Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 598 The second generation seeking death
Zhizhen Painting Art Dream Factory is located in Lisui Town, Shunyi District, Beijing.

Before the business opened, most people in the circle thought that Li Chen was just talking big.

They are posing under the banner of supporting and promoting the development of special effects in Chinese films.

But when we visited it today, we were all dumbfounded.

The Wangs, big and small, who were among the guests, felt mixed emotions when they saw Li Chen introducing the structure of the company to Director Wang, Director Tong, Chairman Han and other leaders with great enthusiasm.

Now everyone is in the core of the entire Ultimate Painting Art: the visual effects department.

But this was not what surprised the two kings the most.

What surprised the two brothers the most was that Li Chen had formed a new technology research center with a group of highly educated R&D personnel he had found from somewhere.

According to him, not only is the imported equipment in this department ridiculously expensive, but the personnel are also incredibly expensive. Not only are the salaries high, but the academic qualifications are also frighteningly high.

The minimum educational qualification is also a master's degree from Central China.

This is obviously a serious move.
"Brother, now that Little Leo's ultimate weapon has come out, how can others have fun? Did you see that just now, Yang Shoucheng, Fatty Yu and Wu Bin were talking and laughing?" Wang Zhonglei had a smile on his face and his lips kept moving.

"No matter what, he has to have money to get things done." Wang Zhongjun followed his brother's words and glanced at Wu Bin who was sandwiched between Yang Shoucheng and Yu Dong.

"Director Wang, Director Tong, Chairman Han, and all my colleagues and friends, I would like to introduce to you this person, Yao Qi, the technical director of Zhizhen Painting Art and a schoolmate of mine and Director Wu's. "

"You may not know that the Noah's Ark in 2012 was designed by him." Li Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing the voice, everyone turned their eyes to the plain-looking man next to Li Chen.

Zhou Xun stood beside Liu Yifei and laughed softly, "Don't you think Director Li is becoming more and more like an insider of the system?"

"What do you mean?" Liu Yifei looked at Zhou Xun in confusion.

"What do you mean? You're becoming more and more like an official."

Liu Yifei glanced at her husband who was standing not far away and couldn't help but smiled and said, "Mr. Li? You know what, he really looks a bit like her."

Zhou Xun lowered his head, his shoulders shaking with laughter: "Yes, Mr. Li."

"Girl, do you know that being a big official and being an official are two different things?"

"I know! It's the difference between Mr. Ximen and Wudutou."

Zhou Xun: "."

Yao Qi felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect his boss to promote him so highly. He was just a participant in Noah's Ark.
Wu Bin is the project director of Zhizhen Painting Art and is responsible for the operation of the entire project management team.

At the dinner after the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Liu Yifei became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Yifei, congratulations and good luck with your opening."

"My boss just said that from now on, all special effects for our Yinghuang films and TV series will be handed over to Zhizhen. He also told me that he is relieved to hand it over to Director Li."

Huo Wenxi brought several female artists from Yinghuang to surround Liu Yifei, and their words were full of flattery.

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Sister Mani and Mr. Yang on behalf of Li Chen."

"The Great Magician" was released three days ago, and the film company has not released any information about the box office. However, Liu Yifei heard Li Chen say: "It is extremely difficult to make over 100 million yuan in the first week."
"Inverse War" will be released the day after tomorrow. I heard that the pre-sale box office is so-so. The two big dramas, Ying and Huang, are released only five days apart.

The original intention was to look forward to the decisive battle between "The Flowers of War" and "Dragon Gate".

Dominate January and even the upcoming Spring Festival period.

Although Tony Leung, Lau Ching Wan and Zhou Xun are not lacking in acting skills, a comedy film cannot achieve box office success just by having good acting skills.

So, in the glorious decades of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, there is only one Stephen Chow.

For someone like Xu Yong, it's fine if you let him make a cameo appearance in a comedy, but if you let him take the lead, the result would be that "Women Are Not Bad" would die miserably under "Jin Ping Mei".

