Chapter 120: Is he a gold medalist?
Li Chen’s decision to go to the Academy Awards has aroused heated discussion on the Internet.
This year’s Academy Awards have made this year’s Academy Awards even more topical.
Wen Jun also raised a glass from a distance in Hong Kong Island: Welcome director Li Chen to the Academy Awards.
Many female stars have left messages on Yang Siwei’s blog.
"Sisi, if your boss needs a female companion, I can do it."
"栤椤you are thinking too much, Director Li has already replied to me!"
"Sister Xun, boss The answer to you is: I don’t need it!”
“Tangtang is too much! How can you dismantle your own person!”
In addition to Li Chen’s intention to come to the Academy Awards, another Du Qifeng, a famous director whose works have been nominated, still does not change his original intention.
If you can't come, you won't come.
Wenjun, the chairman of the Academy Awards, felt very embarrassed.
Li Chen did not focus on the Academy Awards, and the domestic entertainment media did not focus on the Academy Awards either.
Instead, they all turned their attention to the upcoming audition for "Thieves".
But the Academy Awards just wanted to show off, create a topic, and even dragged Rongchen Pictures into it.
What Li Chen didn't expect the most was that Miss Liu also came to cross paths.
First, the director of "Song of Everlasting Regret" Guan Jingpeng directly stated to the media: I have long heard that the actress must be Zhou Xun
As soon as this sentence came out, it was like a bomb, causing everyone to be honest. The reporters, who were worried that they had no hard news to save the market, were in high spirits.
Now everyone knows that Li Chen is one of the award guests for Best Actress, and Zhou Xun is the most powerful competitor.
Zheng Xiuwen, who is also a competitor, is the heroine of Guan Qianpeng's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow".
Guan Jingpeng's words undoubtedly brought Zhou Xun and the Academy Awards jury to the forefront.
Reporters have called Rongchen Pictures and the Academy Awards jury about what they think of Guan Jianpeng's remarks.
Both Chairman and Vice Chairman Wen Jun and Chen Jiashang from Hong Kong Island took the initiative to speak out and clarify that there was no such thing.
On the domestic entertainment side, Yang Siwei responded with a few words.
But it didn’t quench the thirst at all. Entertainment reporters were targeting Li Chen.
Only when Li Chen spoke did the topic explode.
Entertainment reporters, like plainclothes, were hanging around downstairs at Splendid Diamond.
Li Chen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands in his pockets and looked at the people downstairs, shaking his head and smiling softly.
“It’s so pitiful, Si Si, tell someone to get them some hot water, so that they don’t get into trouble from the cold.”
“Boss, you are really big-hearted, they are blocking you. ! These are all Hong Kong trolls. I really doubt they did it on purpose. ”
Everyone knows that Rongchen Pictures is the most popular company in domestic entertainment right now.
As long as you step on it, you will be in the entertainment headlines for two days.
No one can tell whether these Hong Kong people are singing a double act.
Taking advantage of her boss’s popularity and creating a topic for the Academy Awards.
In Yang Siwei's own opinion, "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" was nothing.
There was no climax, no undercurrent, the whole drama was lighter than boiled water.
The heroine Zheng Xiuwen gave her the feeling that she was screaming hysterically from beginning to end, and her acting was not visible at all.
The most important thing is that Zheng Xiuwen, whose main job is obviously a singer, was found by the producer to be three actor-level actors as supporting actors.
That's not looking for abuse, so it's understandable that it was criticized badly when it was released.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Chen does not want to respond to Guan Jianpeng's remarks.
I heard that people were depressed when Zheng Xiuwen filmed "Song of Everlasting Sorrow".
"Song of Everlasting Sorrow" experienced both word-of-mouth and box office failure.
Zheng Xiuwen was scolded the worst.
For this reason, I gave up all my work and paid a lot of liquidated damages.
Why should you rub salt into other people’s wounds?
Yang Siwei's phone rang. As soon as it was connected, Yang Siwei became petrified within a few seconds of listening.
"Boss, Yifei seems to be participating in the Academy Awards too?" Yang Siwei said in disbelief.
"What nonsense! Didn't I know that she was going to participate in the Academy Awards?"
"No, it's true, look!" Yang Siwei handed the phone to Li Chen.
At first glance, it is the star list of the 25th Academy Awards reported by Hong Kong media.
Mainland celebrities except Shuang Zhen, Zhang Ziyi, Mei Ting, Zhou Xun and others.
The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the three characters Liu Yifei.
Without saying anything, Li Chen picked up the phone and dialed Miss Liu.
As soon as the call was connected, Ms. Liu seemed to know that Li Chen would call.
