.

When talking about this, the agent slapped his forehead and said, "I am confused."

As he spoke, he picked up his phone and dialed.

"What are you doing?" Yin Tao asked.

The agent raised his hand and signaled Yin Tao not to ask any more questions.

As soon as the call was connected, the agent smiled and said, "Boss Yu, Yin Tao doesn't need to read the script of Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky."

"If your company's script still makes people feel uneasy, then there is no script that can make people feel uneasy."

"Don't worry, since the boss has chosen Yin Tao, he won't change his mind. It's just a divorce. Fortunately, it's a divorce, otherwise the result would be hard to predict."

"Ah?" The agent was stunned.

It was not until they hung up the phone that the agent and Yin Tao realized what the other party meant by "Fortunately they are divorced."

Indeed, if they had not divorced, Yin Tao would definitely have to be investigated for corruption. According to the purpose of Rongchen Pictures, they would never cooperate with artists who are involved in legal disputes.

Huang Shengyi was an example back then.

Then Yin Taozhen has nothing to do with "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky".

"After all, it's a big company, and after all, it's Director Li." Yin Tao burst into laughter.

"Look at you, crying and laughing at the same time. Who just now looked like someone who had lost all hope in life? I'm afraid that "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky" has nothing to do with me anymore."

The agent imitated Yin Tao's lonely expression perfectly.

"I was just being sarcastic. In fact, I also believe that Director Li will not change his mind easily."

"Although I am not familiar with Director Li, it is not difficult to see from his behavior on several occasions that Director Li is an extremely strong person."

"Especially in the past few years, Director Li has been able to overcome almost all obstacles. The CEOs of leading companies such as Huayi and New Picture have all been humiliated in front of Director Li." Yin Tao counted on her fingers.

"Nonsense! Don't you see the power of Rongchen Pictures now? No matter which one you pull out, whether it's film, television, music or variety show, they are all like this!" The agent gave a thumbs up.

"How can I not be strong!"

Yin Tao smiled and said, "That's right."

In the Happy Twist Theater, Li Chen and Yang Siwei sat in the audience watching a skit starring Shen Teng and Mary.

Last year, "Charlotte's Troubles" became a huge hit, and this year the two were invited by the Spring Festival Gala and will be on the big stage.

Since the capital injection, Mahua has sprung up like mushrooms in theaters all over the country.

"Boss Yin Tao." Yang Siwei hesitated to speak.

Li Chen turned his head and glanced at Yang Siwei, who smiled again and said, "It's okay, boss."

In fact, she just wanted to remind the boss that Yin Tao and Sun Li did not have a good relationship.

But when the words came to his lips, Yang Siwei felt that he was wasting his time.

These kinds of things are just trivial matters between artists, the boss doesn't need to consider so much.

What's more, Sun Li is just Deng Chao's wife, not his own artist.

She was also present when Yu Miao made a phone call to her boss half an hour ago.

Yang Siwei was naturally well aware of the public opinion on the Internet.

However, based on her understanding of her boss, this kind of thing does not seem to affect his decision.

Sure enough, after Yu Miao finished speaking, the boss replied simply: "It's just a secret marriage and divorce, just follow the normal procedures."

Shen Teng and Mary were still performing the story of Hao Jian on the stage, but Li Chen suddenly thought of something.

It seems that Shen Teng and Yin Tao were classmates. Back then, one of them was the school belle and the other was the school hunk.

Thinking of this, Li Chen wanted to laugh. Looking at Shen Teng's current appearance, no wonder Yin Tao said in an interview later: Shen Teng was very handsome back then, but he has grown ugly now!

Shen Teng saw Director Li smiling on the stage, and his performance became even more exciting.

When the skit ended, Li Chen and Yang Siwei gently clapped their hands.

After getting off the stage, Zhang Chen walked over with Shen Teng and Mary and said with a smile, "Director Li, I'm sorry for not welcoming you well."

"Why are you being so polite? We are all family."

Shen Teng and Mary were both smiling happily, and they were extremely impressed by Director Li, the major shareholder in front of them.

