Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 103 Let’s fight, ladies
"Painted Skin's first-day box office exceeded 2300 million, breaking the first-day box office and single-day box office records in film history!"

"Reporters interviewed several cinema managers, all of whom said that every show of Painted Skin was sold out and tickets were hard to come by!"

Early in the morning, the industry was like an earthquake, stunned by the golden box office of Painted Skin.

Everyone knows that Painted Skin will definitely have a high box office.

After all, even the Sixth Princess was on the China Film Reporting Program, reporting on the spectacular event of Painted Skin for three consecutive days.

The premiere was star-studded and comparable to a film festival.

But I didn't expect it to be this high.

The phone has been ringing since Li Chen woke up in the morning.

The box office of Painted Skin is really too dazzling.

It’s only Thursday and the first weekend hasn’t even arrived yet. I wonder how many records will be broken by then.

Now, industry insiders are optimistic that Painted Skin may break 200 million.

Li Chen will become the second member of the "200 million club" after Zhang Yimou.

It turns out that it’s still one conspiracy and two Lis!
Wang Changtian laughed heartily: "Brother, I owe you a big favor this time, hahahaha."

This was the first time that Guangguang independently promoted a big-budget movie, and it was true that it gained both fame and fortune. Wang Changtian was delighted from the bottom of his heart.

Early in the morning, I received promotional notices for two more dramas!
“What’s the big deal? Without your hard work, the box office wouldn’t be as good as it is today.” Li Chen said with a smile.

Wang Changtian felt relieved, secretly thinking that Li Chen was a good person and understood the principle of a fancy sedan being carried by others.

"If you really feel like you owe me a favor, just send me a host for my company's annual meeting."

"What's the big deal? I just want to sign a few new players, so I'll send one over to you."

"Is it your cat-man host competition?"

"Yes, I'll have my assistant send the information to your company later. Which sentence do you like?"

Li Chen laughed and said, "Your words sound weird. If my wife hears them, I should stand at attention!"

"Hahaha, brother, I didn't realize you were still dominated by your wife." Wang Changtian joked.

After I hung up the phone, a few moments later, the information of several hosts was sent to me.

Li Chen took a quick look and saw Xie Nan and Liu Yan, two of the three treasures of light, were among them.

After considering for a moment, Li Chen chose Liu Yan.

Although Xie Nan ranked first, he was much better than Liu Yanshun in the future.

On the contrary, Liu Yan and Li Chen like to help those in need.

Just after hanging up the phone with Wang Changtian, Han Sanping called again.

"You have a really good attitude. I'm over 50 years old, and I stayed up all night waiting for the data. But when I called you the first time, your phone was turned off!"

"Mr. Han, stay up late less, it's bad for your health. When I saw the comments yesterday afternoon, I knew the result. The box office will definitely not be bad, it's just a matter of how high it is." Li Chen said with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense. By the way, when will the project we talked about the other day be finalized?"

"We are still discussing, wait a little longer."

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen sighed softly.

I feel sorry for Lao Han. I wonder if he will be able to finalize the investment in the thief project so easily after The Promise is released.

Just thinking about it makes me feel that Lao Han has it too hard!
Xiang Huaqiong wanted to ask him to meet in the evening and asked Liu Dehua to accompany them, but Li Chen pushed it off to next week.

Xiang Huaqi also readily agreed.

Brother Chen Kai was so excited, as if Painted Skin was filmed by him.

The box office success of Painted Skin was like a shot of adrenaline injected into his body.

Even the Painted Skin, which cost 100 million yuan, is so vigorous.

What will the Wuji Club look like after three years of preparation, more than a thousand days and nights of gestation, and a cost of 3.5 million yuan?
The streets are deserted and I am afraid it is not enough to describe it.

"Hong, we can expand our publicity efforts and hold more press conferences in first-tier cities." Chen Kaige said excitedly.

"Yeah, I thought so too. I didn't expect the box office of Painted Skin to be so impressive."

"But their publicity is indeed very effective. You can even see their promotional materials on planes, trains and ships."

"If we had known earlier, we could have done the same."

"Then our Wuji will be even more unimaginable." Chen Hong also said with infinite longing.

This is what the couple is feeling at the moment. Even Han Saping called them just now to express his excitement.

