Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 682: The Fans’ War Begins
Yang Mi knew that Guo Xiaosi would definitely not have a good time today.

He didn't know the senior well enough, and he had no idea of ​​his true ability.

He overestimated himself and greatly underestimated his opponent.

There is one thing that Yang Mi and Zeng Jia have discussed countless times.

It refers to the film and television copyrights owned by the company.

The conclusion I came to was that the senior student had an incredibly forward-thinking vision.

He realized the importance of copyright when no one else did.

Not only did they realize it, but they also took action early.

Nowadays, more than 80% of the copyrights of classic films and TV series replayed by major satellite TV stations are purchased from Rongchen Pictures.

Like "Soldier Assault", "Blood Romance", "Parents' Love", the 1983 version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, etc.

This income alone is probably an astronomical figure.

There are many rich people in the circle, but there are only a few who have so much money that you can’t count them on your fingers. You, the senior, are definitely one of the best among them.

Although there is a saying of "Six Major Private Enterprises" nowadays.

But people in the industry are actually aware that Rongchen Pictures has a completely independent position among the six major private enterprises, and it stands out like a crane among chickens.

In her opinion, what happened today was completely Guo Xiaosi offering to be killed on his own initiative.

Li Chen spoke in fluent Chinese, but Oliver Stone didn't understand. The Chinese translator standing next to him also didn't react for a while.

It’s just that the expressions on the faces of the other two Chinese people in front of me were too varied.

Ren Zhonglun wanted to laugh but couldn't find it funny. There was a look of surprise and helplessness in his eyes. Zhang Zhaoze was obviously a little surprised.

Even Liu Yifei stopped and used the "Lingbo Weibu" to come to Tang Yan and the others without leaving a trace.

They were only three or four steps away from Li Chen, and they heard Li Chen's words "children's words are without restraint" very clearly.

Zhu Yawen had her back to Li Chen and the others. Seeing that Liu Yifei's slightly stiff steps were obviously heading towards Director Li, she secretly gave Liu Yifei a thumbs up.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Zhu Yawen.

At a glance, from Tang Yan to Yang Mi, then to Feng Shaofeng and Nini, everyone had smiles in their eyes but was very meticulous, pretending not to be too hard.

Liu Yifei sighed in her heart, and she was the only one who couldn't laugh.

Tang Yan seemed to see her bestie's worry, so she took her arm and whispered, "Don't worry about the boss. If you have to worry, it should be someone else."

"Look at them, and then look at the attitude of the people around him."

Tang Yan's words woke Liu Yifei up, and she finally reacted.

It seemed that everyone's attitude towards Guo Jingming, the uninvited guest, was consistent today, and their dislike was directly shown on their faces.

From the moment he came in, he only greeted Da Mimi. Da Mimi was a smart person and turned her back and pretended not to see him.

Why is this happening? Isn’t it because they are afraid of angering the public?

Tang Yan was right. Instead of worrying about her husband, she should worry about her opponent.

But she always felt something was wrong, especially at the premiere press conference of "Tiny Times" yesterday, Guo Jingming's fans were extremely fierce.

Guo Jingming's face flushed red, and he felt that the people in front of him were looking at him as if they were looking at a circus clown!

This is blatant humiliation.

Zhang Zhao didn't expect that Li Chen's words were still as sharp as ever.

Previously in Guangxian, he worked with Yang Siwei.

There are not many opportunities to deal with Li Chen.

But he knew that Li Chen's strength was unfathomable, and even if he set up his own business, he did not want to offend him.

If Rongchen Pictures allowed his LeTV Pictures to distribute its films, he would immediately fall out with small-time players like Guo Jingming.

Seeing Guo Jingming's face flushed and he couldn't say a word, Zhang Zhao immediately tried to smooth things over, "Director Li is really good at joking. Director Guo is a newcomer. Compared to big directors like you, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is just a child who has not experienced much of the world."

Guo Jingming also reacted. He must not lose his temper at this moment, otherwise he would become a laughing stock in the whole audience.

Guo Jingming suppressed his anger and put on a harmless smile: "Director Li, you and I are about the same age, but you debuted ten years earlier than me."

"I remember your debut film was Lost on Journey, which grossed over 3 million on the first day, and the total box office was less than 50 million, right?"

"That's right!" Li Chen was at ease, looking at the little man in front of him who perfectly interpreted the saying 'concentration is the essence'.

Guo Jingming added: "In the past ten years, the number of domestic movie screens has increased nearly tenfold. Believe it or not, my "Tiny Times" will probably crush you tenfold in both the first-day box office and the total box office."

