Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 573 Press Conference Answering Questions
After the banquet, Deputy Mayor Li met with Li Chen and his delegation in a conference room for half an hour.

His words expressed the earnest hope that Li Chen would devote all his energy to the film and television industry and cultural industry of the Republic of Korea.

It would be best if their film and television dramas could go global, with their movies winning the Oscars and their TV dramas dominating Southeast Asia.

After seeing off Mayor Li, Li Meijing saw that it was getting late and there was a press conference the next morning, so she said goodbye to Li Chen without saying a word about Li Bingxun's provocation today.

After getting in the car, Li Meijing sat in the back seat and closed her eyes to rest.

Deputy Lee Sung-jae sat quietly in the passenger seat without being disturbed.

"Sungjae, has Director Lee always been so unreasonable?"

Lee Sung-jae is in charge of the promotion and marketing of CJ Entertainment’s films in Greater China and is an expert on China.

We have conducted in-depth research and understanding of Li Chen's character and strength.

"President, let me give you an example. The Azure Dragon just ended."

"China's Golden Rooster and our Blue Dragon have the same unique status in the film circles of both countries."

"Even so, Director Li has only been to the Golden Rooster Awards once in all these years, the year he made his debut."

"He seems to have nothing to do with Jin Ji forever, but he is still unscathed and is highly valued by his superiors."

"You know without me telling you that Wu Yusen and Zhang Weiping will either be defeated or retire early if they face Director Li."

Li Meijing opened her eyes and smiled: "Li Bingxun is lacking in talent and eloquence after all."

"His assistant is also a fool. Director Li is indeed not a simple person."

Li Chengzai said no more. After so many years in China, he understood the principle of talking too much leads to mistakes better than that idiot who rashly wanted to stand up for his boss.

Li Chengsheng in the other car was not so at ease. South Koreans have similar names. If you only look at their ID cards without Chinese characters, you can't even tell who is who.

"President, Li Chen is so rude! He actually dared to embarrass you in public, he thinks this is a BJ!"

"Shut up! Is this what you mean by teaching him a lesson? Trash!" Li Bingxun suddenly roared with a ferocious look on his face.

The deputy was so frightened that he remained silent, not daring to look him in the eye.

Li Zaicheng felt very aggrieved. He did not expect that this Chinese man was so indifferent and still maintained his usual tough style when he arrived at their territory.

“Remember this! If My Love from the Star comes out, hmm! You’ll have to clean up your mess and go have a heart-to-heart with the old man!”

Hearing Li Bingxun's bone-chilling voice, Li Chengzai couldn't help but shudder.

This naked threat is terrifying.

Korean Wave is not only fierce, but also dirty.

How dirty is it? It’s dirty enough as long as the Chinese people today are willing.

I'm afraid that tonight SBS and KBS will be able to add a few more familiar faces to the Korean people on his big bed, both men and women.

Li Chen and Liu Yifei returned to the room, and Liu Yifei took off all her burdens and took a comfortable bath.

Li Chen originally wanted to go together, but Miss Liu refused and rejected him with the words "this is outside".

After taking a shower, Miss Liu dried her long hair, got into bed and started chatting with Li Chen.

Miss Liu squeezed into Li Chen's arms and changed into a comfortable position: "You stole the limelight today. Didn't I tell you before I came here? In the end, it was all in vain."

Li Chen stroked his wife's hair with his chin and smiled with his eyes closed: "How can it be in vain? You saw it too. They provoked me first today. I just responded to their moves."

"Xixi, remember one thing."

"Huh? You say."

“The enemy of my enemy may be my friend, but my enemy is always an enemy and can never be a friend.”

Liu Yifei chewed over Li Chen's tongue-twister-like words, not quite understanding them.

"Since Dae Jang Geum was driven out of the country by me, this knot has been tied."

"You are still too kind and too innocent. Without me protecting you, you can't even make it in the domestic entertainment industry."

Li Chen pinched Miss Liu's delicate nose affectionately.

"Ouch! Let go!" Miss Liu slapped Li Chen's big hand as if she was chasing away a fly.

Although her husband was making fun of her, she knew that he was telling the truth.

My husband always says that the domestic entertainment industry is the cleanest. Compared with Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, the domestic entertainment industry is simply a pure land.

Over the years, she also understood that without her husband protecting her from the wind and rain, she would be in trouble.

Maybe she had already been devastated by rumors and slander.

Even my mother has changed her attitude now. She thinks she has good vision and found the right person at first sight.

At this moment, she was not angry at her husband's ridicule.

The deep love and care in her husband's tone made her heart feel sweet.

She turned over and sat on top of her husband, grinning, "So you will always protect me?"

Li Chen seemed to be infected by his wife. He put his hands behind his head and looked at his smiling wife with a happy mood.

He let her ride on his abdomen and between his legs and sway dishonestly.

"That doesn't make sense. A man's job is to protect women and children from the wind and rain."

