Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 719: The Conferred God Showdown to Block Sha Qiang
LeTV’s annual summit was held with great fanfare, but was snatched away by Li Chen, who took over Zhang Yimou’s LeTV in advance.

They actually picked a general from among the dwarfs and asked Lu Tailang, a die-hard fan of Zhang Yimou, to support the scene. It was really laughable.

Beijing News reported

"At the LeTV Pictures Annual Summit, China's new generation director Lu Chuan announced that he had officially signed a contract to cooperate with LeTV Pictures."

"Lu Chuan recalled her childhood dream of becoming a filmmaker, saying that when she was in high school, she actually wanted to be a poet and writer, but she was deeply shocked after watching Red Sorghum directed by Zhang Yimou."

"LeEco said it wanted to transform itself into an Internet company. During the event that day, LeEco Pictures revealed for the first time the films that it would release and produce in 2014."

"These include films such as "Iceman 3D: Rebirth Gate", "The Expendables 3", "Tiny Times: Aoki Era", "Tiny Times: The Golden Age", "The Crossing", and "Old Boys: Way of the Dragon".

"Among the directors who have signed contracts or cooperated are Wu Yusen, Lu Chuan, Guo Jingming, Simon West and other directors. Zhang Zhao expects the annual box office output to exceed 30 billion yuan."

Jinghua Daily reported
"The new generation of Mou girl looks like Liu Yifei."

"The trailer of Zhang Yimou's new film "Coming Home" was released, and the new actress Zhang Huiwen was also revealed. It is reported that Zhang Huiwen is a leader selected by Zhang Yimou from many post-90s girls with dance skills."

"Because of her resemblance to Liu Yifei, she has been hotly discussed by netizens."

The new "Mou Girl" has just been announced, but she has become a hot topic because she looks like Liu Yifei.

Even Zhang Yimou became the target of netizens' ridicule.

"The charm between her eyebrows is simply a little Liu Yifei!"

"Lao Mouzi's aesthetics have been formatted by Leo! The actresses of Mou are all based on the template of Mrs. Li!"

“Excellent artists always resonate with people!”

"The choice of Yimou and Li fully proves that Liu Yifei's beauty is attractive to people of all ages!"

“The power of capital crushes the artist’s aesthetic taste.”

Li Chen also paid attention to Zhang Yimou's new actress.

I called Lao Mouzi immediately.

"Director Zhang, can we say that heroes think alike?"

Zhang Yimou laughed: "Of course, I didn't think they look alike at first, but after the media compared them, I really do look like Yifei."

Li Chen also laughed and said, "If you ask me, if I had known this would happen, why would I have to find a newcomer? I could have just let Xixi play a cameo role as a "Mou Girl"!"

Zhang Yimou laughed: "Yes, Chen Ting just told me that he didn't want to use Youfei, he had to use a stand-in!"

Li Chen laughed out loud. He didn't expect Chen Ting to be so sensible.

Wu Bin completed all the post-production of "Longling Mystery Cave" and began preparations for two other animations.

One of them is Nezha, which is based on the story of the Conferred Gods.

"Nirvana in Fire" also revealed a set of stills of Hu Ge's styling for the first time.

Hu Ge has changed his usual youthful and sunny image and become deep and quiet, which is very eye-catching.

Ever since he had a falling out with Zhongguoxing, Li Chen hadn't taken it seriously.

Yang Siwei, however, always pays attention to the developments in China's development.

That day, Yang Siwei learned a piece of news from Huang Xiaoming and immediately contacted Li Chen.

"Boss, there's some movement at Zhongguoxing."

"Why, that fat lady started to attack Zhou Xingchi?"

"No, they have put together a project, also about the Conferred Gods, and it seems like they want to compete with our Nezha! And the most interesting thing is that most of the actors they found are people that Rongchen doesn't use."

"Want to fight with me? Does he have the ability to do so?" Li Chen sneered, already guessing which one Yang Siwei was talking about.

Isn’t it the movie “The Legend of Lei Zhenzi” that promoted his son’s fame?

Wrong, it’s “Legend of the Gods”!
"Since he wants to play, let's have some fun with him."

Sina Entertainment News

"Recently, there is news that China Xing will spend 3 million yuan to shoot a 3D version of "Investiture of the Gods" this year, inviting many Chinese superstars to help."

"On March 3, Xiang Zuo, son of Xiang Huaqiong, chairman of China Xing, revealed the concept drawings of the characters in The Investiture of the Gods through his Sina Weibo account."

"The picture shows that Jet Li plays Jiang Ziya, with long hair and white beard; Huang Xiaoming plays Erlang Shen, dressed in armor; BABY plays the mermaid, and her long gauze dress looks very elegant."

"Shu Qi plays Daji, who is very charming and sexy; while Wen Zhang plays Nezha, whose costume is even more bizarre."

"Xiang Zuo, the son of Xiang Huaqiang, plays Lei Zhenzi. It is reported that the film is expected to start shooting in Beijing in September. The boss's wife, Mrs. Xiang, played the friendship card and invited all her friends in the circle. It is said that all of them were given preferential prices."

