Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 743: No. in Ratings
The day after the premiere of "Lost in Thailand", Ma Yun called.

"Dear" was invested by Alibaba. Ma Yun's meaning was to give more consideration to the appearance of others. For the sake of his teacher Ma's face, the incident at the premiere of "Lost in Thailand" was just a small episode and it was over.

After hanging up the phone, Ma Yun called Xiao Yanzi again: "You too, why bother him for no reason!"

Xiaoyanzi didn't care at all and said cheerfully: "He is Li Yunlong? Even if he is, I am not Xie Baoqing! Teacher Ma, I have come to see you, and even if I bow and kowtow, you still won't take me seriously."

"In that case, we can just keep our distance and go our separate ways!"

Ma Yun had nothing to say. Both of them were considered leaders in the film and television industry. One was his partner and the other was his good friend.

As long as the two of them don't fight, he is too lazy to say anything else.

After Ma Yun finished calling Li Chen, Han Saping called again.

Qin Hong from Xingmei found him, and Han Saping found Li Chen.

Finally, even the Beijing Film Academy sent a message through Teacher Tian: We are all alumni, don’t let outsiders laugh at you.

Li Chen was left in a state of confusion. He hadn't done anything yet, so why were some people showing off their cowardice?

"Look, you have a bad reputation now. Even Director Han asked you to keep a low profile." Liu Yifei tried on the dress sent by the brand and teased her husband.

Right after the National Day, the Golden Eagle Awards will be held, and Liu Yifei takes it very seriously.

In her husband’s words, there is no doubt that “Knowing Your Destiny” will win the ratings championship this year.

Neither the recently concluded "Swords of Legends" nor Sun Li's "Hot Mom" ​​can pose a threat to "Knowing Your Destiny".

How dare the ratings champion not be crowned queen?

Listen, these are her husband's bold words.

The Golden Eagle Awards is like Rongchen’s annual meeting.

On September 9, "Dear" was first released, and the box office of 25 million on the first day was pretty satisfactory.

It earned nearly 70 million in three days, becoming the box office champion of the week, and received rave reviews.

It is said to be the most touching film of 2014.

On the last day of the month, "Lost in Thailand" was released.

"Vientiane Island" and "Knife of the Assassin" were also taken off the shelves. The two dramas took in 41.2 billion and 11.3 billion respectively, with a total of 52.5 billion.

Based on this number, which cinema chain dares to challenge Rongchen?

On the first day of National Day, Xiaoyanzi's provocation at the premiere of "Lost in Thailand" became a laughing stock.

Sina Entertainment News

"Lost in Thailand grossed 1.5 million yuan on its first day, crushing Dear! Netizens collectively made a joke: The little swallow couldn't fly even after flapping its wings twice."

"The first day results of the National Day box office war are out: "Lost in Thailand" directed by Ning Hao and produced by Rongchen Pictures topped the list with a box office of 1.5 million yuan."

"And Chen Kexin's work "Dear" in the same period only received 3300 million, less than a fraction of the former."

"What's even more dramatic is that Xiaoyanzi had previously teased Li Chen at the premiere of "Lost in Thailand" that he was "afraid of losing too badly at the box office." Now netizens have mercilessly retorted: "It turns out that she should be afraid of herself!"

"The audience of "Dear" left crying, while the audience of "Heart Flower" laughed until they crowed: What kind of emotion does National Day need? Xiaoyanzi's tears are not as valuable as Huang Bo's wrinkles!"

Even without Li Chen coming out, netizens have already clearly taken a stand.

"Little Leo and Little Swallow, do I need to choose? Just because you have invested in Alibaba Pictures, you think you are the female version of Buffett? Rongchen hasn't even gone public, so even if Buffett himself came, there would be nothing he could do!"

"In the face of absolute capital, Little Swallow is nothing but a sparrow."

"The latest survival guide for the National Day holiday: 1. Don't release it in the same schedule as Li Chen's film; 2. Don't provoke Liu Yifei's husband; 3. Don't let Huang Bo and Xu Zheng get together; 4. Xiaoyanzi has committed all three of the above mistakes."

