Chapter 238 Suffering a blow
When they met unexpectedly at the Chang'an Club, Lu Zheng couldn't help but bring up the old matter again.

"Director Li, you must come to the premiere." Lu Zheng said with a smile.

Jingtian also looked expectant.

Seeing Liu Yifei snuggling up to Li Chen, Jing Tian stepped forward affectionately: "Yifei, you and Brother Li Chen come together."

Liu Yifei glanced at Li Chen and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm afraid the two of us can't come."

Jing Tian paused, and Lu Zheng quickly smiled: "It's okay, Director Li is busy and I understand."

Li Chen explained: "I was busy, but it was really an unfortunate coincidence."

"Sissi's The Forbidden Kingdom will premiere in Los Angeles and San Francisco in early April, so I, as her boyfriend, will have to be requisitioned."

Jing Tian suddenly realized, looking somewhat embarrassed and disappointed: "So that's how it is. I saw your Golden Swallow poster, it's so beautiful."

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Thank you."

Jing Tian adjusted his mood and said cheerfully, "Although you can't come to my premiere, I can come to your premiere. Remember to send me an invitation."

Li Chen agreed on behalf of Liu Yifei: "No problem, Mr. Lu will come with Tiantian then."

Lu Zheng and Jing Tian both agreed immediately and watched Li Chen and Liu Yifei leave.

Jing Tian did not hide the envy in his eyes at all: "I really envy her for being able to star in The Forbidden Kingdom. The fighting scenes in my Anaconda are probably very different from The Forbidden Kingdom."

Lu Zheng laughed: "Don't be discouraged, Tiantian, you are two years younger than her, you will surpass her sooner or later."

Jing Tian smiled and said, "Of course, although she has Brother Li Chen, I also have you, my uncle."

Not long after Li Chen and Liu Yifei left, Li An called directly.

On the phone, Li An got straight to the point: "Li Chen, do you also think there is something wrong with Lust, Caution?"

Li Chen really doubted whether Li An was out of his mind. If he thought there was no problem, why would he stop Liu Yifei from performing?

Li Chen did not hide it: "Of course there is a problem. Your mistake is that you linked the love and bloody story between a traitor and a love-minded woman together."

"And you also have a group of people who come here to sing praises for your movie Lust, Caution."

"To put it bluntly, the route is wrong."

Li An smiled bitterly and said, "So you made "The Pietà" to compete with "Lust, Caution"?

"You're overthinking this. I made 'The Pietà' for Maggie Cheung. I hope a Chinese actress can win the Grand Slam and three European Golden Globes."

After hearing what he said, Li An felt better and believed what Li Chen said.

"Also, you can have a personality and express your opinions directly, but you can't expect everyone to agree with you, Li An."

"You said that everyone who hasn't seen Lust, Caution is shameful, but only you, Li An, are honorable?"

Li An is over fifty years old, and his face turned red after hearing Li Chen's words.

Hearing that Li Chen no longer called him Director Li, but called him by his name, he actually thought it was natural.

Maybe this is because of the different status and height.

The Focus company behind him is not as wealthy as Li Chen's New Line and Chi You.

"Let me tell you something. The sky is high but the earth is deep. Humans can only live between heaven and earth."

Li An seemed to have been mute-pressed and could not utter a word.

Li Chen and the General Administration both pointed their fingers at "Lust, Caution", and he knew that there was no way he could overturn the verdict.

Especially Li Chen, who has accumulated fans and popularity over the years, and is protected by the Palme d'Or and the Gold and Silver Lions.

It can be said that there was a huge response in the mainland, even he jumped out to deny "Lust, Caution". Li An was extremely exhausted, hung up the phone, and fell ill the next day.

Liu Yifei was driving the car, tilting her head and smilingly asked Li Chen: "Are you really filming "Sacred Spirit" for Sister Manyu?"

Li Chen laughed: "If you believe it, then you are as stupid as Li An."

Liu Yifei was very satisfied with Li Chen's answer: "Sister Man Yu called me a few days ago. She has settled in Beijing and asked us to visit her home when we are free."

Li Chen nodded: "She and Zhou Xun are the same. They lose themselves once they fall in love. They settled in Beijing for her boyfriend." Although Li Chen's words were criticized by netizens and fans, there were also many people who supported what Li Chen said.

Especially some students' parents and older scholars.

Li Chen did not respond to any further questions.

"The Disguiser" is about to start casting, and "My Captain, My Regiment" will start filming soon, with producer Li Chen in charge of the company.

Nor do I interfere with Tian Zhuangzhuang's casting.

"Draw the Bow" and "The Sound of the Wind" completed post-production one after the other and have been submitted for review.

Yang Siwei has already connected with Warner.

Sina Entertainment News

"Warner Music Greater China President Chen Jianshun announced that a grand signing ceremony will be held for Liu Yifei after the release of The Forbidden Kingdom."

“The largest flagship store in Asia of Louis Vuitton, a legendary fashion brand, officially opened yesterday.”

"Chinese and foreign superstars came to congratulate, and after touring the new store, they moved on to the big party. Only Zhang Ziyi only went to the big party and did not visit the new store."

"She showed off her superstar status in a special way. When asked about her engagement, she even smiled silly and hinted at it."

The news of Zhang Ziyi's engagement made the headlines of portal websites.

At the beginning, Liu Yifei did not become a signed artist of William Morris.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei and Zhang Ziyi did not become sisters in the same school.

But now there is news that Zhang Ziyi is engaged to Warner's major shareholder.

Warner is also a major shareholder of Chiyou. After many twists and turns, Zhang Ziyi and Liu Yifei finally met because of Warner.

Zhang Ziyi was in a good mood, and the egg-shaped ring on her ring finger seemed to declare that she had successfully entered a wealthy family.

Rongchen Pictures announced its film schedule for 08 on its official website.

Passengers

The Ancient City of Jingjue

Love Is Not Blind

Ip Man 2

Sina Entertainment News

"With the change of ownership of New Line, Rongchen Pictures' 08 film list has also been released."

"From the perspective of the film list plan, the number of films this year has decreased, but the investment cost has increased instead of decreased."

"The film with the highest investment cost is Passengers, which is reportedly worth $8500 million. It is the first science fiction romance film in China."

As soon as the film list plan was released, several major brokerage companies took action.

Especially "Passengers" and "The Lost Tomb", judging from the information released on the official website of Rongchen Pictures.

These two films not only have high investment amounts, but also have a strong lineup of producers.

Zhang Ziyi is now full of confidence, thinking about her boyfriend's identity and the relationship between Li Chen and Warner.

I called Li Chen as soon as possible.

Even his tone lacked the humility he had shown in front of Li Chen before.

"Director Li, please think of me when there is a suitable role." Zhang Ziyi smiled on the phone.

Li Chen said "OK" perfunctorily and didn't say anything else.

This was a huge blow to Zhang Ziyi.

She thought that at least Li Chen's attitude would become more enthusiastic, but he still kept his distance from her.
