Chapter 254: The Impenetrable Curse
Yang Siwei and Zhou Xun parted ways downstairs of Jinxiu Mingzuan Building, and then went to find Liu Yifei.

On the first of next month, "Parting Blooms" will be officially launched.

As the CEO of Yi Xin Media, she also has to be considerate of the boss's wife.

After Li Chen finished talking to Boss Wang on the phone, his assistant came in and said, "Director Li, Mr. Li Ming is here."

Li Ming's arrival brought tears to the eyes of the paparazzi downstairs of Jinxiu Mingzuan Building.

After waiting for so many days, the news that the male lead of "Passengers" was previously rumored to be one of the four heavenly kings has finally come to light.

As soon as Li Ming came in, he took off his black sunglasses, took the initiative to shake hands with Li Chen who was walking towards him and said, "Director Li, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Li Chen smiled and said, "You're welcome. Please take a seat."

After the two sat down, the assistant served tea and the two began to chat.

Li Chen didn't say any unnecessary nonsense and went straight to the point: "Here is the script, take a look first."

Li Ming took a quick look and was dazzled.

Things like nuclear-powered long-distance space shuttles, void projections, bionic people, personal space walking suits, etc.

They are all high-tech that I have never heard of.

The most important thing is that the story of the script is also very touching, but also logical.

The hero couldn't stand the loneliness, so he selfishly woke up the sleeping heroine.

In the end, he was seriously injured for the sake of the heroine and all the passengers on the ship.

When he was dying, he was sent to the universal medical cabin by the heroine and slept for ten years before waking up.

Li Ming was attracted by the story after reading it only once.

What’s more, it is the first science fiction romance film in China, and it is directed by Li Chen.

Li Chen waited silently for Li Ming to finish reading. He changed the ending of the script.

Otherwise, the male protagonist was seriously injured and close to death, and he was instantly revived with full health after entering the all-purpose medical cabin, which was a bit too abrupt.

After sleeping for ten years, maybe it will be better if I just brush it over with the style of the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Director Li, I have no problem. Thank you for the invitation."

"Look, what other preparations do I need to make besides being familiar with the script?"

In fact, Li Ming had already decided to act before he came, after all, this was Li Chen's script.

You can tell the quality is guaranteed without even looking at it.

What’s more, Li Chen is the only director to have won the Palme d’Or.

He should be considered the first actor in the country who is qualified to star in the works of two Palme d'Or directors at the same time.

And Miggie must have her reasons for praising Director Li so much.

Li Chen looked at Li Ming and said, "Lose some weight recently. There are a few shots that really show off your figure."

Li Ming burst out laughing: "To be honest with you, Director Li, I always pay attention to my figure and exercise regularly."

"The current state is also the result of Director Chen's request for weight gain, because Mei Lanfang was a bit fat in his middle age."

Li Chen nodded: "That's true."

"No problem, give me two months. I can't say I can build muscle, but at least I won't be so baggy and have a small belly."

Li Chen stood up and held out his hand: "I'm glad you can star in Passengers!"

Li Ming also stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "My pleasure."

Sina Entertainment News

"Red Star House announced yesterday that the theme song of the song "Draw the Bow" sung by Liu Yifei, "Parting Blooms", will be officially released on Sina Music on July 1st."

"It is reported that this song was written by Li Chen in 04 as an inspirational song for Liu Yifei. After four years of silence, it finally saw the light of day."

Beijing News
"Li Ming, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, secretly appeared in Jinxiu Mingzuan today."

"The rumor that the male lead of Passengers will be played by one of the Four Heavenly Kings has been confirmed."

"Le Mingcheng will be the first actor to have worked with two Palme d'Or directors."

"The reporter called Li Ming's agent and Rongchen Films, and both parties were frank about the matter."

Not only were netizens shocked that Li Ming was starring in "Passengers", but even several investors were a little surprised.

China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group did know that the main actors would be the Four Heavenly Kings, but Li Chen did not say who they were. It must have been decided yet. Han Saping and Ren Zhonglun both guessed that it would definitely be Liu Dehua.

After all, Li Chen has always been very caring towards Liu Dehua.

I didn’t expect that Li Ming was chosen.

Now the final few actresses who auditioned are more motivated.

There was a saying circulating in the Hong Kong circle in the 1990s: No one is more handsome than Li Ming, and no one is more popular than Li Ming.

Netizens joked

"Leo lied."

"She is not a fan of Zhang Manyu."

"I'm not a fan of Li Ming, and even less of Chen Kexin."

“He’s just a fan of ‘Sweet Honey’!”

"Director Li, Deng Chao and Sun Li also starred in "Sweet Honey". Deng Chao is one of us, you can't turn your elbow outward!"

Even Zhang Manyu called Li Chen.

"Li Chen, mistress, did you save it for me?"

Li Chen knew Zhang Manyu was joking.

"Sister Manyu, if I choose you, I'm afraid someone will say I'm paying tribute to Chen Kexin again."

Zhang Manyu also laughed and said, "That's true. By the way, when will you write a song for me?"

"They say your music is priceless, but I don't plan on paying for it!"

Li Chen laughed and said, "Well said. Let me think about it. After all, I promised you in the beginning."

Maggie Cheung also knew that a good song could not just be created overnight: "Okay, it's a deal, I'll wait for your news then."

"A word is settled"

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen went over in his mind whether there was a song suitable for Zhang Manyu and "The Sound of the Wind".

Liu Yifei's fans online already had complaints about Li Chen.

I think he gave Liu Yifei's Shirley Yang to Star Girl.

But now that the news of "Farewell Blooms" has been released, the fans have changed their allegiance again.

"Little Leo is really patient. Why didn't he let Tianxian release it long ago?"

"As the saying goes, a man who can endure is blessed in life. Liu Yifei is blessed!"

"Little Leo's head will be on his neck for now. If it doesn't go well, we'll settle the old and new accounts together."

Liu Yifei couldn't help but defend Li Chen on her blog.

"Don't worry, if it doesn't sound good, I won't sing it."

Friends in the circle immediately left messages.

"Yifei, if you don't want to sing, let me sing it!"

"Yes, Yifei, as long as it's written by Director Li, I won't mind even if it doesn't sound good!"

"Brother Bo, you are beautiful, and your heart is even more beautiful!"

"Xixi, although my brother was born with a hoarse voice, he has a brilliant artistic heart. If you don't want to sing, give him freedom. I'm still single!"

Liu Yifei was holding a notebook and laughing as she read it.

She bumped into Li Chen who was lying on her thighs: "Hey, Changchang let me set you free."

Li Chen closed his eyes and changed to a comfortable sideways position and continued to lie on Miss Liu's thighs: "It's too late. It's not too late before I met you."

"Tell those vixens who are missing me for me."

"Liu Yifei is the curse that I can't get rid of or understand"

Liu Yifei was overjoyed when she heard this: "You just know how to coax me every day!"

Li Chen opened his eyes and glanced at her. Liu Yifei smiled and said, "But I am willing to be coaxed by you."
