Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 583 I Dare to Assert
Li Chen just glanced at Kun Ling politely and then turned his gaze to Zhou Jielun: "Sit down, just treat it as your own home, don't be polite."

Jay Chou and Kun Ling laughed and said, "Well, I told you he's a very easy person to get along with."

Kun Ling pulled the corner of Jay Chou's clothes, signaling him to shut up.

Li Chen laughed and said, "What do you mean? Is my reputation so scary?"

Jay Chou sat down comfortably on the three-seater leather sofa in the main seat and said with a smile: "Don't you know your reputation?"

"Ask Siwei, which artist wouldn't be scared of you?"

"Kunling is a girl, don't scare her."

Li Chen laughed out loud, "How dare you tell me that you scared the girl? Who of us looks scarier? Yang Siwei, please give me some fair words."

Yang Siwei has both high IQ and EQ. He pulled Kun Ling affectionately to sit on the double sofa next to Li Chen and Zhou Jielun.

Hearing the boss suddenly call his name, he immediately regained his consciousness and said with a smile: "Boss, neither you nor Jay Chou win by appearance, I don't think there is any need to compare who is better."

Jay Chou also laughed and said: "Exactly, I rely on my voice!"

Jay Chou originally wanted to say that it was his talent that counted, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that pervert Li Chen, whose composing skills were no worse than his, so he changed his mind.

Kun Ling smiled, and through the glass window behind Li Chen and Zhou Jielun, she actually saw the imperial palace. It would be even clearer during the day.

The few of them chatted and laughed, and Kun Ling quickly became familiar with Yang Siwei.

"I'm afraid I'll have to withdraw from The Voice next year as I need to prepare for my concert at the Singapore F1 circuit in September."

Li Chen nodded. He had heard about this too.

"No problem. Come and play whenever you want. There's always a seat for you on The Voice."

"What a good friend! Have you got your role in the movie 'Vientiane Island'?" Jay Chou asked casually.

Li Chen glanced at him and smiled, "Are you asking for someone else? Xie Tingfeng?"

Jay Chou nodded and did not hide it.

"It's settled, but not with him."

"Why? Because of Yang Mi?"

Li Chen didn't say anything, just picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Yang Siwei said with a smile: "Mr. Jay, if it weren't for Yang Mi, the boss wouldn't be so stingy."

"Xie Tingfeng was not chosen because he didn't fit the role. To put it bluntly, his temperament and demeanor don't look like a soldier or a scientist."

Jay Chou nodded and smiled, "It's okay, I just asked casually, I don't care whether he gets elected or not."

"Who are you going to let take over from me in the next season of The Voice? Do you have anyone?"

Li Chen glanced at Jay Chou in surprise, wondering why Jay Chou was so concerned about his company's affairs today.

Yang Siwei mentioned before that Huo Wenxi had asked indirectly whether the list of mentors for the fourth season of "The Voice of China" had been finalized.

Could it be related to Xie Tingfeng?
"Don't look at me like that, he wants to take over from me and be on your Voice of China!" Jay Chou couldn't resist Li Chen's gaze and told the truth.

Li Chen nodded: "You are a friend, let me be frank, he is not qualified to be a mentor."

Kun Ling, who was standing by, thought to herself that the rumor that Director Li was sharp-tongued was absolutely true.

If this news gets out, Xie Tingfeng's fans will probably be angry.

Kun Ling used her eyes to stop Jay Chou from continuing this topic.

Jay Chou understood what he meant and said no more.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when several people left the club.

After returning to the hotel, Jay Chou sent a text message to Tingfeng Xie, telling her that Li Chen had been chosen as the mentor for the fourth season.

Xie Tingfeng sighed inwardly and forwarded it to Huo Wenxi.

Huo Wenxi replied immediately: It’s okay, I’ll find a way.

The next day, Li Chen was invited to attend the Beijing Master Class Forum.

On the same day, the launch conference of "Guns and Bullets" starring Yin Xiaotian was held.

