Chapter 297 The Damned Can't Be Saved

There are more and more artists in the lobby on the third floor of the Great Hall.

Some people came over to greet Yang Siwei, and some Yang Siwei took the initiative to approach them to build relationships.

The two girls of the three newcomers were handed over to Tang Yan, and Zhu Yilong was handed over to Deng Chao.

Half of the eight golden flowers from the 96 class of the Central Academy of Drama are here today.

Zeng Li and Mei Ting came together, and they will fly to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow to be bridesmaids for Hu Jing.

As soon as I got off the bus, I saw Qin Hailu getting off the bus as well.

Among the three, Mei Ting has participated in the most works of Rongchen Pictures and Noon Sunshine.

He also won the Feitian Award for "Parents' Love".

Zeng Li participated in "Painted Skin 2" and Qin Hailu participated in "Red Sorghum", and won the Magnolia Best Supporting Actress Award for Red Sorghum.

The best actress award is of course Zhou Xun.

Although "Painted Skin 2" achieved high box office, it missed the domestic film festival because of Li Chen.

Zeng Li called out, "Xiaolu."

"Stop shouting. She won't be able to hear you even if you scream at the top of your lungs," Mei Ting said with a smile.

The two of them greeted the fans and quickly followed.

Only after entering the lobby on the first floor did he call Qin Hailu.

Qin Hailu turned around and saw that it was these two people, so he smiled and said, "You two came together and didn't call me."

There were staff members maintaining order in the hall, constantly shooing away reporters who wanted to come forward like they were shooing away flies.

The three of them went up to the lobby on the third floor together and then stopped to chat.

"You two are bridesmaids. You must be crazy about getting married, right?" Qin Hailu joked.

"I'm not in a hurry. Xiaomei is the oldest. I'll help her grab the bouquet when it's thrown." Zeng Li said with a smile.

Mei Ting rolled his eyes at the two of them and said, "Do you think everyone has the sobriety to be quiet in this world?"

Zeng Li smiled and said, "That's true. The overall environment is so bad this year. It's a good time to get married."

"Your good friend Liu Tao is also a smart man who got married with a baby in his womb."

"I heard that she gave birth to a daughter a while ago. How is she doing? Did her rich mother-in-law give her the cold shoulder?"

Speaking of this, Qin Hailu recalled that he went to visit Liu Tao who had returned to China a while ago.

But she didn't look happy at all when marrying into a wealthy family. Instead, there was a hint of sadness on her face.

When asked the reason, she avoided the question.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Go there and take some photos and take good care of the bride for me." Qin Hailu didn't want to continue this topic.

When the three of them were together, no one mentioned Zhang Ziyi, one of the eight golden flowers.

"The three senior sisters are getting more and more beautiful." Deng Chao and Tang Yan brought a few newcomers to greet the three golden flowers.

As soon as Liu Dehua and Fan Qiaoqiao appeared in the lobby on the first floor, reporters followed them all the way and never left them.

"Hua Zai, Qiao Qiao, your new movie "Future Police" with Director Wang Jing is rumored to have an investment of 1.5 million yuan. Are you here for Director Li's "Passengers"? "

"You two are the leading actors in Future Police, and Qiao Qiao and another superstar Li Ming are the leading actors in Passengers."

"Director Li and Director Wang are both among the most famous directors in mainland China and Hong Kong. What do you think of these two sci-fi masterpieces?"

"Do you think Director Li's sci-fi romance is better, or Director Wang Jing's sci-fi police and gangster film is more attractive?"

Fan Qiaoqiao smiled and looked at Liu Dehua beside him.

In this situation, she felt that it was still necessary for the highly emotionally intelligent Brother Hua to step in.

If she were to speak, she really wouldn't know what to say.

You definitely can't tell the truth, there's no comparison.

"Passengers" was invested with 8500 million US dollars and "Future Police" was invested with 1.5 million RMB.

The difference is four times.
Liu Dehua said with a smile: "You guys have bad intentions. Both Passengers and Future Cops are our first attempts at Chinese-language science fiction films."

"If you must compare the box office, you can ask Wang Jing later. I believe he must be feeling insecure when facing Li Chen."

