Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 44: Sniping Dae Jang Geum

It was the year 2005.

The announcement of the Crossing the Guandong project once again made Rongchen Pictures and Noon Sunshine the center of attention.

This historical masterpiece with an investment of 3200 million yuan is a big investment by only the Central Bank and China Film Group.

This is rare among private enterprises.

What’s more, it is a new midday sun.

Wang Changtian from Guangxian called and said with a smile.

Since the release of Stone, Li Chen has basically dominated the front page headlines of the entertainment section every month.

One divination means an extra half year!

Ning Hao's Green Grassland was completed at the end of last month.

When Ning Hao entered Jinxiu Mingzuan, his complicated feelings were probably only understood by Xing Aina who was beside him.

The green grass was difficult to shoot.

If it weren't for the 50 yuan that Li Chen gave him at the end, Ning Hao would have probably given up halfway through the filming.

Looking at the imposing Rongchen Pictures headquarters building in front of him, Ning Hao felt that he was inferior to others.

When I met this junior from the directing department on the third floor.

He was not as arrogant and overbearing as Ning Hao had imagined.

Instead, he chatted with him about the shooting situation on the green lawn without losing any edge.

Ning Hao's face was peeling due to the sun, and he looked as dry as a piece of dried bacon.

Li Chen's office is very spacious, twice as big as Ning Hao's studio.

Li Chen and Ning Hao watched the sample film of Green Grassland.

It can be seen how difficult it was for Ning Hao to shoot this film.

There are no professional actors and no first-class team.

We managed to get a few local herdsmen to shoot an authentic green grassland.

Li Chen still had some admiration in his heart.

At this moment, Ning Hao was just like himself standing at the university gate in his previous life.

The heart is filled with the purest things.

"Brother Ning, how do you plan to distribute it?" Li Chen poured a cup of tea for each of the couple sitting opposite him.

"I have already registered for Berlin. I hope I can sell it for a good price so that you don't lose money."

Ning Hao's words sounded somewhat sad.

Xing Aina pushed Ning Hao.

He smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, Director Li. He is just like that. He can't talk."

Li Chen shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, just say whatever you want to say."

Ning Hao touched his neck awkwardly.

"Brother Ning, if you need investment in the future, don't look for anyone else. Come to me directly."

Ning Hao was stunned.

Xing Ai was delighted: "Thank you, Director Li."

I saw my husband was still in a daze.

Xing Aina pushed him again in annoyance: "What are you staring at? Are you mute?"

Ning Hao finally reacted and smiled awkwardly.

Li Chen suddenly remembered that in his previous life, everyone said that Ning Hao had a face full of fat.

I didn't expect that the first time I met him, the scene would be like this.

"Why are you willing to help me?" Ning Hao did not rush to thank him, but asked puzzledly.

Li Chen nodded: "Everyone has dreams, I have too, I was the same as you at the beginning."

"After much consideration, I gave up."

"Because I know that the environment has changed, and a hero has emerged, just like opening Pandora's box."

"Capital is entering the market, competing for profits, and documentary and art films are obviously not favored by capital."

"Instead of doing this, it is better to go with the flow and start with small-budget comedies to build up strength."

"One day, I will become capital too."

“It can help many of my former selves realize their dreams without being controlled by capital.”

"For example, you."

When Ning Hao and his wife left the Rongchen Film Building, they were both silent.

After returning to the studio, Ning Hao leaned back on the sofa and let out a long breath.

"Wife, he is right."

“Dreams are important, but appropriate compromise and flexibility are also for the purpose of better realizing dreams.”

Xing Aina's face was full of joy: "You should have thought so a long time ago."

"Look at Director Li. He is seven or eight years younger than us, but he is more insightful than you and me."

Ning Hao smiled: "Who said no? When we come back from Berlin, we will try something new."

"But I still have to find him. I have to ask him for advice when making commercial films, haha."

The most popular events in January were the premiere of New World and the release of The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

One is inseparable from Li Chen, and the other is inseparable from Miss Liu.

Yang Shoucheng completely follows the standards of Infernal Affairs.

You sold the remake rights for 175 million, I sold them for 200 million. You only had a few foreign distributors back then, I had more than a dozen at the beginning.

