Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 91 Venice triumphantly sings (seeking a ticket)
When Yang Siwei came back, he was still full of excitement.

For no other reason, she was simply frightened by the film producers' enthusiasm for the price they offered for Painted Skin.

Forget about bargaining, she totally lost her level.

Throughout the whole process, it was the deputy of Mr. Han, the chairman of China Film Group, who was dealing with the film producers.

Until the way back.

Han Sanping's deputy then explained the ins and outs of this to Yang Siwei.

Yang Siwei came to report to the boss, and heard Yang Siwei say that there were nearly fifty film producers who had made quotations.

The total amount is nearly 70 million US dollars.

Li Chen nodded secretly, the price was about the same as he had estimated in his mind.

"Boss, aren't you excited at all? That's 70 million US dollars!" Yang Siwei looked like he had never seen money before.

Li Chen smiled and said, "It seems that it was right to ask you to follow the people from China Film today."

"Otherwise, with your inexperienced look, you'll be in big trouble the next time you negotiate with the film company!"

"The people from China Film Group are definitely not in a hurry to make a deal, right?"

Yang Siwei nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

The man just now explained to her the ins and outs of the matter.

The more people make offers, the less anxious you should be to make the deal. Good things are worth waiting for.

Wait, maybe it will be higher.

As they were talking, the doorbell rang.

Yang Siwei went to open the door and saw Han Sanping with a rosy face.

"Mr. Han." Yang Siwei greeted with a smile.

Han Sanping nodded and strode into the room.

"Li Chen, you are right! You are really a lucky guy!" Han Sanping laughed as soon as he came in.

The more I look at Li Chen, the more I like him.

Li Chen's ability to make money is really amazing.

That Zhang Weiping monopolized Zhang Yimou, which disgusted him for several years and also made him jealous for several years.

But now that I have Li Chen, I don’t care anymore!

Judging from the current situation, even if China Film only accounts for 30% of the market share.

The profits of Painted Skin may not be lower than those of the Thief Family in the end.

He was almost certain that the two political achievements, Thieves Family and Painted Skin, would definitely help him get on the throne firmly.

"Boss Han, you are at least a top boss in the industry."

"Why do you show your emotions on your face just like Siwei?" Li Chen couldn't help but teasing Lao Han.

Han Sanping was in a good mood and didn't bother with the boy.

Yang Siwei silently closed the door for the two of them and walked out.

When I returned to my room, I found Tang Yan, Zhou Xun, and Li Qiaoqiao were all there.

"Why are you here?"

Tang Yan smiled and said: "Siwei, Sister Xun and Sister Qiaoqiao are waiting for your victory report."

"Tell me what's going on." Zhou Xun couldn't help but stepped forward and said.

Li Qiaoqiao also stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yes, Siwei, talk to me."

Yang Siwei was speechless. He strode to the sofa and sat down heavily with his empty body.

"Don't ask me. I haven't recovered yet. It's too exciting."

After Yang Siwei said this, everyone became more interested!

Being forced into a corner, Yang Siwei begged for mercy: "Two sisters, I'm scared of you."

"No deal tonight, but it doesn't hurt to tell you."

"The price has skyrocketed." Yang Siwei said with a smile, pointing his finger upwards.

"How high the sky is, you can decide for yourself."

"Sisters, I'm going to take a shower."

Yang Siwei stood up, ignoring the expressions of the three people.

The next day, local and domestic media praised Painted Skin.

"Three years ago, the hero of Yimou showed me the passion of fire."

"Three years later, Li Chen's Painted Skin made me feel as cold as ice again."

The president of the Venice Film Festival responded to a reporter from Sina Entertainment.

The guests who watched the movie that night were even more amazed when they were interviewed by the media.

“It’s so shocking. Chinese people are really amazing.”

“A fusion of color aesthetics and martial arts action.”

"I fell asleep while watching Seven Swords, and I didn't want to blink the entire time of Painted Skin. The scene was like a Chinese ink painting."

“She looked so beautiful, Xiao Wei”

Domestic portals and the China Daily also lavished praise on the title.

"The Chinese-language fantasy epic Painted Skin, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival on September 9, received rave reviews from local media and audiences."

