Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 758 He is playing us

Han Sanping knew that after this happened, Chen Kaige and his wife would definitely find him.

After all, the three of them also have the same feelings as the heroes of the century.

"Chen Hong, I can't control this matter. To tell you the truth, Li Chen didn't even inform me about this matter. He contacted his superiors."

Chen Hong was shocked. No matter how strong she was, she was just a woman. Han Sanping's tone revealed a sense of boredom.

"Director Han, what do you mean?"

"That's what you were thinking. You were in the wrong in the first place. Now that it's been exposed, you'd better not make things difficult for your leader. If the Taoist wants to go down the mountain, find another way."

Chen Hong was inexplicably afraid. Should she change the route or change the person?
"What did Han Sanping say?" Chen Kaige asked hurriedly when he saw his wife was stunned after hanging up the phone with Han Sanping.

Chen Hong came back to her senses, but she rubbed her temples in panic and shook her head, "Don't ask me, I don't know either!"

After saying that, he walked out of the study room. Chen Kaige was stunned. I didn't know what he meant.

Back then, Zhang Weiping had a plan in his hand and looked down upon the world.

He offended everyone in the industry and even blasted Han Sanping, the head of Chinese film, in person at Huabiao.

But because of Zhang Yimou, no one could do anything to him, and Han Saping could only suffer in silence.

Today's Li Chen is not only as powerful as Zhang Yimou, but also has the ability to crush Zhang Weiping or any other filmmaker.

When filming "Draw the Bow, Dad", Li Chen quickly became close to the cultural and sports related fields, and thus came into the vision of that real big shot.

When filming "Soldier Assault" and "Chinese Police", we maintained good relations with these two government offices.

The filming of "Passengers" brought me back to the aerospace technology world.

Directing the Spring Festival Gala also has a good relationship with the Central Bank.

Li Chen has never used these connections, but if he really uses them, ten city dragons are no match for them.

Chenglong had the same reaction as Chen Kaige and his wife. When the incident of "The Taoist Priest" was exposed, the first person he suspected was Li Chen.

But before he had time to verify it, he received a special phone call.

Cheng Long saw the call and signaled the woman next to him to be quiet.

"Director Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time." Cheng Long said with a hearty smile.

In fact, it wasn’t a long time. I went to see this person not long ago regarding my son’s matter.

Director Zhang also smiled and greeted Cheng Long: "Yes, it's almost the end of the year, and we dare not relax."

Chenglong smiled and echoed: "That's right, that's right, the people's police serve the people."

Director Zhang laughed heartily and changed the subject, "Those rumors on the Internet are all groundless, right?"

This question made Cheng Long speechless. He was silent for two seconds before he said, "Director Zhang also saw it."

"Yes, not only did I see it, but the boss also saw it, and he laughed and joked with me, saying how could this be possible, Chenglong was playing us! If this is true, we should change actors for the third part!"

Although Zhang Chu was smiling and talking, it sounded like thunder in Chenglong's ears.

This was half a joke, half a warning.

Many thoughts flashed through Cheng Long's mind in an instant, and he wondered if this was Li Chen exerting his strength.

Li Chen is much more familiar with the other party’s top leader than he is.

Cheng Long hesitated for a moment, then said with a bitter smile: "The leader is right, the leader is right."

Seeing that Chenglong understood, the caller continued, "That's good. Let's do this for now. I still have to contact the relevant departments to confirm whether this is true. The leader is still waiting for my reply, so I won't talk to you for now."

Chenglong hung up the phone exhausted.

"What did you say? Who is this person?" the woman next to her asked anxiously.

Although her husband repeatedly stated in front of the media that he did not use his connections to save her son, how could that be possible?

She can't accept two years without any change in the relationship.

"Don't ask anymore!" Chenglong said irritably.

The woman was about to continue asking questions when Chenglong's phone rang again.

When Chenglong saw that it was Ren Zhonglun, he immediately had a bad feeling as soon as the call was connected.

Ren Zhonglun asked, "What do you think of changing Railroad Tigers to Railroad Dragons?"

Cheng Long's heart tightened, and he couldn't say much on the phone: "Director Ren has the final say!"

Ren Zhonglun sighed, said no more, and hung up the phone silently.

Chenglong understood everything.

"What happened?" the woman asked anxiously. Seeing that her husband's face was uglier than before, she knew that the call was definitely not a good thing.

Chenglong didn't want to explain more to the woman. How could he explain this to her?

Could it be that Li Chen is a local tyrant with deep roots in the mainland, and even this dragon from across the river can't do anything to others?

In terms of connections, influence, financial resources, and even reputation, although he is young, he is superior to him in all aspects.

