Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 212: Demystifying Hollywood [Subscribe]

In Beijing, on a filming set of If You Are the One.

Liu Shishi arrived in a nanny car with her assistant.

As soon as she got out of the car wearing sunglasses and a hat, she saw Lao Feng, Ge You, Jiang Shuying, and Re Yizha all coming out to greet her.

Xiao Liu was stunned for a few seconds, then started to exchange polite greetings, including asking his assistant to hand out gifts.

Lao Feng is in charge of directing the staff to maintain order.

Jiang Shuying, the second female lead in Goblin, was filming here, which attracted a lot of fans to watch, and the police were needed to help maintain order.

If Liu Shishi comes, the sensation will be even greater.

After the crowd was polite, Lao Feng continued to direct the set to prepare for the next shot.

Jiang Shuying pulled Xiao Liu to an open area on the side and asked suspiciously, "Are you so kind as to come and see me?"

Xiao Liu rolled her eyes and complained, "You've been filming for over ten days now, it's normal for sisters to come and cheer you on."

"How's your acting? Did it lag behind?"

This is to act against Ge You and then Liu Yijun.

The flight attendant played by Jiang Shuying originally met a married man who did not invite Fang Zhongxin again.

Invited Liu Yijun.

Who is the most popular and has the greatest commercial value.

Liu Yijun is the second male lead in Squid Game!
The first round of the show in the United States attracted over 2200 million viewers, and Liu Yijun's popularity has become international.

What's more, Liu Yijun is the more outstanding domineering boss character in (Dark Glory).

Speaking of internationalization, Liu Yijun is also the biggest star in the (If You Are the One) crew.

Jiang Shuying nodded cheerfully, "I'm doing fine. Uncle Ge and Director Feng also gave me face and took special care of me, so I didn't fall behind."

"By the way, how are your preparations for the new play going?"

Old Jiang became increasingly certain of one thing: Liu Shishi had taken power.

There was nothing she could do except to eat a lemon to feel the sourness. She could just cry.

Continuing to maintain a close friendship with her sister-in-law will benefit her in every way.

Liu Shishi was excited. "I wanted to improve myself like a blast, but I was so excited and expectant, and it was all for nothing."

Some of these words had become her new buzzwords after she had heard them from Lao Li several times.

Fortunately, Li Wenyu gave her a very generous deadline, and if her acting skills improved a little, he would give her a guest role as a supporting role.

At this moment, Lao Feng coughed not far away. When both of them looked over, he slowly walked over and started to speak a string of compliments.

Really showing high emotional intelligence.

Feng Kuazi himself became successful in his early years thanks to his eloquence.

After praising him, Lao Feng asked curiously, "Xiao Liu, I heard that Mr. Li has come up with a new script that's vying for an Oscar, including a Best Director nomination."

"Handed it over to Director Ning?"

He asked Jiang Shuying, but Old Jiang was not sure.

As for the name? It was Liu Shishi who insisted that he call her Xiao Liu. Otherwise, calling her "Senior Sister" would be too awkward.

The project also spread within a certain range.

Before the release of "John Wick", even international celebrities such as Zhang Ziyi, Dong Wei, and Liu Bing started to promote the film.

Just want to hug the big golden leg and eat the cake.

The spread of the news has a significant impact on the circle.

At least it is helping a group of directors to demystify Hollywood!

It would be fine if Li Wenyu was nominated for the Best Director Oscar time and time again for his excellent scripts.

Now Director Li feels that nominations are meaningless.

I gave the notebooks to other people.

If Ning Hao is nominated for Best Director for a movie in the future, the nomination will be enough to dispel the mystery.

What do they dream of pursuing, to win the Oscar for Best Director?
We also line up to share the fruits.

Liu Shishi was stunned for a second, then nodded. "It seems so. It's hard to say what the final outcome will be. It all depends on whether Warner Bros. Pictures and Columbia Pictures will go for it."

"But if they go for it, it might help the box office more."

"I don't know much about the project either. I just heard Brother Kun and Brother Hao mention it. Director Feng, instead of asking me, you might as well ask Qin Hao and Chen Kun."

To be nominated for an Oscar, it is basically necessary that the film was released in the United States in the previous year and was a box office hit.

But the release time limits are different in different regions.

Just like Hero, it was first released for a week, and then waited for a few months to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film before it was released on a large scale.

This makes it easier to boost box office revenue, including DVD rental and sales revenue.

Old Feng's teeth are sore.

This is more than just eating a few lemons, this is eating hundreds of kilograms.

Deep down, he looks down on ordinary commercial films like "If You Are the One".

The problem is, look at Li Wenyu, each of his commercial films is more and more powerful.

Moreover, all of Time Media’s mainstream movies are commercial in nature.

As for the prize-winning aspect, Lao Li himself was too lazy to do it.

You can easily help others to rush forward.

Even the TV series (Squid Game) not only sold well all over the world and had huge ratings, it is now flying to the Peninsula to win awards.

