Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 751: Maybe it’s because we both have the last name Li
Zeng Jiayi saw that the talks were about to break down, so he immediately stepped out to smooth things over.

"Director Li, the three of us were originally planning to come together today."

"Zhao Ruoyao is also in Shanghai. Although Mimi is not a major shareholder, she is the core competitiveness of our Jiaxing."

"And isn't it Mimi that you value the most?" Zeng Jia said with a smile neither humble nor arrogant.

Li Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Zeng Jia without saying anything.

In fact, as soon as Li Chen said this, Yang Mi softened.

The courage she had to say those words just now was borrowed from Fish Leong, and she returned it after she finished speaking.

She was just holding on because of her stubbornness. The pressure from Li Chen was too great, so she wanted to prove that she was also a worthy figure.

"Senior, I feel so ashamed when you say that. Even if we have to settle accounts, it will only be you and me. Without your cultivation and support over the years, I wouldn't be where I am today." Yang Mi said with a sad face, glancing at Liu Yifei with pleading eyes.

Liu Yifei felt amused and thought that Da Mimi was quite courageous. It was also the first time for her to see an artist under her husband's management dare to challenge her husband face to face.

However, Da Mimi's two partners are indeed much stronger than Tangtang and are well versed in the traffic code.

Take a look at the two films that are to be filmed in this financing plan.

One is a collaboration with Lu Han, the popular young idol who just followed Wu Yifan's example and terminated his contract with SM.

The first one is the second collaboration with Li Yifeng.

Add to that the top streamer Yang Mi, and this is exactly the traffic monetization that her husband often instilled in her.

Liu Yifei chose to ignore Yang Mi's request for help.

She was the type of person who only cared about her relatives and not others, and Yang Mi couldn't understand good or bad words, so she didn't bother to care.

"Just be clear in your mind. Rongchen will not participate in Jiaxing's financing."

"There is only one reason. Your dramas may have a high return rate, but I don't like any of the co-actors you chose."

"Besides traffic, who has acting skills? Quick money is easy to make, but reputation is hard to build. Rong Chen is not short of money, and I will not lose the reputation I have earned over the years."

"You go."

Yang Mi's face felt burning with pain, and Li Chen's words made her even more ashamed.

Zeng Jia felt ashamed when she saw that Li Chen had ordered them to leave and refused without leaving any room for negotiation. She thought that staying any longer would only bring humiliation upon herself.

Zeng Jia glanced at Yang Mi, and they both understood each other.

"Excuse me, Mr. Li." Zeng Jia stood up and said with a smile. Calling him Mr. Li was just deceiving himself. He was just trying to comfort himself and get rid of the stigma of Rong Chen's faction.

Li Chen didn't even raise his eyelids, but just nodded slightly.

Yang Mi didn't dare to be like Zeng Jia, and still called out affectionately: "Senior, let's go first. I said the wrong thing just now, please forgive me."

Seeing that Li Chen didn't even raise his head, Yang Mi quickly winked at Liu Yifei, asking her to come out with her.

Liu Yifei was helpless, secretly shook her head in her heart, and said to Li Chen beside her: "I will see them off."

Li Chen said "hmm" but didn't stand up.

After they left the set, Yang Mi and Zeng Jia were stunned by the scene before them.

The nanny car was stuck behind the mobile stage of "La La Land".

When the crew saw them coming out, they quickly came up and said with a smile, "Teacher Yang Mi, President Zeng, I'm sorry, this is the Avenue of Stars that the crew made especially for Teacher Yifei. We can't move the car until the filming is finished."

Yang Mi and Zeng Jia looked at each other, only to see that the 300-meter-long street in front of them was paved with LED lights.

"Then why don't you ask us to move the car?" Yang Mi said helplessly.

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Forget it, don't blame them. No one expected you to leave as soon as you said you would."

The staff member beside him nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, we thought you were still here this afternoon."

The few of them had no choice but to temporarily leave the car with the crew and have someone drive another one over.

While waiting for the bus, Zeng Jia and several assistants were talking about something.

Yang Mi pulled Liu Yifei aside, took out two gold-stamped invitations and stuffed them into Liu Yifei's hands, complaining: "You didn't even ask me to say a few good words for you to your husband! You really know the difference between inside and outside!"

"There will be a financing reception for Jiaxing at the end of the month on the Peninsula. You and Senior need to be free. I still hope you both can come."

Liu Yifei took the invitation and said with a smile: "Don't count on him, I'll see when the time comes."

Yang Mi chuckled: "Everyone says that the senior is henpecked, but I think the senior has deceived everyone. You are the one who follows your husband's lead!"

Liu Yifei did not refute. She glanced at Zeng Jia who was not far away, then turned back to look at Yang Mi and said, "I don't know what you think, but if it was Tangtang who came today, I think Li Chen would definitely lend a hand to her."

"You should actually understand the reason."

