International online report reprinted from New York Daily News
"Yesterday, Li Chen, the largest shareholder of Chiyou Pictures and the founder of Rongchen Pictures, and the "Korean Wave Godmother" Li Meijing, the founder of CJ Entertainment, established a new company RC Entertainment in Seoul. "
" Local media in Seoul and many Chinese media called the "Double Lee" combination the most powerful alliance in Southeast Asia. "
"At the press conference, Li Chen was very optimistic about the prospects of RC Entertainment and made bold remarks. "My Love from the Star" beats South Korea's three major TV stations MBC's 14-drama package next year. ”
Li Chen's every move now will attract the attention of several mainstream media in Europe and the United States.
New York
Warner Bros. Headquarters
Richard, the vice president responsible for connecting with Chi You and Rong Chen Pictures, was recalled to the headquarters by President Parsons.
In the office, two foreigners sat on the sofa with their legs crossed and talked about Li Chen who was far away in South Korea.
"The Chinese people's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Is it time to set foot in Europe next? What do you think of Li Chen?"
Richard and Li Chen have been working together for a long time and have done something to Li Chen. After in-depth research, after all, the other party is Warner's most important overseas partner today.
Richard smiled and said: "Parsons, from the first moment I saw him at China Film Academy, I knew he was no ordinary person."
"His goal is global !”
Parsons nodded. As the head of Warner, he can naturally see Li Chen’s ambition.
"Richard, Rongchen Pictures is his trump card, but it's a pity that we haven't been able to join in."
"At present, once "Breaking Dawn" is over, Chi You will only have "The Hunger Games" No one can guarantee whether this IP will be as good as the "Twilight" series."
"I now understand why he did it in the first place. He easily agreed to our investment in Chiyou.”
“Although we entered the door, he got the key to the North American market. Although it was a win-win situation, I always felt that we suffered a loss.”
Richard is the biggest promoter of cooperation between the two parties, and naturally he does not want to see his immediate boss's attitude towards Li Chen change in a bad direction.
"Parsons, no matter what, the group's profits in the past two years have been considerable from Chiyou and Warner Music Greater China. You can't deny this."
Parsons laughed: " Yes, they say Chinese people are smart. He is indeed a smart person and understands how everyone can make money."
"Otherwise, why would we spend so much effort. Go and support him.”
“The task you take over is to keep in touch with him and urge the development of new projects on Chiyou’s side. We cannot let Chiyou and New Line become just the distributors of Rongchen Pictures in North America. Fang!”
“You understand this, and you must let Li Chen understand it. This is the basis for our cooperation!”
Richard left the headquarters. In the past few days, Richard arranged for Lao Mouzi to take Nini and others to meet with Oscar judges and attend various events to increase the popularity and exposure of "Thirteen Hairpins".
Everyone, including Lao Mouzi, was so tired that he vomited blood.
It only took less than half a month for Nini to go from excitement at first to exhaustion and now numbness.
For more than half a month, I have been attending parties non-stop, appearing on TV shows, and participating in various film festivals to impress myself.
Every day I have to face no less than ten foreign judges of all kinds who basically look the same.
She has lost count of how many people she has met. She believes that not only she can't remember, but Tong Dawei, who has the best memory in the entire crew, can't remember either.
The most important thing is that this day-to-day process will continue until the end of next month.
Even Zhang Yimou can’t laugh now.
"Teacher, is this the way to win an Oscar?" In the restaurant of the LaCrosse Hotel in Beverly Hills, Nini's question made Lao Mouzi put down his knife and fork, losing all appetite for the delicious breakfast.
When he was in the new screen, he had tried several times to compete in the Olympics, but this time he was never impressed by it.
Tong Dawei on the side saw that Lao Mouzi was too tired to speak, so he took the initiative to answer for Lao Mouzi: "Little girl, where are you?"
"There are more than 10,000 Oscar judges who have no water. If it weren’t for Director Zhang, we probably wouldn’t even know who the judges are.”
Zhang Yimou curled his lips in embarrassment: “It’s Li Chen’s fault. , Don’t be listless in front of Warner people.”
Nini flattened her mouth: “I understand.”
Tong Dawei is a man, with good physical strength and good spirit. He said with a smile: "You and I should be happy to have the honor of being gilded in Director Zhang's film, and to be able to fully experience the fun of competing for an Oscar."
"I heard that Warner's budget for this public relations project is probably tens of millions of dollars."
These words cheered up both Lao Mouzi and Nini.
The former turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window and focused solely on the movie.
Because the latter is a woman and young, she is protected by everyone on the set.
Only Tong Dawei sees all directions and hears all directions.
"Where did you hear that? Ten million US dollars?"
