Shancheng Morning News
“On the evening of the 6th, Jiang Wen’s new film “Let the Bullets Fly” held its world premiere at the Beijing Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium. "
"The film was exposed for the first time in front of thousands of guests and audiences. During the two-hour screening, there was applause about 10 times, and the large audience laughed at least 20 times."
"In several scenes such as "Zhang Mu's Fake Death", "Three Heroes' Banquet at Hongmen", and "Rainy Night Brawl", the audience spontaneously applauded for the wonderful plots and dialogues."
"After the screening, there was a long queue in front of the toilet, which really confirmed the previous saying of "no peeing spots"."

"By Andy Lau, Liang Jiahui, Qin Hailu, Tang Wei "Cold War", a Hong Kong police film starring Li Zhiting and others, will be released on December 22. "
"A few days ago, Rongchen Pictures released a 90-second final trailer, showing the film's story line and character relationships. "
"Director Liu Weiqiang said that "Chilling" is a "three-high" police film with "high quality", "high IQ" and "high standard", no less than "Warrior"!
Xinmin Evening News
“The New Year movie "If You Are the One 2" will be released on December 22, the same day as "Chill"."
"Yesterday the crew announced the "Love Column" opened by the film's creative staff. Director Feng Xiaogang and leading actors Ge You, Shu Qi, Sun Honglei, Yao Chen and others explained their respective views on love and marriage to the audience through behind-the-scenes footage. "
Three domestic New Year dramas are in chaos, each with their own unique tricks.
Especially Jiang Wen's "Bullet", the lines in it can be described in one sentence: very pornographic and violent.
The scene of touching breasts and exposing breasts is unprecedented.
The plot of "Charlotte" that I just painted, in which she beats the teacher, pales in comparison to this.
It can only be said to be a miracle that "Bullet" passed the review.
Li Chen can imagine that "Bullet" will definitely receive a lot of criticism after its release.
Many people in the industry lamented that this is how great directors are treated.
Before there was "Charlotte" and after that there was "Bullets Flying".
If it were a small director from an unknown small company, the script would have been beaten to death with a stick.
Li Chen also met Nolan in the United States.
Nolan's brother started writing "Interstellar" in 2007, and the script took shape in three years.
Nolan hopes to fulfill his promise to Li Chen quickly.
Otherwise, there may not be a schedule in the next few years.
Li Chen asked Nolan to direct "Barbie", and Nolan only hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing.
Although the subject matter is not his specialty, he likes to challenge new things the most.
After talking about business, Li Chen asked about "Interstellar" again.
The current "Interstellar" still uses the name "Flora's Letter".
"Nolan, I heard that your old club, Legend, parted ways with Warner Bros.? Can Chi You have a hand in the investment in "Flora's Letter"?"
"I know your film is not short of investment. "
Nolan smiled bitterly and said: "Li, you really gave me a problem."
Li Chen didn't ask him to film "Barbie" for free just now. He agreed to it when he made a bet. If Li Chen's "Batman" exceeds 500 million US dollars, he will help Li Chen film a movie for free.
Now Li Chen has promised to give him a salary of 20 million US dollars, which is equivalent to giving him 20 million US dollars.
Now when I asked him to invest in "Flora's Letter", it was really hard for him to refuse.
In fact, he can't make the decision at all.
"Li, since you have spoken, let me give you a suggestion. Warner is a shareholder of Chi You. As long as Warner has no objection, of course I have no objection."
Li Chen nodded: " It's very reasonable. I asked Tim to communicate with the people at Warner, I believe they will not refuse."
"Nolan, I just got married, should your friend express it?"
Nolan smiled and said: "Of course, I have already prepared gifts for you and Crystal."
"You don't understand what I mean. Do you think Crystal will play Flora in "Letter to Flora" How?"
Nolan was stunned for a moment before laughing: "Li, you are too greedy."
"Okay, as long as you can convince Warner to get the share, then I will. The director cannot refuse the producer's request."
Li Chen nodded, very satisfied with Nolan's attitude.
This play will take at least two to three years to prepare. By then, his and Ms. Liu's children will be able to walk.
Today, Ms. Liu, after starring in three major dramas such as "Thieves", "King of Kung Fu" and "Inception", her salary is the same as Zhang Ziyi's, 5 million US dollars.
I believe there will be an increase once "The Hunger Games" is released next year.
