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

Chapter 249, Golden Eagle Award

At this moment, Li Yun returned to the capital and rested for quite some time.

During a dinner conversation with Jiang Cungang, Li Yun made a joke.

I want to get certified.

"What kind of certificate?" Jiang Chenggang asked in confusion. "What kind of certificate can you possibly have? A broadcasting and hosting certificate?"

Certified Public Accountant

"puff"

Jiang Chenggang almost spat out his water.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Hey, don't say that," Li Yun paused and said, "I was really just kidding you."

"Seeing your serious expression just now, I almost thought it was real," Jiang Chenggang said sincerely. "Your acting skills are getting better and better."

That's what they say.

Li Yun seemed quite serious just now.

I don't know what use this thing is, but having more certificates is never a bad thing, right?

However, the most amazing thing about Jimmy's skill is that he can understand the ledger.

As the major shareholder and boss of Shengchang Culture, all the company's accounts were clearly presented to Li Yun.

The immersion in knowledge also gave Li Yun a scholarly air—a true scholarly air.

When I play "intellectuals" in the future, I will feel more confident.

After all, in a sense, I have really become an intellectual like Jimmy.

The company's annual profit is around 400 million, after deducting investment, expenses, and even the actor's own salary!

A considerable number

"At this moment," Li Yun said.

"How's it going with Crazy Stone?"

"The filming is proceeding at a rapid pace, and it should be considered to be going smoothly," Jiang Chenggang thought for a moment, and he even went to visit the set.

Crazy Stone can be summed up in one sentence.

It's really kind of funny.

As a comedy film.

Jiang Chenggang felt a bit like when he watched "Barrels of Smoking" back in the day.

"Oh ho, you've even seen 'The Three Smoking Barrels'?" Li Yun teased.

"How about it? Not bad taste, huh? Let me tell you, I've seen quite a few classic foreign films. Don't underestimate my film-watching history," Jiang Chenggang said, chuckling with pride.

Classic foreign films.

at this time.

Li Yun thought to himself, "Jiang Chenggang is arrogant because of his extensive viewing of foreign films."

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.

Some movies are indeed of top quality.

For example, Jiang Chenggang's "Three Smoking Barrels".

It's definitely a classic.

At this moment, Li Yun clicked his tongue in amazement.

"What you said is making me a little itchy to do it."

"Um?"

Li Yun thought for a moment.

Now I have an actor—the best actor, myself, with considerable talent.

My company also has working capital.

Li Yun suddenly realized.

I now have guns and ammunition.

And there's also the amount of film I've watched.

It's wrong for ambition to swell within, and it's not just about ambition.

And these increasingly harassing individuals, merely waiting for film offers, cannot satisfy them.

It cannot satisfy this considerable number of personalities.

At this moment, Li Yun murmured.

"Could I try making my own movie?"

As for TV dramas, forget about it. You can just wait for offers to come in. There isn't that much demand for excellent TV dramas in China. It's a relatively closed market with not much room for maneuver.

Unless, of course, we reach the era of web dramas—but even the era of web dramas took off thanks to the development of 4G data and the widespread adoption of fiber optics.

It's not time yet.

The times haven't changed.

But at this moment.

As for movies

Just like what Du Qifeng said at the dinner table back then.

The decline of the Hong Kong film market, besides the stagnation of subject matter, is also largely due to the encroachment on its market share.

Foreign films are more exciting, with more explosive sound effects and more dramatic plots. They have an industrialized production model, and basically each release can take up 70% of the box office, while the domestic market only gets 30%, which is hardly enough!

At this rate, if you don't decline, who will? It's a path to certain death!

This creates a vicious cycle: worse box office returns, worse funding, and the resulting films will inevitably be worse and more conservative.

After all, a full stomach makes it easier to get to work.

Of course, part of the reason is what Du Qifeng once mentioned at the dinner table: the "Mingyao Group capital." Hong Kong is actually okay, but in the mainland market, they are really controlled.

It is a capital faction within Huada Film & Television, advocating for the vigorous introduction of outstanding foreign works so that the public has a legitimate and reasonable channel to be influenced by excellent artistic works, allowing truly good money to drive out bad.

As a result, nearly half of the box office market has been eroded.

It wasn't just foreign films that made a big impact.

Mingyao Group has also put considerable effort into promoting and distributing foreign films in conjunction with theatrical releases.

It's not shabby to earn money.

Huada Film & Television is actually a "public-private partnership" enterprise, with one department responsible for acting as an agent for the distribution of foreign publications.

Only BGI Genomics is qualified to jointly distribute foreign publications.

To paraphrase Du Qifeng.

Compared to China.

This is the capital of the Mingyao Group.

Isn't it just being a "comprador"?

