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

Chapter 543, Inheritance, Progress

"So hope is about moving towards slim chances while giving up certainty. It's a luxury to expect you humans to always be rational."

At this moment, Li Yun...

I've arrived at the system's small room again.

Just like the choices you made.

They pursued something illusory and gave up the certainty of life.

"So this is the reason why human civilization has been able to continue, or rather, it is a symbol of our continuous progress."

"In the words of our ancestors..."

"Fortune favors the bold."

Li Yun at this moment.

When I opened my eyes again.

I found myself back in the familiar movie theater.

By the way, I'm watching the premiere of The Wandering Earth.

The perspective shifts as Liu Peiqiang martyrs.

After a brief period of silence, Li Yun felt as if she had died along with Liu Peiqiang.

Today is the day.

Li Yun discovered that he had become immune to the feeling of death.

This feeling probably comes from one's own initial death.

I traveled through time.

The death I felt.

That was my first experience of death.

I've actually developed some immunity to it by now.

The feeling of being on the verge of death.

I can't breathe, I can't feel any of this.

It's just too familiar.

Because that's exactly how I felt back then.

I used to be terrified of this feeling.

Okay, actually I'm not that carefree right now?

"The movie was really good! The finished product was even more dazzling than I imagined!"

At this moment, Liu Qianqian looked on with sparkling eyes.

His eyes were full of excitement.

This girl was even more excited and thrilled than Li Yun, the director.

Even if the results haven't actually been released yet.

I only saw the premiere once.

I haven't even seen the other two works yet, but I'm already convinced of their dazzling tone.

It is indeed dazzling.

Everyone present.

Anyone who has seen this movie.

Everyone was deeply moved by the power of this film.

Even Lü Haishi.

He was speechless for a long time.

That's amazing.

He hadn't expected that.

The plot of this film was so unexpected that it completely overturned his previous understanding of film works.

At first, he thought it was a Hollywood production.

But now it seems that this is a big mistake.

This work is vastly different from Hollywood productions. From the script structure to its origins, it has absolutely no Hollywood feel.

It was even an anti-Hollywood work.

A work that is anti-Hollywood at its core.

There are no so-called cowboy heroes with Western accents and people of color, and the world is not saved by one person alone.

Your protagonist is just a protagonist.

He is the protagonist of your story, but not the protagonist of the world.

This world, there are those who can save him, and those who want to save him.

It's definitely not just you alone.

This was a rant that Lü Haishi had been holding back for a long time, but was finally able to fully express at this moment.

Why is it always you Americans who save the world?

Why does everyone else seem to have something wrong with their brains?

Your IQ is half a level lower than mine.

The questions you can come up with, I simply can't.

Now someone finally told him and presented him with a real world.

A world where everyone is striving for tomorrow.

Everyone racked their brains to use their courage, wisdom, and sacrifice.

Oh shit

At this moment, Lü Haishi had a very strong feeling.

That's my heart pounding.

It was a strong feeling of my heart pounding.

The impulsiveness of adolescence returned to him.

This movie is just so incredible.

"This is Li Yun's talent. Now I truly understand the gap between my Great Wall and his."

At this moment, Zhang Mouzi looked at Li Yun not far away with a complicated expression.

"The Great Wall" and "The Wandering Earth" are comparable products.

They are all fantasy worlds built with special effects.

But the difference lies in this.

The difference between "The Wandering Earth" and "The Great Wall".

Let's approach this from the professional perspective of a director.

How should I describe it?

Ah, let's set aside all perspectives and try to feel this matter.

Correct.

The difference is even greater than that between humans and dogs.

The Wandering Earth.

The difference between it and the Great Wall is greater than the difference between a human and a dog.

That's the difference between masterpieces and works by mortals.

This gap in talent.

It's truly despair-inducing.

"It's been a long time since I've had a work that gets this old man's blood pumping."

At this moment, Zhang Mouzi spoke softly.

"admire."

This time, he was completely convinced.

Regardless of what the outcome will be in this match against Cameron.

But at least this king of Chinese cinema was once the king of Chinese cinema.

They were completely convinced.

at this time.

On the Hupu forum, public opinion was also in an uproar.

The vast majority of discussions revolve around "Avatar," including those by Wu Hai, the moderator of the entertainment section.

no way.

This film is simply too powerful; its visual impact makes it undoubtedly the number one special effects film of the year.

This is cutting-edge technology, a 5D experience that delivers a powerful and immersive experience.

"This year's box office champion is Avatar 1, and next year's box office champion will be Avatar 2. There is no doubt about that."

At this point, no one will question the film critic on the forum who was raving about Avatar.

It's really because...

There was absolutely no room for rebuttal.

There was no room for rebuttal.

Wu Hai couldn't refute this for a while, and even his girlfriend immediately became a die-hard Cameron supporter.

If Cameron is from the Shanghai circle.

He deserves to be ranked highly.

That's Cameron's charm.

Or perhaps it's the charm of his work.

Simple and direct emotional fluctuations.

It can be said that Cameron's approach is to emphasize simplicity. The plot is not difficult to understand or complicated, and there are no strange or ingenious ideas, but it can directly and bluntly move people's hearts.

Especially with the current superhuman special effects technology.

This work is perfect.

"A perfect work with 10 points for visuals, 8 points for plot, and 8 points for pacing."

At this time, Wu Hai also voiced his opinion on the forum.

Here is my review of this work, as a moderator of the entertainment section.

A masterpiece, something Cameron created here.

It is a perfect work.

A system that everyone can verify and recognize.

An undeniably perfect work.

So outstanding it's almost despair-inducing.

An absolute epic.

Some loyal Marvel fans are also saying how great the Battle of Ultron is, how it tells the story of the heroes.

