Chapter 531 Special Award Presentation Guest
Merck had already inquired about the situation of Rong Chen Pictures, and naturally knew that Li Chen had no intention to go public for the time being.
This seemed a bit incredible to him.
Film and television companies not seeking to go public are simply walking a tightrope.
No one can guarantee that every movie or TV series you make will be a hit.
Even if you are not short of funds, you can still share the risks of listing.
But Rongchen Pictures is really a miracle, every production is making a profit.
Whether it is movies or TV series, even variety shows and music circles are equally profitable.
This is where Merck is puzzled.
This is also the direct reason why he is willing to pay a 50% premium to acquire the shares of Rongchen Pictures.
"That's great. I hope News Corporation and Rongchen Pictures can become inseparable partners in the future."
"If Director Li is not satisfied with the price, we can still negotiate."
< br>Merckdo didn’t bother much.
On the other hand, Wendi Deng did not act so forcefully. Instead, she acted as a new producer in the film industry and learned from Li Chen.
The few chatted for a few words before Li Congcheng and Quan Zhixian came up.
"Director Li, Sister Deng, Rupert, and Director Wang didn't bother you, right?" Li Zhengtong stepped forward and interrupted with a smile.
Li Chen, Wang Changtian and Rupert smiled and said nothing.
Deng Wendi held Li Congcheng's hand very intimately and glanced at Quan Zhixian and said: "You two came early."
"Of course, we can't have all the big names like you here. We little stars are still big stars, right?”
“You are still a little star, so are there any big stars in our country?”
"Sister Deng, I don't dare to say that, otherwise I will be denounced by the media and netizens tomorrow."
Deng Wendi chuckled and said: "Director Li, Director Wang, let me introduce to you two, this is South Korea Actor Jun Ji-hyun. "
"Last year he opened J&Co company as his own boss."
Deng Wendi knew the intention of the two when she saw Li Zhixian leading Jun Ji-xian.
If you are in this circle and don’t have any discernment or ambition, then marry an ordinary person and have children as soon as possible.
She admires the ambition of Li Zhixian and Quan Zhixian.
She is also this kind of person.
"Director Li, Director Wang, I am Quan Zhixian. It is an honor to meet you two." Quan Zhixian took a step forward, leaned forward and reached out his hand.
Wang Changtian looked on with a smile.
This brother of mine can be said to be a dream of a Southeast Asian female star, and everyone wants to do it.
The South Korean female artist was obviously excited.
Last year, South Korea’s CJ bought the rights to reshoot many movie copyrights from Jung Chen Pictures.
Commercial crime films such as "Wu Shuang" are CJ's favorites.
"Although I haven't watched Miss Quan's "Savage Girl", I often heard it mentioned by my classmates back then."
Li Chen smiled and took a look at this ordinary-looking man with light makeup. tall woman.
Her chest was ordinary, and compared to the dazzling looks of Fan Zhengtong and Zhang Yuqi today, this woman looked dull.
Jun Ji-hyun is overjoyed. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen it. What matters is that you have an impression.
If actors want to pursue globalization, the only way is the big screen.
There are only a handful of great directors, especially those who have won two box office awards internationally.
There are almost none in South Korea.
On the contrary, there are at least two people in China, and they are concentrated in one company.
Nowadays, any actor with ideas in South Korea would not want to get involved with Rongchen Films.
She is just the boss, so of course she aspires to open up the Chinese market and then go to Hollywood and the world.
“I didn’t expect that Director Li would also have an impression of the play ten years ago. I am really honored.”
“I have seen all your works, including your first film " "People on the Road", I especially like your "Thieves" and "Passengers". If I have the opportunity to audition for your film in the future, it will be a great honor."
Li Chen didn't expect this woman to follow the stick like this. "People on the Road" and "Thieves" both popped up.
Li Chen and Wang Changtian, who spoke like a machine gun with their small mouths, all laughed.
Especially when it was spoken in half-baked Mandarin.
Even Li Congcheng on the side glanced at this seemingly ordinary foreign friend with some surprise.
I am afraid this passage was not improvised, but rather prepared.
But thinking about Li Congchen, I felt relieved.
Compared with entering Hollywood, these South Korean artists hope to come to China more for development. To put it bluntly, they want to make money.
Use China as a seesaw to fly to Hollywood.
Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, and Director Li in front of them are naturally the favorites in the eyes of these people.
I am not the same.
"There is a chance to cooperate." Li Chen smiled and nodded.
Quan Zhixian immediately took out his company's business card from his handbag and handed it to Li Chen with both hands.
Hey guys, even the business cards are ready.
This scene has made many ambitious artists ready to take action.
Even if a foreign woman is so polite, what kind of reserve can they still hold on to?
Not to mention bending over, there is nothing to lose even if you go to bed.
“Xiao Quanmei, you hide it so deeply.” Li Zhixian looked at Quan Zhixian with a smile.
Jun Zhixian laughed and said: "How can this be called hiding? I am just performing in my true colors."
Manyu Cheung and Zhou Xun came together, which made many people eat. shock.
Even Li Chen was surprised.
"Why are you two here together?" Li Chen asked curiously.
Not long ago, Zhang Manyu came to work as a lobbyist and I didn’t hear that she was coming to the Shanghai Film Festival.
These two are not busy dating anymore
Zhou Xun glanced at Zhang Manyu and smiled: "We won't tell, you will know later."
Li Chen couldn’t figure out what Zhou Xun’s meeting meant. It wasn't until the moment before the "Outstanding Contribution to Chinese Film Award" was presented that Li Chen suddenly realized.
"The following is an important award for our opening ceremony: the Outstanding Contribution Award to Chinese Films."
