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

Chapter 298, Let the Bullets Fly for a While

Jiang Wen.

The film industry insiders, the geniuses who took "Devils on the Doorstep" to the Cannes Film Festival to cause trouble without approval back then.

This is a brutal export of Chinese cinema.

Using Jiang Wen's unique sense of humor?

Or rather, his unique shooting philosophy earned Mr. Jiang Wen the reputation of a genius.

Jiang Wen, the Genius

His eccentricity was already well-known long ago.

Although many people have taken a liking to this unruly young director and wanted to embark on a great career in directing with him.

But in reality, while others are choosing him, he may also be choosing someone else.

He was also picking other people; this future director Jiang was quite the character.

At this moment, Li Yunlai came to him for tea.

Jiang Wen looked at the bland tea in his hand and clicked his tongue in disapproval.

(Please remember 1110.com for the fastest chapter updates)

I prefer alcohol to tea.

"Well, I'm the opposite of you. I prefer tea to alcohol," Li Yun smiled.

Jiang Chenggang, who was not far away, watched Li Yun and Jiang Wen.

Why did they start off at each other's throats?

Unexpectedly, Li Yun and Jiang Wen looked at each other and smiled even more brightly.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Chenggang looked confused.

Jiang Wen laughed heartily.

"I met some like-minded friends while laughing."

How did we end up matching numbers?

A person who loves to drink tea.

One who loves to drink.

Li Yun smiled and said.

"Because none of us like coffee."

"Hahaha! A kindred spirit! A true friend!"

This method of communication left Jiang Chenggang, an outsider, somewhat confused about the intricacies involved.

It even gave him the feeling that there was already a distance between him and the two of them!

We're different.

"To be honest, Li Yun, I have a question for you," Jiang Wen suddenly said from the table, "So, what made you decide to take this self-directed, self-acted route?"

"Because I'm awesome."

"what!"

Jiang Wen exclaimed in shock, "Even your initial motivations and reasons are the same as mine! You're a kindred spirit!"

Jiang Chenggang: "."

Yes, Jiang Wen's original intention in making movies was actually very simple and pure.

Because I'm awesome.

Because I'm awesome.

Because I can do things that others can't, to showcase my talents.

This was the original intention.

Because he was a genius, he went further than others on the road to fame and fortune.

This is Jiang Wen, pursuing fame and fortune.

He had no grand ambitions to save the domestic film market; he was an "angry young man," but his initial intentions were definitely not that noble.

We are human beings.

They have desires and thoughts that normal people should pursue.

And this idea is probably what it is now.

On the road of pursuing fame and fortune, a road that runs relentlessly.

Jiang Wen's films are full of his own personal touches, and he makes no secret of telling everyone that his films are mixed with a lot of his own ideas.

Every human being has their own ideals and beliefs.

That will lead to so-called "personal agendas".

Or rather, it's a personal style.

He was very candid, and his thoughts were incorporated into both "The Sun Also Rises" and "Devils on the Doorstep".

His decision to trespass at the Cannes Film Festival wasn't because he was genuinely drawn to the prestige of foreign awards.

It was simply a feeling.

Those moviegoers in China who blindly praise foreign films have a very narrow perspective.

Who says foreign products are absolutely better, and who says domestic products are absolutely worse?

Jiang Wen sighed at this moment.

"It's a pity I didn't meet you sooner, otherwise I would have followed you."

"Actually, it's not a bad idea to start now."

Li Yun smiled, his eyes narrowed.

Then I wrote a few words on the table with tea stains.

Let the Bullets Fly.

"Let the Bullets Fly" is Jiang Wen's masterpiece from his mature period.

He is not mature enough yet to produce this work.

But... Li Yun is here!

To be shameless, I possess the same talent that Jiang Wenji had when he was at the height of his literary prowess.

I can do it myself.

At this moment, Jiang Wen was listening to Li Yun's script.

I just felt this was a magnificent piece of writing!

Just listening to it is exhilarating.

"Your script is so brilliant, it's as if I wrote it myself," Jiang Wen exclaimed sincerely. "Amazing!"

Indeed, this was the best compliment Jiang Wen could think of.

This truly resonated deeply with Jiang Wen.

You could even say that just listening to the script got me all fired up.

At least for him, this situation is probably quite rare.

I actually talked to Jiang Wen a lot, and he's a bit of a cynical person about the state of the domestic film market.

The entire Chinese-language film market has now become a stepping stone.

Everyone just uses this place as a stepping stone.

The ultimate goal is to go to Hollywood, a place that domestic TV and film professionals are all pursuing.

