The King of Directors 2000

The warm sunshine danced and danced down.

The spring breeze in April is also dancing, with light steps and almost no sound, sneaking into the office unknowingly.

It wasn't until I was flipping through the books that I realized the wind was blowing.

Li Shengyao sat in his office, closed his eyes, and felt the gentle caress of April and the sage mode after unblocking.

On the sofa opposite him, Da Mi Mi was slumped there carelessly. She had already put on her clothes, panting, and her chest was rising and falling.

"The quality of your sofa is really good. How much does it cost? Where did you buy it? Brother, can you give it to me?"

"If you have something to talk about, don't think about coming to my place to catch the autumn breeze."

"You heartless person, I did that just now, and you still said that I was cheating on you, but I won't do it."

Li Shengyao ignored it and still closed his eyes.

At this moment, the cell phone rang. Li Shengyao picked it up and saw that it was Cheng Long's phone.

"Director Li, do you have time?"

"Yes, brother, what can I do?"

"Hey, it's not just the quarrel between you and Spielberg. There's a lot of quarrel in the beautiful country right now. There's a lot of negative news here, and of course there are a lot of people supporting you."

Spielberg has a special status in the beautiful country. He is not only a great director, but also a great producer.

He has a very good relationship with the Big Six in Hollywood.

But he is a Jew, a nation that has always been disliked.

There are many anti-Semitic groups in the United States. When they saw Lee Sheng Yew quarreling with Spielberg, they supported Lee Sheng Yew.

Of course, these people basically have no power and are a force that can be ignored.

Cheng Long paused for a moment and then said: "Director Li, people from Paramount came to me and asked me to make peace. I hope you won't argue with Spielberg."

Li Shengyao laughed when he heard this, "Brother, it's not that I don't care about this grandson. You know how I am. I don't offend others unless they offend me. I have always been peaceful and contented. My main battlefield now is not Hollywood. I am separated from him by a few steps." Wanli, why did he provoke me?

He said it to me, and I was baffled. "

"Yes, yes, yes, Director Li, I am definitely on your side, and I understand your situation.

Spielberg is a hypocrite like that. They think they control the world's media and are always superior. Even if you don't provoke him, he won't be able to stand you if you are more prominent than him.

That's what they, the Jews, are like. "

Li Shengyao nodded, "Yes, I didn't want to quarrel at all. I have no conflict of interest with them. It was entirely that bitch who started it."

"Director Li, I understand.

The current situation is that Paramount hopes that you can make a truce with Spielberg and not quarrel in the media or retaliate against each other because of this incident. "

Li Shengyao narrowed his eyes when he heard Cheng Long's words.

The films he made, "Three Billboards" and "Dalian by the Sea," had low investment and insufficient commercial potential. He didn't really expect the movie to take off at the box office. He was afraid of revenge.

Spielberg, on the other hand, produced an American TV series "Legend Season 4" this year. He is also the producer of "Transformers : Age of Rebirth".

At this time, American dramas can be introduced into the country. Even if Lee Sung-yao's Fenghua Video does not introduce Spielberg's "Legend Season 1", other video websites can also introduce it.

However, this kind of American drama is actually very dangerous and cannot withstand reporting. As long as you grasp one point, violence, sentimentality, or innuendo, it can be easily removed from the shelves.

As for "Transformers 4", it is a super blockbuster and has been confirmed to premiere on the same day in mainland China. Lee Sheng-yew found connections with him for a week, and then distributed pirated resources, which could reduce the box office of this movie by hundreds of millions.

That's why Paramount is nervous.

"Brother, if you call me, I will definitely give you face, but I also have a temper. If everyone can mock me at will in the future, then do I still want to hang out in the circle?"

"Paramount will definitely give you an explanation. Spielberg will keep his mouth shut. Then the share of "Transformers 4" in Fenghua Cinemas will be increased by five percentage points for your cinemas."

Spielberg simply keeps his mouth shut, rather than apologizing.

Li Shengyao knew that this was probably Spielberg's limit.

This guy is Jewish and has the support of a Jewish consortium. Even if his movie does not enter the mainland, he still has no worries about investment.

But it doesn't matter. Let's take Paramount's advantage first. "Transformers 4" is an absolute blockbuster, with a box office of nearly billion in the mainland.

