Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 622 The jackal is coming and he has a shotgun

At the National Convention Center, Chen Kaige walked off the stage in high spirits.

In fact, I was already panicking inside.

"Search" is Chen Kaige's return to realistic themes.

"The Promise" and "Mei Lanfang" both failed.

Chen Kaige has actually fallen out of the top echelon of domestic directors.

Both in terms of box office and awards, they are far behind Yimou and Yili.

However, box office has never been Chen Kaige's strong point.

Chen Kaige naturally hopes that this unconventional realistic film "Search" can help him turn things around and establish his reputation as the Palme d'Or director.

At the same time, he has at least made it into the 300 million director club.

It's Cameron's turn to play, and Cameron still dares to speak.

Not only did he tactfully complain about the domestic film system, he also suggested that the country further open up the quota for imported films.

A shocking news was also revealed.

Cameron's company will work with Shanying to serve as the 3D technical director for "The Art of War".

As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.

As soon as they heard that it was the technical director, the enthusiasm of the stars immediately dropped by more than half.

Li Chen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth while listening to this in the audience.

Liu Yifei glanced at him and asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, I just think that even if Cameron doesn't become a director, he won't starve to death with this mouth."

When Liu Yifei heard this, she paused for a moment and couldn't help but laughed.

Li Chen also glanced at her curiously: "What are you laughing at?"

Liu Yifei looked at the stage, the lines of her cheek were soft and three-dimensional: "I think you and he are the same kind of people, you are so sweet-tongued that you can deceive people to death without paying for it."

Li Chen was speechless. He could not be compared with Cameron. As far as he could remember, this "The Art of War" had not been released until 2022, when "Avatar: The Way of Water" was released ten years later.

It was Li Chen's turn to go on stage.

Liu Yifei was also very curious about what her husband would say.

Not only Liu Yifei was curious, but many filmmakers present were also curious.

Everyone knows that Director Li never stops making statements until they shock people.

Li Chen accepted the Bole Award presented by Deputy Director Tian of the General Administration.

The acceptance speech was also very enjoyable.

"I am a little nervous about receiving this award. Rather than saying I am a Bole, I would rather say I am a thousand-mile horse."

In one sentence, the National Convention Center burst into applause and laughter.

Han Sanping also laughed and clapped along with the crowd, "Yifei, I never guessed Li Chen's acceptance speech correctly!"

"I'm just like you, Mr. Han. I've never guessed it right either." Liu Yifei clapped her hands, her eyes never leaving the husband on the stage who was so unforgettable at first sight.

In fact, Li Chen's appearance can be said to stand out among all the directors.

As long as you don't compare yourself with handsome guys like Huang Xiaoming, it's okay to pretend to be a young and handsome guy.

Thinking of this, Liu Yifei couldn't help but smile.

Li Chen waited on the stage until the applause gradually died down and then laughed: "I am not kidding. Without the wonderful performances of all the seniors, teachers, and actors, there would naturally be no me today."

"You are the ones who made me successful, or we can say that we made each other successful. This Bole Award belongs to me and also to you. Thank you."

Applause broke out again.

The light and shadow in Fan Qiaoqiao's eyes seemed to reflect only the person on the stage.

Everyone says that Brother Chen is arrogant, but in this kind of situation, he is not arrogant at all.

This is a truly smart person, who is neither humble nor arrogant when meeting someone inferior to him.

"Kowloon" was scheduled to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday, which made Fan Qiaoqiao, Li Yu and the producers of "Double Exposure" feel that the Lunar New Year holiday was too complicated and they decided not to venture into it. The National Day holiday became their only choice.

Fan Qiaoqiao was walking with Feng Xiaogang just now, and actually wanted to test Feng Xiaogang's attitude.

Feng Xiaogang knew it well enough and replied to her with a sullen face: "'1942' is still in the post-production stage, and the release date will depend on the progress of the post-production stage." Fan Qiaoqiao felt annoyed and did not ask any more questions.

In fact, there are many people who have the same idea as Fan Qiaoqiao.

For example, Zhang Ziyi who just came on stage to present the award.

Her "Dangerous Liaisons" is also targeting the National Day holiday.

The Lunar New Year period is a battleground for the big bosses.

She, Zhang Ziyi, is not that important yet, unless it is her mentor Zhang Yimou.

Li Chen on the stage continued.

"Director Cameron just mentioned the issue of increasing the quota for imported films. Previously, many of our filmmakers and media have likened the increase of 14 imported films this year to the cry of wolf."

The live camera was given to several big directors. Chen Kaige smiled and was guessing in his heart what Li Chen was going to say. He hoped he would not steal his limelight again!
He is almost becoming the "Leather Pants Wang" in the circle. Whenever he makes the headlines, Li Chen will rush to take over.

Feng Xiaogang had a blank expression on his face, but Zhang Yimou was still smiling and watching the stage with great interest.

"I agree with Director Kai Ge. Let me add one more thing to this, borrowing a line from the song My Motherland."

"When friends come, we have wine; when jackals come, we have shotguns!" Li Chen uttered a groundbreaking statement in a sonorous and powerful voice.

The scene suddenly became lively, with thunderous applause and a great atmosphere.

Even Deputy Director Tian from the General Administration and Tong Gang from the Film Bureau applauded.

Everyone was whispering to each other, smiling.

This time, Han Sanping applauded sincerely and willingly.

Liu Yifei's face turned red with excitement. She was still saying "wishful thinking" just a moment ago, but at this moment, she was even more excited than Chen Hong.

There is no room for anything else in my eyes and heart except the man on the stage.

Xing Ai was also clapping, but while clapping, she also did not forget to mock her partner: "Look at your achievements, look at Director Li!"

Ning Hao's face was full of flesh: "Can I compete with him?"

He now really regrets saying those words "survive in the cracks".

My intestines turned green with regret.

After today, there will be a comparison between the two Palme d'Or winners, Chen Kaige and Li Chen.

I'm afraid he will be tortured by the media again tomorrow.

Cameron listened to what the translator translated.

I admire Li Chen's wisdom and humor more and more.

But I was thinking in my heart, maybe this young man will really be the Chinese him in the future.

He was praising Chinese films and Chinese filmmakers today.

In fact, it’s not because of market share.

His "Titanic" earned 98 million yuan at the box office in China in 3.6. Considering the market at the time, this record has not been broken to this day.

Even "Chinese Police" doesn't work.

"Avatar" is even worse.

"The jackals are coming and we have shotguns" topped the list of hot searches on Weibo.

The enthusiasm of netizens and Li Chen's fans was immediately ignited.

"Little Leo is mighty!"

"A real man! No doubt about it, a man should face challenges head-on!"

"Little Leo is indeed Little Leo. I'm afraid he is only a warm-hearted man in front of fairies!"

"Love it, love it. Just based on this sentence, I have become a fan!"

"With his buzz cut, sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, Leo's image immediately became three-dimensional."

That night, Li Chen’s Weibo followers surged by 30.

The number of followers that increased overnight exceeded the total number since Chen Kaige opened his Weibo account.
