Chapter 445 Grand Slam

“You are not allowed to not reply to text messages!”

"Don't ignore the phone!"

"You are not allowed to spend the night outside!" Liu Yifei made three rules to her fiancé with a serious face.

When she is not around, there is no guarantee that some demons will not take advantage of the situation and sneak in.

Li Chen laughed and said, "You are not allowed to flirt with others outside!"

"You're the one flirting! When have I ever flirted with anyone else?"

Liu Xiaoli sat in the car and watched her daughter and Li Chen whispering to each other outside, feeling both angry and amused.

He's only been away for over a month, it's not like he won't be back.

"Xixi, you're going to miss your flight." Liu Xiaoli reminded kindly.

"I'm coming, Mom." Liu Yifei replied to her mother.

After giving Li Chen repeated instructions, he rushed to the airport.

As soon as she returned to Beijing, she became busy.

"Inception" began global promotion.

In a sense, Liu Yifei's role is more important than Marion Gloria's, and she is the real female lead.

Nolan's native UK and the US are top priorities.

Tim specifically promoted Liu Yifei and helped her appear on the cover of the May issue of GQ UK.

It’s no wonder that Liu Yifei is worried, because the female beauties in China are more ruthless than each other.

The photo of Zhang Yuqi and Wang Xiaofei kissing passionately without paying attention to others became a hot topic, announcing that the current star girl "Yuqimei" and this "handsome young man" are in a rapturous relationship.

Wang Xiaofei, who was previously involved in Zhang Ziyi's San Zhong Men scandal, was also completely cleared of suspicion.

The two star girls, one loves passionately, and the other loves secretly.

But it was clear that the latter had the last laugh.

There was another round of sarcasm towards Zhang Ziyi on the Internet, with people laughing at her for being just a passer-by in Wang Xiaofei's life.

No one knows that the current protagonist, Yuqimei, is just a passerby.

The first day box office of Xu Jinglei's new film "Du Lala's Promotion" which she directed and starred in has also been released.

850 yuan!

Even so insignificant, it set a new record for the box office of Chinese-language films premiering on Thursday this year.

It was a satisfying gift for her birthday.

Zhang Yuqi generously gave netizens a feast for the eyes.

The box office of Xu Jinglei's "Du Lala's Promotion" continued to rise, which immediately added fuel to the fire.

He loudly declared that he would not use a body double for nude and passionate scenes.

Li Chen returned to Beijing, but Chen Kaige went to Xiangshan Film and Television City in Zhejiang.

Two days ago, Fan Qiaoqiao and Huang Xiaoming came to visit the set because "The Orphan of Zhao" was going to move to Zhejiang.

It seemed that Chen Kaige deliberately waited for Li Chen to finish filming and return to Beijing before coming to Zhejiang.

When he learned that Li Chen was also going to Cannes to sell his film, Mr. Ge suddenly became depressed.

"Hong, why is he everywhere? I can't hide from him."

Without Ge You, Zhang Fengyi and other actors, Chen Kaige took off his disguise and transformed into: Hong Ge.

Cannes is the holy place where Chen Kaige became famous.

If there is no Li Chen, then he is unique.

But reality is so cruel.

"Okay, okay, you both won the Palme d'Or. Are you not going just because he's going?" Chen Hong was gentle and patient.

It is easier to coax a husband than a son.

"How is that possible!" Chen Kaige looked stubborn.

How can he make money if he doesn't sell the copyright of "The Orphan of Zhao" in Cannes?

When I, Old Chen, make movies, I build cities and sell films. It's not easy for me.

"That's it, isn't it? Maybe it will become a good story when both of you Palme d'Or winners appear in Cannes at the same time." Chen Hong smiled a little mischievously.

The pigeon's expression looks like he is constipated.

Good story? Don't let it become a joke.

With him around, half of my spotlight is taken away by him.

Sina Entertainment News

"On the afternoon of April 4, the filming of "The Orphan of Zhao", which moved to Zhejiang Xiangshan Film and Television City, opened in the city to welcome guests."

"Director Chen Kaige led the leading actors Ge You, Zhang Fengyi, Wang Xueqi, Fan Zhuobing, Huang Xiaoming, Zhao Wenzhuo and chief producer Chen Hong to make a collective appearance."

"The film company announced on the same day that the film has been scheduled to be released nationwide on December 12 this year."

"That is to say, this year's Lunar New Year blockbuster will be a reunion between the 'old rivals' Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou."

"However, regarding this sensitive topic, Chen Kaige said that he has not considered it for the time being. He also admitted that he is under a lot of pressure for the "target" of 5 million box office. The only thing he can do is to make the film well."

International online reports
"Reprinted from Hollywood Daily Reporter, BJ time on April 4, Chinese actress Liu Yifei appeared on the cover of the May issue of the British edition of GQ magazine."

"She wore a low-cut white floral dress, her skin was whiter than snow, and she looked extremely charming."

