Chapter 380: The Stormy Press Conference
Before the press conference even started, the media and netizens were already speculating about the director and leading male lead of the ancient idol drama "Tokyo Dreams of Splendor".

Some people say that the male lead must be Li Chen, while others say that both the male lead and the director are Li Chen.

Anyway, there is anything to say.

The producers of another "Meteor Shower" movie are still trying to defend themselves, which may be a way for the producers to continue the topic.

Sometimes they say it's not that they can't afford to buy some luxury cars like Lamborghini and Ferrari, but they are afraid that if they do, it will appear as a show of wealth and the bureau may not approve it.

Then he said that we should be more tolerant of domestic idol dramas.

In a word, the production level of "Meteor Shower" is definitely the best among domestic idol dramas. Don't compare us with Japan and South Korea.

In Li Chen's villa, Liu Yifei was happily changing dresses, which dazzled Li Chen.

"This one looks good, or this one."

Liu Yifei pointed to a black and white tube top dress and a V-neck light yellow striped business suit and asked Li Chen to appreciate them.

Li Chen pinched his chin and looked at them: "Which one do you think looks good?"

Liu Yifei glared at her fiancé.

She mischievously picked the black and white tube top dress which was not her favorite.

In the past, Li Chen always chose the same clothes as his mother when attending events.

Let me choose first, no matter which one I chose, the two of them just passed my choice directly, just like using the elimination process to answer multiple-choice questions.

Unexpectedly, this time Li Chen nodded and said, "That's good news. Let's take this one."

Liu Yifei wanted to cry but had no tears. She sat on Li Chen's lap and said, "Look carefully, this is what I chose!"

"That's right, this is it." Li Chen said firmly.

Liu Yifei had a complicated expression, feeling aggrieved and depressed.

But who knew that the man didn't notice at all, his eyes were only staring at the snow-white skin that was vaguely visible on her chest.

Li Chen gently sniffed the fragrance lingering on his fiancée's chest, and suddenly felt a little distracted.

Before he could make a move, Liu Yifei pushed his head away and snorted, "I changed my mind. I want to wear this professional suit."

Li Chen laughed: "It's up to you, it's just a press conference, not a red carpet walk, no one will compete with you, and no one can win over you."

Liu Yifei then smiled: "That's pretty good."

"At today's press conference, please be gentle with your words and don't embarrass others."

Her fiancé knew that he would definitely embarrass others at today's press conference.

She also watched the movie "Meteor Shower", which indeed had a strong sense of copycat and lacked any sincerity.

Upon learning that she was going to return to the small screen, Zhang Da Huzi immediately contacted her mother.

I hope she can participate in his new "Journey to the West", but unfortunately Ms. Liu gave it to Li Chen with a wave of Tai Chi.

"Director Zhang, you know that Li Chen has the final say on Xixi's agency contract now, and I, as a mother, am happy to be a hands-off boss."

Zhang Da Huzi refused to give up and released a smoke bomb in March this year.

The new "Journey to the West" will be starred by Huang Xiaoming, Liu Yifei and Fan Qiaoqiao.

However, none of the three responded directly to the bearded man.

Liu Yifei also asked Li Chen not to respond, and Red Star House would be vague about it, after all, she had played in two Jin Yong dramas with a bearded man.

Liu's mother had already informed Li Chen in advance, and Zhang Da Huzi would definitely call him.

Let him think about what to say, and even if he refuses, don't hurt the relationship.

Li Chen assured her.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Liu Yifei sat next to Li Chen: "Hurry up and talk to Teacher Zhang. Don't be rude to him."

Li Chen picked up the phone reluctantly.

"Director Zhang, Yifei's schedule is already scheduled until the end of next year, and I really can't spare the time."

"Director Li, don't tell lies in front of real people."

"It's not that I can't make time, but I'm afraid you think my temple is too small, right?"

Li Chen cursed in his heart, thinking that his experience was too inexperienced. Why didn't he have the shamelessness of Big Beard?

"Haha, what are you talking about, Director Zhang?"

"How about this, if Huang Xiaoming and Fan Qiaoqiao perform, then Yifei can come as well, how about that?"

Liu Yifei laughed when she heard it, and then quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

Zhang Da Huzi paused. He didn't expect that Li Chen would give him another difficult problem.

The implication of this statement is that Yifei is now a top domestic celebrity, just like Huang Xiaoming and Fan Qiaoqiao.

Since you have announced it to the public, three people will come to perform your Journey to the West.

Then don’t let my Yifei come alone in the end.

Zhang Da Huzi was silent for a long while, then he gritted his teeth and said: Okay, it’s a deal!

