Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 49: Modified Painted Skin

In its first week of release, the film grossed 1300 million.

Xu Zheng was very excited on the phone.

After all, this is his first film directed independently.

Li Chen estimates that the final box office will be around 3000 million.

New World's box office in mainland China finally settled at 6950 million.

The box office in Hong Kong Island was 5640 million.

It surpassed the 5500 million box office of Infernal Affairs in that year.

Emperor Entertainment Group gained both fame and fortune through this wave.

Yang Shoucheng and Li Chen contacted each other more and more frequently.

Li Chen was somewhat impressed by Yang Mi's sudden visit.

It’s a good reason to come and visit Zhou Xun.

Li Chen forgot that she and Zhou Xun were both in Rong Xinda.

It seems that these two people really have a connection.

If Li Chen remembers correctly, Zhou Xun's contract will expire next year.

After signing with Huayi, Zhou Xun's agent Zeng Jia became Yang Mi's agent.

Li Chen couldn't refuse, as Da Mimi was also an important part of his future entertainment empire.

With super strong money-making ability, she is the best among all the 85 flowers.

Perhaps the Que'er in Painted Skin 2 is destined to be Yang Mi's.

On the set, Yang Mi smiled happily when she saw Zhou Xun.

He raised his hand and said, "Sister Xun, I'm here to visit you."

Zhou Xun glanced at Li Chen.

She smiled and said, "As long as Director Li agrees, it's fine. Sister Xun has to follow Director Li's lead even when she's on set."

Yang Mi looked at Li Chen pitifully: "Director Li, what do you think?"

Li Chen ignored Zhou Xun's teasing.

He glanced at Yang Mi and said, "Since I'm here, I'm not so unkind."

"It's good to come visit the set. Maybe you and Painted Skin are destined to be together."

Yang Mi was stunned. What does that mean?
Zhou Xun reacted quickly because she had read the script and knew the ending.

The lizard demon was destroyed, and Xiao Wei gave up his inner elixir.

He managed to escape by using the method of grafting, but was seriously injured.

Li Chen made some changes to the script of Painted Skin.

After all, Painted Skin is going to be released worldwide, so the logical flaws have to be corrected.

Don’t cater to Western values, but don’t destroy their values ​​either!

Otherwise, the same ending will happen as in the previous life.

Wang Sheng found out that the person he fell in love with was actually a monster.

His beloved wife and brother who fought alongside him died tragically because of the evil spirits.

In the end, he actually said such a ridiculous line: I love you, but I already have Peirong.

This screenwriter has a really creative mind and is a loyal supporter of humans and animals.

If you are so stupid, you can only deceive yourself and those infatuated men and women.

Li Chen was not moved at all when he watched it.

You were deceived by the monster and your family was destroyed. Wait until you find out the truth.

As long as they are normal people.

Shouldn't we join forces with Pang Yong and Xia Bing to take revenge and slay the demons?

When Xiao Wei was a beauty, there was nothing wrong with you being fascinated by her beauty.

Later on everyone knew that he was not a human being. Don’t you feel fucking disgusted?
Foreigners have brains.

Li Chen would never be like a little cannon.

Attach something personal to Hamlet.

The result was a hilarious banquet.

Both are remakes of Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Why is the American movie The Lion King so famous all over the world?

The night banquet was criticized harshly.

Get to the root cause.

The Lion King talks about human nature, which resonates with people all over the world.

However, The Banquet is about the social customs, conspiracies and intrigues of ancient China, mixed with the "black humor" style of the sketches in the Little Steel Cannon movies.

Even our own people look down on it, let alone get foreigners to accept it.

Zhou Xun laughed and said, "Director Li, do you mean there will be a sequel to Painted Skin?"

Yang Mi immediately understood and said excitedly: "Senior, I, I."

Painted Skin was released worldwide.

Yang Mi was so excited that she stuttered for a moment.

All my usual agility is gone.

Li Chen didn't respond to their conversation and said directly: "Stop talking nonsense and get ready for the next game."

Yang Mi suppressed her excitement and greeted the seniors in the crew.

"Gu Tianle is so handsome, he's almost catching up with Tingfeng." Yang Mi said secretly.

Today's scene is not difficult, but it is very expensive!
Li Chen added: "Brother Xun, try to pass it in one go. This skin of yours is worth 90."

"If you take it off two or three times, I won't be able to sleep at night!"

Zhou Xun didn't dare to laugh out loud, as she was covered in skin and it took her six hours to put on makeup.

He suppressed his smile and said, "Don't worry, Director Li."

"You think it's good to have this skin on your body, but I don't want to suffer for another six hours."

Yang Mi was so surprised that she smacked her lips and whispered to Tang Yan, whom she had just met, "This skin costs 90?"

Tang Yan nodded: "It's imported from abroad. The first time I heard it, I felt the same as you."

Yang Mi didn't dare to say anything. Everyone at the scene held their breath. This shot had to be done in one take.

"Action"

After peeling, special effects support is needed.