The three of them were a perfect match, and their plans came together by coincidence.

After all, the cast of The Promise is indeed one or two levels higher than that of Painted Skin.

Spanning China, Japan and South Korea, it includes popular superstars from the three countries, as well as young idols like Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi.

Early in the morning, Zhang Weiping had a toothache, a sharp pain.

He had a bad feeling that he would be in trouble if he rode alone for thousands of miles.

It’s not that brother Zhang Yimou is not strong enough, it’s just that the enemies are too fierce.

Then the casting of Lei Yu can no longer be left to Yimou's will.

Immediately, Zhang Weiping called his brother Zhang Yimou.

On the phone, the two talked about the box office of Painted Skin, and Zhang Yimou seemed very open-minded.

This shows that the domestic market is getting better and better, and Painted Skin is indeed very well filmed in all aspects.

The main storyline is clear, the acting of the leading actors is all on point, and it's hard to find fault with the colors and music.

"Yimou, you need to seriously consider the actors for Thunderstorm."

Zhang Weiping suddenly said this and Zhang Yimou was a little slow to react.

"What do you mean, Weiping? What's wrong with the actors? Both Gong Li and Chow Yun-fat are good actors!"

On the phone, Zhang Weiping sighed and hesitated for a few words before saying, "Yimou, I didn't say they are not good actors, but they are old after all, and may not be able to attract young audiences!"

Zhang Yimou finally came to his senses. The smile on his face had disappeared. He asked in a muffled voice, "Who are you going to put into the crew?"

"Zhou Jie Wheel!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yimou felt a little annoyed. The script had already been revised, but suddenly they wanted to add a character, so he had to revise the script.

But the person in question was his partner and brother of many years, and Zhang Yimou didn't want to cause any unpleasantness because of this matter!
Zhang Weiping, who hung up the phone on the other side, heard Zhang Yimou's dissatisfaction, but he didn't care!

But Zhang Weiping forgot a saying: A thousand-mile long dike can be destroyed by an ant hole.

Once the seeds of dissatisfaction are planted, they will take root and sprout, and one day they will break through the soil. Then it will be time for the two Zhangs to part ways.

With a cold snort, Zhang Weiping said to himself: "Can Liu Ye compare with Zhou Jielun? If he listens to you, he will be finished sooner or later!"

Some are happy, while others are sad.

"If Love's first-day box office was 85!"

"Yonghua Cinema, the No. 19 box office in Shanghai, only had a box office of 00 RMB as of 0.8: yesterday! Chen Kexin suffered a setback."

This was a slap in Chen Kexin's face.

But this is not the first time. He did it himself yesterday.

At the premiere in Shanghai yesterday, when asked by a reporter to choose between the box office and the Oscars, he was asked to choose between the box office and the Oscars.

Chen Kexin seemed to have completely forgotten what he had said before.

He admitted that if he had to choose between the two, he would rather choose the box office: "The Oscars only have more than 700 judges, but the box office has hundreds of thousands of people."

This immediately shocked netizens, who suggested that Chen Kexin was deliberately trying to please fans.

In the huge hotel suite, there were only Chen Kexin and his girlfriend, plus a little life in her belly.

What the young man said really came true. He really didn't regard love as his rival!
Wu Junru, who is already pregnant, and her boyfriend were silent. The first day box office of If Love is too embarrassing!

Chen Kexin sighed, not knowing what to say.

He is confident in love, but there is no harm without comparison.

Coupled with my girlfriend’s previous actions, I’m afraid mainland theaters have more legitimate reasons to reduce the screening rate of If Love.

On one hand, tickets are hard to come by and scalpers are making a fortune, while on the other hand, there are only a few big and small tourists and the attendance rate is not even 50%.

Wu Junru smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, we still have Oscar!"

Chen Kexin was a little discouraged. Although the box office had little impact on the Oscars, it was indeed very discouraging.

If you love this movie, you are bound to lose a lot of money!

The words that Li Chen said at the premiere of Painted Skin were like marijuana, sucking Chen Kexin's heart.

Looks like I have to make a blockbuster movie myself!

While speaking, Wu Junru was thinking about The Promise, which was competing for an Oscar.

Since the box office is gone, the Oscars must not be lost.

