Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 9 Topic Female Supporting Role
Li Chen called Teacher Li back.

Teacher Li was obviously in a good mood.

He also joked that if Li Chen could really achieve his box office ambitions in front of the media, it would be a shame for his senior brothers and classmates.

Li Chen smiled and replied that a red envelope was a must.

There are hundreds of messages piled up in the Q group.

There were dozens of text messages, most of which were from unfamiliar numbers. They sent text messages when they couldn't get through.

I was not asking him whether the following movie needed investment, I just wanted to get to know him.

He politely declined.

There was another message Liu Yifei sent last night: The movie was very fun, my mother and I went to see it.

This, this isn't even Director Li's turn?
However, Li Chen still replied: Thank you, and I wish you a smooth filming of "May Love".

He couldn't bring himself to say the word "big sale" anyway.

After all, this film didn't make any waves at all.

Li Chen looked at the comments online again.

Most of the comments from netizens are good.

As for the comments of those film critics.

Li Chen automatically ignored them all.

These people can find fault with even the smallest details, otherwise their "professional level" cannot be demonstrated.

However, what some netizens focused on is interesting.

"Isn't there anyone like me who can't forget the long-legged ticket seller after watching it?"

"Thank you for speaking my mind, upstairs. Oh, by the way, that mistress is not bad either."

"After all, he is a top student in the directing department, and his aesthetic taste is good."

"That's right, damn, the ugliest ones are actually the two leading actors!"

There is no shortage of netizens who have the eye for discovering beauty.

Today is Saturday and there are more and more comments online.

Especially those interesting netizens, who indirectly stimulated a large number of LSPs to go to the cinema.

Yesterday, the box office of Charlie's Angels 2 dropped from million the day before to .

It was cut more than half in half by Lost on Journey.

Today, the output is not as high as in later generations, so there are choices.

Before the release of Eighteenth Century's Green Tea by Zhao Yanzi, it was either Charlie's Angels or Lost on Journey.

Although today’s ticket prices and the number of cinemas cannot be compared with those in later generations.

But the winner is choosing one of the two.

Messages kept ringing in the Q group.

Tang Yan, Yao Di and Tang Yifei all received calls from the agency, which simply wanted to sign them.

Some people also asked for his opinion.

Li Chen thought about it before starting to type.

"My opinion is that we are all still young, so we should wait and see, and not rush into making a decision."

"Shop around, maybe there's something better waiting for you out there."

"Tang Yan mentioned Tangren. This company is very good at promoting new talents, but its resources are mainly concentrated in the field of TV dramas. It is almost blank in the field of movies."

"As for Huayi, they are big names in the industry and have abundant resources. But more people means less meat, so it's hard for newcomers to stand out!"

"Director Li is a great success if he doesn't make any noise!"

"Go away. I haven't asked you who you were in a group with yesterday."

Luo Jin dived again.

The phone rang, it was Tang Yan.

Li Chen pressed the speakerphone button and typed on the keyboard while answering the call.

"The box office is good, I'll treat everyone to a meal tomorrow, and everyone will get a red envelope, and those who don't come will get nothing!"

All those who were lurking in the group have come out.

"Anyone who doesn't come is a fool."

Tang Yan said softly, "Director Li, I still feel it's a little unreal. I just played a ticket seller, but why do I feel like an ugly duckling turns into a swan?"

"Haha, you're still an ugly duckling? You're the Shulei beauty pageant champion."

"That's not the way to make fun of yourself. Do you remember what I said to Yao Di on the set that day?"

"Remember, being able to make the audience remember you through one shot is an essential skill for a good actor."

"With your qualifications and innate advantages in appearance, it's only a matter of time before you become famous."

"But this also shows from the side that the big screen is the fastest way to increase popularity."

"Director Li is right. I know what to do now. I won't bother you anymore." "By the way, who were you in the same group with yesterday?"

There was silence for a while: "Luo Jin."

Good boy, Lao Luo really took action.

There is news about Li Chen on several major portals.

"The new director won his first battle, and his lofty words may not be a dream."

"Li Chen's directorial debut, Lost on Journey, grossed 346 million on its first day."

"Lost on Journey, the first day was a great success in both word-of-mouth and box office."

On August 496, the box office hit a new high of million.

August 522, million

Green Tea was released on August 18th, but it had little impact on Lost on Journey.

Green Tea grossed 60 on its first day, while Lost on Journey grossed 378 million.

Li Chen's phone was almost blown up by calls. People he knew and didn't know, as well as the media, all came to him.

Lost on Journey grossed 2817 million in its first week.

Sina Entertainment Headlines
The first week box office of Lost on Journey, a work by new director Li Chen, is released.

Director Li Chen’s bold words have been fulfilled.

QQ is beeping again. It’s Liu Yifei.

"Next Monday is my birthday. I've called Xiao Zhu and the others. Can you come too?"

Why does the subtext of this dialogue seem to be: If you don't come, you're dead.

I heard that this girl practiced martial arts.

After much thought, Li Chen decided to decline.

Firstly, they are not that familiar with each other yet, and secondly, this girl’s mother is very protective.

At most, I am just emerging as a talent now, and I don’t take others seriously at all.

Although Li Chen has made a good start.

But the foundation is still shallow.

At least one needs two or three high-grossing works and one or two awards to secure his position as a great director.

Li Chen tapped on the keyboard: "Thank you for your invitation. But Shitou will start the computer soon, so I can't get away. Sorry."

After waiting for a long time, the other side replied: “Okay, I wish you a smooth shoot.”

"Thank you."

Liu Yifei felt a little disappointed, but Liu Xiaoli beside her smiled slightly, which was exactly what she wanted.

Although people are not going, gifts still need to be prepared.

Li Chen called Zhu Yawen.

"Director Li, is this my big screen debut?"

"What are you daydreaming about? It won't happen that fast! But I will remember this."

"Haha, thank you in advance. Tell me what you want from me."

"Well, something happened."

In the second week of Lost on Journey’s release, the box office started to decline.

But the box office is still nearly two million every day.

Director Han called him directly and wanted to hold a celebration banquet for him.

He also declined, saying that they would do it together with the next one.

One advantage of living in school is that there won’t be any messy people to disturb you.

The movie Lost on Journey made Li Chen a celebrity at the Beijing Film Academy and he was the most popular person at the time.

But the more this happened, the more low-key Li Chen became.

August 25th is Liu Yifei’s birthday.

Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin both went.

Arrived at Liu Yifei’s villa.

"Xiao Zhu, are you here?"

"Hello Auntie."

"Come in quickly, Xixi, Xiao Zhu and the others are here."

"You call me Xiao Zhu, and I call them." Luo Jin muttered quietly.

Liu Yifei has long black hair, a black long-sleeved V-neck tights on the upper body, and a pair of distressed casual jeans on the lower body.

The whole person looks refreshed and sparkling.
