Chapter 521: Precursor of Collapse
After taking in 135 million at the box office in its first week, "The Invisible Guest" grossed 280 million at the box office in its two weeks of release.
North America and Europe have also begun to be released one after another.
Wang Changtian called and told Li Chen that another masterpiece of Guangguang's "Painting Wall" was scheduled to be released for the National Day.
"Painted Wall" was inspired by "Painted Skin". Wang Changtian was afraid that Li Chen would get bored, so he gave Li Chen a greeting in advance.
Some things seem to be destined, just like although Li Chen did not choose Chen Kun and Xiao Yanzi in "Painted Skin".
However, the Chen family still chose Chen Kun and Xiao Yanzi to star in "Painted Wall".
At the same time, another magical blockbuster scheduled for National Day release also released a stunning and "shocking" poster.
There is only one person on the top, bottom, left, right and right of the poster, and that is Jet Li, who was said to be a guest star at the beginning.
As for the white snake, if you don’t look carefully, you can’t even see the snake scales in the sea.
Netizens were shocked.
Even when the media reported on this blockbuster, they directly renamed the drama: "The Legend of White Snake: Fahai"!
Lu Zheng sent the invitation to the premiere of "Warring States" to Rongchen Pictures early.
Yang Siwei’s Yixin Media also received an invitation from Lu Zheng.
Jingtian also sent a special text message to Li Chen, asking him if he had time to attend the premiere of "Warring States" to be held in Beijing on the 6th next month.
Yang Siwei happened to visit the pregnant woman, so he brought a bunch of invitations over.
The Academy Awards, Shanghai Film Festival, Magnolia, and a lot of events and movie premieres.
“Boss, Mr. Lu seems to be in high spirits. The Warring States movie will be released simultaneously in North America and China on the 12th.”
“Three days in advance, Starlight’s vice president shouted out 300 million The slogan of the box office is quite reasonable, and it is always talking about 500 million."
Yang Siwei and Liu Yifei sat together, holding a tablet and pointing at Sun Honglei's promotional photo of "Warring States".
Both of them were happy.
The recent publicity for "Warring States" has been overwhelming.
With over a thousand special effects shots, it is known as the number one domestic blockbuster.
With an investment of 150 million, the gimmicks of Guo Degang's Zhou Tianzi and Kim Hee Sun's second female lead are not bad.
But what is most talked about is the plot of two big men, Sun Honglei and Wu Zhenyu, breaking their backs.
Even the film producers used this as a gimmick to promote the film.
Sun Honglei was very satisfied with his look and said bluntly: This is the Sun Bin in my heart.
Sun Honglei's shocking appearance seems to Li Chen to make up for the regrets of "Three Guns".
Both Liu Yifei and Yang Siwei saw Jingtian's awkward position.
Although she is in the C position on the poster, compared to the celebrity position, none of the other people on the poster is lower than her.
"Brother Li, are you really not going to attend the premiere?" Miss Liu suddenly imitated Jingtian's voice in a greasy voice, teasing her husband.
Yang Siwei lowered her head to hide her smile, but her slightly trembling shoulders exposed her weakness.
Li Chen had a firm attitude: "I won't go. Sister-in-law Li is pregnant and is about to give birth, and she can't live without people around her. I'm sorry."
"Yang Siwei, is it funny?"
"Ah? I'm not smiling, boss!" Yang Siwei's face immediately changed.
Miss Liu rolled her eyes at her husband and started chatting with Yang Siwei again: "I hope this drama goes well."
"Otherwise, Brother Li's little sister will have a hard time."
"How many good sisters do you have?" Miss Liu hummed this annoying song again.
Li Chen stood up and went upstairs for a quiet moment.
When a woman is pregnant, she will inevitably be suspicious, and gods are no exception.
The next weekend, Han Sanping was in charge and asked Li Chen to come out and sit down.
Li Chen went happily.
Ren Zhonglun came to Beijing for a meeting, and Han Sanping called him here.
Ren Zhonglun did not doubt that he was there, thinking that it was just a matter of contact and affection.
Halfway through the meal, Ren Zhonglun gradually came back to his senses.
Han Sanping and Li Chen talked about the major domestic film festivals and the three TV awards.
Speaking of Magnolia, Han Sanping said seemingly casually: "You kid, take the initiative to sign up for Magnolia for the first time."
"Don't be like the Golden Rooster. I won’t go there again!”
