Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 755 Fortunately the boss didn't come
Below the official Weibo account of Rongchen Pictures, there is like a celebrity sign-in book, with mainland celebrities being more active than each other.

I’m afraid if I don’t like it at this time, I’ll be poisoned.

Hong Kong artists were also quick to respond, and the fat lady even left a message.

But none of this is as meaningful as the official Weibo account’s likes.

Even Li Chen did not expect this, and it was Han Saping who cleared up the confusion for Li Chen.

"You're lucky, kid."

The official Weibo account gave a thumbs up to the post, and some Hong Kong and Taiwan artists who originally wanted to show their individuality became completely helpless in the rain.

Only those few rotten fish and shrimps continue to jump around without knowing whether to live or die.

Netizens took out the Hong Kong and Taiwan artists that Li Chen had dealt with over the years and whipped their corpses one by one.

From Bai Ge to Lan Zai Fa, from Ma Wei Hao to Huang Qiu Sheng and then to Du Wen Ze who is still courting death, and so on.

No one expected that Li Chen's words and a Weibo post would have such a huge response, and even have official endorsement.

Some filmmakers in Hong Kong and Taiwan who usually have positive views have also spoken out.

Sina Entertainment News

"Hong Kong director Wang Jing announced on Weibo that he has severed ties with Huang Qiusheng, Du Wenzhe and He Wanshi."

"He is Mr. Huang Qiusheng, Mr. Du Wenze, and Ms. He Wanshi. We have had a very pleasant cooperation. I also respect that you can have your own political views. But I will never agree with them."

"To avoid embarrassment, your contact information will be deleted from my phone and computer. I wish you a happy life!"

Wang Jing and his big boss Xiang Huaqi have always been impeccable in this regard. In order to release the movie "Big Man, Big Wisdom" in mainland China, they gave up the Golden Horse Award in 03.

Perhaps since Yongsheng transformed into Zhongguoxing, the Xiang family’s only remaining path has been the ancient Huashan Mountain.

Therefore, Han Sanping only made a slight move back then and it was already the limit of that segment.

Mainland artists such as Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li will naturally not be absent at this time.

Gongli had a falling out with the Golden Horse Awards this time and vowed not to participate in the Awards again.

Many people in the circle cheered for Gong Li, but unfortunately, Li Chen knew that the shelf life of this oath would not exceed four years.

In Li Chen's opinion, it was a loss of face for Gongli to have her agent criticize the Golden Horse Awards this time.

He never stood up to respond, and after his agent fired the accusation, he completely lost contact.

Zhang Aijia, the executive committee chairman of the Golden Horse Awards, has a lot of opinions about Gongli.

During the crew's break at noon, Li Chen unexpectedly received a call from Li An.

I don’t know why Li An called me. They haven’t been in touch for a long time.

As soon as the call was connected, Li Chen realized that Li An wanted to be a peacemaker.

"Li Chen, so many years have passed, let the past be the past. Old Wu had a hard time too." Li An's voice was still soft.

"Director Li, did Wu Yusen ask you to make this call? Or are you just wishful thinking?"

"We have known each other for so many years, and he no longer has the heart to compete with you. I know him, even though he didn't say it."

"So, it's just your wishful thinking?" Li Chen interrupted Li An's chatter.

Li An's tone choked and he remained silent for a while.

"Director Li, I'm just speaking the truth. I didn't mention the past in front of the media. I'm not targeting Wu Yusen alone, do you understand?" Li Chen said meaningfully.

He really wanted to learn from Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu and say: Don’t get me wrong, I’m not targeting you, I’m saying that everyone here is garbage!

Li An hung up the phone dejectedly.

The lover beside him asked with concern: "Didn't he agree?"

Li An sighed and said, "Although we all have the last name Li, we are not really from the same family."

The box office of "Longling Mystery Cave" is unstoppable, and it has basically secured the title of Lunar New Year box office champion in the first six days.

China Film Report
"The first week of the box office of "Longling Mystery Cave" was 9.5 million, Rongchen Films created another Chinese film legend."

