Cultivate a male god: After listening to persuasion, I became a top-notch

Chapter 546: I hope you can take this punch from Brother Zhi!

It took a lot of effort for Li Youzhi to coax the worried Tu Zheng and others back.

Li Youzhi actually understood the concerns expressed by Tu Zheng, Liu Yun and Zhao Yaru.

After all, Zhige is very clear about what kind of person he is. From a business perspective, almost all the decisions he made and everything he did... seemed like a joke.

In the past, Heguang Culture was small in size, so it was no big deal if I worked hard. But now the size of Heguang Culture and the stock price of Heguang Audiovisual are there, so in the eyes of Tu Zheng and others, my operations are definitely just making trouble.

But there is no way...

The reason why you are yourself is because there are many things that no one else can or will do!
If he was really so stable, running a business and filming movies in a methodical manner, Li Youzhi would think it would be boring to stay in the entertainment industry.

What kind of life is it if you don't do anything naughty? It can only be called living!

It was exactly nine o'clock when I sent them to the elevator and returned to their room.

Just when Li Youzhi was thinking about taking the time to exercise, take a shower and go to bed, he saw a wave of private messages and @ suddenly appear on his mobile phone screen.

After taking a closer look, Li Youzhi couldn't help but laugh.

Hey, I didn’t expect the netizens to be so powerful. In just a short while, they forced Oscar to respond!
With admiration for the fighting power of Leziren netizens, Li Youzhi quickly followed the portal Leziren gave him in the private message and opened the official website of Oscar. However, when he saw the announcement just released by the Oscar selection committee, which was regarded as a response to his Instagram and TKK's public questioning of the selection, Li Youzhi's handsome face turned serious.

hiss,

What is the purpose of releasing a statement on INS and TKTK to publicly DISS the Oscars?
Li Youzhi himself knew that it would be very difficult to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film based on the plot of Buried. The fact that the Oscars had previously rejected the recommendation from the Film Bureau was not unexpected to Li Youzhi.

Although Zhige was angry about the arrogant words and attitude, he was not that angry. The main reason for the incident was that the Oscar selection process had already begun and the ceremony would be held in four months, which was the right time to heat up.

Since I have no possibility of being nominated now, I might as well do something about it. This first wave of traffic related to the Oscars is a sure thing, and it will be the traffic of movie fans all over the world!

After all, if there is a topic, it will be hot.

As for whether Oscar is under pressure, Zhige has no right to control that.

However, the response announcement of the presidium really saw through his intentions and even turned the tables.

Creating hot topics by themselves is to incite domestic fans of LeZhiRen, but the Oscar selection committee is inciting fans around the world who are watching the Oscar selection!

I want popularity, and Oscar wants popularity too.

It is foreseeable that after Lindemann issued this announcement, he will become the target of criticism from movie fans around the world. Even if he had twice as many fans, he could not compare to the audience of the Oscars, a film award that has been held for nearly a hundred years!

This is fucking taking advantage of Zhi Ge's power and using Zhi Ge as the first publicity point for this year's Oscars!

After reading the announcement carefully from beginning to end, Li Youzhi stared at the signature of Lindemann, the chairman of this year's jury, and couldn't help but pursed his lips.

I have to say, the person who wrote this announcement... is quite capable!
It not only affirmed the artistry of "Buried", but also emphasized the so-called Oscar selection principles. In this way, it seemed that Zhi Ge was a little frustrated and lost his composure because he was not selected.

Looking at myself first, I really underestimate the heroes in the world!
While Li Youzhi was staring at the announcement in a trance, the people on the Oscar official website who had climbed over the wall to have fun were already laughing out of anger!

Looking at the announcement, which seemed mild in wording, but every word was directed at Li Youzhi's famous family, the comment section below the announcement was boiling;
"Fuck you! You're promoting social dialogue and showing deep humanistic concern. To put it bluntly, isn't that just political correctness? We've seen what you Oscars are like before. When you're criticizing Hollywood movies, why don't you use these words to criticize them? Didn't you give out the awards that were due?"

