Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 96: Fire from afar

After leaving Teacher Tian, ​​Li Chen went to look for Xue Xiaolu again.

Those years, filming started on October 1st in Yunnan.

This was decided by Li Chen early in the morning.

Yunnan has the Erhai Lake, and the scenery is beautiful. The photos taken there are definitely better than those taken by Jiubadao who cobbled together some random editing.

Most importantly, in Li Chen’s eyes, the filming during those years should have been done in a place with flowers, sea, and spring-like weather all year round.

Otherwise, if you take photos in Beijing, it might be all gray and smoggy, without the colorful youth.

Starting from 04, the word "smog" appeared in the weather forecast in Beijing for the first time.

Li Chen sent Miss Liu home and went to the company himself.

In the past two days, the Internet has been full of news about Olympic competitions.

Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Mainland have successively announced their films slated for Oscar nominations.

First, Star Media and the Hong Kong Producers Association revealed that "If Love" will represent Hong Kong Island in the competition for this year's Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Chen Kexin said in an interview that he had long planned to participate in the Oscars, so he rejected the five major international film festivals.

“Although I know participating in other film festivals will not conflict with the Oscars.”

"But my film is not an art film, so I don't need to participate in many film festivals. If I have to go, I'll go to the best ones."

"I chose to go to the Oscars, and I am confident that I can win an Oscar."

This guy and his girlfriend have always been outspoken.

But it’s no wonder that Chen Kexin is so arrogant.

"If Love" defeated "The Myth" and "The Song of Everlasting Regret" and finally won among the three films, giving people the illusion that no one else could have won.

Coincidentally, another director Chen from the mainland's Wu Ji made a high-profile statement early on.

The target was Oscar, and today it was finally vindicated by the General Administration.

"Chen Kaige's The Promise will represent mainland films in the competition for the Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars next year."

"This is the first time that Chen Kaige has represented the mainland in the Oscars competition."

"If Love, The Promise" compete for the Oscars to stage a double "Chen" story?

Six or seven films including "Qinghong" and "Kekexili" were all swept, and "The Promise" officially set out!
A relevant person in charge of the Film Bureau told reporters.

“The Promise is an excellent film.”

"After repeated discussions and research, we finally decided to select it to represent mainland films in the Oscars."

"It represents the highest level of combination of artistry and commerciality in mainland China this year."

Netizens were immediately dissatisfied.

"What's up with the Thieves Family? Does the Palme d'Or have to be decided based on seniority?"

"The guy above, forget it. Director Li didn't even sign up."

"How can a family of thieves, with their values ​​​​not being correct, enter the Olympics?"

"What about the painted skin?"

"Mainland films participating in the Oscars must have seven days of commercial screening in the mainland, but Painted Skin did not have that."

"Then Wuji has it?"

"You can go to Chengdu to watch the preview during the National Day holiday. Director Chen has already prepared it."

"Hey, three seconds of silence for Director Li. I just don't know what's going on with Wuji? He's even exaggerating it to the extreme."

"That couple praised Wuji to the skies. I'm really fucking curious about the epic masterpiece that they spent three years and their whole family working on."

When Yang Siwei was interviewed by the media, he cleverly sent his blessings to Wuji.

In response to media questions, whether the reason for not signing up was because the thief family had incorrect values, as rumored by the outside world.

According to Li Chen's instructions, Yang Siwei only replied with eight words: Different people have different opinions.

After entering the company, the employees all greeted the boss with a smile.

"Director Li."

"Director Li."

Li Chen smiled and nodded: "Notify all departments to come to the conference room for the meeting."

"Okay, Director Li."

"Director Li seems to be in a good mood, and Wuji doesn't seem to care about his chance to win an Oscar!" The two girls at the front desk whispered.

In Li Chen's office, Wu Bin still felt a little sorry for Li Chen.

Li Chen, however, was very open-minded: "Brother Wu, please be open-minded. There will be many opportunities in the future. I don't care. You don't have to have this expression."

