Chapter 415 Is This Love?
After seeing off Zhang Yimou and his wife, Liu Yifei could no longer bear it.
"When did you get together with Director Zhang? How come I had no idea?"
Li Chen shrugged and said, "You don't seem to care much about my company's affairs."
Liu Yifei's pretty face turned red and she was speechless.
This is the truth, she never asks about her fiancé's company.
In fact, she seldom even cared about the affairs of her own Red Star House and was used to being a hands-off manager.
But this matter was really beyond her understanding.
At this time, Liu Yifei was even more confused than Zhang Yimou, the person involved.
She could imagine how shocked people in the circle would be if they knew that Zhang Yimou had joined Rongchen Pictures.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is like adding wings to a tiger.
"Who else would know besides me?"
Li Chen laughed and said, "I'm afraid it must be Director Zhang and his wife."
"Did you know that Director Zhang remarried and has children?" Liu Yifei asked one question after another.
Li Chen looked innocent: "How would I know?"
"Then why aren't you surprised at all?" Miss Liu was angry.
Why is there such a big gap between people, you black-bellied man!
"Why should I be so weird about other people's family affairs? Besides, what's so weird about things in the entertainment industry?"
"But, but" Miss Liu was speechless again.
She found herself increasingly unable to argue with her fiancé.
Indeed, this kind of thing is common in the entertainment industry.
It’s just that the person involved does not have the fame and influence of Zhang Yimou.
In the evening, Miss Liu worked particularly hard.
"What's wrong with you today, Xixi?" Li Chen sat up and panted.
Miss Liu pushed him hard and knocked him down again, then continued to do her squats without saying a word.
Will today's Zhang Yimou be tomorrow's Li Chen?
A man in his fifties found a woman in her twenties and had three children with her. At most, people would make fun of him by saying that he was in the prime of life.
If a woman in her fifties were to find a man in his twenties, I'm afraid the same thing would not happen.
So for her own happiness, Miss Liu has to squeeze her fiancé dry.
Otherwise he would be in his fifties and still be strong and healthy!
Li Chen didn't know that Miss Liu had such a weird idea in her heart, and thought that this was love.
"Ip Man 3" held a grand opening ceremony in Beijing.
Yang Siwei and Huo Wenxi attended the launch conference on behalf of both parties.
Huo Wenxi felt very sorry that Li Chen didn't come.
Bai Qiao became an instant hit in the mythology, which was the perfect opportunity for him to move to the big screen.
At times like this, Huo Wenxi would naturally keep her by his side.
But by the third part of Ip Man, Ying and Huang no longer had any say in the casting.
From the first to the third Ip Man film, Huo Wenxi witnessed the rise of Rongchen Pictures.
From a small workshop, it has grown into a giant entertainment carrier in just a few years.
Fortunately, Yang Siwei still remembered her kindness and helped Bai Qiao get the role of the female teacher.
After having a meal with Yang Siwei, Huo Wenxi left an exquisite gift box as a thank you gift, and then left with Bai Qiao in a very tactful manner.
The two got in the car. Huo Wenxi smiled as if to comfort Bai Qiao and also to comfort himself, "It's the end of the year, and Director Li is very busy. What a pity."
Bai Qiao actually knows how to position himself correctly.
Even the company's top star Xie Tingfeng wanted to compete for the role of Zhang Tianzhi, but was rejected by the other party.
Who is she to be picky?
"Mani said that Director Li's company's film list plan has not yet been released, and everyone is eagerly looking forward to it. I am quite curious."
Huo Wenxi smiled and said, "According to Director Li's style, it is usually announced after the Spring Festival every year."
"Just... forget it, I won't say it anymore."
Since my boss had messed things up, it was difficult for both parties to return to the initial cooperative relationship.
What's more, Rongchen Pictures is the leader in the mainland film and television industry, and Director Li is no longer the Director Li he was five or six years ago.
But her boss is still the same boss.
Li Chen cancelled the celebration party for "Wushuang".
"Avatar" is about to break 1 billion, and holding a second celebration party for "Wushuang" is really a bit like looking at the sky from a well.
Li Chen returned to the company for a meeting, and Yang Siwei and other executives and artists gathered there.
In Conference Room No. 2, everyone was chatting animatedly.
Zhu Yawen and Deng Chao were both chatterboxes who never stopped.
"Mi Mi, Lao Hu has a lot of leg hair, his muscles are not as attractive as mine." Zhu Yawen posed to show off his muscles.
"Little pig, keep your voice down. Mimi is not your sister." Zhou Xun said self-deprecatingly.
