Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 764: A Master is Like a Disciple, Shortlisted for Berlin

In the hot search terms on search engines such as Baidu and Sogou, the entries for the crashed 'Weibo' are extremely prominent.

Cao Guowei called Li Chen directly.

Cao Guowei himself couldn't remember how many times his Weibo account had been paralyzed by Li Chen, the major shareholder.

Even the engineers asked him, the CEO of Weibo, if he was sure that Li Chen was a shareholder of Weibo and not a mortal enemy?
"I see, you as a shareholder are used to spur us to expand!" Cao Guowei's tone was both helpless and secretly delighted.

If it weren’t for Li Chen’s strong support back then, Weibo wouldn’t have achieved its current level.

From the beginning of the blog, the best move Cao Guowei made was to attract Liu Yifei to join the company, and then firmly bind her to Rongchen Pictures.

"You called just to talk about this?" Li Chen said with a smile.

Cao Guowei snorted: "What else can I say! You and Yifei are not coming to Weibo Night this year!"

"Let me tell you, you don't care about Weibo Queen, but there are people who are fighting for it. Also, did you know that Lu Han is this year's Weibo King, so you signed him?"

Li Chen was quite surprised and said, "How would I know that? He is the one that Yang Siwei likes. Who is fighting for the title of Weibo Queen you just mentioned?"

Cao Guowei chuckled: "It's too late to care about me now! I've already given it to Huayi's baby!"

Li Chen sneered and refused to believe Cao Guowei's nonsense.

This year's Weibo Queen was originally Miss Liu. "Vientiane Island" and "Knowing Your Destiny" have won numerous awards on both the big and small screens.

However, if it was always Ms. Liu every year, and Li Chen’s identity as a shareholder of Weibo was made public last year when Weibo went public.

It is inevitable that people will feel that you are both a referee and an athlete.

Therefore, Yang Siwei, this year's Weibo Queen, had already informed Sina in advance.

Reba is the first choice, whether it is the terrifying popularity accumulated from "Running Man", or the second female lead in "Vientiane Island", or the first female lead in the upcoming "Eternal Love", each of them is very popular.

Compared with Cao, Guo and Wei's secret joy, the kings of Hua and Yi were left with nothing but sorrow.

Sina Entertainment News

"The official announcement of Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" triggered a capital earthquake, Huayi's stock price plummeted by 2%, and netizens mocked it as '8000 million yuan of grudges'!"

"On the eve of the closing of the A-share market today, the news that Rongchen Pictures officially announced the release of "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" caused a huge shock in the film and television capital circle."

"Huayi's share price plummeted by 30% in the last 2.03 minutes of trading, and its market value evaporated by nearly 12 billion. The trigger for this capital avalanche was actually the famous 8000 million box office dividend lawsuit between Zhou Xingchi and Huayi two years ago."

As soon as "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" was released, Huayi's stock price reacted the fastest, dropping two points immediately, which immediately attracted heated discussions across the Internet, especially Zhou Xingchi's fans who applauded.

"Back then, Black Star made 80 million, but now he loses 1.2 billion a day. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the law of heaven will turn around. If you don't believe me, look up and see, no one will be spared by heaven!"

"The barometer of Huayi's stock price has changed from the former small steel cannon to the current little Leo."

"If Little Leo sneezes, both the big and small Wang will get seriously ill."

"The funniest thing is that one is a listed company and the other is a family business. They are obviously unrelated, yet they are closely related!"

In the office of Huayi Chairman Wang Zhongjun, the two brothers were in mourning.

I cheated Zhou Xingchi out of 80 million yuan in the beginning. Now that the stock price has dropped by two points, I have paid back all the 80 million yuan. This deal is really worth it.

The media also quoted Wang Zhonglei's original words mocking Zhou Xingchi for not understanding movies. The dead memory is really painful.

In fact, since Li Chen rejected Qi Jianhong and Wu Yifan, it was equivalent to indirectly blocking the possibility of Hua Yi wanting to reconcile with Zhou Xingchi.

The kings, big and small, had psychological expectations for the arrival of this day.

But having a psychological expectation does not mean that you can bear it, just like everyone knows that they will die, but when death really comes, how many people can face it calmly?

"Brother, 1.2 billion, 1.2 billion!" Wang Zhonglei was silent for a long time, and suddenly his eyes turned red!
"Zhonglei! Cheer up! Look at what you look like now!" Wang Zhongjun, who had been a soldier, shouted angrily. His heart was bleeding because he had never agreed with his brother doing this in the first place.

Caring only about immediate interests not only damaged Huayi's reputation, but also cut off Zhou Xingchi's source of income, causing investors to retreat one after another.

Others kill three birds with one stone, but my brother is different. With one arrow, 12 billion is gone.

Wang Zhonglei was startled by his elder brother's angry shout: "Big brother?"

Wang Zhongjun sighed inwardly and said in a gentle tone, "On the day when Wuzhen Journey to the West City was announced to be launched, you and I had already predicted this day would come."

