Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 39 Look at your performance
Liu Yifei's sweet look when she returned home did not escape Liu Xiaoli's notice.

The look in his eyes was full of spring, and there was a smile on his lips, which made him look very proud.

As someone who has experienced this, how could Liu Xiaoli not see that her daughter was really moved.

Liu Xiaoli hopes her daughter will not be like herself, and silently wishes her daughter the best of luck.

Before going to bed at night, Miss Liu held her mobile phone and sent a message to someone.

"When I'm not in Beijing, you must behave yourself."

"You are not allowed not to text me, you are not allowed not to call me, you are not allowed not to miss me"

Li Chen felt overwhelmed when he saw Miss Liu saying so many no's.

"There are so many prohibitions. It's so difficult. If I do all of them, will there be any reward?"

"What reward do you want?" Miss Liu held the phone with a red face and her heart beating faster.

There was no one in the room, but she was nervous.

Li Chen replied with a smile: "The actors are not allowed to stop until the director calls out "cut", for example, today's unfinished scenes!"

Miss Liu looked at the text message, thought of what happened today, and covered her face with shame.

After a long while, he replied: "It depends on your performance."

Li Chen laughed: "I will never do anything that Miss Liu doesn't allow, and I will complete anything that Miss Liu asks me to do unconditionally."

The next day, Miss Liu set out for Yandang Mountain.

Two days later, Yang Shoucheng called.

The Southeast Asian, European and American film producers he invited will arrive in Hong Kong tomorrow.

Yang Shoucheng asked him whether he wanted to sell the copyright outright or introduce distribution and share the box office revenue.

The other party has a very good grasp of the social skills.

Although I have said it myself, I will not ask any questions.

But the other party still called in person.

Li Chen still said the same thing, everything is decided by Emperor Entertainment Group.

Yang Shoucheng is an outstanding businessman.

We can definitely tell which approach will maximize the benefits of the new world.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Shoucheng was full of confidence.

The promotional slogan of New World is to compete with Infernal Affairs.

Starting this year, Infernal Affairs has been released in various countries in Europe and the United States, receiving rave reviews.

So those overseas film producers are very interested.

Especially Warner, which bought the rights to remake Infernal Affairs.

They want to see whether this new world can really rival Infernal Affairs.

The next day, New World's nearly two-hour film made the film producers who watched it on site nod their heads frequently.

CJ from South Korea, Toho from the island country, and GSC from Malaysia.

Hollywood's Warner is also interested in distributing or buying out New World.

Li Chen was a little surprised when he received Yang Shoucheng's call.

"You said Warner, Paramount and CJ wanted to buy the remake rights of New World?"

Yang Shoucheng smiled and said, "Yes, Warner and Paramount competed for the remake rights of Infernal Affairs last year."

"After a few companies made the final bid, Warner Bros. won the remake rights of Infernal Affairs for $175 million."

“This year, both companies have set their sights on New World.”

"The right to reshoot is in your hands. I'll ask them to contact you directly."

"I understand, Director Yang."

"Director Li, don't you want to ask about the transaction situation of New World?" Yang Shoucheng said with a smile.

Li Chen also smiled and said, "From Mr. Yang's tone, it should be good. Let's talk about it when we meet."

Yang Shoucheng hung up the phone.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Huo Wenxi who was standing in front of him: "Just tell me the result."

Huo Wenxi placed the prepared documents in front of Yang Shoucheng.

"Director Yang, Director Li's information has been checked."

“I earned my first pot of gold with two novels I wrote in high school before entering college.”

“After entering university, I made three films in two years.”

"The total box office is 1.5 million, and the net worth is no more than 5000 million."

Huo Wenxi recited Li Chen's ancestors fluently as if he were reciting a text.

Yang Shoucheng nodded: "It's interesting. No wonder he can spend 1.5 million to buy a famous diamond at such a young age."

"I wouldn't care about the profits of the new world if I didn't have some strength."

Huo Wenxi asked, "Are we still going to investigate, Director Yang?"

Yang Shoucheng laughed and said, "What are you looking for? If we didn't find it this time, will we be able to find it again?"

"Only if you can't find out the truth will you be qualified to be my partner, Yang Shoucheng!"

Huo Wenxi thought about it and then felt relieved.

Indeed, whether it is his own boss or other bigwigs in Hong Kong.

No one's wealth is just the tip that floats on the water.

Perhaps at this moment, the boss began to regard Director Li as a long-term partner.

