Chapter 362: I can’t sleep because I miss you
“Is that Director Li’s car?”
“2425! That should be right.”
Zhang Chen and Shen After Huan Huan finished speaking, he led a few people down the steps quickly and greeted them with smiles on their faces.
As soon as Li Chen got out of the car, he felt as if he was leading the way.
Many familiar faces from previous lives appeared in front of me.
Mary, Allen, Changyuan
“Director Li, Director Wu, I’ve been waiting for you two.”
Why did these words sound familiar? Li Chen felt his heart tremble when he heard this.
"Mr. Chen is here too." Li Chen pretended to be surprised and glanced at Shen Pain with a smile.
Shen Tong immediately explained with a smile: "It's not my fault for being loud-mouthed, Director Li."
"We, Mr. Chen, have already given instructions that as soon as Director Li comes, everyone must sweep up the couch to welcome him."
Zhang Chen on the side agreed repeatedly and introduced the Mahua actors one by one to Li Chen.
Mary felt that Director Li did not know her as Shen Tong said before, and there was no difference in the way he looked at her.
The crowd embraced Li Chen and Wu Bin into the theater.
Zhang Chen and Shen Tong introduced Ma Hua to Li Chen while exploring Li Chen's tone of voice.
However, Li Chen was very strict with his words. The two of them were almost dry with their words, and they couldn't get a useful word out of Li Chen's mouth.
Finally, Li Chen smiled at Shen Pain and said, "You keep telling me how great your director's "The Stone" is, so let's take a look."
Shen Pain looks forward to it. He glanced at Zhang Chen and laughed and said, "Okay, Director Li, Mr. Zhang, I'll go get ready."
After Shen Tong left, Zhang Chen continued to talk to Li Chen.
But Li Chen was not interested at all in what he said about the future prospects of stage plays.
Zhang Chen’s vision is still limited to stage plays.
Li Chen thought about it. Without Liu Hongtao's joining later, Mahua didn't know when he would be able to see his true nature.
"Mr. Zhang, you said you created four scripts last year?" Li Chen suddenly interrupted.
Zhang Chen paused, then smiled and said: "Yes, last year was considered a big explosion of our twist."
"In previous years, there was at most one script per year, but last year there were four."
Li Chen nodded: "Have you ever thought about turning the script into a movie?"
"Made into a movie. ?" Zhang Chen was stunned.
“To be honest with Director Li, I really haven’t thought about this. Making a movie is too risky, and Mahua can’t stand the trouble.”
The subtext of this statement is that Mahua has no money, and the movie It’s too high-end and you can’t afford to lose.
Li Chen knew that Zhang Chen was telling the truth.
Li Chen found out before coming here that the only three founders of Mahua are Zhang Chen and Yu Kai.
Another Chinese opera teacher has quit his stock to make a TV series.
Although the domestic film and television industry is now entering a ten-year golden period.
But more than 70% of movies lose money.
Li Chen is the only one in the country who has never lost money.
If Xiaogangpao didn't have "The Night Banquet", he would still be considered intact.
Li Chen nodded and said no more. The three of them sat under the stage and started watching "Crazy Stone"!
Li Chen, Wu Bin and Zhang Chen in the audience nodded and communicated from time to time, making the twist actors on the stage even more excited.
"Mr. Zhang, I think Shen Pain and their performance skills can completely crush Xiao Shenyang and the others."
Zhang Chen is quite confident about this.
“Director Li, many of our Mahua actors have majored in education.”
“I’m not boasting. Compared to the two of them who are actors, we stage actors have more background.”
Li Chen smiled and nodded: "I think so too. Nowadays, Errenzhuan actors can appear on the big screen."
"Stage actors, why can't they?"
Zhang Chen's heart was filled with excitement at these words, but when he thought of Ma Hua's current situation, he instantly calmed down.
"Director Li, I remember very clearly that the worst scene of the company's first drama "I Want to Eat Twist Twists Now" six years ago only sold 7 tickets."
"It was snowing heavily that day, and Shen Tong walked to the entrance of the theater in the snow. I said we should go back today."
"At that time, several of our company leaders were standing in the snow, waiting for the audience to refund their tickets."
“But last year, the company earned several million in ticket revenue throughout the year, so I should be content.”
"But I always feel that the potential of the stage play is more than this!"
"Of course it is more than this!" Li Chen still stared at the people on the stage.
Ke’s confident words shocked Zhang Chen’s heart again.
Zhang Chen waited for Li Chen to continue talking, but Li Chen had nothing to say.
After a while, the performance of "Stone" ended, and Li Chen was the first to stand up and applaud everyone on the stage.
Shen Tong and others looked happy and bowed in thanks.
“Thank you, Director Li, for showing me the light!” Shen Tong shouted with a smile.
Mary and others followed in unison, and then everyone burst into laughter.
When everyone got off the stage, Zhang Chen said with a smile: "Director Li, please comment a few words."
Looking at the men and women surrounding him, Li Chen said with a smile: "Two of them Words: So-so! ”
Everyone laughed, and looking at Li Chen's expression, they knew he was joking.
