I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 208, Who Says I'm Inferior to Azu?

"Don't you love your son?"

"Who says I don't love him anymore? But it's precisely because I love my son that I can't spoil him like that."

"I have nothing to say to you. If you want to go see a movie, then go. I'm not going with you. You can go if you want, but I just hope that what you make will be of some quality."

Liu Meng said calmly.

After saying that, he left the room and returned to his own.

The couple had already been sleeping in separate beds for a long time.

Li Mo remained silent.

He was just drinking alone in his room.

may.

His own wife.

They didn't even know they were "role models of the times".

You probably have a habit of drinking at night.

Cast aside distracting thoughts.

At this moment, Li Mo made a phone call to her assistant.

"Arrange for me to watch 'Kung Fu Hustle' and 'New Police Story,' and make sure my wife gets a seat too."

Even after hanging up the phone, Li Mo kept thinking about it.

still is

Let's try to repair our relationship.

It's good for the family.

At this moment.

In the most luxurious bar in Beijing.

"Young Master Li" was indulging in singing and dancing here. At just over twenty years old, he was already a seasoned veteran of this bar.

Bottle after bottle of imported 'XO' and 'Champagne' were accompanied by a shout of 'Brother Li'.

And then there's Young Master Li.

Young Master Li is paying tonight.

That shout ignited passion and hormones; countless people wanted to get close to this young master Li. All the girls in the Passion Bar were casting flirtatious glances at him.

However, this young master Li would definitely not pay any attention to these ordinary women.

Not interesting.

At this moment, a girl sitting next to Li Yichun jokingly said.

"Young Master Li, you're so handsome, it's a shame you don't go into the entertainment industry. All those girls are attracted to you because of your money."

There is no shortage of wealthy people in the capital.

Li Yichun's wealth was certainly attractive, but his handsome appearance was what truly captivated the girls here.

Let's go to the bar.

They either seek wealth or beauty.

Li Yichun, all of them.

At this moment, the handsome young master Li smiled faintly.

"I definitely wouldn't go into the mainstream entertainment industry; it's pointless and the status isn't high."

"Our Young Master Li certainly doesn't go to places where ordinary people hang out," a young man next to Li Yichun said with a smile.

"Where will Young Master Li go?"

"Damn it, why ask so many questions?" The young man next to him was getting impatient.

The girl who was serving drinks wasn't oblivious; she quickly steered the conversation back on track and continued to smile.

These rich people.

Rich and powerful people

That's really perverted.

At this moment, Li Yichun was thinking.

Entertainment industry?

It's just a harem garden for capital.

The place I want to go is a place where capital can be turned into a playground.

It's the same industry.

There are also differences.

The Beijing circle, the central circle, and even more prestigious is the CCTV entertainment circle, which operates within the system.

I hope that one day I can become a role model of the times.

That circle.

At this moment.

The buzz surrounding "New Police Story" and "Kung Fu" has lasted for three days, and there's only one more day until the premiere in October.

During this period, neither Stephen Chow nor Jacky Heung made any statement.

These external noises cannot affect them.

Upon learning of Emperor Entertainment's publicity strategy, Cheng Shilong simply said "oh" and went about his business.

Chen Musheng remarked on this with emotion.

"That's probably the difference between Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow."

Cheng Shilong will continue to act on his whims, arbitrarily choosing to schedule his time to fight with Stephen Chow.

However, this doesn't stop the company from engaging in these off-screen antics; in fact, within Chengshilong's world, it's considered part of fair competition.

Publicity and promotion strategies.

They're just telling the truth.

Li Yun was indeed a failed auditionee for "New Police Story," so there's no point in hiding that.

Could it be...?

If you move to a different place, how can you expect something that couldn't stand up before to stand up now?

That's not how it works.

For this reason, the Emperor even arranged an exclusive interview with Andrew Ng.

And Andrew Ng.

He also agreed to an exclusive interview with Emperor Entertainment Group.

There's something interesting going on here!

If Stephen Chow has a lot of scandals...

This is yet another powerful blow to "Kung Fu Hustle".

Cheng Shilong also strived to advance this exclusive interview.

"Damn! Will Andrew Ng talk nonsense?" At this moment, Yuan Hua in Hong Kong was also a little anxious looking at the overwhelming negative news on the Internet.

Especially Andrew Ng.

He had a big argument with Stephen Chow.

They argued quite fiercely, almost to the point of breaking off their friendship.

At this point, if we were to say something harsh to Stephen Chow...

This is undoubtedly a major blow to the film's release.

"It can only be said that the business world is like a battlefield," Yang Xiaolong pondered. He hadn't expected that Emperor Entertainment would start fighting before the movie was even released.

