China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 614: Someone is jealous, a new script prepared for Li Zi.
Sun Yi already knew what Leonardo wanted and wanted.

Basically just for the Oscars.

Of course, it would be a bit nonsense to say that when Liu Yifei was filming "Inception", the Oscar academy routines she told her were just to lure Leonardo into taking the bait.

But a while ago in Beijing, Xiao Lizi bluntly invited Sun Yi to the media, and even offered to reduce his salary. Sun Yi had some speculations.

When he landed in Los Angeles this time, DiCaprio specially invited him to the party.

Sun Yi made a good guess.

After all, apart from that, what else could Xiao Lizi do to him?
In the director circle, Sun Yi is indeed well-known at the moment, but that is in China, or to say more, in the Chinese cultural circle. In Hollywood, although he also has good box office results, he is not as famous as others. There is still a certain gap between well-known Hollywood directors.

With Li Zi's current status, except for a few directors who are beyond his reach, basically everyone else can give him face.

Over the years, he has been cooperating with major directors, but the results are always unsatisfactory.

Either the director won the award, the movie won the award, or the heroine won the award. As the leading actor, he was only nominated and missed the trophy every time.

With this result, it is better not to nominate.

How embarrassing.

Keren, that's it. Otherwise, no matter what, what you don't get will always be in turmoil.

The less Li Zi won the prize, the more he pursued it.

Oscar abused him thousands of times, but he treated Oscar like his first love.

Over the years, he has been constantly looking for good scripts, good roles, and even well-known directors. In any film he stars in, the above three are indispensable. Some people even joked, "Leonardo has it written on his face in every film." I can act in four big words.”

It can be seen that his pursuit of this Oscar gold has become an obsession.

Two months ago, he attended Cannes. When he saw Wu Renlin, an amateur crew member who was starring in a movie for the first time and won the international best actor for Sun Yi's movie, he couldn't sit still anymore.

An idea that seemed absurd to outsiders took root and sprouted in my heart until it grew bigger and bigger.

That is, try Sun Yi, a director from China.

For Sun Yi, having an international superstar like DiCaprio take the initiative to appear in his own film is a great benefit to his reputation, status and even the company. It will even help to open up the North American film market.

Therefore, he had no reason not to agree.

The lights have already started to turn on in Xiao Lizi's manor, and the whole manor is lit up with warm yellow lights, making it look very warm.

Liu Yifei had already taken a shower and changed into fresh clothes, and was chatting with Li Zi's female companion.

Sun Yi and Xiao Lizi here have already started talking about the script.

"Director Sun Yi, to be honest, my goal is the Oscar. I have heard about your ability before, but I have concerns. But the scene at the Cannes Film Festival shocked me. Every farmer... I can become an international movie star under your training, this"

Leonardo shook his head mockingly, pretending to be in disbelief, "If I hadn't seen the movie live, I really couldn't imagine it."

"In the movie "Into the Dust," the actor won an award. To be honest, it's a bit of a coincidence, because he is an out-and-out farmer, and he acted in his true colors, so he looked very natural and completely uncharacteristic. The traces of performance, of course, are also a big reason for the excellent script.”

Sun Yi answered honestly.

"The director is also excellent. Respect the excellent director." Leonardo raised his glass to Sun Yi and added at the right time, which made Sun Yi smile leisurely.

He was still quite proud of Xiao Lizi's praise.

"Here's to the outstanding actors."

After the two drank a glass of wine, they got to the point.

"Actually, in my opinion, the small gold for an Oscar is nothing more than the film's subject matter, public relations, and a little bit of luck."

"Oh, by the way, the premise of these is that the quality of the film and the actors' performances must pass. I shouldn't need to say more about this."

Sun Yi pointed at Xiao Lizi and himself, his face full of confidence.

Leonardo nodded. Although he was not absolutely sure about Sun Yi, he was willing to give it a try, otherwise he would not be so proactive.

"I believe you are more familiar with public relations than me, an outsider. I can't help with this. As for the subject matter and script of the movie, I am still a little confident."

"The Chinese are a nation that is good at summarizing, and there are rules to be found in Oscars. Leon, I wonder if you have noticed that the roles that have won the Oscars in previous years fall into three categories, regardless of gender."

