Chapter 184 Spreading Dog Food
When the media met Li Chen, it was like a pervert meeting a beautiful woman.
When they met Liu Yifei, it was like a fish meeting bait.
When they met the two of them together, it was like taking an aphrodisiac; they simply couldn't stop.
After creating a buzz, how could the media let go of the recent hot topics?
The fences on both sides could block bodies but not microphones.
“Director Li, is Yifei’s Golden Swallow already confirmed? You’re so close with Minkoff?”
“Director Li, is it because of you that no one competed with Yifei for Golden Swallow?”
“Director Li, will you suppress other female artists in the mainland because of Yifei?”
The questions were sharper and sharper, but Liu Yifei maintained her smile.
She believed Li Chen could handle them with ease, and she was also curious about how Li Chen would answer.
Li Chen turned and exchanged a glance with Liu Yifei, and the two smiled at each other tacitly.
Their intertwined hands were clasped tightly.
“I knew I’d be targeted by you all today.”
“Then, Director Li, are you prepared?” a Southern Weekly reporter asked with a smile.
Li Chen also smiled: “Prepared for what? I always tell the truth, so I don’t need to prepare at all.”
“Yifei told me about her Golden Swallow audition opportunity herself.”
“I didn’t know about it before; you can verify this with Relativity Media in Hollywood.”
“As for no one competing with her, Li Bingbing actually gave half the answer, which is age.”
“The other half is because kung fu king is an action film.”
“The martial arts scenes are the main focus. Which actress in the same age group can compare to Little Dragon Girl?”
Liu Yifei smiled sweetly, gripping Li Chen’s hand even tighter.
The media all chuckled: “What about the last question?”
“In the future, Director Li, will you suppress other female artists in the mainland for Yifei?”
“The fans of several Huayi Brothers female artists see you as a thorn in their side.”
Li Chen couldn't help but smile: “Ever since I entered the entertainment industry and founded Rongchen Film and Television.”
“I’ve never expected everything I do to be approved by everyone.”
“How they see me doesn’t matter.”
Li Chen paused after speaking.
He gently turned his head and glanced at Miss Liu, who was also smiling and looking at him.
Then he raised Miss Liu’s small hand and waved it in front of the media.
“As long as the person whose hand is clasped with mine can accompany me all the way to the end, I’ll be satisfied.”
Liu Yifei’s eyes sparkled, brighter than the stars in the sky.
The media exclaimed: “Too sweet, I can’t take it. Director Li is indeed the number one screenwriter.”
“These lines should be in a romance idol drama!”
“Yifei, Director Li said that, do you have anything to say?”
Liu Yifei smiled radiantly: “What else can I say?”
“I’ll reluctantly accompany him to the end of the world…”
Li Chen couldn’t help but laugh.
He didn’t expect Miss Liu to be more and more like him.
A female reporter from Sina laughed: “I think Yifei is the number one screenwriter!”
The Entertainment Live reporter hadn’t forgotten the main topic and said with a smile: “Director Li, you haven’t answered whether you will suppress mainland female artists for Yifei in the future.”
This question was also a fiercely debated topic online recently.
Now Li Chen has been dubbed the number one capital in domestic film and television.
Whether it’s funds, channels, or resources, he is second to none in the Two Shores and Three Regions.
There are few film and television companies that can rival him.
Li Chen nodded: “Suppression is out of the question, but it’s undeniable that my company’s resources will prioritize artists from Rongchen Film and Television and Yifei.”
“Otherwise, why would people sign with Rongchen Film and Television?”
“As for what’s being discussed online, I’m too lazy to look.”
“The girl I’ve decided on, even the Condor Hero wouldn’t be effective!”
“Let alone those keyboard warriors online!”
The media were delighted; every time they interviewed Li Chen, they returned with a full harvest.
They had little interest in the artists who appeared on the red carpet afterward.
If it weren’t for the Premiere, they would probably have gone back to rush their articles by now.
The interview only lasted two or three minutes. Li Chen dismissed the reporters and led Miss Liu into the venue.
“How can you talk so much? Condor Hero, keyboard warriors, a whole set of phrases.” Miss Liu was clearly in a good mood.
Even her eyelashes were fluttering.
Li Chen walked and laughed: “I think you’re not bad either; you’re more and more like me.”
The inner hall was already bustling with people and Starlight Splendid.
“Director Li, Yifei, you’re here.”
Shen Teng and the others, who were sitting in the back, stood up and greeted Li Chen and Liu Yifei with smiles.
Li Chen nodded in acknowledgment, smiled at them, and then continued forward.
“The way Director Li looked at me just now, it’s like he really knows me?”
Shen Teng laughed: “Yes, yes, yes, are you Super Mario? Who doesn’t know you?”
“Get lost! I’m serious, not kidding.”
Shen Teng was pushed, stumbling: “Last time I said Director Li knew you, and you said not to joke! Now you’re serious again?”
Li Chen had indeed recognized Ma Li, who was next to Shen Teng.
She reminded him of the character Ma Dongmei.
Several of Liu Yifei’s classmates also came.
“I’ll chat with them for a bit, you go deal with Han Dong and the others. I’ll be over in a moment.”
Liu Yifei had a gloating expression.
She still preferred to be with people she knew.
Li Chen nodded, not forcing her.
The groups of people ahead stood in their respective circles.
Ye Ning, Yu Dong, and Lu Zheng stood together.
Next to them stood Jing Tian, dressed sweetly.
“Director Li is here. I’ll take Tian Tian over to say hello.”
Ye Ning said with a smile: “I’ll go with you, General Manager Yu, please excuse us.”
Yu Dong chuckled and nodded, heading towards Han Sanping.
Seeing Lu Zheng, Jing Tian, and Ye Ning approaching, Li Chen also stopped.
“Director Li, you didn’t come to Tian Tian’s press conference last month; that’s not very thoughtful of you,” Lu Zheng said with a smile.
Jing Tian blinked her big eyes nearby, smiling without speaking.
Li Chen didn’t know what to say.
Last month, riding on the momentum of Ruan Ruan from so young.
Lu Zheng held a grand press conference and cocktail party for Jing Tian.
In addition to Jing Tian’s first EP, “Who Are You,” produced by Zhang Yadong,
They also held the wrap-up press conference for Jing Tian’s first starring film, anaconda horror.
Many people in the industry, including Xu Zheng, appeared to congratulate her.
Lu Zheng also invited nearly a hundred media outlets.
At the time, the internet was full of sensational headlines like ‘A Bizarre Story Triggered by a Giant Python.’
How could Li Chen go? Looking at the innocent and sweet smile of this young girl, Jing Tian, in front of him.
Li Chen really felt a little unbearable; the role of Ruan Ruan in so young had opened up such a good opportunity for her.
Although she wasn’t the lead actress, the pure school flower supporting role had helped her gain recognition.
As for anaconda horror, although she was the lead actress.
Li Chen clearly remembered that when it was released that year, the box office seemed to be single-digit.
The Douban score was even horribly low, seemingly not even passing 3 points.
He wondered if the young girl would still be able to smile so sweetly then.
Li Chen added: “General Manager Lu, I was too busy last month. I heard about Tian Tian’s film from Xu Zheng.”
“If I may add, Xu Zheng’s judgment has always been good.”
Li Chen’s words left both Lu Zheng and Jing Tian bewildered.
