Chapter 388: One Word Wins Millions of Fans
Li Chen and Blueberry TV had a disagreement, but it gave Litchi TV a glimmer of hope.
Lizhi spent 500 million yuan this year and was originally preparing to go for a big push.
First, it boldly bought the satellite premiere rights for "Chinese Paladin III", preparing to have a good start on the first day of the Lunar New Year next year.
In terms of prime time ratings and market share, it surpasses Mango TV.
They also ambitiously repackaged "Absolute Singing" to compete with "Super Girl".
As a result, Blueberry, who showed up unexpectedly, took advantage of the situation.
Now I heard that Rongchen Pictures and Blueberry have some disagreements.
Naturally, I don't mind digging into the blueberry corner.
Even if it doesn't work, it's okay to make blueberries disgusting.
Li Chen did not meet with anyone from Litchi TV, after all, he had just signed a strategic partnership with Blueberry.
As long as the two parties have not completely broken up, he will not be too disrespectful to the other party.
It is widely rumored that "The Voice of China" has increased Li Chen's wealth by more than 10 billion.
It seems that Li Chen is inseparable from the 10 billion this year.
"Founding of a Republic" had great staying power and earned 1.4 million yuan in the first week.
Group tickets are sold out immediately.
Tong Gang and Han Sanping joked, "Li Chen's speech about the 400 million compatriots is really impressive."
"Director Wang also asked me if it was a duet between you and Li Chen."
Han Sanping acquiesced with a flattering face.
The strong box office of "Founding of a Republic" allowed him to temporarily forget the huge losses of "No Man's Land".
Compared with the profit and loss of "No Man's Land", "Founding of a Republic" was the political achievement that brought him both fame and fortune.
The first season of "The Voice" has finally come to an end.
The champion is Deng Ziqi from Zheng Xiuwen's team.
With the joint efforts of the three producers, this popular domestic original variety show in 09 has become popular not only in China.
It also became popular abroad.
The American magazine Variety also reported on it, as did media in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea.
What made Li Chen happiest was that Warner decided to introduce "The Voice" to the United States.
Li Chen remembered that this Dutch program in his previous life was also introduced to the Americans, but it seemed that it was not from Warner.
To everyone's surprise, Yang Siwei not only signed the champion Deng Ziqi, but also signed Yu Kewei from Zhang Xinzhe's team.
The other members of "The Voice of China" were also divided up by Guangguang and Blueberry.
Li Chen has a clear understanding of the positioning of Xiaojufei and Yu Kewei.
One is that he will be a future leader of Rongchen Films in the Chinese music scene and even the global music scene.
The other one is the theme song of domestic film and television works.
In October, "Founding of a Republic" was still the most popular film.
Han Saping has a love-hate relationship with a group of older generation directors. He enjoys killing, but in the end, he is still the one who bleeds.
Han Saping invested heavily in Heping's "Wheat Field", Tian Zhuangzhuang's "Wolf Totem", and Wang Jia's "Earth-shaking".
But he lost a lot of money, and coupled with "No Man's Land", I heard that Han Sanping was depressed.
"The Wheat Field" cost 6000 million yuan, but only earned million yuan at the box office.
"Earthquake" cost 4000 million yuan and grossed million yuan.
Even Feng Xiaogang's "Earthquake" was affected.
Both are earthquake-themed movies, one is about Wenchuan and the other is about Tangshan.
Enthusiastic netizens have begun to worry about the little steel cannon.
"For Director Feng's name, adding a zero after 500 million is definitely not excessive, but even if I add a zero, I'll have to pay for it with my pants."
"Is there really a 100 500 million difference between Director Wang and Director Feng? Director Feng has called out a target of 5 million."
Wang Zhonglei urgently spoke out and used Li Chen as a reference.
"Huayi has great confidence in Director Feng and is not worried about losing money at all."
"Director Feng is a major commercial director in the current domestic film industry, second only to Director Li in terms of box office."
Yang Siwei was quite unhappy, and even Liu Yifei felt a little annoyed.
He can always involve his fiancé in everything! It seems that the entertainment industry would not be able to survive without his fiancé.
"Do you think Director Feng's "Earthquake" will be similar to "Assassin's Creed"?"
Li Chen was calmer than anyone else: "No, just based on the three words Feng Xiaogang, even if what he filmed was a piece of shit."
"There will also be countless people willing to spend money, even if they will speak well of Feng Xiaogang after spending the money."
"This is the confidence of a great director. Otherwise, do you think Boss Yang is stupid? He is willing to spend 100 million in signing fees to poach the Wang brothers."
Liu Yifei couldn't help but smile and moved closer to Li Chen: "Fragrant words? Why do curse words taste different when they come into your mouth?"
Li Chen smiled, leaned forward and kissed Miss Liu who was caught off guard.
Miss Liu did not push him away and did not move her body. The two of them kissed each other so passionately, unable to let go.
After a long time, Li Chen smiled and said, "Has the taste changed?"
Liu Yifei finally reacted and glared at Li Chen with a ruddy face.
"It's changed! It smells like something improper!"
Li Chen laughed: "Will you come with me to the premiere conference of Running Man?"
"I'm not going. I've made an appointment with Chang Chang to go shopping! I'm going to spend all your money!"
Li Chen hugged Miss Liu's soft and fragrant body and said with a smile: "If you spend all my money, I will rely on you, I won't lose anything"
Miss Liu was delighted to hear this. If she hadn't been worried about her best friend coming over soon, the two of them might have been so carried away by their passion that they would have forgotten everything else.
Han Sanping spent this National Day with both pain and happiness.
On the one hand, his box office success of "Founding of a Republic" was nothing short of miraculous.