"You are my woman, and you gave birth to my child. If I don't protect you, who will I protect?"

There were women, men and children involved, and Li Chen's slightly vulgar words made Miss Liu feel particularly happy.

Miss Liu lay silently on her husband, listening to his strong heartbeat.

"I know I've always known you're good to me, but I just want to hear you say it, and I never get tired of hearing it."

Li Chen smiled and kissed his wife on the forehead: "As long as you want to hear it, I will tell you every day in the future."

"But now, shouldn't you be nicer to me?" As Li Chen spoke, one of his big hands naturally covered Miss Liu's buttocks.

How could Miss Liu, who was lying on Li Chen, not understand what this meant?

Miss Liu's body was hot, and soon, suppressed murmurs were heard in the room.
Sina Entertainment News

From Yonhap News Agency

"Li Chen declared in Seoul that there is only one Chinese market in the world, but there is more than one MBC in South Korea!"

"MBC's head has suffered a setback for Leo."

"Yesterday, CJ Entertainment held a grand welcome banquet for Rongchen Pictures at the Shilla Hotel."

"The three major TV stations in South Korea, celebrities from all walks of life, and famous actresses such as Kim Hee Sun, who is known as the most beautiful woman in South Korea, appeared at the same time."

"At the welcome banquet, Li Chen and MBC Chairman Li Bingxun had a lot of hostility, and Li Bingxun left before the banquet was over."

"The two sides had already had disagreements because of the obstacles in bringing Dae Jang Geum into China."

In the early morning of the next day, the contents of the banquet were revealed on domestic portal websites and Weibo.

The photo of two beauties, Liu Yifei and Kim Hee Sun, was also placed on the headlines of major entertainment sections.

Li Chen didn't expect that his words would ignite the enthusiasm of the country.

On Weibo, in forums, and in various QQ groups, people were discussing Li Chen’s words.

"Little Leo's words sound very interesting!"

"That's right! We can live without kimchi! But can kimchi live without porcelain?"

"Leo can be a diplomat if he doesn't want to be in the entertainment industry!"

"MBC is so rampant, I won't watch it even if it's introduced, I definitely won't watch it!"

Han Sanping received a call from Tong Gang as soon as he arrived at the office.

"Sanping, what Li Chen said is very sophisticated."

"Director Tong, this kid is just a sweet talker!"

"Hahaha, we are people within the system and cannot say harsh words, but Li Chen said what many of us wanted to say."

"No wonder this kid refuses to join the association. It's good this way. Without the constraints of rules and regulations, let him express himself freely."

Li Chen's words sparked discussion not only in the entertainment industry, but also caused ripples among the upper class.

Han Sanping hung up the phone with Tong Gang and called Li Chen.

He knew that Li Chen had the habit of doing morning exercises.

Sure enough, the call was connected quickly. Li Chen was having breakfast in the room with his equally happy wife, looking very satisfied, and he really didn't want to answer Lao Han's call.

"You made headlines in both countries on your first day in Seoul! You're more impressive than the leaders!"

"What's so impressive about it? It's just a fox relying on the power of a tiger. Only when the country is strong can we Chinese feel confident when we are abroad!"

Han Saping was really surprised. He didn't expect Li Chen to have such awareness.

Originally, he didn't want to tell Li Chen that Director Tong called him early in the morning to praise him, for fear that this kid would become more lawless.

Who knew that this kid was more clear-headed than anyone else.

"Yes, you have matured. I won't say much. Come back to China as soon as possible. I will keep an eye on The Flowers of War."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Han."

At 10 o'clock Seoul time, CJ's Li Meijing and her group arrived at the Shilla Hotel with great fanfare.

Chinese and foreign media had already been waiting in the conference hall for today's two protagonists: CJ Entertainment and Rongchen Pictures.

Today's press conference for the establishment of RC Entertainment was broadcast live on SBS TV in South Korea because of Li Chen.

In China, Sina broadcasts live text and pictures.

The online live broadcast room is as lively as the on-site conference hall.

Miss Liu tied her husband's tie and carefully tidied up the corners of his clothes.

Li Chen looked at his wife with a serious expression, and frivolously pinched Miss Liu's chin and lightly touched her rosy lips.

"It's so fragrant!"

Miss Liu remained unmoved, her face still charming. After fixing Li Chen, she said softly, "Be careful and don't let the media eat you up. I'm not by your side!"

"Don't worry, this kind of situation is nothing."

"Do you know what I like most about you?" Miss Liu looked at her husband's high spirits and liked him more and more.

Li Chen shook his head lightly and smiled: "I only know what you dislike most about me!"

Miss Liu was stunned and blurted out: "Which point?"

She really couldn't think of what she disliked most about her husband.

"Of course you wouldn't like it most if I loved you less!"

Miss Liu was stunned for a moment, then she reacted immediately and laughed in her heart: So that's how it is, but I do hope that my husband will love me more.

The door of the multi-functional conference hall was pushed open.

