Chapter 224 Perfection
In December, Lust, Caution and Pietà were both taken off the shelves.
In terms of box office comparison, "Lust, Caution" earned 1.1 million yuan, while "Pieta" earned 1.4 million yuan.
The global box office of "Lust, Caution" was $6200 million, and "Pietà" was $6900 million.
At this point, Li Chen's fame in Hollywood gradually became equal to that of Li An.
After "Lust, Caution" came "Apple", and after Fan Qiaoqiao, there is another Qiaoqiao coming.

"According to Hong Kong's Wen Wei Po, Butterfly Flying, produced by Jiao Yang Films and directed by Du Qifeng, will be released on January 1."
"The main characters Zhou Yumin and Li Qiaoqiao play a couple, and there are many intimate scenes and a sex scene in the play."
Outskirts of Beijing
In order to fully reflect the isolation of the small village, the crew of "Draw the Bow" specially built a very distinctive small village in the far suburbs.
"Today's hype is either fists or pillows, it's all routine"
Li Chen teased while looking at the picture of Li Qiaoqiao and Zhou Yumin's intimate sex scene on the notebook.
Liu Yifei, who was standing next to him, was wearing a pair of sunglasses and her maroon down jacket that she had worn for many years, and she stood close to Li Chen.
"Let me tell you something, Director Li."
"Go ahead, Princess Sissi, I'm all ears."
"Brother! You are my real brother! Can you two treat me like a living person? I have a heart too, I am not a light bulb!"
Liu Yifei and Li Chen smiled at each other, still ignoring Shu Chang.
"My nationality." Liu Yifei winked at Li Chen mischievously, but didn't finish the rest of the sentence.
But Li Chen understood immediately: "You're back?"
Liu Yifei nodded, and Li Chen smiled and said, "Now you are perfect and flawless."
"What are you two talking about? What's wrong with Xixi's nationality? Is someone slandering her again?" Shu Chang interrupted, but Li Chen and the other man still ignored her.
Shu Chang got up angrily and went to watch the show.
Liu Yifei couldn't help but smile: "Don't go, Changchang."
"Ignore me, I'm going to watch a show!" Shu Chang said without even turning his head.
Liu Yifei was overjoyed: "By the way, my Red Star Wood is planning to announce this to the public, what do you think?"
"No need for that. Just change it back. No need to advertise it. If someone makes a fuss about this someday, just keep it to slap someone in the face."
Liu Yifei's bright eyes sparkled: "How can you be so mean!"
As the two were talking, Wu Bin shouted to stop again.
Li Chen couldn't remember how many times Wu Bin had called a halt today.
Wu Bin asked the crew to take a break, then came over and joked with Li Chen.
"Director Li, I finally understand why you don't want to shoot this movie."
"What do you mean?"
"It's really difficult to film scenes with children, especially for Reba and Hani Kezi, who have no experience at all."
Li Chen laughed: "Isn't this almost finished?"
Reba, who was not far away, heard Li Chen's laughter and walked up to him with a red face: "I'm sorry, director, I'm sorry, brother Li Chen"
Liu Yifei stood up and hugged Reba affectionately, saying, "Ignore Director Wu and your 'Brother Li Chen'!"
"They are joking. I was in a much worse situation than you when I was acting in The Golden Age. I don't have the patience of Director Wu."
When Li Chen saw Liu Xiaoli coming over, he quickly stood up and gave her his seat, and then greeted Zhang Fengyi.
Li Chen stayed on the crew until the evening before he and Liu Yifei and her daughter went home.
On the way back, Liu Yifei kept humming a song.
And he kept repeating the same sentence over and over again: "How many good sisters do you have? Why are all of them so haggard?"
Li Chen pretended to be confused: "You can even sing this song, who taught you?"
Liu's mother pretended not to hear and turned her head to the window.
Shu Chang lowered his head like an ostrich.
Liu Yifei looked at her boyfriend with a half-smile: "I don't know!"