"The fantasy adventure blockbuster "Longling Mystery Cave", produced by Rongchen Pictures, directed by Wu Bin, and starring Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Yuqi, has swept the box office market with unstoppable momentum since its release on December 12."

"The film earned 1.25 million RMB on the first day, and the cumulative box office in the first six days exceeded 9.5 million RMB, second only to the feat of "Vientiane Island" which broke 10 billion RMB in its first week, becoming the most dazzling box office champion of the 2014 Lunar New Year holiday."

"Industry forecasts that based on the current trend, the total box office of the film is very likely to exceed the 20 billion mark, becoming another phenomenal work in the history of Chinese-language films. Huang Xiaoming is likely to unlock the 70 billion mark in his personal film box office with this film."

"It is worth mentioning that, up to now, all the movies with a box office of more than 10 billion in Chinese film history have been produced by Rongchen Pictures. Li Chen and Rongchen Pictures, which he founded, have completely rewritten the landscape of Chinese-language films, even eclipsing the traditional giant Huayi Brothers."

Who wouldn’t be excited after seeing the box office of “Longling Mystery Cave”? Hollywood has six big ones, but China only has one super one.

"The Cave of Dragon Ridge" made Jiang Wen jealous, and now it's the turn of "One Step Away". It passed the review on the 12th, and the film company immediately decided to hold its premiere at the Olympic Sports Center on the 15th, otherwise the 3D equipment would have to be dismantled.

The global premiere of "One Step Away" at the Beijing Olympic Sports Center on the 15th can be said to be highly anticipated.

After all, there is news about this drama almost every day, and huge changes can happen at any minute.

In addition, the second big drama of the Lunar New Year period, "Longling Mystery Cave", has already expected to reach 20 billion, which is bound to squeeze the box office space of "One Step Away".

It is no exaggeration to say that tonight's premiere is a big test for Jiang Wen.

Before the premiere, Jiang Wen also called Li Chen.

"You are unlucky! If you miss the premiere of 'One Step Away', you will regret it later." Jiang Wen said shamelessly.

In fact, he both wanted Li Chen to attend and was afraid that Li Chen would attend the premiere of "One Step Away".

Although he is confident about "One Step Away", Li Chen's performance at the premiere has always been a barometer of the box office.

Generally speaking, the films he gives positive reviews to are always guaranteed to do well at the box office.

If he keeps silent, the director will be worried.

Li Chen thought, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before, but it’s better not to go to the premiere. What would I say if I went?

Li Chen cannot do such a thing as belittling Jiang Wen now, as for praising Jiang Wen, does Jiang Wen still need anyone to praise him?

"Don't worry, even though I can't go, Yang Siwei can go in my place."

"I'm telling you, this is the best movie I've ever made. Don't you want to fly over and see it?"

"I'll fly back to Beijing this afternoon and fly here again tomorrow morning!"

Jiang Wen slapped his thigh and said, "That's what I mean! Are you coming or not? You are not short of money, how about I buy you and Yifei's tickets?"

"Okay, Director Jiang, as long as you can convince Li Chen, I have no problem!" Liu Yifei's voice came from the phone.

Jiang Wen was even more excited: "Did you hear that? Yifei wants to come too! You two can come, I'll save a seat for you! The opening screening will be around 8pm. I'm not afraid to tell you that I haven't seen the copy yet!"

Li Chen pointed at his wife who was sitting beside him eating fruit with a smile in his eyes.

"We won't go there. When the movie is released, it will be the same if we watch it in Shanghai. I will book three screenings and let everyone in the crew go and watch it."

Li Chen thought that Jiang Wen's play could be considered a musical, and it would be beneficial to let the "La La Land" crew go and see it.

"Okay, that's nice! You support Zhou Xun's play for 20 shows, and you support my play for 3 shows!"

Li Chen sneered: "Zhou Xun is Rong Chen's man, are you? If you are, I will book 200 shows!"

Jiang Wen laughed loudly: "Three games are enough, three games are enough! Let's talk about it later. I don't know what Shu Qi is doing today. She said she couldn't come at the last minute. I'm so mad at her!"

Li Chen felt amused, it seemed that Shu Qi was a sensible person.