As Li Chen and Li Meijing's people appeared one after another, the scene suddenly became more boiling.

Jun Ji-hyun and Zhang Yixing sat on the far right of the stage, and in the middle sat the two heads of the family, Li Chen and Li Meijing.

The media stood up.

As the host, Li Meijing first thanked the media present today.

Then Lee Sung-jae signaled the media to be quiet.

"Today is the day RC Entertainment was established. Thank you to all the media friends who came from afar. If you have any questions, you can ask Director Li and Chairman Li now."

The first person to raise his hand was the Seoul media "National Daily": "Director Li, I am a reporter from the National Daily. MBC will have 14 dramas to meet the audience next year, and RC Entertainment currently has only one. How do you make RC Entertainment gain a foothold?"

Li Meijing's expression remained unchanged. When she heard this question, she knew that MBC was not scared by Li Chen's words.

Li Chen glanced at the Kookmin Daily reporter calmly and said with a smile, "The way you asked this question made me think you were a reporter from MBC."

Everyone at the scene laughed. The reporter was not embarrassed either. He was just waiting for Li Chen's answer.

"Director Li, you haven't answered my question yet."

Liu Yifei was watching Sina's live broadcast in the room.

The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room has filled the screen.

"This guy is here to sabotage us!"

"Come on, Leo!"

"The Koreans are so insidious! If this person has nothing to do with Lee Byung-hun, no one would believe it."

Liu Yifei watched domestic netizens online expressing their sympathy for her husband, and wondered how she would deal with the situation if she were in it.

Given her temper, she would most likely ask back: How do you know that "My Love from the Star" is not as good as MBC's 14 series.

Since her debut, she has confronted many reporters.

Some people said that she chose Li Chen for money, and she immediately retorted: Are you short of money?
Afterwards, her husband said something that she still doesn’t understand: A fairy will always be a fairy, she won’t change at all.

When Liu Yifei was distracted, Li Chen had already given the answer.

"Among the 11 dramas on MBC last year, there didn't seem to be "Dream High"?"

This one sentence left most of the netizens in the live broadcast room confused.

But someone has already answered questions in the live broadcast room.

"The top-rated show in South Korea last year was KBS's Dream High, which had nothing to do with MBC."

"Damn, Leo is awesome. This is a battle that should not be fought without preparation."

"So what if there are only 14 movies? Those who can't win the ratings championship are just a bunch of rabble!"

Liu Yifei looked at the comments in the live broadcast room and wondered who knew so much about South Korean TV dramas.

I never thought about how many of Yang Siwei’s disciples were in the live broadcast room.

The reporter from the National Daily in the conference hall immediately sat down with an embarrassed look on his face.

Li Chen continued to pursue the question: "We Chinese have a saying that quality is more important than quantity, and quantity does not represent quality."

“The quality of Rongchen Pictures is the quality of RC Entertainment.”

Some media at the scene took the lead in applauding.

Li Chen turned his head and glanced at Li Meijing.

Li Meijing looked calm. Both her own side and her competitors would look for this kind of media that set the tone.

"Director Li, I'm a reporter from Yonhap News Agency. Why would a Chinese actor be chosen as the male lead in a Korean drama? Don't we have a suitable actor in the Republic of Korea?"

This question is more acute than the first one.

Even the netizens in the live broadcast room started to make a noise!
"Nonsense! The Republic of Korea is just a small place. How big is it? It's just as big as Japan."

"This, really doesn't exist!"

"Well, yes. For example, Han Shiya."

"Jiang Yinhui is not bad either!"

The style of the live broadcast room gradually became distorted, and Liu Yifei felt unfamiliar with these names.

From the moment it was announced that Zhang Yixing was going to act in a Korean drama, Li Chen knew that someone would ask this question.

But I never responded directly before.

This kind of question is not difficult for Li Chen at all.

"Let me answer you in one sentence." Li Chen said with a smile.

The scene suddenly became quiet, and even Li Meijing pricked up her ears.

The presidents of the three major TV stations are also watching the live broadcast at this moment.

MBC's Lee Byung-hoon was furious when he saw the annoying look of Lee Chen on TV.

In any case, Li Chen's Qi cultivation skills are indeed better than his. In this situation, there is no panic or timidity on his face.

Li Bingxun sighed and heard Li Chen's voice coming from the TV: "Culture knows no national boundaries."

"Are all the actors in American TV series American? Who plays the role of Xue Hua in Xue Hua and the Secret Fan?"

Jun Ji-hyun froze and immediately sat up straight. She didn't expect to be called by Director Li suddenly.

The media at the scene all looked at Jun Ji-hyun, but Li Meijing smiled, thinking that Director Li was not only capable but also had outstanding eloquence.

There was applause again, and the Yonhap News Agency reporter also smiled and clapped.

Liu Yifei in the hotel room chuckled, and suddenly felt relieved. She said to herself, "I'm going to sew your mouth shut one day and see if you can still speak!"
