Chapter 204: Accidentally Injuring Huazai
As soon as "The Wind Rises" was released, it quickly soared to the top five of major music charts.
In just one week, the number of downloads exceeded 3000 million.
"The Wind Rises" is played everywhere in audio-visual stores on the streets and is loved by countless college students.
Walking through this world now
Lingering in all kinds of ways
Over the years, different faces
Unprepared to break into your smile
I was once unable to extricate myself from the vastness of the world and indulged in my dreams
No need to be true or false, no struggle, no fear of jokes
I once turned my youth into her, and I once played the midsummer with my fingertips,
Just go with the flow, walk against the light, let the wind and rain blow
Zhou Xun never expected that this single would be so popular.
Not to mention Zhou Xun, even Chen Jianshun of Warner Music was caught off guard.
He signed the contract with Zhou Xun at the request of the headquarters.
It feels like headquarters has thrown a broken rock at you.
But if you wipe it a little, you will find that it is actually diamond!
This surprise really took Warner by surprise.
For a time, many programs and variety shows invited Yang Siwei, the agent.
Many artists who are friends with Yang Siwei even want to ask Li Chen to write a song for them for a high price.
The songs "Those Years" and "The Wind Rises" both became extremely popular.
"Those Years" is still okay, after all, it benefited from the popularity of the novel and movie.
But "The Wind Rises" made Zhou Xun, a veteran who had bid farewell to the music scene for several years, popular again.
Not to mention singers, even superstars are no exception.
"Li Chen, you are so mean! I just released a new album and you played a song called "The Wind Rises" to compete with me!"
Li Chen laughed and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Hua, I don't even have time to pay attention to news in the film and television industry, let alone the music industry."
“I didn’t know you were releasing a new album!”
As Li Chen spoke, he turned on his computer and checked online, and it was true!
The name of the album is "A Cow's Fantasy World". Li Chen looked at the songs in it.
I haven't even heard any of them!
Liu Dehua said: "Haha, I was just kidding you. By the way, please write one for me sometime."
Li Chen also joked: "Okay, let's talk about it when you sign a contract with Rongchen Pictures."
Liu Dehua laughed: "Then it's settled."
"A word is settled!"
They both laughed at the same time.
The sudden popularity of "The Wind Rises" has made Liu Yifei's fans even more eager to see the recorded single.
Countless fans went to Liu Yifei’s blog to petition.
At the same time, "The Wind Rises" also brought advantages to Rongchen Pictures and Warner in the subsequent negotiations on the profit sharing ratio of single release.
International Zhang Yiran's Super Show.
Accompanying her wealthy foreign boyfriend to attend the Allen and Company Conference in the United States.
The two took some time out from their busy schedules to go on a healthy trip, showing their love by riding bicycles.
The two kissed passionately in the street and made the headlines of the portal website again.
What Zhang Ziyi showing off her beautiful legs in hot pants.
Yang Mi expressed her dissatisfaction.
"When has the comparison of beautiful legs ever been about twists and turns?"
"It's not long, it's not straight, it's not white, what's so beautiful about it?"
Li Chen nodded and smiled: "Mi Mi is right, she is not as good as my Xixi! At least she is fair and round!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and Liu Yifei beside Li Chen was extremely embarrassed and angry.
He pushed Li Chen hard, and quickly covered Li Chen's big mouth with his hands!
"Shut up!"
It was a rare time when everyone had some free time, and Liu Yifei also returned to Beijing from the crew of "The Forbidden Kingdom".
Li Chen invited everyone to his home and held a barbecue party.
A few people chatted and laughed, and then talked about gossip in the entertainment industry.
They all looked down on Zhang Ziyi's unruly behavior in public. Yang Mi even scoffed at the idea of beautiful legs.
Both she and Tang Yan have a more eye-catching figure than Zhang Ziyi.
"Soldier Assault" will be aired on Beijing Satellite TV on August 1st.
It ushered in the climax of the first round of satellite broadcasting.
Both Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin went to cooperate with the publicity.
Li Chen will also leave for Europe tomorrow with Liu Yifei and Luo Jin to promote "Thieves Gate"
This first Sino-US co-production blockbuster, which landed in the mainland in September, was called by the media the one most likely to break the mainland box office record set by that broken ship.

"Venice Film Festival holds press conference in Rome."
"Festival President Marc Müller announces the film lineups for the 64th Venice Film Festival's major competition units."
"As the media had been speculating, Li Chen's "Pietà", Li An's "Lust, Caution", Jiang Wen's "The Sun" and Lee Kang-sheng's "Help Me, Eros" successfully entered the main competition unit."
“Other categories have also attracted much attention because many Chinese films have been nominated.”
"Jia Zhangke's "Uselessness", Lu Le's "Novel" and Du Haibin's "Umbrella" compete for the horizon."
"'Heaven's Mouth', produced by Wu Yusen and directed by Chen Yili, will be the closing film to conclude the midnight show."
As soon as the news came out, domestic movie fans were immediately excited.
First of all, there are eight Chinese-language films nominated.
Chinese filmmakers not only compete for awards as the main creators of the participating films.
Zhang Yimou will also be in charge of the jury of the main competition unit.
Secondly, most of the directors shortlisted for the main competition unit are unique film masters.
Their names and works are well-known.
Especially the rivalry between Li Chen and Li An!
It is even more interesting.
There was also a reunion in Venice between Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Maggie Cheung, the former rumored boyfriend and girlfriend, which also attracted a lot of attention.
Is it possible for both of them to take down the Silver Lion at the same time?
"Secret" and "Flash Point" were released one after another.
Both films announced that their box office revenue exceeded 20 million in the first week of release.
But many media have questioned the authenticity of the data.
After all, the monster Transformers still has plenty of staying power.
Even though it has been released for more than 20 days, the box office is still around four million per day.
It is only a matter of time before it exceeds 2.5 million.
Bona, the distributor of "Flash Point", even held a celebration party to celebrate the fact that the box office of "Flash Point" exceeded 2000 million in five days.
I don't know what they were thinking, but Transformers made over 0.2 million in five days, and Flash made over million in five days. What's there to celebrate?
Even Fan Qiaoqiao didn't come to show his support.
Zhen Zidan talked a lot about his Zhen Kung Fu, his face beaming with joy.
It seems that the amount of investment in this drama has been forgotten.
Expecting to make a profit from this box office revenue is just fooling yourself.
Li Chen has no time to pay attention to the domestic situation. "The Conjuring" has been completed and "Twilight" has started filming. In addition to promoting "Thieves", Li Chen also has to fly to Los Angeles.
As soon as he got off the plane, Tim and his muscular black bodyguards stood out like a sight in the airport waiting area.
After picking up Li Chen and quickly getting rid of the reporters, a group of three black luxury cars quickly drove away from the airport.
As soon as he got in the car, Tim reported to Li Chen about Chi You's recent situation and the projects that Li Chen was interested in.
"Boss, The Golden Compass will be released in two months."
"Warner has been pushing us very hard recently, requiring us to at least sign a share purchase agreement before The Golden Compass is released."
