Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 662: Okay, Let’s Listen to Director Han
At yesterday's Weibo Night, Rongchen Pictures could be said to be the leader.

Lao Mouzi, Deng Ziqi, Liu Yifei and Deng Chao all won several important awards.

Although the awards of Weibo Night are of almost zero value to filmmakers.

But it is a reflection of personal influence.

Liu Yifei was having breakfast while talking to Li Chen about the interesting things that happened last night.

As soon as I got back yesterday, my husband blocked my mouth before I could say anything. In the end, we were both so tired that we couldn’t say a word.

"I met Li Qiaoqiao yesterday, and she asked me if I would go to the Oscars this year?"

Li Chen laughed and said nothing.

Last year, the couple and Zhang Yimou's team appeared at the Oscars, which helped set a record for Oscar ratings.

This year, the same trick was used again and the invitation letter for the award presenter was sent to Rongchen Pictures.

However, both Li Chen and Zhang Yimou declined.

Miss Liu's guest invitation letter was also thrown into the trash by Li Chen.

As a second choice, Zhang Ziyi, Shuang Bing, Zhou Xun, Tang Yan and other first-line Chinese actresses became the invitees for the Oscars.

I just don’t know who among these people will go.

I'm afraid Fan Qiaoqiao will not be absent.

In terms of their works, there may be some gap between Fan Qiaoqiao, Zhang Ziyi and Li Qiaoqiao.

But Fan Qiaoqiao has never become famous at home and abroad through his works.

"I met Pan Yueming yesterday. Back then, he and Dong Jie were Sina's Couple of the Year! But now..." Liu Yifei shook her head slightly. Dong Jie and Pan Yueming's love at the time was the envy of others.

Now that they are getting divorced, the quarrel between the two sides is as ugly as it can be, and it has even come to the point of litigation.

Internet users are now confused and don’t know who to believe.

However, Liu Yifei intuitively felt that Pan Yueming was not the kind of person Dong Jie described.

Her first drama was as a supporting role to Dong Jie.

Back then she was Bai Xiuzhu, and she ignored her.

now
Liu Yifei glanced at her husband and felt extremely soft in her heart.

She has always known that her husband has been rude to Chen Kun and Dong Jie over the years.

There is only one reason.

Liu Yifei was talking to herself, and saw that Li Chen still had no intention of talking to her.

She immediately turned her husband's face and said angrily, "Do you think that when you are in love, the other person is the most perfect person in the world, but when you are not in love, the other person is not even worth a damn?"

Li Chen was helpless, holding Miss Liu's hands and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you? Why are you thinking about participating in Weibo Night? I didn't see you being sentimental last night."

"I'm asking you! Tell me now!"

These male artists have been in trouble recently. When Wen Zhang and Pan Yueming were in love, they wanted to embed each other into their bodies.

When I don’t love you anymore, I want to kick you to the horizon.

The most important thing is that these two couples have always been model couples and examples of love in the circle.

Li Ming and Le Jier divorced, Zheng Zhongji and Asa also divorced. In the past year, there have been too many breakups and reunions.

"I won't tell you. I don't know you yet. You'll think whatever I say is sweet talk."

Liu Yifei's shoulders shook with laughter. She came close to Li Chen, her long eyelashes flickering: "It is true that no one knows a wife better than her husband! Forget it, I'll let you off."

After saying that, Liu Yifei continued to have her breakfast, while Li Chen stood up and sat next to her, turning her shoulders domineeringly.

"What?" Liu Yifei pouted and immediately gave herself away.

Women always say one thing and mean another. If Li Chen really remained silent at this time, Miss Liu would not say anything, but she definitely did not mean what she said.

Li Chen straightened his face and said, "Let's not talk about Pan Yueming and Dong Jie. The truth will be revealed one day. People are divided into groups, and you and Dong Jie have never been the same kind of people."

Liu Yifei was stunned by Li Chen's words. She seemed to have heard something vaguely from her husband's tone.

Over the years, almost none of the actors my husband has used have failed.

Pan Yueming was the first one.

But Pan Yueming's action of suing his wife's studio reminded many netizens of what Li Chen said when he defended Yin Xiaotian: People who beat others will not call the police.

By the same token, if the gambling addiction and domestic violence were both true, would Pan Yueming sue?

"As for Wen Zhang and Ma Yili, I think there is something wrong with Ma Yili himself."

"A movie called Struggle can help Wen Zhang work less for a few years. Everyone knows that it's hard to tame a puppy. Doesn't Ma Yili understand that? But she is willing to do so."

"Since you want me to say something, I'll say it."

"Chen Kaige found Chen Hong, and from then on he became a warm-hearted man. Could it be that Chen Hong didn't know about Chen Kaige's past, but she was willing to do it."

"I'm not Chen Kaige, I don't have that many exes, but when I met you, it was like a match made in heaven, one thing conquers another."

"Most importantly, I would."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Liu Yifei was so happy, how could she not understand.

