Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 239 The Big Secret Almost Gets Kicked Out of the Eight Beauties Again
It was around 1:12 am on August 7th.

After having breakfast, Liu Shishi planned to go to the practice room on the 11th floor to continue practicing her lines, including singing techniques and breath control.

As soon as I returned to the 11th floor, I saw Yang Mi sneaking around the corner of the corridor, peeking at something furtively.

Liu Shishi tiptoed over and patted the head secretary lightly, saying, "Are you doing something thief?"

Yang Mi was startled, then quickly patted her conscience, "Senior Sister, you scared me to death!"

"I'm just trying to persuade Blake Lively to withdraw from the competition for the Eight Beauties, aren't I?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi almost burst out laughing.

Last summer, along with the explosive popularity of (Kung Fu Hustle 2), there was also the bombardment of (The Hangover).

There has long been a growing online movement to remove Yang Mi and Jiang Shuying from the list of "Four Beauties of Time".

Similar to Da Meiyuan and Dong Xuan, who successively squeezed out Yanzi and Xu Jinglei, two of the "Four Little Flowers".

Now?

Yang Mi did so on the advice of others, and also by using her own connections, such as with Liu Shishi.

Then there's Tong Liya, Huang Shengyi, and so on.

He's paying to hire online trolls!
Last year, the idol drama "It Started With a Kiss" starring her, "Wanwan Team," premiered.

It has been the top-rated show in its time slot for several consecutive weeks.

It was broadcast on mainland television stations during its first run, and the ratings were quite good.

All things considered, during last year's annual global beauty pageant, Yang Mi did more than just spend money to boost her ranking.

They also promoted new gimmicks online, such as the "Four Great Actresses" and the "Eight Beauties of Time".

New combination.

The four leading actresses are Gao Yuanyuan, Dong Xuan, Zhang Bozhi, and Zhang Ziyi.

It refers to the four most popular actresses in China at present.

Did Zhang Bozhi replace Zhou Xun?
The main reason is that Zhou Xun has few works, so is he aiming for awards?

In terms of awards, Zhang Bozhi helped Zhang Guorong win the Cannes Best Actor award with her performance in "Let Me Embrace Happiness".

She was once hailed as the new generation of "Jade Girl Queen" in Hong Kong, which is understandable given that she didn't compete with mainland actresses.

If they really go all out, it wouldn't be difficult to squeeze one out.

Even in the hugely popular (The Legend of Shushan), Zhang Ziyi played a supporting role to Azhi.

And there's also (Dark Glory) – a female protagonist taking the world by storm!

In (John Wick 1), Zhang Bozhi also played a beautiful female assassin who was killed by Da Meiyuan.

This is what happened to Ah Zhi; she even spent money to hire online trolls.

The upgrade from the "Four Small" to the "Four Big" was a natural progression.

The Eight Beauties of Time are similar to the Twelve Beauties of the Dream of the Red Chamber.

Or perhaps a variant of the seven golden flowers of the Central Academy of Drama's 96 class.

Yang Mi originally thought that after being promoted from one of the Four Beauties to one of the Eight Beauties, her position would be secure.

Then beauty pageants and the internet will collide?
Liu Shishi, Tong Liya, Huang Shengyi, Qin Lan, and then Jiang Shuying and Megan Fox.

Alexandra Daddario.

These are the true Seven Beauties who sit firmly on their high positions.

Blake Lively is being voted on by netizens, squeezing out Yang Mi's space.

Who will secure the last position?

Amidst Liu Shishi's unkind laughter.

Yang Mi stamped her foot anxiously, "Senior Sister, we've known each other for five years, almost five years!"

"You're not just waiting to see me make a fool of myself, are you? Help me persuade them, okay?"

"She's an American girl, and she stole my name in the Chinese film and television industry. What a rip-off!"

While stomping her feet, Yang Mi hugged Liu Shishi's arm and acted coquettishly.

Why don't you criticize Alexandra and Megan?
As soon as Alexandra got in the car, she started bragging to people in the industry about how amazing Li's skills were.

