China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 784 Who has evil intentions?

In addition to the Oscars awards ceremony, there is also a winners dinner.

Of course, this winners' dinner does not mean that only the winners can attend. It is meant to celebrate the winners. Basically, as long as the time is not particularly inconvenient, everyone who attends the award ceremony will come to attend.

Sun Yi is no exception. Although he did not win the award, at least he was nominated.

Moreover, such occasions are the best time to communicate with each other and expand your network.

He himself doesn't really need this, but after all, there is a branch in North America, and being able to build relationships with bigwigs in the industry has many benefits.

In addition, he has another mission, which is the Beijing International Film Festival in a month.

When the municipal government was preparing for the event, it had originally planned to hold a preview this year without holding any corresponding awards.

Use the first year to build up a reputation, and then start the formal awards ceremony next year.

The city government is also afraid.

Don't make the early preparations so lively, only to find that only a few people come up with results in the final selection. That's so embarrassing.

It is an international A-level film festival after all, so there should be some real big names and good works.

Frankly speaking, the city government’s considerations are correct and it is a steady and cautious approach.

But Sun Yi felt that there was no need to be so cautious.

Not to mention the many works of Starry Sky, there are also Emperor Entertainment Group, Huana Entertainment, Bona Film Group and Pony. The films of these partners can almost support a small film festival.

If we raise the prize money a bit to attract friends from the third world, the atmosphere will be enhanced.

As for the international big names, leave it to him.

After these years, I still have a few friends in Hollywood, and tonight's Oscar awards ceremony is the best time.

Sun Yi frequently made appearances at the dinner, and mentioned the Beijing International Film Festival to all the directors and producers.

He even invited some top stars.

It doesn’t matter if there are no works to be judged, you can just come and be the award presenter.

After one round, he had almost booked all the attendees of the award-winning dinner.

Everyone who received his invitation was very honored and said, "If time permits, we will definitely go and have a look."

Sun Yi felt that this trip to the Oscars was very rewarding.

Don't think these are just polite words.

If it were a few years ago, it would have been true.

But now, that’s not necessarily the case.

Throughout 11, China's film market continued to prosper, with the total box office exceeding 180 billion RMB, or more than 25 billion USD, surpassing small box office for the first time and becoming the world's second largest movie box office.

The US Department of Commerce is negotiating with China, hoping to increase the annual quota of imported films from 25 to 34.

These Hollywood tycoons are worried that they have no chance to interact with China.

Now that I have this opportunity, what else can I say? Of course I have to come and make myself known.

It can be said that Sun Yi’s invitation tonight is a two-way process.

After drinking a lot at the dinner, he was already feeling a little dizzy and was finally taken away by Leo.

As one of the big winners of this year's Oscars, a winners dinner is definitely not enough to satisfy Leo's excitement.

At least there has to be a victory party.

As for what this victory party will be like.

You can guess.

Anyway, Sun Yi was dragged there in a daze, and then he completely lost all memory.

At noon the next day, Sun Yi woke up from bed, covering his forehead. As soon as he sat up, he felt a little cold.

Damn, I'm naked!
My mind suddenly became mostly clear.

He lifted the quilt and looked down, then let out a long breath.

It’s okay, the last bit of stubbornness is still there.

I almost thought I had done something to let Xixi down.

Alas, this little Leo can't do anything either.

We were all drunk, what a good excuse.

This friend is in vain.
Sun Yi packed up quickly and ordered a takeout from a nearby restaurant. Leonardo took him home last night, which was the small villa he and Liu Yifei lived in at the foot of Beverly Hills.

The two of them lived here when they were in the United States, so they are very familiar with the surrounding area.

While waiting for the takeaway, Sun Yi browsed the news about last night's Oscars online.

Sure enough, overnight, the Oscar award results completely occupied all pages of film, television and entertainment news, and they were all headlines, and they were constantly updated.

Sun Yi first watched the American version.

"The 84th Academy Awards was an Oscars with almost no suspense. The Artist won 4 out of 2 nominations, taking home the Best Picture and Best Director awards, and Meryl Streep, a model of old-school acting, won the Best Actress award. There were no surprises, no dark horses, no surprises, and no bright spots. So, this year's Oscars looked like an old man who had to go to the toilet every few minutes, and the dripping toilet was not clean, which was really unbearable."