"Painted Skin has been unanimously sought after by film producers around the world, and may once again surpass Director Li's Shoplifters and set a new record for Chinese-language films going overseas."

"Zhou Xun's acting skills have been unanimously recognized by local film critics and she is expected to win the title at Venice Film Festival."

"Venice is abuzz with women's loyalty. The president of the Venice Film Festival praised the beauty of Painted Skin."

"Sister Xun, this mainstream website in Venice says that you are the most smart and beautiful oriental woman." Yang Siwei joked with Zhou Xun.

“Come on, but to be honest, I was also amazed by how beautiful I was when I was watching the movie yesterday.” Zhou Xun was in a good mood.

"This is the first time I've seen the finished film. Now I feel that it was worth it for your boss to torture me to death while shooting that water scene," Zhou Xun exclaimed.

"Sister Xun, if it's true as the media said, and you're crowned queen in Venice, how are you going to thank our boss?" Tang Yan asked with a curious smile.

"How can I thank you? I'm afraid I'll be willing to marry you, but your boss may not." Zhou Xun teased without any scruples.

"Sister Xun, not necessarily. You think my boss is Wang Sheng and you are Xiao Wei. I don't think we have no chance!" Yang Siwei added.

"Get out!" Zhou Xun cursed with a smile.

"You two are Director Li's lackeys. No matter how you look at it, it looks like you are pimping for Director Li!"

"No way, I'm guarding the goal for Yifei!"

There were still many film producers who came to the premiere of "A Love So Beautiful".

After all, the gimmick of this film is that the script was written by Li Chen, the Palme d'Or director.

Li Chen greeted all the leading actors in "Father's Love is Like a Mountain" one by one.

Zha Zha Hui is almost becoming Li Chen's exclusive actor.

"Director Li, Painted Skin is great. My wife and I like it very much." Zha Zha Hui shook hands with Li Chen.

Guan Yonghe smiled and nodded.

"Thank you. I also admire your performances in the two dramas New World and Fatherly Love," Li Chen said politely.

“Perhaps, we will cooperate again in the future.”

"Haha, that's exactly what I want. I'll be waiting for Director Li's call at any time," said Nick Cheung with a smile.

Wait until Li Chen and Huo Wenxi leave.

Guan Yonghe nudged her husband and said happily, "Honey, what Director Li said just now means that he has another acting job?"

Zhang Jiahui was also happy in his heart, but he wanted to pretend in front of his wife: "That should be the case. After all, your husband is also a future movie star."

"Yes, yes, the future movie emperor, and also the next life is my future." Guan Yonghe attacked her husband mercilessly.

Nick Cheung himself laughed, but in his heart he was thinking that he would definitely have a place in next year's Hong Kong Film Awards or this year's Golden Horse Awards.

Both New World and Father's Love is Like a Mountain are fully capable of bringing back a trophy.

After watching the movie, Li Chen still had to socialize as usual.

The film producers also showed great interest in "A Love Like a Mountain", a commercial crime film under the guise of fatherly love.

Some film producers are even more fanciful and want to negotiate the copyrights of "A Love So Beautiful" and "Painted Skin" together.

Li Chen is not stupid, it is easier to lower the price by putting the two films together!

How could he agree?

Father's love is as strong as a mountain. There is no need to delay it. It's not for the sake of winning awards.

If the price is right, we can make the deal tonight or tomorrow.

Huo Wenxi was surrounded by film producers.

Li Chen is also very lucky in love.

Now everyone knows that this Chinese Palme d'Or director has set foot in Hollywood.

There’s no guarantee that you’ll make a big splash someday, so now is the right time to keep in touch.

I have to say that foreign girls are really broad-minded.

Maria's eye-catching breasts were almost popping out of her blue dress.

The pungent smell of perfume made Li Chen feel like practicing the tortoise breathing technique.

After answering her a few words, Li Chen quickly walked away.

Not long after he walked away, Monica Bellucci, wearing a black halter dress, came up and stopped him again.

The two met at the premiere of Painted Skin, and this time the girl gave him a direct kiss on the cheek.

"Li, I've watched both Painted Skin and My Father's Love. It's hard to imagine that these two styles of movies can be made by the same person."

"Thanks."

