Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 41: The Strong Guest Overwhelms the Host
Li Chen and Wang Changtian clinked their glasses, and Han Sanping also took a seat.

The two men greeted Han Sanping.

Sitting between the three people was a man in his fifties.

Li Chen had never seen him before, but he thought that he must be no small figure to sit next to Han Sanping.

Sitting on the other side of Han Sanping is Milk Tea Liu Ruoying.

After sitting down, the man in his fifties seemed to know Wang Changtian.

Wang Changtian called him Mr. Bao.

Wang Changtian did not ignore Li Chen and took the initiative to act as an introducer.

"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Bao from Wanda."

Li Chen's heart moved. He was from the Bao family, the first general manager of Wanda Cinema Chain.

It seems that Wanda Cinema Line has been approved to be established.

I'm afraid that Big Boss Wang is about to start entering the scene.

Li Chen shook hands with the other party and exchanged contact information.

The other party was very sensible and didn't say much in this situation.

Soon, the premiere officially kicked off, starting with a charity auction.

The atmosphere was very lively.

When it came to the second item being auctioned, Li Bingqiao came on stage.

The host suddenly had an idea and came up with a gimmick.

Bid 5000 yuan to dance a Latin dance with Li Bingqiao.

Li Chen and Wang Changtian both laughed out loud.

There is no shortage of people to support the event.

The most surprising thing was that the 'young man' who came on stage turned out to be the father of another Bingluo.

Li Chen was a little bit unbelievable: "Brother, this guy must be older than you, right?"

"Aren't you just talking nonsense?" Wang Changtian said unhappily.

"This, this is too young, right? I would believe them if they were brother and sister."

The father of the fashion queen Fan Xiaopang is more fashionable than Fan Xiaopang.

Wearing a white suit, his looks will still be attractive even in later generations.

After the Latin dance, the real item turned out to be the leather pants worn by Liu Dehua in A World Without Thieves.

Everyone was very considerate and competed to bid.

Li Chen also showed his support by shouting out fifty thousand.

But soon Liu Dehua himself called out 60,000.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Zhonglei shouted sixty-eight thousand.

Good guy, not on the scene.

Li Chen found it hard to imagine that Liu Dehua was already 44 years old and had no image burden at all.

He is full of energy, like a young man in his early twenties.

The auction didn't end until Xiao Gangpao sold all his computers.

At the end, Xiao Gangpao’s closing statement: I hope there is no piracy in the world.

It turns out that "There are no thieves in the world" is just a gimmick, this sentence is the real meaning.

Then came the movie premiere, the movie ended, and the media began interviewing.

Wang Changtian smiled and said, "Brother, are you ready to say something?"

Shi Tou is currently the runner-up in this year's box office, and he is also one of the only two directors who have earned over 100 million yuan.

Li Chen knew that he could not escape, so he said indifferently: "If the enemy comes, we will stop him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth."

Sure enough, when asked about the box office expectations of the Little Cannon and his leading actors.

The reporter drew the fire on him.

"Director Li Chen is here today. What do you think of Wu Zeti and Kung Fu? You are the only billionaire director in China."

Li Chen felt amused in his heart. It was impossible for him to flatter the little cannon.

But we can't be too disrespectful to them, after all, today is their premiere.

Li Chen also played a trick and said with a smile: "There is no doubt that Wu Zhi will have a box office of over 100 million yuan."

There was a curve on the little steel cannon's face.

But the reporter was not going to let him off easily.

"So, compared to kung fu, which one do you prefer?"

Everyone turned their eyes to Li Chen.

Li Chen was prepared and smiled calmly: "Mr. Liu Dehua once said that."

"Director Zhou Xingchi has never lost in all these years. It won't be embarrassing to lose to him."

“I think this sentence is very objective!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the media immediately became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and there was an uproar at the scene.

Li Yu sighed quietly: "Thinking, Director Li is really a character!"

Yang Siwei couldn't help but laugh and said, "The boss is worthy of being the boss!"

A smile appeared on Wang Changtian's lips.

Han Sanping glanced at Li Chen.

I don’t know if Li Chen misunderstood, but I always felt that there was more encouragement than surprise in Han Sanping’s eyes.

Everyone at the scene was secretly amazed. Director Li was really bold in saying that.

Wang Zhonglei's smile remained unchanged, but no one knew what he was thinking inside.

Liu Dehua just said that casually in the interview, and you are making the final conclusion in front of the media!
Liu Dehua still kept smiling.

He did say this, and he didn't think he was wrong.

The little steel cannon's face stretched a lot. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he directly retorted with an expressionless face.