Tong Dawei smiled and said: "I overheard the conversation between Richard and Tim yesterday."
"Li Chad said it himself. "
Richard and Tim took credit last night. Warner contributed so much money and efforts, not for "Thirteen Girls", but for Li Chen.
I hope Chi You will step up the development of new projects. Now that Chi You has sufficient funds, there will not only be one "Hunger Games" next year, but "The Revenant" bought from Warner Bros. will also be launched.
As soon as Tong Dawei said this, Lao Mouzi and his apprentice half believed it.
Nini secretly smacked her tongue, how many "Thirteen Hairpins" would she have to star in for a public relations fee of 10 million US dollars.
However, this also made the master and apprentice have doubts about "Thirteen Hairpins" I feel more confident about going to the Olympics.
"Director Li really has face, hahaha" Nini felt indescribable envy in her heart.
Lao Mouzi also nodded and said: "Li Chen is deeply rooted in North America and cannot be matched by anyone in the country."
Nini smiled sweetly: "Teacher, you can't belittle yourself. You are an honorary doctorate from Yale University, right, brother Wei!"
Tong Dawei smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, that's right, but Xiao Nizi, I told you Either you call me Brother Tong, or "Call me brother!"
Nini laughed and said, "Brother Wei is calling me cordial."
"I don't feel cordial at all."
Zhang Yimou asked the two young people. After a while, people seemed to be less tired.
At home, Han Sanping has been paying attention to the daily trends of "Thirteen Hairpins". If it were not for his identity concerns, he would have gone abroad to lead the team.
No. 502, Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. CJ Entertainment’s new location was chosen on the 9th floor of this 24-story office building.
Li Chen and his wife, Li Meijing, Yu Miao and others came to the newly established RC Entertainment headquarters.
As soon as the opening ribbon-cutting ceremony was over and the guests were sent away, only Li Chen, his wife and Yu Miao were left in the office.
Yu Miao still holds a small notebook formally. This is a habit she has developed. She is used to recording the boss's speech, whether it is useful or not.
"No need to remember it today." Li Chen smiled.
Yu Miao closed her notebook and sat upright. She knew that after today, she would be the head of RC Entertainment.
After the banquet, press conference and today's ribbon-cutting ceremony, with her boss and CJ supporting her, she was not afraid at all, but just excited to try.
“I don’t have anything to say, just one sentence, just remember it.”
“At any time, we must not weaken the name of Rongchen Pictures, and we must not lose the face of the Chinese people. Don’t damage the country’s image!”
Yu Miao recited it silently in her heart, and the three "can'ts" advanced one by one, like a loud drum and a heavy mallet beating in her heart.
She knows that even if RC Entertainment loses money, it cannot lose its reputation. Abroad, she represents not only her and RC Entertainment.
He is also the spokesperson of the boss and even the face of the boss.
She nodded silently and wrote down: "I've written it down, boss." "Okay, Sissi and I will leave tomorrow, so you don't have to send it off."
"How can that work?"
"How can it not work? You are now the president of CJ Entertainment. I am still waiting to watch "My Love from the Star"!" Liu Yifei said with a smile.
"Well, then, give me a call anytime. In addition to the boss, I am also open 24 hours a day for you." Yu Miao said intimately, holding Liu Yifei's arm.
Working in Rongchen Pictures, the top management all know that surrounding the boss lady can save their lives at critical moments.
If one day she makes a mistake, it is better to ask her boss to save the country.
She learned this from Yang Siwei.
Yu Miao put the two of them in the car and watched the car out of sight before turning back to RC Entertainment.
"Director Li, why do you want to enter the entertainment industry? I think you have the potential to do political work. Three "can'ts" are said to be majestic." Liu Yifei held her husband's arm and sat in the back seat of the car. smiled.
She grew up in a family and had met many officials. She felt that the three "can'ts" her husband said at that moment were not words that could be said by someone who was in the entertainment industry.
It is exactly the language commonly used by dad’s leaders.
Li Chen also smiled and turned to look at his beloved wife: "If I join politics, there are only two results, and I'm afraid you won't be able to accept either one."
Liu Yifei blinked her charming big eyes and asked. Said: "Where "Two?"
"One is to support you, and the other is that you step out of the circle and support your husband and raise your children from now on." I couldn't help but smile.
"What, what I said is wrong?" Li Chen also smiled.
Liu Yifei nodded seriously: "It seems true."
"So you entered the entertainment industry for me?" Liu Yifei said proudly.
A pair of wonderful eyes stared at Li Chen, as if Li Chen would fight with fists and kicks if he didn't answer correctly.
Li Chen took a breath, Miss Liu’s logic is perfect!
Even though my original intention of entering the entertainment industry was not for her, I was immediately captured after a startling glance at the school gate.
