Chapter 185: The Mountain Eagle Gets Fire
Li Chen’s words were to the point. He was not a long-winded person.
Lu Zheng didn’t believe in evil in his heart.
Looking for a group of extremely ugly men to play "Anaconda", wouldn't it highlight Tian Tian's beauty even more!
How come no one understands his painstaking efforts!
Li Chen bypassed several people and went straight to the creative team of "China Partners".
Han Sanping saw that Li Chen hadn’t come over.
Just glanced at him and Yu Dong, and became even more angry.
I secretly felt that this boy was paying less and less attention to him.
When "Leaves Return to Their Roots" premiered, I called him, and even the brat dared not come.
Yu Dong observed the words and said with a smile: "Leader, Director Li is getting more and more confident."
Han Sanping knew that Yu Dong was provoking, so he said angrily: "If you don't get in front of me, This kid must be saved."
Yu Dong was quite embarrassed: "How did I offend him, why am I so unpopular with him?"
Jiang Shuying was wearing a uniform today! The dark green dress shows off her slender figure to the fullest.
"Director Li." Seeing Li Chen coming over, Jiang Shuying bowed slightly, her eyes moving.
Li Chen, Wu Bin, and the leading actors Lu Yi nodded.
He then said to Jiang Shuying: "Several of your theater students have come, and you invited them all?"
Jiang Shuying's face turned slightly red and she glanced left and right. Deng Chao and Tong Dawei with smiles on their faces.
A little embarrassed and said: "He, they asked me several times, I."
Li Chen smiled: "I didn't mean anything else, it was just a casual question."
He just saw a lot of familiar faces.
At that time, "Those Years" was promoted and I saw it at the theater.
Like Little Cheetah, Wang Chuanjun, Chen He and so on.
Jiang Shuying smiled and immediately felt relieved.
Wu Bin also smiled and said: "Director Li, the host will ask about the box office later, you have to tell me the truth."
"Having learned from the experience of "The Leaves Return to Their Roots", I'm a little scared."
Deng Chao laughed and interrupted: "Director Wu, even if you don't believe us leading actors, you still have to criticize Director Li's script I have confidence."
Tong Dawei also smiled and said: "Yes, it is based on Director Li's sign, a guarantee of one. Billion!"
Deng Chao nodded: "Although Director Zhang and I are both in the film industry, but compared to the box office appeal, I would choose Director Li with my eyes closed."
How many times? Everyone said something to me, Li Chen smiled and shook his head: "It can't reach 100 million, I will make up for it from the salary of a few of you."
After saying that, Li Chen turned around and went to socialize elsewhere.
Deng Chao laughed loudly, full of confidence, and said to Li Chen's back: "No problem, Director Li."
Han Sanping saw that Li Chen had finally come over, and his face changed. Smile.
“You still have me in your eyes?”
Li Chen chuckled: “Look what you said!”
Han Sanping hummed twice: "Why don't you come to the premiere of "The Leaves Return to Their Roots"?"
Li Chen and Han Sanping are already very familiar with each other and have no worries.
Let’s tell the truth: “When doing sketches, just do them with peace of mind, no matter what boundary you cross.”
“A small-budget movie has attracted more than 300 people from all walks of life, including me, Li Chen. Right?”
“But although I didn’t go, I quite agree with what Uncle Benshan said.”
Han Sanping raised his eyes: "What are you talking about?"
"This movie is only worth 10 million at most"
Han Sanping's face darkened.
Zhang Yang is a member of his Beijing Film Studio, equivalent to one of his own. He doesn’t support anyone.
Even Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, these people sold his face to support Zhang Yang.
Only Li Chen refuted his face.
As soon as Li Chen looked at Han Sanping's face, he knew that he was unhappy.
The conversation changed and he said again: "Director Han, I am not going just to save your face."
"What do you mean, I have to thank you?"
Li Chen laughed: "Don't get angry first, just listen to me."
"I went. The media will inevitably ask me to comment or estimate the box office. It's impossible for me to tell lies with my eyes open."