“Disability, or having defects in various senses, whether physical or physical, is the first; then there is the biographical figure, and there is no need to say more about this, because as a biographical figure, he is a legend in his own right; and finally, there is the biographical figure. one type."

Having said this, Sun Yi paused, shook his head and smiled, and then continued:
"This last category is acting gay, which is gay."

"Oh, no, no, no, I don't like this very much. At least for now, I still have the idea of ​​​​acting in this kind of role." Xiao Lizi shook his head when he heard Sun Yi talking about gays.

For a playboy like him who never finds a girlfriend over the age of 25, having him play a gay man would be even more uncomfortable than killing him.

Sun Yi shook his head and laughed.

How about watching "The Revenant" so that Leo can experience wilderness survival in advance? Maybe the behind-the-scenes footage can be made into a variety show called "Little Leo Survival in the Wilderness".

Of course, this was a joke, but Sun Yi was busy. He still had a movie script that he promised Xiao Nizi that he had not yet finished, so how could he have so much leisure to go into the ravine with Xiao Nizi.

"The Revenant" was filmed in Canadian forests and South American tropical rainforests, and Sun Yi didn't want to experience wild survival himself.

If you look at it this way, you have to choose between disability and biographical figures.

Sun Yi thought for a while, and then looked up and down at Little Plum.

Well, my figure has gained some weight again, and I no longer look as handsome as before.

This must make so many female fans sad. How about helping him lose weight?

"Leon, do you usually like to exercise?"

"I'm an athlete." Leonardo took a sip from his wine glass and replied confidently.

Sun Yi nodded happily.

"As long as you like sports, I have always felt that only when people love something, they will devote themselves to it wholeheartedly."

When Leonardo saw what Sun Yi meant, he immediately realized something, but what followed was disbelief.

Could it be that he has thought of the script now?
"Director Sun Yi, what do you mean?"

"Almost, I have an idea."

On the way back in the car, it was Liu Yifei's turn to light up the gossip.

"Brother, what script did you decide for Leon?"

Xiao Nizi stared at Kazilan's two big eyes, full of curiosity.

"Hey, how do you know I have thought about the script?"

"Tch, I don't know you yet. Every time you are confident, you always look like this, with a bad smile on your face." Liu Yifei complained casually, and then tugged on Sun Yi's hand excitedly. Arm, asked again:
"Tell me, I really want to know. I heard that you asked Leon to lose weight. Is it about exercise?"

Sun Yi pursed his lips and smiled, shaking his head.

This is much more serious than exercise.

It's not an exaggeration to say it's self-inflicted.

Liu Yifei thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason. She was not good at creation, so after a while, she chose to give up, hugged Sun Yi's arm, and started acting like a baby.

"Tell me quickly~"

What is a annoying little goblin? Liu Yifei is now.

Sun Yi had no choice but to compromise and reveal a little bit to her.

"It's a story about a fighter."

"Fighter?"

Liu Yifei thought for a while, but still didn't understand. "Hey~ah~, stop being so pretentious."

"Really want to know?"

"Ok!"

"Then, you have to agree to a small condition."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei instantly narrowed her eyes, looking unkind.

"If I don't ask, I already know that you have bad intentions. You must have those messy conditions again."

As she spoke, Liu Yifei shook off Sun Yi and leaned against the car window, her face blushing uncontrollably.

If you don't ask, don't ask. Who cares?

Oops! ~~
so annoying.

Liu Yifei glanced at Sun Yi with her peripheral vision. Even though she knew that he was full of bad intentions at this moment, she was still itchy about the movie, and her curiosity gradually gained the upper hand.

Do you want to promise him this time?

Anyway, it won’t happen next time.

that is it.

"Tell me."

Sun Yi was feeling regretful, but he didn't expect that the tried-and-tested move didn't work.

But in the next second, Xiao Nizi said this sentence without even looking at him.

Sun Yi was secretly happy and leaned over to whisper a few words into Liu Yifei's ear.

"Hmph." Liu Yifei's face turned red and she snorted from her nose.

This is, agreed.

Sun Yi was so happy that he couldn't fly home immediately, but he still solved the mystery for Liu Yifei first.