Do you think the film and television awards in Peninsula are attractive to mainland practitioners?
In the original trajectory, don’t even mention that Lao Chen supported Zhang Dongjian and stepped on Azhi and Xie Tingfeng.

Azhi, Xie and Tingfeng are much more famous than Bingbing, Chen Kun and others.

Later, the situation even developed to the point where some people knelt down in public in front of Korean stars.

It is unheard of for them to kneel down voluntarily one after another just for the sake of their bizarre international influence.

But Lao Li has gradually turned the Peninsula film and television industry into a field of leeks.

This is similar in island countries, as well as in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines.

Because the Korean Wave, which is second only to the mainland entertainment and fashion circles, can impact a much higher level than the local celebrities in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

This is a nested set of giant teddy bear dolls.

Old Feng was filled with emotion again, smiled politely and left.

In fact, he is about to confirm that Ning Hao has a project that can compete for an Oscar.

It means being dumbfounded, unable to believe it, finding it ridiculous and so on.

So much disenchantment with Hollywood all at once.

Feng Kuazi couldn't accept it.

She is the most perfect white moonlight in the minds of him, Zhang Yimou, Kaizi and others.

It's also so easy to be tossed around and posed by others.

The psychological gap is too big!

After he left.

Liu Shishi looked bewildered. "What's wrong with this guy? I feel like there's something wrong with his mental state."

Jiang Shuying, "???"

Why do you care about such trivial matters when you are in a high position?

Lao Jiang was silent for a few seconds, then asked curiously, "Has your mindset changed since you came in? For example, how do you view Megan and Blake who want to pounce on Senior Brother Li at this stage?"

"And then there's the endless stream of tiny beauties emerging from the Beijing Film Academy?"

"I heard that in the class of 05, all the pretty girls from all over the country basically only applied to Beijing Film Academy."

"Our school has expanded its enrollment this year."

No matter what happens to Beijing Film Academy.

Originally, starting from the 00 grade, the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama expanded its enrollment to two classes.

Then there are three performance classes in total for grades 02, 03 and 04!
It’s like this in all Chinese operas.

This dimension was greatly affected by the butterfly effect of Lao Li. After entering the Beijing Film Academy, at least I can call him senior.

This relationship is much closer than just calling them Mr. Li or Director Li. Xiao Liu, "..."

…………

On the evening of May 5th, South Korea’s new year’s Baeksang Arts Awards will be held.

Old Li was having a buffet on the second floor of the hotel. Halfway through his meal, he saw Deng Xu and Sun Li appear on the second floor together.

When Lao Deng spotted him, he quickly ran over to greet him.

Of course, Lao Li was not eating breakfast alone, Xiao Yang and Xue Xiaolu were also there.

Wang Luodan, Hu Ge, Wen Zhang, Wang Chuanjun, Zhu Yawen and others were all there.

The only people sitting at the same table with Lao Li were Xiao Yang and Xue Xiaolu.

Old Li simply waved his hand to interrupt the flattery and said with a smile, "Old Deng, you're almost certain to win the Baeksang Best Actor award tonight."

"The company has no objection to you and Xiao Sun dating."

"But don't make trouble for love, don't be too careless."

Deng Xiao hurriedly bent down and assured, "Boss, don't worry. I won't be too arrogant, nor will I be too stupid. Now, whether it's making money or anything else, everything is going so smoothly."

"Once I earn enough money, I will continue to improve myself on a daily basis. Xiao Sun works for Hairun, but she can also run errands and help out if the company needs her."

The original trajectory of Deng Xuan was after he became famous step by step.

It really flew by!
Not to mention that during the filming of (Assembly), he went to show his affection with Sun Li in the TV series (Sweet Honey), and frequently delayed the schedules of Feng Xiaogang and others, making them wait in vain.

Even during the promotion period of Assembly, his relationship with Sun Li was often hyped.

After Deng Chao became famous, he made a series of money-making movies and became too arrogant.

Of course, that is also largely due to the fierce competition between the former number one and number two of Huayi.

Nowadays, there are also differences in internal status, but the internal competition atmosphere is really not that big because there are too many pies.

Many times, there is only one pie and a group of people scramble for it.

You can get the job if you are good at English and have good acting skills.

It's the same with How I Met Your Mother and The Hangover.

Old Li was just giving this guy a casual warning to prevent him from accidentally exploding when his career and love life are both taking off.

Deng Xuan once again pulled Sun Li together to express his loyalty, and then Lao Li waved his hand and asked them to go and get their food.

After they left, Xiao Yang joked to himself, "Brother, it's not just Deng Xiao who's arrogant. I've been a bit arrogant lately too. I was originally thinking of asking Brother Ning for advice, but what a guy..."

Good guy, needless to say.

Even veterans like Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou have begun to be deeply disenchanted with Hollywood due to Li's manipulation.

Xiao Yang almost vomited blood.

He ran wildly on the path of a tool for two or three years.

