Chapter 469: The First Director of Million

"Director Li, every time I interview you, I feel like I'm facing a leader." After the show was recorded, Jingwei and Li Chen joked.

In fact, it's not just her. Many of the Sixth Princess' staff have this feeling.

Often, the young director Li's foresighted judgments eventually become reality.

Today’s “Golden Decade”, “Triple Jump in Pay” and “Rocket-like Growth on the Screen” will probably become hot searches as soon as they are broadcast.

But no one doubted that he was dreaming.

The next day, several major dramas of Rongchen Pictures were announced to have release dates, and at the same time, "Cold War" also started filming in Hong Kong.

"On June 6, the film "Cold War" held a film press conference in Hong Kong Island. Director Liu Weiqiang, starring Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, Qin Hailu, Li Zhiting, Tang Wei, and other main creative staff of the film all appeared on the scene."

"One of the producers, Liu Dehua, revealed that the film will have a lot of thrilling scenes. The entire film will be fought from Central to North Point on Hong Kong Island, and chased from Causeway Bay to Happy Valley. It is a truly stunning battle!"

"And Andy revealed that Cold War will also be included in the Lunar New Year schedule."

Yang Mi's "Low IQ Crime" is scheduled to be released on August 8, and a female police poster was released at the same time.

Li Chen's "Charlotte" is scheduled to be released on September 9th, and the official website will simultaneously release the "Love and Dream" theme poster!
"Ip Man 3" is scheduled to be released on October 10.

The long-awaited "The Lost Tomb" by netizens is scheduled to be released on Thanksgiving Day, November 11.

At the same time, "Time Traveler" was officially announced to be released on Valentine's Day next year, which is the Spring Festival.

This time, netizens were enlightened.

"Little Leo, this is a sign of great accumulation. From this month on, her periods have become more regular than before!"

"According to conservative estimates, Rongchen Pictures will probably contribute at least 1.5 billion in box office revenue this year."

Netizens haven't reacted yet.

The Sixth Princess’ special program of “Passengers” was broadcast.

This interview with Li Chen immediately became a hot topic.

As expected, buzzwords such as "triple jump in actors' pay" and "the golden decade" immediately sparked heated discussions.

The actors were greatly encouraged, especially Mrs. Wang, who was working hard to make movies to pay off her debts.

She was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes and she called her best friend Qin Hailu in Hong Kong Island.

"Lulu, have you seen the trending searches? Is it really possible that the actor's pay tripled as Director Li mentioned?"

Qin Hailu didn't think it was a big deal.

She knew Liu Tao's thoughts very well, and he wanted to pay off the debt as soon as possible.

Although she wasn't sure, she certainly couldn't pour cold water on her best friend.

"How would I know? But Director Li has never made any mistakes in his predictions about our industry since our debut!"

Liu Tao didn't know what he was thinking of and sighed again.

"Don't think too much. I will recommend you to Director Li if there is a chance." Qin Hailu said stiffly.

Li Chen's interview is like gospel to actors and students from the three major universities.

Even the leaders of the Film Bureau told Han Sanping privately that Li Chen’s predictions about the trend of Chinese films were very forward-looking.

Han Sanping was made to mutter to himself that this kid Li Chen was really talking nonsense, extraordinary.

Every move and every word became the focus.

Li Chen finally had time to catch his breath.

We have started casting for "The Invisible Guest" again.

Tian Zhuangzhuang also took a holiday and was busy with the casting of "Chinese Police".

Upon learning that "The Invisible Guest" and "Chinese Police" will be open for casting, the actors were overjoyed.

Especially when they learned that the director of "The Invisible Guest" was Li Chen, the first-line actors in the circle were even more excited.

Zhang Ziyi was extremely anxious. Even before The Grandmaster was finished filming, her heart had already flown to The Invisible Guest.

The casting information was announced on the official website of Rongchen Films, and students from the three major universities were eager to try out.

There are no restrictions on newcomers for many roles in "Chinese Police".

Tian Zhuangzhuang was annoyed by the harassment. At the end of the month, Passengers was released for three weeks and the box office unexpectedly broke the 5.45 million domestic film box office record held by The Bow.

It reached an astonishing 5.8 million, and the global box office exceeded 3.3 million US dollars.

Ranked first in the history of Chinese-language films.

Even so, the daily box office is still around 900 million.

There is no doubt that the box office will exceed 6 million, and there is no suspense even if "God of Guns" is about to be released.

Li Chen will become the first member of the 600 million box office club.

All the big directors in the circle were silent, and netizens were amazed.

"Leo is so far ahead, he has completely left the other Palme d'Or winner behind."

"Yes, Director Chen has not yet entered the 2 million club. He has not even become a grandson, but Leo is about to become a grandfather!"

"Jiaozi is indeed Jiaozi!"

Hangzhou
In the crew of "The Orphan of Zhao", Chen Kaige had a stern face all day long.

Chen Kaige didn't take off his mask until he returned to the hotel.

"Hong, why do these people always use me as a reference? Shouldn't I be awarded the Palme d'Or?"

Chen Kaige's face turned red, and he felt as if he had suffered a great humiliation.

Chen Hong immediately stepped forward and held the old baby's head against her chest, gently stroking the broad back of her husband who had never grown up.

"Alright, alright, it's okay, it's okay, it's all over, it's all over, baby!"

Chen Kaige almost burst into tears of grievance.

Whenever there is any movement by Li Chen, netizens will pull him out for a walk like a mascot.

As a result, whenever he heard Li Chen's name, he would subconsciously become nervous.

Sanya
Feng Xiaogang was absent-minded today and made many NGs.

Shuqi knows Whisper best.

Director Feng also seemed to be affected by the horrific box office and aftereffect of Passengers.

"Director Feng, it's okay, I have confidence in you!" Shu Qi laughed with his mouth wide open.

"What do you mean by confidence? Just act well in your role." Feng Xiaogang insisted.

With box office data like that of Passengers, there's no guarantee that it won't get the key to an extension.

By then, I'm afraid that his "Earthquake" will be sandwiched between "Inception" and "Passengers"!
He suddenly felt uncertain about the goal of 500 million.

Especially since Li Chen is the financial backer of the theater chain, no one dares to offend Rongchen Pictures.

Jiang Wen called Li Chen first.

"You're flattering me too much! If my Bullet doesn't make over 500 million, I'll blame it on you!"

Jiang Wen was full of energy, and was obviously very satisfied with Li Chen's endorsement of his "Let the Bullets Fly" in Liu Gongzhu's "China Film Report".

I was also envious of the box office of Passengers.

Li Chen did not attend the premiere of "God of Guns".

Yu Dong felt relieved, but also broke out in a cold sweat.

Sina Entertainment News

"The stylish action movie "Triple Tap", directed by Derek Yee and starring Timmy Koo, Ng Yen-chu, Lee Joo-joo and Ah Sa, started its previews at 7pm on July 1 and ended on Friday night, July 6. It grossed 7 million yuan, including 2 million yuan on Thursday and 1350 million yuan on Friday."

"Yu Dong, president of Bona International Pictures Group, the producer and distributor of Triple Tap, expressed great satisfaction with this achievement."

"During the hot sales period of Passengers and the World Cup knockout rounds, it is not easy for Triple Tap to Win to achieve such a good result!"

At the same time, Li Chen picked up his mother-in-law and fiancée who were returning home at the airport.

"Director Li has been in the limelight recently. The actors' pay has tripled. You should raise mine first!" Liu Yifei and Li Chen sat in the back row very close.

Liu Xiaoli pretended not to notice the young girls' flirting.
