Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 604: A Man's Distance
The interview with Times ended, and neither Lao Mouzi, Nini, nor anyone else dared to mention Li Chen's answer, which was a lie with his eyes open.

Every year during Oscar season, Beverly Hills is crowded with superstars.

Upon learning that Li Chen had arrived in Hollywood, Leon, Theron, Scarlett and other acquaintances called to greet him, and all they said was that they would find time to get together.

Since they were not nominated and were not Oscar presenters, it was not easy for a few of them to walk the Oscar red carpet.

Li Qiaoqiao and Zhang Ziyi came directly to the door.

The former called Liu Yifei and said he wanted to see Yifei's Crystal Wu.

The latter called Li Chen and Director Zhang Yimou and praised them highly, showing the attitude that this year's Oscar winners only followed the lead of Mr. Li and Director Li.

Li Qiaoqiao had just gotten out of the car at the main entrance and was looking left and right at the neatly trimmed lawns on both sides and the helipad clearly visible in the distance.

When I was sighing in my heart that the mansion Director Li gave to Liu Yifei was really inhumane, the door of Shuijing Wu in the distance opened again, and another black Mercedes-Benz slowly drove in.

Li Qiaoqiao turned her head to look, and Zhang Ziyi in the car immediately saw Li Qiaoqiao in a black miniskirt.

At this Oscars, Zhang Yimou and Li Chen are definitely their backbone.

In Hollywood, some people may not know Zhang Ziyi and Li Qiaoqiao, but there is absolutely no one who doesn’t know Li Chen.

Zhang Ziyi got out of the car and took the initiative to wave to Li Qiaoqiao with a smile: "Qiaoqiao."

There was no sign on her face of any resentment about the theft of "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan".

"It's Ziyi. If I had known you were coming, we would have come together." Li Qiaoqiao's smile was still impeccable.

Before the two of them even met Zhang Yimou and Li Chen, they were already competing with each other in acting skills.

Zhang Ziyi's failure lies in the fact that her frame cannot support the equipment, and her fashion sense is also hard to describe. No matter what she wears, it doesn't look like something that matches her status.

She was wearing a knee-length patchwork dress, black on top and blue on the bottom, with her hair tied up high. She was clearly several years younger than Li Qiaoqiao, but you couldn't tell at all.

"Director Li is here, so we should take the initiative to express our gratitude. We can't just let Director Li invite you and me, right?"

"That's right. I didn't expect Director Li to be the award presenter." Shuijing Wu's maid led the way in front, and the two of them walked and talked behind.

"Who would have thought of that? But it's not surprising. Director Li's status and position make him more than qualified to present an award."

"Yifei is lucky. As a red carpet guest, she enjoys the same treatment as the award presenter." Zhang Ziyi's words were insincere, but you couldn't tell at all.

Li Qiaoqiao quickly responded: "You mean, Yifei will walk the red carpet with Director Li?"

"That's for sure. They are a couple. The Oscars gave Yifei a red carpet guest just for their own face. They can't give Yifei an award presenter as well, right?"

Zhang Ziyi guessed correctly.

Inside the villa, Li Chen and his wife were also talking about this matter.

"The red carpet has always been the runway for you female stars. We men are just supporting roles on the red carpet. As the saying goes, a red flower needs green leaves to set it off. Honey, I will be your green leaf. I have no choice but to be your green leaf."

In Miss Liu's dressing room, LV sent two sets of high-end custom-made clothes for Miss Liu to choose from, and Gucci sent a set of shining jewelry.

Li Chen sat leisurely aside and admired Miss Liu's dress-up show.

"Director Li is so sweet! If Leon and Charlize are not here, won't the Oscars be a little dim?"

"No, the red carpets of the three major European film festivals may suffer from the embarrassment of lack of star power, but this will never happen at the Oscars, as this is where stars are mass-produced."

“Pick any one of them and they will shine brightly on the red carpets of the three major European hotels.”

Liu Yifei nodded: "I'll go with you, the organizer won't have any objections, right?"

Li Chen said with a smile: "What do they have to say? We are husband and wife, so we should walk together. Have you seen a few couples walking separately on the red carpet?"

When Miss Liu heard this, she walked over leisurely, sat on Li Chen's lap with a sweet smile, her fragrance filled the air, and her white arms around Li Chen's neck.

Li Chen reached out with one hand, wrapped it around Miss Liu's waist and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"What did you say?"

"I said, have you seen a few couples walking separately on the red carpet?"

"Not this one, the previous one!"

