Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 740: Li's Three Consecutive Attacks

Wherever Li Chen is, he will definitely be on the headlines and be on the hot searches.

The beauty pageant hasn't even started yet, but it's already become a hot topic.

Since the "anti-Zhou" movement began, the ubiquitous media has not been able to target the producer of "The Mermaid".

But everyone knows that Leo will not remain indifferent, especially when it comes to The Mermaid, which is of great interest to him.
"Mr. Li, you came here today just for this sentence!" Li Chen glanced at the person who spoke.

He seems to be a reporter from that notorious weekly magazine in Hong Kong Island. No wonder his tone is so unfriendly.

However, Zhou Xingchi has always had a mediocre reputation in the Hong Kong media circles.

Li Chen glanced at the reporter and said, "Of course not! Recently many friends have been asking me what I think of this matter, and some clowns are even clamoring to ban Director Zhou."

Many media at the scene laughed. Song Zu was dealt with by this guy in the past, but he still didn't learn his lesson. He recently starred in a movie called "Lost in Australia". His Weibo account was blocked, but he still didn't stop.

"I came here today for you, so that you won't keep nagging me."

The media burst into laughter. Indeed, they had a hard time finding Li Chen.

The company was waiting in wait, bombarded with phone calls, or with routine questions about looking for relatives and friends. Even Liu Yifei didn't attend any events in the past few days.

“I will talk about three things today.”

The media all pricked up their ears, the spotlights clicked, and Zhou Xingchi looked embarrassed. He knew in his heart that with this person coming today, there would be no room for negotiation between him and that family.

Come to think of it, it's a good idea. This problem has been going on for more than ten years. It would be best if it could be solved in one go.

"First, The Mermaid has been included in the list of key domestic films to be protected next year. I advise those who are clamoring to ban Zhou Xingchi and his films to give up on this idea."

Many mainland media outlets laughed out loud, and a few Hong Kong media outlets also had smiles on their faces.

The lady also forwarded the post in which Song Zude advised to ban Zhou Xingchi, and the interaction between the two was almost drowned by the spit of netizens.

It is said that women with long hair have little knowledge, which is somewhat true.

You asked who you couldn't work with, so you had to choose the Song Group, which already had a feud with Stephen Chow, and the East Weekly, which was boycotted by all Hong Kong artists back then.

You are either black or gray.

"What about the second one? Mr. Li?" The reporter from Guangguang was more supportive than anyone else.

"Secondly, Mr. Zhou Xingchi is an irreplaceable creator of Chinese-language films. For the Mermaid project, Yi Xin Media has guaranteed 16 billion yuan for its release!"

As soon as Li Chen said this, there was an uproar at the scene.

The media in front of them immediately went wild.

The reporters from Sina and Beijing Daily looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Boss Li, are you being impulsive? Announcing a 16 billion guarantee at this time is too risky."

"This is a slap in the face to that family!"

"Mr. Li? 16 billion, are you sure?" Hong Kong media's Apple Weekly repeated it again.

Li Chen glanced at Zhou Xingchi, who looked a little uncomfortable, and said with a smile, "I am sure and for sure."

The media at the scene burst into laughter again.

"I haven't finished talking about my second one yet."

The media became quiet again, as if they were all energized.

"As the guaranteed distributor of The Mermaid, I would like to announce the following five Hong Kong Island cinemas."

"The Center Cinema in Central, Tsim Sha Tsui Cultural Centre Cinema, Tsuen Wan Theatre, Tseung Kwan O Film Studios Cinema and Yuen Long Theatre will be excluded from the priority list of films for The Mermaid!"

"It is possible that all films produced by Rongchen Pictures will exclude these five theaters from the priority supply list in the future!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was chaos in the audience and a lot of noise.

Even Zhou Xingchi, who was beside Li Chen, muttered to himself and turned his head to look at his partner in shock.

Zhou Xingchi now finally understood what he meant by paying off the movie tickets he owed him in one go.

With a guaranteed release, Stephen Chow won’t lose money in any way.

But the issuer may not be so happy. What Li Chen did was a crazy move that hurt the enemy by 800 and his own by 1,600.

Although the box office of these five cinemas may not be that high, everyone knows who is behind these five cinemas.

Especially Li Chen’s last sentence, it is not ruled out that Rongchen Pictures will also operate in the same way in the future.

The destructive power is too great.

No matter which cinema or theater chain, if Rongchen does not provide films, it is no different from waiting to die.

In his previous life, Zhang Weiping dared to threaten the eight major cinema chains by holding Zhang Yimou in his hands. Now, Li Chen can almost easily control the eight major cinema chains with Rongchen Pictures.

No one can accept the consequences of Rongchen Pictures not supplying films.

The same goes for that family, even if you are wealthy, unless you close the business immediately.

