Chapter 347: Xingzai Enters the Pit
Christmas Eve is Li Chen’s birthday, and also the two most popular days of the Lunar New Year holiday season.

"Wolf Tooth" was a heavy blow to Wu Jing.

The first-day box office in mainland China was only a few million, and less than 20 in Hong Kong Island.

Became cannon fodder in "Love is Not Blind" and "If You Are the One".

Before the filming of "Wolf Tooth" started, it was reported that the real bullet joked that Wu Jing had no representative works.

Now that "Wolf Tooth" has flopped, Wu Jing is in disgrace, and Zhendanzi has just added salt to the matter.

"There are martial arts champions everywhere, but not everyone can become a superstar."

Wu Jing swallowed his anger and found the director Chen Musheng who had always supported him.

"Director Chen, what the real bullet said really came true. I am indeed a hopeless person."

After saying this, Wu Jing felt mixed emotions.

What he lost was not a movie, but the key to open the door to becoming a director.

Chen Musheng patted Wu Jing on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. No one can achieve success overnight. Bullet has made so many films over the years. Which one made the investors make money?"

"Besides, you also encountered the movie Love Is Not Blind. No one expected this dark horse to emerge. Didn't even Feng Xiaogang lose to it?"

Wu Jing smiled bitterly.

Chen Musheng said earnestly: "Listen to me, go back to the mainland. The future of Chinese-language films must be in the mainland."

Liu Yifei greeted them early.

The stars of Rongchen Pictures came to Li Chen's house to celebrate Christmas Eve for various reasons.

Li Chen has been receiving a steady stream of blessing messages since morning.

Miss Liu who was far away in Los Angeles also called and said: Happy birthday.

"What are you happy about? Are these people you found here to show off your love or to celebrate my birthday?" Li Chen said with a smile.

Sitting at the long table were Zhou Xun and Da Qi, Tang Yan and Luo Jin, Zhang Manyu and her young foreign boyfriend, as well as Yang Mi and Hu Ge.

Of course, there are also Yang Siwei, Zhu Yawen and others.

Yang Mi, who had not been seen for a long time, unexpectedly appeared with Hu Ge, which surprised and relieved Li Chen.

Fortunately, Deng Chao was not there, otherwise Sun Li would definitely be there. If you didn’t know, you would have thought it was the scene of the variety show “Let’s Date”!
Miss Liu snorted: "They kindly invited you to come here to have some fun, but you don't even appreciate it!"

"Please, it's not enough to see them normally, I can't think about Jingjing during my birthday!"

Yang Siwei laughed loudly into the microphone, "Boss doesn't miss Jingjing, Boss misses Xixi. Madam Boss, please fly back soon. All of us are not as good as you!"

Yang Mi and others also followed suit.

Li Chen walked aside with the phone.

"Did you hear the people's cry? Come back quickly, or Director Li will have an affair!"

Miss Liu laughed and said, "You dare! I will be back at the end of the month. It just so happens that the crew is back in China to shoot, and there is also the last rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala, as well as various commercials."

Miss Liu began to mutter.

She was basically like a clockwork robot during the Spring Festival, and was busy even when she came back.

The cover of the February issue of "VOGUE" will completely subvert her innocent image on the screen.

"If You Are the One" barely made over 100 million yuan in its first week.

"Mei Lanfang" was completely unsuccessful, and its box office just barely exceeded 100 million.

In this life, although Li Chen verbally supported Mei Lanfang, he also released the dark horse Yang Siwei to trample Chen and Feng on his horse.

"Wolf Tooth" was even worse. It was collectively abandoned by all major theaters just four days after its release. The box office just exceeded 300 million, and the box office in Hong Kong Island totaled just over 400 million.

This time, Wu Jing will have to remain silent for at least a few years.

I just don’t know if Wu Jing will come to visit when “Wolf Warrior” is released.

Through "Soldier Assault", which had no help at the beginning, he made a name for himself in the industry as someone who likes to support military themes.

If Wu Jing is someone who is interested, he will naturally take the bait.

"Ge, put down the painting." Chen Hong didn't want to see such a situation, and she didn't want to say such cruel words to her Ge.

But we have to say that the dignity of a big director cannot be compromised. If the box office revenue is less than 20 a day, there is no point in continuing to make money.

For some reason, Chen Hong said "Amitabha" in her heart when she was able to make over 100 million.

Since when did it become a fluke that my delayed movie grossed over 100 million yuan?

"Then go ahead. Hong, am I getting old?"

