Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 95 Director Li, is the night in Los Angeles still cold?

No matter how outstanding Miss Liu is, she still has an ethereal aura.

But after breaking that membrane with my boyfriend.

Faced with my boyfriend's continuous flow of big gifts, I can't help but feel dazed and uneasy.

Ever since Li Chen and Miss Liu had their first time, Liu's mother never allowed them to have it a second time.

It is euphemistically called: Young people should know how to exercise moderation!

Yang Siwei followed Tim and began to familiarize himself with Hollywood's marketing model.

After spending two days with Miss Liu, Buried Alive is about to start filming.

If the filming doesn't start, Liu Dehua will go crazy. He has already slept in the coffin for four nights.

Miss Liu followed Li Chen to observe the filming of Buried Alive on the crew.

She was really curious about what her boyfriend's brain looked like.

This is the first time I've seen such a strange movie.

Naturally, I didn’t want to miss the filming process.

On the set of Buried Alive, the staff on site are making the final adjustments to the lighting.

Liu Dehua was already lying in the coffin.

Liu Yifei said nothing and held her breath.

This is a specially made coffin used for filming the first scene.

"Reday?"

The script supervisor gave Li Chen an OK gesture.

"Action"

In the pitch-black darkness, Liu Dehua slowly opened his eyes.

But he found himself tied up in a narrow and dark space.

A full two minutes.

There was only the sound of Liu Dehua's rapid breathing, and his mind was blank.

After a while of groping, he found a lighter with his tied hands.

Light the lighter.

Liu Dehua discovered in despair that he was trapped in a very narrow coffin.

Panicked, Liu Dehua pulled off the cloth tied around his mouth and began shouting for help.

"Click" Li Chen suddenly shouted "click".

"Brother Hua, I can't hear fear in your voice."

"When you call for help, don't scream at the top of your lungs. That would make it seem too deliberate."

"You are calling for help instinctively, completely subconsciously."

Liu Dehua nodded: "Sorry, Director, do it again."

He was indeed not immersed in it just now. It was the first time he encountered such shooting techniques and methods.

The camera was on a coffin board that was pulled out from the side.

Li Chen nodded.

"Action"

Liu Dehua was much more natural this time.

After calling for help.

Soon, the dull sound made Liu Dehua clearly realize that he was buried alive.

Faced with everything that happened suddenly, Liu Dehua couldn't accept the fact.

He began to try to hit the coffin lid, and the staff on site poured sand
The falling sand made Liu Dehua even more frightened.

He then used the nails on the coffin board to break the ropes tied to his hands.

He tried to prop the coffin open, but it was in vain.

The specially reinforced coffin was unscathed.
The rotating camera zoomed in, capturing the fear in Liu Dehua's eyes.

At the end of the first day, Liu Dehua's mental state was still normal.

"Brother Hua, are you okay?"

"It's okay, just a little headache." Liu Dehua rubbed his temple.

"Brother Hua, don't endure any discomfort." Li Chen was a little worried.

Ryan Reynolds is said to have received psychological treatment after filming Buried Alive.

To be on the safe side, Li Chen also hired a psychological counselor.

"Thank you Director Li, I'm fine. After filming for decades, this is the first time I have this kind of headache." Liu Dehua said.

"This is a sequelae of people staying in a closed space for a long time." Li Chen nodded.

The filming of Buried Alive progressed very quickly.

On the fifth day of filming Buried Alive

"Action"

The kidnapper pointed a gun at Liu Dehua's female colleague's head.

Forced to record a video asking for help, Liu Dehua had no choice but to do as the kidnappers asked.

He also ignored the government search and rescue team's request not to allow him to shoot videos.

But in the end, the female colleague was shot in the head.

Liu Dehua finally woke up and no one cared about his life or death.

Desperate, helpless, and confused.

Liu Dehua presented it very well with facial expressions and eyes.

This reminded Li Chen of Liu Dehua in Lost or Alone.

For ten consecutive days, Li Chen controlled the shooting time to eight hours every day.

Liu Dehua's face became visibly paler.

It’s finally almost finished.

This filming of being buried alive was not only a torment for Liu Dehua.

The same was true for Li Chen. He was really worried that something might happen to Liu Dehua.

There are precedents of how crazy Liu Dehua's fans are.

For the safety of his family, Liu Dehua cut off his fingers and filmed a video as requested by the kidnappers.

After doing all this, Liu Dehua knew that only death was waiting for him.

Lying in the coffin, the light in his eyes began to fade.
The camera returns to darkness again, and in the darkness there is silence, as silent as death.

