Chapter 194: April's melons are too much to take in
"Thieves Gate" began to be promoted around the world in April.

It will be screened worldwide on September 7th.

Because Liu Yifei had received martial arts training in advance, she began flying around the world with the crew of "The Thieves" in April.

Tim called and said that The Conjuring had already started filming and he had agreed with Li Chen on the release date.

Tim also started promoting the film "Rogue One" with the crew, and also served his boss's wife.

Li Chen was overseeing the editing and post-production of "The Holy Spirit" at the company.

While promoting the progress of the "The Sound of Wind" project.

The script has been submitted for almost two months.

There is more than one review department for this type of topic.

The propaganda department and relevant departments must review it.

The review usually takes at least two to three months.

Li Chen first finalized several actors for "Draw the Bow, Dad".

Except for Dilireba and Hazikezi who were selected in advance from all over the country.

When it comes to choosing parents and the role of mother, Li Chen chose his future mother-in-law: Sister Xiaoli!

Liu Xiaoli was wearing a loose white home clothes. Even at this age, she still maintained a slim figure.

As expected of a dance student.

"Let me act?"

Miss Liu was holding a cup of coffee, looking a little surprised.

Li Chen laughed: "Auntie, the Queen Mother is acting."

"Does Sissi's mother need to act? She is the real mother!"

Liu Xiaoli thought about it and realized that she was almost fifty years old.

Starring in two dramas in a short period of time made her feel both amused and annoyed.

"Can I do it, Li Chen?"

"The Queen Mother in that drama actually only had one shot, so I agreed."

"And I've read the script of your play, and the mother has quite a few parts in it."

Li Chen laughed: "Auntie, I can understand that you don't have confidence in other roles."

"But if you want to play mother and daughter with Sissi, is there anyone in the world more suitable than you?"

Liu Xiaoli smiled gently: "Your mouth is as sweet as honey. No wonder you kidnapped my daughter."

Li Chen scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. Why did these words sound so uncomfortable?

It was not until this time that Liu Xiaoli felt that Li Chen was a bit like a big boy.

"That's settled, Auntie."

"Okay, one movie is still a good one, two movies is still a good one. I promised an outsider, so I can't disapprove of you, one of my own."

"But let me make this clear first. If I don't act well, please don't take our relationship into consideration. I'm sorry to say that."

Li Chen smiled and said, "That's for sure, Auntie."

"When I joined the crew, there were only two types of people in my eyes: actors and crew members."

Liu Xiaoli has been confirmed to play the role of the father, and Li Chen prefers Zhang Fengyi to play it.

The next day when he went to the company, Li Chen handed these matters over to Yang Siwei.

Yang Siwei seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter? Look at you, are you going to resign or ask for a raise?" Li Chen said with a smile.

Yang Siwei said awkwardly: "Boss, Xiao Fan came to see me yesterday."

Li Chen raised his eyebrows and waited for Yang Siwei's next words.

Yang Siwei said with a stiff upper lip: "She wanted to give me some shares before, but I didn't want them."

"She told me yesterday that she wanted me to invest in the first drama her studio was planning to produce."

Li Chen sneered: "I don't care, this is your private matter, you don't need to tell me."

"But let me remind you that you are the publicity director of Rongchen Pictures."

"Everything you say and do will be taken by the media as representing me."

"I don't want to hear gossip about Rongchen Pictures and Fan Qiaoqiao Studio. Am I making myself clear enough?"

Yang Siwei understood that her boss was still her boss.

They say they won't interfere with your personal investments.

But after Rongchen Pictures put on the big hat of publicity director, would she still dare to invest?
"I understand, boss."

Li Chen waved his hand and let Yang Siwei go out.

In April, there were one scandal after another, all of them were about the top female stars in the circle.

First, Zhou Xun and her boyfriend were caught by the media showing off their affection.

Gao Yuanyuan and Xia Yu, who were filming the drama "A Romantic Encounter" right after, moved the drama to the stage. It was revealed by the media that Gao Yuanyuan stayed overnight at Xia Yu's apartment, and they did not meet even though they were in the same city.

The onlookers had no time to catch their breath.

After the failure of Baihua, Li Qiaoqiao, who claimed to be a lotus in the entertainment industry, was revealed to have been married for many years.

