This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 524 I Still Know How to Boil Water (asking for monthly ticket)
Hao Yun also saw Li An, but he did not retreat. Instead, he walked towards him with a big smile.

If there really were villains in their minds, they would definitely be arguing, with some clamoring to kill the old thief, and others persuading that it was not the right time yet.

Everyone has a lot of villains in their minds.

That's called entanglement.

"I'm so glad to see young people like you in the film industry." Li An has never missed the Golden Horse Awards in recent years, and his external statement is to support newcomers.

"Haha, I'm just starting out, just throwing out some ideas..."

Hao Yun and he were arm in arm and talking happily, with tons and tons of attributes being transmitted to him, and there was a high probability that they would overflow again tonight.

Take advantage of Li An's attribute of "cultivation" and then defeat him in the area he is best at.

It’s not that Hao Yun is targeting Li An.

In fact, all directors are like this. They all want to grab a handful of the other party’s piece of land.

For example, Zhang Yimou is working on "Hero" and is currently working on "Curse of the Golden Flower", while Chen Kaige is working on "The Promise" and Ma Dagang is working on "The Banquet"...

This can't even be considered following the trend, because everyone has their own characteristics.

Banquets in the entertainment industry can easily form small circles, and the core figures determine the level of the circles.

Li An and Xu Ke are both top figures.

However, Xu Ke, Hao Yun and Li An form a very strange combination.

The main reason is that Hao Yun is too inconsistent and he is really too young.

Under normal circumstances, Xu Ke and Li An should be chatting, and he should be standing by the side. He cannot speak casually and can only answer a sentence or two stiffly when asked.

But now, Hao Yun was chatting and laughing with these two.

The topic first discussed was Hao Yun's "Those Years".

This box office phenomenon also made Xu Ke and Li An very emotional.

Moreover, "Those Years" is about youth and regrets. It does not contain any distorted sense of values, nor does it contain any bad guidance, nor is it deliberately sensational.

Well, there wasn't even any erotica to lure audiences into the theaters.

But he succeeded.

The young director Hao Yun made a very sincere movie.

It’s not to say that there weren’t such elements before him.

But it is obvious that Hao Yun did not plagiarize or piece together anything. He creatively made a campus youth film.

If "The Breakfast Club" directed by John Hughes in 1985 is the originator of campus youth films, then Hao Yun's "Those Years" can be regarded as an example of Chinese youth films.

It is not as heavy and obscure as works such as "Sunny Days" and "A Brighter Summer Day", but it still has a heavy emotional weight.

That's why it has aroused such widespread resonance.

Then, the topic turned to Hao Yun’s new work "Little Forest".

Li An does have a say in this regard. He previously made a movie called "Eat Drink Man Woman".

This film actually brings out the food culture in Chinese culture to its fullest through the process of an old man cooking.

This is the main line, reflecting the collision of family emotions and the generation gap between two generations.

The angle chosen by Li An was very unique, so Eat Drink Man Woman was a huge success.

He may seem to be an art film director, but he does take shortcuts in filming, and the elements he chooses to interpret are all award-winning favorites, such as "The Wedding Banquet" and "Brokeback Mountain".

Even "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" actually has a very Hollywood core.

As soon as Li An's Eat Drink Man Woman became a success, Xu Ke started thinking, should he also make one?
Why can Li An take the picture but Xu Ke can’t?

So Xu Ke also decided to make a movie about cooking, but after carefully watching some scenes in Eat Drink Man Woman, he felt uncomfortable and thought it would be difficult to make.

"Why?" Hao Yun didn't think it was difficult.

You see, as soon as he took on some of Li An’s attributes, a lot of ideas for improving "Little Forest" immediately emerged.

Whether it is shooting or editing, it will definitely be better.

"In this movie, he used a lot of shots to show how to cook. In order to show how to cook well, he invited chefs from Sichuan, Shandong, and imperial court. In short, he invited all the top chefs in China who were good at cooking.

Then we let these people cook on the spot and film it, mainly focusing on their hands and knife skills.

Then, these shots were carefully crafted and, after being reviewed over and over again, they were grafted onto the protagonist.

There are so many tricks, so after watching it, I felt that I couldn’t surpass him in shooting this kind of thing…”

Li An just smiled at the side, but his peripheral vision was still on An Xiaoxi. This girl was a typical oriental woman, tall and with outstanding temperament, like a beauty walking out of a painting.

It really fits the image of Wang Jiazhi in his mind.

This time, Da X, who became famous for his role as Shan Cai in Meteor Garden, took the initiative to express his intention to Li An, looking forward to working with him in the filming.

However, Li An felt that her style was far different from his, and he "politely rejected" her without hesitation.

Now the more I look at An Xiaoxi, the more satisfied I feel.

"Later, Nan Sheng told me that I would never be able to win at realism, so it would be better to try something elegant, which led to the creation of the "Manchu and Han Feast"..." Xu Ke said with emotion.

But in the end, he still failed to surpass Li An.

"Then in 96, Stephen Chow filmed The God of Cookery. At that time, there were quite a lot of movies about cooking. But I didn't use my hands for anything in this movie. All the cooking scenes were done by An Xiaoxi alone."

Hao Yun's words successfully made the two directors' eyes widen.

Li An's heart was bleeding.

Such a dedicated actor actually doesn't want to be in the movie he starred in.

What can you do!
"Basically, they were all learned on the spur of the moment. An Xiaoxi didn't even know how to boil water before..." Maybe Hao Yun was just showing off, trying to deliberately anger Li An to death.

"I still know how to boil water..." An Xiaoxi was not convinced.

Believe it or not, I'm teasing you. I know how to cook soup, so how could I not know when the water boils.

"My film is different from other chef films. Many of the foods in it are grown and harvested by the heroine herself..." Hao Yun continued to describe.

This process is actually very important.

When he was describing it, the two great directors would think frantically about how they would shoot such a film if they were directing it themselves.

The properties that emerge at this time are not only large quantity but also sweet taste, which is particularly professional.

It was a great inspiration for Hao Yun to shoot "Little Forest".

With the support of these two great directors, the quality rate of "Little Forest" will be at least +10%. If we go back and get some advice from Hou Xiaoxian, Du Qifeng and others, it will add another 10%.

Who says a film like this can't win an award?

When the judges see it, they will be like, wow, this film really touches their hearts.

No, I have to vote for it.

To solve a problem, we must start from the root. If we want to win an award, we must not only polish our work, but also polish the judges.

A life hanging on the wall needs no explanation.

"Ms. Xixi, will you please reconsider this? Although my film is a bit explicit, it will definitely win awards..."

Li An finally couldn't bear it anymore.

If he doesn't fight for it today, he will definitely feel terrible.

She has a refined temperament, a tall figure, and a pure and beautiful appearance.

He interviewed forty or fifty actresses in Taiwan, but none of them was satisfactory to him.

An Xiaoxi is definitely the first suitable candidate in his mind.

If the occasion was not wrong, Li An would have dared to promise An Xiaoxi that as long as she acted, she would win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress.

Given his influence on the Golden Horse Awards, he would really dare to make such a promise if he was willing.

And it's not deceptive at all.

"Thank you Director Li An, but it's really not necessary. I don't have too much obsession with winning awards."

An Xiaoxi refused without hesitation.

Li An looked at An Xiaoxi, and then at Hao Yun who was standing almost next to her.

A ray of light penetrated his crown.

He had an epiphany.

I finally realized where I went wrong.

If you put yourself in his shoes, there is no way he would let his wife act in a pornographic movie.

This time, I finally gave up completely.
