Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 70: The Secret Fight Without Swords and Blades

Li Chen did not rush to reject Xiang Huaqi's invitation.

Yang Siwei and Tangtang were having dinner with Li Chen.

Yang Siwei said, "Boss, if you don't want to go to Xiang Hua's invitation, I will reply to them."

Li Chen smiled and said, "No need, Xiang Huaqiang is the vice president of the Hong Kong Film Association after all."

"I'm not going to refuse this little bit of face."

Yang Siwei said with a smile: "Boss, I heard that the family has a black background, aren't you afraid?"

Li Chen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yang Siwei: "You have been with me for two years."

"Why are you still so childish?"

Yang Siwei was stunned, not knowing what he had said wrong.

Glancing at Tangtang beside her, Tang Yan didn't understand what the boss meant.

Li Chen put down his bowl and chopsticks and wiped the corner of his mouth.

Then he said, "Who among these people in the Hong Kong circle doesn't have a black background?"

"There is none in Yinghuang? What do the senior executives of Yinghuang named Yu do?"

"You think Yang Shoucheng is hello kitiy?"

"As long as the overall situation is not affected, Yinghuang and Zhongguoxing can become our partners."

It was the first time that Yang Siwei and Tang Yan heard their boss say this, and they suddenly felt like they were in a different world.

Indeed, due to special reasons, there are few real businessmen among the bigwigs in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong.

Li Chen didn't explain further.

Whether it is Yang Shoucheng or Xiang Huaqi, to him, they are at most business partners.

He could change at any time, and he didn't want Yang Shoucheng to think that Yinghuang was his only choice.

What's more, in Yang Shoucheng's eyes, he is not the only partner.

After finishing the meal, Li Chen declined Yinghuang’s invitation to accompany him.

I was walking on the streets of Tsim Sha Tsui with Yang Siwei and Tang Yan.

Hong Kong Island is much better than the mainland in this respect. You don’t need to wear a mask when going out.

Don't think of yourself as a star, because stars are too common in Hong Kong Island.

On the other side, Yang Shoucheng learned that Li Chen and other two went out on the street alone.

After thinking for a while, he made a phone call.

Li Chen and the other two went to Lan Kwai Fong, a famous check-in spot in Hong Kong Island.

Tang Yan was a little excited. He and Yang Siwei had been here for a few days but had never been to Lan Kwai Fong.

I heard that Hong Kong celebrities are frequent visitors to Lan Kwai Fong. I wonder if I will meet one or two of them.

As they walked, Yang Siwei waved to a place not far away and said with a smile: "Boss, there are paparazzi following us."

"I've been recognized. I'm sorry to have caused trouble for you, boss."

Tang Yan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Wow, you are so arrogant, I was recognized!

Then you know that the other party did not recognize the boss.

Li Chen looked across the street and saw someone was taking pictures secretly.

But as long as he doesn't come up, Li Chen won't get angry.

After walking around for a while, Li Chen had no intention of going into the bar.

Just as they were about to go back to the hotel, Yang Siwei tugged at Li Chen's sleeve and whispered, "Boss, look ahead."

Li Chen turned his head and saw three young men wearing colorful shirts and with tattoos on their arms walking towards him.

Li Chen frowned slightly, and Yang Siwei and Tang Yan instinctively moved closer to Li Chen.

The three of them approached.

The short-haired man in the middle wearing a flowered shirt spoke in broken Mandarin.

"Are you Director Li Chen from the mainland?"

Li Chen didn't reply, but asked, "Who are you?"

"To life."

Before he could finish his words, someone nearby rushed up and started pushing and shoving the three of them.

Li Chen took a look and saw that they were the bodyguards that Yang Shoucheng had arranged in the hotel.

A group of people wearing the same color shirts wrestled with a few people wearing flowery shirts.

As they started to fight, they shouted, "How dare you disturb Mr. Yang's distinguished guest?"

Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said only one sentence: "Let's go"

Then he walked away with Yang Siwei and Tang Yan.

