Chapter 389: Schedule dispute
The effect of this premiere conference is comparable to the premiere of "The Founding of a Republic".
Although there were no congratulations from hundreds of stars, the topic generated by Li Chen's words "go global" was no less than that of "The Founding of a Republic"!
The media interpreted this as Han Saping's tribute to the 60th anniversary of the founding of the motherland with "The Founding of a Republic".
Li Chen added icing on the cake by using the cultural export method of "going out".
The term "going global" became the spirit of the meeting, with the term spreading across Weibo and being reported on the headlines of portal websites, and even during departmental meetings.
Han Saping answered one call after another from his superiors.
The more I connect, the more frightening I become, but there is only one central idea.
As the head of China Film Group, you should show more care and support for young talents like Li Chen who have ideas and actions.
Han Saping's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He was really finding Li Chen increasingly difficult to figure out.
From 400 million to walk out may seem like only six words, but they demonstrate a wisdom that is extremely inconsistent with one's age.
The most important thing is, it suits my taste!
"Damn it, if this kid gets into government, he will definitely be an expert at it. At least he won't stand on the wrong side!" Han Sanping said secretly.
Wang Changtian's eyebrows were shaking with laughter: "Brother, one is worth two!"
"There's no need for me and Zhong Tai to take action. My brother has already destroyed the enemy's masts and oars in the blink of an eye."
Wang Changtian was speaking the truth.
Li Chen himself is even more famous than celebrities, more favored by the media, and loved by millions of netizens.
"Don't think of just being a bystander, and don't flatter me. Your ability is beyond doubt."
"Playing dumb to eat the tiger will only backfire in my case."
Wang Changtian laughed out loud. It was so comfortable to talk to smart people. It was like a fancy sedan chair with people carrying it.
With this press conference, the attention on Running Man reached its peak.
So much so that the ratings of the first episode of the first season of Legend of the White Snake really became a legend.
It reached an exaggerated 5.8.
It is twice as high as "Super Girl"'s 1.9, and half as high as "The Voice of China"'s 4.0.
There are several games inside: White Snake morning run on a massage mat, bouncing chairs to remember the order of dishes served, and the imaginative West Lake fun table tennis game.
And the ultimate name tag tearing battle gave audiences across the country the illusion that Granny Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.
Major satellite TV stations also widened their eyes, it turns out that variety shows can be performed in this way, it's really exciting.
The official Weibo account of "Running Man" gained 160 million followers after the first episode was aired.
The seven permanent guests, two flying guests and the special guest Tian Liang of the first episode, who was the king of name tag tearing, became hot topics among netizens and audiences overnight.
In fact, among the seven guests in the first season, only Deng Chao, Zhu Yawen and Wang Baoqiang have a decent level of popularity in mainland China.
Zhang Hanyun has become popular again, so she can be considered one of them.
The remaining three, Shen Teng, Wang Zulan and Zheng Kai, are actually not much better than passers-by in the eyes of the general public.
None of the three have any representative works. Wang Zulan may be slightly famous in Hong Kong Island, just like Chen Qiaoen.
In Taiwan, he is considered an idol, but in mainland China, he can barely be considered an impressionist.
But when "Running Man" came out.
Everyone remembers the scene where Chen Qiaoen fell into the water.
The embarrassing scene of Blue Pig Bajie carrying his wife on his back in Wang Group.
And the courage of Shaolin in protecting guns, etc.
The enthusiasm of netizens is fully reflected in the official blog.
"I first started paying attention to this variety show simply because of Leo's words 'Go Out'."
"So many variety shows are indoors, but this one is outdoors. The most important thing is that these stars are having fun and are not pretentious."
"Finally, Deng Chao doesn't have to pretend to be serious anymore. It turns out he is really a funny guy!"
"The Baolan brothers and Zhang Hanyun are also very outstanding. There are no duplicate characters, which makes this show wonderful."
There is a saying that goes "One strike is enough to prevent a hundred blows", although it is not quite appropriate here.
But the situation was similar when the first season of "Running Man" invited guests.
Some people are still hesitant and refuse to condescend because the appearance fee is low.
But as soon as the first episode was aired, Yang Siwei began to be bombarded with phone calls.
Not only the various brokerage companies, but the other two producers also have their own people to promote.
No one will mention the appearance fee anymore, just pay whatever you think is appropriate.
