Chapter 133 The World Has Changed

Li Chen turned on his cell phone as soon as he got off the plane.

There are countless missed call reminder messages flying in like dandruff.

The same goes for Liu Yifei.

Li Chen read the message sent by Yang Siwei and was not flustered.

After thinking back carefully about what we said that night, it seems that there was nothing out of the scope.

"Look! You said everything was fine?" Liu Yifei handed the phone to Li Chen.

Xue Xiaolu and others nearby didn't know what was going on.

"What's wrong? Li Chen?" Xue Xiaolu asked puzzledly.

Li Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, Sister Lu, there should be a lot of reporters ahead."

"Sissi and I won't go with you."

Tang Yan and Li Chen didn't let her follow.

She was left in Beijing to learn piano so that she would not be criticized when filming "Bad Genius".

Shen Pain smiled and said, "Director Li, are you guys going to the VIP route? Take me with you, I haven't been there yet!"

Li Chen chuckled and ignored Shen Teng's attempt to please him.

He called the driver again, and then parted ways with Liu Yifei, two assistants and the rest of the crew.

The entertainment reporters who were waiting at the door were disappointed when they failed to catch Li Chen and Liu Yifei.

On the other side, Li Chen and Liu Yifei got in the car, and then they began to reply to calls and text messages.

Li Chen replied to Gu Yongkeng first.

I thought it was some important matter, but it turned out to be an interview with me.

Li Chen asked him to arrange someone to interview Yang Siwei, as he himself did not have the time.

I am his investor, not his tool, what am I thinking!

You can give him some explosive news, but it is impossible to accept his arrangements.

Gu Yongkeng's enthusiasm was half dampened. Can Yang Siwei compare with Li Chen?

Then Li Chen called Han Sanding back.

Han Sanping has calmed down now.

"I was wondering why you and Lao Wu got into a fight again."

"Boss Han, I tell you not to take sides. You've read the revelations, and you know who started it first."

"I don't care who is causing the trouble. I will go and say hello to him! Stop making trouble over here."

"Okay, no problem on my end. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

Han Sanping has a good idea, but unfortunately plans cannot keep up with changes.

The producer of "Red Cliff" is Zhang Jiazhen, the partner of Wu Yusen.

He immediately publicly refuted Li Chen's remarks that Wu Yusen was incapable of making a historical blockbuster.

This is equivalent to indirectly confirming the authenticity of the revelations.

There is a lot of words to say, but it can be summarized into two points.

It is nothing more than exaggerating the glory brought by "Mission Impossible 2".

Wu Yusen is also the first Chinese director to leave his handprints at the Zhongguo Theater in the United States.

The talent is unquestionable, but if you haven’t taken a history class, you can’t make a good historical blockbuster?
Many directors in Hong Kong, including Wu Yusen, have never even attended high school.

Still, they made many box office and critically acclaimed movies.

Secondly, he has repeatedly stated that Wu Yusen never meant to look down on mainland actors.

Li Chen's slander is completely malicious.

When Li Chen arrived at the company, Yang Siwei and Wu Bin had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Li Chen coming out of the elevator, the two hurried forward to report the situation.

Li Chen nodded as he listened.

The two ladies at the front desk smiled and bowed to greet the boss of the company who was walking towards them: "Director Li."

Li Chen nodded slightly.

After the three people walked by, the two receptionists started gossiping.

"Boss Yang and Boss Wu both looked serious, but Director Li was so relaxed. Did you see him just now? Director Li even smiled at me."

"I'm not blind, how could I not see it? The big boss is worthy of being the big boss. Even if he is nervous, he won't show it in front of us."

In fact, Li Chen didn't want to get entangled with the people from "Red Cliff" anymore.

Because this is undoubtedly an indirect promotion for "Red Cliff".

I've said enough, let's wait until "Red Cliff" is released.

There will definitely be many people who will increase the box office of "Red Cliff" in order to verify Li Chen's prediction.

This is just like when "The Promise" was scolded out of the thirty-three heavens.

However, there are still people who don't believe that a great director like Chen Kaige would make a "popular" bad movie.

I am willing to pay for the ticket and see it for myself.

Wu Yusen is more famous than Chen Kaige.

Zhang Jiazhen jumped out to refute himself, but it is hard to guarantee that he was not using the opponent's strength to hype up "Red Cliff".

This guy is quite similar to Zhang Dapao and is a master at marketing hype.

Wu Yusen made great efforts to make it into Hollywood.

Wu Bin reported to him that "Soldier Assault" had been completed, but not many people paid attention to it.

The script of "Chinese Partners" was also handed over, and Xu Xiaoping praised the script highly.