Ren Zhonglun smiled, thinking to himself that this villain was quite similar to Li Chen in a way, both were extremely arrogant.

But the difference is that Li Chen has the capital to be arrogant.

Zhang Zhao also glanced at Guo Xiaosi beside him in surprise.

The pre-sale box office data was indeed very encouraging. He just told Guo Jingming that the first day box office would be at least no less than 30 million, and this guy couldn't help but show off.

Li Chen also laughed. Guo Jingming's intention was simply to say that he was no worse than himself.

This dwarf must have been provoked to the point of losing his mind by my words "childish talk".

He is now a man of enlightenment and cares more about his reputation.

But Guo Xiaosi was like a little demon that had just evolved into a human, and he was only after the money.

The two of them are not the same kind of people at all.

The fans of the original novel of "Tiny Times", fans of people like Yang Mi, and the negative marketing strategy of "Tiny Times" did contribute significantly to the early growth of the box office.

But it is pure nonsense to say that Guo Jingming can have the box office appeal of big directors like Li Chen, Lao Mouzi, and Zhou Xingchi.

"Let me tell you something." Li Chen still had the same condescending look as before, looking down at Guo Jingming.

"Director Li, please speak. I'm all ears." Guo Jingming took half a step away. This posture made him too uncomfortable.

However, he felt that he seemed to have regained 10% of the advantage because he felt that Li Chen seemed angry.

"The difference between you and me is more than just height!" Li Chen said slowly again.

Guo Jingming's smile froze on his face, his nose felt sore, and the corners of his eyes became moist.

This time even Ren Zhonglun was stunned.

Zhu Yawen couldn't help but cough, which sounded extremely harsh.

Tang Yan and the others all had strange expressions, and each of them looked at Liu Yifei with eyes full of flattery and envy.

"Fortunately, my senior scolded me that day and I endured it!" Yang Mi smiled and glared at Liu Yifei. She and Tang Yan stood on both sides of Liu Yifei, letting her stand in the middle.

Liu Yifei gave Yang Mi a reproachful look.

That day she invited herself and her husband to attend the premiere of "Tiny Times". Her husband scolded her for not thinking before speaking, but I helped her change the subject.

Tang Yan said jokingly, "No one asked you to be patient. You, Da Mimi, even dared to scold Cai Yinong. Who else can ask you to be patient?"

"Come on, Senior is not that woman. When he opens his mouth, it's sharper than the Heavenly Sword. I don't want to experience it!" The three girls whispered quietly, and Zhu Yawen also joined in the fun: "Da Mimi, you are the lead actor of "Tiny Times", be careful that Director Li will remember it."

This touched Yang Mi's sore spot, and Yang Mi immediately became furious: "Get lost! You think your senior is just like you, damn Wang Xiaojian!"

Li Chen ignored Guo Jingming who was about to cry and looked at his watch: "Everyone, it's almost time, please take a seat."

Oliver Stone and Ren Zhonglun nodded, and turned around and sat down with Li Chen. No one said a word to Guo Jingming.

Guo Jingming stood there, and kept telling himself in his heart, "You must not cry! You must not cry!"
"Xiao Guo, let's go, don't stand here!" Zhang Zhao pulled Guo Jingming. He felt uncomfortable with the feeling of being the "center of attention".

"Well, I want to see what's so special about his animated film!" Guo Jingming nodded.

When I turned around, I saw that directors Gu Changwei and Jia Zhangke were looking at me with contempt, ridicule, and gloating. My nose felt sore again and I couldn't help but let a tear fall.

This scene was seen by many sharp-eyed people, and the news that Guo Jingming was crying spread like wildfire.

People who didn't know the inside story were gossiping about what Director Li had said to him that made him cry.

After sitting down, Liu Yifei leaned close to her husband's ear and whispered, "You are bullying me again!"

Li Chen smiled and said, "Let's watch a movie and not mention this person."

Liu Yifei really listened to the advice, just glanced at her husband and really didn't mention it again.

She was his bedmate and knew his habits and personality better than anyone else over the years.

There are rumors outside that her husband is henpecked. In her opinion, it depends on the person and the situation.

In her experience, if a husband treats people unfairly, then there is probably something wrong with him.

Just like Sirloin, Zhen Zidan, Wen Zhang, Lu Chuan and so on.

As soon as the movie started, it attracted everyone's attention.

Compared with domestic animations, the animation "Maleficent" is so good in terms of picture quality, colors and characters that Oliver Stone said he thought it was produced by Disney.

After the premiere, Oliver Stone said in an interview with Sina: "It's incredible. It's hard to imagine that Chinese animated films can reach the level of Disney."

