Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 596 Two Tigers
Weibo Night, China World Trade Center.

When Liu Yifei, wearing a dark green evening dress and a Gucci high-end jewelry necklace, walked slowly onto the stage, she was so beautiful that she was beyond compare.

The hearts of most of the female stars at the scene were not as bright as the smiles they showed on their faces.

The hosts Xie Na and Liang Yongbin are one crazy and one steady.

Xie's signature magical smile gives people the feeling that he knows everyone well.

Liu Yifei felt disgusted as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Let's not ask where Director Li went. I heard a lot of people in the audience wondering why Director Li didn't come to receive the award today, but asked Yifei to receive it on his behalf."

"Let's first ask Yifei, for long-term promotions abroad, do you rely more on Weibo?"

Although Liu Yifei was annoyed, her acting skills allowed her to respond with a smile even if she hated someone.

Liu Yifei leaned forward slightly, smiling appropriately: "First of all, let me correct it. It's not long-term. This is the first time."

"This time it's been relatively long. I haven't had the chance to go home for about three months in total, so I miss home, my family, and the delicious food from my hometown."

"But after Weibo came into being, I found that there is no distance in this world. After Weibo came into being, I felt that I could keep up with Beijing at any time, I could keep up with my motherland at any time, and I could see my friends, the people I care about and the people who care about me at any time."

Cao Guowei silently gave Liu Yifei a thumbs up in his heart! He is considering whether he should have Liu Yifei as a Weibo ambassador.

Xie Na interrupted and said with a smile: "The ones you miss the most should be Xiao Wuxia and Director Li, right? Director Li didn't come to the scene today. Would you mind telling us the reason?"

Liu Yifei smiled slightly: "He is not in Beijing, he is in the United States, otherwise he would definitely come, he asked me to thank netizens and Sina Weibo for their kindness."

"He also said that he would continue to work hard to win the honor again next year."

"Director Li is really a mysterious dragon that is hard to find. In just a few days, he has been to Hong Kong Island, Shenzhen, Beijing, and the United States. It must have been very tiring."

Although the stars in the audience had smiles on their faces, they were secretly criticizing Xie Na, the host, for his low level of skills.

Who here doesn't want this kind of hardship?

"Li Chen went to the United States? What did he do in the United States?" Wang Zhonglei in the audience muttered to himself.

He also won a prize today, and Yu Dong, who was not far away, also frowned.

The stars in the audience were whispering to each other, discussing in low voices why Director Li was going to the United States.

"Is Director Li's trip to the United States related to President Deng?" Chen Kun was really curious. Apart from Deng Wendi, there was no one else who could make Li Qiaoqiao call her Sister Deng.

Li Qiaoqiao shook his head, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "I don't know either. Should it be business, or big business?"

In Li Qiaoqiao's opinion, being able to meet with a giant like Merck must be about more than just 10 or 20 million.

Chen Kun nodded slightly. Li Qiaoqiao's words were vague, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

He then turned his attention to Liu Yifei, who was radiant on the stage.

I felt so emotional: "If I had known that she would marry Director Li, I wouldn't have said a word even if he played Bai Xiuzhu like a wooden man!"

Because of Liu Yifei's incident, Chen Kun learned a lesson and will never offend beautiful women, especially beautiful female stars, easily.

Weibo Night ended, and the bodyguard assistant escorted Liu Yifei out of the venue. As soon as she got into the nanny car, Li Qiaoqiao called.

Liu Yifei took a look, hesitated for a moment, and finally answered the call.

"Sister Qiao Qiao?"

"Yifei, you walked so fast. I couldn't find you in the blink of an eye."

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do. If I walk too slowly, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk. Is there something that Sister Qiaoqiao wants to talk about?"

Li Qiaoqiao didn't know how to start the conversation, so Deng Wendi asked her to help find out. She had just called Yang Siwei.

Yang Siwei didn’t know whether he really didn’t know or was just not convenient to disclose it, and the result was naturally no result.

As a last resort, she had no choice but to call Liu Yifei.

"It's like this, Yifei, Sister Deng is Wendi Deng who just asked me to help ask Director Li why he met with Mo Keduo."

"I know it's a bit presumptuous of me to ask this. It would be best if you could tell me if it's convenient for you. If it's not convenient, that's fine too. I've done my best." Li Qiaoqiao said with a smile, looking frank and thick-skinned.