I heard that Rongchen Films will be filming the movie, and the release date will be after they plan to list on NASDAQ.

The last trace of worry was gone.

Wu Bin laughed again and said, “Director Li, I have set the casting for those three plays on the 25th.”

Li Chen nodded. He had already decided on several main roles, and left the selection of supporting roles to Wu Bin.

Finally, just check the results yourself.

Li Chen said to Yang Siwei who was standing beside him, "Siwei, please respond to the media."

"Don't mention Red Cliff anymore. We have no obligation to advertise Red Cliff."

Yang Siwei has matured a lot in the past two years, and her first impression of Zhang Jiazhen jumping out was that he was taking advantage of the opportunity to hype herself up.

Who wouldn’t want to take advantage of his boss’s popularity?

"I understand, Boss. I'll do it right away."

Li Chen nodded: "Besides, whether they are hyping it up or not, they can hype it up, and so can we!"

Yang Siwei's eyes lit up and he nodded with a smile, implying that the boss was right.

You fight yours, I fight mine, and we each go our own way.

You take the opportunity to hype up "Red Cliff", and I can also take the opportunity to promote "Those Years"!

Immediately afterwards, Yang Siwei spoke to the media on behalf of Rongchen Pictures.

He also ordered his men to get moving.

"Look at what they say and listen to their actions. Whether they look down on mainland entertainers or not cannot be convinced by just one sentence."

"Regarding the revelations on the Internet, it is true. Rongchen Pictures and Director Li will not respond to this matter any further."

This made netizens even more excited.

"A hero can only be tempted by beauty. Shen Jiayi appears, and Ke Teng's fighting power explodes!"

"Because of Li Chen's three views, I will buy two more tickets for Those Years!"

"Brother Chen is Brother Chen. Even if he says he won't invest in a violent movie, I'll buy it!"

"Li Chen is too honest, how can you say that to me?"

"The future world is yours, and ours, but in the end, it's still ours!"

"Xiao Qiao actually chose a 30-year-old model. Zhang Jingchu, Fan Qiao, who is not better than her? And she said she didn't look down on mainland artists. What a shame!"

Many netizens online cursed him, but a small number of netizens from Hong Kong Island spoke up for Wu Yusen.

Zhang Jiazhen made a phone call in the Hong Kong circle.

As a result, from Wang Jing who had been criticized by Li Chen to Zeng Zhiwei who was the most recent, they all politely declined his request.

In a suite at the Lacrosse Hotel in Taiwan.

Zhang Jiazhen hung up the phone and looked at Wu Yusen, who was sitting with his legs crossed and looking gloomy.

"Wang Jing said he couldn't speak, maybe someone had given him a heads up!"

Wu Yusen crossed his hands and moved his thumbs back and forth without saying a word.

He didn't expect that Li Chen's power was so great that even his good friend Wang Jing didn't dare to say a word.

Wu Yusen knew without even thinking who had greeted Wang Jing.

Zhang Jiazhen didn't give up. He made a few more calls, and then he gave up completely.

TVB will not speak out in support of Wu Yusen either.

Chen Kexin said frankly that his daughter had just been born and he didn’t want to cause any trouble!
Wu Yusen stood up and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Just consider it as giving Han Saping some face!"

In fact, Wu Yusen knew it clearly in his heart.

This is just a polite remark made to myself.

If even the people in the Hong Kong circle don’t support you, then what’s the point of saying anything?

Don't end up like Zeng Zhiwei, that would be embarrassing.

What's more, his headache now is that once the casting for "Red Cliff" is announced, someone will definitely accuse him of looking down on mainland artistes.

Because the main characters currently confirmed include Zhou Yu played by Chow Yun-fat.

He did plan to recruit several other roles from Formosa.

I don’t know why Li Chen’s vision is so sharp that he can see through his strengths and weaknesses at a glance.

Wu Yusen and Zhang Jiazhen were unaware of the incident once it was reported.

Xiang Huaqiong then warned Zeng Zhiwei and other people who had a grudge against Li Chen.

In addition to Xiang Huaqiang, Yinghuang's people also spread the word that they would not get involved in the dispute between Wu Yusen and Li Chen.

Ying Huang also hopes to get the project of "Father's Love is Like a Mountain 2" from Rongchen Pictures.

How could I help Wu Yusen and get nothing in return?

TVB senior executive Ms. Zhen received instructions from her boss not to bother with those people in Zhangjia Town.

In fact, even without the boss’s instructions, Miss Zhen would not speak up for Wu Yusen and the others.

They are also strategic partners with Rongchen Pictures.

Rival ATV must be happy to see the dispute with Rongchen Pictures.

