Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 685 Declaration of Love
China Film Report
"Following the Ip Man series, Lu Yang's martial arts action film Blade of the Assassin, starring Zhu Yawen, Wang Qianyuan, Li Dongxue, Jiang Shuying, Jin Shijie and other actors, started shooting today at the Huairou Film and Television Base in Beijing."

"The film company released a concept poster. Director Lu Yang revealed that the difference between this film and previous martial arts films is that it breaks away from the limitation of the word 'jianghu' and allows real history to become the matrix that truly participates in the narrative."

“They also said that “Blade of the Assassin” should be the first new martial arts film in China.”

"The film Detective Chinatown, written and directed by Chen Sicheng and starring Wang Baoqiang, Liu Haoran, Tong Liya and other actors, recently started filming in Bangkok."

"'Detective Chinatown' is the second Thai comedy produced by Rongchen Pictures after 'Lost in Thailand'."

"The movie Lost in Thailand once greatly stimulated Thailand's tourism industry."

“This time, Rongchen Pictures returned to Thailand again, and the crew received a warm reception from the Thai Prime Minister.”

"The film crew recently released the first poster. In this preview poster called "Arrival", Wang Baoqiang, who looks exaggerated and full of humor, and Liu Haoran, a handsome young man, are walking in the streets of Bangkok's Chinatown with big strides and high spirits."

"The designer of this pilot poster also played hide-and-seek with the film's main creators. According to Yi Xin Media, there are seven mysteries hidden in this poster."

"One Heart Media even announced: Collect the seven secrets on the poster and follow the film's creators on Weibo for a chance to win a summer trip to Thailand."

When seeing the advance posters and marketing of "Detective Chinatown 3", especially Wang Baoqiang's likable look, the expression on Han Saping's face was indescribable.

He knew without guessing that at this moment La Peikang must be criticizing himself in his heart, between a martial arts film and a comedy, you chose a martial arts film!

Han Saping felt more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it, so he called Li Chen.

It starts with a sentence without a beginning or an end: "You did it on purpose, kid!"

Li Chen was completely confused: "What's wrong, Director Han?"

"'Detective Chinatown'!" Han Sanping almost gritted his teeth.

Li Chen finally reacted and pretended to be dumb: "What happened to Detective Chinatown?"

Han Sanping only felt his blood pressure soaring. After a long silence, he said sullenly, "Nothing!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone. Han Saping was furious, but who could he blame? He was the one who chose "The Blade of the Assassin" in the first place. Now he just hoped that "The Blade of the Assassin" could give him some face.

In fact, Han Sanping's worries were completely unnecessary.

The main reason why the previous version of "The Blade Identity" was well received but not a box office success was due to funding constraints, and there was almost no topical publicity before its release.

The leading actor's national promotional tour only has four stops: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu.

As a result, the film had no topicality at all, the audience was not familiar with the film, and naturally the response was mediocre.

But Li Chen is rich and powerful, how could he make such a mistake?

Therefore, from the beginning of filming, this film "Assassin's Blade" has been using the banner of "new martial arts" which is different from traditional martial arts to attract attention.

In the last week of June, the domestic film market was divided between "Maleficent" and "Tiny Times".

Almost all the others were killed.

Whether in terms of screening or box office, "Maleficent" has always been ahead of "Tiny Times".

However, less than a week later, "Tiny Times" had already shown the embarrassment of a fan film.

With the arrival of summer vacation, "Maleficent" seems to have great potential. The box office rose against the decline in the second week, reaching 3.3 million, and the total box office reached 6.4 million.

Beijing News
"Guo Jingming's debut film Tiny Times opened with a high box office of 1.72 million yuan in its first week. The high box office was accompanied by a war of words between industry insiders and fans."

“6月27日《小时代》上映首日以4700万票房创下华语2D影片青春片纪录，根据百度电影票房贴吧的数据，之后几日的入账分别为4500万、4100万及3950万，呈递减之势。”

"It seems that Tiny Times has not shown the same box office and critical acclaim trends as Maleficent and Ip Man: The Final Chapter. With the release of Blind Detective this week, theaters are not optimistic about whether the film can reach 500 million yuan."

Entertainment News
"The war of words is more exciting than the movie!"

"Along with the high box office, the controversy surrounding Tiny Times has become increasingly heated."

"People from all walks of life posted on Weibo or wrote articles to express their attitudes towards the film, but they were all abused by fans of Guo Jingming or the leading actor because they expressed "dislike" for the film."

“Wang Sicong: Fans of “Tiny Times” please unfollow us!”

“Fans responded: Do you think the cinema is owned by your family?”

"Fans responded to fans: It really is opened by their family."

The heated controversy has made two facts clear to people in the industry.

One is the huge potential market for animated films, and the other is the money-making potential of youth-themed films.

No matter how many people curse Guo Jing's name, "Tiny Times" is indeed in the interests of the film company. The cost is not high and the rate of return is not low.

Even though Wanda’s young master was cursing "Tiny Times", the result was that Wanda had to give it more than 30% of the screening rate.

