Chapter 427: Never Compete with Yifei
This week, "Avatar" finally returned to Earth from the magical planet Pandora, earning only 23 million.
But still easily defeated the challenger "Detective Sherlock Holmes" and defended the weekly championship title.
The record of nine consecutive championships is not unprecedented, but it is almost unprecedented.
The total box office of the film increased by 1.4 billion, which has exceeded the domestic box office of 2002.
Cheng Long's "Little Soldiers" has grossed over 100 million at the box office in the two weeks since its release.
But "Avatar" single-handedly broke the domestic film history, and the box office of 100 million was no longer available.
Li Chen answered Tim’s call in the study.
"Avatar" is gradually fading away, and "The Conjuring 2" is preparing to be released in April.
After "The Conjuring 2", Li Chen and Wen Ziren reached an agreement that he would direct the first season of "The Hunger Games".
Li Chen has a brilliant tongue, and there is a lot of potential in the vast world outside of horror movies.
Wen Ziren repeatedly emphasized that he still likes horror movies best and will wait until the first season is finished.
In addition, "Inception" will be released in the summer season.
Liu Yifei and Deng Chaode began to cooperate with the crew in global promotions. They also had to film "Meng Hua Lu" and the schedule was tight.
"Inception" and "Passengers" almost surround "Earthquake" from the front and back.
I don’t know if the big and small kings will change the schedule after knowing this news.
"Director Yimou is here, let's go in." Liu Yifei's sharp eyes saw Zhang Yimou's car driving into her house at a glance.
As soon as Zhang Yimou walked in, Deng Chao and others immediately came forward to say hello.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Director Zhang. Under the leadership of you and Director Li, we will grow even stronger. Are you right?" Deng Chao said with a smile.
"Brother Chao is absolutely right. Please take good care of Director Zhang in the future. I, Zhu Yawen, will be the mascot on your and Director Li's shoulders from now on!"
Zhang Yi was really ashamed when he saw the reactions of Deng Chao and Zhu Yawen.
No wonder others are more popular than me, but I have no acting skills.
"Can you two give me a chance to flatter Director Zhang?" Zhang Yi's little eyes rolled around, not wanting to be outdone at all.
Zhang Yimou smiled honestly: "If there is a chance, there is a chance."
Liu Yifei and Zhou Xun also came in to meet Zhang Yimou.
Yang Siwei arrived late with Yu Kewei, Zhu Yilong and Chen Sicheng.
It was the first time for several newcomers to visit the big boss’s mansion, and Dilraba acted as a tour guide.
As soon as Li Chen left the study, he saw several girls.
The title "Boss, Brother Li, Boss" comes in various forms.
Zhang Hanyun, Dilraba Dilraba and Song Qian all have their own names.
"Director Zhang is here, let's go down together." Li Chen nodded and smiled.
“Has Hanyun gained weight again recently?”
Zhang Hanyun said awkwardly: “Boss, I gain weight even if I drink cold water. I don’t want to, but I will try my best to control it. ."
Li Chen's laughter was heard clearly by several people downstairs: "Actresses can't be too thin, because they don't look good."
"But they can't be too thin either. Being fat will ruin everything.”
What you say is unintentional, but what you hear is intentional.
“Are you talking about me, boss?” Tang Yan looked up at Li Chen who was walking downstairs and smiled.
Li Chen laughed loudly: "I am inoculating Qianqian. She, like Huoyun, has a specific hobby."
What kind of hobby is eating?
Everyone laughed and enjoyed themselves.
The banquet began, and Li Chen and Zhang Yimou sat across from each other.
On both sides of the long table, those closest to Li Chen were Liu Yifei and Yang Siwei.
Li Chen stood up and raised his glass.
“Let me first mention, thank you for choosing Rongchen Pictures.”
“This is just your starting point, not your end point.”
"Zhou Xun was the first to leave, and he will definitely not be the last." "We met by fate, and we have to get together and part ways after breaking up. I hope Zhou Xun will get better and better."
“Of course, not only is your career good, your relationship must also blossom and bear fruit. You can’t always be surrounded by thousands of flowers without even a leaf touching you.”
“Are you right?”
Zhou Xun was so embarrassed that he rolled his eyes at Li Chen and said nothing.
Everyone laughed and booed happily.
"Director Li is right. Brother Xun, my money is almost going moldy. Just be good and find someone to marry as soon as possible." Deng Chao yelled at the top of his voice.
"Sister Xun, please set an example for the younger sisters. If the eldest sister can't get out of the house, which one of us dares to walk into the church?" Yang Mi also looked affectionate with Zhou Xun.
Everyone says something to me, and Zhou Xun can still joke.
After a glass of wine, Zhou Xun also had something to say. He glanced at Li Chen and Liu Yifei and smiled.
"Actually, what I most want to marry is a man like Director Li."
"Unfortunately, there is only one Director Li in the world, and it belongs to Yifei. I can only search and search in the sea of people."
Everyone laughed, and Zhang Yimou couldn't help but smile.
Liu Yifei stared at Zhou Xun with a smile, and Li Chen also tilted his head and smiled at Zhou Xun's performance.
Yang Siwei even echoed: "Brother Xun is a real man of iron and blood, and he actually told the truth."
"Species like the boss are extinct on earth. Let's go to Mars to find them."
Yang Mi and Tang Yan also smiled and said: "That's right, senior, do you have any twin brothers? Tang Tang and I Tang is looking forward to it."
Liu Yifei immediately refused: "I told you two not to join in the fun. Do you want me to make an official announcement for you in front of Song Qian and the others?"
Chen Sicheng glanced at Yang Mi and thought to himself.
“It seems that the scandal between her and Hu Ge is true. She really did strike first!”
"But why don't I know who Tang Yan is with."
Tang Yan immediately begged for mercy: "Sissi, that's the boss that Mimi covets. I have always regarded the boss as my brother."
< br>"Take you as my sister-in-law!"
Tang Yan emphasized the word 'sister-in-law'.
Zhu Yawen rolled her eyes: "I'll go! Why didn't you say you were your brother-in-law!"
"Hahaha"
Zhou Xun quickly returned to the topic: "Hey, Jingjing, the joke is over, now it's time to tell the truth."
The scene gradually became quiet.
Zhou Xun corrected himself: "I, Zhou Xun, have had two noble people in my life, one is Lady Wan (Li Xiaowan), and the other is Director Li."
"Mrs. Wan will take me with you. Entering the circle, Director Li gave me the honor, and I sincerely thank Director Li for his guidance and success." Zhou Xun bowed deeply.
Li Chen smiled and waved his hands.
Zhou Xun smiled again, his style suddenly changed.
"I, Zhou Xun, will only say one thing today: I will never compete with Yifei from now on! But I beg Yifei not to forget me and my studio."
Everyone burst into laughter!
Liu Yifei glared at Zhou Xun fiercely and couldn't help but laugh herself.
Zhang Yimou had never known that the atmosphere inside Rongchen Pictures was so comfortable.
Zhang Yimou could not have imagined that his signing ceremony and welcome reception less than half a month later would make him even more emotional.
Leaving Zhang Weiping may be like what Li Chen said: a blessing in disguise.
“Damn it, Brother Xun understands people!”
“I, Sister Xun, are sober in the world. If you offend the boss, don’t offend the boss’s wife!”
"Sister Xun's words inspired the man in her dream!"
"Sister Yifei is mighty."
Chen Sicheng and Zhang Yi gave Zhou Xun a thumbs up.
Zhang Hanyun and Reba were like two quails, leaning forward and back with big eyes and smiles.