If Fenghua Cinema's share is increased by five percentage points, it should be able to earn tens of millions more.

As for Spielberg, well, we'll see.

Jews control the media in this world. Almost all global channels are controlled by Jews.

But it doesn't matter, China will have to fight them sooner or later.

"Okay, since you said that, I will not answer questions in this regard when I am interviewed by reporters in the future. However, if Spielberg raises the topic first, I will still fight back."

"That's for sure. We don't cause trouble, but we can't let others bully us."

Li Shengyao then chatted with Cheng Long for a while and then hung up the phone.

But he saw Da Mi Mi coming to his desk at some point, "Brother, you are just so domineering."

"Are you mad?"

"Yes, brother, I still want it."

Of course Lee Sheng Yew would not be polite.

Half an hour later, he pulled up a chair and sat in front of the window, basking in the sunshine. Then he said, "Come here to see me. What's the matter?"

"The filming of Little Times is over. Brother, what TV series should I star in next?"

"Tiny Times 12" was filmed together, and Guo Xiaosi tasted the benefits, and later "Tiny Times 34" was filmed together.

With the current situation of great power, there is no hope of making splash in movies.

Acting in the "Little Times" series, she lost some of the movie audience she had finally accumulated.

Now she can only go to film TV series.

"What TV show is there?"

"Many, "Beautiful Li Huizhen", "The Negotiator", "Eye of the Storm", "One Thousand and One Nights", "Fire Cantabile"..."

Da Mi Mi talked about several TV series in succession, some of which were self-produced by Jiaxing, and some of which were submitted by other film and television companies.

Li Shengyao frowned after hearing this. What kind of rubbish is this?

I have to say, there are really few good dramas.

"Your "Gu Jian Qi Tan" will be aired during the summer vacation. This drama will definitely be a big hit. You can wait for a while. After this TV series becomes a big hit, see if there are resources similar to Xianxia movies, and then act like this A fairy tale movie."

"I want to act in an urban idol drama."

Da Mi Mi immediately followed.

Li Shengyao shook his head, "You don't have the temperament of an urban elite. You are not suitable for acting in urban movies."

The path to play with high power is actually very narrow.

The three TV series that made her popular are "Palace", "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", all of which are costume films.

She actually acted in a lot of modern films, working with young talents like Zun Li Taotao and Xu Kai, but none of them were hits.

She often plays urban elite women, but she really doesn't have that temperament.

As for letting her act in a period drama, that would be even more impossible.

Just like a TV series like "Children of the Qiao Family", she can't even act with great power, and her acting skills are inferior to those of the younger generation like Song Zuer.

After hearing what Li Shengyao said, Da Mi Mi crossed his arms and stared at Li Shengyao, "You underestimate me."

"I'm telling the truth." "I'm not convinced. Just wait, I'm going to act in a modern idol drama with a ratings of over three."

"You act, you really have a modern idol drama with a ratings of over three. I will personally write a movie script for you, invest 200 million, and make you the heroine."

Hearing this, Da Mi Mi's fox eyes became much brighter. He took two steps forward and shook Li Shengyao's hand, "Brother, it's settled."

"That's a deal."

"I have time next time, brother, are you busy?"

"I'm very busy and don't have time to spend time with you."

"La La Land" has been produced, and he is going to see the final effect of the film.

In addition, his children have grown up and started to pester him, asking him to play with them. He needs to be urged to spend more time with his children.

……

One morning at the end of April, Li Shengyao, Lu Guanting, Tang Shuchen, Li Bingbing, and Yue Ming came to the viewing room at the headquarters of Fenghua Film and Television Company, where they would watch "La La Land".

This was the first time Lee Sung-yew watched the film after the special effects were completed.

After learning about Li Bingbing, Yue Yueming and the others had time, so they invited them to come and watch together.

Li Bingbing wore a professional suit and a high ponytail today, looking very capable.

Yue Ming's complexion has improved a lot. He has been invited to be the leading actor in a TV series. He is wearing a suit today and looks very handsome.

At this time, Yue Ming was very natural and didn't have much burden on his heart.

Li Bingbing, on the other hand, although she kept smiling on her face, it could be seen that she was actually very nervous.

She had been hanging out in Hollywood for the past few years and had almost lost all the resources in the mainland. Huayi did not give her any film resources.

