Chapter 173 Idol Definition
Li Zhen's words caught Fan Qiaoqiao, who always thought highly of himself, off guard.
She still stubbornly believed that she had some weight in Brother Chen's heart.
I didn't expect to be hit hard today.
Fan Qiaoqiao quickly adjusted his mood.
No matter what, at least Li Chen promised that he would consider me if there was a suitable role in the future.
Looking at the two people in front of me, they are as intimate as a couple of gods.
Fan Qiaoqiao was envious of Liu Yifei and also a little jealous.
"Yifei, Brother Chen is so good to you, you must take good care of her and don't let the female fairy take her away!" Fan Qiaoqiao teased in an instant.
Liu Yifei glanced at Fan Qiaoqiao, and the eye contact between the two seemed to create sparks.
"Don't worry, even if Tang Seng has gone through 81 trials and tribulations, he is still the same Tang Seng."
"In the end, the female monsters are just being sentimental."
Fan Qiaoqiao choked, and Li Chen looked at Miss Liu with some surprise.
This little mouth is sharper than his!
Fan Qiaoqiao smiled awkwardly, turned and walked away.
Li Chen then smiled and said, "Your little mouth is getting sharper and sharper."
Miss Liu snorted: "You forced me to do this!"
The premiere started on time.
It's a uneventful movie, the plot is familiar to everyone and has been explained clearly in the novel.
With the success of "Those Years", "So Young" won't be a surprise.
But I think with the support of fans of the original novel and the participation of popular stars like Hu Ge, the box office will not be too low, at least it will not be a problem to exceed 100 million.
The host teased Liu Dehua on the stage.
"Hua Zai, this is your first time as a producer, how does it feel?"
Liu Dehua laughed and said, "It doesn't feel that great. It's much harder than being an actor."
The host smiled and said: "Father's Love 2" has achieved a good box office of 1.62 million yuan. Netizens are joking that they can no longer call you a box office poison."
"We all know that the previous film, Buried, did not perform well at the box office."
"Netizens even said that no one can take off the label of box office poison from you."
"But now, it has been taken off by Director Li."
"This should be your highest-grossing movie so far. Do you have anything to say to Director Li?"
Liu Dehua glanced at Li Chen who was smiling in the audience.
"Li Chen has profound skills and helped me detoxify. I have to thank him."
"It not only helped me get rid of the label of box office poison, but also made me a qualified investor. I finally don't have to lose money."
"From now on, you don't have to tell me that I'm bankrupt every now and then."
The host and guests all laughed.
The host threw the question to Li Chen again.
"Speaking of this, I would like to ask a question on behalf of the majority of netizens."
"Director Li, it seems that since Buried, Andy Lau is the Hong Kong artist you have worked with the most."
"Whether it's roles or investments, Andy Lau's influence can be seen in many of Rongchen Pictures' films."
"Are you also a fan of Andy Lau? But I remember you only publicly admitted that you are a fan of Ms. Zhang Manyu."
Li Chen looked at the host on the stage and took the microphone.
This kind of question didn't bother him at all.
"That's right, I'm not a fan of Brother Hua!"
“But I’m a fan of his!”
Liu Dehua's fans and followers at the scene laughed and applauded loudly.
When the applause died down, Li Chen continued, "Brother Hua is my idol."
"His character and acting skills are well-received."
"The most precious thing is that he has been working hard to do something meaningful for Hong Kong films within his ability." "As a fellow Chinese filmmaker, I will definitely support him."
"The word idol only refers to the number of fans."
"Only those who have been persistent like Brother Hua and have truly made contributions to Chinese-language films can be considered idols and deserve the title of idol."
The host took over the conversation: "Director Li's summary is really good!"
"I think that the definition of an idol in the future will depend on whether or not there is a fan like Director Li."
The guests at the scene laughed and applauded.
The host turned his attention to Yang Mi again.
"Mi Mi, this is your first big screen masterpiece. Do you regret that the leading actor is not Director Li?"
"After all, Director Li has two novels, and he and Yifei are the male and female protagonists in the other one."
Yang Mi smiled and said, "I don't regret it. Senior is too famous and has too strong aura. I feel pressured to act opposite him."
"So you have no pressure acting with Pan Yueming?"
"Then I have to ask Director Li, Director Li, we have already watched the movie, what do you think of Mimi's acting skills?"
Yang Mi looked at Li Chen with some trepidation.
Wang Zhonglei was laughing in his heart in the audience. He wanted to see if Li Chen would lie with his eyes open.
Even he could see how immature Yang Mi's acting skills were. If he were to give her an evaluation, the answer would be just two words: no.
Li Chen glanced at Yang Mi with a smile in his eyes.
"Acting is something that requires systematic learning, accumulation of experience, and one's own thinking."
"Yang Mi is very smart. She is a student and a newcomer, so she has a lot of room for growth."
"I am always very tolerant of newcomers. They need time to grow and I will not easily define them."
"It's not easy to be admitted to Beijing Film Academy with the first place in the major."
"I never doubted whether Yang Mi would be popular or famous. This is beyond doubt."
"I have high expectations for her. As long as she is willing to calm down and work on her acting skills, she will become a qualified actor sooner or later."
Yang Mi looked at Li Chen with her big eyes on the stage, somewhat excited.
Many people at the scene were somewhat disapproving.
Although Yang Mi's conditions are good, they are not amazing.
Compared with actresses with outstanding looks like Fan Qiaoqiao and Liu Yifei, she is not even a little bit behind.
He can't even be compared with acting talents like Li Qiaoqiao and Zhou Xun.
But when Li Chen said this, no one dared to refute it.
Now that he has joined Rongchen Pictures, no one doubts whether he will become famous.
Because it will definitely happen, it's just a matter of time.
In the entertainment industry, Zhou Xun, Tang Yan and Yang Mi have been given the title of the Three Golden Flowers of Rongchen Pictures.
She is on par with the four little beauties.
Zhou Xun is firmly in the top tier, Tang Yan has also become a first-tier actress, and now only Yang Mi is left.
The premiere of "So Young" is over.
Reports from the scene quickly made their way online.
Li Chen's definition of idol and his comments on Yang Mi sparked heated discussions online.
"Leo's every speech is profound. When it comes to idols, starting with Andy Lau, don't call anyone an idol anymore!"
"If Yang Mi hadn't had Leo backing her up, it would be a miracle if she could become popular. Her little square face really looks like a young beef bun from a distance."
"Little Leo dotes on Tang Yan and Yang Mi a little too much, doesn't he? He treats my fairy like air. Only one movie has been released in a year. Does he not want to be a boyfriend anymore?"
"The brains of those above have collapsed. Look at Chen Hong's development path. As the other half of a big director, she is definitely heading behind the scenes."
"Look at how well Producer Chen handles the poet. If he wants to act, he can make a cameo appearance. If he doesn't want to act, he can take care of the studio at home. Let your fairy learn from him!"
