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

Chapter 538, Gods Fight

The Wandering Earth has finished its final filming.

Editing, music, special effects.

For Li Yun...

The movie isn't over yet, but for the other actors, today is the day for the wrap party.

The wrap party was mutton hot pot.

Only the crew of The Wandering Earth would be so eccentric as to eat mutton hotpot in this sweltering weather.

"Although it's spring now, the feeling of that cold, apocalyptic world still feels like it happened just yesterday." Li Bingbing joked, "This is my first time filming a movie like this, and it feels magical."

"This is also the first time I've had lamb hot pot in this season."

Wang Chuanjun was enjoying his meal nearby.

Eddie Peng is the same.

These actors, who had been away from filming the first movie for some time, had largely detached themselves from their roles.

What surprised them was...

Even the lead actors in the second film were quick to break out of character.

That's amazing.

Eddie Peng asked curiously how they did it.

At this moment, Andy Lau and Tony Leung Ka-fai are eating hotpot and chatting with their heads down.

Li Xuejian and Zhang Yu.

There's also Stephen Chow sitting alone.

They also seemed unable to answer the question.

Or perhaps, you already have an answer in your heart.

"Passing on tradition, in the narrow sense of immortality, is very difficult to achieve, but in the broader sense of the continuation of life, it is possible."

"Or rather, our civilization has been passed down in this way."

At this moment, Lu Zhengguang spoke softly.

He sighed.

This work.

That's what gives him that civilized feeling.

I can only marvel once again at Li Yun's talent; how did he manage to make such a film?

Such incredible talent!

That makes one feel incredibly admirable.

"I just regret that I can't be in two places at once. Otherwise, I would definitely watch all three storylines."

At this moment, Liu Shanhe spoke his true feelings.

I just regret that I can't be in two places at once.

Otherwise, you'd have to appreciate all three lines, high and low, from all angles.

But ultimately, I'm not an actor myself, so I can't truly understand the powerful sense of immersion they have in the role. In Liu Shanhe's eyes, a green screen is just a green screen, and he is nothing else.

But this doesn't stop Liu Shanhe from appreciating the unique charm of this work and feeling its unwavering power.

There's also what director Li Yun wanted to express.

I have truly and thoroughly understood and experienced everything.

This deep-seated power is so captivating.

If Liu Shanhe had at least a little bit of respect for Li Mo before, now he truly understands that Li Yun is a powerful figure of his generation, a chosen one of heaven.

Director Li is capable of writing incredibly powerful scripts.

A completely anti-Hollywood film.

Liu Shanhe could see that.

Any film in the world can be modeled after Hollywood, and people have always been fascinated by Hollywood's narrative structure.

They were pioneers.

Hollywood defines everything: how to shoot a particular scene, what to do and how to say it, how to write the protagonist's actions.

"Perhaps it is precisely because we always stand on their shoulders and only see them that we always miss the point and find it difficult to surpass them."

At this moment, Li Mo slowly spoke.

In fact, he had already thought about this.

He just couldn't make Hollywood-style productions.

Or perhaps they lack the talent and can only expand upon the main theme with some filming techniques.

It wasn't entirely a critical and commercial success.

At this point, Li Yun proposed another solution.

Something no one could have imagined.

Or rather, there's no solution that we dare not attempt.

That means not using Hollywood's definition.

I have created a new system and a new path.

Thinking about it this way, everything became clear; this was exactly what Li Yun wanted to achieve.

There's no need to be bound by Hollywood's definition.

Define everything with your own power.

It's not that our predecessors couldn't think of it, but that they couldn't do it. Now, Li Yun is trying to do all of this, but whether he can succeed in the end is still unknown.

But at least for the four people watching the movie in person.

Li Yun did indeed accomplish one thing.

That's what makes them want to linger and never look away.

As the first batch of viewers, they could definitely see how amazing "The Wandering Earth" was.

Now, let's see what kind of results the special effects will produce.

They approve of the kernel.

It remains to be seen whether this outer packaging can achieve a balance between internal and external excellence.

Li Yun's busy schedule has only just begun; he also needs to oversee the production and editing of special effects.

Very busy

At this moment, the illusory persona next to Li Yun spoke.

"Your talent is undeniably impressive. I never imagined you had so many scripts in your head."

Because I come from a parallel world, I naturally have many scenarios in my head.

Although some parts were adapted and interpreted by myself.

To pour out one's own "reasoning".

Every director and screenwriter has their own script and understanding, which is why they have their scripts. But everyone's "reason" is different. Li Yun poured his own understanding and his own reason into the core of the script.

Perhaps not everyone can agree with or understand my reasoning, but it is still my own.

"Are you thinking that everything I have will be for your benefit?" At this moment, Li Yun smiled slightly as he looked at his illusory personality.

He could not deny the existence of "Li Yun".

"I've possessed this body for 18 years, how many years have you had it?"

Only then will I truly understand my own body, because it is mine.

At this moment, Li Yun joked.

"Okay, so stop talking nonsense and let's get started editing together."

His relationship with Liu Qianqian was far more than just a casual fling.

The two have already established a relationship.

One will have the courage to love, and the other will have the courage to be loved.

"husband?"

"What's wrong, my dear wife?"

This is the nickname Han Duoduo and Liu Peiqiang use for each other.

Li Yun felt that Liu Qianqian was the only woman he would ever marry; it was a lifelong commitment.

If I had a lifetime.

At this moment, Liu Qianqian seemed to have mustered up her courage and hugged Li Yun, who was editing the video.

"Generally speaking, we still have things left to finish."

Yes, these are things that couples need to do.

then.

Li Yun refused.

Sorry, my period started.

"I hate you so much!!" Liu Qianqian blushed, crawled into the quilt behind the bed, and then ignored Li Yun.