Zhou Xingchi pursed his lips twice: "Director Li."

Li Chen shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't need to say more.

The first two points are so exciting, I don’t know what the third point will be.

"third."

When Li Chen mentioned the third number, the scene seemed to be frozen.

"Earlier, Rongchen Pictures has officially announced the first animated film of the Investiture of the Gods Universe, Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World. Today, I have another announcement."

"Rongchen Pictures will spend five years to create the trilogy of The Investiture of the Gods, The Storm of Chaoge, The War in Xiqi, and The World of the Gods. The cost of each film will not be less than 5 million, and all special effects will be produced by Zhizhen Painting Art alone."

The scene was completely climaxed. This trilogy of Fengshen was obviously aimed at "The Legend of Fengshen".

You invested 3 million in "Legend of the Gods", I invested 5 million in one movie, and at least 15 billion in three movies.
-

Li Chen's three-hit combo was like a live broadcast, and each one of them was on the hot search list on Weibo: Explosive, explosive, explosive.

The comment section of that lady’s Weibo was immediately overwhelmed.

If Zhou Xingchi’s fans are called water army, then Li Chen’s fans are almost like heavenly soldiers.

In less than half an hour, the lady closed the comment section.

Netizens enjoyed watching the fun and laughed their heads off.

"Little Leo stood up for Zhou Xingchi before the ten-day deadline, but it was a mess all of a sudden."

"Fat Lady: I ​​just cursed at someone, do you think you must kill me?"

"Leo's revenge is more cruel than Stephen Chow's jokes!"

“I suggest that “Legend of the Gods” be renamed “Hush Money”, after all, the five academies are going to be closed this time.”

"Li Chen's move: the first step is to cut off your food supply, the second step is to take your job, and the third step is to watch you starve to death."

"Hong Kong filmmakers used to call Xiang Sheng 'big brother', but now they have to queue up to call him 'Li Chen's little brother'."

Compared to the netizens who were laughing at the joke, the major media outlets were the only ones who could do more.

"Financial Weekly": Li Chen's capital encirclement and suppression, 60% of the box office of Xiang's Five Theaters depends on domestic blockbusters, and Rong Chen cut off the supply and directly cut off the core film source.

"Entertainment Capital Theory": 5 million versus 3 million! Li Chen's "Fengshen Trilogy" directly crushes Xiang's "Fengshen Legend", with the protection of the ultimate painting skills. Unless "Fengshen Legend" asks Industrial Light and Magic to take action, otherwise it will be a dimensionality reduction attack.

Li Chen's actions made some people extremely anxious.

Calls came to Li Chen one after another.

But Li Chen didn't answer any of them.

The fat lady was furious and posted a Weibo post: Some people rely on their capital monopoly to bully veteran filmmakers! But within half an hour, she deleted it.

No one expected things to come to this point.

Not to mention that family, even Zhou Xingchi was in a state of confusion.

I was in a trance throughout the entire beauty pageant.

Li Chen left early, Ying Huang and Media Asia remained silent, and Hong Kong filmmakers were also silent.

"Times have changed. In today's world, my words don't count, and neither does his." Boss Yang of Yinghuang sighed to Huo Wenxi beside him.

Huo Wenxi stood behind the boss, not knowing what he was thinking. He knew exactly who the boss was talking about.

In Hong Kong Island, people may give you some face, but in the mainland, others only recognize "Li"!
-

Huang Xiaoming and Dabaobei, the couple, did not dare to get involved in the anti-Zhou movement from the beginning to the end.

On the one hand, he is a godfather, and on the other hand, he is a super capital father. Huang Xiaoming can't wait to escape from the earth with his big baby during this period of time.

So the two of them went traveling abroad directly.

"Director Li, you're awesome." The big baby exclaimed while scrolling through his phone.

Huang Xiaoming thought, isn’t this nonsense? If you weren’t capable, why would I bring you out to avoid trouble?

Huang Xiaoming was thinking, he didn’t know what would happen when “The Legend of the Gods” was released in the future. Maybe it would follow the same fate as “Tiny Times 2”.

Whether it can be released publicly is a question.

-

Zhang Ziyi was watching the fun so much that she wanted to blow Li Chen a kiss.

It seemed that all the humiliation that the Hong Kong circle had brought to her was washed away at this moment.

Zhang Ziyi took one look at the short-legged dog in front of her and immediately calmed down.

Although these big directors all like to ask her to film with them, none of them likes her as a person.

This is also the reason why her face is more popular abroad than in the country.

-

Li Chen returned to the villa, and Liu Yifei asked worriedly, "Is it inappropriate?"

Li Chen patted her hands and told her not to worry, because she would not have the chance to see the scene in her previous life where Zhang Weiping single-handedly took on the eight major cinema chains.

Liu Yifei's worries were obviously unnecessary. The next day, Liu Dehua was entrusted to go to the house to act as peacemaker.