"Wang Yubing and Fan Qiaoqiao Hotpot expressed their love, and angrily told reporters: "It's none of your business whether we are in love or not!" "At the premiere of If Love, Huang Xiaoming was very lucky!"

"Zhou Xun's Magic City premiere was exposed!"

"Are you stupid?" Yang Siwei was a little angry at his lack of fighting spirit. He was familiar with Fan Xiaopang and didn't bother to be polite.

Fatty Fan was a little puzzled and said with a smile, "What's wrong? What's wrong so early in the morning?"

"Am I wrong, or are you wrong? Didn't you see what the Internet said about you?" Yang Siwei said helplessly.

Fat Fan knew she was talking about what happened last night.

She had a fight with her boyfriend about this last night, and then she left the hot pot restaurant first.

After waiting for a long time, her boyfriend didn't come downstairs, so she turned around and left angrily!

Fan Qiaoqiao was a little upset and pursed his lips: "Don't you know how annoying those reporters were last night?"

"I don't need to know! There are no reporters who aren't annoying! The question is, what do you do?"

"Even if you want to criticize someone, you should criticize them to the point. Look at what you said. What does it have to do with you whether I have a relationship or not?"

"Who do you think you are? An ordinary person? Now that you've entered this industry and live under the spotlight, don't even think about having any privacy!"

"I really don't know if your agent is just there to do nothing!" Yang Siwei scolded unceremoniously.

Fan Xiaopang was speechless after being taught a lesson by Yang Siwei.

In fact, Fan Bingbing’s personality is just a personality. In private, Fan Xiaopang has nothing to do with the word “Bing” at all.

It’s only because the marketing is well run that there are these lies like “I won’t marry into a wealthy family, I am a wealthy family myself”.

Yang Siwei had no intention of letting her go just like that. After all, this person might still be her artist in another year.

But after scolding him, Yang Siwei was no longer so generous, and said, "Even if you hate those reporters, don't you know how to act?"

"At worst, you can pretend, right?"

"My boss also hates reporters, but every time he meets a reporter, he either plays Tai Chi or tries to smooth things over."

"Look at my boss' attitude towards rumors. He has never admitted it, nor has he ever denied it. Can you learn from him?"

"You and that guy have both been proven guilty. I don't know what you two are thinking. You're still playing dead! Do you think it doesn't exist if you don't admit it?"

Fan Xiaopang was also speechless. He thought of his boyfriend's attitude and then of Liu Yifei's possible boyfriend, Director Li.

Suddenly, he collapsed on the bed as if all his strength had been drained away.

Hearing no sound on the phone, Yang Siwei said, "Think about it carefully. My boss is looking for me. I'm hanging up!"

It’s the end of the year, and the company’s employees are all in high spirits. The box office of Painted Skin was booming again on the first day.

This year, the company was booming from the beginning to the end.

After coming out of Miss Liu's house for dinner, Li Chen felt a little distracted. His future mother-in-law was very strict and did not let Miss Liu spend the night at her home.

Li Chen wanted to have sex in broad daylight, but Miss Liu was shy and refused to do so!

It made Li Chen feel like he had entered Buddhism.

After they entered the room, Li Chen put his arm around Miss Liu's waist and kissed her without saying a word.

Heavy breathing slapped the faces of the man and woman.

"Xixi, I'll be back later tonight." Miss Liu's intermittent words were heard as her down jacket naturally fell off.

"Hmm? Well, no, no."

Miss Liu pushed Li Chen away with force, causing Li Chen to stagger.

Li Chen immediately took a step forward and hugged Miss Liu's waist again, staring at Miss Liu's rosy face: "Why not!"

"I, my relatives are here." Miss Liu hesitated for a long time and squeezed out a few words.

After saying that, she turned around and quickly ran out the door. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would lose control of herself.

Li Chen was so lustful that he was blinded by lust and didn't understand what was going on.

I chased after her and asked, "Your relative? Who? Your aunt?"

It seems that Miss Liu has no other relatives except an aunt.

"My aunt"

"You have an aunt? Who are you kidding?"

Before he could finish his words, Li Chen had already reflected that aunt is just menstruation!
Oh my god, Miss Liu even played word games with him! I was so horny that I lost my mind and didn't even react!
I secretly wrote down the date and never made this mistake again.

The next day, the box office of Painted Skin continued to rise, reaching 2475 million.

