Chapter 498 The most profitable domestic film
As the premiere of "Dream of Red Mansions" approaches, the crew of "The Invisible Guest" will also move to Hangzhou for filming.

Li Chen gave the crew a week off.

Chen Hong urged Li Chen several times, hoping that Wang Xueqi could return to the crew of "The Orphan of Zhao" as soon as possible.

Wang Xueqi is a few years older than Chen Kaige, but he is more energetic than Chen Kaige both physically and mentally.

Huang Xiaoming is competing between "The Lost Tomb" and "The Orphan of Zhao".

On the one hand, "The Lost Tomb" was a big hit, earning 1.45 million yuan in the first four days of its release.

On the other hand, the historical blockbuster that Chen Kaige spent three years polishing would also not be possible without Huang Xiaoming.

Huang Xiaoming is too busy to handle all the tasks and cannot afford to offend both sides, but fortunately there was an agreement in this regard when the contract was signed.

The baby was quite nervous, blinking his eyes, and his eyelashes fluttered like a palm leaf fan, which made Huang Xiaoming feel itchy: "Will you offend Director Chen by doing this? I heard he has a bad temper."

Huang Xiaoming held the big baby in his arms, and the big baby was rubbing against him restlessly.

Huang Xiaoming said confidently: "No."

Because he found that Sister Hong seemed to be particularly gentle towards Director Li recently.

Even the tone of speaking has become more consultative.

It’s not like she was on the set, where Sister Hong acted like a strong female producer.

But the big baby didn't think so much, and said coquettishly in Huang Xiaoming's arms: "But if you want me to choose, I will choose Director Li."

"When can I be in Director Li and Director Chen's drama? And you promised me that you would get me a permanent guest spot on the third season of Running Man!"

"Don't forget it!"

The big baby started to act coquettishly and clingy, but the words she said almost made Huang Xiaoming's limbs twitch and he passed out.

He just promised to "fight for it"!
How come when it comes to Big Baby, it becomes “get it”!
Huang Xiaoming slapped the big baby's butt hard, then carried the big baby into the bedroom: "You have to agree to become Mrs. Huang first!"

Li Chen led the "Dream of Red Mansions" crew to hold several fan meetings in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places.

Although Liu Yifei failed to appear, she also recorded a VCR. With the presence of Li Chen, the scene was still quite lively.

The draft of "Dream of Splendor" was flying all over the place.

After returning to Beijing, Miss Liu was determined to attend the premiere conference of "Dream of Red Mansions".

And for good reason.

She is already three months along and the doctor says she is in good health and should walk more.

They also brought up the story of the pregnant woman Wu Junru accompanying Chen Kexin on the red carpet to promote "If Love". Wu Junru was an elderly mother, and others were not afraid, so why should she be afraid?

Li Chen couldn't persuade her, so he had to bring up his mother-in-law.

As a result, Liu Xiaoli kicked the ball back to him.

Looking at Miss Liu's pitiful pouting face, even though he knew she was pretending, Li Chen still couldn't harden his heart.

"It's just this once, it won't happen again."

Miss Liu immediately smiled and kissed Li Chen on the cheek as if she had changed her face: "I knew you were the best."

Although he promised Miss Liu, Li Chen did not dare to be careless.

The bodyguards surrounded Miss Liu tightly inside and outside. If anyone rushed up at this time, they would be hugged and thrown to the ground.

Then Li Chen will regret it for the rest of his life.

Anyone without a media credential and invitation letter will not be allowed in.

On the day of the press conference, the media was surprised to find that Liu Yifei and Li Chen were together.

The premiere press conference of "Dream of Red Mansions" immediately turned into Liu Yifei's personal press conference.

"Yifei, will you quit the entertainment industry and focus on taking care of your husband and children?"

"Yifei, what did Director Li say about your pregnancy?"

"Yifei, are you and Director Li getting married because of pregnancy? Or was it planned in advance?"

The media at the scene were talking at the same time.

Zhu Yilong, Zhang Hanyun and others all had smiles on their faces; they had expected this kind of scene.

Zhang Hanyun glanced at Liu Yifei in a very covert way.

I secretly thought that she was so lucky.

Liu Yifei smiled at Li Chen and immediately said into the microphone: "Thank you for your attention. I can solemnly tell you."

"I will not quit. Film is my favorite career and I will stick to it to the end."