It defined what a true superhero is.

Or rather, in today's film era, this term has always been defined by Marvel.

It has always been this way.

It's always been this way.

This is an advantage that Avatar doesn't have: all the popularity of the characters accumulated from the previous films is brought together in this one big movie.

The support they received should not be underestimated.

Their contribution to box office revenue is not to be underestimated; works with a strong fan base can sometimes be quite magical.

Marvel really did have events in China.

There are indeed quite a few people who participate in the rankings.

Both of them have their own unique skills and outstanding abilities, and they have their own supporters around the world.

This is the power of IP value.

Domestic directors are the ones who receive the least domestic discussion.

This surprised Wu Hai.

Yes, it was somewhat unexpected.

The fact that Li Yun could still generate discussion despite being overshadowed by these two directors demonstrates that his box office appeal has completely surpassed that of other domestic directors.

It surpasses all domestic directors.

This is no joke.

It can only be said that "The Three-Body Problem" and "Dying to Survive" have indeed garnered Li Yun considerable influence.

While not yet on par with Marvel and Cameron, he has surpassed 100% of domestic directors.

To achieve such success from a young seventh-generation director.

This is simply a miracle!

A miracle created by a domestic arts and culture circle

However, this miracle was undone in the face of absolute power.

It seems rather powerless.

at this time.

Although Wu Hai was afraid of spoilers, as a moderator, he should also clean up some posts.

Although the forum rules always stipulate "avoid spoilers," there are always people who take the risk—perhaps this is the trouble that comes with responsibility.

Ultimately, someone has to do this job—maintaining order in the community.

After looking at some posts related to "The Wandering Earth," Wu Hai realized that there were no people discussing the plot.

Their comments were mostly just a sentence or two—"Great! Excellent!"

Just like the navy?

If Li Yun is a member of the Shanghai circle, then the current forum discussions are probably all mocking the "navy".

Wu Hai also believed in Li Yun's reputation and abilities.

However, I also have some doubts.

Why don't they discuss the plot?

"That's strange. Why aren't they discussing the plot?"

At that moment, Wu Hai's girlfriend, who was thinking about how to support Avatar, naturally asked, "Do you watch Avatar and discuss the plot?"

This made Wu Hai suddenly realize the truth.

This is the first point in the discussion, and often people don't take the time to carefully analyze the nuances of it.

That was my first reaction.

Now, the first batch of people who watched "The Wandering Earth" on the forum had only one reaction: it was great.

At the same time, Hollywood

Cameron was sitting in his office, waiting for the opening week box office results.

At his level, looking at the opening day box office isn't particularly meaningful; the opening week box office is more interesting.

Cameron also prefers to listen to the audience's voice. He enjoys browsing Twitter because it's the closest place to hear the voices of the viewers.

Listen closely to the voices of frontline audiences

"It's almost all my voice; I can't hear any other sounds."

Cameron seemed to be 'complaining' as he looked at Twitter, which was almost entirely filled with posts about Avatar, with a few about Avengers mixed in. But judging from the sheer volume of posts, Avatar had an overwhelming advantage.

Even the Avengers were no match for him.

"Make America Great Again".

"A work full of the brilliance of human freedom, democracy, freedom, resistance to inequality, environmentalism, these elements are enough to make this a great work."

"There's nothing wrong with us Americans leading the indigenous people from barbarism to civilization and unity. This is the sacred duty of our beacon nation, the destiny of our humanity's beacon of civilization!"

"Mr. Cameron, you seem to be in a good mood."

"Seeing your work appreciated by others naturally makes you feel good."

The person who came to see Cameron at this moment was none other than his opponent this time, Russell Wilson.

Although they belong to different circles.

But at least they're all from the Hollywood circle.

"Coke or coffee?"

Do you have tea?

"Ceylon black tea?"

"Chinese tea," Russell Wilson said with a slight smile as he sat down, "I still think Chinese tea is more authentic."

"I don't have any Chinese tea here."

"That's a pity."

Although Cameron is the best in the world.

But simply in terms of star power,

Both of them belong to the same level, but in this level, Cameron is number one.

Speaking of which, Cameron also had a sense of admiration for this younger generation.

"I watched your movie, it was excellent."

"I've seen your work too, it's equally brilliant." At this moment, Russell Wilson said, "I never imagined that special effects technology has advanced to this level so rapidly."

"After all, times are changing. There is an old Chinese saying that goes, 'The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves forward.'"

"Shouldn't Mr. Cameron give the opportunity to us young people?" Russell Wilson joked from the side.

But Cameron knew it too.

"I, the rising tide of the Yangtze River, am going to overthrow the waves that came before me."

I am both a member of the younger generation and a member of the older generation.

Very arrogant.

But Cameron has the right to be so arrogant.

Because he is Cameron.

He is the best in the world.

He has the right to say that.

Looking at this arrogant senior.

Russell wanted to say that the box office results were still uncertain and the outcome was not yet clear.

Besides, we have an opponent.

Another opponent?

There are no rivals left.

Where is that Chinese person?

That big-budget film that was released in the same period as us.

That work called The Wandering Earth.

"You think the Chinese are our rivals?" Cameron joked at that moment, "Perhaps this work does hold a certain status in their language-speaking regions."

Just like Bollywood.

In India.

Perhaps some success has been achieved.

But from the perspective of global box office.

We are simply not strong enough to compete with them.

"Look at our community discussions, it's almost all about the two of us. The whole world is watching us now," Cameron said proudly.

"Mr. Cameron," Russell Wilson said casually, glancing at the community.

"Why don't you try switching the English-language community to a different language?"

"Um?"

Cameron frowned at this point.

But he still said what Russell Wilson said.

Switch to Japanese.