"Inception will be released simultaneously in China and the United States on July 7. Liu Yifei will play the role of a dream maker in the film."

Liu Yifei appeared on the cover of GQ and became a hot topic.

Fans and netizens were of course cheering, but several top female stars in China were not happy at all.

Fan Qiaoqiao was preparing to go to Cannes with great confidence, but then news about Liu Yifei suddenly became a hot topic, and it was like a cold shower was poured on his head.

Cold from head to toe.

"Oh, Brother Guang, I'm afraid no matter how hard I try, I can never catch up with her," Fan Qiaoqiao sighed.

Mu Xiaoguang has been thinking about this problem.

"Qiaoqiao, in that case, let's do some reverse marketing." A fierce look flashed in Mu Xiaoguang's eyes.

Under the twinkling lights, Fan Qiaoqiao looked hopeful and curious: "Reverse marketing?"

"That's right! It depends on whether you dare or not."

"dare?"

Zhang Ziyi hoped to reshape her loving image in preparation for her comeback, but unfortunately her calculations were wrong.

Now, it seems that nothing good will happen as long as the name Zhang Ziyi is involved.

On the other hand, Liu Yifei flew higher and higher, and even Fan Qiaoqiao stepped on her international head.

As soon as Li Chen came back, he came to visit Zhang Yimou, but unexpectedly he ran into Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Ziyi came to Zhang Yimou for help.

Li Chen was neither too close nor too distant towards Zhang Ziyi's enthusiasm and only joked with Zhang Yimou.

"Director Zhang, do you have the confidence to defeat Director Chen in the Lunar New Year season?"

"Netizens are very optimistic about you."

The poet is really good at having fun. Zhang Yimou makes art films, but he makes commercial films.

But when it comes to box office, Zhang Yimou is definitely not afraid of poets.

Since the poet made his debut, it seemed that only the last main theme movie stood at the top of the pyramid.

Others including "Legend of the Demon Cat" and "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" have never been in the first tier of domestic commercial film directors.

"Haha, that's all the media deliberately hyping it up. In fact, neither he nor I meant that. Everyone just went for the Lunar New Year movie." Zhang Yimou said modestly.

"Teacher, I have high hopes for you. No matter who you compete with, I have confidence in you, except Director Li."

Zhang Ziyi took advantage of the opportunity to praise Li Quan, the man in front of her.

"Director Li, is there any role suitable for me in your company's film list this year?"

Zhang Ziyi smiled sincerely.

She had already spoken to Zhang Yimou before Li Chen came.

I hope Zhang Yimou can help me get a role in Rongchen Pictures’ film slate this year.

Zhang Ziyi was even happier when she heard that Li Chen was coming to visit the set.

Zhang Yimou asked her to bring it up to Li Chen herself when the time comes, and he would do his best to help.

Zhang Yimou kept smiling, as if waiting for Li Chen to express his opinion.

Li Chen muttered to himself that the master and disciple in front of him seemed to have rehearsed this beforehand.

It seems that Zhang Yimou still wants to help Zhang Ziyi.

"Li Chen, if there is a suitable role, she should be able to do it." Zhang Yimou spoke.

Seeing that Li Chen was indifferent, Zhang Ziyi hurriedly said, "Director Li, I know I've been surrounded by negative news recently."

"But in terms of international influence, I, Zhang Ziyi, believe that I am still the best in China."

"I hope Director Li can give me a hand. I will be grateful to him."

Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Yimou were both waiting for Li Chen's attitude.

Zhang Ziyi was nervous, if it weren’t for the two people in front of her.

She is an international woman who will never behave herself with her tail between her legs.

"Next month, the casting for The Invisible Guest will be held. You can come for the audition then." Li Chen gave the answer.

Zhang Yimou still had a smiling face.

Zhang Ziyi reacted immediately and said with a smile: "Thank you Director Li, I will definitely come."

"Excuse me, who is the director of this film?"

"I"

A gleam of light flashed in Zhang Ziyi's eyes.

Watching Zhang Ziyi, already an internationally renowned actress, and the famous director Li having a pleasant conversation.

Zhou Dongyu's eyes were full of envy.

Director Li just nodded to her without saying a word.

Li Chen didn't stay on the crew for long.

"Teacher, thank you so much today. If it weren't for your help just now, Director Li might not have given me a chance." Zhang Ziyi thanked sincerely.

If Li Chen asked her to audition, it was probably just a formality, almost like an internal decision.

"You're welcome. Act well. I've read the script of this play. It's very brain-burning."

"If I'm not mistaken, Li Chen is probably heading for Berlin next year." Zhang Yimou said with a smile.

Zhang Ziyi was slightly surprised: "Teacher, are you saying that Director Li wants to win the Grand Slam?"

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "What's so strange about this?"

"Given his age and ability, a Grand Slam is only a matter of time."
