Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 607: The Horror of Fan Economy

China News Service, New York, February 27

"The 84th Academy Awards ceremony was held in Los Angeles this evening, Pacific Time."

"The Flowers of War, directed by Chinese mainland director Zhang Yimou, won the Best Foreign Language Film Award. This is the first time a mainland film has won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar."

"The Academy Awards ceremony is held every year. It is divided into several groups according to the nature of the work, and is voted by more than 5,000 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences."

"At the awards ceremony, Zhang Yimou held the Oscar statuette in his hand and calmly thanked everyone who participated in the filming of the film."

"The most eye-catching part of today's awards ceremony was the acceptance speeches and awards given by two of China's most outstanding directors, as well as the English translators Liu Yifei and Nini."

"It is understood that Liu Yifei's guest role as English translator was a sudden idea of ​​Li Chen. It is well known that Li Chen can speak English."

Sina Entertainment News

"The movie "Qian Xuesen", starring Chen Kun and Zhang Yuqi and to be released on March 3, has recently released its final trailer. The suspense and tension in the movie make people want to explore the content of the movie."

"It is reported that as a major production of the Xi'an Film Group in 2012, Qian Xuesen used a large number of state secret archives for the first time, deeply revealing Qian Xuesen's extraordinary life trajectory."

“The film’s soundtrack is majestic and grand, and the special effects scenes such as rockets taking off and missiles falling to the ground and exploding are even more impressive. The music and the pictures complement each other and are extremely impactful.”

"On March 3, all the unknowns and truths will be revealed with the release of the film Qian Xuesen."

No one expected that this year's Oscars ratings would break historical records.

No one expected that Chinese would become the hottest topic at this year's Oscars.

On the hot searches on domestic Weibo, the term "Chinese" topped the list.

Zhang Yimou speaks Chinese because he is not good at speaking English.

Leo's sudden idea became a hot topic among netizens and fans.

Although he can speak English, he went straight to the Oscars stage with his wife as translator.

At the Vanity Fair dinner after the Oscars, Li Chen asked Tim to represent him.

I returned to Crystal Wu with Miss Liu.

After getting in the car, Miss Liu finally couldn't help it and pulled Li Chen to ask angrily: "Why do you suddenly want me to be your translator?"

"You didn't even tell me in advance. When I'm with you, the next second I'm either surprised or frightened!"

Li Chen laughed: "Some people can't speak Chinese but insist they like China, and some people can speak English but deliberately don't. Why do you think they do that?"

Liu Yifei nodded, not quite understanding.

Li Chen pinched her 999 innocent chin and said with a smile: "Silly girl, you and I represent more than just you and me at the Highland Center."

If Liu Yifei still doesn't understand what is said, then she really should go take an IQ test.

"You are the only one who is so cunning. Can you tell me in advance next time?"

Before Li Chen had time to reply to her, Han Sanding called.

"Come back quickly! The celebration banquet has been prepared for you and Zhang Yimou!" Although Han Sanping's tone was calm, Li Chen could still hear that Old Han was suppressing his excitement.

"Hurry up, Mr. Han, there are still some things to take care of."

Han Sanping nodded. Li Chen is no longer a college student at the film academy.

Instead, he is a wealthy man who owns several companies and has a net worth of tens of billions.

"Then do it as soon as possible. The premiere of Qian Xuesen will be held at the end of the month. I'm afraid you and Yifei won't be able to come back."

"You can come back." Li Chen just said briefly.

Han Saping was very relieved.

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei said nothing.

She has always been clear about this.

In the words of her husband, it was so difficult and precious for Mr. Qian to return to China.
Before Li Chen returned to China, the dispute between Zhao and Zhen in his previous life had already begun to emerge.

Unfortunately, at this time, Zhao Wenzhuo did not realize what it meant to strike first and gain the upper hand and seize the highest point of public opinion.

And Li Chen didn't have time to pay attention to such trivial matters.

Li Chen's private plane slowly landed at the Beijing Airport.

The next day, the premiere of "Qian Xuesen" was held in Beijing.

The online incident involving Zhao Zhen also broke out on the same day.

Beijing News reported

"Recently, a Hong Kong media outlet broke the news that kung fu superstar Zhao Wenzhuo was fired by the crew for acting like a big shot on the set of his new film "Special Identity" with Zhen Zidan and Jing Tian."

"Kick them out of the hotel - the crew said the overspending was really serious."

"The film "Special Identity" currently in production has attracted attention from all walks of life because it brings together two Kung Fu superstars, Zhen Zidan and Zhao Wenzhuo. However, before the filming of the film was completed, news broke that Zhao Wenzhuo refused to participate in the filming because the script had been changed too much."

