Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 677 Premiere
Sina Entertainment News

"Maleficent, produced by Zhizhen Art and adapted from the classic fairy tale Sleeping Beauty, released its final trailer in both Chinese and English yesterday."

"With its exquisite images, romantic style and two IMAX 3D versions, this first animated film by Rongchen Pictures seems to be cast with magic."

"As soon as the trailer was released, it quickly grabbed the headlines of major Hollywood and mainland media, sparking heated discussions among Chinese and foreign netizens. Overseas netizens exclaimed: Is this really not a Disney production?"

Tiantian Xinbao reports
"The mentor of "The Voice of China" is dictatorial, Zhang Ziyi scolded the contestant and made her cry, which was suspected to be a show."

"In fact, The Voice of China has been criticized by the public since its launch, with flaws such as messy editing, weak trainees, and unprofessional comments from instructors."

"The 'reality show' performances of the four mentors in the program, such as Eason Chan throwing a chair, Zhang Ziyi and Luo Dayou arguing, and Zheng Jun's scheming, were also questioned by the audience as acting."

"Zhang Ziyi, who shed tears on the show many times, said: I was so nervous when facing negative reviews that I didn't know how to deal with it. I participated in this show and got to know myself again. This is a wonderful platform. It made me realize that I am such an emotional person who often cries."

The summer season is about to begin, and the film and television industry is filled with smoke.

Zhang Ziyi's "Perfect Match 2" is scheduled to be released on September 9, and the trailer for "Sophie Returns" has also been released.

Fan Qiaoqiao's "One Night Surprise" was aimed at the Chinese Valentine's Day, although it was released more than a month earlier than "Perfect Match 2".

But how could Fan Qiaoqiao himself forget Zhang Ziyi, this yesterday's flower.

Even the media will not let go of this pair of controversial sisters who have fallen out over "Perfect Match".

When attending the event, Fan Qiaoqiao was asked by the media whether "One Night Surprise" and his former comrade Zhang Ziyi's "Very Lucky" are both romantic comedies and will be released at about the same time, and whether they will reproduce the knife-fighting competition scene between the two in "Perfect Match".

However, Fan Qiaoqiao used the phrase "I'm not afraid of opponents who are as strong as gods, but I'm afraid of opponents who are as strong as pigs" to reinforce her domineering "Fan Ye" persona.

This is the same as the original intention of Zhang Ziyi, a filmmaker, who cried and cursed at will on the copycat music variety show "The Voice of China", which frequently caused heated discussions.

It's nothing more than establishing a persona and increasing one's own popularity and exposure, they are just some tricks.

The identity of Fan Qiaoqiao's hidden boyfriend is still unclear, but Yang Siwei knows the truth. This hidden boyfriend is actually her contracted artist Li Zhiting.

Capital can find beautiful female stars, and naturally it can also find handsome young men with good looks.

Today's "Fan Ye" is neither big nor small and is also an asset.

The sample editing of the first season of "Idol Coming" has just been released.

Several leading domestic satellite TV stations rushed to Beijing one after another.

Especially Mango TV, a show called "The Voice of China" which imitates "The Voice of China" failed to save its ratings which started high but ended low even though it brought in the international star Zhang.

Netizens couldn't help but joke that "The Voice of China" should be changed to "China's Best Actor" so that the mentor Zhang Guoliang would have a place to show his talents.

On June 2nd, "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" held its world premiere at the Beijing Olympic Sports Center.

Liu Dehua's good popularity was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Wang Zhonglei, Feng Xiaogang and his wife, Liu Huan and his daughter, Zhang Jizhong, Deng Jie and others all came to support the event, making it a star-studded event.

Even Director Han, who had just been promoted, came to visit.

Li Chen and Yang Siwei arrived at the scene just before the evening rush hour, while young actresses such as Zhao Liying and Zhang Hanyun arrived earlier.

After leaving their names on the autograph plate, Li Chen and Yang Siwei were blocked by reporters.

After finally catching him in person, the reporters started asking him a lot of questions at once. Those who didn't know would have thought that today was an exclusive interview with Li Chen.

The entertainment reporter at the forefront spoke first.

"Director Li, Director Li, what Director Li An said about mainland directors being a bit narcissistic and mainland China not having good movies, what do you think?"

In fact, Li Chen could have just glossed over this issue.

But thinking of Li An's seemingly gentle but actually arrogant look, Li Chen didn't want to easily get away with it.

"If there is none in the mainland, is there one in Taiwan?"

These words made the reporters on the scene excited. This was the innate topic holy body that the media and paparazzi loved most.

At that station, whether you speak or not will become the focus.

