Chapter 223: The Storm is Calmed in the Midst of Laughter and Chat
Although Cai Shaofen and Zhang Jin soon announced their marriage.

She claimed that this was the gift that Director Li had promised to Zhang Jin and her as a newlywed couple.

This is inconsistent with the rumors against Juli reported by online media.

But few people believe this statement.

Yang Zi was not willing to give up either.

Started his blog show.

Yang Zi Has Something to Say

"Artists are also human beings, why do they live with masks on?"

Refute all gossips

"It's not too late to criticize Yang Zi's version of Dong Yong after reading the blog"

The psychological torment I endured on becoming CEO of Juli

A set of five lightning whips.

In less than ten days, Yang Zi's blog broke the record and received one million hits.

It was as if all the millions of people who had criticized him had left their footprints on Yang Zi's blog.

Especially the first three articles, which criticize the entertainment industry and question the gossip media, are really jaw-dropping.

The only thing missing from the monopoly capitals in the film and television industry alluded to in the film is the labels of Star Shine and Rongchen Pictures.

This series of operations is shocking.

The ratings of "The Legend of the White Snake" soared rapidly as if it had taken stimulants.

Yang Siwei and Yu Miao were given a gag order by Li Chen and were not allowed to respond to Yang Zi.

This guy is just like Song Zu. If you ignore him, he will find ways to get at you.

New Line used all its strength to make "The Golden Compass" known to everyone in the world.

Even in the mainland, Li Chen did not cause any trouble.

I’m afraid that old Xie Yi won’t make it to the mainland release date.

The film opened with a box office of $2612 million, which was a loss despite being a winner.

In Hollywood, there is one golden rule when it comes to box office.

For any commercial blockbuster, the first week’s box office determines its success or failure.

In this weekend's North American box office battle.

Although "The Golden Compass" topped the list.

However, the revenue of only 2612 million US dollars is less than half of that of "The Chronicles of Narnia" in the same period in previous years.

It is even more humiliating to be ranked 29th in this year's premiere rankings.

and "Fantasy Films" debuted at No. 11.

Such an unfavorable start, opening high and ending low.

It not only foreshadows the failure of the "Golden Compass" plan to make money.

It also destroyed all of Old Shay's livelihood.

He knew that neither the parent company Time Warner nor the Eastern devil Chiyou would let him go.

The Lord of the Rings' people, who have been eyeing him covetously for a long time, will not let him go.

"The Golden Compass", with an investment of US$1.8 million, is strongly supported by its parent company, Time Warner Media Empire.

A vigorous publicity campaign was launched from the beginning of preparation.

The astonishingly large marketing team covers all aspects of daily life.

Coca-Cola from the diet camp.

Walmart, a retail chain.

Sega of the video game camp.

Borders Barnes & Noble at Book Camp.

Amazon of the online camp.

There are also toy camps, digital camps, etc.

Add to that the popularity of the original novel and the gimmick of being banned by several cinemas for religious reasons.

There is simply no reason why The Golden Compass couldn't be successful.

But the reality is cruel, "The Golden Compass" was a flop.

The first week box office of "The Lord of the Rings 1", "Harry Potter 1" and "The Chronicles of Narnia 1" that year.

They reached 4721 million, 9029 million and 6555 million US dollars respectively.

Even compared to the least-short "Lord of the Rings 1", "The Golden Compass" is nearly twice as much.

Such a failed start meant that the film was doomed to be unable to support its huge production and marketing costs.

What’s more important is that the media has given it bad reviews and it has completely lost its reputation.

Old Shay knows his own business.

Li Chen and Warner also knew it.

In recent years, New Line has been embroiled in lawsuits and its films have not been popular. Every time a lawsuit is filed, it has to pay a large sum of money to the other party.

There is only a huge outflow of cash and little inflow of cash.

The box office performance of the Rush Hour series was not ideal.

The shareholders had long since turned against him.

