Chapter 122: Seductive Beauty with Many Trouble
More than a few investors in the mainland have questioned the casting of "The Thieves".
Even several authoritative media in Hollywood were not optimistic about the casting of "Rip Off".
Apart from Charlize Theron, the biggest stars are Cannes Film Festival winners Li Xuejian and Monica Bellucci.
And the most box office-reliant male star in Hollywood is none.
The industry unanimously had a pessimistic view of "Rogue One", and Shay of New Line Cinema, which did not get the distribution rights, was naturally gloating over it.
But Richard from the distributor Warner Bros. is optimistic about the film.
He had read the script and found it very attractive. Li Chen was also a Palme d'Or director and had given many surprises.
In China, Liu Yifei's Little Dragon Girl finally met the audience.
"The Condor Heroes premiered nationwide, with Liu Yifei and Huang Xiaoming walking the red carpet."
"At the fan meeting of The Condor Heroes, Liu Yifei and Huang Xiaoming were close to each other."
Early in the morning, "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was all over the screen, and there were beautiful pictures of Miss Liu everywhere, with all kinds of expressions.
Cute, playful, beautiful, and cool.
If it were released in later generations, it would probably be made into an emoticon.
Especially the one with her pouting lips and the scissors hand gesture, Li Chen felt that she was doing it on purpose for him to see.
"Xixi, why do I get so angry when I see your scissor hands? Are you doing this on purpose?"
Li Chen let go of the hands-free phone and looked at the photo of Miss Liu with the beautiful girl's hand gesture on the computer screen.
"What? Are you jealous? Brother Xiaoming asked me to tell you that he couldn't help himself! Haha."
"I'll deal with you when you come back!"
"Humph, it's still unclear who will take care of whom!"
Thinking of Miss Liu's fair body, Li Chen became a little agitated.
"Come back quickly! If you don't come back, Director Li will have an affair!"
Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone covered her mouth and laughed: "Still cheating? Show me one!"
"It seems like I'll have to take you with me next time I go to operate on those little cuties of mine!"
Even through the phone, Li Chen felt a chill between his legs: "Okay, Miss Long is indeed a tough character!"
Li Chen was flirting with Miss Liu.
However, Yang Siwei asked Fan Qiaoqiao to come home.
Fan Qiaoqiao sat lazily on the sofa, hugging a white pillow.
Her long hair was casually tied up, and her long legs were tied up. The fair skin was faintly visible between her ankles and socks, which was very attractive.
Yang Siwei sat opposite her, tossing an apple back and forth in his hand.
"Yes, it seems that you have not been defeated by the rumors outside." Yang Siwei said with a smile.
"Don't mention it. I'm so fed up with it. Can you help me analyze who is torturing me?"
Fan Qiaoqiao threw away the pillow, leaned forward, and looked serious.
Yang Siwei still didn't take it seriously: "I can't guess that, how many people have you offended with your emotional intelligence?"
"Last time you had hotpot with that guy, you even offended Yuji. Who knows how stupid you are in your daily life!"
After hearing what Yang Siwei said, Fan Qiaoqiao became even more annoyed: "Don't mention him, we broke up!"
Yang Siwei didn't seem surprised: "I've always felt that you two weren't suitable for each other. Why did you break up? Isn't it because he wasn't one of the three men mentioned in that article?"
Fan Qiaoqiao said helplessly: "No, let's not talk about him. What do you think I should do?"
"You're asking the wrong person. Is your company just a decoration? The article has been out for a few days, and there's been no movement from your company."
Fan Qiaoqiao was anxious: "I asked you to come here to help me with some advice, not to cause trouble for me!"
Yang Siwei smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you're still anxious, really."
"If you were my artist, I would have helped you a long time ago. Even if I want to help you now, I can't use my company's resources."
"Liu Yifei is not from your company either. I think you care more about this than anyone else!"
Fan Qiaoqiao couldn't help but retort.
Yang Siwei rolled his eyes at her before saying, "In my opinion, this matter is definitely not over yet."
"Mr. Wang avoided responding, and you didn't say anything either. Who knows, there will be more actions behind you."
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are targeting you."
"Lin Xinru, Zhu Yin, Lu Yi, Xiao Yanzi and those people are just extras. Who made you so popular in the past two years?"
"This is the kind of thing that brings trouble when you are famous!"
It turned out that a few days ago, an actor who claimed to be a second-tier artist in the circle revealed the privacy of celebrities in a forum.