The blows made Qin Lan, Megan, and others question the meaning of life.

This is no secret; even Deng Chao's girlfriend, Sun Li, has heard all sorts of rumors.

Megan?

In a few days, Lao Li will be taking two film crews and Megan along to the Golden Globe Awards red carpet.

This news alone is enough to spark much speculation.

Yang Mi has no choice but to challenge Blake if she wants to keep her position.

The others can't be breached!

The first season of "2 Broke Girls," starring Qin Lan and Alexandra, peaked at over 18 million viewers in the United States.

The average viewership is over 1100 million, which is simply unbelievable how popular it became after its premiere.

In addition to Qin Lan's cameo appearance (The Hangover 1), there is a possibility that she will also make a cameo appearance in The Hangover 2.

Aside from being a television star, Alexandra also sang two hit songs that reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100, making her a pop star.

Yang Mi wanted to cry her eyes out.

She couldn't even budge the Yellow Cloth!

(Kung Fu II) plus (Bright Sword)!

What will you use to rush it?
Liu Shishi laughed even more gleefully, "It's okay, Mimi, listen to me."

"Even if you manage to convince Blake to leave this time and stop robbing, what if Liu Yifei takes the second female lead role in (Chinese Zodiac) one day, and the movie becomes a huge hit?"

"It could also push you out of the Eight Beauties."

"If all else fails, there's Wang Luodan. I heard she's in talks for a drama series with Zhao Baogang."

"What was her name again? She was the second female lead, but her character seemed stronger than the first female lead's. She was similar to Deng Chao's second male lead in 'My Love from the Star,' a rich second-generation simp."

"Maybe it can even push you out of the top."

Liu Shishi would have been better off not saying anything; her words almost made Yang Mi's conscience explode.

But what she said was true.

(Struggle) will definitely not "remain famous in the original timeline" in this dimension.

It became a "classic" fashion idol drama for countless people born in the 80s.

Because in this dimension, whether it's Dark Glory, Squid Game, or Ghost, etc., people born in the 80s...

There are far too many shows that completely outperform the show in terms of overall ratings.

It's fair to say that it's a minor hit product of the year.

The show, which was originally scheduled to premiere in May 2007, actually started filming in April 2006.

It was turned on three months later.

Wang Luodan is currently in talks with the production team regarding interviews, salary, and scheduling.

Other key members of the creative team are also being recruited and interviewed, which is normal.

Yang Mi's eyes widened again, her face showing disbelief at Liu Shishi's sharp tongue.

She even started glaring at Xiao Liu resentfully, as if Liu Shishi were some kind of heartless person.

Liu Shishi slapped Yang Mi, "Don't give me that. I know your best friend's personality all over the company. If you're so capable, then learn English and grammar properly."

"The twelve zodiac animals have snatched the lead role, what are you still worried about?"

Old Li had told her about it.

If Jackie Chan's Chinese Zodiac is successfully made, its reputation may be similar to that of New Police Story.

It's at the same level as the Baby Project.

But the box office will not be low.

People still feel aesthetically fatigued by Jackie Chan.

But a box office hit will inevitably make a group of people famous.

It all depends on who the female lead is.

As for Liu Shishi herself? She favors Jiang Shuying more.

Leaving aside the friendship with Jiang Shuying, which is similar to that of best friends in junior and senior high school, let's just talk about the effort they put into learning foreign languages.

Liu Shishi is optimistic about Lao Jiang.

Now that I've run into Yang Mi, I'm just teasing her a bit.

Anyway, she's definitely one of the eight beauties, either first or second.

No, that's not right either. Thinking of this, Liu Shishi felt like biting Old Li a few times to vent her anger.

Damn it, those eight beauties, that beast has already devoured four of them.

I reckon that if anyone is interested, none of the remaining four would refuse.

Putting aside the fact that Jiang Shuying confessed her feelings before her, Jiang Shuying did so first.

