China Film Report
"Charlotte's Troubles" made great strides during the National Day holiday, breaking many records. Li Chen strongly supports Happy Twist, and Chinese films have added a new member."
"During the 2010-day National Day holiday in 7, many movies were released, including "Charlotte's Troubles", "Under the Hawthorn Tree", "Detective Dee", "Fist of Fury", and "Sword Rain".
"The Chinese film market generated more than 9.5 million yuan in revenue during this period, an increase of more than % compared with the same period last year."
"'Charlotte's Troubles' won the box office championship with 3.97 million yuan, becoming the box office champion of this year's National Day, while Xu Ke's 'Detective Dee' ranked second with 1.2 million yuan."
"Li Chen became the first director in China whose individual works have box office revenue exceeding 15 billion yuan."
"Liu Yifei also became the first female star in China to have a box office of over 20 billion yuan."
Phoenix News
"'Charlotte's Troubles' dominated Hong Kong Island with a box office of 4200 million during the seven days of National Day, leading the National Day box office."
“The second and third places were “Ip Man” with 1400 million and “Detective Dee” with 1200 million.”
Liu Yifei, who was far away in Los Angeles, called Li Chen immediately after learning the news.
"Congratulations to Director Li."
"Congratulations, Miss Two Billion."
"What's Miss Twenty Billion? That's so ugly." Liu Yifei's heart was moved and she missed Li Chen who was far away in China more and more.
"Hahaha, that sounds bad? Some people are crazy about this title. It's the market's recognition of you. It's harder than climbing to the sky for an actress with no commercial value to become popular."
"If it's purely based on acting skills, then you have to work hard."
"Do you miss me?" The phone suddenly became quiet, and a strange feeling lingered in the hearts of both of them.
"Yes, of course I do."
"How much do you miss me?" Liu Yifei was in a happy mood, and even the notes in the phone seemed to be dancing along.
"How much do you want it?" Li Chen drawled out his voice as if he was considering the answer.
Liu Yifei was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
"There are tens of thousands of people who miss you, but I am worth tens of thousands of them."
"Really?"
"Replace it if it's fake!"
"Then I'll tell you a secret. I, I'm pregnant." Liu Yifei's voice became smaller and smaller.
Li Chen only heard one sentence: I'm pregnant, and he didn't hear a word of what came after that.
"What's wrong with you?" Before Li Chen could react, Miss Liu just said three words: I'm pregnant.
There is no other unnecessary nonsense afterwards.
But as soon as he asked the question, Li Chen was stunned.
"You...what did you say?"
Liu Yifei wanted to say more, but the phone was snatched away by Liu Xiaoli.
"I'll talk to him!"
"Mom!" Liu Yifei shouted anxiously.
"Li Chen, I think you should come to Los Angeles. We need to have a good talk. Xixi is pregnant!"
With a "bang", Liu Xiaoli heard the sound of glass breaking coming from Li Chen's side.
"Hello, hello, Li Chen? Are you okay?" Liu Yifei also heard it and hurriedly tried to grab the phone.
Li Chen quickly responded: "Ah, it's okay, I'm fine, Auntie, I was just too excited and knocked over the teacup."
Liu Xiaoli pressed the speakerphone button to prevent her daughter from getting upset again.
"Then what are you going to do now?"
It was hard to describe the feeling in Li Chen's heart at this moment. Miss Liu and I had a child so soon.
It seems that it must be the effect of "My Heart Will Go On" that night.
"Auntie, don't worry, I will arrange everything properly."
"Even if there was no surprise of Xixi being pregnant, I was planning to get the marriage certificate with Xixi on November 11, Thanksgiving Day."
"I had someone calculate it that day and it was a good time to get married."
"As for the wedding ceremony, I mean we should wait until Sissi gives birth. Otherwise it will be too hasty, and Sissi may not be willing to do it when she is pregnant."
