Chapter 382 Shocking Gamble
The two leading stars of "Low IQ Crime" are except for the policewoman Yang Mi.
The role of the other police chief Zhang Yiang was finally decided by Zhang Jiayi, the uncle who appeared in "33 Days of Love", Tian Zhuangzhuang.
Several other leading actors are also from Nortel.
For example, among the two stupid thieves, Liu Zhi chose Huang Bo, while Fang Chao chose Liu Yijun.
The villain Zhou Rong, a rich man, chose Ni Dahong, a veteran actor in Chinese dramas.
As soon as the news came out, the media rushed to report it.
""Crime of Low IQ" recently announced the starring cast, and the two leading actors are both from Nortel."
"Tian Zhuangzhuang's casting has attracted heated discussion."
""Crime of Low IQ" aims at next summer release."
Netizens mostly made fun of it in good faith.
“Director Tian can’t follow the path that great directors from Nortel must take, and he really has the demeanor of being a role model.”
“Lao Mouzi, Poet Chen, and Xiao Lizi should learn from it. , don’t keep looking next door!”
Li Chen took the initiative to call Tian Zhuangzhuang.
"Li Chen, didn't I cause you any trouble?"
Li Chen said indifferently: "What trouble can there be? Who said that great directors have to use the people next door."
"Teacher, you don’t have to be burdened. Maybe this unwritten rule requires you to come." Breaking.”
This made Tian Zhuangzhuang feel relieved and devoted himself to the filming of the movie.
After hanging up the phone, the studio was surrounded by green screens.
Li Chen continued to watch Liu Yifei lead the dance of "Little Apple". The six girls behind him were arranged in a triangular manner.
Liu Yifei is wearing a serious girl group outfit.
White boots, short skirt, and hot vest, the youthful atmosphere is so exciting.
The corners of Li Chen's mouth turned up as he watched, remembering Miss Liu's heart palpitations in her previous life
"What were you laughing at just now?" After the shooting, Liu Yifei asked curiously, remembering the faint smile on the corner of her fiancé's mouth just now.
Li Chen suppressed a smile and said: "Nothing, I just remembered a girl I saw on TV a long time ago."
"Obviously she is as beautiful as a flower, but she wears the dirt she wears."
Liu Yifei pouted and stared at Li Chen, seriously doubting that her fiancé was contemplating her.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about you. That girl has long hair and curly hair, unlike you who has cool short hair."
"Running Man" is still in hot filming , the seven gourd kids went crazy playing.
It’s not that they have never been on variety shows, it’s just that there has never been a variety show that they will never forget.
Except "Running Man".
In late August, the recording of "Running Man" was completed.
Deng Chao joined the cast of "Detective Dee" again.
Li Chen also accompanied his fiancée to the land of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
Huang Xiaoming also called Liu Yifei and asked her if she would agree to Director Zhang's participation in Journey to the West.
"No, Li Chen replied to Teacher Zhang that day that you and Fan Zhitong will star, and I will star." Liu Yifei said with a smile.
"Haha, then I know how to reply to Director Zhang."
Liu Yifei asked curiously: "How are you going to reply to Teacher Zhang."
"That's not it yet. It’s simple, I just say that Yifei and Lichen will appear, and I will appear.”
Liu Yifei burst into laughter and glanced at her fiancé beside her: “Brother Xiaoming, you are as bad as Li Chen.”
Huang Xiaoming quickly denied: "Goodbye, my uncle and I are in different levels."
"By the way, let me report to my aunt."
"My appointment with Huayi is coming soon, pick me up I plan to open my own studio when the time comes, so I’ll ask my aunt and uncle to take care of me.”
“Thank you, aunt!”
Liu Yifei was shocked, Huang Xiaoming was not the same as her. Have you subscribed to Huayi’s shares?
Why not renew the contract? Is it true that the rumor that Huayi wants to ban Huang Xiaoming is true?
Liu Yifei didn't want to ask too many questions on the phone. She only said that we would talk about it when we got back from Bangkok.
Liu Yifei revealed Huang Xiaoming’s story to Li Chen, but Li Chen didn’t seem surprised.
"How do I feel? You don't seem to be surprised by anything. Could it be that you know it again?"
Li Chen hugged his fiancée, both of them were wearing black and white hats covering their faces. Take a hood and stroll through Bangkok’s Grand Palace.
"I'm just not interested in outsiders' affairs."
The surrounding Buddhist atmosphere is strong, which makes people feel peaceful.
Happy time is always short-lived. On the plane back home, Liu Yifei reluctantly snuggled into Li Chen's arms.
“I don’t know when will we travel together next time?”
“This is not simple. As long as you want, I will accompany you for a walk every year.”
"Really?"
"We won't compensate you if it's fake!"
The two chatted and laughed, and Li Chen didn't turn on the phone until they returned to the villa.
As soon as I turned on my phone, I received countless missed call reminders and text messages.
There are Huayi’s, China Film, Jiang Wen and so on.
Li Chen chose to reply to a few people.
It turns out that Jiang Wen and Wang Zhonglei both mean the same thing.
To sum up, both "Let the Bullets Split" and "Big Earthquake" are not easy.
One project took three years to prepare and the other cost 150 million, which cannot be compensated.
Let’s not fight our own people.
I thought Li Chen was not easy to talk to, but unexpectedly, Li Chen was very talkative this time.
He easily agreed to their request.
Isn't this exactly what I want? "Avatar" is about to be a shock. Who has time for internal fighting?