Zhongguo Xing's move this time shocked the industry. His wife said at the Academy Awards ceremony that her husband really loved movies and he persisted even if he lost money on every movie he made.

Later, it got on the bandwagon of Rongchen Pictures and turned losses into profits.

But this time, neither Xiang Zuo nor the news that had already broken out mentioned Rongchen Pictures at all.

The media couldn't help but speculate whether Rongchen Pictures had a rift with China Xing again.

It was because of the rift in the cooperation with Ying Huang that Zhongguo Xing got the opportunity.

Xiang Zuo does have a talent for comedy. The concept map of Fengshen that he posted on Weibo soon attracted ridicule from netizens.

"How can Shu Qi's Daji be a fox spirit? She is clearly a greedy snake transformed into a spirit!"

"Golden scales + smoky makeup, I'm not playing Daji, but the Naga Siren in World of Warcraft, right?"

"King Zhou applied for animal protection overnight: I really don't want to sleep with a snake."

"Wen Zhang's Nezha is a middle-aged Nezha, an unemployed punk."

"Others are Nezha making trouble in the sea, this Nezha is probably here to make trouble in the heart."

"Did the director have any misunderstanding about 'young hero'? This Nezha looks more vicissitudes than Jiang Ziya."

The person who was criticized the most must be Xiang Zuo.

"Lei Zhenzi? This is obviously the illegitimate child of Batman and the Smurf!"

"The God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning would call the police if they saw this: someone is stealing my IP."

"Xiang Zuo's acting is as stiff as Lei Zhenzi's wings - he can't even fly."

Li Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and asked Yang Siwei which comments were left by her people.

Yang Siwei looked even more wronged than Dou E: "Boss, they are really not my people. I didn't expect this family to be so 'welcome'!"

This guy is so talented that he directly involved Xiang Huaqiang and the fat lady.

Batman is Xiang Huaqiang, and who are the Smurfs?
Xiang Tai was so angry that his face turned blue.

Shu Qi directly broke the appointment: "I don't want to act anymore, Mrs. Xiang, I really can't stand it, I'm sorry"

If this had happened ten years ago, she wouldn't have dared to break the appointment even if she had ten times the courage.

The Xiang family has not yet figured out whether Rongchen Pictures is behind this.

Li Chen released his killer move. He directly released the first chapter of the Conferred Gods Universe, "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World".
Entertainment Online Report
"Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World VS The Legend of Lei Zhenzi: The "God-conferring" showdown between Rongchen Pictures and China Xing, who will define the myth of the new era?"

"Recently, China's two largest film and television giants, Rongchen Pictures and China Xing, have successively announced plans for new films on the theme of The Investiture of the Gods, causing a stir in the industry."

"In the first concept poster released today, Nezha appears as a rebellious teenager with red hair and red eyes, wrapped in the Hun Tian Ling. The background is Chentang Pass engulfed in flames, with the slogan "My fate is determined by me, not by God", which instantly ignited discussions on social media."

"Director Wu Bin said: "We don't want to repeat the traditional tragic story of Nezha 'returning his bones to his father', but to explore the philosophical proposition of 'whether evil is born to be destined'. This will be a darker and more passionate epic of growth."

"China's "Legend of the Gods": Hong Kong-style fantasy blockbuster, can Xiang Zuo carry the banner of Lei Zhenzi?"

One is the Fengshen Universe, one is "The Legend of Fengshen", one is produced by Rongchen, and the other is produced by Zhongguoxing.

Any normal person would know how to choose.

Boss Ying Huang was overjoyed: "What happened? Did Li Chen and Xiang Huaqi break up?"

Huo Wenxi was also confused: "I haven't heard of it, Boss. Yang Siwei is very tight-lipped and didn't say anything useful."

"It doesn't matter. We can just sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers. No, compared to Zhongguo Xing and Rong Chen, he is at most a cat. Hahahaha"

Mrs. Xiang's face turned from blue to green, and she was almost injured by anger.

Although I know that Rongchen Pictures has an upcoming animated film on the theme of Fengshen.

But I never expected that it would be released deliberately at this critical juncture.

Isn't this obviously targeting their Xiang family!
In this battle without the smoke of gunpowder, the first cannon fodder was Huang Xiaoming, who had a high emotional intelligence.

As soon as Rongchen Pictures announced the project of the Fengshen Universe, it stated that it would also film sequels such as Yang Jian and Jiang Ziya.

Huang Xiaoming was pushed to the top of the hot searches by netizens.

“Huang Xiaoming’s inner thoughts at this moment: Why am I always the one who gets hurt?”

"Xiaoming's best strategy right now is to 'not take sides'. After all, he can't afford to lose either Xiang Huaqiong's connections or Li Chen's capital."

"What connections are there? The Hong Kong circle is a thing of the past. If Huang Xiaoming has any brains, he will know what to choose. The IP of Ghost Blows Out the Light will be enough for him to make a living for the rest of his life."

