Chapter 186 Rejection of Morris

Many of the guests present today attended the premiere of "Returning to the Roots" on the 10th of last month.

In fact, everyone knows the box office performance of "Return to the Roots".

After Li Chen said this, many people secretly looked at Li Chen and Han Saping tacitly.

Yang Mi, who was sitting in the second row, leaned over to Yang Siwei and whispered, "Is that what you said, senior?"

She didn't finish the following words.

But Yang Siwei knew what she meant.

She couldn't answer Yang Mi truthfully about this question.

From her own perspective, she certainly supports her boss unconditionally.

After all, the boss was right.

But the distributor of "Return to the Roots" is China Film Group.

She always felt that it was not a good thing for her boss to act so arbitrarily.

Unless Rongchen Pictures remains strong forever.

But won’t the boss run out of ideas one day?

After counting carefully, she found that the boss's only staunch allies were Guangguang and Wanta.

This is because of the combination of Han and Tang Fund.

Others like China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group are merely cooperative partners.

Although Yang Siwei knew it all, he couldn't explain it to Yang Mi.

He could only smile and say in a nonchalant tone: "What are you afraid of? We don't rely on China Film for our livelihood."

"On the contrary, China Film needs to rely on Rongchen Pictures."

"Otherwise, China Film Group will be nothing but a showpiece. Forget about making money. As long as the losses are small every year, Mr. Han will be very lucky."

"It was the boss who gave Director Han the confidence, so don't think we are inferior to China Film Group."

"In the boss's own words, the only person in the world who can play the emotional card with him is Yifei."

"Although this statement is a bit arrogant, considering the boss's current age and strength, it would be abnormal if he wasn't arrogant."

Yang Mi smiled softly and thought to herself that this was true.

The senior is only 24 years old this year, and no one knows how much wealth he has.

But the less people know about it, the more people dare not underestimate it.

What is invisible is the most terrifying, Yang Mi understands this truth.

She has always regarded her senior as her idol and wants to become someone like him one day.

Being able to do whatever one wants in this materialistic entertainment industry.

Yang Mi smiled and muttered: "There is a fight of madness in the world, and Brother Chen took away eight points."

Yang Siwei laughed: "That's right."

Tonight's premiere is bound to be a hot topic.

Whether it is the content of the movie or the topic about Li Chen and Liu Yifei.

All of them are hot topics that have sparked public opinion.

Even Fan Qiaoqiao at the Berlin Film Festival, which has already opened, did not receive much media attention.

As for the other shortlisted candidate, Wang Quanan, no one cared about him.

After the premiere, Han Saping left in a unhappy mood.

He didn't even say hello to Li Chen, and Li Chen didn't bother to care.

He took Miss Liu and went home.

The rest will naturally be handled by Yang Siwei and Wu Bin.

Han Saping was still in a bad mood after returning home, and he was dissatisfied with everything.

Han Jiayi was secretly surprised to see his father like this, and asked with a smile: "Who offended Mr. Han?"

Han Saping was already upset when he heard his daughter didn't even call him dad.

He was even more furious and ignored his daughter with a sullen face.

Han Jianu clung to her father like a piece of taffy, and became even more curious.

He knew that his father was going to attend the premiere. With his father's current popularity, who would dare to displease him?

"Tell me, who made you angry? Aren't you too brave?"

Han Sanping glared at his daughter and said, "I'll be very lucky if you don't make me angry several times a day."

Since she couldn't get anything out of him, Han Jianu snorted and went back to watching TV.

Han Sanping kept thinking about what Li Chen said.

In fact, this promotional method of inflating the first-week box office was not invented by China Film.

If we really want to talk about its origin, it was brought over from Hong Kong Island.

Like "Initial D", of course, Huayi is also an expert in this area.

Which of these movies, The Banquet or The Warring States, has inflated box office revenue?
Who will watch it if it’s not filled with water?

Even he acquiesced to this kind of propaganda.

While Li Chen made his position clear today, he also thought seriously about whether this kind of publicity method is beneficial to the industry.
Maybe for a good movie, this kind of promotional method will do more good than harm.

After all, it can allow more people to go to the cinema.

But a bad movie?
The audience paid for their tickets and could not get a refund.

Are you willing to go to the cinema again next time?

Han Sanping let out a long sigh, his emotions towards this kid Li Chen becoming more and more complicated.

The premiere was a blast.

That night, it was featured in the entertainment section of the portal website. "Li Chen and Liu Yifei appeared at the premiere of "Chinese Partners" holding hands, and the two made a lifelong promise in public."

"Li Chen bluntly said that he doesn't care about the box office, and that it's better to be realistic. His words seemed to be a veiled reference to the recent scandal of box office fraud."

"The head of China Film Group left in anger and fell out with Li Chen."

