Chapter 139 It will be yours sooner or later
With the popularity of "Those Years", Liu Yifei's salary and endorsement fees have also increased.
5 million Chevrolet endorsement fee and now 240 million box office bonus.
No one doubts that Liu Yifei’s popularity will rise to the top ranks in a short time.
Needless to say the reason, Li Chen alone is enough.
At the same time, the combined power of fans of the original best-selling novel and fans of popular Hua Dan has once again impressed investors in the industry.
The last time it was Baodao Xiaotianwang's "Initial D", this time it was Liu Yifei, a mainland Chinese actress and the number one blogger fan.
Yang Siwei was very tired at this time.
We must monitor online reviews and guide the direction of public opinion.
I also have to take care of various dinner parties with a bunch of celebrity friends.
Who asked people to work hard to promote "Those Years" for you?
After more than half a month, Yang Siwei has not lost any weight at all.
On the contrary, I have to buy new clothes, and I have to change to XXL.
"The modern historical masterpiece "Crossing Guandong" invested by China Film and Rongchen Pictures has obtained the TV series screening license yesterday."
""Crossing Guandong" will be released on June 10 On the 5th, it will be broadcast on CCTV’s prime time slot.”
""Ip Man" directed by Ning Hao has completed all post-production and has been submitted to the General Administration for review."
"Parents' Love" and "The Age of Steel" (starring Ding Yongdai) produced by Donghua Noon Sunshine The drama has been completed recently. "
"Wuyusen confirmed that Lin Chiling will play the role of Xiao Qiao and Chow Yun-fat will play the couple."
"Lin Xinru will play the blind girl and have a kissing scene with Huo Jianhua. Shooting took seven hours.”
“The cast of “Mulan” was confirmed in June, but Tang Jili denied inviting Zhang Ziyi.”
"Relevant personnel broke the news that Tang Jili was interested in Liu Yifei, and his rumored girlfriend Lin Xinru protested: He didn't ask me at all!"
Yang Siwei glanced at all kinds of entertainment news on the Internet.
The last one made Yang Siwei suddenly open his eyes.
"Mulan"? Yifei?
Why has Yifei never mentioned what happened at that time?
Yang Siwei didn't dare to delay. No matter how small Yifei's matter was, it was still a big deal.
She doesn’t want to hear the boss’s words “How do you do things!” again?
It’s too permeating!
Yang Sisi got up and walked quickly towards the boss's office.
In Li Chen’s office, a man and a woman were both emotionally moved.
Liu Yifei's face was rosy and her lips were numb.
It feels like Li Chen’s big hands are getting more and more dishonest.
From bottom to top, step by step, he reached into his white T-shirt.
Liu Yifei pushed Li Chen away hard, her heartbeat quickened and her breathing quickened: "Yes, someone is coming!"
Li Chen smiled and wiped his lips, like a flower picker who had eaten and drank. thief.
"This is my office. No one will break in without my permission."
Li Chen stepped forward and hugged Miss Liu's waist again.
Miss Liu put her hands on Li Chen's chest to stop him from taking advantage of her: "Okay, okay, stop making trouble, we'll talk about it when we go back tonight."
"What else can you say?" Li Chen deliberately teased the person in his arms.
The two were flirting when there was a knock on the door.
Liu Yifei quickly pushed Li Chen away and straightened her somewhat scattered hair.
“Come in!”
As soon as Yang Siwei came in, he saw Yifei’s face flushed.
The boss’s eyes were cold.
Yang Siwei was excited: "Boss, how about I come back later and you and Yifei get busy first!"
After that, turn around and go out!
Liu Yifei punched Li Chen angrily.
Hurry forward and stop Yang Siwei: "What are you busy with? I just want to say a few words. We are talking about work, so I will leave first."
Li Chen walked to the sofa and sat down. Next, I poured myself a cup of tea.
"Bye bye, Yifei, I'm actually looking for you." Yang Siwei said quickly.
Li Chen glanced at Yang Siwei: "What's the matter? Sit down and talk."
Liu Yifei held Yang Siwei's arm, and the two sat across from Li Chen.
"What do you want from me? Tell me." Liu Yifei smiled.
"Did Tang Jili contact your Red Star House?"
Liu Yifei had no idea and shook her head: "No, who did you listen to?"
< br>
Yang Siwei reacted quickly: "Then I understand. It's probably Tang Jili who saw your popularity now and took the opportunity to hype it up."
