Chapter 258 He Has No Need, and I Have Even Less
Sina Entertainment News

"Feng Xiaogang's new film started shooting secretly in Beijing, Ge You and Shu Qi joined the crew last night."

Beijing News
"Chen Kaige's next new film has secretly entered the early preparation stage. This time he will shoot the classic Chinese classical tragedy "The Orphan of Zhao", and South Korean movie star Jang Dong-gun is expected to work with him again."

International online reports
"The film "Draw the Bow" produced by Rongchen Pictures will hold a screening on the 22nd of this month. According to Yu Miao, the publicity director of Rongchen Pictures, film companies have expressed their willingness to attend on time."

"The highly anticipated "Passengers" recently announced its main cast, and it is consistent with the media's previous speculation. Li Ming and Fan Qiaoqiao are a couple for the second time after "The Devil in My Heart". They have evolved from a couple in the 'underground' to a couple in the 'sky'. Can they create a miracle?"

"In addition, another male supporting actor for Passengers has also surfaced. Surprisingly, Li Chen chose Zhu Yilong, a sophomore from the acting department of his alma mater."

"Rongchen Pictures did not select any of its own artists for its two major dramas, sparking heated discussions in the entertainment industry."

"Fans of Liu Yifei, Zhou Xun, Yang Mi and others even asked soul-searching questions under Li Chen's blog: Don't think of yourself as a saint, or you'll be alienated by your friends and relatives."

Zhu Yillong had already recovered from the surprise he felt when he learned the news a day ago.

At that time, he submitted his resume together with Peng Guanying and others. He only had one round of auditions and didn't even say a word to Director Li.

He had lost hope and planned to visit the crew during the summer vacation to see if there was any chance.

Unexpectedly, a surprise came from the sky
Li Chen's small action even prompted a call from Tian Zhuangzhuang, who was filming "The Disguiser".

"You did this, very good"

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen shook his head and chuckled.

"What did Teacher Tian say to you?" Liu Yifei asked curiously.

"Teacher Tian told me not to pay attention to the complaints and grumblings of Liu Yifei's fans, because justice is in the hearts of the people."

Miss Liu snorted, "I don't believe that Teacher Tian would say that."

"Besides, you're just temporarily bearing the blame. Once the news about Inception and my album is announced, my fans will definitely forgive you."

Li Chen hugged Miss Liu and said with a smile: "I have already planned your path for you. The Thieves, The Forbidden Kingdom, and Inception. After completing these three steps, you should be able to try to play the leading female role next."

"The heroine? What heroine?"

"Don't tell you!"

"Tell me or not? If not, I'll bite you!" Liu Yifei hugged Li Chen's arm and threatened him with her mouth open.

Li Chen looked unmoved, which made Liu Yifei depressed.

Thinking of something, he pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't Changchang's sister on summer vacation? Can you arrange a crew for her?"

Li Chen looked at Miss Liu in surprise and said, "You know all the projects of my company. How can there be any suitable one for her?"

"I can't possibly ask for favors from others for her. She's not my sister, I don't have that obligation."

"What's wrong with you? I feel like you don't seem to have a good impression of Changchang's sister every time she is mentioned."

Liu Yifei still remembers this vividly. She asked Li Chen about it when she celebrated her birthday in Hengdian that year.

At that time, Li Chen said he didn't like the name Song Zu or anything like that.

At that time, she thought Li Chen was making fun of Song Zude, but now it seems that he really doesn't like Changchang's sister.

Whether it is the role in "Shoplifters" back then, or the role in "Draw the Bow" which is about to be released.

Li Chen had never considered Changchang's sister, which made Liu Yifei very curious.

Li Chen did not answer her directly: "She is so young, her task is to study hard, and not think about the entertainment industry all day long."

"Don't think you have three heads and six arms and can do anything after playing a little Nezha."

Li Chen didn't want to say anything more. He didn't want to meddle in Shu Chang and Song Zuer's affairs.