"That's right, you Oscar selection committee are really thick-skinned to talk about double standards so righteously!"

"I get it, I get it. Chinese films that satirize American ills cannot be nominated = Oscars raise industry standards and encourage film art with far-reaching social impact. Movies shot in Hollywood or Europe that smear China can be nominated = unique voice and vision, leading to deeper artistic exploration... Hahahaha, the Oscar jury is a bunch of arrogant gentlemen, their double standards are getting more and more perfect."

When the announcement was first released, the comment section was filled with Chinese comments.

But as time went on, movie fans from other countries who were paying attention to the selection process also joined in, and the numerical advantage of the army of people who came for fun... was gradually overwhelmed.

In the face of people's sarcasm and ridicule, the voices in the comment section supporting the Oscar jury are growing stronger.

The first to be affected... are the Korean netizens.

If we ask which countries in Asia value the Oscars the most, Japan, South Korea, and India are all on the list. But if we can only choose one, it must be South Korean audiences!

Why do you say that?

South Korea has always had a mixed feeling of inferiority and arrogance in the international community. On the one hand, South Korea has a population of 5000 million and its GDP ranks among the top ten in the world, making it a medium-sized power. On the other hand, South Korea is located in the monster room of East Asia, and its neighbors happen to be China and Japan. Historically, South Korea has long been a vassal of China and was colonized by Japan for many years, which has led to a rather strange national sentiment in the entire country of South Korea. They always feel that they are great and the center of the universe, but at the same time they are full of inferiority. After all, the gap between them and China and Japan in all aspects is there.

But when it comes to culture, Koreans have never felt inferior.

Since the last century, South Korea has launched a strategy of developing its culture and exporting Korean Wave to the world. The reform of the film and television review and screening mechanism has also contributed to the golden twenty years of the Korean film industry. Although the domestic film and television box office has shrunk year by year due to poor economic development in recent years, the audience's expectations for Korean films have always been quite high.

Korean audiences are extremely active in almost every international film festival, and this is no exception when it comes to awards like the Oscars.

"Haha! I really don't understand what these Chinese are yelling about. They are making a fuss like children over a low-budget restricted-rated movie that didn't make the shortlist. They really have no knowledge."

"Poor Chinese audiences, maybe they think they missed the closest chance to an Oscar, after all, they have never received such an honor."

"Does China have any excellent films? If they praise even a film like Buried, I guess there is no such thing as film art, right?"

"I really don't understand why you, a narrow-minded and petty country, have the courage to challenge the authority of the Oscars. It's obvious that your level and vision are not good enough, but you still want to get the attention of the Oscars by crying. What a group of pitiful guys!"

"You haven't even won any major awards at other international film festivals in the past decade, yet you're still dreaming of winning an Oscar. You're such a ridiculous and pathetic bunch of wretches!"

In the comment section, netizens who were already angry at the Oscar jury's announcement, which seemed polite on the surface but was actually more arrogant, could no longer suppress their emotions after reading those sarcastic Korean comments!
……

After completing his leg training as usual and washing off the sweat, Li Youzhi, sitting in the living room of the hotel suite, picked up his mobile phone.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, in the comment section of his latest Douyin updates, the netizens who were out having fun were so angry that they were about to explode!

"Fuck, these stupid Koreans are making me so mad!"

"Aaaaaah... Tell them about the double standards of the Oscars, and they bring up the domestic film censorship. Tell them about the domestic film industry situation, and they bring up the fact that our market is being divided up between Hollywood and their Korean stars... My fucking prostate is swollen from all this rage, what a bunch of idiots!"

"I'm so angry that I'm crying. I can't bear this humiliation. @Li Youzhi, please come out and beat me up so I can vent my anger. Then I can go and fight those Korean idiots!"

"Damn it, it's true that the domestic film industry is not doing well. Apart from me, I really can't come up with any strong arguments to refute these Koreans. Don't say that the Koreans are disgusting. Their film censorship mechanism is indeed relaxed, and they are open to discussing social issues. They have made some films that are above the standard. But this feeling of being suppressed by the Koreans... It's really fucking bullshit!"

