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

Chapter 335, I'm afraid you can't accept a defeat that's too cruel.

Li Yun's "improvisational" performance.

This made Liu Lili realize that Li Yun was indeed a talented person.

A very good talent.

But Liu Lili still took a deep breath and said.

"Daughter, I don't want you to experience too much cruel failure. I know your first movie is about to be released, it's called 'Silenced,' right? It's written, directed, and starred by this kid in front of you."

"You know that among the release dates you chose, there's a major movie that we're heavily promoting. Your movie is destined to be a flop."

"I want you to experience failure, but I don't want you to experience failure that is too cruel."

The capital of the Mingyao Group has not been moving much lately.

It's not that it's stopped moving.

Instead, they wanted to make a big splash.

Let's do something big.

This means that the next project may be launched around the same time as The Crucible.

Nolan's Dark Knight.

This is a key focus for Huaying Film, and it's part of a project that will be released concurrently with The Crucible.

According to Hollywood's predictions, this film is aiming to be a global box office champion.

Basically, any project that's been rumored to be doing so has had its release date postponed.

Only someone like Li Yun, a fearless newborn calf, would dare to act so recklessly at this time.

Failure is not scary.

What's terrifying is a failure that's too cruel.

When all your efforts fail to even make a splash, this kind of cruel failure can even damage a person's confidence.

She couldn't care less about Li Yun's failures or setbacks.

But she couldn't let her daughter lose faith because of this.

So Liu Lili's idea was to take her away from this cruel battlefield.

Arrive at the destination in advance.

"Mother, haven't you ever considered that I'm an adult capable of making my own decisions?" Liu Qianqian shook her head and said, "Like I said, if I really can't make waves here, I'll go to Hollywood with you, but until then, I still trust my own judgment."

"Please go back and stop harassing Brother Li. If you continue to harass him, it will likely cause a significant rift in our mother-daughter relationship."

"A scar and crack that can never be healed."

Lu Zhengguang, standing next to her, gave Liu Qianqian a thumbs up. This celestial beauty on screen has such a strong personality; indeed, appearances can be deceiving.

The Dark Knight.

It's definitely a fantastic movie.

Superhero movie series have already gained momentum in the country.

Starting from the Nolan era.

It has been able to achieve a considerable position in the domestic market.

But Li Yun was no pushover either.

The furnace isn't exactly a pushover either.

At this moment, Li Yun stroked his chin and said.

"Auntie, let me make you a bet."

"What kind of bet?"

"If our movie makes a splash, you promise not to bother Liu Qianqian or me for three years. I think we can both wait three years. Didn't you say that Hollywood always welcomes outstanding people?"

"If you really can't make a splash, then come to Hollywood with me."

After a moment's thought, Liu Lili extended an invitation to Li Yun.

Lu Zhengguang, who was standing next to me, wouldn't stand for it. "Trying to pull someone away in front of me?"

"One thing at a time. There's also what happened today. I need to hold Aunt Liu accountable. Let's prepare the compensation first." Li Yun smiled slightly.

"Okay, I admit I was being presumptuous and offensive this time as well."

I really didn't expect you to have such a background.

At this point, the matter was settled, and Li Yun pursued compensation.

Let's fight it out for real. You support your foreign films, and I'll support my own Chinese national treasures.

Everything is fine.

Only Liu Meng is still rambling on and on; he really is mentally ill! Don't be fooled by him!

Liu Lili was also a bit annoyed by this. Originally, it was Liu Meng who made trouble by insisting on bringing a large group of people.

"Ms. Liu, you are a singer and may not understand actors. His impromptu performance just now was quite good as an actor. He is indeed a talented person. If possible, I would also like to help him develop in Hollywood."

"He's insane! He's really insane!"

"It seems you have some deep misunderstandings about the acting profession."

No one was going to believe Liu Meng's words.

They will only believe.

Li Yun's acting is really good.

On the contrary, Liu Meng's behavior was hysterical, like someone with bipolar disorder.

Liu Lili began to wonder if bringing her to her side was a mistake.

"I'm sorry, my mother caused this trouble. Actually, she promised me beforehand that she wouldn't cause me any trouble when 'Silenced' was released..."

Liu Qianqian felt very guilty towards Li Yun.

"So how are you going to compensate me for all this trouble you've caused?" Li Yun asked Liu Qianqian sincerely.

Liu Qianqian bit her lip, just about to say something.

Li Yun covered her mouth with his finger—don't misunderstand, he used it to stop her.

"No, I was just joking. I'm not a petty person, and I understand your mother's thoughts. But Li Mo, that ex-lover, probably didn't have any good intentions."

"Don't blame your mother. Of course, I can blame her, after all, she came to my territory and caused trouble, and I certainly don't like that kind of behavior. As for Liu Qianqian, you are her daughter, her flesh and blood. No matter from your perspective, whether what she did was right or wrong, everything she did was for your sake, even if it was a kind of selfishness."

"But this kind of selfless selfishness can only arise between family members who love and care for each other."

