Chapter 379: Avoiding the Thunderstorm Together
There are many ways for newcomers in the entertainment industry to become famous overnight.

There are three general operations.

1. Movies by great directors.

For example, Chen Jiajun, Wang Baoqiang in "Lost on Journey", and Huang Bo in "Crazy Stone".

For example, Star Girl Huang Shengyi, Mou Girl Zhang Ziyi, Dragon Girl and so on.

2. Popular variety shows
For example, "The Voice of China", "Super Girl" and so on.

Third, it is the hit drama series.

There were the early "Return of the Condor Heroes" and the later "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and of course idol dramas.

The TV series "Meteor Garden" was very popular in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau. If the General Administration had not stopped it in time, it would have been hard to tell how long the popularity would have lasted.

After many years, Mango vows to make a comeback.

"Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Together", which will be released to the general public in early August, has begun a roadshow promotion across the country.

Han Sanping acted arbitrarily and conveyed the bureau's intentions to Li Chen without allowing any room for negotiation.

"The Whistleblower" has been registered for Huabiao and Golden Rooster.

Old Han knew that Li Chen must be unhappy, so he moved out of Director Tong directly.

China Film Group is the producer, and according to the rules, it does have the right to register for the film festival.

What’s more, this year marks its 60th anniversary, and “The Whistleblower” is the only mainstream spy film starring all Chinese actors from across Taiwan, Mainland China and Hong Kong.

The film has achieved great success in both box office and reputation. If it does not participate in the Golden Rooster Awards, it will not only be embarrassing for the Golden Rooster, but also for China Film Group, one of the producers.

Why did Lao Han mention that all the people in "The Whistleblower" are of Chinese nationality?

The reason is the considerable nationality controversy sparked by "The Founding of a Republic" a few days ago.

In the end, it was the leaders of the relevant departments who stepped forward to calm the dispute.

Several leading actors, including Chen Shishi and Xu Qing, also spoke out urgently.

“I am not American, and never have been.”

"I have never been naturalized as a Japanese citizen. I have always been Chinese."

In comparison, "The Sound of Wind" is even more valuable.

Whether it is Zhang Manyu from Hong Kong Island or Su Youpeng from Taiwan, they are both authentic Chinese.

Hollywood Chiyou Pictures

"The Conjuring 2" and "Twilight 2" have been completed one after another.

But The Hunger Games has yet to start filming.

Some media in Hollywood have already speculated whether Crystal, the fiancée of Chiyou Pictures' big boss behind the scenes, will star in "The Hunger Games."

Tim was an insider and of course knew what the boss meant.

Fortunately, many Chinese-American netizens are not opposed to Crystal playing the female lead.

Someone even photoshopped the Golden Swallow in "The Forbidden Kingdom" into a photo of Katniss (the heroine of The Hunger Games) carrying a bow and arrows.

Even the author of the original novel spoke out, expressing the hope that Crystal could star in "The Hunger Games", and the voices of opposition suddenly died down.

There was a knock on the door.

"Boss, Warner Bros. thinks it's OK to release it now. The small amount of opposition online can be ignored."

Tim was smoking a cigar with an ugly capitalist face as he stood in front of the smooth and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down at the crowd of people downstairs who were as small as ants.

"It turns out that the easiest people to fool are the people. Obama can lead us, so what's the big deal about the boss lady starring in The Hunger Games?"

"There is a Chinese proverb: Money makes the world go round. Haha, that's really interesting."

Hangzhou
7+2 have gathered and are standing in front of Li Chen in an orderly manner, waiting for Li Chen to lecture them.

"Ya Wen, why did you become like this?"

"how?"

"So manly." Chen Qiaoen expressed her admiration in Taiwanese accent.

She really couldn't match the muscular Zhu Yawen in front of her with Wang Xiaojian.

"It's so annoying. What can I do? I have to do whatever the boss says." Zhu Yawen twisted her waist and pinched her throat as she spoke, as if she had turned back into Wang Xiaojian.