"Brother Chen"
"Brother Li"
"Brother Li Chen"
"Brother Li Chen!"
Li Chen couldn't help but shudder, and goose bumps appeared all over his body. Because Liu Yifei's first call was obviously imitating the seductive manner when Fan Qiaoqiao called her.
The second time, she imitated Jingtian's voice calling her with admiration and excitement.
As for the last two notes, they were imitated by Reba and Guan Xiaotong with a pinched voice!
Shu Chang finally couldn't help laughing out loud: "Godmother, Xixi is so good at learning. The teachers my brother hired over the past few years have not been in vain!"
Li Chen glared at Shu Chang and said, "You heard it too. Don't call me brother anymore. Some people are dissatisfied with it!"
Liu Yifei snorted: "I am reminding you that having Changchang as your sister is enough."
Li Chen understood immediately and hugged Liu Yifei without caring that his future mother-in-law was present.
"Don't worry! You don't just have to have one sister. You must also have only one girlfriend, right, Princess Sissi?"
Liu Yifei smiled and kissed Li Chen on the face: "You are a teachable boy, I will reward you!"
Shu Chang pretended to shudder: "Godmother, they are so cheesy, and you don't care about your daughter!"
Liu Xiaoli smiled and pinched Shu Chang's cheek: "It's enough to have you as my daughter, I don't need her anymore!"
Shu Chang laughed loudly and had a fight with Liu Yifei and her sister.
Li Chen glanced at Liu Xiaoli and sighed in his heart that it might be because they all came from single-parent families.
Liu Xiaoli really treated Shu Chang as her own daughter.
Every time I buy gifts or clothes, I always buy double the amount, one for Sissi and one for Changchu.
The next day, Li Chen returned to the company.
The assistant brought another mountain of invitations.
This has been screened by an assistant.
Li Chen took a look and saw the awards from Berlin, Cannes, and Hong Kong.
There were also quite a few premieres.
In addition to "Assembly" and "CJ1", there is also Jing Tian's "Anaconda"!
It's really scary.
Lu Zheng made this invitation very exquisitely. The large gold-plated characters combined with the theme of "Anaconda" are quite impactful.
If you don’t know, you might think it’s a python disaster!
December is the beginning of the Lunar New Year season.
Without Yimou and Erli this year, the Lunar New Year box office has become a three-way battle between Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kexin and Zhou Xingxing.
The smoke of war had just started when a piece of financial news stole the limelight.
First Financial Daily
"Yesterday, Gu Yongqiang, former president of Sohu and president of Youku.com, told China Business News that Youku.com has completed its third round of financing."
"A total of US$2500 million of investment was received from three venture capital funds, mainly Han Tang Fund."
"This is also the largest financing ever obtained by a video website. Previously, Youku.com raised US$300 million and US$1200 million respectively."
"This is the third round of additional investment by Han Tang Fund since its establishment, following the second round of investment in Youku.com."
When this news broke, it not only caused a stir in the video field, but also shocked the entertainment industry.
Because apart from the Han and Tang Fund.
Another investment fund is even more famous.
It is Bain Capital, which has made mid-term investments in Sina, Sohu, Shanda, Tencent, Baidu, etc.
This is also the largest financing ever obtained by a video website.
Han Tang Fund was initially mistaken by the media as an investment fund established to acquire TVB.
But he made a feint and dived into the video website.
But now no one cares about TVB.
Rongchen Pictures, Wanda and Light Media immediately became the focus of the media.
Because no video website is profitable now, all video websites are exploring ways to make profits.
But even Bain Capital is optimistic about Youku, and no one doubts the vision of Han Tang Fund.
Wang Changtian responded to the media on behalf of the three companies.
The three companies will spare no effort to support Youku's development.
Whether it is funding, or the resources and channels that the three companies each own.
Most people don’t understand this sentence, because no one has figured out the future of video websites yet.