It is not just a promising potential stock in the film and television industry.

Li Chen hung up the phone and didn't take it seriously. He would wait until they came to him. It was just a trivial matter. He would sell it to whoever offered the highest price.

Li Chen didn't expect to use chicken feathers as a token to negotiate terms with these Hollywood giants.

Li Chen estimated that Warner probably didn't want another work that could compete with their remake of Infernal Affairs to be remade first.

Paramount was the exact opposite.

The popularity of Infernal Affairs in Europe and the United States this year made them see the market potential of this type of film.

Maybe they regret not paying a little more to get the rights to remake Infernal Affairs last year.

This time we just happened to take over the New World.

If it can be released before Warner's remake of Infernal Affairs, it will gain a head start in the market.

Han Sanping called.

"Director Han?"

"You are really good, you are so popular everywhere."

"What do you mean, Mr. Han?"

"Come over tomorrow and I'll introduce someone to you." Han Sanping didn't explain anything.

Li Chen was a little confused.

When he arrived at China Film Studio the next day, Han Sanping said that the people who introduced him were actually two foreigners.

Li Chen thought it was another person like Chang Hong who had connections and was too arrogant.

Looking at the two foreigners standing up from the sofa.

Han Sanping stood up and said, "This is Richard Fox, the executive vice president of Warner Bros."

Li Chen knew what was going on, but he just felt strange.

It’s not a big deal, even Han Sanping has come forward.

"Li, you are younger than I thought. Nice to meet you."

Li Chen felt uncomfortable listening to the poor Chinese.

After the two sides got to know each other, Han Sanping got straight to the point: "Give the remake rights of New World to Warner."

Li Chen glanced at Han Sanping and did not agree immediately.

Whether it is given to Warner or Paramount, it doesn’t matter to Li Chen.

The problem was that Han Sanping didn't explain anything, which made Li Chen feel a little unhappy.

The man next to Richard Fox spoke Chinese better than he did.

He smiled and said, "Director Li, the story of the new world is very exciting, and we at Warner are very sincere."

"Last year, Infernal Affairs was sold for 175 million U.S. dollars, and we offered 200 million U.S. dollars for New World."

What does this mean? What kind of nonsense is Han Sanping setting up today?

Li Chen looked at the two foreigners as if they were idiots.

He said with a smile: "Two million US dollars is indeed a lot!"

The two foreigners smiled, while Han Sanping remained silent.

"Today, for Mr. Han's sake, let's just take 200 million."

The foreigner didn't understand the hidden meaning in Li Chen's words, but Han Sanping did.

We saw off two foreigners who came with excitement and left with satisfaction.

Han Sanping and Li Chen returned to the office.

Then he mentioned: "Next month, China Film, Warner, and Hengdian will jointly invest to establish China Film Warner Hengdian Film Co., Ltd."

"The new company's main business will include investment, production, distribution and promotion of Chinese-language films and television movies."

"I'm the general manager, and Mr. Yang is the chairman. Do you understand?"

Li Chen suddenly realized, no wonder Warner found Han Sanping.

With Han Sanping's help, this is indeed a trivial matter. Foreigners also know how to use backdoors!

Li Chen smiled and said, "You should have said it earlier, Director Han."

"If I had known this, we wouldn't have had to meet."

"Warner is very foresighted. They saw the huge potential of the Chinese film market and established a good relationship with China Film Group in advance."

Li Chen exclaimed.

Han Sanping said unhappily, "Are you really stupid? Isn't Painted Skin going to be released worldwide?"

Li Chen suddenly came to his senses, raised his thumb and said with a smile: "I understand, I understand. Oh, Mr. Han is still far-sighted and far-sighted."

"Get out of here and stop flattering me!" Han Sanping scolded with a smile.

"By the way, what's going on between you and Chang Hong?" Han Sanping changed his tone and asked.

Li Chen smiled and said, "What could possibly happen? At most, this Brother Chang you introduced to me looks down on my small, makeshift troupe."

He tried to look up Chang Hong's information, but couldn't find anything, so he gave up.

Li Chen estimated that this person's identity might be similar to Da Tiantian.

The more difficult it is to find out, the more it proves that there is a background.

Han Sanping shook his head and said, "Forget it. I don't want to bother with your affairs."

When Paramount found him, the copyright of New World had already been sold to CJ in South Korea and Warner in Hollywood.

Both parties politely exchanged contact information.

　Thanks to my family, the first round of recommendations has passed
