Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 741 The King of Comedy is by their side

At this year's Bazaar Charity Night, Su was so busy that she was dizzy.

Finally, we have fulfilled our mission and invited nearly 400 celebrities from all walks of life.

But the most important couple, Li Chen and Liu Yifei, were not invited.

Not only that, the artists from Rong Chen’s group also seemed to have discussed it in advance, saying only that their schedules could not be adjusted, but the donations would not be delayed.

To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Su Mang didn’t know why the couple didn’t participate in this Bazaar Night.

But he knew that the problem must be with Director Li.

People outside say that Director Li is dominated by his wife, but those who know him well know that Yifei has the final say on small matters, and Yifei will never contradict Director Li on big matters.

Now that Zhou Xingchi's incident happened, Su Mang knew that it would be even more difficult to invite Li Chen and his wife.

Because the Xiang family will also appear at the Bazaar Charity Night.

But no matter how difficult it is, she has to try again, otherwise she doesn't know how the media will talk about this year's Bazaar.

How can I explain why I don't see any artists or family members from Rongchen's group?
If you don’t know, you might think that there is a disagreement between Fashion Group and Rongchen Pictures.

This time she took the initiative to visit and brought her good friend Zhang Ziyi along.

"Even if Mr. Li and Yifei didn't come, no one would dare to say anything." On the way here, Zhang Ziyi sighed to her best friend who was driving.

Su Mang nodded and smiled, "That's right. Not to mention how much Rong Chen has donated over the years, just based on Director Li's current power, I'm afraid that as soon as a smearing post comes out, it will be drowned by the saliva of netizens."

Zhang Ziyi did not mention Liu Yifei, only Li Chen.

Su Mang knew what she was thinking.

Charity, she, Zhang Ziyi, must be active, otherwise the triple door might be uncovered again one day.

These stars, including the best friend next to her, are very active in doing charity, but how many of them are really good people?
But she couldn't find any fault with what Yifei had donated and done over the years.

Although she married Director Li, he always agreed to any request as long as he had time, except this time. She didn't know what the problem was.

-

In the evening, a black Mercedes slowly drove into Li Chen's villa.

Su Mang was wearing a Chanel suit, while Zhang Ziyi beside him was wearing sunglasses and pursed her red lips.

The two of them were holding carefully prepared gifts: a bottle of 82 Lafite and a set of Hermès scarves.

The butler respectfully led the two into the reception room, where Li Chen was sitting on the sofa reading the financial report.

Liu Yifei, wearing a plain white dress, came forward with a smile: "Sister Su Mang, Sister Ziyi, we are rare guests, please come in."

Li Chen also stood up and shook hands with the two of them and exchanged a few words.

"Mr. Li, Yifei, sorry to bother you." Su Mang smiled brightly.

"Director Li." Zhang Ziyi had a humble look on her face, completely lacking the arrogance of an international Zhang.

Although this person never gave her any resources, she couldn't blame others. She had actively rejected "The Invisible Guest" because she was involved in a negative scandal. Now she thinks it was really stupid.

But they really helped mainland filmmakers to vent their anger, which made her very happy.

I had to follow Su Mang today, but it wasn’t for the charity Bazaar Night at all.

I just came here to admit my mistake and express my stance.

As long as it is Rong Chen's project, she will accept any movie or TV series as long as she is the female lead.

She is so jealous of these young actors nowadays. After filming a TV series, they can earn nine red suns in their pockets.

She became a beggar because of her international status.

"Please come in, let's eat first. The sky is big and the earth is big, but my stomach is the biggest." Li Chen stepped aside and invited the two to sit down.

Su Mang and Zhang Ziyi were completely captivated by Li Chen's aura, and whatever Li Chen said was what they believed.

Liu Yifei secretly laughed at what she saw. If outsiders saw the arrogant Zhang in this state, they would probably not recognize him.

However, it seems that even when Hua Ge visits her husband to talk, she no longer has the ease and freedom she used to have.

As soon as Su Mang and Zhang Ziyi sat down at the table, they were dumbfounded.

Several waiters were working in an orderly manner, and every dish served was not simple.

Truffle foie gras, steamed grouper, a bottle of Moutai and red wine. Suddenly, a sentence popped up in Zhang Ziyi's mind: Don't refuse a toast or drink the penalty wine.

Liu Yifei kept trying to find topics for the two of them but she didn't mention the Charity Bazaar Night, and Li Chen rarely interrupted.

Zhang Ziyi took a sip of red wine and said, "Yifei, your blue and white porcelain tableware is so beautiful. It looks like an antique."

Liu Yifei smiled slightly: "It's from the Ming Dynasty official kiln. Li Chen bought it at an auction house last year. He said it was worthy of a good dish."

Zhang Ziyi nodded quickly and smiled: "It has to be worthy of your and Director Li's status."

