Chapter 246 Truly Becoming a Flower of Earthly Wealth [Please Subscribe]

Ninth floor of Time Media Building.

Megan Fox, who had practiced dance for a while, was walking from the rehearsal room to her office when she was stopped by Tang Yan's office.

Tang asked excitedly, "Meghan, you also had a cameo in Tong Jie's (Before I Met You)?"

This project has only been officially launched for a week.

However, prior to this, books had been flooding the market for over a year.

Those who are well-informed and have connections to film and television adaptations of bestselling novels naturally know a lot about the subject.

Megan paused for a second, then said with a dark expression, "I had a cameo role, so what?"

Megan Williams made a cameo appearance as the male lead's girlfriend before he became paralyzed, but after he became paralyzed, she got together with his former best friend.

The male protagonist eventually has to attend his ex-girlfriend's and ex-boyfriend's wedding.

This is a prime example of the saying "when disaster strikes, everyone flees for their own lives."

Whether it is the Eastern world or the Western world.

These are all typical examples of a "scumbag" woman.

Meghan was speechless; this was an opportunity she had worked so hard to win with all her talents.

Tong Liya's sister is so inhumane.

She has a more striking, aggressive beauty, but that's not her fault.

Asking Lao Li for help won't help with this.

After all, all the power was handed over to Xiao Tong.

Tang Yan excitedly grabbed Megan's arm, "Senior sister, take me with you! It's a project where the big boss is making a cameo appearance. There are many roles, and it's a good opportunity to get on his bus and flatter him."

(Before I met you) there were indeed too many roles that could have been played to make an appearance.

In the original story, the female lead's childhood sweetheart boyfriend in the countryside was changed to her best friend, and Liu Shishi played the role.

She has appeared on screen multiple times, with lines and visuals, and has a good image.

The female protagonist has parents, a younger sister, nephews, and other relatives in the countryside.

The younger sister is played by Zhao Ji, Tong Liya's roommate.

There's also the female lead's former boss, and the customers who were once restaurant waitresses.

Then there were the strangers at the job center who helped her find work.

The male protagonist's parents and family doctor.

Then there's the large crowd of passersby at the male protagonist's ex-girlfriend's wedding ceremony.

(Before I met you) it can't be said that time was a grand and solemn event.

But in order to make Xiao Tong happy, Lao Li even took on the role of the male lead himself, resulting in a whole movie being filled with paralysis.

Ultimately, euthanasia was chosen.

This must have inspired countless actors in the Time Traveler series to beg for minor roles.

Megan rolled her eyes and retorted, "What's the use of begging me? Why don't you take my place as the scumbag who dumped the male lead after he became paralyzed and got together with his best friend?"

Megan felt more and more that she would have been better off not taking the role.

The male lead met the female lead after they had dressed up for their ex-girlfriend's wedding.

Not long after, he chose to commit suicide.

Of course, this wasn't because I was too heartbroken or provoked.

The male protagonist is paralyzed from the neck down, and can only move his hands slightly.

They also frequently get lung infections and require emergency treatment.

Or perhaps your blood pressure fluctuates, and you take numerous medications every day.

Various passive activities are also necessary to prevent muscle atrophy.

All things considered, even without suicide, one could die at any time from an organ infection.

So even after falling in love with the woman who was his caregiver, he still chose euthanasia.

The only scenes in this movie that showcase the male lead's various sports and fitness enthusiasts are all in the camera and laptop videos.

A sunny, athletic, and muscular young man, Prince Charming, becomes a paralyzed patient who needs daily care from strangers.

The contrast is quite striking.

Tang Yan was stunned by these words. "Huh? The boss is so handsome, even if he were really paralyzed..."

Based on her infatuated nature.

Even if she were to encounter a situation like the one in the script, where she becomes a heartless woman who dumps the male lead? It seems she wouldn't be able to bear it.

Megan laughed and joked, "If you want to act, I'm willing to let you; if you don't want to, that's fine too."

After saying that, she went back to her office to wash up.

It would have been better if Tong Liya hadn't given her such a minor role.

Although the other party got on the car first.

But she, a beautiful girl from the 03 class of Beijing Film Academy, was not afraid of the little poison thrown at her by this 04 junior.

…………

On February 22, Lao Li, Xiao Tong, Liu Shishi, and Da Meiyuan arrived at a hotel on Hong Kong Island.

Zhang Bozhi, who had been waiting there, came forward with Liu Xinyou to greet them.

Azhi hugged Da Meiyuan first, then smiled and said, "Brother Yu, the games of stealing vegetables and grabbing parking spaces promoted by Renren and 360 Group are quite fun."

"My social media feeds are flooded with this."

"These web-based games are even more fun than PC games!"

As early as a month and a half ago.

When Lao Li, Zhou Hongyi, and Xiao Ma were having drinks together, they talked about the development of games in 06.

This is to provide lifeblood for 360 Group, including Time People.

