Chapter 509 The outcome is unpredictable
The most sensational news before the Spring Festival was the divorce of Weibo celebrity Yao Chen.
The so-called "loving model couples" in the entertainment industry cannot escape the seven-year itch.
Yesterday, a photo of Yao Chen covering her mouth and crying began to go viral on Weibo.
Because the netizen who posted the photo said that this was a photo of Yao Chen taken at the Civil Affairs Bureau in Xi'an when she was getting a divorce.
Fans and netizens criticized Ling Xiaosu, and public opinion overwhelmingly supported Yao Yao, who fainted in the toilet.
The scene moved Miss Liu and she couldn't help feeling compassion.
After seven years of marriage, the couple ended up in such a hurry that the woman cried bitterly.
As a woman, Ms. Liu is naturally on the weak side, just like everyone else.
"Let's not talk about whether this photo is real or not. Even if it is real, it could have been taken in the past and reposted by someone."
"You are being too sympathetic here. Perhaps the man should be the one who deserves the most sympathy."
Liu Yifei was greatly confused by what Li Chen said.
She knew that her husband's perspective and vision were always different from others.
He often goes against the grain when others are optimistic about something.
Moreover, my husband is an octopus, with tentacles in every corner of the circle, and thinking is his number one general.
"How do you know? Do you have inside information?" Liu Yifei asked.
If she divorced Li Chen one day, she swore that she would never cry like Yao Chen in this photo on the Internet.
"Xixi, remember this: once a celebrity couple divorces, the first party to take action is most likely to be the one in the wrong." Li Chen said with a smile.
Liu Yifei chewed on it carefully and immediately came to her senses: "You mean it's her PR team behind her who are making the first move to complain."
Li Chen laughed and pinched his wife's smooth face lovingly: "Ruzi is teachable, but I never said that."
Liu Yifei wrinkled her pretty nose and brushed away her husband's big hand like she was chasing a fly, saying coquettishly, "You're so annoying! You're just trying to be mysterious."
Although she said this, she still believed in her husband's judgment.
This Weibo celebrity usually interacts frequently with his fans on Weibo, but his fiancé is quite silent.
The field of public opinion has long been in her pocket.
Just one photo without any other words caused the online public opinion to become one-sided.
"Li Chen is right." Liu Xiaoli, who had just returned, heard the conversation between Li Chen and his daughter and unexpectedly interrupted.
"I'm back, Mom." Li Chen and Miss Liu stood up and said with a smile.
Liu Xiaoli nodded, walked over to the two of them and sat down, then said, "Xixi, a woman can be weak in front of her lover."
"But if one day the lover becomes a stranger, to whom will I show my weakness?"
It sounded like Liu Xiaoli was teaching her daughter by example, but when she said this in front of Li Chen, it seemed like she was also criticizing Li Chen.
After all, the divorce rate among couples in the entertainment industry is the highest among all industries.
Li Chen didn't say anything, and his expression didn't change when facing the gazes of the mother and daughter.
At this time, silence is the best answer. The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.
On the last day of the month, Guangguang's "The Happy Event" and Rongchen Pictures' and Yu Zheng Studio's "Palace" hit the big and small screens at the same time.
Sina Entertainment News
"The superstar New Year's greeting movie "The Best Wedding" produced by Guangguang, supervised by Huang Baiming, and directed by Chen Qingjia and Qin Xiaozhen will be released on January 1, wishing the national audience a happy New Year in advance."
The box office on the first day was 680 million, and the box office in the first week was 2520 million, which is considered a passing score.
At least Lao Wang is satisfied.
Compared with "The Wedding Banquet", "Palace" has become the hottest topic after "Dream of Red Mansions" since its launch.
Although the 2.1% viewership rating for the first episode was not as good as Dream of Red Mansions, it was also very impressive.
Yang Mi’s Weibo followers soared to 90, and various endorsements and commercial advertisements came like snowflakes.
In just a week, Yang Mi became the most popular young actress in China after Liu Yifei.
Completed the leap from the first-tier to the top-tier.
Yu Zheng Studio is also well known to the public.
The leading actor Feng Shaofeng was the talk of the town for a while.
The popularity of Yang Mi and Feng Shaofeng made the producers of "The Banquet" seem to have found the candidates for Xiang Yu and Yu Ji.
Starlight International, Wang Zhe, as the boss of Starlight, has a good relationship with Liu Yifei.
When Wang Zhe released an album, Liu Yifei also came to support him.
So the first choice for Yu Ji was naturally Liu Yifei.
But unexpectedly, when the script reached Li Chen, he vetoed it.
Now Liu Bang has already decided on Li Ming, but he has not yet made a choice between the King of Chu and Yu Ji.
"Palace" is a hit on the Internet, and the couple Yang Mi and Feng Shaofeng just filled this gap.
Yang Mi was happy when she heard that the producer of "The Banquet" approached her.
but
"Why did you think of me again when Yifei didn't want me anymore?" Yang Mi lamented with a bitter face.
"Mi Mi, think about it this way, apart from Liu Yifei, you are the only one in the circle who can play Yu Ji." Zeng Jia smiled and comforted her artist.
"You're right." Yang Mi's mood came and went quickly.
As long as she is not compared with Liu Yifei, she is currently the most dazzling female star in mainland China.
I'm afraid only Fan Qiaoqiao can slightly overshadow her. Even the leading actress of "A Step into the Past" back then, Miss Hong Kong, Sonija Kwok, had to play a supporting role in "Palace Lock Heart Jade"!
