Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 584: The Sky in the Circle
At the master class forum, both foreigners and locals were excited by Li Chen's words.

The media just wanted to confirm once more whether Li Chen drank fake wine before coming.

"You heard me right, I said 40 billion!"

"And it's a guaranteed minimum!"

"In fact, I am being conservative. Given the current domestic market trend, it is very likely that within ten years, it will surpass North America and become the world's largest voting base."

There was an uproar at the scene again. Han Saping's face changed and he unconsciously glanced at the down-and-out mayor Antonio.

"What's wrong with Director Li today? It's so abnormal!"

"Yeah, how is it possible to surpass North America?"

“Unless Hollywood is gone!”

"Keep your voice down, the director of the Luoshan Chicken Factory is still here!"

A group of newcomers in the film industry just felt that Director Li had gone crazy during today's master class.

But what Director Li said was inexplicably inspiring.

A group of foreigners, except for the politician Antonio, had a smile on his face and looked at Li Chen deeply.

Everyone else took it as a joke.

Li Chen also glanced at Antonio, chuckled, and turned his gaze to the reporters on the scene.

The former Oscar president said with a fake smile: "Director Li Chen, what is the basis for your speculation?"

"You know, last year's North American box office was 101.5 billion US dollars, more than five times your mainland box office!"

Han Saping was a little worried about Li Chen. Antonio on the opposite side was an old fox, and Li Chen seemed to be targeting Antonio today.

Wang Zhongjun sneered in his heart: "I'll let you take the limelight, let's see how you end up!"

Without even thinking, Li Chen responded in front of many media: "Chairman Ganis, if I remember correctly, 10 years ago, the North American box office was 50 times ours!"

Han Saping couldn't help but lower his head and coughed twice, almost bursting out laughing.

But in my heart, I gave Li Chen a thumbs up!

Regardless of whether China can surpass North America in the next ten years, what Li Chen said today was quite powerful and humorous.

Many reporters and newcomers in the film industry at the scene smiled, and some couldn't help but applaud Li Chen.

Ganis nodded slightly, thinking that this world-famous oriental director was indeed not simple.

Antonio also applauded, and walked up while clapping and smiling: "Director Li Chen is very confident in the Chinese film market."

"This is very similar to me. I am also very confident in the Chinese market."

"I also want to announce some good news here today."

"A new screen hero planned by the father of superheroes, Stan Lee, is about to be born, and this time he will be a Chinese."

"Stan Lee also said that he was inspired by Deng Ziqi's singing and would create a Chinese superheroine based on her."

"This is also Hollywood's contribution to Director Li Chen's goal of 400 billion box office."

Han Sanping, Yu Dong, Wang Zhongjun and a group of new filmmakers at the scene just smiled and applauded.

But the media reporters were in an uproar.

There are even African superheroes, so there should have been an Asian one long time ago.

This news is no less than a bombshell.

"Mayor Antonio, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, every culture needs its own superhero, and I think that's a brilliant idea."

"It is what Hollywood filmmakers should do to provide an opportunity for cooperation between the American and Chinese film industries and to create a superhero that everyone can love for Chinese and American children." Antonio smiled like a messenger of God who came to the world to spread the gospel.

Only Li Chen felt extremely disgusted. He said so much just to attract more domestic investment for the Luoshan Chicken Factory.

Li Chen's guess was correct. As expected, Antonio smiled again and said, "Luoshanji is a city with a great fusion of global cultures. Its residents come from more than 140 countries and regions, with more than 200 languages ​​and dialects. There are 37 ethnic groups whose population in Luoshanji is second only to their own ancestral place."

"Even Chiyou Pictures, directed by Li Chen, fell in love with our Luoshan Chicken."

"We encourage diversity. Our strength comes from Asia, Latin America, Europe and Africa. It is a place with strong action power. If you want to achieve something, just go for it." Otonio looked at Li Chen with a smile.

Li Chen got goose bumps all over his body when he saw it.

Li Chen thought about it carefully. Superhero? Or one of ours? Was it caused by Deng Ziqi?
But after thinking about it, I couldn't remember there was such a person.

Suddenly, the smile on Antonio's face when he mentioned Chiyou Pictures flashed through Li Chen's mind, and he suddenly understood.

The so-called superhero is the one in the movie "Panda vs. Aliens", which is so ridiculous that he is not even a human being.

