Chapter 160 Miss Liu's Transparency
Although Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang are gone.
But others won't leave.
When two tigers fight, there must be one injury.
Rongchen Pictures and Huayi have a falling out.
Orange Sky, Bona, and Star Media were all happy to watch the fun.
The premiere is still going on.
Han Sanping glanced at Li Chen and said, "Did you do this on purpose today?"
Li Chen laughed: "Boss Han, don't you think that the bad habits in our film industry are getting worse and worse?"
"If this continues, no one will be willing to make movies with their heart. They will just be after the money."
"Choose the one with the most fans! No matter if he has acting skills or not."
"That little pop star, do you think Zhang Weiping was attracted by his acting skills?"
"This is not a friendly way to train new recruits. I want to put a damper on the arrogance of these two today."
Han Sanping said no more.
If you think about it carefully, what Li Chen said makes sense.
Although a large number of investors and coal bosses have poured into the film and television industry.
But a few came for the movie.
Even Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, and Zhang Yimou, the leading figures in the mainland film industry.
They all went for the so-called big productions and blockbusters with big casts.
It doesn’t matter if the reputation is bad, as long as you make money, that’s enough.
This is indeed of no benefit to the talent training in the film and television industry.
If it is true as Li Chen said, everyone will go for this big production.
When selecting actors, everything is determined by box office performance, not their acting skills.
I am afraid that China’s film industry will become increasingly inferior.
Logically speaking, these are what you should consider.
I didn't expect that Li Chen would be the one walking ahead.
After the premiere, the cocktail party that followed was a great time for all parties to toast and socialize.
Wu Kebo and Wang Jinghua both walked forward.
Wang Jinghua smiled and said, "Director Li, the movie is very well made."
Li Chen guessed that the subtext in Wang Jinghua’s mind at this moment was: Li Chen, good job.
Since Wang Jinghua left Huayi.
This number one agent in Beijing has actually become a stranger to the two Wangs.
Li Chen responded to Wang Jinghua with a few words.
Zhang Ziyi took the opportunity to come up, holding a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Director Li, I haven't thanked you for speaking up for me last time."
"I wonder if Director Li would be willing to honor me with his presence. Let me host you tomorrow as a token of my gratitude."
Li Chen smiled and said, "I can help you once, twice, but I can't help you all the time."
"You still have to be strong yourself. You are already an international celebrity now."
"Don't be afraid to say anything just because someone in the Hong Kong circle says something about you."
"As long as you didn't start the trouble, you should fight back when necessary."
"Today, the mainland is no longer comparable to those in Hong Kong and Taiwan in terms of both market and film talent."
"Be more confident and live up to your name, 'International Zhang.'"
Zhang Ziyi was a little embarrassed.
Although she was educated, for some reason, she didn't feel any disgust at all.
Instead, I felt very warmed: "Thank you Director Li, I'll remember it."
"No need to eat. Next time there's a suitable role, I'll find you. Just don't refuse it."
Zhang Ziyi was very happy and said with a smile: "It is my honor that Director Li asked me to come. How could I refuse?"
The two were talking.
Yang Siwei walked up from the side.
Nodded to Zhang Ziyi.
Zhang Ziyi was very tactful. She greeted Li Chen and then walked aside with an excuse.
"Boss, your speech has been posted online? Zhang Weiping and Hua Yi may not let this go."
Li Chen laughed: "Siwei, remember this. As long as Rongchen Pictures does not fall, any enemy is just a paper tiger."
"Just go for it. I'll hold up the sky if it breaks."
"Isn't Zhang Weiping known as a marketing expert? Why don't you give him a good fight."
"Let's see whether you, a top student with a formal education, are better, or he, a random person who just changed his career, is better."
"I understand, boss, don't worry."
"Director Li, Brother Li, my boss Li, can you please not let Hua Yi and I sit together next time?"
"I just don't sit in the first row. I sit in the second row with Siwei."
"I feel more comfortable than sitting with Mr. Wang and Director Feng."
Zhou Xun came over and complained to Li Chen.
Yang Siwei suppressed her laughter and said, "Sister Xun, I don't even have the qualifications to sit in the first row!"
"How nice of you to lower yourself to sit with us."
The lights flickered at the reception.
Most people's eyes were on Li Chen, intentionally or unintentionally.
Who doesn’t want to run rampant in the entertainment industry?
Who doesn’t want to be like Li Chen?
Say whatever you want.
Do whatever you want without any scruples.
But apart from Li Chen, who else has this ability?
Today, if anyone else dared to say this about Zhang Weiping and Feng Xiaogang.
I was afraid I would have to quit the entertainment industry the next day.
Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Zhu Yawen also gathered around.
Yang Mi came close to Li Chen and said, "Senior, you have offended many people in the Beijing circle."
"Will we be banned by people in the Beijing circle in the future?"
"Mi Mi, are you stupid? The ones who should be worried are the artists of Huayi."