Li Chen said more casually: “That’s not possible. Director Ren is an old man from Wenguang. With him around, Magnolia will never become like the Golden Rooster.” “Come on, Ren. Dong, I’d like to propose a toast to you. I hope our Magnolia will get better and better.”
Ren Zhonglun belatedly raised his glass and touched it with Li Chen.
A few people chatted about "Meng Hua Lu". When talking about "Meng Hua Lu", Han Sanping also sighed and lamented that Li Chen did everything very impressively.
"Menghualu" has recently been exported to Japan, South Korea and Singapore, causing a cultural storm in Asia.
Especially the performance of the heroine Liu Yifei has been widely praised.
Her beauty and acting skills have been recognized by international audiences.
With the praise and support of the official media, "Menghualu" was collected by the National Edition Library. It was rated by 80,000 people on Douban, with a score of 8.5.
It can be said to be a double harvest in terms of word-of-mouth and ratings.
It wasn’t until the three of them left and Ren Zhonglun was on his way back that he realized that today’s meal was a double act between Han Sanping and Li Chen.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious, just for "Meng Hua Lu" and Liu Yifei to shine Magnolia.
If I can't do it myself, Rongchen Pictures' future projects, whether they are movies or TV series, may not be as big as their Shanghai Film and Tomato Channel.
After understanding this, Ren Zhonglun cursed in his heart: "You Han Sanping!"
After returning to Shanghai, Ren Zhonglun vented his anger on several senior executives of SMG.
"Old Ren, you also know that "The Happy Past of Lao Ma's Family", "Du Lala's Promotion", and "The Pride of the Sea" are all dramas invested by us."< br>
"The statement and Zhang Jiayi are also our contracted artists, and their acting skills are not to mention, and"
Ren Zhonglun interrupted without waiting for the other party to finish: "You I understand all of this.”
"But don't forget, this is Magnolia's first online voting, and Liu Yifei is far ahead in the number of votes."
"Also, the dramas of Noon and Rongchen Pictures must be produced by our Dragon TV. !”
“The most important thing is that “Menghualu” is exported to Southeast Asia, which is very important.”
“In this meeting, the General Administration also mentioned “Menghualu”. We should vigorously support this kind of high-quality drama series that spreads ancient traditional culture!"
Ren Zhonglun took a breath, and he suddenly reacted.
Could it be that the sudden roll call from the General Administration was also the result of Li Chen's efforts behind his back?
This guy really wants to flatter his wife, regardless of his expenses.
"The General Administration also called the roll?" The other party was shocked.
If Ren Zhonglun hadn’t made this call today, he would have made it clear what was at stake.
This year Magnolia has become a one-man show for SMG to entertain itself.
Beijing News
"Sun Honglei, the lead actor at the premiere of "Warring States" who "troubled himself", gave himself 20 points!"
"Yesterday, the premiere of the movie "Warring States" was held in Beijing. The male lead Sun Honglei led Jingtian, Jin Yishan, Wu Zhenyu, Nakai Kiichi and other leading actors to make a collective appearance. "
"Although director Jin Chen said that "Warring States" is a "smart blockbuster", the producer also released " "The box office is 300 million"."
"But the two leading actors are not very cooperative. Sun Honglei bluntly said that his performance was very poor, and he could only score 20 points at most!"
"Wu Zhenyu revealed that after taking the role, the script was changed again and again. Only when we arrived on the scene did we know that the female lead was Jingtian."
Li Chen did not come to the premiere of "Warring States", and Jingtian's disappointment was palpable. .
"Beauty Boss" didn't come, and neither did "Warring States".
Coupled with the on-site troubles caused by Sun Honglei and Wu Zhenyu, Jingtian felt that something bad was going on.
Wu Zhenyu actually said bluntly that he originally thought the starring role was Jin Xishan, but he didn't know it was Jingtian until he arrived at the scene. He didn't know Jingtian at all before.
Moreover, Wu Zhenyu also made a big splash in his remarks.
It is because "Warring States" gave him a very generous salary!
Lu Zheng was very angry and felt that he had been taken advantage of.
"Those who step on horses are feeding unfamiliar white-eyed wolves!" Jingtian was about to knock on the door when he heard his uncle's roar.
Jingtian was so frightened that he immediately backed down.
After returning to his room, Jingtian suddenly reacted.
Sun Honglei and Wu Zhenyu did what they did at today’s premiere and Brother Li didn’t come to the premiere. Is it because of the same reason?
The more Jingtian thought about it, the more frightened he became. He quickly picked up his cell phone and called Li Chen.