"Stock price fluctuations are normal. When they fall, they rise. Right now, the most important thing for us is to cooperate with Xiaogang to make this Spring Festival Gala a success."

Wang Zhonglei was silent. The two brothers were also worried about this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Almost no artist from Rong Chen's faction was used, even though netizens called for it very loudly. Last year, almost all artists from Rong Chen's faction were on the show, and Feng Xiaogang, the chief director, also had legitimate reasons.

Of course, not almost all of them, one of the few that slipped through the net is Lu Han today.

Wang Zhonglei said viciously, "I've been hunting geese all day, but I didn't expect to get pecked in the eye by a goose! I knew there was something fishy about Lu Han, the man who was holding off on signing with Huayi!"

"If I had known he was going to sign with Li Chen, I would never have let him go on the Spring Festival Gala!"

It turns out that this year's Spring Festival Gala will feature the song "Those Flowers" sung by Wu Yifan, Lu Han, Chen Weiting and Ning Zetao, and it has now passed the first review.

"Brother, do you think we should talk to Xiaogang and kill Lu Han during the second trial and have a three-person chorus instead?"

Wang Zhongjun laughed angrily: "Don't do anything stupid. If you want to kill someone, just kill this program. There's no such thing as killing someone specifically!"

On the other hand, Li Chen only learned that Lu Han and Wu Yifan would appear together on the Spring Festival Gala after Lu Han signed the contract.

Li Chen set a precedent, and Feng Xiaogang followed suit and also asked for power from his superiors.

But it is obvious that Feng Xiaogang does not have Li Chen's influence or Li Chen's correct attitude.

Think about Feng Xiaogang's sarcastic tone at the press conference, saying things like the leaders should thank him.

Which leader would dare to hand over great power to him with confidence? Therefore, the power he gets is naturally greatly reduced.

However, Li Chen was not optimistic about the program performed by Lu Han and Wu Yifan. As far as he could remember, the returning four were not present in the 2015 Spring Festival Gala.

The hit TV series "The Empress of China" has made Fan Bingbing a hot topic.

The relationship with Shi Tou was exposed again, and it was most likely Shi Tou’s ex-girlfriend who revealed the news.

After all, in the play, Shi Tou's ex-girlfriend Xiao Shufei and his current girlfriend Wu Meiniang were already at loggerheads with each other, and outside the play, they were even more incompatible because of Shi Tou.

Sina Entertainment News

"At noon today, a photo of Fan Bingbing, Li Chen and Li Chen's grandmother was exposed online, and the words even implied that the two were in love. Sina Entertainment asked Fan Bingbing's studio for confirmation." "The other party said that the photo was taken during the filming of "The Empress of China". Li Chen's relatives came to visit the set and asked Fan Bingbing to take a photo with them. As for the "romance theory", it is very inexplicable."

Beijing News reported

"Recently, rumors of a romance between Fan Bingbing and Li Chen have been rife, following a media report a few days ago that Li Chen accompanied Fan Bingbing back to her hometown in Yantai during the New Year's Day holiday."

"Yesterday, there was news that Li Chen proposed to her with a stone heart, and the wedding date has been set for June this year. Today, a photo of Fan Bingbing, Li Chen and his grandmother was suddenly exposed, which made people speculate that the two have already met each other's parents."

When you are famous, you are prone to gossip. The "Wu Datou" incident has just come to an end, and Fan Bingbing broke the breaking news that she is in love with Li Chen.

Li Chen's ex-girlfriend was not a pushover either. After the media took a photo of Fan Bingbing with a double chin, she posted a Weibo post that seemed to mock Fan Bingbing: "Don't bow your head, or you'll have a double chin."

Now even a fool knows who Zhang Xinyu is mocking, after all, Fan Bingbing had just posted a Weibo post saying: "Don't bow your head, the crown will fall; don't shed tears, the bad guys will laugh."

As soon as the Weibo post was released, some netizens immediately pointed out: "Is this a mockery of the legendary 60-kilogram Fan Bingbing?"

Fan Bingbing was so angry that he was fuming and was even more unwilling to admit his relationship with Shi Tou Nan.

"If you think I'm so shameful, why don't we break up?" The stone man was also furious.

He knew that Fan Bingbing had always had someone named Li in his heart. Even with the previous Li Zhiting, Fan Bingbing's attitude had always been ambiguous, neither admitting nor denying.

But this time, Fan Bingbing denied it in a hurry, which almost broke Shi Tou's heart.

Isn't it just that you think his abilities in all aspects are average?
In terms of financial resources and influence, he is far behind Li Chen; in terms of appearance and age, he is far from Li Zhiting.

The only thing that can defeat these two people is probably the biceps!

Fan Bingbing did not comment: "If you want to split up, it's up to you!"

This sentence made Li Chen almost vomit blood. If he wanted to break up, he would have done it a long time ago.

"Since you don't care about me so much, why should we go to see your parents on New Year's Day!"

Fan Bingbing said calmly: "You should ask yourself when you can be more confident. You always have to compare yourself with others."