Yang Mi glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to the three of them. Yang Mi glared at Zhu Yawen's big mouth and changed the subject, "Sister Xun, your contract is about to expire."
"You really won't renew the contract?"
Zhou Xun pursed his lips and said with some hesitation: "Forget it, all good things must come to an end."
"It's actually quite comfortable working under Director Li, but I want to try everything, so I'm going to open a studio to have some fun."
"I now regret not listening to Director Li, otherwise I would be a billionaire now."
When Zhu Yawen heard this, she immediately covered her chest with her hands, looking heartbroken.
"Brother Xun, please don't mention this again. I'm still upset! It's nearly 100 million! I'll have to run a few seasons of Running Man to earn it back!"
Yang Mi covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "You deserve it! Uh, Sister Xun, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Xiaozhu!"
Zhou Xun waved his hand and smiled: "You are right, we all deserve it."
It was unknown what Zhang Yi and Deng Chao said to Reba and Zhang Hanyun, which made the two girls laugh uncontrollably.
In Conference Room No. 1, senior executives of Rongchen Pictures gathered.
Yang Siwei was listening to the CFO's report, and his mood was the same as everyone else's. He was so overjoyed that it was hard to describe it.
The annual net profit exceeds 800 million.
The artist economy and the sponsorship fees and advertising fees of "The Voice of China" account for the bulk of the revenue.
In particular, the endorsement fees of several of the company's top artists are considerable.
Deng Chao won the Armani endorsement with "Pietà" and the Adidas endorsement with "Running Man".
Both Zhou Xun and Tang Yan have high-end luxury brand endorsements.
Yang Mi is even a big endorsement customer.
As a result, Yang Siwei’s vision is now getting higher and higher.
Those with no commercial value should be sidelined.
Yang Siwei's mind was already wandering at this moment, wondering how much his boss had earned this year.
On the surface, there are clues to this, and it is no problem for Chi You to have earned at least 200 million US dollars.
The rest is unknown.
After the meeting, Li Chen left Yang Siwei and Yu Miao alone.
"Siwei, buy me a gift for Zhou Xun. Since you have decided to leave, let's hold a farewell party."
"Just our own people will attend, and you can choose the location."
Yang Siwei said with a smile: "Boss, you are really unparalleled in the world. You give gifts and treat us."
"If you didn't know, you would think you were looking for Brother Xun to do something."
Think about the situation when Fan Qiaoqiao left Huayi, and the embarrassing situation Huang Xiaoming is in now.
Looking at his boss again, Yang Siwei complimented him, "It is our blessing to meet you."
Yu Miao also echoed: "Boss Yang spoke out what was in my heart."
Li Chen smiled and said, "Okay, stop flattering me and get down to business. Director Yimou is coming."
Yang Siwei and Yu Miao nodded and said "hmm".
They both picked up their pens and started recording as usual, but they still hadn't realized the meaning of this sentence.
Suddenly Yang Siwei seemed to get an electric shock, his pupils dilated in shock: "What? What? Zhang Yimou is coming?"
"Boss, Director Zhang wants to change jobs?" Yu Miao also reacted.
She felt that the news was like a thunderclap in her ears.
Li Chen said with a smile: "That's right, so there are some things you two need to prepare in advance."
Listen to the boss's account of the whole incident.
Yang Siwei had two feelings in his mind.
First, the boss is too good at hiding things, and second, the boss is too cunning.
Yang Siwei was really curious, so he plucked up the courage to ask, "Boss, let me ask you something."
"Did you say that on purpose at the premiere of The Sound of Wind for Director Zhang to hear? Did you have your sights set on Director Zhang a long time ago?"
This cannot be blamed on Yang Siwei for being suspicious; it is because her boss has a history of poaching employees.
Aren’t Song Qian and Zhang Yixing just examples?
But this time what was dug out was not the corner of the wall, but the dragon bones!
Li Chen's eyelids drooped as he looked at Yang Siwei with a smile without saying a word, which made Yang Siwei feel creepy.
"Just pretend I didn't ask!" Yang Siwei quickly admitted his mistake.
Li Chen naturally would not admit it in front of his two subordinates.
But I added in my heart: Although I didn’t do it on purpose, I did do it on purpose.
Yang Siwei and Yu Miao both breathed a sigh of relief when they left Li Chen's office.
The news was so explosive that the two of them were under great pressure.
Especially when Li Chen was instructing the two, his tone was quite cold, as if to say, "If you fail, you will be beheaded."
When Yang Mi and others saw Yang Siwei, they found that Yang Siwei's smile was very unnatural.
Zhou Xun understood this situation best, this was because the person was frightened.