"Smart! Suddenly I feel so bad."
"Suffering?" Miss Liu had already put her little hand on Li Chen's waist.
Li Chen chuckled and said: "That's right! You entered the entertainment industry for Hepburn, not for me!"
It turned out that this was the one who suffered the loss. Miss Liu smiled and nodded: "Poor Director Li."
After that, he whispered in her husband's ear: "Tell you a secret."
"I only entered the industry for her, but I can quit it for you."
Li Chen felt suffocated, unable to believe that this was said by his wife.
I didn’t expect that when my wife talked about love, she was in the same position as him.
Li Chen glanced at his beloved wife with a smile. Miss Liu's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her beautiful eyes were full of affection.
Li Chen leaned forward, Miss Liu closed her eyes, and the couple started kissing passionately in the car as if there was no one else around.
The advantage of luxury cars is that they are airtight and confidential.
I accompanied Ms. Liu to promote in Japan and South Korea for nearly ten days.
Daily photos and reports about "The Hunger Games" have dominated entertainment headlines in North America and China for days.
There is Tim in North America and Yang Siwei in China. Both of them know that the boss's wife's affairs are a top priority.
The moment the plane took off, Ms. Liu sighed: "I'm so busy that I don't even have time to go to Jeju Island and Mount Fuji."
Li Chen immediately replied: "A desert island and a volcano are worth visiting."
""Vientiane Island" was filmed in Guangxi. Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, a hundred times better than any other island or mountain. Then I’ll take a good look at it with you.”
Ms. Liu said softly, very satisfied with her husband’s attitude.
At the same time, "Breaking Dawn" was launched in 4,125 theaters in North America.
As the final chapter of a popular novel series, both Chi You and Warner attach great importance to it.
As soon as the first-day box office came out, both Warner and Chiyou were overjoyed.
Tim laughed heartily and said in front of Richard and Zhang Yimou: "Richard, even though Chi You only makes one or two movies a year, one movie can be as good as ten B movies." Category production, three Category A productions!”
Richard was also happy. Although Tim’s words were a stab at him, Richard De smiled nonchalantly: "Yes, yes, Li Chen still has a unique vision!"
"Hahaha, of course, without the boss, I, Tim Smith, would not be where I am today."
< br>Zhang Yimou was listening to two foreigners talking in broken Chinese, and he felt a little embarrassed no matter how he listened.
But the first-day box office of "Breaking Dawn" was indeed exaggerated.
China learned the news later. "The Legend of Zhen Huan" premiered on the 17th, and "Breaking Dawn" premiered on the 16th.
However, due to the time difference, when "The Legend of Zhen Huan" premiered, it was only four or five o'clock in the morning on the 17th in North America.
The next day, two pieces of news were featured on the front pages of portal websites, shocking the industry.
China News Service, Los Angeles, November 18
""The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 2)" was released in 4,125 theaters in North America on Friday. It took in $74.5 million at the box office on its first day, easily taking away from "Skyfall" without any suspense. Weekly champion Throne."
"This result not only broke the US$71.6 million of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 1)", but also exceeded the US$72.7 million of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon". Created the first film history Four high first-day box office results. "
"The film received an "A+" CinemaScore, with the main audience being young people under the age of 25, and the film received a rating on the Rotten Tomatoes website. Not ideal, only 51% freshness, the future is worth paying attention to. "
Sina Entertainment News
"The premiere ratings of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" are soaring!"
"The 76-episode large-scale costume drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan" produced by Rongchen Pictures, directed by Kong Sheng, starring Sun Li, Cai Shaofen, and Jiang Xin, premiered yesterday on Zhejiang Satellite TV."
"According to Zhejiang Satellite TV revealed that the show had garnered 3.8% of the ratings since its launch. Ratings, firmly ranked first among all major TV stations in the same time period, second only to "Meng Hua Lu" broadcast last year."
Rongchen Pictures has become popular both at home and abroad, and "Under the Dawn" has become a box office hit! To the human eye, the ratings of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" are equally enviable to others.
Wang Zhonglei lost his temper again.
In President Huayi’s office, employees can hear Wang Zhonglei’s roar through the door!
"Stupid pig! A bunch of trash! Get out! Get out of here!" Wang Zhonglei angrily grabbed the documents on the table and threw them at the three directors standing in front of his desk.
The three directors walked out the door dejectedly, and bumped into Wang Zhongjun as they walked out.
"Director Wang."
"Director Wang."
The three of them greeted Wang Zhongjun with unlucky looks.
Wang Zhongjun nodded without saying a word.
He knew why his brother was angry.
"Under the Breaking Dawn" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" are just beginnings.
The real reason is that Alibaba’s old horse wants to reduce its holdings of Huayi’s shares.