After the master class ended, Han Saping accompanied Antonio, and Li Chen was also surrounded by the former chairman of Oscar and several vice presidents of Warner.

"(Ying) Li, I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but unfortunately I'm too busy and you're not often at Luoshanji." Antonio walked up to Li Chen with a smile, accompanied by Han Sanping, and shook hands with him.

"I am flattered by what you said, Mr. Mayor. I am just an ordinary Chinese filmmaker."

Yu Dong on the side was laughing, his face full of flesh trembling, and he secretly thought that Li Chen was really good at pretending.

If you are fucking ordinary, then I am just ordinary!

"Hahaha, you are too modest. If you had ten ordinary filmmakers like you, then maybe what you just said about surpassing the North American box office market within ten years would really be possible."

Li Chen also laughed out loud: "Then I have to say that there are more than ten ordinary filmmakers like me."

Everyone laughed and was even more impressed with Li Chen.

This Oriental man not only has quick wits, but also has a Western sense of humor.

The show didn't end until almost nine o'clock in the evening. Han Saping was very happy today.

He got directly into Li Chen's car and asked someone to take him back.

Han Saping and Li Chen bent over and got into the back seat, and the driver slowly started the car.

Han Saping's eyes lit up, his face full of joy: "Do you really think we can exceed 400 billion in five years and surpass North America in ten years?"

If someone else said this, Han Saping would just think he was crazy.

But Li Chen is different. He not only won the 10 billion century gamble with the eight major cinema chains.

He also forced Zhang Weiping, the big shot, to retire early.

He is the undisputed big shot in the circle in Asia, and his brilliance almost overshadows him, the head of China Film Group.

Now, even he himself is unwilling to offend Li Chen easily.

Li Chen looked calm and said with a smile: "Boss Han, we have known each other for nine years, right?"

"When have you ever seen me brag?"

"No!" Han Sanping replied quickly.

Not really. Although Li Chen often makes shocking remarks, he has never boasted.

"I see that you don't seem to have any interest in the superhero Antonio mentioned?" Han Sanping said again.

Just now, Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong both rushed in front of Antonio like green-headed flies seeing shit.

The participation and investment of superheroes were always mentioned in his every sentence. Only Li Chen ignored it, which almost hurt Antonio internally. In the end, Antonio took the initiative to ask Li Chen if he was interested.

But Li Chen was so generous as to give it to Yu Dong and Wang Zhongjun.

The two of them burst into laughter at that time.

Yu Dong wanted to worship Li Chen.

He was asked to invest in "The Flowers of War" and was willing to give up the big superhero cake.

Why didn’t I realize that Li Chen was a good person before?

This is probably what Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong really think.

"Boss Han, have you forgotten what I told you the other day? Anyone who believes in the American gift is an idiot."

Han Sanping laughed loudly: "You, you are such a sly guy!"

Han Sanping thought Li Chen had inside information, after all, Li Chen had many connections in Hollywood.

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

Little did they know that Li Chen was just a prophet who had foresight.

Masterclass Li Chen's bold statement topped the hot search list and made the front page headlines of the portal website's entertainment section that night.

At the same time, the explosive news that Deng Ziqi was nominated for a Grammy Award was also reported from the other side of the ocean.

Beijing News
"On November 11, the film "Happy Magic" invested and produced by Tianyu had its grand premiere in Beijing."

"However, Wu Zun, Yan Ni, Huang Baiming, Gu Tianle and other main creators were nowhere to be seen at the premiere. Instead, they were replaced by a bunch of new talents under Tianyu, some of whom we didn't even know their names."

Sina Entertainment Report
"Li Chen's Outlook: The mainland box office will exceed 40 billion in five years, surpass North America in ten years and become the world's largest box office."

"Leo refuted the former Oscar chairman: Ten years ago, the North American box office was fifty times the domestic box office, but ten years later, it is only five times."

“Antonio revealed that the father of Marvel will create a Chinese superhero.”

"The father of Marvel was inspired by Deng Ziqi's singing and wanted to create a Chinese superhero based on Deng Ziqi."

Sina Music Report
"According to foreign media reports, the nomination party for the 54th Grammy Awards was held at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles at 11 p.m. local time on November 30."

"Among the nominations announced that night, China's popular female singer Deng Ziqi led the Grammy Awards with 7 Grammy nominations, surpassing rapper Kanye West and British famous singer Adele, who both received nominations."

