Chapter 467 You Must Go Once
Oriental Morning Post
“‘The Bourne Legacy’: The ocean of bad movies is huge!”
"As the annual box office in mainland China is heading towards 100 billion yuan this year, we have to admit that a period of a sea of bad movies is coming."
"The so-called international co-production spy action romance movie "The Spy" is a typical example of seeking quick success and instant benefits."
"Gong Li, Chow Yun-fat, John Cusack, Ken Watanabe and other large Chinese and foreign casts have joined the film, and the famous Hollywood Weinstein Company has cooperated with the mainland's most star-studded listed private enterprise Huayi Company."
“With a reported investment of 5000 million US dollars, The Spy Game has been quite interesting since its launch.”
"It took two years and many twists and turns to make The Spy Who Died open in mainland China yesterday, three months ahead of North America. When the release date was confirmed, doubts about the quality of the film began to arise."
"After watching the movie, it's just as Li Chen said before, it's a wise move to go to North America three months in advance!"
The Oriental Morning Post and Southern Weekend both gave "The Spy" unanimous negative reviews.
The comments from netizens were even more pungent.
"It finally makes up for the regret that there was only killing but no love in "A City Full of Big Boobs". This is the end of it. I will never do it again."
"It's better to miss each other than to meet, and it's better to not meet than to miss each other. Suddenly I remembered what Leo said to Wu Yusen: The world is no longer yours, why did you come back?"
"A Singaporean daughter-in-law and a Singaporean son-in-law, it's a drama no matter how you look at it."
"This is basically a romance film, how can it be compared to The Whisper of the Wind?"
The two Wangs had been glaring at each other in the company since early morning.
One has a face as black as coal, and the other has a face like a donkey.
"Brother, it must be Li Chen who is behind this. Apart from him, I can't think of anyone else!" Wang Zhonglei's face was almost as ugly as a certain comedian's horse face.
Although Wang Zhongjun was angry, he had not lost his mind.
"Even if it's him, what can we do? Zhonglei, don't look for Gongli next time. Zhou Runfa must also be careful."
Wang Zhongjun revealed the secret in one sentence.
This "The Spy Game" can be said to be going against the wind.
Even after the name was changed and the bureau agreed to release the film, it was still not welcomed by the mainstream media.
What's more, Gongli is no longer a Chinese actor and has lost her popularity among the public.
Chow Yun-fat is not the Chow Yun-fat and Yi Cheng from the beginning of the century, and he simply can't carry the box office.
Not even as good as the traitor Fan Qiaoqiao.
At this moment, Wang Zhongjun suddenly admired Li Chen a little.
One of the two actors chosen for "Passengers" is the only one of the Four Heavenly Kings who went from Beijing to Hong Kong Island to develop his career. He can be considered a native mainlander.
One is the most talked-about Fan Qiaoqiao.
No matter which one, they have a better market than Gongli and Zhou Runfa today.
The big and small Wangs of Huayi were furious, and Fatty Yu of Bona was trembling with fear.
"Leader, I didn't expect that "The Spy" would die so miserably?"
Han Sanping was a little surprised and didn't know why Yu Dong made this call.
"What does it have to do with you?" Han Sanping was quite straightforward.
Yu Dong laughed awkwardly: "Boss, the premiere of Triple Tap will be at the end of the month."
"I understand. I will go to support you when the time comes." Han Sanping said impatiently.
"No, that's not what I meant, Leader!"
"What do you mean? If you have something to say, just say it. I have other things to do."
Yu Dong sighed in his heart: "Leader, Li Chen will not come to the premiere of "The King of Guns", right?"
"Li Chen?"
Han Sanping immediately realized: "Besides the two brothers from Huayi, you are also the one who spread the rumor that Passengers has a distorted outlook on life?"
Yu Dong was silent, but Han Saping clearly understood.
"You're a fucking psychopath!" Han Sanping cursed and hung up the phone.
Yu Dong knew that he had always been dissatisfied with Li Chen.
But China Film was also one of the investors of Passengers. This former subordinate had lost his mind and dared to touch him.
Yu Dong helplessly called Han Saping again.
Han Saping waited for a long time angrily before answering the phone.
"If you have something to say, you have to fart!"
"Leader, I was also blinded by greed and listened to Wang Zhongjun's instigation. I was confused for a moment!"
"I'm regretting it so much now. I'm afraid Li Chen will really come to the premiere of "The King of Guns"!"
He doesn't want to be "judged" by Li Chen!
The Internet is very lively now, and netizens jokingly said that the World Cup has opened, and it is better to ask Leo than to ask Paul.
Some netizens and fans even went to Li Chen’s Weibo to ask him who won the championship!
"You should clean up your own shit and stop doing these stupid things in the future!" Han Sanping cursed rudely.
"I have something else to do here!" After saying that, Han Sanping hung up.
He does have something going on.
"Mr. Han, Director Li is here." The secretary knocked on the door and came in to report.
"Let him in."
Li Chen didn't know why Han Saping wanted to see him.
"What's so serious? Why do you insist on me coming to your China Film Academy?" Li Chen sat down by himself.
Han Saping stood up, walked around the desk, and sat opposite Li Chen.
"That's good. The bureau called me. I hope Passengers can represent the mainland in the Oscars this year."
"Going for an Oscar? Best Foreign Language Film?" Li Chen raised his eyebrows.
Han Sanping nodded: "How is it?"
"Not very good! Please reply to the bureau. I won't go." Li Chen refused directly.
Passengers Oscar-winning film? 80% chance of failure
If you really want to make a breakthrough, you shouldn’t do it with Passengers.
Han Sanping didn't seem surprised by Li Chen's behavior.
This kid has never suffered any loss over the years. He is very careful about his reputation but is reluctant to give up his interests.
"If you don't want to go, then don't go, but you have to promise me something."
"what's up?"
"You must go and make a charge during my term!" Han Saping's eyes were bright and he didn't look like a man in his sixties at all.
Li Chen laughed: "Boss Han, you are really overbearing. I'm afraid that the "this time" you mentioned cannot be achieved without the investment of your China Film Group!"
Han Sanping laughed heartily: "Smart people never speak in plain language."
"Compared to you, I am a smart fool!"
"Why do I feel like everything is a trap you set for me, waiting for me to fall into it?"
After joking around, they got down to business.
China Film Corporation has invested in "Ip Man 3", "Criminal Investigation" and "The Lost Tomb", and Han Sanping has chosen to release them in August, September and November.
This year is the busiest year for Han, and the box office is likely to exceed 10 billion.
There are 25 movies set to be released in late August alone.
Perfectly avoiding "Earthquake" and "Inception"!
Apart from China Film, Li Chen calculated carefully and found that starting from this month until the end of the Spring Festival period, a film produced by his Rongchen Film Company would be released every month.
This year can be regarded as the year of Rongchen Pictures.
Li Chen seldom comes to Yi Xin Media.
All the artists of Yi Xin Media who have no dramas or work today have been recalled by Yang Siwei.
Deng Ziqi and others knew that the big boss and General Manager Yang would hold a meeting for them today.
Point out the focus of several people's future path.