"When the time comes, won't you be the one who loses face?"
Han Sanping became even more angry: "You mean "The Leaves Return to Their Roots" is bad?"
Li Chen sneered: "You don't know if it's bad or not?" "The New Film Alliance takes care of your face. Even if you lie about your box office, why do you, a domestic film leader, also lie to yourself?”
"This kind of unhealthy trend is unacceptable."
Han Sanping couldn't help but look at Li Chen with squinted eyes.
Li Chen saw Xu Xiaoping coming and made an excuse.
"Mr. Xu is here. I'll go over to socialize, Mr. Han."
"If you think my words are unpleasant, I will keep these words in my stomach from now on."
Han Sanping looked at Li Chen's back and became furious.
The premiere of "The Leaves Return to Their Roots" was like his coronation ceremony.
No one in the circle doesn’t know that he is about to make a comeback, so no one dares to reject the hero post he sent out.
Even Feng Xiaogang, who was filming "Assembly", and Lao Mouzi, who was busy with the Olympics, had to come and sign in with him.
But Li Chen, whom he regarded as one of his own, did not come.
It really made him angry, but what Li Chen just said also made him think deeply.
The cost of "The Leaves Return to Their Roots" made Zhao Benxuan seem to reveal it by letting it slip.
The film’s slogan of earning 100 million at the box office also sounds very encouraging.
But even several theater managers from their distributor boasted that the box office exceeded 10 million in the first weekend.
It is still just a farce directed and performed by oneself.
The Hong Kong box office has been less than 200,000 for more than half a month.
The mainland is even less than 8 million.
He himself felt ashamed.
Li Chen didn't take Han Sanping's anger to heart.
With his strength, status and reputation in the industry, he doesn't want to do something that makes him uncomfortable against his will.
Even if he is Han Sanping, he can't do it.
For example, the premiere of "The Leaves Return to Their Roots" was so big that most of the big names in the literary and art world were invited.
It’s just because of Han Sanping’s upcoming rise to power and Uncle Zhao’s lack of respect.
The cost of 10 million was blown to 30 million, and the opening weekend box office of 1 or 2 million was blown to 15 million.
You deceive yourself, but the market will not deceive itself.
Several major theater chains across the country, except for China Film's own New Film Alliance.
Who buys your reputation in Han Sanping?
If it doesn’t sell well, the theater chain won’t buy it even if the King of Heaven is here.
Li Chen is the most annoyed by this kind of deception.
In order to attract audiences into the cinema, the first week's box office will be flooded.
Even China Film Group has done this. No wonder other film companies will follow suit in the future.
We have different paths and do not seek each other.
Perhaps it was at this time that Zhang Yimou and Zhao Benxiang started thinking of shooting the case three times.
The movie premiere starts soon.
Miss Liu sat next to Li Chen and whispered quietly: "I see what you just said to Director Han?"
"Director Han's face is so ugly."
Li Chen smiled: "I took off his fig leaf, and he can't get off the stage."
Miss Liu was stunned and said with some worry : "Are you okay?"
Li Chen shook his head and smiled without saying a word.
A viewing of "Partners in China" kept the audience laughing.
This is the first time for everyone to see this kind of entrepreneurial-themed movie. It is full of freshness and has consistent laughs.
After the movie was played, all the guests stood up and applauded continuously.
The host invited the leading actors to the stage and started interacting.
During this period, I did not forget to ask Xu Xiaoping and Li Chen for advice.
When it comes to the unavoidable issue of box office.
Wu Bin smiled calmly: "I also asked Director Li this question just now, but Director Li didn't give an answer."
"But the actors are very confident, and they even bet with Director Li with their own salary to guarantee the bottom line. 100 million!"
The host asked casually: "So, Director Li thinks that the box office of "China Partner" will not exceed 100 million?"
Li Chen chuckled. : "Seek truth from facts, just don't cheat."
Han Sanping on the side felt a little hot on his face, and he didn't know if Li Chen was insinuating him with this sentence.
