Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 650 Dog King
The next morning, Tim found that the boss looked exhausted and there were marks on his neck, which were obviously left by the boss's wife last night.

Liu Yifei and Wen Ziren sent Li Chen to the car.

"Send me a WeChat message when you arrive in Beijing." Liu Yifei was extremely gentle again at this moment, completely lacking the fierce and angry nature she had last night.

"Got it." Li Chen was not used to this kind of farewell scene. He said it sullenly and got into the car.

Liu Yifei reluctantly watched Li Chen get into the car, and Liu Xiaoli beside her felt a little jealous.

"Well, everyone has left. It's true that once a daughter is married off, she can be dumped like water. That's absolutely true."

"Ah? No way, Mom." Liu Yifei was a little dazed. Before long, the person she depended on the most had changed from her mother to her husband.

When they arrived at the airport, Li Chen gave Tim a few more instructions and Leonardo's "The Revenant" could be announced.

Li Chen has not yet landed in Beijing.

Tim continued to release the trailer for "The Hunger Games 2".

The scene of Liu Yifei eating raw fish made countless fans of the beauty sigh: The beauty is really working hard.

The competition among the five major dramas during the National Day holiday made many netizens exclaim, there is no Rong Chen during the National Day holiday, Huayi is the king.

Huayi's "Tai Chi 1" topped the list. The total box office in mainland China exceeded million in the first four days of the first week plus one day of National Day, a total of five days.

Even so, it is still far ahead of the other four.

Fan Qiaoqiao's "Double Exposure" ranked third, just after Xu Qing's Hollywood blockbuster "Looper".

Zhang Ziyi's "Dangerous Liaisons" came in last place.

It can be said that there is no winner in this National Day head-to-head confrontation between Fan Qiaoqiao and Zhang Ziyi.

The box office revenue of both films was less than the investment.

If there is, Fan Qiaoqiao should be slightly better.

Business Daily report
"Dangerous Liaisons, directed by South Korean director Xu Qinhao and starring Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Dongjian and Zhang Baizhi, was released nationwide in mainland China on the 27th."

"Yesterday, Zhang Ziyi accepted an exclusive interview with our reporter and responded to her relationship with Sa Beining for the first time: "When I graduated from the Central Academy of Drama in my twenties, I just wanted to find a good man to marry, get married and have children. It's still the same now. I haven't changed."

Shanghai Youth Daily reported

"Feng Xiaogang's 11 is expected to meet the audience in November this year. Today, this year's most anticipated film will enter the studio for mixing, which means that the film has entered the final stage of production."

"Feng Xiaogang said on Weibo yesterday that he is no longer as ready as he thought at the beginning: "My wife is a good wife, but she is a little bland."

"During the National Day holiday, he also expressed tactfully, "Painting and playing ball have replaced the pleasure of making movies. The most comfortable thing is to play with yourself without asking for help from others. I am really annoyed by the need to beg for help when making a movie."

Yang Siwei came to pick up the phone, and the crew of "Kowloon Walled City" had already begun to promote the drama vigorously in several major box office areas across the country.

Compared with Feng Xiaogang's reverse marketing, such nonsense as "I'm really a bit fed up" is just to arouse the audience's expectations for "1942".

Previously, "White Deer Plain" was cut to 66 minutes. Xiao Gangpao's vague remarks are just a way of trying to attract attention.

Just like the island purchase incident, the little steel cannon knows how to market a likable persona, and what he says are what ordinary people like to hear the most, but what the official will not say.

Li Chen disdained this.

However, when facing "Journey to the West" and Huayi, Li Chen did not hesitate to use all the necessary means.

If the situation were reversed, the big and small kings would certainly not show mercy to his men.

"How is the investigation going?"

Li Chen asked casually, but Yang Siwei's eyes flashed: "Boss, you are amazing!"

"What do you mean?" Li Chen pretended to be confused, thinking to himself that it seemed that Yang Siwei had found out.

Starting last year, Li Chen asked Yang Siwei to focus on several leading actors in Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

Except for Huang Bo, who does not need too much attention, the others are neither enemies nor friends.

Li Chen still thought that Yang Siwei had only found out about Wen Zhang.

Unexpectedly, Yang Siwei gave him a big surprise.

"Let me show you some exciting photos."

Li Chen glanced at Yang Siwei's phone and was immediately surprised: "This is Luo Zhixiang? Who is this woman?"

"Her name is Kawashima Suejuyo, and she's his ex-girlfriend."

"Japanese?"

"Well, you don't know, boss. This guy is a playboy. He can't let go of his old love and can't let go of his new love. You will never guess who his current girlfriend is."

The name of a female internet celebrity suddenly popped up in Li Chen's mind, but he had forgotten about this one.