She was particularly ruthless towards Fan Qiaoqiao, pointing out that Fan Qiaoqiao's fame was all due to three men.
Netizens have never seen real "actors" revealing entertainment industry insider information online.
Immediately, it attracted a large number of visitors, and the click rate exceeded 100,000 in a short period of time.
Especially the revelations about Fan Qiaoqiao shocked everyone.
This second-tier actor said that Fan Qiaoqiao was a person who understood the unspoken rules very well.
Very insightful about the big boss of the investment business!
The dramas she took on were mostly bad scripts, but she was able to become as famous as the top-tier stars. This is inseparable from the support of these three people!
Netizens began to speculate who the three people were.
Soon, Wang Zhonglei, Jia Yun and Hong Jingbao were identified by netizens.
But no one mentioned her boyfriend Wang Xuebing.
"You asked me to give you some advice, but the problem is that I can't control your company, so it's useless to say anything."
"Unless you are sure you really want to switch to our company next year."
"Maybe I can talk to my boss and use our company's resources to help you run it." Yang Siwei said with a smile.
"Go to your company to eat Liu Yifei's leftovers?" Fan Qiaoqiao lowered his eyebrows and replied.
"Then I have no choice, Xiao Fan, I have to remind you that some things are destined."
"If you insist on being with a Phoebe, you're just asking for trouble. The process is important, but the result is more important!"
"In our company, even with Yifei, we still have what you want."
"Look at the choice Zhou Xun made. Think about it carefully."
"As for your trouble this time, if you need me to speak for you personally, I will do my best to do so."
"But if you want me to use company resources to help you, I can't help you."
Fan Qiaoqiao raised his eyes and looked towards Yang Siwei.
I didn't expect that she had seen through my intention of inviting her over as a guest today.
After seeing Yang Siwei off, Fan Qiaoqiao fell on the soft big bed in the bedroom and slapped her hard sexually.
"How am I worse than Liu Yifei? Why can't I find a good person?"
"But what Yang Siwei said is not wrong. Maybe if I join Rongchen Pictures, I will suffer less from these backstabbing attacks."
"At least, Rongchen Pictures will not play dumb."
Yang Siwei drove away from Fan Qiaoqiao's apartment, and after thinking about it, she decided to call her boss.
"Boss, I just came out of Fan Qiaoqiao's house. She seems to have other plans. She may not come to our place next year."
Yang Siwei hung up the phone, and her boss simply replied, "I understand." Come to think of it, in the boss's eyes, Xiao Fan is just an artist.
Being popular or not is not important to the boss.
As long as you enter Rongchen Film Company, becoming famous is commonplace.
After hanging up the phone with Yang Siwei, Li Chen didn't take Fan Qiaoqiao's matter to heart.
It’s her own choice whether to come or not. I don’t know if she has contacted Mu Xiaoguang now.
If she chose Mu Xiaoguang, she would be doomed to fail.
I can only wish her good luck.
After returning to the company, Yang Siwei called Tang Yan and Yang Mi.
Two copies of the script were handed to the two men.
Yang Mi got "Painted Skin 2" and Tang Yan got "Bad Genius"
"Tangtang, this is your first time playing the leading female role. The boss asked you to practice left-handedness and learn piano from today. This leading female role not only can play the piano, but she is also a left-handed academic master!"
Tang Yan smiled and nodded, the joy in her eyes overflowing from the corners of her eyes.
Finally she doesn’t have to play a supporting role anymore. She first played a supporting role to Zhou Xun, then to Yifei, and this time it is finally her turn to play the leading female role.
"When can I play the female lead?" Yang Mi was very envious.
But it’s not bad to get “Painted Skin 2”.
"No need to ask, I just replaced Tangtang as Sister Xun's supporting role."
"Come on, you're playing a supporting role for the Venice Film Festival winner. Do you think every newcomer has this opportunity?" Yang Siwei scolded with a smile.
"Remember, the script must be kept secret."
Tang Yan and Yang Mi left the company and returned to the apartment together.
The two of them looked through the script, and Yang Mi suddenly said, "Tangtang, you can definitely find Brother Jin to play the role of the male academic master in this movie."
"Not so good. Besides, we don't know when the filming will start, who will be the director, and whether it will conflict with the schedule of 'Thieves'." "Oh, that's right, I forgot about 'Thieves'. She is really born with a face that will bring good luck to her husband. How is the filming of 'Soldier Assault' going with Brother Jin? Have you visited the set?"