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei put her arms around Li Chen's neck, sat on his lap, gently tapped his forehead, and said coquettishly, "How could you be so mean! Teacher Zhang must be so angry that he's blowing his beard and glaring."

Li Chen put his arm around her waist and said, "Didn't I promise him? If he can't invite Huang Xiaoming and Fan Qiaoqiao, it's not my fault."

Li Chen snorted in his heart: "I don't believe that this bearded man will have the nerve to use Xixi to do things in the future!"

With a beautiful woman in his arms, Li Chen was not Liu Xiahui. He immediately took action and moved closer.

"woo"

Liu Yifei hit Li Chen, but the action was so light that it was almost like tickling.

In a few seconds, she closed her eyes and melted into the man's tender attack.

Li Chen couldn't help rubbing his fiancée's breasts.

Miss Liu left a row of teeth marks on the man's shoulder.

Thinking of the embarrassing koala pose just now, she was really embarrassed.
Ever since the two of them confirmed their relationship.

The two of them were like they had unlocked a new skill, no, she was forced!

At 17 p.m., the two appeared radiantly at the press conference of "Tokyo Dreams".

Sina will provide exclusive live text and picture coverage of the entire press conference.

The media had been looking forward to it for a long time, but they saw that Li Chen did not go hand in hand with his wife like the Wen Zhang couple who have been showing off their love recently.

If they hold each other a little less, it would be as if they are not a couple.

Instead, he walked side by side with his fiancée, gracefully pulled out a chair for her, and then sat down.

The media reporters were in a frenzy, and the cameras and flashlights in the hands of the cameramen were flashing.

Li Chen and Liu Yifei waved and greeted the media.

The media have too many questions to ask Li Chen.

Like the recent rumor in Hollywood that Liu Yifei will star in "The Hunger Games", is it true?

Who directs and stars in "Dreams of Splendor"?
How come Liu Yifei suddenly returned to the small screen?

"The Voice of China" has surpassed "Super Girls" to lead the national variety show schedule. What does he, as the founder, feel about it?

It is difficult to see Li Chen normally, so it is useless to wait for him in Jinxiu Mingzuan.

Li Chen seldom works in the company unless he has something to do.

To the extent that, whenever Li Chen appeared, reporters would swarm in like young swallows returning to their nests.

Yang Siwei was still filming "Running Man", and Yu Miao held the press conference at Wangfu Hotel.

Soon, Yu Miao got the order and began to allow reporters to ask questions. "Director Li, will Yifei star in The Hunger Games?"

At the outset, the reporter covering Chinese films got straight to the point.

Liu Yifei kept smiling. Even though she knew it, she couldn't admit it at the moment. If she did, there would be no suspense.

"All information is subject to the announcement on the official website of Chiyou Pictures. Today is the press conference for "Tokyo Dream Records."

"I hope that media friends will ask more questions about "Dreams of the East". I will answer other questions as appropriate after the press conference."

One of the reporters in the audience laughed and said, "Director Li, you can't play Tai Chi with us this time. Let's go find Mr. Yang."

Li Chen laughed and said, "No, no comment is also the answer."

Liu Yifei and the media all laughed. She liked Li Chen's humor and calmness.

Every time he faced tricky questions from the media, he was able to resolve the issue with ease.

The reporter from Sina raised his hand and asked, "Yifei, will you take on any other roles when you return to the small screen this time?"

The reporters had already discussed it and directed their firepower at Liu Yifei. Li Chen was too smooth.

He is best at Tai Chi Push Hands, and the questions he doesn't want to answer are all about one push, four, five, and six.

Liu Yifei glanced at Li Chen and said with a smile: "Of course, but the prerequisite is that the script must satisfy him."

The media burst into laughter.

"Yifei, this is the husband singing and the wife following, right?"

"Doesn't Director Li usually listen to you?"

Li Chen said jokingly, "She listens to me about matters in the entertainment industry."

"I basically listen to her about everything outside the entertainment industry."

The reporters got the answers they wanted, and the investors who watched the live broadcast also obtained useful information.

That is, Liu Yifei will choose to take on external roles, but only if Director Li is in charge.

"Director Li, is "Tokyo Dream Record" a competition for "Let's Go Watch Meteor Shower"? As both are idol dramas, what do you think are the advantages of "Tokyo Dream Record"?"

Li Chen glanced at the reporter from Southern Metropolis Daily. This question was indeed very tricky.

"First of all, the quality of the dramas produced by Rongchen Pictures is well-known, including "Soldier Assault", "Leader" and the upcoming "Snow Leopard"!"

Snow Leopard? How come I haven’t heard of it? Not only the media were confused, but also the netizens in the live broadcast room were confused.

As expected, when Li Chen is around, there is big news.

