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

Chapter 540, The Mental World Exclusively Enjoyed by the Madman

Li Yuxuan and his wife.

Ji Tielan.

And Li Modu.

My feelings for the Li family.

Li Yun could see it clearly.

The Empress Dowager, Uncle, and...

"Mr. Li."

Li Yun called Li Modu that.

Our bodies and hair are gifts from our parents; this is unavoidable.

But Li Mo was targeting him back then, and he still remembered it. So, he didn't cause him any trouble, which meant they were even.

For Li Yun.

This is a stranger whose name I know. He comes to see my work, and I welcome him anytime, but that's all. The damage that has been done is irreparable.

Li Yun understood all of this very well.

Li Mo simply sighed softly.

They didn't say anything.

After all, this is something he brought upon himself.

I wouldn't say I regret it.

Because that's the choice that one's own personality would lead to.

Adults are responsible for the choices they make.

Even this responsibility.

This price

"come on."

"I've been looking forward to your work for so long. The world's most advanced special effects, plus the support from various works in the industry, wow, I'm really curious to see what kind of work I'll be able to see."

Li Yuxuan was watching right next to Li Yun at that moment.

He sat down casually.

"Then you'll have to wait and see."

Li Yun smiled.

After settling the Li family in.

Finally, there's the cast and crew. This group of actors and crew members is incredibly diverse, basically a hodgepodge of people from various circles.

Even the most knowledgeable people present were amazed.

Actors from so many different circles are brought together.

Many things that might never have crossed paths before, but now...

They gathered together in this place.

Because of Li Yun, they were brought together to embark on the journey to the Wandering Earth.

Li Circle, Beijing Circle, CCTV, Hong Kong Circle.

All of these elements combined create the final work.

Andy Lau, Tony Leung Ka-fai, and Li Xuejian.

With heavyweights like Stephen Chow and Jackie Chan, this group of moviegoers boasts a truly diverse and impressive cast.

There were also some foreign faces, but none of them were familiar faces or Hollywood celebrities. Interestingly, most of them were Slavs.

Slavs and Asians seem to be treated quite similarly in Hollywood; neither is a race that can land important roles.

At this moment, Li Yuxuan couldn't help but sigh.

"I wonder what kind of sparks they'll create."

Looking at the cast...

It would be a shame not to watch this movie.

The movie-watching group is mostly present.

Li Yun also looked at these people.

Still need to go.

you.

At this moment, Li Yun looked at his own personality next to him, who was also sitting next to him as an audience member. This was a seat that Li Yun had specially reserved for him—although no one understood Li Yun's behavior and regarded it as an artist's quirk.

Only Li Yun is real; a spot was specifically reserved for "him".

"I can't wait to see what kind of final product this 'Taking Earth on a Wandering Earth' movie will be like."

"Didn't you go to that world before? As Liu Peiqiang?"

"How can a special effects movie be considered a finished film without special effects?"

At this moment, the illusory personality looked at Li Yun with a strange expression.

"I'm not as crazy as you."

"Hahaha, good, good, good, only I, this madman, have truly been to this world, and I alone will enjoy all the reality here."

Li Yun suddenly burst into laughter.

I laughed so hard I almost cried.

This is a truly hellish joke.

He was told by a fictional personality that he wasn't that crazy.

It's like being told you're sick because you have a disease.

"What's so funny?" Liu Qianqian asked, puzzled.

"Nothing much, just some interesting things came to mind."

At this moment.

Li Yun was overjoyed.

I'm probably the only one in the world who has had this experience.

So what?

If you're sick, then you're sick.

At least when you are fully immersed in this world.

That kind of joy is indescribable.

let's start.

Planetary engine.

The sounds of people gradually subsided, and the whispers of the audience began to fade.

What followed was a deafening roar—it was an enormous engine.

It roars and emits its own thunderous sound.

nobody else.

A spiritual world that only one can enjoy alone.

"I feel like the forum needs to implement traffic control, otherwise the servers are going to explode."

Wu Hai from Hupu Forum at this time.

Even before its premiere, the viewership in the film and television section is already getting out of control.

That's absolutely amazing.

We are so thirsty.

This is a feast for the senses.

For moviegoers.

I've been holding back for so long. There haven't been any major works all year, only some short pieces like Charlotte's Troubles to satisfy my cravings.

But that's just a way to satisfy a craving.

There was no way to fill their hunger.

I am extremely hungry and thirsty.

Therefore, this year's December movie season can be described as the most explosive movie season ever.

The most explosive ever.

Cameron, Russell Wilson, Li Yun.

These individuals have an explosive reputation in various circles.

legend.

Although Li Yun is still young, he has become a legend in China with his two works, The Three-Body Problem and Dying to Survive, a legend who has replaced Zhang Yimou and stood at the pinnacle.

Russell Wilson, the pioneer of the superhero era, defined the cinematic universe and superheroes, the greatest comic book adaptation producer and director in history, and a legendary figure at the pinnacle of commercial cinema.

Then there's Cameron.

The record for the highest-grossing film worldwide remains unbroken.

No, someone might be able to break it this year.

That is his own "Avatar".

Only Cameron could defeat himself; such is the nature of a legend, it goes without saying.

When the three of them collided.

At least for Wu Hai.

All three movie tickets require a contribution.

After holding back all year, I finally have a chance to let loose.

The order in which I watched the movies was roughly Avatar, The Wandering Earth, and then Marvel's Battle of Ultron.

"There's no need to discuss box office anymore. It's meaningless to talk about the domestic box office of these three movies. Let's talk about the global box office. I guess the order is Avatar, War of Ultron, and The Wandering Earth."

"Actually, my guess is pretty much the same as the person upstairs; Cameron truly deserves the title."

