Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 577: Off-stage confrontation

The next day, Yang Siwei responded to the media on behalf of Rongchen Pictures and Zhang Yimou Studio.

"'Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate' was invested with 3500 million US dollars, equivalent to 2.22 million RMB. This investment scale is definitely a blockbuster standard in China, but compared with the million RMB of 'The Flowers of War', it is nothing. 'The Flowers of War' is expected to bring an audio-visual feast to the national audience during the Lunar New Year holiday along with other blockbusters."

Then, Tong Dawei broke the news on Weibo
“There are many war scenes in The Flowers of War. In order to achieve the best special effects, the crew specially invited the British team that was responsible for the war explosion special effects scenes in Saving Private Ryan.”

"The lights used in the big explosions cost $10,000 a bulb!"

Wang Zhonglei was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Is this the win-win cooperation he mentioned?"

Xu Li lowered his head and didn't dare to respond. He added in his mind: What win-win cooperation? It's better to strike first than to gain the upper hand!
Ma Yun was outside the situation and saw everything clearly, so she immediately called Li Chen.

"Luckily, I didn't wait until Journey to the West was released to cash in. I am now 100% sure that your shadow was definitely behind all the 81 trials in Journey to the West."

Ma Yun's words were cryptic, but Li Chen just played dumb: "I don't understand what you are saying, Old Ma."

"Have you read the novel and become stupid? Feng Qingyang has turned into Zhang San crazy!"

"Hahaha, pretend all you want. I think I've seen through you. You're a ruthless person. Those two brothers must have done nothing good in their previous lives to run into you."

"Tell me a little bit about how you plan to deal with Journey to the West!"

Li Chen was secretly complaining in his heart, but he couldn't tell you how to deal with it.

"Lao Ma, you are only reducing your holdings, not clearing them out. As a shareholder of Huayi, you are talking to me about these fictitious things. I doubt your motives!"

"What did I do to make you misunderstand me like this?"

Ma Yun secretly cursed Li Chen for being so shameless, but wasn’t she the same kind of person?

Otherwise how can you succeed.

Huayi didn't have time to fight back.

Nini posted several updates about the crew of "The Flowers of War" in Hollywood on Weibo.

The most eye-catching one is a group photo of the crew and Zhang Yimou and Li Chen.

Add a sentence with three words in the line below.

Director: Zhang Yimou

Producer: Li Chen

Actor: Bell.
Olympic Games.
This picture of Nini became the headline of the entertainment section that day.

The title is eye-catching and dazzling: Mou Girl is on the road to an Oscar!

Countless netizens and fans left messages below.

"A dimensional strike! This is a crushing blow to "Dragon Gate Flying Daggers" in terms of investment cost, special effects, cast, and publicity!"

"With the reputation of Mou and Li, even if "The Flowers of War" is played by strangers, it will still be a great success."

"'The Flowers of War' is competing for an Oscar. There is only one film representing China in the Oscar race every year."

Hua Yi was a beat slow to react, but still took action, though with little effect.

"As the only 3D IMAX Chinese-language film at the end of the year, 'Flying Swords of Dragon Gate' has an advantage!"

"In order to ensure the three-dimensional visual effects of the film, the film invited nine of the world's top special effects companies to join in the post-production special effects production, with as many as 9 special effects shots."

"Director Xu Ke is also very confident about the film's 3D IMAX effects, and boasted that it is no worse than Hollywood movies."

"Jet Li, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, and Gui Lunmei are all big names in the hearts of the Chinese people. Compared with a single Hollywood star, the all-star cast of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is obviously more approachable and more in line with the appetite of the Chinese people!"

Even the words "Hollywood stars supporting" popped up, and Huayi was obviously anxious.

Xu Ke was in a state of panic at the moment! The heated discussion online about the release of "Dragon Gate Flying Daggers" on the same day as "The Flowers of War" was almost unanimous in its negative reviews of "Dragon Gate Flying Daggers", and Wang Zhonglei's wishful thinking failed.

"Boss Wang, I told you not to bring it up, but you refused to listen. What's the point of bringing it up these past two days?"

"Director Xu, stop talking. I don't need you to teach me how to do anything!" Wang Zhonglei hung up Xu Ke's phone with a sullen face and said coldly.

Xu Ke held the phone and sighed deeply: "Chen Kexin still sees it clearly"

Not to mention Xu Ke, even someone as ignorant of the ways of the world as Zhou Xingxing began to worry about "Journey to the West".

The scene at the celebration banquet of "Chinese Police" flashed through Zhou Xingxing's mind again.

Even Director Han was helpless about Li Chen's indifference.

Zhou Xingxing deeply felt Li Chen's status in the domestic entertainment industry.

Will today’s “Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate” be tomorrow’s “Journey to the West”?
In any case, Zhou Xingxing made up his mind to try not to squeeze into the same schedule with Rongchen Pictures.

"We should have brought in Rongchen Pictures just like we did with China Film." Tian Qiwen is very versatile and naturally knows what Zhou Xingxing is worried about.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Forget it, next time, you can do these next time." Zhou Xingxing stroked his long gray hair with his right hand and said in a relaxed manner.

In the eyes of people in the industry, the off-screen fight between Rongchen Pictures and Huayi over "The Flowers of War" and "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" is just short of a physical fight.

The celebrities in the circle who were watching the show were secretly enjoying it but at the same time they all became speechless.

Whenever Rongchen Pictures and Huayi compete, the stars are overwhelmingly optimistic about Rongchen Pictures.

But if you ask them to come out and take sides, the only way is to do that is if they are artists from Rongchen Pictures, such as a big girl from Beijing like Yang Mi.

Li Chen held a farewell party for Tang Yan at home, just like he did for Zhou Xun.

Li Chen sat at the head seat at the long table, and his words, "Rongchen Pictures will always support you," made Tang Yan burst into tears instantly.

Luo Jin and others on the side hurried to comfort him.

When Zhou Xun left, everyone was very restrained.

Tang Yan's crying made Yang Mi and others' eyes red.

"Thank you, boss! Thank you. I know I'm not as talented as Brother Xun, I'm not as strong-willed as Mimi, and I'm not as connected as Xiao Zhu."

Zhu Yawen immediately protested with a smile: "Hey, hey, hey! What do you mean by connections? I caught Director Li's eye based on my ability, okay!"

Zhao Liying whispered: "What are the strengths of my classmates?"

It made everyone present burst into laughter.

Zhu Yawen was speechless.
No wonder Zhao Liying and Zhang Hanyun are called the Rongchen Twin Knives. They would throw knives out of the blue and catch people off guard.

Seeing that the style of the painting was going off track, Yang Siwei stepped out and stopped it with a smile: "Okay, stop talking and listen to Tangtang."

Tang Yan also smiled: "It is said that a man will die for his best friend, and a woman will dress up for the man who pleases her."

When Tang Yan said this, she first glanced at Li Chen, then smiled at Luo Jin beside her.

"No matter how things change in the future, the boss will always be my boss, and that will never change."

As soon as the words fell, Tang Yan raised the half glass of red wine in his hand and drank it all.
Li Chen smiled bitterly and said, "When I hear that, I feel like I've been kidnapped. Is that true?"

Everyone laughed and said in unison: "The boss will always be my boss!"

Only Yang Mi said: "Senior will always be my senior."