Yang Mi was slightly stunned: "You mean, the reason why the senior is unwilling to join Jiaxing is because..." Yang Mi turned her head to look at Zeng Jia, but didn't say the rest.

Liu Yifei had said all she wanted to say, and she stopped talking. She smiled at Yang Mi and said, "I won't wait here with you, lest the director gets mad."

Yang Mi snorted and smiled at Liu Yifei's back, "With the senior here, which director would dare to get mad at you!"

Seeing Liu Yifei enter the set, Yang Mi withdrew her gaze, thinking to herself that she was an actress, her major was acting, not management, and her pay was not low to begin with, plus there were dividends for shareholders, so she didn't think there was anything wrong.

In addition, the film and television industry is inherently volatile, and the amount of shares held is proportional to the risk.

Isn’t the dual identity of artist and shareholder the most correct personal choice for her?

Jiaxing is not Tangtang's personal studio.
-

Liu Yifei returned to the set, sat quietly next to Li Chen, and placed the two invitations given by Yang Mi on the table.

Li Chen took a look and said with a smile: "Your best friend, you always said you wanted to be a capital, but now you come to me for money. You really think capital is a fool."

“Perhaps soon, she will realize the cruelty of capital.”

Liu Yifei nodded. She thought there was nothing wrong with what her husband said.

Capital is profit-seeking. Those capitalists at the financing party have no feelings for you, Yang Mi. They all come for the money.

-

In the early morning of the next day, a thin mist rose over the Huangpu River, and the filming of "La La Land" continued. The "kiss of the century" between Li Chen and Liu Yifei needed this misty fog.

At around 4:30, the set was already surrounded by staff.

Li Chen originally wanted to clear the area, but in the end he thought better of it.

It's not a passionate scene, but it makes it seem like all the people working in the scene are green hands.

Chen Kexin smiled and said, "Director Li, let me know when you're ready."

"What are you preparing for? It's not the first time!" Li Chen replied with a smile.

Everyone at the scene burst into laughter, and all sleepiness was gone.

Liu Yifei's pretty face turned red, she glared at her husband, and then she couldn't help laughing.

The fog from the Huangpu River has already seeped into the built observatory.

Three hundred star lights dangled overhead.

Du Kefeng pointed the camera at the old piano on the set.

Li Chen's slender fingers rested on the piano keys, and the hem of Liu Yifei's red skirt was blown by the blower to form ripples.

"Action!" As soon as Chen Kexin's voice fell, a piece of jazz music sounded at the scene.

Li Chen held Liu Yifei's cheek according to the script, but suddenly stopped when he was about to touch her.

"Cut!"

Wang Jiawei stood up from behind the monitor and said sternly, "Director Li, your hands are shaking."

Everyone in the audience lowered their heads to hold back their laughter. Liu Yifei's ears turned red as she laughed unscrupulously, then muttered softly, "Who said this isn't the first time we've filmed a kissing scene?"

"Shut up!" Li Chen shouted with a dark face, and the result was predictable.

It might be useful to others, but it is useless to his lovely wife.
Chen Kexin smiled and said, "Do you need to rest for five minutes, Director Li?"

When Li Chen heard this, he quickly said, "No, go ahead."

Seeing that Li Chen had no intention of joking, everyone stopped laughing.

Li Chen took a deep breath.

"Action!"

Li Chen unbuttoned his suit and slid his left hand to the back of Liu Yifei's neck. Liu Yifei subconsciously raised her head, and when their lips finally touched, Liu Yifei's fingers unconsciously grabbed the collar of Li Chen's shirt.

"Yifei's little move is very clever." Chen Kexin whispered to Wang Jiawei in Cantonese behind the monitor.

Wang Jiawei nodded: "Yes, even breathing is beautiful."

Li Chen and Liu Yifei were completely absorbed in the whole process and even forgot they were on the set.

The kiss scene that was supposed to last 5 seconds lasted for 23 seconds.

"I'm going to faint. I have low blood sugar. This is too sweet." Liu Yifei's two assistants muttered in a corner of the set.

"Cut! Passed!" Chen Kexin laughed, and then immediately gave Li Chen a thumbs up: "Director Li!"

Liu Yifei rubbed her lower lip with the knuckles of her right hand, her eyes moving and her heart beating alarmingly fast.

Maybe it was because it was the first time they performed a real kissing scene in front of so many people.

On the other hand, her husband said something that made everyone laugh: "Director Chen! Do you want to keep one? I think I still have room for improvement!"

"Hahahaha" everyone burst into laughter.

"You wish!" Liu Yifei blushed and kicked Li Chen hard on the calf.

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Chen Kexin and Wang Jiawei nodded and smiled, "I think it's okay!"

Liu Yifei said coquettishly: "Director Chen, Director Wang, how could you do this!"

Li Chen added: "Xixi, we are actors, we have to listen to the director!"