Li Chen certainly had his reasons for not signing up for the Oscars.

Speculations from the outside world are only part of the story.

There are many reasons.

Let’s not talk about the unwritten “ban order” that already exists within the Oscars.

Oscar judges are generally older and still have prejudices against Chinese films.

Except for Li An's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which won the Best Foreign Language Film award once, all other films that were nominated for the Oscars failed.

Why? Because Li An has already blossomed in Hollywood and is a Hollywood "insider".

That year, Farewell My Concubine was nominated for an Oscar with the momentum of winning the Cannes Palme d'Or and the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Everyone thought it was a sure win.

But unexpectedly, it lost to an unknown Spanish movie "The Daughter of the Four Thousand Dollars".

Afterwards, some people heard such words from several Oscar judges.

"This film has won so many awards, it doesn't need our award."

In one sentence, Oscar is just like that.

What's more, Wuji basically has everything going for him: the right time, the right place, and the right people.

Just one of the producers, China Film Group, has basically been confirmed.

Why should Li Chen be so stubborn as to bring humiliation upon himself?

Moreover, Oscar was the only one mentioned in the thief family in the previous life.

five minutes later.

In the conference room, there are heads of various departments including finance, legal affairs, personnel, administration, production, editing, directing, and art.

In addition, Publicity Director Yang Siwei and Operations Director Wu Bin were sitting neatly in the company's largest Conference Room No. 1.

"I called everyone here to listen to their opinions."

"After the Spring Festival this year, it will be the third anniversary of the company's establishment."

“This year is also the first year that our company moved into Splendid Diamond.”

"Therefore, this year's company annual meeting should be held on a grand scale to improve employee cohesion."

"Everyone, go down and listen to the opinions of the employees below and discuss them."

"Siwei, I'll leave this matter to you. Work with Qi Min to come up with a budget and give it to me within two days."

"The budget can be higher, so that the employees won't say Director Li is stingy." Li Chen said self-deprecatingly with a smile.

Executives from various departments also laughed.

Especially the financial director Qi Min, she knows the company's profits this year very clearly.

I'm afraid that even if all the film and television companies in Beijing were added together, they would not have half the profit of Rongchen Pictures this year.

"Don't worry, boss. Mr. Qi and I will never save money for you." Yang Siwei said with a smile.

There was laughter in the meeting room
The employees saw their boss and the company owner laughing and talking happily through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, and they all speculated whether there was some happy news.

In the afternoon, all the company employees knew that this year's annual meeting would be a grand event.

In the past two years, we have tripled the bonuses and the employees are very satisfied.

It seems that this year's momentum is not only strong, but the employees are even more excited.

Li Chen then gave the music score of "Those Years" to Yang Siwei.

Yang Siwei held the music score and said, "Boss, you are really versatile."

It is not difficult for people who understand music theory to write music score based on a song.

Li Chen smiled and said, "I'll reluctantly agree to the one who is multi-talented, but forget about the one who is multi-versal."

"Your boss, my voice is broken, why don't I sing it myself?"

"Go contact Yu Chengqing from Taiwan. I want him to compose the music and sing it."

Yu Chengqing is an all-round singer who can compose and arrange music as well as sing.

Li Chen felt that if he sang those years, he would definitely not be worse than Hu Xia.

Yang Siwei didn't ask any more questions and nodded, "No problem, boss, I'll make the contact."

Given the current popularity of this movie, it wouldn't be difficult to find someone to record the ending song.

"It has to be completed before mid-December. If Yu Chengqing can't do it, then we'll have to replace him," said Li Chen.

Li Chen initially planned to move the schedule for those years to the Spring Festival period.

It was already 8 o'clock in the evening when I left the company, and I had just finished watching Splendid Diamond.

Li Chen was captured by reporters from several media outlets who had been waiting for a long time.

I don't know how they got the news of my return.

"Director Li, Director Li, do you have anything to say about what Director Chen Kexin from Hong Kong said yesterday?"

