China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 357 A huge adventure
The rumor that Hualiu Company and Starlight Company have signed a cooperation agreement is like a powerful bomb.

The shock wave caused by the explosion spread to every corner of the entertainment industry.

Even ordinary netizens and ordinary viewers were shocked by the explosion of this bomb.

"Is this what Jing Tian said at the premiere of "A Little Thing About First Love", a big production with hundreds of millions of investment? She is indeed a sweet princess, she is indeed inhumane."

"Ms. Jing is indeed a famous Bai Fumei in the industry. She will truly fulfill her promise. She said she would invest several hundred million, but now she has actually invested 3 million."

"The name of the movie is The Great Wall? Or is it a historical and mythological blockbuster? Damn it, Director Li's steps are a bit big this time. But Director Li's movie is definitely worth looking forward to, and I've already prepared the money to buy movie tickets."

"An absolute masterpiece, this is going to break the record of "Man Jiang Hong"!"

This incident sparked discussions across the Internet.

The first person to bear the brunt and the biggest impact of this incident is Director Chen Kaige, who has been very proud of himself recently.

"If nothing else, "Gone Girl" should be the focus of all entertainment media today, right?
Yesterday, the box office of the movie reached 3 million. I am the only one in China who can make a literary film to reach this level. "

No, the accident has arrived.

After Chen Kaige achieved the huge achievement of ranking first in the box office of Chinese literary and artistic films, it was inevitable that he would feel a little inflated.

However, Chen Kaige didn't know that if nothing unexpected happened, there was a high probability that something would happen.

Based on his experience, today's entertainment media and self-media who like to chase hot topics will definitely praise him and his movies.

The post-production work of Li Yu's new drama "The King of the Northern Dynasties" is far from finished, and it has not yet been scheduled to premiere.

Chen Kaige smiled bitterly.

Chen Kaige was puzzled. When Chen Hong handed him a tablet and asked him to read the hot topics on Weibo, he understood.

"Old Chen, the protagonists today are not you, but Director Li and Miss Jing."

Chen Kaige was about to ask how Li Yu and Da Tiantian became today's protagonists.

To take a step back, even if "The King of the Northern Dynasties" really confirms its premiere date, it will not be as explosive as his literary film that broke the 3 million mark at the box office.

"Director Li and I have been friends since last year. Without him, this movie would not have been successful. I can accept that he stole my hot search. If the first place is gone, why not still have the second place!"

It turns out that this is how it feels to be robbed of the hot search when you have accomplished something big.

After thinking about it, Chen Kaige quickly let go of himself.

Although speaking like this is a bit hurtful to Chen Kaige, the facts are the facts, and what needs to be said still needs to be said.

Da Tiantian's Starlight family invested 3 million, which is indeed super big news in the entertainment industry.

Chen Hong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

No wonder Li Yu can steal his limelight. It turns out that the latest news about Li Yu's new movie "The Great Wall" has been leaked.

"Uh... our movie was indeed the second most popular search half an hour ago."

At this moment, he finally felt Wang Banbi's pain.

Hualiu Company and Starlight Company have not yet responded directly to this matter.

It's not like Li Yu deliberately sniped him, it was a rumor released by unscrupulous paparazzi.

Chen Hong smiled awkwardly.

"What do you mean? What do you mean we were in second place half an hour ago?"

Chen Kaige looked stunned.

Chen Hong operated the tablet and showed Chen Kaige a message released by China Film Group an hour ago.

In its public statement, China Film Group admitted that there is a film project like "The Great Wall".

Moreover, the information disclosed by China Film Group Corporation is much more detailed than the rumors. In the statement, it is clearly stated that "The Great Wall" is a series, divided into two parts. The investment is not the 3 million reported online, but the actual 5 million.

Finally, China Film stated that they would invest in "The Great Wall" and were discussing specific matters with Li Yu and relevant personnel from Hualiu Company.

"..."

Chen Kaige was completely numb.

Even if he is not allowed to be the protagonist, he is not even allowed to be Wang Banbi, right?
After feeling uncomfortable for a while, Chen Kaige accepted this reality.

Again, he personally admired Li Yu's talent very much, and he robbed him of the limelight when Li Yu stole the spotlight.

There will definitely be some regrets, but it’s nothing unacceptable.

He began to carefully browse the information that had been disclosed by "The Great Wall".

In the end, he couldn't help but sigh: "Director Li has great ambitions! He wants to open up a path that no one in the Chinese film industry has succeeded in."

An investment of 5 million yuan is certainly scary, but it cannot scare Chen Kaige.

As early as 05, his total investment in "The Promise" had reached 3.5 million.

The total investment for the two "Great Wall" films was only 5 million, and when divided, each one could not keep up with his "The Promise" many years ago.

05 million in 3.5 is more valuable than 5 million now. This is not an exaggeration at all, because there is something called inflation.

Compared with the 5 million investment, what surprised Chen Kaige more was Li Yu's exposed ambition.

If Li Yu's "The Great Wall" series succeeds, it may open up a new genre in the Chinese film industry.

It is undoubtedly a very huge contribution to the Chinese film industry and Chinese films.

On the other hand, if the "Great Wall" series fails and becomes a Waterloo battle in Li Yu's career as a director, it will also have a huge impact on Li Yu's career as a director.

Chen Kaige somewhat admired Li Yu's courage.

He could tell that Li Yu was going to do something big this time.

He wouldn't even dare to take such a risk if he were put in Li Yu's position.

"Why do I hear that your tone of voice doesn't sound very optimistic about Director Li?"

Chen Hong said doubtfully.

"It's not that I don't think highly of Director Li, it's mainly because no one has succeeded in this field before. It's extremely difficult to be a pioneer. If I were asked to join, I wouldn't have the confidence."

Chen Kaige smiled bitterly.

It's not that he doesn't have a high opinion of Li Yu. He has 100% confidence in Li Yu's ability. He just isn't very optimistic about the subject matter Li Yu chose.

In many cases, choice is far more important than effort and talent.

He couldn't say that the path Li Yu chose was wrong. He could only say that Li Yu chose a very difficult path, which was full of thorns and various challenges.

In fact, Chen Kaige's views on "The Great Wall" are the common views of many people in the industry.

Many people thought that Li Yu was floating.

Is it because Li Yu's fans and some netizens usually shout a few words that all Li Yu's works are excellent, and Li Yu really believes it, and then falls headlong into this big pit of unpredictable fortunes and misfortunes.

Li Yu has been so popular in recent years, and many people in the industry secretly hope that he will be unlucky.

This time the adventure of "The Great Wall" allowed them to see the possibility of Li Yu being unlucky.

Compared with these people who stay in the dark, the reaction of the anti-fans who dislike Li Yu is more direct.

They were quick to disparage and ridicule Li Yu and the film series "The Great Wall."
