Chapter 298: Not enough box office, the blockers come to make up

Chen Kaige was very pleased to see Li Chen coming towards him.

As soon as Li Chen saw the poet's teachable expression, he knew what he was thinking.

Chen Hong was still a good person. She smiled and took the initiative to step forward: "Li Chen, congratulations on the big sale of "Draw the Bow"."

"Sister Hong, you're too polite. I can't wait to see Mei Lanfang. The trailers are not enough."

Li Chen smiled and complimented him, and Chen Kaige felt much better.

"You must come to the premiere. It won't be much worse than Farewell My Concubine and it will definitely surprise you." Chen Kaige looked so confident that no one else could do it better than him.

It is still somewhat convincing. If someone has not seen the two films, they would really be fooled by the poet.

Li Chen responded with a few words and then went over to chat with Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Ziyi is also next to Zhang Yimou.

"Li Chen, congratulations. I'm jealous of the box office of 'Draw the Bow'." Zhang Yimou said with a smile.

"Thank you Director Zhang. This achievement is not due to the momentum of the Olympics. It is not as good as Director Zhang's victory at the opening ceremony of the Olympics."

"Now the title of the National Master is known to everyone."

Zhang Ziyi also tucked her tail between her legs and laughed, "The two of you should stop flattering each other."

"Director Li, I also watched "Draw the Bow" twice and benefited a lot from it."

"Teacher, Director Li, you two must come to the premiere of my film, Perfect Match, and give us your support and suggestions."

Zhang Yimou nodded with a simple smile on his face.

Li Chen also nodded perfunctorily: "I will definitely go when I have time."

"Why didn't I see Yifei today?" Zhang Yimou asked again.

"I only saw her twice during her time in Beijing. She was busy shooting commercials."

Zhang Ziyi was extremely envious, if they were to compare the pay.

Liu Yifei definitely can't compare with her now.

But in terms of endorsements, I'm afraid Liu Yifei has surpassed her.

Scorpio is the only female star in China who has endorsed three luxury brands.

Zhou Jie Lun's late arrival caused a lot of discussion.

Sina reported that Zhou Jie Lun was coming, and people in the industry speculated whether Li Chen had chosen this little Taiwanese superstar for another new work.

But as soon as the little superstar entered the hall and greeted a few familiar people, he was intercepted by Wang Changtian from Guangxian.

After a while, everyone saw Li Chen also walked over and shook hands with Zhou Jie Lun. The three of them looked like they were having a very pleasant conversation.

Zhou Jie Lun seemed a little shy in front of Li Chen and Wang Changtian.

"I didn't expect that President Wang actually invited President Jay Chou." Li Chen laughed.

"Director Li can just call me Jie Lun. In front of Director Wang and Director Li, I can't say Jay Chou."

Wang Changtian also smiled: "Don't be polite, Li Chen is afraid that I can't invite you."

"I didn't expect that Jie Lun listened to our "China Good Voice" blind audition and blind selection mode, and agreed after only three days of consideration."

Zhou Jielun also laughed and said, "I am also under a lot of pressure because of the popularity of Director Li's "Twenty One Fei".

Zhou Jie Lun was convinced of this point, as the first album of a new artist had not even been released for a month.

Sales in Asia exceeded 180 million copies.

It is simply a miracle in this overall depressed environment of the record industry.

But the big names in the music industry all know that it’s not about how well Liu Yifei sings, but the quality of the album is indeed excellent.

Especially the composition and lyrics, they are simply top-notch.

Just like this movie "Draw the Bow", the big names in the film industry do not think that the high box office is entirely due to Liu Yifei.

"Director Li, Director Wang, excuse me for asking, have the other three mentors been decided?"

Wang Changtian glanced at Li Chen, who nodded slightly. Wang Changtian smiled and said, "Since Jie Lun asked, we won't hide it from you."

"We are considering Liu Huan, Zhang Xueyou, and Zhang Xinzhe as the other three mentors, and we are still in contact with them."

