Chapter 1018: New Heat Created by a Slap
"How's it going lately?"

March was already more than halfway through, and Zhang Yi also called to say hello.

Li Mu leaned against the window, looking at Hangzhou at night, and said with a wry smile, "Brother, my head is about to explode. The opening ceremony is being revised every day, and the team has been having disagreements all the time. I am so exhausted."

"Normal." Zhang Yi smiled softly on the other end of the phone, "For a big project like the opening ceremony, it can't be decided until the last minute.

Do you think the Winter Olympics have never been revised? Three days before the opening ceremony, I was still revising it."

"Really?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows. "Can something like this happen to you?"

"Haha!" Zhang Yi laughed. "During large-scale events, everyone has to keep things stable while trying to put out fires behind the scenes. Let alone you. Even if I were to do it again, I would still fight to the last second."

“But remember, your core creativity cannot be shaken. No matter how many opinions there are from the outside world, you must stick to one direction and not be swayed.

Secondly, disputes within the team are inevitable, but as the chief director, you have to act as a ‘lubricant’ to allow everyone to turn different opinions into a strength, the last point.”

Zhang Yi then passed on his experience to Li Mu, but at the end, Zhang Yi paused and his tone became more serious.

"Remember, the opening ceremony is for the audience, not for experts. Don't let excessive artistic expression obscure emotions and resonance."

Li Mu listened quietly. These were the experiences of those who had been through it, so he had to learn from them. Excessive expansion would only lead people into the abyss.

"Brother, your words are like pearls of wisdom."

"It's OK as long as you listen to it." Zhang Yi chuckled when he heard it.

"The Asian Games is more free, and the theme is not so limited. You can let go and show what you are best at. Don't set limits for yourself."

"Okay!" Li Mu nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, if you need any help, feel free to contact me!"

"."

As the saying goes, one hero needs three helpers. Sometimes the usefulness of you helping me and me helping you is reflected in this.

Not only Zhang Yi, but also Fu Binxing from Huace called and asked Li Mu if he needed any help. After all, Huace was close and many things were easy to handle.

Li Mu has recently been either meeting with the team or reporting to his superiors on the progress of the current plan and implementation.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the end of March.

Although Li Mu has been filming in China for a long time in recent years and has no time to go to the United States to participate in the Oscars, every Oscar nomination list and awards ceremony will still attract much attention.

But this time the Oscars seem to be different.

At around 2022:3 am on March 28, 12, the enthusiasm for the Oscars suddenly became heated in the country.

It's not because a domestic film won an award, nor because a certain film made a breakthrough. After all, the Oscars have become more politically correct and conservative in recent years, and their influence has weakened compared to the past. The list of winners is pretty standard, with no surprise dark horses. It's almost consistent with the results predicted by the media before.

The cause was naturally that Will Smith went on stage and slapped Chris Rock.

Although ABC's live broadcast was urgently muted, the sound could be heard in broadcasts from other countries and the picture could not be muted. This picture immediately spread across the global Internet, and China was no exception.

This scene was bound to shock the world and become one of the most controversial moments in Oscar history. At this time, Li Mu and his group were having dinner, and for a moment everyone became lively.

"Oh my god, this is so exciting!"

"Awesome, Will Smith, damn, awesome!"

"What's going on? Will Smith Oscar practicing boxing?"

"."

Everyone immediately started talking and looking at the pictures on their phones.

In the video, Will Smith rushed onto the stage and gave Chris Rock a loud slap, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became awkward.
"Director Li?" Meng Ke, Gao Yan and others looked at Li Mu. After all, Li Mu was the one who was most familiar with Oscar.

"How would I know?" Li Mu smiled bitterly. "But I guess Chris Rock must have said something he shouldn't have said, and Will was probably so angry that he slapped him twice."

"Someone said that Chris Rock was joking on stage and teasing Will Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith's bald head, and Will Smith was so angry that he went on stage and slapped him."

“It’s fun, but it doesn’t feel good to end.”

“But this is a real man.”

At this time, the true version of Will Smith's slap naturally came out. After all, it was a live broadcast, not a recorded broadcast. Even if the sound at the back was muted, everyone was watching at the front.

The cause was that Rock was outspoken during the show and joked that Jada Pinkett Smith shaved her head to play in "G.I.G.", but in fact Jada shaved her head because of alopecia areata and she was deeply depressed because of it.

When Rock made fun of Jada for the second time, Will Smith couldn't help it.

This slap really created a new buzz about the Oscars. Ordinary people are far less interested in the Oscars than in this slap. The number of clicks in China is even on par with the popularity of Li Mu winning the Oscar.

Anyway, no one remembered who won the Best Picture, Best Director or Best Actress award. Instead, they remembered the slap in the face and the person who slapped it, Will Smith, who won this year's Best Actor award.

The liveliness on Weibo and major forums is comparable to that of festivals.

In the evening, Li Mu called Will Smith. It was already the morning of March 3th, US time.

The call was quickly connected, and Will Smith's voice came from the other end of the phone, a little hoarse, but felt very calm: "Hey, Li! Nice to hear from you, how are you doing recently?"

Li Mu smiled bitterly, "I'm fine, but Will, I saw the news!"

"How embarrassing!" Will Smith shrugged. "But I don't regret it. You know, Richard in King Richard is a staunch defender of the family. And if the target of the ridicule is Crystal, based on my understanding of you, I believe you will stop him as well."

Li Mu nodded without denying.

The two of them then changed the topic and talked about something else.

Just like that, Will Smith's controversy continues, with extremely complicated reactions, and of course, public controversy and negativity are inevitable.

It's true that this slap in the face to Oscar has brought him to a new high in popularity, but the image of this popularity is not very good.

The Oscar organizers and the Academy of Film naturally condemned Will Smith's behavior and banned him from participating in Oscar-related activities for ten years.
