Chapter 181 The dream of a wealthy family has not yet been awakened

The next day, two of the first three items on Sina Entertainment were related to Rongchen Pictures.

"Ip Man grossed 7250 million yuan in its first week, twice as much as Huo Yuanjia, which was released in the same period last year."

"Industry insiders commented that Rongchen Pictures has already established a brand effect through the accumulation of word-of-mouth over the past few years."

"Box office revenue exceeding 100 million yuan is already commonplace for Rongchen Pictures. It's something we are used to."

"Liu Yifei's witty remarks at the Internet Festival made netizens jokingly say that the husband sings and the wife follows."

Although "Ip Man" far surpassed Jet Li's "Huo Yuanjia" in the domestic box office.

But in North America, he can't match Jet Li's appeal.

But it is easy to beat "Curse of the Golden Flower".

Today’s headlines are neither about Rongchen Pictures nor about Liu Yifei.

But it is Zhang Ziyi who is studying at the Juilliard School in New York.

The stands of the New York NBA stadium are a great place to officially release gossip.

Zhang Ziyi's new mysterious boyfriend finally surfaced.

Previous speculations about the identity of her boyfriend were like fake news about the Spring Festival Gala, with a new version every day.

From a third-rate French actor to a neighbor of US President Bush.

Then there is the most reliable statement at present - Vivi Nevo, one of Time Warner's largest shareholders.

The two kissed passionately in the stands beside the stadium as if no one was around, which made domestic netizens exclaim that Zhang Yimou is really bold.

In the following days, photos of Zhang Ziyi actively expressing her love to the foreign man and kissing him intimately were released.

A vigorous discussion on patriotism has also been sparked on domestic Internet.

Ever since Zhang Ziyi’s transnational relationship was exposed.

Many domestic websites have set up discussion areas for Zhang Ziyi's new relationship.

It's like the Super Girl contest back then was canvassing for votes.

Some netizens claimed that Zhang Ziyi's open search for a foreign boyfriend was a betrayal of Chinese men.

It also elevates the matter to the level of patriotism.

In a survey conducted by a certain portal website, 60% of netizens disapproved of Zhang Ziyi finding a foreign boyfriend.

The reason is that Zhang Ziyi's dating a foreigner is no longer a matter of her personal preference, but a matter of national dignity.

Some netizens also believe that Zhang Ziyi has never been able to escape Gong Li's shadow.

While Gong Li was being hyped by the media for "Curse of the Golden Flower", she was ignored.

Timely disclosure of new relationship and photos of studying in the United States.

One is to warm up for the new film, and the other is to prove one's own charm.

Zhang Ziyi's supporters believe that Chinese people falling in love with foreigners has nothing to do with patriotism.

What's more, Zhang Ziyi has always had a clear goal and has been working hard in this direction.

This can't be achieved simply by climbing high branches.

She worked very hard and did not bring shame to the Chinese people. Instead, she won a place in the international film industry.

Zhang Ziyi's brother Zhang Zinan also said, "How can you trust things on the Internet?"

He flatly rejected his sister's new relationship.

The pros and cons were arguing endlessly, and some curious people went to Li Chen's blog to ask him what he thought.

Even Miss Liu called, her voice sounding somewhat gloating.

"Director Li, what do you think? My fans asked me to ask you for your answer."

Li Chen cursed in his heart, I am not Yuan Fang!
You always have to ask me for my opinion on everything.

Do you want to find another Di Renjie to help you make the decision?
"Sissi, if you have nothing to do, wash the coals in the fireplace at home. When they are clean, come and ask me."

Miss Liu laughed happily on the phone: "Why don't you go and wash it? If you can't wash it clean, don't come back!"

Li Chen, who was quietly filming "The Holy Spirit" in Hong Kong Island, hung up Miss Liu's boring phone call.

Deng Chao, who was sitting next to Li Chen, put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Zhang Manyu.

Both of them heard Liu Yifei's teasing on the phone.

Zhang Manyu didn't care about these and continued eating.

Deng Chao laughed and said, "Director Li, you have a nickname now, do you know?"

Li Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Deng Chao: "What?"

Deng Chao suppressed his laughter and said seriously, "Entertainment industry encyclopedia!"

Li Chen said with a smile: "Who gave it the name? How come I don't know?"

