"Chengtian Entertainment from the Mainland has successfully reached an agreement with the chairman of Hong Kong Island Jiahe Group "
"Chengtian Entertainment purchased 24.78% of all Jiahe Group shares and convertible bonds held by Mr. Zou and his daughter, for a price of approximately HK$200 million."
"Since then, Chengtian Entertainment has become the largest single shareholder of Jiahe, who was once popular with Li Xiaolong and Cheng Long, who were known as the legend of the Chinese film industry."
"This merger and acquisition is also the first time that a mainland company has become a major shareholder of a Hong Kong-listed film company."
"Analysts say that the emergence of this merger and acquisition will be the first step in the strategic changes in the Asian film industry pattern from geography to creation. Watershed. ”
Although Chengtian’s big move was hyped by the Hong Kong media.
But the big guys in the industry are not fools.
If Jiahe has a bright future, will a Hong Kong man named Zou sell his shares?
Mainland netizens laughed at it.
“The Hong Kong media are all smart. If Chengtian is the largest entertainment company in the mainland, then who does Huayi count? Who does Leonardo DiCaprio’s Rongchen Pictures count?”
"Chengtian has a lot of stars under his name, but he can't even produce a big production. He is like a second-rate dealer, giving a hammer here and a mallet here."
"I invested in a "Red Cliff" and almost died. I don’t know what will happen after the release of the other film "The Film". "
"I heard that the General Administration of China has rejected the qualification of "The Film" to represent the mainland in the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film."
"The declining port area is pushing inland."
"Chengtian is like Metersbonwe, not taking the usual path! Awesome!"
Hua Yiliang The brothers all laughed like geese.
Li Chen naturally would not reply to such questions.
Tim reported to him in real time the battle between the ghost kings in "The Conjuring" and "Saw 4".
As soon as the data came out on the first day, Li Chen knew there was no surprise.
"The Conjuring" completely beat "Saw 4" with a box office of 14.5 million versus 8.65 million.
This is still Friday, I believe the gap will be even greater over the weekend.
Li Chen and Tim predicted that with the fermentation of word-of-mouth, the gap will only become wider in the future.
Tim was in awe of his boss's prediction.
The truth is exactly what his boss said.

“The difference in box office between two horror films with an investment cost difference of 10 million US dollars is as good as ever.”
“The Conjuring” opens With a box office of 43.5 million US dollars, it undoubtedly won the box office championship this week. "
"Although the first part of "Saw 4" has already collapsed in reputation, it still did not affect its revenue-generating speed, and it also dropped in the first week of release. 26.8 million box office”
"Hollywood media claims that the battle for the King of Horror has already decided. Li Chen and Wen Ziren, the two best partners in China, are proud of Hollywood and dominate Halloween!"
"Although Lions Gate invested this time 10 million, but it’s still hard to shake The Rise of the New King!”
“Not only that, “The Conjuring” also set the best opening box office record for an original horror film.”
The media sang praises for Li Chen.
This ability and feat of grabbing US dollars not only makes the eyes of those in the industry red with envy.
Even the higher-ups praised it greatly.
Compared with the relaxation of Warner Bros. and Chiyou, the president of New Line Cinema, Mr. Shay, is increasingly nervous.
In one month, "The Golden Compass" will be released.
Old Shay can say that this time, success or failure depends on this tremor.
"Lust, Caution" is finally coming to mainland China.
The premiere was held in Shanghai on the last day of the month. Although Li Chen received an invitation, he had no time to go.
Let Yang Siwei and Yu Miao go.
As a result, the two of them were disappointed when they came back. The editing was so bad that it was beyond recognition, and the actors who were present could still applaud shamelessly.
Yang Siwei and Yu Miao left after watching. When they were stopped by the media, Yang Siwei just replied.
“I’m not feeling well, I’m sorry, please give me a chance.”
The media was stunned. How come after watching "Lust, Caution" for the first time, Liu Yifei left the show midway because she felt unwell.
Yang Siwei, with such a strong body, can still feel unwell!