Without even taking any direct action, the alliance that he had worked so hard to build collapsed in an instant.

Chenglong is not worried about anything else now, he is just afraid that Li Chen will use some means to make the six months go back to two years.

Not to mention Chenglong was worried.

Let’s just talk about how the onlookers reacted on Christmas Day.

The Jiaxing trio was probably the one that reacted the fastest.

Zeng Jia, Zhao Ruoyao and Yang Miko all seemed familiar with this method.

"Do you think Li Chen did this?" Zeng Jia asked uncertainly.

Yang Mi said with great certainty: "It must be Senior, and it must be Siwei's work!"

"But what is his purpose in doing this? Isn't this clearly telling everyone who did it? And he wants to use public opinion to stir up trouble, will it work?" Zhao Ruoyao frowned.

Zeng Jia shook her head and said, "This is not just a simple business competition, it's a game of discourse power! It's just that we don't know what other actions the two parties in the game will take."

Yang Mi nodded and said, "Jia Jia is the one who sees things clearly. From what I know about our senior, public opinion was just the trigger. He has always had a clear attitude from the beginning. I remember what he said to us at the beginning."

“There are some red lines that we can’t be the only ones guarding!”

"I understand! He wants to set rules for the industry."

Zeng Jia also nodded and said, "Mimi is right, Li Chen is really ruthless! The opponents are Cheng Long and Chen Kaige, and one is the leading actor in "Chinese Police 2". The most important thing is that "Chinese Police 2" will be released in less than a month."

Chen Sicheng and his wife, Wang Baoqiang and his wife and four others were also discussing this matter. Wang Baoqiang is the leading male role in "The Taoist Priest".

"Baby, is the online revelation true? Is it true that nothing was edited?" Tong Liya couldn't help gossiping. Wang Baoqiang had his signature silly smile on his face: "How should I know? How could Director Chen tell me such a thing?"

Chen Sicheng added: "I was wondering who broke the news. People on the Internet said it was Yang Siwei's work."

Chen Sicheng did not mention Li Chen, but the four people present all knew who Yang Siwei belonged to.

Wang Baoqiang didn't want to talk about this topic. Regardless of whether it was Director Li or not, he just hoped that he would not be implicated in this matter.

Both sides are gods, so don't let a mortal like him get hurt when they fight.

On Christmas Day, in addition to the revelations about "The Taoist Priest", Yu Zheng also became a plagiarist that everyone wanted to punish.

Sina Entertainment News

"Today, the Beijing No. 3 People's Court pronounced a verdict on the infringement case filed by Qiong Yao against Yu Zheng and others: the four companies immediately stopped the distribution and dissemination of "Palace", and Yu Zheng publicly apologized to eliminate the impact."

"The five defendants were ordered to pay a total of 500 million yuan in compensation. The official Weibo account commented on Yu Zheng's plagiarism of Qiong Yao, saying: Making a fortune by plagiarizing, even if you gain both fame and fortune, is actually setting a trap for yourself. The law does not tolerate literary thieves."

"Regarding this plagiarism incident, many netizens also left comments and made jokes. One netizen said: "Yu Zheng is in trouble, and all sides are giving thumbs up."

Li Chen didn't care about Yu Zheng's life or death. It was indeed he who arranged for Director Zhang to call Chenglong.

Regarding the casting change in "Chinese Police 3", the other party had no objection and it was entirely up to Rong Chen to decide.

After this incident, the other party also felt that Chenglong was no longer suitable to continue playing the role of a Chinese policeman.

Two days later, the General Administration and the crew of "The Taoist" both came out to refute the rumors.

It was claimed that the crew of "The Taoist" had already decided to delete all of Fang's scenes, and that "The Taoist" and "Monster Hunt" would be postponed for release.

Netizens were confused and didn't understand what was going on. They just thought someone was deliberately spreading rumors.

But how could I know how many unknown stories happened behind the scenes in these two days.

Liu Yifei knew the inside story. The real owner was not panicked at all in the past two days, but she was a little nervous.

Seeing her husband strolling leisurely in the garden while still concentrating on filming every day, Liu Yifei was completely convinced.

She doesn't have the big heart of her husband.

Ren Zhonglun came to the "La La Land" crew again, and Chen Kexin was really curious.

What on earth could have caused Ren Zhonglun to visit the set every few days?

But this time Ren Zhonglun still did not get a satisfactory answer.

"Mr. Ren, does Li Chen mean that there will be a bid for the second part of "Vientiane Island"? " Luo Yi was also surprised.

It immediately occurred to me that perhaps Li Chen had already excluded them from the show.