Li Chen explained to Tim and asked him to negotiate with Warner. The bigger the share, the better.
Warner has made a lot of money on himself in the past two years. I will definitely not be separated from myself just because of a drama.
What’s more, Warner is also Chi You’s major shareholder, so whoever invests is not a shareholder.
Li Chen returned to China and continued to intensively film "The Invisible Guest". Wang Xueqi, Huang Xiaoming and Li Lichen felt a little uncomfortable seeing Li Chen again.
"What's wrong? We just haven't seen each other for a week, so we don't know each other anymore?" Li Chen said funny.
The three of them all laughed. Wang Xueqi smiled and said: "Everyone knew you were a rich man before, but no one knew how rich you were."
"Now at least I know a rough idea, 20 billion, tsk tsk, I can't imagine how much it is." Wang Xueqi sighed.
Li Congtong also smiled and said: "Teacher Wang is so right. Director Li, let's gossip. I'm afraid your net worth is more than 20 billion, right?"
Huang Xiaoming also said: "Let's not Asked, I really want to be It's a blow."
At this time, Li Chen couldn't help but show off, shook his head and said with a smile: "I have no idea about money now, just spend enough."
One sentence. The three people who spoke were speechless.
Is your net worth enough to spend money on? Then we really become beggars.
"The Orphan of Zhao" was released for four days, and the box office did not exceed 100 million.
Word-of-mouth also has a lot of flaws, and the most criticized one is that it starts but ends.
Originally, the box office in the first week was overshadowed by Uncle Ben Xian's "Laughing Out Loud", but a video revealed that "Orphan" stole the box office of "Laughing Out".
At this time, Director Chen suffered serious internal injuries.
"Hong, they went too far!"
"It's just that it didn't do well at the box office, but they still said "Orphan" was half a good show!"
"Now they are saying that "Orphan" was stolen A farce starring a duo of actors hits the box office!”
“This is an insult, the biggest insult to me!”
“When did I, the Palme d’Or, become a robber?”
Chen Hong felt tired for a while, as the so-called vigorous efforts were exhausted again and again.
After experiencing the baptism of "The Promise", "Mei Lanfang" and "Orphan", Chen Hong has really seen a reality clearly.
As a husband, I’m afraid he has no chance at the box office.
That’s why she comforted the old baby at the premiere and just try your best.
"Okay, okay, then let's take legal channels to protect our rights. Don't be angry." Chen Hong said gently.
Chen Kaige's chest was rising and falling, and among the leading actors, only Fan Zhengtong and the young actor who played the role of the orphan were left to accompany him on the road these days.
Made him feel even more miserable.
What Li Chen didn’t expect was that people who wanted to vote for “Thirteen Hairpins” were not only from the film and television industry, but also from the financial industry.
It seems that Lao Mouzi’s business card is really a killer.
Yang Siwei reported to Li Chen and finally decided on thirteen investors, which corresponded to Thirteen Hairpins.
Bona, Pony, Huayi, and Yinghuang accounted for the majority, followed closely by China Film and Shanghai Film.
Wang Zhonglei always had a vague feeling of uneasiness.
Rongchen Pictures actually allowed Huayi to invest in Zhang Yimou.
"Brother, there can't be any fraud, right?"
"What kind of fraud can there be? Thirteen companies including Rongchen Pictures, who are you cheating on in black and white?"
"He, Li Chen, is just after fame. If he has money, everyone can make it. He immediately compares himself to Zhang Weiping, who is living alone."
"Besides, he is not short of money now."
Wang Zhongjun The analysis was clear and logical, which made Wang Zhonglei feel at ease.
"In this case, there is no need for us to continue fighting with him."
"At the premiere of "Cold War", we brothers were more generous and went to cheer for Andy and him. ”
The choice of male lead in "Thirteen Hairpins" has attracted much attention from the outside world.
Various speculations are flying on the Internet, and some say it belongs to Leonardo.
Zhang Yimou found Li Chen. In fact, Zhang Yimou didn’t need to tell him. Nolan had already told Li Chen.
Zhang Yimou decided on Batman early on.
Earlier Zhang Weiping wanted to find Leonardo, but when he heard Leon’s jumping price, he immediately wanted to jump off the building.
At that time, Er Zhang was very envious of Li Chen's wealth, so he invited Leon to act in "Inception" and promised to give Leon a share.