At the forum, foreigners dressed in suits and leather shoes chatted and laughed with more than 60 young filmmakers present. Han Sanping and Li Chen were also accepting media interviews. Yu Dong pushed Wang Zhongjun aside and stood next to Han Sanping.

As a result, he and Han Saping became the center, with Li Chen and Wang Zhongjun standing on both sides.

Li Chen couldn't help but want to laugh. Yu Dong's little action of pulling Wang Zhongjun just now reminded him of Trump's arrogant appearance of grabbing the C position in his previous life.

But even if Yu Dong stood in the C position, the media only focused on Li Chen and Han Sanping.

Han Saping was full of enthusiasm and smiled at the many media in front of him: "In the next five to eight years, the number of screens in mainland China will exceed 3, and the annual box office of movies will reach 300 billion yuan."

Yu Dong was afraid of being ignored, so he smiled and said loudly: "What Mr. Han said is right, but I think Mr. Han is a little conservative."

"Now our mainland movie box office will continue to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 30%."

"In addition, our annual film output will remain at around 700 in the future, which is a landmark number."

The media and foreigners are discussing this issue, saying that 300 billion is a conservative number, so how much is not conservative?

Han Saping smiled without saying anything, secretly cursing Yu Dong for being so arrogant.

"Mr. Yu, what do you think the mainland box office will reach in the next 5 to 8 years?" asked a Sina reporter.

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

Yu Dong raised his head and chest and smiled: "I think 350 billion should not be a big problem."

Yu Dong was very proud and felt that he had reached the peak of his life today. Even Han Saping was surpassed by him.

Thinking that Han Saping would only work for three more years at most and would have retired after five years, and that he might need his help in the future, he was not afraid of anything.

Wang Zhongjun's smile seemed to be frozen, and he cursed Fatty Yu in his heart for trying to attract attention.

This is just like at an auction. Yu Dong quoted 350 billion, which is basically a sky-high price. Who would dare to quote another price? Aren’t they afraid of being slapped in the face in five years?
You don’t have to wait five years. If you make the headlines today, there will be netizens teaching you how to behave and speak humanly.

Han Sanping cursed in his heart, "If you can't reach 350 billion, I'll settle the score with you again."

The Sina reporter turned the spotlight back to Li Chen: "Director Li, what do you think?"

Li Chen nodded and smiled: "Mr. Yu is right!"

As soon as he said this, Han Saping's face turned black, and he cursed Li Chen in his heart, saying that he was an ungrateful person just like Yu Dong. He thought Li Chen would stand on his side.

But Li Chen’s next words left Han Saping, Yu Dong and others dumbfounded.

"Mr. Yu is right. 300 billion is too conservative. However, Mr. Han's position requires that it is more pragmatic to be conservative."

Yu Dong looked embarrassed: "Yes, yes," and thought to himself that Li Chen was so damn cunning.

"I think Mr. Yu is the one who is really conservative."

"I dare to assert that within five years, the mainland box office will exceed 400 billion yuan, which is just a guarantee."

There was an uproar at the scene, and even foreigners such as former Oscar President Sidney, Warner Bros. Senior Vice President John, and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

They kept talking to each other.

"Is he crazy?"

"Last year, the total box office in North America was only 100 billion US dollars!"

"He must not be awake yet."

Han Sanping, Yu Dong, Wang Zhongjun and more than 60 new filmmakers at the scene were all stunned.

Yu Dong was startled at first, then the corner of his mouth curled up, and then he quickly became solemn again as if he had learned that Yuan Li was getting married.

I feel relieved and happy, but I also have to try my best to be patient.

Wang Zhongjun just glanced at Li Chen's confident look, but sneered in his heart.

Only Han Sanping was truly moved.

But he also felt that Li Chen was being impulsive. Even if he wanted to stand up for him and curry favor with him, he wouldn't have to work so hard.

The media woke up from their dream.

"Director Li, can you tell me again?"

"Director Li, is the minimum guarantee 40 billion?"