"Should they be worried about being banned by Director Li? What do we have to worry about?"
Zhu Yawen said with a smile.
Li Chen sneered: "What do you mean by Beijing circle or not?"
"It's the Internet age now, why are we still playing in the mountain circles?"
"Isn't it funny? What's going on in your head all day long?"
"I don't see you thinking so much when filming, but you worry about other things."
Several people looked at Yang Mi and laughed.
Yang Mi was embarrassed, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that what Zhu Yawen said was not wrong.
What the senior said is even more correct.
It's the 21st century now. It's no longer the era for this group of people in the Beijing circle to run rampant.
Instead, there are upstarts like seniors who have plenty of resources.
I'm really worrying about nothing.
After Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang left.
The two men got into the car, each with a gloomier look than the other.
No one spoke.
Feng Xiaogang was terribly embarrassed tonight.
Wang Zhonglei is similar.
He actually wanted to scold Feng Xiaogang.
But he knew in his heart that his own people could not cause chaos at this time.
You said this time tonight.
Even if you have conflicts with Li Chen.
Also don't say bad things about other people's movies in front of their premiere.
With Li Chen's personality, will he spoil you?
Aren't you just asking for humiliation?
But Li Chen was too disrespectful to Huayi.
As the CEO of Huayi, he brought Huayi's artists to attend your premiere.
Even if you don't give face to Feng Xiaogang.
Please give face to my brothers Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun.
It won't embarrass me.
The two returned to Huayi headquarters.
Entered Wang Zhonglei’s office.
Wang Zhonglei called his brother directly: "Brother, come to the company, I have something to talk about."
After I hung up the phone, Wang Zhongjun arrived in less than half an hour.
While on the way, he had already seen the news online.
Sina's live text and picture broadcast has put the live broadcast of the premiere ceremony online.
The internet was already abuzz with controversy. Wang Zhongjun entered the office.
My brother and Feng Xiaogang both had gloomy faces.
Wang Zhongjun didn't give them face: "I told you two not to go, not to go, but you insisted on going!"
"Xiaogang, you too, just go. Why do you have to embarrass Li Chen in front of him?"
"Brother, is it still useful to say this now? Today we have torn our relationship with Li Chen."
"Think about how to deal with it." Wang Zhonglei said quickly.
"Now that I remember asking you, why didn't you listen to me when I told you two not to go?"
Wang Zhonglei also sighed and said nothing more.
Feng Xiaogang was not convinced: "Zhongjun, Zhonglei, if you think I have caused you trouble, I will quit Huayi."
Wang Zhongjun felt disgusted.
Although I look down on Feng Xiaogang from the bottom of my heart.
But Feng Xiaogang did make a lot of money for Huayi.
It can be regarded as a barometer of Huayi’s profits.
At this time, Feng Xiaogang cannot be allowed to leave.
Wang Zhongjun winked at his brother.
Wang Zhonglei immediately put on a smiling face, walked to Feng Xiaogang, and pushed him to sit down.
"Look at you, why are you getting anxious while you're talking? We are family, not outsiders."
"The most urgent task now is to unite against the outside world and not fight among ourselves."
He comforted Feng Xiaogang with a few words.
Wang Zhonglei changed the subject: "Brother, we have to think of a solution. We can't just stay passive like this."
Wang Zhongjun said meaningfully: "Wait a little longer, the time is not yet ripe."
Li Chen returned to the villa.
Liu Yifei and Shu Chang haven't left yet.
During these 10 days, the two trained archery in Li Chen's villa during the day.
At night, the two stayed in Liu Yifei's villa.
Anyway, the two families are not far away.
Li Chen just walked in.
Shu Chang said happily: "My brother Chen is back."
The two stood up at the same time. Liu Yifei looked happy. She came up to Li Chen, put her arm around him, and pointed at his mouth affectionately.
"How come you are so talkative?"
Li Chen hadn't reacted yet, he looked at the two girls and smiled: "What did I say?"
Shu Chang smiled and said, "Brother Chen, everything you said is online."
"Xixi saw you say that even if she didn't have you as her boyfriend, she would still be able to achieve good results with her hard work and determination."
"I was immediately overjoyed and praised you to the sky in my ear."
"To be frank, what you said is from the bottom of your heart. It's really insightful! You are really shameless!"
Shu Chang recalled the conversation between the two of them half an hour ago. His eyes flickered, and there was an indescribable feeling.
Time goes back half an hour.
After practicing archery on the lawn, the two changed their clothes, sat in the living room, and saw the report on the Internet.
Shu Chang immediately sighed: "My brother Chen is really powerful and unrivaled. There is no one he dares not to confront."
"Xixi, why do I feel like what Fan Qiaoqiao said seems to be interested in my brother Chen?"
"You better be careful. My brother Chen is now Tang Xuanzang. Who wouldn't want to have a bite of these female demons?"
"If you don't take precautions, you'll suffer sooner or later."
