Chapter 344 Strike
"'Don't talk to me about life. You haven't even given birth to a child. What qualifications do you have to talk about life?' Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Zhang Jiayi is such a funny guy."

"'Loyalty is worth more than a heart'. The big boss Wang is really clear-headed!"

"'Some people have an A side and a B side, some people have an S side and a B side, but you can't always see our SB side' Hahaha, I've fallen in love with Huang Xiaoxian's sharp tongue."

"'You really should learn to smile like the ladies from wealthy families, they smile gently and reservedly, but you want to show your teeth to everyone!' I seriously suspect that Leo is taking this opportunity to complain about the goddess!"

"I saw the shadow of Leo in the venomous tongues of Huang Xiaoxian, Wang Xiaojian and Big Brother Wang!"

At noon, reviews of "Love Is Not Blind" began to appear on the Internet one after another.

The majority of reviews are positive, but there are also some negative reviews.

The focus is mainly on the lines, which can be said to be both the success and the failure.

Yang Siwei stared at the computer screen as if he was staring at the stock market.

"Boss, I'm afraid these negative reviews are related to Huayi. You're leaving comments at 7am. Aren't you at work?"

Li Chen sat on the sofa, sipping tea by himself, looking as leisurely as an hermit.

Seeing that Li Chen ignored her, Yang Siwei stopped reading the film reviews and walked over to sit down opposite Li Chen.

"What, you don't want to watch it anymore?" Li Chen said with a smile.

"I won't watch it anymore. Out of sight, out of mind."

"This is just the beginning. The more you stand in the spotlight, the more likely you are to become a thorn in the eyes of others."

Yang Siwei said with a smile: "Boss, I see you never seem to care about these bad reviews."

Li Chen poured Yang Siwei a cup of tea and said, "This is a must-have skill for a great director."

“They can write, and I’ll read, but I certainly won’t listen.”

Yang Siwei laughed and said, "That makes sense, Boss. I understand. But if I find out that Hua Yi was the one who stabbed me in the back, I won't just curse him back!"

"By the way, Boss, the filming of Immortal 3 will be wrapped up next week. Mimi and Cai Yinong both hope that you can attend the wrap-up party."

"I'm not going. I'll let Yu Miao go in my place."

As soon as the 8-minute trailer of "Xian San" was released at the Beijing TV Festival in late October, it became a huge hit.

It took only three days to complete nationwide distribution, and more than a dozen satellite TV stations competed for its exclusive first broadcast rights.

Finally, Lizhi TV bought the first round of satellite broadcast rights of "Xian III" for 400 million per episode.

This was only the first round, Cai Yinong was in high spirits and felt very proud in front of Li Chen.

Rongchen Pictures invested 2000 million yuan and earned nearly 5 times the profit.

It is enough to make up for the two movie roles played by Hu Ge.

Tang Yan and Luo Jin came out of the cinema and went back to the apartment together.

Tang Yan was happy because from the feedback from the audience, she knew that she had a new representative role: Huang Xiaoxian.

"I'm so happy for you, Sugar."

"If Father's Love 10 had not been released in mainland China, you would have most likely become the second actress in mainland China to have a total box office of over billion yuan."

There was a hint of sourness in Luo Jin's words; how could Tang Yan not hear it?

"Painted Skin" earned 2.9 million yuan, "Father's Love" earned 1.35 million yuan, and "Bad Genius" earned 1.5 million yuan, with a total of 5.8 million yuan for the three dramas.

In China, she is second only to big sister Zhou Xun and boss lady Liu Yifei.

Zhou Xun became the first female star in China to earn RMB 10 billion at the box office with the movie "The Whistleblower".

The two "Painted Skin" movies together grossed 5 million yuan, "The Whisper of the Wind" grossed 3.85 million yuan, and there was also "The Banquet" that grossed over 10 million yuan, as well as other art films. She is the first female star in China to gross over billion yuan.

Liu Yifei's combined earnings from "Those Years" and "The Bow" are close to 8 million yuan. If we include the co-production "The Thieves", she would be considered a 10 billion yuan actress.

"Are you envious or jealous?" Tang Yan sat next to Luo Jin and said with a smile.

The two of them sat on the circular sofa in the living room. Luo Jin said, "Why should I be jealous? After all, Director Li is not a woman."

Tang Yan found it funny: "You said it as if my boss would sign you if she was a woman."