"I think Li Yun is still lacking. He should keep a low profile, improve himself, and finish filming The Three-Body Problem first, instead of rushing to create a new IP, especially an original one, and gathering resources from most of the entertainment industry to make a big splash."

"No way, no way, you guys don't really think he can compete with those two big directors, do you? Although Li Yun is quite high compared to the average Hollywood director, do you even look at who his current rivals are? They're the King of Movies. Anyone who's seen Titanic knows the gap between him and current directors. And who is Russell Wilson? The creator of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Do you really think you can come up with anything from this pointless discussion?"

The speaker is a Hupu user named "The Cat Who Loves Wontons," who is a well-known movie enthusiast in the film and television section. During the time when The Three-Body Problem was popular, he was among the top fans of the series.

But now, his stance has changed immediately.

Cameron is number one, and he deserves it.

It won't even evoke any unexpected emotions in you.

Because he is undeniably the best in the world.

Titanic, which made Leonardo DiCaprio a star, remains a work that has never surpassed the emotional impact of his performance.

Those gentlemen sacrificed themselves for the sake of women and children.

Regardless of who they were before, their selfless sacrifice in the face of life and death is so moving.

That brilliance before the disaster.

Undeniable.

A profound display of human brilliance.

It doesn't lack commercial appeal either; that's Cameron, the most powerful director in the world, bar none.

The first place has now been determined.

It all comes down to the second and third place.

"I would give The Wandering Earth a higher score, for no other reason than that it is a work from China."

Wu Hai then stated his position.

Yes, and there is only one.

Support domestic products.

Below Cameron is Li Yun.

Don't talk to me about Marvel, talk to me about how amazing the Russo brothers are.

To say so much fancy stuff.

I just think Li Yun is better than Marvel.

There's no other reason than that Li Yun is Chinese, and it's for this reason that I show my favoritism.

No way, no way, no way.

Surely no one is without a stance.

Wu Hai felt that he was a "college student who came from the village".

We should give them the greatest possible support and tolerance.

"Moderator, when we discuss works of art, if we set aside the art itself and start from a standpoint, it means that you yourself are not that confident."

This sentence left Wu Hai speechless.

They were even a little frustrated.

What the hell.

That's unbeatable!

But it seems there's some truth to that statement.

But after all, a person has to have a stance.

As human beings, we cannot be without principles.

This seems to be a very simple principle.

"No matter what you say, I still have to support The Wandering Earth. There's no point in saying more; quality will tell the whole story, and the people's eyes are discerning."

At least within the Hupu forum.

He is a film critic.

Their eyes are sharp.

It must also be crystal clear.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing. Who argues like this over second place? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were fighting for first place."

There's no suspense about who comes in first.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that, at least during this period, Li Yun faces something truly hopeless.

The world's best director and the highest budget.

When these two elements are combined, the result is something that most people cannot even imagine.

The Avengers also have a solid fan base, are a global IP, and possess explosive power.

Li Yun can be said to be besieged on all sides.

No wonder.

I have to take a stance before I can support Li Yun.

Because without taking a stand, it's very difficult to make a decision on this matter.

Perhaps it's something you genuinely believe deep down.

There must be differences between them.

at this time.

Far away in Hollywood.

A white man in a suit was chatting and laughing in Cameron's office.

"Thank you so much for your support, which has helped my film career."

Cameron at this moment.

He had a very pleasant conversation with the general from the Pentagon in front of him.

That's right, this time Avatar was actually filmed with the help of the US military, just like a real army.

The last time someone had the power to mobilize the national army to contribute to their artwork was when they had such influence.

Michael Jackson, California.

A legend.

And Cameron is too.

A living legend.

"We really love your movies. From your work, I see the American Dream, freedom, democracy, and equality."

"General Huckman said."

"This is the responsibility that art should have."

The male protagonist, in pursuit of freedom, equality, and harmony with nature, dares to lead the underprivileged against an advanced army.

Fight for freedom and to be free from enslavement.

free.

free.

free.

The Stars and Stripes are pointing.

That is where freedom lies.

That's what movies are all about.

It carries values; it comes from the author, the director, the producer, and the script.

"I can't wait to see how our work, which represents freedom, resistance, and democracy, will become the world's top-grossing film."

"Becoming a champion? It's a bit difficult, but I'm still trying my best," Cameron said modestly.

In reality, he's not humble at all.

Because he himself is the world's highest-grossing actor.

The legendary Cameron.

Challenging yourself is not an easy thing.

Of course, only I can challenge myself and the Titanic, the work that carries all my past glory.

Therefore, Cameron wants to overturn his past self once again.

Overturn the past, reach your peak.

"Go for it! I believe you can succeed in challenging yourself this time and break the record that no one has been able to break in the past 25 years."

General Huckman joked.

I also felt a bit emotional.

Only his present self can defeat his past self; in Hollywood, he is a legend among legends.

The only one who can defeat him is probably himself.

Of course, there were challengers this time as well.

The Avengers.

The final battle of the second stage.

Marvel's popularity has reached an extremely terrifying level, especially Iron Man, for which Robert Downey Jr. became the highest-paid actor in Hollywood.

none of them.

In the realm of business operations, Marvel has reached its absolute limit.

If anyone can challenge him.

The Russell brothers were one of them.

Even Nolan couldn't do it.

In terms of box office, only the Russo brothers can challenge themselves.

Of course, it was just a challenge, and in the end it was nothing more than an ant trying to shake a tree, because Avatar had achieved the best in terms of actors, budget, special effects, and even off-site assistance.

More perfect than anyone else.

However, he only has one major work in the release schedule this year, so he dares to come out and challenge himself.

"However, if we must talk about a major work, it seems there is someone from the Eastern countries who has also raised a challenge against you."

"A work called The Wandering Earth."

"Just like you, it will be released simultaneously worldwide."