In this age where copyright is like toilet paper.

Rongchen Films is probably the only company willing to pay a high price to buy TVB and ATV dramas. A while ago, a popular drama "War and Beauty" was also wanted to be purchased by a video website company in the mainland.

But in front of the wealthy Rongchen Pictures, it is really not enough.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Netizens only saw Li Chen's sharp words and tough style.

However, people in the industry know that all this is due to real strength.

If someone else were to respond like this, I would be speechless.

I'm afraid there is no need for Zhangjiazhen to speak out.

Others had already served Wu Yusen.

The pending three projects of Rongchen Pictures have made film and television companies in the industry jealous.

Ying Huang longed to get "Father's Love is Like a Mountain 2"

There are a lot of unemployed actors in Orange Sky who are hungry for work.

Yu Dong of Bernardo even spoke directly, saying he was willing to buy out the distribution rights of Painted Skin 2 for a guaranteed minimum of 2 million yuan.

It really caught the attention of the industry.

It was reported some time ago that a film producer was willing to buy out and distribute Zhang Yimou's "A City Full of Big Boobs" for a guaranteed 2 million yuan.

But it is unknown which film company it is.

Many people in the industry believe that this is Zhang Dapao's hype.

But in "Painted Skin 2", Bernard really has his voice.

The onlookers thought that Li Chen and Wu Yusen would have a peak showdown.

As a result, both parties remained silent, as if they had been beaten with fifty lashes each.

In the past, when encountering such things, the Hong Kong filmmakers who took sides seemed as if their vocal cords were on collective strike.

No matter how the entertainment reporters asked, these people no longer talked about this topic.

The office of China Film Group Corporation in Sanping.

Han Sanping was a little distracted. He watched Li Chen grow up step by step from nothing.

It can be said that he basically did not contribute much to Li Chen's rise.

Instead, it was Li Chen who helped him a lot.

Han Saping was filled with emotion. It had only been three years.

He could no longer ignore Li Chen's power.

It has developed to this point silently.

Even Director Wang greeted him.

Unknowingly, it has attracted Shanghai Film Group, Wanda, Light Media, Yinghuang, Zhongguoxing, and TVB.

Its tentacles extend across both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, and the Noon Sunshine, which it invested and established, has also established a close connection with CCTV.

China Film Group was also an investor in "Crossing the Guandong", but it did not contribute much.

Hou Hongliang finished the job himself.

The Legend of White Snake, produced by CCTV itself, was broadcast on CCTV-8.

And "Crossing the Guandong" has been confirmed to be broadcast on CCTV-1's prime time.

It really made Han Sanping feel like looking back, the world had become a different place.

What my daughter said yesterday was very right. I must not sit on the wrong side of the fence and make this boy feel disappointed.

Besides, the quality of Lao Wu’s "Red Cliff" still needs to be tested by box office performance and word of mouth.

But Li Chen has never let him down, and he has a treasure trove without realizing it!

Han Saping picked up his phone and called Li Chen.

Li Chen felt a little confused after hanging up the phone.

Why did Han Sanping suddenly change his personality?

Tell him that you have already said hello to Wu Yusen.

If Wu Yusen jumps around again, he will stand on his side!
Li An, another one of the three parties involved, was also annoyed at this time.

The exposure of this incident also made his "Lust, Caution" public.

Liu Yifei doesn't think much of it, but there are many people who are willing to show up for art, even if they really want to do it!
Countless people contacted his company, hoping that Li An would consider it.

But Li An declined them all.

All the female stars in the circle were so envious and jealous of Liu Yifei that they went crazy.

Among them is Jiang Yiyan.

It is true that drought will lead to death, and waterlogging will lead to death.

If they can appear in Li Min's movies, don't even think about asking these actresses to lie down with their legs spread out.

So what if I just give it to Li An to play with for a week?

Liu Yifei really didn't want to talk about this topic with Jiang Yiyan.

But Jiang Yiyan kept on talking and insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter.

"Are you really rejecting Director Li Min's offer?"

"Yan Yan, let's not talk about this anymore, okay? If you don't have anything else to do, I'll hang up first. I have a few announcements to make."

"No, no, no, can't I just stop talking?" Jiang Yiyan sighed.

Liu Yifei didn't even ask her why she sighed, which made Jiang Yiyan extremely embarrassed.

I can only confess: "Yifei, what do you think of me as Zheng Wei in "So Young"?

Liu Yifei also sighed softly. Jiang Yiyan was not the first person to ask her.

Shu Chang and Jiang Xin both asked her this, and her answers were the same.