Liu Yifei came forward and whispered harshly in Li Chen's ear: "Just wait and see who listens to whom when you get home."

Li Chen laughed and didn't take it seriously at all.

How could Yang Siwei let go of such material? He exposed it on the same day.

The hot search headlines on Weibo, #李琛刘一菲吻剧# is extremely popular.

Many netizens and fans of the girl were overwhelmed by the sweetness of the picture.

"This is simply the ceiling for married couples to do business."

"After being married for four or five years, they can still kiss like first love. Is Liu Yifei really a fairy?"

"Some top stars should learn from this. This is called 'dedicating oneself to art', not using 800 camera positions and buying trending searches!"

"I used to think it was a pity for a fairy to come down to earth and marry Li Chen, but now I suddenly think that Li Chen succeeded in cultivating immortality."

"There are three types of kissing scenes in the domestic entertainment industry: those that are used for show, real kissing, and those like Li Chen and Liu Yifei that require tax."

The kissing scene between Li Chen and Liu Yifei was leaked and quickly went viral in the circle.

Yang Mi read it no less than ten times.

"Stop looking at me. You're not Liu Yifei anymore!" Zeng Jia sat next to Yang Mi in her pajamas, holding a glass of red wine.

Yang Mi said with emotion: "Senior is really good at what he does. His kissing teaching is really better than those young actors."

Thinking about the time when she was filming "Gu Jian Qi Tan", her lips were swollen from being sucked by Li Yifeng, Yang Mi secretly sighed at her miserable life.

When filming "Palace", Feng Shaofeng was not much better than Li Yifeng. At that time, she felt like a shoe horn was stuck in her mouth and she almost passed out.

But this kind of thing is common in the circle, and there is no actress who has not suffered this kind of loss.

There is only one possibility, he looks too patriotic.

At the same time, Fan Bingbing also had a lot of feelings.

Fan Bingbing has no interest at all in facing her muscular boyfriend Stone Man who is courting her tonight.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Chen's arms were strong and powerful, he hugged Fan Bingbing and wanted to kiss her.

Fan Bingbing dodged left and right: "Nothing, just a little tired tonight."

Li Chen's face darkened: "You have always had him in your heart, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Don't think I don't know why you and Li Zhiting broke up, and why you came to me!"

"what do you mean?"

Li Chen laughed at himself: "Maybe it's because we both have the last name Li!"

"You are simply being unreasonable! Can you be more confident?" Fan Bingbing's heart tightened, and she didn't even realize that this might be the reason.

Li Chen snorted: "I have always been confident! The one who is not confident is you, Mr. Fan!"

-

Liu Yifei came back from the set in the afternoon and took a beauty sleep. When she woke up, she saw that the trending search had exploded.

Moreover, her fans have started a fight with the crazy fans of those popular young idols.

Li Chen saw his wife coming downstairs with sleepy eyes and asked with a smile, "Are you awake?"

Liu Yifei rubbed her eyes, and walked to Li Chen's side and said intimately: "Tell me, why were you nervous at the beginning of the kiss scene this morning? Later, you were not nervous anymore, and I became nervous again!"

Li Chen argued: "I wasn't nervous at first, my hands were shaking because of playing the piano! You don't really think playing the piano is the same as beating cotton!"

Liu Yifei chuckled, and recalled the scene when her husband confronted the father and son: "I never said that!"

"I said, then who am I doing this for!" Li Chen smiled as he held his wife on his lap.

Liu Yifei raised her eyes and said in a naughty way: "Who knows who you are doing this for!"

The couple was flirting when Liu Dehua called at an inopportune time.

It turned out that he received an invitation from "The Great Wall".

"Why have I never heard you mention this movie?" Liu Dehua said with a smile. It was directed by Zhang Yimou, backed by China Film Group, and co-starred by a top Hollywood actor. Liu Dehua had already nodded.

Li Chen's mind moved. Since Liu Dehua received the invitation, then Lu Han, who had just terminated her contract with SM, should have also received the invitation.

Add to that the boy whose high school entrance exam caused over 100 million discussions on Weibo, the attention this drama will probably not be much less than that of "Vientiane Island".

However, it is a dream to want to replicate the box office of "The Island of Vientiane". Although Mark Damon is also a top-tier Hollywood star, his box office appeal is far inferior to that of Leonardo DiCaprio.

"They approached me before, but I didn't take it, so Director Zhang took it." Li Chen said concisely. Liu Dehua is a smart man, and some things don't need to be made too clear.

Liu Dehua understood it immediately. He also read the script. It was a very common and clichéd story. The most speechless thing was that the two foreigners became heroes of the Chinese.

When it comes to Li Chen's situation, he doesn't like the script and it's useless to pay him any more because he is not short of money.

But the same cannot be said for Zhang Yimou. Although he was hailed as a god in the Olympics, he still had to return to the daily necessities of life after that.

Otherwise, why would people join Rongchen?