Li Chen has been busy with the post-production of "Vientiane Island" at Zhizhen Painting Art. The box office of "Tiny Times" may be very high in the eyes of others.

But in his eyes, it's nothing special.

If it weren't for some tricks he used, and if it weren't for "Maleficent" taking the lead, the first week box office of "Tiny Times" would have been estimated to have increased by at least 100 million.

Now it seems that the total box office will probably be around 300 million.

However, Guo Xiaosi has made a name for himself and will surely become a guest of honor at major film and television companies in the future.

After all, this guy holds the copyrights to many best-selling novels he wrote.

Liu Yifei's dubbing for "Frozen" went quite smoothly.

Disney was the first to announce the progress of "Frozen".

Reprinted from Hollywood Daily Reporter
"Princess, Please Dub", Liu Yifei completed her first dubbing performance for a Disney animated film."

"Jennifer Lee, one of the directors of Frozen, praised Liu Yifei's cool and elegant temperament for being a perfect match for the protagonist, and praised Liu Yifei's dubbing performance."

"A senior Disney executive revealed that the two sides have reached an agreement that Liu Yifei may voice another Disney animated film."

Liu Yifei now has a unique position in the circle.

Southern Weekly even added the word "Yifei" after the previous "Four Dans and Two Bings" after Liu Yifei won the Magnolia Award.

Others had four or two people taking up one seat, but Liu Yifei was the last one to perform alone.

But no one thinks it is an exaggeration. After all, these seven people truly represent the undisputed top-tier lineup in the domestic entertainment industry.

Yang Mi, Tang Yan and others can only be regarded as top stars.

Some people even believe that Liu Yifei's status has long surpassed the Four Dans and Two Bings, and that she is unique in her class.

After all, none of the Four Dans and Two Bings can star in a Hollywood blockbuster.

But Liu Yifei did it, and carried the box office of "The Hunger Games" alone.

Liu Yifei is also the first female celebrity to be the global spokesperson for Gucci, and she also holds endorsements from two top luxury brands, LV and Bulgari.

The commercial value is immeasurable.

At the Beijing airport, Liu Yifei and her daughter were recognized by passers-by as soon as they appeared.

The assistant and bodyguards escorted the mother and daughter and quickly got out of the crowd and into the car.

However, after not seeing her husband for half a month, as soon as they met, Liu Yifei's discomfort without her husband by her side disappeared without a trace.

It's just that she obviously missed him, but she still had a cold face. Li Chen didn't care, he smiled and greeted her husband's mother, and then let his wife stay by his side.

Seeing his wife suddenly become aloof, Li Chen domineeringly hugged Miss Liu in his arms and joked: "What? Cool and elegant Disney princess, have you forgotten that you are already a wife and a mother?"

Liu Yifei wanted to laugh in her heart, but her face remained cold. She turned her head and said with a stern face: "Don't try to get close to me."

Li Chen was not discouraged, he knew why Miss Liu had such a stern face.

It's simply that her schedule is fully booked. She can only rest for half a month at most after returning to China, and then she has to go to the United States again to cooperate with the global promotion of "The Hunger Games 2".

However, the literary romance film "La La Land" that she had been dreaming of was delayed in filming.

Chen Kexin has not been idle either. She approached me a while ago and hoped that I could also invest in their "Dear" produced by "Our Film"!
However, when Li Chen heard that he had already confirmed that Xiaoyanzi would play the leading role, he immediately refused.

"Okay, okay, my dear wife, thank you for your hard work!" Li Chen said softly with a smile, but in fact he was not idle either.

On one hand, there is the post-production of "Vientiane Island", and on the other hand, there is the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Horse, and he is indispensable for both.

The mother-in-law felt sorry for her son-in-law, so she turned around and said to Li Chen with a smile, "Ignore her! She's been making trouble all day long."

Liu Yifei was unhappy. How could a mother be so disloyal? Who is your daughter!
When she was about to argue, Li Chen quickly interrupted and said, "Mom, I just like her unreasonable behavior!"

This sentence left the mother-in-law dumbfounded. Liu Yifei raised the corners of her mouth, her pride evident in her words.

The mother-in-law paused for a long while, sighed inexplicably, and thought to herself: "With Li Chen's mouth, even if my daughter suffers in the future, I'm afraid she won't be able to speak out her suffering."

Li Chen and Miss Liu didn't know why their mother-in-law sighed.

But it doesn’t matter if you don’t know at this time, expressing your attitude is the most important thing.

"Mom, maybe you think I'm joking, but I have to say that what I said just now was absolutely true." Li Chen straightened his expression. He was still laughing just now, but the atmosphere in the car changed in a moment.

Even Liu Yifei lamented that if her husband had not been a director but an actor, the family would probably have a lot of honors.

She was quite curious about what her husband would say, as he was obviously trying to coax her just now.

Liu Xiaoli smiled faintly, not caring about Li Chen's explanation at all.

But Li Chen's next words made her stunned.

"They say that if you love someone, you should love her completely. I used to scoff at this statement."

