Chapter 263 The First Person to Withdraw

After the passion burned out, the blush on Miss Liu's face had not yet faded.

The two snuggled together and could hear each other's heartbeat.

Li Chen put his arm around Miss Liu's shoulders, enjoying a moment of peace.

After a moment, the sound of the phone vibrating again seemed particularly harsh.

Miss Liu picked it up and looked at it: "It's Director Ren, please answer it quickly, I'm going to take a shower."

After saying that, he lifted the thin blanket and got out of bed.

Li Chen shook his head and cursed with a smile: "Unfeeling girl, run away after using it."

Miss Liu looked back and gave Li Chen a proud look.

As soon as the call was connected, Ren Zhonglun said with a smile: "You didn't show up from beginning to end. Sanping and I have become your employees."

Li Chen laughed: "I'm going to show up. I'm afraid the media's focus today won't be on Inception."

Ren Zhonglun smiled and said, "That's true. By the way, The Mummy 3 will have its premiere in Shanghai next month. Do you have time?"

"I won't go, Mr. Ren. If I go, I will definitely not say anything nice. Why would I embarrass you and the Kung Fu Emperor?"

Ren Zhonglun actually just mentioned it casually.

Hearing Li Chen say this, he became curious again: "Have you seen it?"

"I haven't seen it, but I'm not interested. If he makes "Fang Shiyu 3", I'd be interested in watching it."

"The Emperor of Kung Fu doesn't make serious action movies, but instead makes these kind of popcorn-style weird thrillers. Isn't that destroying his own martial arts?"

"I can almost guess the content of this movie 'The Mummy 3' just by reading the introduction."

"It's nothing more than a clichéd trick by the Americans to turn into the savior and save us Chinese."

Ren Zhonglun felt quite embarrassed listening to Li Chen's sharp comments.

Li Chen had no intention of continuing to speak and embarrass Ren Zhonglun.

After all, this is the first co-production between Shanghai Film Group and the United States.

However, Ren Zhonglun and Han Saping are two different types of people.

Compared with Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun is more like a businessman.

When investing in films like "Lust, Caution" and "The Mummy 3", they never care whether the film's ideas and content are appropriate.

As long as the director and actors are famous enough and can bring profits to Shanghai Film Studio, that's enough.

If I hadn't been helping Han Saping in recent years, China Film Group's profits would have been far behind Shanghai Film Group.

Just hung up the phone with Ren Zhonglun.

Xiang Huaqiang, who I hadn't contacted for a long time, called again.

It turned out that the Shama Apartment invested by his wife Chen Lan in Beijing was opening on September 9, and she invited Li Chen and Liu Yifei to attend the opening ceremony.

Gong Li, Li Lianjie and others will also be present at that time.

Li Chen refused on behalf of Miss Liu, and he himself said that he would see the situation at that time.

Xiang Huaqiang didn't say much.

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen thought that in his previous life, Miss Liu seemed to have attended the opening ceremony of Martha Apartments.

I'm afraid there was nothing that could be done at that time.
Li Chen called Liu Dehua and others back to ask about the characters they were concerned about.

Li Chen said frankly that everything has been finalized.

The next day, Richard and Chen Jianshun, two senior executives of Warner Bros. and Warner Music Greater China, met with Li Chen.

Sina Entertainment News

"On the last day of July, Warner Music announced that it would hold a grand signing ceremony for Liu Yifei at the French classical architectural style Chateau Lafayette in the suburbs on her 8st birthday, August 25."

"At that time, Liu Yifei's first solo album "Twenty-One Fei" will be released simultaneously, according to Chen Jianshun, head of Warner Music."

"Director Li Chen composed the music for Liu Yifei for 'Twenty-One'. The album includes eight singles including 'A Sky Full of Stars Is Not as Good as You' and 'Parting Blossoms'." "It's no exaggeration to say that every single is a hit song!"

"In addition, Zhou Xun's first album after joining Warner, "Angel in the Devil", has also begun production, and the composer and lyrics are still directed by Li Chen."

"President Chen Jianshun praised Director Li Chen for his talent. Both his writing and composing are equally amazing."

Liu Yifei's fans are constantly surprised.

No matter what other singers’ fans complain about Liu Yifei’s average singing skills, it’s all thanks to Li Chen who composed the music and lyrics.

It's like a child taking a Type 54 pistol to fight an adult.

Many professional singers are no match for Liu Yifei. The media commented in four words: It’s no fault of hers.

Netizens are almost numb.

The year 2008 seems to have become Liu Yifei's world.

"The Thieves" and "The Forbidden Kingdom" were released, and "Inception" was filmed next, three Hollywood blockbusters.

He is also going to release an album. At the beginning of the year, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was broadcast on TV for the first time, covering all the film, television and music works.

"The leader is really in love and can't extricate himself. Twenty-one Fei? Love is Yifei? Love Yifei to death? This is damn love."

"I think the gold content of Brother Xun's album is unique among Scorpion Papa. Of course, Yifei is an exception. We mortals can't compare ourselves to the gods, right, Brother Xun?"

Every time Liu Yifei faced teasing from netizens and friends in the circle, she enjoyed it very much and would occasionally give mischievous anonymous replies to netizens.

But Liu Yifei couldn't help but feel a little worried. The two had been together for four or five years and had never had a quarrel.

I hope that when I blush, I won't get out of control.
She knew Li Chen very well. He seemed easy to talk to, but he was actually very difficult to talk to.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have ignored the fact that I had said it twice and never helped sister Changchang once.

The Olympics finally opened.

Lao Mouzi was instantly deified.

The lost reputation of "House of Flying Daggers" and "Curse of the Golden Flower" was returned doubled at this moment.

When facing media interviews, Zhang Yimou denied the claim that he wanted to go into politics, and responded to reporters in a very down-to-earth manner that he loved the camera more.

At the same time, he also revealed to the outside world that he will return soon.
Perhaps the most impatient one is Zhang Weiping.

New Picture Chairman's Office.

Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou had just finished a phone call and were ready to get down to business.

The secretary knocked on the door and came in, and saw Zhang Weiping's face flushed, as if he had taken drugs.

"You prepare yourself. Once Baihua announces the nomination list, we will withdraw from the election."

The secretary was a little surprised: "Withdraw from the election?"

Zhang Weiping raised his eyebrows: "Why, we can't retreat?"

When the secretary saw Zhang Weiping's expression change, he immediately responded, "No, no, I'll get ready now, Director Zhang."

After leaving Zhang Weiping's office, the secretary kept sighing at his boss's train of thought.

Withdrawing from the Hundred Flowers Film Festival is probably the first time in history, and it will cause heated discussions.

But the secretary now roughly understood his boss's intention.

Anyway, "Curse of the Golden Flower" has been taken off the screen.

Winning an award no longer has any marketing benefit for the film.

It can also create news to pave the way for Director Zhang's comeback.

It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone. As for Baihua's face, Old Zhang doesn't care.

When he thought of his boss's mockery of China's oldest film award and his deception of the 260 million voting audiences across the country.

The secretary was somewhat impressed by his boss's courage.
