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

Chapter 496, No matter how dazzling the fireworks, I must witness them myself.

At this time, many people in Beijing's social circle directly replied to Lü Haishi, expressing their support for the upcoming Great Wall concert.

See you there!

The responses he received one after another pleased Lü Haishi greatly; most people in the industry were wise enough to know when to yield.

Most of them understand and know themselves.

What do you need to survive in this circle, or rather, who is the real boss in this circle?

Wang Jinghua stood in front of him, without revealing any of her emotions.

At this moment, Lü Haishi spoke.

"Go and talk to the actors in 'Dying to Survive' and give them another chance. Some of them have a lot of potential. Don't condemn them after just one chance."

The film "Dying to Survive" features many excellent actors.

At least in Lü Haishi's view, giving him another chance is not something that is impossible.

This is a gift bestowed upon talented people.

A reward.

"I never imagined that one day I would become the center of attention, making this nobody feel flattered and overwhelmed."

At this moment, Wang Chuanjun was reflecting on himself.

I'm a little nervous.

Even he himself did not expect the popularity to have grown to this point.

It's not just about the buzz outside the circle, but also about the elements within the circle.

The buzz outside the industry goes without saying. In this National Day film season featuring the Sino-US co-production The Great Wall, only one person dared to appear, and that was "Dying to Survive".

That's Li Yun.

They dared to brandish their fangs at this absolute, authoritative overlord.

To bare one's fangs at the stronger.

"Actually, The Great Wall is also very impressive. It's a Sino-US co-production, using the most advanced special effects technology. Plus, with Zhang Yimou's script and direction, it can basically be said to be the top production in China, the number one." Peng Yuyan was watching Wang Chuanjun from the side. The two of them occasionally have a drink together.

The two are now calming down in a bar in Beijing.

Both of them were filled with emotion this time.

The uproar caused by this movie.

The response within the industry has been enormous.

"You two are drinking here? Would it be alright if I, a middle-aged woman, joined you?"

At this moment, a voice broke the silence between Wang Chuanjun and Peng Yuyan.

The visitor was Wang Jinghua.

It seems they came on purpose.

"Aunt Wang is coming, she'll definitely be welcome anytime."

"Welcome, welcome."

Wang Chuanjun looked at Wang Jinghua, a big shot he had never met before, who had been drinking with him at the same table yesterday.

It looks quite regrettable.

"I don't like to beat around the bush. The reason I'm here is to advise you on something. Come to the Great Wall for the National Day premiere the day after tomorrow."

It was supposed to be an invitation to the premiere, but if I had to say, it was more like an invitation to take sides.

Will they stand with the old Beijing circle, or will they fall into the abyss together with this brand-new circle?

"Mr. Wang, would you like a Black Spade Three?" Peng Yuyan smiled slightly, seemingly unrelated to the question: "I heard it's a new thing that just came out recently. It's not expensive, but it's very novel and popular with young and pretty girls. Girls like it, and I like it too."

"You are still young. You don't know how many things are born and destroyed in this world. New things are always very tempting. They are young and full of passion, but they are like the ephemeral flower. They just show their beauty and splendor and then disappear."

Wang Jinghua looked at Peng Yuyan, who was smiling, and said this.

"You can still turn back. It's not too late to go back now. You have no idea what it means when two giants from Beijing and Hollywood join forces."

"I know, I'm invincible."

Peng Yuyan shrugged.

"In every sense, this project is unbeatable, and the future of cooperation between the Beijing entertainment circle and Hollywood, which this project represents, is bright, prosperous, dazzling and extraordinary."

Wang Jinghua waited quietly for the plot to turn around.

"But this is not what I want."

At this moment, Peng Yuyan raised her wine glass and smiled slightly: "None of these are what I desire."

Even if the fire burns brilliantly, if this is the last time you burn, will you have no regrets?

No regrets.

"And what about you?" Wang Jinghua asked, looking at Wang Chuanjun beside her.

This is an actor from a sitcom with a very thin resume, but he was even the second lead in the cast of "Dying to Survive," with a higher priority than Eddie Peng.

Although it was just a side effect.

But Wang Jinghua still wanted to bring this sitcom actor away.