With his role as Wang Xiaojian, he has won the Most Popular Actor Award at the Beijing University Student Film Festival.

Soon, he found out why his boss wanted him to gain weight.

Deng Chao saw Li Chen, Yang Siwei, and Mr. Li from Blueberry TV and Guangxian coming together.

"Hey, hey, hey, Director Li and the others are here, everyone cheer up."

Everyone raised their heads, puffed out their chests and stuck out their buttocks exaggeratedly.

"This is 'Running Man', not 'Project A', relax." Li Chen walked up and said with a smile.

Everyone laughed too.

"Please give us some advice, Director Li." Everyone was chatting and laughing, and they were all in good spirits.

Li Chen waved his hand: "Why are you scolding me? Remember, this is a reality show."

"Why is the word 'real' in front? Throw away your image baggage, your image baggage of being an actor, an actress, or a good girl. The crazier you play, the more popular Running Man will be."

"It's all about helping the show become popular. The show has become popular, and for you, your appearance fees, endorsement fees, and film remuneration have skyrocketed."

Everyone laughed.

"Don't worry, Director Li. I'm really short of money."

"Go for the money, go for it!"

Zhang Hanyun was the one who was most reluctant to let go. He smiled and looked left and right, muttering to himself, "These brothers are so fierce."

Li Chen added: "After the real person is finished, it's time for the show."

"What is a show? Acting skills, singing voice, talent are all shows, temperament is also a show. Show openly, even if it is farting, it can be loud and clear."

Everyone laughed.

Zheng Kai thought, who dares to fart on a reality show? Normally, people don't dare to fart in front of outsiders.

Soon, everyone drove the vehicles provided by the sponsors and arrived at West Lake Square.

A fence has been set up at the scene, and nearly a thousand spectators have come to the event.

At this time, the square was full of middle-aged women dancing square dance.

The 9 people looked at each other, and all of them had a question in their minds: Are we going to do square dance?

Soon, the answer was revealed.

The first game caused the three teams to collapse.

Acupressure board relay game.

When Wang Zulan just took over and turned around, he was faced with a female warrior who weighed nearly 200 pounds. Wang Zulan suddenly felt dizzy and the famous scene from the first episode appeared.

No matter it was the audience outside, or the dozens of photographers and runners in the venue, they couldn't stop laughing.

Wang Zulan rushed forward with the weight, babbling exaggeratedly all the way.

Zhu Yawen even more exaggeratedly worshipped Director Li who was not far away.

"Thank you boss, thank you boss."

"Brother Yawen, I'm going to rely on you later. I, I, I can't carry anyone." Zhang Hanyun jumped up and down and screamed to cheer for his teammates.

I caught a glimpse of the boss by accident.

Seeing Li Chen giving her a thumbs up, she played more freely.

Finally he reached the end, but Wang Zulan's legs must have gone weak. He took a running start but failed to jump up and fell flat on his face. After that he made a weird pose with a big letter "Z".

The aunties who were dancing square dance and the audience were laughing so hard that they were bent over.

The deputy director of Blueberry Station on the sidelines was in an increasingly good mood.

Li Chen said to Yang Siwei and several other producers: "For this scene, when editing in post-production, just keep the large blue font and delete the deliberate movements in the beginning."

Yang Siwei and others nodded as they took notes.

The recording of "Running Man" is in full swing.

"Low IQ Crime" has also started casting.

At the same time, Red Star Wu also announced that Liu Yifei will return to the TV screen after many years and star in the ancient idol female inspirational drama "Dreams of Splendor" produced by Rongchen Pictures and Red Star Wu!
As soon as the news was released, it was immediately cheered by fans.

Many producers have also turned their attention to the former ratings queen.

The ancient puppet drama "Dreams of Splendor" has just been conceived, and the modern puppet drama "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Together" has already exploded.

Although the producers of this drama, which is known as the first idol drama in mainland China, held a sensational press conference to build momentum.

The press conference was held in the form of a graduation ceremony, with the director leading the five leading actors and the fresh faces of the drama to appear in Beijing in their best attire.