Beep!
Received the additional [Anger] and [Frustration] amazing value, 4120201 points!
Seeing a group of netizens who were just joking being humiliated and screaming in anger, Li Youzhi pursed his thin lips.

In fact, he was not in a good mood tonight. He was hit by a soft knife by the Oscar selection committee. When he was working out, he used three points more strength than usual.

Not for muscle gain, just for release.

Feeling the pressure that Leziren netizens were under on the external network, Li Youzhi, who had not thought of any solution for the time being, thought about it and directly dropped into the comment section.

[Friends, I'm sorry. I received a reply from the Oscars selection committee this afternoon, and I felt slighted and neglected. I was impulsive for a moment. I feel really bad for letting you all suffer for me. Please don't go to the Oscars official website to argue. It's meaningless under the current situation. Instead, it makes people feel that we lack grace and can't afford to lose. ]

Li Youzhi originally wanted to lower the heat and let the people calm down.

But he didn't expect that the moment his comment was pinned to the top of the comment section, the angry people suddenly became excited!

"Brother, I don't allow you to say such things! At a time when domestic films are collectively in a bad state, you are the only one who cares about us, the audience and netizens, and can produce works like "Dear", "Lonely Island", "The Wandering Earth", "Nezha" and "Buried"! You are our hope, and that's why we protect and support you so much!"

"@Take the advice, brother Li Youzhi, what was said above is correct! It's not that we can't afford to lose, but we can't swallow this humiliation! It has nothing to do with you, so stay out of this matter!"

"Fuck, I didn't really have a crush on the Oscars before. I felt it was just an American film award that was dominated by political correctness, but now I've changed my mind. Brother, I'll give you three years to grow up. Find a way to get me a little golden man! After we get it back, we'll smash it! Not to prove anything else, just to prove that we have the ability to win this award, but we don't bother to win it! As a viewer, I'm going to take this honor!"

Beep!
Received a suggested task (within three years, find a way to get an Oscar statuette), the task difficulty is 10 stars, and after completing it, you will receive 1 SS-level reward chest...

"..."

Li Youzhi grinned as he looked at the suggestions related to the Academy Awards that were refreshed on the task list.

Oscar, Oscar... To win this award, with my conditions, it is really fucking difficult.

Under normal circumstances, he might have complained a few words.

However, after seeing the support and encouragement in the comment section, and in order to divert netizens' attention, he did not do so.

Instead, he directly clicked on the irresponsible suggestion comment and casually replied;

"Okay, then let's study it carefully tonight. With my current condition, what should I do to win an Oscar?"

brush!
Facing Li Youzhi's online inquiry, everyone has developed a conditioned reflex... After seeing his reply, the hostility in the comment section instantly receded and the atmosphere became heated.

"I just looked at the catalog of Oscar-winning films in recent years. In recent years, the Oscars have paid special attention to themes that reflect social phenomena and individuals. Why don't you make a film of this type?"

"The one who said that, you are so out of date! What you said was the trend of the Oscars three years ago, it is no longer popular now! What kind of works are the Oscars willing to award now? Themes that reflect minorities and individuals from minority groups! This is the political correctness of this version of the Oscars!"

"That's right! And I have carefully studied the latest Oscar award rules. Starting from this year's Oscars, a film must meet the following requirements in terms of actors, film themes, and narratives: at least one of the main or supporting actors must be a minority, and some important actors and characters with fewer roles must come from at least two underrepresented groups; there must be a certain quota of ethnic minorities and minority groups in casting directors, photographers, composers, interns, marketing, publicity, and distribution to be eligible for the Best Picture award..."

"Fuck, so even if Buried is nominated, it doesn't meet this year's Oscar selection criteria? How can we play with such a version? Otherwise... brother goes to Thailand to change his personality?"