Yang Siwei arrived at the Olympic Sports Center around five in the afternoon, and many Rongchen artists came with her.

The media were surprised to find that Lu Han, who had just returned to China, was following Yang Siwei.

Next to Lu Han were Zhang Yixing, Song Qian and other Rongchen seniors who had experience in South Korea. Before the premiere of "One Step Away" started, the news that Lu Han and Yang Siwei appeared on the premiere red carpet became a hot search.

The media stopped Yang Siwei and Rong Chen and others, and asked one after another whether Lu Han wanted to join Rong Chen.

It's just that Yang Siwei is well versed in the ways of the world. Jiang Wen is the absolute protagonist today, and bringing Lu Han here to show up is already a bit of a lead. To say more, it's a bit too much to steal the spotlight from "One Step Away".

So I'm just playing Tai Chi with the media.

Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun looked at Yang Siwei's sturdy body and Lu Han's petite physique, and felt a sense of absurd humor similar to that in the movie "One Step Away".

"Director Jiang, Sister Yun, I'm late." Yang Siwei laughed.

Jiang Wen waved his hand generously and glanced at Lu Han, Zhang Yixing and others: "It's not too late at all. You brought so many children to show your support for me."

Zhou Yun also smiled and said, "He is Lu Han."

Yang Siwei nodded and said to Lu Han, "I don't need to introduce these two."

Lu Han smiled and bowed to shake hands with the two of them: "Director Jiang, Sister Yun, I am Lu Han, please give me your guidance."

Zhou Yun stood beside Yang Siwei and nodded repeatedly: "You have good vision."

"No wonder he doesn't like our Ying Huang, that's why."

Ge Youle said happily: "I heard that he also rejected Huayi. At that time, I guessed that he was targeting Rongchen."

The news that Lu Han and Yang Siwei appeared on the red carpet of "One Step Away" quickly spread in the circle.

Yang Mi, who was still in Shanghai, felt unhappy.

After all this time, they found out that Lu Han was actually from the company. It was all in vain that Jiaxing had tried so hard to get Lu Han.

"Senior didn't even mention this to us!" Yang Mi said depressedly.

Zeng Jia looked unhappy: "Yes, the financing plan mentioned "I am a Witness", but after Li Chen read it, he didn't mention it at all."

Ever since the last failed attempt to raise funds from Li Chen, Zeng Jia has been calling Li Chen by a lower-level name again and again.

From being the boss at the beginning, he was demoted to Director Li, but now he calls him by his name.

-

Nearly 3400 people came to the Olympic Sports Center tonight. From 3400pm to pm, these people saw the true appearance of "One Step Away".

However, what was originally thought to be a grand premiere ended with applause before the movie even started.

Under Asia's largest temporary IMAX screen, which the film company spent huge amounts of money to set up, the warmest applause only came before the movie started, and it stopped abruptly after the dragon mark representing the approval of the censorship appeared.

After the screening, the emcee Yuchi Linjia asked, "What do you think of the film?"

There was sparse applause.

Yang Siwei glanced at the artists he brought with him, and only Lu Han was applauding.

"Do you understand? Just clap along?"

Lu Han looked embarrassed, with a slight smile on his face but shaking his head secretly.

Yang Siwei glared at him and said, "Others just follow what they say. If you think it's good, just applaud. If you think it's not good, there's no need to pretend. Look at what Yixing and Song Qian did."

Zhang Yixing whispered in Lu Han's ear: "It's okay, my first time attending a premiere of a big director was similar to yours."

Lu Han was worried and thought to himself that the company was really strong.

He really didn't understand this movie at all.

In fact, after the movie started, people around him had already left one after another.

Jiang Wen was furious; he had not expected such a result.

What he didn't expect was yet to come.

Yang Siwei was glad for her boss that he didn't come today, otherwise it would have been difficult for her.

The premiere ended around ten o'clock.

The main creators were invited to the stage again to communicate with the audience, and the media reporters were also in high spirits.

Several main creators were asked about their viewing experience, and each answer caught Jiang Wen off guard.

Ge You said happily: "I'll go back and think about it first."

Wang Zhiwen chose his words carefully: "It's a delicious meal. Let me digest it."