"Director Li, do you think that what Director Chen Kexin said was an allusion to Painted Skin? After all, Painted Skin and If Love Are The Same are on the same schedule and are competitors."

Reporters all know that Li Chen has always been a man who would make a big splash if he did make a statement.

He raised a very explosive question right at the start.

More than a dozen reporters pointed their microphones at him, hoping that Li Chen could continue to "speak wildly" and "surprise people."

In fact, Li Chen also had some opinions about what Chen Kexin said.

I always feel that he is implying Painted Skin, but Painted Skin is not an art film and it still participated in Venice.

Since you asked for it, I'm sorry.

"Whether he is alluding to Painted Skin, you have to ask him."

“As for competitors, do you mean box office or awards?”

"If it's about the box office, then I can tell you clearly that Painted Skin has never considered If Love as a competitor."

"If it's an award, let's wait until he's nominated for an Oscar. Sorry, please make way."

"Director Li, what do you say about the scandal with Liu Yifei?"

……

At this moment, the reporters were extremely excited.

This is the long-distance battle between the two major directors from Hong Kong and the Mainland!
Sure enough, after a day of waiting, I got a big reward. This news will definitely break today.

The reporters stopped Li Chen and asked a few more questions.

Li Chencai escaped from the crowd under the protection of two assistants.

After getting in the car, Li Chen called Yang Siwei.

"Yeah. OK, boss. I know what to do."

Yang Siwei hung up the phone, full of fighting spirit. He immediately called his men to make a contingency plan.

Today I am just taking advantage of the situation and giving Chen Kexin a warning to prevent this old man from being so talkative all day long.

Nan Fang Daily
"Lost in Thailand, produced by Rongchen Pictures and directed by Xu Zheng, has entered the post-production stage."

"Director Xu Zheng expressed his hope that Lost in Thailand can be shown during the Spring Festival."

"The crime-themed feature film Father's Love, co-produced by Rongchen Pictures and Yinghuang, will hold its premiere at the BJ CPPCC Auditorium on October 10."

"It will be released simultaneously in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Mainland on October 10."

Beijing News

Palme d'Or director Li Chen returned to Beijing yesterday in a low-key manner.

Our reporter interviewed director Li Chen as soon as possible.

Director Li Chen's big screen debut "Those Years" will start shooting in Yunnan on October 10.

Regarding the scandal with Liu Yifei, director Li Chen said with a smile: He has too many rumored girlfriends, this is his third time in prison!

Li Chen was also amused by the comments of netizens, as many of them still have high IQs.

It's a pretty accurate guess even if you just guess out of thin air.

"As the old saying goes, things never go as planned. If things go wrong, this is the real problem."

"There's an old saying that goes, the third one is superior!"

"Guo Xiang is just a supporting role, Xiao Long Nu is the main character."

"Did the paparazzi get paid? There's a rumored girlfriend every now and then, I'm numb to it! There's not a single confirmed case, I wonder how long Liu Yifei can stay on the top of the charts!"

"Isn't Mr. Li a rabbit? Now he doesn't eat grass near his nest? Is he targeting Little Dragon Girl?"

"Big directors playing with female stars is like monkeys moving corn, they move one and then throw it away. Fairy sister, please don't let yourself fall into depravity."

"A big director is better than a godfather!"

And these are just appetizers.

The highlight came at 22 p.m., when three portal websites reported Li Chen’s remarks two hours ago within five minutes of each other.

The titles are varied and all are eye-catching.

"Director Li Chen fired at Director Chen Kexin, apparently in response to Director Chen Kexin's remarks yesterday."

"Painted Skin never considered If Love is a competitor, and director Li Chen is pessimistic about If Love being nominated for an Oscar"

"Chen Kexin angered Li Chen. Was it because he spoke without restraint or did he do it on purpose?"

"Painted Skin, If Love Has Not Been Released Yet, Two Directors Have Already Exchanged Fire."

As soon as the news broke out.