The drama "Charlotte's Troubles" made the two of them instantly famous on the Internet, just like Xiao Shenyang in 09.

It even created a box office myth.

But just one year later, "Chinese Police" broke this box office record again.

The screenwriter is still Director Li.

No wonder there is a popular saying on the Internet: records were created by Li and broken by Li.

"Director Li, please give us some comments. Is it possible for our program to win the language category championship of the Spring Festival Gala?" Shen Teng said with a smile.

Just now he saw Director Li smile, which means he was at least halfway successful.

"It's not a big problem. At least our Mahua will have a place on the Spring Festival Gala stage in the future."

Zhang Chen also said: "Director Li is right. We can't always have the same old faces on the Spring Festival Gala."

Li Chen nodded: "It's been more than a year since Charlotte was released, the next project should be on the agenda."

Zhang Chen also said: "We invited Director Li to come here today, first of all, to give some suggestions on Shen Ting Mary's skit."

"The second is to discuss the next project with Director Li."

On Weibo, in addition to Yin Tao's eye-catching post, there is another one that is not far behind.

The entry "Yangzi becomes a father, Lin Feng is caught in the crossfire" also has a very high level of discussion and forwarding.

The following is almost the chat record between Li Chen and Wang Changtian on that day.

Li Chen knew without hesitation that it was Wang Changtian's work.

Within two hours, the number of comments exceeded 10,000 and it was forwarded more than 900 times.

Apart from Lao Wang, no one else has this energy.

Yangzi was furious and posted swear words on Weibo, offering a reward for the arrest of the mastermind behind the online troll army.

I have to reiterate that Huang Shengyi’s schedule is already scheduled until July next year, so she has no time to fall in love and have children.

Today's Huang Shengyi is no longer the star girl she used to be. In fact, she was one of the four young actresses when she was selected in 09.

Huang Shengyi's selection was far-fetched. Without spending money on publicity, Huang Shengyi would never have been selected.

Apart from a mute girl and the fairy couple, there are really no other memorable characters.

This Hollywood role that has been hyped up over the past two years only had one nondescript shot in the movie and no lines.

It's just more than a supporting role where you show your face.

I originally thought that I could use "White Snake" to trap Jet Li, and at least secure my position as a top star by working with Jet Li.

The result was contrary to expectations. The box office was not as high as the cost, and the word of mouth was so bad that it was unrecognizable.

The huge profits are now in chaos, and people are in a panic about the three projects that have already been launched.

In fact, Yoko knew that Huang Shengyi was pregnant in July this year, but she still kept it a secret from everyone.

It was not until he had a brilliant idea to put the blame on Lin Feng and then escape himself that Huang Shengyi regained his normal sanity.

The man you find is not a normal person, and just because he has money doesn’t necessarily mean he can be trusted.

In Yoko's office at Juli Film, Yoko and Choi Baozhu sat opposite each other.

"Director Cui, did Jet Li clearly reject you?" Yangzi didn't seem to be as furious as she did on Weibo. Instead, she had a smile on her face and one hand was tapping the desk lightly.

Cui Baozhu hated this boss who was addicted to freeloading, but he still had to keep a polite smile on his face.

You get it back for free once, and you'll become addicted.

"White Snake" has a very bad reputation, with a Douban score of less than 6 points.

How could Jet Li further ruin his reputation which was already on the decline?

"Boss Yang, Ajie said that if we want to make a sequel, everything must be done according to the rules."

"Haha, the rules are just a matter of money."

Zhu Wu Yu, if you don't want to spend money, you can just not look for Li Lianjie.

"Forget it, if you don't want to shoot, then don't shoot. I don't want to find another old man to serve me."

Cui Baozhu secretly shook his head in his heart, wondering how he could have been so blind as to think that this person was a big shot.

After all this time, he turned out to be a fool. Facing negative public opinion and internet trolls, he can do nothing but swear on Weibo and put on a show.

Early in the morning, the good news from China Film Corporation spread across both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau.