Li Chen felt a little scared. It has been almost two months since August 25th.
Fortunately, the fighting scenes for "The Hunger Games" were completed in Hawaii at the beginning of the month.
Knowing that Li Chen had a positive attitude, Liu Xiaoli didn't know what to say.
He handed the phone to the two children and left his daughter's bedroom.
"When did you know?" "National Day!"
"October 1st? Then why didn't you tell me earlier!" Li Chen almost yelled.
Miss Liu immediately raised her voice: "Why are you yelling?"
Li Chen immediately wilted, his anger having no place to vent, the pregnant woman is the biggest person in the world.
Li Chen tried her best to smile like an old lady: "How dare I yell at you? I'm blaming myself for being so careless."
"How come I haven't noticed that you've become sentimental in the past ten days?"
Only then did Miss Liu become gentle.
Not to mention that Li Chen was extremely obedient to Miss Liu.
Chen Kaige also can't live without you, Chen Hong.
Chen Kaige felt his blood pressure soaring.
“Rainbow.”
Chen Hong hurried into the study room and saw that Chen Kaige looked pale. She asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Chen Kaige quickly grabbed Chen Hong's hand: "No, it's okay, as long as you are here."
Chen Hong only felt that her hands were cold and a little trembling, and she secretly thought that she was frightened.
Another glance at the news about "Charlotte" on the computer screen made everything clear to me.
Fortunately, this "Charlotte" was not released during the Lunar New Year holiday.
Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
Now it is no longer a question of whether there is Liang or not, but both Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick are under the Rongchen Pictures.
Yimou and Yili have become the undisputed leaders in the circle.
Even Chen Hong no longer had the calmness she had before when she met Li Chen.
Her husband can make money by building cities, but it's not as fast as others who can turn stones into gold.
Chen Hong gently handed the water to her husband.
"Dove, Li Chen is no longer the Li Chen of the past. Didn't Zhang Yimou also join his army?"
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You're already this old. You should be more open-minded. Didn't Xu Ke's Detective Dee also fail miserably?"
"It didn't win any prizes in Venice, and the domestic box office has become a supporting role to Charlotte."
"Look at Xu Ke, he is actively working on the next installment of 'Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate'."
Chen Kaige listened attentively, and his wife's soft words of comfort, like a trickle of water, made him feel peaceful.
After the National Day, the box office of "Charlotte" is still strong, and it continues to dominate the daily box office with around 5100 million per day.
Except for "Detective Dee", all other films in the National Day holiday were defeated, including Zhang Yimou's "The Hawthorn Tree".
The cinema chain's reason is very legitimate. Your attendance rate is less than 20%, so why don't I vacate the theater for "Charlotte".
Although "Eclipse" did not perform as well as "New Moon" in North America, it still earned $1.4 million at the opening box office.
Li Chen went back to Beijing to visit the company.
"Ip Man 3" and "The Lost Tomb" have already started to develop simultaneously.
Zhang Jin was still humble when he saw Li Chen: "Director Li, congratulations on breaking the record again."
Li Chen waved his hand and motioned Zhang Jin to sit down.
"how are things?"
"Very good. Thank you Director Li for your support."
"I said, don't say such things anymore. I will give you a chance, but you have to seize it yourself." Li Chen said with a smile.
Zhang Jin suddenly thought of Mr. Yu from Bona, and felt grateful for meeting a noble person.
Otherwise, how could he marry Cai Shaofen so easily, and how could he achieve success in both love and career.
"No matter what, without Director Li, there would be no Zhang Jin today."
This was true, and Li Chen did not argue much.
By the third part of "Ip Man", at least Zhang Jin had not taken the initiative to ask the company about his salary.
Of course, the company didn't treat him unfairly.
If he was like Zhen Zidan in his previous life, then Li Chen could only lament that he was blind.
In the evening, Li Chen was invited to attend a small celebration banquet prepared for him by Han Sanping.
