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

Chapter 492, The Madman's Decision, Awaiting the Point of Public Opinion to Erupt!

Li Yun's appearance was like a thunderclap out of nowhere.

This shattered Wang Haibo's arrogance in an instant. This is exactly the image Li Yun presented at this moment.

There's always another mountain higher than the one you climb.

Younger, more "free," more unrestrained, and more qualified to be arrogant, Li Yun!

He doesn't need to worry about offending his "seniors" and affecting his future, because he himself is the "future" in the industry.

He can be arrogant.

"I feel like he's even more arrogant than Wang Haibo in our family," Jiang Dali murmured at this moment.

But he couldn't muster any negative feelings.

Because he felt that Li Yun's virtue matched his unparalleled strength.

That's enough to support this arrogance.

It can support Li Yun's arrogant words.

He won both the Magnolia Award for Best Actor and the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor in the same year!

"They've won both the Magnolia Award and the Golden Eagle Award."

At this moment, Jiang Chenggang was still in a daze. Winning two Best Actor awards in one year—he never dreamed this would happen.

Looking at the two trophies in front of him, he knew that this had really happened. Two Best Actor awards in one year—this was something that had happened to Li Yun.

What can be said now is...

Li Yun's name is the same as his title of two TV Kings.

It's so real and vivid, so incredibly powerful.

The hype has been building up again, just waiting for a public outcry to erupt.

The bullet is about to fly out!

"How's it going, Plum? This bullet should be able to hit the ground by now."

At this moment, Jiang Chenggang was excitedly watching Li Yun.

However, Li Yun remained remarkably calm as he looked at the magnolia and golden eagle trophies.

His eyes remained completely expressionless.

He remained remarkably calm and composed.

It's still not enough, not enough, not enough, not enough.

Jiang Chenggang had a strong feeling, and Li Yun probably felt that, as things stand, it was still not enough.

It's still not enough to get it implemented.

"Only the Hundred Flowers Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards remain. These are the only two awards nominated this year."

At this moment, Li Yun said calmly.

"To create these two explosive public opinions and propel my work forward."

"Are you sure you can achieve something at the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Hundred Flowers Awards?" Jiang Chenggang asked Li Yun, his lips twitching. He felt that Li Yun was extremely arrogant.

He was arrogant to the extreme.

But Jiang Chenggang just felt that Li Yun seemed to

If it were him.

A miracle has already been created.

If the movie allows him to create another miracle.

That final burst of popularity.

That would be incredibly explosive.

One person won two prizes.

This is not a strange thing.

Like Chen Jianbo and Liu Hewei, both are TV Kings who have won two awards; they have both received multiple honors.

But Li Yun is just a young man.

People like Chen Jianbo and Liu Hewei are already approaching their 50s.

Having entered the later stages of life, achieving such results at this stage is a source of great honor and pride when looking back on one's life.

When surrounded by children and grandchildren, one can share with them the achievements and pride one has gained in life.

This is a life worthy of honor.

This is a life story worth telling.

But the achievements made in his old age were easily obtained by a young man. Even Liu Shanhe, who did not approve of Li Yun, had to admit it at this moment.

This guy is a monster.

A monster in the circle, recklessly challenging everyone's common sense, telling everyone what talent and ability should really be.

"I never imagined he could grow to where he is today. Should I say I had good judgment back then, or that we, the older generation, are destined to be swept away by the younger generation?" Zhang Dahuzi, standing next to Liu Shanhe, was promoting the upcoming new screenplay.

"Wesley," a classic and powerful work created by three formidable directors using the most classic script.

It is also one of the few works in this science fiction project that is seriously filmed rather than just trying to get subsidies, and it also has the determination and will to reach the top.

The three of them worked together.

In addition, there's the absolute resources within the CCTV circle and control over the script.

The powerful TV series they created, a super-long science fiction drama with 39 episodes.

It includes most of the popular stories from the Wesley series.

