Chapter 126 Red Carpet
In the presidential suite of the Peninsula Hotel, Zhou Xun and Tang Yan, two leading actresses of Rongchen Pictures, have already changed into dresses.

Tang Yan was wearing a bright red halter dress, she was tall and had fiery red lips.

Li Chen wanted her to break the image of a naive and innocent person from the moment she appeared on the red carpet!

This is the masterpiece of Lawrence Xu, the exclusive designer of Rongchen Pictures, and the inspiration also comes from Li Chen's sketch.

Ever since I saw Lawrence Xu come to the fore in Berlin two years ago because of Zhang Jingchu's peacock dress.

Li Chen started to think about this Chinese fashion designer.

After the company moved into Jinxiu Mingzuan, it offered a high price to invite him to join Rongchen Pictures and serve as the chief designer of Rongchen Pictures.

While creating red carpet looks for Rongchen Pictures artists, Li Chen does not restrict their freedom.

Among Miss Liu's four dresses, one was made by him.

Zhou Xun wore a V-neck black long dress designed by her stylist boyfriend, paired with short-sleeved gloves, looking mature and exquisite.

She was nominated for Best Actress for "If Love", and Tang Yan was nominated for Best Newcomer for "Father's Love is Like a Mountain".

Competing with Tang Yan are Zhou Jielun, Ye Xuan and others.

Liu Yifei was the slowest and her dress was the most troublesome.

Among the four dresses, she finally chose a light pink princess dress from Gucci.

When all three of them changed into formal wear and appeared in front of Li Chen and Yang Siwei, it was truly a sight to behold.

Zhou Xun is smart, Tang Yan is cold, and Miss Liu is ethereal.

Zhou Xun stood between the two and was unwilling: "Director Li, I'd better walk the red carpet with Director Chen and the others, since I have two long legs like Yifei and Tangtang by my side."

"My petite body has suddenly become short and stubby! I won't do it!"

Yang Siwei lowered his head and smiled secretly. Zhou Xun was right. Yifei and Tangtang were both 1.7 meters tall, and with high heels, they were almost 1.8 meters tall.

Zhou Xun was indeed at a disadvantage, and with her black dress, Yang Siwei felt that she looked a little old, but he didn't say much.

Li Chen nodded: "That's fine, so people won't say we're stingy. After all, you were nominated for If Love."

Liu Yifei was a little nervous: "Li Chen, is my outfit too eye-catching? I'm not nominated."

This dress is so beautiful that even she feels like she has walked out of a fairy tale.

Tang Yan was also a little panicked: "Me too, my outfit is too gorgeous!"

Li Chen didn't see it that way: "You two should understand better. I won't say anything about Brother Xun, he is also an old man on the red carpet."

"Today is the first time you two will appear on the red carpet in China, so I will explain it to you clearly."

"Walking on the red carpet, I'm not afraid of you grabbing everyone's attention. Other actresses want to shine all the spotlight on themselves!"

"You two are so good, you still want to keep a low profile. If you want to keep a low profile, don't enter the entertainment industry!"

Yang Siwei nodded and interrupted, "The boss is right, Yifei, Tangtang, don't be confused. Our company is now the leader in the industry."

"Yifei is fine, but Tangtang and Xunjie's appearance on the red carpet also represents the company's image, so we can't be careless."

Yang Siwei understood it quite well. Liu Yifei and Tang Yan looked at each other and smiled.

"Okay, okay, Tangtang and I don't dare to argue with Director Li and Director Yang. We will just listen to you."

Li Chen shook his head and smiled: "The red carpet is no less than another battlefield for female stars!"

"You two think you can get away with it by keeping a low profile? The media won't let you two off."

"Perhaps you were still on the red carpet when headlines like 'Liu Yifei's fashion sense looks old-fashioned, Tang Yan is immature and unconfident' appeared online."

"You two both have a lot of fans. On the red carpet, the actresses are competing with each other for beauty, and off the red carpet, your fans are also competing with each other!"

Zhou Xun looked at Li Chen strangely: "Director Li, you really don't look like a man in his early twenties. I don't think anyone in the entertainment industry understands things as well as you do!"

Li Chen didn't explain much, he stood up and said: "Okay, let's go, I'm also a target tonight, I don't know how many people want to shoot me!"

Liu Yifei took Li Chen's arm and said, "It's okay, you have a bulletproof vest!"

"Haha, Yifei is right!"

After several people left the Peninsula Hotel, Zhou Xun and her boyfriend left first in a car.

Li Chen, Liu Yifei and Tang Yan were in a car, driving towards the Hung Hom Stadium one after the other.

They were all black Mercedes-Benz, provided by Xiang Huaqiang.