"The Chinese director is very talented. I've seen Zhang's movies. You look a lot like him."

“It’s the hairstyle that’s similar, right?” Li Chen said with a smile.

In the eyes of foreigners, he and Zhang Yimou's short hair makes it easy to mistake them for the same person.

After all, they look at Chinese people the same way, just like we look at foreigners.

Monica, the sexy Italian actress, has completely lost the charm of her youth.

All he has is a bloated figure and wrinkles that cannot be concealed.

Li Chen was somewhat bored.

Miss Liu is now their age.

At least you won’t age as fast as foreigners.

Li Chen said hello to Huo Wenxi and did not get involved in the rest of the matters.

Just wait for the results.

Back to the hotel.

The next morning, after Li Chen finished his breakfast, Huo Wenxi came in radiantly.

"Director Li, the film producers know that it is your script, and after watching Father's Love, they are very eager to buy it."

"Currently, 33 companies have expressed interest in purchasing the copyright of Father's Love is Like a Mountain."

"Here is the list and the price. Please take a look. If you have no objection, I will make a deal with them today." Huo Wenxi said with a smile.

Li Chen took it and took a look. The total amount was nearly 4000 million US dollars.

"I have no objection, we can trade."

"Okay, then I'll do it now."

Li Chen nodded and said nothing more.

Huo Wenxi took two steps and turned back, smoothing her hair elegantly and said with a smile: "Director Li, I forgot to tell you."

"Director Yang asked me to bring you a box of red wine. I hope our cooperation will last a long time. I have handed it over to Siwei."

Li Chen felt amused. Using alcohol to apologize?

"I understand. I'll go back and tell Director Yang."

"I don't like my partners to play tricks, and I don't like being treated as a fool."

Huo Wenxi was shocked, but she kept smiling as she said, "I'll pass on Director Li's words."

"President Yang has always said that Director Li is Yinghuang's most important partner."

"If there is any misunderstanding, it is because Director Li has such a heavy weight."

"Haha, Miss Huo is worthy of being Mr. Yang's right-hand man. She really knows how to talk." Li Chen laughed loudly.

"Director Li, you're too kind." Huo Wenxi said with a smile.

"If Miss Huo is unhappy at Yinghuang one day, the door of my company is always open to you."

Li Chen looked at Huo Wenxi with bright eyes and said with certainty.

Huo Wenxi was shocked and said unnaturally, "Thank you Director Li for your appreciation. I'll leave first if there's nothing else."

After leaving Li Chen's room, Huo Wenxi let out a long sigh.

He immediately called his boss again.

"Boss, he accepted the wine and asked me to bring a message to you."

"I see."

Li Chen hasn't calmed down for a while.

Yang Siwei, Zhou Xun and Tang Yan came together, and all three of them had strange expressions on their faces.

As soon as Yang Siwei came in, he said, "Boss, Sister Mani just sent you a box of wine."

Li Chen nodded and said, "I know. She just told me that the wine shouldn't be cheap, right?"

Tang Yan gave a thumbs up: "Boss, you are really foresighted. I just checked it out."

"A box of twelve bottles would probably cost no less than 150 million."

Zhou Xun sat next to Li Chen affectionately and said with a smile: "Director Li, how about leaving a bottle for me? You can also buy it."

"That's Romanee-Conti 74. The three of us looked it up, but it's not easy to buy a bottle."

"This box should have been bought by Mr. Yang from the auction house."

Li Chen was not surprised. When it came to enjoying life, the wealthy people in Hong Kong were all experts.

"Siwei, give each of the main actors in the crew a bottle, and keep one bottle for you and Mimi."

"Also, send a bottle to old man Macor." Li Chen said generously.

By this calculation, including the five leading actors, Yang Siwei, Yang Mi and Lao Ma, eight bottles are gone.

"Oh, boss, you are so so so handsome!" Yang Siwei said infatuatedly.

Zhou Xun also sighed: "Director Li, with your temperament, you really want to pick up female stars."

"I guarantee that nine out of ten will have to lie down!"

"Hahaha"

Yang Siwei and Tang Yan were both amused by Zhou Xun's explicit remarks.

But when I think about it, I feel there is nothing wrong with it.

"Think about your boss, even though he's not that handsome."

