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

Chapter 546, Preparing for the Second Half?

The movie "Titanic" is in film history.

His box office success is documented in textbooks at major film schools.

It has always been hailed as a legend, a miracle. It was from this time that Hollywood began to produce all kinds of commercial blockbusters, because they knew just how huge a sum of money an excellent film could generate.

Sometimes a large enterprise.

They're not worth that much money.

But as a work of art, it has generated this amount of money.

What a staggering number!

Therefore, the Titanic is a legend in the arts and culture world.

An immortal legend.

until today.

This legend, and the records it set, were broken by two works.

One is Avatar, created by James Cameron.

One is Marvel Studios, which tells the story of the heroes they created.

Just when it was thought that the myth of the Titanic was only broken by two films, a third film stepped in.

The Wandering Earth also announced this.

Titanic's global box office phenomenon.

It's been broken.

One, a young director from China.

"It actually broke!" Jomari exclaimed in surprise.

It really was shattered.

The Titanic's records were kept by this Chinese man.

break in.

It's not surprising that Marvel Studios broke the record, it's not surprising that Avatar broke the record, but only now has it been broken by a Chinese film, The Wandering Earth.

This was extremely unexpected.

"It seems this work truly deserves to stand shoulder to shoulder with us. The three of us together have shattered the era you created in the past."

Russell Wilson was enjoying Cameron's expression at that moment.

But Russell Wilson's hopes were dashed; he had expected him to at least be furious for a while.

After all, Cameron is arrogant and believes that only he is qualified to break the legends he created. He is the kind of person who is invincible.

However, Russell Wilson was wrong.

Cameron then burst into excited laughter.

"What a wonderful year! Two of my old works have broken my records! It's fantastic! It's amazing!"

all the time.

Cameron actually felt a bit lonely at the top.

Cameron felt that there were no heroes in the world when no one could break the records he had set over the years.

I never expected to make my comeback this year.

This unexpectedly aroused the covetousness of two heroes.

The Avengers.

The Wandering Earth.

Two works that can defeat your past self.

"Interesting, interesting"

"What day is it today? What a great era! I never thought our country would produce a film that could surpass Titanic's global box office."

Liu Shanhe was still in a daze at this moment, and then he calmed down.

But his calm expression did not mean he was not excited.

Global box office.

In other words, in this world, there are people of different languages, different circumstances, and different ethnicities.

Everyone is willing to contribute their hard-earned money to this work.

It's not just Chinese civilization.

Other civilizations resonated with this as well.

That feeling is something to be proud of.

Absolutely something to be proud of.

"I told you, don't underestimate others. Put away your arrogance. The people of the world aren't that ignorant. How could they not recognize good things?"

"Besides, with the groundwork laid by the Three-Body Problem outside, achieving this result is to be expected."

At this moment, Lu Zhengguang smiled slightly.

It surpassed the Titanic in one fell swoop.

Former global legend.

For a Chinese person.

This should be worth broadcasting on CCTV.

of course.

As Lu Zhengguang had expected, CCTV did indeed start broadcasting the news on a loop.

title.

Great unity among the people of the world.

Hollywood productions are not without similar slogans.

We are united.

We fought bravely.

But both of these are conditional on the fact that you both have to speak English to me and you both have to be my American citizens.

This is the major premise.

Don't talk to me about unity again.

If you don't speak English, don't join my nationality, or my organization, that's disunity.

Are Hollywood movies good?

It looks good, of course it looks good.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have become a benchmark for evaluating the film industry.

A mecca for filmmakers worldwide.

However, a monopoly means that these companies can unscrupulously express their ideas in their works, and the influence of these ideas on people is subtle and gradual.

It can make people lack cognition and judgment.

They believe in this system and yearn for and long for that day.

Now, a new work has emerged out of nowhere: The Wandering Earth, a Chinese-made film.

Using a completely anti-Hollywood model.

It burst.

The box office also exploded.

After a month, the total box office revenue has settled.