When we arrived at the Hung Hom Stadium, it was not yet completely dark.

Unexpectedly, there was a traffic jam. There was another Mercedes-Benz parked in front of Li Chen's Mercedes-Benz.

Yang Siwei complained: "Who is so famous that he neither drives forward nor gets out of the car."

The driver of the car in front asked Zhang Ziyi, who was sitting in the back, for advice: "Sister Ziyi, what should we do?"

Zhang Ziyi sat in the back seat without moving: "Wait a little longer."

The driver smiled bitterly while the reporter in front was interviewing Fan Qiaoqiao.

Zhang Ziyi was unwilling to share the photographer's film and the reporter's microphone with others, so she was unwilling to get out of the car.

In fact, there is another reason that the driver is not aware of.

Fan Qiaoqiao's green V-neck evening gown clashed with Zhang Ziyi's peacock feather cape.

The most important thing is that Zhang Ziyi doesn’t want to appear in the same frame with Fan Qiaoqiao. She knows this well.

In terms of status, she beats Fan Qiaoqiao in seconds.

But in terms of appearance and figure, it’s just the opposite!
"Boss, do you want me to go down and take a look?" Yang Siwei couldn't help it anymore.

They can't move unless the car in front moves!
Before Yang Siwei got out of the car, the staff of the Academy Awards had already arrived.

Zhang Ziyi had no choice but to get off the car.

Fan Qiaoqiao, who was being interviewed in front, also turned around and saw this scene.

When the media reporters saw Zhang Ziyi getting out of the car, they left Fan Qiaoqiao and threw themselves into Zhang Ziyi's arms.

Fan Qiaoqiao saw Zhang Ziyi in a purple short skirt and caught a glimpse of a heavy shawl. She looked like a fat peacock and he secretly felt happy.

Zhang Jingchu, who was standing in front of me just now, was wearing a black swaying long dress, and she was a clear winner.

When Zhang Jing first saw her get off the car, she quickly moved away, as if she was afraid of being in the same frame with her.

In the following photo, Zhang Ziyi shows her lack of confidence in her actions.

He actually hid in the car and refused to get out, so the staff had to "ask" him to get out of the car.

Fan Qiaoqiao turned around and walked towards the purple carpet of the Avenue of Stars with his head held high.

"Boss, it turned out to be Zhang Ziyi, no wonder, no wonder!"

"Xiao Fan is in the front. Zhang Ziyi was right not to get out of the car. I think except Yifei and Tangtang who can control Xiao Fan tonight, the others are just Xiao Fan's foil." Yang Siwei said with a smile.

But I felt sorry for Xiao Fan. If Xiao Fan worked in their company, there would be a lot of talk about who would be the most dazzling actress tonight.

Yifei's outfit tonight is so dazzling, she looks like one of the seven fairies who has fallen into the mortal world.

Tangtang's outfit is not bad either, showing off her slim figure and fair skin perfectly.

And Xiao Fan is destined to be the background board for Yifei and Tangtang.

It’s all your Huayi’s fault for not being strong enough.

Zhang Ziyi had just posed for the photos, and before she had taken a few pictures, fans and reporters burst into exclamations.

"Director Li and the others are here!"

Li Chen got out of the car first and stretched out his hand very gentlemanly, while the driver blocked the edge of the car.

Movie fans saw Tang Yan make a stunning appearance in a gorgeous red halter dress.

This immediately caused a burst of exclamations from movie fans.

Before they had seen enough, Liu Yifei appeared in front of everyone like an angel descending to earth.

Movie fans and the media went crazy.

The truth is that none of the recent mainland female artists can hold up the reputation of mainland female stars.

Fan Qiaoqiao is not good enough either, it’s not that Fan Qiaoqiao is not pretty enough.

She really loses in terms of fashion sense, and her outfits always look old-fashioned.

The appearance of Liu Yifei and Tang Yan finally made mainland movie fans and media feel proud.

"Look, it's Liu Yifei and Tang Yan!"

"Yifei, Tangyan"

"Yifei, Yifei, look this way."

"So beautiful!"

The scene immediately became noisy, with fans shouting Liu Yifei and Tang Yan's names.

Li Chen immediately became a mascot.

The photographers in front of Zhang Ziyi all disappeared.

Zhang Ziyi's face was almost the same color as her peacock feather shawl.

My facial muscles cramped with embarrassment.

If I had known this would happen, I would have gotten off the bus earlier.

It's better to compete with Fan Qiaoqiao than to be killed instantly by two rookies Liu Yifei and Tang Yan!

Li Chen's light grey suit today is quite reserved and high-end, but unfortunately he is destined to become the green leaf to set off the red flowers.

It was really that Liu Yifei and Tang Yan's dresses, combined with their natural looks, were too eye-catching.