Tang Yan shook her head: "I don't have time recently. I have to start promoting "Those Years" soon, and I also have to write my graduation thesis. I feel like I can be torn in half."
"That's right, you and the senior are both going to graduate from college this year. Maybe your play will be the senior's graduation work." Yang Mi blinked.
Yang Mi guessed wrong. Li Chen did not plan to shoot "Bad Genius" himself, but designated the Chen family to shoot it.
I took someone else's "Painted Skin" and returned his two films, "Father's Love" and "Bad Genius", which can be considered as returning the favor.
This was agreed upon between Xiang Huaqiong and Li Chen when he came to the mainland at the end of last year.
Given the current situation in mainland China, there is a 100% chance that "Bad Genius" will not pass the review.
Instead of this, it would be better to place it in Hong Kong Island and produce it jointly by Zhongguoxing and Rongchen Pictures.
Xiang Huaqiong did not make any other requests at the time, he just hoped to give his son a role.
Li Chen nodded in agreement. His son might be able to play the role of the rich second generation in his true colors.
As for "The Accidental Murderer 2" with Yinghuang, Li Chen plans to put it aside for the time being.
Boss Yang, who is both good and evil, treats him as a fool.
There is no need for me to open my heart to him.
There are so many people in Hong Kong lining up to work with him.
Media Asia and Andy Lau’s Film Arts Entertainment are both candidates.
In Li Chen's eyes, he only regards Andy Lau as a friend among the people in the Hong Kong circle.
Others are business partners or artists who can be replaced at any time.
If nothing else, just based on Liu Dehua's Asian Rising Star Director Program, he deserves special attention.
In the Xiang family's villa in Hong Kong Island, Chen Jiashang and Xiang Huaqiang and his wife sat opposite each other.
Chen Jiashang read the script of "Bad Genius" and was really curious about what Li Chen's brain was like.
Good scripts come in bulk, one after another.
This "Bad Genius" not only breaks the traditional campus love story, but is also closely related to exams that everyone will experience. It may become a big hit.
What made him even more curious was that the other party seemed to have high hopes for him and specifically asked him to star in "Father's Love is Like a Mountain".
This movie "Bad Genius" was also specifically named to be directed by him.
"Mr. Xiang, I've accepted this film. I believe that if it's successful, it has a good chance of winning the Best Picture Award at the Academy Awards next year."
"Excuse me, have you decided on the role yet?"
Xiang Huaqi didn't say anything. Mrs. Xiang smiled and said, "The female lead is Tang Yan, the second male lead is A Zuo, and the other roles have been decided by Director Li. We will announce them soon."
"Jia Shang, if you have someone to recommend, you can also bring it up. I believe Director Li will still give me this face."
Xiang Huaqi added.
Chen Jiashang nodded. He had a good impression of Tang Yan when filming "Father's Love is Like a Mountain".
Although his acting skills are still a bit immature, he has the box office support of "Painted Skin" and "Father's Love Is Like a Mountain".
But I didn’t expect that Xiang Sheng couldn’t get a leading male role for his son.
Xiang Huaqiong thought of something else: "Family, I'm sorry that the Academy Awards let you down this time."
"What Xiang Sheng said is not true. 'Underworld' is also 'popular'!"
Xiang Huaqi nodded: "Tell Wenjun a message, don't cause trouble, I don't want Director Li to be embarrassed at the Academy Awards."
Chen Jiashang was stunned for a moment, then immediately responded: "I will pass on Mr. Xiang's words."
After Chen Jiashang left, Mrs. Xiang smiled and said, "Husband, you are giving Li Chen so much face, I hope this young man can appreciate your kindness."
Xiang Huaqi frowned: "He is a smart man. It is not simple for him not to respond to Guan Jinpeng."
"But I am very curious about why he suddenly became estranged from Yinghuang. I heard that Yinghuang sent him a box of Romance-Conti, but it didn't improve his relationship with Yinghuang."
"How about I give Hua Zai a call and ask him to find out?"
Xiang Huaqi raised his hand and said, "No! It's not necessary. The reason is not important. What's important is that he is now estranged from Yinghuang and close to us. That's enough."
Although Xiang Huaqiang said this, privately, Mrs. Xiang still went her own way and called Liu Dehua.