On the first day of National Day, compared with Xiaoyanzi's gloomy face, Singapore's Mou Girl was much more high-spirited. The Golden Horse Awards announced the nomination list on this day.

Gong Li was nominated for the Golden Horse Best Actress for "Coming Home" without any suspense.

Southern Weekend report
"According to Taiwanese media reports, Gong Li recently appeared in Paris as the global spokesperson for Piaget. She has just been nominated for the Best Actress at the Golden Horse Awards for Coming Home, and will compete with Gui Lunmei, Chen Xiangqi, Xiaoyanzi, and Tang Wei for the Best Actress award."

"Gongli said in an interview with the media that she would go to Taiwan to attend the ceremony. When asked if she was confident of winning the award, she replied domineeringly: "I am confident! I have never participated in it, and I am looking forward to it."

Zhang Yimou and his old lover seem to have a tacit understanding. Although they are thousands of miles apart, they both revealed one thing during the interview, which is that they are against plastic surgery.

Lao Mouzi said that plastic surgery was unfair to his parents, while his ex-lover said that she advocates natural beauty.

"If you ask me, I haven't felt she is that beautiful since 'A Chinese Odyssey: Part One'." Li Chen accompanied his wife to Changsha on the first day after the National Day holiday.

During the seven days of the National Day holiday, "Lost in Thailand" grossed 7 million yuan in seven days, and it is no surprise that it will exceed 8.5 billion yuan.

At this point, all domestic films with a box office of over 10 billion are related to Rong Chen, and Rong Chen’s position is even more difficult to shake.

Liu Yifei held her husband's arm, and both of them were dressed in low-key casual clothes.

This was the first time the two came to Changsha together. Even though Liu Yifei was fully armed, Li Chen also wore a mask.

But Liu Yifei's figure and physical features are hard to see unless you wear a space suit.

Otherwise, as Li Chen said, your iconic oval face will be more obvious with a mask on.

Coupled with his 1.71-meter height, he becomes the focus wherever he goes.

"Then who do you think is beautiful?" Liu Yifei smiled. She particularly enjoyed the feeling of walking on the street with her husband.

"I think the people around me are the most beautiful. Don't tell me that it's rare to see a Chinese opera in 200 years, or that the Japanese media say it only happens once in 4000 years. Where does my wife fit in?"

Liu Yifei chuckled and leaned close to Li Chen's ear and said, "Do you know what I like most about you?"

"Of course I know!"

"You know? Tell me about it?"

"You like the 'I only like you' part the most, don't you?"

Liu Yifei thought that her husband was right to say that. Just as she was about to tease him, she saw her husband hug her shoulders tightly and said in an unchanged tone: "We are being followed, Xixi."

"Ah?" Liu Yifei looked back slightly and saw that there was indeed someone following them.

Liu Yifei said depressedly: "It's only been a while."

Li Chen said with a smile: "There's nothing I can do. You look like a giant panda. How can you not stand out in the crowd?"

"Hate it, you are the panda!"

Li Chen laughed loudly, hugged his wife and quickened his pace. The two of them dodged and moved all the way. Liu Yifei wanted to use the Lingbo Weibu, and finally got rid of the person who was following them.

How could the two of them hide their sweet appearance on the streets of Changsha from others? Passersby had already posted their backs online.

"Changsha, October 2014, 10: This afternoon, some netizens ran into Li Chen and Liu Yifei at Changsha May Day Square. The two were wearing casual clothes and shopping in a low-key manner, which instantly triggered the hot search of 'Li Chen and Liu Yifei on the streets of Changsha'."

"It is reported that Liu Yifei was nominated for the Best Actress at this year's Golden Eagle Awards for her performance in Do You Know? It Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin, and Li Chen, the chairman of Rongchen Pictures, accompanied her in a rare appearance."