Compared with these two, the actress walking in front looked like she had just come to the city from the countryside.

Even Fan Qiaoqiao can't compare to him.

"Boss, let's move aside and give Yifei and Tangtang some space."

Yang Siwei smiled and said that she was very satisfied with the sensation caused by Yifei and Tangtang.

Today's red carpet debut was a success.

Yang Siwei glanced at her boss. If there was a genius in this world, her boss would definitely be it.

Writer, director, actor, composer, designer, he is good at everything.

Perhaps the only shortcoming is the hoarse voice, otherwise he would be omnipotent. Thinking of this, Yang Siwei laughed again. This is probably perfect, no one is perfect.

Zhang Ziyi in front saw Li Chen, smiled unnaturally, and quickly walked onto the Avenue of Stars.

After collecting information from Liu Yifei and Tang Yan, the reporters naturally would not let Li Chen go.

Several people stood together, Tang Yan and Liu Yifei stood in the middle, Li Chen stood next to Liu Yifei, and Yang Siwei stood next to Tang Yan.

A group photo is frozen.

"Yifei, you walked the red carpet with Rongchen Pictures today. Have you signed with our director Li? Or are you planning to make an official announcement today?"

Sina's reporters started to set a trap for Liu Yifei.

"He is indeed targeting me, but I haven't agreed yet!" Liu Yifei said playfully.

After saying that, he glanced at Li Chen with a smile in his eyes.

The media have become accustomed to this. As long as there is no solid evidence, the two will just play Tai Chi with the media.

"Director Li, you are participating in the Hong Kong Film Awards, but you can't be partial to one and forget about the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards in the mainland." The reporter of the Sixth Princess smiled and put pressure on Li Chen.

Hong Kong gossip media also asked about the story of Li Chen’s banquet and Zeng Zhiwei that night.

"We'll go when we have time. Let's not disturb the people behind us. The staff will chase us away soon." Li Chen said humorously.

The reporters laughed and did not embarrass Li Chen and his companions any more. Wang Zhonglei, Zhang Jingying and Li Qiaoqiao who were standing behind them were already ready to go.

Wang Zhonglei and others nodded and greeted Li Chen.

Li Chen and three others walked onto the purple carpet, while Tang Yan and Liu Yifei greeted the fans on both sides as they walked.

"The Return of the Condor Heroes" will be introduced to Hong Kong Island's Jade Channel in July, but piracy has already spread rampantly online.

Liu Yifei is also very popular in Hong Kong Island.

Many mainland fans of Liu Yifei and Tang Yan also rushed to Hong Kong Island to support them.

Especially the number of Liu Yifei's fans may not be comparable to that of Liu Dehua and Zhou Jielun.

But it wins because of its overwhelming momentum.

At this moment, a man broke through the encirclement and ran towards Liu Yifei like an arrow.

Li Chen's hair stood on end, and he subconsciously pulled Miss Liu beside him.

With a bang, the man missed.

The huge inertia knocked the media and reporters behind Ms. Liu to the ground, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Everyone finally reacted and the security personnel nearby quickly stepped forward to restrain the man.

"Are you okay?" Li Chen's heart was pounding.

In her previous life, it seemed that Miss Liu had also encountered such crazy fans when attending events.

"Are you okay, Yifei?" Tang Yan was so scared that her scalp went numb and she got goose bumps all over her body.

This is the first time I meet such crazy fans.

"No, it's okay." Liu Yifei turned pale and was also shocked.

If Li Chen hadn't pulled her hard, she would probably have fallen heavily to the ground.

Even if he wasn't injured at this moment, he would definitely be in a mess and exposing himself would be inevitable.

The staff of the organizer kept apologizing to Liu Yifei.

Li Chen ignored them and asked Yang Siwei to send them away.

He only said to Miss Liu: "Do you want to go back to the hotel and rest?"

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly: "It's okay."

"Is it really okay?"

"It's really okay. I feel at ease knowing you are by my side." Miss Liu whispered.

Tang Yan smiled and said, "Boss, Boss lady? Do we still need to walk the red carpet?"

“There’s already a queue behind us!”

Li Chen smiled gently, and the four of them continued walking on the red carpet.

However, Li Chen was concerned about it and decided to find a personal bodyguard for Miss Liu.

It’s best if it’s a woman who follows you wherever you go! Otherwise, there will be people who come after you.

Just as the four of them walked not far from the signature board in front, they heard a cry of "Ah".

The sound was not loud, but it attracted the attention of people around.

It turned out that Fan Qiaoqiao was about to go on stage to sign autographs, but Zhang Jingchu, who was passing by, stepped on her skirt and almost fell to the ground.