"As an actor, he may have really reached his limit. The fact that the two most outstanding veteran actors in our CCTV circle have admitted defeat to him only shows that he is far ahead of his peers in this field."

At this moment, Liu Shanhe sighed softly.

Li Yun is absolutely a gem in the entertainment industry. As an actor, he is the kind of powerful actor that every director would want. Even though he is being targeted by the Beijing film circle, his absolute strength is undeniable, and no director would refuse him.

This is the privilege that comes with absolute power. For others, it might be a capital offense, but for Li Yun, it is not so, absolutely not.

"Not to mention that he is also a director and screenwriter. He is incredibly talented. Such ability is admirable. He can make films he likes without being restricted by anyone. He has already reached the pinnacle that everyone can imagine."

Listening to Zhang Dahuzi and Li Liguo's chattering discussion, Liu Shanhe was thinking about something else entirely.

"peak"

What is Li Yun pursuing? Logically speaking, at his age, having achieved so much, he shouldn't need to think about anything else, but it seems he is still not satisfied.

Even after winning two Best Actor awards, he still hasn't done any publicity.

I knew it wasn't enough.

That's what he wants.

That wasn't enough; he was still trying to seize something.

Still, a desire remains.

Liu Shanhe could sense it because he was essentially that kind of person. Logically speaking, the former director of the August First Film Studio had already achieved great success. Generally speaking, his life would have been complete at that point.

But here, they still "pursue" it, pursuing it day and night.

There was still a desire that he could feel.

Burning 'desire'.

Because what is the peak in the eyes of ordinary people is not the peak in their eyes.

Liu Shanhe knew that Li Yun was the same kind of person as him, who was not pursuing the so-called "peak", but the absolute freedom after breaking through the "peak".

After breaking through the peak.

The freedom to leave one's name in history.

"Actually, I wanted to ask you, what kind of results are you hoping to achieve with 'Dying to Survive' and 'The Three-Body Problem'?"

Jiang Chenggang's understanding of Li Yun was actually quite straightforward.

A struggling actor in Hengdian, aspiring to become a great actor, has now become a Best Actor winner, receiving both the Golden Eagle Award and the Magnolia Award, achieving a level of success that is difficult for ordinary people to attain.

Thinking back to those days, when I first met Li Yun, I remember the bold and ambitious words he uttered.

At that time, my dream, or rather what I thought, was just to be a decent agent, to have some connections in the entertainment industry, to have my own life, and to even be able to sexually harass actresses in my spare time. I thought that kind of life would be pretty good and comfortable.

There weren't any particularly high demands or extravagant requests.

But the achievements we have made today.

It far surpasses the ideals of that year, just like the things I thought and desired back then. It far surpasses what I wanted.

But even now, the desires within me show no signs of stopping.

Jiang Chenggang realized that he had been unaware of it.

He was also influenced by Li Yun, his ambition and domineering thoughts clashing fiercely. Things he dared not think about before, he now dared to think about. Desires that he never even dared to entertain before were now spreading rapidly in his mind.

So he asked.

Li Yun

What you think about, what you want.

What exactly is it?

The results you want to achieve.

At this moment, Li Yun, who was researching The Wandering Earth, brought his thoughts back to reality.

What is it that I want?

"I want to turn this industry upside down, to make it completely obliterate the sun and moon. I want the entire Eastern entertainment industry, the film industry, and the television industry to revolve around me, to be the most respected. I want to stand above everyone, including the West, including Hollywood. I want to be remembered in history, to leave my name in history! That's what I want."

"I will stand above all people, all of them."

At this moment, Li Yun excitedly expressed his desires.

Even the upcoming Hong Kong Film Awards and Hundred Flowers Awards are not my goals. They are merely a prelude to the popularity of "The Three-Body Problem" and "Dying to Survive," just promotional tools for these two works.

This Emperor-level award alone was no longer enough for Li Yun. He pursued more and more things that could satisfy his desires.

