Chapter 374: Persimmons are too weak to be pinched
A music variety show "The Voice of China" became popular overnight across the country, and even people from the film and television industry at the Shanghai International Film Festival took notice.

Although Feng Xiaogang wanted to laugh at Li Chen's jokes, he often couldn't laugh.

Not only that, but I have to send my blessings against my will.

For this Shanghai Film Festival, except for Li Chen, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, all the big directors who could go went, and even those who couldn't go did not miss out.

Everyone expressed their opinions. Jiang Wen talked about his "The Sun" and the upcoming "Let the Bullets Fly", and Feng Xiaogang talked about celebrities acting like big shots.

This is all considered normal performance, except that Mr. Lou’s classmate Wang Xiaolu did not play by the rules.

Without any warning, he attacked Ning Hao and Xu Zheng, two newly-crowned commercial directors.

To be honest, as film directors, they all failed!
Wang Xiaolu said that as a film creator, one should have his own persistence. However, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, Wei Desheng and others all pursued box office.

Thinking about how to please the audience from the very beginning of creation is a failure as a director.

Even the host Zhang Guoli was stunned.

Ning Hao was full of joy to bring the two leading actors, Guo Tao and Yu Nan, to the Shanghai Film Festival.

To support "No Man's Land" which will be released in theaters nationwide in November.

As a result, he got drunk on the Jinjue forum and didn't react at all when Wang Xiao criticized him.

Instead, Xu Zheng hit back at Wang Xiaolu on the spot and did not tolerate him at all.

He and Ning Hao are both considered to be great commercial film directors of Li Chen's school.

If both of them keep silent, who knows what the media will write.

The media naturally did not mind making a big deal and reported the incident the next day.

"Yesterday, Ning Hao, a new generation of commercial film director, pointed out at the Golden Goblet Forum that the golden age of Chinese films will attract overseas creators."

“This is a potential crisis for Chinese filmmakers who are not yet prepared.”

"Directors Lu Chuan, Wang Xiaolu, Xu Zheng and the famous domestic distributor Yu Dong expressed their opinions on "how Chinese filmmakers can improve their own level". Wang Xiaolu and Xu Zheng almost had a fight."

Once the news was revealed, it immediately spread online.

Many netizens laughed at Wang Xiao for picking on the weak and asking, "Why don't you criticize Li Chen, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and others?"

Hong Kong Island's best physical fire-reducing expert, Liang Kun, who has just turned director, also stood up to refute Wang Xiaolu: People go to the cinema to have fun and relax, not to listen to you talk about feelings.

Ning Hao called Li Chen the next day after he sobered up.

"Did this bastard do it on purpose? Fortunately Xu Zheng didn't drink much. Does he have to be as unlucky as him to be a director?"

"I was drunk yesterday, otherwise I would have slapped you in the face!"

Li Chen chuckled and said, "Don't pay attention to him. He can't see the general situation and will be eliminated sooner or later."

Li Chen remembers that one year Wang Xiaolu promoted his movie "So Long, My Son" on WeChat Moments, and was dissed for disrespecting women and became a hot topic.

Avatar is about to arrive, and you’re still acting like a literary youth.

Ning Hao laughed and said, "I'm afraid this guy hasn't experienced the miserable life I went through in those few years. Even Boss Yu didn't stand on his side yesterday, but he still kept reveling in himself."

Li Chen also paid attention to the news online. Ning Hao praised Yu Nan a lot at the film festival, talking about how sexy Yu Nan was and how confident he was.

Li Chen was very curious and suddenly asked, "Yu Nan is so sexy, didn't your wife loosen your bones for you?"

As soon as this was mentioned, the phone went silent!

After several seconds, Ning Hao sighed: "I spoke out of turn after drinking. I accidentally told the truth!"

"As a result, my husband tortured her soul for a whole night, insisting on finding out who is more sexy, Yu Nan or her? I almost drooled before I could get away with it."

Li Chen laughed and said, "You deserve it! I won't talk to you anymore. Let's talk about it when we get back to Beijing. That's it for now."

Someone on the Internet revealed that the Kung Fu Emperor, like the Gong Emperor, had joined the new nationality.

His agent was chased by the media and was in a panic. He repeatedly said that he was not aware of the matter.

Li Chen also invested in the movie "Ocean Paradise" in which he starred, and was also asked by the media how he viewed this matter.

It's his fiancée who became a positive example.

Li Chen could only play Tai Chi with the media, responding that it was someone else's private matter, he didn't know and would not comment.

What netizens are more concerned about is a fund. Since it is a foreigner, can it still raise funds in the mainland?

As soon as "The Voice of China" was broadcast, the audition scene for "Charlotte" was filmed very easily.

"I didn't expect to play myself in your play." On the set of "Charlotte", Zhou Jie Lun came over and spoke to Li Chen in a familiar manner.