Li Chen has also considered this point, and it will not be the same as in Hong Kong Island.

After shedding its skin, it becomes a white fox with eyes as red as rubies.

It’s not like the previous Painted Skin where it looked like a bunch of tangled wires.

Monsters are monsters, ghosts are ghosts.

Since the script has been changed into a monster, just show your true form.

It makes sense that Peirong wasn't so scared after seeing this.

In the next scene, Li Bingqiao was poisoned by a demon.

It turned into a terrifying creature with green face and fangs, neither human nor monster.

After filming a scene, Li Bingqiao complained: "Seeing myself like this, I was shocked myself."

"Director Li, please let me do it once. I really don't have the courage to look at myself again."

Yang Mi stayed in the crew for one day and then left.

Before leaving, she bravely expressed her true feelings to Li Chen: "Senior, if there is a sequel to Painted Skin, please don't forget me."

Li Chen was speechless. He hadn't even enrolled yet, but he was already calling this senior by his given name!
In mid-March, the movie grossed 2925 million after one month of release in the club.

By this calculation, all the movies produced by Rongchen Pictures have made a lot of money.

It's April now.

Hou Hongliang called him and said that after nearly half a year of preparation, the script had been completed.

Hou Hongliang planned to hold a press conference for the launch of the film, after all, it was the company's first big production.

Can't be silent.

Li Chen also thought so, he had already planned it in his mind.

"Old Hou, Painted Skin is almost finished. I'm going back to Beijing in the next two days."

"If you're going to do it, do it in a big way. Isn't Dae Jang Geum so popular?"

"Then let's pour a basin of cold water on it to wake it up."

"It's a good way to kill two birds with one stone and give an unprecedented advertisement for Chuang Guandong!"

Hou Hongliang was no longer calm: "What do you mean, Li Chen?"

Li Chen smiled and didn't say much on the phone, only saying that he would talk about it after he returned to Beijing.

Mango TV has recently confirmed that it has bought the mainland premiere rights of Dae Jang Geum at a high price.

Now we just have to wait for it to pass the review and it will be available to the audience this year.

All the discs of Dae Jang Geum are sold out in the market.

This time Li Chen is going to stir up a huge storm.

Whoever is drowned deserves it.

I called Yang Siwei and asked her to prepare for the launch conference of Crossing the Guandong.

Li Chen had no other requirements, just mentioned two points: the momentum must be big and there must be enough attention!
next day
Southern Weekly News

The launch conference of the historical drama Crossing the Guandong, which is jointly invested by China Film Group and Rongchen Films with RMB 3200 million, will be held in the CPPCC Auditorium in the near future.

Sina Entertainment News

Ms. Yang Siwei, publicity director of Rongchen Pictures, was interviewed by our reporter.

The creation of the script of Crossing the Guandong was based on more than four months of field visits by a large number of crew members.

The first-hand information obtained was revised three times.

We strive to respect history and do our best to restore that true historical period.

Huaxia Daily reported
Our special correspondent interviewed Miss Yang Siwei, director of Rongchen Pictures, on the spot.

"Compare the extremely high ratings of the Korean drama Dae Jang Geum in South Korea and Southeast Asian countries."

“Does Chuang Guandong have the confidence to be a pioneer in Chinese dramas going abroad?”

Yang Siwei's heartbeat quickened and he smiled calmly.

"There is no comparison between the two. One is a historical drama, and the other is a cultural plunder with ill intentions."

The reporter was stunned for a moment.

It was not until the on-site staff reminded me that I realized this was a live interview.

"Director Yang, you have bad intentions and are plundering culture. Are you talking about the drama Dae Jang Geum?"

The reporter trembled a little.

She felt that the news was going to break today.

And it was a big bang!
Praise for Dae Jang Geum spread across Southeast Asian countries and in every country.

It was actually denounced as having ill intentions and cultural plunder, eight words that are so important!
If one thing goes wrong, Rongchen Pictures will be criticized by everyone and get into huge trouble.

After all, this drama has been introduced by Mango TV, the leading satellite TV station in China.

People also praise Dae Jang Geum highly.

Is this young Director Yang just because he is young and ignorant, and speaks without restraint, or is he doing it on purpose?
Yang Siwei was extremely nervous at this moment.

I silently thought in my heart: Boss, please don’t play tricks on me. If you mess up, I, Yang Siwei, will die before I even accomplish my mission!

Yang Siwei smiled and said, "Yes, I said these eight words represent Rongchen Pictures."

"Director Yang, can you tell me the basis for your eight words?"

Yang Siwei smiled and said, "Forget it. Let's wait until the press conference for Crossing Guandong and have Director Li tell the story. Maybe it will be more credible."

"Let's look forward to the press conference that day."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Huaxia Daily not only has an extraordinary status in the country.

More importantly, it is a window for the world to understand China.

Yang Siwei's speech is like a powder keg.

If things go wrong, Rongchen Pictures will be blown to pieces.

　Thank you for voting, thank you