"These include three very important nominations: Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Single of the Year."

"The four singles "Unstoppable", "Dream it possible", "Fade" and "Sold out" have occupied four spots in the top ten of the Billboard singles chart for four consecutive weeks."

"Deng Ziqi burst into tears on the spot and thanked his boss Li Chen for his cultivation and recognition."

Netizens and Li Chen’s fans were delighted and left messages of support.

"Leo is so smart. We have grown mushrooms. What does the box office matter?"

"For Leo, I'll buy double tickets next time!"

"Even the mayor can't suppress Leo's momentum."

What no one expected was that with just one word from Li Chen, the share prices of film and television stocks such as Huayi, Guangxian, Bona, and Huace all rose to varying degrees.

The industry was stunned.

Daily Economic News Report
"On the first trading day of December, four film and television stocks rose due to Li Chen's 40 billion yuan outlook and the two blockbuster films "The Flowers of War" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate."

"Berna Films leads the way, up 4.86%"

Wang Zhonglei couldn't curse this time, but he felt worse than eating a fly.

Since when did they start looking at Leo DiCaprio instead of Feng Xiaogang for Huayi’s stock?

Just one damn word can make the stock go up.

This guy is going to become the godfather in the circle.

"Brother, should we give him a call to thank him?" Wang Zhonglei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Wang Zhongjun also felt quite embarrassed: "It seems unreasonable not to fight, so let's fight one."

".All right!"

Celebrities in the circle also have this feeling, as if Director Li is the god in the circle.

One word or one action can change the situation.

Making an artist or singer famous is as easy as Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts.

The now obscure Zhang Hanyun is more popular than the one in "Sour Sweet" back then.

Beijing Film Academy newcomer Zhu Yilong is now a popular first-line actor in mainland China.

Among the four young beauties selected in 09, excluding Liu Yifei, two of them are from Rongchen Pictures.

Deng Ziqi went from being a contestant of The Voice to being nominated for a Grammy in just three years, beating out Adele and Kanye!
This is even more unbelievable than aliens landing on Earth, but reality is so cruel.

Li Chen did not expect that one sentence would cause the stock price to fluctuate. The leader of the bureau also called him and asked him how sure he was about the 40 billion he mentioned.

This made Li Chen a little speechless. Who is the one at the helm?

Wang Zhonglei called and complimented Li Chen with a smile.

But he said nice things, but then he moved "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" to 15:14 on the th, four hours earlier than "The Flowers of War".

The movie "Happy Magic", which Huayi also participated in investing, was released nationwide on the 1st, but unfortunately the screening rate was terrible.

According to Ye Ning, Wanda placed the order the next day.

The film crew shouted: We want fair treatment, we want just treatment.

The first day box office is unknown, the first week box office is also unknown, and the film company is even more vague. In a nutshell: it was a complete failure.

Wang Zhonglei had just thanked Li Chen when he started to curse: "Wanda is a snob. If this movie was produced by Rongchen Films, I think Wanda would want to replace "The Feast of Hongmen" with "Happy Magic"!"

The premiere of "The Flowers of War" in Beijing was a big event in the circle.

The thirteen producers are eager to make the event known to the whole world.

Sina Entertainment News

"The world premiere of the 2011 war epic The Flowers of War, adapted from Yan Geling's novel of the same name and created by renowned director Zhang Yimou, will be held on December 12."

“这部历时五年、斥资六亿打造的史诗级巨片将于12月16日全线登陆全国影院，12月15日18时部分影院将超前点映。”

"Yesterday, when the media called Tian Hua, the chief director of the "Premiere" column, they were surprised to learn that the world premiere of "The Flowers of War" was the first live broadcast of the "Premiere" column of the Film Channel since its launch."

"Let us all look forward to the world premiere of Zhang Yimou's 12 war epic The Flowers of War and the Light of Humanity on December 11, the premiere column of the Film Channel."

Chen Hong called Li Chen and said that Ge Hong CP was busy filming "Search" in Ningbo and couldn't be there, so she was really sorry.

Li Chen understood very well.

But Li Chen had no idea that Mr. Ge was directing a birthday celebration for Hong and had no time to pay attention to him and Zhang Yimou.

It was not until the premiere of "The Flowers of War" that Li Chen saw the couple's passionate love on the Internet.

The greeting card written by Wang Luodan gave Li Chen goosebumps all over his body.