At this moment, Li Yun spoke lazily.

Yes, that's what you call selfless selfishness.

Emotions arising from the perspective of love.

"Anyway, you should be prepared. Go back and have a good talk with your mom about our movie. Real family members don't hold grudges overnight." Li Yun smiled slightly. "Be prepared."

Liu Qianqian felt a warmth in her heart.

Yes, be prepared.

At this moment, Jiang Wen also arrived late. This old hand in Beijing's social circle came here with his brothers and their gear.

"All done?"

"Nothing's wrong, don't worry, it's nothing serious." Li Yun smiled and patted Jiang Wen on the shoulder.

"Seeing you wearing that tiger skin, and they still dare to start a rebellion, I respect them as real men." Jiang Wen looked at Colonel Li Yun's uniform and was somewhat dazed.

He's no longer worried about anyone using underhanded tactics to mess with Li Yun.

Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.

The person standing behind Li Yun.

That's not just a local powerhouse.

It's not really about targeting anyone, rather than the background.

However, there are other rumors this time as well. For example, the movie that will be competing with its own "Furnace" is Batman: The Dark Knight.

It's a milestone for superhero movies.

Liu Lili was absolutely right; this movie was definitely aiming for global box office success.

This film aims to achieve success at the global box office.

Trying to compete with him in the same time slot is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; smart people would have already moved off the scene.

"No wonder I heard that several domestic films have been shelved; it turns out Hollywood has something big going on."

Jiang Wen felt it was impressive but didn't really understand it, but he didn't have any particular feelings about it.

The domestic film market is already 70% dominated by foreign companies.

Whether you're eaten by one company or several, there doesn't seem to be any real difference.

Anyway, none of it is for our own consumption.

"By the way, Grandpa Lu lent us a crew, so we can start filming Let the Bullets Fly soon."

Jiang Wen thought to himself, "Grandpa Lu, you're calling him so affectionately."

At this moment, Jiang Wen glanced at Lu Zhengguang, who stood beside him with an imposing presence despite his lack of anger.

"It's easier to get things done if you have the right connections. So let's make some preparations and bring our 'Let the Bullets Fly,' which no one else is optimistic about, to life."

With the production crew in place.

That means preparing the actors.

Jiang Wen and Li Yun definitely have roles to play.

Li Yun is Huang Silang.

Jiang Wen was a bandit.

Li Yun was also somewhat eager to try.

He himself was Huang Silang.

To act alongside him.

What exactly is the scenario? How much box office success and achievement will this prematurely produced "Let the Bullets Fly" achieve?

No rush.

There's no rush.

Li Yun is a rising young actor.

Colonel in the Aerospace Force Cultural Troupe, a civilian cadre.

A national third-level actor.

A fledgling director.

He is a young man.

A very young person.

These resumes are on a young person.

Very good.

Even from Liu Lili's perspective, Li Yun is quite outstanding.

If he is really willing to go to Hollywood with me and Liu Qianqian, it's not impossible to support him properly.

He has considerable potential.

"I underestimated him before. Looking back, he got to where he is today without any support. If I had given him some support, he would have been incredible."

It could be said that a slight appreciation for talent has begun to emerge.

If we could lure him to Hollywood to play a supporting role for my daughter.

That would be like adding wings to a tiger, wouldn't it?

Liu Lili thought this way.

At this moment, Sisi returned home.

The atmosphere between the mother and daughter suddenly became somewhat awkward.

"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively this time."

"It's okay. Brother Li said that the willfulness and impulsiveness between family members can be forgiven if the intention is right." Liu Qianqian said with her head down.

These words made Liu Lili feel a little guilty.

Li Yun is so sensible and reasonable, which makes her seem like a rude old woman, completely clueless.

Yes, it's originally a matter between myself and my daughter, why bother Li Yun?

It's all that crazy woman Liu Meng's fault for instigating it.

He lost his mind for a moment.

I would do such a thing.

It could be said that I was too concerned and made a mistake, listening to Liu Meng and doing such a thing. If it were my old self, I definitely wouldn't have been persuaded by her.

They will definitely act more rationally.

"It seems that Li Yun isn't entirely without self-awareness after all." Liu Lili's expression softened even more, and Li Yun told her to get ready.

That means being prepared to fail.

It's quite normal; in the grand sweep of history, failure is nothing more than a common occurrence.

Or rather, even the most arrogant Shanghai and Beijing elite circles can only quietly cower and wait for the storm to pass under such a torrent of the times.

This is the kind of choice a normal person would make.

Liu Lili, on the contrary, thought Li Yun was quite outstanding.

If possible, try to get to know your daughter better.

It doesn't matter.

While not the absolute best, it's good enough to be considered an excellent field.

However, Liu Lili's thoughts were quickly interrupted by Liu Qianqian.

"No, Brother Li taught me to do this preparation."

"what?"

"I could sense that Brother Li was telling me to prepare, even though he didn't say it explicitly."

Liu Qianqian squinted slightly.

He told me to prepare myself for the flowers and applause that follow success.
