Chapter 277: Barricades
Sanqin Metropolis Daily reported

"'Zhu Chuanwu' lost 20 pounds! His appearance is comparable to that of a peacock man - black-framed glasses, a blue cardigan, a plaid shirt, and cropped houndstooth trousers. With his sweet smile, his hands holding a bag, and his slightly pigeon-toed standing posture, he looks like a 'literary and artistic young man'!"

“Breakup is not a bad thing, it may be the beginning of the next happiness.”

"The "healing" movie "Love Is Not Blind", directed by Yang Siwei and co-starred by Zhu Yawen and Tang Yan, started shooting in Beijing yesterday."

"For his first directing, Yang Siwei said he had no pressure at all, and even joked that he finally lived up to his diploma from the directing department of Media Central."

"She also expressed her gratitude to her boss for his continued support and cultivation, and tried not to lose money, otherwise this debut work might have become a swan song."

"It is reported that the total investment in this play is 3500 million yuan, the bulk of which is Li Chen's screenwriting fee, while the actor and director's salary and filming costs are only 1500 million yuan."

"The 7th Golden Eagle TV Art Festival Awards Ceremony and Closing Ceremony was held in Changsha. Although the red carpet was carried out in heavy rain, the presence of big names such as Zhou Xun, Chen Jianbin and his wife, Sun Nan, Gao Xixi, and Zhang Jizhong still made the scene star-studded."

"That night, the three dramas Red Sorghum, Soldiers Assault and Golden Wedding became the biggest winners."

"Zhou Xun and Wang Baoqiang jointly won the most important award of the night - the most popular actor and actress."

"Wang Baoqiang gave a simple speech on the spot, thanking director Li Yang for guiding him, director Li Chen for his benefactor, and his agency Huayi Brothers."

Zhou Xun, who won the award, was in high spirits and rushed to Hangzhou to join the crew of "The Sound of Wind".

Her boyfriend even took the opportunity to release a set of photos for her.

"Brother Xun, your boyfriend is a professional stylist."

Zhou Xun had a hunch that Director Li had a trap in his words, but he couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"

"You know how to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. I never saw you stand up from the sofa during the entire photo shoot."

"Director Li, you not only have a sharp tongue, but also a sharp eye!"

Zhou Xun took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress the primordial power that was about to explode.

Zhang Manyu turned around and smiled, "When will you ask your boyfriend to take a group photo for me?"

Zhou Xun smiled and said, "The Olympic photo shoot you did a while ago was great. I envy women like you who are tall and have long legs."

Li Chen did not criticize Zhou Xun anymore. Instead, he comforted her, "Brother Xun, you don't have to envy others. Although you are not tall, you have a well-proportioned figure."

Zhou Xun became even more depressed and simply turned his head to the window to avoid looking at this annoying boss.

Li Chen stopped teasing Zhou Xun and turned to look out the car window.

He was actually looking forward to meeting Teacher Ma.

After arriving at the Shangri-La Hotel, Li Chen went back to his suite to wash up, and then called Ma Yun.

In less than half an hour, Teacher Ma appeared in front of Li Chen in high spirits.

Li Chen's assistant opened the door for Ma Yun and others, and Li Chen also stood up and walked around the long sofa in the living room.

The two looked at each other and shook hands at the same time: "Director Li's name is well-known, he is indeed a promising young man."

"Mr. Ma's legend is even more miraculous. If he had been born a few years earlier, he would have definitely boarded the Alibaba train."

The two complimented each other, and then Ma Yun introduced the two people who came with them to Li Chen. Li Chen had never heard of their names, so they were definitely not the Eighteen Arhats.

The assistant served tea to the group, and then Ma Yun said, "Director Li is in Hangzhou, so I should do my best to be a good host."

Li Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, you're welcome. Your time and mine are both precious. Mr. Ma asked me out today. Just tell me what you want to say."

At this moment, Ma Yun took a quick glance at Li Chen and had a general idea in his mind.

He became famous at a young age and has a lot of wealth. He must be a confident and conceited guy.

They had only chatted for a few sentences when he got straight to the point. His style of doing things was very much to his liking.

The two brothers Bihuayi are more suitable to be his partners. One of them likes antiques, and the other likes women.

He would not cooperate with No. 2 Under Heaven unless he was begged for investment and he had been rejected by Rongchen Pictures several times.

Ma Yun's mind raced as the thought came to his mind.

"Director Li is a quick-witted person, so I'll speak frankly too."

"Guangguang is no longer following Youku's four-wheel drive, so Alibaba can take over."

"Of course, I also know that there is no free lunch in the world. As long as Director Li agrees to let Ali join, you can ask for anything you want."

In Ma Yun's opinion, Wang Changtian is too short-sighted.

Youku has the largest market share and has been losing money, but why are investment funds like Bain Capital willing to spend money on it?

Can't they see that they are losing money?

"I understand what Mr. Ma means. Although Guangguang has withdrawn, Wanda and I can still hold on. We don't need a third party for the time being."

"Besides, Guangguang is also a member of the Han and Tang Foundation."

Ma Yun was not discouraged even though she was rejected by Li Chen.

There are many video websites competing for supremacy. Tudou and Youku have both completed four rounds of financing. It remains to be seen who will ring the bell first next year.

He believed that not only his Alibaba, but also that Xiao Ma was probably thinking about the layout of the large entertainment sector.

And the person in front of me is definitely a crucial link.

The combination of Rongchen Pictures, Light Media and Wanda can be said to be a perfect complement.

Theoretically speaking, a closed loop has been formed. If Alibaba is added, it will be invincible.

He doesn't just want to participate, his ultimate goal is to be the boss.

Ma Yun laughed and said, "I wonder what Director Li thinks about the relationship between the Internet and the film and television industry."

"Mr. Ma, this question is a bit big. Let me give you an analogy, which may not be appropriate."

Ma Yun looked at Li Chen with sharp eyes, waiting for his next words.

“Let’s put it this way: in the next few years, our lives will undergo tremendous changes because of the Internet.”

“The Internet is like a giant beast, not just the entertainment industry.”

"All walks of life that are closely related to life will be impacted by the Internet behemoth."

"The three giants leading the Internet have already taken shape: Alibaba, Penguin, and Baidu."

Ma Yun smiled inwardly. She didn't expect that this young man Li Chen had such a good vision. There were many people who could see this, but not many of his age.

But Li Chen's next words made him a little surprised.

"Rongchen Pictures has done a lot in the past few years, and it is actually also in preparation."

Ma Yun asked, "What are you preparing for?"

Li Chen smiled and said, "Of course, we are preparing for the Internet to enter the market in the future."

"Rongchen Pictures is like a clear stream, not being swayed by capital and standing on its own."

Ma Yun smiled and said, "I see. It seems Director Li will not cooperate with me, nor will he choose Penguin and Ferry?"

Li Chen nodded: "That's right, because Rongchen Pictures itself is the largest capital in the film and television industry"
