Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 772: Vientiane Changes Role
During this year's two exchange sessions, reporters seemed to have reached a tacit understanding.

Li Chen thought he was the only one being asked about the cutting of the character Empress Wu.

When I got home and Miss Liu asked me about it, I gave a truthful answer.

In the final analysis, this matter was caused by the General Administration changing its orders every day. Because a senior cadre made a suggestion, "Empress Wu" was cut into a big-headed doll.

"What on earth did you say?"

"To be honest, censorship should not be determined by the leaders' likes and dislikes. If rules yield to power, then there is no point in having rules."

Liu Yifei was speechless: "Is this what you mean by not firing?"

Li Chen laughed loudly, hugged Miss Liu and comforted her, "When it comes to your husband's situation, every word you say must be powerful. If you don't say it, you have to hit the pain point."

Liu Yifei was stunned, as if she understood something, but she was still worried all night.

But when she read the news the next day, she found out that her husband was not the only one who was asked this question.

"During this year's two exchange meetings, many representatives were asked the same question when they were interviewed by the media."

"What do you think about the fact that the Empress of China was cut from the TV series?"

"Of course! The matter is not just so superficial... Peel off the vivid surface of the topic, in fact, this is a question about my country's film and television drama censorship system caused by "disabled breasts"."

"Li Chen, a serious critic, said: "Reviews should not be determined by the leader's likes and dislikes. If rules yield to power, then the rules will be meaningless."

"Direct questioner Chen Daoming: What was the purpose of the review in the first place? It put you in a very passive position."

"Zhao Dongling, the gentle answerer: The bureau is also helpless, but we still hope that once it is approved, it will not be easily modified, because there will always be people who make comments on a work, and we cannot be shaken just because of this person with high power."

"Director Kai Ge seems much more relaxed: film rating is not something that one can decide. I can only say that one should have expectations and faith in life. This is my attitude."

When Liu Yifei saw the last message, she became unhappy again.

"Look at what Director Chen said!"

"He also denounced drug addicts, but he still said one thing and did another just to get the Taoist priest to come down from the mountain."

"Uh, you!" Liu Yifei was speechless after hearing what her husband said.

Li Chen quickly smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, even if I have offended some people, I have also gained the appreciation of some people, for example..." Li Chen pointed to the ceiling!
Liu Yifei was a little bit unbelieving: "Are you talking about that big guy?"

Li Chen nodded slightly
Li Chen was not actually willing to be at the forefront of everything, but his sharp words and fearlessness of what others said had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

If you don't dare to speak up and just follow what others say, your glorious image will probably collapse in an instant.

This is probably what is meant by "Once you enter the world, you have no choice."

Among the artists of Rongchen School, Yang Siwei @ed everyone.

"I remind you that NDA (non-disclosure agreement) is not signed in vain, especially Sister Meng. If you make a mistake again this time, it will not be as simple as being hidden away!"

"When appropriate, the company will release the news to the public."

Meng Ziyi was in tears and sent out an emoji package with the words "sealed" and "shivering".

In a small group of three people: Meng Ziyi, Reba and Zhao Liying.

Meng Zi also sent a message: "I won't live in the dormitory now that school has started, so as to avoid leaking secrets in my sleep and being used as a scapegoat by Sister Wei!"

Reba: "Sister Meng is Sister Meng. She immediately found a legitimate reason to move out of the dormitory."

Zhao Liying: "Were you talking in your sleep last time? I thought you really let it slip."

Meng Ziyi: “.”

Reba: "Sister Dao, among all the friends in the company, I admire you and Yunyun the most. Your finishing moves always make people unable to tell whether they are intentional or not."

Zhao Liying: "Ah, I said it wrong again."

While Yang Siwei began to promote auditing and due diligence, he also began to prepare for the launch of "Ace vs. Ace".

When Jia Ling heard that his partner was Shen Teng and that it was Yi Xin Media’s latest variety show project, he immediately agreed.