Compared with Yang Mi who was unaware of the blessings she had, Feng Shaofeng was much more excited.
Finally, she became famous overnight with "Palace" and successfully completed the transition from the TV circle to the film circle.
Du Qifeng's new work "Single Men and Women" held a press conference in Beijing.
The leading actress Gao Yuanyuan said that in the movie she had to have a love triangle with the "black and white roses" pair of Koo Tim Lok and Ng Yen Cho, and she only found out who would be her ideal husband between the two men more than ten days before the filming was completed.
Du Qifeng also said that he filmed "Single Men and Women" just to make money, otherwise he would have no more movies to shoot in the future.
People in the Hong Kong circle now understand the general trend.
It is known that it is difficult for a movie to have box office appeal in mainland China relying solely on the small number of people in Hong Kong.
Therefore, the heroines of each film rarely come from the Hong Kong circle.
Even the former beauty Zhang Baizhi who has returned to the entertainment industry has to play supporting roles to mainland actresses.
Li Chen's parents returned to Sanya after spending the Spring Festival in Beijing.
The two elders have become accustomed to the climate in Sanya and always feel that Beijing is too dry.
Jiang Wen's "Bullet" is different from Feng Xiaogang's "Earthquake" and "If You Are the One" in that it is popular in mainland China but deserted in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
But it is also hot-selling in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The cumulative box office of "Bullet" has exceeded 6.75 million yuan, and the box office in mainland China has been fixed at million yuan.
It became the third place in the domestic film box office.
Second only to "Charlotte's Troubles" and "Passengers", Douban's score is also shockingly high: 9.2.
Gong Li and Liu Dehua's "I Know Women's Heart" was released simultaneously in China and the United States on the third day of the Chinese New Year.
Tim revealed to Li Chen that there were only four theaters in Los Angeles showing the film, one less than when "Lust, Caution" was released.
The ticket price was only US$11.5 per ticket and the attendance was dismal.
The situation in China was even bleaker, with the first-day box office less than that of Guangguang's "The Wedding Planner", at only 550 million. It is unlikely that the final box office will even exceed million.
The producers of "Love Will Always Be Loved" released a killer hit, "Because of Love" and "Waiting for You to Love Me" instantly topped the major music charts.
The Grammy Awards are about to be announced, and everyone is looking forward to whether Xiao Jufei can defeat Lady Gaga and others and become the first Chinese singer to win a Grammy.
The nominations for the Academy Awards were announced, and "Cold War", "Detective Dee" and "Ip Man 3" became the favorites.
Sina Entertainment News
"The Hong Kong Film Awards announced the shortlist yesterday. Cold War received 13 nominations, and Detective Dee received 11 nominations."
"Ip Man 3 and Sword Rain received 10 and 8 nominations respectively."
"Liu Dehua is expected to win the Best Actor award again with "Cold War" and "Detective Dee."
Li Chen and Xue Xiaolu took the main creators of the two crews on Li Chen's private jet to Berlin, which became a hot topic.
Even the main creators, including veteran actors such as Wang Xueqi and Chen Daoming, were riding in a private plane for the first time.
Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, and Deng Chao started chatting about gossip.
"I heard that Director Li's plane is worth more than 3 million. There are many people in the industry who can afford it, but I'm afraid Director Li is the only one who can afford to sit in it."
Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao were quite impressed by Zhou Xun's words.
Without Director Li's status, buying a private jet would be considered a low-class way of showing off wealth.
Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao seemed to have no grudges against each other, as Deng Chao won the leading role in "Chinese Partners".
As time goes by, both of them have become popular candidates for the Berlin Film Festival Best Actor Award.
But when we meet again, we can just laugh it off.
Li Chen, Xue Xiaolu, Wang Xueqi and Chen Daoming talked about the Berlin Film Festival.
"Director Li means that our biggest rival this time is the Iranian film 'The Farewell'?" Wang Xueqi used 'we' instead of 'us'.
Obviously, when they go abroad, both plays represent China.
Everyone wants to win the award, but in front of everyone, unity is the most important thing.
"Yes, this year's Berlin Film Festival has shown an increasing focus on politics, as evidenced by the fact that the imprisoned Iranian director Jafar Panahi was invited to serve as a jury member of the film festival."
“I heard that Merkel will also attend the premiere of the film Welcome to Germany, which tells the story of the descendants of Turkish laborers who immigrated to Germany.”
"This attitude is worth pondering, but we are not without a chance of winning." Li Chen said with a smile.
Everyone nodded after hearing this. The judges included not only Iranians but also a fan of Director Li.
Moreover, several leading actors of "The Invisible Guest" highly praised the film.
Since the opening of the Berlin Film Festival, the front page headlines of the domestic entertainment section have been dominated by "The Invisible Guest" and "Time Traveler".
On the hot search list, the dresses worn by Li Qiaoqiao, Tang Yan, and Zhou Xun on the red carpet were dazzling.
Especially after the premiere of "Time Traveler" on the first day, it received unanimous praise from local media and film critics.
The German program praised the film as "the most touching comedy romance in the past decade."
Domestic media also reported extensively that it is the best romance film "wandering between art film and romantic comedy."
"Love Will Always Be My Love" which once held the upper hand was overtaken by "Time Traveler" on the eve of Valentine's Day and successfully regained market attention and audience expectations.
On the day of the premiere, Yang Siwei was surrounded by film producers from all over the world, and he couldn't even be seen.
On the 12th, "Time Traveler" held its premiere in Beijing.
Yu Miao and Wu Bin attended the media conference on behalf of the film crew.