"As for the advantages, there are too many. 'Dream of the Red Chamber' is my adaptation of 'Zhao Pan'er's Fengyue Jiufengchen'. It is an authentic and original adaptation."

"It's not something that a knockoff idol drama can compare to."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene and netizens were even more excited.

Liu Yifei sighed in her heart and glanced at her fiancé beside her: I knew this would be the result.

The thing that Mango TV and Tianyu, who were watching the live broadcast at this moment, were most worried about still happened.

The Blueberry Channel was filled with joy. This reporter from Southern Metropolis Daily was indeed obedient!
"Director Li, is the knockoff idol drama you're talking about Meteor Shower?"

Li Chen smiled and said, "Whether it is true or not, you can try it yourself. I will just tell you three points."

"First, F4 and H4, which came first, F or H?"

The reporters laughed secretly. Li Chen's ideas were really unique.

"Second, from the beginning of the project, the mainland version of Meteor Garden has been one of the producers' marketing strategies."

"Otherwise, how could the young leading actors have received so much attention and become such a hot topic?"

The media were whispering and discussing the matter, and netizens suddenly realized the truth and left many messages.

"Leo, an industry insider, is the one who sees things clearly."

"That's right, she's a bitch and she's trying to be a saint. She took advantage of the profits from Meteor Garden and she's trying to distance herself from it. Where's her dignity?"

"If you have the guts, change your name to Thunderstorm. If others are calling it Meteor Garden, you're calling it Meteor Shower!"

After the scene quieted down, Li Chen continued.

"Third, it is nonsense to say that the General Administration would refuse to approve luxury cars like Lamborghini and Ferrari."

"Cheap new actors are equivalent to low cost, but they insert messy advertisements to obtain high returns. It's a good intention!"

Blueberry TV's Director Zhong and deputy director were also watching this live broadcast.

"Haha, Director Li's words are so profound."

"What Zhong Tai said is true. Director Li's words completely tore off the fig leaf of Mango TV and Tianyu's claim that it is difficult to make a profit."

Netizens were enlightened.

"Leo is so damn brave. I actually believed the pity card that Meteor Shower was difficult to recoup because of its high cost."

"I suddenly realized, a luxury car worth 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, and cheap actors, where is the high cost? The script is a copy of Meteor Garden."

The press conference was still going on, and Li Chen added another sentence.

"It's the 21st century now. At the end of the last century, the movie Black Hole, starring Chen Daoming, featured the tiger-headed sprint, which was extremely rare in the mainland at the time."

"Could it be that the General Administration would refuse to approve the film just because of the frequent appearance of luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW in Black Hole? That's ridiculous."

The media are already going wild, and I'm afraid even the General Administration will pay attention to today's press conference.

"This idol drama got off to a bad start, with poor word-of-mouth and quality, but it had an incredibly high ratings and a high return rate."

"Investors are making a lot of money, and in the future these kinds of shoddy idol dramas will be like a flood that has been released from the dams and cannot be stopped."

"If you don't believe it, just wait and see"

Li Chen stirred up the situation, and all parties were in turmoil.

The one who reacted the fastest was Cai Yinong.

"Quick! Let our people work harder!"

Cai Yinong didn't even need to explain clearly, his subordinates knew what he meant.

"Meteor Shower", a rubbish show, actually had higher ratings than "Chinese Paladin III". I, Cai Yinong, am the first one to express my dissatisfaction!
"Hahaha, well said. Let the station report it carefully. Remember, it's just a report."

"Understood, Zhongtai!"

"Sanping, Li Chen's explanation is very good. I just ran into Director Wang, and he even joked that when did the General Administration refuse to approve the film because of that Lamborghini?"

"Li Chen has cleared the bureau's reputation."

"Director Tong, please don't praise this kid. If you praise him again, he will become even more arrogant."

In TS City, Chen Daoming and Feng Xiaogang were also following Li Chen’s live press conference.

Chen Daoming nodded: "No matter what, he is worthy of his leading position in Rongchen Pictures by daring to speak out like this."

Feng Xiaogang also fell silent.

He just secretly cursed Li Chen in his heart, saying that he was even more insidious than him. This character he established was even to the point of offending the young fans of "Meteor Shower".

But it won the hearts of a large number of elderly people.

It’s so fucking good at acting.

Feng Xiaogang guessed correctly, Li Chen made this statement.

Many veteran actors came out to express their support.

Zhang Guoli: "Rongchen Pictures is indeed committed to creating an industry benchmark, just as it said when it founded Noon Sunshine."

"This year, Li Chen did it."

Qin Hailu: "Director Li's words reveal the current chaos in the industry. They are concise and thought-provoking."
