Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 102 Breaking the Record!
As Li Chen and a group of leading actors walked onto the stage, host He Jiong began to interact with the five leading actors, director Li Chen, as well as the guests and fans at the scene.

The first person to ask was director Li Chen.

"Director Li, we have all seen Painted Skin. This is your first big production. What was your original intention when you conceived Painted Skin?"

The four tables in the first row below the stage were occupied by big directors and CEOs of film and television companies.

Li Chen stopped his gaze at Lao Mouzi, who was in the center position, and said with a smile: "If we really want to talk about the original intention, it must have been forced by Director Zhang."

Zhang Yimou and the guests in the audience all laughed out loud. Only big directors like Li Chen would dare to disturb Zhang Yimou.

However, among all the great directors, Zhang Yimou has the most down-to-earth temperament, unlike some people.

He Jiong laughed and said, "What are you saying, Director Li? Was it Director Zhang who forced you to shoot Painted Skin?"

"That's right. Director Zhang's Hero came out of nowhere and opened the door to Chinese-language blockbusters."

"Look at the directors present today. Let me make a prediction. Apart from Director Chen's The Promise and Director Feng's The Banquet, my Painted Skin can barely be considered one."

"There is no guarantee that you will not challenge Director Zhang in the future. After all, a soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier."

There was laughter and applause at the scene.

Jiang Wen laughed out loud, and the more he looked at Li Chen, the more he became angry with him.

There was a green light in Lutaro's eyes.

Lao Mouzi also applauded and encouraged in a masterly manner
Only Director Chen seemed a little disapproving. Perhaps it was because Li Chen placed Zhang Yimou in a high position that made him unhappy.

He Jiong smiled and said, "Director Li, do you also want to challenge Director Zhang?"

Li Chen joked, "Me? I must want to compete with you seniors, otherwise why would I come to the Lunar New Year movie?"

Everyone below laughed again.
Xu Zheng, Huang Bo and others sat at the same table.

Huang Bo applauded and laughed, "Director Li is very heroic, and looks like a calm and composed young master."

Xu Zheng also applauded and laughed, "Don't mention it, Director Li really has this ability. This year's Lunar New Year movie is going to be great."

I added in my mind: Lost in Thailand is not a pushover either!

The people sitting at Wang Zhonglei's table were also big names, including Liu Dehua, Xiang Huaqiang, Yu Dong, and Lu Taro.

"Andy, who do you think will have the last laugh during this year's Lunar New Year holiday?"

"Don't mess with me. Xiaogang didn't come to the Lunar New Year movie this year, so you set a trap for me. I won't fall for it."

Hahahaha, Wang Zhonglei laughed so hard and didn't ask any more questions.

Yang Siwei, Fan Qiaoqiao, Liu Yifei, Li Yu, Zeng Jia, Sun Li, and Deng Chao were sitting in the third row, also chatting and laughing.

Miss Liu smiled and said, "Siwei, your Director Li is quite ambitious."

Fan Qiaoqiao's mind raced, and he joked, "Yifei, does Director Li have any ambitions towards you?"

When Fan Qiaoqiao asked this question, everyone at the table immediately looked at Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei was a little impatient and always felt that something was wrong with Fan Qiaoqiao.

Just now I asked Siwei indirectly about her and her boyfriend.

Now he asked her directly in front of everyone at the table.

With her eyes rolling, Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Then you have to ask him."

Deng Chao and Sun Li looked at each other. The happiness they had filmed this year had already bloomed like flowers, and they were in perfect harmony with each other.

It seems that the rumors about Director Li's rumored girlfriend are likely to be true.

"Yifei said it well, Xiao Fan, you should go ask Director Li. I'm also curious, hahaha." Deng Chao took the initiative to help Liu Yifei out.

Yang Siwei also laughed and said, "Brother Chao, my boss has already answered this question, you guys have forgotten it!"

Fan Qiaoqiao felt a little uncomfortable under Liu Yifei's scorching gaze.

However, she became more and more certain that her guess was correct. Although she was careless and did not admit it, she did not deny it either.

Thinking of this, Fan Qiaoqiao felt a little depressed.

She is confident that her looks are as good as Liu Yifei’s, but her resources are far behind her.

And Liu Yifei’s biggest advantage is that she is younger than her.

I just don't believe it. I, Fan Qiaoqiao, can make it without relying on anyone!

Fan Qiaoqiao made up his mind secretly.

When the applause died down, Li Chen said, "Just kidding. Actually, I talked about the original intention of filming Painted Skin on the movie channel."

"I just wanted to find a different way to remove the horror elements and still show the moral of the story in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio that warns the world."

"That's why Painted Skin came about, and you've seen the ending."

"For a piece of good-looking human skin, Wang Sheng's family was destroyed and he was deserted by his friends and relatives."

"But most people will not feel scared or terrified. Instead, they will remember the pitiful Peirong and the lively and graceful Xiaowei."

Next, He Jiong interacted with several leading actors.