"The reporter learned from the relevant person in charge of China Film that as of today (October 10), the cumulative box office of "Chinese Police" in the mainland has reached 14 million yuan, setting a record for the box office of Chinese-language films in history."

"Previously, the highest-grossing Chinese-language film was "Charlotte's Troubles," which earned 9.05 million yuan."

Han Saping was smiling happily and pacing back and forth in the office, unable to sit still.

If "The Flowers of War" can win the Best Foreign Language Film award again, it will be a great achievement.

The secretary knocked on the door and came in, smiling, "Director Han, Rongchen Pictures has sent us the North American promotional poster for The Flowers of War."

"Huh? Bring it to me quickly!" Han Saping was full of energy. That kid Li Chen really never lets down his guard.

What comes into view is a gray broken rose, and the entire background is pure black.

The line below reads: THE FLOWERS OF WAR.
“Not bad, quite good”

Splendid Diamond
Xue Xiaolu's "Seattle" was finally written.

"What do you think, Li Chen? Give me some advice. Don't be reluctant to invest just because of our friendship." Xue Xiaolu smiled as she sat opposite Li Chen, feeling a little uneasy.

After all, it is his first commercial film that he wrote and directed.

In today's Chinese film market, anyone working in the film industry who has a bit of ambition wants to make a movie.

Perhaps the pay for just one film is what those popular movie stars who were active in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s would earn for most of their lifetime.

Li Chen read it carefully for nearly half an hour before he said, "Sister Lu, there's nothing wrong with the script. It's just that some minor lines may need to be revised."

"And the name needs to be changed too."

"'Beautiful Destiny' is not popular, it's too ordinary."

"Don't be offended by what I said. Since you are the one who asked me to invest, then it's a different matter."

Xue Xiaolu felt relieved and said humbly, "You are an expert, you must have better vision than me. What do you think is the best way to change it?"

Li Chen nodded and pondered for a moment before saying, "How about calling it "BJ Falls in Love with Seattle"? "BJ Falls in Love with Seattle." Xue Xiaolu said silently.

"It's a good name, with a bit of the flavor of an art film. Okay, I'll listen to you." Xue Xiaolu said with a smile.

"As for the lines, these and these should be modified or deleted."

Li Chen and Xue Xiaolu talked for more than two hours.

For the 30 million investment, Li Chen had only one request, that he would be the one to finalize the male lead.

Otherwise, Xue Xiaolu would have ended up choosing Wu Xiubao, who became an overnight sensation because of “Before the Dawn”.

Li Chen went over who were in the uncle circle, and soon there were only two people left.

One is Zhang Jiayi, who has participated in Yang Siwei’s “Love Is Not Blind” and Song Siming in “Dwelling Narrowness”.

One of them is Yu Hewei, who played Liu Bei in last year’s ratings runner-up “The New Three Kingdoms”.

The others are either too young or have few representative works.

At the same time, Chen Kexin also got the last script of Rongchen Films to be filmed, "La La Land".
"Husband, you joined Rongchen Pictures, aren't you afraid of gossip?" Wu Jinru said hesitantly.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Kexin crossed her legs, looking nonchalant.

"Tell me you are a traitor!" Wujiru lowered his head, and his voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

But although Chen Kexin has poor eyesight, her hearing is very good.

"A traitor? Didn't the last chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards from the Chen family become a disciple of Wang Changtian?"

"Is Li Chen worse than Wang Changtian?"

"Where is Zhang Yimou now? Am I, Chen Kexin, more arrogant than Zhang Yimou? I have long hair but little knowledge. My views are womanly and stupid!"

Chen Kexin snorted coldly, not caring at all what his wife and outsiders thought.

Making money is the kingly way, and fame and fortune are the best aphrodisiacs for men.

Do we have to follow the example of Wang Jiawei and Du Qifeng and confine ourselves to a circle just to save a little face?

Why did Lin Qingxia praise "Chinese Police" so highly? Isn't it because he values ​​the now booming mainland market?

I also hope to be valued by Li Chen like Zhang Manyu.