Zhang Ziyi didn't know how to start the conversation, but Su Mang had been holding it in all night. If he didn't say it, he would be sent away.

"Mr. Li, we have prepared a special segment for this year's Bazaar Charity Night, and we would like to invite Yifei to be the finale." Su Mang smiled, glanced at Liu Yifei opposite him, and turned to look at Li Chen.

Li Chen picked up a piece of food with chopsticks but didn't respond to her.

"Boss Su, eat more of this fish. It's just flown in from the South China Sea. It's very fresh."

Su Mang's expression froze, but Liu Yifei pretended not to notice.

Zhang Ziyi saw this and quickly smiled to smooth things over: "It's really fresh! By the way, Yifei, when will the filming of The Journey of Flower start? If there is a suitable ancient costume script next time, I can also consider it."

Liu Yifei was slightly stunned, as if she didn't hear clearly, and thought to herself, don't she and Gongli not act in TV dramas?
Still want to act in period costumes? You are almost 40 years old, you don't want to act in period costumes, do you?
Li Chen was not surprised at all. Isn't the Princess Shangyang played by Zhang Ziyi just an old-fashioned girl pretending to be young and disgusting?
Su Mang didn't want to give up yet, so she took out two gold-stamped invitations from her bag and gently pushed them towards Li Chen: "Mr. Li, these are the VIP seats for the charity night. We have reserved seats for you and Yifei."

Li Chen looked up but didn't reach out to touch it. He just picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said with a smile, "Boss Su, the tea is cold. I'll ask someone to change it."

Su Mang sighed inwardly, knowing that this matter was hopeless.

Liu Yifei was not as cunning as her husband, so she quickly stood up and said softly, "Sister Su Mang, Sister Ziyi, Li Chen has just collected a few calligraphy and paintings. Do you want to go to the study to take a look?"

Zhang Ziyi immediately smiled and took her arm: "Great, I'd love to be able to visit Director Li's collection."

Seeing that Li Chen remained unmoved, Su Mang could only laugh dryly and quietly put the invitation letter back into his bag.

When the two left the Li family villa, Liu Yifei personally sent them out.

Su Mang couldn't help but say, "Yifei, why is Director Li unwilling to participate this time? Even if you want me to die, let me die knowingly."

Liu Yifei also looked embarrassed: "When he gets stubborn, no one can help him. When I asked him, he just said that he would devote all his heart to making the script of La La Land perfect and he would not participate in any activities in the near future."

This reason may fool ghosts, even Liu Yifei herself doesn't believe it.

But since her husband didn't say anything, there was nothing she could do.

In fact, the reason why Li Chen didn't want to participate in this session was very simple: just look at who was coming.

Look at those people on the promotional posters.

Let’s not talk about Chenglong. If a son is not well educated, it is the father’s fault.

Zhang Ziyi, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng, Yao Chen, and Fan Bingbing are all villains.

Su Mang and Zhang Ziyi said goodbye to Liu Yifei. As soon as they got in the car, Zhang Ziyi said, "As soon as I saw the table of food and the two bottles of wine, I knew the result."

Su Mang smiled bitterly: "I don't know how this year's Bazaar will be, alas."

The two were speechless for a while. After this dinner tonight, Su Mang was completely sober. The so-called fashion circle was nothing more than ripples in a teacup in front of absolute capital.

She didn't even dare to use any tricks or eye drops on the other party.

Liu Yifei returned to the living room and sat next to her husband: "You are too harsh in your words. At least give him some face."

Li Chen said with a smile: "Dragons don't associate with snakes. It's not that I don't give them face, but their face is worthless."

"You are a dragon, then what am I?" Liu Yifei said with a smile. She was her husband's bedside companion, and she also felt that her husband's aura had become more and more fierce in the past year or two, and she sometimes couldn't resist it.

"Of course you are Xiao Longnu." Li Chen gently pinched his wife's chin and leaned forward to give her a deep kiss.

Liu Yifei patted her husband a few times and gave up.
-

The melons in September are blooming one after another, making it hard for people to keep up.

Before the Bazaar show even started, something happened to one of the heroines on the poster.

Before the Bald King came out of the detention center, the flower of evil quietly blossomed.

Back then, everyone thought that Hong Shixian was a scumbag, and this became even more so after what happened with Liu Yiyang.

As a result, justice may be late, but it will never be absent.

Someone broke the news that Flower of Evil was off the rails, and Hong Shixian was scolded and became a hot topic. Everyone thought that Hong Shixian was whitewashing himself.

Finally, Hong Shixian stopped being silent.

"Thank you to those friends who knew the truth but chose to remain silent; thank you to those who are willing to stand up because they care about our experience."

"Thank you, Guo Furong, and every life passer-by whom I once hated. But now I would rather believe that everyone's life will eventually become bright after falling into darkness."