"Yan Yan, that role has already been given to Yang Mi. I'm sorry, I can't help you."

"What about Ruan Ruan? Ruan Ruan is okay, right?"

Liu Yifei had no choice but to say, "I can help you get an audition opportunity."

Jiang Yiyan was very disappointed and felt that Liu Yifei was just being perfunctory.

Director Li was so angry about you that he went for the championship.

As the official girlfriend, you have no say in the decision about a supporting role, and no one will believe it if you tell others about it.

"Yifei, I haven't asked you for anything, please help me."

Liu Yifei was annoyed and remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "I'll speak for you, but I can't guarantee it."

"well, thanks"

After hanging up the phone, Shu Chang, who was sitting next to him, joked with a smile.

"It's hard to be Brother Chen, and it's not easy to be Brother Chen's girlfriend either."

Since she was scolded by Li Chen last time, she has become much more obedient.

He didn't dare to change the show at will, and when he met Li Chen, he didn't call him Director Li, but just called him Brother Chen.

Liu Yifei pinched Shu Chang's face hard: "You are so annoying."

"Let go, you're hurting me, Xixi." Shu Chang kept slapping Liu Yifei's hands and yelling.

"What are you doing here today!"

"Okay, okay, stop bothering me. You helped me get the role, so I have to come over to reward you!" Shu Chang approached and said affectionately.

Although she didn't get a role in "So Young".

But Sissi helped her get a role in "Bad Genius", which was also good.

Including the upcoming filming of "The Deer and the Cauldron", she has also made a lot of money this year.

Liu Yifei had a small gathering with her bestie, and Li Chen also had a party.

In the Sanyuan private room of Changan Club.

Sitting there are Li Chen, Wang Changtian, and Cao Guowei.

"You didn't spend the weekend with your girlfriend, but invited us two out for tea. Is this still the Director Li who would risk his life for his beloved?"

Wang Changtian and Cao Guowei joked.

Cao Guowei smiled and didn't say anything. The two didn't know what Li Chen wanted to do with this game today.

"Mr. Cao is about to take over. Let's celebrate for him in advance today."

Cao Guowei's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Did you arrange an undercover agent in our Sina?"

"Hahaha, you Sina are allowed to arrange paparazzi to follow me every day, but I am not allowed to pay attention to you?" Li Chen laughed.

Wang Changtian and Cao Guowei also laughed.

"I'll introduce a friend to you two later. I'm sure you two know each other. He was once a competitor of Mr. Cao."

Wang Changtian and Cao Guowei looked at each other.

"A lone brave man?" Cao Guowei asked.

Li Chen smiled and nodded.

"Brother, your moves are getting bigger and bigger. Guo Wei and I can hardly keep up with you." Wang Changtian said meaningfully.

These were his real thoughts. Li Chen's series of actions were dazzling.

Especially investing in Gu Yongkeng's video website, which is purely a money-burning job.

At least for now, no one has emerged victorious in the fierce competition among video websites, and no one has found a profitable model.

They had discussed privately the purpose of Li Chen doing this, but they just couldn't see through it.

"You two, please help Gu Yongkeng as much as you can. Thank you in advance." Li Chen said with a smile.

"Brother, since you rarely ask for my help, I will definitely give you this favor. I also want to see how far Gu Yongkeng can go with the Heyi Network." Wang Changtian said.

Cao Guowei didn't say anything, his eyes flickered, but he was thinking about what his future path should be.

Li Chen thought to himself that it was not the right time for Sina to start working on Weibo.

At least we have to wait until Cao Guowei has firmly established himself in power and has the right to speak.

Cao Guowei is about to take over as CEO of Xinlang, and Gu Yongkeng is just starting out.

Li Chen couldn't let his heart get cold.

That's why I set up this game today.

I hope Gu Yongkeng’s Heyi.com can catch up with Guangxian and Sina.

We share what we have with each other and lay the foundation for future cooperation.

Gu Yongkeng didn't know what Li Chen asked him to do today. He refused the interview that day, which made Gu Yongkeng very unhappy.

After all, you are the major shareholder of HeyTeam, but you don't even agree to this request.

When he arrived at the Chang'an Club and met Wang Changtian and Cao Guowei, Gu Yongkeng suddenly became enlightened.

Li Chen didn't need to explain much, he knew what today's situation meant.

　Thank you for your support, especially Qiu Feng Shao Luo Ye, who cast 10 votes. I thought I could only cast 5 votes. Thank you, thank you. Although there is no prize money for less than votes, I am happy to see the monthly ticket reminder pop up every now and then. At least it shows that some people like to read. I hope that I can break through monthly votes this month, and we can also draw a prize.