On the one hand, the series of movies he invested in were spectacular failures.
Ren Zhonglun laughed unceremoniously: "Sanping, listen to Li Chen's advice and don't bet on the box office anymore."
"Don't take what happened on Nanjing Road seriously. I was just joking with you." Han Saping was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he was helpless with Ren Zhonglun.
The premiere conference of "Running Man" was held at Wanda Hotel.
Li Chen, Lao Wang and Blueberry have maximized their respective strength and influence.
Online media, TV stations, as well as Guangguang’s own programs and publicity channels are flooded with behind-the-scenes photos of “Running Man”.
"Running Man" also released a promotional video clip recorded by the guest stars of the 15th episode through its official Weibo account.
Today's live press conference will be broadcast live by Blueberry Channel and Sina.
At the live broadcast site, the media were waiting here early. Whether for Li Chen or for the money, the media were happy to come to Rongchen Pictures' press conference.
Everyone in the industry knows that Rongchen Pictures is generous, and the red envelopes it gives to media reporters are also touching.
In addition to the seven gourd brothers today, there are also two flying guests from the first episode.
One is Chen Qiaoen, a popular idol from Taiwan who moved to the mainland, and the other is Yu Shaoqun, a young actress who received rave reviews for her performance in "Mei Lanfang".
Chen Qiaoen obviously dressed up deliberately today.
A light pink V-neck bubble skirt that shows off your cleavage is both youthful and unrestrained.
"Director Li, Yifei didn't come with you?" Chen Qiaoen smiled like a sunflower.
Li Chen estimated that among his artists, Yang Mi was probably the only one who could suppress the power of this sweet girl from Taiwan.
She is really good looking, unlike some actresses who have no obvious cleavage but have to rely on external forces to create an embarrassing generation gap.
"She is so lazy that she doesn't even want to go out unless it is required for work." Li Chen said this to Chen Qiaoen and didn't say anything more.
With his current status, if he stands with a female star for more than three minutes, rumors of an affair will 'passively' spread the next day.
The press conference started quickly. When Li Chen appeared with 9 stars and Yang Siwei and others, the scene instantly became lively.
The host interviewed several celebrities in turn.
Deng Chao is the funniest: "I think Running Man has brought out another Deng Chao in my heart. Actually, I have a talent for comedy."
The stars all said that they had a lot of fun and that Running Man would definitely be a popular variety show on par with The Voice of China.
Finally, it was Li Chen's turn to make a summary speech.
The media asked questions enthusiastically.
"Director Li, do you think Running Man will be as popular as The Voice?"
"Everyone now says that your words are as good as gold."
"Hanyun just said that she is especially grateful to you for letting her replace Jiang Shuying on Running Man, which helped her regain her confidence."
Zhang Hanyun, who was sitting next to Li Chen, blushed slightly. She shrank her neck and glanced at her boss with the corner of her eyes, her heart pounding.
"Then you can also give an estimate for Running Man."
The audience, as well as the netizens in front of the screen, all wanted to see how Li Chen would answer.
Will he be as low-key about his "Founding of a Republic" as Han Sanping?
Li Chen nodded, paused, and then said, "I've also seen a lot of comments from netizens online, some even asked me to predict next year's World Cup!"
Everyone at the scene burst into laughter.
"I have to make one thing clear: I am not the God of Gamblers, and I am certainly not Paul."
There was laughter again.
“As for ‘Running Man’, I am not making a prediction, I am making an assertion!”
"In the next ten years, the best music variety show will be The Voice, and the best reality show will be Running Man."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene and the Internet exploded instantly.
Everyone on Blueberry Channel was so excited that they were almost ready to hug Li Chen and give him a few kisses.
According to what Li Chen said, eating blueberries and mangoes is just around the corner.
"Leo's domineering aura overflows the screen."
"This is not treating the satellite TV stations as a plate, it's so crazy that it makes people's hearts and lungs tremble."
Shu Chang, who was shopping with her bestie, also paid attention to the live broadcast online.
"Xixi, do you think netizens would be shocked if they knew what my brother looks like in front of you?"
The two men were fully armed, with only four eyes showing.
"No, I asked him too, and he said that no one would believe me even if I told them."
Shu Chang laughed: "It seems so. If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't believe it even if you told me."
Another reporter asked: "Where does Director Li base his assertion on?"
Li Chen smiled and said, "I can tell you all the viewers in front of the TV and the netizens in front of the computer a piece of news."
"Rongchen Pictures has received offers from five foreign companies to introduce The Voice."
The media at the scene were whispering and discussing the matter. The news was too shocking.
When have domestic variety shows ever gone beyond the borders? We’ve almost gotten used to eating the same old stuff from Japan and South Korea.
Who would have thought that Rongchen Pictures would be such a hit at the first attempt and export to five companies at once.
“And I believe the same will be true for Running Man.”
"Rongchen Pictures will add one more goal starting this year!"
“It’s more than just setting a benchmark for the film and television industry.”
“We must also break the old path of domestic variety shows relying on imports!”
"Go out! That's what Rongchen Pictures needs to do!"
"And 'Running Man' is a variety show that uses the cultural customs and attractions of various parts of the country as its business card, and is oriented towards 'health' and 'upward'!"
"It is particularly suitable for an ancient country like ours with vast territory, rich resources and a long history."
"Fire, that's inevitable!"
Deng Chao took the lead in applauding, and the stunned people reacted and followed suit.
The netizens in the live broadcast room were so moved by Li Chen's words that it seemed as if a flame was burning in their hearts.
Especially the three words "go out", which made many netizens with positive values excited.
No one could have expected that a press conference and a single sentence, "Go Out," would cause Li Chen's fans to surge to millions overnight.