Avatar, $31 billion.

Avengers: Age of Ultron, $25 billion.

The Wandering Earth, 20 billion.

All units are in US dollars.

The amount of US dollars that have been plundered globally.

At this moment.

Jiang Cheng just emerged from a dreamlike state.

"You've achieved your goal! Surpass Cameron!"

If we consider the first week's box office as a prediction...

So the current box office figures are the actual results of one month.

Results for one period of time.

At this time, they directly secured Cameron.

No one in China has ever received this honor before.

Li Yun was the first.

He is the first person in history to achieve this.

"You seem very calm?"

"So what do you think I should do? Be ecstatic? Jump up with joy? Or be overjoyed? Whatever kind of expression you need, I can perform it for you," Li Yun teased.

No, that's a bit too calm.

joy.

Li Yun could still sense something, though not much, but he could still feel it.

But that's all there is to it.

Li Yun was very clear-headed.

it's not finished yet.

"Who said I'm going to defeat the Cameron of the past? The Cameron of the past has already been defeated by the Cameron of the present. Defeating a past Cameron is meaningless, do you think?"

Li Yun rolled her eyes at Jiang Chenggang.

Cameron now.

That's the person I'm going to take down.

"I really hope the day after tomorrow comes soon."

At this point, Jiang Chenggang was also eager to try.

What day is the day after tomorrow?

January.

new Year.

New release date.

That is, the date when "The Wandering Earth 2" will be released.

It's also Avatar 2.

Captain America 3.

The date of its release.

The battle is not over yet. For Li Yun, the greatest significance of the first part of The Wandering Earth is probably to raise his global fame to the same level as Marvel and Cameron.

The second part is where the real battle begins.

That's whether I can surpass Cameron.

The final battle.

It also represents the culmination of all my hard work.

The actors, directors, screenwriters, special effects team, and everyone involved pushed the boundaries of what was possible in this production.

Russell Wilson thought so too.

So they brought Captain America: Civil War to this point.

Although it's called Captain America 3, it's actually Avengers 3, and the theme isn't fighting against external enemies, but rather internal strife and civil war.

The clash between ideas is the most fascinating.

Heroes are also individuals, and they have their own will.

There will also be conflicts.

The Way of Water in Avatar is a sequel to the first film.

Li Yun didn't think that pouring his heart and soul into something was something worth mentioning. He had poured his heart and soul into it, but hadn't they?

They share the same reasoning.

Works created with the same intention.

A version of oneself that wants to transcend the past and the future.

One who wants to stand at the top.

Li Yun took another look at himself.

"A vibrant life once existed; that is the greatest significance of art for me and for creators."

Li Yun at this moment.

We'll just wait quietly for January to arrive.

The audience's enthusiasm has not yet subsided.

Their emotions were still at their peak.

Everyone is looking forward to January. The past year has been too long and suppressed, and even three epic masterpieces cannot fill the void left by audiences around the world.

They need more.

And January of the new year.

And then more things came along.

Avatar 2 and Captain America 3 were released without a break in theaters.

There's also The Wandering Earth 2.

The battle between the three legendary figures at the pinnacle is far from over.

It is also a global audience holding money, voting with cash to determine who is the new number one in the world.

At this time, Li Yun was sitting quietly at home, deep in thought.

Outside, the city was engulfed in turmoil.

The industry is in an uproar.

Li Yun maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

At the same time, Lu Zhengguang also arrived and brought Li Yun a medal.

"It's issued by the government, so just take it."

Li Yun looked at the medal.

Role models of our time.

Li Modu was something he had spent his entire life trying to achieve.

He wanted to use it to break free from the control of the Beijing elite circle, and now, this thing has appeared in his hands.

"The workmanship is quite exquisite."

"That's all the evaluation you've got?"

"Otherwise what?"

"All right.."

Lu Zhengguang looked at the completely calm Li Yun.

It seems like nothing unexpected happened.

