Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 83 Unbelievable Wang Zhaojun

Li Chen hit the host on the stage in a joking tone.

The host also knows the principle of knowing when to quit.

A grand premiere came to an end with President Yang of China Film Group Corporation giving a concluding speech and looking into the future.

Sina followed the entire premiere.

The three major portals all published live reports of the premiere.

"The premiere of Shoplifters ended successfully, and the director deserves the Palme d'Or."

"With a box office of 4900 million US dollars, Shoplifters set a record for Chinese films going overseas and is the film with the highest investment and profit in the history of China Film Group."

"Director Zhang Yimou said that Li Chen's scriptwriting ability is beyond doubt and that the Thieves family is worthy of the name."

"Director Li generously gave red envelopes to the leading actors in the crew."

"8-year-old child star Guan Xiaotong speaks without restraint, and his father has changed to an Audi sedan."

"On June 18th, the Thief Family should not be missed."

Every time Rongchen Pictures makes the headlines.

Netizens are full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"An Audi costs at least twenty, right? My goodness, I'll have to work for three years without eating or drinking!"

“I have to do this for ten years”

"4900 million US dollars. Last year, the total domestic box office just exceeded 15 billion."

"Director Li's Shoplifters accounted for 30% of the film. It's so abnormal!"

"The one above, this is just the transaction price. If it's imported, there will be box office revenue share later. You're early!"

Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan were still thinking about Yang Mi on their way back.

Now this girl is determined to terminate the contract.

Judging from Li Chen’s ambiguous attitude today, it is very likely that the two sides have already reached an agreement.

Li Shaohong was extremely angry.

I used to have a good impression of Li Chen, but now it has all changed.

Yang Mi was chosen by Li Xiaowan, but Li Shaohong didn't think much of her.

Compared with other artists in the company, Yang Mi has no advantages.

In her opinion, it is precisely because she started out as a child star that she has had the chance to act in so many roles.

When acting, just don't think too much, the performance is programmed, happiness is hahahaha, and pain is wow wow wow.

So all the company's resources except Chen Kun and Zhou Xun.

Priority will definitely be given to veterans with professional training such as Zeng Li and Xu Jingyao.

Then it was the turn of newbies like Yang Mi.

In fact, as long as Yang Mi was not signed by several large companies, Li Shaohong would not bother to care about these things.

To be realistic, once the company and Yang Mi terminate the contract, I'm afraid there won't even be a ripple in the circle.

But now I just want news related to Rongchen Pictures.

Even the most inconspicuous newcomer will become the headline of media reports.

Isn't that the case with that girl named Tang Yan?

Li Shaohong held his forehead with a headache.

"Xiao Wan, Zhou Xun still hasn't agreed to renew the contract?"

Li Xiaowan nodded, also feeling upset, as all her troubles came at the same time.

Zhou Xun and Zhang Jingchu are fine, but Yang Mi was the one who signed her to the company herself.

Also jumped out at this time to disgust the two "sisters"

How unworthy of man!

"Forget it, no need to wait any longer, we unilaterally announce the termination of the contract."

“Try to keep things cool.”

"She's just a new person. It's not worth it for us to worry about her."

"As for what Li Chen does, we can't interfere."

"If Rongchen Pictures really signs her, I'd like to ask Lao Tian how to teach students."

After the premiere, as soon as Li Chen and Yang Siwei got into the car, Wanda’s Mr. Bao called them.

The Bao family was really shocked by the transaction price of the thief family.

Who wouldn’t be impressed by such profitability?

Li Chen is a great director who can both carry the box office and win awards.

Moreover, he is the CEO of a powerful large company.

This is exactly the person Wanda hopes to have long-term cooperation with.

Ever since Wanda’s boss went against all odds and entered the film and television industry.

We never planned to focus only on the cinema chain at the downstream end of the industry chain.

All-round development is their ultimate goal.

The Bao family didn't say much on the phone.

All I have to say is that Shoplifters is very exciting, and Wanda will definitely not be stingy when it comes to scheduling screenings.

How could Li Chen not hear the other party's goodwill, and the two parties agreed to keep in touch frequently.