The boss of Ying Huang in the audience had a stiff smile, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Jiang Wen remained calm, but Zhou Yun was no longer calm.

Seeing that the creators were all evasive, Zhou Yun was angry and immediately stood up and said, "I didn't expect Jiang Wen to make such a beautiful movie."

Compared to the reserved creators, the audience was not so nervous.

"I can't believe this and Let the Bullets Fly were made by the same Jiang Wen. It's so bad that I suspect this was just thrown together just to please his wife!"

"Jiang Wen is too confident, the media is too godlike, too pretentious, too noble, and too far away from the real world. It's 100 If You Are the One away from Let the Bullets Fly!"

Yang Siwei and his own artists were naturally the targets of media siege.

Yang Siwei was well prepared when he came, and his answer was flawless: "Director Jiang Wen and Director Li are both among the best directors in China. I will watch "One Step Away" several more times!"

Lu Han got into the car before he dared to ask Yang Siwei: "Sister, didn't you understand what was going on just now?"

Yang Siwei glanced at him and said, "Nonsense, who would read it a second time if they understand it?"

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" was about to be released. The next day, Yang Siwei felt that the time was right, so he ordered his men to take action.

Sina Entertainment News

"The Taking of Tiger Mountain 3D, directed by Xu Ke and starring Zhang Hanyu, Lin Gengxin, Liang Jiahui, Tong Liya, Chen Xiao, Han Geng, Yu Nan and others, will be released on December 12."

"Compared to the low-key promotion in the early stages, the recent previews have fueled netizens' enthusiasm for the film."

Southern Weekend report
"According to Hong Kong media reports, Lau Ka Ling spent her 49th birthday with her popular celebrity friends. On the evening of the 16th, she also had dinner with Mrs. Xiang and Xiang Huaqiong's son Xiang Zuo."

"Afterwards, Xiang Zuo continued to sing with Liu Jialing, and a close-up photo of Liu Jialing with her hand on Xiang Zuo's chest was also exposed. The two of them sang affectionately and seemed to be very happy."

"It is reported that Xiang Zuo is the eldest son of Xiang Huaqiong. Because he has a special liking for the entertainment industry, he returned from studying in the UK in his early years and entered the Hong Kong modeling industry, and is active in various fashion occasions."

"After that, Xiang Zuo's career gradually shifted to the entertainment industry, and he filmed movies such as "72 Tenants", "The Warlords", and "The Legend of Zu".

There are suddenly a lot of press releases about Xiang Zuo on the Internet. It is obvious that this tendon meat is a favorite of rich women. No wonder Liu Jialing also tried it.

But who knows that Brother Zuo chose the wrong master. He should not have followed the King of Kung Fu, but should have followed the King of Comedy Stephen Chow. Isn't this a waste of talent?

The former boss of Yongsheng had been gone for less than a month, but it didn't seem to have affected the nephew's mood at all.

Early in the morning on the 16th, negative reviews of "One Step Away" flooded all major entertainment pages.

Jiang Wen is still the same Jiang Wen. My movies are good movies, and those who don’t understand them are not good people!
On the afternoon of the 16th, when Jiang Wen was a guest on Sina Jia Chat, he said frankly that he was very satisfied with this work.

Regarding the negative reviews, Jiang Wen said self-indulgently: "First of all, those who come here are my friends, so I feel embarrassed to praise them!"

"Secondly, the audience entered the theater at around 5pm to wait for the screening. After waiting for three hours, they would naturally be tired and would complain. Even if they understood the movie, they would still say they didn't understand it."

Li Chen really wanted to give Jiang Wen a thumbs up. No matter whether the audience understood Jiang Wen or not, Jiang Wen definitely didn’t understand the audience.

This negative review made Liu Yifei even more excited for the nationwide release of "One Step Away" on the 18th.

"Is Director Jiang's movie really that bad?" Liu Yifei asked in disbelief.

Li Chen thought for a moment before saying, "It's definitely not bad. Jiang Wen can't make a bad movie, but when he makes a movie, he just wants to express everything he wants to express. As for whether the audience can accept it or understand it, that's the audience's problem. Do you understand what I mean?"