"It wasn't until I met Sissi that I realized it was because I had never loved anyone before, and never loved anyone as much as I loved her."

Li Chen glanced at his wife, whose face was slightly flushed, and saw tears flowing in her eyes.

My mother-in-law also seemed interested in listening.

Li Chen continued: "We were lovers before, and now we are both lovers and family. In addition to love, we also have family affection."

"I think...even I have never loved like this." Li Chen said with a smile, and his words moved the mother and daughter in front of him deeply.

Liu Xiaoli thought of herself and then her daughter.

She understood what Li Chen meant: he loved his daughter more than himself.

But this is what she really thinks.
Liu Yifei was stunned. She never thought that just a little bit of her temper would lead to such heartfelt words from her husband.

Seeing her daughter's moist eyes and looking at Li Chen's expression, she wanted to throw herself into his arms immediately.

Liu Xiaoli smiled silently, turned around and pressed the back partition button on her own initiative, her meaning was obvious.

Liu Yifei immediately embraced Li Chen's neck passionately and shut his annoying mouth!
"Woo" Li Chen leaned back, his eyes wide open, looking embarrassed

"CCTV's Focus Interview program aired a segment on July 7 titled 'The Myth of Collagen', which mentioned that 'oral collagen' endorsed by a number of big-name female stars actually has no beauty effects at all."

"Fan Qiaoqiao, Lin Zhiling, Zhang Ziyi, Tang Wei, Zhu Dan, Yang Mi and other female stars were all implicated. The program showed their collagen-related advertising videos, endorsement photos and related news."

"People's Daily followed up on this news on Sina Weibo, saying "regardless of whether it is Yang Mi, Fan Qiaoqiao or any other goddess who endorses the product, it is a lie that oral collagen can beautify the skin."

"Early this morning, Fan Qiaoqiao's studio challenged the People's Daily and CCTV's Focus Interview on Sina Weibo, saying that Fan Qiaoqiao had never endorsed any collagen brand."

"I hope that media friends will be pragmatic, accurate and prudent when reporting the news, and delete the relevant false content and apologize in a timely manner."

On the first day of the nationwide release of "Blind Detective", what became a hot topic was Fan Qiaoqiao's challenge to CCTV.

Yang Siwei has a new respect for Fan Qiaoqiao Studio, and the character of "Fan Ye" has been completely established.

But her boss said that Fan Qiaoqiao was too proud of herself and was extremely stupid.

The People's Daily will apologize to you unless the sun rises from the west.

"Did Brother Chen really say that?" Fan Qiaoqiao would regularly ask Yang Siwei out to go shopping and have a SPA.

After hearing Yang Siwei talk about Li Chen's comments on this matter, he suddenly became a little flustered.

Yang Siwei muttered while applying a facial mask: "Of course it's true."

"At first I thought your studio's response was very courageous, but after the boss said that, I thought about it carefully and felt that it was right."

"Take it easy. The boss is right. No flower stays in bloom forever. When you are popular, everyone will give in to you. But if you encounter difficulties one day, you might become a chicken to scare the monkeys!"

Fan Qiaoqiao was so frightened by Li Chen's words that he had nightmares for several nights.

Yang Mi was smart. She just accepted the name-calling by CCTV and terminated the contract quickly. She was sincere and acted quickly.

Fan Qiaoqiao is actually a weak person with a strong appearance. After the studio posted the Weibo, there was no further news about him.

Neither the Focus Interview nor the People's Daily responded to the question of apology.

The actress from Taiwan who was also named is only deceiving herself when she clamors to take legal action.

In recent years, from Liu Xiaoqing to Naying to Tang Wei and Zhang Baizhi, these once popular actresses, who dared to challenge CCTV?

After being banned, I can only keep apologizing.

Sina Entertainment News

"On the afternoon of July 7, the long-speculated CCTV Spring Festival Gala lineup for the Year of the Horse was officially announced, and the lineup is very luxurious."

"Li Chen was hired as chief director, and Zhao Benshan as deputy chief director and director of language programs."

"Li Chen said frankly that it was his honor to direct the Spring Festival Gala. He will do his best to present a wonderful gala for Chinese people around the world."

Li Chen's statement drew praise from netizens.

It is also appreciated above.

Although they are all big directors, some of them either act like good guys or complain, as if taking a job at CCTV is like something they have done wrong in their previous life.

Han Saping was ordered by his leader to convey a message to Li Chen: Your attitude is correct and deserves praise.

Li Chen and Han Sanping did not hide it either, and said with a smile: "Director Han, do you believe it? If it was Feng Xiaogang who was in charge."

"He would definitely say that directing the Spring Festival Gala is a thankless job and that if he fails, his reputation will be ruined. However, in order to give back to the audience, he has no choice but to take on the challenge head on."

Han Sanping smiled as he listened. Li Chen had imitated Feng Xiaogang so well and had captured Feng Xiaogang's sarcasm to perfection.

"Besides that, Feng Xiaogang might even try to be nice and ask the reviewing leaders to show some mercy."

Han Sanping laughed out loud when he heard this: "You are such a smart guy!"
