Chapter 435: Cocktail Party Incident (Part )
Fangfei Garden, State Guesthouse
Liu Yifei's coming-of-age ceremony was held here.
The national master chose this place to join the team, which caused a lot of discussion among the guests and the media.
All the actors and singers who received invitations from Rongchen Pictures were proud of it and dared not refuse.
Even if she had diarrhea, she had to clench her anus to show her support for the two most important directors in the country.
You don’t have to come, but you have to be prepared to be bullied by the capital.
Rongchen Pictures is now like a spider spirit that has become immortal.
The network of relationships is extensive.
From bottom to top, the cinema chain has the strong support of Wanda, the number one among the eight major cinema chains, and now Alibaba, the Internet company, has joined.
The distribution company has a strong support for the growth of Yixin Media. China Film Group and Guangguang are also close allies.
The production company is unique in the circle. Except for Huayi, which can match it in terms of quantity, other production companies are far behind.
The successive appearances of Zhang Ziyi and Dong Jie, two of Mou's girls, were also sought after by the media.
It’s just a pity that the former Mou Girl Gongli didn’t come.
Uncle Zhao walked onto the red carpet with Xiao Shenyang, the proud disciple of the Zhao Family Class, with a calm smile.
Since the old friend can leave New Picture, Uncle Benshan must come to support the show.
Even if the new owner criticized "Three Guns" harshly, Zhang Yimou didn't care, so why should Zhao Benshan worry about it?
Chen Kexin walked from afar on the red carpet with a sterile look.
With a smile on her face, she greeted fans and media on both sides, fully displaying Mrs. Chen's style.
"Husband, are we sick? Let's go and support him." As soon as Wu Jinru entered Fangfei Garden, she saw the gathering of stars and big names, which made her jealous.
Chen Kexin and several acquaintances nodded frequently, with smiles on their faces, but the words out of their mouths were as cold as the wind and frost: "Shut up! You have long hair but little knowledge, what do you know."
"Look who's here today!"
Chen Kexin was too lazy to explain to the woman.
Although Zhang Yimou had a high status in the past, Zhang Weiping of New Picture offended everyone.
He can be said to be a loner in the circle.
China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, and Huayi Film Group never support New Picture.
After "Curse of the Golden Flower", New Picture's overbearing agreement lost the hearts of the people.
But now that Zhang Yimou has left New Picture, he has a bright future ahead of him.
The combination with Li Chen makes the two brothers even more powerful.
In the domestic market of the future, I am afraid that the two Li brothers will work together to make money.
The market is so hot right now, everyone is working hard to make money, but the gossipers around you are still trying to get angry! Shift!
If she were at home, Chen Kexin would definitely yell at Wu Jiru: "That's money! Money! Make money!"
Chen Daoming, Wang Jingyan, Zhang Fengyi, and Liang Jiahui were talking about something, but they all had smiles on their faces.
Only Wang Jingyan knows his own business.
In today's entertainment industry, her Eighteen Culture is no longer what it used to be.
Yang Ying opened her big, shining eyes wide and looked at every big shot with envy.
In this kind of occasion, if she wasn't with Huang Xiaoming, few people would recognize her.
This made the big baby feel very frustrated.
I secretly made up my mind that I would never hang around in the Hong Kong circle again.
"What's wrong?" Huang Xiaoming was very attentive and could clearly sense his girlfriend's emotions.
Dabaobei quickly shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind and smiled brightly: "You promised me that you would introduce Director Li and Director Zhang to me today. You must keep your promise."
Huang Xiaoming smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I'm confident that I can handle this."
Chenglong chatted and laughed with Liu Dehua with his eldest son.
Huo Wenxi accompanied Xie Tingfeng, with the anxious A Jiao beside her.
There was a lot of drinking and chatting in the venue.
Li Chen, Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun and others were drinking red wine and chatting happily. From time to time, someone would bring new people up to show their faces.
"Li Chen, you must come to the Magnolia Awards and the Film Festival in June. You and Yifei's "Dream of Red Mansions" and our "Passengers" also need promotion."
"As long as you come, I will reserve the best hall for you." Ren Zhonglun said with a smile.
Han Sanping sneered: "Old Ren, it seems that if Li Chen doesn't come to Shanghai, there will be no place for promotion, right?"
Ren Zhonglun snorted softly: "Saping, you haven't fulfilled your bet on Nanjing Road yet, right? Do you want me to recall it for you?"
Han Saping immediately fell silent.
Li Chen felt amused and didn't ask any further questions: "Director Ren, we'll talk about it later. We may not have time."
