Chapter 450: 'International Style' is in a dilemma

Online public opinion is almost one-sided.

The individual voices speaking up for Wang Xiaoshuai were also drowned out by the vast ocean.

"I think you are still poisoned. Don't you realize what era it is now? You are still following the old ways and can't forget them!"

"You said you have nothing to do. What do people born in the 80s and 90s do?"

"Do you feel like you are Li Chen, Zhang Yimou or Feng Xiaogang? No matter what you shoot, people will support you!"

Han Xiaoxi was furious and kept pointing at Wang Xiaoshuai and talking incessantly.

He is four years older than Wang Xiaoshuai and can be considered his senior.

Judging from the current copyright transaction volume of "Rizhao" in Cannes, the domestic box office must be at least 5000 million for him to make a profit.

But with what Wang Xiaoshuai did, five million might just be a luxury.

"I don't care how others change, I won't change anyway, I will still stick to making serious films."

"The teacher once said that movies are the director's artworks, so I want to make my artworks grow among "cash crops"!"

Han Xiaoxi finally understood a truth: don't argue with the stubborn donkey!
"Okay, keep going. I hope you can stick to it!" Han Xiaoxi turned around and slammed the door and left.

Wang Xiaoshuai looked numb. He didn't care even if the subtext of this sentence was that this was Han Xiaoxi's last investment in his movie.

Office of the Dean of Beijing Film Academy.

"Old Tian, ​​Li Chen and Xiao Shuai are the pride of our college. Old Zheng called me and hoped you could come forward and act as a peacemaker."

Her eyelids drooped like a field, as if she was asleep.

"Dean Zhang, you shouldn't have asked me to be the peacemaker. Wang Xiaoshuai is Mr. Zheng's student, and this incident started because Wang Xiaoshuai was outspoken."

"Besides, Li Chen has his own principles in dealing with people. I am just his teacher, and he is still my boss!"

Dean Zhang was in a dilemma. If he had to choose a side, he would definitely stand on Li Chen's side.

But he also couldn't ignore the opinions of the old comrades.

"Old Tian, ​​you say that others protect their children, but I think you are the one who protects your child the most!" Dean Zhang smiled to ease the serious atmosphere.

Seeing that Tian Zhuangzhuang was unwilling to contribute and not intending to force him, he changed the subject and said with a smile: "By the way, do you have any idea of ​​when to conquer Berlin?"

"Then I will take charge of establishing our college's Hall of Honor and invite all those who have won awards, such as Li Chen, Yi Mou, and Lao Chen, to enter."

"Li Chen is the first one!"

Speaking of this, Tian Zhuangzhuang also smiled.

"That's right. I also hope to see Li Chen win a Grand Slam in my lifetime."

Neither of them mentioned anything unhappy.

After Tian Zhuangzhuang left the office, Dean Zhang called Han Saping again.

Han Saping is in an even more difficult situation than Tian Zhuangzhuang.

Dean Zhang was so embarrassed by the official rhetoric that he gave up immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Han Saping hesitated for a long time but still didn't call Li Chen.

Every great director has independent thoughts and personality. Li Chen is no longer the young and inexperienced college student he was back then.

What's more, China Film Group has invested in Jiang Wen's "Bullet" and Li Chen's "Passengers".

Han Sanping must be out of his mind to act like such an annoying peacemaker.

The most difficult people are actually in Cannes.

Fan Qiaoqiao came to Yang Siwei's room early in the morning.

She didn't get a good rest last night.

On one side is Wang Xiaoshuai, the director of "Rizhao", and Wang Xueqi, an artist from her studio, is the absolute leading actor of "Rizhao".

I will fly here from China tomorrow.

If Wang Xueqi won the Best Actor award or she miraculously won the Best Actress award, then Wang Xiaoshuai would be the benefactor of both her and Wang Xueqi.

But the other side cannot be offended at all.

Last year she released nine films, including Fortress Besieged, but none of them was successful abroad.

Zhang Ziyi's drama "Perfect Match" was even a huge hit abroad.

But this year, "Rizhao" and "Passengers" were released. The former was shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes, while the latter is the science fiction romance blockbuster with the highest domestic investment and released globally.

Each of them is a highlight in her acting career.

She discussed with Mu Xiaoguang for a long time and decided to test the opinions of Yang Siwei and Brother Chen first.

She had even booked a party in Cannes for Wang Xiaoshuai's birthday.

Wang Xiaoshuai’s birthday is on the 22nd. Should we hold it now or not?
"Why are you here?" Yang Siwei was obviously still sleepy. He fell back on the bed after opening the door.