Li Chen's prediction came true again, and now even the eight major cinema chains that had made a bet with Li Chen began to feel uneasy. So far, Li Chen's predictions have always come true.
Can "Avatar" really reach 10 billion?
The guests who had the honor of recording "Running Man" in the first season were all overjoyed.
Cai Yinong, who initially disliked Yang Siwei for giving Hu Ge and Liu Shishi too low appearance fees, seemed to have lost his memory.
She smiled like a brothel owner and tried to play some tricks on Yang Siwei, roughly meaning: Siwei, you see, we are already so familiar with each other, and I have several new people here.
There's no need to talk about appearance fees for the second season. I can even pay for it out of my own pocket!
Yang Siwei received no less than twenty calls of this kind a day.
Finally, his cell phone ran out of battery and Yang Siwei breathed a sigh of relief.
"There is nothing the boss can't do, as long as others can't think of it. Now, even if the company doesn't go public, the boss's position is unmatched."
This is not only the voice of Yang Siwei, but also the voice of the artists under Rongchen Pictures.
Currently, Rongchen Pictures has become an all-round entertainment carrier spanning film, television, music and variety shows.
Moreover, he is an all-rounder in four fields, and any one of them can stand out in the industry.
"Wushuang" has passed the review on the bureau's official website.
Liu Dehua and Liu Weiqiang came together to visit Li Chen to discuss the release date.
When Liu Weiqiang came back to Li Chen’s villa for the first time, his most immediate feeling was not that it was big, but that it was luxurious.
Craftsmen in white work clothes can be seen everywhere on the lawn.
Weeding, watering the flowers and maintaining the pavilions and chairs all have their own responsibilities.
The lawn is smooth and shiny, and you can see a few expensive pets from time to time.
"That one is Li Chen's." Liu Dehua pointed at a Samoyed and said with a smile.
"That husky belongs to Yifei."
Liu Weiqiang was quite surprised.
Liu Dehua later explained: "Li Chen thought Yifei liked small dogs, so he bought a Samoyed for Yifei."
Liu Weiqiang understood: "It turns out that Miss Liu likes large dogs such as Eskimo dogs."
Liu Dehua nodded, and Liu Weiqiang laughed: "I really can't tell that Miss Liu likes large dogs."
Because of his collaboration with Li Chen, Liu Weiqiang also paid special attention to Liu Yifei.
Seeing the young couple at Li Chen's villa, Liu Weiqiang said politely: "Miss Liu's Bai Xiuzhu is still fresh in my memory."
It seemed like this was the first time that Liu Yifei heard a famous director praising her role as Bai Xiuzhu, and she naively believed it.
"Thank you Director Liu for the compliment." After saying that, she glanced at Li Chen with her beautiful eyes.
Li Chen felt amused and asked Liu Dehua and Liu Weiqiang to take a seat.
The couple had once had a discussion about Bai Xiuzhu.
Ms. Liu thinks that Bai Xiuzhu is at her most immature moment, so it is understandable that her acting skills are worrying.
But Li Chen likes her Bai Xiuzhu the most.
In Li Chen's words, you are not acting as Bai Xiuzhu, it is Bai Xiuzhu who is accommodating you.
The reason why Bai Xiuzhu can catch people's eyes is of course inseparable from Miss Liu's beauty.
But it was Miss Liu's inherent arrogance as a lady from a wealthy family that made him unforgettable.
When he was watching "Gold Powder", he even asked himself this question.
Is there really such a man who would abandon Bai Xiuzhu and instead choose Leng Qingqiu, a plain-looking and cold person just like her name?
"Director Li, Andy and I both think it would be best to put it in mid-to-late January, so as to avoid direct conflict with Zhang Yimou's "Three Guns" and Chen Desen's "The Besieged City in October."
When Li Chen heard this, he raised his hand and interrupted: "No, absolutely not in January."
"Avatar" will be released in January, and even if it is really scheduled for January, it will definitely be moved up in the future.
The two Lius looked at each other and asked, "Do you have any inside information, Li Chen?"
Liu Dehua knew that Li Chen had deep connections with the higher-ups and Hollywood.
"I'm not sure, but there's news that Avatar will be released in January."
"I would rather face off against Zhang Yimou in December than be cannon fodder for Avatar."
Liu Weiqiang was really curious: "Director Li, is this Avatar really that powerful?"
"With a budget of 500 million US dollars, Cameron's masterpiece took ten years to prepare. Just the trailer has already secured the victory."
