Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 251: The Girls' Generation's Deliverment Resounds Across China
The party lasted for nearly four hours.

After the event, host Zhu Jun announced on the spot that nearly 18 billion yuan in donations had been raised.

This means that Xu Yi alone donated more than 10%!

Netizens were immediately filled with amazement again!
Artists under Xu Yi's company, as well as Liu Yifei and Yang Mi.

Also because of the amount of donations, it far surpasses other celebrities.

Popularity skyrocketed!

As for Xu Yi, needless to say.

His name resounded throughout the entire country once again!
The following day, almost all the media outlets in China reported on the previous night's gala.

And Xu Yi's remarkable act of donating 200 million yuan alone.

Even CCTV's 7 PM news program specifically mentioned Xu Yi's name.

It also gave a detailed account of Xu Yi's various achievements.

This is not the first time Xu Yi has appeared on CCTV's 7 o'clock news.

Since winning three major awards at Cannes, he has enjoyed this kind of treatment more than once.

But this time, it was undoubtedly the most grand one.

Ultimately, in the eyes of those in power, the influence of the entertainment industry is ultimately intangible.

The money he earned and the awards he received all belonged to him.

Most importantly, he never truly paid homage to anyone, and never belonged to anyone.

In other words, they did not actively approach the organization.

But this time is different.

The money he donated was real.

Especially in these special times, they can serve as role models.

It can also be very inspiring!

Countless Xu Yi fans were once again in a frenzy!

"Brother Xu Yi is on the 7 o'clock news again!"

"Xu Yi is definitely the celebrity who appears on the 7 o'clock news the most!"

"This news report has actually featured Brother Xu Yi for so long!"

"Brother Xu Yi donated a full two hundred million!"

"My family used to be against me being a fan of celebrities, but now they're all silent!"

"Haha, I have the same at home!"

“My parents don’t object, because being a fan of Brother Xu Yi doesn’t cost much at all.”

"That's right, Brother Xu Yi never lets his fans spend money recklessly; at most, they can buy a few albums."

"Brother Xu Yi is so rich and talented, he doesn't need to make money off his fans!"

As for Xu Yi, since he was going to spend money to buy fame, he might as well go big!
Meanwhile, Xu Yi, who was in the United States, was busy creating special effects for Iron Man 2.

His special effects skills have also reached the master level.

But he certainly won't do it himself.

It's even less likely that they would help Industrial Light & Magic improve their technology.

He is only responsible for making the requests.

However, with him watching over things, the speed can still be increased considerably.

This also ensures that the final product will meet his requirements.

Otherwise, it will end up like the previous "Investiture of the Gods".

The director not only doesn't know how to create special effects.

They may not even be able to accurately describe and communicate their various requirements.

It would be a miracle if this could produce the desired effect!

In about two and a half months, the special effects for the combat scenes in Iron Man 2 will be completed.

Some of the transformation effects were already in production during the filming process.

For the remaining special effects that don't require such high standards, Xu Yi can create them himself after returning to China.

For this reason, he even established a special effects company in Hong Kong called Yi Hua Kai Tian.

It was actually just a shell company.

This wasn't Xu Yi trying to save or make money.

It would take too long to produce the effects if we outsourced it to another special effects company.

Other visual effects companies might need up to six months.

But if he makes it himself, he can finish it in less than a week!
It's a pity that those guys from Industrial Light & Magic don't work on weekends.

Otherwise, it could have been completed even faster.

Of course, as long as the money is in place.

It's not impossible to ask them to work overtime.

However, Xu Yi himself also didn't want to work overtime.

That way, he can do some things he likes on weekends...

……

"Xu Yi Oppa is so handsome!"

"Xu Yi oppa is so stylish!"

"Xu Yi oppa is so cool!"

"I heard that Xu Yi oppa donated 250 billion Korean won for the recent events in China!"

"Xu Yi oppa is so rich!"

"That's 250 billion Korean won! I don't know when I'll be able to earn that much money..."

"Stop dreaming! We might never earn that much money in our entire lives!"

United States, California.

Lightman Digital Art Center.

Industrial Light & Magic headquarters.

The members of Girls' Generation are gathered together.

While discussing it, they also glanced at Xu Yi, who was not far away.

It's the weekend, so the special effects team for "Iron Man 2" is off work.

However, Xu Yi ended up working overtime.

They even borrowed Industrial Light & Magic's space to film a music video for Girls' Generation.

He previously sold three girl group songs to SM Entertainment.

Lee Soo-man decided to release "Oh!" first.

Not only that, they also wanted to invite Xu Yi to be the director of this music video.

Ideally, I'd also like to film a music video with Girls' Generation.

Xu Yi initially refused.

It's not that I don't want my popularity and buzz to be exploited.

However, given his current status, it's really beneath him to film a music video with a girl group.

Besides, it's impossible for him to make a special trip to South Korea for such a trivial matter.

However, Lee Soo-man suggested that the music video could be filmed in the United States.

In other words, it means it will be delivered directly to your door...

It just so happens that Lim Yoon-a is about to turn 18.

In the end, Xu Yi agreed...