There are many Reuters photos of the two on Weibo, including "holding hands and walking in the snack street", Liu Yifei holding a cup of tea and Li Chen helping her to wipe the corner of her mouth with a tissue, and the domineering boss instantly turning into a personal assistant in a loving photo.

Sharp-eyed fans also noticed that Li Chen was wearing a Cartier bracelet endorsed by Liu Yifei on his wrist.

The number of reposts of the GIF exceeded 10 in just one hour.

There are also photos of buying stinky tofu at a roadside stall, and even the scene of Liu Yifei taking off her mask and frowning while trying the food was captured.

The stall owner was interviewed and said frankly: "That girl is whiter than on TV. I recognized her as Liu Yifei when she took off her mask." In the president's office of Yi Xin Media, Yang Siwei felt helpless and amused when he saw the hot searches about his boss and his wife online.

The media called Yi Xin Media for verification.

"Just show some information to the media. It's not a big deal."

The assistant nodded and smiled, "Okay, Mr. Yang."

Soon, a Rongchen staff member revealed: "The eyes of netizens are sharp."

This confirms the news that the two of them went on a one-day trip to Changsha.

Netizens were eating dog food and were very enthusiastic.

"The Changsha Culture and Tourism Bureau should give money to Chen Fei and his wife! A Reuters photo is more effective than a tourism advertisement. Picture: the number of views of the official promotional video vs. the number of views of the Reuters video."

"Li Chen: I am accompanying my wife to compete; Sun Li: Mr. Li, is it too late to withdraw from the competition now? Brother Chao called me and said there is an emergency at home."

"It turns out that the reality of domineering president literature is that the film and television tycoon accompanies his wife to eat stinky tofu."

"Got it. I'll go to the streets of Changsha and wait for the opportunity! Excuse me, Mr. Li, is there any need for a mouth-wiping assistant?"

Liu Yifei was very happy to see this and replied to this netizen using Rongchen’s official Weibo account: The recruitment is full and only Liu Yifei is available.

Li Chen was speechless: "You are so boring!"

Liu Yifei said dissatisfiedly: "I'm bored? Look at the stinky tofu shop we ate at. As soon as we left, they put up a sign that said 'Liu Yifei Certified' in the afternoon!"

Li Chen was surprised and said, "Is this true? It's so exaggerated!"

"Really? Look for yourself. It's more than just stinky tofu."

Liu Yifei handed the iPad to her husband and Li Chen took a look at it.

Wow, the two people's one-day footprint caused the sales of the cup of "Orchid Latte" bought by Liu Yifei to increase by 300% in half a day, and the same T-shirts of the two people were sold out on the entire network within a day.

Even the Municipal Supervision Bureau intervened in the matter of the "Liu Yifei Certified" sign and ordered it to be removed immediately.

As soon as Deng Chao and his wife landed, he called Liu Yifei.

In addition to Deng Chao, He Jiong and the leaders of Mango TV also called Li Chen.

What it means is that when you arrive in Changsha, you naturally have to do your best to be a good host.

Mango TV can be said to have won a great victory this year. It opened the year with "The Story of Minglan" and then released "Swords of Legends" which just ended. These two blockbuster costume dramas made Mango TV completely proud.

All of this is closely related to Rongchen Pictures.

One of the actors who carried the ratings of the two dramas is the undisputed top-tier among the top-tier actors, Liu Yifei, the wife of the boss of Rongchen.

One is Yang Mi, the top star second only to Liu Yifei and a popular first-line female artist who was made famous by Rong Chen.

When Deng Chao and Sun Li arrived at the hotel, the first thing they did was to meet their former boss Li Chen.

The four of them chatted for a while in Li Chen's suite and then prepared to go to the appointment together.

In the evening, Mango TV sent He Jiong and their deputy director to entertain Li Chen. Deng Chao, a former Rongchen artist, was also invited.

On the way to the banquet, Sun Li took Liu Yifei's arm and said with a smile: "I am satisfied that "Hot Mom" ​​won the Magnolia Award. The Golden Eagle Award depends on you. Brother Chao and I are here to support you."