Immediately, countless netizens commented.

"Fuck, Director Li is on full blast. The last time I saw Director Li being so outspoken was at the premiere of A World Without Thieves."

"Fuck, you should scold him. Don't indulge him. He is so noble. If he has the guts, he should not even go to a film festival!"

"What else does he have besides being sweet? Compared to Director Li, he is only older. But at his age, how can he not think before speaking?"

“These journalists are finally doing something real.”

"I want to know how Chen Kexin will respond now."

"Chen Kexin used a trick of indirect criticism, and Director Li used a trick of naming names. Next, I predict that Chen Kexin will be at his wit's end."

Unlike netizens who say whatever they want, artists in the circle will not easily take sides even if they have an attitude.

Those who dare to take sides are basically smart people among the first-line artists.

When Zhou Xun learned the news, it was Zeng Jia who called her.

She was warned again and again not to take sides rashly, otherwise she would be in trouble both inside and outside.

Although Zhou Xun has a personality, he is not stupid.

The Oscars are important, but whether or not one can be nominated is still a question. However, Painted Skin has allowed her to stand on the podium of one of the three major European awards.

She would be doing justice to Director Chen if she did not stand on Director Li's side.

Zhou Xun immediately called Yang Siwei.

"Sister Xun, please don't comment on this matter. You can't control it. Is that person sick? My boss will definitely not tolerate him if he says such things."

Zhou Xun sighed, a little irritated: "Ah, sister is so unlucky. Two dramas were released on the same day, and Director Li and Director Chen fought first."

"I don't even need to think about it. My sister must have been living a life worse than death at the premieres of the two dramas."

Yang Siwei laughed and said, "Sister Xun, I support you spiritually."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Siwei also posted a blog post on his blog.

"Although my boss is young, he won't easily get angry with others. If he does, it must be because he asked for it."

The blog post was published within two minutes.

Someone left a message.

Yang Mi: If a senior student is offended by someone, then the problem must be with that person.

Tang Yan: What the boss said is true. I don’t think it’s offensive, right?
Huang Xiaoming: Director Li has always been bold in speaking out.

Fan Qiaoqiao: Director Li's tone was a bit aggressive, but what he said was indeed true. Li Qiaoqiao: I am the lead actor in Painted Skin, and I am optimistic about it.

The next morning, the people in the circle woke up and understood what had happened the night before.

Artists below the first-tier ranks have all kept their mouths shut and are not qualified to make any comments. They cannot afford to offend either side.

But Chen Kexin’s girlfriend jumped out.

When facing the reporter's interview, he spoke frankly.

"Some directors in the mainland are too sensitive. My husband was just commenting on the facts and didn't mean to insinuate anything about anyone."

The news spread online.

Li Chen didn't even have to do anything, mainland netizens taught her a lesson.

"Your husband? Why don't you get married first?"

"If you are not from the same family, you should not marry. You two are almost a hundred years old in total. Why are you still so willful?"

"Oscar statuette? You should be nominated first!"

"Comparing box office, Director Li's lowest is Lost on Journey, which took 4900 million. Take out your boyfriend's highest and compare."

"Forget about the awards. Don't compete. It's for your own good."

"It's as if Director Li isn't just discussing the matter at hand."

"Don't aim too high and pursue that flashy golden man. Let me tell you something: flowers in the water, the moon in the mirror."

"Your boyfriend has gray hair, forget it"

Early in the morning, Li Chen and Miss Liu were eating breakfast and reading the online comments as jokes.

Miss Liu was also paying attention to Yang Siwei and asked curiously, "Director Li, many people left messages for Siwei."

Li Chen smiled and said, "Xixi, the artists in the entertainment industry are all smart people. No one would be so rash as to offend a big director."

"If there is, it must be because the disparity in strength between the two sides is so great that even a fool would know how to choose sides."

Miss Liu smiled and said, "I choose too!"

After that, I left a message under Yang Siwei's blog: Siwei, I am not familiar with Director Li, but I believe in you.
"Look, I threw myself out."