Fan Bingbing didn't finish his words, but added in his mind: "Can you compare?"

A few days later, a piece of news from the Berlin Film Festival caused a sensation in the circle again.

China Film Report
"Tian Zhuangzhuang's film "I Am Not Madame Bovary" was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, and Li Chen's mentor once again entered the international film scene."

"The first eight films shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 65th Berlin Film Festival were announced today. Chinese films are once again shining on the international stage. The art film "I Am Not Madame Bovary" directed by the famous director Tian Zhuangzhuang and starring Zhang Hanyun was successfully shortlisted."

"It will compete with Jiang Wen's One Step Away for the Golden Bear Award. It is worth noting that as a leading figure of China's fifth generation of directors, Tian Zhuangzhuang's nomination coincides with the box office of Rongchen Pictures, founded by his favorite student Li Chen, exceeding 2014 billion in ."

"The master and his apprentice reached the pinnacle in the fields of art and commerce respectively, becoming the best annotation of the development of the 'dual track system' of Chinese film."

Sina Entertainment News

“Zhang Hanyun’s breaking out moment!”

"From a Super Girl idol to a Berlin Film Queen candidate, Zhang Hanyun's transformation is nothing short of miraculous. To play the role of rural woman Li Xuelian, she lived and ate with people in a rural Henan province for five months, gained 5 kilograms and learned the local dialect."

"It is reported that a scene of kneeling in the rain was shot in 27 takes. Tian Zhuangzhuang commented: She reminds me of the young Gong Li."

"And netizens discovered that Zhang Hanyun's Weibo profile has been changed to 'actor'!"

"For Jiang Wen, the inclusion of One Step Away in the Berlin Film Festival means that his five works over the past 20 years have "collected" tickets to the main competition units of the three major European international film festivals: Cannes, Venice and Berlin."

"Before this, only Zhang Yimou and Li Chen had achieved this feat."

The artists from Rongchen Pictures were all congratulating Zhang Hanyun. The moment Zhang Hanyun learned that she was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, she burst into tears with excitement.

Finally, the hard work of half a year was not in vain, and the two years of further study in the film academy were not wasted.

Li Yuchun, Zhang Liangying and Zhang Hanyun are the three best developed Super Girls.

She is known as the little princess of ancient style in the music world. Now that she has been shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, she finally dares to add the identity of an actor to her Weibo certification.

Seeing that Liu Yifei was the first to cheer her up on her Weibo, Zhang Hanyun quickly replied: "Thank you, sister. I finally lived up to my boss's cultivation and my sister's encouragement."

Li Chen also called Tian Zhuangzhuang as soon as possible. Since Tian Zhuangzhuang went to the Golden Horse Awards, Li Chen discussed with him the idea of ​​sending "I Am Not Madame Bovary" to the Berlin Film Festival.

Tian Zhuangzhuang was still a little hesitant at first, but Li Chen's words, "If it weren't for ten years, you might have been shortlisted a long time ago," moved him.

"Congratulations, teacher."

Tian Zhuangzhuang received countless congratulatory calls today, but the one from Li Chen was the most heartwarming.

Perhaps the greatest blessing in his life was that he accepted Li Chen as his last disciple at the age of knowing the destiny.

"Thank you, Li Chen."

Li Chen smiled and said, "Teacher, there is no need for us to say thank you. If I really want to thank you, I can't finish it. You have helped me block so many arrows and arrows over the years."

After chatting with Tian Zhuangzhuang for a while, as soon as he hung up the phone, he saw his wife curl her lips and said, "My "Pan Jinlian"! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

Although Miss Liu was blaming Li Chen, she had a smile on her face. Her husband did not let her act in the first place because he did not want her to suffer in the countryside.

It is a foregone conclusion that "La La Land" will be shortlisted for Venice. As the saying goes, "A blessing in disguise", she is very open-minded. Besides, Yunyun is also one of her own and she is extremely respectful to her.

Li Chen laughed and put his arm around his wife's waist, letting her fists rain down on his chest.

"Blame me, blame me. Don't worry, we are still young and there are plenty of opportunities."

At 1:15 on the evening of January 18, the 2014 Sina Weibo Night was held at BJ International Trade Center Phase .

Amidst the dazzling stars, Yang Mi and Lu Han walked hand in hand on the red carpet.

As soon as the two met backstage on the red carpet, Yang Mi hugged Lu Han affectionately and said, "Call me sister, you little Lu! It turns out that you didn't sign with our Jiaxing because you had set your sights on your senior's big ship! Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Lu Han quickly put his hands up and begged for mercy, saying with a smile: "Sister Mi, I was wrong. I was just afraid that the company would not want me, and saying it out would hurt my self-esteem!"

"Tell me the truth, was it you who asked Mr. Xing to play the role in Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back?!"

Lu Han quickly played dumb and said, "I really don't know. Master Xing told me that he was the one who chose me!"

As the two were talking, Zhao Liying, Zhang Han, Zhang Hanyun and Zhu Yawen also arrived.
