Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 567: Wolf Warriors are “Rejected”

It was a night of light wind and sudden rain, and both the husband and wife looked radiant.

Miss Liu was standing in front of the dressing table, looking at her husband in the mirror, feeling extremely sweet.

"I watched it all night and it's still not enough"

"Of course not. How did you grow up? How come you grow up to my aesthetic standards?"

Liu Yifei felt sweet in her heart, and she glanced back at her husband with a hint of affection: "You're so funny."

"Hahaha"

The two of them were very affectionate with each other, and Miss Liu felt that every day with her husband was fresh.

Even the sweet words are never the same.

Aesthetic point of view. Liu Yifei's heart seemed to melt like honey, and the curve of the corners of her mouth became more and more uncontrollable.

She was used to being praised, but her husband's praise always made her jump for joy.

Li Chen stood up with a smile and walked to the dressing table. He leaned over and kissed his wife's tender cheek hard with a look of unsatisfied feeling.

The two of them felt like newlyweds after a short separation, and didn't leave until almost noon.

They first went to Li Chen's parents' villa and delivered the gifts that Liu Yifei bought for her parents-in-law.

With their eldest grandson, Li Chen's parents returned to Beijing, and the house in Qiong Province became their vacation home every winter.

Today is the celebration party for "Chinese Police". "Chinese Police" is in great momentum and has set a new box office record, grossing 11.8 billion yuan.

There is still around 2000 million in box office revenue every day.

China Film announced that the release date of "Chinese Police" will be postponed to November 11th.

In contrast, another main theme film "Qiu Jin" starring Huang Yi disappeared without making any waves.

As for "White Snake" and "Painted Skin", although both have not been removed from theaters yet, their box office potential has been exhausted.

"Painted Skin" came from behind with a box office of 1.7 million, surpassing "White Snake"'s 1.6 million.

Starting from four o'clock in the afternoon, people began to walk onto the red carpet in the CPPCC auditorium one after another.

Receiving invitations from China Film Group and Rongchen Pictures is a certification of one’s status and a symbol of identity.

The red carpet was star-studded, but Chenglong and his son Fang Zuming walked the red carpet separately.

Liu Yan and Colonel Xie Nan from Guangxian appeared beside Wang Changtian.

Chen Kexin and Wu Jinru are still very close.

New director Guo Fan and members of the defense team walked on the red carpet together.

Guo Fan's debut film "The Adventures of Li Xianji" was also released during the National Day holiday, starring Chenglong's beloved son, but it was abandoned by theaters after only one week of release.

The box office of the movie starring my son was over 700 million, and the box office of the movie starring my father was over 7 million.

The gap between father and son makes Fang Zuming, who always says he doesn't want to rely on his father, even more depressed.

When Li Chen and Liu Yifei walked onto the red carpet, they instantly ignited the enthusiasm outside the CPPCC auditorium.

"Yifi! Yifei!"

"Sissi, Leo!"

The cheers from both sides of the red carpet were endless, making Wu Jing, who had just walked across the red carpet, feel lost.

Look at Director Li and Yifei, they are greeted with cheers and applause wherever they go.

I debuted earlier than both of them, but now my status is getting worse.

Even when I confessed my love, I was rejected.

Wu Jing sighed silently in his heart, deliberately stopped and waited for a while at the end of the red carpet.

Not far away, Li Chen and Liu Yifei were surrounded by the media and didn't notice Wu Jing at all.

But Xie Nan came.

"Why don't you go in?"

Changes in relationships often start with changes in the way they address each other.

Xie Nan usually calls Wu Jing "Brother Jing".

now
Wu Jing was quite surprised and said with a cool smile: "Wait for Director Li and the others to say hello."

"Oh"

The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Wu Jing, a straight man, suddenly said sullenly: "You rejected me, so are you going to come over and tell me that we are still brother and sister?"

Xie Nan was speechless; this was her idol.

"I came here to tell you just one thing!"

"What?"

"Next time you confess your love to a girl, don't drink!" After saying that, Xie Nan turned around and left.

Wu Jing was left alone, stunned.

Over there, Li Chen and Liu Yifei had just finished dealing with the media, and happened to see Wu Jing standing alone at the entrance of the inner field, staring blankly at the inner field.

The couple looked at each other and walked over.

"What are you looking at, Director Wu?" Liu Yifei said with a smile.

During her confinement period, she was bored and checked Weibo a lot.

The interaction between this brother and sister, Xie Nan, really made her suspect that there was something going on between them.

Wu Jing came back to his senses and quickly laughed, "Yifei, stop laughing at me. What kind of director am I in front of Director Li?"

"I still call you Old Wu as before."

"I don't dare to do that. Let's just call Director Wu." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Let's go in together." Li Chen didn't ask about Wu Jing.

