China Entertainment Zero Two Ordinary Actor

The news that Fang Yu was going to film "Mulan" for Liu Yifei spread back to China, and this big move shocked many netizens.

The lineup of Cheng Long, Jet Li, and Alex Fong and Sammo Hung is enough to keep the comment section arguing for three to five days.

Haiyan Fantasy: Oh my god, Fang Yu is too cruel. He just made big news in Africa, and now he wants to shoot a big-budget movie?
Wudi Niu Niu: If this lineup is true, it will be the pinnacle of Chinese-language films.

Black Monkey King: The last time Jet Li and Riding the Dragon teamed up was in The Forbidden Kingdom. To be honest, that movie wasn't very well-received, except for the fighting scenes. This Mulan is produced by Disney, so it's likely to be the same.

Xixi Fan Club: Fang Yu is going to do something big, the live-action version of "Mulan" sounds very exciting, looking forward to Liu Yifei's performance!
Blind spot: The combination of Fang Yu and Liu Yifei feels like it will create a different spark, but I don’t know how the plot will be adapted. Please don’t ruin the classic.

Professional Tiger Subduer: The person above said, this version of "Mulan" was originally a Disney-made modified version. If it is filmed according to their format, it can't be considered as ruining the classic, because it has already been ruined long ago.

Selling Moonlight: Disney has invested a lot of money in such a large production, but what I am more concerned about is whether this movie can really tell our Chinese story well.

Tiger Subduing Professional: It’s different from our original story.

Sun Shangxiang Pengpeng: Seeing this lineup, I feel that "Mulan" has potential. I hope it will not disappoint us and bring a high-quality work to domestic audiences.

Xingyuan Yunwuyao: Actually, I am more concerned about whether this movie can make a difference in the global market.

In addition to the endless discussions among netizens, the Sixth Princess also rarely started an hour-long live discussion, and specially invited two well-known people to discuss.

Female host: "Welcome to our show. Today we are honored to have the famous writer Mr. Liu Zhenyun and the senior media person Mr. Dou Wentao to talk about the recently hotly discussed movie "Mulan". First, let's hear the two guests' initial views on the movie."

Liu Zhenyun: "As a Chinese story that has been passed down through the ages, Mulan carries profound cultural significance and values."

"From a literary perspective, I am most concerned about whether the film can faithfully convey Mulan's inner spirit - bravery, filial piety and the awakening of female power. Although Disney's previous animated version was innovative, it also added some Western elements. I am curious about how the live-action version will handle these cultural differences."

Dou Wentao: "From the perspective of media communication, this movie undoubtedly has a huge influence. The lineup of Jet Li, Cheng Long, Fang Yu and Sammo Hung has won enough attention for the movie."

"But at the same time, this is also a double-edged sword. Audience expectations are very high, and the film must meet high standards in terms of content and production to live up to expectations."

Liu Zhenyun: "I am more concerned about the film's portrayal of the character of Mulan. As a female hero, Hua Mulan's story transcends time and space and has become a cultural symbol shared by the world. The film needs to show personal heroism while also respecting and embodying the essence of Chinese culture."

Dou Wentao: "Indeed, cultural communication is another highlight of this film. In the context of globalization, how to make audiences from different cultural backgrounds accept and love this work is a challenge. In addition, the film's marketing strategy and international distribution are equally important."

Audience: "May I ask the two guests, what do you think of the cultural controversy that "Mulan" may bring?"

Liu Zhenyun: "Any cross-cultural communication may be accompanied by controversy. It is important that filmmakers respect the original culture and avoid cultural misunderstandings and stereotypes. Controversy can also be the beginning of a dialogue, promoting understanding and communication between different cultures."

Dou Wentao: "I agree with Mr. Liu Zhenyun. In addition, as an audience, we should also keep an open mind and appreciate the diverse perspectives and innovations brought by film as a form of artistic expression."

Another audience member asked, "Please share your views on Fang Yu as a filmmaker. What do you think of the online saying that Fang Yu is the best in Chinese film?"