The mysterious husband behind the scenes is a senior executive of a company, ten years older than her.

The two had gotten married as early as the 1990s.

The most important thing is that many neighbors in the high-end apartment where the two lived confirmed that this was true.

Even Li Qiaoqiao's sister, her agent Li Yu, had their cell phones transferred to the paging station.

The other Fan Qiaoqiao was not willing to be left out, and his new agent Mu Xiaoguang surfaced.

She also has a lot of covert conflicts with her good sister Xiaoyanzi in Return of the Condor Heroes.

Fan Qiaoqiao mocked Xiaoyanzi, saying that she could only be a judge now and only earned 600,000 yuan in a few months.

She earns one million in three days for filming a movie.

Xiaoyanzi's agent over there is not a quail either.

In response to Fan Qiaoqiao, Xiaoyanzi said that if she could take on all kinds of roles like her, she would earn no less than her.

This brawl dazzled the netizens and they were thrilled.

Even the Chinese-language films at the Cannes Film Festival were wiped out, and Jiang Wen's "The Sun" returned home with a failure and failed to make much of a splash.

As for the controversy over the casting change in "Red Cliff", even fewer people paid attention to the news that Chow Yun-fat's past was exposed by the producers and his character was damaged.

On the last day of the month, Fan Qiaoqiao posted a blog to clarify that he had never said those words.

Unfortunately, Xiaoyanzi’s agent took it seriously.

Fan Qiaoqiao could only leave behind eight words: I’m used to being pierced by arrows.

During this period, netizens naturally could not forget Li Chen's encyclopedia of the entertainment industry.

Unfortunately, netizens are left leaving comments on Li Chen and Liu Yifei’s blogs.

Li Chen has never responded to the scandals and quarrels among these female stars.

Li Chen is talking on the phone with Jiang Wen.

This guy spent almost two years making "The Sun Also Rises", and he thought it was a sure thing that it would be nominated for the Cannes Film Festival.

He was unexpectedly eliminated and expressed his dissatisfaction with the Cannes Film Festival over the phone.

Never think it's his own problem.

Li Chen said nothing. Jiang Wen asked him to give him some advice when "The Sun" premiered.

Li Chen then smiled and said, "I'm going, but I have to be honest."

Jiang Wen laughed: "What I want is for you to tell the truth. I don't believe that you are as short-sighted as those foreigners."

Li Chen said with a smile: "If I say it's not good, it's just like those foreigners, which means that once I go there, I can only say it's good."

"We'll see when the time comes. I'll go and support you when I have time."

The two were talking on the phone when Yang Siwei came in, accompanied by Zhou Xun.

"I'm not going to talk nonsense with you anymore. Someone's here. We can talk another day."

Li Chen hung up Jiang Wen's call and joked with Zhou Xun.

"Xun'er, you have to seize the moment you have some free time to fall in love. People who show off their affection are blinding!"

Zhou Xun smiled openly and said, "Why, Director Li and Yifei are allowed to stab me every day."

Li Chen raised his hand and said, "Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything. What are you two doing here?"

Yang Siwei said with a smile: "Boss, Xu Ke wants to invite Brother Xun to act in his new play."

"But I can't see the script yet, so I came to ask you."

Li Chen said with a smile: "I can't see what you are telling me in the script? Is Xu Ke superior to Cao Baotian or what?"

Yang Siwei said to Zhou Xun: "Look, I said this is the result. In the boss's eyes, there is no difference between Xu Ke and Teacher Baotian."

Zhou Xun looked at Li Chen and smiled: "Director Xu's wife, Producer Shi called me."

"I briefly told her that it was a women's play and she wanted Xu Jinglei, Zhao Wei and I to star in it."

"I'm quite interested."

Li Chen nodded: "I made an agreement with you at the beginning. I have no objection to you taking on other roles, but I have to review the script."

"Siwei, contact Xu Ke's company."

Li Chen said this, but he had already crossed it out in his heart.

There is a play about Xiaoyanzi, why would Zhou Xun get involved?

Li Chen took out the script of "The Sound of Wind" from the safe and placed it on the table.

"This is the script of The Sound of Wind. The two female protagonists are played by you and Zhang Manyu. You should pay attention. She is not called the Goddess of Manyu for nothing."
