Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 752 Who can not love such a dragon girl?

Shanghai was full of stars in late November. Yang Mi came, and Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun also came.

The duo's film "The Fortune Is Best When a Woman Acts Like a Baby" will be released in theaters nationwide on the 28th of the month, and can be considered an appetizer for this year's Lunar New Year holiday.

The most powerful movie at the box office in November was Nolan's "Interstellar", but it started on the 11th, and after two weeks of release, although the box office exceeded 12 million, the daily box office had dropped below 5 million.

It is expected to exceed 11 million by the end of November, but whether it can reach 6.5 million depends on the strength of "The Crossing", the first film to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday.

On the 2nd and 8th of next month, Huang Xiaoming will have two major dramas, "The Crossing" and "The Lost Tomb of Dragon Ridge", which will be staged during the Lunar New Year holiday.

"Brother Xun, I'm really looking forward to your smoky voice acting like a spoiled child. Just for this reason, I'll subscribe to twenty shows to support you."

Li Chen and Liu Yifei were in a single-family villa along the river. Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun were sitting opposite Li Chen and his wife.

The dining table was filled with a wide variety of delicious delicacies.

Zhou Xun felt deeply that her former boss was a man who could accomplish great things.

She had forgotten all the unpleasantness she had experienced because of her husband Gao Shengyuan even more than she did.

Zhou Xun raised his glass and laughed with Liu Yifei: "That's about right. Your husband has supported you for 20 games, so you should show some support, girl."

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "If he supports it, doesn't that mean I support it? Do we have to count them separately?"

Huang Xiaoming also smiled shamelessly and said, "I can see that Director Li's twenty shows are aimed at Brother Xun. Auntie, don't you want to celebrate?"

Li Chen and Liu Yifei shuddered at the same time.

Zhou Xun even exaggeratedly looked nauseous: "Xiaoming, you are old, can you stop pretending to be young? Calling you aunt makes my stomach churn."

Huang Xiaoming laughed and raised his glass, saying, "Come on, thank you Director Li and Yifei for your support."

Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming left at around ten o'clock. They also own properties in Shanghai.

But compared with this riverside detached villa, it is nothing.

"It is said that Director Li's net worth is at least 40 to 50 billion, but I think it's more than that," Huang Xiaoming said with a smile.

"I wouldn't be surprised if he had hundreds of billions. I heard from Siwei that when he bought the Crystal Mansion for Yifei for 2500 million US dollars, he didn't even blink an eye. It felt like he spent 2500 million US dollars just like 250 yuan!" Zhou Xun sighed whenever he thought of this.

Huang Xiaoming laughed: "I am now curious about how much Yifei is worth. I was shocked by the financing of ByteDance this year. It was tens of millions of US dollars. Yifei took it out as soon as she said it. She has the same temperament as Director Li."

Zhou Xun also laughed: "This is called learning by doing, and the husband sings and the wife follows."

This year's Lunar New Year box office can be described as a showdown between the Four Heavenly Kings.

None of Rong Chen's "Longling Mystery Cave", Bona's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", "One Step Away", which Jiang Wen claims is his best film, and "The Crossing", which is known as the Titanic of China, are easy to deal with.

Among the four plays, Wu Bin in "Longling Mystery Cave" is actually the weakest one in terms of fame.

But among the four dramas, "Longling Mystery Cave" has the least pressure, as it has the reputation and box office of "The Lost Tomb" Part 1 and Part 2.

There are many people who want to guarantee the release of "Longling Mystery Cave".

However, after Rong Chen released the news that he had recovered all the costs of "Longling Mystery Cave" by selling out the copyright and three patch advertisements, and made a net profit of 850 million US dollars.

Several issuers backed out due to the difficulty.

It was previously reported that several companies were competing for the guaranteed distribution of Jiang Wen's "One Step Away".

After all, "Let the Bullets Fly" was a big hit. Based on the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly", the industry estimates that the box office of "One Step Away" may reach 20 billion.

Sony Pictures, Yinghuang Films and Wanda Pictures are reportedly among those competing for the guaranteed win.

In his previous life, Li Chen had heard about Wanda’s 10 billion guarantee for “One Step Away”. Thinking that he and Big Brother Wang were partners, Li Chen even reminded Big Brother Wang in advance.

It turns out that the big boss Wang is not stupid, and his words left Li Chen speechless.

"Apart from Rongchen, which other company has produced movies worth over a billion nowadays? Do you think Wanda is being taken advantage of?"

After hearing this, Li Chen also laughed and thought to himself that what Boss Wang said was right.

Even in his previous life, Li Chen would not believe such news.

Don’t talk about Sicong’s criticism of "One Step Away", Sicong’s character that mocks the rich second generation Xiaofei for having a few coins in his pocket.

Even if Wanda really guaranteed 10 billion, Sicong would probably criticize it even more fiercely.

Sony will not exchange swear words with Sicong. It seems that Sony is the one that suffers the most. It is accurate to say that Sony's minimum guarantee is 10 billion.