Some things just couldn't stand to be talked about, so Han Sanping called him and asked him to come to the Film Research Institute for a meeting via 911.
The day he chose was too scary. He couldn’t be asked to play CS.
As a result, I found out that the leaders of the film bureau and the executives of 20th Century Fox, the producer of Avatar, were gathered at the scientific research institute. Watch the 15-minute promotional video for Avatar.
Among the great domestic directors, he was the only one invited.
After reading it, Fox’s people were sent away. Everyone in the conference room was silent, and the atmosphere was so stressful that people couldn’t breathe.
It was Tong Ju who broke the silence: "This is a very good movie, and its value orientation meets our expectations."
In just one sentence, it seems that nothing has been said, and yet it seems that it has said everything.
The theater representatives present, the producer representative Li Chen, and the official representatives all understand an indisputable fact.
Avatar is coming to kill!
The leaders of China Film Digital Company nodded frequently: "That's what Director Tong said."
Director Tong said again: "Mr. Ye, Mr. Qin, how much do you two estimate the box office of Avatar will be?" ?”
Theater representatives Ye Ning and Qin Hong.
As a result, the two conservatives made Li Chen collapse.
"Boss Tong, Mr. Qin and I both think that the box office of "Avatar" will reach 500 million, setting a new box office record in the mainland."
Li Chen held back his smile and turned his head. Don't want to be named.
He is the youngest and sits at the back of the long table during meetings, opposite Ye Ning.
"Li Chen, what do you think? For "Charlotte," you announced a guarantee of 500 million." Tong Ju said with a smile.
Everyone here laughed and thought it was a joke.
Qin Hong and Ye Ning across from each other were quite good at it, probably because they were embarrassed to laugh because they were sitting opposite Li Chen.
In fact, not only Qin Hong and Ye Ning, but also several other theaters felt that Li Chen was exaggerating this time.
But now is not the time to argue with them.
Since he was called by name, Li Chen would not pretend to be a grandson.
“I know that Director Tong and everyone here think that I am talking big words, and even think that I am deliberately trying to get angry with Director Feng’s goal of 500 million.”
“Let’s do this, I Today, in front of Director Tong and other leaders, please ask Qin Zonghe Nightclub has a message for the other six theaters."
Ye Ning said with a smile: "What Director Li said, Wanda didn't think Director Li was talking nonsense."
Even if she really felt that Li Chen was bragging, Ye Ning couldn't say it at the moment.
Wanda and Rongchen Pictures are allies. As long as their personal interests are not involved, they will always be on Li Chen's side.
On the other hand, Qin Hong could not hold back her composure and only said: "Director Li has something to say to us."
"Just say that I, Li Chen, want to sign a gambling agreement with all the theater chain CEOs. , let’s judge the winning or losing based on the box office of “Avatar”.”
“What kind of bet is it?”
“The limit is one billion. If it’s less than one billion, I lose. ! ”
"One billion!"
There was an exclamation in the conference room.
Even Ju Tong and Han Sanping also stopped smiling.
Everyone thought that Li Chen was so angry that he was so confused.
Ye Ning wanted to smooth things over.
Unexpectedly, Qin Hong smiled and said: "What is Director Li's bargaining chip?"
"Movies produced by Rongchen Pictures will all return to a 41% share ratio in the future!"
"Li Chen! Are you crazy?" Han Sanping shouted.
Qin Hong said: "Director Han, I think Director Li's proposal is very interesting."
"Southern Shock" was ruined by Li Chen, which made Qin Hong very upset.
It wasn't that Li Chen was so powerful that he never had a chance, Qin Hong would have taken action long ago.
“No matter what other theater chains say, China Film Xingmei has agreed, and Director Han will certainly not object.”
This is simply a suicide for the theater chain, and Qin Hong is very happy. Just jumping around.
Even if Li Chen won, their theater chain didn’t ask anything about what they had to pay.
Because in his opinion, 1 billion is simply a fantasy.
How could Li Chen win?
Ye Ning is now more calm than Qin Hong.
"Mr. Qin, if Director Li wins, we don't know what we have to pay, but you agreed."
Qin Hong felt secretly in his heart that he was really happy and confused.
“I’m afraid that Director Li won because he wanted to increase the share of movies produced by Rongchen Pictures to 45%, right?”
Ye Ning smiled bitterly.
"Yes, this is fair to the theater chain. One billion is not five hundred million. If you really want to calculate it, I still suffered a loss."
Everyone came to their senses.
Tong Gang's face also looked a little heavy.
I didn’t expect that my joke would make everyone stop laughing.
Qin Hong couldn't laugh anymore, even though it was a sure win.
But if we lose, I’m afraid it won’t be a family affair.
Once the lid is lifted, producers such as New Picture, Huayi, Yinghuang, and Xiaoma will definitely jointly put pressure on the theaters.
When the time comes, everyone will ask for the 43% account sharing ratio to be increased to 45%. What should we do?
Now Qin Hong was hesitant.
"Mr. Qin can go down and discuss it. I'll be waiting for the heads of the eight theater chains at Splendid Diamond next Monday."
"If you have any ideas, we can discuss them in person." Li Chen said with a smile.
For some reason, Ye Ning always felt that the smile of Director Li opposite him was a bit catchy.
But he couldn't figure out what went wrong.
Today’s gambling match was not like the usual Director Li at all, he was just like a gambler who was losing his mind.
