Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 620 A generous move

Li Chen and Liu Yifei have not yet arrived at the National Convention Center.

Tim called from across the ocean.

"Boss, I heard some news."

"Say!"

“Wanda is acquiring AMC and is close to signing a contract.”

Li Chen was shocked, but Boss Wang still took action.

"I see."

Tim Smith was surprised to hear his boss's calm tone and asked, "You know this, boss?"

"That's it."

Tim was even more surprised: "Boss, you are too..."

Tim didn't know how to describe it. His boss acted as if nothing had happened to this big move and kept it a secret from everyone.

"Boss, isn't this what the Chinese often call cunning?"

Li Chen was also amused by Tim: "What a cunning fellow! This is a good thing. I should call Director Wang to congratulate him."

This sentence completely confused Tim.

Li Chen hung up the phone, and Liu Yifei asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Li Chen touched Miss Liu's face frivolously and smiled: "It's too early to release The Hunger Games, but it doesn't matter. The second part will definitely have a higher box office than the first one."

"Honey, we now have our own cinema chain in America."

Liu Yifei slapped her husband's claws away and said in a tender voice, "What do you mean? Tell me now!"

Li Chen laughed: "Wait for me to call you and you will know."

After that, Li Chen took out his cell phone, and Liu Yifei saw her husband dial the number of "Wanda King".

The call was answered quickly.

Li Chen was on speakerphone, and he just smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Wang."

Big Boss Wang was moved and pretended to be confused, "What are you congratulating us for? Wanda has no part in The Hunger Games!"

Li Chen laughed: "That's not very polite, Mr. Wang."

"Half of the 500 million box office revenue went into the cinema chain's pockets. Wanda is the largest cinema chain in China, so how can you say that Wanda has no share?"

Big Boss Wang knew that he would not gain any advantage by arguing with Li Chen, so he could only hum and say, "Is that why you called me?"

Li Chen smiled and said, "Of course not. I want to congratulate Wanda on becoming the world's number one cinema chain!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Yifei was stunned and looked at Li Chen with a face full of question marks.

Li Chen shook his head and smiled, pointing at the phone, motioning her to continue listening.

The boss Wang's surprised voice came from the phone: "How did you know? I ordered this to be kept strictly confidential. Apart from Ye Ning, even Liu Ge (Vice President of Wanda Cinemas) didn't know about it."

When Big Boss Wang said this, he admitted it.

Li Chen smiled and said, "There is no impenetrable wall in this world. If I want to know, I will know it naturally."

"Not only do I know that you plan to acquire AMC, I also know that you have submitted an application to the relevant authorities for a license to issue imported films."

“Perhaps it won’t be long before Wanda becomes the third company after China Film and Huaxia to hold a license to distribute imported films, and the first private company to do so!”

These words completely changed the boss Wang's expression.

Even Liu Yifei, who was next to Li Chen, looked at her husband in surprise.

She realized that she had never seen through the man beside her.

Every time she felt that she knew him well, this feeling would soon become confusing.

Liu Yifei was very confused. She had never heard her husband talk about Wanda's acquisition of AMC, but it was obvious that her husband had known about it for a long time.

But Tim just found out about it. How did he know it?

The big boss Wang was silent for a moment before he uttered: "You are not simple!"

Just four words. The fewer words, the more it explains the problem.

Li Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Wang."

"I won't talk about 'The Island of Vientiane'. Wanda also has a stake in it. When Yifei's 'Hunger Games' sequel is released, at least AMC's 345 theaters should be included, right?"

Liu Yifei chuckled and quickly covered her mouth. Big Boss Wang roared, "You are killing them all! Why don't you just say 346 and leave one for me!"

Li Chen laughed and said, "Always leave a way out for yourself!"

Liu Yifei, who was standing by, also heard it. AMC has a total of 346 cinemas worldwide, mainly concentrated in large cities in North America.

The first thing Li Chen said was 345. No wonder Director Wang’s voice suddenly became louder.

After hanging up the phone with Li Chen, Boss Wang felt a little headache again.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, what a pity, what a pity."

It’s a pity that Big Boss Wang said it twice in a row, which made Young Master Wang very confused.

But he knew that if his father didn't want to talk, torture would be useless.

It’s a pity for Boss Wang. I’m afraid only Ye Ning knows what it means.

Since the day the group acquired AMC Theaters, it has actually planned to walk on two legs.

But there are only a few directors like him, and they are all taken.

After a lot of effort, Zhang Yimou finally joined Rongchen Pictures quietly.

The big boss Wang couldn't help but sigh.

Fan Qiaoqiao dressed up carefully today. Although her makeup and facial features were exquisite, she met Liu Yifei, who was in the best time of her life.

The male companions of the two are all big directors.

Next to Fan Qiaoqiao was Feng Xiaogang, and next to Liu Yifei was naturally Li Chen.

I am not afraid of comparing goods, I am afraid of people comparing people.

Just now, Fan Qiaoqiao and Feng Xiaogang appeared on the red carpet together, immediately attracting many photographers' cameras and the attention of the media.

The media reporters were looking around, wondering in their hearts, could it be that Fan Qiaoqiao and Hua Yi had reconciled?

Even though the two of them are together, they always give people a feeling that there is a clear distinction between Chu and Han.

The little steely man was wearing a black suit, but the spots on his face were still clearly visible.

Although she and Fan Qiaoqiao walked the red carpet together, there was still a clear safe distance between them.

It was not until Li Chen and Liu Yifei, the talented couple, walked onto the red carpet that many media outlets realized that something was wrong.

"I just said that I felt something was wrong just now, and as soon as I saw Yifei, I understood everything!" The Sina reporter looked suddenly enlightened.

"Yes, Director Li and Yifei are close friends, and are willing to play supporting roles. Fan Qiaoqiao and Feng Xiaogang are seemingly in harmony but actually distant. There is no comparison and no harm!"

"Today's Qiaoqiao is beautiful, but under her heavy makeup, she looks too worldly. I didn't feel it very strongly just now, but now that I've seen Yifei, I can feel it immediately."

"Yes, although both of them are fair-skinned and beautiful, Yifei's pure and elegant temperament is too obvious."

"Stop talking nonsense and take the photo!"

Li Chen and Liu Yifei waved their hands to greet fans and media.

On both sides were excited fans who came here to see Liu Yifei, each holding Liu Yifei's fan cards, highlighters and posters.

She shouted at the top of her lungs: "Xixi!"

"Xixi! Xixi!"

The noise made Li Chen have to shout to talk to Miss Liu beside him.

"Your fans are so outrageous. Some even call me wife! They seem to be afraid that I can't hear them. Are they anti-fans?"

"Why do my fans only call me Leo and no one even calls me husband?"

Liu Yifei waved and greeted her fans, and was amused by her husband's jealousy.

Only after getting rid of the media did Liu Yifei settle the score and ask, "Why, do you really want someone to call you husband, husband?"

Miss Liu's last call of "husband" in a greasy voice directly numbed Li Chen.

Li Chen shuddered, and Miss Liu immediately laughed so hard that she fell back.

After entering the conference center, Miss Liu immediately turned back into the peerless and beautiful goddess she was.

At this moment, the lights in the National Convention Center seemed to be turned on.

Fan Qiaoqiao only took a glance, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately.
