Chapter 212 Adding fuel to the fire
The two women walked into the compartment and saw that Li Chen's expression was still indifferent.

But Jiang Wen's face was full of disbelief.

Zhou Yun walked up and grabbed Jiang Wen: "What are you doing? Can't you just talk it out nicely?"

Liu Yifei also pulled Li Chen's arm, frowned slightly, and her eyes were full of questions.

Li Chen shook his head and smiled slightly, indicating to her that everything was fine.

Jiang Wen also realized that he was excited.

Perhaps it is true that softness overcomes hardness and one thing conquers another.

As soon as Zhou Yun opened his mouth, Jiang Wen softened.

Jiang Wen laughed: "We are fine."

"But he actually said that it would be hard for my movie 'The Sun' to make 5000 million at the box office!"

"I just don't believe it!"

Li Chen stood up and said with a smile: "You can believe it or not."

"It's getting late, let's stop here for today."

Jiang Wen was stunned: "What's wrong? Are you still angry?"

Zhou Yun explained, "Director Li, don't take it personally. Old Jiang is just like that."

Li Chen waved his hand: "Where did you go? There's nothing to be angry about."

Liu Yifei also laughed and said, "Yes, Director Jiang, Sister Yun."

"Thank you for your hospitality today. It is indeed getting late. We have a long way to go."

Jiang Wen smiled and said, "Yifei is still good at speaking, just like the one in my family. Okay, I'll take you there."

Jiang Wen hugged Li Chen, but Li Chen broke free without leaving a trace: "Two grown men, what's the point of being so affectionate with each other!"

Jiang Wen pointed at Li Chen and laughed, then walked to the door.

Li Chen and Liu Yifei got in the car.

Li Chen rolled down the car window and waved to Jiang Wen, "If you need investment for your next movie, come find me."

Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted: "Haha, you don't mean what you say."

"You say you don't think highly of 'The Sun', but you want to invest in my next movie!"

Zhou Yun squeezed Jiang Wen's arm hard and said to Li Chen with a smile, "I want to thank Director Li on behalf of Old Jiang."

Then he waved to Liu Yifei and said, "Yifei, send me a message when you get home."

Li Chen just smiled and said nothing more.

Zhou Yun is a wonderful person. No wonder he can tame Jiang Wen, this wild horse.

After the car drove away, Zhou Yun said to Jiang Wen: "How can you be so ignorant of what is good for you? Can't you understand Director Li's good intentions?"

Jiang Wen stared with wide eyes: "What good intentions?"

Zhou Yun was too lazy to explain to the man, so he turned around and walked towards the car: "Go figure it out yourself!"

Jiang Wen didn't believe what Li Chen said, but Zhou Yun took it to heart.

In this movie "The Sun", Jiang Wen not only borrowed money from his younger brother Jiang Wu, but his partner also spent a lot of money.

It was a real loss, and more than a few investors lost all their money.

Even the people around them suffered heavy losses.

It may not be so easy to attract investment in the future.

Director Li can say such things.

Jiang Wen still stubbornly believes that Director Li is not sincere in what he says and actually is still optimistic about "The Sun"!
Zhou Yun didn't know how she became so bewitched and obsessed with him.

On the way back, Liu Yifei leaned on Li Chen's shoulder and whispered, "Actually, I don't think highly of "The Sun" either!"

Li Chen laughed: "This is what it means when a husband sings and his wife follows."

"Jiang Wen hasn't directed a movie in almost eight years. Eight years has already changed the world."

“The audience’s tastes have changed, and the choices are more diverse.”

"It's no longer the era of eight years ago when there were only 20 to 30 domestic films a year at most."

The next day, Li Chen arrived at the company.

The box office of "Thief" was booming in many places.

Almost two weeks after its release, the domestic box office has soared to 2.7 million, with around 600 million still coming in every day. The North American box office has also soared to 1.7 million US dollars.

The global box office reached 3.9 million US dollars.

The headlines of portal websites these days have been dominated by "Thief".

Everyone knows one outcome.

China’s first 300 million yuan director is about to be born.

Although this is a Sino-US co-production.

But the director is a double-gold director who is unrivaled in mainland China.

"Director Li, Siwei has gone to Modern City. Should the company hire another publicity director?"

"Or should we let Deputy Director Yu Miao take over?" Wu Bin knocked on the door and asked.

"Let her serve as the agent for three months. Whether she can remove the word 'agent' depends on her ability."

Wu Bin smiled and said, "Then she will probably have to use all her skills."

"One more thing, there are three companies in Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan."

"Even the company that Du Qifeng belongs to, Galaxy Impression, has taken a liking to Ghost Blows Out the Light!"

“I want to buy the rights to the first film.”

"Du Qifeng called me personally. He is very interested in Ghost Blows Out the Light."

Li Chen sighed: "Time flies. It's been almost two years since he started serializing his novel."

Wu Bin was full of admiration for Li Chen.

"Indeed, I didn't understand why you insisted on signing novels of this kind at first."

“Looking back now, it was really prescient.”

"Director Li, in fact, in my opinion, we will definitely not sell the copyright."

"But we can ask Du Qifeng to direct it, what do you think?"

Now Wu Bin is willing to address you as "you" from the bottom of his heart.

Li Chen shook his head and said, "There is no need for that. They won't agree to it."

"I'm not confident in letting them take the photo, so I'll wait a little longer."

"But this is also an opportunity. Tell Yu Miao something."

"Ghost Blows Out the Light is a big hit, so it's time for us to add fuel to the fire."

Wu Bin immediately understood: "Adding fuel to the fire? Yu Miao really needs this opportunity to prove himself."

As the two were talking, the assistant knocked on the door and came in: "Director Li, Chairman Cao from Sina is here."

Li Chen stood up: "Please let him in."

"Then Director Li, I'll be out first." Wu Bin knew that the two had something to discuss, so he left first.

Cao Guowei came in and nodded to Wu Bin, then smiled and said, "Your environment is really nice. This is my first time here."

Li Chen extended his hand and invited Cao Guowei to sit down: "You are a busy person, it is difficult to step on your precious feet!"

The assistant poured tea for the two of them and then left.

Cao Guowei glanced at the needle-like tea leaves in the glass, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Bai Hao Yin Zhen?"

Li Chen nodded: "I like it. I'll take some away later. Ten-year-old Baihao Yinzhen is hard to find on the market."

Cao Guowei was not polite either: "Okay, since I'm here today, I don't intend to be polite with you."

Li Chen was not surprised: "I know you don't come here for no reason, have you thought about it?"

Cao Guowei nodded.

Li Chen smiled and said, "You, the super man with the poison pill plan, should have done this a long time ago."

Cao Guowei did not answer directly: "Sina cannot be a disorganized group anymore."

"A snake cannot survive without a head. I can't just watch you and Chang Tian soar into the sky while I keep spinning in circles."

Li Chen chuckled: "Just tell me what you plan to do and how you want me to help you. It's not like you to be fussy at all."

Cao Guowei raised his lips slightly: "I plan to conduct a management buyout (MBO) to gain the right to speak at Sina first."

"You are right, Fanfou is just a passing fad, only Sina is the real king of Twitter."