What's more, what is a guaranteed release?

For example, Rongchen guaranteed 16 billion to release "The Mermaid", which required the signing of a public agreement, especially when it involved large sums of money like hundreds of millions.

Compared with Rongchen, Wanda is even more so as it is a listed company.

If the box office fails to meet expectations, Wanda’s financial report will definitely disclose the losses.

But obviously, this was not the case in Wanda’s previous financial reports.

Zhou Xun returned to her apartment in Shanghai and posted a Weibo that night that pushed Li Chen to the top of the trending searches.

"Some people are very qualified to be bosses @李琛Attached with the movie poster of "Sa Jiao""

Huang Xiaoming quickly commented: "Director Li is so generous! He booked 20 shows to show his support right after we met. Brother Xun, please act like a spoiled child more!"

"Xun brother is acting like a spoiled brat? Then wouldn't a 'coquettish' person like me be able to trick the senior into booking 50 shows? @Senior Li Chen, would you consider it? The picture is a still of Lin Xiao pouting in Tiny Times."

After posting on Weibo, Yang Mi sighed: "Senior, you really treat me differently! I wonder if you will treat "I Am a Witness" and "Fall in Love with You" equally when they are released!"

People are so selfish. If you have always been nice to someone, but suddenly you do something a little bit bad one day, she will think that you are a bad person!
Yang Mi didn’t know whether she deliberately ignored the uniqueness of “Tiny Times” or forgot the support her senior Li Chen had given her over the years.

Under Yang Mi, Tang Yan also followed: "I am also looking forward to Sister Xun's smoky voice acting coquettishly. I can't compete with the boss, so I will book five shows to support her!"

She also went to Shanghai to promote the TV version of "Fall in Love with You".

Zhou Xun's Weibo post quickly became a hot topic, and artists from Rong Chen's faction, from Dilraba Dilmurat to Zhao Liying, successively expressed their willingness to book theaters to support the former number one.

Netizens also joined the heated discussion
"Li Chen: Book twenty shows? No, this is a benefit for former employees."

"Rongchen artists collectively act like spoiled brats, Li Chen's wallet: in danger!"

This "coquettish storm" triggered by a Weibo post eventually topped the hot searches with Li Chen booking the entire theater, making the marketing of "Coquettish Women Have the Best Fortune" unexpectedly become the latest marketing textbook in the entertainment industry.

Zhou Xun sent a WeChat message to Li Chen that night: "Boss, spare me, this is all the fault of the film crew."

Li Chen saw it the next morning, and smiled and sent Zhou Xun a meaningful WeChat message: "Be more coquettish in the future, women who act coquettishly have the best luck!"

-

The fierce battle between dragons and tigers is about to take place on the big screen, and it will be equally exciting on the small screen.

If we count the hot topics in the circle, Yu Zheng is definitely one of them, although he may be a small fry compared to Li Chen.

But apart from top capital tycoons like Li Chen, there are really few who can compete with Yu Zheng.

A while ago, the war of words between Yu Zheng and Lin Xinru on Weibo intensified. Yu Zheng revealed in a program that he made a Taiwanese actress famous, and some netizens speculated that he was referring to Lin Xinru.

Can anyone who has been crushed by Madam Rong be a good person?

When Lin Xinru was interviewed, she immediately retorted that if she was a man, she should speak clearly.

Yu Zheng doesn't even take Cai Yinong seriously, so how could he be afraid of an outdated Ziwei?

He then quoted the famous words of Concubine Hua in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" produced by Rongchen and retorted: Bitches are just pretentious.

The two sides are arguing fiercely, and the matter has not yet come to an end.

The lawsuit filed by Qiong Yao against Yu Zheng has begun, but the result has not yet been announced.

Yu Zheng's version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is about to make another stunning debut.

If Li Chen didn't know who Yu Zheng was, he would have suspected that Yu Zheng had a grudge against his wife.

Don't be so rude to Xiao Long Nu.

Yu Zheng's version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has been controversial from casting to filming. He is different from the bearded man.

Back then, the bearded man chose his wife to play the role of Little Dragon Girl. When she appeared in the fluttering white dress, all those who had previously been pessimistic about his wife fell silent.

Yu Zheng's version is just the opposite. The enthusiasm of netizens, fans of Jin Yong's original novel, and his wife's fans have all been ignited by this guy.

The trailers released in the past few days are even more shocking.

"Do you think this girl would be better in playing the role of a silly girl?" Li Chen and Liu Yifei returned to the riverside villa from the set. After having dinner with the mother-in-law, the couple sat together as a family to watch TV for entertainment.

Looking at the Little Dragon Girl on the big screen, Li Chen almost mistook her for Yu Haoming.

Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli both laughed when they heard Li Chen's words.

Liu Xiaoli was better, after all, she was the elder. Liu Yifei laughed so hard that she bent over.