What Li Chen meant was that he was Ma Yili and Chen Hong, and even if everyone was not optimistic about him, he was willing to do it.

"I don't know what you are talking about. This is not a sentence! I don't want to bother with you! I want to eat!"

Li Chen laughed: "Eat, but don't let yourself get too skinny. I like you to look skinny when you wear clothes and feel fleshy!"

"Go away!" Miss Liu's face turned red, like a beautiful rose quietly blooming.

After breakfast, the couple went to Zhizhen Painting Art.

Liu Yifei stayed for a while, looked at the special effects of "Vientiane Island", and then was called away by Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun's "Cloud Atlas" will be released at the end of the month. Except for Bae Doona, the South Korean whose leading role was snatched away by Zhou Xun, all the other main creators of "Cloud Atlas" are present.

The Chinese market has now undoubtedly become the world's second largest voting base.

Everyone is trying their best to get a piece of the pie.

The promotion of "Ip Man: The Final Chapter" is in full swing, but "The Grandmaster" is like meeting a real person and it suddenly appears.

After earning 1.8 million in the first week, the total for the seven days of the second week was less than 6000 million.

This drop shocked the industry.

It also made the producers collapse.

Even Yu Dong, one of the producers, suspected that Li Chen was behind it.

The one that suffered the most was the Yindu organization, which invested nearly 300 million yuan. According to this box office trend, it will suffer a loss of 100 to 200 million yuan.

The two films "The Grandmaster" and "Ip Man: The Final Chapter" were released one after the other, with a difference of one month.

"Ip Man: The Final Chapter" has not yet premiered, but "The Grandmaster" has already collapsed.

The media naturally compared "The Grandmaster", a film ten years in the making, with the "Ip Man" series.

The results show the advantages and disadvantages at a glance.

The fragmented plot and messy narrative, coupled with the beautiful pictures and lines, make it an art film in the shell of an action movie.

Netizens’ hot comments: The speaking is better than the acting, and the lines are better than the plot!

In the morning, Li Chen made a comparison with the poet, and in the afternoon the poet made the headlines.

Sina Entertainment News

"Today, a netizen broke the news on a forum that the movie Farewell My Concubine was not directed by Chen Kaige, but was the work of his father. The post quickly became a hot topic and was reposted by the forum's official Weibo account."

The poet became a hot topic and immediately jumped up and down.

Farewell My Concubine is his bottom line. He will fight anyone who dares to cross the line. If the poet cannot explain this issue clearly, he may fall to earth.

Compared to the troubles the poet encountered, Feng Xiaogang is still more carefree.

The phrase "diaosi just have a few hairs" on Weibo has allowed people to see the true nature of the little steel cannon.

Both Wang and Wang Xiao were troubled by Feng Xiaogang's outspokenness.

In the past two days, Xiao Gangpao said in a coquettish way, "My love for movies is fading, and I am beginning to feel disgusted with this kind of life. Maybe it's really time to say goodbye to it."

This immediately caused Huayi’s stock price, which was already in a bad situation, to hit the limit down again.

Huayi’s shareholders were wailing: When it rains, it pours, and Xiao Ganggang gave them another kick in the face.

After the incident, Wang Da and Wang Xiao urgently refuted the rumor, and Feng Xiaogang also patted his butt and posted a Weibo as if nothing had happened: I will take it easy when expressing my emotions in the future.

After leaving Zhizhen Painting Art, Li Chen went to the company again.

Before we knew it, Nirvana in Fire had become a hit novel with millions of hits on some websites.

It was also snapped up by various film and television companies, but was eventually acquired by Hou Hongliang.

Li Chen asked Yang Siwei, who also wanted to buy it, but Hou Hongliang made the first move, so she couldn't make another move.

Upon learning that Hou Hongliang had bought "Nirvana in Fire", first-line male stars such as Huang Xiaoming and Hu Ge privately expressed their willingness to cooperate with Hou Hongliang.

No one can say for sure whether "Nirvana in Fire" will become another phenomenal costume drama after "Dream of Red Mansions" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Years ago, Li Chen came to the company from time to time.

As the year draws to a close, major agencies are paying more attention to Rongchen Pictures' film slate.

What’s more, this year marks the tenth anniversary of Rongchen Pictures.

Paparazzi are snooping around and breaking news on Weibo every day.

Today, there is news that Chen Sicheng will write and direct a new comedy film, tomorrow there will be news that Lu Yang will create his first martial arts film, and the day after tomorrow there will be news that the CEO of Happy Twist will appear in Splendid Diamonds.

Someone also revealed that he had met Li Chen and Ning Hao by chance.

Amid the mystery, some people are just waiting for the premiere of "Ip Man" to ask the person involved face to face.

"The Grandmaster" was not doing well after that. On the last day of the month, as soon as "Cloud Atlas" was released, "The Grandmaster" was completely fixed at 2.6 million.

The premiere of "Ip Man: The Final Chapter" was held at the Great Hall of the People on February 2.