The news that Liu Yifei appeared at the premiere press conference of Dream of Red Mansions quickly spread online. "Liu Yifei will not quit the entertainment industry!" became a hot search.

The discussion of "Dream of Red Mansions" on Weibo has reached a new height.

Liu Yifei asked Li Chen for credit: "How is it? I didn't make things worse, did I?"

Li Chen would naturally not sabotage a pregnant woman: "How could you possibly be a hindrance, Pan'er? Without you, who will we be performing "Dream of Splendor" for?"

The scandal between Wang Xueqi and Fan Qiaoqiao suddenly became a hot topic.

It turned out that during the roadshow of "The Orphan of Zhao", the two of them went to grab the microphone on their seats at the same time and the photo turned into a photo of them holding hands.

Fan Qiaoqiao immediately became furious and turned into Fan Ye to shout to the media: If you have anything to say, come to me! Don't bring up my seniors anymore!
Fan Qiaoqiao raised his personal box office to 15 billion thanks to "Passengers", with the highest single-film box office being 6 million.

Naturally, it is the focus of media attention.

When asked whether she thought Chen's "The Orphan of Zhao" could surpass Li's "Passengers".

Chen Kaige moved his butt, feeling very uncomfortable.

Fan Qiaoqiao pretended to be in a dilemma and looked around, but he was actually prepared.

The sentence "the two directors no longer need to rely on box office results to prove anything" was just passed over lightly.

Chen Kaige breathed a sigh of relief and seemed very satisfied with Fan Qiaoqiao's answer.

The media did not ask any further questions, which was considered to be giving Chen Kaige some face.

The Grammy results are about to be announced, and Deng Ziqi is extremely nervous.

"Ip Man 3" grossed 4.45 million US dollars in box office revenue in one month after its release, with a global total box office of 1.6 million US dollars.

China Film Group and Yinghuang Films each held two celebration banquets in Hong Kong Island and the Mainland.

"Charlotte" finally broke 9 million and was finally taken off the screen.

All major film producers breathed a sigh of relief.

If the film is not taken down soon, it feels like the second half of this year will be the exclusive schedule of Rongchen Pictures.

Xinhua Daily News

"On the last day of November, the low-budget youth campus comedy "Charlotte's Troubles," which had been released for two months, earned 11 million yuan at the box office, setting a box office record for mainland films."

"Not only that, it also broke the comedy film record of 6350 million held by Stephen Chow's Kung Fu with a box office of 6127 million in Hong Kong Island."

"After Passengers entered the 6 million box office club, Li Chen made three consecutive leaps and became the only 9 million director in China."

"Because the investment in "Charlotte's Troubles" was only 4500 million yuan, most of the cost was made up of Li Chen's director fee and Liu Yifei's salary, plus Rongchen Pictures' 45% share, the film has become the most profitable domestic film in history."

"Happy Twist holds 3800% of the market share, and the share is about million yuan."

Every time Yu Dong watched "Charlotte's Troubles", he was more troubled than Charlotte.

Watching it once is like watching yourself making a fool of yourself again.

Now he just hopes to get over this article quickly and stop mentioning "Charlotte's Troubles".

The headquarters of Happy Twist is actually an inconspicuous building similar to a studio.

Although the profit sharing shares had already been calculated, when the news was reported by the media it became a fact.

Everyone at Mahua, from CEO Zhang Chen to actress Shen Tengmali, still felt like they were in a dream.

Previously, their annual revenue from Mahua was just over 10 million.

Note that it is revenue, not profit.

But for one movie, minus their 10% investment share, they earned three annual incomes. What a concept.

"Boss Zhang, we should have entered the market earlier. Even without Director Li's support, I believe that with our Mahua's strength, we can still make a name for ourselves!"

Peng Damo's words made everyone present's eyes shine with excitement.

"That's right, I, Charlotte, should have arrived on the big screen as a king long ago! Director Li should have invested in me earlier. Our Mahua!" Shen Teng laughed and took a deep breath.

He was given the middle finger of contempt by Ai Lun, Song Yang and others!

Everyone laughed.

Zhang Chen summed it up: "Director Li has given us a good start, and the rest is up to us."

"Are you ready?"

Everyone laughed and shouted: We are ready.

After making a joke, Song Yang took out the prepared script.

Everyone knows that when Song Yang and Allen were filming the basketball-over-the-crotch scene, Song Yang had this idea: "The Shameful Iron Fist"!