"Chinese Partners" has received unanimous praise from the guests, and the leading actors Deng Chao are optimistic that the box office will exceed 100 million yuan."

The media just want to watch the fun, no matter how big the incident.

He and Han Sanping are not as exaggerated as the media says.

At most, it will end in a bad mood.

Fans are eager to add fuel to the fire.

Li Chen's defense and confession of love to Liu Yifei on the red carpet of the premiere made Liu Yifei's fans very happy.

The recognition of Li Chen is getting higher and higher.

But there are also netizens who do not buy it and are pessimistic about it.

"Only Liu Yifei believes Leo's love words. Big directors are not unfaithful? I'd rather believe that sows can climb trees!"

"Little Leo has grown so powerful that he even dares to make insinuations against the head of China Film Group!"

"Because of Leo's fame, I will make an exception and go out to watch "Chinese Partner" on the first day of the Chinese New Year!"

Li Chen didn't take the discussions on the Internet seriously.

The next day, Liu Yifei drove him to the airport. Liu Yifei did not get out of the car, but seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Li Chen asked curiously, "What's wrong? Why are you and I still hesitating about something?"

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "It's okay. Say hello to my uncle and aunt for me."

Li Chen held her hand and smiled, "What's the matter?"

Liu Yifei hesitated before saying, "You know William Morris, right?"

Li Chen nodded with a thought in his mind: "It's Zhang Ziyi's agency. Wasn't the movie "Geisha" given to Zhang Ziyi by Morris?"

"But it's not that great. What? Did they contact you?"

Liu Yifei nodded: "They contacted Red Star House and wanted to sign my global agency contract."

Li Chen was well aware of this. He had thought of this day the day William Morris settled in Shanghai.

At present, the mainland actress with the most potential is undoubtedly Miss Liu.

Morris probably also knew that Miss Liu was about to star in "The Forbidden Kingdom", and that another Hollywood A-level production "The Thieves" would be released soon this year.

The most important thing is that behind Miss Liu stand Chiyou and Rongchen Pictures.

She is naturally beautiful and it is no exaggeration to say that her appearance is unmatched in the world at the age of 20.

"You want to ask for my opinion?" Li Chen said with a smile.

Miss Liu nodded: "My mother and the company both hope to sign him. After all, the other party is one of the three major agencies in Hollywood and is very famous."

Li Chen didn't rush to express his opinion, but asked: "What do you think?"

Miss Liu smiled slyly: "I don't want to sign. With you by my side, why should I be afraid of not getting a film contract or attention?"

"Everyone knows that Director Li is a moving spotlight!"

"Being your girlfriend is like having a billboard on my head. I can't have peace wherever I go!"

Li Chen laughed and pinched Miss Liu's cheeks: "I don't admit that. Even without me, the celestial being is destined to have an extraordinary life."

Miss Liu opened Li Chen's annoying big hand: "What do you think?"

Li Chen restrained his smile and said, "I respect your own opinion. There is really no need to sign them. If you sign them, you will not be free. Everything will be arranged by them."

"With a boyfriend like me, any agency is redundant."

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly: "How shameless! But, I just like your shameless look!"

Li Chen sighed: "It's difficult. Fans like Brother Chen's serious look, but some people like him when he's shameless."

"It's so hard to be a man! It's even harder to be a man of a fairy!"

The two flirted for a while, and Li Chen got out of the car alone.

Liu Yifei is also about to enter the training camp to practice martial arts, English, etc.

Reporters were omnipresent, and the news that William Morris had contacted Liu Yifei was leaked by someone.

"Liu Yifei becomes Zhang Ziyi's junior sister?"

"Reporters recently learned that Liu Yifei has signed a contract with William Morris, a famous Hollywood agency."

"The reason why the company chose Liu Yifei this time is largely due to her extraordinary influence and unparalleled popularity in the mainland."

"It was revealed that Liu Yifei's beautiful appearance and refined temperament were considered by the company's top management to represent the classical beauty of Chinese women, and she also has the appearance of a global star."

As soon as the news broke out, Liu Yifei's fans were immediately excited as if the whole world was celebrating together.

They also went to Li Qiaoqiao and Lin Xinru's forums and blogs to show off.

But soon, Red Star House came out to deny the rumor.

The female artists were shocked that Liu Yifei actually refused Morris's contract.

Really confident.

Although the fans felt it was a pity, the fanatical fans only recognized one thing.

All decisions made by Liu Yifei are right.

"It's okay. Who else in the world would have the guts to reject Morris?"

"Who else but the celestial being!"

"Yes, with Leo here, it doesn't matter whether I sign or not."

Liu Yifei rejected Morris, but there was no negative impact.

Instead, she signed her first luxury brand contract.