Saturday, 2687 million

Sunday, 2556 million!
At this moment, people in the circle can only be amazed!

Because Painted Skin broke three records, one of which was the single-day box office record set by Painted Skin itself.

The other two are the first weekend box office record and the fastest box office record to break 100 million!

Previously, Zhang Yimou's Hero took seven days to break the 100 million mark, while Li Chen's Painted Skin only took four days!
Now no one doubts whether Painted Skin can reach 200 million, but whether it can exceed 300 million!
The internet is flooded with news about Painted Skin.

There are also many people who imitate Zhou Xun's Lotus Emerging from Water, and of course, there are also people who make spoof imitations.

Li Chen saw a familiar face, the Qiang tribe's twin demons!

Yang Di, one of the two evil spirits, was covered with a layer of cheap white gauze and a middle-parted wig, imitating the scene of Zhou Xun emerging from the water.

This guy is really born to be a variety show host.

The download volume was quite high, and Li Chen just smiled.

Thinking of the bloody murder that was about to happen due to a steamed bun, he started sweating for Han Saping again.

For six consecutive days, the box office of If Love was less than six million.

Chen Kexin and his wife were promoting the product like crazy.

Chen Kexin's girlfriend was not idle even though she was pregnant. She went on a show with her belly bulging to promote If Love.

However, they never mention Painted Skin, probably because they are too embarrassed to do so, after all, Painted Skin was a huge hit both at the box office and in terms of reputation.

Even many directors from Hong Kong Island came out to comment on Painted Skin.

Among them, Wang Jing even named the names.

"Zhou Xun is not a great beauty. If I were to give her a score, it would be 70 at most, but her acting skills are 100."

"She's obviously not sexy at all, but she played the role of a vixen Xiao Wei so charmingly and seductively, to the core!"

Although Wu Junru did not pursue Painted Skin anymore, he set his sights on another Oscar competitor: The Promise!

On the 6th, a piece of entertainment news instantly made the headlines.

"Wu Junru revealed in "She He She": "The Promise" is not good, Zhang Baizhi has fake 'big breasts'"

As soon as the news broke, it immediately caused an uproar.

First, Zhang Baizhi's agent Xiang Tai expressed strong dissatisfaction with this.

Immediately jump out and feel sorry for Chen Kexin?
"I put so much thought into making a good film. I heard that the word of mouth is pretty good. It even represented Hong Kong Island in the Oscars."

"The Promise is also representing the mainland in the Oscars. Isn't it great to let a hundred flowers bloom?"

"You don't have to be so vulgar, stepping on others to praise yourself? You got rejected in front of Painted Skin, and now you can please Wuji by coming here?"

Mrs. Xiang was not a pushover either, and she had even harsher words to say.

"I'm not scolding Wu Junru, but if I were Chen Kexin, I would be very angry."

"Because Wu Junru made the whole thing vulgar, she has a child now, so she should be more broad-minded, otherwise it will be bad for the child."

Ms. Liu, a bystander, complained: "She is so... Why would she mention someone else's child?"

Miss Liu was very confused and didn't know how to describe it, but she still felt that Mrs. Xiang had gone too far.

Li Chen also hated this kind of behavior. No matter how adults quarreled, they should not involve other people's families, especially children.

"Alas, both of them are not easy to deal with, but I am really envious!" Li Chen looked dramatic.

"What are you envious of?" Miss Liu asked curiously.

"I envy him for having a good wife. The man doesn't have to show up, the woman comes out to fight with bayonets."

"Look, I let Wu Junru think that she has a fragile heart. I can't argue with a woman, but I suffer because I don't have a wife!"

"Don't you think so, Sissi?"

Miss Liu said with a smile: "Didn't Director Chen's wife say anything?"

Li Chen sneered: "I'm afraid she hasn't seen it yet, otherwise, Director Chen's wife is not a pushover."

"Look at that little Hong Kong superstar Xie Tingfeng. Didn't he give in a while ago?"

Miss Liu smiled like a spring crabapple. How could she not understand what her boyfriend meant?

It seems that I, your legitimate girlfriend, can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb next time...

Li Chen was right. Chen Hong was busy preparing for the Wuji press conference in Dalian and didn't pay any attention to the news on the Internet.