Everyone knows that Liu Dehua and Li Chen have a good relationship, and no one except Liu Dehua can resolve this crisis.

Liu Yifei was not at home, only Li Chen was at home.

The servant served tea, and the two sat down as host and guest. Liu Dehua took a sip and said, "Good tea."

Li Chen smiled and said nothing: "Brother Hua, you are here today to speak for someone else, right?"

Liu Dehua nodded and smiled, "Knowing I can't hide it from you, why do I have to make such a big deal about it?"

Li Chen smiled and said, "We know that Rong Chen is the main controller of "The Mermaid". I also said yesterday that Rong Chen guaranteed 16 billion. This is not a joke. I paid Bigo real money."

"How can I let them off easy at this time when they are trying to deceive me?"

Liu Dehua knew that what Li Chen said was right. He didn't want to get involved in what happened today.

But since Xiang Sheng had already spoken, he had no choice but to go ahead.

"They asked me to tell you that everyone is at fault in this matter. Can we all take a step back now? They won't hold Zhou Xingchi accountable anymore. You should calm down too. If you really stop supplying, the Yongsheng cinemas will have to close down."

"Brother Hua, I didn't want to make a big deal out of this. I didn't say anything final yesterday. As long as they don't make trouble again, other movies will not be affected except The Mermaid. But you should also give them a message."

Liu Dehua breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Li Chen kept providing evidence, he would be able to give an explanation to Xiang Sheng.

"You tell me, I will definitely bring it to you."

Li Chen nodded: "This is just the first time, it won't happen again."

There was a disturbance, because of Li Chen's final appearance, the Hong Kong circle was completely silent.

But it makes mainland filmmakers feel complicated.

Once upon a time, Hong Kong Island was the center of Asian films.

Hong Kong filmmakers seem to have arrogance written into their bones.

But now, everyone was surprised to find that Li Chen's words were almost equivalent to those of the leader of the martial arts world, and no one dared to disobey.

The chain reaction caused by this incident was that several domestic film and television giants, including Wanda, accelerated the improvement of their production capabilities.

Otherwise, if Li Chen cuts off supply to cinema chains like Wanda, Wanda will be in big trouble.

Zhou Xingchi specially bought a generous gift and went to express his gratitude.

He had to come, because everyone knew that he was branded as Rong Chen, and there was almost no place for him in the Hong Kong circle.

But he didn't care, because Chen Kexin had switched sides anyway.

September’s explosive news comes one after another, one wave after another.

The anti-Zhou movement has not yet subsided, and the Star Girls who had previously supported Zhou Xingchi have been at the center of the storm.

But it wasn't her, but her husband, the bald king.

One dragon and two phoenixes were caught in the act.

The news on the Internet is explosive and eye-catching, such as the bald Wang Dabao health celebrity shocked, and there is a newcomer in the prison storm.

Netizens were more dissatisfied with Zhang Yuqi's speech.

"Why are you still looking for a wife when she's so beautiful?"

"My wife is so beautiful, I can't understand you!"

"It's admirable that Director Wang doesn't play by the rules. But your wife is so beautiful, what are you trying to do?"

"I'm here to persuade them to divorce! Zhang Yuqi is too wronged!"

Zhang Yuqi’s Weibo was also directly destroyed.

"Your husband has really been discovered!"

"The road of love is so tortuous. First, Xiaofei said goodbye, and then the bald man was arrested. Sigh."

"Let's get a divorce. Why are you staying with this old man?"

"You're so beautiful! What does your husband think?"

"Your husband's case once again proves that a man's infidelity has nothing to do with his own appearance, his wife's appearance, or the appearance of the person he is cheating with."

This time even the entertainment industry's disciplinary inspection committee couldn't help but complain: The director didn't use his power to take advantage of the young actress but instead went to solicit prostitution, risking being caught and ruining his career and marriage. How stupid!
Li Chen also received warnings from Tianxian fans on his Weibo.

Li Chen felt that he had suffered an unexpected disaster.

Liu Yifei laughed so hard that she bent over.

"Still laughing? I don't know him well! Have you forgotten that time when you and I were promoting "Charlotte" in Xi'an, Zhang Yuqi wanted to host a banquet for his wedding."

When this matter was mentioned, Liu Yifei also remembered it.

"Yes, you said at the beginning that you really thought that he would be your friend just because he filmed a movie called "The Lost Tomb". Did you know that this person was unreliable?" Liu Yifei sat next to her husband with a glass of orange juice.

"Here you go again. How could I have known so much in advance? Do you think everyone in the circle is qualified to be my friend? That bald king and I are not the same kind of people. If a star girl looks for an ugly guy, it will definitely not be because of love. This is true for Huang Shengyi and Zhang Yuqi." Li Chen said with a smile.