Fame, wealth and honors came one after another.

Who would have thought that competing for the title of Best Director in Hollywood could be done this way?
You mean Zhang Guorong and Gong Li? They are both top-notch actresses, okay?

They were nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress respectively, and few actors in the circle disagreed.

Li Wenyu laughed, "Don't look too far ahead abroad. After filming 1988, you can still compete for television awards."

"Today's Baeksang is also a start."

"After finishing all this, Senior Sister Xue, please let me know what you want to shoot. As long as the script is good, I am willing to invest my time."

He was talking about Xue Xiaolu's (Ocean Paradise).

Such a movie will definitely not be able to survive if it fails at the box office. To win awards, it depends on the acting skills of the actors. Wen Zhang's acting skills are not bad in the original version.

But after all, he didn't get nominated for Best Actor at a mainstream film festival.

Xue Xiaolu hurriedly raised his glass and drank tea. "Thank you, Mr. Li. I will definitely work hard."

Joining the crews of "Perfect Strangers", "John Wick" and "Reply 1988" successively were all great opportunities for Xue Xiaolu to improve himself.

Gained a lot of experience.

Li Wenyu smiled and was about to say something polite when his cell phone rang.

When he caught it, he found that it was a text message from Jack Ma, "Mr. Li, I was forced to act as a middleman and wanted to plead for someone."

"Is it possible to release the three white SoftBank executives in jail on bail? Any terms are up to you."

"I'm in Seoul. I'll buy you a gift and visit you later."

Old Li was speechless, was he forced into this situation?
Now Softbank and Yahoo hold over 60% of Alibaba’s shares!

He replied directly, "It's better to disappear so as not to waste time."

SoftBank's arrangement is to use RPG to attack the secondary vehicle and send several bodyguards to their deaths. Fuck, does that mean the bodyguards hired by Lao Li are not human lives?

Even in this situation, you still want to surrender and lose half?
After sending the text message, he briefly encouraged Xiao Yang and Xue Xiaolu, then went to pack some food and returned to the top floor.

…………

On the evening of May 5th, the Peninsula Baeksang Arts Awards was unsurprisingly dominated by the crew of "Squid Game".

Waiting for a new day to come.

As soon as Mr. Li got up, he received a text message report from Huang Xiaoming.

"Boss, the second season of The Big Bang Theory has aired two episodes, with audiences reaching over 900 million and 1000 million respectively, continuing the popularity of the first season."

"I've already filmed more than half of it, but Warner Bros. Television said the third season might be moved to the fall of 06."

"We're still airing the second season in the spring and summer, which is a bit of a loss."

"But overall, the hit comedy I star in is more likely to boost the box office for The Hangover movie this summer."

Xiao Ming has been in Hollywood filming for four months.

He is running between two different projects, not to mention that the second season of The Big Bang Theory is almost finished.

Even (The Hangover) is nearing its final stages.

After all, The Hangover is eyeing this year's summer box office.

This film has few special effects and is basically a comedy based on Michaelis humor and funny customs. The most difficult thing to shoot is Tyson's tiger.

It's a bit dangerous for Huang Xiaoming's character to be in the same room with the tiger.

But I bought insurance.

And Tyson's tiger was indeed raised by the boxing champion.

As for the spring, summer, and autumn seasons? This is a relatively traditional thing in American dramas.

The premiere of most of the top dramas is basically in the autumn season, from September to December.

For example, the summer season is basically filled with reruns of TV series, so only small productions will try out the summer season.

But strictly speaking, (The Big Bang Theory) is a low-budget, small-scale production.

As for The Big Bang Theory, an indoor sitcom, how much production budget can it have, apart from the actors' salaries?

This can't be like a weight loss movie that burns hundreds of millions of dollars in investment.

As for (How I Met Your Mother) and (2 Broke Girls)?

Although Alexandra had flown back for more than two months, she was still taking Qin Lan to experience life in the United States.

To give Qin Lan more experience and knowledge.

Just like before the filming of (Reply 1988) began, the team spent four months here getting used to each other.

The filming of "05 Broke Girls" really started, and it was already released in the fall of .

The same is true for (How I Met Your Mother). Guo Jingfei is still working hard in 1988 and focusing on filming his scenes first.

After finishing the filming, I flew to the United States to shoot.

Compared with the traditional American dramas that focus on the autumn season?
The online broadcasting rights of the Big Bang series in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, East Asia and Southeast Asia do not care about the distinction between summer and autumn.

Li Wenyu replied to Xiao Ming's several text messages, wishing him a smooth filming, before going out for breakfast.

These days, only Quan Zhixian and Xiao Tong are around.

Old Li sighed and thanked the two girls for their hard work and contribution.

However, he has completed the location scouting and other preparatory work in South Korea (Lucy), and will be able to return home soon.

The second season of The Big Bang Theory is as popular as the first season.

This news was posted online to create strong momentum for Xiao Ming, a young actor born after 75.