All that came was, "I'm sorry, Jack. I'm really sorry."

There is no background sound or noise.

But it just confirmed the fact that no rescue team came at all.

In fact, Li Chen added private comments when he changed the script.

In addition to the anti-war meaning of using Asian actors, Li Chen also wanted to use this film to bury alive the objective existence of bloated knights in America.

"Crack!"

"It's done, Brother Hua."

Li Chen and the staff helped the dazed Liu Dehua out of the coffin.

Liu Dehua let out a long breath, his face still covered with sweat and dirt.

"Is the filming finished, Director Li?" Liu Dehua said, forcing a smile.

"The filming is finished. Brother Hua, you still have to listen to me and receive a week of psychological counseling before going back." Li Chen said.

"No, the premiere of A Tale of a Child's Dream is coming up soon, and I, as the lead actor, cannot be absent."

Li Chen sighed and really wanted to say that it didn't matter whether you went to that Childhood Dream or not.

The box office will definitely be beaten by Shen Hua.

Liu Dehua forced a smile and said, "I appreciate Director Li's kindness."

"Although this scene was painful to shoot, it was really enjoyable. I think I will never forget this experience in my life."

Liu Dehua made a self-deprecating remark.

Li Chen couldn't laugh: "How about this, Brother Hua, let the psychological counselor go back to China with you."

"Don't refuse again, otherwise, this may be the last time we work together."

"Haha." Liu Dehua laughed twice before the sand on his face choked him and he started coughing.

His assistant quickly patted him on the back.

Liu Dehua raised his hand to indicate that everything was fine, and then said, "Okay, I'll listen to Director Li."

After packing up, Liu Dehua prepared to leave.

"Director Li, Yifei, see you when I return to China."

Li Chen nodded, and Liu Yifei waved goodbye to Liu Dehua: "See you when I return home, Brother Hua."

Watching Liu Dehua leave, Miss Liu sighed: "Brother Hua is so dedicated."

Li Chen smiled and said, "You're not bad either, Xixi."

"When filming, you really risk your life. Don't be so desperate when filming fighting scenes in the future."

Miss Liu knew what her boyfriend was referring to and smiled sweetly.

"Everyone listens to Director Li. Even Brother Hua dares not disobey. As a little actor, I dare not go against Director Li."

Li Chen smelled the fragrance of his girlfriend and smiled: "When we get home, I'll let Director Li listen to you."

Miss Liu felt sweet in her heart: "Should we prepare to return home?"

Li Chen nodded: "Almost done, go back before National Day."

"I've asked Sister Lu to start preparing. We can finish filming the campus scenes during the National Day holiday."

"In the next two days, I've finalized your next play for next year!"

Miss Liu was stunned: "Next play?"

Li Chen nodded: "Yes, I remember you envied Angelina Jolie after watching Mr. and Mrs. Smith."

"Do you want to act with her?"

Miss Liu was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Can I really act with her?"

Li Chen smiled maliciously and said, "It depends on your performance. I have slept alone for nearly ten nights."

"It's a bit chilly in Los Angeles, I need a warm bed"

Miss Liu's pretty face felt inexplicably hot.

I looked at my boyfriend and we both thought of the passionate love that night.

"Okay, Director Li, are you blatantly trying to take advantage of a female star?"

"Yes, it's you who is lurking, no one else!" Li Chen said with a smile.

Miss Liu snorted haughtily and walked out of the set first.

Li Chen secretly thought there was hope, and followed him all the way back to the hotel.

As the saying goes, a day without seeing you feels like three years.

Although the two met every day, they knew the sweetness of it after the first time.

It’s just that you can only look at it but not eat it these days.

Li Chen felt more than as if a long autumn had passed. He was so thirsty that smoke was coming out of his mouth.

Like secret agents, the two returned to Li Chen's room quietly and kissed each other passionately.

Li Chen moved his hand from Miss Liu's fair neck all the way down, not wanting to miss even a single inch of her skin.

Kiss all the way to the chest.

Miss Liu also passionately stripped off her boyfriend's clothes.

The masculine aura of the man made her feel confused and infatuated like a poppy.

She hugged her boyfriend's prickly short hair and buried it in her chest.

Li Chen roughly pulled off the white burden on Miss Liu's chest.

Then he swiftly stripped off the last layer of restraints on her body and threw it aside.

Kissing her madly and possessing her, intoxicated.

It was as if he wanted to melt the beauty in his arms into his body.

It was not until the moon rose in the west that the man and woman were able to free themselves from the spirit and desire.