“Pfft! You were such a clever fellow in the previous part… But in this version of the Oscars, stacking buffs on yourself is a very effective way to win awards. If you want to win an Oscar, I suggest you turn yourself into an LGBTQIA+ person first, like a heterosexual bisexual woman or a Wal-Mart plastic bag or something, hahahaha!” “Don’t do it alone! Look at how the Oscars rules have been changed, how can you do it alone? I suggest that all LGBTQIA+ members of Wako Culture collectively transform into armed helicopters, so that the success rate of winning an Oscar will be at least +50%, hahahaha!”

Beep!
Received a suggested task (go to Thailand to change your personality), the task is repeated...

Received a suggested task (change gender to heterosexual female homosexual or Walmart plastic bag), the task difficulty is 8 stars!

Received a suggested task (let the employees of Heguang Culture Group change their gender to armed helicopters), the task difficulty is 9 stars!

"..."

Looking at the instantly relaxed atmosphere in the comment section, Li Youzhi was speechless.

Come on!
Brother Zhi originally wanted to divert your attention, but where did you divert your attention to? Damn it!
If what you idiots say is true, it would be easier for Zhi Ge to win an Oscar.

But Zhige is getting further away from humans!
Wanting to do what Oscar wants, Zhige's values... are really unacceptable.

It can’t be fixed. It really can’t be fixed.

and……

Looking at a bunch of completely irresponsible and rubbish suggestions, Li Youzhi shook his head helplessly.

The stacking of buffs mentioned by Leziren netizens is more for American filmmakers. If an American director has a buff like "minority" or "minority group" attached to him, it may be of some use to him in his Oscar bid.

But what is Zhige’s identity?
A Chinese with a pure and genuine red heritage!

The Oscars have different standards for foreign filmmakers and American filmmakers. And this difference in standards is not reflected in the creators or actors, but in the content of the work.

If you want to win an Oscar, you basically have to make a pledge to the Anglo-Saxon gangs, just like the three major European film festival awards. You have to show the so-called dark side of domestic society, and those old white people on the Oscar jury prefer this!
But if Zhi Ge is asked to compromise with such standards and discredit his own country just for an Oscar, is Zhi Ge still Zhi Ge?
What a beast!
Jingle bell bell bell bell…

Just as Li Youzhi was shaking his head at those unreliable suggestions, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was Subona calling, he picked up the phone calmly.

"Hello? Lao Su, what's going on?"

"My dear boss, let's raise a toast to celebrate! Just now, I have reached an agreement with Lionsgate and successfully finalized the DVD rights of "Buried" for 5.5 million US dollars! Congratulations, the revenue of the movie "Buried" has exceeded 40 million US dollars! Boss, if you hadn't publicly questioned the Oscars tonight and further spread the popularity of "Buried", those damn misers at Lionsgate might have to consider it for a week or two! Excuse me, boss, you are really a genius in self-marketing!"

Wuhu,

Hearing Subona's excited report on the other end of the phone, Li Youzhi raised his eyebrows.

Well, this is one of the few good news tonight.

Moreover... Li Youzhi is quite satisfied with the fact that Subona can provide rich emotional value at all times.

If this happened in ancient times, you would at least be made the chief eunuch!
No matter whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, it sounds so damn nice when it comes out of your mouth, Old Su.

I am very pleased.

"Lao Su, a netizen just suggested that I win an Oscar within three years. You are considered a veteran in the international film and television industry. Do you have any good suggestions or opinions?"

Just to kill time, Li Youzhi deliberately teased Su Bona.

Facing his question, Subona remained silent. After a while of thinking, he replied;

"Excuse me, boss, but this is almost impossible. The Oscars have been crazy in the past two years, and even people like me can't understand why they are right. If I have to say, I think if you become an American citizen, then give yourself a minority identity, and then give yourself a minority halo, and then use this as the background to shoot a film that reflects ethnic minorities or minority surnames, there may be a little hope. After all, this is a popular subject for the Oscars in the past two years.

Or... ahem, just like I told you before about "The Dreamers", add some things that the American mainstream wants to see, and other than that... ahem, boss, you have offended the Oscar jury, those old men in the Academy are very vindictive. They have reached the peak in terms of qualifications and experience. If they want to target you, with your current popularity and influence in the United States, you have no room for resistance. "

Um,

Listening to Subona's obvious fear of being bitten by a snake once, Li Youzhi touched his chin.