"But the temperament is so well controlled."

"Especially after winning the Palme d'Or, I felt like I was reborn."

"Now, every time he raises his hands and steps, he exudes a boss-like aura, which instantly kills the first-tier male stars like Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan."

"Perhaps this is the blessing brought by wealth and honor."

Yang Siwei muttered to himself. Li Chen didn't bother to talk to them, and privately told Yang Siwei to send a bottle to Han Sanping as well, and to tear off the packaging.

The Venice Film Festival was still going on, and Li Chen didn't have any thoughts, so he didn't go to watch any movies.

The president of the Berlin Film Festival called him and joked that he had been to both Cannes and Venice.

You can't miss coming to Berlin.
This really stumped Li Chen, as he had a lot of plans for the rest of his life.

There is simply no time to make another award-winning film.

Li Chen patted his forehead.

"Mr. Dieter, you really gave me a difficult problem."

"Thank you for your invitation, but I will be very busy and have no time to spare."

"Li, only capable and talented people are busy."

"Your talent has been proven in Cannes, and I believe in you."

"As for time, don't you Chinese always say that if you squeeze in, you can have it?"

Li Chen was stunned. Is this what you mean? Why do I remember saying "ditch"?

Hung up the phone with Dieter.

Li Chen fell into deep thought and returned to Hollywood in two days.

I'm afraid I'll have to stay in Hollywood for more than half a month.

One is the lurking matter, one is the real estate purchase matter, and the other is the matter of his next movie.

You don't have to do all these things yourself.

Do you want to use this half month to shoot a movie?
Buried Alive is quite suitable. If I go to Berlin, it will probably not be a problem to be shortlisted.

It is a bit difficult to win an award, but it also depends on the actor.

When Andy Lau broke up with him in Hong Kong Island last time, she was thinking about finding him when she had a suitable script.

This alive burial is quite appropriate.

Just change the protagonist to a Chinese American.

I just don’t know if Liu Dehua dares to give it a try.

After all, filming Buried Alive is not difficult, but acting is difficult!

It depends on whether Liu Dehua dares to be a little harder on himself.

I should give him a call and ask first, Li Chen thought.

"Director Li, why did you think of calling me? You should be in Venice now? Haha," Liu Dehua said with a hearty laugh.

Li Chen also smiled and said, "It's in Venice, Brother Hua."

"Didn't you tell me to come to you when I have a script? Now there is a script, it depends on whether you dare to act and whether you can act well."

Liu Dehua was delighted when he heard this: "What an interesting script! If Director Li gives me a chance, I will definitely act in it..."

Li Chen didn't waste any words: "Okay, in that case, I'll send you the book later, take a look at it before making a decision."

"This play is not easy to act in, and it is even harder to act well."

“But I’ll give you a tip, this play is headed to Berlin next year.”

"The president of the Berlin Film Festival just invited me to attend the Berlin Film Festival in February next year."

"I don't want to go empty-handed either."

"Okay, Director Li, I appreciate your kindness. I'll get back to you as soon as I read the script."

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen opened his notebook and sent the book he had written earlier to Liu Dehua.

Within three hours, Liu Dehua called back.

"Director Li, I've read the script. You're sending me a coffin and are going to bury me alive." Liu Dehua said with a smile.

Li Chen also laughed and said, "We Chinese have a saying, coffin, coffin, promotion and wealth, this is a good meaning, what do you think, Brother Hua?"

"Thank you Director Li, I'll take this role."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Dehua said to himself: "Director Li is really particular."

Since he had promised last time that he would not receive any pay, he naturally would not ask for a penny.

Unexpectedly, Director Li refused to agree.

In the end, he took a compromise and let his Yingyi Entertainment take a 20% share and produce it together with Chiyou Pictures.

Liu Dehua couldn't persuade the other party and felt that he owed him a big favor.

Because this movie will be shortlisted for Berlin.

You will definitely not lose money by selling copyrights. If you calculate it this way, you will get more than if you just received film pay.

"What are you daydreaming about?" The woman's gentle voice interrupted Liu Dehua's thoughts.

"It's okay, I'm going to Hollywood for a while, take care of yourself"

The woman was surprised and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to the mainland?"

