Chapter 462: Miss Liu Draws a Line

"He went?" Han Sanping was a little surprised when he heard the secretary's report.

Back then, "The Duel" couldn't even get a filming permit, so it had to go to Hong Kong Island to get something for nothing.

Later, the name was changed to "The Spy Game" and it was barely released.

Anyone with a bit of common sense would not go to today's premiere, as that would be a slap in the face of the bureau.

Although Li Chen is young, he is more clever than a monkey at plucking a hair. How could he not understand this truth?

"Yes, Mr. Han, I also called Ms. Yang, and she said it was Director Li's idea."

Han Sanping understood everything, shook his head and laughed, "After all, he is young and full of energy. He actually went to my house. Interesting, interesting."

At the premiere of "The Spy", the uninvited guest Li Chen made the big and small Wang both sad and happy.

The big and small kings invited Chenglong, but Chenglong had already attained enlightenment, so how could he possibly come to such an occasion.

He only sent his new Seven Little Fortunes to support Gongli.

Wang Zhonglei accompanied Li Chen throughout the whole process, as if he was afraid that Li Chen would do something unexpected.

"Director Li, do you think I need to introduce this person to you?" Wang Zhonglei smiled as he looked at Gongli, who was wearing a black dress.

"Of course not. There should be everyone in the circle who doesn't know Miss Gongli." Li Chen's face was indifferent.

Gongli was slightly surprised, as no one in the country had called her that for a long time.

The younger generations in the circle either call her Teacher Gongli or Sister Gongli.

People like Wang Zhonglei all called her by her name.

However, thinking of his current status in the circle, Gongli immediately felt relieved.

"I've wanted to meet Director Li for a long time. I didn't expect to get my wish today. Director Li, please don't call me Miss Gongli. Just call me by my name." Gongli took the initiative to extend her hand.

Gongli was very sensitive to Li Chen's attitude towards her.

It is a distance that is neither far nor near, neither worship nor closeness.

Even Wang Zhonglei felt Li Chen's dullness.

Since Li Chen did not deliberately close the distance between them, Gongli did not take the initiative to move forward.

She still has this bit of pride.

Gongli was disappointed because Zhou Runfa came up and left without saying a word.

Now he was sure that Director Li really didn't like him.

In Li Chen's eyes, Gong Li today no longer has the stunning beauty that Qiuxiang in "A Chinese Odyssey: Part Two: Cinderella" had.

The brown skin and black dress make her look even more sturdy.

The premiere began soon, and the host seemed to have received instructions from Wang Zhonglei.

Resolutely not interact with Li Chen.

Yang Siwei was sitting in the back and wanted to laugh.

But you can hide from the monk but you cannot hide from the temple.

Upon hearing that Li Chen had arrived at the premiere of "The Spy", many media outlets rushed to the event and waited outside the CPPCC auditorium, waiting for Leo to speak.

The media all knew that after the premiere of "Passengers", it became a hot topic because of its distorted values.

There must be someone behind this who is fanning the flames.

It’s either Bona or Huayi.

Li Chen came to my house today, and this is the beginning of a good show.

After the premiere, Li Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhou Runfa.

Anthony Lanting, this name is a perfect combination of Chinese and Western elements, very imaginative.

The whole film is logically confusing.

Li Chen's smile made Wang Zhonglei, who was standing beside him, break out in a cold sweat: "Director Li, what are you laughing at?"

Li Chen really wanted to pat Wang Zhonglei on the shoulder, but then he thought better of it since they were not that familiar with each other yet.

"It's really hard for you, Mr. Wang. Fortunately, you chose to release it in China three months ahead of North America."

Wang Zhonglei was stunned. Before he could react, Li Chen had already stood up and left.

Wang Zhonglei quickly followed: "Director Li, wait, I'll take you there, I'll take you there."

"What do you mean, Director Li? There are quite a few media at the door, please don't disrupt our show." Wang Zhonglei's tone was already a little unfriendly.

Li Chen stopped and glanced at Wang Zhonglei.

Wang Zhonglei was a little nervous.

"Mr. Wang, I have to thank you for making Passengers a hot topic. How could I try to undermine you?" Li Chen smiled widely, and to outsiders, the two seemed to be having a pleasant conversation.

"You're welcome!" Wang Zhonglei waved his hand and blurted out, then he realized that he had let the cat out of the bag.

"No, no, no, Director Li, why are you thanking me? What does Passengers being a trending topic have to do with me?"

Li Chen sneered, no longer as gentle as before: "Boss Wang, we are all old demons who have practiced for thousands of years, so don't pretend to be harmless."

"I advise you to wait until the movie is released before you attack me next time. Then I may not think of you so soon."

After saying this, Li Chen didn't give Wang Zhonglei any more chance to talk more and walked out.

Yang Siwei, who was standing at the door, knew that Wang Zhonglei definitely did not get the upper hand just by looking at Wang Zhonglei's frustrated expression and her boss's expressionless face.

This time, Wang Zhonglei did not follow, but watched Li Chen walk out the door.

Wang Zhongjun came up quietly and asked, "What happened? Did the talks break down?"

"Brother, I have fallen out with Li Chen today!" Wang Zhonglei's face was solemn.

