Chapter 499: Rushing to give out red envelopes
"Chill" and "If You Are the One 2" were released on the same day, both scheduled for the winter solstice.
Both sides refused to give in, and Andy Lau was caught between Huayi and Rongchen Pictures and could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Wang Zhonglei complained to him that Li Chen was too domineering.
In the past six months, Rongchen Pictures has almost been fighting head-on with Huayi Yueyue.
He Rongchen Pictures doesn't care, but Huayi is a listed company, and the box office is directly related to the stock price.
Liu Dehua could only pretend to be stupid: "Although Yingyi Entertainment is also the producer."
"But the big head is with Rongchen Pictures, and Li Chen has decided on the schedule, so there is nothing I can do."
Wang Zhonglei really couldn't figure it out: "Hua Zai, the Lunar New Year festival is Xiaogang's home field, and it is the comedy theme that Xiaogang is best at, as well as the audience base of "Fei Cheng 1"."
" Li Chen is really not afraid of losing?”
Liu Dehua laughed and said: "I have never seen him lose to anyone. I have said this about Zhou Xingchi before."
"But he even defeated Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu". Instead of worrying about him losing, It's better to pray that he won't win a few times."
Wang Zhonglei was completely speechless now, which made Liu Dehua feel excited.
What Li Chen didn’t expect was that it was because of himself.
The 2010 box office target of tens of billions set by the General Administration was achieved ahead of schedule before the Lunar New Year holiday.
Han Sanping called, his tone full of sadness.
"Director Tong said that I will give you an award for the best contribution."
Li Chen just wanted to laugh: "Forget the award, leaders know better than anything else. "
Han Sanping nodded: "Don't worry, no one can erase what you have done."
With Han Sanping's character, the news was announced to the public the next day. .
Sina Entertainment News
"Han Sanping, the head of China Film and Television, who has just completed "The Founding of the Party," announced today that the 10 billion box office target for Chinese films this year has been achieved ahead of schedule, and is expected to reach 12 billion by the end of the year."
< br>Netizens commented: The goal of tens of billions was achieved ahead of schedule, and Leo is indispensable.
Sina Music Report
“The nomination list for the 53rd Grammy Music Awards was announced on December 1, local time, with Deng Ziqi’s “Try”, Eminem and Rihanna’s duet The single "Love the Way You Lie", popular country group Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now", Jay-Z and Licia Keys' single "Empire State of Mind" and Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" are on the list."
"This year's Best Single of the Year will cause unprecedented excitement. Every music fan will think that there are many popular singles in the European and American music scene this year, especially "Try" by Chinese singer Deng Ziqi, which once dominated the Billboard singles list. Chart for three weeks!”
Li Chen glanced at this year’s Grammy Awards and saw that there were really many strong players.
He has never heard of these singles except "Empire State of Mind".
He has listened to the rest, especially the two songs by Rihanna and Lady Gaga.
Whether Deng Ziqi can finally win the Grammy depends on the strength of Warner.
But I just happened to take advantage of Ms. Liu’s pregnancy to play around with some of her favorite English songs.
Let Little Big Lung completely ignite the Chinese storm in Europe and the United States.
What Li Chen saw was the strength of the nominated single, but what domestic singers and fans saw was envy.
“Deng Ziqi’s opponents are Rihanna and Lady Gaga!”
“Sure enough, if the platform is higher, the starting point will be a big step higher than others!”
The premieres of Zhao Benxuan's "Laughing in the River" and Chen Kaige's "The Orphan of Zhao" were held in Beijing one after another.
When Li Chen returned to Beijing, he heard that the former's premiere was calm and breezy, and that he and Zhu Yanping frequently made famous quotes.
Master and Apprentice Zhao Benxian plus Zeng Zhiwei and Wu Zongxian are known as F4 in the comedy industry.
Zhao Benxiang even laughed and said that the three Ge You are not scary, and they Northeasterners are not afraid of "cold" war!
He asked his apprentice Cheng Ye to deal with Ge You, Xiao Shenyang to deal with Jiang Wen, and he to deal with Feng Xiaogang.
And Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui were left to Zeng Zhiwei and Wu Zongxian to deal with them.
Not to mention the premiere of Chen Kaige's "The Orphan of Zhao".
Director Kai Ge's style has always been that premieres are more interesting than movies.
Of course, Mr. Ge also has another style, which is to express his love for Chen Hong at the premiere.
The premiere of "The Promise" that year started with the sentence "In this world, I am most obsessed with two things - my obsession with "The Promise" that I filmed with Chen Hong, and my obsession with Chen Hong." The audience was trembling with goosebumps all over the place.
Mr. Ge was completely immersed in the romantic atmosphere he created.
It fully proves that sentence, as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
This time is no exception.
The sentence "Holding my hand and growing old together" almost made Chen Hong burst into tears.
Director Kai Ge seemed to be worried that some viewers would not understand the meaning of these words, so he hurriedly explained: "It means to live a good life with her."
Chen Hong comforted her husband in turn, hoping that he would not be anxious or put too much pressure on himself. No matter what others think of the movie, they tried their best during the filming process.
If I don’t say that Chen Hong is not simple, he seems to have foreseen the old baby’s attack in advance.
Various theaters are also optimistic about Director Chen's "Orphan", and they all predict that it will start at least 300 million.
Another 300 million. It seems that 300 million has become an impossible task for Director Chen.
On the 3rd, "Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes" took the lead in launching the Lunar New Year show.
The theater chain is also supportive, giving a 60% film scheduling rate. On the first day, it is the F4 in the comedy circles of the three places across the Taiwan Strait!