Liu Yifei is not like that Gong Huang, and quickly said modestly: "Before the announcement, everyone has a chance. Li Chen said that it's not only the Golden Rooster that lays double-yolked eggs, maybe the Golden Eagle will also lay double-yolked eggs. Maybe the two of us will stand on the podium together."

Sun Li leaned over and looked at Li Chen and said, "Really, Director Li?"

Before Li Chen could say anything, Deng Chao turned around and said with a smile, "Director Li said it's possible, so it's a done deal!"

Li Chen thought that Deng Chao knew him quite well.

"I didn't say that. You two are smart people. You must have known the situation long ago. You are still playing a double act with me. Only my Sissi is so naive and easy to deceive."

Deng Chao and Sun Li laughed loudly, and Liu Yifei suddenly realized: "Okay, Sister Li, you are so mean. You actually teamed up with Brother Chao to deceive me."

Sun Li hugged Liu Yifei and said affectionately, "I was just kidding. We both just heard rumors and were not sure, so we just confirmed it with Director Li."

"Seriously, Director Li, will it really lay a double yolk egg this time?" Sun Li said seriously.

Now even Liu Yifei looked at her husband with curiosity.

"Who can say for sure about this kind of thing? The selection of the best actress is not just decided by the audience. The judges and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles are also involved. But you two shouldn't have any problems. The ratings and reputation are guaranteed."

Sun Li nodded: "With your words, Director Li, I feel relieved."

-

"Xiao He, you have played an indispensable role in helping the station regain its ratings." In a private room at Changsha Yinlu Private Restaurant, Mango TV deputy station manager Zhang Huali patted He Jiong on the shoulder and praised him.

Tonight, the two of them hosted a banquet for Li Chen and Liu Yifei on behalf of Mango TV. For this purpose, He Jiong also invited Deng Chao and his wife to join them.

"Mr. Zhang, you are too polite. This is what I should do," He Jiong said modestly.

As the two were talking, they heard footsteps.

"Zhang Tai, the people should have arrived. I'll go out and take a look." He Jiong stood up and said with a smile.

Zhang Huali nodded with a smile on his face. Now Rong Chen holds two major fantasy IPs, "The Journey of Flower" and "Eternal Love".

With "Gu Jian Qi Tan" setting an example, everyone knows how sweet the fairy tale cake is.

Mango was determined to win, and Li Chen didn't like socializing, so Mango had no choice but to send him, the deputy, and the "firefighter" He Jiong.

The fact that Li Chen brought Liu Yifei along tonight is an attitude in itself.

As He Jiong came out of the private room, he saw Li Chen and his wife and Sun Li and her husband walking towards him.

Deng Chao walked beside Director Li, half a step behind him, while Sun Li and Liu Yifei were talking and laughing, looking very close.

He Jiong quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Director Li, you are so mean. You came to Changsha in advance without even telling me to call your host."

"I didn't call you because I was afraid of trouble. Even so, you were still recognized." Li Chen replied with a smile.

Deng Chao laughed: "You can't blame passers-by for their sharp eyes, Director Li."

He Jiong quickly echoed Deng Chao's words, shook hands with the three of them, and said with a smile, "Brother Chao, Niangniang, Yifei, welcome to Changsha. Let's go in and talk. Director Li, our deputy station director Zhang is already waiting for you."

Several people nodded and followed He Jiong into the private room.

As soon as Li Chen entered the private room, he saw a man in front of him who was about fifty years old and had a smiling face.

After He Jiong introduced him, several people realized that this person was Zhang Huali from Mango.

After some greetings, both sides took their seats.

Zhang Huali was the first to raise his glass and said, "Thank you Rongchen for handing over "Do You Know?" to Mango TV. Viewers wrote to say that this is the best costume drama in the past five years!"

Li Chen nodded slightly and raised his glass as well.

Deng Chao immediately laughed and said, "Better than The Legend of Zhen Huan?"

Sun Li elbowed him and glared at Deng Chao.

He Jiong laughed, and the others also laughed.