Since her husband cares so much about cooperation with the other party, she can't just let it go.
At least let Huazai find out what happened between Li Chen and Ying Huang.
They can also avoid making the same mistakes as Yinghuang in the future.
Mrs. Xiang really posed a difficult problem for Liu Dehua, as he was not a gossipy person.
He didn't know how to hint at this matter, but it was difficult for him to refuse Mrs. Xiang.
I could only agree to give it a try when I meet Li Chen.
What Yang Siwei said at Fan Qiaoqiao's house that day came true.
That second-tier "star" did have a back-up plan.
The information that was revealed this time was like a powerful explosive.
What a fake boss who keeps Fan for half a year with 500,000 yuan.
Fan was involved in pornography and sold it to a boss in Zhejiang for 100,000 yuan in one night.
She also had an illegitimate child with a Hong Kong artist, had an abortion and plastic surgery, etc.
The story was so convincing that it caused a huge uproar in the entertainment industry.
In addition to the fake boss of the person involved jumping out to offer a reward for the arrest of this second-tier "star", Fan's mother also stood up to refute each scandal one by one.
Fan even said frankly that he was willing to accept a public appraisal from a plastic surgeon.
Many celebrities and artists also began to speak out for Fan on their blogs.
Among them is Yang Siwei. It can be said that Yang Siwei is worth at least ten people.
Although several people who spoke up for Fan Qiaoqiao before were also people in the circle.
But you are really the kind of person in the circle who I wouldn’t know who you are unless you speak up.
For example, Miao Hairong, who co-starred with him in "My Fair Princess", did not stand up to support Xiao Fan as prominently as he did after starring in the previous series.
The blog post by Yang Siwei is very skillful.
"It's very cheap to spread rumors online, and it's also very easy to destroy a person. All you need to do is be shameless and immoral."
"He has no name or surname, and he doesn't have to show his face. He claims to be a second-tier artist, but maybe he's not even a human being."
"It's just a dog who takes money to do things. I strongly urge netizens not to believe in rumors or spread them."
"Xiao Fan, come on, Sister Wei supports you!"
"The above only represents me personally and has nothing to do with Rongchen Pictures. My boss doesn't know about this yet."
Yang Siwei’s fans are no less than those of first-line artists.
Her clear attitude prompted Wang Zhonglei of Huayi to express his views.
First, he forced all of his artists, including Li Qiaoqiao, to express their support for Xiao Fan on their blogs.
Then speak publicly to the media and pursue the matter through legal means.
Liu Yifei, who had just finished promoting The Return of the Condor Heroes, was now nestled in Li Chen's arms.
The two of them lived in their own world, full of love and affection.
Miss Liu rested her head on Li Chen's legs and fell asleep out of tiredness.
It was not until Li Chen's phone rang and Li Chen quickly answered it that Miss Liu woke up.
Seeing her open her eyes, Li Chen smiled and said, "Siwei, you'd better give me a legitimate reason!"
Yang Siwei was stunned, wondering if he had disturbed his boss's good thing again.
"It's okay, boss. Look at what you're doing. I just posted a blog post. I'm here to give you a heads-up."
Li Chen snorted twice: "You've already sent it, and you're just reporting it to me now? What did you send again?"
Miss Liu had already stood up, rubbed her eyes, opened her notebook, and pointed with her finger.
Li Chen took a closer look.
"Boss, you'll know once you see it."
"I've seen it, and I've posted it. It's okay. At least there are no loopholes in the wording."
"Haha, Boss, I'm a professional, how can I let anyone pick on me?"
Before she could finish her words, Yang Siwei was stunned because he saw that his boss actually forwarded her blog post.
Li Chen looked at Miss Liu beside him in surprise, speechless.
Miss Liu shook her head proudly.
"Boss, am I seeing this right?"
Before Li Chen could say anything, Miss Liu snatched the phone away.
"Siwei, you are not mistaken. I think what you said is right. These people are really bad."
"Ha, it turns out to be you, Yifei. I was saying that this is not like my boss's style! As expected, the boss's wife is the boss's wife."
Yang Siwei hung up after he finished speaking, and patted his chest, thinking that he had indeed disturbed his boss's good thing.
It's really rare that Yifei can empathize with others!
I'm done with my work, and I'll still update at 6am every day. If there are any changes, I'll let you know in advance. Thank you for voting. Recently, the number of followers has increased to more than 200, and I blame myself for not updating enough.