Given his status, to receive a personal invitation from Wang Jinghua, he would generally bow down in obeisance.

If you can't get rid of Peng Yuyan, you can get rid of Wang Chuanjun instead.

The premiere scene; today marks the start of the premiere.

The two films, "Dying to Survive" and "The Great Wall," will be released simultaneously at 00:00 on October 1st.

Not only actors, directors, and musicians in the industry, but even the media have to take sides.

Which media outlets are coming to Beijing?

Which media outlets are prohibited from going to that side seems to be strictly regulated.

At this point, Jiang Chenggang had already received some phone calls. Some media people who had originally agreed to come to the premiere of "Dying to Survive" had all canceled, apologizing profusely for not being able to attend due to special circumstances.

Faced with these repeated apologies, Jiang Chenggang was speechless but had nothing to say.

You can't force media people to come, can you?

Li Yun remained calm and composed, dressed neatly in the movie theater, standing there as the lead actor, director, producer, and distributor.

Compared to Siege of October, I am not a god of medicine, just like Li Yun's biological offspring.

They are purely biological children.

"This is a bit troublesome. I don't know if it will turn out badly." Jiang Chenggang was somewhat surprised. He had contacted many media outlets before, but at this moment, they all expressed that they could not help.

It's not that we didn't have a good enough relationship with you, Chiang Kai-shek, but rather that the bigwigs in Beijing's elite circles are just too powerful.

They said it quite nicely, that they weren't forcing you to choose between the two options, and that you could still participate. This isn't the premiere of "Dying to Survive," but we don't know what kind of impact it would have on your schedule if we knew about this.

This is also why most people dare not make any moves.

When the law has no boundaries, its power is immeasurable.

Nobody knows what the outcome and consequences will be if they do this.

Nobody dares to gamble.

If you think about it carefully, if there really isn't a single media outlet present, the situation will become quite ugly.

"Don't blame those media moguls. Those privileged kids from the compound, who would dare to mess with them? Unless you're a hothead, you wouldn't dare to go against them."

"So Jiang Wen, why did you come to this premiere?" Jiang Chenggang was somewhat speechless: "You came along too."

"Li Yun is my good buddy, so it makes perfect sense for me to come," Jiang Wen said with a slight smile. This time, he had also made a huge sacrifice.

His resources were still deeply integrated into the Beijing entertainment circle, but at this time, he chose to appear in front of Li Yun.

"Thank you." Li Yun sincerely thanked Jiang Wen. This was a genuine expression of support, a support that put his own interests aside.

Self-interest outweighs friendship.

This is a rare and admirable example of morality.

"You don't need to thank me, but if you produce a piece of garbage, I won't hold back my curses. You know, I can be really nasty when it comes to swearing."

Jiang Wen then quipped, "He was being very serious."

Extremely serious.

Because this movie, in terms of its subject matter, should be considered an art-house work, and it seems to have some mythological elements in it.

Mythology, reality, art.

It's hard to say what will happen when these elements are combined, but it's certainly not a simple matter.

"If the work is bad, you can criticize me all you want, even with the most vicious curses."

Li Yun smiled slightly and led Jiang Wen to his seat.

This is the first guest to arrive.

The second person to arrive was surprisingly a media friend, Chen Rui from Bilibili, the head of this portal website that represents the new generation of young people.

His first words upon arriving here.

You must give me exclusive digital rights to your movie.

Li Yun then asked the young sect leader a question.

Aren't you afraid that the Beijing film circle won't sell you movies anymore?

Of course I'm scared.

But if I had to choose one, I'd choose you, my friend.

Thank you

As expected, Youku and Tudou didn't come. Giving up the Beijing entertainment circle for Li Yun? Only a fool would do that.

But clearly, Chen Rui is one of them.

In fact, his abilities and influence in the Beijing entertainment circle are much greater than imagined; to put it bluntly, he may be the embodiment of the domestic entertainment industry.

The reason for its existence.

Not many people are willing to risk serious consequences by actually provoking them, since everyone just wants to make a living.

Media personnel arrived one after another, along with Li Yun's actor friends, including Tony Leung Ka-fai, Liu Qianqian, and Gao Yuanyuan, as well as some actors who were already part of Li's circle.