The domestic market is so hot nowadays that even directors in the industry feel that things are changing every day.

Even Hollywood blockbusters are frequently looking for actors in mainland China.

In the past, a director’s salary of one million for a movie was not considered a small amount, but now one hundred million is not considered a lot.

Among the women who are still alive, Xia Yufanghong, Xianzhen Minxin, which one doesn't want to make a comeback?

It is true that gold and silver attract people's eyes and money moves people's hearts.

Feng Xiaogang and the two brothers of Huayi jointly held a press conference for the launch of "Revisiting 1942" in Beijing.

The press conference was attended by many big names, including Chen Daoming, Zhang Guoli, Zhang Hanyu and others.

The atmosphere was solemn and the whole process ended in less than five minutes.

The actors remained silent, and the media and reporters from all over the country were stunned.

Only Feng Xiaogang spoke.

"Zhong Lei told me that there is no limit on investment or duration, and we can shoot as long as we want."

"I asked if it was okay to shoot for five years, and he said yes."

"The initial investment of 30 million has now been increased to 200 million, and two well-known Hollywood stars have basically confirmed their participation."

"We are now in the final process of signing the contract. According to the rules, their names cannot be revealed yet. With two big stars joining, the budget will increase again."

As soon as he finished speaking, the organizer immediately announced the end of the press conference. The whole process lasted less than 5 minutes and there was no interactive session at all.

The reporters looked at each other.

"What's going on? We haven't asked any questions yet!"

"How to do!"

"What should we do? Just catch them and question whoever we catch!"

The media scattered around frantically like clients in a brothel looking for girls.

Xu Fan said: "There are indeed many things in this film that cannot be discussed, but I don't think my husband is under too much pressure. There is no time limit for filming the film."

"But for me, it will probably take me half a year to shoot because I have to play a disaster victim. Many actors have to lose weight, including me."

Sina Entertainment News

"Chen Kaige's new film "Search" officially started shooting in Ningbo a few days ago. The film is led by Gao Yuanyuan, Zhao Youting, Yao Chen, Wang Xueqi, Chen Hong, Wang Luodan and Chen Ran."

"As popular actresses in mainland China, Gao Yuanyuan, Yao Chen and Wang Luodan were all selected by Chen Kaige to play important roles in Searching. The three beauties will also compete with each other both on and off the screen."

"According to an insider, Chen Kaige had previously preferred another popular actress Yang Mi for the role of Wang Luodan, but due to schedule conflicts, Yang Mi was unable to meet Chen Kaige."

"As the last confirmed actress in the entire drama, Wang Luodan herself also said that she got into the crew through the back door."

Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige's new film naturally attracted a lot of media attention.

But when it comes to influence in the country, Feng Xiaogang is certainly the winner.

After the press conference, I returned to Huayi.

Several people were no longer solemn.

The kings looked at each other and smiled.

"Brother, today's press conference was very effective."

"Well, although being mysterious is old-fashioned, it is very practical."

People on the Internet were speculating about who the two famous Hollywood actors revealed by Feng Xiaogang were, and the discussion about their pay even overshadowed the discussion about Chen Kaige's "Search."

"Rich people are stupid, come quickly!"

"Out of a 2 million budget, 1.99 million went to those two 'famous Hollywood actors', right?"

"Based on the salary of Bale in The Flowers of War, if there were two Bales, Chen Daoming and others might even have to pay for it."

"If they had invited Leo like they did for The Island of Vientiane, the filming of 1942 would have been delayed forever."

Yang Siwei was also very curious about who Feng Xiaogang invited.

The new films of two big mainland directors are very eye-catching, and the little swallow is not willing to be left out.

While promoting "Painted Skin" in Hong Kong Island, he revealed that his next task is to shoot a graduation work.

The script has been chosen, it is an adaptation of a romance novel.

Li Chen asked Han Sanping casually, Xiaoyanzi is still an artist of his China Film Group, and Old Han must know it.

Sure enough, Lao Han not only knew the situation clearly, but was also an investor.

