Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 57 The Protagonist in Cannes

Sina Entertainment News

Painted Skin, a magical martial arts epic with an investment of 100 million yuan, was completed in Hengdian yesterday.

The reporter learned from director Li Chen that Painted Skin may meet the audience during the Lunar New Year holiday this year.

As soon as this news came out, netizens immediately started discussing it hotly.

"Director Li, is he planning to enter the Lunar New Year movie season?"

"If there is no thief, there will be a good show to watch during the Lunar New Year holiday this year!"

"The one above, although there is no No Thief in this year's Lunar New Year film season, there is The Promise!"

"Not only during the Lunar New Year, Director Li and Director Chen will also be at Cannes, hehe."

“Even if Director Chen didn’t attend the film festival, he’s still the most famous person in Cannes.”

"Director Li and Director Wang, the main players of the Cannes Film Festival, have been overshadowed by Director Chen, a troublemaker."

Chen Kaige was completely arrogant at this moment.

In front of his wife Chen Hong, he also acts like a king who looks down on the world.

"A clown will only bring shame upon himself."

Chen Hong walked behind Chen Kaige.

She massaged her husband's shoulders and said, "Okay, okay, why are you arguing with two juniors?"

"The slander in the media and online may not necessarily be their own thoughts."

"Besides, if you don't attract envy, you are a mediocre person. Others try their best to attract attention but still can't."

Chen Kaige patted his wife's hand and said nothing more.

He fully believed in this work which took him three years to complete.

This painstakingly produced masterpiece, The Promise, will surely win at Cannes this time.

Although it did not participate in the film festival, Wuji invited 258 top film producers from around the world to attend its promotion meeting.

The released trailer was also produced by France's top filmmaker.

The poster was written by a comics master from the island country.

He even spent tens of millions to rent the most famous CL Castle in the area.

The standard meal cost for each guest is 900 Euros.

The quality is in no way inferior to the premieres of top Hollywood productions.

Wang Xiaoshuai and a fledgling Li Chen were lucky enough to be shortlisted for the film festival.

There is no way to compare with him.

Even if I, Chen Kaige, did not participate in the Cannes Film Festival.

Still the protagonist of Cannes!
When Han Sanping saw the news from Sina, he called directly.

"Do you have to choose the Lunar New Year movie?"

Li Chen smiled and said, "Well, it will be released during the Lunar New Year sooner or later. Doesn't Painted Skin have the strength to do so?"

"Okay, then Painted Skin and Wuji will be separated and can be put together with Ruguoai."

Li Chen was speechless. Doesn't that mean the two films starring Zhou Xun are competing with each other?

Han Sanping really cares about protecting Wuji.

This shot was too biased. Li Chen seriously suspected that Han Sanping had something against Chen Kexin.

But when he thought about the tragic situation that Han Sanping would face after The Promise was released, Li Chen felt sorry for him.

However, if you put Painted Skin and Chen Kexin's works together, I don't feel inferior at all.

Han Sanping continued, "You're back in Beijing, come visit me."

Li Chen sent a text message to Miss Liu before boarding the plane.

The Condor Heroes will be wrapped up in four or five days.

Miss Liu called him and said she would come back as soon as The Return of the Condor Heroes was finished, but she was also busy.

There are already a lot of endorsements and announcements waiting for her.

Returned to the company.

The assistant brought several invitation letters and invitation cards to Li Chen.

"Director Li, Director Yang can't make up his mind about these letters, so you have to come up with it."

Li Chen picked it up and took a look.

There is the premiere of Big Brother Long’s Myth, and it seems that this cannot be postponed.

After all, last year’s New Police Story had its own version of that.

There is also an invitation letter for award presenters at the Shanghai International Film Festival.

Li Chen shook his head and chuckled. It’s been several months now.

It was probably a spur-of-the-moment decision after seeing that he was shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival.

There is also the premiere of Xu Laoguai's Seven Swords, but the location is in Changsha. If I were in Beijing, I might be interested in watching Xu Laoguai's Seven Swords.

Forget about Changsha.

When Xu Zheng came to the company, his whole temperament seemed different.

Every gesture reveals a sense of confidence.

Over the past month, many people have been willing to invest in him to make a movie.

But Xu Zheng declined politely.

He knew in his heart that the nightclub had made a good start for him.

But his reputation has not yet been established, it can only be considered as a start.

Besides, everyone knows that the script was written by Director Li and the producer is also Director Li.

He simply took advantage of Rongchen Pictures' good reputation.

At this time, he didn't want to make quick money and end up ruining the hard-earned good start, which would be a waste of time.

"Please sit down. We are familiar with each other. There is no need to be so restrained." Li Chen said with a smile.

"I still have to thank Director Li for giving me this opportunity. During this period of time, I was really in pain and happy at the same time," Xu Zheng laughed with a sigh.

Li Chen said: "How can you say that?"

Xu Zheng laughed and said, "Director Li doesn't know that many people have come to me to film recently."

"There are all kinds of people, including coal bosses, film and television company bosses, and even big companies like Huayi."

Li Chen smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? Once you become famous, everyone will know you."

"Director Li, please stop making fun of me."

"Others may not know, but I also may not know."

"The script of the nightclub can be filmed well by anyone else."

"It's not that I, Xu Zheng, am extremely talented, it's just that Director Li gave me the opportunity." Xu Zheng said modestly.

"Most of these people came to me with ulterior motives, or the scripts were too thin."

"I was very cautious and didn't dare to agree to any of them."

Li Chen smiled at Xu Zheng without saying anything. Xu Zheng was indeed a smart man.

Don't be blinded by the illusion before your eyes.

Li Chen felt that it was time to hand over Lost in Thailand to Xu Zheng.

Lost on Journey has been released for almost two years.

I had originally planned to hand over Lost in Thailand and Lost in Hong Kong to Xu Zheng.

As the continuation of the Lost series, both Lost in Thailand and Lost in Hong Kong are labeled Lost on Journey.

And when it comes to selecting people, Zhao Yanzi and Baobei should just give it a rest.

Li Chen stood up and took out the script of Lost in Thailand from the cabinet and placed it in front of Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng looked at the eye-catching big words "Lost in Thailand" on it.

Puzzled, "Director Li, what is this?"

Li Chen smiled and said, "Even if you don't come to see me, I will come to see you when I come back from Cannes."

"This is the second part of the embarrassing series, and there will be a third part later."

"Finish the embarrassing series for me, and I won't be so nervous anymore."

Xu Zheng said cautiously: "Director Li, can I take a look at the script first?"

Li Chen smiled and said, "You are the director, of course you can."

Half an hour later, Xu Zheng left the Jinxiu Mingzuan Center.

Looking back at the tall building behind him, Xu Zheng was filled with ambition.

He turned around and strode away with the script of Lost in Thailand.

When he got home, his wife Taohong stepped forward and took the file bag from him: "You're back. How was the talk?"

Xu Zheng smiled and said, "You will know if you open the file bag."

"Lost in Thailand? Lost on Journey 2? Did you get it done?" Taohong said happily after opening it.

Xu Zheng sat on the sofa and drank some water before he smiled and said, "Before I even opened my mouth, Director Li already knew what I was here for."

"Director Li has been prepared for a long time and has even contacted the actors."

"We will invest 20 million yuan. Apart from the leading actors confirmed by Director Li, I will make the final decision on the rest."

Taohong sat next to Xu Zheng, looking at the man beside her, and felt more and more fortunate for her original decision.

With the script in hand, money and connections, Xu Zheng was full of energy and enthusiasm: "Sooner or later, we will become people like Director Li."
