Chapter 215: Rich People Are Not Cabbages

"The Sun" suddenly rose and then fell like a meteor, causing investors to suffer heavy losses.

In addition to Jiang Wen's Bu Yi Le Hu, there are also Huayi's Taihe and Hong Kong Island's Yinghuang.

Jiang Wen took the initiative to call the two investors.

Wang Zhonglei didn't say much, thinking that even if the business was bad, the friendship would remain, so he didn't say much.

But Jiang Wen clearly heard Wang Zhonglei's subtext: This is a one-time deal, and I will never dare to invest in him again.

Now is the era of commercial blockbusters, and it is enough for them to have one Feng Xiaogang.

One more outdated Jiang Wen like you is not much of a big deal.

What if the funding chain breaks down during filming?

Or the cycle of shooting can be two or three years, no one can stand it.

Jiang Wen called his boss again.

I am ready to face cold faces and ridicule again.

Unexpectedly, he was shocked by the boss's attitude.

"Director Jiang, you told me in advance that The Sun might not make money."

"But do you know why I still want to invest?" There was no trace of complaint or discouragement in the boss' voice on the phone.

Jiang Wen laughed and said, "You confused me."

"Because I'm not investing in a movie, but in you, Director Jiang."

"I can never be wrong in judging people. I was willing to pay 1000 million for the distribution rights of Crazy Stone because I had high hopes for Director Li."

"Now I am willing to invest tens of millions in "The Sun". I still believe in your talent."

"If you lose tens of millions, it's lost. Don't think too much about it."

"Now what you need to consider is the next movie and how to make me make the money back. Am I right?" Jiang Wen was very moved by the boss' smile.

He could tell that the other party was not joking, but was really willing to continue voting for him.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wen shook his head and sighed to his wife: "He is not an ordinary person."

Zhou Yun held her husband's arm and said with a smile, "What nonsense! Can an average person buy the Hong Kong Island distribution rights of a stone for 1000 million?"

"Most people know that your movie 'The Sun' may not make money, but they still invest tens of millions in it!"

Zhou Yun tapped her husband's bald forehead and said, "So, Director Li and he are optimistic about you. Shouldn't you feel relieved?"

Jiang Wen hugged the woman beside him and laughed: "I have never felt that I am incapable!"

"Just wait and see, it's just a commercial film!"

"Zhang Yimou did it? Feng Xiaogang did it? Why can't I, Jiang Wen, do it?"

"Lust, Caution", which was released in North America at the same time as "The Sun", received mixed reviews.

Not to mention the box office.

Because Liang Chaowei exposed his private parts in "Lust, Caution", people under 17 are prohibited from watching it.

In North America, it is not prohibited for women under the age of 17 to expose their private parts, as long as they are accompanied by their parents.

But if a man misses these three points, he will be killed with one blow.

"Pietà" will also be released worldwide on October 12.

With the title of Golden Lion, Li Chen didn't plan to make a big deal about the premiere.

Liu Dehua has sent "The Holy Spirit" to the General Administration for review for more than half a month.

Li Chen also hopes that with the popularity of the Golden Lion and his connections, "The Holy Spirit" can be released in mainland China.

Han Saping gave Li Chen a reassurance.

Tell him to be at ease and just cut out some of the violent and bloody scenes.

Li Chen thought about it and it made sense. Even "Lust, Caution" and "Apple" could be released, so why couldn't "Pieta" be released?

Sina Entertainment News

"Rongchen Pictures' Olympic tribute film "Draw the Bow, Dad" and the main theme spy film "The Sound of the Wind" have recently started shooting."

"Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, and Zhang Fengyi have already joined the crew. The previous rumor that the role of the mother will be played by Liu Yifei's mother Liu Xiaoli has been confirmed."

"This is Liu Xiaoli's second appearance on the big screen after her guest appearance as the Queen Mother in The Forbidden Kingdom."

"For "Draw the Bow, Dad", Director Wu Bin will direct it instead."

"Liu Yifei smiled and explained to the media, Li Chen's original words: his girlfriend and her mother are both actors, and he, as a director, is afraid of having his power taken away!"

Netizens burst into laughter

"Little Leo is already a nobody when he meets a fairy, and now he meets the Queen Mother who has boundless magical powers, so he will be beaten back to his original form!"

"Shouting 'ka' with my wife and mother-in-law! Little Leo was so scared that he knelt on the washboard when he got home!"

"A man should be able to bend and stretch. Good job!"

Tianjin "The Sound of Wind" crew

In order to let the audience feel the prosperity of Qiuzhuang, a mansion in the original novel, the crew built the interior of Qiuzhuang themselves.

Nearly 5000 props were collected from various sources, and there are more than 4000 books on the bookshelf alone.