"Then what do you think, Director Li, about Wu Zei and Shi Tou?"

Li Chen cursed in his heart that the little cannon deserved death.

The crowd and the media were in an uproar.

This is the ultimate showdown between the two directors!

Li Chen did not disappoint.

He smiled gracefully and said, "The Lunar New Year period is Director Feng's home turf, so losing to Director Feng won't be embarrassing!"

Li Chen delivered Liu Dehua's words to Xiao Gangpao exactly as they were.

Wang Changtian led the applause without giving any face.

The others followed suit and applauded.

The little steel cannon's face was as black as a piece of charcoal.

"Brother, you are amazing!" Wang Changtian said with a smile.

The premiere ended and everyone dispersed.

"Fucking crazy!"

“You think you’re a big shot after making two movies?”

The little cannon cursed a lot, although he also admitted that Stephen Chow had box office appeal.

But who do you think you are, Li Chen? What qualifications do you have to give orders here?

Wang Zhonglei's face also looked unhappy.

Liu Dehua and Milk Tea had already left, and only Huayi’s main creative staff were left in the auditorium.

Neither of the two Bingqiao dared to respond. It was not their place to interrupt a quarrel between such big directors.

In fact, Fan Xiaopang really admires director Li Chen.

In this kind of situation, I dare to tell the truth, even if it is an unpleasant truth.

If he doesn't have some strength and confidence, Huayi will probably have to teach him a lesson tomorrow.

Li Bingqiao kept silent.

Although she is the lead actress of No Thief and a member of Huayi, she is also the lead actress of Painted Skin.

Wang Zhonglei walked aside, picked up the phone and called Li Chen.

Li Chen and Yang Siwei were sitting in the car, laughing and saying, "I guess this Mr. Wang is calling to 'question'!"

Yang Siwei said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? You dare to confront the boss in person, so how can you be timid on the phone?"

"You are so naive! From now on, you should just change your name to Yang Tianzhen."

"Think carefully, who is the producer of Kung Fu?"

Li Chen shook his head and cursed with a smile.

Yang Siwei was stunned. It seemed that Huayi was the producer of both dramas.

From this point of view, the boss's presence today is still to build momentum for Huayi.

Li Chen ignored Yang Siwei and picked up the phone.

"Director Li, weren't you too inconsiderate in what you said today?" Wang Zhonglei sounded a little annoyed.

"Mr. Wang, are you going to teach me how to speak?" Li Chen didn't give the other party any face.

What the hell is this? Why are you pretending!

You are all old demons who have turned into spirits. Why are you pretending to be funny to me?

Yang Siwei sat next to Li Chen and secretly gave Li Chen a thumbs up!

Wang Zhonglei also realized that his tone was inappropriate.

The other party is not only a big director but also the big boss of Rongchen Pictures.

The two Bingzhao in the distance noticed the change in Mr. Wang's expression.

"I'm not trying to teach Director Li how to speak, but Director Li is my guest today after all, and as the saying goes, the guest should not overshadow the host."

Li Chen was amused: "Boss Wang, I don't like beating around the bush. The media asked me this, so I answered truthfully."

"Does Mr. Wang think that what I said is not the truth?"

"Besides, didn't your Director Feng regain his face from me in the end?"

The two parted unhappily and hung up the phone.

"You have no sense at all. No one should spoil you!" Li Chen said unhappily.

Yang Siwei secretly stuck out his tongue. It was the first time he heard his boss swear and the first time he saw his boss scolding someone.

The person being criticized is the CEO of a big company like Huayi, which is so exciting.

If this gossip gets out, it will definitely be the front page headline of the entertainment section of every major portal website tomorrow!
I am indeed a little young, but the boss is about the same age as me.

How could he be so evil! Yang Siwei muttered to himself.

Wang Zhonglei's face looked unhappy, and it was obvious that he had not gotten what he wanted.

The two Bingqiao and Baoqiang didn't dare to say a word.

Little Cannon was not afraid: "What? He is still shameless?"

Wang Zhonglei was in a bad mood: "Come on, go back and rest early. We have to go to Hong Kong Island tomorrow. Don't respond to this matter."

Wang Zhonglei was helpless. He had enough troubles recently and he didn't want to add to it.

Besides, Huayi is the producer of both films.

The reason I made this call was largely out of consideration for Xiaogang's reputation.

Wang Jingyan alone is enough to annoy him, and the fact that Wang Jingyan didn’t come tonight is the best proof.

Although what Li Chen said tonight was unpleasant to hear, he had no way of refutation.

There is no thief and Kung Fu fighting.

Unless he was drinking fake wine, he could not say that Wu Thief can defeat Kung Fu.