Before hanging up the phone, Bao Jiajia said one more sentence.

"Director Li's ability is obvious to all, and he certainly has no shortage of funds."

"Let me add one more thing. If Director Li has another project, Wanda can buy a share at a premium."

"As long as Director Li opens his mouth, Wanda will never bargain!"

Even Li Chen sighed that Wanda was worthy of being called Big Boss Wang’s.

This is much more inhumane than when Yinghuang spent 1000 million to introduce Shi Tou.

"I've taken note of what Mr. Bao said. We will cooperate if there's a chance."

"Please don't think I'm asking for too much when the time comes, Mr. Bao."

"Haha, no problem." Bao Jiazhong laughed.

After hanging up the phone, the Bao family was in a happy mood.

As long as you make a good start, there is no need to worry about not bearing fruit.

Li Chen had just hung up the phone when Ren Zhonglun from Shanghai Film Studio called again.

Ren Zhonglun went straight to the point.

"Director Li, next time you have a project, you can consider Shanghai Film Group. China Film Group is not the only one in China."

“Although Shanghai Film Group does not have the import rights, its overseas strength is not necessarily inferior to that of China Film Group.”

Li Chen had a headache just now at the premiere.

Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun had some conflicts.

Ren Zhonglun wanted to talk to Li Chen several times, but Han Sanping always stood by him.

This made Li Chen feel uncomfortable being caught between the two of them.

"Mr. Ren, Shanghai Film Group's strength is unquestionable. I know that."

Li Chen didn't say much, because the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.

Ren Zhonglun is still very capable.

Although they are more cautious, they both have their own advantages compared to Han Sanping.

Last year, Ren Zhonglun proposed the idea of ​​establishing an industrial chain and putting stable profit projects at the highest point, which was very forward-looking.

This is all thanks to the market research he has done since taking over Shanghai Film.

Especially the Hollywood field trip.

Li Chen sometimes worried about Han Sanping.

This year, he has his own movie, Shoplifters, to help him.

China Film's profits are really not as good as Shanghai Film's.

By 08, the profit of Shanghai Film Group was times that of China Film Group. But this year's "Shoplifters" has dampened the enthusiasm of Shanghai Film Group.

No wonder Ren Zhonglun was so angry!

After hanging up the phone, Ren Zhonglun sat in the car and muttered to himself.

"This Han Sanping is so lucky! He has found a treasure again!"

If he wants to make a film, he lacks big directors like Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang under his command.

Li Chen finally showed up, but Han Sanping got the upper hand by being close to the water!
Seeing that his boss's phone calls had finally stopped, Yang Siwei sighed silently, "Being a man is not easy either!"

Li Chen was like seeing a ghost: "Siwei, you finally look like a woman."

Three days later, Shoplifters was released in theaters nationwide.

Yang Mi also regained her freedom as she wished.

After leaving Rong Xinda, Yang Mi felt a lot lighter.

Although the termination fee was not small, she felt that she would definitely be able to earn back hundreds or even thousands of dollars in termination fees in the future.

The prerequisite is to join Rongchen Pictures first.

Arriving at Jinxiu Mingzuan, Yang Mi secretly encouraged herself.

"Will the senior say that she is not qualified to negotiate a contract now?"

Yang Mi also thought for a long time before she figured out the meaning of the senior's words "she is not qualified".

So I became more determined to terminate the contract with Rong Xinda.

When she saw Yang Siwei, Yang Mi took the initiative to say hello.

"Director Yang, I'm Yang Mi, and I've always been following your blog."

Yang Siwei smiled and said, "There are so many people paying attention to me that I really didn't notice you."

"Let's go, the boss is here."

The two got on the elevator.

Yang Siwei smiled and said, "I feel like you've become prettier again. I didn't notice it the last time I visited you on the set of The Condor Heroes."

"What a great figure! Wow, the legs are so white, thin and straight."

Yang Siwei looked Yang Mi up and down, his tone like a gangster.

“I never dare to wear a skirt”

Yang Mi held Yang Siwei's arm affectionately and said with a smile: "Your skin is also very white, not worse than mine."

