Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 768 Sister Meng goes viral
Ever since joining Rongchen, Lu Han has never worried about him terminating his contract with SM.

In fact, it started from the first time Lu Han and Yang Siwei met.

Yang Siwei contacted Yu Miao and asked him to coordinate this matter.

With the mediation of CJ, before signing the contract, Yang Siwei told Lu Han that he and SM had reached a settlement on the contract termination.

Someone from SM company also called Lu Han, and everyone parted ways amicably.

The news of the settlement will be announced before the end of the year.

SM showing leniency to Lu Han doesn't mean they will show mercy to Wu Yifan either.

Rongchen Pictures is the boss of Dongda, and CJ is the boss of South Korea. SM can’t afford to offend them, and it won’t win the lawsuit.

But Yaolai couldn't make SM give in easily.

Without mentioning the matter of the two sons returning home, Feng Xiaogang's sudden attack quickly became a hot topic before the Spring Festival.

Jinghua Daily reported
"Feng Xiaogang angrily denounced the movie "Dad 2" as a 'cancer of the industry', and praised "Running Man" for sticking to the bottom line and not making quick money."

Sina Entertainment News

"Before the Spring Festival movie season begins, the industry has already heard a thunderclap."

"At the annual meeting of the China Film Directors Association today, Feng Xiaogang criticized the movie "Where Are We Going, Dad? 2" in front of more than a hundred filmmakers, saying that this kind of variety show movie is the cancer of the industry!"

"And just the day before yesterday, the pre-sale box office of the film had exceeded 5000 million. What is intriguing is that "Running Man", which is also a top variety show IP, is jointly produced by Rongchen Pictures, Guangguang and Blueberry TV."

"But they always stick to the bottom line of 'not shooting variety shows', and this choice has been rewarded by the market: Today, Guangguang's stock price rose 1.8% against the trend, hitting a three-month high."

Others may not understand Feng Xiaogang's statement, but people like Li Chen and Wang Changtian can definitely see it clearly.

At least no one is talking about his ex-wife anymore, the topic has been diverted, and he can now shoot "Old Cannon" and direct the Spring Festival Gala at the same time.

Rong Chen's variety show segment is valued at over 90 billion in the industry, and there are many different opinions about Li Chen's wealth.

Most of Li Chen's wealth is hidden beneath the water. The only assets that float on the water are the shareholders of Youku, Weibo, ReadAfterDestroying, and the assets of Rongchen and Chiyou.

Plus there is ByteDance, which was invested by Liu Yifei.

Last year, Li Chen and his wife ranked seventh in the Hurun list in China with assets of 965 billion yuan, and they were the only couple in the entertainment industry to make the top ten.

Jack Ma ranked first with 1500 billion.

But among the top six, at least three know that Li Chen’s actual wealth is definitely greater than Jack Ma’s.

Xiao Ma alone knows that the Penguin shares held by Li Chen are worth 17 billion US dollars.

As for the exact amount of Li Chen's wealth, I'm afraid Liu Yifei is the only one in the world who knows a rough idea of ​​it.

So Liu Yifei never even looks at the Hurun Report or Forbes Rich List.

She knew that no matter how they were ranked, the real number one would always be her man.

Everyone thought her husband's wealth was hidden underwater.

Only she, the one who sleeps beside her, knows that everyone has been deceived by her husband.

Their family’s real wealth is Bitcoin, which was created in 2009 and publicly traded in 2010.

She only found out about this after she got married. She didn’t take it seriously at first until 2013.
That day, when Gulinaga complimented her on her endless money, it was not really a compliment, but a fact.

Every artist of Rongchen knows the iron rule that Rongchen artists do not accept variety shows or movies.

But no one expected that the news would come out from Meng Ziyi's mouth.

Southern Metropolis Daily reported

"Rong Chen's Iron Rule: Industry secrets that newcomers let slip."

"Just as the public opinion about variety shows and movies was fermenting, Rongchen newcomer Meng Ziyi was exposed to have revealed to a friend: The first lesson of the company's training said that if you dare to take variety shows and movies, you will be put on ice."

