Chapter 521 Prelude to Collapse
After earning 1.35 million yuan in the first week, "The Invisible Guest" grossed 2.8 million yuan in two weeks.

The films have also begun to be released in North America and Europe.

Wang Changtian called and told Li Chen that Guangguang's another masterpiece "Painted Wall" would be released on National Day.

"Painted Wall" was reincarnated from "Painted Skin". Wang Changtian was afraid that Li Chen would feel bored, so he gave Li Chen a heads-up in advance.

Some things seem to be destined, just like in "Painted Skin" Li Chen did not choose Chen Kun and Xiaoyanzi.

However, Chen Jiashang still chose Chen Kun and Xiao Yanzi to star in "Painted Skin".

At the same time, another magical blockbuster scheduled for the National Day also released a "shocking" poster that made people stunned.

There is only one person on the poster, top, bottom, left, right, and that is Jet Li who was initially said to be a guest star.

As for the white snake, if you don't look carefully, you can't even see the snake scales in the sea.

Netizens were shocked.

Even the media changed the name of the drama when reporting on this blockbuster: "Legend of the White Snake: Fahai"!
Lu Zheng sent the invitation to the premiere of "Warring States" to Rongchen Pictures early on.

Yang Siwei’s Yi Xin Media also received Lu Zheng’s invitation.

Jingtian also sent a text message to Li Chen, asking him if he had time to attend the premiere of "Warring States" to be held in Beijing on the 6th of next month.

Yang Siwei happened to be visiting a pregnant woman, so he brought a bunch of invitations with him.

There are the Hong Kong Film Awards, the Shanghai Film Festival, the Magnolia Awards, and a host of other events and movie premieres.

"Boss, Mr. Lu looks very high-spirited. On the 12th, the movie "Warring States" will be released simultaneously in North America and China."

"Three days in advance, the vice president of Starlight announced the slogan of 300 million box office. He was quite sensible and didn't mention 500 million all the time."

Yang Siwei and Liu Yifei sat together, holding a tablet and pointing at Sun Honglei in the promotional photo of "Warring States".

They both enjoyed themselves.
Recently, the publicity for "Warring States" has been overwhelming.

There are over a thousand special effects shots, and it is known as the number one domestic blockbuster.

With an investment of 1.5 million yuan, Guo Degang's role as Emperor Zhou and Kim Hee Sun's role as the second female lead are quite a big gimmick.

But what people talked about most was the gay relationship between two handsome men, Sun Honglei and Wu Zhenyu.

Even the film producers used this as a gimmick to promote the film.

Sun Honglei is very satisfied with his own look and said frankly: This is the Sun Bin in my mind.

In Li Chen's opinion, Sun Honglei's shocking look seems to make up for the regrets of "Three Guns".

Liu Yifei and Yang Siwei both noticed Jing Tian's awkward position.

Although she is the C position on the poster, compared with the status of others on the poster, none of them is lower than her.

"Brother Li, are you really not going to attend the premiere?" Miss Liu suddenly imitated Jingtian's voice in a sweet voice and teased her husband.

Yang Siwei lowered her head to hide her smile, but her slightly trembling shoulders revealed her true colors.

Li Chen was firm: "No, Mrs. Li is pregnant and needs someone by her side. Sorry."

"Yang Siwei, is it funny?"

"Ah? I didn't laugh, boss!" Yang Siwei's face changed immediately.

Miss Liu rolled her eyes at her husband and continued chatting with Yang Siwei: "I hope this play goes smoothly."

"Otherwise, Brother Li's little sister will have a hard time."

"How many good sisters do you have?" Miss Liu hummed this annoying song again.

Li Chen stood up and went upstairs to get some quiet time.

When a woman is pregnant, she is bound to be suspicious, and celestial beings are no exception.

The next weekend, Han Saping set up a plan and asked Li Chen to come out and have a chat.

Li Chen went there happily.

Ren Zhonglun came to Beijing for a meeting, and Han Saping called him along.

Ren Zhonglun had no suspicion of anything and thought it was just a way to keep in touch.

But halfway through the meal, Ren Zhonglun gradually came to his senses.

Han Sanping and Li Chen talked about several major domestic film festivals and the three major television awards.

Speaking of Magnolia, Han Sanping casually said, "This is the first time you have taken the initiative to sign up for Magnolia."

"Don't be like Jinji, go there once and never go back!"

Li Chen was more casual: "That can't be done. Director Ren is a veteran of SMG. With him around, the Magnolia Awards will never be as bad as the Golden Rooster Awards." "Come on, Director Ren, I'll toast you a glass. I hope our Magnolia Awards will get better and better."