"The crew of "Special Identity" said that on February 2, the crew sent Zhao Wenzhuo the script that was being adjusted, but his agent said that the script had been changed too much, "I can't accept the notice!"

"Helplessly, the conflict between the two sides escalated again today. The crew of "Special Identity" sent an email to Zhao Wenzhuo: "The crew of "Special Identity" will no longer provide hotel accommodation for Mr. Zhao Wenzhuo. I hope your company can understand because the crew's overspending is really serious."

At the premiere, on the red carpet outside the CPPCC auditorium, the media were surprised to find that Yimou, Li Yifei, and others, who were still in the United States two days ago, actually showed up at the Xi'an Film Studio's premiere in Beijing at the same time.

Even several actresses under Rongchen Pictures, including Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Deng Jiajia, Zhang Hanyun and others, appeared at the premiere.

It’s just that everyone’s style is rather formal, nothing special about it.

"Am I seeing things right? Weren't Director Zhang, Director Li, and Yifei still in the United States the day before yesterday?"

"You read it right, stop wasting time! Go ahead!"

All media outlets seemed to have just woken up from their dream.

"Director Li, Director Zhang, Yifei, when did you return to China? Why didn't you give us any news?"

"Director Li, Director Zhang, are you rushing back to China just for the premiere?"

Li Chen glanced at the smiling Zhang Yimou and said, "Director Zhang is originally from Shaanxi, and Xiying is his mother's home."

"Besides, our return to China is nothing compared to Mr. Qian's return to China. You guys should stop surrounding us. Today I hope you media friends can focus on this movie."

"Don't ask me about other things. If you ask me, I won't answer you today."

Li Chen shut up many media outlets with just one sentence.

Entered the CPPCC auditorium.

All the stars were extremely surprised.

"Director Li, Director Zhang," Zhang Yuqi murmured.

Chen Kun smiled and said, "What Director Li, Director Zhang?"

When he turned around, he saw Li Chen, Liu Yifei and Zhang Yimou in the distance, and was stunned for a moment.

The leaders of Xiying and Tong Gang, Han Saping and others had already seen Li Chen and his two companions.

"I didn't expect this kid to come back."

"Haha, three pings. Li Chen is good. He knows the priorities."

As the three were talking, Li Chen, Liu Yifei, and Zhang Yimou came over. Yang Mi and the others had arrived early, and when she saw Li Chen, she wanted to go forward, but she stopped when she saw Li Chen and the other two walking towards the boss.

"When did you come back?" Although Han Sanping was happy in his heart, he still spoke in the airs of a leader.

"I arrived in the morning, Mr. Han." Liu Yifei answered for Li Chen with a smile.

Han Sanping nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Yifei."

When Han Sanping praised Liu Yifei, he was actually praising Li Chen, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

Wang Yong, the CEO of Xiying Film Studio, took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Yimou and Li Chen and said with a smile: "Director Zhang, Director Li, welcome. I thought you guys couldn't make it back."

"Welcome, Yifei."

"That's impossible, Mr. Wang. There's no excuse to miss Mr. Qian's movies." Li Chen spoke in a majestic manner.

Tong Gang from the Film Bureau praised: "Li Chen spoke well."

"After the premiere, you and Yifei must help promote Xiying."

"No problem, Director Tong!" Liu Yifei agreed readily.

Tong Gang, Wang Yong and Han Saping burst into laughter.

"I can see that Yifei can control Li Chen."

Li Chen shook his head and smiled.

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Why, is what Director Tong said wrong?"

Li Chen was speechless
After the premiere, everyone at Rongchen Pictures, including Li Chen, recommended the film on their own media.

Li Chen’s Weibo post only had one sentence: Some movies cannot be missed just for the name. I pay tribute to the unparalleled scientist like Mr. Qian.

We also pay tribute to the unknown and selfless scientific researchers.

Liu Yifei’s Weibo post reads: Don’t forget history, pay tribute to Mr. Qian, and hope everyone will forward it so that more people can go to the cinema and get to know Mr. Qian.

Fans and netizens responded enthusiastically to the two people’s Weibo posts.

"For Mr. Qian, I bought a package, for Leo, I bought it twice, for Tianxian, I bought it three times!"

"Support! Must support!"

“Repost and support!”

"The celestial being has given an order, and no one dares to disobey."

The influence of the artists under Rongchen Pictures is terrifying.

Wang Yong of Xiying found it unbelievable when he heard the pre-sale box office data reported by his subordinates.

