Life in the Light and Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

The reason for going to Los Angeles early was that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences invited Wu Yang to become a lifetime judge for the Oscars.

Wu Yang did not agree immediately at first, because if she agreed, she would need to go to the United States to attend the admission ceremony.

Add to that the interviews, the unscrupulous act of playing the straight man, and the travel time, and it takes at least a month for the whole trip.

Moreover, Wu Yang, who was well aware of the future, clearly remembered that in a few years, the Hollywood movie myth would decline like Hong Kong movies.

With the development of the domestic film industry, Hollywood's formulaic individual hero movies have become less and less appealing.

However, when WMN relayed the message that if Wu Yang agreed to join, they could arrange for Liu Yifei to join as well.

Wu Yang knew that Liu Yifei had a natural affinity for Hollywood, so he consulted Liu Yifei before agreeing to join.

She couldn't tell Liu Yifei about the time travel, and she didn't want to make things too tense.

After all, Wu Yang still wants to earn more money in the US in the next few years.

Even if I don't work in Hollywood in the future, becoming a lifetime judge won't hinder me from doing anything.

The lifetime members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are the so-called Academy members, and each of them has different authority.

Wu Yang belongs to the directing academy, while Liu Yifei belongs to the acting academy.

In other words, Wu Yang can only vote for the director category, and Liu Yifei can only vote for the actor category.

As of 2012, including Wu Yang and Liu Yifei, the college had more than 5100 staff members.

Whites made up 92% of the group, with only a dozen or so people of Chinese descent, including Wu Yang and Liu Yifei.

To put it bluntly, the Oscars are a capitalist game played by Americans themselves, and the power of discourse is concentrated in the hands of white people.

If Wu Yang hadn't traveled to a better time, catching both China's economic boom and its growing national strength, and the easing of tensions between China and the United States...

If we push the timeline forward or backward by 5 years, based on Wu Yang's remarks in the US and his patriotic heart,

It's impossible for him to win the Best Director and Best Original Screenplay awards.

This has nothing to do with whether the movie is good or not, but is closely related to the protagonist's stance!

Starting the day after I arrived, there was an admission ceremony, followed by a stand-up comedy routine during an interview.

After spending half a month, Wu Yang traveled to major cities in the United States and held eight book signing events with the novel's first author.

They spent an average of two days in each city and successfully sold 85,000 books in half a month.

An awkward incident occurred during the break: the readers who bought the books refused to have the first authors of the two novels sign them.

This is a very rude thing, but it is a very real thing.

After all, the readers who came to the book signing event were there for Wu Yang and wanted her exclusive autograph.

If it weren't for Wu Yang's fame, it's another matter whether the publisher would have published these two novels. Given the fame of the two ghostwriters, it would have been absolutely impossible for them to hold book signings.

So from the second book signing onwards, the two ghostwriters could only slink away.

Actually, WMN didn't originally intend to invite the two people, but Wu Yang felt a little guilty, and as a result, her good intentions backfired.

Wu Yang also gave the two of them a red envelope containing 10,000 dollars each, as compensation for their emotional distress.

In December, Los Angeles is warmer than autumn in China, with daytime temperatures around 19 degrees Celsius and nighttime temperatures around 10 degrees Celsius.

As newly recruited members of the academy, Wu Yang and Liu Yifei have also begun to fulfill their responsibilities.

I go to different places to watch movies every day, and occasionally attend some social parties and social events, where I sometimes run into acquaintances.

Of course, during this period, Wu Yang often went to check the post-production special effects of "Journey to the West: The Love Story of a Fallen City".

Because we are based in the US, we can communicate and make changes in a timely manner. Currently, post-production is 9% complete.

All that's left is the final soundtrack and rendering; it should be almost finished by the end of the month.

The special effects met Wu Yang's requirements, presenting a scene full of ethereal beauty, exciting fights, realistic special effects, and sincere emotions.

……

That day, Wu Yang and Liu Yifei received an invitation from Xiao Li Zi.

He attended a cocktail party and looked radiant, having not seen Leonardo DiCaprio for a year.

Since winning the Oscar, Leonardo DiCaprio has completely let loose over the past year.

First, he broke up with Erin, and then he went on vacation to Miami with his new Victoria's Secret girlfriend.

Then, in a flash, they broke up, and she seamlessly moved on to another Victoria's Secret Angel.

In one year, he changed three girlfriends, faster than Wu Yang made a movie.

The above information was obtained from online news, giving people the illusion of revenge spending.

Although we hadn't seen each other for a year, we had contacted each other by phone a few times because we were casting Matt in a movie.

Wu Yang also used these things to tease Xiao Li Zi, and Xiao Li Zi always had a strong argument to back up his words.

In Lao Cao's words, after fighting a lifetime of war, shouldn't he be able to enjoy himself?

In recent years, facing doubts about his acting skills, Leonardo DiCaprio has wanted to win an Oscar to prove himself.

As a result of his immature acting skills in the early stages, he was ridiculed by the public several times, which also led Leonardo DiCaprio into a dead end of trying to prove himself.

The more the outside world doubts and questions him, the more Leonardo DiCaprio wants to prove himself.

His acting style is also method acting, and each time he gets into or out of character is a huge mental ordeal.

Without the numerous Victoria's Secret Angels over the years, Leonardo DiCaprio might have gone mad long ago.

Now that his dream has finally come true and the outside world has finally recognized Leonardo DiCaprio's acting skills, he has thrown all the drama films that have been handed to him into the shredder.

Although he did not announce it to the public, he firmly told a few close friends, including Wu Yang, that he would never touch these torturous dramas again.

Therefore, Wu Yang thought that the movie "The Revenant," which helped Leonardo DiCaprio win gold, might never appear again.

Even if it is still released, without Leonardo DiCaprio's powerful influence, it will be very difficult for him to win the Oscar for Best Actor again!

Wu Yang didn't feel much remorse, after all, Xiao Li was Wu Yang's good friend and mentor.

Wu Yang knew very well that Leonardo DiCaprio gained 40 pounds in order to film "The Revenant," turning himself into a disheveled middle-aged man.

After winning the gold medal, however, due to age and mindset, he could never return to his dashing and handsome stage.

Unlike now, when time has moved forward by several years, Leonardo DiCaprio is still quite young, and he's been letting loose for the past year.

Not only did she not gain weight, she actually lost some, perhaps to resist the magical attacks of the Victoria's Secret Angels.

"My dear brother, you've finally arrived. Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Miranda. My dear, this is my good brother, Wu Yang, and this is his angel, Liu Yifei."

When Xiao Li saw Wu Yang, he first gave her a warm hug, and then introduced them to each other.

This Victoria's Secret Angel named Miranda is the same height as Leonardo DiCaprio, who is 183cm tall.
