Chapter 188 Li Ningyu Invitation

On the 30th, text messages wishing Li Chen a happy new year filled Li Chen’s inbox.

Most of the artists in the entertainment industry seemed to have made an appointment.

Liu Yifei called and wished Li Chen's parents a happy new year.

I don't know what he said to my mother, but she was so amused that she couldn't stop smiling.

Li Chen asked her but couldn't get any answer.

When I turned around and asked my mother, she just smiled and pretended to be stupid.

In the evening, Li Chen watched the Spring Festival Gala with his parents.

When the countdown to New Year’s Eve began, the classic three minutes of darkness from the Spring Festival Gala appeared.

The problem is that Uncle Benshan's sketch "The egg-laying rooster, the fighting rooster among roosters" was too effective and seriously exceeded the time limit.

As a result, subsequent programs were either cancelled or postponed.

Li Chen's parents didn't notice anything.

I just felt that some of the hosts were a bit slow.

But Li Chen is a professional. If he were shooting a movie, he would at least shout "cut" a few times.

The next day, the Spring Festival Gala’s three dark minutes went viral online.

At the same time, "Chinese Partners" also met with the audience on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

But the most eye-catching thing on New Year's Day was not the three words "partners" but the name Wang Quanan.

Following Zhang Yimou, another man from Shaanxi captured the Golden Bear.

When being interviewed by the media, Li Chen almost laughed out loud.

The bald man sighed that he met many beautiful French women at the cocktail party in Berlin.

He and Yu Nan were both stunned.

Li Chen really wanted to expose the true face of this old whore.

You old pervert, just be shocked if you are shocked.

And also dragged Yu Nan into it.

Will a beautiful woman be shocked when she sees a beautiful woman?

However, this guy's aesthetic taste has always been big breasts and fat buttocks.

The foreign model is indeed in line with the bald style.

I just don't know if this guy has played a game in Berlin.

Although Fan Qiaoqiao gained nothing, how could he miss such a good opportunity?

I took my whole family westward, first watching a fashion show in Milan.

Then it was said that he went to France to shoot some fashion blockbuster.

The media was also full of hype, saying that a Hollywood director had taken a fancy to Fan Qiaoqiao.

We strongly invite Fan Qiaoqiao to star in Hollywood movies.

This is after Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Tang Yan and Liu Yifei.

Another Chinese actress going international.

However, "The Devil in My Heart" and "Love Call Transfer" starring Fan Qiaoqiao, which were released in China, were complete failures.

On the first day, the national box office was less than one million and less than six hundred thousand respectively.

Ten days after release, both films lacked momentum.

"The Disciples" and "Chinese Partners" were released one after another.

It even caused many theaters to directly remove "The Haunted Man" from the shelves.

What the hell is this during New Year's Day?

Ever since "Chinese Partners" was released.

It defeated all the films released during the Spring Festival with such overwhelming force that they couldn't even raise their heads.

The best performing co-production film "The Disciples" and "Gemini Thieves", which was released on the same day as the first day of the Lunar New Year, were no match for the partners.

Bernard, the distributor of "The Disciples", claimed that "The Disciples" was released for two days.

Although Valentine's Day coincides with the release of the Hollywood blockbuster "Night at the Museum".

But the shows were still packed and the box office exceeded 20 million.

After five days of release, the box office exceeded 4500 million.

But no matter how much they boasted, "Chinese Partners" was blown out on the first day of its release.

The show that was packed with people was the popular "Chinese Partners", not the crazy watered-down "Disciples".

Just imagine, who would want to watch a movie about ghosts, drugs, etc. during the Spring Festival?

The Spring Festival period is of course the home ground for comedy films.

"Partners" crushed all its rivals during the Spring Festival on its first day box office.

1550 million!
The word of mouth was as expected, with some good and some bad, but generally good.

“Never experienced it, but I can relate to it!”

“The years of “So Young” seem to be closer to my school life, but the story of “Partners”, which is completely unrelated to it, has touched my heart.”

"Little Leo is indeed a golden storyteller!"

“The most amazing thing about this film is that people from the 50s to the 80s can find themselves in it.”