"I'm watching you, seeing how far your desires will ultimately lead." At this moment, the director's personality suddenly reappeared.

It's just compared to the past.

A hint of amusement crept onto the director's lips.

It seemed that Li Yun had a strange, mocking tone.

It seemed that he wasn't mocking Li Yun, but rather mocking himself.

Why are you making fun of yourself?

In the end, you're just an observer who can only watch me achieve success and fame.

No matter how much you make fun of yourself, you can't change that.

is it?

Li Yun's popularity was also rising at this time.

Two TV Kings came out.

No matter how much we try to fuel the hype, this buzz will continue to exist here and will not change, because no matter what, it is an extremely powerful achievement, an undeniable and incredible result.

The most grief-stricken people were probably the idol fans who had previously criticized Li Yun. The hype they generated actually helped Li Yun.

"A two-time TV King at under thirty years old—do you know that there will be no one like him in the future, but he's definitely unprecedented."

At this moment, Tang Min felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and reflection).

Feeling the buzz online.

She couldn't imagine what would happen if someone added fuel to the fire at this time.

How explosive will his popularity become?

I can't even imagine how powerful it could become.

Now, even the simple process of natural fermentation has generated such a huge buzz, reaching a point that feels somewhat unbelievable.

She was actually a little confused from the beginning about why Li Yun would pretend to be dead at this time.

In other words, the company's agents did not provide any feedback that fueled the situation.

In Tang Min's view, if they don't move at this time...

That is a dereliction of duty on the part of the agency in promoting the project. If it were one of her artists who had achieved such success, she would have already announced it widely and made a big fuss about it to everyone.

Their company has such an awesome person.

But now...

The buzz is still building naturally.

There was no sign of capital being used to promote it.

That's really strange.

"It is indeed a bit strange. You could say that the current feedback is foolish, foolish to the point of being ignorant. I don't know what he's thinking or what he wants to do, but based on my understanding of Li Yun, he is not a stupid person."

Wang Jinghua, who was standing next to her, was also deep in thought.

Because Li Yun's behavior does not conform to business logic.

However, very soon.

Tang Min said subconsciously.

"We analyze it using a businessman's logic. But he's a genius, a prodigy."

"No matter how you analyze it using the logic of genius and prodigy, what difference does it make? I've already analyzed it from every angle."

It's funny, really.

Two CEOs of major companies actually spent time analyzing the motivations and logic behind one person's behavior.

They gathered together and racked their brains to think.

It seems as if he is trying to squeeze out all the thoughts he has ever had in his life.

Li Yun deserves this kind of analysis because of his personal influence; every move he makes will cause a stir in the entire public opinion circle. The two of them need to consider Li Yun's next move to avoid making decisions that clash with his.

That would be a huge disaster.

Li Yun's influence is enough to make him a behemoth when analyzed in this way.

It's just a circle.

Yes, Li Yun is now completely like a circle; his influence is entirely circle-level.

Just like Stephen Chow and Jackie Chan back in the day.

Each of them can represent an entire circle.

Each of them wields influence within their own circle.

This can influence a company's decision-making.

It affects the influence of the decision-making level.

However, after thinking for a long time, Wang Jinghua suddenly said.

"It seems there's only one perspective from which we haven't analyzed it."

"Who is it?"

"A madman, only madmen make decisions. We haven't considered what choice a madman would make in this situation?"

madman

At this moment, Wang Jinghua and Tang Min seriously considered how a madman would make decisions.

If he were a madman, he would feel that winning the Best Actor award wasn't the end of the story.

Because he is Li Yun, not just a television actor, but also a film actor, director, and screenwriter. Coincidentally, the Hundred Flowers Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards are very close together.

He can wait for an award.

Why can't we wait for the second or third one?

He can do the same.

It is absolutely possible to do that.

Even the most confident person.

There was only one madman.

That's why such a decision was made.