Li Chen asked back: "Gossip on the Internet?"
Yang Siwei nodded and said: "Boss, Tang Jili came forward to deny Zhang Ziyi, who has been the subject of much speculation."
"Someone broke the news that he has chosen Yifei to play Mulan."
Liu Yifei's heart moved, and the joy on her face was undisguised.
Recently, Red Star House has received many film offers, but Li Chen rejected them all.
Half of them are youth films.
Tang Jili's "Mulan" has been hyped for several months, so of course she is paying attention.
Not only did she pay attention, she also thought about it.
But it was Zhang Ziyi who had been widely rumored before.
Compared with Zhang Ziyi, she is also self-aware.
Unexpectedly, now that things have turned around, even a piece of gossip can make her feel happy.
Liu Yifei turned to look at Li Chen.
"Don't look at me like that! Want to play "Mulan"?" Li Chen said with a smile.
Liu Yifei nodded pitifully.
Yang Siwei lowered his head and smiled to himself. Yifei's acting skills only need to be faced with the boss.
That means that if you say a queen, you will be a queen, and if you say a girl, you will be a girl. It is ever-changing, just to control the boss.
Li Chen chuckled and said: "Don't act with me, all your acting skills are on me, it's useless!"
"Besides, it's not about thinking, that's Tang Jili's I'm hyping up and haven't even contacted your Red Star House. What are you so excited about?"
Liu Yifei stood up and walked around the tea table, sat next to Li Chen and shook his arm coquettishly: "Please help me think of a way. ! ”
Yang Siwei turned his head aside and couldn't bear to look at his boss.
She estimated that the boss would most likely surrender.
"Then how will you repay me?" Li Chen had a sullen face, holding back his laughter.
Liu Yifei whispered into his ear, and Li Chen's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Will you help or not!" Miss Liu's expression changed instantly.
"If sugar-coated bullets don't work, I'll use threats instead! Okay, I'll do this if you ask me to, and I'll help!" Li Chen said with a smile.
Yang Siwei lamented in her heart that if there was anyone in the world who could control her boss, it would be none other than Yifei.
Yang Siwei turned his head and said seriously: "Boss, do you want me to contact Tang Jili?"
"No, you don't have to worry about this matter. Sissi, don't worry about it either. I promise you that as soon as the filming of Mulan starts in the future, you will be the heroine."
Li Chen suddenly changed his attitude, leaving both Liu Yifei and Yang Siwei stunned.
Yang Siwei's mind turned quickly: "Boss, you mean there are still twists and turns in Mulan?"
Li Chen did not answer Yang Siwei directly, only said: "In addition to "Mulan" recently, there are also There is no news about Tang Jili?"
Yang Si thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, it seems to be called "Diary", and it is related to the Nanjing Massacre."
"It is said that Chow Yun-fat, Zhang Manyu and Andy Lau will be invited to star."
As soon as Yang Siwei finished speaking, he immediately reacted.
"Boss, you mean that he himself is not sure about "Mulan", so he is aiming for a new project?"
Li Chen turned to Miss Liu and said: "The copyright issue of Mulan has not been clarified. Before, Tang Jili was just talking about an empty city plan. "If it is really settled, will he not find his rumored girlfriend?"
Liu Yifei and Yang Siwei suddenly realized that this was the case. .
Liu Yifei was overjoyed.
Li Chen shook her hand vigorously: "What expression? I promised you. Sooner or later, "Mulan" will be filmed, and it will be yours sooner or later!"
Liu Yifei felt happy, why? Forgot what Li Chen said just now.
Yang Siwei smiled and said: "By the way, boss, there is one more thing. Will "Those Years" participate in this year's Hundred Flowers and Golden Horse?"
"They have already sent us an invitation. If In the past, I would have refused.”
“But you participated in the Golden Statue this year, so how could Baihua and Golden Horse let you go?”
Li Chen turned around and saw Miss Liu's expectant eyes, and smiled: "Do you want to go?"
Miss Liu said angrily: "Of course I want to go, I'm not like you, the Golden Palm, the Silver Lion I’ve taken them all, but I’m still empty-handed!”
Yang Siwei interrupted her and said, “Yifei, I’m still empty-handed!” Are you my boss? It seems that the golden branch and the silver lion are both there!"
Li Chen laughed, and Liu Yifei said angrily: "Don't interrupt!"
