Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 170 Fatty Fan: Li Bingbing, the Loser

In 2004, a person outside the entertainment industry dominated many headlines. His name was Li Houlin.

Li Houlin mainly deals in jewelry and diamond business and has jewelry stores in many places. He is wealthy and young, in his early thirties, and can be considered a diamond bachelor.

When you have money, you naturally want to spend it.

Because his business had some connections with the entertainment industry, Li Houlin gradually got to know many female celebrities and began to pursue them.

Rumor has it that mainland singers Zhou Yanhong, Sun Yue and Wang Siyi, who played Pan Jinlian in the CCTV version of "Water Margin", have all had more or less connections with him or been pursued by him.

However, the real reason why this person made the headlines of the entertainment industry was because of Golden Horse Award winner Qin Hailu and popular host Li Xiang.

It is said that when Qin Hailu and Li Houlin were in love, they broke up abruptly. The latter then got together with Li Xiang and they got married after knowing each other for more than a month.

Qin Hailu not only shed tears during the interview, but also pointed the finger at Li Xiang. As the number one TV host in Hunan Province, Li Xiang was not a pushover and fought back.

Li Houlin sometimes said sorry to Qin Hailu, and sometimes said that Li Xiang was a better woman.

The emotional dispute between the three became one of the biggest entertainment events in 2004.

The shattered love story of the Double J couple in early 2005 and the scandal of Jay Chou falling in love with Patty Hou made love triangles a new hot topic in the entertainment industry.

As the news about Jay Chou was still hot, the "Two Soldiers Fighting for Beauty" incident broke out. The media criticized the chaotic relationships in the entertainment industry while reporting on the incident crazily.

Passersby, netizens and spectators were cursing and watching the show with more enthusiasm than each other.

Sina, Sohu, and NetEase have all opened special pages, and major entertainment media have tried their best to write news. Even Taiwan and Hong Kong media have joined in the fun.

"Two soldiers serving one husband?" Yan Lihao carried Fan in his car for the night, while Li Bingbing couldn't eat the tender grass."

The Bingbing sisters fell out over a quarrel, their beauty and good fortune were envied

Mainland China's love triangle: Jay Chou breathes a sigh of relief

"..."

Yan Li and Fan Xiaopang were observing the situation quietly. Among the three parties involved, Li Bingbing was the first to speak.

To be precise, it was her agent and sister Li Xue who came out to be interviewed and said that her sister was filming and did not understand or care about what was happening outside.

But then an insider revealed that Li Bingbing was not filming, but chose to go out and relax after the incident, and would not accept interviews in the near future.

Someone on Tianya also said that after seeing the news, Li Bingbing went to Fan Xiaopang to ask for an explanation. The two had a conflict and Fan Xiaopang was slapped by Li Bingbing.

"If these two sisters have the guts, they should just come out and step on me."

When Fan Xiaopang called Yan Li, he was very dissatisfied with the post.

She strongly suspected that the Tianya post was written by someone hired by Li Bingbing. How shameless! Even if the two sisters joined forces, they would not be a match for her.

Yan Li was very calm: "I have been very cooperative."

Although it is tacitly acknowledged that the two soldiers are competing for beauty, it is impossible for Li Bingbing to really think of himself as the victim who was pried away.

Shedding tears like Qin Hailu did was indeed excessive and a bit too cowardly, making her easy to be laughed at.

Therefore, the attitude of the two Li sisters is neither to admit nor to deny, and their attitude is ambiguous.

If you don't admit the relationship, you can always make amends and leave.

Not denying it can also help you get a piece of the pie, gain exposure, and wait and see how things develop before taking action.

You can advance and retreat!

"Li Xue's abilities have improved now, and she can handle the size well."

Yan Li felt somewhat relieved. After all, the other party was half his apprentice. Now he was familiar with cooperating with the hype, and had his own ideas and arrangements, so he was ready to go out as a master.

"It sounds nice, but it's just a double-edged sword."

