Chapter 376 Big Data Must Also Be Conferred

Since entering the film and television industry, Chen Sicheng never thought of just being an actor.

He is not Mr. Lou, and he doesn't want to compete with his father.

I even look down upon Mr. Lou's willful behavior.

After being expelled from the Shanghai Theatre Academy for fighting, he finally got into the Central Academy of Drama with the first place in his major.

Later, he became well-known to the public because of "Soldier Assault".

He understood one truth deeply.

Smart people know how to adapt to the environment and go with the flow.

The domestic film environment cannot tolerate people like Mr. Lou who jump around so much.

What's the point of going through so much trouble to raise funds from abroad and then spending so much effort to make a movie but none of it can be released normally in China?

His goal is to become an upstart king like Li Chen.

Who says grassroots can’t be king? Director Li in front of us is not only the king, but also the overlord.

Zhang Yi joined Yi Xin Media as an actor, but he wanted to follow Xu Zheng's path of becoming a director after being a good actor.

Xu Zheng, Lu Yang and Ning Hao are the people he wants to emulate.

Just from every move since the establishment of Rongchen Pictures, it can be seen that Director Li is willing to support newcomers.

After "Soldier Assault" became popular, Huayi wanted to sign me, and Huace also wanted to sign me, but I didn't agree to either of them, just because I wanted to get rid of my single identity as an actor.

After returning empty-handed in Cannes, he knew he couldn't wait any longer.

"Director Kang, Si Cheng is here too. Please sit down." Li Chen stood up and strode towards the sofa.

"Hey, thank you Director Li." Chen Sicheng was wearing a black suit and white shirt, looking like an insurance salesman.

The secretary served tea to the group.

"If Ning Hao comes, ask him to wait for a while."

"Okay, Director Li."

When Kang Honglei heard this, he got straight to the point and said, "Director Li has something to do, so I'll just say it straight."

Chen Sicheng immediately sat up straight, looking as if asking the captain to inspect him.

"Si Cheng wants to become a director. When I was filming "The Regiment Leader" before, he helped me a lot. He basically did all the work of executive director by himself."

Li Chen glanced at Chen Sicheng, and Chen Sicheng nodded repeatedly.

"Do you want him to film "Special Warfare Pioneer"? " Li Chen immediately revealed the two's intentions.

Kang Honglei told him in March that he would not touch any war-themed works within the next ten years.

Therefore, there was no suitable person for the "Special Warfare Pioneer" or "Snow Leopard" project for a while.

Kang Honglei smiled and said, "Director Li has a keen eye. That's exactly what I meant. Si Cheng is very talented, and Director Li is a mentor in our circle. So, if Director Li is still not at ease, I can be his supervisor."

Li Chen looked at Chen Sicheng again, a little distracted.

Chen Sicheng immediately said as if he was issuing a military order: "Director Li, rest assured, I will definitely not let you down."

Li Chen laughed: "Sorry, I was distracted. Since Director Kang is willing to guarantee you, what else can I say?"

When Chen Sicheng heard Li Chen apologize, he felt disappointed.

But then I was ecstatic again.

Li Chen just thought of "Bridget Jones Love Story", but now Chen Sicheng and that stone man have no intersection, so this "Bridget Jones Love Story" may be stillborn.

Chen Sicheng didn't expect it to be so smooth. After receiving the famous diamond, he felt like his whole body was floating.

Although Director Li has already finalized several roles for the main characters, there is still a lot of room for the other supporting roles to operate.

Ning Hao and his wife came together.

Without the outsiders, Ning Hao sighed like a frost-bitten eggplant: "I should have listened to you at the beginning!"

Li Chen asked knowingly: "No Man's Land was rejected?"

Ning Hao nodded and didn't want to talk. Xing Aina said: "The key is that the revision opinions of the bureau are vague, and we don't know how to revise them."

"President Han just said something to blur the boundaries of the region, and he couldn't explain anything else."

Li Chen patted Ning Hao on the shoulder: "Did you bring the film?"

Xing Aina nodded and said, "Yes, Director Li, please give him some advice. Ning Hao is regretting it now. He should have listened to you and produced it in Hong Kong Island."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go to the screening room and watch it first." Li Chen pulled Ning Hao out of the office.

After watching the film, Xing Aina and Ning Hao couldn't wait to ask, "How was it? How was it?"