Both of them stared. Looking at Li Chen, Li Chen thought about it and nodded: "If you want to go, then let's go."
"Baihua has added the Best Newcomer Award this year, and has also added online voting and voice and telephone voting for the first time." "For you, it is the right time, the right place and the right people."
"If Baihua doesn't give you the best newcomer this time, let him play by himself from now on!"
"The Golden Horse won't go."
Liu Yifei was puzzled: "Why? Not going to Golden Horse? ”
Li Chen scratched her nose and smiled: "Baihua is the audience's vote, Golden Horse is not. What if these people give me a Best Newcomer or Best Actor, what will you do?"
Yang Siwei clicked his tongue and sighed: "Boss, you spoil Yifei to the sky."
Liu Yifei felt sweet in her heart, and her eyes were all the shadow of Li Chen.
Yang Siwei shouted that he couldn't bear it anymore and quickly got up to run away.
“Sisi, go out and ask your assistant to find Director Wu. I’ll see him if I have something to do.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei said: "You have something to talk to Director Wu. I'll go back first. I have to shoot an endorsement commercial tomorrow. It's so annoying!"
Li Chen got up and saw Miss Liu out.
No one in the company knows that Liu Yifei is the big boss’s girlfriend.
Everyone rushed to say hello.
"Yifei, you often come to the company to play." The receptionist smiled and sent Liu Yifei to the elevator.
"Don't worry, I will come often if you don't tell me." Liu Yifei smiled.
Wu Bin answered the call from the boss’s assistant and came over immediately.
After entering the door and sitting opposite Li Chen, Li Chen poured him a cup of tea.
"Director Li, these are three dramas: "Father's Love Like a Mountain 2", "Genius Gunslinger" and "To Youth". You can take a look at the list I selected."
These two days Li Chen's auditions for several of the company's dramas were handed over to Wu Bin to take the helm.
Wu Bin teamed up with several deputy directors from the company's director team, plus Yang Siwei to form the casting director team.
Starting from the 15th, simultaneous auditions for three dramas except "Painted Skin 2" and "Chinese Partner" will be held.
Li Chen picked up the list and glanced at it.
In my own film "Father's Love Like a Mountain 2", the role of the daughter was actually chosen by Fan Zhitong.
I remembered that even though Fan Zhengtong had an incident later, her dramas were not removed from the Internet, so there seemed to be nothing wrong with choosing her.
Yu Nan's role as the lawyer was determined by Chen Shu.
This Fang Yanyun, who has just finished filming "New Shanghai Beach" with Huang Xiaoming, seems to make sense.
Li Chen took a look at "Genius Gunslinger" and "To Youth".
As long as there are no actors who will be famous in the future.
"I have no objection. Let the thinking be announced to the outside world." Li Chen said simply and neatly.
He had to be there to watch the casting of "Painted Skin 2" and could not let Wu Ershan make the decision.
"Okay, my movie "Partners in China" will also start casting as soon as possible. If nothing happens, I will go out first and direct Li." Wu Bin said.
"Don't worry, this is not what I called you here for."
Wu Bin, who had just stood up to leave, sat down again. He thought Li Chen was looking for him just because of casting matters. .
"In the past two days, you are going to Hong Kong Island to contact Mr. Zhen from TVB and express our intention of Rongchen Pictures to her."
Wu Bin asked doubtfully: "What's your intention, Director Li?"
"Acquisition - TVB!" Li Chen said word by word.
Wu Bin’s hand holding the tea cup shook, and a few drops of tea spilled out.
“Acquire .TVB?” Wu Bin said in shock!
"Why, it's weird?" Li Chen said with a smile.
Wu Bin came back to his senses, swallowed, stabilized his mind and quickly shook his head: "No, no, Director Li."
"It's just the acquisition of TVB. With the current situation of our Rongchen Pictures, we have this strength "
He also paid attention to recent reports from Hong Kong media about TVB.
Founder Shao Yifu is in poor health, but none of his children intend to inherit TVB.
As a result, TVB, which has been in business for 39 years, may change hands.
However, sources from the Hong Kong Island Investment Bank pointed out that Shao Yifu and related parties were interested in selling their shares.
But the asking price is high, the total is close to 10 billion yuan!
Even if Director Li’s family is strong, I’m afraid it’s not enough.
Li Chen said with a smile: "Who told you that we are the only one?"
"You go and contact us first to express our intention. Originally, we are strategic partners."