He is still active in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

Now he has been reduced to playing supporting roles in "Happy Magic", a movie jointly produced by Tianyu and Wong Pak Ming that opens the Lunar New Year box office, with idol actor Wu Zun and newcomer Wu Qianyu, who is highly praised by Wong Pak Ming.

"Haha, whatever you say, Director Li. I just happen to have a question for you."

"You said."

"I have a buddy who really likes your two books, Those Years and To Youth. What does it mean when a girl rejects your love and tells you not to drink next time you confess your love to a girl?"

This question made Liu Yifei and Li Chen laugh out loud at the same time.

"What are you laughing at? I'm asking this on behalf of a friend of mine. He's a big fan of your novels, Director Li."

Li Chen patted Wu Jing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Congratulations, loyal fan."

"Congratulations? Congratulations on what?"

Li Chen shook his head and laughed. Liu Yifei continued, "Xie Nan meant for you to think clearly and confess to her again when you are sober!"

"Ah? You...you all know everything?" Wu Jing opened his mouth wide.

"You two are brothers and sisters encouraging each other, everyone in the circle knows that?" Liu Yifei wanted to laugh when she thought of the two debating on Weibo.

Li Chen added: "People treat you as an idol, but you want to treat them as a partner. You have to give them a psychological change process."

When Wu Jing heard this, he wanted to kneel down to Li Chen.

"Director Li, you are an expert. You even let Yifei marry you. Can you give me some advice? What should I do?"

Inside the venue, the stars saw Wu Jing following Li Chen closely, nodding frequently like a younger brother.

"Ask Yifei how much thought I put into proposing to her. It's nothing like what you did."

"You thought you were drinking to boost your courage and spoke the truth. The girl thought you were drunk and crazy!"

Wu Jing suddenly understood, "I understand!"

Liu Yifei lowered her head and couldn't smile anymore.

"There's one more thing I want to ask you, Director Li." Wu Jing suddenly became serious.

"What do you want to ask? Just say it if you have something to say. It's not like we just met for the first day."

While Li Chen was greeting Huang Xiaoming and several acquaintances, he was listening to Wu Jing telling him that he had been receiving real special forces training in the special forces for the past two years. The filming of "I am a Special Forces Soldier: Blade Out of the Sheath" had just finished.

Wu Jing knew that opportunities were rare and he had to seize them when they came.

Having said so much, the last sentence is the key point: "I want to plan to shoot a movie version of "G.I. Joe". I have already written the script and put it in the car. I will write, direct and act in it myself."

"I know Director Li is always willing to support newcomers and mainstream themes, and the NJ Military Region has also expressed its support for me."

"It's just..." Wu Jing was at a loss for words.

This kind of film can be made with 800 million or 8000 million, but the result is really a matter of pennies.

He lost all his money on his first film, Wolf Tooth, which cost him 400 million yuan.

As a result, his career as a director collapsed right after his debut.

Now I want to work on mainstream military themes. I met with more than a dozen investors, and their heads shook like rattles.

Mr. Wang from Guangxian even kindly advised him: For main theme subjects, he has only seen two people who did not lose money so far.

One is Han Saping who can get all the actors to perform for free, and the other is Director Li next to him.

Others are playing the main melody, but that's like the birthday boy hanging himself because he is tired of living.

It is absolutely impossible for Guangguang to invest in it. You, Wu Jing, are not Li Chen, who can maximize the main theme commercialization.

"If you want to invest, you have to do it yourself." Seeing that Wu Jing couldn't say anything, Li Chen smiled and helped Wu Jing out.

Liu Yifei stood by without saying anything. She never got involved in such investment matters.

"Yes, I wonder if Director Li would like to take a look at the script. It's in the car, I can get it anytime."

Li Chen nodded without saying anything: "Let's talk about this later. I'll go say hello to Director Han and the others."

Wu Jing also saw Chenglong and the others waving to Li Chen.

"Okay, Director Li, I'll wait for your call." Wu Jing forced a smile.

Li Chen's change of subject made him think he was rejected.

This doesn't mean Xie Nan is rejecting his confession. At worst, she can just find another one.

Being rejected by Li Chen means that it will be even more difficult to invest in "Wolf Warrior".

Xie Nanliuyan and several artists from Guangguang also saw this scene.

"Nannan, guess what Director Li and Brother Jing are talking about? Why did he look so happy and smiling just now, but suddenly he looks like an eggplant hit by frost? Do you want to go over and show some concern?" Liu Yan joked with a smile.

The two are best friends, so Liu Yan naturally could not hide Wu Jing's sudden attack from her.

In fact, several people from Guangguang already knew that Wu Jing was interested in Xie Nan.

"Who knows? Just ask Yifei and you'll know." Xie Nan looked at Wu Jing's expression and wanted to go over and comfort him.