They went in as well.

"I'm not late, am I?" Liu Qianqian smiled, and the pure trust in her face made him make the choice without thinking.

She always believed in the choice her heart had made, which was to trust Li Yun.

Besides Liu Qianqian, there's also Gao Yuanyuan.

"Of course not, there were definitely seats reserved for you." Li Yun smiled. He was confident in his friends' well-being regarding their arrival.

Besides that, Li Yun also saw some familiar faces, such as Simon Yam, Hu Qu, and some actors from the Shanghai and Beijing entertainment circles whom he had worked with before.

They were all young faces, these young faces, these vibrant faces.

This surprised Li Yun.

The Shanghai circle was a circle that Li Yunhao hadn't been in contact with for a long time. They didn't have much interaction, and in some ways, he was even at odds with the Shanghai circle more often.

But now, things have changed somewhat.

Their presence at "Dying to Survive" was, in effect, a departure from the old guard in the Beijing film circle, a departure that marked a significant rift between them and the established figures there.

"I never imagined that after we parted ways in the world of Immortal Sword, we would meet again in such a different way. You have already gone to a place I can no longer reach." Hu Qu said with some emotion as he looked at Li Yun.

Li Yun recognized the sound somewhat.

I haven't paid attention to Lao Hu all these years, but Lao Hu has been watching Li Yun's side and paying attention to Li Yun's growth all these years.

From being the leader of the Moon Worship Cult to winning the Golden Eagle and Magnolia Awards for Best Actor, he has also established his own position at the Hundred Flowers Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Although it's only a screenwriting award, he is the youngest recipient of both awards in history.

Excellent, inspiring a sense of longing.

This is Li Yun, this is Li Yun today, he is exceptionally outstanding.

"That old woman Tang Min, isn't she going to stop you?" Peng Yuyan, who had just arrived, teased.

He and Wang Chuanjun also came here. They met at the entrance and went in together, especially Wang Chuanjun.

He seemed to have rushed over as well.

"I'm not late, am I?"

"I thought you weren't coming."

"How could that be?" Wang Chuanjun rolled his eyes at Peng Yuyan. "I'm a very principled person. How could I possibly betray my country in the face of battle?"

indeed.

Wang Chuanjun also wavered; when he was in the bar, his hand holding the glass was trembling.

The Beijing elite circle—so many people dream of coming to the city.

For someone like Wang Chuanjun, who had no background, this was an immense act of divine grace. To be honest, he wavered, but then...

He still chose to come to "Dying to Survive" to witness everything.

Even if this is the final, last time it will burn.

But in the end.

It was a fire I started myself.

No matter how dazzling it is, I should see it with my own eyes.

Meanwhile, in the capital city.

"You don't seem surprised by this result; nobody wants to follow in your footsteps and lick the boots of the Beijing elite."

"Li Yun has a unique charm. Even if it's just to accompany him for one last time, he's willing to give up his own acting career."

Wang Jinghua looked at Tang Min with a helpless expression.

It can be said that the local cast of "Dying to Survive" is unbreakable. They basically searched for all of them, and even if it was just one last time, they wanted to put on a show.

Even if, after this incident, the giants of the Beijing entertainment circle were to ban them from performing for life, it wouldn't matter, it wouldn't bother them.

This made Wang Jinghua realize Li Yun's power.

It possesses a unique and captivating energy.

The allure that makes these young people willing to follow at any cost.

At this moment, she looked at Tang Min.

"But half of the people in the entertainment industry have basically followed us. Their rebellious stubbornness cannot change the general trend."

"Yes, young people are prone to impulsiveness and making decisions that contradict their rationality."

At this moment, the head of the Shanghai entertainment circle, the chairman of Tangren Media, smiled slightly.

Watch the decisions they make.

I feel like I've become younger.

Occasionally, I also take the time to think about it.

Not bad too.

Tang Min smiled.

"I'm off to see a movie too."

"Are we going the same way?" Wang Jinghua raised an eyebrow.

"On the same route, but not the same route."

At this point, Tang Min from the Shanghai circle chose to stand on Li Yun's side.
