Chapter 353 Provocation
The major Spring Festival Galas during the Spring Festival have become Xiao Shenyang’s performance tour.
It is said that his worth has skyrocketed twenty times, from 5000 yuan per show to 10 yuan per show.
After participating in the Spring Festival Gala, Ms. Liu immediately joined the crew of "Inception" in Beijing to shoot the Chinese scenes.
Li Chen told her about the "Dream of Splendor" project.
"Co-produced with my Red Star House?" Miss Liu said with a smile.
This is not difficult to understand, as all the shares of Red Star House are now in the hands of mother and daughter.
It is understandable that my boyfriend takes care of his own company.
But why do we have to make a TV series again?
Li Chen didn't explain too much to her: "One film every two years. We don't need to shoot more, but we can't stop shooting."
"Movies can help you go abroad, but TV dramas are your base in China."
"Tian Long and The Condor Heroes are just appetizers. This Dream of Splendor will become the pioneer of ancient idol dramas in China."
"Perhaps in the future, your salary for filming a TV series will be hundreds or even thousands of times higher than your salary for 'Tian Long'."
Miss Liu smiled in disbelief and said, "Isn't that too exaggerated?"
Li Chen knew that no matter how much he told Miss Liu at this moment, she would not believe it.
A drama by a certain Shuang earned 1.6 million yuan. No one can imagine it now.
Wu Bin's "The Lost Tomb" continues filming.
According to Li Chen's request, after filming, it will be divided into two parts, just like "Red Cliff".
The upper part mainly focuses on the exploration of Niuxin Mountain, while the lower part focuses on the Jingjue Ancient City.
The total time for the two parts is controlled within 240 minutes.
Wu Bin naturally had no objection, and after the filming, Li Chen took Wu Bin to Hollywood to complete the post-production special effects.
During the Spring Festival, "Ip Man 2" was released in North America and opened at the box office of 525 million.
The box office in mainland China also reached 2.2 million yuan, and the final box office is estimated to be around 2.3 million yuan.
"Red Cliff Part Two" also had a box office of 2.5 million yuan, and the box office should reach 2.7 million yuan when it is released next.
It still hasn’t exceeded 300 million. Li Chen remembered that in his previous life, both the upper and lower parts barely exceeded 300 million.
Being sniped by Li Chen in this life, Wu Yusen's comeback was considered a failure.
But the movie was a huge hit at the Japanese box office, and among all the investors, Orange Sky was probably the only one that lost money.
Oriental Morning Post
"After participating in the Spring Festival Gala, Liu Yifei immediately joined the crew of Inception."
"It is reported that Inception will be filmed in the United States, France, Spain and other European and American countries in addition to being filmed in China."
"Billionaire director Christopher Nolan said that Inception will be completed in April and will be released next year."
"He also revealed that he had made a bet with Director Li Chen before, and that he would work for Director Li Chen for free in the future."
Sina Entertainment News
"Reprinted from The Hollywood Daily Reporter, Chiyou Pictures announced its 09 film slate, which attracted attention from all parties in Hollywood."
"In addition to the previously rumored The Conjuring 2, Twilight 2 and The Hunger Games, both adapted from best-selling novels, are also favored by many film and television companies."
When the news got back to China, the bosses of film and television companies in the industry had an uncomfortable Spring Festival.
"Twilight" has grossed $3.5 million worldwide.
It's so perverted that it's unbelievable.
With the foundation of the first part, the second part should not be bad either.
After the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, Zhou Xun’s new album was launched.
Chen Jianshun was overjoyed with the great sales in Beijing on the first day.
"The Voice of China" also began its nationwide auditions in full swing.
Yang Mi was eagerly waiting, staring at her company's film schedule for this year.
Fan Qiaoqiao quietly got in touch with Oliver Stone, a great American director who won the Oscar for Best Director twice.
The two of them appeared together on the cover of the February issue of "iLOOK World City" magazine.
Zhang Ziyi was not willing to be lonely and spent her 30th birthday in the Berlin Film Palace.
In the past two years, two major rumors have made headlines on portal websites every now and then.