Li Chen sniffed Miss Liu's hair with some lingering aftertaste.

Miss Liu wrapped her hands around her boyfriend's neck.

A white thigh pressed heavily between her boyfriend's waist and hips.

A sweet baby voice sounded: "Director Li, is the night in Los Angeles still cold?"

"You are like a little stove, warming my heart."

"Now Director Li, can you tell me about my next movie?"

"You will know it sooner or later. Now let's study the body structure of men and women!"

"Woo."

The next day, Li Chen went to Chiyou Pictures in a somewhat depressed mood.

One month after its release, the global box office totaled 1.25 million.

All the employees of Chiyou Pictures were extremely excited and enthusiastic.

I didn’t expect that after changing to a loyal female boss, the company would immediately come back to life. It’s amazing.

Wen Zairen and Tim came to Li Chen's office together.

Tim's face was full of smiles. During this period of time, he had gotten rid of the frustration he had experienced in Hollywood over the past decade.

Wan Zairen is also very happy. A Saw and an Insidious will completely establish his position in the field of horror films.

"Li Chen, The Lurker is doing very well at the box office. Can we start preparing for the sequel?" Wan Zairen said with a carefree smile while sitting on the sofa.

"Boss, I think James is right."

Li Chen didn't respond to the two people's conversation, but just said: "Wen Zairen, don't be so anxious, you have to learn to enjoy life properly."

Wen Zairen nodded and smiled: "Okay, I should stop for a while."

"I heard from Tim that you bought a manor here. I'm not as rich as you."

“But it’s time to buy a house.”

Wen Zairen has been settled down.

Li Chen threw the prepared script and storyboard on the table.

Tim picked it up and looked at it.

Thieves

This was a script that his boss had asked him to register in the guild.

"Boss, is this our next play?"

Li Chen nodded and said, "Let the company calculate the budget for this thief as soon as possible." "For the two female leads, I have tentatively decided on Angelina Jolie and Monica Bellucci."

"The other actors will be selected by the casting director."

"Give it to me for approval. Bellucci and I have some connections in Venice, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"Julie, go contact her and see what she wants."

"Lurking is just our opening scene. Chiyou Pictures cannot just make B-type horror movies."

Tim was a little excited, but he still had to remind his boss: "The boss is right."

"But Jolie is now the highest-paid actress in Hollywood, so it's not cheap to hire her."

"Of course. You go and talk to her first. It'll be fine as long as she doesn't ask for too much. Besides, we don't know if her schedule is suitable for it."

Jolie’s salary for Mr. and Mrs. Smith was 10 million US dollars, and this was the price Li Chen had in mind.

He would accept any increase as long as it does not exceed one million US dollars.

In the thief's script, he changed all the five-member South Korean team into an American team.

Macau Park was changed to Macau Lee, a Chinese American.

Li Chen thinks this setting is more rounded.

The former leader of the American Thieves Squad was a Chinese.

This makes Popeye's jealousy and poaching of Pepsi more convincing.

After all, Popeye and Pepsi are both white. How could he tolerate that Pepsi, whom he secretly loves, likes a Chinese?

Even if this Chinese is the leader of the team.

The two women who survived the American team were Anycall and Pepsi.

Angelina Jolie was the perfect choice for the role of Jun Ji-hyun (Anycall) in Li Chen's opinion.

Whether in terms of figure, appearance or personality, Jolie is better than Jun Ji-hyun.

Monica Bellucci plays the role of Kim Hye-soo (Pepsi).

The two beauties should be very eye-catching.

The remaining four people from the Zhongguo team plus Li from Macau make up a total of five people.

The undercover policewoman inside must be reserved for Miss Liu.

By then, Miss Liu will have to cut her hair short and put on a more mature makeup.

There are still four people, and Li Chen decided to return to China for an open audition.

There is also the big boss Wei Hong at the end of the film. Li Chen decided to invite Li Xuejian, the Cannes Film Festival winner, to make a guest appearance.

Originally, Wei Hong was positioned in this play as the biggest smuggling boss in China.

Finally, it makes sense for the role to be played by a Chinese actress.

With the domineering presence of Li Xuejian in his performance as Zhang Zuolin, Li Chen thought it would be easy for him to play the role of Wei Hong.

This film is undoubtedly full of great temptation for domestic actors.

Although their pay certainly cannot be compared with that of the Americans.

But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go global.

I guess by then, the circle will explode.

Because this drama is absolutely unprecedented in China in terms of both the production amount and the cast.