If it is true as Yang Siwei found out, with the island purchase incident now happening, Li Chen knows how strong the anti-Japanese atmosphere is without Yang Siwei having to explain it.

"I don't care who his girlfriend is, or if he still has one?"

"Hey, Boss, there is another shocking piece of news. You will never guess it. The protagonist is the Tang Monk who was banned for posting nude photos."

"The Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons is finished!"

"If Zhou Xingchi knew that 'Tang Monk', who has always been a good man and a loving couple, had cheated on his wife, he would probably turn completely gray."

"Wang Zhonglei is also going to vomit three liters of blood."

Yang Siwei is quite proud of his ability to get things done.

The boss just gave her a direction, and she did it to the utmost.

If there were just a little bit of information leaked, the acting careers of these two would definitely be ruined.

After listening to Yang Siwei's work report, Li Chen showed little interest, which gave Yang Siwei a feeling of being unfathomable.

"Boss, why don't you seem surprised at all? Do you know?"

Li Chen was a little surprised when he saw Luo Zhixiang's photo just now.

But when he saw Wen Zhang and the actress who played the mistress in his boss's debut film "Lost on Journey", he had no reaction at all.

Yang Siwei was really puzzled.

"What's so surprising about this? It's nothing more than a fake drama in 'Naked Wedding' turned into a real one. Isn't this rare in the industry?"

"You're also from the entertainment industry!" Li Chen's words left Yang Siwei speechless.

If you think about it carefully, this seems to be the case.

Yang Siwei sent Li Chen back to the villa. Before getting out of the car, Li Chen said one more sentence: "Remember, when we do things, we should be fair to both the matter and the person!"

Yang Siwei grinned: "I understand, boss. I have no psychological burden to deal with scumbags."

The next day, as soon as Li Chen came back, he asked Han Sanping to come to the China Film Building.

After coming to China Film Group, Li Chen has become familiar with the place.

When we arrived at Han Saping's office, Han Saping looked gloomy.

"What's wrong, Mr. Han? What happened?" Li Chen took the initiative to express his concern for Mr. Han.

"Take a look at this first." Han Sanping handed Li Chen a list.

Li Chen took a quick look and found out that it was the domestic box office statistics for this year so far.

"130 billion?" Li Chen frowned slightly, and roughly guessed why Han Saping came to him.

But he was powerless.

"Did you figure it out?" Han Saping knew that Li Chen was a smart man and could understand many things at a glance.

“Isn’t this number a bit far from this year’s target?”

"Humph! It's not just a little far, it's simply out of reach!" "I won't hide it from you. This year's annual target is 180 billion. There are less than three months left. Do you think it's possible to reach 50 billion?"

Han Sanping is asking this question knowing the answer. 50 billion? 30 billion would be a stretch.

Li Chen didn't say anything. Han Sanping laughed unhappily and said, "It's your fault, kid. If it weren't for the fact that "Chinese Police" was so dazzling during last year's National Day, these five films wouldn't be as prominent as they are now during this year's National Day."

"The missing 50 billion is because your company's productivity has dropped sharply this year."

What Han Sanping said is true. Last year, not to mention "Chinese Police", even "Painted Skin" and "White Snake" easily earned over 100 million yuan.

However, looking at the five movies released during this year's National Day holiday, none of them has grossed over 100 million yuan so far.

Maybe after the National Day Golden Week, "Tai Chi 1" may be released, but it is just a possibility.

Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Baizhi were blindly confident and ended up rushing to their grandmother's house.

However, the film producers insisted that heroes cannot be judged by a single region.

"Dangerous Liaisons" is a film about global strategy.

In fact, any discerning person can see that both Zhang Baizhi and Zhang Ziyi have been surrounded by negative news in the past two years, and their reputation has fallen to the bottom.

One was getting married for the second time, and the other broke up with her wealthy boyfriend twice, but she still insisted on saying things like she wanted to find a good man to marry after graduating from the Central Academy of Drama.

Treat the audience as fools.

Everyone knows that she doesn't want to marry a 'good' man, but she dreams of marrying a rich man.

"Mr. Han, what exactly do you mean by asking me to tell you all this?" Li Chen knew what was going on, but he didn't want to make it clear.

It was clearly you, Old Han, who was begging me, but you wanted me to speak.

Han Sanping snorted angrily: "How can you not understand what I mean?"

"Boss Han, you don't want me to come to the rescue, do you? I want to, but I can't!"

Han Sanping laughed and said, "Who said that? I asked Wu Bing about Maleficent, and he said that if we hurry up, it can still be released in December, it's just a little rushed."

"With Lu Yang's "The Walled City" and Xue Xiaolu's "BJ Meets Seattle", it won't be a problem to get at least 15 billion."

