Chapter 386: Four Hundred Million Compatriots, So What?
It is no exaggeration to say that the premiere of "The Founding of a Republic" was unprecedented.

In the past, Sina always live-broadcasted the premiere with text and pictures, but this time, to show its importance, it made a groundbreaking move to live-broadcast the premiere with video.

Han Sanping's energy was brought to the extreme.

It is no exaggeration to say that even pirates have to temporarily hide their attention and start the National Day holiday in advance.

It is said that the anti-piracy action of "The Founding of a Republic" was strongly supported not only by the National Office against Pornography and Illegal Publications and the General Administration of Press and Publication.

It is also protected by more than 200 notary agencies, more than 500 law firms and more than 900 long-term cooperative lawyers across the country.

The Olympic Center is destined to be full of stars tonight.

Except for the Zhang brothers from New Picture, the big names in the film and television circles from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong have never been so gathered together.

At this time, it would be difficult for Li Chen to arrive on time.

Deng Chao plays Xu Beihong and Zhu Yawen plays the old soldier who salutes the Chairman during the military parade.

It’s Liu Ye’s role.

Except for Liu Yifei's Fu Dongju, the other female artists are either reporters or announcers.

In a word, participation is what matters.

Zhou Xun, Yang Mi and others arrived early.

The venue was already bustling with people and many big names gathered.

Chenglong, Han Sanping, Wu Yusen, Zhang Guoli, Chen Daoming, Liang Jiahui and so on.

"Senior hasn't arrived yet. It's not good for you to be late today, right?"

"No, Director Li wouldn't be so inconsiderate. Coming!" Zhou Xun pointed to the door, and several artists from Rongchen Pictures turned their heads to look at the door.

Li Chen was wearing a well-tailored black suit, even his shirt was black.

With his iconic buzz cut, thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, his whole body exudes a hint of mystery.

Liu Yifei wore a white deep V gauze dress, which greatly changed her temperament. She looked ethereal and very feminine.

A white bow belt is worn around the waist, and the colorful light stripes highlight a charming girlish feel.

As soon as the two appeared, they attracted everyone's attention.

Although Li Chen's appearance is not superior compared to many male stars in the field.

But he has a very good temperament. When he is with Liu Yifei, he is not at all inferior. Instead, he definitely surpasses his fiancée.

"Alas, there is a kind of man who looks ordinary at first glance, but the more you look at him, the more you can't help yourself. I'm talking about you, senior."

"Don't be such a fangirl, Mimi. Your idol still has Ting Feng. If he gets divorced one day, you'll have a chance."

"Go to hell, Xiaozhu, how can you be as pessimistic about my idol as my senior!"

Zhu Yawen chuckled and dodged Yang Mi who was about to hit her.

"It's not that I'm the same as Director Li, but that no one is the same as you."

Several people laughed when they heard it, and Yang Mi glared at Zhu Yawen fiercely.

She was the only one in the company who firmly believed that her idol would not get divorced.

Li Chen and Liu Yifei had not walked far when they were stopped by Gehong CP.

Han Sanping, who was at the front, glanced at Li Chen, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, thinking to himself: "You are a sensible boy."

Chen Hong held Mr. Ge's arm and smiled elegantly: "Yifei looks so beautiful today."

Liu Yifei glanced at her fiancée happily and said, "Thank you, Sister Hong."

Li Chen and Ge Hong CP laughed and said, "Sister Hong, please stop praising her. She is always beautiful."

Gehong CP chuckled.

Liu Yifei took Li Chen's arm and said, "Isn't what Sister Hong said wrong?"

Li Chen shook his head speechlessly.

Chen Kaige plays Liu Yifei's father in "The Founding of a Republic" and becomes more and more familiar with Liu Yifei.

Chen He was accepted by Li Chen into his "Dongjing Menghualu". Li Chen did not attend the Huabiao Award, so Mr. Ge stole the limelight alone.

Therefore, Chen Kaige's impression of Li Chen is steadily improving.

"Li Chen, long time no see."

"Yes, how is the preparation for Director Chen's "The Orphan of Zhao" going?"

The four of them exchanged a few words and then Gehong CP walked away.

Li Chen took Liu Yifei to greet the host family first.

Han Sanping is beaming with joy today, with Huang Jianxin, Zhang Guoli, Cheng Long and others standing beside him.

"The God of Gamblers and Yifei are here to say hello to us old guys." Chenglong wore a beige coat on the outside and a dark red Zhongshan suit underneath.

Li Chen laughed and said, "Brother, you are really good at joking. If Avatar doesn't have 10 billion, I will be embarrassed."

Chenglong laughed and said, "I'm optimistic about you. Yifei looks really beautiful today."

"Thank you, brother."

"Brother, please stop praising her. Sister Ganghong and Director Chen just praised her. If you keep praising her like this, I will get calluses on my ears tonight."

Liu Yifei snorted and Chenglong laughed.

After chatting for a while, Liu Yifei said hello to Han Saping and others and went to find Yang Siwei.

Yang Siwei, Huang Xiaoming and Tong Dawei saw Liu Yifei approaching slowly and all stared at her and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?"

Huang Xiaoming said, "We are saying that Auntie definitely doesn't want to stay with Mr. Han and the other big guys."

"Sure enough, before I finished speaking, my aunt came to look for me."

Huang Xiaoming's words made Yang Siwei and Tong Dawei very jealous.

There were many socialites in the scene, and Zhang Ziyi moved among several big directors and leaders like a butterfly among flowers.

Han Sanping greeted Li Chen in advance: "Don't spoil my show tonight!"

"You screwed up. I'm not done with you kid."