The two methods this guy mentioned are actually very similar to what I thought.

Given my current conditions, there is really little hope for me to win an Oscar.

Without a class to unite and without a unified goal to guide us, nothing can be accomplished!

With a faint sigh, Li Youzhi looked at the comment section of the announcement on the Oscars official website.

"This guy named Li Youzhi is so funny. Who does he think he is? As a director, most of the films he has made are commercial films. He has never made a single film that exposes social reality. Such a person is not worthy of being compared with the famous directors in our great South Korea. He wants to win an Oscar? Go learn how to shoot a movie first!"

Looking at the comments from a Korean netizen, Li Youzhi hissed.

"Boss, boss?"

Just when Li Youzhi felt as if he had grasped something, Subona on the other end of the phone greeted him.

"Boss, I have basically finished my work here. I plan to buy a ticket and return home after finishing the finishing work in three days. Do you have any other instructions?"

Faced with Subona's respectful application, Li Youzhi's brows, which had been frowned all night, slowly relaxed.

A bold plan has already taken shape in his mind...!
"Hahaha, Lao Su, you're not that anxious. Let me ask you, what is your nationality now?"

"Country of Citizenship?"

I don’t know why Li Youzhi suddenly asked this, Su Bona wondered;

"I obtained dual citizenship of the United Kingdom and the United States in order to facilitate the handling of international film and television copyrights for Warner. What's wrong with that, boss?"

"What is your gender?"

"Me? Boss, it's obvious that I'm a man!"

"No, you don't have to be."

Li Youzhi completely denied Subona's affirmative answer.

"Lao Su, you don't have to go back to China yet. Go change your gender tomorrow. Change it to dual surnames, trans surnames, queer, inter surnames, no surnames, or even other non-normative sexual orientations not mentioned above, or even Wal-Mart plastic bags!"

()
On the other end of the phone, after hearing Li Youzhi's arrangement, Subona's mentality... collapsed.

"Oh my God! Boss, what do you want me to do? Although I know that I am not so upright, but in terms of gender, I have a clear understanding. I am a man, a man, a man! Do you know what a man is? A man!"

Beep!
Received Subona's additional [Collapse] surprise value, 66 points!
Hearing a sharp system prompt sound next to his ear, Li Youzhi pinched his ears and ignored Subona's scream on the other end of the phone.

"Five hundred thousand dollars. Once I accomplish what I planned, I'll give you five hundred thousand dollars as a reward for your hard work."

"Boss, Wal-Mart plastic bags are too niche. I think transsexual queer is more suitable for me, what do you think?"

Hahaha,

Be good!

Li Youzhi was quite satisfied with Subona's cowardly attitude.

"Then it's your choice, and be quick. I'm useful."

"Um...Boss, can you tell me what you are planning to do?"

"What?"

Li Youzhi raised his eyebrows.

"Of course... unite the current version of the Supreme God in the United States and launch an attack on the Olympic Prize!"

Li Youzhi just said this to Subona, but he ignored him and hung up the phone.

Then he opened the Word file on his notebook and typed a big title - "Parasite"!
In Li Youzhi's impression, this film is the only Korean film that has won an Oscar, and it is a grand slam. It tells the story of a marginal family who pretended to be someone else, entered the upper class and became a parasite, but ended up in tragedy.

Originally, this story was set in South Korea.

But now, Li Youzhi is ready to make some changes to this story.

Are the Oscar judges targeting Zhi Ge? Do they think that Zhi Ge, a Chinese director and actor, is easy to control and can be suppressed by just calling on movie fans around the world?

That's it.

Then let’s use Zhi Ge’s best works to speak for himself!
A Korean-American brother in a homosexual relationship, an LGBT sister, a drug addict father, a depressed mother, and a black couple living in seclusion in the basement of a white American family...

Move the setting of "Parasite" from Korean society to American society, and stack up the buffs of version T0!

I want to see if you, Oscar... can take this punch!