"Yesterday, there was no escape; today, there is no judgment."

"That's all. Thanks for watching."

Liu Dehua came again, and this time he brought a generous gift.

Li Chen and Liu Yifei were both there, but Liu Yifei was very tactful. She chatted for a few words before getting up and taking her son outside to play.

She is busy filming on weekdays, so she cherishes the family time and avoids social events whenever possible.

Liu Dehua explained his intention, and it turned out that the other party was afraid that he would release a box office monster like "Vientiane Island" when "Legend of the Gods" was released, which would suppress "Legend of the Gods".
Or use some tricks to turn "Legend of the Gods" into "Tiny Times 2"!
Li Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Hua, I'm not that stingy."

“Besides, although Li Lianjie was hired to produce The Legend of the Gods, this is not 2002.”

"There are so many things blooming in China now. Even if you bring Hero here, the box office won't be that good!"

Li Chen was amused. Does he need to do anything for this "Legend of the Gods"? He just didn't do anything. This play was a failure.

After all, you are just wearing the skin of a god, but in reality you are the legendary Lei Zhenzi.

A dozen years ago, it would not be a problem to invite Li Lianjie to help your son gain fame and make money, even if it was not Li Lianjie's action movie.

But over the years, Li Lianjie's reputation has become almost the same as that of his godson.

After seeing Liu Dehua off, Li Chen also joined the parent-child time group.

Xiao Wuxia was sweating while playing on the grass. Li Chen and Liu Yifei were sitting under a parasol, and the family was having a great time.

"Brother Hua is gone?"

"Ah."

"Is this matter completely resolved?" Liu Yifei said naively.

Li Chen nodded and smiled: "It's just a temporary solution, not a permanent one."

"What do you mean?" Liu Yifei raised her eyes and asked.

"What do you mean? On the surface, it seems to be a personal grudge between that family and Zhou Xingchi, but in fact, it's just that Zhou Xingchi cut off their source of income."

"Without the King of Comedy, China Xing is completely ruined. Zhou Xingchi is as important to China Xing as Feng Xiaogang is to Huayi."

Liu Yifei nodded, looking suddenly enlightened, but she didn't think too much about it.

"Isn't this a dead end?"

"That's right. In fact, there is no need for this couple to keep an eye on Zhou Xingchi. The King of Comedy has always been by their side!"

Liu Yifei was stunned and said woodenly: "Around them? Who is it?"

Liu Yifei really couldn't remember there being such a person around the couple.

"Lei Zhenzi!"

"Him? Isn't he an action actor? How can he be the king of comedy?"

Li Chen smiled meaningfully, but his wife Liu Yifei was even more confused.

It was not until ten years later that she finally understood the meaning of her husband's "King of Comedy".

-

In order to help his beloved wife, Li Chen specially called Chen Kexin to the villa, and together they tried their best to make the script and casting of "La La Land" perfect.

Casting director Li Chen completely gave up on auditions and just invited everyone.

Chen Kexin understood what Li Chen meant and summed it up in one sentence.

Regardless of the box office or word of mouth, this movie has only one requirement, which is that Liu Yifei must win many awards.

Chen Kexin watched it very seriously. In fact, he felt that there was no need for anyone to give any opinions because Li Chen's script was impeccable.

The story is set in Shanghai. The heroine Liu Yifei is a modern dancer who is facing the conflict between traditional dance and contemporary aesthetics.

The male lead is a jazz pianist, played by Li Chen himself.

Dance troupe instructor: Hui Yinghong, strict and authoritative, symbolizing traditional constraints.

Band manager: Wang Yanhui, a shrewd and mercenary man who pushes the male lead to compromise.

The heroine's mother: Liu Xiaoli, gentle but realistic, implying family pressure.

Producer Li Chen invited the King of Sunglasses to strive to create the retro aesthetic of In the Mood for Love.

The photography was also done by Sunglasses King's exclusive photographer Du Kefeng, who is good at using highly saturated tones and shadow contrasts to more easily highlight the sense of separation between dreams and reality.

There is no need to find outsiders for the music, as Li Chen already has a song he likes in mind.

"Director Li, you are really for Yifei..." Chen Kexin didn't know what to say.

The cast of this drama, except for the supporting roles, can be said to be the best in Asia or even the world in every position.

In particular, Li Chen's script and music have been verified by Hollywood and the Grammy Awards.

The sunglasses of Sunglass King are also unique in the world.

He, Chen Kexin, is the best director in Asia who specializes in making musicals.

Li Chen laughed loudly, hugged his wife and said, "This is just what I should do. If it weren't for helping Miss Liu realize her dream, I would have retired long ago to enjoy a peaceful life."

Chen Kexin also laughed out loud. Liu Yifei's face turned rosy. Her eyes were full of her husband's shadow and her heart was filled with happiness.