And this Palme d'Or and Silver Lion winner was directed by him himself.

Bellucci, the Italian goddess born in the 60s, and Jolie, who was born in the 70s and is at the peak of her beauty.

The appearance of two sexy goddesses on the same stage is the gimmick of this movie.

"Okay, boss, I'll do it right away." Tim responded and turned to leave.

"Tim"

"Boss, is there anything else you want me to do?"

"Let's change the issuing company this time."

“After the project is announced, if Warner is willing to distribute it, we will choose Warner.”

"Change to another one? Isn't the new line a good cooperation, boss?"

"By the way, Boss, there is something I forgot to tell you."

"When New Line was interested in The Conjuring, Warner Bros. actually chose Rogue."

"It's just that you quickly announced that your script was not for sale, and Warners never mentioned it again."

"If we ask Warner to distribute it, they will definitely be willing to do so."

"After all, they have always loved this kind of crime genre. Infernal Affairs and New World are examples."

Li Chen nodded secretly, this was exactly what he wanted.

He hopes to plant a seed between New Line and Warner.

"Tim, we Chinese have a saying: If you want to get something, you must first give it. Think about it carefully."

Tim is also well aware of New Line’s predicament.

To put it bluntly, New Line is now like a drowning man.

The potential profits gave Xinxian a taste of sweetness, but it was far from enough.

But at this time, if the parent company replaced them and cooperated with Chiyou Pictures.

Then I guess Shay from New Line has to say hello to all the female members of Warner’s senior management!
Tim came to his senses a little and looked at his boss with a surprised look.

The boss's ambition is a bit too big, which is really disproportionate to his age.

Although he is not optimistic, his execution ability is definitely no problem.

On September 9, Li Chen completed the editing of Buried Alive and then returned to China in a low-key manner with Yang Siwei.

Miss Liu and her mother had returned home the day before.

Otherwise, the two of them would be blocked by reporters at the airport, and the truth would be revealed to the world.

On the plane, Yang Siwei said with a smile: "Boss, have you paid attention to the domestic news these two days?"

"That day at the premiere of Child's Dream, a reporter asked Brother Hua why he looked so bad."

"Guess what Brother Hua said?"

Li Chen shook his head and said, "I can't guess. I'm not interested."

"Brother Hua said that I just crawled out of a coffin, so how could my face look good? Haha." Yang Siwei couldn't help laughing.

"The media all thought that Brother Hua was joking. Little did they know that Brother Hua was telling the truth. Haha, it made me laugh to death." Yang Siwei talked to himself.

Li Chen wore an eye mask to sleep to adjust to the jet lag because he landed in China in the morning.

Once you go abroad, it will take more than a month.

The moment the plane landed, Li Chen sighed and said that China was still the best place, even the air was so friendly.

Yang Siwei smiled and said, "Boss, that's right. I think so too."

When she got home, Miss Liu was already sitting on the sofa, petting the cat and playing with the dog like a hostess.

Li Chen felt warm in his heart and deliberately teased his girlfriend: "Miss, have you come to the wrong place?"

Miss Liu held the book in her hands and said without turning her head, "Really? Then where should I go?"

Li Chen walked over to Miss Liu and sat down, saying with a smile, "When did you come? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Miss Liu put down the book, crossed her fair and round legs sideways, and leaned half of her body on Li Chen.

"Have you had breakfast?"

"Ate."

"Have Julie and Bellucci responded?"

"How can it be that fast? Many of these Hollywood stars have already booked their schedules until the year after next."

"But Jolie and Bellucci should have schedules next year, and once Those Years Between Us is released, it should be about the same."

"I'll take a shower, change my clothes, and we'll go to school together."

"I promised Teacher Tian that I would bring Silver Lion over. By the way, I have something to discuss with the school."

"Well, go wash up, I'll wait for you."

"How about you take a shower with me?"

"What are you thinking about? It's daytime!"

"So you mean it can be done at night?" Li Chen said with a wicked smile.

"roll!"

"Okay!" Li Chen touched Miss Liu's moist lips and went to take a shower happily.

I drove Miss Liu to school and found myself already in her senior year. Time passed so quickly.

Yang Mi's Wang Zhaojun has started filming.

The media also interviewed Yang Mi and asked her what her advantages were compared to Fan Qiaoqiao?
Yang Mi has a good EQ, and she started by praising Fan Qiaoqiao.

Then she said modestly that she felt her advantage was that she was young and smart.

Li Chen and Miss Liu strolled around the campus.

Inevitably, he became the focus of his younger classmates.

