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

Chapter 551, Your Farewell Ceremony

At this moment.

Li Yuncai learned about this.

Only then did I accept this.

Now he is the king of movies.

A movie king that even Cameron has already won.

During this period, there were awards such as the Golden Horse Awards, the Hong Kong Film Awards, and the Huabiao Awards.

Everyone with a name they could name sent an invitation to The Wandering Earth.

That is, nomination.

Although it's called a nomination.

But in reality, no one doubted that Li Yun would win Best Director and Best Film.

It's not that Li Yun needs these awards to prove his worth.

Rather, these awards require you to prove their value.

The title of King of Movies.

Can you refuse to give me an award?

Li Yun at this moment.

In a daze.

I saw myself beside me.

There was still one person standing there.

Li Yun stood there and walked over.

However, at this moment, this illusory personality can no longer cause any trouble.

He could only stand quietly to the side.

Watching all of this unfold.

He's still here.

However, this thing can no longer pose a threat to my life.

Compared to the state that used to disturb my mind.

The person before me is merely a remnant of the past.

A rootless duckweed.

As time goes by.

Rootless duckweed that will eventually disappear.

"You win."

It conquered 18 years of my life.

However, he was not dissatisfied.

Even when they finally mustered the courage to live for themselves and decided to live for themselves, they still failed.

They were utterly defeated.

It doesn't matter.

Anyway, he was going to be dead anyway.

Being able to witness Li Yun's brilliance even in death is not a regrettable thing.

"Actually, I think we look the same, have the same name, and many things are exactly the same. Maybe I really am just two sides of you? Maybe it's not time travel, maybe it's just that you awakened your memories of your past life, which is why you split into me."

"But none of that matters anymore."

At this moment, the illusory personality stood up.

"Enjoy the life that victory brings you."

"If there really is a next life, I still hope I can live for myself once."

In the days that followed, Li Yun pretended to "recover his health".

Although only Li Yun himself knew that he didn't need to recover his body at all.

My body is very strong.

However, in order not to cause excessive worry to his relatives and friends, Li Yun could only pretend to be recovering from a serious illness.

This is actually the most intuitive feeling Li Yun can get: the system is a magical thing, not a split personality.

Attribute points for Constitution, attribute points for Strength.

These things are definitely not false.

The next thing to do is simply to receive the award.

Awards from China's three major film festivals.

They were all waiting for Li Yun to visit them.

At this moment, Xie Qingya returned and spoke to Li Yun.

If you're really bored, you might as well go and attend the upcoming dinner party.

It was a dinner party between Cameron and Russell.

legend.

legend.

These two legendary directors and producers are unique figures in the industry.

The two legendary kings.

Right here in this authentic Sichuan restaurant, the three of them gathered together.

These three works were created within a month, and even a dog's brain was fried.

Now the three of them are sitting here together, looking at each other.

Both Cameron and Russell are idols or objects of aspiration for countless people in the Chinese entertainment industry.

But now...

These two people traveled a long way for a Chinese director.

The reversal of the Heavenly Gang is considered to be true.

"You're really dedicated. You were so exhausted from filming that you spent a month in the hospital. I'm not as hardworking as you," Cameron joked.

What Li Yun wanted to say was...

I'm not overworked because of filming.

It's not that they're exhausted from fighting against themselves.

"That's why they were able to beat us at such a young age," Russell said with a slight smile to Li Yun.

In fact, Russell Wilson and Cameron's attitude towards Li Yun.

This surprised Xie Qingya.

They had practically beaten each other senseless before.

The world's number one box office battle.

Even the state apparatuses of both sides got involved.

This is an ideological struggle, much like the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States, which was a space race and an arms race.

Now we live in a relatively peaceful era.

It's all about soft power now.

However, this is a brutal ideological struggle.

But it doesn't seem to have extended to these three people.

A calm and peaceful discussion.

"Do you think our dog brains will pop out?" Li Yun said jokingly to Xie Qingya.

"Russell Wilson was a businessman, Cameron was an artist, and they... well, that's it."

"Even though we've never met, you really know us?" Cameron laughed.

Russell said.

Actually, we've met once.

Perhaps this is the resonance among filmmakers.

Their original nationality was not American, so let alone any sense of identity, they can only be seen as succumbing to powerful hegemony.

Russell Wilson was a very simple person.

Hollywood Americans like the idea of ​​freedom and democracy, so they play the role of freedom and democracy. But when Americans stop liking it or go to extremes, they can change their ways.

Cameron, on the other hand, is a bit more straightforward.

He said that before "The Wandering Earth", his favorite work was "Waterworld".

A film whose commercial success is so great it's practically nonexistent.

But it's a film he really loves.

I love it very much.

"Having met this young man who defeated both of us, what are your thoughts, Mr. Cameron?"

At this moment, Cameron said.

"Can I get an autograph?"

For Cameron

There are two types of movies.

One is good-looking, and the other is not.

The Wandering Earth is really good.

This is an excellent work.

It can give you a shock that is both physical and spiritual.

This is a powerful and excellent work.

Even if the ideology of his work is very different from the ideology of his own work.

But art is art.

Russell Wilson was talking at length about his business plan, wanting to engage in some degree of business cooperation with Li Yun.

Because he discovered something very interesting.

If one IP were to be developed into a film, it would have even greater explosive potential than Marvel.

He had genuinely considered Li Yun's suggestion.

Why don't you think about it?

How about you film the Three-Body Problem for me?

He really considered it, and this is the result of his thinking after watching "The Wandering Earth" and savoring "The Three-Body Problem" three times.

And that's exactly why he came this time.

He wants to change jobs.

Or perhaps he wanted to find a new challenge.

