Chapter 294: Lao Mouzi's Compromise Again
It was almost nine o'clock when we left the movie channel building.

After getting in the car, Zhou Xun sat next to Li Chen and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you will be the focus again tomorrow, Director Li."

"You are wrong. It is our "The Whistleblower" that has become the focus. There has never been a year when no one has fired a shot at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards."

"The focus tonight is not the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, but The Whisper of the Wind and you."

Li Chen looked back at Wang Zhiwen and Chen Baoguo who were sitting in the back.

"I was quite surprised that the two teachers sang praises for The Sound of Wind today."

Chen Baoguo laughed and said, "I am telling the truth."

"Everyone calls the movie channel the Sixth Princess. I can't lie with my eyes open, right?"

When I returned to the villa, Tim called me and said that the verdict of the lawsuit involving "Kung Fu Panda" would be announced at the end of the month.

The lawyer said the chances of winning are great, but the chances of losing money are slim.

Just like the "King Kong" copyright lawsuit back then, the final result is likely to be that everyone gets something.

"I see, Tim, how's Inception going?"

"That's what I was going to tell you, Boss. Nolan hopes Crystal and the others will be here in early November."

“The filming should start in January next year.”

"I see. It's okay for you to tell him. How is Wen Ziren doing recently?"

"He, haha, was too idle, complaining to me that Lionsgate dominated Halloween this year."

"And asked me when The Conjuring 2 will be released."

“But he’s now known in Hollywood as a master of horror.”

"I heard that several production companies have approached him."

Li Chen nodded: "He also called me, and I told him that The Conjuring 2 will be released next year."

"As for if other production companies find him, we don't need to interfere."

"Please prepare the materials for Twilight as soon as possible. I will also find someone to try to get it screened simultaneously with North America."

"I understand, boss. I will send you the materials as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone with Tim, Li Chen remembered that the domestic box office of "Twilight" in his previous life was only over 10 million.

But most of the reason is that it was released a year later than in North America.

Whether it is VCD, videotape or pirated version on the Internet, they have been watched too much.

If they can be released simultaneously this time, the box office won't be too low thanks to the Chi You trademark.

Tim acted quickly and faxed all the prepared materials over that same day.

The next day, Li Chen personally took the information and went to China Film Studio.

At this moment, the Internet was full of news about the Sixth Princess last night.

Sohu Entertainment News

"The Sixth Princess is ruining the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers show."

"The day when Li Chen said 'Golden Roosters don't lay double-yolked eggs, and hundreds of flowers don't bloom ghost flowers', was the day when Rongchen Pictures submitted its works for selection."

"Li Chen strongly supports Zhang Manyu as the first-level actress, and Manyu's fans are delighted."

"Gong Li, also known as the "Gong Queen", and Rongchen Films' Venice Film Festival winner Zhou Xun, the first Chinese-language film actress to win three Golden Globes awards, were all classified by Li Chen as the second tier."

"Regarding the comments on double-Award-winning director Li Chen, some people think that he deserves the honor and that Director Li Chen is also qualified."

"Some people also felt that Director Li Chen was as arrogant as ever, and his words showed no respect for seniors like Gong Li and Xiao Fangfang."

NetEase Entertainment News

"Wang Zhiwen, the Best Actor of the Magnolia Awards and the Best Actor of the Hundred Flowers Awards, and Chen Baoguo, a national first-class actor, praised The Whistleblower. Chen Baoguo strongly supports The Whistleblower, which may be a monument to spy war themes."

Li Chen has been a controversial figure since his debut.

Those who like him like him to the core, while those who hate him think even a second of looking at him is too much.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to see Rongchen Films' films nominated for the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards in my lifetime. As the saying goes, a dog will always eat shit, and a chicken will always lay double yolk eggs." "I just like Leo's madness, he doesn't care about anyone. What's wrong with Gong Li? She's definitely not as good as Maggie Cheung."

"That's right, there seems to be no comparison when it comes to awards and nationality, it's just that Lao Mouzi is kind-hearted, otherwise..."

New Picture Chairman's Office.

For the first time, Zhang Weiping felt that Li Chen was not completely useless.

At least his view on Gong Li coincides with his.

He always felt that Gong Li was not worthy of being his good friend.

It was he who deliberately exposed Gong Li in "Curse of the Golden Flower".

Why should his good brother take the blame for so many years?

There was a knock on the door and Zhang Yimou pushed it open.

Zhang Weiping stood up and laughed: "Yimou, you came to see me so early in the morning, have you figured it out?"

Zhang Yimou sighed inwardly: "You don't seem surprised at all that I would compromise."

An embarrassed look flashed across Zhang Weiping's face: "How can this be called a compromise?"

"I'm not surprised because I know you're a reasonable person like me."

"Look at Li Chen, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kexin and others. None of them are good people."

"Our first goal now is to regain the box office championship we lost."

"Everything else should be put off until the future. Ideals and sentiments should be left in the 20th century!"

Zhang Yimou let out a long sigh: "Weiping, I can give in this time, but you have to promise that I have the final say on the next play."

Zhang Weiping snorted in his heart, but said, "Okay, okay, we are brothers, we can discuss everything!"

Li Chen's remarks sparked a lot of discussion in the circle.

Especially Li Qiaoqiao, who won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress.

Thinking of his Versailles acceptance speech and his excited tears on the day of winning the award, Li Qiaoqiao felt like he had eaten a fly.

But the person who made the comment is someone who cannot be offended.

Even if it was someone else but Director Li, she herself could not speak out at this time.

Even Director Yin of "The Legend of Yun Shui" didn't say a word, so what could she say?

It is true that Baihua is too annoying.

"Sister, please don't express your opinion. It's the business of Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers to fight back."

"Just pretend you didn't hear or see anything. Besides, Director Li also said you're a good actor. The belated love is the fault of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards."

Li Qiaoqiao laughed on the phone and said, "Do you even need to tell me that? Oh, don't say Director Li didn't say much about me."

"That's what he said. Some people wanted him to say something, but he was too lazy to comment."

Li Yu smiled and said, "I'm relieved if you think so. You are right."

"The people he commented on last night were all movie queens like Zhou Xun, Gong Li, and Xiao Fangfang."

Li Chen arrived at the China Film Building. The secretary was not polite when he saw Li Chen.

"Director Li, Mr. Han is in the office. Please go in by yourself. Mr. Han is not in a good mood."

Li Chen laughed: "It's okay, that's because you haven't seen me. Once you see me, your boss Han will no longer have to worry about anything."

The secretary secretly clicked his tongue and thought to himself that you have a really big heart.

Li Chen knocked on the door, and when he heard Han Saping say "Come in", he pushed the door open and walked in.

As if he knew it was Li Chen, Han Saping didn't even raise his head and continued to look at the documents and write and draw.

Li Chen laughed: "Is Director Han busy?"

After that, he didn't treat himself as an outsider, and took the tea leaves from Lao Han's cabinet and brewed them for himself.