"Filmmakers in the industry have come out to express their opinions. Jin Yimeng said: When making movies is faster than selling pancakes, we should be vigilant."

“Peace: One movie every seven days, making filmmakers feel ashamed!”

"The producers of Dad 2 issued a statement overnight: Parent-child interaction is also a form of film art!"

Meng Ziyi was shaking with fear. Why did she slip up?

Now the company has been dragged into this whirlpool of public opinion, and it is still unknown how the company will deal with her.

Rong Chen's group of artists went wild.

One after another, everyone tagged Meng Ziyi in the WeChat group, followed by a bunch of 'thumbs-up' emoticons.

In the crew of "Eternal Love", Meng Ziyi's scenes are about to be finished, and Reba and Lin Gengxin are very happy.

"Ahhh! It's over, it's over! I'm done for now! Big brothers and big sisters, you're still laughing! The boss is going to eat me up now!"

Reba chuckled: "Don't worry, the boss doesn't like to eat people!"

Lin Gengxin nodded and said, "That's right, the boss always kills people without leaving any trace! Considering your young age, maybe you can leave an intact body!"

Meng Ziyi cried, "Do you have any sympathy at all? I got into such a big trouble and you didn't even try to comfort me! I don't know how the boss will punish me!"

Reba walked to Meng Ziyi, hugged her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, based on my understanding of the boss, as long as Sister Fei asks, you will be fine. Send Sister Fei a WeChat message quickly."

Meng Zi also seemed to hear heavenly sounds: "Yes! Why didn't I think of it."

-

Liu Yifei had already spoken for Meng Ziyi at this time.

"When did I ever say anything like hiding an artist? This Meng Ziyi really talks faster than she thinks!" Under the parasol by the swimming pool of the Yalong Bay villa, Li Chen said to Liu Yifei with a helpless smile.

"Forget it, Zi Yi's personality is quite suitable for Qu Xiaoxiao!" Liu Yifei, wearing a pair of burgundy butterfly sunglasses and a bright yellow bubble skirt, was browsing Weibo with interest.

"Look, many people are teasing her on Weibo. I guess she's scared too." Liu Yifei handed the phone to Li Chen and said with a smile.

Li Chen took a quick look and saw that most of the artists from Rong Chen's faction were teasing this junior sister.

Li Chen snorted: "I'll add fuel to the fire!"

"What are you doing!" Liu Yifei sat up straight from the recliner and saw her husband pick up his mobile phone and log into Weibo.

"Sister Meng @孟紫亦, when did Rongchen have an iron rule to hide artists? How come I didn't know about it? Did you usurp the throne?"

When Liu Yifei saw the Weibo post her husband sent, she found it funny, but she immediately understood her husband's intention.

Meng Ziyi's revelations will indirectly give the outside world the impression that Rong Chen is self-admiring and is hyping himself up by belittling his opponents, which is detrimental to Rong Chen's brand image.

It will also give the outside world the illusion that Rong Chen is on Feng Xiaogang's side.

What's more, in a sense, the emergence of variety shows can also enhance filmmakers' sense of crisis. After all, there are only two or three movies every year, and only one or even none of them can become a hit.

The husband jokingly called her "Sister Meng", which cleverly resolved the small crisis.

Liu Yifei also became interested and prepared to join in the fun.

Who knew Zhou Xun was faster! The hot comments were occupied by @周讯 in the first second: "'Meng Jie' added this item to the manual overnight [laughing and crying]!"

Everyone knew that Li Chen was teasing Meng Ziyi, but even Li Chen called Meng Ziyi "Sister Meng", and now netizens and Rong Chen's artists were like a chain reaction.

Yang Siwei was on the phone giving Meng Ziyi a lecture. As soon as she hung up, Reba laughed out loud while holding the phone: "Look, look, the boss has replied to you, Sister Meng, you're going to be famous!"

Before Meng Ziyi recovered from Yang Siwei's "education", she saw that her Weibo followers increased by 20,000 in a short time, and the company's big shots were teasing her.