Ren Zhonglun realized it belatedly and raised his glass and clinked it with Li Chen's.

A few people chatted and talked about "Dreams of Splendor". When talking about "Dreams of Splendor", Han Saping also sighed and lamented that Li Chen did everything in a brilliant way.

"Dreams of Splendor" was recently exported to Japan, South Korea and Singapore, creating a cultural storm in Asia.

In particular, the performance of the leading actress Liu Yifei received widespread praise.

Her beauty and acting skills have been recognized by international audiences.

With the praise and support of the official media, "Dreams of Splendor" was collected by the National Library of Editions, and Douban rated it with 8 people, with a high score of 8.5.

It can be said that it was a double harvest of word-of-mouth and high ratings.

It was not until the three of them left that Ren Zhonglun realized on his way back that today's meal was a double act between Han Saping and Li Chen.

The meaning is obvious, which is to make "Dream of Red Mansions" and Liu Yifei shine at the Magnolia Awards.

If they fail to do it themselves, Rongchen Pictures' future projects, whether movies or TV series, will probably have nothing to do with Shanghai Film Group and Tomato TV.

After realizing this, Ren Zhonglun cursed in his heart: "What a jerk you are, Han Saping!"

After returning to Shanghai, Ren Zhonglun informed several senior executives of SMG.

"Mr. Ren, you also know that "The Happy Past of the Old Ma Family", "Du Lala's Promotion", and "The Righteous Sea" are all dramas we invested in ourselves."

"Chen Shuo and Zhang Jiayi are also our contracted artists and their acting skills are beyond reproach. Also..."

Ren Zhonglun interrupted the other party before he could finish speaking: "I understand everything you said."

"But don't forget that this year's Magnolia Awards opened online voting for the first time, and Liu Yifei was far ahead in the vote count."

"Also, the dramas produced by Noon and Rongchen Films must be broadcast on our Dragon TV!"

"The most important thing is that Dreams of Splendor is exported to Southeast Asia, which is very important to them."

"During my meeting this time, the General Administration also mentioned high-quality dramas like Dream of the Red Chamber that spread ancient traditional culture. We should strongly support them!"

Ren Zhonglun took a breath and suddenly reacted.

Was the sudden naming of the General Administration also the result of Li Chen’s efforts behind the scenes?

This guy is really willing to spend any amount of money to support his wife.

"The General Administration also named me?" The other party was shocked.

If Ren Zhonglun hadn’t made this phone call today and explained the pros and cons.

This year's Magnolia Awards became a one-man show for SMG's own entertainment.

Beijing News
"The premiere of "Warring States" starring actor "undermines" Sun Honglei, give himself 20 points!"

"Yesterday, the premiere of the movie "Warring States" was held in Beijing. The leading actor Sun Honglei led Jing Tian, ​​Jin Xishan, Wu Zhenyu, Nakai Kiichi and other leading actors to make a collective appearance."

"Although director Jin Chen said that "Warring States" is a "smart blockbuster", the producer also made a bold statement on the spot that "the box office will be 3 million yuan."

"But the two leading actors were not very cooperative. Sun Honglei said frankly that his performance was very poor and could only score 20 points at most!"

"Wu Zhenyu revealed that after he accepted the role, the script was changed many times, and he only found out that Jing Tian was the leading actress when he arrived at the set."

Li Chen did not attend the premiere of "Warring States", and Jing Tian's disappointment was beyond words.

"Beauty Boss" didn't come, and neither did "Warring States".

Coupled with Sun Honglei and Wu Zhenyu's on-site sabotage, Jingtian felt that something bad was going to happen.

Wu Zhenyu actually said frankly that he originally thought the leading actor was Kim Hee-sun, but only found out it was Jing Tian when he arrived at the scene. He had never known Jing Tian before.

Moreover, Wu Zhenyu revealed a big piece of news during his conversation.

The pay for his role in "Warring States" was very generous!

Lu Zheng was very angry and felt that he had been taken advantage of.

"Fuck, they are all ungrateful bastards!" Jingtian was about to knock on the door when he heard his uncle's roar.

Jingtian was so scared that he backed out immediately.

After returning to his room, Jingtian suddenly reacted.

Is it possible that the reason why Sun Honglei and Wu Zhenyu did what they did at today's premiere and why Brother Li didn't come to the premiere are due to the same reason?

The more Jingtian thought about it, the more frightened he became. He quickly picked up his phone and called Li Chen.
