Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 770 I and Li Chen are sworn enemies
Sina Entertainment News

"The Year of the Goat has already started in full swing, and this year's Spring Festival movie schedule is even more lively, with nine blockbusters set to premiere on the first day of the Lunar New Year, showing how fierce the competition is."

"In order to get a good start for the film, the film producers are also using various tricks to promote it, and Weibo has become a marketing powerhouse for fierce competition."

"On New Year's Eve, Chow Yun Fat opened a Weibo account with "God of Macau 2". In addition to sending Weibo to greet netizens, he also sent out 20 cash red envelopes for four consecutive days to give fans benefits."

"The movie 'Where Are We Going, Dad 2' also gave fans 6 yuan in cash red envelopes, and dads such as Louis [Weibo], Yang Wei [Weibo], Huang Lei [Weibo], and Cao Ge [Weibo] also launched a joint red envelope."

"More than 3000 million fans participated in the event and forwarded nearly 10 red envelope Weibo messages with movie information."

Southern Metropolis Entertainment Weekly reported
"The newly released "Zhong Kui: Snow Demon and the Dark Crystal" has become Li Bingbing's most beautiful movie in history. She calls it the only work that relies on her looks to make a living."

"It takes time to become a 'beauty queen' like Li Bingbing. Not only does she have to have an aura that looks down on the world and a youthful and fresh face, but more importantly, she has scheming that is everywhere."

Zhou Runfa gave out red envelopes and Li Bingbing admitted that he only had his teeth done during plastic surgery, which were all very popular topics.

"Chinese Police 2" naturally also has it, Chenglong stood up and said: I didn't use any connections to rescue him!

Even though the subject matter of "Chinese Police 2" was not the most popular during the Spring Festival, relying on the reputation accumulated from the first film and Rong Chen's brand, it unexpectedly surpassed "The Man from Macau 2" and won the box office championship on the first day of the Spring Festival.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Rongchen Pictures naturally had some benefits to send out. Li Chen called Cao Guowei in advance to prevent his Weibo from being ruined on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

One by one they are giving out red envelopes and talking about plastic surgery. Li Chen always feels that something is missing during the Spring Festival if he doesn't give these people a dimensionality reduction blow.

Just in time for the low ratings of the Spring Festival Gala, Rongchen’s official Weibo account released a set of Liu Yifei’s cool blockbusters and a trailer for her new film, which immediately topped the entertainment headlines and Weibo hot search list as soon as they were released.

She truly shows the outside world what the absolute top stream is. No matter whether it is a movie or a TV series, as long as it is related to her, it will be the absolute focus.

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Rongchen Pictures made a major official announcement: Liu Yifei returns to the modern urban drama "Ode to Joy" after 12 years, and the black veil deep V blockbuster has set the entire network on fire."

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Rongchen Pictures' official Weibo account released a set of stunning visual blockbusters. The boss lady Liu Yifei made a stunning appearance in a black gauze deep V dress, with the caption: Breaking the Boundary, Rebirth!"

"It is officially announced that this 'costume professional' will return to the stage of modern drama after 12 years! She will play the role of Andy, a tall, beautiful, and elegant senior business elite who returned from New York and an executive of an investment company."

"As soon as the news came out, topics such as #Liu Yifei's modern drama# and #The Fairy of Wall Street# instantly dominated the hot search list."

Since playing Bai Xiuzhu in "The Story of a Noble Family" in 2003, Liu Yifei's TV drama resume can be described as a 'costume chronicle'!
Zhao Linger in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" in 2005, Xiaolongnu in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" in 2006, Zhao Paner in "Dream of Red Mansions" in 2011, and Sheng Minglan in "The Story of Minglan" in 2014.

Especially the ratings of the last two parts lead the way among all the costume dramas.

The most crucial thing is that costume dramas are now the trend. Even though the China Media Group has restricted the quota for costume dramas, the film producers, major satellite TV stations and online video platforms are still flocking to them.

Li Chen's move seems to be a bit like "being rich and doing the opposite".

But it is obvious that the effect is outstanding, and netizens, fans of Tianxian and big Vs from various media have come out to interpret and leave comments.

"Leo is creating collective nostalgia with 'the first modern drama in 12'!"

"The financial elite character fills the gap in the urban market. Rongchen Pictures has not forgotten its original intention and is an industry benchmark that dares to innovate!"

Ever since "Ode to Joy" began dominating the trending searches, sales of physical books on all major platforms have been wiped out.

In just one hour, all the characters in the series became hot searches.

The various brokerage companies in the circle then realized that this was completely an ensemble drama, and no longer a costume drama with a strong female lead like "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Knowing Your Destiny".

Liu Yifei was in trouble. She encountered difficulties on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Shu Chang has his eyes on Qu Xiaoxiao, Yang Mi has her eyes on Fan Shengmei, not to mention other actresses he has worked with before, such as Jiang Xin and Liu Tao.

It was easy to deal with other people, and they all pushed the blame onto their husbands.

But how does her best friend Shu Chang promote it?
"What should I do? Changchang has taken a fancy to Qu Xiaoxiao!" Liu Yifei knew that her husband had given this role to Meng Ziyi.

