Chapter 616 Do you want to star in Avatar
The Beijing International Film Season was founded last year and was officially renamed from the Beijing International Film Season to the Beijing International Film Festival last month.
Although awards will not be judged, one of the five Bole winners to be awarded this year is Li Chen.
In Han Sanping's words, no matter who the remaining four are, they are the mainstays who have made great contributions to Chinese films.
Except for his age, Li Chen is incomparable to these four, and his selection as one of the Five Bole is worthy of his name.
Moreover, "Chinese Police" and "Thirteen Girls" lead the list of outstanding Chinese films going global in 2011.
None of them are inseparable from Li Chen.
Even Cannes Best Actor Li Xuejian, who won the 2011 Outstanding Contributor to Film Award for "Yang Shanzhou", has a close relationship with Li Chen.
Tong Gang called personally, directly to Liu Yifei.
"Yifei, you and Li Chen both have to come on the 23rd of next month!" Tong Gang gave Liu Yifei no room to refuse.
In fact, even if Tong Gang didn't say anything, Liu Yifei couldn't refuse.
Not to mention that the chairman of the Beijing International Film Festival is a veteran of the film academy, but the attitude of the organizing committee is equally hard for Liu Yifei to shirk.
Final appearance
"No problem, Director Tong, Li Chen and I will come together!" Liu Yifei glanced at her husband sitting next to him with a sly smile.
"Well, your family members are much more enlightened than this kid Li Chen!" Tong Gang hung up the phone after saying that.
"This film festival seems to be a little different." Miss Liu, wearing a Fauvist striped dark blue pajamas, muttered softly in Li Chen's arms.
The black hair is spread between the smooth shoulders and neck like fine silk, and the white bare feet are looming, which is really attractive.
It was rare for the two of them to enjoy their world at home, and their son was brought to her by the mother-in-law.
Li Chen hugged the fragrant Miss Liu and smiled and said: "Of course it's different. The organizer is the Film Bureau, the world's second largest film market, the talker."
"The agreement was re-signed this year. Who doesn't want to take a share of the pie? Not even the Big Six in Hollywood can refuse."
Liu Yifei suddenly said: "No wonder Director Minkoff is coming too."
"Did Minkoff call you?"
Liu Yifei smiled: "No, I heard it from Brother Chenglong. I heard online that the crew of "The Avengers" will also come?"
Li Chen said with a smile: "At most, a hawk-eye can help me. How can big names like Scarlett come all the time?"
"How do you know? Scarlett contacted you?" Liu Yifei sat up suddenly and said nervously.
The romance and marriage of this sexy Hollywood sister are like a revolving door that dazzles everyone.
When Li Chen arrived in Hollywood before, he said he would find time to get together after the Oscars.
Unfortunately, after the Oscars, Li Chen only met Merck one more time and hurried back to China to attend the premiere of "Qian Xuesen".
Li Chen shook his head and smiled: "She called me and joked that if you give her your role in "The Hunger Games", she will find time to come to China no matter how hard you squeeze it."
Liu Yifei relaxed and lay back in Li Chen's arms and said, "Okay, if you want her to come to China, I can let her go."
Li Chen couldn't see her expression, but he was not stupid. He immediately expressed his stance righteously: "How is that possible! You are my wife, she is a black widow, and I don't want to die young!"
Liu Yifei chuckled, turned around and tapped Li Chen's nose: "You know what's going on!"
As the day when the 3D broken ship sets sail again is getting closer.
Murdoch, Minkoff, Cameron and Ruth also arrived in Beijing one after another.
As soon as Cameron got off the plane, he was blocked by many media at the airport.
During the interview, the old man's emotional intelligence was also superior.
Sina Entertainment News
"Cameron serves as a visiting professor at Nortel."
"Cameron will appear at the Beijing Film Festival, and the two sequels of "Avatar" will be filmed together."
"Chinese films are first-rate. He likes the works of directors Li Chen, Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen very much."
"Yesterday, director James Cameron was not idle as soon as he arrived in Beijing. He first went to the film school to communicate with teachers and students, and then led his team to hold a press conference. His words were full of praise for Chinese films and said , “Chinese movies are first-rate. ”
Cameron is not only good at making movies, he also knows about marketing.
I heard from Yang Zi and Reba that the Nortel campus was crowded with people yesterday, and the standard screening room was so crowded that there was no room to stand.