Fan Xiaopang's words are sharp. He wants to expose the love triangle and gain sympathy. However, he doesn't want to be taken advantage of by Fan Xiaopang's "love pressure". He is afraid of getting too deeply involved and is ready to break up at any time.

She disdains this kind of play, and Fan Xiaopang always feels that what Yan Li said is very right.

If you want to make money/become famous, don’t be afraid of being scolded!
Li Bingbing even made the "victim" a little hesitant, but she went all out to take on the "mistress" to get to the top.

Not only is she a "mistress", but if she leaves Huayi later, it can be interpreted as joining her "lover", and she may also be considered as being "kicked out" by Li Bingbing.

At this stage, although the two soldiers have a certain tacit understanding, they have also "fallen out".

Li Bingbing will no longer treat her as a good sister and will not show mercy. Even if the Li sisters hold back, Li's fans will not let her go.

Fan Xiaopang wants to continue the battle between the two soldiers and win big in the love field.

"If you ask me, just publicly announce that you're switching jobs to Yi An. That's guaranteed to add fuel to the fire."

Fatty Fan was eager to try, but Yan Li reassured her: "Don't worry."

Let’s put Wang Jinghua aside. Yan Li is openly poaching people, so Huayi may not let them go.

Although Fan is not as popular as Li now, she is also a popular young actress in Huayi and cannot be poached just like that.

It doesn't matter whether it's a lawsuit or breach of contract and paying compensation, but it's easy to hinder Fan Xiaopang, and drag it out for a long time, which is not good for his development.

Not to mention that Fan is now labeled as a "mistress". If she is accused of betraying her old boss, it would be a loss.

Black and red are red, but they can’t be too black, otherwise it will be difficult to whitewash them.

Yan Li originally planned to use Wang Jinghua to attack

He already understood clearly that Fan Xiaopang's contract was signed with Huayi, but Wang Jinghua had the final say.

There were many reserved clauses in its cooperation with Huayi at that time.

In other words, Yan Li and Wang Jinghua can bypass Huayi and conduct transactions directly, including the termination and transfer of Fan Xiaopang's contract.

However, in this case, Wang Jinghua would not be able to explain to Huayi, and Yan Li was still considering how to convince Wang.

But a previous monthly intelligence showed him another option.

Wang Jinghua wants to run away from Huayi, and he wants to run away with all his money gone!

Yan Li doesn't care about the dispute between Wang Jinghua and Huayi, but with such huge changes in the company, Fan Xiaopang's job change is not a big deal.

Of course, trying to fish in troubled waters will definitely offend people.

But since Yan Li chose to poach Fan Xiaopang, he was bound to offend him. If he could reconcile, he would reconcile. If he couldn't reconcile, he would just fight back.

If you want to be a good guy while doing business, you will never make any money... Fat Fan is quite obedient in front of Yan Li, his future boss and the man who made him famous.

"Then I'll follow the plan."

"Ah."

Yan Li hung up the phone, and then arranged for the artist management department to cooperate at any time and prepare a backup plan.

If the public opinion about Fan Xiaopang is too negative, we will draw attention to him.

This was what we had agreed upon before. Yan Li would be the one to take the blame if the situation got unfavorable.

As a man, and his behind-the-scenes identity is more important than his actor identity, he is not afraid of these criticisms. Whether it is the "victim" Li Bingbing or the "mistress" Fan Xiaopang, they are all "emotional victims" who are cheated on by Yan Li.

So, now Li Bingbing's side has spoken, Fan Xiaopang is ready to respond, but Yan Li remains in a semi-invisible state.

Of course, despite being semi-invisible, Yan Li has always been very popular.

[Two Soldiers Compete for Beauty], Shuangbing is the heroine, but there is no way to avoid him.

Now many people on the Internet are scolding him, and even more are envious, jealous and hateful.

That's a pair of soldiers!

The two companies were already well-known to begin with, and with the continued hype surrounding their association over the past year, they have already created a certain brand effect.