The box office was quite good, 20 million on the first day, but the reputation was hard to describe.
"Little Shenyang has gained a lot of weight. I can't call him Little Shenyang. It's time to change my name to Little Sheep. My classmate Xiao Shenyang... her acting skills will always remain in Errenzhuan."
"I went to see it in the afternoon. The moment I sat down in the theater, I still felt a little sleepy while watching "The Big Bang". It's not blasphemous to art, but it's really not very artistic." "I watched these fake movies after watching Zhou Xingchi. Those literati who are nonsensical and dare not criticize the current ills, you are so tired, you might as well go to bed.”
The next day, "The Orphan of Zhao" hit the theaters overwhelmingly.
The attendance rate on the first day is said to be 80%, and even the imported film "Haha 7" is no match. This is the appearance of a great director.
Jiang Wen called: "You are not in Beijing for the premieres of "Laughing" and "Orphan". If you don't go, you won't go."
"My "Bullet" You have no reason not to come."
Li Chen said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will have a vicious tongue?"
Jiang Wen laughed loudly: "You sang "Bullet" repeatedly before. If you want to slap yourself in the face, I will happily accompany you."
"It's best to bring Yifei with you. I haven't seen her for a long time. Don't tell me that I still miss her."
"Fuck you, my wife doesn't need you to think about it."
"Hahaha, let's just say, don't be late the day after tomorrow. !"
"Laughing in the River" defeated the imported film "Ha 7" and director Chen's "Orphan" to win the box office championship next week with 60 million.
"Orphan" followed with 51 million in the two weekends, but starting at 300 million is obviously a joke.
On the 6th, Jiang Wen's "Bullet" held its grand world premiere at the Beijing Olympic Sports Center.
The red carpet lineup is no worse than the film festival.
Chenglong and Yang Shoucheng, who were filming "Chinese Police" in Beijing, appeared together.
Li Chen and Feng Xiaogang, both competitors in the Lunar New Year stalls, also came to support them.
The eldest brother Long has become more and more prominent in the mainland in the past two years.
Firstly, because the eldest brother Long sits with his butt upright, so he is not at a disadvantage.
The second eldest brother Long is an extremely smart person.
If I hadn’t gone to Hollywood, how could I have become an international superstar.
After "Hero", he quickly focused on the mainland. Not many people have this vision.
In Hong Kong Island, few people call him Big Brother.
On the contrary, there are many people who call him big brother, such as Hong Jinbao.
It is Liu Dehua and other Hong Kong people who are much younger than Cheng Long who call him by his first name.
But when mainland actors and movie fans mention the title "big brother", there is only one person named Chenglong.
Jiang Wen was naturally happy to see Li Chen coming.
"You, Li Jiuyi, are finally here. I thought you didn't dare to come." Jiang Wen, Han Sanping, Chenglong, and Yang Shoucheng stood together.
There are no actors around who can help.
"If you don't welcome me, I'll leave first." Li Chen greeted Lao Han and Chenglong.
Jiang Wen quickly grabbed Li Chen, really afraid that Li Chen would turn around and leave.
As soon as the media saw Li Chen and Jiang Wen, two people who were not afraid of trouble, gathering together, they immediately surrounded them.
Jiang Wen had been waiting for this moment, when he and Li Chen were complimenting each other in front of the media.
The media asked Jiang Wen to predict the box office of "Bullet".
Jiang Wenxiao laughed and said: "When it comes to predicting the box office, who else can be more suitable besides him, Li Jiuyi."
Li Chen also picked up the conversation and said with a smile: "I don't want to do it again. Predicting the box office, I have said before that 500 million is not difficult. What else should I predict? Commercial films are the market trend."
"Jiang Wen followed the trend and made his commercial debut, and three major movie stars joined him. It’s hard to lose money.”
Li Chen's few words made Jiang Wen, Yang Shoucheng and others elated.
“The Lunar New Year festival will become more and more exciting in the future. It will no longer be the home venue, and the audience will have more and more choices. This is only good for our Chinese films.”
Han Sanping He nodded frequently: "Yes, what Li Chen said is also what I want to say."
Jiang Wen laughed loudly: "I can lend you auspicious words and I will give you a red envelope if the box office exceeds 500 million."
Yang Shoucheng also came to join in the fun: "No need for Director Jiang to dig into his pocket. The box office has exceeded 500 million. I will give Director Li a big red envelope."
Li Chen glanced at Yangshoucheng. Yangshoucheng was smiling, and it was self-evident what he meant.
The "Ip Man" series has made a lot of money, so a red envelope is nothing.
As long as "Ip Man 4" can still bring them Ying Huang, everything will be okay.
Moreover, Cai Shaofen was recently pregnant, and Yang Shoucheng’s intention was to take Gillian’s place.
It is almost impossible for Gillian and Zhang Baizhi to return to the top.
Recently, it was reported that Zhang Baizhi will appear in the Year of the Rabbit Spring Festival Gala, with Xie Tingfeng and his son in a family carnival.
Unknown to outsiders, Li Chen still doesn’t know the secrets here.
It’s nothing more than building momentum.
How could the Spring Festival Gala allow you, a black fungus, to appear on stage?
“Forget it, I haven’t done anything, I’m just collecting red envelopes, I don’t get rewarded for my efforts, and if unfortunately I’m right, people will come to me to estimate the box office and I won’t be able to make movies anymore.”< br>
Jiang Wen laughed loudly: "Then I hope you will be right."
Jiang Wen wanted to be the peacemaker between Li Chen and Feng Xiaogang.
But neither of them gave him face, and neither of them paid attention to the other.