One is that Ziyi is getting married, and the other is that Jialing is pregnant.
Only Li Chen knew that these two lines were like floating clouds in the sky, visible but not tangible.
The actors are still working during the Spring Festival, and the directors are not idle either.
Especially the directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, who all made their debuts and took what they needed.
I'm afraid no one expected that an out-of-date young director from Hong Kong would trigger the first chaos between the mainland entertainment and Hong Kong circles.
Chen Kexin is very smart, so even if there is a sterile person, it does not affect his positive attitude.
Before the end of the year, I went north and established a film production studio with Huang Jianxin.
And formed with Bona: Renren Film Company.
It is claimed that 3 films will be completed within three years, with the total box office exceeding 15 billion.
The first film to start shooting was "The Siege of the City in October", which was prepared by Hong Kong director Chan Tak-sum for ten years!
The most important thing is that we signed a strategic alliance with China Film Group.
Han Sanping also invited Li Chen to join this strategic alliance on behalf of Tong Gang.
However, Li Chen declined.
Li Chen understood Han Sanping. Sitting in his position, sometimes he felt like a central air conditioner and no one could be left out.
Among all the Hong Kong and Taiwan directors, Chen Kexin is the most intelligent one.
He is not a director who only thinks about making movies.
The King of Sunglasses also set off for Beijing to promote his "A Chinese Odyssey: Part Two: Ultimate Edition"!
Wu Yusen and Xu Laoguai also began to plan "The Crossing" and "Detective Dee", and Wu Yusen still brought Han Sanding along.
The leading actors are confirmed to be Song Hye-kyo and Zhang Zhen.
The big guys focus on their careers, while the small guys just try to attract attention.
The portal website reprinted a piece of news from Hong Kong media that sounded like the Sarajevo incident.
This triggered the first melee in the entertainment industry.
"Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment programs vilified mainland stars and exposed the human chair. Director Ma Weihao revealed that mainland female stars got close to directors in order to become famous."
"When will mainland female stars not use the "Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" human chair to point the finger at mainland female stars?"
For a long time, Hong Kong and Taiwan variety entertainment programs such as "Kangxi Comes Here", "Star Alumni Association", and "Spicy Queen Palace" have been popular.
They all have a very high opinion of themselves. Recently, they have been making revelations through the mouths of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, vilifying and criticizing mainland artists.
Especially this Ma Weihao, and Cheng Ming from Formosa, I really don't know if they watched too many stupid movies. They said that every time he went to work in the mainland, some girls who graduated from film schools would call him.
What do I want to talk to you about? Just tell me.
Maybe they just want to say hello to your parents.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused indignation among mainland netizens and many people in the circle.
Netizens cursed: If you have the ability, don’t come to the mainland to make money, as if Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are so clean.
Industry insiders called for the establishment of an artist association in the mainland to protect rights.
But when reporters interviewed these mainland celebrities and people in the circle, they all became speechless.
Yang Siwei called Li Chen immediately.
At this time, Rongchen Pictures will definitely be the focus of reporters' attention.
Fan Qiaoqiao, Zhang Ziyi, Xiaoyanzi and other first-line actresses are all like quails.
Afraid of being identified with the person.
In fact, Fan Qiaoqiao had already been identified as one of the culprits, and Jiang Qinqin was not spared either.
Even Zhang Ziyi's early grape incident was brought up again.
Yang Mi, on the other hand, is fearless and acts like a big sister heroine in the QQ group.
As long as the company lets her speak, she dares to poke a hole in the sky.
"Boss, something is wrong here. Is Ma Weihao sick, or is he just someone else's gun?"
"Just marry your stewardess and that's all. Why are you jumping out to step on mainland actresses?"
Li Chen didn't say anything. Several people had called him during this time.
Unknowingly, Li Chen became the leader of domestic entertainment.
Li Chen hesitated for a moment before saying, "If reporters ask about Zhou Xun, Mimi and the others."
"Let them have no scruples and tell them one thing."
"You can say whatever you want, as long as they personally attack Director Ma and Miss Chen."