Liu Yifei glanced at her man, only to see Jay Chou smiling like a waiter next to him and Han.

Li Chen and Han Sanping were talking to Jay Chou about his movie "Reverse War". Han Sanping smiled like Santa Claus and asked, "How is the pre-sale of "Reverse War"?"

Jay Chou smiled modestly and said, "It's definitely not comparable to The Flowers of War, Director Han."

Li Chen pointed at Jay Chou and joked, "Boss Han, you may not know that Mr. Yang has already made a bold statement that he is confident of winning 400 million."

"Both our Jay Chou and Ting-Feng Xie are full of confidence."

Zhou Jielun scratched his head and said, "Don't listen to Li Chen's nonsense. Mr. Han, I have no choice. I can't hold Ying Huang and Ting Feng back. In fact, I think 4 million is a bit difficult."

"You are still sober. Out of 400 million, 200 million is good enough. You still think you are a rich bachelor."

"One is divorced, the other is single, but there is no large-scale loss of fans, which is also due to Jay Chou's strength."

"Two hundred million? Two hundred million should be no problem!" Zhou Jielun felt guilty after hearing what Li Chen said.

“We’ll see.”

As the three were talking, Ying Huang's Yang Shoucheng came over with his godson.

Wherever Xie Tingfeng goes now, the most frequently asked questions are about his wife and son.

Zhang Baizhi is now known as box office poison and his star prospects are bleak.

Since his comeback last year, he first took on the dubbing work for the animated film "CJ7: Love the Earth" produced by Stephen Chow.

He then took on four major dramas including "Journey to the West", "The Heroines of the Yang Family", "The Best Wedding 2011" and "Racing".

The pay for a film is often over 61 million yuan, which means the daily salary is as high as yuan.

However, reality is extremely disappointing.

The box office revenue of the animated film "CJ7 Loves the Earth" was only 1620 million yuan.

The box office revenue of "Priceless" was only 2200 million yuan, which is in no way worthy of her tens of millions of yuan worth.

Until the release of "The Heroines of the Yang Family" two months ago, the box office revenue in three days was only 3 million yuan.

The film crew finally couldn't stand it anymore
After learning about the box office results, the gold medal screenwriter Xiao Ruoyuan blasted Zhang Baizhi as a "negative actor" and said that anyone who gets involved with her will be in trouble.

Wherever Xie Tingfeng goes, people ask him what he thinks of Zhang Baizhi's title of box office poison.

Divorce, photos, and negative news.

Only her agency and some coal bosses in the mainland are willing to pay for Zhang Baizhi, who is single and has a child.

"Mr. Han, Director Li." Yang Shoucheng was holding a glass of red wine with a kind smile on his face.

Then he nodded to Jay Chou, and then Tingfeng Xie stepped forward to congratulate Li Chen, her eyes a little evasive.

Li Chen, on the other hand, remained calm and didn't take him seriously at all. He just nodded slightly and smiled.

After a few polite words, Yang Shoucheng saw that Li Chen had no interest in talking to him more, so he took Xie Tingfeng to the table of Huayi Wang and Da Wang.

"Godfather, Director Li didn't seem to take the Yang Mi incident to heart, but it's also possible that he is very cunning. Anyway, I didn't see it." Xie Tingfeng said with a smile.

"It's all in the past. When people get along with each other, it's all about benefits. He doesn't have much to ask of us, so he can naturally treat us with a normal heart."

At the end of the banquet, Han Sanping pulled Li Chen aside and said, "Will there be any unexpected events at tomorrow's Golden Globe Awards?"

Li Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Boss Han, do you think the Golden Globe Awards belong to my family?"

Han Sanping glared at Li Chen and said, "Don't play dumb with me, kid! Just give me a definite answer, and I can sleep well tonight!"