He clearly mustered up his courage.

Li Yun simply smiled gently.

"There's no rush for this kind of thing."

"Besides, my uncle really hasn't left yet. There's no rush after he leaves."

This year has been very quiet for the entertainment industry, both in television and film.

Whether in China or abroad.

At the beginning of this year, "The Three-Body Problem" not only defeated "Westworld" but also decimated "Wesley".

Even this year, perhaps no one dares to challenge the king of dramas.

Galaxy Award for Best Drama

The reason why the overseas film and television industry is quiet is because Cameron's "Avatar" and Marvel's "War of Ultron" are about to be released.

"When gods fight, little devils suffer. So let's all hide and wait until the gods have finished their battle before making any plans."

At this moment, Jiang Wen clicked his tongue as he looked at the 'desolate' entertainment industry.

It's quite ironic that the entertainment industry would fall into a "recession" because of something like this.

"So, the audience is really hungry right now," Jiang Chenggang murmured as he looked at the online comments.

Now, there is a kind of "power" brewing in the voices and opinions of the "audience" on the Internet.

Thirst.

Good heavens, entertainment industry, hurry up and take away my ticket money! The problem is, none of you are coming to take my cash, so I have nowhere to spend it.

Public opinion both in China and abroad has been drawn into this matter.

China has Li Yun's long-awaited "The Wandering Earth".

Hollywood has Avatar and The Avengers.

Everyone is waiting.

Waiting for their films to be released.

Indeed, the wait was agonizing for the audience.

This level.

Peak Battle

"Going against Cameron and Marvel, I never thought I'd have a day like this."

At this moment, Jiang Chenggang sighed.

I never imagined I'd one day be going up against Cameron and Marvel.

Even if we fail.

It is also a kind of "honor".

It truly deserves the description of "a glorious defeat".

"It's not necessarily a complete defeat." At this moment, Jiang Wen pondered and said, "Currently, there is actually some attention on 'The Wandering Earth' in overseas public opinion."

If Li Yun's initial disadvantage was due to the lack of overseas box office success and brand recognition...

Now, that disadvantage has completely disappeared.

Because Li Yun does indeed have international recognition now.

Because of the existence of "The Three-Body Problem"

The TV series "The Three-Body Problem" has achieved tremendous popularity.

It almost directly penetrated the core movie-watching audience overseas—which certainly illustrates one point.

Science fiction can indeed transcend national and cultural barriers.

A work that allows for complete comprehension.

The Three-Body Problem brought Li Yun international recognition.

However, this only shows that Li Yun's early fame overseas was not too much of a disadvantage compared to Marvel and Cameron.

There's still no way to compare.

It remains in a naturally disadvantaged position.

Meanwhile, in New York, America.

"If this were a Marvel IP, or even a Hollywood production, it would definitely achieve something unimaginable to ordinary people, you know? I've read 'The Three-Body Problem' three times. Even though I don't understand the language, I can still appreciate its principles and charm."

At that moment, Russell Wilson was in his room, staring intently at his computer.

I read the book called "The Three-Body Problem" over and over again.

At first, he read the original Chinese version, but he couldn't understand a lot of it; raw, unsubtitled text is quite difficult to digest.

Now, there is an English version.

I've grasped about 80% of the essence of this work.

But even 80% of the essence fascinated him, from the flying billiard balls to human-computer interaction, and even the words humans said when facing locusts—"Insects have never been eradicated."

It gave him the idea that he wanted to learn Chinese, that he wanted to learn the language of the Chinese nation.

Learn the language of Chinese to appreciate this masterpiece.

"It's a pity he didn't come from Hollywood, he didn't come from Marvel," Wilson's assistant sighed.

"You're right, it's not just that he's not from our family, but that he's now my rival," Russell Wilson said slowly. "He'll be my and Cameron's rivals in the upcoming release window."

Hollywood may seem like an 'inclusive and open' place.

But actually, they are also very arrogant.

They look down on the film and television industries of other countries.

The same applies to the Chinese film and television industry.

While reading "The Three-Body Problem," Russell Wilson knew that this Chinese man was superior to 99% of Hollywood directors and screenwriters.

"Even the company's shareholders didn't think his new work, his new movie, could cause any trouble during my and Cameron's schedules," Russell Wilson said. "But I knew he was a tough nut to crack."

"So, is there anything we should do?"

"We don't need to do anything special. We are artists; all we need to do is create excellent films so that audiences will open their wallets and buy movie tickets."

At this point, Russell Wilson said.

"No matter who the opponent is, we just need to do this."

Russell Wilson, even knowing that he was going to challenge Cameron this time.

The tasks to be done haven't changed much.

As always, I will present and photograph my work in the best possible way.

is enough.

Nothing more

This is the sacred duty of us artists.

He also praised "The Three-Body Problem" in the same way.

However, Li Yun is still inexperienced and too young. The highest praise he can give is probably that after defeating Cameron this time, he will become the "number one in the world".

As you grow older and gradually accumulate experience...

And then there's how I am now, heading towards my first challenge—

And that time...

He wouldn't be cut down like Cameron.

As for himself, he would make Li Yun truly convinced of his talent.

Russell Wilson said calmly.

"Then, I'll add you to Marvel."

Now, it's the calm before the storm. The audience is in high spirits, excitedly shouting who can now take their movie tickets.

Meanwhile, the entertainment companies all played dead. Every industry chose to remain on the sidelines, waiting to see what Li Yun would do with this strange schedule.

His movies.

What will happen?

At this moment, Liu Qianqian returned home and saw her mother cooking. She did not hesitate.

"mom."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"I've secretly pledged my life to Brother Li."

Liu Lili stopped chopping vegetables.