When talking about Li Qiaoqiao, He Jiong smiled and said, "Qiaoqiao, this is the first time for you and Zhou Xun to attend the three major European film festivals. What do you think?"

Li Qiaoqiao glanced at Zhou Xun and Li Chen standing beside him and said with a smile: "It should be a bit regrettable. It would be great if the Best Actress could also lay a double yolk egg."

Everyone at the scene burst into laughter, and Li Chen couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that Li Qiaoqiao was quite good at speaking.

He Jiong then asked another question.

"Director Li, did you hear what Qiaoqiao was regretting?"

"I heard it, and I think she's right."

"Then you also think that Luo Luo's acting skills are not inferior to Zhou Xun."

Zhou Xun laughed and joked: "The host is not kind. Isn't this forcing Director Li to lie with his eyes open?"

Hahahaha, many people at the scene applauded Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun thinks that his acting skills are superior to others.

These female stars are all sharp-tongued and none of them is willing to be outdone.

The question was thrown to Li Chen.

Zhou Xun and Li Qiaoqiao both cast their gazes on Li Chen's face, with a sense of anticipation in their hearts.

Li Chen smiled and said, "Whether I open my eyes or close them, I will never tell lies. This is something that many netizens can attest to."

"Director Li is a real person." Movie fans from all over the country were already cheering in the audience.

"Thank you fans for speaking up for me."

"Then Director Li, you must not let down the fans' high hopes. What do you think, Qiao Qiao and Zhou Xun?" He Jiong pressed on.

After a pause, Li Chen said, "In my eyes, Zhou Xun is the kind of actor who was blessed by God and has extraordinary talent."

"A pair of eyes that can speak, full of drama!"

Many directors in the audience agreed with Li Chen’s words.

Zhou Xun laughed and said, "Director Li, do you mean that I'm not working hard enough?"

Li Chen shook his head and chuckled, ignoring Zhou Xun's playfulness.

Li Qiaoqiao still had that smile on his face.

"Qiao Qiao is a gifted talent by his ancestors. Through his own hard work, he can also grasp the characteristics of each character very well."

"Even without me, the two of them would have walked on the red carpet of the three major European hotels sooner or later."

Applause broke out again.

"Thinking, Director Li is such a great eloquent speaker," Zeng Jia said.

"Yes, my sister has great respect for Director Li." Li Yu also smiled.

Highly praised? I wouldn't have done something bad to my boss online a while ago! Yang Siwei thought to himself.

Until the end, Han Sanping and Wang Changtian took the stage as the other two producers of Painted Skin.

Han Sanping stood in the center, Li Chen and Wang Changtian stood on the left and right, and the leading actors all stood on Li Chen's side.

Han Saping was so proud of himself that he started to brag.

"I know everyone is curious about the sales volume of Painted Skin in Venice." "Here, on behalf of the producer of Painted Skin, I can proudly tell you."

"Painted Skin once again set a record for the overseas sales of Chinese-language films!"

“Total transaction volume: US$7125 million! The number of countries and regions introduced has exceeded 55, and this number is still increasing!”

There was an uproar at the scene and thunderous applause.

Zhang Yimou also had a smile on his face, but Director Chen's smile was a little unpredictable.

Even a fool could tell that Lu Tailang was forcing a smile, but Jiang Wen's eyes were shining and he seemed to be moved.

"This year marks the 100th anniversary of Chinese cinema, and the Lunar New Year film season is also a time of great prosperity. I hope that in the coming year, we filmmakers will continue to work hard and create greater glories!"

The premiere ended with Han Sanping's passionate look into the future.

Reporters from major media outlets and portal websites began to interview the guests on the scene.

On their way back, Chen Kaige and his wife felt more confident.

After watching the premiere of Painted Skin, Chen Kaige believes that the premiere of The Promise will be even more dazzling.

Although there may be some differences in content from Painted Skin, after all, several parts of the Painted Skin premiere were very eye-catching.

Whether it was the opening classical dance or the amazing magic show by the American team.

But in terms of momentum, Wuji will definitely beat Huapi.

Chen Hong was a little worried: "Don't do it, our premiere, do you think Li Chen will say anything?"

Chen Kaige smiled confidently and said, "You are overthinking, Hong. Li Chen is a smart man, and don't you believe in our Wuji?"

That was true, but Li Chen’s previous remarks still made Chen Hong feel a little uneasy.

At the premiere of A World Without Thieves, no consideration was given to Hua Yi and Feng Xiaogang's face at all.

"Painted Skin sold for a staggering $7125 million in Venice, and Rongchen Pictures' profit this year may exceed $1 million!"

"The Asian premiere of Painted Skin cost 500 million yuan, and the scene was full of stars, and the million large-scale magic show attracted everyone's attention."

"Li Chen said that Painted Skin is targeting the Lunar New Year box office, hoping to compete with his predecessors."

"Rumored girlfriend Liu Yifei made a high-profile appearance at the premiere of Painted Skin."

"Li Qiaoqiao is confident that his acting skills are not inferior to Zhou Xun."