Because Li Yun no longer needs a medal as a role model of the times to prove himself.

When his work surpassed the Titanic in value with real money, it became an immortal legend.

The medals were important to him.

It is indeed just a rather exquisite work of art.

"This is what my father pursued his entire life."

"And he hasn't even succeeded yet," Li Yun joked about his own personality from the side.

The illusory personality remained silent.

Extend your own hand, which has no physical form.

I want to touch this medal.

But you can't touch it.

There's no way to truly feel the weight of this medal.

"Is he heavy?"

"Very light."

"All right."

It is indeed very light.

It's obvious.

"When I entered the entertainment industry, I had only one purpose: to find my father and tell him that I could become strong and powerful without him. I really wanted to prove myself to him."

This illusory personality then raised its head.

The hatred I felt at the time drove me to improve.

He vowed to prove himself to him.

And what about now?

Let alone proving yourself.

He was already a defeated opponent of "Li Yun".

A defeated opponent who failed in both his work and his glory.

The fruits of victory and the thrill of victory.

It seems that this should have happened at this time.

But now, this illusory personality feels so empty.

The very driving force that honed my acting skills to this point has left me feeling so empty and numb.

But why?

After numbness.

There was another feeling.

"How are you? Brother, do you feel numb or empty for a moment?" Li Yun patted him on the shoulder at this moment.

The fictional personality neither confirms nor denies this.

Because that feeling is very obvious.

"Of course, you'll only end up with emptiness by doing this, because you'll always be living under the gaze and definition of others. The meaning of your life will be determined by someone else, so what's the point of your life?"

At this moment, Li Yun mocked.

We don't live for any one person.

Li Yun clearly understood his ultimate desire.

At that moment, the eyes of the illusory person next to him suddenly became bright.

Yes.

Why should I get hung up on a stranger?

When he abandoned me.

To me, how are they any different from strangers?

"By trying to cheer me up like this, you're only doing yourself endless harm. You'll regret it."

At this moment, the illusory personality was watching Li Yun from the side.

It was as if they wanted to see right through Li Yun's thoughts.

What exactly is Li Yun after?

at this time.

Giving Li Yun the reason and confidence to live would only do him harm.

"Don't be naive. I'm not trying to pity or take pity on you. I just want someone who has witnessed my growth to this point to stay clear-headed when I reach my peak."

Li Yun squatted down and grinned.

You are my witness.

That's how things have come to this.

You cannot allow yourself to get lost.

confused.

"Fine, let's see how far you can go, you madman. In any case, don't blame me for being ruthless in the end and taking everything away from you so I can live again."

"You try it. I've won every step of the way. Victory is my motto. I can beat Zhang Mouzi, I can beat Cameron, and you can too. I can beat living people, let alone you, who are just a dead man, a lingering thought, an obsession within me."

At this moment, Li Yun was looking at the illusory personality beside him.

grin.

The illusory persona beside Li Yun looked at him.

I couldn't see any fear in the other person's eyes.

Even when facing the personality of one's own original body.

He's crazy.

However, he was a particularly madman.

A madman who can beat Cameron.

A powerful, and insane guy.

At this moment, Li Yun was extremely confident.

Whether it's Cameron or not.

Or perhaps it's one's own body.

Victory is the only thing I need to do.

"We will win"

At this moment, Li Yun put on a piece of clothing.

A bright red sweater that looks rather ugly.

"You're wearing this to the premiere?"

"Is that not allowed?"

"I just think it's quite artistic." Jiang Wen said with some appreciation, looking at Li Yun's clothes. "You've started appreciating art now. Which New York fashion icon designed this?"

Which big family in New York?

No, she comes from my family, Li Yun's family.

A sweater knitted by Liu Qianqian herself.

It's a bit ugly.

But it's really good at keeping warm.

It is a warmth that can keep some of the cold out of the body.

At this moment, Li Yun smiled.

"The best artist in my mind, but I spent a lot of money to get him."

"Let's go, let's get ready for the second half."