"Fleeting Time?"

"you know too?"

What nonsense! How could he not know? Not only did he know it, he had also seen it.

It is another hit movie with a box office of over 500 million.

"Yeah, I've heard of it."

"If you're interested, she'll definitely be willing to let you help."

"Forget it. People are saying online that I don't like her. Why should I slap myself in the face?"

"How did she offend you?" Han Sanping was also very curious when talking about this topic.

"I just simply don't like it, okay?"

"Okay! Now you have the confidence to dislike everyone."

"Hahaha, Mr. Han, you should keep this to yourself."

After saying that, Li Chen hung up the phone. Han Saping held the phone, stunned for a long while before shaking his head and chuckled.

What Li Chen said was right, and it seemed that this statement really applied to him.

Li Chen sighed lightly, after all, he was not omnipotent.

He couldn't stop some people from coming forward.

Lao Han is like central air conditioning. He is happy to support any Chinese filmmaker.

He is willing to cooperate with people like Yoko.

He is also willing to support people like Xiaoyanzi.

In his eyes, as long as he can contribute to Chinese films, his deeds matter, not his intentions.

This is a case of the butt deciding the head, unlike Li Chen, who has a higher degree of freedom and judges by both the heart and the actions.

Yang Siwei called Li Chen to ask for instructions, and said that "Feathers Flying to the Sky", "BJ Falls in Love with Seattle" and the earlier "La La Land" project would be announced next Monday.

"Boss, there won't be any problems with Chen Kexin, right?" Yang Siwei was a little worried.

In the domestic entertainment industry, apart from China Film and Bona Film Group, which have cooperated with Chen Kexin, other film and television companies have no good feelings towards these people in the Hong Kong circle.

"What could go wrong?"

"After all, he is a representative figure in the Hong Kong circle"

Li Chen laughed: "What's the big deal? Rongchen Pictures is open to all. As long as you have the ability and integrity, you can become a part of Rongchen Pictures."

"If we want to be the benchmark in the industry, we can't have sectarianism."

“With the company’s current status, sometimes even I can’t do things based on my personal preferences.”

"Chen Kexin is an advertisement for Rongchen Pictures. As long as you have the ability, you can always find your place in Rongchen Pictures."

"I understand, boss."

Yang Siwei actually knew that Chen Kexin’s joining would only accelerate the disintegration of the seemingly solid Hong Kong circle.

As for some public opinion, as long as she guides it well, public opinion is nothing more than the lover of capital.

Two days later, a piece of news on Rongchen Pictures’ official website was like a bombshell.

It completely overshadowed the brilliance of Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige.

Early in the morning, the entertainment industry was stunned by the three projects announced on Rongchen Pictures’ official website.

Two romance films and one TV series.

The most eye-catching ones are the romance film "La La Land" directed by Chen Kexin and starring Liu Yifei, and "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky" starring Zhang Yi and Yin Tao.

Jinghua Daily reported
"Rongchen Pictures announced today on its official website the information of the last film of the two-year plan, La La Land, and finally revealed the inside story of Chen Kexin's visit to Splendid Diamonds some time ago."

"Also announced were Xue Xiaolu's new work "BJ Falls in Love with Seattle" written and directed by her, and Rongchen Pictures' another masterpiece "Feathers Flying to the Sky". It is reported that the script of "Feathers Flying to the Sky" took a year and a half to polish."

"It was completed by Li Chen and Shen Jie, the screenwriter of "Serious Case Team 200". Shen Jie spent nearly a year and a half visiting nearly volunteers to basically perfect the script."

Everyone in the circle was extremely surprised.

"Director Chen is the publicity director of Rongchen Pictures, so what about President Yu?"

"Director Zhang, Artistic Director, Director Chen, Publicity Director, my goodness, Leo is cheating."

“Has “We Production” disbanded? Has Renren Film closed down?”

"Chen Kexin has been recruited by Little Leo!"

Yu Dong's face looked extremely ugly. No wonder Chen Kexin had completely lost her enthusiasm for Renren Movies recently.