Compared to yesterday's premiere of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" which only had a few big fish and small shrimps, the premiere of "Ip Man: The Final Chapter" was magnificent and star-studded.

Starting at 11 o'clock in the morning, people started to walk on the red carpet.

Zhang Jin walked onto the red carpet with a bright smile, holding the pregnant Cai Shaofen's arm.

Han Sanping, Wang Changtian, Ye Ning, Liu Dehua, Xiang Huaqiang and his wife, and Wang Baoqiang and his wife walked the red carpet one by one.

Wang Baoqiang is in high spirits. "Kowloon Walled City" has been nominated for a Golden Horse Award, and he has a good chance of winning a Golden Horse Award trophy.

Li Chen and Liu Yifei also arrived early. In addition to well-known actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, Celine Dion, who had been rehearsing for the Spring Festival Gala in recent days, also made an unexpected appearance.

As soon as the queen appeared, there was an immediate commotion at the scene. The black-clad bodyguards around Celine Dion were so serious that they thought this was in Europe and the United States.

On the third floor of the Great Hall, all the stars were smiling happily.

"You didn't see Mr. Wang's expression at the premiere of Journey to the West yesterday! Rather than calling it the premiere of Journey to the West, it was more like Huayi's annual meeting."

"Boss Wang is also unlucky."

"Bad luck or is it Tai Sui?"

"Tai Sui?"

The people who were talking all looked at the man with a crew cut who was chatting and laughing with Ning Hao and Xu Zheng.

"I heard that Stephen Chow is planning to ask you to play Zhu Bajie?" Li Chen asked with a smile.

At the premiere of "Journey to the West" yesterday, Stephen Chow told the media that he wanted to ask Xu Zheng to play Zhu Bajie again.

Xu Zheng quickly waved his hand, pointed at Ning Hao and said with a smile: "No schedule, I have already promised him."

Xu Zheng came to see it, and he petitioned Li Chen several times.

It’s just that Li Chen has been perfunctory.

On the contrary, Chen Sicheng and Lu Yang, who were signed to Rongchen Pictures, have been receiving many film offers.

He, Ning Hao and Wuershan, who have not signed the contract, are just backups.

But the three of them were still branded with the Rongchen Pictures label.

It has been rumored in recent days that Lu Yang and Chen Sicheng, two up-and-coming stars, have already written the script, and Li Chen has also nodded.

In the past two years, his children have grown up gradually, and many investors have approached Xu Zheng.

However, the script they came up with was almost not as good as "Warring States".

"Lost in Hong Kong" has already ruined his reputation, so he has no choice but to be cautious.

Ning Hao found Li Chen with the first draft of "Lost in Thailand" at the end of last month.

"The Golden Heist" did not lose money, so Xiao Ma was of course very happy.

But with the lessons learned from "1942" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Ning Hao and his wife thought again and again and decided that they had to involve Li Chen.

The couple once had a conversation like this.

"It is reasonable for us to look for Director Li. Without Director Li, we wouldn't be where we are today."

"It's not about emotion or reason, it's a matter of life and death! Don't you think we have always underestimated him?"

"I thought he only knew how to make movies!"

"I just realized now that he is just like those giant monsters in mythological novels that have cultivated into human form. Normally, you can't see anything special about him, and he only reveals his true form when he eats people!"

Ning Hao saw Xu Zheng joking and laughed, "Tang Seng's cheating was an accident, but Zhu Bajie's cheating is common. If your wife finds out, she might kick you out of the house."

Xu Zheng chuckled and did not refute: "Director Li, is it true that Lu Yang and Chen Sicheng wrote and directed the film themselves?"

Li Chen had no intention of hiding it from the people today, and he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

Han Sanping had just met Chen Sicheng, and he didn't believe that Old Han would not ask a question.

Chen Sicheng certainly wouldn't dare to practice Tai Chi with Lao Han.

"Yes."

Xu Zheng nodded and said nothing more.

It seems that he still has to produce and sell his own products. He believes that as long as he has a good script, it should not be a problem for Li Chen to invest in him.

After all, when they were drinking and signing the contract, Li Chen took the initiative to ask for priority investment in his films in the future.

Han Sanping chatted with Lu Yang and Chen Sicheng for a few minutes and found out the truth.

Li Chen was not polite when he approached him: "I'll get involved in Lu Yang's "Knife Embroidered Spring" and Chinese Film, but forget about Chen Sicheng's "Detective Chinatown Detective".

Li Chen was slightly stunned and hadn't reacted yet.

Han Sanping looked fierce and said, "Why, no?"

"Okay! Listen to Director Han."

Han Sanping then nodded with satisfaction.

Comparing Lu Yang with the fledgling Chen Sicheng, he of course chose Lu Yang.

In fact, he wanted to invest in them all. After all, Rongchen Pictures' profit margins had never disappointed anyone.

It’s just that Rongchen Pictures produces many films every year, so China Film cannot be too greedy and has to make choices.

Only two of them have been revealed so far, and the others are still unknown.