Li Chen laughed and blurted out: "She is old, why would she play Qu Xiaoxiao!"

As soon as he said this, he felt that something bad was going to happen. Wasn't this a disguised way of complaining about the age of the Hedong Lion next to him?

Shu Chang is a few months younger than her!

As expected, Liu Yifei came up to him with a bad look on her face, hugged Li Chen's neck in an intimate manner, and said with a half-smile: "Do you think I can only play Andy at my age?"

Li Chen pretended not to understand, patted his wife on the hip and said with a smile: "You are kidding! If I asked you to play Andy, I was afraid that you couldn't act the age of a woman in her 30s. You are so young!"

Li Chen touched his wife's face again and laughed.

"It's not that Shu Chang can't play Qu Xiaoxiao, but you played the 31-year-old Andy, so Qu Xiaoxiao must be at least six or seven years younger than you, don't you think?"

Liu Yifei frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

Li Chen continued: "Although the age difference can be changed through makeup, it is still not suitable. Please ask her to give up this idea. I will remember her if there is a suitable role in the future."

Liu Yifei nodded, unable to find any reason to refute.

"What about Mimi? She told me that she has never appeared in the same frame with me since The Return of the Condor Heroes. Her words were very sincere!"

"Promise her."

"Ah?" Liu Yifei was very surprised, not because the role was originally given to Jiang Shuying and now suddenly given to Yang Mi.

But my husband agreed a little too easily.

"She also told me that the role of Fan Shengmei was given to her, and she would never mention my promise to reserve a role for her in my movie again."

Liu Yifei said "Oh".

"It seems that the 4.1 million bet has made Mimi a little confused." Liu Yifei thought, the role in her husband's movie and Fan Shengmei's role are very different.

Yang Mi probably felt that her husband's promise was a long way off, so she was anxious to cash in.

-

"Really?" Yang Mi felt relieved when she received Liu Yifei's call.

"What good will it do me if I lie to you! You, a big honey, are pretending to be pitiful in front of me, and at the same time you are complaining to your senior. You are doing both at once!" Liu Yifei teased with a smile.

Yang Mi laughed: "I can't help it. I have to take care of both of you. It won't be safe if I neglect either of you! Thanks, stinky Xixi!"

"What are you thanking me for? Your senior said that your joining will also help the ratings!"

Yang Mi was surprised and asked, "Did the senior really say that?"

"I'm too lazy to reply you!"

Yang Mi laughed, hung up the phone, and called Zeng Jia back.

"I think the senior and his wife might feel a little sorry for helping us out at Liu Qianqian's party, otherwise they wouldn't have agreed so readily!"

"You're right, Mimi. We don't know when Li Chen's next play will be released. What we need most right now is Rong Chen's project, no matter how big or small! Completing the gambling agreement is our top priority!"

"It's not shameful to ask for help. We are not the only ones asking him for help!" Zeng Jia is more sober than anyone else.

There are many agencies eyeing the "Five Beauties", and there are also many that are eyeing the male protagonists.

Hou Hongliang asked Zhao Qiping to leave for Wang Kai. In the following days, Yang Siwei also received several calls.

Basically, these calls are from the heads of a circle who speak up for their own artists.

Let's wait until the seven-day Spring Festival holiday is over and then we can talk in detail when we meet.

During the Spring Festival, the film and television industry will inevitably focus on the Oscars. Every year, the Oscars red carpet is never short of stars and news.

For example, this year, a few days before, news broke out that Huang Shengyi, who had not been seen for a long time, would attend the Oscars red carpet together with Tom Hanks.

The two will work together to shoot a movie this year. Every year, Chinese actresses who are invited to the red carpet for movies are like a rare species.

People like Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing have all been invited, and among the three, Liu Yifei is the most worthy of the title.

Not only does she have representative works in Hollywood, but her husband is also a world-renowned double-gold director and the behind-the-scenes boss of Chiyou Pictures.

However, no one expected that Huang Shengyi and Yangzi would poop so much this time!
This is even more exaggerated than the time when 'White Snake' was denied entry into Venice due to the negligence of the Italian consulate staff in Shanghai who made a mistake in typing the wrong date on her visa!

Li Chen imagined the scene on the Oscar red carpet that day, and it would probably be as follows.

The doctor at the Los Angeles Emergency Center answered the phone: "What's your name? Where are you?"

"."Yoko dialed the phone and immediately covered Huang Shengyi's mouth, signaling her to be quiet.

Huang Shengyi then looked like she had lost all hope in life, and she said to herself, "I am too weak to speak! Help! Help!"

Immediately afterwards, an extremely embarrassing scene occurred.

Half an hour before the red carpet began, Huang Shengyi was taken away by the Los Angeles Emergency Center.

This also set a Guinness record.

Previously, only a handful of Chinese actresses had attended the Oscars red carpet.

The only one who missed the Oscars red carpet completely is Huang Shengyi.

I'm afraid Zhou Xingchi regrets why he chose such a stupid person as a star girl.

Cao Guowei also revealed some information to Li Chen.

According to Lao Cao, Yangzi is making a fool of Sina Entertainment this time.