"Director Li is right. It may not be approved in the mainland. The procedures are complicated. Let me go directly to Hollywood."

"Then take care of yourself and bring more clothes." Although the woman was reluctant, she also knew what Liu Dehua was thinking.

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

On that day, the copyright transaction of "Father's Love is Like a Mountain" was completed, and Huo Wenxi and the crew returned to Hong Kong first.

Li Chen did not let her announce the transaction price, and he had no control over how the media speculated.

However, some people have revealed that the copyright price of "A Father's Love Is Like a Mountain" has set a record for the highest price in Hong Kong films.

Two days later, Painted Skin also completed the copyright transaction.

These two films are exactly the opposite of "The Lurking". Li Chen directly sold the copyright and did not take any share of the box office revenue.

Because some countries and regions are more troublesome, and the box office cannot be guaranteed.

It's sold out all at once, so even if the film can't be released in some regions, it has nothing to do with him.

If the transaction price of Painted Skin made Han Sanping blush.

He was even more delighted when he received the news that the organizing committee allowed the Painted Skin crew to return to Venice.

This means that there are prizes for painting skin.
Li Chen didn't dare to think about winning the Golden Lion or the Jury Grand Prix, the possibility was almost zero.

Venice Film Festival's most anticipated closing red carpet and awards ceremony is coming soon
On the 10th, I heard that Li An also returned to Venice.

Li An has the greatest support because the subject matter is so advantageous.

But judging from the information published in the film festival publication.

Li An's Brokeback Mountain is not as good as George Clooney's Good Night and Good Luck.

The closing ceremony will be held at 7pm.

Outside the red carpet, there were crowds of screaming fans.

"Xiao Wei."

Walking on the red carpet, the crew of Painted Skin could be heard shouting the name of Zhou Xun's character in Painted Skin.

There were also Chinese fans shouting the names of Zhou Xun and Louis Koo.

There were also reporters who greeted Li Chen, Li Qiaoqiao and others and asked them to look at the camera.

"Director Li, I wish you a triumphant return," said a Sina reporter.
"Thanks."

After dealing with the reporters, everyone continued walking on the red carpet.

Suddenly, there was an ear-piercing scream from behind.

Li Chen and his companions looked back.

It turned out to be George Clooney walking on the red carpet.

The female fans went crazy, cheering loudly on both sides of the red carpet.

"Let's go, don't disturb these crazy girls." Li Chen said with a smile.

After entering the venue, Zhou Xun couldn't help but ask as soon as he sat down: "Director Li, why didn't you come to support the If Love was held yesterday?"

Li Chen smiled and said, "Didn't Yang Siwei go there? What's the difference between him and me going there?"

Zhou Xun was unwilling: "How can it be the same?"

Li Chen said with a smile: "Brother Xun, can you wake up?"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Xun frowned.

"Did Chen Kexin come to the premiere of Painted Skin and Love Is Like a Father?"

"If you are in love, has Director Han gone?"

"I can go and support you, but there's no need to give face to Chen Kexin."

Zhou Xun was stunned for a moment, then gradually came to his senses.

Yang Siwei's coming was like Director Li showing support for himself.

But there is really no need to give face to Chen Kexin.

No wonder only Guan Jinpeng came last night.

None of the other big directors were there.

The award ceremony began soon.

Li Chen can keep his mind calm.

But Zhou Xun and Li Qiaoqiao can't do it, including the male lead Louis Koo.

Objectively speaking, Louis Koo loses to the original lead actor Chen Kun in terms of eyesight.

There is no drama in the eyes.

But Li Chen's play was not intended to win awards, as long as it had box office success.

The Best Screenplay Award was given to Good Night and Good Luck, so Li Chen knew that the Golden Lion would go to Li An.

The Best Director Award went to Uniform Lovers.

Li Chen felt a tiny bit of loss in his heart.

But when I turned around, whether it was Macol who was presenting the award or the people around him.

The look in his eyes and expression on his face was full of envy and joy.

What's going on? Did I hear it wrong?
That’s right, Philip, the director of Uniform Lovers, has come on stage.

"Director Li, why are you in a daze? Come on stage and receive your award." Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"Receive the award? Didn't Philip go on stage?"

Li Chen was confused and spoke without thinking.