Han Sanping, Chenglong and his son, Guo Fan and Chen Kexin stood together, talking and laughing.

It looked like a few old people were encouraging the newcomer Guo Fan.

Cheng Long saw Li Chen and Liu Yifei coming and said with a hearty smile: "Li Chen, Yifei, you are finally here."

"We were just talking about Yifei coming back. I'm afraid Li Chen won't be here early today."

Liu Yifei blushed and smiled: "Brother, you can't blame me. I always listen to him."

Li Chen smiled and nodded to Guo Fan. They were both alumni of Beijing Film Academy. Even though they were not familiar with each other, they knew each other.

The film adaptation rights of Liu Cixin's "The Wandering Earth" have long been in his pocket.

Guo Fan will find me sooner or later.

Guo Fan looked a little embarrassed when the producer of "Li Xian Ji" found him.

He is also very ambitious.

The producers want to win by using genre and carve out a path without having to rely on big directors and big stars.

And he also wants to create a miracle like Li Chen.

As a result, the film, which cost 1500 million yuan to make, only had a box office of over 700 million yuan, and was a complete loss.

The sterile smile seemed as if it had been rehearsed in advance.

Holding Liu Yifei's hand, they seemed like sisters reuniting after many years.

Chen Hong, who was not far away, caught a glimpse of this scene and cursed in her heart, "How shameless!"
Chen Kexin's sudden joining of Rongchen Pictures made Chen Hong feel extremely uncomfortable.

But this was a celebration party for "Chinese Police", not a welcome party for Chen Kexin. She came to give face to Han Sanping and Li Chen on behalf of Chen Kaige.

"Sister Hong." Huang Xiaoming's call of Sister Hong brought Chen Hong back to reality. Looking at Huang Xiaoming who was becoming more and more handsome, Chen Hong secretly gave him a thumbs up.

"It's Xiaoming. He's getting more and more handsome. No wonder he's ranked among the top 50 most beautiful people in our country."

"Hey, Sister Hong, please stop teasing me. Didn't Mr. Ge also make the cut?"

Chen Hong covered her mouth and laughed: "If your uncle Ge hears this, you will suffer the consequences."

Huang Xiaoming has a slightly dark skin. In order to play the role well in "Yue Fei", which was prepared for nearly ten years, he not only performed for free, but also practiced shooting.

Huang Xiaoming said nonchalantly: "Even Uncle Ge said that he was selected based on his talent and he doesn't care at all."

Wu Jing looked around and felt depressed.

Many younger generations who debuted later than him and did not work as hard as he did are now very popular.

The saying "God rewards hard work" is just nonsense to deceive people.

Just when I was about to go over and say hello to a few artists from Guangguang, I saw Xie Nan walking over with a glass of wine.

Wu Jing smiled, thinking to himself that Director Li's guess was right, the little girl still had her own feelings.

"why are you laughing?"

"Will I cry if I see you're not smiling?" Wu Jing said smoothly. Xie Nan had experienced this as early as the first time they met and almost sent her away at that time.

The scene when the two first met suddenly appeared in my mind.

"What perfume do you use?"

"It's from a certain brand called Encounter."

"Is it to meet me?"

Xie Nan thought of the past and felt soft in her heart: "What were you and Director Li talking about just now?"

Wu Jing's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Director Li is matchmaking for me!"

Xie Nan's face froze: "Matchmaking? Then... then you must cherish it."

Xie Nan didn't know why, but when he saw Wu Jing's happy face, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

My usual eloquence is of no use at this moment.

Just as he was about to make an excuse to leave, he heard Wu Jing laugh and say, "Why don't you ask who that girl is?"

"What does it have to do with me who it is?" Xie Nan lowered his head and took the opportunity to blink to squeeze out a tear.

When I looked up again, I became the leading actress in the light again.

Wu Jing was quick-eyed and was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained.

"I was just kidding. Director Li and Yifei just taught me to confess my feelings to you again, without drinking!"

When Xie Nan heard this, he felt like one second was hell and the next was heaven. He glared at Wu Jing angrily without saying a word.

After a while, the two smiled at each other and immediately understood each other's thoughts.

"You're just talking nonsense. I said Director Li is so busy, how can he have the time to be your matchmaker!"

"How can this be nonsense? If Director Li and Yifei hadn't pointed it out to me, I wouldn't have understood what you meant. He is my matchmaker!"

Xie Nan recalled Wu Jing's expression just now and asked again, "But I saw you looked so dejected just now."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, the joy on Wu Jing's face disappeared.

"Don't talk about it anymore."

"Are you in trouble?" Xie Nan was very smart. Just by looking at Wu Jing's expression, he guessed that the other party was in trouble.

Wu Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Director Li also rejected me just now."
