Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 20: One Plot and Two Li

The crew of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was privately talking about the recently popular "Crazy Stone".

Liu Yifei looked at the reports on the Internet.

"Crazy Stone" earned 2300 million in its second week, and is just around the corner from million.

Liu Yifei's eyes were full of envy and joy.

I wonder if the two movies she starred in can achieve half the success of Stone when they are released.

Liu Xiaoli walked in and said with a smile, "Xixi, I have good news for you. There's news from Sony."

"Your godfather and agent are in contact with them. Maybe it won't be long before there is a result."

Liu Yifei said excitedly: "Really, Mom?"

This girl has had an artistic heart since she was a child.

After I became obsessed with Audrey Hepburn, I couldn't stop.

Meet another artist like Liu Xiaoli.

Influenced by Liu Xiaoli since childhood, I am full of artistic cells.

Not only does he like acting, he also likes singing, which is exactly what Liu Xiaoli wants.

With my daughter's excellence, she will surely surpass her own achievements on the stage and shine brightly.

Liu Xiaoli smiled and said, "That's true."

"By the way, do you know when Li Chen's crew will come?"

Liu Yifei hugged Liu Xiaoli's arm with a smile.

"Why are you asking this, mom? Haven't you always ignored him?"

Liu Xiaoli tapped her daughter's forehead unhappily and said lovingly, "That's what the crew has been talking about recently."

"And you, damn girl, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

"Someone gave you a book, and you almost tore it apart!"

Liu Yifei said coquettishly: "What are you talking about, Mom."

"That book is really good. I think the heroine in it is very similar to me."

After saying that, her delicate little face became a little lonely again.

Liu Xiaoli immediately softened her heart, but still kept a stern face.

"Xixi, Mom knows that you have suffered a lot following me over the years."

"But mom still wants you to remember one thing: don't be easily tempted."

Liu Yifei was stunned, her face flushed instantly: "What nonsense are you talking about, Mom."

"I just regard Li Chen as a friend I can talk to."

Liu Xiaoli smiled and said, "That's good."

On May 5, Stone entered the third week.

Two more films were released, an art film "Warmth" and a foreign film "A Bunch of Children".

On May 5, the box office of Stone finally exceeded 18 million!
Li Chen is the second director to join the billion-yuan club after Zhang Yimou.

And he is only twenty years old!

The media reported it extensively, and it cost hundreds of millions?

The success of a stone is just like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

It gives confidence to investors and also gives confidence to people working in the film industry.

If Shitou can make hundreds of millions, there’s no reason why “The Matrix 2” can’t, and there’s no reason why “New Police Story” can’t.

Huayi is also full of confidence in his company's "A World Without Thieves" which will be released at the end of the year.

Hong Kong Island.

Boss Yang, who just turned sixty, leaned back in his spacious boss chair.

Standing next to him was the artist director Wen Xi, who was in her early thirties and dressed in a smart black professional suit.

Boss Yang smiled and said, "That's over 100 million?"

Wen Xi had delicate makeup on, smiled and nodded, "Director Yang, it seems that the market in the mainland is getting better and better."

"Should we take the initiative to contact him? I heard that this young director doesn't like socializing."

"I have rejected invitations from Huayi and Hairun, and I have also turned my back on several industry associations."

Boss Yang nodded slightly: "It's normal for young people to have edges and angularity and arrogance. Talented people are all good at temper."

"Have the invitations to the premieres of our two dramas been sent?" Wen Xi said, "They have been sent."

Boss Yang crossed his hands and moved his thumbs rhythmically.

After a while, he simply said, "Well, go to Beijing tomorrow and personally invite the director."

Huo Wenxi said: "No problem, Director Yang, I will fly over early tomorrow morning."

Boss Yang added: "If the other party refuses, it doesn't matter. You should..."

Huo Wenxi was a little surprised, but soon nodded decisively.

From this moment on, Li Chen's name became famous, and the box office was his best weapon.

As for fame, all it takes is for the next few works to win a decent award.

He will be able to secure his status as a great director and compete with a group of fifth-generation directors.

Both works received great reviews and were box office hits.

He was praised to the sky on the Internet.

"One Mou and two Lis, who else is coming?"

"Until Lao Mouzi comes out, his sharpness is unmatched!"

After reading these, Li Chen's back teeth ached. Damn it, they didn't take the little cannon and the poet seriously enough.

This was like roasting him on the fire. He then quickly called Yang Siwei.

"Hello, Director Li. Uh, um, okay, I understand."

Yang Siwei hung up the phone, and Wang Jingyan asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Yang Siwei said with a smile: "It's okay, Sister Yan."

"Director Li asked me to respond to the media, saying that he didn't want to be grilled on the fire, haha."

Wang Jingyan also laughed and said: "The media is like this. How can there be discussion without gimmicks? Without discussion, there will be no heat."

“So, every time the company has a work released, it’s OK if it’s mediocre and no one is interested.”

“But if it’s polarized, then we as agents must be prepared to deal with the media and emergencies at any time.”

Yang Siwei listened carefully and nodded, "I'll remember that, Sister Yan."

Wang Jingyan smiled and said, "Go and deal with it quickly."

"Yang Siwei, director of Rongchen Pictures, responded that Director Li is currently preparing for the start of filming of Shoplifters."

"Thank you for your love for Stone. Director Li will continue to treat the next work with care and live up to the audience's expectations."

Li Chen and Xu Zheng met at the company and Li Chen handed the script to Xu Zheng.

Li Chen invested five million and did not interfere with the casting.

Just say that during the audition, let Xu Zheng give Huayi suitable artists a chance.

Xu Zheng is a smart man and knows exactly what to do.

What is appropriate? Cheap, affordable, like every actor in the stone.

Apart from him, nothing is that expensive.

When he signed the contract, Lost on Journey had not yet been released, so the movie wasn't that expensive.

Li Chen looked at the invitation sent by the front desk.

Invitation from Hong Kong Island and China Star.

There were also invitations to several movie premieres, and finally a letter signed by Wanda.

Li Chen asked the receptionist to decline the offer, saying that the new drama was about to start filming and he didn't have time.

In addition, the crew of "Shoplifters" was notified to arrive in Hengdian before May 5th.

"Lost on Journey" participated in this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.

After this year, the Golden Rooster and the Hundred Flowers will separate.

Forget it, just treat it as witnessing history.

Mr. Han is right when he said that young people should not be too unconventional.

You don't join the association, you don't participate in the film festival, what do you want to do?

By this calculation, in addition to attending the premiere of "New Police Story" invested by China Film and Emperor Entertainment Group in September, I also have to attend a film festival.

　I will change the update time starting tomorrow.