Ren Zhonglun emerged from behind like a ghost.

"Sanping, what did Li Chen do to you? Are you going to fight with Li Chen?"

Li Chen and Ren Zhonglun nodded and smiled.

"Why are you everywhere!" Han Sanping said unhappily.

Ren Zhonglun laughed and said, "Li Chen, in terms of box office, Sanping is about the same as you taking all in Cameron this time."

Li Chen glanced at Han Sanping, whose face was as black as charcoal. "What do you mean?"

Ren Zhonglun didn't seem to notice Han Sanping's expression at all, and laughed: "Sanping and I made a bet that if the box office reaches 200 million, haha!"

Before Ren Zhonglun finished speaking, Han Saping breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Chen gossiped, "Over 200 million, how is Mr. Han?"

Han Sanping said evasively: "Why are you gossiping like a woman?"

Li Chen laughed and said, "Boss Han's gossips are popular with both men and women. Who wouldn't be curious?"

But no matter how Li Chen asked, Ren Zhonglun refused to reveal anything.

The expressions of Ren and Han were as weird as they could be.

Li Chen suddenly realized that he seemed to have heard of this bet in his previous life.

If I lose, it seems like I will have to run naked on Nanjing Road in Shanghai.

Li Chen couldn't help but shudder. He really couldn't imagine that scene.

Old Han’s entire life has been ruined by box office success.

Li Chen glanced at Han Saping with pity and met Han Saping face to face.

"What are you looking at?" Han Saping was speechless. Li Chen looked at him as if he was looking at the most pitiful and unlucky person in the world.

"Boss Han, listen to my advice. Don't bet anymore. If you bet on the box office, you will lose everything!"

Han Saping was stunned on the spot, and Ren Zhonglun laughed loudly, without any regard for Han Saping's face.

He patted Li Chen on the shoulder and said, "You are right."

The red carpet ceremony didn't start until 6:30.

At the premiere, Cheng Long revealed that he wanted to play the chairman at first, but Han Sanping disagreed.

He had to settle for the second best and wanted to play the role of Zongli, but Han Saping said that he didn't look like it either.

Chenglong had no choice but to say, "Then I'll act whatever you tell me to act, okay?"

The guests applauded and laughed.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Guoli revealed that Han Sanping and Feng Xiaogang treated him as a coolie on the set.

Do all kinds of work.

The atmosphere on the stage was lively, and Xu Qing looked elegant in a black and white sleeveless suit.

On the stage, Wu Junmei was made to look dull and dim.

When asked about the box office.

Han Sanping suddenly became a different person: "I dare not predict the box office because it is really impossible to predict."

Zhang Guoli then said with a smile: "President Han said that if the box office exceeds 1.8 million, we will give everyone a symbolic salary."

"Anyway, I'm very confident about the box office!"

The stars applauded and laughed, and no one cared about the meager pay.

Zhang Guoli laughed again and said, "Why don't we ask Director Li? The recent 10 billion box office shocked China and the world."

The audience's attention was immediately focused on Li Chen, and the camera was also turned to Li Chen.

Li Chen suddenly realized, no wonder Han Saping had just told him not to sabotage him tonight.

Waiting here.

Netizens in Sina's live broadcast room left messages enthusiastically.

"Leo is not going to ask for another billion, I'm really going to be furious!"

"If he really wants 10 billion, Leo can go to a mental hospital."

The stars at the scene were also whispering.

"You are so pitiful, senior. If you say it too low, you will be slapping Mr. Han in the face. If you say it too high, you may be destroying your own reputation."

"Aunt, uncle is in trouble now."

"I'm not worried. There's no problem that can stump him."

"The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. He is still too young." Wu Yusen and Chen Kexin laughed softly.

Li Chen didn't look at anyone, he just squinted at Han Saping on the stage.

Han Saping stared at Li Chen without blinking.

It seemed as if the enemy would eat Li Chen alive if he said a wrong word.

The staff has handed the microphone to Li Chen.

Tang Guoqiang and others on the stage looked at Li Chen sitting in the first row with smiles on their faces.

In the whole audience, perhaps only Liu Yifei and Yang Siwei in the second row were not worried at all.

Li Chen picked up the microphone and said, "Teacher Guoli asked me to make an estimate. I am not like Mr. Han, who always likes to overestimate other people's movies."

"When it came time for him to direct, he was very conservative, not at all like the usual Mr. Han."

The stars in the audience and Zhang Guoli and others on the stage all gave Li Chen applause without reservation.

In a hundred years, there is only one freak like Li Chen who dares to make fun of the head of Chinese film in front of all the stars.

Although Han Sanping had a stern face, he could not hide the smile in his eyes.

Li Chen's words were obviously praising "The Founding of a Republic". As for making fun of himself, forget it. A noble man should not bear grudges.

It would be purely unfair to myself to get angry with this kid.

Netizens were even more delighted.

"Little Leo is so awesome, even the Third Master dares to tease him!"

"Leo is San Ye's money bag, and San Ye doesn't dare to really turn against Leo, otherwise the annual benefits of China Film Group will be split in half and then in half again."

When the applause died down, Li Chen said, "It's enough to shout out 'one billion' once. Let's use a homonym this time to represent the 400 million compatriots at that time."

"Four hundred million! Four hundred million shouldn't be difficult!"

hiss.
Many people in the audience gasped, and even Han Saping was stunned for a second or two.

The host was the first to react.

"Four hundred million, Director Li's words are golden. Are you satisfied, Mr. Han?"

Han Sanping licked his old face: "Satisfied, satisfied."

Everyone laughed, and naturally no one took Li Chen's prediction seriously.