"Well, the story I prepared for Leonardo DiCaprio is a biography, and it's called "Dallas Buyers Club."

"Dallas Buyers Club? What is this?"

"This is a true story in American history. A cowboy named Ron Woodruff was diagnosed with HIV. In the 30s, AIDS was considered a terminal disease, with no effective treatment or even delayed treatment. There is no specific medicine for the condition, and the doctor told him that he only had days left to live.”

"But he was not willing to sit back and die. While facing the despair of the disease, he began to actively help himself, researched and understood the disease, and then discovered that although the drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration can delay the disease to a certain extent, the side effects are extremely Severe and may even accelerate the patient's death. Without access to legal drugs, he began to find various illegal ways to purchase drugs and experiment on himself."

"Later, in order to help himself and other AIDS patients, he established the "Dallas Buyers Club." This is the origin of the movie's title. It mainly tells the story of Ron, the disease, the US Food and Drug Administration, and the discrimination against them in the entire society. stories of people’s struggles.”

"So, he's a fighter."

After Liu Yifei heard this, she couldn't help biting the corner of her mouth, and her beautiful eyes blinked.

After following Sun Yi for so many years, I have never eaten pork, and I have seen pigs run away.

Maybe this metaphor is not very appropriate, but in fact, Liu Yifei may still not be very good at creation, but with the help of Sun Yi, her script analysis and character understanding have improved several levels.

Just by listening to Sun Yi's general remarks, she analyzed a lot of things.

The conclusion drawn is that this is a rare good script.

The whole story revolves around struggle, the countdown to life, the conflict between patients and doctors, the conflict with death, and the conflict with those who discriminate against them in society.

There are also various mental journeys of the entire character in different worlds.

Such a role is something that every aspiring actor would not let go.

Liu Yifei was thinking about it and actually glared at Sun Yi fiercely again.

"Hey, why are you staring at me?"

"What are you doing, you are partial~"

"what??"

"You have a gay relationship with Leonardo, otherwise why...why don't you choose a good script for me?"

As she said that, Liu Yifei pouted her lips a little aggrievedly, and subconsciously stirred the corners of her clothes with her fingers.

Ha, it turns out that Xiao Nizi is jealous.

Sun Yi couldn't help but smile, but he didn't expect Xiao Nizi to become jealous because of this.

Speaking of which, he was very unjust.

A good story and a good script require an actor's personal ability to shine. To be honest, Xiao Nizi's previous level was quite unsatisfactory, so Sun Yi never chose these difficult roles for her. thing.

Liu Yifei is also sensible and has never made any requests to Sun Yi in terms of movie scripts, except a while ago.

But that's because she hasn't made a movie with Sun Yi for a long time, rather than because she has any other requirements for the script.

This time, it was entirely because the story was so good that she was so shocked that she suddenly lost her temper.

As soon as those words came out of her mouth, she felt a little regretful and felt that she was being unreasonable.

Carefully, he raised his eyes to look at Sun Yi, and then gently tugged on him.

"Brother, I was wrong, I didn't mean that."

Sun Yi wanted to explain, but Liu Yifei unexpectedly admitted his mistake first. He grinned and asked:
"Then what do you mean?"

"Just, I'm a little unhappy. Who is he to you, and who am I to you?"

"Then, who am I?"

"Daughter-in-law, girlfriend~"

"Tsk, tsk, I'm very happy that you can say that, but I'm not satisfied with this title. Please try another one."

Liu Yifei bit her lip and looked at Sun Yi with shame and anger.

"I, I am your daughter-in-law, my wife, that's all."

"Then what should you call me?"

"Husband, official, husband!~"

"Eh,"

After the fuss, Sun Yi felt comfortable and simply chatted with Xiao Nizi about her personal future plans.

Now Liu Yifei's acting skills are completely up to par, and it's time to take on the challenge.

Sun Yi plans to prepare one or two films for her every year, one commercial and one literary.

While maintaining box office appeal, further hone your acting skills.

"As for the script, don't worry. With your husband, there are always good stories."

"Tch, stinky~"

"Haha."

That night, when the moon was above his brow, Sun Yi finally pulled away the little velvet rope that he had been longing for.

The beautiful scenery below is indescribable to outsiders.