Li Chen almost vomited blood. Old Han knew all about the dramas produced by his company.

The only thing left is "Ip Man Finale".

"No, Mr. Han, this is too rushed. I plan to put Maleficent off until next summer."

"You should know that this is the first animated film produced by Zhizhen Art. You know its significance without me having to explain it to you."

Han Sanping was not surprised that Li Chen refused so bluntly.

Now, I can no longer easily control this kid.

However, he had gotten full marks every year, but this year he suddenly failed, which made Han Saping feel a little embarrassed.

Li Chen knew exactly what he was thinking.

"Boss Han, I don't need to tell you that the moon waxes and wanes. You should also think about the people who will come after you."

Li Chen's words surprised Han Saping.

At noon, the two had a simple meal in the China Film canteen.

Han Saping no longer mentioned asking Li Chen to save the situation. Speaking of Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Old Han seemed to become full of energy again.

"Even though Zhou Xingchi can't make a fart, he gave me a low point the other day. He estimated that the film Journey to the West would make 1 billion."

"If Journey to the West can be moved to December, maybe we can still make a push this year."

"Boss Han, you can discuss this with those two brothers and Zhou Xingchi. I believe that the three of them will not dare to deny you face."

Han Sanping glared at Li Chen and said, "Are you playing dumb or have you forgotten that Tai Chi 2 and 1942 are the successors of the previous and the next. The two brothers are ambitious and want to dominate the Lunar New Year box office this year."

"Whether your film "Kowloon Walled City" will be successful or not is still unknown, but I don't think it can stand out from the pressure of "1942" and "Journey to the West"."

"After all, Lu Yang is too young compared to Feng Xiaogang and Zhou Xingchi."

"If you were to direct it, this Lunar New Year movie season would be quite interesting."

Li Chen did not refute, but nodded and said: "Boss Han is right."

When I came out of China Film Academy, I happened to meet the high-spirited Wang Zhonglei.

"Director Li, when did you come back? I thought you were still in Hawaii." Wang Zhonglei walked towards him with a smile on his face.

"I just came back yesterday. President Wang is also here to see President Han?"

"Yes, Mr. Han is also the producer of Journey to the West. Director Li must be present at the premiere."

"I will definitely come when I have time. Mr. Wang has been very successful recently. Tai Chi 1 won the championship in the National Day box office. Congratulations."

Li Chen's words made Wang Zhonglei look constipated.

Everyone knows how weak this year's National Day champion is.

"Everyone says Leo has a sharp tongue, it's absolutely true. He can even curse people as if they were praising them!" Wang Zhonglei cursed Li Chen in his heart, but he couldn't see it on his face.

"Director Li, please stop joking. I am now hoping that Tai Chi will be like Tai Chi. I will be satisfied if it can strike back after the opponent strikes back."

"Okay, I hope Mr. Wang's wish comes true. Mr. Han just returned to the office, you can go."

Wang Zhonglei looked at Li Chen's leaving back with a smile, but his eyes became increasingly cold.

Liu Yifei was filming "The Hunger Games" in Hawaii, and Li Chen was running between his home and Zhizhen Painting Art every day.

The mother-in-law accompanied Miss Liu, and the son was handed over to Li Chen's parents.

"Longling Mystery Cave" is also being prepared for its launch in full swing.

"Chinese Police 2" will have to wait until after the New Year to start filming.

Cheng Long's "Chinese Zodiac" has also been targeted for the Lunar New Year holiday.

On the one hand, the news that Maleficent had begun to finalize the voice actors was gaining momentum in the industry.

On the other hand, several New Year blockbusters have begun to promote themselves.

Weibo, video websites, and major art schools are all bridgeheads.

Just as several blockbuster films were showing off their talents, at the end of October, Zhuo Wei, known as the number one paparazzi, received a set of photos.

His eyes immediately widened, his hands trembled, and he could hardly believe it!

After repeatedly confirming that the photos were not fake.

Zhuo Wei forced himself to calm down.

I wonder who sent these photos and what their intention was?
Was it Ma Yili? Or did Wen Zhang offend someone?

But Zhuo Wei never thought of going to Yang Siwei.

Zhuo Wei's trusted subordinates were also shocked.

"Boss, this is a big news, we're going to publish it this time!"

"This man frequently shows off his affection in front of the public and the media, and tries his best to create an image of doting on his wife."

“Even my daughter’s name is Wen Aima!”

While Zhuo Wei was still thinking about what to do, his subordinates were already eager to try.

Wen Zhang always felt something was wrong for the past six months, as if he was being followed, but this feeling has disappeared in the past few months.

He thought he had done something wrong and became suspicious.