“This is “So Young”! Youth is not just about handsome men and beautiful women, nor is it exclusive to one generation. Youth belongs to everyone.”

"Leo's aesthetic taste is always on point. Whether it's Ruan Ruan or Su Mei, they're both beautiful women." "If you don't agree to me, I'll drag you into the lake with me! Wow, it turns out you can pick up girls this way!"

"The egg sellers on the street make more money than you, why don't you join my partnership? I'll work if there are chickens to eat! Do you want to eat or work???"

The classic lines from "The Partners" were spoofed into short videos by netizens.

The stories of Xindongfang’s three partners are also much talked about.

Even Lao Yu, who was not optimistic about the project at the beginning, unexpectedly spoke out, as he did not expect the effect of "Partners" to be so good.

Xin Dong Fang’s stock prices have risen!

This truly achieved the win-win goal that Xu Xiaoping and Li Chen had hoped to achieve beforehand.

Rongchen Pictures won both box office and word of mouth.

Xindongfang also received more attention and its stock price increased.

This was unexpected for people in the industry. It turns out that movies can be done this way.

It is amazing that a movie can actually boost the stock price of a company outside the industry.

After one week of release, "Partners" grossed 1.45 million yuan.

This also made Han Sanping of China Film Group, a partner of Rongchen Pictures, overjoyed.

Even the unpleasantness at the premiere was forgotten.

After all, money is the most cost-effective.

With money, China Film Group can do things more freely.

For example, the upcoming support for domestic films.

Han Sanping knows very well that most of the nearly eight domestic films do not make money.

However, China Film still has to provide financial support to these old, middle-aged and young directors who have no commercial box office appeal.

Who makes China Film the leading company?
After the Spring Festival, the filming of "The Holy Spirit" continued and Miss Liu continued to practice martial arts!
"Action!"

In the small bedroom.

Deng Chao came in from outside the door, and Zhang Manyu on the ground moved back subconsciously.

I don't know what the bloody thing in the tweezers in her "son's" hand is.

Deng Chao sneered in his heart, his eyes showed no fluctuation at all.

To prove that the woman in front of him was not his mother.

He cut off a piece of flesh from his thigh.

He didn't care at all about the blood that was already soaked on his thigh.

Step by step, he approached the woman on the ground.

"Eat it!"

Zhang Manyu looked at her 'son' in front of her with a devilish smile, and understood everything.

"Crack!"

Deng Chao and Zhang Manyu turned around at the same time and looked at Director Li who had called for a stop.

"Director Li, is there something wrong with me?" Deng Chao spoke first with a smile.

Li Chen nodded: "In your smile, I only see gloating."

"Remember, you are a cold-blooded debt collector. Now you are just cruel and indifferent, even perverted!"

"Take a break before continuing."

Deng Chao rubbed his cheeks vigorously: "Okay, Director Li, I'll think about it."

Zhang Manyu smiled, walked aside, lit a cigarette, and chatted with Li Chen.

Li Chen looked at Zhang Manyu's delicate face and his heart moved.

"Sister Manyu, after this drama, there is another one. Are you interested?"

Zhang Manyu smiled and asked, "What aspect? What's the subject?"

Li Chen smiled and said, "You should have heard of The Sound of Wind. There is a protagonist named Li Ningyu in it."

“You can read the original novel.”

“Although this is a mainstream movie, I don’t intend to make it into a mainstream documentary.”

“It’s about injecting some new elements into it in the way of a commercial film.”

"Think about it carefully. I think this role is also a challenge for you."

"The other female lead is Zhou Xun from my company."

"I am really looking forward to seeing the two of you, the two international film queens, perform in a show!"

“Is this just another version of the Double J Project?”

Li Chen's eloquence made Zhang Manyu somewhat moved.

I promised Li Chen that I would read the novel carefully before making a decision.

Li Chen was not in a hurry. Although Zhang Manyu was a little older, she did not look old.

Li Ningyu is six or seven years older than Gu Xiaomeng.

But the Li Qiaoqiao chosen by Chen Guofu is a few years younger than Zhou Xun.

Although it is not inconsistent, it is just a matter of personal preference.

Li Chen hopes that Zhang Manyu can leave more memorable roles.