"Sister Qiaoqiao, I'm sorry. I rarely ask about his work, unless he tells me on his own initiative. I only know that he and Mo Keduo are going to meet."

Liu Yifei did not lie, she indeed only knew a rough idea, but even that was not a "rough idea" that she could tell to an outsider like you, Li Qiaoqiao.

Li Qiaoqiao didn't believe it in her heart, and could only smile helplessly: "Director Li is becoming more and more unfathomable. We little actors are far behind him. If you have good things in the future, don't forget me."

"Yeah, no problem, Sister Qiaoqiao."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei turned it to silent mode.

A Weibo Night is so tiring, with the red carpet, accepting awards and accepting awards on behalf of others, and having to deal with the hypocrisy of celebrities.

Especially some bold and unrestrained female stars, who really make her unable to bear the sight of them. They wear revealing clothes and their ambitions are even more exposed.

Female stars gathered around Yu Dong, Cao Guowei and Wang Zhonglei, and some even wanted to stick to them.

If their husbands were here today, even if they were by their side, I'm afraid these ferocious actresses would not restrain themselves.

She has hardly had any social events since her debut.

But even if you have never eaten pork, you must have seen a pig run, like the banquet after tonight's Weibo Night.

This is the stage for female stars to show their talents.

Liu Yifei's guess was correct. At this moment, Yu was hugging women left and right and was very happy.

Two days ago, Yuan Li married a foreigner, and Yu's nightlife became colorful again.

Los Angeles

Li Chen and Murdoch met at Murdoch's large estate in Beverly Hills, very close to Li Chen's Crystal House.

But the area and price are four or five times that of Crystal Wu.

The gate of the manor slowly opened, and a black Lincoln and two Mercedes-Benz slowly drove into the manor.

Li Chen sat in the spacious and soft back seat of the black Lincoln with his eyes closed, as he was about to have a meeting with Merck.

The old man is 81 years old this year, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is still very successful.

If he is willing to make an effort, winning the Oscar will not be a big deal.

Li Chen remembered that in his previous life, in order to help Trump win the throne, Fox even invited people who hyped up the old witch's improper relationship with aliens as guests to criticize the old witch.

"Boss, Murdoch is not an ordinary person. His shadow is behind all the British and American companies." Tim reminded kindly.

Even if Tim didn't say it, Li Chen would know it.

"Tim, we Chinese have a saying: hit the snake at its most vulnerable part. What do you think Murdoch wants most?"

"What do you want most?" Tim thought hard but couldn't come up with an answer.

Li Chen did not explain much, and the group got out of the car not far from the entrance.

Immediately, three young men in the same uniform came up and took charge of parking the car.

A white man in a suit came up to greet him with a smile and bowed slightly: "Dear guest, welcome to Moraga Manor. Mr. Murdoch has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me."

Li Chen nodded, and several people followed the white middle-aged man who claimed to be Murdoch's butler and got on the electric car in the manor that was specially responsible for picking up and dropping off guests. After passing four villas, Li Chen saw Murdoch's figure.

According to the housekeeper, there are 11 villas in the Mercado estate, but they are rarely occupied.

Li Chen suddenly thought of the ancient emperors’ palaces, 11 villas, and you didn’t even know where they lived, let alone assassination or kidnapping.

Before Li Chen got out of the car, Murdoch walked towards him from the entrance of the villa and said with a smile: "Li, the first time I met you in Shanghai, I knew we were destined to be together. How about it, my hunch was right, right? Welcome."

Li Chen got out of the car and shook hands with Murdoch, saying with a smile: "Murdoch, you are supposed to be our Chinese son-in-law, but you can't speak a word of Chinese."

"This shows that you don't take us Chinese seriously."

Tim secretly smacked his lips in his heart: "The boss is really direct"

Murdoch laughed and said, "You are wrong, Li. I am old, but I require all my children to learn Chinese."

Li Chen nodded and smiled: "It seems that I misunderstood you."

A young man behind Murdoch said: "Dad requires us brothers and sisters to speak Chinese. I can testify to this."

Murdoch said again: "Lee, this is my son James, he is in charge of our group's Asian business, let's go in and talk, please."

"Please." Li Chen took a look at the white young man, then walked towards the villa side by side with Mercado.

James and Tim followed closely behind.

After entering the villa and sitting down, the two sides exchanged a few pleasantries and then got down to business.

The time of both Murdoch and Li Chen is precious.

"Li, I'm very curious that you came to America to see me this time. I can't think of anything that would be worth your coming all the way to visit me in person. As far as I know, your Chinese New Year is coming soon."