“No matter how big the problem is, the company will take care of it for them.”
"Also, you should also take some action and investigate these two people. I don't believe that Director Ma can avoid revealing his true colors!"
Yang Siwei found it funny: "I see, boss, don't worry, I dare not say anything else."
"Check people, we are the ancestors."
Yang Mi got the imperial sword.
The mainland reporters were filled with indignation, as if they were disgusted.
The most hateful thing is that the mainland actresses involved are all so disappointing.
A group of reporters placed their last hope on several female artists from Rongchen Pictures.
Yang Mi couldn't wait any longer and was not at all panicked when she was surrounded by microphones during the event.
"Yang Mi, what do you think of Ma and Chen's recent criticism of the low quality of mainland female stars?"
"Have you ever been sexually exploited?"
Reporters rushed to ask questions.
Yang Mi smiled faintly and said, "I have never been to Hong Kong Island to film Director Ma's drama, so I have never had the opportunity to be exploited."
"I don't know this Director Ma, or that Ms. Chen either. Forgive me for being young and speaking without thinking, but I really can't imagine who the mainland actress Director Ma is talking about is."
"What did she like about Director Ma? Was it because his box office revenue was only around 100 million yuan? Or was it because he was old?"
The reporters' eyes widened. They wouldn't be so surprised if aliens landed on Earth.
Yang Mi is so bold.
"Yang Mi, are you speaking on behalf of yourself or Rongchen Pictures?"
Yang Mi smiled and said, "My boss is very open-minded and believes in freedom of speech."
After the event, Yang Mi immediately sent a text message to Li Chen.
"Senior, I'm going to say it now. You have to keep your word and cover for me! Otherwise, I'll be ready to die!"
Yang Mi thought that most of the seniors would be the same as before and would probably not reply.
But this time it was an exception. He replied almost immediately: Don’t worry!
Zeng Jia was also very happy. The user-created feature increased the number of hits on Yang Mi's blog by tens of thousands in just half an hour.
The bees were celebrating.
Yang Mi's words immediately appeared on major websites with the title "Rongchen Films' young actress Yang Mi questions the authenticity of the revelations made by Ma Chen and others, and speaks up for mainland female stars."
It is no secret that Yang Mi will become famous sooner or later, as Yang Mi herself is a hot topic.
As long as she is given some sunshine, she will shine.
Netizens were delighted.
"As expected of an artist under Leo, he has Leo's style!"
"This poisonous tongue is inherited from the same lineage. Little East Evil is so lovable!"
At the same time, the reporter also called Tang Yan and Zhou Xun.
Although the two were not as fierce as Yang Mi, they also made their attitudes clear.
Tang Yan said more gently: "If there is such a person, you should name him. You are evasive and have no good intentions.
Zhou Xun rarely said something serious: "Not even as good as Zhuo Wei!"
The number one paparazzi Zhuo Wei is very good at handling things: At least I dare to name and expose the person by name!
The reporters continued to work hard, but the big boss Li Chen hadn't spoken yet.
Unfortunately, they didn’t have Li Chen’s phone number, and Li Chen himself didn’t show up often.
Fan Qiaoqiao didn't expect that Yang Mi's bold words would be met with applause from the Internet.
Military strategist Mu Xiaoguang made a prompt decision: "Qiao Qiao, at a time like this, we cannot remain silent!"
Fan Qiaoqiao nodded vigorously, then stood up, exhausted both physically and mentally.
"I just don't want to open the computer. The rumors make me feel like I'm being stabbed by thousands of arrows."
“The Internet is like an ugly monster. You never know when it will pounce on you and bite you hard.”
Because she had acted in the director Ma's film "The Lion Roars", Fan Qiaoqiao did not put too much effort into it.
Ma Weihao didn't expect that he would be scolded by name by several artists from Rongchen Pictures just because he felt good about talking big.
Don’t I, Old Ma, have any friends?
Fan Qiaoqiao was willing to be in his drama "The Lion Roars" even though his role was only one or two minutes.
Fan Qiaoqiao was also happy with it. Now that he had become successful, he had forgotten how humble he was in front of him!