Li Chen took one look and immediately shook his head and chuckled, "Aren't you just trying to hide it? Netizens will definitely be more suspicious that you are my girlfriend."

Miss Liu said cheerfully, "Then doubt it. I haven't admitted it anyway."

Compared to the cautiousness in leaving messages to each other among first-tier artists, the bigwigs don’t have so many concerns.

"Li Chen, don't worry. Although the mainland distributor of If Love is Star Media, I will support you this time."

"Okay, Mr. Han, you should save yourself the trouble. After all, Xingmei is also a partner of your China Film Group. There is no need for that."

"I really don't take love seriously."

"Brother, I can't say anything else, but the publicity and promotion of Painted Skin definitely crushes If Love." Wang Changtian said angrily.

Painted Skin brought him great benefits, and he was worried that he would have no chance to repay the favor, and now here comes the chance.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Changtian called his assistant: "Xiao Ping, if you love the next order, don't take it anymore."

Li Xiaoping was stunned, but still nodded in agreement.

After the movie is released, the distributor will inevitably increase its exposure or strike while the iron is hot by appearing on TV shows and issuing press releases.

Mr. Wang is determined to stand on the side of Rongchen Pictures.

But think about it, it makes sense, only a fool would side with Chen Kexin.

Miss Liu was petting her cat and reading a blog nearby, while Li Chen was answering the phone.

Wanda's President Bao made a phone call and even stated without hesitation that Painted Skin would definitely be taken care of in the screening schedule.

Li Chen explained again and again, it's really not necessary!

But they have made up their minds, as if you are looking down on Wanda if you don’t accept it.

Ren Zhonglun from Shanghai Film Group also called us, and his meaning was very obscure, he would definitely side with our people.

It is self-evident who our people are.

Even Huayi's Xiao Wang and Bernard's Yu Dong expressed their absolute support with "righteous indignation".

Li Chen was speechless. It seemed like Painted Skin was a vulnerable group.

Although the bosses have reached a tacit understanding in private, there is no wall that is impenetrable in the world.

Someone broke the news
"Chen Kexin's mouth is a source of trouble, and his girlfriend adds fuel to the fire."

"If Love Is Warm, it may be jointly 'boycotted' by many mainland cinema chains and the screening schedule may be reduced."

Netizens were all there to laugh at the joke, and all said it was all their own fault.

Chen Kexin was a little annoyed. He didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Just now, Mr. Qin from Xinmei called him and confirmed that the news on the Internet should be true.

I didn't expect that young man to have so much energy.

Now he is in a dilemma.

He would not risk offending the majority of mainland cinema chains by using the media to appeal for justice.

Just now Yinghuang also asked someone to pass a message to him, asking him not to be so stubborn.

Just a few words, but they carry a lot of weight.

My girlfriend is also very worried and she dares not speak to the media easily anymore.

Li Chen knew this wouldn't work.

Let Yang Siwei make a statement on behalf of the company.

"Rongchen Pictures' publicity director Ms. Yang Siwei announced that there is no such thing as a joint boycott or reduction in film schedules as has been said online."

"Rongchen Pictures has full confidence in Painted Skin and does not need to resort to such means."

"If mainland cinema chains reduce the screening schedule of a certain film, there is only one reason: the audience is not interested in it."

A battle without gunpowder came to an end.

The power of Rongchen Pictures surfaced for the first time.

In the past, everyone just felt that Rongchen Pictures had strength, but this time it was truly demonstrated.

The tacit understanding reached among the big guys in silence can better illustrate the problem.

This has now solidified Rongchen Pictures' title as the uncrowned king.

Fan Qiaoqiao asked Yang Siwei to come out for dinner.

There were only two people in the private room. Fan Qiaoqiao sighed, "Director Li is really, how can I put it, the allies eliminated the enemy without even making a move."

Yang Siwei said with a smile: "It was Chen Kexin who stepped into the trap. My boss is definitely not a good person to talk to."