Some students started lining up outside the standard screening room at 8 a.m.
The first assignment that Cameron assigned to his students as a visiting professor at Nortel was to watch the 3D version of "Titanic"!
Yang Ma sent an invitation, inviting Li Chen and Lao Mouzi to appear on "The Interview" with Cameron, which was quite a bit like discussing heroes over wine.
Before "Interview" was published, Mercado sent an invitation first.
To the east of the Forbidden City in the capital, there is a courtyard worth 100 million, which was photographed when Mercado came to China in his early years.
When Li Chen, his wife, and Lao Mouzi arrived, Murdoch and Deng Wendi were actually there. In addition to Cameron and his wife, there were also two foreigners.
One of them Li Chen knew was Jim Gianopulos, CEO of 21st Century Fox.
After being introduced, I found out that another person was also from Fox, John Landau, the producer of "Avatar".
Cameron was in high spirits, wearing a blue shirt with his sleeves rolled up, and his young wife was standing beside him.
No wonder Merkel asked Li Chen and Lao Mouzi to bring their families, which was equivalent to a private gathering.
"(English) Haha, welcome to my Chinese friends." Mercado stepped forward and hugged both Li Chen and Lao Mouzi.
"When you come to the capital, it's my turn to be the host, but you come to invite me instead." Li Chen said with a smile.
"Today, Director Cameron wants to meet you two top directors in China. The rest of us are supporting actors."
"This is the director of "Avatar", James Cameron."
"This is Li Chen, the founder of Chiyou Pictures and the most famous director in China." Mercado looked at Cameron and said with a hearty smile.
Cameron had a serious look on his face and spoke with care as he spoke. He stretched out his hand and said, "I've wanted to meet you for a long time. I missed it last time."
The two shook hands, and Li Chen added another sentence: "Me too, I have heard of your name for a long time."
Li Chen turned sideways and was about to introduce Lao Mouzi, but Cameron shook hands with him and then shook hands with Lao Mouzi naturally.
It turned out that the two had known each other for a long time, and they had met during the Olympics.
Deng Wendi on the side smiled and nodded to Li Chen and Lao Mouzi, then walked to Liu Yifei and held her hand intimately: "I haven't congratulated you on the box office success of "The Hunger Games" and on winning another movie." Endorsed by Bulgari”
"Thank you, Sister Deng." Liu Yifei smiled politely.
"Yifei is not only beautiful, but also has a nice voice. Director Li's vision for choosing his partner is as unique as his vision for selecting scripts." Wendi Deng smiled and raised the decibel level.
"Thank you, Ms. Deng." Li Chen naturally heard it.
As a result, Miss Liu gave him a blank look: What does it mean to win a prize? Am I not beautiful? Sound bad? Be careful, little plum!
Li Chen seemed to hear Miss Liu's inner dissatisfaction and pretended not to see it.
"Director Li is so polite. My husband still regrets missing "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games."
Mercado also smiled and said: "Yes, no one expected that the vampire series "Twilight" would have such power. Even Director Cameron said it was unbelievable."
After several people sat down at a long mahogany table, Cameron continued: "'Titanic' made a world star Jack famous. Although 'Twilight' is not as important as 'Titanic', it is also popular." Red that girl.”
"At this point, your vision is definitely world-class." Cameron stared at Li Chen with his eyes, as if he wanted to see through this magical young oriental director in front of him.
"Director Cameron has won the award. You are called the King of the World in China. "Titanic" and "Avatar" are enough to win the respect of Director Zhang and me."
The servant poured champagne for several people.
As soon as the conversation started, it basically became Cameron's one-man show, but every word of the old man seemed to be measured, with the same speaking speed, the same tone, and all of them were affirmative sentences.
The men talk about movies and the women talk about fashion.
But Deng Wendi's eyes kept drifting to the man's table.
The reason why she wants to save this game today is entirely because her husband Murdoch is very imaginative and hopes that Director Li, a gold medal screenwriter in Hollywood, can satisfy Cameron.
Because neither Murdoch nor Jim Gianopulos wants to wait another ten years.
Who knows if he will still be alive ten years later.
Cameron, the king of the world, is better than a star of the week.
The table finally got down to business, and even Liu Yifei pricked up her ears with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Lee, Director Cameron and we at Fox are going to learn from your three or four "Twilight" movies and shoot two sequels of "Avatar" together."
