Huayu is here for you

Chapter 170 Lin Yu, stunned

"Aren't they all the same?" Li Guoli asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's different. If her goal is really Mr. Lin's Starlight, then this young lady is far too ambitious," Cai Yinong said with a smile.

Looking at Cai Yinong's ambiguous smile, Li Guoli couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. "Alright, let's not worry about that for President Lin anymore. Let's talk about that movie President Lin is making lately! It's all over the country, and people are even calling me. I'm really fed up with these people."

"Haha—Old Li, you're lucky! I've been getting so many more calls, from Hong Kong and Taiwan, all asking me for information and begging for roles, regardless of whether I can actually make the decisions." Cai Yinong laughed heartily. "Hmph! All they do is speculate! Don't they know who they are? Do they think President Lin would even look at them?" Li Guoli said with disdain, "Indeed, they're grasping at straws in desperation. But—I just don't know if President Lin will take care of these actors under Sugar Man this time."

"Sigh—I doubt it!"

Cai Yinong: "??? You're so direct!"

Just as the outside world was abuzz with the controversy surrounding "Inception," Starlight Productions' "Kung Fu Jungle" was released.

The filming of the movie "The Movie" has officially wrapped up.

Fan Shaohuang, who happens to play a fighting master in the movie "Wanted," also filmed his scenes until the very end.

Suddenly, Lin Yu, who was in the center of the set, broke free of the ropes binding him. After dodging one of Fan Shaohuang's punches, he landed a punch directly on Fan Shaohuang's face.

Fan Shaohuang, who clearly did not expect Lin Yu to break free of the ropes, was a little stunned by Lin Yu's punch!

However, while he was stunned, Lin Yu was not. Following the principle of striking while the iron was hot, he unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks on Fan Shaohuang, knocking out the fighting master!

"Cut! Passed."

With the completion of this final shot, Fan Shaohuang's scenes in "Wanted" have officially wrapped up.

Lin Yu and Fan Shaohuang accepted the towels offered by the staff and chatted face-to-face while wiping themselves.

"I got a little carried away a few times just now, sorry, Brother Fan." Lin Yu wiped the prop blood off his face and smiled. "Hehe—it's alright, Director Lin, this is nothing. We action actors who film martial arts movies are all tough, we can take a few punches without any problem." Fan Shaohuang didn't mind at all and said, "Hehe—okay, I know you guys are tough!" Lin Yu joked, "Hey, by the way, I heard from Wen Muye that filming for 'Kung Fu Jungle' has wrapped up, and your scenes here have also just finished. Did they let you know about the wrap party?" Lin Yu asked, "Yes, Director Guo called me tomorrow night."

"Okay, I'll throw a farewell party for you all tonight. Wu Jing, Brother Hua, Teacher Zhang Hanyu and the others have all finished filming their scenes and are waiting for you to join them. Let's get together and send you off as a group."

Fan Shaohuang touched his buzz cut sheepishly. "Hehe, then thank you, Director Lin."

"Hey! It's not that serious. Besides, 'Wanted' is almost finished filming. After we throw you a farewell party, we'll spend a few more days catching up on the minor scenes, and that should be done. You must come to the wrap party!" Lin Yu laughed. "Absolutely, Director Lin, I'll definitely come."

While Lin Yu was busy reshooting some minor scenes for "Wanted," Bob in North America was also beginning the official casting for "Inception."

Directed by Lin Yu himself, with Leonardo DiCaprio as the male lead, and with an investment of $1.6 million, it has to be said that this is not a small pie in Hollywood.

There were over 300 actors who signed up and submitted their resumes, and these weren't unknown actors; they were all established actors with their own works to their name. You can imagine how attractive the movie "Inception" was to them!

"Hey Bob, long time no see! Didn't Lin come?"

In the audition room of North American Star, Bob was staring helplessly at the "big star" who was greeting him with a beaming smile.

"Robert, what brings you here? You're not on my audition list."