After getting in the car, Li Chen and Tang Yan sat in the back seat.

Tang Yan was still feeling scared. She had only seen Young and Dangerous on TV before, but today she experienced it firsthand.

Li Chen had a gloomy face and said nothing, although the man in the flowered shirt did not finish his words just now.

But he heard the word "towards" clearly: towards, towards life?
How many people are happy in Hong Kong Island?
I didn't expect Xiang Huaqi to play this trick. Li Chen didn't know what to say.

Yongsheng transformed itself into Zhongguoxing, and then went to great lengths to be listed on Hong Kong Island.

The meaning of submission is self-evident.

Li Chen still thought that Xiang Huaqiong was a wise man who knew how to judge the situation.

Today it seems that he was overthinking.

"Boss, tell me, what those three people just said just now is right?"

Yang Siwei turned around and saw his boss looking out the car window and ignoring him.

Then he shut up tactfully.

Coincidentally, Li Chen's phone rang.

Li Chen took a look and saw that it was Yang Shoucheng.

"Director Li, I'm sorry for scaring you."

"Mr. Yang, you are too polite. Thanks to Mr. Yang's people just now."

Yang Shoucheng hung up the phone with a smile on his face.

Xiang Huaqi's hands were stretched too far, and he was poaching people right in front of him.

If Mani hadn’t told him about Zhong Guoxing’s contact with Yang Siwei.

Maybe they will succeed.

Yang Shoucheng made another phone call and heard that his godson was in love.

Smiling wider.

If you kick me in the crotch, I will cut off your fire.

See who has the last laugh.

Yang Shoucheng also brought his godson and Rong Zuer to the welcoming banquet in the evening.

Both parties finalized the Ip Man matter.

As the producer, Li Chen, the selection of directors and casting are all handled by Rongchen Pictures.

Yang Shoucheng objected to the 20% share.

Li Chen did not give in.

Then, the two sides finalized the share of fatherly love.

This time Li Chen didn't insist too much.

Apart from the male lead who is preferred to be Leung Ka Fai, the eldest daughter is Tang Yan, and the other roles can be chosen by Ying Huang.

However, Li Chen still has to review it in the end, and Yinghuang accounts for 35% of the share.

Li Chen handed Yang Shoucheng a list of TV dramas he had prepared.

It contains classic dramas from ATV and TVB.

For example, Big Times, The Return of Condor Heroes 95, The Legend of the Condor Heroes 83

Although Yang Shoucheng didn't understand why Li Chen wanted to buy the exclusive online broadcasting rights for these dramas.

But he agreed without hesitation.

Piracy is rampant nowadays, what’s the point of buying these?

Li Chen and the other two were on their way back.

Tang Yan has witnessed the strong side of her boss.

Smiling, he said, "Boss, I finally understand why Siwei is your number one fan."

"The person sitting opposite is Mr. Yang from Yinghuang. Why does it feel like the boss is more like the host?"

Yang Siwei turned around and said with a smile: "Tangtang, I will answer this question for you on behalf of the boss."

"I must say you are naive."

"Even though Ying Huang is the leader in the Hong Kong industry, that is for the stars and artists in Hong Kong Island."

"Who's the boss?"

"Think about it carefully. Strength determines status."

Li Chen interrupted the two of them: "Stop talking nonsense, you stay in Hong Kong Island with Tangtang."

"Hong Kong people are very efficient. It may take less than a month to finish filming Father's Love Is Like a Mountain."

"Come back when the filming starts, and just leave a few assistants with Tangtang."

After meeting Yang Shoucheng just now, Li Chen always felt something was wrong.

Yes, when Yang Shoucheng mentioned the accident in Lan Kwai Fong today.

Li Chen felt that he didn't have much apology.

Thinking back to today, those guys in flowered shirts were interrupted after only saying the word "like".

Everything seemed too coincidental, and Li Chen became more and more suspicious.

Now thinking back, I didn't reject Xiang Huaqi's invitation.

There is absolutely no need for the other party to "invite people" in this way.