The total value of the antique props exceeds 580 million.

Many of the furniture and tableware were moved from Li Chen's home.

Zhang Manyu's military uniform shows off her slim figure to the fullest.

The small action of smoking is more natural and smoother than that of artists like Li Qiaoqiao who have never smoked.

On the fifth day of the National Day Golden Week, the box office of "Thieves" broke the record that the broken ship had held for nearly ten years.

Successfully topped the domestic box office champion throne: 3.7 million!
Global box office: 5.3 million US dollars!
People in the industry were simply amazed.

The Six Princesses' Chinese film reports and the headlines of various TV stations and online media rushed to publish this good news.

Now everyone is watching to see if "The Thief" has the potential to steal the 4 million box office crown.

After all, the first round of releases was postponed for a week.

There are still nearly ten days until Thieves is released in theaters.

With the current daily box office of "Thief" exceeding 3 million, it is not impossible to break 400 million.

Li Chen was filming "The Sound of Wind" in Tianjin when he was unexpectedly visited by a couple who were about to get married.

Looking at the couple opposite him, Li Chen couldn't help but laugh and said, "You can just make a phone call, why did you come all the way to Tianjin?"

Zhang Jin smiled and said, "Ada said that this is more respectful, and I think that's right. If it weren't for Director Li's support, I wouldn't have been able to marry Ada so quickly!"

Cai Shaofen spoke in a frighteningly exaggerated Hong Kong accent.

"Director Li, you are like a matchmaker for Yuyu and me. We both think that no one is more suitable than you to be the witness."

Li Chen was so annoyed by what he heard that he couldn't help but smile and said, "You should speak Cantonese. I can understand you."

It really proves what Zhang Jin said later: I am not afraid of anything in heaven or earth, but I am afraid of Cai Shaofen speaking Mandarin!

"January 12? You'd better find someone else to be the witness. I can't guarantee that I can come on that day."

"But as long as I'm in the country, it should be fine."

Zhang Jin and Cai Shaofen looked at each other and both understood the hidden meaning of Li Chen's words.

"That's fine. Whether you have time or not, Director Li, we will both deliver the invitation in person."

Li Chen nodded and smiled: "Whether I can be there or not, I will definitely prepare a special gift for you two newlyweds."

"I'll let Yang Siwei contact you later."

The two of them couldn't help but look forward to the gift that Director Li mentioned.

The filming of "The Sound of Wind" is still going on.

Recently, it should be the time for Yue Lao to focus on year-end performance.

New people are coming one after another, but Zhang Jin’s side has not been exposed yet.

On October 12, "Pietà" was released simultaneously around the world except in mainland China.

But the headlines were stolen by a marriage news.

The mainland version of Bai Suzhen couldn't wait to announce on her blog that she had met the "terminator" of love!
"Thank you for your courage and determination to bring us together, and thank you for your infinite generosity and selfless love."

"Please remember our oath. No matter how harsh the weather may be on our battlefield, our hands will never be separated."

"From now on, I have another title: Mrs. Wang."

Liu Tao’s sudden official announcement not only surprised netizens and people in the circle, but also caught Liu Tao’s agency off guard.

The crew of "The Sound of Wind" is also talking about this matter.

"I heard that Liu Tao met a boyfriend from a wealthy family outside the entertainment industry, but I didn't expect that they would get married so soon."

"Bai Suzhen didn't look for a mortal this time"

"Xu Xian is not a mortal either, he is the reincarnation of Taiyin Immortal!"

"Director Li, when are you going to marry Yifei? You are recognized as a wealthy super diamond bachelor in our circle. If you don't marry Yifei, we will take action against you!" Zhou Xun joked with a smile.

Zhang Manyu couldn't help but join in the fun: "What Zhou Xun said is right. If it weren't for the fact that I can't talk to you, I'm afraid that many actresses in Hong Kong Island can't escape your control!"

Li Chen was amused by Zhang Manyu: "Sister Manyu, you make me sound like a pervert."

"What's the difference between a wealthy family and a non-wealthy family? There aren't that many wealthy families. Do you think that wealthy families are all cabbages?"

"Look at your Hong Kong beauty, Li Jiaxin, and Zhang Ziyi from the mainland. It's not easy to get into a wealthy family."

"The one who drives fast may not be a wealthy family, but a fake one. Be careful that the truth will be revealed in the future, and I will see you when the flowers bloom!"

Several people looked at each other, clearly hearing the hidden meaning in Li Chen's words.

But when asked further, Li Chen was unwilling to say anything.

Liu Tao is still good. No matter what, at least she did what she said in her blog now.

Stick with each other through thick and thin, never leave or abandon, a perfect virtuous wife!