You had your premiere at the City Hall, and I had my premiere at the City Hall.

Yang Shoucheng wanted to trample Wujiandao under his feet.

The premiere was outstanding both in terms of the star status and the guest lineup.

It is more grand than last month's No Thief and Kung Fu.

Most of the artists in Hong Kong circle came to show their support, and many big names such as Cheng Long also showed up at the premiere.

The status of the leading actors is probably only surpassed by Infernal Affairs.

There will also be popular idol artists such as Xie Tingfeng, Zhang Baizhi, Rong Zul, and the twins to support.

This caused the fans watching on both sides of the red carpet to scream.

Li Chen has already met with Yang Shoucheng.

At the premiere, the more reasonable plot of New World compared to Infernal Affairs made it easier for people to resonate.

There is no logical flaw like in Infernal Affairs where Andy Lau and Liang Chaowei happen to appear as corresponding undercover characters by coincidence.

Li Zicheng's helpless blackening is in line with human nature and more logical.

In a subsequent media interview, Yang Shoucheng claimed that New World earned US$1820 million from selling copyrights.

The cost has been fully recovered and the company has achieved profitability.

Director Li Chen's script is impeccable.

Emperor Entertainment Group hopes to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Director Li Chen.

Li Chen, who was sitting in the audience, smiled in response to Yang Shoucheng's kindness.

After the premiere, Yang Shoucheng wanted to invite Li Chen to sit down with him.

Although the twins standing next to them are pleasing to the eye.

But when he thought of certain photos, Li Chen lost interest.

After Li Chen left, Huo Wenxi stepped forward and said, "Director Yang, Director Li doesn't seem to like this."

The twins standing by felt a little lost.

From the other person's calm eyes just now.

It can be seen that the other party has neither interest nor sexual interest in the two sisters.

Yang Shoucheng smiled and said nothing, there is still a long way to go.

Besides, he didn't expect to use these despicable means to consolidate the cooperative relationship between the two parties.

After returning home, Li Chen took the initiative to call Miss Liu. His good attitude earned him praise.

The text messages kept ringing, most of them were from the artists who were going to attend tonight.

Fan Xiaopang: Director Li, The New World is wonderful. The quality of Director Li’s scripts is first-class, I like them very much.

Li Chen shook his head and chuckled. This was not the first time that Fat Fan had sent him a message on his own initiative.

But every time I feel like there's some other meaning behind it.

She is worthy of being the woman wearing the dragon robe.

The naked ambition is fully reflected in the four words "I like it very much".

If I didn't know that she and Wang Xuebing had been in love for a long time, I would have believed it.

Fortunately, Miss Liu is also very good-looking.

Otherwise, Li Chen might let his lower body dominate his upper body.

Zhang Ziyi: Nice to meet Director Li, Ziyi.

Look, Zhang is already beginning to have an international style.

A short message doesn't express anything, everything is in 'Zi Yi'.

Li Chen would receive several text messages of this kind every now and then.

Especially after the stone fire.

Whether they are alumni of the school’s performing arts department or already famous artists.

To be more tactful, for example, Miss Liu’s classmate.

Just introduce yourself and leave an impression on Li Chen.

Naked, just like a girlfriend who has tried hard to stand out.

Director Li, my name is XXX. I have an audition opportunity. Please give me a chance.

I work very hard and try any role.
Then attach a sexy private photo of yourself.

This situation became more and more serious after Li Chen bought the Jinxiu Ming Diamond.

It’s no wonder that those big directors take advantage of female stars.

Some directors are really horny and mean.
But some things really cannot be achieved with one hand.

Like a line in Stephen Chow's Mermaid: They are all young people who work hard to make money.

In the blink of an eye, Kung Fu grossed 1.7 million yuan in the mainland box office, becoming the undisputed box office champion of 2004.

With 1.2 million yuan, Li Chen's stone was squeezed to fourth place.

However, compared with the cost, Stone is a classic example of a small investment with a big return.

Discs of "Dae Jang Geum" have appeared sporadically on the streets.

I'm afraid it won't be long before it is introduced into the country.

In your previous life, you were very popular in the country, and were loved by people of all ages. But it’s not that easy in this life!

　My family members, tomorrow is Tuesday again, I fold my hands and pray that you will continue reading.