The first day pre-sale box office was only 50, but in just one day, it skyrocketed 50 times and is still on the rise.

“Is this the power of fans?”

"Mr. Wang, apart from Rongchen Pictures, no other company in the film and television industry can have such influence."

"Director Li, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Zhang Hanyun have nearly 5000 million fans combined."

“Not to mention the influence of their friends in the circle.”

"Wanda and Dadi have already started to increase the screening rate of "Qian Xuesen"!"

Wang Yong calmed down and called Li Chen directly.

"I don't know what to say, Director Li."

"You don't need to say thank you, Mr. Wang. If you need investment for mainstream films in the future, you can come to me."

"This, this. What should I do?"

Not to mention the skyrocketing pre-sale box office of "Qian Xuesen".

The incident of the Stab Cult had just come to an end, but the dispute over Zhao Zhen was brought to the table again.

Perhaps Zhen Zidan, the instigator, never expected that this matter would eventually be related to Rongchen Pictures.

It also proves that he is a drama tyrant.

Zhao Wenzhuo held a press conference in Beijing, bringing his wife and lawyer with him, accusing Hong Kong media and the "Special Identity" crew of spreading rumors.

He claimed that he did not have seven assistants and did not leave the set without permission. He also said that the decision to be uncooperative was made unilaterally by the crew without any negotiation between the two parties.

As soon as the statement was released, the Internet exploded.

"Big stars supporting small stars brings many contradictions!"

"In "Warring States", Sun Honglei, Wu Zhenyu and Guo Degang were invited to act as supporting roles for Jing Tian, ​​and in "Special Identity", two Kung Fu superstars Zhen Zidan and Zhao Wenzhuo were invited to act with Jing Tian."

"Who on earth is Jing Tian? His background is as strong as granite!"

The two sides exchanged views, and Zhao Wenzhuo held another media clarification meeting two days later.

The crew of "Special Identity" in the Hong Kong circle was equally tough and held a media clarification meeting in response, which lasted for half an hour and attacked Zhao Wenzhuo fiercely.

The daily accommodation fee is 50,000 yuan, which also includes his wife, nanny, children, etc.

But at this point the two protagonists have not yet faced each other head-on.

Zhen Zidan still has the image of a peacemaker, taking the initiative to mediate and contact Zhao Wenzhuo's agent and so on.

It was not until a few days later that Zhao Wenzhuo directly attacked Zhen Zidan, pointing out that it was Zhen Zidan, not him, who was acting like a big shot.

There has been no response from Zhen Zidan yet.

A piece of information from outside the circle shook the entertainment industry to its core.

Sina Technology Report
“3月12日下午消息，优库股份有限公司和土豆股份有限公司今天共同宣布双方于3月11日签订最终协议，优库和土豆将以100%换股的方式合并。”

"Under the terms of the agreement, as of the effective date of the merger, all issued and outstanding Class A common shares and Class B common shares of Tudou will be delisted and each share will be exchanged for 7.177 shares of Youku Class A common stock."

"After the merger, Youku shareholders and American Depositary Receipt holders will own approximately 71.5% of the new company, and Tudou shareholders and American Depositary Receipt holders will own approximately 28.5% of the new company."

“The new company after the merger will be named Youku Potato Co., Ltd.”

The entertainment industry and the Internet were in an uproar.

"What the hell is going on? Aren't Youku and Tudou mortal enemies? How come everything changed overnight?" Wang Zhonglei was furious. He felt like he was in deep sorrow when he received the news so early in the morning.

"Yeah, Mr. Wang, I don't know either. Didn't Wang Wei say in person that even if he wanted to sell the potatoes, he would not sell them to Youku!" Xu Li was also dizzy.

I think even passers-by know what this news means to Rongchen Pictures and Huayi.

Many friends in the circle called Liu Yifei early in the morning.

"Congratulations, Miss Xixi, your thighs are so thick that I can hardly hold them! No, I should say that my brother's waist needs several people to hug it!" Shu Chang groaned.

"You're so bored so early in the morning that you called me to talk about this." Liu Yifei said in a bad tone.

"Eh? You're so angry? Why? My brother gave you the cold shoulder. That's right, men become tougher when they have money!"

"Go to hell, what nonsense! Your brother's phone is turned off, so I had to answer calls all morning." Liu Yifei cursed with a smile.

Shu Chang laughed loudly: "This is my brother's style. Now the vixens in the circle will rack their brains to pass a knife to you, the queen. You better be careful."

"You are not holding Tang Monk's flesh in your mouth now, you are marrying Tang Monk himself."
