Chapter 178: A heartless man? A promiscuous woman?
Li Chen's firing was undoubtedly the fuse that detonated the explosives.

Netizens are the spark that ignites the fuse.

"It turns out that we are all suckers, contributing to Zhang Weiping's dream of getting rich just for the sake of Lao Mouzi's reputation."

"The Curse of the Golden Flower, which no one in the US watched, is our proud Oscar-winning blockbuster!"

"It's a hodgepodge of movies, TV and music. It's such a fucking image."

"Lao Mouzi is talking about brotherhood and old friendship, and he doesn't care about the lives of us fans."

"Leo is still the most carefree person. No matter if you are Zhang Yimou or Zhang Yimou, I will still criticize you even if your movie is bad."

"Unlike me, I thought it was a bad movie even after watching it, but I still suspected that it was because I was not good enough and did not know how to appreciate it. After all, he is Zhang Yimou!"

"Are you going to win an Oscar or to show off?"

The previous negative reviews of the dirty jokes caused the box office of "Curse of the Golden Flower" to fluctuate greatly.

Although the box office of 24 million in the first weekend was impressive, it only broke 1.5 million in the following six days until the th.

Now Li Chen has openly made the North American box office and Rotten Tomatoes index public, and the box office of "Curse of the Golden Flower" has once again shaken.

After Christmas, the box office was only 1.6 million.

Breaking 200 million will certainly not be a problem, but breaking 300 million is just a pipe dream.

Zhang Weiping was furious and named Li Chen as a person of bad character in the media.

The purpose of doing this is nothing more than to clear the way for the upcoming release of "Ip Man".

The heated public opinion even prompted writer Wang Shuo to join in the fun when he was a guest at Sina to promote his new book.

"I have always said that Zhang Yimou is just a decorator, and Zhang Weiping is the owner, and I have always insisted that there will be no more Zhang Yimou after "To Live""

The host asked about Wang Shuo, and said this to agree with Li Chen's remarks.

Wang Shuo said: "Don't compare me with him, I am a writer and he is a director."

"Those two books he wrote are nothing in my eyes. At most they are better than that thief Guo Jingming."

“What’s the most influential writer-director born in the 1980s? I don’t even know what the 1980s generation is!”

Netizens are really overwhelmed by the drama.

I thought Wang Shuo criticized Zhang Yimou to support Li Chen.

After all, Li Chen is just like him. He always speaks whatever he wants to say and doesn't care about other people's life or death.

Unexpectedly, Wang Shuo didn't give face to anyone at all, even scolding Li Chen.

Now many netizens and people with ulterior motives went to Li Chen’s blog to challenge him.

"I found that Leo seems to have never cared about the Beijing circle."

"Wang Shuo's ex-girlfriend Xu Cainv, it seems that Xiao Lizi and her have never had any intersection."

"Wang Shuo's good friend Xiao Gang Pao is even more at odds with Xiao Li Zi. Wang Shuo is standing up for his ex-girlfriend and brother."

"Isn't this the second Zhang Yimou? The difference is that Zhang Yimou made a movie called Curse of the Golden Flower, while Wang Shuo wasted some time."

Li Chen sneered in his heart and no longer responded to the media.

Replied to the writer directly on Sina Blog.

“It’s not surprising that people born in the 1980s don’t know him. After all, he was born in the 1950s.”

“But if those born in the 1950s don’t know about those born in the 1980s, they are either ignorant or out of touch with the times.”

"Also, don't mention Beijing circle, Shanghai circle, Hong Kong circle, Northwest circle to me. I hate these small circles the most."

"A toad lies on the feet, but does not bite people."

"Rongchen Pictures is targeting the entire Chinese-speaking world, the Chinese community, not just a small family!"

Netizens were even more excited. Wang Shuo was unreasonable, and Li Chen was even more unreasonable.

The attack not only targeted the small Beijing circle, but also included the Shanghai circle, the Northwest circle, and even the Hong Kong circle.

He is simply a man of great strength and is not afraid of anyone.

The artists in the circle all widened their eyes.

There are so many melons, one after another, I can’t eat them all.

But the artists dared not say a word.

Probably because none of the big guys who were competing in the next match were people they could comment on.

Even Gongli, when named by Li Chen, chose to turn off her phone to deal with the nagging reporters.

As soon as Li Chen’s blog was published, Wang Shuo was furious.

For a moment, everyone seemed to be quiet.