Smiled and said: "Are you surprised? I'm here to keep you company, so you don't have to fight alone!"
It seemed true. Li Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Why did you suddenly decide to go to the Academy Awards?"
This is so unlike Miss Liu's style. She doesn't like to hype or make trouble. .
I don’t work on weekdays. Most of my time is spent petting cats, walking dogs, or reading novels and scripts.
How could I agree to go to any Academy Awards?
This year’s Academy Awards organizing committee is trying to save the market.
We invite big-name stars and directors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, as well as all previous Academy Award winners and actresses.
Ms. Liu is now the most popular little girl in domestic entertainment, and she is also among those invited.
“It’s not because of you, otherwise I wouldn’t go. I don’t have any works, so people will inevitably talk about me if I go.”
Li Chen felt warm in his heart: “Actually, don’t you want to go? There is really no need to force yourself. They are all idiots and I don't take them seriously at all."
"I have already replied to them, so what's the use of talking about it now?" Ms. Liu. The voice changed a bit.
"Haha, okay, okay, it's better to have you by my side, so as not to be shown affection!"
"That's pretty much it. I won't tell you anymore. Take the initiative to call me tonight and be more conscious!" ”
Li Chen smiled and hung up the phone.
Yang Siwei smiled and said: "Boss, I really didn't mean to listen."
Li Chen raised his hand to interrupt Yang Siwei: "Since Qianqian has agreed, it's just the right time to put "Those "Hong Kong Island's promotion will be held on those two days."
Yang Siwei nodded and said: "No problem, boss, "Those Years" has opened its official Sina website. Fans of the original work, Yifei, and your fans are very enthusiastic."
In fact, it is mainly fans of the original work and Yifei. Liu Yifei has too many fans.
Compared to the first two, his boss’s fans are completely negligible.
Of course, fans of the original novel can also be considered fans of his boss.
Li Chen showed the Splendid Diamond, but reporters still surrounded him.
"Director Li, Guan Jingpeng said that the Best Actress of the Academy Awards has been announced for the Academy Awards. Do you have anything to say?"
"Director Li, Liu Yifei and you have announced their participation in the Academy Awards. Just made an appointment?”
“Director Li, will you still attend this year’s Magic City International Film Festival and Baihua Film Festival?”
Li Chen’s two assistants were guarding him. Li Chen greeted in his mouth: "Everyone give way, everyone give way."
"Reply, Director Li!" The entertainment reporters' life-threatening microphones have always been inseparable.
Li Chen replied as he walked: "I have nothing to say about the Academy Awards. Mr. Wen Jun and Director Chen Jiashang have already replied."
"As for Yifei, you can ask Red Star House. I just found out about it. "
"If I have time, I will go to the Magic City Film Festival and Baihua. Thank you, please give in."
After finally getting on the bus, the entertainment reporters were disappointed. This is what I said. It’s the same as not saying anything.
It’s so different from Li Chen’s previous style.
"What should I do? I've been sitting here blind for a long time. I can't even polish these few replies from Li Chen!" an entertainment reporter said to himself.
Several colleagues looked at this new face like an idiot, and no one paid him any attention.
A group of entertainment reporters dispersed and went back to writing articles.
Li Chen’s reply went online that night.
“Li Chen never mentioned the Academy Awards, and seems to have tacitly accepted the weekly announcement of the Academy Awards.”
"Li Chen changed his sharp style from the past? The reason may be as Guan Jingpeng said."
Yang Siwei was really angry when he saw these entertainment reporters making random guesses out of thin air.
She is aware of her boss's attitude.
It’s not that she is concerned about Zheng Xiuwen’s condition. In the words of her boss: The Academy Award is not the Golden Melody Award. If the Best Actress award is given to Zheng Xiuwen, then it will be the default decision!
One sentence can shut these people up.
Yang Siwei immediately called Zhou Xun again.
"Sister Xun, don't think too much, there is a reason why the boss didn't speak up for you."
Yang Siwei relayed the exact words Li Chen told her.
Zhou Xun said with a smile on the phone: "I didn't expect that Director Li is quite a man. Don't worry, I won't think too much about it."
"Although I also want to take this I am a movie queen, but I already have a silver lion. I have a good attitude and travel lightly.”
Many people were surprised by Li Chen's reaction. Even Liu Dehua called Li Chen.
He and Zheng Xiuwen are good friends, and he is really afraid that Li Chen will involve Zheng Xiuwen because of Guan Jinpeng's remarks.
After all, Zhou Xun is now Li Chen's artist. Based on his understanding of Li Chen, it is typical to help relatives but not help others.
"This is not like your usual style, Li Chen." Liu Dehua said with a smile on the phone.