Yang Siwei stood silently beside Li Chen, like a bodyguard, watching his every move, not worried at all about the impact of his boss's attack.

Li Chen caught a glimpse of the crew of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" walking on the red carpet. The height of Taiwan's number one model stood out among the main creators of the crew.

Li Chen's heart moved, and he said, "Ms. Lin Zhiling's 101 Marriage Proposals grossed over 183 million in mainland China, but only million in Taiwan, a difference of more than times."

"If I were Director Li An, I would first worry about the films in Taiwan."

"Otherwise, in a few years, all the filmmakers from all over the world may leave their nests and return to the north, or they can follow his example and develop in North America."

Some people in the crowd laughed, while others looked unhappy.

Li Chen's words were obviously referring to Li An.

Li An's frank speech at the event that day clearly cleared himself from the problem.

To put it nicely, art has no borders; to put it bluntly, it means that you don’t know your own last name.

Seeing Liu Dehua and his friends coming over, Li Chen did not delay any longer. He said goodbye to the many media reporters after leaving his last words: "However, things are different now. North Americans still want to come to China across the ocean."

Lin Zhiling stood high and could see far, and at first sight she saw Director Li who was surrounded by reporters.

In her eyes, Director Li is not only very individual, but also very charming.

He still has his signature shaved head, sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and exudes confidence.

A simple azure blue shirt with one button slightly open makes it look more casual and free.

Seeing the other party looking at her, Lin Zhiling immediately bowed slightly and nodded with a smile, but Li Chen's gaze only lingered on her face for a moment.

"Brother Hua, Director Li is here." Lin Zhiling's coquettish voice sounded in Liu Dehua's ears.

Liu Dehua naturally saw it and said with a smile: "Li Chen came early today."

Tong Dawei also saw Li Chen: "Director Li came really early today."

No one saw Yang Siwei.

This is the reality in the circle.

Even if a great director is dressed in ordinary clothes, he still attracts attention.

When other people stand next to them, even if they are dressed up beautifully, they can't avoid becoming a foil.

Just now, a few people saw Feng Xiaogang, who was wearing sneakers and a baseball cap. Those who didn’t know him would think he was here to play basketball.

But no one dared to say anything more.

"Brother Hua, you have a close relationship with Director Li, could you please say a few good words for me later?" Lin Zhiling's eyelashes fluttered like a palm leaf fan, but unfortunately Liu Dehua didn't see it.

Liu Dehua turned around and smiled: "No problem."

"Thank you, Brother Hua." Lin Zhiling said in a coquettish voice and glanced at Sun Jianjun beside her. Compared with Director Li, the difference was like a firefly compared to the bright moon. She felt extremely disgusted.

Just now during the backstage interview, the reporter's words made her emotional.

It turned out that Director Sun said that he wanted to bring out the full potential of Lin Chiling's vase in "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

The word "vase" made Lin Zhiling feel upset and she was dismissive of Director Sun's EQ.

Liu Dehua agreed readily, but in his opinion, it would be futile whether he said it or not.

Having known Li Chen for so many years, he knew him very well. It was almost impossible for an actress other than Rong Chen to win Li Chen's favor.

Even if you are the number one supermodel in Taiwan, Li Chen doesn't want to sleep with you, so why should he take care of you as a model?

Huang Xiaoming's young model girlfriend is ahead of you in line, but there is still no chance.

Li Chen's sentence "If there is no such thing in the mainland, is there such thing in Taiwan?" quickly became a hot topic.

Mainland netizens were enthusiastic and left messages one after another.

"Taiwan has "Back Mountain"! Taiwan has the unedited "Lust, Caution"!"

"Leo should have spoken out long ago. Feng Kuzi fought against thousands of netizens alone, but became mute when he met Li An. He is a typical bully who only fears the strong."

"It's still Leo's youthful vigor!"

"Li An: Little Leo, don't be so young and impetuous! Little Leo: If you are not impetuous, you are still a young man!"

Han Sanping was still on the way when his secretary told him that Director Li was on the hot search again.

Han Sanping glanced at Li Chen's words and found nothing wrong with them. He couldn't help but smile: "I'm afraid this kid will gain more fans again, right?"

"Director, it's already rising."

Han Sanping shook his head slightly: "This kid, others gain fans through their works, but he gains fans just by talking."

"Director, the current prosperity of the mainland's film market is entirely due to your keen eye for talent."

Li An was the first to see Li Chen's golden words on the hot search, and immediately remembered the scene when he invited him to participate in the Golden Horse Awards some time ago.

Beads of sweat appeared on Li An's forehead, and he didn't even dare to read the comments from mainland netizens online.

"I've told you to keep a low profile a long time ago, but you just wouldn't listen. You're good at making movies, but you're far from being a good person!" His wife's voice brought Li An back to reality.