The Three-Body Problem is such a good thing.

What Cameron gave was even simpler.

In addition to meeting Li Yun in person and having a chat about real art, they also gave Li Yun an invitation.

Oscar nomination.

Recommender.

Cameron.

"You deserve it."

Artists are such a stubborn group.

Despite repeated warnings, Cameron continued to do as he pleased.

Because Cameron considers himself an artist.

Since they are artists, it is only natural for them to want to get closer to excellent art when they encounter it.

What he considers art.

Tell more people.

This is an artist's instinct.

It's an instinct for someone working in the arts.

"An invitation to the Oscars!"

At this moment, Li Yun was looking at the thin piece of paper in his hand.

This is a place that so many people dream of.

A sacred place I never dared to dream of.

His name is Oscar.

International film festival awards.

This little golden statuette is something that every actor and director dreams of.

This is the highest honor.

It seems that no pure Chinese person has yet reached the level of the Oscars.

"Oscar Best"

At this moment, Xie Qingya looked at the Oscar invitation that Li Yun had received.

This is something that so many people dream of but can't have.

There has never been a single work.

A work by the Chinese people.

That's how we got to where we are today.

An Oscar nomination.

This is a sacred place that people all over the world yearn for.

A place that everyone in the entertainment industry around the world aspires to.

"What are you thinking about?"

At this moment, Xie Qingya was looking at Li Yun.

"Are you thinking about what to wear to the Oscars ceremony?"

His words inevitably carried a hint of teasing.

Li Yun then thought about what the Oscars meant to him.

This is an unattainable dream that every actor and every filmmaker has ever had.

I've had similar dreams myself.

When I dream of standing on the highest peak, or when I dream of winning an Oscar in front of the whole world.

That's what it means to truly live a glorious life.

How wonderful.

Just thinking about it is exhilarating.

And now, that opportunity is right in front of us.

Just a stone's throw away.

Within a small space.

It's just a matter of reaching out.

The achievements that can be made.

Dreams of the past will eventually come true.

Li Yun at this moment.

In that moment of confusion...

I saw myself.

But in the end.

Li Yun kept the Oscar invitation.

"I won't go, I'm busy that day."

"You didn't even check the date, and you already know you're busy that day."

Xie Qingya frowned, not expecting Li Yun to say such a thing.

I was too busy that day.

At this moment, Li Yun smiled, knowing that each day from now on would be very important to him.

Every day is a day to be cherished.

and so.

There's no need to waste time on things you don't need.

already.

They don't need an Oscar to prove themselves anymore.

Li Yun's days became very easy after that.

It's nothing more than going to receive an award, collect some money, and dealing with issues like box office revenue sharing and copyright management.

Because of The Wandering Earth, I have become one of the wealthiest people in all of China. My net worth has increased to what it is today because of a movie, which is an unprecedented legend.

And his net worth continues to rise.

The IP value of The Wandering Earth is immeasurable.

Follow up.

To paraphrase Russell Wilson.

Your Three-Body Empire will be even larger and more epic than the Marvel Empire in the future.

As long as you provide me with the rest of the script and continue it, allowing me to fully utilize its potential.

Li Yun expressed his relief.

The following plot will be released first in the form of a novel. When that happens, you will definitely be the first to develop the copyright. That's a promise, my friend.

Before that, let me, the patient, have my turn.

Let me rest for a while and stop what I'm doing.

In the days that followed, I spent my time going on dates with Liu Qianqian.

I participate in activities occasionally.

During that time, he also brought back some awards, such as the Huabiao Award. Li Yun placed those awards on his bedside table, and it seems that using these things as decorations is quite a good choice.

After that, it was Li Yun's turn to live a quiet life.

The illusory persona beside Li Yun became increasingly ethereal, dreamlike, and enigmatic.

However, he did not intend to disturb Li Yun, and quietly enjoyed his final moments.

Enjoying his body as it gradually becomes ethereal.

"Why aren't you on a date with your girlfriend today?" The illusory persona next to Li Yun asked.

"Envious and jealous? There's nothing to say to a virgin like you." Li Yun teased.

Indeed, this gentleman in front of me...

He was indeed a virgin until his death.

Of course, it was just a simple date between me and Liu Qianqian, nothing more.

"I'm already dead, and you're still attacking me personally. You're a complete lunatic." The other personality looked at Li Yun, speechless. Only a lunatic like you could do something like this.

Li Yun neither confirmed nor denied this.

You must be a psychopath to do something like that.

Okay, but I'm all better now.

You can no longer trouble my life.

"I like all my personalities. If they didn't always bother my life, I would find it quite enjoyable to have them around. You know, I used to feel sorry for them when they left, and I would even send them farewell drinks. Now that I think about it, it was all an act by you, you idiot. It turns out I was putting on this show for just one person."

At this moment, Li Yun smiled and said.

Every time I finish filming...

They would all do things to send them off.

Although we now know they were all played by different personalities...

At this moment, the person next to him spoke up.

"No, not really. I didn't have self-awareness back then. Those people... maybe they really were ghosts from another world appearing on me. Or maybe it was you and me simulating a scripted world where we lived a fake life. After all, I am a spiritual consciousness, so living a crazy world in your mind and experiencing a lifetime isn't that strange."

"Are you trying to comfort me by saying that all those farewells I did before were for nothing?"

"Perhaps," the increasingly ethereal personality beside him said, "but what you've done isn't really meaningful; it's just self-comfort."

"Heh, you're just being stubborn. Actually, you're also looking forward to the 'funeral' I'm giving you, aren't you?"

At this moment, Li Yun was looking at this personality.

I have also prepared a farewell ceremony for you.

Just like saying goodbye to other people.

A farewell ceremony just for you.