Do you think being a director is difficult?

"Difficult, very difficult," Jiang Chenggang said thoughtfully, and then gave Li Yun a whole bunch of information.

Of course, Li Yun was listening.

"Are you having some strange thoughts? Stop thinking about it. You're an actor, you know this is much harder than being an actor. Are you really listening?"

"I'm listening."

Jiang Chenggang watched as Li Yun listened intently to what he was saying.

But the focus wasn't on himself, but on what was behind him.

Li Yun was indeed listening attentively.

But it wasn't Jiang Chenggang speaking; it was his own personality—a personality called "Director."

He was talking at length to Li Yun about professional matters, and he was very professional.

At this moment, Jiang Chenggang still pondered.

"Then let the professionals do what they're good at."

Li Yun nodded in agreement.

"Yes, let professionals do what they are good at."

Looking at the six personalities beside him.

they.

They should all have their own areas of expertise.

After filming "Hey Society", Li Yun was at home waiting for something to do.

Going to the Golden Eagle Awards ceremony

Even Jiang Chenggang didn't expect that the Golden Eagle Awards would nominate "Lotus Lantern" and "Chinese Paladin".

I never expected these two TV series to actually make it to the Golden Eagle Awards. You know, the Golden Eagle Awards in previous years were all so patriotic and patriotic, so it's almost unbelievable that these two series even made it to the nomination table.

"I still think it's amazing."

Jiang Chenggang clicked his tongue and said, "By the way, can you tell me what got you nominated?"

As for what was nominated in "Lotus Lantern" and "Chinese Paladin", Jiang Chenggang was also slightly curious.

Li Yun simply smiled slightly.

"You're asking me? Who should I ask?"

"Huh? You don't know either?"

"Yes, I only know that people from both of our production teams have been nominated, but I really don't know who they are."

"Then why do you look so confident!" Jiang Chenggang was taken aback, thinking that Li Yun would give him a surprise.

Unexpectedly, Li Yun shrugged and said, "We don't know either."

"I acted so well, I definitely deserve a nomination, right?" Li Yun said matter-of-factly. "Shouldn't I?"

"You're amazing, you're really amazing. You're so confident even with the Golden Eagle Award."

Jiang Chenggang's lips twitched.

It turns out that Li Yun's confidence came from nowhere.

It's really just confidence, I don't know where it comes from, it's just inexplicable confidence.

"However, you'd better dress better this time." Jiang Chenggang looked at Li Yun very seriously and earnestly: "This is your first time walking the red carpet, and your first time experiencing something like this, which is one of the three major award ceremonies. It's quite an important event."

"Don't hesitate! When we walk the red carpet, we have to look as handsome as possible. We absolutely can't let others outshine us."

Three major awards for Chinese-language TV dramas.

Flying Apsaras, Golden Eagle, White Magnolia.

The most hilarious of the three major Chinese-language TV dramas.

A place that countless TV drama professionals dream of.

A place I've always dreamed of visiting.

But most actors, let alone winning awards, don't even have the right to walk the red carpet.

This has also led to the emergence of a new category of celebrities.

They're called "carpet stars".

They focus on using various means to appear on the red carpet at these major award ceremonies.

In later generations, they were given a more systematic name.

They are called "internet celebrities".

This also shows the prestige of such occasions. Even the qualification to appear in this place can be regarded as the category of a star actor, which shows how prestigious it is.

These three awards are also considered prestigious when walking the red carpet.

This is at least one of the most prestigious occasions in the country.

Li Yun also tried on the "equipment" she would be wearing to the Golden Eagle Awards, which consisted of products endorsed by various companies.

Last time, walking down this red carpet wearing their products earned you a generous reward.

This is also the principle behind the creation of "carpet stars".

At this moment, Jiang Chenggang said.

"Not bad, not bad, you have to be handsome to fetch a good price."

They look like they're doing something nice.

"I can sell it for a good price, that's good. I used to sell it by weight." Li Yun laughed and looked at himself in the mirror. He was indeed very handsome. His clothes were from a niche Chinese fashion brand, and his watch was also from the domestic brand "Fengyue Guochao".

Everything from head to toe is made in China.

Jiang Chenggang is quite supportive of Li Yunxuan's endorsement style.

It may be less money, but it's about patriotism!

Of course, Li Yun thought that domestic brands wouldn't crash like foreign brands.

After all, their ideology has infiltrated every aspect of life, and they could very well cause a mishap in a place you can't guard against. As time travelers, we definitely need to have our own information gaps. Many celebrities have also stumbled in this regard.

The background check was not done carefully.

Looking in the mirror, I saw myself as handsome as ever.

Li Yun smiled slightly.

"Let's go to the Golden Eagle Awards. My first time walking the red carpet!"