Even the boss got involved and called her "Sister Meng"!
Meng Ziyi wanted to die: "Oh my god! The boss called me 'Sister Meng', am I dead?"

Lin Gengxin smiled gloatingly: "Life and death are unpredictable. As far as I know, the only person in the circle that the boss has called sister is Zhang Manyu, the goddess of man. Even Gongli doesn't have the qualifications. 'Sister Meng'! You have the qualifications to become a god!"

Meng Ziyi rolled her eyes: "Oh my god!"

Under Meng Ziyi's Weibo, celebrities and netizens joined the "Sister Meng" battle group and it soon became a hot topic.

On the hot search, "Sister Meng" was followed by the bright red word "explosion".

@杨蜜: "I finally know why I only had one scene in The Legend of the Condor Heroes when I was five years old. It turns out that I was hidden by Sister Meng." Meng Ziyi was so sad that she could not even cry. She replied to Yang Mi with trepidation: "Sister Mi, I hadn't been reincarnated yet at that time!"

Then he quickly replied to Li Chen, sending a series of emojis of people being sealed and hammers hitting their heads, and added: "Brother, are you serious? Just call me Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng is fine. I swear, there is absolutely no such thing as hiding it in Rongchen's iron rules."

Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei showed up in the blink of an eye.

@刘一菲: "Sister Meng, Brother Chen just told me that when he retires, he will hand over the company to you!"

“Hahahaha” Dilraba Dilmurat, Lin Gengxin and other crew members burst into laughter.

Meng Ziyi was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

As Liu Yifei joined the battle, Meng Ziyi's Weibo became more lively.

Netizens and fans of the beauty became even more excited.

"Sister Meng has touched the boss lady's cake!"

"Rongchen's No.1 sister turned out to be Sister Meng!"

Meng Ziyi hurriedly replied to Liu Yifei: "Sister, even if I have a hundred courages, I would not dare to usurp the throne. Please let me go!"

Meng Ziyi spent the whole night in anxiety.

If Liu Yifei hadn't sent her a WeChat message at the end, telling her that the boss wasn't that angry this time, but she should be more careful next time.

I'm afraid she will have sleepless nights.

The next morning, the hot searches on Weibo were still related to her. Meng Ziyi was surprised to find that her Weibo followers increased by 200 million overnight.

It was just like filming a hit TV series.

"Oh my God, is this true?" Meng Ziyi rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong.

But the messages from "Sister Meng" under her Weibo cannot be fake.

She even made headlines because of it.

"Meng Ziyi's popularity has skyrocketed, with her Weibo followers increasing by 200 million in a single day!"

Meng Ziyi was in a daze when Yang Siwei called.

Meng Ziyi quickly answered: "Sister!"

Yang Siwei smiled and said, "You are so lucky. It's a blessing in disguise. The boss didn't blame you. He even went out with Yifei to build momentum for you."

Meng Ziyi was not stupid after all: "Sister, you mean that the boss and Sister Fei did it on purpose."

Yang Siwei said, "What do you think? Otherwise, how did you get those 200 million fans? The company got you three endorsements!"

"Your character of 'Sister Meng' has been set. Don't be embarrassed. The boss calls you Sister Meng. I think I will have to change my way of addressing you from now on. Sister Meng!"

With a bang, Meng Ziyi's cell phone fell directly to the ground.

-

Wang Zhonglei was a little impressed by Li Chen this time. No one expected Feng Xiaogang to open fire. The two brothers had never been able to control Feng Xiaogang.

This guy can say whatever he wants to say, after all, he is the barometer of Huayi!
But when he saw the two shows "Where Are We Going, Dad?" and "Running Man" competing against each other, Wang Zhonglei was happy to sit back and watch the fight.

Especially when Meng Ziyi suddenly revealed Rong Chen’s iron rule, wasn’t this a slap in the face to Mango?

Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the shameless Li Chen would resolve this small incident with just one word "Sister Meng".

He completely separated himself and Rong Chen from the competition, and now it became a battle between Feng Xiaogang, Heping and others and variety shows and movies.

Li Chen’s attitude was very clear: you guys, Mango and Litchi, can shoot variety shows and movies, but Rong Chen won’t, and neither will Rong Chen’s artists.