"You are not old. Among art films, our "Mei Lanfang" is the third film with a box office of over 7 million yuan. It's all my fault for neglecting the promotional photos." Due to the influence of Zhang Guanli Dai, the score of "Mei Lanfang" on Douban fell below points.

This made Chen Kaige start to have wild thoughts.

The failure of "The Promise" is because you don't know how to appreciate it.

"Mei Lanfang" is not as good as "Love is Not Blind" and "If You Are the One". Who the hell can I complain to?

Chen Kaige was so depressed that he vomited blood.

But the Huayi brothers have found a treasure.

News suddenly spread on the Internet that Stephen Chow was going to film Journey to the West.

Moreover, according to reports from foreign websites, the Taiwan film producer who originally had a stake in the film backed out when he learned that Stephen Chow did not want to "repeat his old tricks" and play the Monkey King but wanted to play Tang Monk instead.

Wang Zhonglei secretly cursed those people in Baodao for being such idiots. Why didn’t they invest in Stephen Chow’s movie?
What do you care what role he plays? As long as your name is Zhou Xingchi, I, Wang Zhonglei, will follow you even if I have to cut off my own kidney.

Wang Zhonglei was quick to contact Zhou Xingxing himself.

"Don't even mention you want to play Tang Monk. I'll vote even if you play Zhu Bajie!"

Stephen Chow was very happy, thinking he had met a soulmate, and admitted that he might not play the leading role this time.

Wang Zhonglei still did not hesitate.

"Haha, I, Wang Zhonglei, recognize Master Xing's name. I don't care about other things. I'm only responsible for paying the money!"

Wang Zhonglei was so understanding that the two sides hit it off immediately.

Don’t you know that the two sides are brought together by money and separated by money?

If Zhou Xingxing had known that these two brothers would cheat him of 8000 million in the future, he would have sold everything he had to finance the project himself.

The news that Liu Yifei will be performing on the Spring Festival Gala was posted on the portal website, and the media efficiency was very high.

The news was soon confirmed.

The news of "The Founding of a Republic" suddenly broke out at the end of 08.

China Film Report
"The film "The Founding of a Republic", a tribute to the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China invested by China Film Group, will start shooting in February next year."

"It is reported that the film is full of big names, and two directors, Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang, may play the patriotic general Feng Yuxiang and the old gangster boss Du Yuesheng."

"The billionaire actress Zhou Xun will play Fu Dongju, the eldest daughter of the famous patriotic anti-Japanese general Fu Zuoyi and an underground secret party member."

"The script was written by Li Chen, the top screenwriter in China and a Hollywood gold medalist, and the director was Han Sanping, the CEO of China Film Group Corporation, who had not directed for 18 years."

As soon as the news came out, all the smart artists in the circle knew the special significance of this drama.

What's more, the General Administration has already stated that before October next year, major satellite TV stations and local TV stations can only broadcast mainstream TV dramas during prime time.

There were also rumors in the circle that Zhang Guoli took the lead in asking all stars to perform for free, and he himself set an example.

More and more versions were circulated, and some said that it was Han Sanye who spoke.

If the artists don’t get on with the right track now, they are not worthy of being in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, zero pay became the key word.

By the end of the month, the box office of "Love Is Not Blind" exceeded 33 million, and the daily box office was around 3.5 million.

"If You Are the One" also earned 2.4 million yuan, with daily box office fluctuating around 450 million yuan.

But Feng Xiaogang's bold words at the Golden Horse Awards with Li Chen and Yang Siwei became a topic of conversation among netizens.

"Xiaogang is old and has blurry eyes. He mistook Yang Siwei for Chen Kaige. Mei Lanfang's album has indeed exceeded 100 million yuan."

"Director Feng did his best to get Yang Siwei into the 3 million club, but he himself is still on the outside. He is truly a man of high moral character."

“The Yangtze River’s back waves push the front waves forward. The future comedy will be Xu Zheng’s, Yang Siwei’s, someone’s, and maybe Ning Hao’s, but never Feng Kuzi’s.”

Huayi seems to be very receptive to advice, and Feng Xiaogang is also very good at keeping up with current affairs.

After Jitaro expressed his desire to make a film about earthquakes, Xiao Gangpao also officially announced that his next film would be a film related to earthquakes.

Warner began to warm up for Zhou Xun's new album "Angel in the Devil".

Because of Li Chen and the hot sales of "Twenty One Fei", the industry is paying attention to whether Li Chen can continue to create myths.

It made Zhou Xun, who had been away from the music scene for a long time, become popular again.

At the same time, Zhang Manyu also completed the recording of the single.

It was just that the advice from her good friend Liu Dehua was unpleasant to her ears, and she didn't listen at all.