"Your "Inception" is incredible. In Hollywood, your scripts are hard to come by. Do you have any good suggestions?"
When producer Landao said something, both Lao Mouzi and Li Chen were surprised.
Li Chen knows what's going on with the sequel to "Avatar".
The sequel to "Avatar" in the previous life was said to be filmed together, but the script creation was so difficult that Cameron himself never thought of it. "Water" was originally expected to be released in 2014, but was directly postponed to 2022.
Fox was acquired by Disney, and "Aqua" wasn't even born yet.
But Li Chen never expected that the people in front of him would come to discuss the script with him.
If you asked him to write "The Way of Water", there would be no problem, but the third film "Fire and Ashes" was not released before he was reborn, so he couldn't write it!
Li Chen glanced at Cameron himself in surprise.
Cameron still looked serious: "Li, I personally admire your script, so Landau and the others offered to talk to you, and I readily agreed. Anyone else wouldn't be qualified."
The few foreigners sitting at the long table can be said to be the most powerful group of media and filmmakers in Hollywood.
But everyone except Cameron was smiling. In Li Chen's eyes, why couldn't he be angry at all.
It seems that it is a great honor for him to participate in the script creation of the sequel to "Avatar".
Zhang Yimou also felt the pride and arrogance in the bones of these foreigners.
His intuition told him that Li Chen might fall out.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Liu Yifei is the person who knows Li Chen best. As soon as Cameron said these words, she knew that Li Chen would definitely not have anything good to say.
As expected, Li Chen not only didn't have nice words to say, but also said them dirty words.
"Wouldn't it be a great honor for me?"
Cameron didn't seem to realize that Li Chen was speaking sarcastically. Of the people at the table, Zhang Yimou was probably the only one who heard it.
After all, Li Chen still had a smile on his face.
Mercado said nothing, but looked at Li Chen with a smile on his face.
Fox CEO Gianopulos smiled and said: "Lee, as long as you are satisfied with the price, we will definitely satisfy you with the price, and we will also truthfully write your name on the screenwriter's signature."
"It's so generous to step on the horse!" Li Chen's voice was not loud, but both Deng Wendi and Liu Yifei on the side and the translator beside him heard clearly.
The translators around Cameron were stunned, wondering whether they should translate this sentence.
Even Lao Mouzi, who lowered his head, raised his head in surprise. This was the first time he heard Li Chen say dirty words.
Still facing Fox and Cameron.
Both Liu Yifei and Deng Wendi's expressions changed.
There was a strong sense of ridicule in Li Chen's words. How could the two of them not hear it?
The translator glanced at Deng Wendi, who shook her head slightly and quickly got up and came out to smooth things over.
"After chatting for so long, everyone must be hungry."
Murdoch could not understand Chinese, but Deng Wendi suddenly came out to smooth things over and gave him a wink, which made the cunning Murdoch smile cooperatively: "When you said it, I was really a little hungry."
The smile on Li Chen's face gradually disappeared, and he stood up and said, "No, Ms. Deng, it's getting late and we should leave."
Liu Yifei had already stood up and walked to Li Chen.
Lao Mouzi stood up and said with a smile: "It's indeed a little early, so we won't bother you."
Several foreigners looked at each other, chatting just fine, why did these two Chinese directors suddenly want to leave.
Gianopulos still wanted to stay, but was stopped by Murdoch's eyes.
Cameron was even more confused as to why he left before he even said the script.
Deng Wendi's mind was spinning very fast. Seeing that she couldn't keep a few people, she immediately smiled and said: "It's okay, the days are long. Yifei, you also know the way. My sister has been in China recently. If you have nothing to do, come to my sister's house to play, but you definitely don't Time.”
Liu Yifei held Li Chen's arm and said with a smile: "I will definitely come when I have time, Sister Deng."
They said goodbye to each other, but Liu Yifei kept holding Li Chen's arm, for fear that her husband would say something unpleasant again.
Today was the first time she had seen her husband speak in such a tone, and he also used dirty words for the first time.
But she didn't know why, but she felt that her husband's dirty words were very tasteful.
There is an indescribable arrogance in it.
After getting in the car, Liu Yifei couldn't help but said angrily: "As soon as Director Cameron finished speaking, I knew you had nothing nice to say, but I didn't expect you to curse."
