Chapter 260 Model Boyfriend
Beihai Park Fangshan Restaurant
A string of big red lanterns hangs in the quaint courtyard, and waiters in red cheongsams shuttle between the corridors.

On the east side of the courtyard is a luxurious house with a lifelike screen carved with dragon and phoenix patterns.

The curtains, tablecloths and chair covers are all bright yellow, reflecting the royal court style everywhere.

Nolan sat next to Li Chen, looking around like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. The capital's rich historical atmosphere was incomparable to their 200-year-old empire on which the sun never sets.

"Li, is this where your ancient emperors ate?"

Li Chen laughed out loud, and Yang Mi and Deng Chao were also amused.

"Nolan, the dinner is in the Forbidden City. If you want to go, let Yang Mi and Deng Chao accompany you tomorrow."

"However, the delicacies in the Forbidden City can only be savored here now."

Richard from Warner also laughed and said, "Li Chen, you've never invited me here."

The fundamental reason why Richard wanted to come along is that the Chinese market is becoming increasingly important to Hollywood.

This can be seen from the fact that China's box office growth rate ranked first in the world last year.

To put it bluntly, Li Chen is becoming more and more important to Warner.

It's not just because Warner is a shareholder of Chiyou and New Line.

It is also a reflection of Li Chen's personal talent and strength.

The movie "Rip Off" surpassed the box office record of that Hollywood shipwreck in China.

With a box office of nearly 6 million US dollars, Warner cannot ignore it.

In addition, there are the single performances of Liu Yifei and Zhou Xun, as well as the Warner Music team's assessment of the quality of their albums.

Warner executives have unanimously agreed to list Li Chen as the most important partner.

This is also the main purpose of his visit to China this time.

Two Mercedes-Benz business cars went to pick up Leon.

Leon's entourage and bodyguards were in one car, and Liu Yifei and Leon were in another.

“I know you, you are Li’s girlfriend, I’m Leon, nice to meet you.”

Liu Yifei was a little depressed. She wished Leonardo could say: I know you, you are Golden Swallow!
"Me too, Rousi's boyfriend."

Leonardo laughed and didn't care about Liu Yifei's teasing at all.

"Yifei, there seems to be a reporter following behind." The assistant reminded Liu Yifei in a low voice.

"Don't worry about them. When we get to the restaurant, someone will naturally stop us."

The group arrived at Beihai Park.

Liu Yifei took Leon into the private room. Richard and Tim had met Leon before.

Tim took the initiative to stand up and wanted to introduce himself to Li Chen, but Li Chen raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "No need for introduction, this face is your business card."

"I'm Li Chen, welcome, Leon."

"Hello, I'm Leon. You don't look like in the photo." Leonardo actually said two Chinese characters "Hello".

Yang Mi was a little excited, as she finally saw the real Leo.

Deng Chao couldn't help but remind her when he saw her drooling.

"Mi Mi, take the bowl and continue eating. I'm about to drool."

"Have you forgotten what Director Li said? Don't embarrass yourself."

Yang Mi seemed to have come back to her senses: "No, I was just taking a look."

Deng Chao had a look on his face that said, "You're kidding me."

Everyone knows that you, Da Mimi, are a fan of looks, and you still miss your former idol Xie Tingfeng.

After getting to know each other, they sat down.

Yang Mi whispered to Liu Yifei beside her, "Who is more handsome, him or the senior?"

"Is there any need to ask this? You have eyes but can't you see for yourself?" Liu Yifei replied to Yang Mi with a smile.

It was like a press conference outside the restaurant.

The entertainment reporters all gathered at the entrance of the restaurant.

It didn't take long for someone to find out. Not only was Leonardo sitting inside, but also Nolan, who attended the premiere of Batman 6 in Japan yesterday.

This big news is like a bolt from the blue.

All the reporters were stunned.

What's going on? Nolan? Leonardo?
How come these two people came to China? Liu Yifei went to pick them up.

Entertainment reporters were frantically contacting Rongchen Pictures and Red Star House.

The response I got was always the same: They will know tomorrow.

The reporters refused to give up and gathered outside the restaurant.

But the news that Leon and Nolan came to China to meet Leo instantly spread online.

Sina Entertainment News

"Liu Yifei showed up at the airport to pick up Leonardo DiCaprio, Leo DiCaprio met his true love rival!"

International Online News

"Nolan, the hot Hollywood director who was promoting Batman 6 in Japan yesterday, came to China today to have a secret meeting with Li Chen."

"Rongchen Pictures revealed that it will hold a press conference at the Diaoyutai State Hotel tomorrow to announce the second Sino-US co-production project."

As soon as the news was announced, the Internet was in an uproar.

"What's going on? Little Leo is making a surprise attack again. Damn, he's so arrogant that he asked a fairy to pick up Little Leo from the other side of the ocean!"

"It's not that I'm arrogant, it's that I'm really too conceited. I'm really not afraid of an unfaithful woman, and from now on, the fairies will be passersby."

"Fuck, I suddenly understood everything! No wonder Leo kept silent and didn't make any excuses! It turns out that Leo arranged for Tianxian and Leon to act together! The director is Nolan!!!"

"Oh my god, don't tell me, it's really possible!"

"This is a real model boyfriend! He is no worse than Zhang Ziyi's ViVi! He is even better than that Emerald who would never admit her. It took a lot of effort to get a role for Huang Shengyi."

"Comparing people will lead to death, comparing goods will lead to throwing them away!"

Huayi Headquarters
This time, both the Wang brothers were unusually silent.

Xiao Wang stopped cursing and seemed a little bored.

"Brother, do you think Li Chen is really like what those netizens speculated? In order to set up a stage for Liu Yifei, he invited Nolan and that Leonardo?"

"It's not possible to hire these two people with just tens of millions of dollars. Don't even think about it if you don't have 300 or 400 million!"

"That's not the way to pick up girls!"

Wang Zhongjun was silent for a while, then he pretended to be calm and smiled: "That's good, he wants to subscribe to our shares, then this will be good news."

"Go and ask around, what kind of subject matter it is, whether you can get a role, forget about the share, maybe it's not as good as The Forbidden Kingdom!"

Wang Zhonglei sighed lightly, although the two brothers claimed to the public that they would make a sequel.

But Hollywood has its own algorithm.

Huayi has been clearly informed that it will not film a sequel to "The Forbidden Kingdom".

"The Forbidden Kingdom" is neither a success nor a failure.

This is the original response from Lionsgate. If it's not successful, there's no need for a sequel.

The general manager's office of Tangren Films in Shanghai.

"I didn't expect Li Chen to be so bold! He actually found Nolan and Leonardo. Go ask Yang Siwei if it's possible to get a role for Lao Hu."

"We can negotiate any terms!"

The assistant responded and went to do it immediately.

Cai Yinong hurriedly said, "By the way, it has now been announced that the producer of Chinese Paladin III is not only us, but also Rongchen Pictures."

"And Yang Mi was also borrowed from Rongchen Pictures!"

The assistant immediately understood what he meant, and implied that President Cai was really a good freeloader!

This wave of popularity, with the help of Rongchen Pictures, directly reached Hollywood!