Now that she is returning to the mainland film and television industry, she just needs an excellent movie to open up the market and allow herself to re-enter the audience's field of vision.

Li Shengyao's film reputation is naturally no problem.

Generally speaking, the box office is not bad.

But that’s how people are, eating what’s in the bowl and looking at what’s in the pot.

Now that I know that this movie will have good reputation and box office, I want to make another movie. I hope it is a classic movie and will be a hit at the box office.

In this case, she can be considered to have some masterpieces that are substantial enough.

Li Shengyao didn't know what Li Bingbing was thinking, he just watched quietly.

"La La Land" actually has more special effects than the audience imagined, not just the starry night sky when the male and female protagonists dance together.

There are also many pictures that appear to be real shots.

These pictures are indeed real shots, but many of them have been edited to give them a dreamy feel.

This is the hidden special effect of this movie.

Needless to say, the city of Chongqing is very magical. It is very suitable as a movie background. The cyberpunk style, with a little modification and some dreamy artistic conception, the effect is very good.

Li Shengyao saw the scene where the male and female protagonists met at the beginning, and found that after special effects processing, the whole movie had a more romantic temperament, and he was secretly relieved.

This is the special effect he wanted, to give the film a vague romantic filter.

On the other side, Yue Ming, Li Bingbing, and Lu Guanting were stunned.

Yue Yueming looked at it and smiled softly.

When he was practicing, he always felt that his piano playing was not good and his dancing was stiff.

But at this time, he felt that in the picture, he was very chic and handsome, and he was very elegant when playing the piano, like a professional pianist.

Although his dancing is not as good as that of professionals, it is natural and smooth and has a high degree of completion.

He was very satisfied that the movie could produce such good results.

Lu Guanting was also very shocked. He did not expect that the music of this movie could be so romantic and so fitting.

As he got older, he felt that his creative talent was far less than when he was young.

In order to prepare the soundtrack for "La La Land", the couple prepared for a full year and a half, and it can be said that the two of them gave it their all.

Naturally they hope for good results.

But if you haven’t seen the movie, everything is unknown.

At this time, he was very satisfied with the effect of the movie. He felt that this time was another creative peak in his career.

Li Bingbing held her chin with her right hand, pursed her lips and looked at the big screen.

She didn't focus on the film's soundtrack or the dance. She was more concerned with the completeness of the story and the overall feeling.

She hopes this is a movie that will sell well and get a good reputation.

Watching it now, she feels that although the movie's story is simple, it is very meaningful.

Between dreams and love, how do lovers choose?

This theme easily resonates with the audience.

She thinks the box office will not be bad.

As for other aspects, it would be even better. Even if it is placed in Cannes, the reputation will not be bad.

She then thought about Li Shengyao saying that she would hope to compete for Best Actress at Cannes, and she couldn't help but look forward to it even more.

She has already imagined in her mind that she won the Best Actress at Cannes.

Do you want to prepare your acceptance speech?

Do you want to prepare a domineering dress?

Should we start hyping it up now?

All kinds of chaotic thoughts poured out, making Li Bingbing a little lost for a while.

At this moment, the movie ended, Lu Guanting clapped his hands and applauded, and Li Bingbing woke up.

"Director Li, this movie is really outstanding. Of all your movies, this one is my favorite."

Lu Guanting still insisted on his previous statement.

"Director Li, thank you very much. You invited me to act in such a good movie. I am really happy, very satisfied and excited. This is my honor and my pride."

Fu Yueming also said good things.

When Li Bingbing heard this, she immediately said good things.

After a while, Lu Guanting, Tang Shuchen, and Yue Ming left one after another, and they all agreed to meet in Cannes in May.

Li Bingbing didn't leave. After watching the movie, she couldn't help but think about it. She really wanted to get an answer from Li Shengyao.

"Director, do you think I have a chance to compete for Best Actress?"

"Yes, I have long said that even if you want to win a few best actors and actresses, you have to have confidence that the first two movies have been achieved."

Sister Shitou won the Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival for this movie.

Now Li Shengyao will take "La La Land" to participate in the Cannes Film Festival. He feels that Li Bingbing's performance is no worse than Sister Shitou.

Of course, it’s hard to say whether I can win a prize or not.

But now that we have reached this point, there is no need to be discouraged. Naturally, we must have confidence.