"Just call me Siwei. It's not like we've only known each other for a short time." Yang Siwei said with a smile.

"Well, Siwei, senior, you won't refuse to sign me later, right?" Yang Mi said pitifully and nervously.

"I don't know. The boss acts in a very imaginative way."

"It is only now that I have acquired a little bit of the boss's demeanor, haha."

Yang Siwei didn't treat Yang Mi as an outsider at all.

Because there is a high probability that this could be the second artist under his management.

But no matter how you look at it, apart from having a better figure, she has no advantages over Tang Yan and Fan Qiaoqiao.

When the boss talked to her just now, she understood the whole story.

I also have a clearer understanding of Yang Mi's ambition and courage.

To her, it was nothing.

People always strive for higher positions, and there are not many people who can see things so clearly at such a young age.

Yang Mi is one, and Fan Qiaoqiao is another.

Entered the boss's office.

Yang Mi took the initiative to say hello.

Li Chen glanced at Yang Mi.

At this time, Yang Mi's fashion sense was at the same level as Miss Liu's.

Thinking about Tang Yan, her style back then was hard to describe.

Brown high-waisted canvas shoes paired with sky blue denim shorts and a white tight vest.

Her good figure is clearly visible.

Fortunately, the company's installation team is professional.

"Please sit down. You're welcome." Li Chen said.

The assistant came in, brought the coffee and left.

"Thank you, senior."

"You just said on the phone that you have terminated the contract with Rong Xingda and all the formalities have been completed?"

"It's over, Senior. I promise there won't be any problems."

Yang Siwei said with a smile: "Mi Mi, do you know that Rong Xingda's CEO Li has already hinted to the boss?"

"I don't want the boss to sign you."

"Ah?" Yang Mi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar when she heard Yang Siwei say that.

She is really in danger of death now.

If it weren't for Rongchen Pictures, even the gods wouldn't be able to save her.

"Senior?" Yang Mi looked so pitiful that even Yang Siwei felt pity for her.

Li Chen said: "I really can't sign you today."

Yang Mi was stunned, but Yang Siwei, as a bystander, saw things more clearly.

He shook Yang Mi and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Just listen to what the boss has to say."

Yang Mi came back to her senses: "Senior, please continue."

Li Chen nodded and chuckled, "Now is indeed not the best time."

"If I sign a contract with you, it will be bad for both you and me."

"As the saying goes, don't hit someone in the face. You just terminated your contract with Rongxingda, so I signed a contract with you."

"Isn't that telling others clearly that I don't take Rong Xingda seriously?"

Yang Mi understood and smiled excitedly, "I understand, Senior."

"It doesn't matter. It's okay to wait for a year or two."

"I'm glad you understand. Although you can't sign the contract now, it doesn't prevent the company from finding resources for you."

Li Chen said again.

"Senior, are you saying that we are building a plank road in the open while secretly attacking Chencang?" Yang Mi said with great surprise.

Yang Siwei also laughed: "Mi Mi, this idiom is well used."

Li Chen also laughed.

"It's not that exaggerated."

"Prepare a resume for yourself and give it to Yang Siwei, focusing on your experience as the actor who played Emperor Minghuang of Tang."

Yang Mi was shocked and said in disbelief: "Senior, you, you want to help me win Wang Zhaojun?"

"Why, you don't dare to think about it or you don't dare to act it out?" Li Chen said with a smile.

"No, no, no, senior, I just, just find it a little hard to believe." Yang Mi hurriedly shook her head to deny it.

Yang Siwei was also a little bit unconvinced and gave a reminder.

"Boss, I heard that Shuang Bing and Gao Yuanyuan are both competing for the role of Wang Zhaojun."

"And it seems very likely that it is Fan Qiaoqiao."

Li Chen didn't answer, and continued: "Just do as I say."

"You are lucky enough to be selected, so don't mention the company, understand?"

Yang Mi understood: "I understand, senior, after we finish filming Wang Zhaojun, the company will sign me."

"Then it will be easier for the seniors to do it."

I have to say that Yang Mi's reaction was quite quick.

I immediately understood the reason behind this.