"I've already said it. Was I wrong?" Li An is also a stubborn person.

"You're right, but who will listen to you? We're all old, why bother causing trouble?"

Li An was speechless because of what his wife said.

In terms of honors, he can look down on the Chinese film and television industry, but in terms of box office and reputation, he is not even ranked in the mainland.

In the Olympic Sports Center, Li Chen seemed to be the center of attention.

Sun Jianjun was very angry, and those who didn't know him would think he was the director of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

Lin Zhiling was secretly delighted. The few words that Li Chen said in the media interview quickly spread in the Olympic Sports Center.

Lin Zhiling didn't expect that the great director Li Chen would pay attention to the box office of "101 Marriage Proposals" and even knew the box office in Taiwan.

"Director Li, have you also seen '101 Marriage Proposals'?" Liu Dehua brought Lin Zhiling to find Li Chen and they chatted for a few words. Lin Zhiling was surprised and asked Li Chen for confirmation like a fan girl.

"I've seen it. I watched it with Yifei."

"Ah?" Lin Zhiling could never have imagined that this would be the answer.

Liu Dehua felt amused and thought to himself that Li Chen was a really interesting person.

After a brief surprise, Lin Zhiling, who has high emotional intelligence, quickly adjusted her mood: "Director Li, my future work focus will be on the mainland. If there is a suitable role, please consider me. It doesn't matter if I play an ugly role."

No wonder the supermodel's voice is used for navigation. If it were anyone else, Li Chen would probably think it was an intentional act.

However, when Li Chen thought about the fact that this guy finally found a Japanese guy, he lost his good impression of him.

"it is good."

Liu Dehua laughed secretly, Li Chen was really frugal with words.

No wonder there is a reputation as an insulator for female stars.

Lin Zhiling was very tactful. When he saw that Director Li agreed, he cheered and clasped his hands together to express his gratitude.

Then he found an excuse and left.

As soon as Lin Zhiling left, Liu Dehua smiled and said, "You are really frugal with words. I've read it. Good!"

"And another sentence: I watched it with Yifei."

Li Chen curled his lips and said, "If I say a few more words, these girls can write a short essay. Do you believe it, Brother Hua?"

Liu Dehua laughed: "That's right."

"The movie will be over soon. Don't leave in a hurry. I'll treat Director Han and you to dinner tonight."

Li Chen did not refuse.

Liu Dehua mentioned to him that Sun Jianjun was introduced to Liu Dehua by Han Sanping.

When filming "The Founding of a Republic" that year, Lao Han introduced Sun Jianjun, who had never acted in a movie, to Liu Dehua.

At that time, the script of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" was sent to Liu Dehua. Liu Dehua didn't like it, so he asked Sun Jianjun to revise it again, and he revised it seven or eight times.

Liu Dehua finally agreed, but he refused to agree to Sun Jianjun's suggestion that he should direct the film.

Later I heard that Director Sun asked around in the circle but no one was willing to direct "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", so he had no choice but to do it himself.

So, in this play, Director Han is the matchmaker.

This dinner tonight is most likely a thank you party for the matchmaker.

Han Sanping arrived late and immediately became the focus of the scene.

Wang Zhonglei also came over and kept calling Director Han a "Director".

Han Saping, however, acted calmly and looked like a leader, as if he was in charge of the country.

After chatting with a few people, he walked towards Li Chen and La Peikang.

The three of them didn't say much before the world premiere officially began.

Li Chen sat next to Han Sanping. Han Sanping looked at the big screen and said to Li Chen confidently, "This blockbuster is no worse than your "Thieves Gate". Take a good look at it!"

Li Chen turned his head to look at Han Sanping who was already immersed in self-absorption, and nodded silently.

I just pray in my heart, hoping that after the screening, La Peikang won't regret Lao Han's mother in his heart.

Li Chen glanced at Liu Dehua on his right again.

This high-quality idol who claims that he doesn't mind being the Asian Tom Cruise will probably become the Tom Cruise after the release of the movie.

The last time Li Chen watched this drama, he didn’t finish it, but this time he forced himself to finish it.

As soon as the movie ended, Han Sanping and Liu Dehua both joined the crowd in applauding.

The smile on his face seemed to say to the applauding crowd: "Admitted!"

Li Chen clapped twice symbolically and then let his hands drop naturally.

Han Sanping glanced at Li Chen and felt more at ease when he saw that Li Chen was smiling.

"Old man, my vision is pretty good, right?" Old Han turned his head to the left and scared La Peikang.

"Not bad, not bad, Director Han's vision can't be bad!"

Li Chen's smile deepened.