What’s even more exaggerated is that a delegation of teachers from ten major subjects, composed of experts from the film and television industry, business VIPs, entertainment elites and media talents, was specially invited to give scores to "Let’s Watch Meteor Shower Together" one by one.

In the end, the ten teachers gave a total of 99 high scores, and the remaining one point was left to the audience to evaluate.

This aroused the enthusiasm of the audience.

In addition, the producers repeatedly emphasized originality and rejected the label of copycat.

Some people also revealed that Yang Mi, Ah SA and Ariel Lin, who had refused to play the mainland version of Shancai, were regretting it very much.

How could Yang Mi tolerate this? She could tolerate it, but the bees couldn't.

However, the show hasn't even started airing yet, and everyone has already tried their hand at verbal sparring.

The bees are biting us because we already have snow lilies and they don’t want your weeds!
On the day of the premiere, Yang Mi and her agent Zeng Jia sat in front of the TV to watch the show.

The two of them were chatting and laughing.

Even the slight sadness of Liu Yifei's return to the small screen disappeared without a trace, and she was full of admiration for Li Chen for rejecting the invitation from the producer of "Meteor Shower" on her behalf.

"Senior is still a good judge of vision. Fortunately, I didn't act. This is too, too embarrassing. What kind of car do the mainland F4 drive? Even if you want to be low-key, you can learn from seniors and drive a Phaeton. At worst, a BMW X5 is acceptable."

"What kind of car is this? Is it worth a hundred thousand dollars?"

Zeng Jia also laughed and said, "It should be that the producers are afraid of angering the General Administration, so they made it weird. The distribution of Hua Ze Lei in the mainland is really..."

Zeng Jia didn't know how to describe it. The hairstyle of Hua Ze Rui from Taiwan became popular at that time and was called "Zi Zi Tou".

The non-mainstream artistic style of Duanmu Lei from the mainland is simply shocking.

Although the ratings for the first episode reached over 2, the word of mouth collapsed.

"We should invite them to watch the thunderstorm together. No wonder Leo didn't let Yang Mi play Chu Yuxuan. Even if you bring in Big S, she won't be able to handle this kind of scene."

"Help me, this is too eye-catching. The "H4" in the play is obviously a boy, but he is wearing a Blair-style lace "Lolita" outfit."

"The car you drive is just a domestically sponsored car worth tens of thousands of yuan. The car my mother uses to buy groceries is more luxurious than yours."

"Murong Yunhai's home is actually in a hotel. It seems that the director really wants to be luxurious, but the budget is limited. He tries his best to create a wealthy man, but it's really so tacky and rural!"

In addition to netizens, Yang Mi's fans Bee, Ariel Lin, and Asa's fans also fought back relentlessly.

"I would like to thank the producers for sparing my Mimi's life. I will not comment on this without words of thanks."

"Thank you Mango TV, thank you Tianyu, on behalf of the Ah SA fan club, I want to thank you for not killing me."

"Thank God, thank the earth, we escaped the thunderstorm together."

Although the reputation of the show collapsed, the ratings continued to rise. People were cursing the show enthusiastically, but at the same time they continued to watch it and enjoy it.

It is undeniable that it can be tolerated as a comedy. Moreover, the collapse of word of mouth and the high ratings made several leading actors famous overnight.

Naturally, the media would not let Li Chen go. It was unknown whether he had foresight or some other intention when he rejected the invitation on behalf of Yang Mi.

But it is hard not to think too much when Liu Yifei announced her return to the small screen at this time.

One is an ancient puppet show, the other is a modern puppet show. The deep meaning behind them is hard to avoid people's guess.

The press conference for "Dream of Red Mansions" attended by Li Chen and Liu Yifei was more like a media annual meeting.

The press conference of "Crossing the Guandong" is still vivid in my mind. Dae Jang Geum went back to where she came from in shame.

Will the current "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Together" also be criticized by this sharp-tongued, double-gold director?