They're bringing up these old, trivial matters and making a big deal out of them.

Now, let's start by examining Stephen Chow's character.

Stubborn to do things one's own way.

One-man rule.

Stubborn.

irritable.

These are well-known drawbacks, and many people in the Hong Kong entertainment circle are aware of them.

However, being aware of something does not mean it is widely known.

Especially at this time, it greatly affects public opinion and box office performance.

However, now...

Stephen Chow, as one of the parties involved.

They're still eating and drinking. They're doing what they always do.

"What can you do? Let's eat roast goose. What's the point of worrying so much?" Stephen Chow said casually. "Eat."

"Why don't you go and talk to Andrew Ng?"

"No need, let him say whatever he wants, let's eat."

at this time.

An interview with Andrew Ng has also begun; he only agreed to appear on camera after repeated requests.

He recounted his past with Stephen Chow.

Andrew Ng said somewhat impatiently.

"Yes, he gets angry easily, is domineering, stubborn, and has a very bad temper. My relationship with him is not as good as it is in the drama, absolutely not."

"Mr. Andrew Ng, does this mean you have little confidence in his 'Kung Fu Hustle'?" At this moment, the paparazzi reporter smiled slightly, now able to dig up news that could damage "Kung Fu Hustle".

however.

Andrew Ng at this time.

But he said...

"Oh, I didn't say that."

Andrew Ng abruptly changed the subject, catching the interviewers, who were usually so tactful, off guard. He just changed the subject like that?

At this time.

Andrew Ng said calmly.

"How should I put it? I don't trust his character."

"But I trust his judgment. Even if it's junk that others don't want, if he insists on using it, it must have its own merits."

"Even if it's junk, it's exceptionally junk."

"Going to Hong Kong to see the premiere."

Here's some good news and some bad news.

"What's the good news, and what's the bad news?"

Which one would you like to hear?

"Bad news."

"The bad news is that you are currently in the eye of the storm with 'Kung Fu Hustle' and 'New Police Story.' In terms of media discussion, you are second only to Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow, and even higher than Daniel Wu."

"That's a good thing."

"If the discussions are all positive, that's a good thing. The problem is, they're all talking about mocking you, and even your previous attempt to steal a role from Daniel Wu has been exposed and ridiculed."

"Uh, isn't it normal to compete for roles?" Li Yun said speechlessly, "Who hasn't had the experience of competing for roles with top-tier actors?"

I won't steal roles.

How do I upgrade my status?

"And the good news?"

"The good news is that expectations for you have reached their lowest point. Even if 'Kung Fu Hustle' flops, it won't have a significant impact on you."

Jiang Chenggang thought this should be considered good news.

When everyone's expectations are lowered enough.

The fact that Li Yun is inferior to Wu Yanzu has already formed in the minds of many people, or even without them needing to be formed; it is already an established fact.

It's even something that should be taken for granted.

A second-tier actor with his own unique characteristics, already famous, and even with his own box office appeal, is among the top actors in the second tier. If he continues to develop steadily, he will definitely be able to reach the first tier, or even win the Best Actor award.

Wu Yanzu's future is destined for success.

And a young, up-and-coming actor who has only recently risen to prominence and established himself as a third-tier film actor.

There's really no need to compare them, in fact, there's absolutely no possibility of comparison.

In anyone's eyes.

No one would think so.

Li Yun will be stronger than Wu Yanzu, right?

In the eyes of the audience, this is a settled matter, something that cannot be refuted, and the media feels the same way.

Therefore, this media offensive is aimed at Stephen Chow, and everything revolves around his "autocratic", "irritable", and "uncharacteristic" views.

In these matters, Li Yun's name is at most just a pretext, a trigger used to ignite the conflict.

At best, it's just a point of attack.

After thorough analysis, Li Yun is not even going to be an unlucky victim in this "battle of the gods." On the contrary, he might even survive because of this battle of the gods.

Of course, this is all on the premise that Li Yun's performance doesn't drag the show down.

Jiang Chenggang is confident in this, both in Stephen Chow and in Li Yun.

It will certainly be able to reach a qualified level.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng analyzed the bad news.

"That's good news, isn't it?"

Li Yun said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Isn't that good news? As long as your performance this time is passable, acceptable and doesn't drag the team down, the industry won't be so strict with you. Passing won't lower your status." Jiang Chenggang stroked his chin and said, "This is one of the better pieces of news we've come up with."

Can pass without holding anyone back.

This sounds like a good thing, doesn't it?

but.

At this moment, Li Yun grinned.

"Old Chiang, this is neither good news nor bad news for me."

"what?"

"Because there's absolutely no way I could lose to Wu Yanzu."

"Who said I'm weaker than him?"