Soon, the music video shooting began.

The dance portion was filmed first.

Because various special effects will be added in post-production, it needs to be filmed in front of a green screen.

However, after a period of hard practice, the members of Girls' Generation have already mastered the dance to "Oh!".

Moreover, it didn't need to be filmed in one continuous shot; it could be shot in segments. So it only took one take and was approved smoothly.

But after filming, we have to film it a second time.

And this time, Xu Yi will also join in.

To this end, Xu Yi even spent 10000 points to upgrade his dance skills from Master to Grandmaster level.

Otherwise, it would be bad if we embarrassed ourselves in South Korea.

Although this possibility is not high.

Even with his previous master-level dance skills, there are probably very few people in the world whose dance level can surpass his.

But what if?
Xu Yi would never admit that he just wanted to be in the spotlight!
But this time, something unexpected happened.

Just then, Xu Yi began to demonstrate his dance skills.

The members of Girls' Generation were immediately stunned!

They even forgot their own movements!

"Director, I'm sorry, please give us another chance!"

As the South Korean assistant director next to him shouted "cut".

Girls' Generation's leader, Taeyeon, immediately ran out from the group.

He came before Xu Yi and bowed in apology.

It should be noted that the person standing in front of her at this moment is none other than Asia's number one director.

She also knew very well that the director's time was extremely precious.

I'm willing to direct their music video.

They are also willing to make personal appearances in their music videos and showcase their dance skills.

That's absolutely rare.

For them, this is an incredible opportunity.

If this is messed up, the consequences will be extremely serious!
"It's okay, let's do it again."

Xu Yi didn't look at Kim Tae-yeon and said expressionlessly.

Yoona is still young and her career is just beginning.

In addition, South Korea has very strict requirements for idols.

Therefore, if possible, he doesn't want to expose his relationship with Im Yoona too early.

"Thank you, director!"

Taeyeon bowed 90 degrees again.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the director's attitude was not very friendly.

But as long as it's not true, it's fine to really blame them...

Filming resumed shortly afterward.

This time the filming went much more smoothly.

All shots were filmed in one take.

But this is just the beginning.

A music video can't just be about dancing.

There can't be just one set of clothes.

Besides, Xu Yi's time is so precious.

How could I possibly spend the whole day filming music videos for them?

So when the music video shoot started, it was already 3 p.m.

The filming lasted less than two hours, and it wasn't even five o'clock yet.

Xu Yi then immediately called it a day and said it was time to call it a day.

Others naturally had no choice but to listen to him.

Before coming to the United States, Lee Soo-man had specifically instructed everyone.

Once in the United States, everything must be done according to Xu Yi's wishes.

And this time, the person leading the team is none other than Lee Yu-long from SM Entertainment's Beijing office!
Previously, Xu Yi had taken a liking to Lin Yoona, and it was through him that he conveyed this to Lee Soo-man!
The group then prepared to return to the hotel.

But at that moment, Taeyeon hesitated and came to Xu Yi.

"director……"

Taeyeon called out cautiously.

My heart was filled with trepidation.

Today is the 18th birthday of their team member, Lim Yoona.

So in the evening, they planned to hold a small birthday party for Yoona at the hotel.

This is the United States, not South Korea.

They were a group of girls, and they certainly wouldn't dare leave the hotel alone.

But just now, Team Leader Li, who was in charge of this trip to the United States, said...

But then she was suddenly asked to come and invite the director to Yoona's birthday party.

She was so stunned that she was a little dumbfounded.

Invite Asia's top director to Yoona's birthday party?
Stop joking, okay!
However, she couldn't refuse Team Leader Li's request.

So I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go find Xu Yi...

"what's up?"

Xu Yi glanced at Kim Tae-yeon and said with a blank expression.

His tone was also somewhat cold.

But in reality, he knows everything.

Because he was the one who arranged this whole thing.

Since we've stumbled upon Yoona's 18th birthday party, we definitely can't miss it.

"Um, Director, today is our team member Lim Yoona's birthday, so we'd like to invite you to Yoona's birthday party..."

Taeyeon gritted her teeth and answered honestly.

But Xu Yi frowned after hearing this.

This immediately made Taeyeon's heart clench.

Fortunately, Xu Yi's expression quickly relaxed.

He added with a smile, "Since you've invited me, and I happen to have nothing to do tonight, I'll just go and join in the fun. By the way, the birthday party isn't going to be held at the hotel, is it?"

"Yes, director, it's in the hotel..."

Taeyeon answered again.

His expression betrayed a hint of regret.

This was her first time visiting the United States.

However, to prevent any accidents, they were not allowed to leave the hotel except when filming music videos.

Especially at night, they are not even allowed to leave the room.

"The United States is indeed not very safe at night..."

Xu Yi nodded in complete understanding.

"Alright, I'll make the arrangements for tonight!"

Xu Yi said again.

"This is too much trouble for you..."

Taeyeon quickly said.

But Xu Yi simply waved his hand.

"It's settled then. I'll talk to your team leader!"

With that, Xu Yi turned and left.

Taeyeon was left standing there alone, somewhat bewildered...