After getting to know him, he found that Li Chen was not as difficult to deal with as rumored by the outside world, but his sharp tongue was indeed worthy of his reputation.

Zhou Jie Lun was often teased by him.

"No one else would dare to ask you to act!" Li Chen said with a smile.

Zhou Jie Lun immediately retorted, "What's the point of comparing your acting skills with a singer like me?"

“What should I do? Should I compete with you in singing?” Zhou Jie Lun put his hands in his pockets and smiled, “That’s what I thought!”

Li Chen also laughed and said, "Actually, we are quite similar, but you are more stubborn than me."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, as long as I don't sing and you don't act, it's all good deeds."

Zhou Jie Lun pointed at Li Chen and laughed.

Zheng Xiuwen, who was standing by, also laughed out loud: "Director Li, what about me? When will you have the chance to give me some guidance on my acting skills?"

Li Chen nodded: "There will be a chance."

"Then I'll take it seriously." Zheng Xiuwen said.

She really envied Hua Zi for having Li Chen's clout.

Not only investing in his half-dead Yingyi Entertainment.

I also wrote a song for him called "People from Our Village" as the interlude of this movie.

Hong Kong media conducted a survey and found that Li Chen is the mainland director that Hong Kong female artists most want to work with, no doubt about it.

The ranking is still ahead of Zhang Yimou.

Unfortunately, Li Chen is an arrogant person and doesn't even give face to his partner Ying Huang.

There was even a rumor in the circle some time ago that Huo Wenxi wanted to use Yang Siwei to help A Jiao make a comeback.

As a result, he was directly blocked by the other party with just one sentence, and Zhang Baizhi was also affected.

It is said that the original words were spoken by Li Chen.

Now Zhang Baizhi says on the surface that she is not in a hurry to make a comeback, but everyone in the circle knows that she can't wait any longer.

It had been rumored that she had asked for a high price of HK$600 million to star in the new film "The Swordsman" directed by Er Dongsheng. Later, it was rumored that her salary was reduced to HK$100 million but she still failed.

Recently, Hong Kong magazine "FACE" reported that she was willing to reduce her price to 80 Hong Kong dollars, a 1.5% discount, to take the role in Pang Ho-cheung's new film as her comeback work.

A pay of 80 Hong Kong dollars is just above the second-tier level in mainland China.

Zhang Li's "The Right Path in the World" will be aired on CCTV-1 this month. Netizens jokingly said that it avoided "The Captain" and "The Disguiser". Some netizens even mocked that it was too ironic for such a mediocre person to film "The Right Path".

"Terminator 4" finally broke the 2 million mark before the release of "Transformers ", which can be considered a successful retirement.

As soon as "Transformers 2" was released, it immediately lit up the midnight show, and every show was sold out, and tickets were hard to come by.

Even with its poor reputation in North America and a barrage of negative reviews from the media.

The first-day box office in mainland China still grossed 3371 million yuan, including 350 million yuan for the midnight show, which was extremely impressive.

The historical record of 2850 million on the first day of "Draw the Bow" also became history.

It's a coincidence, I don't know if it's a coincidence.

Cameron brought his $3 million sci-fi epic "Avatar" to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and released a 24-minute trailer.

I'm afraid that no one in China who is obsessed with "Transformers 2" at the moment would have thought that compared with "Avatar", "Transformers 2" is not even a younger brother.

At the end of the month, Yang Mi's "Xian San" premiered on the local TV station in Taizhou, Hubei.

There is no way. In special years, satellite TV stations only broadcast the main melody.

Mainstream websites including the three major portals kept a low profile on the premiere of "Xian III".

But even so, "Xian III" became popular.

The audio and video products were sold out before they were even aired.

Yang Mi shares her promotional photos of traveling with the crew of "The Legend of Immortal III" in Hubei in the QQ group every day.

Although Cai Yinong tried his best to issue press releases for his artist Liu Shishi.

But Yang Siwei is no pushover, and Yang Mi herself is a hot topic.

Yang Siwei has packaged a series of titles such as "the youngest star girl", "Beijing Film Academy academic master", "spokesperson for mainland female stars", "Four Little Flowers" and so on in various ways.

After one round, Cai Yinong was exhausted both physically and mentally, and had a hard time expressing his suffering.

With its own platform, "Xian San" only became a big hit to the power of 'three!'

Could it be fate?

Even so, Cai Yinong still had to pretend to be confident and comfort Liu Shishi.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy is a huge hit, but Ning Hao, the director of No Man's Land, is feeling disappointed at the moment.

When Ning Hao learned that "No Man's Land" was rejected in the first instance, he could not believe his ears.

He didn't even hear what Han Sanping said next. Only Li Chen's harsh but honest advice echoed in his mind.