Wang Zhongjun, however, took it easy: "It's only a matter of time. Let's just let it go. I don't believe he can badmouth "The Spy" in front of the media today!"

Li Chen left the CPPCC auditorium.

The media blocked Li Chen and Yang Siwei. I just asked around and they were all low-profile people, like fans of the new Seven Little Fortunes and Gong Li.

They would only sigh: "Gong Li's acting is so good, the picture is so retro, etc."

"Director Li, what do you think of The Spy Who Came to Power?"

"Compared with your The Sound of the Wind, which one do you think is better?"

"Director Li, if the full score for The Spy is 10, how many points would you give it?"

The media rushed to take the microphone.

Li Chen smiled and said, "I just told Mr. Wang that it is wise to release "The Spy" in North America three months earlier."

The media looked at each other, seeming to understand and yet not understand.

Li Chen did not give the media a chance to ask further questions, and continued: "As for which is better or worse than The Sound of Wind, there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people, so let the audience judge for themselves."

"If I were to give it a score, I'd give it six. The acting skills of the actors are good."

"I'm sorry, Jean."

Li Chen and Yang Siwei separated the crowd and quickly left the scene.

"Six points, why do I feel that Director Li gave it so reluctantly? I almost failed!"

"I kind of understand what Director Li meant by that!"

"I'm afraid this drama will not be popular in North America."

Li Chen's comments were quickly reported.

"6 points for "The Spy"" became a hot search on Weibo.

Netizens were happy to watch the fun.

"Little Leo is going to fight to the death with Hua Yi, right? Are you here to slap him in the face?"

"I believe what Leo said. Weinstein probably knew that North America was going to be a flop, so he went to China to reap some profits first!"

"I am now more and more convinced that Huayi was behind the criticism of Passengers' values. Otherwise, Leo's behavior today is totally unreasonable."

Han Sanping was still awake so late and called Li Chen: "You, you are really eager to get revenge."

Li Chen laughed out loud, not caring at all: "They are allowed to shoot me from behind, but I am not allowed to attack them openly?"

Han Sanping smiled and said, "Don't worry, their play won't cause any waves!"

After hearing what Han Sanping said, Li Chen understood what he meant.

No wonder I haven’t seen any news about this drama on mainstream websites in recent days.

Tonight's premiere was even less star-studded.

Wang Zhonglei was furious when he saw the harsh comments from netizens online. Many netizens even directly stated that they would never be "leeks" and would rather watch pirated movies!
"Brother, you said he wouldn't speak badly of The Spy in front of the media!"

Wang Zhongjun remained silent. He did not expect Li Chen to be so direct.

Wang Zhongjun ignored his brother and quickly arranged for someone to issue a statement to the public, dispelling any connection with the trending search for "Passengers".

He also accused Li Chen of using his reputation and influence to deliberately suppress "The Spy Who Came In" for the sake of his own film "Passengers"!
This is bullying and monopolizing the market!
Now the circle is lively.

The two largest film and television companies in the mainland are openly confronting each other.

The stars of the two companies form a sharp contrast.

The stars of Huayi dared not say a word and just watched the show in silence.

Even the leading actors of "The Spy" Gong Li and Chow Yun-fat remained silent.

Li Chen said that the actors’ acting skills were good, so he shut them up.

As for the script, they are all veteran actors with many years of experience. How could they not know the quality of the script?

If I speak out now, I'll probably be drowned in the saliva of netizens when the film is released.

The artists under Rongchen Pictures are completely the opposite.

Yang Mi took the lead and posted this sentence on Weibo: "The wicked are the first to complain!"

The comments under Yang Mi's Weibo were all like bees buzzing, praising Yang Mi for being a real man and worthy of being the responsible Little East Evil.

Tang Yan followed closely: "Isn't monopoly illegal? Or he is slandering me!"

Yang Mi replied to Tang Yan’s Weibo almost immediately: The thief is crying “Stop thief!”
Even Liu Yifei couldn't sit still. She couldn't bear the fact that her fiancé's artists had spoken out, but she, his fiancée, was still pretending to be deaf and dumb.

As a result, Liu Yifei became even more vigorous!
Let Liu Xiaoli make a phone call directly.

Wang Zhonglei felt like his lungs were about to explode. After hanging up the phone, he couldn't bear it any longer and smashed the phone to pieces.

My wife was so scared that she was in a state of panic.

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

Wang Zhonglei gasped, his face livid: "I'm fine!"

After saying that, he picked up the phone and made a call.

"Brother, Liu Xiaoli called me just now!"

"She said that in order to avoid embarrassing everyone, Liu Yifei will cash out our shares after one year!"

Drawing inferences from one example, Wang Zhonglei said, "Brother, do you think Yang Mi, Yang Siwei, and Tang Yan will follow suit and sell out their shares of our company?"

Wang Zhongjun was silent for a while before saying, "It's very likely!"

Both brothers were silent. It was simply disgusting and disgusting. It was so disgusting!
Li Chen was touched: "Xixi, it's too early!"

Miss Liu was confused and innocent: "Too early? If you love someone, you should express it as soon as possible!"

Well, Miss Liu said that this is love.

Then Li Chen could only express it through actions.

I immediately ordered the latest model of Ferrari for Miss Liu.

The next day, the first day box office of "Passengers" was released: 3650 million!