"Li Chen commented on Li Qiaoqiao and Zhou Xun, predicting that they would both step onto the international stage sooner or later."

The next day, various headlines about the premiere of Painted Skin filled the entertainment section of the portal website.

Reporters' interviews with guests and fans at the event were also released.

A fan said frankly: "Zhou Xun is breathtakingly beautiful, and Li Qiaoqiao's pitiful appearance is unforgettable. It's so good. I will watch it again when it is released."

Several major cinema chains also took action and started pre-sales of Painted Skin.

Judging from the pre-sale data feedback from major cinema chains, the first-day box office of Painted Skin is likely to break the domestic box office record set by "The Sunken Ship".

As the publicity and production company of the film, Guangguang has put in all its efforts.

Its TV programs, websites, and publications are completely and unreasonably covered with painted skins.

The "Entertainment Live" program is known as the news broadcast of the entertainment industry.

It also provides exclusive coverage of the filming footage, behind-the-scenes creations and actors of Painted Skin without distinction.

China Film Group also spared no effort in the final mobilization and publicity.

Yang Siwei is also very creative and has put what he learned from Hollywood into practice.

From things flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the sea, as long as there is room for publicity, they are all placed indiscriminately.

In contrast, the premieres of If Love held in Beijing and Shanghai on the 29th and 30th were a bit deserted.

The online reports were also quite satisfactory.

Even though Chen Kexin and his wife were so angry that they were jumping up and down, they didn't dare to stand up and seek attention at this moment.

Many people in the industry predict that Painted Skin may set many records.

Some people also criticized Painted Skin for its extravagant publicity, saying that the publicity costs were enough to make a new movie!

12 month 1 number.

Painted Skin and If Love were released at the same time.

Li Chen was no longer sleepy, and even Miss Liu, who usually loved to sleep in, was extremely excited.

This is her boyfriend’s first big-budget Chinese-language film, and she thinks the box office shouldn’t be too bad, mainly due to word of mouth.

If love had not encountered Painted Skin, perhaps the result would not have been so glaring.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

Comparing the cast, the female lead is Zhou Xun, but the Haibo in the cinema is different from the trailer released before.

One is so beautiful that it seems out of this world, and the other is just average.

For the male lead, you have Kim Sung-woo and Jang Seol-woo.

I also have Xiang Shaolong! It's not much different.

In addition, Wu Junru had previously implied that Li Chen had a fragile heart, alluding to mainland directors, and the theater where "If Love" was shown was less than half full.

It can be said that his debut was a failure!

By the afternoon, the online reviews had already appeared.

"Isn't today Thursday? So many people aren't working? The guy next to me is actually a scalper who bought it for 300! Damn, if I had known I would have bought a few more and made a fortune!"

"I never thought Zhou Xun was so beautiful before, but this time, I'm afraid she's been branded!"

"She's not tall, she's not pretty, she's not curvy, but she still makes me feel incredibly beautiful!"

“The picture is as cold as a jackdaw outside the Great Wall. It feels so familiar!”

"You can tell from the design that they put a lot of effort into it. The black and red color scheme of the Hanfu is the main color, so you can tell what dynasty it was from."

“There’s nothing wrong with the special effects. It feels like they’re right in front of you. They’re so real and gorgeous!”

"I went to the cinema but couldn't buy tickets, so the ticket seller recommended me to watch If Love! I got so angry that I bought two tickets from a scalper. I have a lot of money!"

"If love? Sorry, there is no word 'if' in my dictionary!"

After seeing the reviews online, Li Chen felt relieved.

The few netizens who complained couldn't cause much trouble, and the netizens who complained about the poor logic of the plot in the past are no longer there.

Miss Liu watched the premiere and then fell in love with Li Chen.

She directly said to Li Chen: "Director Li, I also want to shoot a costume drama, and I want to be like Xiao Wei, so that people will never forget it and remember it in their hearts."

"If you can't do it, then prepare to die alone, humph!"

This stumped Li Chen, although Miss Liu was also very beautiful.

But Miss Liu has always been so beautiful!

To be honest, it’s so beautiful that we have become accustomed to it, how can we remember it in our hearts!

On this day, no one is not paying attention to Painted Skin.

It was not until nearly two o'clock in the morning that Han Saping received a call from his deputy.

"Mr. Han, the data is out, 2305 million!" The deputy's voice was a little excited.

Han Sanping's blood was boiling, and he suppressed his excitement and said, "Okay, I got it. Thank you for your hard work."

"Mr. Han, you have worked hard."

2305 million!
The previous first-day box office record was Titanic's $1800 million.

The single-day box office was 2200 million, which was the same as last year's Kung Fu

Good boy! Li Chen!

　I will add another chapter on the weekend, thanks for the votes and rewards. Although the subscription data is declining every day, and now there are less than 240 subscriptions per day, it is really terrible. But seeing the book friend Xia Chong who cast five votes, at least it proves that there are still people who like to read, and I suddenly have the motivation to write again.