He had nothing to do with Philip's coming to power.

If Zhou Xun said this under normal circumstances, Li Chen would understand what he meant.

But now his brain is really a little off.

Until Zhou Xun grinned and said, "Double yolk egg! Double yolk egg! Director Li!"

Li Chen finally reacted and turned to see Makol who was presenting the award. He was still looking at him with a smile on his face.

Philip also seemed to be waiting for him.

Li Chen finally came back to his senses, oh my god!
The golden lion also laid a double-yolked egg, and it hit itself.

Li Chen calmed down his momentary heavenly mood and slowly walked up to the podium.

It’s not that I haven’t seen double-yolked eggs from Golden Lion before, but it seems to be ten years later.

However, this year marks the 100th anniversary of Chinese cinema, perhaps.
"Li Chen, congratulations."

"Thanks."

Li Chen didn't even prepare a speech to accept the award. Was he going to thank CCTV?
"Li Chen, tell me how you feel now."

Li Chen held the trophy and felt a little overwhelmed for the first time.

Zhou Xun sat below and winked at her.

Li Chen suddenly got inspiration.

"I'm very happy because this was totally unexpected. I didn't expect to win the award, so I didn't prepare a speech."

This was Li Chen's true feelings. Although he knew there would be a prize, he estimated that it would most likely go to Zhou Xun.

“I want to thank two people.”

"The first one is the lead actor of Painted Skin, Zhou Xun."

"Because she is the only actor in the drama Painted Skin who rejected my invitation"

“But she finally came.”

Zhou Xun suddenly felt embarrassed and ashamed.

The guests at the scene also applauded and joked.

"Secondly, I would like to thank Mr. Macor, the president of the Venice Film Festival."

"Because at the beginning, I rejected Mr. Macol's invitation just like Zhou Xun rejected me."

“But in the end, I still came.”

"Thank you Zhou Xun for rejecting me, and thank you Makol for rejecting me."

"How regretful I would be without you." Li Chen raised the silver lion in his hand and kissed it.

There was immediate applause at the scene. This young Chinese director who won the Palme d'Or is so humorous.

Makol also gave Li Chen a big hug.

"Thank you for the wine, Li Chen," Makol said with a smile in Li Chen's ear.

"Thank you for the invitation, too, Makor."

"I hope to see the young Li Chen on the podium in Venice in the future." Markel laughed in public.

"Thank you. Yes. I actually prefer gold to silver." Li Chen replied with a smile.

There was applause and cheers at the scene again.

Back on the field, Zhou Xun muttered quietly: "Director Li, I didn't realize you hold a grudge."

"I didn't refuse. I was just worried that I wouldn't be able to perform well."

Li Chen was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Don't think that you women are the only ones who are petty. You are the first actor who rejected me. I will remember this for the rest of my life."

Zhou Xun smiled and said, "Okay, it's an honor to be remembered by Director Li for the rest of my life."

What Li Chen didn't know was that the domestic reporters watching the live broadcast on TV outside the stadium were also cheering.

Li Amano also has another award, and it is most likely the Golden Lion.

After all, Good Night and Good Luck has already won a screenplay award.

Next, the male lead was given to the beast in his heart, Robert Merrill, and Louis Koo did not seem disappointed.

Probably when Li Chen got the Silver Lion, he let it go.

Next came the heroine.

It was the Chinese writer Acheng who came on stage to present the award.

Li Chen smiled and comforted Zhou Xun and Li Qiaoqiao: "There will be opportunities in the future, just relax."

The two of them were not paying attention to Li Chen at all.

Before Li Chen finished speaking, Acheng had already announced the winning actors.

Spoken in Chinese: Painted Skin Weekly
This time Li Chen heard it clearly, it was not a double yolk egg, but Zhou Xun!
This, this is just like what happened in Cannes, another double hit!
After Li Xuejian was crowned emperor in Cannes.

Zhou Xun, crowned queen again in Venice!!!

Zhou Xun's face flushed, and he was trembling like a swan spreading its wings, exerting all its strength to complete the last blow of its life.

Both Chinese and foreigners were going crazy at the scene.

The Chinese reporters outside the venue seemed to be drunk, so excited that they forgot where they were.