Luo Jin also laughed, hugged Tang Yan and said to her: "You and Mimi are now on the rise, and have already competed with the old-fashioned four Dan and two Bing."

"Siwei has signed Jiang Shuying, Deng Jiajia and Reba. I think Director Li puts appearance first when signing people. They are all beauties." Tang Yan stood up for her boss: "Who said that? What do Xiaozhu and Zhang Yi say?"

Luo Jin laughed and said, "Xiao Zhu took the boss lady route, and Zhang Yi took Director Kang's backdoor. Don't you know?"

"Even I, your boyfriend, am a result of your influence."

Tang Yan shook Luo Jin: "Why are you saying this? The boss said that sooner or later we will adopt the studio model."

"I asked the boss. Whether it's you or me, if we set up our own studio in the future, he will do his best to support us."

Luo Jin's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Tang Yan pushed Luo Jin and said, "You've had this idea for a long time!"

Luo Jin smiled and said, "I feel relieved after hearing what Director Li said. I plan to set up my own studio after "The Hidden" and "The Leader" are broadcast."

"I'll have to rely on Miss Tangtang to take care of me when the time comes!"

Tang Yan was full of confidence: "Don't worry, my boss is a man of his word, and he will never break his promise."

The next afternoon, good news came from "Love Is Not Blind".

Sina Entertainment News

"Love Is Not Blind" directed by new director Yang Siwei was released on the same day as "Women Are Not Bad" directed by genius director Xu Ke. The box office on the first day reached 33 million, which surprised many industry insiders and became the dark horse of the year."

"After tickets were sold out in many theaters across the country on the first day of its release, the number of screenings nationwide soared to 10,000 on the second day of its release, surpassing the screening rate of Mei Lanfang in one fell swoop."

Netizens don't mind rubbing salt into Director Chen's wounds.

“Why is there no first-day box office for “Women Are Not Bad”? Can’t you explain it?”

"I feel sorry for Director Chen for a few seconds. It's one thing that The Promise was spoofed by Hu Ge, but Mei Lanfang was overwhelmed by Yang Siwei, a heavyweight. Oh my god, how embarrassed Director Chen must be."

"What hurts people the most is that Leo shouted loudly at the beginning: "Mei Lanfang" is the most worth-watching movie in this year's Lunar New Year! My brother Chen has to thank Leo for supporting him!"

As soon as Sina reported the news, they didn't mention that Xu had vomited three liters of blood.

It was just that Director Chen looked like he had been hit by Li Chen's Seven Injury Fist, and all the meridians in his body were broken.

"This, this." Chen Kaige sat down on the chair dejectedly.

I couldn't even curse Li Chen, this trouble maker.

No matter how people curse, everyone on earth knows that Li Chen said his "Mei Lanfang" is the most worth-seeing movie this year.

Even he himself has the illusion that no one else can do it but him.

However, it suffered a heavy blow at the box office on the first day as soon as it was released, and then today a dark horse came along and gave it a hard kick.

And this dark horse is the top horse under Li Chen who said that "Mei Lanfang" is the most worth watching.

This guy gave Old Chen a sweet treat first, and then hit him with a big stick the next moment!

Chen Hong was startled: "Are you okay, Ge?"

Chen Kaige waved his hands quickly: "It's okay, it's okay."

"Hong, I feel a little unwell. Can I not go to the celebration banquet at Huguang Guild Hall today?"

Han Saping wanted to curse when he received a call from Chen Hong.

He was already very upset, and the first day box office of "Love Is Not Blind" caused the five major cinema chains to collectively turn against it.

Except for China Film Star Cinema, which still insists on giving the screening rate of "Mei Lanfang" the first place, other cinema chains don't care about your life or death.

"If Lao Chen doesn't show up, what are we going to do?"

Han Sanping is more wronged than Dou E. Last time, when you two were filming “The Promise”, Chen Hong disappeared at the very end, and it was all thanks to Chen Kaige that you managed to hold on to the end.

This time, both you and your wife simply didn't show up, leaving me, Han, to perform the solo show.

Should I just say to the media and people from all walks of life present: "Congratulations to Mei Lanfang for being shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival. That's it. Adjourn the meeting!"

Han Sanping got a headache just thinking about it and secretly swore in his heart that he would never fall for the third time at the hands of Lao Chen, the pretentious guy.

Chen Kaige and his wife could not resist Han Sanping and showed up at Huguang Guild Hall that day.