Hollywood, the ultimate destination.

The ultimate dream of actors.

After Li Lianjie went to Hollywood for a film, his net worth has skyrocketed to nearly 100 million yuan.

Back then, Master Zhen, who was with him, was probably worth only one-tenth of Jet Li's.

That the difference between humans and dogs is even greater is a bit of an exaggeration.

But this gap is definitely not something that can be bridged in a few words.

The complaints in his words were palpable.

Li Yun discovered something.

As long as they are domestic filmmakers, whether directors or producers.

They all deeply resent foreign films.

After all, this is a market worth real money that is being eroded and encroached upon.

Lu Zhengguang and his group saw further and more deeply, not only the film market and the loss of real money, but also the encroachment on ideology.

Li Yun seemed to understand why his cheap father was being promoted as a role model of the times.

It wasn't because he truly possessed such lofty moral awareness.

It's not because he's bad, but because he genuinely has the ability to create great works.

A critically acclaimed and commercially successful work.

The domestic film market needs people like him.

Absolutely necessary.

We also need someone like myself.

Li Yun occasionally pondered this question as well.

If we must have a role model for this era, we need a representative from the film industry.

Then why does it have to be him?

Am I capable?

Planning a movie doesn't happen that quickly.

Especially when no results have been achieved, progress is exceptionally slow.

The filming of "The Crucible" has now been completed.

My first film is not yet ready for release.

But it's okay.

Jiang Wen can go and handle the matters before filming begins.

The pre-production process for a film is quite lengthy.

Jiang Wen volunteered to become the assistant director of Let the Bullets Fly.

Although this decision seemed strange and odd to all his friends, who even thought he had gone mad.

No matter what, his film "Devils on the Doorstep" was shown at the Cannes Film Festival. Why would he lower himself to a new director who doesn't even have a single mature work?

Perhaps it's just a nominal position?

Jiang Wen said no.

It's not just a matter of being a figurehead; I'm genuinely going to be involved in the production of Let the Bullets Fly.

He genuinely believed in the script.

Ok.

In fact, Jiang Wen is also quite eccentric within his own circle.

Some are unconventional.

On Li Yun's side, Jiang Chenggang was also busy with the production of the furnace, editing, and other related matters.

However, he's already quite adept at this.

After all, Crazy Stone is also a product of our company.

They are quite proficient at following this process.

It's already a well-established film production and distribution company.

At least I have some experience.

Although Jiang Chenggang was not very optimistic about Li Yun's self-filmed and self-acted project, he still did his best to provide the most resources and support.

In fact, Jiang Chenggang realized something: having a resume of writing, directing, and acting in his own films is not necessarily a bad thing.

It's definitely not a bad thing.

If a single, all-out failure can help Li Yun refocus and work diligently in his field.

This is definitely not a bad thing; in some ways, it's even a good thing. So Jiang Chenggang didn't hesitate and used all his skills and connections to do it wholeheartedly.

Crazy Stone, pick a few groups of people to help, to add bricks and tiles to this movie.

He went to take care of things over there.

Li Yun rested quietly at home, waiting.

Waiting for the release of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

This is a top-tier IP production presented by Zhang Dahuzi, one of the most prominent and sought-after producers in the Beijing TV drama circle.

The Return of the Condor Heroes.

The Little Dragon Girl, an unforgettable childhood memory for so many, is a story that witnessed the growth of a chivalrous hero.

From a nobody in the underworld.

The story of growing into a great and upright hero.

Growth from multiple perspectives.

The extreme difficulty of the performance, coupled with the prevailing bias towards the past and the rejection of the present, has already caused a storm of negative reviews online even before the drama has aired.

Gu Tianle's fans started to go crazy.

TVB fans are going crazy.

Of course, there is another group that is most unexpected: the fans of Mr. Jin Yong's original novels, who have begun to express their opinions online.

That means boycotting this version of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

Every year there are remakes, and this sentiment is particularly strong this year, especially regarding Zhang Dahuzi's version of The Return of the Condor Heroes, given his strong personal style in directing the series.

For many fans of the original work, this kind of personal style is a desecration of the original work.

Fans of the original work are almost pathologically obsessed with the so-called "original flavor," and they strongly oppose Zhang Dahuzi's penchant for playing with wind machines and making drastic changes to the character settings.

The number one in conflict is Zhang Da Huzi.

The second place did not go to Li Yun, but to the fairy Liu Qianqian.

Li Yun, on the contrary, ranked third on the list of those most criticized.