"Hehe—Lin made such a big move and didn't even tell me. That's not very friendly. Um—I'm here for an audition." Robert Downey Jr. said halfway through, but seeing Bob's serious face, he didn't dare to joke around anymore.

"You're here to audition? For which role?"

"pharmacist."

Bob looked at Robert Jr., who had become serious, and silently considered it for a moment. "To be honest, Downey, you're not suitable. After all, your Iron Man aura is too strong. Sorry, Downey."

Although Robert was prepared for Bob's direct rejection, he still couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.

Iron Man both made him who he is, and defined him as well.

So in North America now, if a production is even slightly big, they'll immediately reject him if they see he's auditioning! There's no way around it, Lin Yu's portrayal of Iron Man is just too iconic.

"Okay, I knew it. No problem, Bob, I'm prepared." Robert smiled. "Isn't Lin going to host the audition?"

"The boss is filming a movie in China! He doesn't have time for this, but he should come over after the auditions are over," Bob said after thinking for a moment.

Leonardo DiCaprio, sitting next to Bob, also had a slight flicker in his eyes when he heard what Bob said.

"It seems that Lin from China was ultimately chosen for the role. Haha—that Bob guy, I thought he'd be the one to decide on the spot!"

But Robert Downey Jr., standing opposite Bob and Leonardo DiCaprio, was different. After hearing the news that Lin Yu would be coming to North America in a while, his first thought was that the Avengers could start filming.

After all, for the first superhero team-up movie, Marvel was more inclined to have Lin Yu, the creator of the cinematic universe, personally direct it.

And these actors who play Marvel heroes have all received some rumors about the first Avengers movie.

Marvel has already begun preparations for filming "The Avengers," and the director most requested by fans—

Without a doubt, it's Lin Yu! And Marvel's shareholders also strongly agree with the fans' demands.

Furthermore, the recently released Marvel movie "The Incredible Hulk" seems to be trending towards financial loss. It's been a month since its release, and its North American box office hasn't even reached $100 million yet! Its global box office has only just reached $200 million, and most regions are already starting to pull the movie from theaters. Relying solely on North America, breaking $300 million is simply wishful thinking!

This further solidified Marvel's large group of shareholders' belief in having Lin Yu direct the film himself.

Although the movie "Iron Man 2" made them a fortune and made them richer, the release of "The Incredible Hulk" still made these Marvel shareholders feel a little uneasy.

After all, Marvel can't afford too many failures right now, and their old rival DC has been inquiring about the release date of their next movie, Captain America, clearly trying to sabotage them and make things difficult for them.

But the bold statement has already been made, and even if the Captain America movie is delayed any longer, it won't be until next year, not to mention there's also a Thor movie waiting in the wings!

So Marvel needs Lin Yu back to help them out, but they also know that Lin Yu is currently tied up in China. However, once Lin Yu comes to North America, they will definitely come knocking on his door.

Thinking of this, Robert Downey Jr. smiled slightly, greeted Bob and Leonardo DiCaprio, and then happily left Starlight.

"It seems that other big-budget movies are not much hope for me, and it will be a bit difficult for me to establish myself as a Hollywood superstar based solely on the Iron Man series."

"But—it's up to you now—Lin!" Robert Downey Jr. thought to himself as he walked to the entrance of Starlight, looking up at the gate in silence.

After Robert Downey Jr. left Starlight, Bob and Leonardo DiCaprio, along with other auditioners, began a new round of auditions, but—

After a string of top North American stars auditioned, including Jessica Alba, Russell Crowe, Morgan Freeman, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, and Mark Ruffalo, the role was cast.

Bob was completely dumbfounded!

Because among these auditionees were many actors who played Marvel heroes, such as Captain America, Black Widow, Winter Soldier, and Hulk.

In the end, Bob almost released a statement saying: "This is an audition for Inception, not an audition for The Avengers."

After auditioning for a day, Bob, feeling slightly frustrated, reported the situation to Lin Yu, which almost made Lin Yu laugh.

Through this incident, Lin Yu also understood that Marvel was clearly behind the scenes.