As for the debate, don't bother me.

A person who started out making sketch movies is questioning variety shows and wants to drag me into this. Feng Xiaogang, you treat everyone else as fools.

Within two days, Feng Xiaogang's attacks escalated.

Mango saw that Rong Chen stayed out of the matter and was not lenient with Feng Xiaogang.

Not only did he personally refute Feng Xiaogang, he also brought in official media to support him.

Feng Xiaogang is not called the Little Cannon for nothing. He was even more excited when the official media reported on him.

Sarcastically satirizing the official media.

"If attitude determines everything, then taking five or six days to shoot a movie means that one has already lost sincerity in terms of attitude. How can one talk about respecting the audience and RMB? Of course, it is reasonable for RMBB to respect RMB!"

Li Chen and Liu Yifei were dumbfounded. They thought, "This guy must be crazy, satirizing the official media like this."

Meng Ziyi was still frightened at this time, and secretly warned herself to think before speaking in the future, especially about company matters.

The official media is not easy to deal with. Even Zhang Yimou and Li Chen may not give them face, let alone Xiao Gangpao.

Feng Xiaogang was refuted on the same day.

"Whether it's a variety show or a non-variety show, they are all cultural industries and must respect RMB. Doesn't your Lunar New Year film, Director Feng, respect RMB?"

"The spliced-together version of the skit and the expanded version of the movie lack real awareness of problems and concern for the present world!"

Li Chen suddenly realized that Feng Xiaogang played a good hand. He should be preparing for "Youth" and Dongyang Mela.

Establish an image for yourself as a filmmaker with aspirations and ideals.

RMB he doesn't like? Don't be ridiculous
If someone else spoke up about this kind of thing, Li Chen might have come to his aid.

But Li Chen was too lazy to even take a second look at people like Feng Xiaogang and Heping.

-

Liu Yifei is the person who knows Li Chen best. She can tell what Li Chen is thinking just by looking at his movements.

"Do you want 'Sister Meng' to go the variety show route?" Early in the morning, the couple got up, had breakfast, and then held hands and walked along the Yalong Bay beach to help digest the food.

"It depends on her own choice. She has good plasticity."

Liu Yifei nodded and changed the subject, "I wonder how Teacher Tian and Yunyun will perform at the Berlin premiere today?"

She is feeling a bit conflicted right now. She hopes that "I Am Not Madame Bovary" will be a success, but she is also a bit scared.

Li Chen smiled and said, "We'll know tonight."

Before evening, a piece of news became a hot topic, and soon after, the director of the Spring Festival Gala program team called Li Chen.

It turned out that the show starring Lu Han and Wu Yifan was cancelled.

Li Chen was not surprised. What became a hot topic was a statement from SM, saying that it would sue Wu Yifan.

Qi Jianhong, Wang Zhonglei and Wu Yifan were all shocked.

The statement mentioned that in addition to suing Wuyifan, they would also sue Yaolai, Huayi and the Spring Festival Gala program team!
"Why is Lu Han not included? Why are you suing me alone?" Wu Yifan was angry with his agent.

Wang Zhonglei and Qi Jianhong had gloomy faces and said nothing.

The Spring Festival Gala has passed the three reviews. At this juncture, SM released these things. Isn’t it obvious that they don’t want Wu Yifan to appear on the Spring Festival Gala!
There was no mention of Lu Han’s name, so it went without saying that it must be Li Chen who was behind this.

On the other side, Lu Han was also depressed.

The next day, at the instruction of Yang Siwei, a Weibo post was posted as a response.

"I'm very happy to be able to go through the rehearsal. To be honest, I feel a little disappointed that I can't stick to it until the end. I'm sorry to have caused trouble to everyone."

"I will work harder in the future and believe that our tomorrow will be better. I will watch the Spring Festival Gala with my family on New Year's Eve."

After Lu Han posted the Weibo, she sent a WeChat message to Yang Siwei: "Sister, there is really no chance this year."

Yang Siwei only replied with two words: "Next year!"