"Look, those two people walking in front seem to be Liu Yifei and Director Li Chen?"

"Really? Liu Yifei is so beautiful?"

"I say, let's go up and say hello."

Miss Liu was chatting with her boyfriend: "Brother Hua's movie "Child's Dream" is too tragic, isn't it?"

"It's a pity that Brother Hua came all the way back from across the ocean to attend the premiere."

Miss Liu said whatever she thought without any scruples.

What can Li Chen say? Choosing this time slot is like asking for death.
Liu Dehua's childhood dream romance really crushed the legend of big brother Long into pieces in seconds.

The first day box office was less than one million, and the Asian premiere almost became a joke.

It’s impossible to finish the schedule in a month.

It is estimated that the theaters will abandon it in less than two weeks.

Liu Dehua's title of box office poison has been further confirmed.

"I'll call Brother Hua later and ask about his condition."

Miss Liu also nodded and said seriously, "We should fight. We just finished filming Buried Alive and now we have this kind of box office. Brother Hua should be even more depressed."

While the two were talking, three girls came towards them.

Both Li Chen and Miss Liu noticed it.

Miss Liu didn't know them, but Li Chen knew two of them: Yuan Shanshan and Zhang Xiaofei.

"Director Li, Yifei, the three of us are Yang Mi's roommates." Yuan Shanshan was the first to speak.

"Hello." Miss Liu still said this in a fairy-like manner.

Li Chen found it a little funny. We are Yang Mi's roommates. What kind of opening statement is this?

"Are you looking for Yang Mi? She should be in the Wang Zhaojun crew."

Looking at the three young people in front of him, Li Chen joked happily.

"Ah? No, no, we are not looking for Yang Mi." The three girls waved their hands to deny.

It was not until they saw the smile in Li Chen's eyes that they realized that Director Li was joking with them.

None of the three expected Director Li to be so easy to get along with.

The nervous mood was instantly swept away.

It was Yuan Shanshan who spoke first and said with a smile: "Director Li, I'm Yuan Shanshan."

"I'm Zhang Xiaofei."

"I'm Zhang Xuan."

The excitement here immediately attracted more students' attention.

The two of them were gradually being surrounded.

Li Chen smiled and said, "I have taken note of all three of you. Now let me go see Teacher Tian, ​​okay?"

"Oh, okay, okay."

The three girls immediately beamed with joy, stepped aside, and stood in a row like three receptionists.

I watched the two of them being stopped by several classmates.

Yuan Shanshan exclaimed: "I didn't expect Director Li to be so humorous and funny."

"Yeah, isn't it said outside that Director Li is hard to talk to?"

"As expected, rumors are not to be believed. Director Li just said that he has taken note of the three of us. Do you think it's true?"

"That must be true. How can a big director like him fool three little girls like us?"

Li Chen arrived at Tian Zhuangzhuang's office, and unexpectedly, Teacher Li was also there.

"Haha, our Silver Lion director is back." Teacher Li said with a smile.

"Teacher Li, Teacher Tian."

Tian Zhuangzhuang also stood up, put one hand on Li Chen's shoulder and squeezed it hard.

"When did you come back?"

"I landed this morning and reported to school right away."

Li Chen said as he took out the silver lion.

Teacher Li took it and looked at it. Tian Zhuangzhuang said, "Let's go to the principal together."

Li Chen followed the two to the principal's office again.

After the lively atmosphere, I took a few promotional photos for the school.

Then he returned to the office with Tian Zhuangzhuang.

Teacher Li asked him to find time to take the make-up exam, so he had to go through the motions.

When only Li Chen and Tian Zhuangzhuang were left.

Li Chencai said: "Teacher, I have an idea. I would like to ask you to discuss it with the school to see if it can be done?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang said, "Tell me what you think."

Li Chen nodded.

"You must be aware of the gap between our domestic special effects and those in Hollywood."

"The gap in hardware is easy to make up, but the lack of talent cannot be made up with money."

Tian Zhuangzhuang also nodded and said, "You are right, so what are you going to do?"

"If you have any use for the school, just ask and the school will definitely support you strongly."

"Look, I'm considering whether I can have the junior and senior students of our school's Film and Television Technology Department sign a contract with my company for targeted training."

"Then we will go to Hollywood to study in batches, with each batch limited to 25 people."

“Even students who have already graduated are fine.”

“I plan to start my own special effects company in two years.”

“These people will be the pioneers of domestic special effects companies.”

　I have something to do today, so I updated it earlier. It will still be updated at 7:00 tomorrow.