The reporters burst into laughter; they didn't expect Liu Dehua to be so objective.

Fan Qiaoqiao thought to himself that only Brother Hua could say this.

Although she now has a considerable amount of capital, she is not yet qualified to evaluate these great directors.

Liu Dehua added: "That year you asked me which one was better, A World Without Thieves or Kung Fu." "I told Xiaogang at the time that it was not shameful to lose to Zhou Xingchi."

“But didn’t Stephen Chow’s “CJ7” also lose to Xiao Gang’s “Assembly” this year?”

"But you guys have also seen 'Dad, Let's Draw the Bow'. To paraphrase what we said back then, it's not shameful to lose to Li Chen."

"In the past few years, he really has never lost."

After getting rid of the reporters, Liu Dehua and Fan Qiaoqiao went up to the third floor under the guidance of the staff.

"Brother Hua, it has to be you. If I were to say this today, I would definitely be scolded to death." Fan Qiaoqiao said with a smile.

"No, I'm telling the truth. At times like this, as long as you tell the truth, there will definitely be more people praising you than scolding you."

Fan Qiaoqiao chewed it carefully and thought to himself that what Liu Dehua said was right.

When Li Chen arrived with several leading actors from the crew, the hall was already packed with stars.

In the starry and magnificent hall, there are dots of light like nebulae.

Han Saping brought Ning Hao, and Bald Xu accompanied Wang Changtian, and the four of them stood together talking and laughing.

There is also a slightly redundant Yu Dong on the side.

Seeing this, Yu Dong smiled and said, "Director Li is here."

Li Chen left a few actors behind and walked forward, saying with a smile, "You guys are here early."

Han Sanping said unhappily, "When have you ever come earlier? You're even more arrogant than me."

"If you come later, Director Tong will be here!"

Wang Changtian said with a smile: "Director Han, Li Chen always likes to enter the venue at a specific time, but today he can do it."

"To be honest, I'm used to waiting for him, haha."

When Li Chen saw this situation, it seemed that Ning Hao was being lured under by Han Saping.

Bald Xu seemed to have joined Lao Wang and became Lao Wang's chief.

Suddenly, a hint of enlightenment came into my mind.

New Picture has Zhang Yimou, Huayi has Feng Xiaogang, and Guangguang also sees the important role of great directors.

China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group are not far behind.

Both sides are casting a wide net, and would rather kill someone by mistake than miss out.

Ning Hao and Li Chen walked aside: "There is something I need to explain to you, don't think too much about it."

Li Chen found Ning Hao's serious look quite funny.

"Just tell me what's going on. I don't have time to think about it."

"I handed Mr. Han a notebook a while ago and asked him to help with the advice."

"I originally thought that once President Han approved it, I would bring it to you to see if you were willing to invest."

"As a result, President Han looked at it and said there was no need to look for you, as China Film Group was enough."

"You said you don't lack good books. So, so."

Ning Hao didn't finish speaking, but Li Chen already understood.

"What do I take it for? Just this? Don't worry, I won't think too much about it. The real thing is that you shouldn't think too much about it."

Ning Hao smiled when he heard Li Chen say that, "Boss Han said you wouldn't take it seriously, and he was right."

"Actually, I showed it to Director Han first because I was afraid that this book wouldn't pass the review."

Li Chen didn't ask him in detail what book it was, he just said it casually.

"In our country, as long as Director Han and Director Ren are willing to help, there are very few scripts that cannot be approved."

"But whether it can be released after being filmed is another matter."

Li Chen already knew which play Ning Hao was talking about.

I'm afraid it must be Ning Hao's most difficult work "No Man's Land"!
Ning Hao obviously didn't hear the implication of Li Chen's words: "With President Han here, these problems don't exist, right?"

Li Chen added: "To be on the safe side, I suggest you find a Hong Kong company to cooperate with."

"The producer was changed to Hong Kong Island, just like "Father's Love Is Like a Mountain"."

"Even if the film fails to pass the mainland screening, it will not affect your winning awards and the release in other regions."

Ning Hao was a little surprised: "Is this necessary?"

Li Chen smiled, but said no more.