"Forget it, if I really open my mouth, Brother Hua, your friend will inevitably suffer disaster. She is miserable enough." Liu Dehua was stunned, but he did not expect that Li Chen would actually consider this reason.
After two or three seconds of silence, Liu Dehua sighed: "I would like to thank you on her behalf."
"She is indeed not well. She is locked up at home alone, and no one can call her." Don't go out."
Li Chen said with a smile: "Thank you, I just didn't say anything! In fact, Brother Hua, you can tell her that there is no need to do this."
"The failure of a film. , the biggest responsibility lies with the producer and director.”
"You force her to play a role that she is not suitable for at all. She doesn't choose the script herself, and the co-stars are all talented people."
"Isn't that destroying people!"
Liu Dehua responded with a wry smile, Li Chen was right.
But after Sammi heard what Li Chen said, her nervousness would probably be relieved.
That afternoon, Liu Dehua forced Zheng Xiuwen to ask him out for afternoon tea.
I spent a whole afternoon ignoring the paparazzi's arrangements, just trying to help my friend get rid of his inner demons as soon as possible.
“He really said that?” Zheng Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief.
When she saw Guan Jianpeng's words, she was really afraid that someone from the mainland would be ruthless and judge her acting skills in "Song of Everlasting Regret" again.
Given Li Chen’s current status and momentum in the industry, if you really criticize her, it will be like a conclusion to the negative comments on the Internet.
She was actually scared to death for the past two days, and she was always in a high state of nervousness.
Unexpectedly, Andy would ask her out today to give her some reassurance.
"Sammi, how could I lie to you? If you don't believe me, I will introduce you to each other during the Academy Awards and you can ask him face to face." Liu Dehua said with a smile.
"It's not that I don't believe you. It's rumored that he is young and never shows mercy. I didn't expect to let me go this time!"
Zheng Xiuwen's face was still as pale as paper and he took the photo. No one knows how much suffering "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" suffered.
She is already thin, and just losing weight is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Liu Dehua added: "Li Chen is a sensible person. He knows about the discord between Yang Sheng and Xiang Sheng." Uncertain. "
Liu Dehua also admired Li Chen's sophistication, and he could see through the mystery behind it at a glance.
"Song of Everlasting Regret" is produced by Yinghuang. The chairman of the Academy Awards, Wen Jun, and Wang Jing are good friends, and they are both considered to be Xiang Sheng's people.
Zheng Xiuwen is just cannon fodder, no one cares about her life or death.
The box office of "囧囧" is fixed at 278 million, which is a very enviable number.
You know, the cost of "囧囧" was just over 20 million.
The celebration banquet of "囧 in Thailand" was held at Kempinski.
Countless celebrities and film and television company executives were present that night.
Whether it is for the sake of Li Chen and Wang Changtian, or for Xu Zheng, who is the new director of the 200 million club, there is no reason for them not to come.
Xu Zheng is the absolute protagonist tonight, and his wife Tao Hong is also wearing a gorgeous red evening dress.
Li Chen and Wang Changtian chatted while holding wine glasses.
“Brother, do you feel sad to see him taking advantage of this kind of situation?” Wang Changtian said with a smile.
Li Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Changtian and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you want to ask me if I care about Xu Zheng being recruited?"
Wang Changtian paused and said with a smile. : "No need to ask, I'll know just by looking at you."
Li Chen turned to look at Xu Zheng, but Xu Zheng led the two of them towards Wang Changtian and him.
Li Chen was so funny that he didn't pay attention to when these two people came.
It seems that Xu Zheng invited it himself.
"Director Wang, Director Li, let me introduce a friend to you two."
Xu Zheng, dressed in a black suit, with a shiny head and bright eyes, pointed at the two people beside him.
There was a man and a woman, and Li Chen recognized the woman as Jing Tian at a glance.
A pair of big black eyes stared at Li Chen curiously.
"This is Lu Zheng from Starlight Film and Television, Mr. Lu."
Xu Zheng was about to introduce Wang Changtian and Li Chen.
Lu Zheng waved his hand and said: "No need to introduce Director Xu. If I don't know Director Wang and Director Li, how can I be embarrassed to hang out in the film and television industry."
Lu Zheng took the initiative to extend his hand to Li Chen and said: "Lu Zheng."
Li Chen also stretched out his right hand and also said only two words: "Li Chen."
Lu Zheng Hand Jin It's quite big, he must have been in the military, and there are calluses on the tiger's mouth.
Lu Zheng shook hands with Wang Changtian again, then pointed at Jingtian beside him and smiled.
"This is Jingtian, an artist from our company. Please take care of me in the future."