"Previous sentence?" Li Chen frowned slightly, not knowing what Miss Liu meant.

"I said, we are husband and wife, so we should go together."

Miss Liu nodded with satisfaction. I don’t know what she was thinking about. She smiled sweetly, like a tempting red apple.

Li Chen couldn't help but peck her on the lips: "What are you thinking about? Am I wrong?"

Miss Liu did not explain. She smiled and nimbly got up to escape from Li Chen's clutches: "I won't tell you."

"Sir, Madam, the guests have arrived."

Li Qiaoqiao and Zhang Ziyi came today, and Li Chen did not pretend to be polite. He not only entertained them warmly, but also reminded them: "It is not surprising that female stars compete for beauty on the red carpet, but don't forget that the protagonists this time are not Chinese."

It was not until they left Crystal Wu that the two slowly came to their senses.

"Sister Deng, do you mean that Director Li is warning me and Zhang Ziyi?"

In Wendi Deng's private residence, Li Qiaoqiao revealed every detail of his experience with Shuijing Wu.

"Yes."

Li Qiaoqiao nodded, and then remembered something: "Sister, have you figured out the reason why Director Li met your husband?"

Wendi Deng shook her head: "There is nothing to talk about between him and me right now."

Li Qiaoqiao really wanted to slap himself in the face for bringing up things that were not relevant.

After sending Li Qiaoqiao and Zhang Ziyi away, Liu Yifei dressed up fresh and beautifully, with a black and white long-sleeved shawl on the upper body and a loose straight-leg black and white striped pants on the lower body.

With her long hair loose and flowing casually draped over her shoulders, she wore burgundy sunglasses and carried an LV bag in her hand. She excitedly accompanied Li Chen to the Highland Center to attend the rehearsal of the Oscar Awards ceremony.

The Kodak Theatre is now history, and the Academy Awards have announced a new venue, the Highland Center.

As soon as the two arrived at the scene, they saw a lot of traffic outside the venue. It was crowded with people. Many fans came to see her. Many local Chinese shouted Miss Liu's name loudly. There were also many fans of the big-mouthed beauty Jolie and Tom Cruise.

Escorted into the inner field by staff and security personnel, the two immediately became the focus of everyone.

The big-mouthed beauty Julie saw Li Chen at a glance, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she walked up quickly.

Her husband Pitt followed closely behind, and Tom Cruise was also curious about this most mysterious boss in Hollywood, so he followed.

"Long time no see, Li (Ying)!"

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Nice to meet you, Crystal. You're still so beautiful. You don't look like you've had a child at all. Unlike me, I'm old." Julie walked forward and gave Li Chen and Liu Yifei a close hug with a smile.

"No way, you haven't changed at all. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have been able to tell that you already had three children." Liu Yifei responded enthusiastically.

A pair of eyes glanced at Li Chen beside him.

The funny thing that happened when I watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Li Chen came to my mind.

The last time the four met was at the premiere of "Rip Off", where Jolie and Pitt were invited by Warner Bros. to support the film.

"Nice to meet you, Li. Let me introduce you. This is Tom Cruise. I heard that you would be coming today, so he asked me to introduce you two to each other." Pete hugged Li Chen and smiled heartily.

"Nice to meet you, Li, just call me Tom." Tom Cruise extended his hand.

"I've known you for a long time. Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible fascinated many Chinese audiences." Li Chen said with a smile. Julie glared at Pique and said, "Li, do you know what I regret most in my life?"

Pitt smiled dumbly: "She said that the thing she regretted most was that she missed "Thieves" because of her pregnancy, and Charlize took advantage of it."

"From now on, her work "Salt" will be overshadowed by your work "Inception"."

"It's all because of you, otherwise how could I have missed "Rip Off"!" Jolie laughed and scolded Pitt.

Several people talked about Zhang Yimou's "The Flowers of War" again, and the staff took Li Chen to familiarize himself with the location and lines.

Jolie and Pitt stood in the audience and chatted with Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei was sharp-eyed and accidentally discovered that Julie was wearing a huge diamond ring on the ring finger of her left hand.

"This ring is so beautiful." Liu Yifei grabbed Julie's hand and smiled mischievously.

Jolie gave Pitt a sweet look and admitted generously: "We are getting engaged."

"You and Li Ke must come to the wedding." Pete immediately extended the invitation.

"Well, we will definitely come when we have time." Liu Yifei agreed readily.

"What about you two? I heard from Leon that you two are going to have your wedding this year. Remember to notify us then. If Pete and I are free, we will definitely come." Julie said with a smile.