Liu Zhenyun: "As an important figure in the Chinese film industry, Fang Yu's works have not only had a profound impact in China, but also won international recognition. He has played a bridging role in connecting Chinese films to the world."

"Through his works, we see how Chinese stories are reinterpreted and presented to global audiences. Fang Yu's films often combine elements of tradition and modernity, and of the East and the West. This ability to cross borders and integrate makes him a shining name card for Chinese films."

Dou Wentao: "I agree with Mr. Liu Zhenyun's point of view. Fang Yu is indeed a leader in the Chinese film industry. He not only has profound insights in artistic creation, but also has made great contributions to promoting the internationalization of Chinese films."

"His works are often able to touch upon universal human emotions and values ​​while maintaining Chinese characteristics. This ability allows his films to transcend language and cultural barriers and be accepted by audiences around the world."

“I think it’s not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one figure in Chinese film.”

Female host: "Okay, thank you both for sharing. Our program ends here. Thank you for watching. Goodbye!"

In a dark manor somewhere, a family of two sat in front of the TV.

"What bullshit! He's the best!" Shota hugged his chest, "An amateur!"

The gliding wall on the side didn't say much and cut a table.

"Nowadays, no matter if they are making a show or doing something else, even those terrorists, they are all amateurs!" Shota was so angry that he wanted to throw things, and Qiang Ge immediately moved the cup away.

"I don't understand. They've already kidnapped the guy, why didn't they kill him?"

"Honey, don't think about it. I feel like we are being robbed by a thief. Others don't want to take such a big risk. It's not the high seas. It's not that easy."

"That's true. We've been defrauded of a lot of money in the past two years. I think we should celebrate."

"A happy occasion? You mean?"

"Yes! It's for the purpose of getting married!"

When I was bored, the door of the villa was pushed open.
Shota looked back and saw that it was his son who came back.

Just the woman behind you?
Xiang Zuo returned home with his girlfriend Guo Biting. They walked into the house hand in hand, with happy smiles on their faces.

Guo Biting felt somewhat nervous, as everyone knew that Shota had a bad temper, but in her opinion, Shota's family was undoubtedly the wealthy family she had always dreamed of, so she was conflicted but also looking forward to it.

When Shota saw his son coming home with his girlfriend, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. This was really like giving a pillow to someone who was sleepy. But the surprise was soon replaced by a warm smile.

She stepped forward and greeted Guo Biting cordially: "Welcome to our home, Miss Guo."

Guo Biting responded nervously: "Hello, Shota, nice to meet you."

Brother Qiang smiled and looked at Guo Biting carefully, with a satisfied look in his eyes.

He could see that this girl was not only beautiful but also elegant, and was a good candidate for a daughter-in-law.

Xiang Zuo pulled Guo Biting to sit down, and then said to his parents seriously: "Dad, Mom, Biting and I have been in love for a long time, and I want to marry her."

Shota and Huaqiang exchanged glances, and then Shota slowly said, "Son, we know that you like Biting very much, and we also think she is good. She is a good girl. We agree with your marriage."

When Guo Biting heard this, she was so excited that tears were about to fall.

She didn't expect Xiang Zuo's parents to accept her so easily, and she felt extremely happy and grateful.

Xiang Zuo was also very happy. He held Guo Biting's hand tightly and said to his parents: "Thank you, Dad and Mom. I will take good care of Biting and make her happy."

Shouta nodded, "We know you will. We will arrange the wedding as soon as possible. The wedding will be held next week."

Guo Biting was even more excited when she heard the news.

She didn't expect everything to go so smoothly, she felt as if she was in a dream
Xiang Zuo was also very happy. But he couldn't figure out that Guo Biting was hiding a secret between her and Fang Yu.

After half a month of careful preparation, the opening ceremony of the live-action version of "Mulan" was finally held amid everyone's anticipation.

The ceremony was held in an ancient town with traditional characteristics. Exquisite Chinese knots and banners were arranged around the site, creating a solemn and festive atmosphere.

In the center is a large incense table with various offerings on it as a prayer for the smooth filming of the movie.

Changing the filming location from a Hollywood studio to a small town in China saved the crew 100 million yuan in costs.