A month and a half.

Two games that were once famous in the "Tiny Times" era have also successively entered closed beta and open beta.

A few endorsements from celebrities can spark a massive gaming trend.

February marked the beginning of a surge in the revenue-generating capacity of web games.

Da Meiyuan jokingly remarked, "Ah Zhi, you still have time to play games? Looks like you're having a pretty leisurely time, you filming machine."

Ah Zhi has been a money-making machine for over a year.

The quality varies, but it generally hovers around 6 points.

Old Li was speechless and sighed, "You might as well make money by holding concerts or taking on a lot of advertising deals."

Actors who act in too many bad movies really deplete their personal commercial value.

The problem lies within the Hong Kong entertainment circle, from Andy Lau to Louis Koo.

One bad movie king after another has never stopped.

Zhang Bozhi laughed, "Brother Yu, you still care about me? I'm so touched."

“I recently took on a few bad films. One of them is Wong Pak-ming’s (Ip Man), which asked me to play Ip Man’s wife during the Republican era. I was supposed to wear cheongsams a lot to show off my refined and virtuous wife image.”

"Brother Yu, would you like to approve my and Youyou's cheongsams?"

Old Li, “…”

Is the Ip Man version starring Wong Pak-ming and Donnie Yen about to begin?

Almost, the original Track was released in its entirety the year after 08.

Donnie Yen also mentioned that he practiced Wing Chun for nine months before filming began.

This preparation mode and duration are both normal.

Not to mention, Huang Baiming's initial plan to develop Ip Man was driven by the news sensation of copying and stealing Wong Kar-wai's (The Grandmaster) project.

Old Wang announced the project back in 02.

It can only be said that in the early stages of filming Ip Man, Wong Pak-ming himself was not very optimistic about the project, yet it still managed to gross 9400 million yuan at the box office in mainland China.

It was the nationalistic sentiment that ignited the huge box office.

The original trajectory had a very impressive 9400 million users during that time period.

After all, Ning Hao's Crazy Racing only grossed 1.08 million yuan, and it was released later than Ip Man.

Given the quality of (Ip Man), regardless of how much this series romanticizes Ip Man, purely from a commercial perspective, this is a commercially profitable IP.

The Hong Kong entertainment circle will choose this project to glorify Ip Man.

The core driving force still involves Bruce Lee.

Is Ah Zhi now taking over someone else's thunder? It can only be said that it's due to his butterfly effect.

Ah Chi has never talked to Edison Chen. Free from the influence of any scandal, her career is so strong that she can support the title of the last diva of Hong Kong.

Old Li was speechless. Da Meiyuan teased again with a smile, "Azhi, why aren't you wearing a cheongsam today?"

Azhi grabbed Liu Xinyou and ran away, saying, "I'll go change right now."

Old Li, “…”

…………

Time turns.

December 2006, 3.

Li Wenyu and Megan Fox, along with the main creators of "The Hearing Girl" and "The Wolf of Wall Street," appeared outside the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.

This is this year's Academy Awards ceremony.

Many gossip reporters lost interest in his high-profile red carpet appearance with Meghan Markle.

The question that countless reporters kept asking was why Li didn't personally direct (The Wolf of Wall Street).

Why was the director position given to Ning Hao?
Old Li calmly smiled, indicating he wouldn't answer, choosing to remain silent.

Since its release in mid-December last year, The Wolf of Wall Street has been taken off the screens in the United States.

The final box office was $1.29 million.

It cost $1300 million more than the original.

This is also the butterfly effect of Li Wenyu, who adapted the biographical story of a Wall Street conman who had been imprisoned.

This is a publicity stunt in itself.

And then the wolf landed in Europe, Brazil, Egypt and then in South Korea and other places.

As of March, the cumulative global revenue has reached $3.25 million.

This film is still showing in many places, including China where it hasn't been released yet.

Compared to the original's global sales of over $4 million, this is still going strong.

Undoubtedly, for a biopic written by Li Wenyu and co-produced by Mtime Media and Warner Bros., Mtime will also receive 15% of the global box office revenue.

Now, $3.25 million is also 26 billion RMB.

This Wolf of Wall Street also received Oscar nominations for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and other accolades.

Although (Lucy) is a product produced solely by Time Media.

This is the most powerful and core product in the Chinese New Year film season.

But globally, the Wolf of Wall Street is undoubtedly far more famous and influential.

Today, March 6th, (Lucy) has been released in the United States. After its opening weekend and second week, it grossed $12 million and $19 million respectively.

Even if the total amount is only 3100 million US dollars.

But it's only been ten days!
Judging from the trend (of Superbody), it has surpassed 50 million US dollars in the United States, and the total number in Europe may reach 80 million US dollars, which is also a very stable trend.

This is all about the battle between Fan Bingbing and Li Jiaxin, who became famous as big directors and big stars in Europe and America.

The combined total from China and South Korea is approaching 8 million RMB.