As for the Four Great Actresses? One of them, Ah Zhi, has been paying him off for years.

Thinking of this, Liu Shishi glared at Yang Mi twice, then got up and left, still fuming.

Yang Mi, “…”

What's going on? Liu Shishi is watching and making fun of me, and I'm going to complain about her for a while.

The other party seemed to have gotten angry and left? What kind of bizarre situation is this?

Time passed, and it was the evening of January 17th, US time.

Outside the Hilton Hotel.

Under countless flashes of light.

Li Wenyu and Megan Fox walked hand in hand off the car and onto the red carpet.

A barrage of cameras and video recorders rained down on this place, and anyone without special training would be bombarded with their images.

My eyes are almost blinded by the light.

Old Li calmly walked forward with Megan.

One topic after another, questions were raised by the reporters.

"Li, Megan got your name tattooed on her lower abdomen. Does that mean you two are together?"

"Li, you and Lily were holding hands? You've ditched your girlfriend persona?"

"This is truly sensational news. The Asian tycoon who amassed a fortune of $6 billion in four years has finally succumbed to the charms of a Tennessee hottie?"

…………

Many of the questions were aggressive.

However, in reality, many journalists and media professionals speak in a very relaxed tone.

Mostly jokes!

After all, it's not like Lao Li hasn't held hands with other girls when he's walked other red carpets.

The last time he walked the red carpet here, he was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress (Blue Jasmine).

Old Li still attended the event hand in hand with Gong Li.

Li Wenyu smiled and nodded calmly, "Megan is one of the most beautiful actresses in our Time Group, and our group's (hearing girl)."

"The remake rights have already been sold to Warner Bros. and Columbia Pictures."

"I hope that next year, I will have the opportunity to compete with Megan for a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Drama Film."

Meghan also gave a polite yet slightly arrogant smile, practically screaming "Please praise me!"

The crowd immediately erupted in boos.

Countless American media outlets are genuinely interested in Li Wenyu, the guy who created $6 billion in assets in four years.

But let's not talk about them.

Since his debut, Lao Li has never been involved in any gossip or scandals in Asia.

If there are collaborations, they are usually limited to film and television projects, red carpet events, or celebratory banquets.

Or perhaps it was a popular idol like Zhang Bozhi who openly expressed her love for him, only to be rejected.

Meghan even had her name embroidered on her body and publicly announced it on Weibo, saying she had pursued him relentlessly but failed.

This kind of Lao Li is deeply hated by countless gossip paparazzi.

A moment later, after Li Wenyu and Meghan entered the venue, Meghan whispered in Mandarin, "If the outside world knew that my stomach and intestines were filled with your wisdom, there would definitely be a little uproar."

Old Li's smile remained unchanged. "If you keep being naughty, I'll really teach you a lesson."

After a while.

The two, along with other key members of the production team, including the (Wolf of Wall Street) crew, took their seats in the venue.

Just then, a beautiful woman walked towards Old Li and Megan; it was Scarlett Johansson.

Scarlett, dressed in an evening gown, is not tall, but she has a unique charm.

She walked over and shook hands with Megan with a smile. "Megan, I heard you turned down the lead role in Transformers? Thanks to you, I had this opportunity."

"Li, I have long admired and respected your talent."

"I really hope to have the opportunity to work with you sometime."

Such a simple provocation?

Megan scoffed, crossed her arms over her conscience, leaned back in her chair, and crossed her legs.

Just like when she first learned something from Lao Li, she walked out of the lounge feeling incredibly embarrassed.

Fat Bing sat behind her desk, scrutinizing her. Now it was her turn to scrutinize Scarlett.

No problem. There are so many beautiful women in the Chinese entertainment industry who want to rise to the top, but Lao Li is still in a restrained phase.

Or let it run wild a little.

It's not difficult to experience one of life's four great joys every night.

Like Scarlett Johansson, an older woman who has been in Hollywood for over ten years?
Megan didn't care at all, thinking the other party couldn't possibly be a threat.