At first, the Hollywood team was still unwilling to agree with Fang Yu. But Fang Yu waved his hand and hired a filming team from Hong Kong for Li Kan, turning the entire group into a Hollywood blockbuster production for the Chinese team.

The scene was also very well organized, and a start-up ceremony was turned into a red carpet feast.

The stars appeared one after another.

The first person to appear was Jet Li, who was doing Tai Chi in the morning.

When action superstar Jet Li arrived at the scene, his calm steps and signature smile immediately caught everyone's attention.

Reporters came forward to ask questions: "Mr. Jet Li, what role do you play in this movie? Can you tell us about the characteristics of your character?"

Jet Li smiled and replied: "I play a key role in the film. I can't reveal too many details, but I can tell you that it will be a challenging and profound role."

"Mr. Li, Chenglong will also be in this film. Will he and your character fight like in The Forbidden Kingdom?"

Jet Li smiled mysteriously, "The secret cannot be revealed."

When the reporter saw this, he realized that Jet Li refused to say anything, so he could only focus his attention on the person behind him.

Chenglong arrived very early and was surrounded as soon as he appeared.

"Mr. Chenglong, your collaboration with Mr. Jet Li in Mulan is highly anticipated. Can you reveal some information about your role?"

Chenglong responded gracefully: "Mr. Jet Li and I do have many wonderful rival scenes in the drama, but the specific details will be left for the audience to reveal in the cinema."

This sentence made the reporters very excited, and they all prepared to edit the headlines.

As the leading actress, Liu Yifei's arrival undoubtedly pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

"Ms. Liu Yifei, did you have any special preparation for playing the role of Hua Mulan?"

Liu Yifei answered confidently: "In order to better interpret the role of Hua Mulan, I have made preparations in many aspects, including martial arts training and a deep understanding of the character's inner world. I hope I will not disappoint everyone."

Finally, the arrival of director Li Yan marked the official start of the opening ceremony.

"Director Li Yan, what are your expectations for this live-action version of Mulan?"

Li Wei answered confidently: "Mulan is a story full of power and wisdom. I hope that through our efforts, the audience will be able to see a Mulan that is both faithful to the original and modern."

As the director and leading actors finished their speeches, the opening ceremony entered its climax.

As the producer, Fang Yu also went on stage and delivered a brief speech.

"Today, we gather here to witness the start of filming of Mulan. This is not only the beginning of a film, but also the beginning of us showing the charm of Chinese culture to the world. On behalf of the crew, I would like to thank everyone for their support. We will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."

Led by Fang Yu, everyone lit incense collectively.

The applause, cheers and shutter clicks at the scene intertwined together, sending the most sincere blessings to this highly anticipated movie.

Mulan, turn on.

While Fang Yu was promoting Chinese culture, a film with a Western background and human rights themes was quietly submitted for review.

"Green Book?"

A black judge was stunned when he saw the title of the film.

Then I thought of a possibility!
He watched it quickly.

At the end of two hours, the black judge wiped away his tears.

"Oh my God! What a touching film!"

He looked at the production list and found that the screenwriter and producer were both Stephen Fang. He was so shocked that he was speechless!

"Steven Fong made a show like this for the black community? He is my idol!"

The same thing happened to the rest of the judges, and a few days later, the list of invitations for Oscar nominations began to be drawn up.

Nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.

Nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards.

Nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards.

Nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards.

Nominated for Best Editing at the Academy Awards.

After five nominations, the biggest winner is already about to be announced before the awards ceremony even begins.

And just at this time, another film was submitted for review, catching the judges off guard.

"Parasite? What does this cover mean? Is it about family life in Asia?"

After seeing that the screenwriter and producer were both Fang Yu, the judges patiently continued watching.

Two hours later, the people who had previously given high marks to "Green Book" gave high marks to "Parasite" again.
The black judge who had previously nominated Fang Yu for Best Supporting Actor also filled in the name of "Parasite" in the Best Film column.

He smiled and shook his head, "It seems that this time, the Oscar is Stephen Fang, fighting with both hands." (End of this chapter)