Li Chen sat in the middle of the conference table and said with a smile: "Human nature is evil indeed. The movie is indeed a good movie, but..." Before Li Chen finished speaking, Ning Hao was anxious: "But what?"

Li Chen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your film talks about human nature, but China is a society based on human relationships, and the people who make the final decision are often not professionals."

Ning Hao was confused and didn't understand.

Xing Aina understood a little: "Director Li, do you mean that the rejection may not just be due to the opinion of the bureau?"

Li Chen did not answer this question directly, but gave some incisive suggestions for revision.

"This year's significance is special. The main theme is the theme. And then there was that incident at your filming location. No matter what the reason is, don't even think about releasing the film this year?"

Ning Hao panicked: "But Director Han said to submit the changes as soon as possible and he will find a solution."

Xing Aina pulled Ning Hao and signaled him not to interrupt: "Director Li, please continue."

Xing Aina didn't know that Li Chen had strong connections and many influences. He had dealt with leaders of the Propaganda Department and other departments when filming "Father's Love is Like a Mountain".

"Director Han? Even Director Tong cannot ignore the overall situation."

"So, what about this year?"

"This year? I'm afraid it won't be easy. All the characters in your movie are villains, and the ending is not positive. The most positive police officer is actually stupid and incompetent."

"Think about it, movies can be spread all over the world through the Internet."

At this point, the couple felt very disappointed. They looked at each other and said, "So what do you mean?"

Before Ning Hao could finish, Li Chen interrupted him and said, "What I mean is that it is still possible to release the film if we change the ending and the characters."

"Impossible!" Ning Hao stood up excitedly.

"Why are you so excited? Sit down and listen to Director Li." Xing Aina forced Ning Hao to sit down.

Seeing Ning Hao's throbbing expression, Li Chen didn't want to waste any more words.

"This is just my personal advice. It's up to you whether you listen to it or not."

Ning Hao thought Li Chen was angry, so his tone softened again: "That's not what I meant, but you don't know how much hardship and effort I put in to make this movie."

"Let's not talk about me. Guo Tao lost 10 pounds. Yu Nan almost had an accident during a scene where he was buried alive. I... I..."

Ning Hao couldn't continue.

Li Chen was helpless and patted Ning Hao on the shoulder: "Why don't you give it a try? Maybe Mr. Han has a solution."

After seeing Ning Hao and his wife off, Li Chen met with Gu Yongkeng again.

Youku’s fifth round of financing is about to begin.

What Li Chen did not expect was that one of the two kings, Old Wang, was about to retire.

Wang Changtian had good reasons to exit: he could no longer sustain the funds.

Guangguang Babu also needs funds, and Youku is a bottomless pit, and not a single cent of money has been returned.

Most importantly, potatoes are ahead of the curve.

Wang Changtian decided to withdraw based on a series of factors.

What was even more surprising was that he found a buyer, Jack Ma. To be more precise, it was Jack Ma, who had wanted to enter the market for a long time, who found him.

Jack Ma prides himself on being a man of clear mind and steady, accurate and ruthless moves.

Among the three founders of Han Tang Fund, only Guangxian is the weakest.

The financial tsunami caused Alibaba’s stock price to plummet to the bottom.

But Jack Ma still ranks 80th on the Hurun list with 88 billion.

Since Li Chen's company is not listed, it is impossible to count the losses, but it has been rumored in the circle that he has lost tens of billions, which seems to be true.

Netizens speculated that Li Chen’s wealth had shrunk significantly and he could not even make it onto the Hurun Rich List.

But the financial tsunami had no effect on Big Boss Wang. His wealth almost doubled compared to 08, reaching a terrifying 285 billion, firmly ranking among the top ten.

Li Chen informed Big Boss Wang about the situation, and Big Boss Wang said domineeringly: "Since he wants to withdraw, our two families can definitely take it over. If you have any difficulties, I will take it over."

"I believe in your vision, Li Chen. I don't believe anything these Internet people say about big data."

"I told you guys not to tell me so much. If you had Li Chen who never lost, I would vote."

Li Chen felt amused in his heart. Boss Wang was really straightforward.

This is not a vision at all, he has a God's perspective, and even big data has to give in!
However, Jack Ma's joining is indeed beneficial to him.

Everyone says that Jack Ma swallowed up Youku, but Gu Yongkeng also cashed out a large sum of money and left to enjoy life.

A true winner in life.