"It is full of imagination to rescue Maleficent from her hatred and awaken Sleeping Beauty with a mother's kiss."

"Li, you are worthy of being Hollywood's top screenwriter!"

This interview with Oliver Stone quickly appeared in the Hollywood Daily Report and major domestic media.

Disney also reacted quickly, seemingly forgetting about the special edition, and expressed on its official website that it is looking forward to "Maleficent" landing in North America.

In the hot searches, "Maleficent" accounted for nine entries.

In addition to the blockbuster success of "Maleficent", Li Chen's phrase "children's words are fearless" was also pushed to the top of the hot searches.

What's more, some people even revealed Li Chen's last sentence, "The difference between you and me is more than just height."

Guo Jingming's fans were unhappy and flocked to Li Chen and Liu Yifei's Weibo to curse them.

But Li Chen and Liu Yifei’s fans are not pushovers either.

On one side, there are a lot of swear words, and on the other side, it's all high-end black, without a single swear word.

Guo fans: "Do you know why you are called poisonous tongue? Because you never speak human language!"

Li Fan: "You can't understand human language, you haven't evolved very thoroughly."

Guo fans: "Who is Leo? Leonardo! Who do you think you are? You are a piece of shit. I am laughing."

Li fans: "You guys drink, drink, drink, we all support you."

Guo fans: "I really wonder which animal is not tied up properly!"

Li Fan: "I think you are quite free."

Guo fans: "Is your husband the cheapest? Be careful you get infected by her!"

Tianxian fans: "It doesn't matter, as long as it has nothing to do with you, it's not fatal!"

Liu Yifei's worries came true, and Guo Jingming's fans are indeed not easy to deal with.

Although their number is not as much as that of either Li Chen or Liu Yifei, they are better in being unreasonable.

"I knew it would be like this. Look, both you and I were scolded!" On the way back to the villa, Miss Liu laughed instead of getting angry.

"You are so happy even after being scolded. Are you okay?" Li Chen touched his wife's forehead and said with a smile.

"You are the one who is in trouble! I'm fine!" Miss Liu pushed Li Chen's hand away, came close to Li Chen and said with a smile: "Those who are replying are thinking people, right?"

"do not know!"

"Tsk, I don't know that. Let alone, these people under Siwei are quite talented. They don't even use dirty words when they curse people."

"Humph, this is just the beginning. Just wait and see. I am definitely not the first person to scold him, and I will definitely not be the last person he scolds."

This was a tongue-twisting sentence, and it took Miss Liu a while to react. She nodded as if she understood, "Is that Tiny Times really that bad? What you said makes me want to watch it again!"

"Stop it right there. 'Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains' is fine, just consider it as supporting Brother Hua, but 'Tiny Times' is aiding the enemy. If you dare to go, I will divorce you!" As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chen laughed first.

Miss Liu immediately bared her teeth and pressed on him: "If you say another word, who are you going to divorce?"

People wear thin clothes in summer, and any normal person would have a physiological reaction to this ambiguous posture.

Miss Liu only felt a tent pressing against her buttocks. Li Chen felt uncomfortable in this position and immediately became soft: "I dare not divorce you even if I divorce you!"

Miss Liu blushed, got off her husband, and glared at him coquettishly: "Rogue!"

Li Chen had no way to refute it, he just looked out the window and wanted to get some fresh air.

Miss Liu burst into laughter and leaned on his shoulder.

Li Chen looked back and snorted, "I'm a hooligan, and you're still so close to me!"

Unexpectedly, Miss Liu leaned over to his ear, and every word sounded like a magic sound penetrating his ears: "If you dare to act like a hooligan with others, I will slap you!"

These words made Li Chen's ears itch. He looked down and saw that his wife's face was flushed, her eyes were blurred, and her red lips were tender and tempting, which was very attractive.

Li Chen's breath surged, and he immediately leaned forward to taste it.
This is the good thing about luxury cars: the private space is amazing.

However, both of them are adults, and even though they were so engrossed in the kiss, they did not forget that they were in the car.

It's just the feeling of having a driver in front of them that makes both of them feel inexplicably nervous and excited.

Back at the villa, the two of them completely exploded.

The sofa became the main battlefield. It was unknown how long it had passed before the two of them finally hugged each other quietly, sweating profusely.

"Wife?"

"Ok?"

"What's wrong with you today? You seem a little different from usual."

After the love, there was still a lingering smile on Miss Liu's face, and a few strands of hair stuck to her forehead, adding a rare touch of tenderness.

She was indeed different today, but she didn't want to tell her husband because she was becoming more and more dependent on him and could not live without him.