Li Chen was speechless: "Boss Han, I still say the same thing, I have done everything I can, man proposes, go back and sleep peacefully." Han Sanping turned around and said before getting in the car: "Boy, if you lose again tomorrow, I will hold you accountable!"

At the opening ceremony of Zhizhen Painting Art, celebrities updated their Weibo in real time, showing photos of Zhizhen Painting Art’s large base, novel high-tech equipment, and Sina even broadcast a live broadcast with pictures and texts.

Netizens exclaimed, this is not the opening ceremony of a special effects company, it is simply a star-studded awards ceremony for the film and television industry, and not a single celebrity of lower status can be seen.

The excitement of the opening ceremony of Zhizhen had not yet died down, and good news came back from Hollywood the next day.

Han Sanping woke up with a smile, because "The Flowers of War" won the competition and Zhang Yimou also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director.
If he wins the Golden Globe, then is the Oscar far behind?

The internet was flooded with reports that Zhang Yimou had "finally won the Ballon d'Or after five battles."

The Weibo accounts of Nini, Tong Dawei and others are like machine guns, constantly updating the grand occasion of the Golden Globe Awards red carpet and the award ceremony.

Nini also shared a photo of her, Leon and Charlize Theron, captioning the photo: Thanks to Director Li and Teacher, my idol and idol actually knew me.
Han Sanping's voice on the phone could shatter Li Chen's eardrums: "Hahaha Li Chen, you are such a lucky guy! Hahaha."

"I want to correct you, Mr. Han, I don't rely on luck, I rely on strength!"

Han Sanping complained in his heart: "Come on, I don't care how much you did behind my back. But do you really think that I am called 'Third Master' for nothing?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Li Chen also called Zhang Yimou and asked him to lead the crew to make the final sprint for the Oscar, and not to do as he did with "Farewell My Concubine", thinking that everything would be fine after winning the Golden Globe, and then ignore everything else, which led to criticism from the American media.

After the Golden Globes, the crew of "The Hunger Games" landed in Beijing with great fanfare and began a China tour that would last more than a month.

Tim immediately released several sets of photos that Ms. Liu had recently shot for internationally renowned fashion magazines, which immediately made the front page headlines of The Hollywood Reporter and Sina Entertainment.

Sina Entertainment News

"Liu Yifei appeared on the cover of W magazine's February 2012 issue and was hailed as the Audrey Hepburn of the East."

"It is reported that Liu Yifei is the first Chinese actress to appear on the cover of W magazine since its founding in 1972."

Several sets of black and white blockbusters were downloaded crazily on the Internet, some of which were lazy, some were charming, some were pure, and some were sexy, making the fans feel like they had celebrated the Spring Festival in advance.

But there are also discordant voices.

"How can Liu Yifei be on the W level? Gong Li has never been there."

"Don't even mention Gongli. Goddess Man is also out of luck."

"I'm afraid Leo has activated his money ability!"

"You still need the ability to issue money? What does Time Warner do?"

The news that Liu Yifei appeared on "W" magazine completely broke the defenses of some female stars.

Zhang Ziyi secretly made up her mind that she must win over a richer man than ViVi!

If Li Chen knew what Zhang Ziyi was thinking at this moment, he would definitely mourn for her in his heart.

A few years later, Zhang finally gave up, and Wang in leather pants stamped his international seal.
If "The Flowers of War" wins, it will only make the thirteen producers smile.

When the news of the nomination and the Oscar nomination five days later reached China, the 13 domestic producers, as well as the General Administration, China Film Group and Zhang Yimou's alma mater, Beijing Film Academy, were extremely excited.

Both Zhang Yimou and Li Chen were crowned as gods.

China News Service, January 1
"After the top nine nominees for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film were announced on January 1, the second round of selection will produce five nominations. Zhang Yimou's film The Flowers of War, which represented mainland China, was nominated for an Oscar as expected."

"Not only that, The Flowers of War was also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay."