Lao Mouzi said with a smile: "Yifei, you don't understand."
Liu Yifei tilted her head and looked at Zhang Yimou curiously, waiting for his explanation.
Zhang Yimou glanced at Li Chen, who looked calm, and then said: "Li Chen wasn't swearing just now, he was just sarcastic."
"Director Zhang is right. In the eyes of these foreigners, we are just fat sheep. If there was no big cake like the Chinese market, would Cameron still praise Chinese filmmakers like flowers?"
< br>
Li Chen sneered: "The result is obvious, their faces just now are the most real faces in Hollywood."
"It's true for Merkel, and it's true for Cameron too."
"Sissi, do you want to star in "Avatar"?"
"What?" Liu Yifei stuttered, and even Lao Mouzi couldn't react to Li Chen's big turn.
Not to mention the person involved, Ms. Liu.
Wasn't she talking about foreigners just now, so why did she suddenly ask her if she wanted to star in "Avatar"?
Li Chen smiled, grabbed Miss Liu's soft waist and said: "If you want to play Kamei's "Avatar", I will reluctantly help him perfect the script for the sequel."
"If you don't want to act, then let him stay where he feels cool."
Zhang Yimou laughed heartily when he heard this. Outsiders would never have imagined that Cameron, who was regarded as a god in the eyes of many college students and artists in the industry, would be nicknamed Kamei by Li Chen, and he was completely dismissive of it.
It seems that Yifei's wishes come first.
Liu Yifei's heart seemed to have melted, her pretty face was like melting ice and snow, and she was so beautiful.
He took the initiative to hold Li Chen's big hand and smiled softly: "Can you do the movie directed by Cameron? Who do you think you are?"
"Give it back! Brother Chen, how many good sisters do you have?"
Li Chen laughed loudly, glanced at Lao Mouzi and joked: "Don't talk about Cameron, as long as you want to be in Director Zhang's film, I can only break my promise and get fat!"
Liu Yifei turned her beautiful eyes and joked: "Director Zhang, you were deceived by Xiao Lizi. He said at the beginning that he would not interfere with your creation."
Lao Mouzi couldn't help but smile, sighing in his heart that it was great to be young.
Ms. Liu's attitude is already very clear. It seems that Cameron's attraction is to kill both men and women.
That night, Miss Liu used all kinds of martial arts skills to get the right words from Xiao Lizi's mouth.
The next day, Liu Yifei looked radiant and made an appointment with Yang Siwei to watch "Chun Jiao and Zhiming" in which Liu Shishi was the substitute.
"What are you so happy about, boss lady?" From the moment Yang Siwei received the boss lady, he felt that today's boss lady looked pretty, and secretly thought that the boss must have worked hard last night.
"Your boss promised to fool his card girl for me!"
"Kamei?" Yang Siwei glanced at Liu Yifei with confusion while driving.
But Liu Yifei refused to reveal anything, only saying that she didn't know whether it would succeed or not.
In the office of China Film Group's Han Sanping, Qin Hong couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"Director Han, thanks to you this time."
"It has nothing to do with me. It's Li Chen's own decision. It's not easy for you either. Lu Chuan originally issued a military order to complete the filming in four months, but it ended up taking eight months. That's you. If you were placed with other investors, it would probably be too early. Just flip the table.”
The joy on Qin Hong's face disappeared, leaving him with a bitter smile.
He actually wanted to turn the table over, and he had already posted an outrage on Weibo.
The problem is that he has been trapped. If he lifts the table, he will be taken advantage of.
"No matter what, I still have to thank Director Han, and I will also thank Director Li in person."
Qin Hong was a little surprised that the person from Rongchen Pictures was really generous enough to disagree with "The King's Feast".
After all, Lu Manman had a brain convulsion and gave Li Chen eye drops on Weibo some time ago.
After finishing "The King's Feast", Qin Hong vowed never to take the long road again.
It was so torturous. When "The King's Feast" started filming, Sha Yi was still single. When it was finished, Sha Yi was already happy to be a father.
Which investor can stand the torture of Lu Manman.
Qin Hong now only hopes that the gods and Buddhas will protect him and prevent anything from happening again.
Lu Tairou is also very satisfied now, just waiting for "The King's Feast" to get his household registration.
He wanted to let the insiders and Li Rengang, who was ignorant at the time, see what the gap was.