Seeing that Li Chen was not angry, Deng Chao also smiled and said, "These are all what our artists called privately. It's because you always make predictions come true, and you are always satisfied."

Li Chen didn't want to say more about this matter: "After today's scene is finished, you go and meet up with Director Wu."

Deng Chao's expression calmed down: "No problem, Director Li."

Zhang Manyu will also be shooting a set of commercials for an international brand in the next few days. Deng Chao wants to promote "Chinese Partners", so the crew will temporarily stop working for a few days.

Although Li Chen did not reply to netizens, Miss Liu used his blog very well.

"Love has no borders."

Just six words expressed Li Chen's attitude.

Netizens who support Zhang Ziyi and her fans all praised Li Chen for still being the same Li Chen.

But there are also many people who are disgusted by Li Chen.

"Little Leo is always looking for more, having Liu Yifei is not enough."

"I'm still thinking about Zhang Guoji. Should I add 'I wish you happiness'?"

"Why do you jump out to protect Zhang Guoji whenever he gets into trouble?"

"Back then, he spoke out for Zhang Jie and criticized Wang Jing, and ignored Zhou Runfa."

"Now you see her lying in someone else's arms, are you jealous?"

Liu Yifei, the instigator, was very depressed.

She never thought that she was just saying something fair.

He actually shot himself in the foot.

Faced with netizens who came to her blog to cause trouble, Liu Yifei responded quickly on her own blog.

"I support him. Love knows no borders. He and I hope everyone can find their own happiness!"

Liu Yifei had a lot of fun directing and acting in the film, which stunned a group of artists from Rongchen Pictures.

The number kept flashing in Rongchen Pictures’ QQ group.

"The senior actually replied. This is not like his style. I sent him messages these past two days but he didn't reply to me."

"Mi Mi, you are too naive. Director Li's blog password was set by Xixi!"

"Xiaozhu is right. Yifei has spoken up for the boss more than once. I even asked the boss privately, what if Yifei gets into trouble?"

"What did Director Li say?" Zhou Xun rarely spoke up.

"The boss said that even if the mess is made, he is still there. Otherwise, what is the point of having a man like him?"

"Oh, senior, I'm speechless! Sister Xun, don't be late tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I just finished filming a commercial and I plan not to eat anything until tomorrow, leaving some space for the rich."

"There will be a surprise tomorrow. You will have a new friend." Yang Siwei bubbled.

"I know, he's the young emperor! We don't care, we are women anyway. Xiaozhu, you have to work harder, the number one in our company may have to be replaced in the future!"

"Given my relationship with Sissi, who should I be afraid of?"

"Okay, you're awesome, little pig!"

The next day, Li Chen returned to the company and held a meeting in Conference Room 1.

Yang Siwei and Wu Bin sat on the two sides closest to the top.

Sitting next to Yang Siwei were Tang Yan, Yang Mi, and Zhu Yawen.

Sitting next to Wu Bin is Zhou Xun.

Yang Mi asked curiously, "Director Wu, what are you going to talk about in the meeting today?"

Wu Bing laughed and kept it a secret: "You'll know in a moment."

As the two were talking, Li Chen pushed the door open and came in, along with Deng Chao.

Several people stood up, seemingly not surprised.

Li Chen pressed his hands together and said, "Everyone, please sit down. I don't need to introduce Deng Chao."

"Cooked!"

"Brother Chao."

"Brother Chao!"

Deng Chao clasped his hands together, bowed and said with a smile: "No, Brother Xun, just call me Xiao Dengzi. I can't bear to be called Brother Chao by you."

Zhou Xun also laughed, and then whispered: "Little Dengzi, Little Lizi"

Now the other artists also laughed out loud.

However, seeing the boss's unfathomable expression, they suppressed their laughter.

Zhou Xun reacted immediately and quickly apologized with a smile: "Director Li, I'm sorry, you know I always call you Director Li!"

Zhou Xun's expression is as sincere as it can be, and it's hard to tell whether the actress's acting is genuine or not.

Li Chen gave Zhou Xun a meaningful look and said, "It's okay, Brother Xun. I don't care how you call me in private."

After they sat down, Li Chen said bluntly, "We are all family members from now on. Deng Chao's contract at Oriental Pearl Tower will expire in half a year."

"He found his own way of thinking, you just need to know it."