"This is the first time in 94 years that a mainland film has been nominated for an Oscar, following Farewell My Concubine in 18."

This time, even the school hung up a banner to congratulate Zhang Yimou, Class of 78, on his Oscar nomination.

But there are gains and losses.

The school organized a gathering of big names from the Class of 78. A poet who was busy filming "Search" said he couldn't come.

After Zhang Yimou was nominated for an Oscar, it became even more unlikely that he would come.

Without these two talented people, the gathering of level 78 big names suddenly lost its luster.

Li Chen and Zhang Yimou were named by the media as the two most influential directors since the founding of Beijing Film Academy.

Netizens even left a message: "A tree that doesn't move will die, but a person who moves will live. Zhang Yimou should have joined Leo earlier. If he had joined a few years earlier, he might have already had a little golden man in his hands."
Unlike netizens and the media, Li Chen is extremely low-key.

Otherwise, the poet would look at him coldly next time they meet.

"The Hunger Games" was being promoted all over the country, and Liu Yifei only had three days off during the Spring Festival.

The question most often asked by the media is whether he is worried that the word-of-mouth and box office of "The Hunger Games" will not meet expectations as it is his first leading film.

After all, if fans of the original "Hunger Games" are dissatisfied, Leo can do nothing about it.

On the last day of January, Chen Kaige posted a 78-word sentiment on Weibo, dedicated to his classmates. Only then did outsiders know about this incident.

The Shanxi crew of "1942" was in an uproar at this time, and Feng Xiaogang's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.

"What should I do, husband? Didn't he say he had to go back to Beijing for an urgent matter? Is this the urgent matter he was talking about?" Xu Fan had a gloomy face. The crew had just moved to Shanxi and this happened.

"I know what to do. Call Zhong Lei and let him make the decision!" Feng Xiaogang's face was dark.

If it had been someone else, he would have started cursing.

It turned out to be his eldest nephew, the son of his old friend Zhang Guoli.

Xu Fan quickly called Wang Zhonglei.

The two kings in the capital were extremely furious at this time.

Huayi is Zhang Mo’s agency.

Now that the West Poison has been caught in the act, apart from the 13-day trial card for the "Silver Bracelet", all the other films related to him have to be shelved.

"Damn it! How could Guoli give birth to such a thing!" Wang Zhonglei was furious and cursed.

This happened most of the night.

Wang Zhonglei called Zhang Guoli directly.

Zhang Guoli was still unaware. When he picked up the phone and heard what had happened, he was stunned and kept saying in astonishment, "How could this happen?"

Wang Zhonglei shouted angrily, "You ask me, who should I ask? He got into trouble last night. You're his father, don't you know? And you're still pretending to me?"

Under normal circumstances, Wang Zhonglei would definitely not be so angry. After all, his son is his artist, but his father runs his own company.

Zhang Guoli didn't have time to care about these things and just hung up the phone. When he called again, he found that he couldn't get in touch with that evil creature.

Not to mention that Zhang Guoli was panicking, Wang Zhonglei cried out in bad luck in front of his wife. How come Rongchen Pictures has always been so smooth sailing?

But after ten days or so, before Zhang Guoli's beloved son even walked out of the fence, something happened to the crew of Li Chen's "Vientiane Island".

This time, another second-generation rich fan appeared and made a ridiculous exit after some hurtful words from Li Chen. The popularity of the incident directly overshadowed the incident of Zhang Guoli and his son. It can be said that Li Chen indirectly helped Zhang Guoli.

Of course, this is a story for the future. Without Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick, the school had no choice but to find Li Chen, the big Buddha, to take charge. In fact, it was all just for the purpose of recruiting students.

The students taking the art exam this year have already prayed to gods, hoping that the examiner will still be Leo.

After all, Tang Yan has set up his own business and Yang Mi is about to leave this year, so Yi Xin Media will definitely have to recruit new people.

If you can be chosen by Leo, your future career will be a bright and glorious one.
