Chapter 421 I Just Hope Xixi Is Happier Than Me
"Huayi's ambitions are clear, but Leo is too good to be true."
"Passengers, a sci-fi blockbuster with a budget of $8500 million, is not afraid of any fight between Huayi and other eight films!"
"'Zi Qi' came to the east, and all the super girls in Huayi surrendered."
"I bet that the combined box office of Huayi's eight films this year will definitely not be able to compete with Rongchen's three films."
The harsh comments from netizens in Sina's live broadcast room were like rubbing salt into the wounds of the two Wangs.
After the party, the Hong Kong circle was unable to break into the mainland circle and left early.
It is really not easy for Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei to chat and laugh with Li Chen.
"Director Li spoke very well today. Only by walking on two legs can we walk fast and steadily." Wang Zhongjun said with a smile.
The two brothers Wang and Wang Xiao were full of grievances.
But Li Chen never said a bad word about Hua Yi from beginning to end.
There is no excuse for the big and small kings to get angry.
"Mr. Wang, thank you for your praise. I am really envious of the Eight Departments of Huayi."
"Recently, I have been racking my brains and working day and night to finish the script."
“I just hope Huayi won’t leave me too far behind.”
Li Chen looked so sincere that the kings, both big and small, were confused.
The two brothers couldn't help but wonder: Is he really working hard on writing a script recently? Is he not deliberately trying to disgust Xiaogang?
"Director Li, you're joking. I hope you don't leave Huayi too far behind, haha."
Liu Yifei had to endure it very hard watching the three men flattering each other.
Just try to keep a poker face.
So as to avoid letting Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang on the other side notice anything.
After getting in the car, Liu Yifei hugged Li Chen's arm affectionately and said coquettishly: "You are really good at acting. You fooled the two Mr. Wangs so much that they were dizzy."
"I am improving their professional abilities. It would be a shame if a film company boss couldn't even tell whether an actor's acting was good or not."
"Then he probably doesn't love the movie, but the box office." Li Chen was in a good mood and joked with Miss Liu.
As soon as the Wang brothers got in the car, their expressions changed immediately.
"Brother, Li Chen is too arrogant. Who does he think he is? What qualifications does he have to comment on Xiaogang?"
"What confidence do you have to question our Huayi!" Wang Zhonglei looked angry.
Wang Zhongjun, however, remained calm and asked, "What did Zhang Weiping say?"
In Wang Zhongjun's opinion, the current priority is to increase Huayi's share of the box office to 45%, so that Huayi can be on an equal footing with Rongchen Pictures.
Otherwise, even though Hua Yi was the first to eat the crab, he still felt like he was raised by Er Niang.
Why is Rongchen Pictures the only one of Scorpion Papa’s?
Speaking of this matter, Wang Zhonglei became furious again.
"That bastard, I never met him, and I called him to make an appointment, but he said he was busy!"
After hearing what his brother said, Wang Zhongjun was also a little confused.
Based on his understanding of Zhang Weiping, they should be like-minded.
I lick Feng Xiaogang, and you surround Zhang Yimou. In the final analysis, we are all just 'gentlemen who love money'.
Wang Zhonglei thought Zhang Weiping was just being perfunctory, but that was not the case.
Zhang Weiping was indeed busy.
The old hen that lays golden eggs, no, Zhang Yimou is about to fly away, what's the point of him talking about box office sharing?
His life motto is, if you can't get it, destroy it.
It's just that he was just waiting for "Three Guns" to return from Berlin before revealing his true colors.
"Li Chen proposed that the 'going out' strategy should rely on two legs, and it is better to make up for the shortcomings than to make up for the shortcomings."
"The stunning trailer of "Passengers" was released, and the champion of "The Voice of China" Deng Ziqi sang the theme song "Light Years Away"!"
“Passengers is scheduled to be released in the summer and may meet with Earthquake.”
"The special effects of Passengers are worth thousands of dollars per second, making it the most anticipated domestic science fiction blockbuster in 2010." The next day, Li Chen's Passengers became the headline of portal websites and a hot topic of discussion on Weibo.
Deng Ziqi became famous with one song.
Warner kept pace, and the click rate of "Light Years Away" on major music platforms soared rapidly.
In just two days, "Light Years Away" topped the music charts of QQ Music, NetEase Cloud Music, Sina Music and other platforms.
Warner's Chen Jianshun couldn't stop laughing.
I thought Li Chen was a relative of someone, but it turns out he is the God of Wealth.
Song Qian and Zhang Yixing saw Deng Ziqi become famous with one song.
I am getting more and more excited and looking forward to their "Trouble Maker". Valentine's Day is only ten days away.
The two of them felt that each day was like a year.
Liu Yifei took the initiative to ask for a photo.
Li Chen naturally couldn't take it lightly.
The next morning, I went to discuss with my future mother-in-law with Miss Liu.
"Auntie, this is what I think. You and my parents have already met, and my parents are very satisfied with Xixi."
Liu Yifei's face was full of peach blossoms, and she was very charming: "That's right, Auntie said that if you dare to bully me, I will not recognize you as my son!"
Li Chen glanced at Sister Xiaoli and laughed: "Yes, Auntie also said that you are bullying me, so I will bear it and it will pass."
Liu Yifei didn't care about her mother and pinched Li Chen's face affectionately: "You are so pitiful!"
Li Chen laughed: "What's there to be pitied about? It's a blessing for a man to be able to endure."
Liu Xiaoli cleared her throat, and Li Chen quickly pushed Miss Liu away and got back to the topic.
"Is this okay, Auntie?"
"I'll pick an auspicious day and get the certificate with Xixi first."
"As for the wedding, it depends on what Xixi wants to do. It can be Chinese or Western, domestic or foreign."
"I'm going to make it clear that I'm not afraid of spending money, trouble, or hard work. I just want Sissi to be happy."
Liu Yifei came up again, smiling happily: "Do you think we are shouting slogans or singing? You are not afraid. I am not afraid of cockroaches."
Seeing her daughter and Li Chen being so intimate, Liu Xiaoli felt sour in her heart and said with a stern face, "Okay, Xixi, what are you doing? Sit down."
Liu Xiaoli saw Li Chen's sincerity.
The last sentence is the key point: everything depends on Sissi's satisfaction.
"Li Chen, you two have been together for more than five years. Auntie has nothing to worry about."
"It's up to you two to decide."
"Auntie just hopes that you will remember the promise you made today and treat Sissi well for the rest of your life."
Li Chen didn't say another word, just nodded solemnly.
Liu Xiaoli turned around and went upstairs.
"Mom seems a little unhappy." Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli are mother and daughter and can empathize with each other.
Li Chen sighed softly: "Put yourself in her shoes. If one day my daughter becomes someone else's daughter-in-law, I won't be happy either."
How could Liu Yifei understand Li Chen's mentality of living two lives?
But the depth revealed in Li Chen's words didn't seem to be pretended.
"Do you have a daughter?" Liu Yifei blurted out.
Li Chen smiled and covered it up: "What I mean is, in the future, we'd better have a son."
Liu Yifei didn't think much about it and pointed a finger at Li Chen's nose: "Shameless!"
At the corner of the second floor, Liu Xiaoli, who was listening to the conversation between her daughter and son-in-law, sighed.
"Time can often easily defeat promises. I just hope Sissi is happier than me."