After laughing, Li Chen said seriously: "It's very good, but no matter how good it is, someone has to see it."
"Director Li said, Mahua." Zhang Chen also said I want to continue to talk about Mahua’s sad journey along the way.
Li Chen immediately interrupted: "Mr. Zhang, I watched a free performance today, so I'll treat everyone to a free lunch."
"Shen Pain , look at what everyone wants to eat, but don’t save me money.”
Shen Tong glanced at Zhang Chen, who nodded slightly.
Shen Tong laughed and said, "Okay, Director Li."
It took three hours to eat this meal.
Li Chen's words straightened out the twisted Ma Hua's thoughts and made everyone in Ma Hua dumbfounded.
After sending Li Chen away, everyone had their own thoughts.
No one expected such a result today, even Zhang Chen was upset.
But Li Chen’s few words were like bells in the morning and drums in the evening, which shocked Zhang Chen.
After sending away Shen Pain and others, Zhang Chen did not go home, but found his partner Yu Kai.
“IP?” Yu Kai, one of the founders of Mahua, asked doubtfully.
“Well, he said that comics, novels, and plays can all be formed into film and television works, so why not stage plays?”
“Today, we, Mahua, have more than a dozen stage play scripts in our hands, which have formed the prototype of IP.”
“There is only one road, which is the road of capital. It is impossible for niche stage plays to gain access to capital in the future. There is competitiveness in the competition.”
“But the prerequisite for becoming a capital is the intervention of capital Dongfeng, which is exactly what his Rongchen Pictures has.”
On the other side, Wu. But Bin couldn't understand what Li Chen did today.
"Director Li, if you want to buy a stake in this company, it will be easy, but it may not be easy to hold a controlling stake."
"In his words, Mr. Zhang seemed to not want his equity to be overly diluted."
Li Chen smiled confidently: "It's no wonder he disagrees. We have too many things that they can't refuse."
"The situation is stronger than the people. Zhang Chen doesn't dare to cold-blooded the people below. It's hard to lead the team."
"You didn't realize that when I mentioned that I wanted to write and direct a movie by them When the Mahua team starred in the movie, what were the expressions of Shen Tong and the others? "
Wu Bin's eyes lit up, and he almost screamed when he remembered that Shen Tong and others' eyes were glowing green at that time.
Then he smiled and said: "Director Li, you are really unreasonable. You want to dismantle the enemy from within, but I am very curious."
"They are really worthy of us doing this."
Li Chen did not go. Reply to Wu Bin, whether it is worth it or not will be revealed later.
Mahua did not keep Li Chen waiting for too long. Only two days later, Zhang Chen and Yu Kai came to visit in person.
The two were willing to accept Li Chen's shareholding and bargained for a while.
Li Chen holds 40% of Mahua shares at a high price of 20 million.
Zhang Chen and Yu Kai hold 45% and 15% of the shares respectively. Zhang Chen is still the largest shareholder of Mahua. After finishing the twist, Li Chen felt happy.
The future is painful, Mary and other leading actors are leaving, and I can cash out and leave depending on the situation.
The current priority is to use the resources at hand to prepare for the listing of Mahua on the New Third Board with the help of "Charlotte Troubles".
The transaction between the two parties did not attract outside attention.
But for the Mahua members, this is undoubtedly a blessing from heaven.
Zhang Chen and Yu Kai were also very happy, and they discussed it all night that day.
In the end, just as Li Chen expected, people had to bow their heads under the eaves.
And Li Chen is indeed, as he said, one of the leading investors in China with strong strength and solid background.
The next day, Han Sanping specially held a celebration banquet for Ning Hao at the Diaoyutai Hotel.
Li Chen, Zhang Guoli, Chen Kaige and other big names were invited to attend.
Ning Hao has made two consecutive films with a box office of over 100 million, firmly establishing himself as a great director.
Lao Han will take this opportunity to announce the "No Man's Land" plan.
Seeing Lao Han dragging Ning Hao through the market, Li Chen mourned three seconds of silence for them.
I haven’t seen Ge Hong CP for a long time. When we first met, Mr. Ge was not as depressed as expected.
Still as proud as a big white goose.
Chen Hong's favorable impression of Li Chen doubled.
Pingting walked over gracefully holding a glass of wine.
Although the charm is still there, the subtle crow's feet under the corners of the eyes have become more obvious.
Wearing a black women's half-sleeve suit, it's hard to tell whether her figure is out of shape.
"Li Chen, are you leaving for the United States in the next few days?"
Li Chen nodded with a smile: "I was leaving today, but Director Han and Ning Hao insisted on me coming to support them."< br>
“My arms can’t twist my thighs, so I have no choice but to obey.”
Chen Hong covered her mouth and chuckled: “You are also an investor, isn’t it only natural that you come to support Director Ning?”< br>
Li Chen was shocked, what happened?
Why do I feel that Mr. Ge’s wife suddenly became friendly to him?
Li Chen quickly changed the subject: "Sister Hong, are you almost ready for Director Chen's "The Orphan of Zhao"?"
Chen Hong nodded and smiled: "It's almost done, but what if If you want to seduce people, I will arrange it."