But Zhang Jingchu's reaction was surprisingly calm, and she quickly left the scene as if nothing had happened.

Yang Siwei, Liu Yifei and Tang Yan also saw it.

"She didn't do it on purpose, did she?" Liu Yifei whispered.

"It's possible. Otherwise, you should at least stop and say sorry." Tang Yan added.

"It's a good opportunity to teach by example. Now we have a ready-made example of the actress I just mentioned to you two. These are all child's play." Li Chen said with a smile.

"Thinking, this scene will probably be magnified tomorrow, and the fans and agents of the two will probably be affected as well."

"Think about what happened today. If it happened to Tangtang, how would you use it to your advantage and profit from it?"

Yang Siwei was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Boss is still thinking ahead, I haven't thought of this level yet."

Fan Qiaoqiao was also very depressed, and all the good mood he had just had was gone.

She hadn't even finished walking down the Avenue of Stars when she heard the screams.

He turned around with curiosity and was immediately stunned.

Liu Yifei and Tang Yan were both dressed in gorgeous attire, dazzling and eye-catching.

No matter who it was, it made her green long dress look dull.

It's not that she doesn't have enough conditions, it's just that clothes make the man, not war's fault.

The last time Liu Yifei and Tang Yan appeared on the red carpet in Berlin, they were only wearing neutral suits.

I didn't expect that today's Academy Awards red carpet would be so different from the past and so high-profile!

Fan Qiaoqiao felt mixed emotions, and the sense of superiority he had just felt from Zhang Jingchu and Zhang Ziyi suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Now Zhang Jingchu stepped on her foot and she almost exposed herself.

But Zhang Jingchu didn't even say sorry and simply ignored her.

Fan Qiaoqiao was extremely depressed. With a mask-like smile on his face, he helped Tang Jili onto the stage, signed his name on the autograph board, and then left the stage.

"Xiao Fan, you're here early." Yang Siwei took the initiative to greet Fan Qiaoqiao.

"Director Li, Siwei, Yifei, and Tang Yan." Fan Qiaoqiao nodded and greeted them one by one.

Li Chen and others smiled and nodded.

Tang Jili had never met Li Chen, but he was very familiar with Li Chen's name.

There was no time for polite conversation at this moment, and the two of them simply nodded to each other, indicating that they were acquainted.

"Let's sign first and talk later." Yang Siwei said with a smile.

Fan Qiaoqiao stood there and was not in a hurry to go into the inner field.

She had already seen Wang Zhonglei coming over with Li Qiaoqiao and Zhang Jingying.

It's understandable that I didn't walk the red carpet with them.

But if he was unwilling to go into the backstage with them, the gossip media would probably immediately spread the news that Fan Qiaoqiao and Hua Yi were not getting along.

After Li Chen and his companions finished signing their names, they went down the stage to socialize with some acquaintances.

Fan Qiaoqiao's makeup is exquisite, but her green outfit can't compare with Miss Liu and Tang Yan.

But his acting is okay, at least there is no unnaturalness on his face.

"Director Li, thank you and Siwei. After the award ceremony tonight, I wonder if there will be a chance for me to host a party to thank you two?"

Looking at Fan Qiaoqiao's delicate face with a smile as beautiful as a flower.

Liu Yifei felt amused and really wanted to thank her. She probably had to thank her.

"It's too late, let's go back to the mainland and talk about it." Li Chen said perfunctorily.

Fan Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take this as Director Li's agreement."

"Yifei looks so beautiful today. I won't stand here anymore. I'm afraid I'll feel ashamed if I stand there for too long."

"You're not bad either." Liu Yifei replied with a smile.

As they were talking, Wang Zhonglei came down from the stage, followed by Chen Kexin and Wu Jinru and his wife.

Enemies often meet on a narrow road. Chen Kexin is radiant, with his pregnant girlfriend on his left hand and Venice Film Festival winner Zhou Xun on his right hand.

Li Chen found it really funny.

"What do you think Chen Kexin looks like?"

"Like what?" Yang Siwei was puzzled.

Liu Yifei and Tang Yan didn't notice it either.

"Does it look like Xu Xian being held hostage by the Black and White Impermanence?"

"a ha ha ha"

Yang Siwei couldn't help but laugh out loud with his head down, Liu Yifei and Tang Yan also chuckled.

"How can you say that to me?" Miss Liu said angrily.

But! They really look alike, Zhou Xun is dressed in black, and Wujiru is dressed in white, and they both hold Chen Kexin's arm at the same time.

Isn’t this the Xu Xian who was held hostage by the Black and White Impermanence?

Zhou Xun saw Li Chen smiling at her and Chen Kexin from afar, and wondered why Director Li had changed his personality.