Otherwise, Mr. Ren had already made overtures to him about the "Railway" matter, but the other party still refused to give in.

Ren Zhonglun sighed and laughed at himself: "I underestimated him. The higher-ups have already told me about the Railway. If I don't change the role, it won't pass the review."

Luo Yi was slightly surprised and asked, "You mean, Li Chen has also found someone?"

Ren Zhonglun raised his eyes and looked at his confidant, nodded slightly but said nothing.

Li Chen not only looked for someone, but he did not look for Han Saping, but went directly to Tianting to find the top leader.

Not only that, other people in the Six Gates also indirectly put pressure on their superiors.

Luo Yi understood everything in his mind. He knew that the level of people he could get in touch with billionaires no longer depended on their acting skills.

After Christmas, the war of words over "One Step Away" finally began.

The netizens and people in the circle were all dumbfounded.

It's not surprising to see people swearing.

One of the producers of "One Step Away", Sony China General Manager Didi said that the movie made the nouveau riche unhappy, and pointed out that it was expected that Wang Sicong was New Money like Wu Qi in the movie.

What is shocking is that the official Weibo of "One Step Away" actually posted a poster of "Wu Qi" in the movie Photoshopped by Wang Sicong.

It was the first time for everyone in the circle, including Li Chen, to see this Western scene.

The war of words between the two sides lasted for three days, and it seemed that Chen Kaige's ex-wife truly loved Jiang Wen.

After the premiere, all the main actors remained silent, and only she, the supporting actress, supported Jiang Wen. This time, she stood up again and hinted on Weibo that Wang Sicong was the prototype of Wu Qi.

Back then, Chen Kaige was defeated because of a steamed bun, and this woman stood up to rub salt into her ex-husband's wounds, implying that her ex-husband's heart was not as big as a steamed bun.

Now they are competing with the producers of "One Step Away" and an audience, which is really ridiculous.

Whose heart is smaller than a steamed bun? No one can tell.

In fact, in Li Chen's opinion, there was nothing extreme about Wang Sicong's initial behavior in this matter.

I just posted a message on Weibo: To those friends who haven’t watched “One Step Away”, congratulations... you’ve escaped this disaster.

Sony Pictures, one of the producers of "One Step Away", responded to Wang Sicong on Weibo that day: Wang Sicong is not an unintelligent person, he can also see that this movie is about nouveau riche.

This led to the escalation of the incident, with both sides exchanging foul language.

Southern Weekend report
"It was reported earlier that Wang Sicong's criticism of the film was not simply because he was "rich and willful". The reason behind it was that Wanda had paid a guaranteed box office of 10 billion yuan for the film, but now the reputation of "One Step Away" has collapsed and Wanda has suffered huge losses."

"Wang Sicong's attitude is actually Wanda's attitude. However, on the evening of the 27th, the reporter learned from an insider that this statement is not true. Wanda Films is only a co-producer and co-distributor, so there is no guarantee."

"The insider revealed that if Wanda Pictures really guaranteed a minimum of 10 billion yuan in box office revenue for the film, it would be ranked higher in the production rankings, rather than being listed as a co-producer as it is now."

"From the various publicity releases about One Step Away, Beijing Buyi Lehu Film Culture Development Co., Ltd. is at the top of the list of producers. Wanda Films is not listed at the top of the list of distribution companies."

The crew of "La La Land" is also talking about this.

Chen Kexin recalled the scene when "The Promise" and "If Love" met on a narrow road. At that time, the two Mrs. Chen had several rounds of exchanges on the Internet.

But no one competed with the audience, and "One Step Away" was a historical first.

"Jiang Wen really only cares about making movies and doesn't care about anything else." Wu Jun Tathagata visited the set and joked with Chen Kexin with a smile.

"Stay out of your own business. What does this have to do with us?" Chen Kexin warned him. His wife was no pushover either.

During the lunch break, Li Chen and his wife also talked about this topic.

"Jiang Wen's decision to go after Sony this time is really hurtful to both sides. What good will it bring to him if he offends Wanda? Sony just walked away, but he has to continue."

"Wang Sicong just complained. Now that things have come to this, Jiang Wen's movies in the future will not just be about losing a producer."

Liu Yifei nodded secretly. Director Jiang is not her husband. Director Jiang’s productivity is not as good as Director Zhou’s.

It takes four to five years to make a movie. Apart from Let the Bullets Fly, which has both good reputation and box office, there is nothing else that theaters should worry about.

What's more, there are many actors who are good at acting and can become directors.
If what happened today happened to her husband, Wang Sicong might have been more cautious.
