I'm a movie star on earth

Chapter 322 Cooperation with Ying Bao

October this year can be regarded as Li Hyuk's harvest month, because the explosion of the two films has also consolidated his status as a first-line superstar.Lee Hyuk, who finished the promotion in North America, also followed the crew to France, where he met director Christopher Nolan who was filming "Dunkirk".

"Congratulations, Li, "La La Land" is a box office hit." Nolan congratulated.

"Thank you..." Li He looked at the beach in the distance, pointed to the beachhead that had already been built and asked, "Are these all built for real?"

"Of course, in order to restore the realism of the war to the greatest extent, I used real ships and aircraft at that time, and consulted historical expert Dan Fredkin on the different characteristics and flying essentials of various aircraft." Nolan said .

As expected of a madman in real filming, Li He gave a thumbs up and praised, Nolan went on to say: "I found that the British soldiers waiting to retreat in Dunkirk were very young and inexperienced. In order to truly restore the history, the crew finally The decision was made to cast young actors as soldiers."

"That's why you invited thousands of extra performers, it's really a big deal." Li He admired.

In fact, the evaluation of Dunkirk in the East and the West is somewhat different. In the eyes of the East, hundreds of thousands of troops running without resistance are not a victory retreat at all.

But in Western history, the Dunkirk retreat is of great historical significance. In the eyes of historians, it was this retreat that laid the foundation for the victory of World War II.

Nolan is an Englishman who has long been interested in the history of Dunkirk. As early as 04, when he cooperated with Warner, he proposed to put the story of Dunkirk on the big screen.At that time, Warner Pictures vetoed it, but gave Nolan another project, which was the Batman trilogy.

Today, Nolan is already a first-line director in Hollywood, and finally realized his idea at that time. It is said that Warner Pictures provided Nolan with 2000 million US dollars plus 20.00% of the box office in the film "Dunkirk".

Li Hyuk is not interested in the history of World War II, except for the animal island country next door, he is not interested in the history of other World War II countries, but Nolan's filming method is still very attractive to Li Hyuk.

Many people have a somewhat one-sided understanding of Nolan, thinking that he is the last author-director in Hollywood. This idea is correct, but don't forget that Nolan is also a technical director.

The whole film was shot with a 70mm IMAX camera, and the texture of the picture is quite good, and Nolan's control of the script and his usual time play can bring the audience a brand new viewing experience.

After a day of filming, Li Hyuk, Emma Stone and Nolan came to a coffee shop to chat. This is actually a promotional routine arranged by Warner Pictures to make "La La Land" and "Dunkirk" "Linkage publicity.

If there were no Chinese in Dunkirk, Lee Hyuk might have been cast in a role, as was Emma Stone, but this is a male drama and there is no heroine at all.

It is said that some female boxing organizations even went to protest when they heard that the crew did not have a female lead, which was even more outrageous than Uncle Hei's protest.With the camera following the shooting, the three of them chatted about some interesting things, such as Chinese food, Big Ben in London, Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, etc.

Nolan is knowledgeable and talented, and he can talk about any topic, but like most Westerners, he also has an indifferent attitude towards Huaxia. In fact, this is also a normal state of Western folks. As for the national level People don't care about things at all.

From this point of view, Chinese people are still stronger than Westerners. They can talk about the world situation and the presidential election, and they are very concerned about major affairs in the world. Maybe there is a relationship between the rise and fall of the world in their bones, and everyone is responsible for it... …

At the end of the visit to the "Dunkirk" crew, "La La Land" continued to promote in major European cities, and even held "La La Land" concerts in Vienna and Athens, with music from New York and Los Angeles. will be linked together, and this concert will continue until the announcement of the Oscar nominations.

Warner Pictures has already completed the Oscar competition plan, and with the help of Warner, Li Hyuk's team also tried their best to get a nomination.But to be honest, it is very difficult to get nominations, so the PR manager of Warner suggested Lee Hyuk to focus on the Golden Globe Awards, which is more hopeful.

When making plans to hit the awards, "La La Land" continued to make rapid progress in the world. As of October 31, the box office of the film exceeded 5 million U.S. dollars. next year's Oscars.

"La La Land" set the best box office record for Hollywood musicals. The contribution of the Chinese market is indisputable. Relying on Li He's appeal, the film scored more than 7 million box office in China, which is about 1 million U.S. dollars .But that's the end of the story. Musical films have a limited audience and limited box office potential.

In contrast, it is another Chinese blockbuster "Operation Mekong" starring Lee Hyuk. This film can be described as unrivaled. Contribution, the global box office actually exceeded 15.26 million US dollars, ranking No.3 in the global annual box office list.

And this is not the end of the film. In the future, I can continue to reap the box office and let my box office go up. "Operation Mekong" has a good overseas box office, and it has also hurt the eyes of many Huaxia film and television companies.

In the past, there were only a few Chinese-language films that could go abroad, and only the works of great directors like Guoshi had the opportunity to go abroad.But now, relying on Li Hyuk's card, many Chinese films that Li Hyuk starred in can be exported overseas, which is truly remarkable.

The most important thing is that the overseas box office performance is not bad. An action movie like "Operation Mekong" does not need any threshold for viewing movies, cultural understanding, as long as you can understand the high-energy action scenes throughout the movie.

So Li Hyuk was inevitably labeled as the second generation of Cheng Long. The eldest brother first entered Hollywood with his unique action movies to open up the market.

Guan Xia, who is Li He's spokesperson, is also crazy about it. Over the years, as Li He has gradually grown, Guan Xia has become one of the best makeup brands in China. The group has developed rapidly and signed many spokespersons.

For example, Guan Xiaotong endorsed the cosmetics of its youth series, and Liu Shishi also endorsed a facial mask, and Yang Yang endorsed a facial cleanser. If the contract between Da Mi Mi and Estee Lauder was not too deep, Guan Xia could not say that Da Mi Mi dug over and formed a husband and wife team with Li He to speak together.

After the promotion tour in Europe, Li Hyuk also returned to China, and there is still a lot of work waiting for him.Noon Sunshine reported that "Knowledge" has been officially approved and the main actors have been selected. Just wait for Li Hyuk, the leading man, to go back and pick an auspicious day, and the TV series will officially start.

In addition, there are makeup photos to be taken, the TV series "Knowledge", etc., etc. Li Hyuk has also received the script in the mailbox, and put forward some suggestions for revision.

The first cooperation between Li He and Zhao Yingbao, not only the insiders, but also the audience are very concerned. Zhao Yingbao's fans are very happy. This is Yingbao's cooperation with a superstar. It seems that our family Yingbao is really popular. .

The joining of two popular stars has also attracted the attention of TV stations and online video platforms. Before the filming of the TV series started, Mango Channel has already approached the door, expressing that it will win the exclusive premiere of this TV series.

However, Noon Sunshine did not agree immediately, and planned to discuss this matter after Li He returned from Europe.