If Ojami ultimately achieves a box office of 600-700 million RMB, it will definitely be on par with the Kung Fu series, and then move on to the John Wick series.

The only regret is that there may not be a sequel to Lucy.

The combination of "Lucy" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" brought Li Wenyu and Time Traveler back into the limelight in Hollywood.

If there were a power ranking in the global film industry...

Old Li would definitely be in the top five during this period.

As he and Megan entered the awards ceremony venue, Megan whispered excitedly, "Brother, you'll have to stuff me to death after the awards ceremony tonight."

"I felt like I was floating, and I couldn't calm down."

"The second season of How I Met Your Mother is scheduled to be filmed in the summer, so I can still enjoy a few more months of leisure in Beijing."

Old Li said, both amused and exasperated, "The next two years (La La Land) will be your time to shine. As long as your acting skills keep up, we'll throw money at you to help you win the Best Actress award."

At his current stage, his net worth...

With enough money, promoting a true "Time-Traveling Actress" is no big deal.

Even now, for him, a person who has been reborn and has cheated his way to success, money has only become a number.

Just like at the end of 07 next year, Jack Ma split up Alibaba Group, keeping Alipay and Taobao, and only listing the part of the mainland e-commerce that trades with overseas customers.

It easily reached a market capitalization of HK$1996 billion.

If the global financial crisis hits again, prices will plummet to rock bottom!
Before the storm, Lao Li's Weibo posts and Xiao Ma's QQ account will continue to surge for another year or two.

The others won't be bad either.

If this sea of ​​money were tilted slightly, it could produce an award-winning actress.

Megan trained for La La Land for over three months.

This is still far from the Oscar-worthy performance of an actress from the 00s.

Her acting skills, even at the age of seven, are far from adequate.

Megan nodded emphatically, "I would definitely train like crazy. If Transformers had been released in 07, it would have been a global blockbuster."

"In order to prevent that old woman Scarlett from showing off in front of me, I also have to do a good job in La La Land."

Old Li, “…”

Never mind, let's just accept the trophy properly.

Of all the film crews, tonight's award still belongs to (The Hearing Girl) for winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, which is a celebration for Xiao Shishi.

The entire Year of the Dog, 06, was a year of great success for Liu Shishi in the awards arena.

This is the year that Shishi and Xiaotong transformed into real-life beauties of wealth and elegance.

An awards ceremony has ended.

Images and short videos of Lao Li holding the Best Foreign Language Film trophy and giving his acceptance speech quickly appeared on numerous websites around the world.

It has become the latest trending topic.

The Eight Beauties of Time.

This night also marked the moment when Liu Shishi became the absolute leader, suppressing the other seven beauties.

After the awards ceremony.

When Lao Li and his team rushed to the airport to return to China.

Ning Hao offered me a cigarette and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, a rich guy gave me a check and asked me to direct a music video for a little girl."

"It feels a bit funny, but the amount of money they gave was really quite a lot."

"In my anger, I still wanted to take the money to shoot the music video, but I felt a bit sorry for the Oscar nominee for Best Director."

Old Li, “…”

He was in a daze for a second. That's right, the famously talented singer and dancer, Da Tian Tian, ​​is about to debut.

Although she was originally a young girl from the 07 class of Beijing Film Academy.

But they signed the contract back in 04.

You mean Nan Yihuan and Bei Tiantian? They're not even in the same league.

Compared to Tian Tian, ​​Liu Yifei's resources are completely outclassed by Tian Tian's.

At present, the (Before I Met You) project is operating stably, and other major projects are also progressing steadily.

Ning Hao (Crazy Racer) has not only finished filming, but post-production has also been completed.

Just waiting for the right time to go.

Is the most discussed topic now the May Day holiday film season or the summer film season?
The summer movie season in 2006 was just as fiercely competitive, with Time Entertainment having films like The Hangover Part II and Teddy Bear 1.

There's also Stephen Chow's (The Little Guy).

The biggest hit (John Wick 3)? If this really gets the beautiful actress involved, it could easily be squeezed into the July summer blockbuster season if filming starts in April.

(Before I Met You) is a low-budget romance film; once filming begins, it can be completed in one or two months.

Purely commercial production, a bunch of blockbuster movies.

Old Li laughed and said, "You're a director, and you can't get as many advertising or commercial performances as celebrities. But you should make music videos like this, which can make a lot of money."

"Oscar contention has become so widespread, don't feel pressured."

Ning Hao also splits orders 50/50 with Shi Guang.

Commercializing awards? Except for The Wolf of Wall Street.

Time can be restarted at any time (from Slumdog Millionaire to Lost Lover).

The next moment he asked curiously, "Would you be willing to go to India to film a movie for a few months? At most, it will be hard on your stomach."

"With your looks, you shouldn't be so vulnerable to being assaulted by an Indian."

Ning Hao, “???”

My stomach and intestines are perfectly fine! But my anus is damaged?