"How can I not come? Brother Chen has pushed Director Wang to the top of the trending searches!" Fan Qiaoqiao sat down heavily on the bed, looking exhausted.

"You're not here to beg for mercy, are you? This matter has passed, and the boss won't respond anymore." Fan Qiaoqiao didn't say anything for a long time. Seeing that Yang Siwei was about to fall asleep again, he shook her awake quickly.

"Wake up! Wake up!"

"Just tell me if you have something to say. I'm listening!"

"I held a birthday party for Director Wang. Do you think Brother Chen won't be angry?"

When Yang Siwei heard this, he opened his eyes and sat up: "Are you sick? Or do you really think you are Mr. Fan?"

"I don't know if the boss is angry or not, I'm not made of clay!"

"Xiao Fan, you've already stood me up once, making it very difficult for me to do my job in front of my boss."

"If you want to keep playing like this, let's just stop here."

Fan Qiaoqiao was even more annoyed: "But I've already booked it, I can't cancel it, what will the media think of me then, bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"

"That's your business. It has nothing to do with me. If you have nothing to do, don't disturb my sleep." Yang Siwei said as he turned hostile.

When Fan Qiaoqiao terminated the contract with Huayi and did not sign it to me, I already lost face in front of my boss.

This happened again today.

"Well, then you take a rest, I'll go ask Brother Chen." Fan Qiaoqiao decided to ask Li Chen's opinion.

Maybe Brother Chen is magnanimous and can understand me.

"Go ahead if you want to, but I advise you not to play any tricks."

"Otherwise, let alone relying on Bona Yinglong or even relying on China Film Group or Shanghai Film Group, you are digging your own grave."

Yang Siwei said this to Fan Qiaoqiao's back.

She could say this based on her full understanding of her boss, and it was actually a good intention.

Fan Qiaoqiao was shocked all over. This was the first time that Yang Siwei had spoken such cold words to him that were half threatening and half admonishing.

Fan Qiaoqiao came to Li Chen's room, and it was Huang Xiaoming who opened the door.

"Brother Xiaoming is here too?"

"Not only am I here, Director Wu and Yuqi are here too." Huang Xiaoming smiled and stepped aside to let Fan Qiaoqiao in.

At today's press conference for "The Lost Tomb", Wu Bin brought Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Yuqi to report to Li Chen early in the morning.

"Xiao Fan is here, and breakfast has also been delivered. Let's eat together if you haven't eaten yet." Li Chen saw Fan Qiaoqiao coming to his house without asking the reason.

"I just happened to not have had breakfast. It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. So I won't be polite, Brother Chen." Fan Qiaoqiao said with a smile.

After breakfast, Huang Xiaoming and others went back to prepare.

But Fan Qiaoqiao did not leave.

Huang Xiaoming was considerate and closed the door gently.

He is a smart man. The actress came to see the director early in the morning, it was definitely not about sex.

He could probably guess what it was.

If you put yourself in his shoes, you will find that he would be in a difficult position if this happened to him.

There were only two people left in the room.

"Tell me, what's the matter." Li Chen and Fan Qiaoqiao sat opposite each other.

Only then did Fan Qiaoqiao tell everyone about the birthday party.

"Brother Chen, what do you tell me to do? I'm so worried." Fan Qiaoqiao had a worried look on his face, half of which was fake, and the other half was genuine.

Li Chen sneered: "I'm not on good terms with Wang Xiaoshuai, and you're throwing him a big birthday party!"

"Now you come to me with a wronged look on your face and ask me what to do?"

Fan Qiaoqiao's face changed. She clearly heard the sarcasm in Brother Chen's words.

Fan Qiaoqiao was extremely annoyed and tried hard to act like a pitiful Jinsuo.

It’s all because of this birthday party.

Li Chen added: "You should make your own decisions on your own affairs, don't ask me."

"I remember this is our second collaboration, right?"

Fan Qiaoqiao nodded with a smile like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yeah, the first one is "Father's Love is Like a Mountain". Brother Chen has always taken good care of me."

Fan Qiaoqiao had no idea what Li Chen meant by this, and could only smile to hide his inner anxiety.

"Well, they say things never happen more than three times. I hope our cooperation won't be like this. Well, I have something else to do. If you have anything else, go find Yang Siwei."

Li Chen issued an order to expel Fan Qiaoqiao, and he was completely dumbfounded.

No matter how stupid she was, she understood the meaning of this sentence.