After all, the two are relatives. If you interfere too much, he might become unpopular with everyone.

"What would you do if it was my sister?" Liu Yifei asked again.

Li Chen laughed: "If it was your sister, I would have beaten her butt a long time ago."

Liu Yifei smiled and immediately understood what Li Chen meant.

The reputation of "Red Cliff" is getting worse and worse, and netizens' comments are getting more and more sharp. "Leo is right. How can someone like Wu Yusen, who has never taken a history class, make a movie about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? If you don't know, you would think he is making a movie about a better hero. Life is full of friends, and the more friends you have, the easier it is to walk!"

"I didn't even watch it. Although Leo has a sharp tongue, he always speaks with conviction. At least he hasn't wrongly accused a good person!"

Han Sanping was somewhat glad that he had listened to Li Chen's advice.

Otherwise, he would be vomiting blood like Cheng Tian.

Entering the second week, the box office of "Red Cliff" declined visibly. After ten days, it only reached 1.5 million yuan, and the daily box office had dropped to around 1000 million yuan.

I'm afraid the final box office will be around 2.4 million.

Wu Yusen's face was as dark as Bao Gong. He never expected this result.

He even wondered whether it was because of Li Chen's huge influence or whether the direction of "Red Cliff" had really gone astray.

The current box office and word of mouth are far from his psychological expectation of 6 million yuan.

If the upper part doesn’t reach 3 million, forget about the lower part.

If he had known this, he should not have interfered in Li An's "Lust, Caution" matter.

The only consolation is that "Red Cliff" broke several box office records as soon as it was released in Japan.

Zhang Ziyi's wealthy Israeli boyfriend finally publicly acknowledged their engagement and said he would marry Zhang Ziyi next year.

Netizens lamented that International Zhang is about to become Rich Zhang.

This Israeli fiancé, who is in his forties, has a fortune of $47 billion.

But after a few days, there was new development. This Israeli tycoon not only had a daughter, but also wanted to sign a prenuptial agreement with Zhang Ziyi.

Sina Entertainment News

"Yesterday there were rumors that Avi Nivov will sign a prenuptial agreement with Zhang Ziyi next month to ensure that there will be no farce of dividing the family property."

"Both parties agreed that once they divorced, the woman would receive a certain amount of alimony, but would not receive any property."

"This will completely draw a line between alimony and property."

"Hong Kong and Taiwan media joked that they thought Zhang Ziyi had finally caught a 'rich man' but she didn't expect it to be a 'smart man'."

Netizens started making fun of Zhang Yimou again, saying that she has become a stepmother before giving birth to a baby.

For a time, Zhang Ziyi became a hot topic among everyone.

Some curious people even went to Liu Yifei and Li Chen’s blog to ask Liu Yifei whether they would sign a prenuptial agreement if they got married in the future.

After all, Li Chen’s net worth is currently even more of a mystery than that of the Israeli tycoon.

Rongchen Pictures and Chiyou are not listed, so their financial statements do not need to be made public.

But judging from Li Chen's actions in the past two years, he first established the 45 billion Han and Tang Fund, then bought New Line for 12 billion US dollars, and then donated 1.5 million.

Netizens were full of ideas.

"Even if Leo isn't as good as Zhang Ziyi's VIVI, he's definitely not that far behind."

"It's very normal for Americans to sign prenuptial agreements, so it's not surprising that domestic wealthy people find female celebrities to sign prenuptial agreements with them."

"The rich aren't stupid, the stupid ones are the female celebrities who treat the rich as their own!"

Even the artists of Rongchen Pictures are not immune to gossip.

Yang Mi was very curious, but she didn't dare to ask Li Chen, so she dared to ask Liu Yifei.

"Princess Sissi, will you and the senior sign it in the future?"

More than one person has asked her this question in the past two days.

Liu Yifei still had that indifferent attitude: "It's up to him. If he wants to sign, then just sign. We are not together for money."

"He doesn't lack it, and I don't lack it either."