Netizens are talking about it with great relish. "Sure enough, if Leo doesn't come out, no one can compete with him. When Leo comes out, the world is at peace."

"Leo dares to criticize Wang Shuo because Leo's fame has nothing to do with Wang Shuo."

"Unlike Lao Mouzi, Xiao Gangpao, Jiang Wen and others, whose famous works are all adapted from Wang Shuo's novels. They are the shortest eaters, how dare they criticize Wang Shuo!"

"Lao Mouzi was called a decorator by Wang Shuo, and he could only laugh and make fun of himself. He was indeed busy decorating his studio during this period."

The competition among the heroes in the Lunar New Year box office is exciting, so Zhang Weiping will not bother with Li Chen for the time being.

Focusing on the box office of "Curse of the Golden Flower", the topic is still different every day.

The war of words with Chow Yun-fat is still going on, but it doesn't seem to be having any effect.

Zhang Weiping used his second trick again, which was to stir up a scandal. Whose scandal was it? Of course, it was about Zhang Yimou and Gong Li.

"An insider from the Curse of the Golden Flower crew revealed that Zhang and Gong have been back together for several months."

As soon as this news came out, the words "Curse of the Golden Flower", Zhang Yimou, and Gong Li appeared again on various websites and media publications.

Even the premiere of "Ip Man" held at the Great Hall of the People on January 6 attracted a lot of attention to the news of Zhang Gong's reunion.

However, the red carpet ceremony and guests attending the premiere of "Ip Man" were in no way inferior to the lineup of "Curse of the Golden Flower".

Li Chen, Han Saping, Boss Yang, Wang Changtian and other big names in the circle all appeared.

Artists from Rongchen Pictures, Yinghuang, Guangguang, and Orange Sky came out in full force.

The scene was star-studded, which was even more rare.

Kung Fu stars such as Cheng Long and Li Lianjie as well as Hong Kong's own Hong Jinbao also appeared in the City Hall.

It was as lively as a Kung Fu feast.

Li Chen also restrained his edge and tried to talk only about "Ip Man" and nothing else.

The hosting duo of Liu Yan and Xie Nan still delivered witty remarks.

When Liu Yan asked Li Chen, who was sitting in the audience, why he chose Zhang Jin on the stage to play Ip Man.

Li Chen said frankly: "I just hope that there will be more Cheng Longs and Li Lianjies in China. After all, these two are not young anymore."

"Hong Kong Island has Zhen Zidan, Mo Shaohuang can take over, and the mainland also needs a newcomer like Zhang Jin to carry on the tradition."

As soon as Li Chen finished speaking, Zhang Jin, who was standing on the stage, actually burst into tears.

Who says men don't shed tears easily? It's just that men haven't reached the point of being sad.

Xie Nan took the opportunity to ask Zhang Jin if he was particularly grateful to Director Li.

Zhang Jin said with a smile: "The ancients once said that one should repay the kindness of a mentor with a spring of gratitude. I now understand what that means, just like me now."

Everyone in the audience applauded. Tonight's premiere of "Ip Man" was undoubtedly a success.

Zhang Jin's screen image and fighting scenes are much better than Zhen Zidan's.

The grand premiere was reported the next day.

But it was robbed by a piece of news about "Curse of the Golden Flower".

Sina Entertainment News

"There is absolutely no possibility for Zhang and Gong to get back together. Someone who knows the situation revealed that Gong was cheating on her first!"

It turns out that he was not unwilling to give a marriage certificate back then.

The insider also revealed that if it were the Internet age now, Gong’s true face would have been exposed long ago.

How could the man be allowed to bear the infamy alone for so many years?

In addition, insiders also revealed that another important reason for their breakup was that Gong verbally abused the other party's daughter.

Even Sina wrote a line of words under this news: Sina publishes this news only to convey more information, and does not mean that Sina agrees with the above views.

Miss Liu, who seldom paid attention to gossip, also widened her eyes and pulled Li Chen's arm.

"Look, is this real?"

Miss Liu found it hard to believe that the woman could be such a person.

Li Chen didn't know how credible the news was.

But in an instant I immediately understood what the scandal from a few days ago was all about.

It turns out that everything was just a hype directed and acted by Zhang Dapao himself.

He really used all means possible, not only clearing his good brother Zhang Yimou's grievances, but also promoting "Curse of the Golden Flower".

At the same time, he also disgusted Gong Li, whom he had always looked down upon.

Kill three birds with one stone.
awesome.