"How could you be so mean to play the role of a silly girl? You really thought of that!" After Liu Yifei said that, she couldn't help but turn her head and laugh.

"Don't worry about whether I'm a bad person or not, just tell me what I think of my vision in casting." Li Chen turned his wife around domineeringly, held her cheeks with both hands and asked with a smile.

Liu Yifei endured the pain, her shoulders shaking with laughter: "Okay, okay, you are right, okay."

In view of this, "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was exclusively broadcast at the Mango Golden Eagle Theater the next evening, and Li Chen and his wife, as well as Liu Xiaoli, all waited by the TV.

After watching one episode, all three of them were stunned.

Li Chen had never watched a single episode of this version of Xiaolongbao in his previous life.

"Why is it that from the first episode till now it's all about Li Mochou?" Miss Liu, who is the real Little Dragon Girl, asked a soul-searching question.

Li Chen nodded: "It's all your fault! Yu Zheng has no choice but to find another way to shoot "The Legend of Mo Chou"!"

In fact, what Miss Liu said was right. Li Chen's mind was also full of question marks. After watching this episode, if he had not watched "The Return of the Condor Heroes", I'm afraid Li Chen would have really regarded Li Mochou as the protagonist.

After watching less than two episodes, Li Chen finally died of the poison.

When Lu Zhanyuan introduced himself, he actually claimed to be the "Yuan" in Chinese as in "founding fathers"!
The lines even include random words like "wife" and "first kiss".

Li Chen thought to himself, is there still a saying of "wife" and "first kiss" in ancient times? Yu Ma, I am not well educated, so don't lie to me!
Mother-in-law Liu Xiaoli didn't want to watch it anymore after watching the first episode, and Li Chen didn't make it to the end of the second episode.

Miss Liu insisted on finishing the film. Li Chen was extremely curious about how strong Miss Liu's heart was to finish the film.

"How could you finish watching two episodes? Mom didn't even finish one!" After going to bed, Li Chen finally asked the question in his heart.

As it turns out, Miss Liu is worthy of being Miss Liu, her appearance and IQ are perfectly matched.

"Of course I have to finish watching it. I don't just want to watch two episodes. I also want to see the ending. Think about it, I also played the role of Little Dragon Girl, so it's inevitable that I will be compared to her by the media."

"When the media asks me, am I like you and mom, laughing all the time?"

Li Chen nodded and gave Miss Liu a thumbs up: "That makes sense!"

"of course."

"But you seemed to be laughing the loudest just now!"

Liu Yifei was unwilling when she heard this!

"You bullshit!"

Li Chen laughed, hugged his wife in his arms, ignored her struggle, and forced her to practice the Jade Girl Heart Sutra.
Compared to Liu Yifei, this Xiaolongbao has a pretty good mentality.

In addition to being affectionately called Xiaolongbao by netizens, she also looks like White Snake and was teased as a buyer's show and a model.

The post became a hot topic on Weibo, which naturally attracted a wave of ridicule from netizens.

"Shopkeeper: I'll give you ten dollars if you delete the photo, okay?"

"Don't do that. You are trying to sow discord between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait."

"Please delete the buyer's show, so we can discuss how much cash back you can get."

"I really want to say stop criticizing her but let me laugh for a while hahahahaha
"I feel sorry for her. After competing with all the Little Dragon Girls of all generations, she now wants to compete with White Snake!"

“Even the fingers are chubby!”

I have to say that Miss Liu was indeed foresighted. When Li Chen and Liu Yifei arrived at the crew of "La La Land", many media were already blocking the gate waiting for Liu Yifei, the real Little Dragon Girl.

Li Chen accompanied Liu Yifei out of the car and said with a smile: "Do you want me to help you?"

"If you look down on me, I don't need your help!"

As soon as the media saw Li Chen and Liu Yifei get out of the car, they immediately surrounded them.

"Yifei, did you watch the premiere of The Return of the Condor Heroes last night? What do you think of Chen Yanxi's performance as Little Dragon Girl?"

The entertainment reporter industry is inherently in opposition to the artists.

Even Sina, at certain times, hopes that top stars like Li Chen and Liu Yifei will make a fool of themselves, get angry, or get anxious, so that the news can become a hot topic.

But obviously, Liu Yifei disappointed the reporters this time, as they had been prepared long ago last night.

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "I saw it, but it's not very polite to discuss other people's plays behind their backs. In fact, many people complained about me when I was acting. Really, I don't think it's that important what others say. Just be yourself."

How could the reporters let Liu Yifei go like this? "Then what would you say to Chen Yanxi?"

Liu Yifei smiled and said softly, "As a viewer, I am looking forward to her performance. I hope she can do her best. She is really great."

Li Chen secretly gave his wife a thumbs up, fearing that this impeccable performance would win her countless fans.

The beautiful and kind-hearted Xiaolongnu herself faced the tricky questions from these entertainment reporters.

There was no sign of impatience or rudeness.

Who can not love such a Little Dragon Girl?