As soon as Yang Sisi got in the car, she called her boss.
"Boss, I really envy Yifei. She left halfway through. I insisted on finishing it because I felt really unwell."
"What kind of thing is this film? It contains private goods, glorifies traitors, and uses sex scenes as a selling point. Every one of them hits my mark."
Li Chen laughed loudly: "Your comments are spot on. !”
“No way, because his name is Li An, and the board can’t hit him. Look, this matter is not that simple!”
Yang Siwei recognized her! The boss’s implication: “Boss, what do you mean?”
Li Chen smiled: “I didn’t say anything, just look down.”
The next day, Yang Siwei was unwell and was deliberately exaggerated by the media.
Oriental Morning Post reported
"Lust, Caution" premiered, with all the stars supporting it and receiving rave reviews."
"Jiang Yiyan: Watch a good movie and indulge in it For a good character, like Wang Jiazhi who is trapped in love, staying or leaving is a matter of personal importance."
"Liu Yun: I like "Lust, Caution" very much, I give it 10 points."

"Unexpectedly, Yang Siwei, general manager of Yixin Media, declined an interview with this reporter due to physical discomfort. This is not the same reason as Liu Yifei's previous exit from the Venice premiere."
"It's "Lust, Caution" "'Discomfort' is still physical discomfort, which makes people think."
"Lust, Caution" has aroused discussion and topic even before it was released.
But in fact, the VCD and pirated copies of "Lust, Caution" are already available online.
After all, it has been released in Hong Kong and Taiwan for more than a month.
On November 1st, "Lust, Caution" will be released in mainland China.
Netizens were disappointed after watching the abridged version, but the reputation was polarized.
The majority of the films are applauded. After all, Li An is an internationally renowned director.
It seems that applause means you understand.
This does not prevent the majority of Taoist friends who have watched the unabridged version online from expressing their opinions.
But the style of painting gradually went astray.
"It's just a third-level pornographic film. It's no different from Ye Zimei Ye Yuqing's movie. Since the director is Li An, it becomes an art film!"
"Three If you don’t have a good view, you can only rely on the sex scenes to attract attention.”
“But the sex scenes are really exciting. It’s a pity that Li An doesn’t go to the island country to make action movies!”
“My daughter and I! My friend tried it and it was not easy! ”
Southern Weekend reported
“In 2007, the hottest topic in the film industry came from Lust, Caution.”
“From the end of September to the release of the film in Hong Kong and Taiwan to the mainland recently, three of the high-pitched scenes The difficult sex scene is a classic, not only making Andy Lau exclaim, "Awesome, so awesome!" ”
“It also makes many young men and women eager to imitate. "
No one expected that "Lust, Caution" would trigger a frenzy of imitations within a few days of its release in the mainland.
The enthusiasm of netizens was instantly ignited.
“The impact is so strong that people can’t help but try it!”
“It’s very beautiful. As a woman, I can totally accept it!”
“It’s very artistic. If your legs don’t cramp, you must try it!”
Liu Dehua, who was preparing for a concert in Beijing, was also speechless. He said that the movie was wonderful, but the media interpreted it as wonderful!
Major forums and post bars have established discussion areas for "Lust, Caution".
Even experts jumped out to speak out.
“Difficult sexual positions are harmful to the health of both parties and should not be imitated.”
“Sexual movements like those in "Lust, Caution" are mostly abnormal positions, and those with experience in yoga and gymnastics Only softer women can complete it."
"Blind imitation by ordinary people will cause unnecessary damage to the body."
The biggest advantage of Li An is that no matter who spits on his face, he can do it.
Netizens seemed not to be happy, and they also pulled out Liu Yifei and Li Chen.
"Do you know why the immortal is feeling unwell? It was the immortal lying on Liang Chaowei's crotch, and we would have been blessed if it hadn't been for Little Plum's rebellion!"
"The one who is riding the horse, Xiao Lizi is really not a toy, and he doesn’t understand why being happy alone is not as good as having fun with everyone.”
“Xiao Lizi is really not a toy. You guys are the same as Li An.”