"First of all, we would like to invite our special award guests: Miss Zhang Manyu and Miss Zhou Xun."
Not to mention Li Chen’s sudden realization, even the hundreds of filmmakers at the scene also realized it later.
It turns out that the two Venice Film Festival winners that Li Chen single-handedly awarded Li Chen with the Outstanding Contribution Award to Chinese Films were awarded to Li Chen. The organizing committee was really well-intentioned.
No matter how painful it is, it is not as painful as Feng Xiaogang’s heart in the audience at this moment.
Xu Fan sat next to her husband, holding one of her husband's hands tightly, saying nothing.
Feng Xiaogang looked stern, but he was shouting in his heart, it’s not Li Chen, that bastard!
This Chinese Outstanding Contribution Award will definitely not escape his grasp.
See you soon in our master forum!
Cheung Manyu and Zhou Xun are already on stage.
The "Wind" sisters were joking.
“Sister Yu, I think the Outstanding Contribution Award to Chinese Films should be awarded to you, the only Chinese actress with three gold medals in the world, who else but you!”
“ Well, I think so too. I will open the envelope later. If it is not me, I will refuse to award the award.” Awarded.”
The scene burst into laughter, and many people looked at Li Chen.
Zhou Xun and Zhang Manyu couldn't help but look at Li Chen with a smile.
Zhou Xun then slowly opened the envelope and pretended to be surprised: "Sister Yu, it's really not you."
"Really, if it's not me, who could it be?"
< br>"It's really not you, Sister Yu, but I'm afraid. We still have to award this award."
"Why? It's not me! I won't award it!"
"It won't work if you don't award it. If you really don't award it, I'm afraid someone will call you and me a white-eyed wolf on Weibo later."
There are already netizens in Sina's graphic live broadcast room who are extremely happy.
“The performance of these two Venice movie queens is really hard to distinguish between real and fake.”
“That’s right, Man Shen can refuse to give awards to anyone, but he will not refuse to give them to anyone. Xiao Lizi presented the award."
Maggie Cheung picked up the letter and looked at it, and suddenly said in despair: "Indeed, it won't work without awarding it."
The two returned to normal at the same time. Zhou Xun smiled and said: "Winner of the Outstanding Contribution Award for Chinese Films: Li Chen!"
"Congratulations to Director Li Chen!"
Live music sounded, approaching Three hundred filmmakers applauded.
At least most people think that Li Chen deserves this award.
In terms of awards, only Zhang Yimou can equal Li Chen.
In terms of box office, even Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang are not as good as Li Chen, who came after him.
Liu Yifei, who was following the live broadcast of pictures and texts, felt extremely happy for her husband.
"Li Chen won the award, why are you still keeping your mouth shut?" Liu Xiaoli asked curiously when her daughter looked obviously unhappy.
"Mom, if I hadn't been like this, at least I would be by his side right now, sharing his joy." Liu Yifei said unhappily, holding her belly in both hands.
Liu Xiaoli felt funny in her heart.
But if the due date was not approaching, it would be okay for his daughter to accompany him on the red carpet.
That year, the girlfriend of director Chen Kexin also accompanied Chen Kexin on the red carpet with a big belly.
Li Chen came on stage, and the two Venice film queens opened their arms and hugged Li Chen one by one.
“Congratulations, Director Li.”
“Thank you.”
"Congratulations, Li Chen."
"Thank you."
The applause and music faded away.
Li Chen holds the trophy, with Zhang Manyu and Zhou Xun standing next to him.
“Thank you to the organizer and the audience for recognizing me, and also thank the organizer for inviting these two uninvited guests.” Li Chen smiled and glanced at Zhang Tuesday.
The two of them were so amused by Li Chen's uninvited guest that they covered their mouths and chuckled.
“Of course, I also want to thank the General Administration and Director Han for their support in the general direction for us filmmakers.”
Feng Xiaogang grinned in the audience, secretly cursing Li Chen for really stepping on the horse. Be a good person.
Why didn’t I think of thanking the bureau’s leaders every time I won an award?
“Rongchen Pictures will continue to work hard, stay true to its original aspirations, and bring more and better movie-watching experiences to Chinese films and the broad audience.”
"Of course, Rongchen Pictures will also provide more outstanding actors with an international platform."
"I hope that in the next awards ceremony, in addition to these two uninvited guests, we will also see more special actors." Thank you for inviting guests.”
The eyes of countless actors at the scene lit up when they heard Li Chen’s words.
When he came off the stage, Zhou Xun smiled mischievously and said: "Director Li, are you surprised or not?"
Li Chen said funnyly: "If there is any surprise, you and I will see it. For several years.”
Zhou Xun was speechless and Zhang Manyu's shoulders shook slightly. There could be some ambiguity in what he said.
Sina Entertainment News
“On the evening of June 11, the 14th Shanghai International Film Festival grandly opened at the Shanghai Grand Theater.”
“Li Chen won the Chinese Film Festival Award. For the Outstanding Contribution to Film Award, the organizers specially invited two Venice movie queens, Maggie Cheung and Zhou Xun, to present the award to Li Chen as mysterious guests."
"Li Chen gave a speech to thank the audience for their recognition and Han Sanping and others for their support. , and spoke freely about not forgetting the original intention.”
Before returning to the hotel, Han Sanping called.
"You kid, your overall view is still passable. You are not greedy for merit. You are much better than old people like Feng Xiaogang."
Han Sanping is very satisfied. Even though Li Chen is younger, he is better than Li Chen. Feng Xiaogang is always compared with the association's old men who swear at each other.
It’s really unique.