Shu Chang rambled on for a long time.
Liu Yifei was lying on the sofa, cross-legged, holding a book in her hands, and ignored her.
Let her perform a monologue for half a day.
Shu Chang couldn't help but move closer and hugged her bestie: "Did you hear me?"
Liu Yifei still didn't look at Shu Chang: "I heard it, why think so much?"
"Who can predict what will happen in the future? At least now, Li Chen treats me very well and doesn't put too much thought into it."
"Besides, I have Siwei as my helper to keep an eye on it for me."
"When I was with him, I figured out something."
"Given his current status in the film and television industry, if he has any ideas."
"I can't stop him no matter what. If that day really comes, I will part ways with him in peace."
"At least we were happy once. But, I don't know why, I still choose to believe him."
Shu Chang was a little stunned.
She also treated her best friend as a fool.
I didn’t expect my bestie to see everything so clearly.
After a long while, Shu Chang finally said, "I found that since you and my brother Chen have been together."
"It's as if I have been baptized by the Holy Light and have become wise and open-minded."
Liu Yifei found this funny and put down the book in her hand.
She rubbed her best friend's face with both hands: "What you mean by that is that I was very stupid before."
Shu Chang slapped Liu Yifei's hands: "Let go, why do you always like to pinch my cheeks? I'm drooling."
Liu Yifei let go.
Shu Chang sighed, "Ah! My brother Chen's charm is really lethal. You said he is not that handsome?"
"Why do I always become the center of attention wherever I go? Maybe it's natural."
"Actually, I like my brother Chen quite a bit, too."
Liu Yifei frowned and asked, "What did you say?"
Seeing her best friend was about to attack again, Shu Chang quickly begged for mercy: "Hey, hey, hey, don't misunderstand me. I'm talking about the kind of love a sister has for her brother."
Liu Yifei smiled slightly and put down her raised hands.
Shu Chang continued: "Do you remember that last time I got into a lawsuit, Brother Chen scolded me and gave me some advice."
"Actually, I felt warm inside at that time. You know the situation at home."
"How many years has it been? No one has ever scolded me like this."
"At that moment, I really regarded Brother Chen as my own brother."
Liu Yifei knows a lot about her best friend's background.
She didn't want to make the atmosphere so heavy, so she changed the subject.
"Li Chen is your biological brother? Then I am your biological sister-in-law."
Shu Chang chuckled: "Do you have any shame? Wait until you and my brother Chen get the marriage certificate before you tell me."
At this moment, the grand occasion at the premiere of "Father's Love is Like a Mountain 2" has quickly made headlines in the entertainment section of portal websites.
Netizens are divided into two camps.
One faction is pro-Lee, and the other is anti-Lee.
Logically speaking, the two factions should not be evenly matched.
But because Li Chen involved Zhou Jielun.
The little king's fans immediately joined forces with the anti-Li faction and criticized Li Chen in order to defend their idol.
"Is there something wrong with this person? Jie Lun provoked you, so you dragged Jie Lun into this."
"That's right, it's not like our Jie Lun is going to act in your "Curse of the Golden Flower"?"
"Besides, our Jie Lun at least won the Best Newcomer Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards, which shows that his acting skills are also good."
"What's wrong with choosing Jie Lun? How can our willingness to spend money hinder you, Li Chen?"
"Yes, yes, yes, your Jie Lun won the Best Newcomer Award at the Academy Awards, and your Jay Chou is going to win an Oscar!"
"How dare you say that? Don't you see how few films were nominated for last year's Academy Awards?"
"Your Jie Lun, that expressionless face, can act?"
"Oh my god, no matter who plays him, he's Zhou Jie Lun!"
"Li Chen is right. Did Zhang Weiping choose your Zhou Jie Lun because of his acting skills?"
"Don't take Feng Xiaogang's The Banquet to embarrass yourself internationally again. The Douban score is already as low as 6, and you still have the nerve to take it abroad. It's a disgrace to us Chinese."
"Lao Mouzi's works in recent years are like catching a cold, hot and cold."
"In recent years, apart from "A Single Man's Journey", what other works does Zhang Yimou have that he can show off?"
"'Curse of the Golden Flower', the name is hilarious, what kind of soldier would want to be a soldier if he has a golden armor?"
"Since ancient times, China has never seen soldiers wearing golden armor, not even silver armor, let alone golden armor."
Yang Siwei and his four generals are still working overtime in the company to deal with online public opinion.
"Boss Yang, Zhou Jie Lun's fans are crazy. Should we change our strategy?"
Yang Siwei was like a general commanding a battle, issuing orders: "What do you want to change? The boss's style has always been tough."
"Who cares if he's a little superstar or a big superstar? The boss is not wrong. Let's continue!"
"Yes!"
Unexpectedly, the next day, Zhang Dapao still hadn't spoken.
However, many people in Hong Kong and Taiwan jumped out.
Among them is the little king’s godfather: Huang Qiu Sheng.