Since then, both of them have been blacklisted by Sina Entertainment.

For Huang Shengyi's Oscar red carpet show, Yoko and their Sina Entertainment exclusively contracted to film the entire process of Huang Shengyi's preparations for the red carpet.

As a result, when they arrived at the scene, they found that the luggage had been stolen and had been airlifted from all over the country. Sina Entertainment witnessed the entire "case process"!
Bullshit that has nothing to do with the red carpet.

From beginning to end, Sina Entertainment never met Huang Shengyi herself, only her staff contacted Sina Entertainment.

Even Yoko was not seen.

The initial reason was that Huang Shengyi had diarrhea and enteritis, and then a magical cocktail therapy came about.

Instead of seeing a doctor, he drank cocktails to treat enteritis and diarrhea.

This wave of operations is unprecedented. Yoko’s explanation was that the doctor was in surgery and could not come!

Well, in short, no matter what reason you can't think of, Yoko can think of it for you.

It is said that Huang Shengyi's former agent revealed that he had been fired by Yoko a long time ago, and now Yoko herself is Huang Shengyi's agent.

In the end, the official Oscar process was exposed, and Tom Hanks was not included at all.

If the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached? Then there will naturally be no Huang Shengyi.

By the way, Huang Shengyi’s drama "Love You, Thousand Threads" will premiere on Mango TV next month.

Yoko's series of moves at least brought about this long-awaited new drama by Huang Shengyi.

This means that this fashion drama, in which Huang Shengyi insisted on refusing to shoot a real kissing scene, had not been completed during the Oscars red carpet.

But it will be on Mango TV next month.

Huang Shengyi and Yoko's appearance on the Oscar red carpet was after they asked for four days off from the crew of "Love, Green Silk".

Yoko revealed that when Huang Shengyi was on the crew, he already had mild enteritis and often suffered from vomiting and diarrhea.

How dare you take an international long-distance flight when you often suffer from vomiting and diarrhea?
That’s right, there are toilets on the plane, so you don’t have to worry about pooping in your crotch.

Yoko insisted that she had an invitation letter, but when she took out the invitation letter, she was instantly slapped in the face by netizens.

The date of the invitation letter was actually January 2014, 1.

Yoko had more to say: "It's a typo! It's a typo! I warned you not to talk nonsense! I will sue you for 'libel', you know that!"

Yoko is indeed the first Chinese to play the Oscars in this way.

For the sake of ratings, the Oscars don't care about Yoko's sensationalism.

Anyway, it's a disgrace to Chinese-language filmmakers, and it can also attract the attention of Tokyo University.

However, Li Chen couldn't bear to see Yangzi's stupid behavior that brought shame upon the country.

Li Chen called Dong Qing who was studying at the University of Southern California.

The two met because of the Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Horse and have kept in touch since then.

When Dong Qing heard that Li Chen wanted to borrow her Oscars photo, she immediately laughed and said, "Boss Li, are you borrowing the photo to target Miss Huang?"

Dong Qing is very smart. Yesterday's Oscars red carpet was full of excitement, but she still hasn't had time to upload her Oscar materials.

In fact, she knew in her heart that there was no need for Li Chen to call her, he could just use it directly.

"Don't worry, I'm just giving you a thumbs up. I won't make it difficult for you."

Dong Qing paused and smiled: "Well, who made me owe Mr. Li a favor!"

"This year's Oscars, like the Spring Festival Gala, had horribly low ratings. My colleague told me a few days ago that I was blessed by Mr. Li."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Dong Qing hung up the phone and sent a few of her own materials to Li Chen.

Li Chen asked Tim Smith to confirm with the Oscar officials whether Huang Shengyi was there.

Liu Yifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you going to do now?"

Li Chen said casually: "I want to take advantage of the Oscars' popularity."

On the 24th, a Weibo post by Li Chen instantly broke down Yangzi's defenses!

"There are only two types of invitations I receive every year: one is from Hollywood directors I am familiar with, and the other is from several professional companies hired by the Oscars."

"People like Ms. Dong who were invited by director Richard Anderson to participate belong to the former category, and there is a process sheet available for reference."

"It's diarrhea and enteritis, but there's no need to work so hard."

"You don't even have the right to announce the red carpet lineup and your partners, so why bother flying around and making a fool of yourself?"

"Once you have some real works and are well-known, the professional company hired by Oscar will send you letters every year!"

The Oscar officials seemed to have a very good understanding with Li Chen, as Li Chen’s Weibo post was published less than an hour later.

The Oscar officials also gave a positive response to Huang Shengyi's red carpet Rashomon incident, and they took Huang Shengyi's face into consideration by not directly exposing Yangzi's tricks.

"The Oscars organizing committee generally does not directly send invitations to celebrities, politicians, senior executives of major film and television companies, and senior executives of major brands."

"Huang Shengyi was only invited to the movie "The Bombing" as an actor this time, and she does not have the right to announce, confirm or deny the film's cast and red carpet partners."

"Ah! Li Chen and I will never reconcile!" A heart-wrenching wail was heard from a suite in the Peninsula Hotel in Los Angeles.