The round-faced Jingtian did not look fat. He stretched out his hands with some excitement and introduced himself: "Director Li, hello, I am Jingtian. You can just call me Tiantian."
Li Chen shook hands with her He moved his hands, but to his surprise, Jingtian's palms were wet. It seemed that he was too nervous.
“Finally we meet a heroine who can make our Director Xu not do his job properly.” Li Chen said with a smile.
Jingtian's face turned red, and Lu Zheng came to the rescue and said, "Director Li is joking. They are all spread on the Internet. Director Xu is not easy to invite."
This is Li Chen's first time. Get to know Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng gave him the feeling of confidence, so confident that he was arrogant.
The first time they met, they asked Li Chen and Wang Changtian to take care of Jingtian, but the tone of their words gave people an unquestionable flavor.
It feels very similar to talking to Han Sanping.
"I saw the casting conditions for the female lead in Director Li's "Thieves" a while ago. If Tian Tian didn't have a martial arts background, I would really recommend Tian Tian to give it a try." Lu Zheng said with a smile.
Xu Zheng also smiled and said: "Yes, Mr. Lu told me about this matter and asked me to help. I said no one can do what Director Li does."
Li Chen frowned slightly. Could it be that these two "arguments" were playing a double act and asking for a role?
It’s okay if Lu Zheng doesn’t know the inside story. Doesn’t Xu Zheng know what’s going on with Liu Yifei and him?
Even without Miss Liu, I would not have been able to give it to Jingtian.
Jing Tian is now a pure vegetarian, so he won the first female lead in "Thieves" as soon as he debuted.
I’m afraid Li Chen’s rumored girlfriend will be replaced soon.
"It seems that Mr. Lu is not just targeting the music scene. He is looking for Director Xu because he is not interested in drinking." Wang Changtian said pointedly.
Wang Changtian doesn’t need to say anything, Li Chen also knows everything.
I'm afraid Jingtian's debut film "Anaconda" will start filming this year, and maybe it's already being prepared.
Lu Zheng smiled without hiding anything: "Wang Dong is right, my plan for Tiantian is to develop film, television and music, and the MV is just a springboard."
Li Chen watched it Jingtian looked aside and gave a kind reminder: "Mr. Lu, it's better not to take too big a step. It's not a good thing in the long run for newcomers to overthrow the seedlings."
"Hahaha, Director Li's kindness is appreciated." Lu Zheng laughed.
Many people were attracted by Lu Zheng’s laughter.
They all looked towards Li Chen, wondering who this girl was and who Lu Zheng was. She seemed to be very familiar with Director Li.
"Tao, who are the two people next to Director Xu?" Yin Xiaotian said.
Weng Hong also looked at Tao Hong curiously.
Tao Hong didn't hide anything, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, the boss of Starlight Film and Television, and his company's artist Jing Tian, it was Lao Xu they found to shoot the MV."
"That's it, Tao, Your husband is now a great director and has good roles, so don’t forget your old classmates!" Yin Xiaotian said with a smile.
Tao Hong heard these words no less than twenty times one night.
She finally realized what it means for one person to achieve enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Many people used to call her by her first name, but now they call her Sister Hong when they meet!
It used to be that everyone who called her husband was your old Xu, but now they are all called Director Xu.
Only you can call yourself Lao Xu.
Yin Xiaotian took the initiative to approach Li Chentou just now.
Li Chen didn't like him very much.
The celebration banquet was over, and Xu Zheng thanked Li Chen passionately at the celebration banquet.
He said that without Director Li’s appreciation, there would be no Director Xu today.
No one would give him a thumbs up for what he said.
A black Mercedes-Benz was driving in the night of Beijing.
"Uncle Lu, I feel like Director Li doesn't like me very much?"
"It doesn't matter, Tiantian, without Butcher Zhang, why don't we eat pigs with hair on them?" Lu Zheng said confidently .
He also saw Li Chen's attitude towards Jingtian. He couldn't say he didn't like it, but he didn't deliberately get close to him either.
Tian Tian has always been called Miss Jing, and the sense of distance is obvious.
Neither Li Chen nor Wang Changtian took Jingtian and Lu Zheng seriously.
As the saying goes, good words can never persuade a damned ghost. Since Lu Zheng can't listen to Li Chen's words, let him do what he wants.
There are more and more tidbits about the Academy Awards, and the Oscars will soon reveal the answer.
But all this can hardly steal the popularity of the "Thieves" audition.
Starting at nine o'clock in the morning, there are countless luxury cars downstairs at Splendid Diamond.
Big-name celebrities take luxury cars, while unknown artists take taxis.
Entertainment reporters have been squatting downstairs at Splendid Diamond for a long time.