When the auspicious time arrived, Zhang Yimou and his wife Chen Ting both appeared in Fangfei Garden.
The eyes of the big guys and the stars immediately turned to the long-lost national teacher.
No one in the crowd dared to comment, but many people unconsciously compared Chen Ting with Chen Hong and Liu Yifei.
As the wife of a famous director, Chen Ting is just too ordinary compared to the latter two. The flash lights flashed, and Zhang Yimou walked slowly onto the stage.
Li Chen opened his arms and gave Lao Mouzi a gentle hug to express his welcome.
The guests sitting in the audience applauded.
The signing ceremony officially began.
When everyone saw the signing fee of 2 million, they were still shocked even though they had expected it to be a sky-high price.
Especially Huo Wenxi and Wang Zhonglei who were present.
"Director Li is so generous!" A Jiao whispered in Xie Tingfeng's ear. She was sitting at the back and no one paid attention to her.
It was shocking when the big boss offered Feng Xiaogang a sky-high transfer fee of 100 million.
The 200 million on the scene today is simply a double kill
Wang Zhonglei and Huo Wenxi were both a little embarrassed.
On the stage, Li Chen was still speaking.
"In addition to filming four movies for Rongchen Pictures in the past ten years, Director Yimou's personal studio's works will also be strongly supported by Rongchen Pictures."
"Next, director Yimou's film Under the Hawthorn Tree will select male and female protagonists from across the country. As the first film of his studio, Rongchen Pictures will fully support it."
"In the future, his studio will not refuse the participation of other film and television companies in its productions."
As soon as these words were spoken, the media and guests immediately started talking about it.
That means they can also invest in "The Flowers of War".
Everyone gave a heartfelt applause.
Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun looked at each other and smiled. They had known about this for a long time.
China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group are the investors of "The Flowers of War".
This is their first time to get involved in Zhang Yimou's work.
It's time for media questions.
Because Li Chen had already informed in advance that Zhang Yimou's family affairs would not be discussed today, the media had to focus on the movie.
But there are always discordant voices.
"Director Zhang, don't you feel guilty?" These words immediately made the scene quiet.
Everyone turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from, searching for the owner of the voice.
Yang Siwei's face immediately turned dark, and he thought to himself: Here it comes, here it comes.
She knew today wouldn't be so easy.
Liu Yifei in the audience cast a questioning look.
Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Zhou Xun and others also looked at each other and looked at Yang Siwei.
Yang Siwei frowned and glanced at the boss beside him, only to see that the boss's face was calm and without any emotion.
Yang Siwei's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
Zhang Yimou looked embarrassed and glanced at Li Chen, who shook his head slightly to indicate that it was okay.
Li Chen, Zhang Yimou, Yang Siwei and others were sitting on the stage, so they could see the man who was speaking clearly.
Li Chen stared at the plain-looking man with eyes as bright as torches and asked, "Which media are you from?"
The man swallowed his saliva under Li Chen's sharp gaze, and before he could say anything, someone answered for him.
"I remember now. Just now outside the stadium, he said he was from the Great Pegasus Sutra!"
Everyone burst into laughter, probably because they have watched too much Young and Dangerous.
No one could have expected that a few days later, the yellow dog who played the role of Hongxing Da Fei Ge made shocking remarks, which also pushed Li Chen to the forefront.
The man's face turned red due to the laughter of the crowd.
"I, I'm not from the Great Pegasus Sutra, I am"
"Then who are you?" Li Chen pressed on.
The man didn't dare to admit his identity. In fact, he was a reporter from Damai Entertainment, a media outlet that was softly banned by Li Chen for exposing the fact that Song Gou spread rumors about Liu Yifei.
I came here today under the instructions of Zhang Weiping.
"Does it matter who he is, Director Li? Since when do we reporters have to introduce ourselves when asking questions? If you don't welcome us to ask questions, we can leave together." Another person stood up and echoed.
But only four or five people responded to him.
The other colleagues looked at these idiots as if they were fools.
The reporter from Damai Entertainment also looked in surprise at his colleague who helped him out and at the several people who stood up one after another.
In an instant, he seemed to understand that Zhang Weiping was looking for more than just him.
This person immediately became excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
"That's right! I'm asking Director Zhang, Zhang Weiping invested in your "If You Are the One" and lost 18 million, but he didn't complain at all."
"Without Zhang Weiping's help, would you be the national teacher today, Director Zhang?"
"You are so ungrateful and unworthy of being the Imperial Master!"
The guests and media at the scene were all shocked. Whose general is this?