"The only consolation is that Leonardo DiCaprio finally realized his dream after many years, and with his outstanding performance in Dallas Buyers Club, he impressed the Academy judges and won the Oscar for Best Actor this year."

"Leonardo praised the film in an interview and said the person he wanted to thank the most was the film's director, Sun Yi from China."

Not bad, not ungrateful.

Sun Yi chuckled in his heart, changed the website and continued reading.

This time the news is more gossip-oriented and is reported by some tabloids.

"Leonardo fought for many years and finally won the Best Actor award. To celebrate this moment of victory, he invited more than 20 top supermodels to hold a party and revel all night long."

More than 20 people?

Top supermodel?

Party all night?

Sun Yi said that he didn't remember.

It should have nothing to do with me.

Look down again.

There are also pictures.

And I am among them.

Sun Yi suddenly felt a little numb.

He was very familiar with the background of the picture, which was Leonardo's garden villa. The two of them were sitting in the middle of the sofa with their arms around each other, holding a glass of champagne in each hand and making a toast.

If the photo ended here, there would be nothing much to say. The key point is that there is a row of supermodels in cool clothes standing next to the two people.

There are black, white, Latin, blonde and blue-eyed ones.

Each of them has a curvy figure, and just looking at the photos can make your blood boil.

If the photo still ends here, then it can still be explained.

The problem is the expressions on their faces; they looked too excited, too intoxicated.

Compare this with the expression on Jackie Chan’s face when he was dreaming at the beginning of City Hunter.

Damn it, if Liu Yifei sees this, my life will be in danger.

Sun Yi felt a surge of fear in his heart. What the hell was this? The key point was that he hadn't done anything yet.

Suddenly, the cell phone rang.

Whatever you are afraid of, that's it.

The caller ID shows "My dear wife".

Really inch~
Sun Yi didn't want to answer the call at all, but he had no choice but to answer it. Finally, he had to press the answer button with a feeling of going to a grave.

"Hey, Sissy."

"Are you awake?"

"Ah, I woke up, just woke up." "Why, you sound a little unhappy?"

"No. No no, I'm fine."

"I thought you were in a bad mood because you didn't win the Best Director award last night."

"Hey, a best director, it doesn't matter, there will be opportunities in the future."

Liu Yifei's tone remained the same as always, with no change, and Sun Yi gradually felt relieved.

What kind of thing is this? You haven't done anything, but you still have to take this risk.

"Why are you calling me at this time? It should still be morning at home."

"I miss you as soon as I wake up. Why, don't you miss me?"

"Yes, I miss you so much that I want to fly back right away."

"Hmph, you passed."

Sun Yi looked at the time. It was almost 12 o'clock. According to the time difference, it should be a little after 7 o'clock in Beijing, so he asked:
"Why did you get up so early today?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Hearing this, Liu Yifei was unhappy and replied lazily: "I don't want to get up so early either, but I have work today. I didn't finish shooting the Chanel commercial yesterday. I still have one day today, so I have to get up early~"

You are still lying in bed lazily and haven't gotten up yet.

When Sun Yi heard the voice, the image of Liu Yifei lazily rolling around on the bed at home automatically appeared in his mind.

There's no way, you'll always encounter it.

"Okay, since you have work to do, don't stay in bed. Get up early, wash up, and eat breakfast. Don't work without eating breakfast. It's not good for your health."

"No, I just want to be lazy. You are not at home and you can't control me."

Sun Yi was so angry that he laughed and was speechless.

"When will you come back?" Liu Yifei changed her tone to a coquettish one, making Sun Yi seem like he had been gone for a long time.

It's only been two days.

"I just reached an agreement with Warner Bros. I want to take advantage of this trip to the United States to finalize the cast, and then I can return to China to prepare. This movie is a mecha movie, and the early preparations will take a long time."

"Oh, then hurry up."

Liu Yifei showed little interest, and it seemed that she would rather her husband return home earlier than starring in a Hollywood A-level production.

"I was watching the news, and they were all praising you. Leon even said that he was able to win the Best Actor award thanks to you. Humph, he has a conscience."

Hearing this, Sun Yi felt the hairs on his body stand up.