Yi Xin has launched a total of three variety shows, "The Voice of China", "Running Man" and "Idol Coming". All of them were hits.

When Yang Siwei and I met, it was like two fat men meeting each other, and we felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

"Okay, Mr. Yang found me, I can't be ungrateful." Jia Ling laughed.

This year's Spring Festival Gala stage, a sketch "Happy Street" was like a career booster for her, and she received countless variety show invitations.

She has already accepted a role in Oriental TV's "Happy Comedians", and Mango TV's "Ace vs Ace" has also found her.

These programs are all in the first season, and today Yi Xin Media’s "Ace vs. Ace" has set its sights on her again.

Then she can only refuse "Running Man".

"You misunderstood, it's my boss who took a fancy to you!" Yang Siwei said with a smile.

"Ah? Mr. Li likes me?" Jia Ling opened his mouth so wide that a duck egg could almost fit in it.

"No way, could it be because Mr. Yang and I look alike?" Jia Ling joked.

Yang Siwei laughed: "We are thinking the same thing. My boss might like fat people."

"Longling Mystery Cave" was released for 70 days and the box office exceeded 20 billion, becoming the second highest-grossing Chinese-language film after "Vientiane Island".

At the same time, the news of the completion of the online drama "The Lost Tomb" also became a hot topic.

Beijing Times reported
"Rongchen Pictures' annual suspense blockbuster "The Mysterious City" has finished filming, with Pan Yueming leading the exploration of the millennium mystery of the "Ghost Cave Tribe"."

"The super web drama "The Mysterious City" produced by Rongchen Films and directed by Kong Sheng officially wrapped up today at the Yadan Ghost City in Lop Nur."

"The play is adapted from Tianxia Bachang's novel of the same name. Pan Yueming, Jiang Shuying and Zhao Da form the 'archaeological iron triangle'. It is reported that Zhao Da gained 30 kilograms in two months to play the role of Fatty Wang."

"Pan Yueming lost 15 kilograms for the role of Hu Bayi and learned military sign language from the 80s."

"Jiang Shuying plays Shirley Yang, with full English lines and special training in Israeli martial arts."

"This is Rongchen Pictures' first web series, which took 127 days to complete, with extreme filming across deserts, glaciers and underground rivers. It is expected to meet the audience in the summer of 2015."

Compared with the stills released by the production team of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" a few years ago, "The Lost Tomb" is indeed less discussed even with the support of Rongchen Pictures.

After all, the former has two popular young actors and the top star Tang Yan joining.

On the other hand, the latter, Pan Yueming has just made a comeback, Jiang Shuying has only returned to the public eye with her role in "The Blade of the Assassin", and Zhao Da is even more unknown.

Huang Xiaoming’s emotional intelligence as Hu Bayi on the big screen is always online.

Some time ago, Meimei risked her life to perform the famous scene of the director seducing a female star on a variety show, and gained a lot of popularity and reputation.

Although Ai Dajin jumped out to disagree with Huang Xiaoming, saying, "I have never seen anyone who really succeeded by relying on unspoken rules."

But obviously netizens don't buy it.

The TV series "Ghost Blows Out the Light" released a photo of the iron triangle after it was completed. Huang Xiaoming was the first to repost it, and also attached a photo with Pan Yueming.

Comment: Brother Ming, although Xiao Ming is slightly better in appearance, in terms of the degree of fit with the original work and the role, Xiao Ming feels the same
As soon as the Weibo post was released, it was immediately warmly welcomed by netizens and fans of the original novel.

"One of the two brothers from the Ming family conquered me with his looks, and the other seduced me with his temperament."

"This Fatty Wang looks more like a gangster than Jiang Chao's Fatty Wang. Looking forward to it."

"Pan Yueming is so thin that I can hardly recognize her."

Guangxian Lao Wang, one of the producers of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", finally felt that he had won against Li Chen. He called Li Chen and joked: "Brother, I'm sorry, is this considered as using one's own spear to attack one's own shield, hahahaha"

Tang Yan is an artist from Rongchen, but in fact the most eye-catching actors in this drama are Huanrui's Piao Feng and Yang Yang.

After all, he is so handsome that even the original author, Nanpai Sanshu, came out to support him.

But what will happen after it is broadcast is not something that the original author and the old Wang in front of him can predict.

"Brother, aren't you laughing a little too early? Never mind, it's better for you to laugh earlier. I'm used to laughing last." Li Chen said calmly.

"Uh!" Wang Changtian choked. After Li Chen said this, he felt a little unconfident again.

Over the years, Li Chen seems to have never lost.

But when he thought of Yangyang and Li Yifeng, Wang Changtian became confident again.

"Brother, how about we make a bet?"

"Forget it, you want to bet with me? Just think about the 'billion' bet I made with the eight major cinema chains!"

In just one sentence, Lao Wang lost his temper again and no longer mentioned the bet with Li Chen.

Li Chen chuckled, chatted with Wang Changtian for a few more words and then hung up the phone.

I won't mention the prostitute.

Li Chen clearly remembers when "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" was published.

Yang Yang plays the character Zhang Qiling with iron bangs and expressionless face. He has an original hairstyle that is 100% similar to that of an alpaca. He is very popular and has gained many fans.

But the fans of the original novel didn't buy it. Even Nanpai Sanshu couldn't stand the criticism and tried to shift the blame, saying that he had no say.

Piao'Feng' and Yangyang's 'No.1 Brother of Huanrui' are much more exciting than the TV series.

Li Chen remembered that when the series "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" was broadcast, Yangyang's agent seemed to have taken Yangyang away from Huanrui.

Coincidentally, Li Chen had just sent Lao Wang away.

Yang Siwei reported another matter to him.

“Wu Xie?” I heard that Yang Siwei took over the role of Wu Xie in the movie version of “Grave Robbers’ Chronicles” for Lu Han.

Li Chen really couldn't help laughing.

"Is this Nanpai Sanshu casting or making money? Who will play Zhang Qiling?" When Li Chen asked this question, a vague picture already appeared in his mind.

He really hasn't seen this movie.

Yang Siwei was also happy: "Huayi's Jing Bo-ran, boss. I heard that they originally decided on Jing Bo-ran to play Wu Xie, but now seeing that Lu Han was signed to us and will star in "The Demons Strike Back", his popularity is unparalleled, so they temporarily changed Jing Bo-ran's male lead to male second."

After Yang Siwei said this, Li Chen remembered.

Jing Boran's Zhang Qiling was nicknamed "Zhang Qiling on the Mountain" by netizens.

He is wearing a big fur coat from Northeast China, which has nothing to do with the blue hoodie he wears all year round in the original novel. It can be said that this is the biggest deviation from the original novel.

Compared with the Yangyang Zhang Qiling, Li Chen felt that these two were more like the Bai Gu in his early years and the Hei Gu now. Anyway, it was difficult to tell who was who without a close look.

Jing Boran is also interesting. In Monster Hunt, he changed from the second male lead to the first male lead, and in Grave Robbers' Chronicles, he changed from the first male lead to the second male lead.
Li Chen was too lazy to ask how Jing Boran's agent protested.

Lu Han is not a good actor to begin with, and the reason he was signed was because of his popularity. In essence, Nanpai Sanshu's preference for Lu Han was in line with Yang Siwei's original intention of signing Lu Han.

China Film Report
"Rongchen Pictures' hardcore blockbuster "Wolf Warrior" has finished filming, and Wu Jingbo is directing it and it will be released on National Day."

"Today is the Lantern Festival. Rongchen Pictures officially announced that the military action blockbuster "Wolf Warrior" directed and starred by Wu Jing has completed all filming and will be released nationwide on National Day in 2015."

"This hardcore war film, which cost 8000 million yuan to make, was called the Chinese version of The Expendables by the crew. It is also Wu Jing's first work after he became a director."

"It is reported that Wu Jing worked in the army for 18 months for this film, and it took him seven years to carefully create this story of a grassroots character growing up to become a lone hero who saves the fate of the country and the nation."

"It is worth mentioning that the film used active armed helicopters and real foreign mercenaries, and the NJ Military and Political Department assisted in the filming throughout."

As soon as Wu Jing returned to Beijing, he met Li Chen and signed a military order to complete all the post-production work before May 1st.

"Director Li, isn't it a bit risky to schedule the National Day holiday?" Wu Jing asked nervously.

He was full of confidence in "Wolf Tooth" at the beginning, but it ended up being a failure without any splash at all.

The National Day holiday is one of only two seven-day periods in the country, and there will definitely be a lot of big productions targeting this period.

Li Chen smiled and said, "Movies with the word Rong in their names only choose the release date, not the release date."

Wu Jing's scalp tingled. Only the person in front of him didn't sound like bragging. He didn't know what kind of chemical reaction would be produced if his movie "Wolf Warrior" was engraved with the word "Rong" in its title.

With every passing moment, news came that "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", which was originally scheduled for the summer vacation, has also been scheduled for the National Day vacation.

"Tiny Times 2" has He Rundong reshoot the role of Ke Zhendong and is scheduled to be released in the summer.

However, after experiencing the controversy of Ke Zhen and being rejected, the already bad reputation of "Tiny Times" became even more embarrassing.

Perhaps only fans of the original novel will pay attention to the delayed production of "Tiny Times 2".
Li Chen's bold words to comfort Wu Jing were not without purpose.

Lu Chuan’s “Nine-story Demon Tower” is gone, Xu Zheng’s “Lost in Hong Kong” is gone, and Ma Hua’s “Charlotte’s Troubles” is gone.

At present, the most popular movies in the National Day period are "Saving Mr. Wu" and "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", which have just finished shooting, by Andy Lau.
Compared with these two films, "Wolf Warrior" has a clear advantage.

Once the Lantern Festival is over, the Chinese New Year is over.

Rongchen Pictures’ official Weibo account immediately released this year’s film slate.

In addition to the three known dramas, movies are the focus of attention in the industry.

"Detective Chinatown 2", director: Chen Sicheng.

"Blade Master 2", director: Lu Yang.

"The Shameful Iron Fist", director: Song Yang.

"BJ Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter", directed by Xue Xiaolu.

"Vientiane Island 2", director: Wu Bin.

As the film list of Rongchen Pictures was exposed, the news that the director and male and female leading actors of "Vientiane Island 2" were replaced also triggered hot searches.

China Film Report/Hollywood Daily Report

"Rongchen Pictures launches "Vientiane Island 2", insiders reveal that the director and starring actors have been replaced, Wu Bin takes over to create the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas Universe'!"

"Los Angeles/BJ, March 2015, 3, Rongchen Pictures announced today in both China and the United States that the sequel to "Vientiane Island" has been officially approved, but the core team has undergone major adjustments."

"The original director Li Chen was changed to producer, and the director's post was handed over to Wu Bin, the director of "Longling Mystery Cave" and the president of Zhizhen Painting Art under Rong Chen."

"Leonardo Dicaprio and Liu Yifei have confirmed that they will not be returning, and the new lead has sparked speculation among fans around the world."

As soon as the news came out, the first people to get excited were the top celebrities in the domestic entertainment industry.

I didn’t expect that Liu Yifei would no longer play the female lead in “Vientiane Island 2”.

Yang Mi was the most excited and she immediately called Liu Yifei. If she could get the role in "Vientiane Island 2", the pressure of the 4.1 bet would be much easier.

But the call didn't go through.

"I'm afraid Yifei and Li Chen won't answer the phone right now." Zeng Jia saw clearly that even if the role of "Vientiane Island 2" was changed, Yang Mi would not have an advantage.

Compared with Liu Yifei, Yang Mi is not well-known overseas.