"On one side is the godfather, on the other side is the uncle, Xiaoming brother is in a difficult situation!"

When Huang Xiaoming was in danger, Yang Siwei called him.

"Master, don't be embarrassed. You've shown your attitude by taking the initiative to talk to me about The Legend of Conferred Gods. The boss is not a petty person, don't worry."

Huang Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said with a smile: "It's not difficult. I promised Mrs. Xiang that I would ask to reduce the number of appearances due to "schedule conflicts."

"Besides, there is no such thing as an aunt or uncle as a godfather!"

Yang Siwei secretly praised Huang Xiaoming for his clarity of mind, no wonder he was so popular in the entertainment industry.

At least the Xiang family wasn't so stupid as to start an arm wrestling match with Li Chen on Weibo.

"Hubby, it looks like we have to find a strong partner in the mainland. You don't seem to have confidence in Huayi."

Xiang Huaqiong did not deny that he indeed had no confidence in Huayi.

Today, Huayi is like an old man, and its stock price is falling every day.

However, Berna and Guangxian are the two companies with great potential.

Now that Guangguang and Rongchen Pictures have joined forces, there is only one partner left.

"Let someone contact Yu Dong. I don't believe he won't be tempted by the 3 million yuan project."

There are always some people in the Hong Kong circle who are like that yellow dog. They have yellow skin, but they don’t have a red heart like the sun.

Southern Weekend report
"Recently, Du Wen fired at mainland netizens on Facebook, saying that some mainland netizens are self-righteous and incompetent, and that some mainland netizens are barbaric."

"Recently, he challenged netizens born in the 90s, saying, 'If you have the ability, stop me from coming to the mainland.' In response, netizens started a topic on Weibo called 'Stop Du Wenze from coming to the mainland.'"

"On March 3, a Weibo user with the verified name "Chen Lizhi, President of Matt Culture Media" also joined the boycott of Du Wenze through Sina Weibo."

"He said: "I will never use Du Wenzhe in the movies I invest in and produce. The company I control will never participate in any project with Du Wenzhe involved."

"After the Weibo post was exposed, netizens expressed their support and strongly demanded that Rongchen Films, as the leader of the mainland film and television industry, should also set an example and express a boycott of Du Wenze like Matt Culture."

There is a strong call online for “let’s all boycott Du Wenzhe together.”

Many netizens even started a long queue under the official Weibo accounts of Li Chen, Liu Yifei and Rongchen Pictures.

Li Chen had to come out and respond.

In fact, in Li Chen's opinion, there is no need for Rongchen Pictures to be as high-profile as Chen Lizhi.

Everyone in the circle knows who Li Chen is.

What is there to say? He has always been practicing what he preaches and has never used these people. Isn't this a boycott?

Li Chen called Yang Siwei.

The next day, Rongchen Pictures’ official Weibo account posted a message: “People with different ideals cannot work together. Rongchen and I have not cooperated for ten years, and this will also be the case in the future.” Attached picture: Rongchen Pictures’ panda swinging on a swing logo.

Within an hour of this Weibo post being published, it received over 100,000 likes and over 10,000 comments.

Especially the last four words: the same will be true in the future.

It is almost equivalent to a direct ban, leaving no room for maneuver.

Liu Yifei, Yang Siwei and other artists and partners of Rongchen all liked the post, but no one commented, allowing public opinion to ferment on its own with the comments of netizens.

There is no good thing about being arrogant. It seems that this idiot has forgotten that this Brother Chen from the mainland doesn't even take his elder brother Han Chen seriously.

The person involved probably has completely forgotten the scene at the Academy Awards that year.

Not only did he not know how to restrain himself, he also publicly released the profile pictures of many mainland netizens born in the 90s, further angering the "anti-Ze" people.

Someone even set fire to his wife Tian Ruini.

A reporter called Du Wenzhe, who always had the word "brave" in his heart, and joked: "Don't worry! I have 60 followers, which proves that more than 50 people support me!"

Tian Ruini came home from TVB that night and saw Du Wenze drunk and crazy: "He thinks that if people call him Brother Chen, he is the big brother! You idiot! If you dare, challenge me!"

"What's wrong with you!" Tian Ruini's face looked unhappy.

Today she received a notice from the station asking her to go home and wait for further notice.

After some inquiries, she found out that the three mainland video platforms and Rongchen Pictures had teamed up to put pressure on TVB and would not introduce scenes with Tian Ruini's role into the mainland.

If this had happened ten years ago, TVB would not have ignored these four companies, even if she was not the leading actress.

But now Rongchen Pictures is a major copyright client of TVB, and the three video platforms cannot afford to offend it.

She doesn't even know why her husband is suffering.

As Du Wen was cursing, he suddenly burst into tears, like the howling of a monkey in Bashan Mountain, which scared Tian Ruini.

I almost lost my job, but I didn't cry. You should cry for your mother.

After a long time, seeing that his wife did not come to comfort him, Du Wen stopped crying and said with a bitter face: "Ying Huang also took away my supervisor position of "Child Prostitute"