"The big guys in the industry were so kind that my boss was at a loss as to what to do, so he issued a statement."

On September 9, Li Chen, the leading actors of Those Years crew and Xue Xiaolu flew to Kunming.

Tang Yan and Miss Liu sat together, and their relationship became increasingly close, like sisters-in-law.

Li Chen sat with Xue Xiaolu.

Shen Teng and Qiao Shan were separated from Li Chen by the aisle.

Shen Teng was really a school idol at that time, but he didn't brag later.

The plane took off, and Shen Teng tried to find topics to get close to Li Chen.

"Director Li, please come and give us some advice on our drama when you are free." Shen Teng smiled quite innocently.

Li Chen thought that he had to make himself look more vulgar when putting on makeup.

"Okay, I'll definitely go when I have time." Li Chen said with a smile.

Qiao Shan next to Shen Teng is chubby, which is very consistent with the fat man played by Hao Shaowen.

But he is funnier than the adult Hao Shaowen.

This reminded Li Chen of the titles of "Health Brother" and "King of Bathing" in later generations.

However, the King of Bathing is still just a junior of Tang Yan.

The plane landed in Kunming.

The crew has already contacted a local private school and found extras locally.

The first day of National Day.

Before filming started, Li Chen accepted media interviews on behalf of the "Those Years" crew and accepted a media visit during the filming.

There is no need to keep this drama secret, after all, the novel has become a hit on the Internet.

The crew scene.

Xue Xiaolu joked, "Director Li, if there's anything wrong, you can also say cut."

"Okay, Sister Lu, I've never seen an actor say "cut". If you don't say "cut", who will dare to say "cut"?" Li Chen replied with a smile.

Xue Xiaolu smiled and said, "Let's get started. I'm also looking forward to seeing how you act."

The crew will use the seven-day National Day break to finish filming the campus scenes.

There is no need to rush to shoot the remaining scenes in Yunnan.

The first scene.

"Action" clerk board

Ke Teng (Li Chen) just entered the school.

A basketball flew over, but unfortunately Hu Kun, who played Lao Cao, was too nervous.

After all, he was going to hit the Palme d'Or director on the head with a basketball, but he didn't use enough force and missed.

Xue Xiaolu shouted "cut" directly.

Hu Kun knew his mistake and apologized quickly.

Xue Xiaolu said: "Hu Kun, relax, he is your buddy and classmate now."

Restart the computer.

Hu Kun hit it right this time, and Li Chen's head tilted. There was no need for acting at all, this kid used too much force.

He staggered from the pain.

"You don't have hands?" Hu Kun said indifferently.

next game

Several people walked into the classroom.

The camera zoomed in to show Li Chen, who had breakfast in his mouth and a novel in his hands.

Then turn to each supporting character.

The post-production dubbing should include each person’s introduction narration.

Finally, the camera slowly zooms in and focuses on the female protagonist, the top student Shen Jiayi (Liu Yifei).

Liu Yifei is wearing a white school uniform shirt.

The long black hair falls naturally on the shoulders.

Her beautiful face without any makeup is more beautiful than any other school belle.

He sat quietly in his seat, smiling, flipping through the textbook with great interest.

Like a narcissus out of this world, she formed a sharp contrast with the students around her.

Xue Xiaolu nodded secretly, thinking that Li Chen's vision in casting was still on point.

Although she has not seen Liu Yifei much, this little girl is really suitable for playing the role of school beauty and academic master.

Just play yourself, there's not much acting required.

A long shot is completed.

Next shot.

Liao Gaibi, played by Shen Teng, appears on the stage.

Shen Teng, who rubbed his crotch as he entered the classroom, does have a talent for comedy.

He got into the role very well and it seemed that he had studied the script carefully before.

As for the scene in which Teacher YY holds a pistol-shooting competition in the following class, Li Chen did not plan to include it when he was writing the script.

Unless you don't want to go through the review.