Liu Yifei also said generously: "Well, don't worry, you will definitely be included in the invitation."

"Bring your children along when the time comes."

As soon as the two mothers started talking about their children, they started chatting.

Julie likes children, and Miss Liu likes them even more.

On the way back, Li Chen asked Miss Liu: "Julie is not simple, her life is almost a legend."

"What do you mean?" Miss Liu glanced at Li Chen.

"What I mean is that you can learn acting skills from her, but there is no need for anything else." Li Chen said with a smile.

Miss Liu nodded, seeming to understand.

"I don't think you're very interested in the movie 'Unbreakable' she just told you about."

Miss Liu is indeed the person who knows Li Chen best.

"Yes, the subject matter is good, but women are too emotional. A director needs to think rationally."

"She thinks that I can vote for "The Flowers of War" and "Indestructible" as well?"

"Besides, she and Pete are not short of investment."

During the Oscars, several Chinese actors shared their daily lives on Weibo.

Li Qiaoqiao shared a photo with Hollywood stars, but she couldn't be seen in the center of the photo.

They are all Hollywood big names.

Zhang Ziyi shared a gathering of female Oscar filmmakers, so her identity as an Oscar judge was inevitably brought up again.

However, it is not difficult to see Zhang Ziyi's loneliness when she is surrounded by a group of old women.

Only Liu Yifei shared Crystal Wu's daily life.

Fans strongly requested Liu Yifei to share a photo with a celebrity.

Before Liu Yifei posted, a rehearsal photo shared by Jolie on the social media platform instantly sparked heated discussion among domestic netizens.

Sina Entertainment News

"The 2th Academy Awards ceremony will be held in Los Angeles, USA in the morning on February 27, BJ time."

"Angelina Jolie, an invited guest presenter at this year's Oscars, shared a photo of the awards rehearsal on her social media platform."

"From left to right in the photo are Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Liu Yifei, Li Chen, Tom Cruise, and Halle Berry."

"Liu Yifei, who is in the center position, is undoubtedly the most dazzling star in the hexagram."

"Leonardo, Scarlett Johansson and others left comments to tease Liu Yifei."

Now the fans of Tianxian were completely excited.

"The fairy always takes center stage wherever she goes. This is fate, you can't envy her."

"With the inadvertent counterattack from Queen Julie, Li Qiaoqiao and Zhang Ziyi probably want to return to China."

"Zhang Ziyi is a well-known figure and has a clear mind. She knows that the difference between her and Liu Yifei is not just in looks. The most fundamental difference is the distance of a man between them."

"What the above person said is absolutely right. If Zhang Guoji had tied up Mr. Huo or ViVi, at least he wouldn't be beaten by the celestial being."

"Although Li Qiaoqiao hooked up with Deng Wendi, she is just a vassal, no matter how beautiful she is."

Liu Yifei was speechless when she saw the comments online.

She really had no intention of comparing herself to Li Qiaoqiao and Zhang Ziyi.

As a result, a call came to Julie, and Liu Yifei was stunned.

"Sister, I asked you to send me a photo, why did you post it on social media?"

"Didn't Li ask me to post it? I thought he meant what you meant."

"what?"

After a while, Liu Yifei finally responded: "You mean, Li Chen asked you to send it?"

Jolie didn't take it seriously at all and joked: "Of course it's him. Who else can Pitt and I not refuse?"

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen just came out of the shower.

Ms. Liu immediately began to solve the case: "Did you ask Julie to send the photo?"

Li Chen admitted it straightforwardly: "It's me."

"Did you also deliberately arrange for you and me to stand in the middle when taking the group photo?"

Li Chen smiled and shook his head: "How can this be called intentional? I just gave up the C position, and you see which of them is willing to stand there."

Liu Yifei's little brain seemed to be insufficient, and she thought about it seriously. It seemed that what Li Chen said was right.

Julie hopes that Li Chen will invest in "Unbroken" and help her improve the script.

Pitt and Jolie are husband and wife, so naturally Pitt follows Jolie's lead.

Tom Cruise and Black Pearl Sister both knew Li Chen's strength in Hollywood. Even the vice president of Warner and the president of Chi You followed him around like his subordinates to listen to their arrangements.

Even two Hollywood bigwigs didn't dare to make a thorn.

"Why do this?"

"Why? Because I can't bear to see you being wronged. If anyone dares to steal your limelight, I'll kill one of them. If there are two of them, I'll kill both of them!"

"Another reason is that I can't stand seeing Chinese actresses treating Hollywood celebrities like treasures like these two do. It's shameful!"