Although she is still inferior to the four young actresses at the moment, she has begun to stand out from the others and is slowly rising.

Many people regarded them as goddesses in their hearts, but they were all ruined one by one by the damn beast Yan Li.

cough~
Yan Li felt a little aggrieved. These people underestimated him. What did they mean by "ruin them one by one"? He had clearly stacked two soldiers on top of each other...

...

Two days later, the crew of "Investiture of the Gods: Fengming Qishan" started filming in Hengdian

Since the scandal with Yan Li was exposed, Fan Xiaopang made his first appearance, attracting a large number of interviews from reporters.

Fan Xiaopang was in good spirits and also accepted interviews from some reporters.

"Excuse me, are you in a relationship with Yan Li?"

Fatty Fan smiled slightly and said, "It's a personal relationship matter, I don't want to reveal it for now."

Rumors are rumors, and romance is romance!
This point must be separated. Creating a scandal does not mean that you have to admit to being in a relationship.

Of course, in order to maintain the hype, they will not deny it, but will give specious answers to hint at it.

This way, the exposure can be continued while leaving a certain amount of room. Anyway, it allows people outside to guess and guess the answer they would rather see.

Pull the drawer and you can move it forward or backward!

Li Xue had also taught her this Yan Li move. Now that the apprentice knows it, the master is even more familiar with it.

"How are you going to explain to the outside world that you interfered with Yan Li and Li Bingbing's relationship?"

"It's a lie. I'm not some mistress."

Fan Xiaopang's tone was particularly firm: "Boss Yan and I have known each other since we filmed 'Cornucopia' in 2002. Even if there is a so-called first come first served, I am not a latecomer."

"Oh~"

The reporters present were so happy that they were almost jumping up and down.

From what Fan Xiaopang said before, I thought it would be the same official rhetoric again today, but he ended up directly challenging Li Bingbing, implying that she was the mistress.

"So, you think Li Bingbing is interfering in your relationship with Yan Li."

Fatty Fan smiled politely: "I didn't say that. I won't answer questions about relationships."

So what did you mean by that just now?
A reporter, sensing something, asked, "Some people think that the Double Soldiers Contest is you tying up Li Bingbing. What do you think?"

"I don't care what others think. I am Fan Bingbing, and all I need to do is be myself."

This sentence was a bit irrelevant to the question, but many reporters understood its meaning.

He didn't respond to Yan Li's scandals, and instead preferred to target Li Bingbing...

An experienced reporter decisively shifted the focus of his questions from scandals and love triangles to a fight between the two sides.

Sure enough, although Fan Xiaopang’s answers were filled with evasive and roundabout answers, he also revealed some “explosive news”.

"...We are friends, but because we are all busy, we don't see each other much at the company. We can only contact each other occasionally by phone."

We are not familiar with each other and rarely call each other.

"...An actor's career is long, and I'm still young, so I have time to catch up."

[Although I am not as good as her now, I am still young and have time to overtake her.]

"...This is already the fourth time Mr. Yan and I have worked together. Yes, we have a good chemistry... As soon as he asked me to act in this drama, I came. I don't know if he contacted her."

[See? Yan Li and I are the “true love”]

"...I can't say much about other people's affairs. Didn't they say they were friends?"

"...Haha, Mr. Yan and I are also friends, and good friends at that."

Li Bingbing, you are a loser.

"..."

After the interview was finally over, Fan Xiaopang immediately called Yan Li.

"What do you think of my answer?"

There are people from Yi An in the crew, and Yan Li has already received the news: "It's a bit harsh, but acceptable."

Fan Xiaopang breathed a sigh of relief. Since they couldn't just fall out, it would still be a test of their performance.

However, Yan Li immediately reminded her: "Get ready, it's time for Li Bingbing to take action."

"Am I afraid of her?"

Fan Xiaopang didn't care at all, and Li Bingbing didn't scold him either, except for being sarcastic. She was mentally prepared for that.