"And it looks like your Ultimate Art Dream Factory will hold its grand opening ceremony in a week."

Li Chen smiled and said, "That's right, but some things are urgent, so I have no choice but to visit Mr. Murdoch."

"Now that you mention it, I'm even more curious." Mercado's smile was full of wrinkles.

"Then I'll be frank. I hope The Flowers of War can win an Oscar this time."

Mercado frowned slightly. He thought it was something else. This matter was worth the most mysterious oriental tycoon coming all the way to find him.

"Li, isn't Warner Bros. doing your PR for The Flowers of War?"

Li Chen nodded: "That's right, but Warner only promised to do his best."

"So you came to me. You should go to that Weinstein guy for this kind of thing."

"If Warner can't do it, how can you be sure that our group can do it?" Murdoch said with a smile.

Li Chen also smiled: "It may be difficult for others, but for you, Murdoch, it may be easy."

Li Chen complained in his heart, you can even interfere with who is in charge in Britain, America and Australia, the little golden man is nothing.

Murdoch remained silent, looking at Li Chen with a playful look in his eyes: "How can you be sure that I will help you?"

"This is only the second time we have met until today."

Li Chen smiled and said, "Helping me is helping yourself."

"News Corporation has had a turbulent year this year. The 'phone-hacking scandal' has put its British market in jeopardy, and its plan to acquire Sky TV has had to be shelved."

"After the setback in the Chinese market, Mr. Murdoch, I think your News Corporation, like your age, has passed its heyday."

"If nothing changes, I'm afraid this downward spiral will continue."

The Murdoch father and son gradually became serious after hearing what Li Chen said. Tim silently gave his boss a thumbs up in his heart.

Not many people dare to speak to Murdoch like this.

The Merck people are old and have little energy. They need to drink some water after exerting themselves a little.

After a moment, Murdo laughed again and said, “Lee, if someone else had spoken to me like this today, I’m afraid they would have been thrown out of Moraga.”

"But you are an exception. Keep talking."

Li Chen smiled and said, "Mercedes, we Chinese have a saying that there can't be two tigers in one mountain. Two tigers can only lead to two outcomes."

"Either one eats the other, or one voluntarily admits defeat and chooses to leave."

"And you, News Corporation and Warner, are like two tigers."

Murdoch's heart was so shocked that even his hands were shaking a little.

It was really Li Chen's words and the look in his eyes at this moment that were too powerful.

He felt as if he were standing naked before this young man, with no secrets at all.

Murdoch did have the intention of acquiring Warner, but he never mentioned this idea to anyone.

Today, a Chinese person suddenly pointed out to him that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage and went to see God early.

"Li, how do I know if you are bragging? To be frank, you are not even a newcomer in the media industry."

Li Chen laughed out loud, and Murdoch also laughed.

The slight trembling of Mercado's fingers did not escape Li Chen's eyes.

Li Chen put away his smile and said, "I always like to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight, but I also have a trump card, but I haven't made up my mind which tiger to stand behind."

"Warner Bros. is not even sure about something as small as "The Flowers of War", which makes me hesitate."

Both Murdoch and his son understood what Li Chen meant. "The Flowers of War" was the key.

The father and son looked at each other, and James nodded slightly to his father.

Mo Keduo suddenly smiled and said, "Li, it's rare for you to come. I have prepared the most sumptuous dinner for you. Let's eat and chat at the same time."

"After dinner, let James accompany you to relax in Moraga."

Li Chen was not in a hurry and said with a smile: "Okay, the guest follows the host's wishes."

It was not until after dinner when Murdoch said to relax that Li Chen understood what it meant.

Among those 11 villas, one is filled with blonde, blue-eyed, busty and long-legged female monsters.

This reminded Li Chen of the story about a vice president of a court learning a foreign language.

Li Chen was not worthy of it, so Tim accepted it all with a smile.

After leaving Moraga, Tim felt only four words deep in his heart, which is a new idiom he had learned recently: floating in the air.

"Boss, from today on, I don't believe in God, I believe in you, you are my God."

"That old fellow Murdoch was actually persuaded by you."

"Boss, does News Corporation really intend to acquire Warner?"

Li Chen ignored the crazy Tim. He didn't know whether Murdoch had this idea or not.

But in the past, News Corporation's 800st Century Business Herald did offer $ billion to acquire Time Warner, but it was unsuccessful.