Old Shay leaned back dejectedly in his boss chair.

Ignore the ringing phone.

The opposite is Tim from Chiyou.

"Boss, we won the bet. Shay is dead this time."

Tim's voice trembled a little.

When his boss first proposed this plan of a snake swallowing an elephant.

He never expected to succeed.

How is that possible with Warner standing in the way?

But his boss miraculously made Warner accept Chi You's plan to take over New Line in a way similar to equity swap.

Good news came from Hollywood, and "The Sound of Wind" was successfully completed.

The wrap-up conference was held in Dalian, and the original author Mecca also showed up to celebrate.

The faces of the leading actors were all filled with smiles.

Zhou Xun was wearing a black jacket and leaning back in the soft leather seat, relaxing.

"It's finally finished. I've never been so nervous while filming a movie. I'm almost scared to death."

Su Youpeng laughed and said, "Your torture is not as scary as my project. If you do it again, I will collapse."

"I am the one who is most upset. I hope that after the movie is released, I won't be labeled as a Japanese."

Several people were chatting and laughing, but Zhang Manyu didn't say a word and was the most silent.

"'The Conjuring' is a big hit, you can't be stingy at the wrap party, Director Li." Zhou Xun closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but he didn't stop talking.

Li Chen looked out the car window, thinking about other things, and ignored Zhou Xun.

Zhu Yawen asked curiously, "It's already the fourth movie of Saw."

“Will there be a fifth part?”

Zhang Manyu smiled and explained: "There should be. The rule in Hollywood is that if a movie makes money, there will definitely be a sequel."

"When it stops making money, it will stop. At least Saw 4 still made a lot of money."

Zhou Xun nodded: "Sister Yu is right."

After saying that, he nudged Li Chen next to him and said, "What are you thinking about, Director Li?"

"At the wrap-up press conference later, reporters will definitely ask you about the recent cast change in Ip Man 2."

Zhou Xun and Zhu Yawen both knew the whole story of the role change.

Yang Siwei did not hide it from them.

Zhou Xun felt bored, but seeing that Li Chen didn't say anything, he stopped annoying people.

When we arrived at the hotel press conference, there were at least a hundred media outlets in attendance.

The actors all asked Li Chen to give them a gag order, not to reveal the plot.

Regarding the online discussion about who is Laogui.

Rongchen Pictures announced early on that the ending of the movie would be different from the original novel.

All the actors signed a confidentiality agreement.

Dalian Evening News

"The spy war epic "The Whistleblower", starring six big names including Zhang Manyu, Zhou Xun, Chen Baoguo, Wang Zhiwen, Ying Da and Su Youpeng, wrapped up filming in Dalian yesterday."

"Li Chen did not take the recent controversy over the replacement of the cast of Ip Man 2 seriously, nor did he respond to Yang Zi's blog alleging that Rongchen Pictures had a monopoly on capital."

"When asked about The Legend of the White Snake, I just said: I haven't seen it, so I won't comment on it."

"It is consistent with Rongchen Films and Yixin Media's attitude towards Yang Zi's fraud."

Li Chen's indifferent response made netizens feel bored, and they just hoped that Yang Zi could continue to work hard.

"Little Leo doesn't take me, Brother Dong, seriously at all!"

"Nothing is more frustrating than being ignored. It reminds me of Leo's attitude towards Song Zude."

"Silence speaks louder than words. In Leo's eyes, the two are a pair of hype brothers, and he is afraid to have anything to do with them."

On the other side, Yang Zi was jumping with anger.

The company called him just now and told him that there was nothing to do with him and Huang Shengyi at the end of the year Sina Internet Festival.

Last year, Huang Shengyi lost to Liu Yifei and did not win the Most Popular Artist of the Year Award.

This year he lost to Liu Yifei again.

Women, no one can compare to them.

He was completely ignored by Li Chen again, how could he not go crazy.