"And this thing doesn't happen overnight. Good things take a long time."
"If necessary, I would also like to meet Shao Yifu."
Wu Bin's eyes were a little solemn, and he became more and more confused. Through this young boss.
Each action is bigger than the last.
If Rongchen Pictures really wins TVB, it will be like adding more power to a tiger.
TVB is famous nationwide for its three major features.
Celebrity training class, gold medal producer, one brother and one sister.
It is also one of the three giants of Hong Kong TV.
Provide free television entertainment programs to 2.05 million households on Hong Kong Island every year.
It is the TV station that produces the most Chinese-language programs in the world.
The drama series produced have been sold in more than 30 countries and regions overseas.
Whether it is distribution strength or content production, it is second to none in Asia.
"I understand, Director Li, I will leave for Hong Kong Island tomorrow."
Li Chen nodded and smiled: "Director Wu, be confident, TVB is in our Rongchen Pictures In front of me, he is just old and old."
Wu Bin smiled and said: "I understand, as Director Li said, I will pull the tiger's skin and pull the banner, and I will never lose it. The face of our Rongchen Pictures”
Li Chen nodded slightly.
He has been thinking about acquiring TVB for a long time.
There are many wonderful dramas in the Mainland that either failed to pass the censorship or were changed beyond recognition.
The most intuitive example is Zhao Liying's "Know or Not", the original work is brilliant.
It’s a pity that the TV script was completely changed in a terrible way.
Although the ratings are extremely high, it cannot be denied that the forced whitewashing of several villains resulted in a bad ending.
There are many competitors who are interested in TVB.
Like CCTV, Li Chaoren and his son, Malaysian wealthy businessmen, etc.
But Li Chen didn’t intend to fight alone.
Wu Bin left Li Chen's office and just entered his own office.
Yang Siwei knocked on the door and came in.
"Director Wu, who is Xiao Fan?" Yang Siwei smiled.
During Fan Chong's audition, she asked for a favor for Fan Chong.
Originally, Fan Congcheng also had certain acting skills and popularity.
Of course, several assistant directors and Director Wu would not refute her face, so they settled on Fan Zhitong.
"Don't worry, Director Li didn't say anything, so he must have understood clearly." Wu Bin said with a smile.
"Exactly, this is the casting list for three plays. Director Li asked you to announce it to the public."
Yang Siwei smiled and took it, thanked him and left.
Fan Zhengyi, who had just returned to the hotel from the crew of "The Ghost in My Heart", received a text message from Yang Siwei.
"I won the role for you. I will sign a contract with your agent tomorrow to get the script."
"Behave well, my boss won't care whether you are Fan Congyi or Li Congyi on the set!"
The tired Fan Congyi immediately resurrected with full health and quickly called his agent.
Wang Zhonglei of Huayi also learned the news immediately.
Xiao Fan’s matter has been resolved, but Citadel’s “Painted Skin 2” has not yet been settled.
Wang Zhong base frowned again, he could not ignore both sides.
Although "Father's Love is Like a Mountain 2" was won by Xiao Fan himself, the outside world does not think so.
If the gossip media reports it, there is no guarantee that the two sisters will be in trouble again.
Actually, I am already upset.
In Li He's office, Li Congcheng did not hide it in front of his sister.
Li Congcheng has exquisite makeup and her long hair is pulled up into a bun.
At first glance, it is impossible to tell that he is over thirty.
Sitting on the sofa opposite Li He, holding a cup of coffee and sighing softly: "Ha'er, do you think Mr. Wang can keep Xiao Fan in the end with so much effort?"
Li He snorted coldly: "It's in vain! Sister, let's wait and see. If Mr. Wang makes people feel chilly, and the trees die and the people live, Huayi will have nothing to miss."
李椤椤He said with a helpless smile: "Why do you think Director Li needs to make a big change in "Painted Skin 2"? Si Si said that Louis Koo should be no longer needed, so I also put a question mark."
"I don't believe what Si Si said. It’s so simple, it’s just that Director Li wants to praise the newcomers.”
Li Hen sneered, stood up from the boss's chair, walked to the sofa next to his sister and sat down.
"Of course it's impossible. If you want to blame it, it's because we are from Huayi. Just watch it with your eyes wide open, sister."
"Sooner or later, Huayi and Rongchen Pictures will have to fight each other. , How can one mountain accommodate two tigers?”