It seems that the release of the movie "The Incredible Hulk" has indeed calmed down Marvel shareholders who were gradually becoming "arrogant".

However, Lin Yu doesn't have time to worry about these trivial matters right now, because the movie "Wanted" has officially wrapped up filming, and he is currently busy with post-production editing for the movie!

Moreover, Lin Yu had just contacted a special effects company to begin production on the hundreds of special effects shots in the film.

The movie "Your Name" is also in the planning and preparation stage. It's safe to say that Lin Yu is extremely busy right now.

Moreover, he never intended to make movies for Marvel indefinitely; his plan was to make two more Marvel movies and then stop.

One is Avengers: Age of Ultron, and the other is Avengers: Endgame.

As for why Lin Yu chose these two films? It's because the first one he chose has a female PhD role, and Lin Yu wanted Ms. Liu to play it. After all, with a box office of over a billion US dollars, it would be a significant achievement for Ms. Liu's career.

As for the movie "Avengers: Endgame", Lin Yu simply wanted to claim the title of the highest-grossing film in history.

A box office of over two billion, nearly three billion US dollars! Doesn't it make your mouth water just thinking about it?

Furthermore, with the Olympics approaching, tourists from various countries and regions are gradually gathering in Kyoto.

Reporters and media personnel stationed at the airport are constantly pressing their cameras all day long, and they must be exhausted.

Numerous volunteers across the country have also begun contributing their efforts to the opening of the Olympics.

Lin Yu, who has settled in Kyoto, also received many industry leaders with whom he had a good relationship during this period.

Andy Lau, who recently visited Kyoto, was one of them. He even brought his wife along, and they stayed at Lin Yu's house as guests.

It has to be said that Andy Lau has excellent taste; his wife has a gentle and refined temperament, which is a perfect match for him.

And Jackie Chan was also in the central area of ​​the Olympics, where he held a press conference for his new album. His influence is truly extraordinary!

Lin Yu also received two Olympic tickets from Han Sanping, and the seats were pretty good.

As for who Lin Yu will choose to go with? It's pretty obvious!

"Mom! How do I look in this?"

At Ms. Liu's home, Lin Yu was sitting on the sofa, listening to the faint voices of Ms. Liu and her mother coming from upstairs.

"Oh dear! Why did you dig this out again? How long ago was this? Can't you change into something else?" Liu Xiaoli's voice was a little exasperated.

"I think this outfit is fine! What's wrong?"

"What do you mean 'okay'? Change it right now—"

Lin Yu listened to the voices of the mother and daughter, and the corners of his mouth kept turning up.

"Miss Liu's taste in clothes is as casual as ever!"

Even without looking, Lin Yu knew what type of clothes Miss Liu had chosen. Her taste was simply amazing!

However, Lin Yu didn't intend to lend a hand, because he felt that he had been influenced by Miss Liu's perspective recently and needed to clear his head first to avoid becoming "like-minded" with Miss Liu!

So Lin Yu sat comfortably on the sofa in Miss Liu's house, flipping through a book that Miss Liu often read.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Ms. Liu and Liu Xiaoli finally came down from upstairs with gentle and graceful steps.

The young lady, Ms. Liu, was dressed in a snow-white dress, paired with sparkling silver crystal high heels, and carrying a black LV bag. Her hair was styled in large, wavy curls.

This completely stunned Lin Yu.

"Hehe! Senior brother, how is it? Does it look good?"

Miss Liu walked up to Lin Yu and even turned around by herself.

As Lin Yu watched Miss Liu spinning around, almost drooling, he felt as if he had lost the ability to speak.

"Okay—glug—it's beautiful! So beautiful! Qianqian." Lin Yu stammered, "Pfft—hehe! Silly!" Miss Liu blushed slightly and said, "Alright, Lin, Qianqian is in your care today." Liu Xiaoli, seeing Lin Yu's embarrassment, also laughed and said, "Yes, yes—I'll take care of her, Auntie, don't worry!" Lin Yu looked at Miss Liu's unwavering gaze and assured her:
