Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 850 The Richest Man (Part 1)

Having already won Best Screenplay and Best Director, Liu Yifei doesn't actually want "Parasite" to win any awards for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, or Best Supporting Actress.

After all, the more awards you win, the greater the subconscious chance of missing out on the final grand prize.

The celestial beings have long since descended to earth.

Perhaps the heavens heard the celestial being's heartfelt wish, because afterwards, the performance awards really had nothing to do with "Parasite".

Until the very last award, Best Picture.

At that moment, countless people in the scene sat up straight.

Cheng Long, wearing black-rimmed glasses; Leonardo DiCaprio, dressed in a suit; Nicole Kidman, who is taller than a supermodel; and Liu Yifei, who exudes queen-like aura, all held their breath.

But in the distant ancient country of the East, the person involved remained calm and unperturbed.

After all, he wasn't after a trophy when he entered this industry.

He dedicated his life to beautiful women, and now he is hailed as a god in the Chinese film industry.

With unparalleled honors and box office success, he could turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist, and any move he made could bring down a behemoth in the eyes of an artist or make it vanish into thin air.

He and Liu Yifei are even known in the industry as a perfect couple.

Therefore, when the host announced the title of "Parasite," Li Chen simply smiled and let it go.

She picked up her younger son, took her older son's hand, and went out for a walk.

But at this moment, the Oscar audience didn't care whether it was the ghosts or the yellow-skinned, black-eyed Chinese; everyone stood up and applauded thunderously.

The person involved did not come, but his wife was present.

All the congratulations and celebrations poured in for the Queen.

Liu Yifei felt as if she had come today to be crowned and worshipped.

"Yifei, congratulations." Chenglong was the only exception at the scene. What made him an exception was his black hair, black-rimmed glasses, black Zhongshan suit, and black leather shoes.

"Thank you, brother!"

"Crystal!"

"Crystal!"

Many foreigners who were familiar with Liu Yifei lined up to hug and kiss her on the cheek.

On the contrary, very few people congratulated Li Meijing and the others.

This made South Koreans feel extremely embarrassed.

Disney executives were also live-streaming at that moment.

Looking around, all I could see were white people.

Everyone was in a similar pose, smoking cigars and clapping.

I just feel like Mulan is simply the chosen one.

"(British) I said from the beginning that choosing her wouldn't be a mistake!"

"In China, she was the only right choice!"

"Unexpectedly, Li gave us a big gift, actually erasing the previous Mulan. Hahaha."

"Universal and Legendary are such idiots. Why didn't they choose Li for their co-production? Why did they choose LeEco? It's no wonder that their movie 'The Great Wall' lost money!"

It turns out that at this time, "The Great Wall" only grossed 11 billion RMB in China and 3300 million USD in North America, resulting in a loss of 7500 million USD, or about 5.17 million RMB, for the production company.

Disney was naturally happy to see the joke.

At this point, Weibo in China crashed again. Users found that the webpage was inaccessible and they couldn't leave comments. Of course, users were used to it. After all, everyone knows that Weibo's major shareholders are also a source of instability for the platform.

On Douyin, Liu Yifei's queen-like red carpet walk was accompanied by various background music tracks!

Currently, Douyin's overseas version has been online for six months and has exceeded 200 million users.

Liu Yifei's net worth has surged again, and industry insiders estimate that this year's Hurun and Forbes lists are very likely to produce a female richest person.

The most popular video on Douyin is Liu Yifei walking the red carpet with a queen's shawl, accompanied by the Russian Ekaterina's battle song "Hall On Ming"!
The top two trending topics are both about the couple.

Li Chen has gone from winning the Palme d'Or, the Golden Lion, and the Silver Bear since his debut to now winning an Oscar, becoming the first person in the history of Chinese-language films to achieve this feat.

Liu Yifei and the "Parasite" team went on stage together. Li Meijing and others stood next to Liu Yifei, looking like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

The Beijing Film Academy was the first to hang up banners, and the congratulatory announcement on the school's online forum seemed to have been prepared in advance.

The official Weibo accounts of Rongchen Pictures, Youku, and Yixin Media, as well as artists from the Rongchen Group and the vast majority of artists in the Chinese film industry, all reposted the real-time news released by Rongchen Pictures' official Weibo account on Weibo.

"Congratulations to director Li Chen for winning the Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Picture, becoming the first Chinese filmmaker and the first Asian filmmaker to receive this honor in the history of Chinese-language cinema!"

Following closely, China Film Group, China Radio International, and the evening news broadcast that day all included the breaking news of Li Chen setting a new record in the Chinese film industry.

Han Sanping tried calling Li Chen several times, but the line was always busy, so he simply went to the set of "Raging Storm" to wait for him.

As soon as they arrived on set, Han Sanping took it upon himself to grant the entire "Raging Storm" crew another half-day off on behalf of Li Chen.

"Everyone go to the bureau today. The bureau chief is representing the higher-ups to celebrate Li Chen's achievements. Not one of you can be left out."

Jiang Wen chuckled and said, "I always go to meetings at the bureau, this is the first time I've had a meal at the bureau!"

When Li Chen received Han Sanping's WeChat message, he could only accept it because he couldn't refuse.

“You’re going to the Oscars dinner, and I’m going to the General Administration’s dinner. Let’s each do our own thing!” Li Chen was on the phone with his wife on his way to the bureau.

"You should drink less alcohol," Liu Yifei hurriedly advised.

-

Some are happy while others are sad. The projects mainly controlled by Rongchen Films achieved a total box office revenue of over 155 billion last year.

其中《美人鱼》37亿、《魔童降世》49亿、《羞羞的铁拳》28亿、《云南虫谷》25亿、《不二情书》8.5亿位列前五。

In contrast, Feng Xiaogang, whom Huayi bought back for 10.5 billion yuan, was immediately reinstated to his starting position.

"If You Are the One 3" only grossed 1.5 million yuan at the box office.

As soon as the Spring Festival was over, the "Youth" project was launched without delay.

"Brother, life's tough!"

"Rong Chen has taken up all the good release slots in China right now. If 'Youth' is released during the Lunar New Year holiday, it will probably be besieged!"

"Yes, it seems that the most relaxed release window this year is the summer season, and Rong Chen's company only has one film, 'Wolf Warrior 2' starring Wu Jing!"

"By the end of the year, 'Wanxiang Island 2' and 'The Return of the South China Sea' will probably rake in at least 60 billion yuan at the box office! But 'Youth' won't even make it in the summer season!"

The two brothers, Da Wang and Xiao Wang, looked worried and distressed.

Jia Yueting, the founder of LeEco, boasted that LeEco had a market value of 600 billion yuan and that he was worth 200 billion yuan, but then turned to the new energy vehicle industry.

It seems they want to adapt the two brothers into a film or television series.

"Hopefully, 'The Demons Strike Back' can gross three or four billion yuan during the summer season, so we can catch our breath!"

“What Fan Bingbing said is that once ‘Youth’ is finished filming, ‘Cell Phone 2’ should be started immediately!” Wang Zhongjun added.

"Of course she's fine with it. When she heard that we were willing to put aside past grievances and even cast her as the female lead in 'Cellphone 2,' she was eager to sign on the spot. Rong Chen isn't paying attention to her right now, so she doesn't have any good resources!" Wang Zhonglei laughed.