When Zhou Jielun heard this, he said: "Wow, they are all seniors, I feel so pressured"

Li Chen laughed: "You don't have to be modest. You have earned the title of Little King through hard work."

"As a Capricorn, I feel weak when competing with your Capricornus!"

Zhou Jie Lun laughed and said, "Director Li is so humorous." The premiere started at 2 o'clock and the audience checked their tickets and entered the venue.

The audience who can come to attend the premiere are not simple.

One of Zhang Manyu's fanatical fans said to the reporter: "I love Zhang Manyu so much."

"I have a movie theater at home with nine theaters. I want all nine theaters to be showing The Whistleblower!"

Now, before the premiere even started, Zhang Manyu had another title: the Nine-hall Goddess of Man!

The first song was "Ten Years in the World" sung by Zhang Jie as the opening song.

He Jiong teased Zhang Jie: "Xiao Jie's song "Ten Years on Earth" brought him great success in both love and career."

"He kidnapped our Nana. Director Li, can you give me a song next time so that I can stand out as a hero too?"

Zhang Jie smiled a little unconfidently, took the microphone and thanked Li Chen and his girlfriend Xie Na who were present for their support.

Everyone at the scene burst into laughter, and many people were thinking that it would be interesting if Liu Ye were there today.

Wang Changtian sat next to Li Chen and asked about "The Voice of China".

Whether it is Guangguang or Blueberry Channel, I am optimistic about both variety shows.

But before it was broadcast, no one could predict what the situation would be.

Therefore, both parties were cautious and pragmatic when it came to signing the contract.

He proposed a season-by-season contract with Rongchen Pictures.

Signing a contract for one season is also in the interests of Rongchen Pictures.

Once the first season becomes popular, the second season will have a different price.

By then, Blueberry TV and Guangguang will beg Li Chen to sign a contract.

He Jiong and Jingwei invited Li Chen and other main creators to the stage.

After some on-site interaction, several leading actors and Li Chen were asked to estimate the box office.

The leading actors were more cunning than each other, and finally they handed the microphone to Li Chen after much persuasion.

"This is the first mainstream theme, I just hope everyone will support it, remember history, and remember the original intention."

"As for the box office, it's not important. It's something that The Whistleblower couldn't achieve."

"Let's leave it to Yang Siwei's Love Is Not Blind. I believe it will not disappoint you."

Yang Siwei was suddenly embarrassed.

"Mr. Yang, Director Li is advertising for you," Fan Qiaoqiao leaned close to Yang Siwei's ear and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yang. This is Mr. Yang's debut film. Everyone should give him a hand." Huang Xiaoming, who was sitting behind him, leaned forward and smiled quietly.

Tang Yan also laughed and said, "With our CEO Yang's connections and good popularity in the entertainment industry, I'm afraid even the boss can't do it."

Yang Siwei laughed and said, "Don't dare let the boss hear this."

After He Jiong asked the question, Jingwei asked Han Saping another question.

"Director Han, China Film Group is the distributor."

"Director Li said before that the copyright transaction of "The Sound of Wind" was not high, but it was not low either."

"I can tell you today exactly how much it is, right?"

Han Sanping was sitting in the first row of the stage. He took the microphone and stood up to face the guests and the audience.

"The Sound of Wind has been exported to Mainland China, Hong Kong, and 11 other countries and regions around the world."

"The copyright transaction amount is 1750 million US dollars."

Everyone at the scene thought it was indeed not high, but not low either.

Plus the two patch ads, I don’t know what kind of sky-high price they were sold for.

There is definitely no pressure to make a profit on "The Sound of Wind".

There is also the extremely high single sales of "Ten Years of Life".

Of course, the final speech was given by Director Tong.

This is a very standard speech, hoping that everyone will support "The Sound of Wind", the first domestic main-theme spy war blockbuster.

After the premiere, Han Saping gave Li Chen a reassurance.

To sum it up, it can be summed up in eight words: If the box office is not enough, the party members will make up for it.