Li Chen felt happy again, this "The Orphan of Zhao" is like the mobilization of your whole family.
Mr. Ge is in charge of the camera, his younger son plays the role, and his eldest son plays the role.
My wife was originally going to play the role of Fan Zongtong, but Chen Hong took the initiative to step aside and take the role behind the scenes.
It doesn’t matter if you have a hand in it. Signing a pigeon for nothing is always a favor. What if pigeons are in trouble in the future and have to stand on their own?
Li Chen declined Chen Hong, and Chen Hong was still a little unhappy.
"Li Chen, do you look down on my old Chen?"
If we don’t say that women’s intuition is scary, Chen Hong said this unexpectedly, and Li Chen could only smile insincerely: "How could it be possible? Sister Hong."
"Farewell My Concubine, directed by Chen "No one has surpassed it so far, you are overthinking it."
Chen Hong felt proud, Zhan Yan smiled and sighed: "It's a pity "Mei Lanfang"."
"Everyone said "Mei Lanfang". "Mei Lanfang" is very good at catching bears. Even I think so, who would have known."
This woman is really good at speaking. She will say half of everything, just waiting for you to pick her up.
Li Chen also pretended to sigh: "Sister Hong said it is true."
Seeing that Li Chen was not following the truth, Chen Hong said again: "Do you also think that "Mei Lanfang" should capture the bear?"
If you really know how to hit a snake and follow it with a stick, women still can't get used to it.
Li Chen smiled softly and asked: "Compared with "Mei Lanfang" and "Farewell My Concubine", Sister Hong, who do you think is better?"
Chen Hong didn't Understanding what Li Chen meant, he honestly said: "Of course it's Farewell My Concubine."
Li Chen nodded and continued: "How does the Berlin Film Festival compare with the Cannes Film Festival?"
Chen Hong stopped talking, and after a moment, she looked at Li Chen with a look of relief: "That's it. "
Li Chen saw that she had figured it out, and then he smiled and added: "Of course, this is a conspiracy theory based on hindsight."
Sent him away. Chen Hong and Ning Hao came over to chat with him again.
The two immediately rushed to Hollywood, and the other to no man's land.
Ning Hao's balls ached with envy.
On the way back, Mr. Ge asked his wife what they were talking about with Li Chen, and he laughed so hard that he was confused.
Chen Hong told Chen Kaige what Li Chen said.
Mr. Ge slapped his thigh: "I'm just saying it's not that my "Mei Lanfang" is not good enough, but that those Germans are shameless!"
Chen Hong was speechless, sighing secretly in his heart. It is really painful and happy to give such a single-celled old baby a leg.
After Li Chen returned, he rushed out the script of "Charlotte Troubles".
The advantage of rebirth is that he knows how to avoid pitfalls.
There are many lines and plots that I didn’t write even though I knew they wouldn’t pass the review.
Like the deleted scenes of Silly Dachun and Zhang Yang’s crotch dribbling.
Although it was hilarious, it obviously couldn’t pass.
The phrase 'You think it's your principal, sleep wherever you want, sleep with whomever you want' is extremely ironic.
But it won’t pass the trial in five years, let alone now.
Li Chen asked Yu Miao to send the script to the bureau.
I and Wu Bin set off for Hollywood.
Tim came to pick him up at the airport with great fanfare, which made Wu Bin, who was back in Hollywood for the first time, deeply feel the luxury and glamor of foreign countries.
A stretched Rolls-Royce, a black bodyguard who often appears in movies.
The group of people protected Li Chen and others and quickly left the airport.
Tim sent Li Chen back to Crystal Wu, made an appointment to meet at the New Line headquarters tomorrow and left wisely.
The "Inception" crew and staff come and go.
Nolan was gesturing with Leon and Gloria, and Leon was holding a pistol and turning it around.
Liu Yifei looked at her watch nervously all day.
Mother Liu laughed and said: "Don't look, Li Chen just called and he has already arrived."
"I was going to come to the crew, but I told him not to come and sit down." It's been a long flight. "
Liu Yifei pouted and said, "Mom, why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me think he hadn't landed yet."
Mother Liu. He smiled and said, "Aren't you just free now?"
"Besides, maybe Director Nolan doesn't want him to visit your class."
Li Chen took a bath, lay on the bed and fell asleep without realizing it.
I feel vaguely itchy on the tip of my nose.
Even without opening his eyes, Li Chen knew who was in front of him just by the scent.
With a sudden turn over, the mischievous Miss Liu was crushed under her body.
Miss Liu exclaimed "Ah", and her lips were instantly sealed by Li Chen.
The lips and teeth of the two people are drawn into lines.
Ms. Liu naturally put her arms around Li Chen’s neck and responded enthusiastically.
Li Chen skillfully reached out to unbutton Miss Liu's underwear, and Miss Liu was not to be outdone.
As if to demonstrate, he lifted up Li Chen's pajamas.
Soon, Miss Liu's white bra, panties, and coat were scattered messily on the floor.
The room heard the heavy breathing of men and women.
"Think about it, do you miss me?"
"Nonsense! I miss you so much that I can't sleep."