Otherwise, there's Zhang Bozhi, Rosamund Kwan, Joey Wong, and others, as well as the relatively simple He Qing.

It's not like she, Meghan, has a chance to rise to power.

Li Wenyu shook hands with Scarlett briefly, exchanged a few pleasantries, and didn't try to keep her.

Among the people nearby, such as Ye Tong, Liu Ye, and Ning Hao, was there anyone willing to give up their seat for Scarlett?

Old Li stopped them all with a look.

He had absolutely no interest in the Judah girl, and it wouldn't hurt to stay away from her.

The time that follows.

The awards ceremony proceeded smoothly and as expected.

The crew of (The Wolf of Wall Street) mentioned 0 points.

(The hearing girl) gets a perfect score.

When Xue Xiaolu went to accept the Best Foreign Language Film award as the director, Lao Li, Liu Ye, and others stood up to applaud and receive blessings from other colleagues.

Beijing time is 16 hours ahead of Los Angeles time.

Now, when they receive their awards, it will be noon on January 18th in Beijing.

…………

After the 06 Golden Globe Awards for Television and Movies concluded, Lao Li's two teams flew back to China.

The crowd landed on the 20th, Beijing time.

The 21st day of the twelfth lunar month!

Liu Shishi and Xiao Tong, who were responsible for picking them up at the airport, were chatting enthusiastically about the awards.

Even the beautiful woman driving asked curiously, "Brother Yu, if Megan really takes on the role in the American remake of (The Hearing Girl), does she have a chance to win an Oscar for Best Actress?"

Old Li chuckled, "It's easier for American actors to get nominated than for Chinese actors."

"But the prettier the girl, the harder it is for her to get a nomination."

"Even if it were just a few of you, if you dressed up and took on the (Blue Jasmine) project that Gong Li did back then, the difficulty of winning the award would be much higher."

This isn't a hard rule, but rather the quirky taste of the academics.

The girls started discussing it intensely again.

The film and television industry at this stage has not yet been overused and exploited.

The pursuit of prizes is somewhat filtered.

At least she has the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film for "The Hearing Girl".

Liu Shishi is now aiming for the Best Actress award at one of China's five major film awards, and it should be a breeze for her.

Xiao Liu was so excited that he was practically dancing with joy. "The Hong Kong Film Awards nominees will be announced next month."

"Can I really win Best Actress and take the award?"

"But speaking of which, it seems quite normal for Mr. Feng Yuanzheng to be nominated for Best Actor based on his story of a deaf-mute father."

Once it gets its hands on something, it will run even faster than Li Jiaxin and Gao Yuanyuan.

Ah Xin laughed, "The awards ceremony isn't until April, Xiao Liu, you're just like me."

To put it another way, it was a show like "My Love from the Star" or "Goblin" that established its unparalleled popularity in the television industry.

Then there's the feature film, which is also a battle between a hearing girl and (Extreme Escape) + (Lucy).

It's the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, and the day after tomorrow is the Little New Year in the north

Even for Bing, who was making her first big sci-fi movie, she meticulously and repeatedly worked on the final special effects shots, recording and editing.

The final version of Lucy has also been released.

This includes large-scale copying and distribution to countless cinemas across the country.

The first wave of excitement for internal previews has now swept through Time itself.

Countless people are still looking forward to this sci-fi blockbuster.

This popularity far surpasses that of "If You Are the One", "Hero 2", and "King Kong".

Those three movies were released during the winter break, and their opening weekend performances were quite good for the first three or four days.

Hero 2 grossed 6300 million yuan in four days.

The show "If You Are the One" earned 6600 million yuan in three days, while "King Kong" only earned 3800 million yuan.

Even (The Man from Nowhere) accumulated 2900 million in box office revenue in its fourth week of release.

The total revenue in mainland China over four weeks was 2.52 million RMB, which is equivalent to 3.38 million RMB nationwide.

Today, on Friday of the fifth week, Lone Agent has easily surpassed Beekeeper 1's record.