Just when I was about to persuade Liu Yifei to stop watching, I heard Liu Yifei's sweet and somewhat sickening voice on the phone.

"Honey, you had a lot of fun last night~"

It's over!

After all, he was discovered. Sun Yi now really wanted that knife to hit himself.

Of course, it’s from above, not below.

"Uh, that, Sissi, wife, I said I didn't do anything, do you believe me?"

Sun Yi stammered.

There was a sudden silence on the phone.

Sun Yi was extremely nervous. Just when he felt that he was doomed, Liu Yifei suddenly chuckled on the phone.

"Hahaha~ You were scared to death. Let's see if you dare to do it again in the future, hum!"

"Uh, Xixi, you're not angry?" Sun Yi asked tentatively.

"Why are you angry? You are my husband, of course I believe you."

To be honest, Sun Yi was somewhat moved when he heard Liu Yifei say this, but the next sentence made him feel as if he had been greatly insulted.

"I believe you have the will but not the courage to do it."

"I!"

"You dare??!!"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Sun Yi said, I surrender.

"If someone really has the ulterior motive, he should work hard and try to come back this week. Maybe he can satisfy his craving. Otherwise, he may have to wait another week."

Liu Yifei spoke seriously into the phone.

"A week?"

Sun Yi was a little confused. Why did he have to wait another week?

"Well, just one week."

"Oh, I understand, I understand, I'll hold on tight, wife, I will definitely hold on tight."

Sun Yi's face was full of smiles. It would be hard to endure for a week, so he had to hurry.

"Look at you, day after day, I'll wait for you."

Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone looked shy.

In fact, it is not certain who started this evil intention.
Two days later, Sun Yi and Warner finalized the specific cooperation agreement.

The total cost of "Edge of Tomorrow" is estimated to be 1.6 million US dollars, jointly invested by Star Image and Warner Pictures in a ratio of 2:8. As one of the project directors and producers, Sun Yi will enjoy an additional 10% of the global box office share in addition to the director and producer's salary, and has the final editing rights and the final decision-making power in the selection of actors.

It is hard to imagine that one of the Big Six Hollywood companies like Warner would sign such a contract.

But at this juncture, Sun Yi has become Warner's only choice.

It’s not like they haven’t contacted other directors.

We dare not use those who are not famous, and we don’t accept those who are too famous.

As for those directors who are neither legitimate nor unscrupulous, none of them has the record like Sun Yi - he has been absolutely profitable since his debut.

And with the added bonus of the Chinese film market, Warner ultimately had to choose Sun Yi.

The project has been signed, and all that remains is the selection of the actors.

Needless to say, the heroine is definitely his wife, and the character of the female warrior in the script is also very suitable for Liu Yifei.

Sun Yi even thought about fine-tuning the script to give his wife more roles and highlight her performance in the movie.

The problem now is the male lead. Sun Yi first called Robert Downey Jr. and also made an appointment with his agent.

After reading the script, Robert Jr. was very interested, but unfortunately his schedule was not suitable.

He is still in the crew of "The Avengers", and after filming this one, there will be another one, "Iron Man 3", with only one month of break in between.

Although he clearly stated that he could give this month's rest time to Sun Yi, Sun Yi said no.

This film cannot be finished in a month.

Sun Yi contacted Johnny Depp again. Johnny Depp was very considerate and made an appointment to meet with Sun Yi. However, he really had no interest in the script and politely declined Sun Yi's offer.

There’s no way, I think Tom Cruise is the only one left.

The failure of this movie made Sun Yi hesitate.

He began to analyze.

Tom Cruise became extremely popular at the beginning of this year. Mission: Impossible 4 just ended its run a month ago and has grossed $6.9 million, basically locking in a spot in the top ten list of the year.

But why did "Edge of Tomorrow", which was released two years later, fail miserably?

While Sun Yi was sending the script to Tom Cruise, he also asked John about Tom Cruise's recent situation.

I heard that he seems to be working on a movie called "Jack the Robber" and in addition to being the male lead, he will also be the producer.

This is also a bad movie, and his next film "Oblivion" also suffered huge losses.

Sun Yi thinks that Tom Cruise’s choice of these two films was problematic.

Hey, two bad movies in a row!!
Sun Yi suddenly understood why "Edge of Tomorrow" also failed miserably two years later.