The top student Liu Yifei was called out by the teacher, and the poor student Li Chen was thrown to him.

Let Li Chen sit in front of Liu Yifei, and Li Chen became Liu Yifei's one-on-one poverty alleviation target.

Li Chen sat in front of Liu Yifei, with a look of disgust on his face, muttering: "It's unlucky to be transferred to such a crappy place, unlucky!"

Liu Yifei said: "Who is unlucky? Sit in front of me, don't do any childish tricks and cause me trouble."

"Click!" Xue Xiaolu shouted.

Li Chen didn’t know what was going on. He felt that his acting was fine.

Liu Yifei felt a little uneasy, and had a feeling that something was wrong with her.

Xue Xiaolu said: "Yifei, your line is not good. I don't hear any disgust in you."

"And there was no sign of annoyance on his face."

"You now feel disgust and disdain for Ke Teng. I can hear your impatience and disgust in your tone!"

"Instead of reciting lines!"

Li Chen felt a little helpless. He had his back to Miss Liu and didn't know how Miss Liu was acting.

Xue Xiaolu's style is that once she enters the director's state, she won't care about your face.

Liu Yifei pursed her lips and nodded humbly, "Teacher Xue, I understand. Let's do it again."

Li Chen turned around and whispered to comfort her: "Just think of me as the annoying dog Song in the circle."

Liu Yifei felt warm in her heart. She wanted to laugh but felt it was inappropriate, so she nodded slightly.

The next day, a piece of gossip about the election for Olympic chief director caused heated discussion.

Even the opening interviews of those years could not hide the popularity of this news.

This was the first time that Li Chen had his headlines snatched away by others.

This person is none other than another Palme d'Or winner.

"Director Chen Kaige was eliminated in the first round of the Olympic chief director election due to his carelessness?"

The eye-catching headline attracted attention, and the whistleblower claimed that Chen Kaige was in high spirits during the campaign that day.

He improvised a poem in front of a group of judges, looking completely self-indulgent, and his eyes seemed to be treating the judges in front of him as elementary school students.

But the judges didn't buy it.

Most people on the Internet believed it because the description was so detailed.

"The premiere of The Promise is imminent, and the Olympic Committee has given Director Chen a wake-up call!"

"It seems that the Palme d'Or is not omnipotent. I just don't know what Zhang Yimou will do."

"The person above, Zhang Yimou is going to win. I think Director Chen will vomit three liters of blood. And the Palme d'Or is also divided among different people."

The crew was also discussing this matter during those years.

During the lunch break, Xue Xiaolu smiled and said, "Li Chen, do you think this is true or false?"

"It's probably true. Reciting a poem is definitely in line with Director Chen's personality. The person who leaked the information seemed to be at the scene." Li Chen replied.

This is of course true, but Li Chen can only pretend not to know at this time.

"If you had gone, perhaps the result would have been different." Xue Xiaolu said.

"Sister Lu, how come you are as boring as the netizens? Don't say this again. I went there and got the same result as Director Chen." Li Chen said with a wry smile.

So many people were looking at him. If Li Chen were to disparage the poet in front of everyone today, there would probably be countless versions of the story spread by people with ulterior motives.

Xue Xiaolu and Li Chen, one is a teacher at Beijing Film Academy and the other is a Palme d'Or director.

Only the two of them could comment on this kind of topic.

The actors in the crew could only stare and listen with relish, not being able to say a word.

At this moment, the other Palme d'Or winner was so furious that his body was jumping up and down.

Like a bull in heat, he keeps swaying back and forth in front of his wife.

"One was the one who carried the camera for me back then, and the other was just a kid with good luck."

"What do those people know? What do they know about being a director? What qualifications do they have to be judges?"

"Okay, these people on the Internet are just joining in the fun, and the results haven't been announced yet."

"It doesn't matter if we don't get selected. We don't care if we don't want to do this thankless job."

The poet heard his wife say this, looked at her still pretty face, and the anger in his heart seemed to dissipate a little.
