China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 608 A very correct movie
The national teacher said that Huana would help Li Yu win the award, and Li Yu had to admit that.

The movie won an award, and they are the beneficiaries, and their interests are consistent with Li Yu's.

But it is hard to say whether their efforts are useful.

Anyway, Li Yu personally doesn't have too high expectations.

"I won't just make 'Aquaman' as my movie in Hollywood. It doesn't matter whether 'Aquaman' wins any awards or not. I will have new movies in the future," Li Yu said nonchalantly.

"That's true. 'Aquaman' is a very good start. This movie is enough for you to gain a foothold in Hollywood." The national master said with emotion.

"Aquaman" has performed so well in the domestic market that it is estimated that it will have no problem making over 20 billion, and 25 billion is not out of the question.

The national teacher has seen this movie, and his personal opinion is that it is a very clichéd Hollywood-style superhero movie.

Not many Chinese elements were implanted just because the director was Li Yu.

Therefore, he inferred that the film would likely perform well overseas.

If the film can earn around 4 million Euros in China, it is very likely that the global box office will exceed 10 billion Euros.

This is the real success of both Huami and Xiaomi, and a true global hit.

"The future belongs to you young people. This is absolutely true. People like us are old." The national teacher sighed.

At this time, Li Yu suddenly thought of an idea.

He then asked, "Director Zhang, do you really want to win an Oscar that much?"

"Of course I want to. If I didn't want to, how could I have done it nine times in a row?" The national teacher was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"If you really want to, I can help you." Li Yu suddenly came up with a bold idea.

They in Hollywood can make some movies like "Shang-Chi" to annoy the Chinese.

It's reasonable, right? Li Yu made a movie to disgust the Oscar judges and make them feel uncomfortable as well.
Aren't they biased against regions other than North America and Europe?
Okay, Li Yu will play zz correctly with them.

Li Yu remembers that in 19 a movie called "Green Book" won the Oscar for Best Picture.

Objectively speaking, the script of this movie is excellent, but not good enough to win the Best Picture award.

This is a very good feature film.

Its competitors in the same year, "Roma", "The Favourite" and "Vice President", are no worse than "Green Book".

"Green Book" deserves the Best Screenplay award.

But it won the Best Picture award together, so it is absolutely impossible to say that zzcorrection did not contribute to it.

Li Yugang was just thinking about letting the national master shoot the movie "Green Book" and then submit it to the Oscars.

When these extremely correct elements of black and race are put together, I guess even the Oscar judges would be confused.

After seeing a movie like this, would they dare not even give the national master a nomination as they did before?
If they dare not give it, not only domestic netizens will speak up for the national teacher, but many groups of people in the United States will also greet Oscar warmly.

This is the power of being right.

In Hollywood, this phenomenon will become more and more serious, and in a few years, many of their movies will become unwatchable.

They knew that Snow White's skin must be as white as snow and very beautiful, but in order to be correct, they had to choose one with dark skin.

If people with dark skin are not cast, people from those groups will boycott the film.

As I said, novels need logic, but reality really doesn't.

After hearing what Li Yu said, the national teacher became energetic. When he was told that he could strive for the Oscar again, he immediately stopped being sleepy.

"Director Li, you are kidding me, right? You said yourself that it is very difficult to win an Oscar. How can you be 100% sure?" The national master was very surprised and didn't dare to believe what Li Yu said.

That is to say, the person who said those words just now was Li Yu, which is why he asked back.

If it was someone else who said he could help him win an Oscar, his first reaction would definitely be that the other person was making fun of him, and then he would just hang up the phone without even paying any attention to the other person.

"I am really 100% sure. Let's put it this way, come back to me in a few days and I will show you a script." Li Yu replied.

The Imperial Master was still in a confused state, but Li Yu had already unilaterally finalized the matter and helped the Imperial Master make the decision.

After half a minute, the Imperial Master came back to his senses: "I don't think I agreed to him just now?"

Indeed, no, but Li Yu said that he could get the Oscar he had always dreamed of, which really made him excited.

He knew Li Yu's character.

Li Yu is still very reliable.

If Li Yu's desire for control was not too strong and he was not allowed to micro-manage, he would have asked Li Yu to collaborate on "Fengshen".

About four days later, the box office of "Aquaman" exceeded 10 billion in the mainland, and the national master paid a visit to Hualiu Company.

"Congratulations, Director Li. The box office of Aquaman has exceeded 10 billion. 20 billion is just around the corner." The national master said politely.

"It's still a little bit different from your Investiture of the Gods. Stop praising me and take a look at the script I wrote these days." Li Yu moved the script of Green Book in front of the national teacher and asked his assistant to make him a cup of hot tea.

The national teacher's attention was attracted by the script in front of him.

Is this what Li Yu said could help him win an Oscar?
He has always recognized Li Yu's screenwriting skills.

As soon as he picked up the cup of hot tea, he put it down without even taking a sip. He was more interested in the script.

He wanted to see what kind of script this was.

The first page of the script has the words "Green Book" written on it. You can tell without asking that this is the name of the script.

Next is a brief introduction of Tony, a lazy and idle white gangster. For some reasons, the place where he works needs to close for a while, but his landlord will not allow him to default on the rent for several months.

So he needs to find a part-time job to fill the gap of these months.

At this time, a black pianist named Tang Xueli offered to hire Tony and let Tony accompany him south for an eight-week tour.

In the background of the story, discrimination against blacks in the South is very serious, and Tony serves as Tang Xueli's driver and bodyguard.

During the eight weeks of touring the south, Tony witnessed the unfair treatment that Tang Xueli suffered in the South, and he hated racial discrimination.

A brief introduction to the story made the national teacher feel a breath of correctness.

Really, that’s so true.

What’s even more rare is that this story is not just correct. Even if the correct parts are removed, it can still be an excellent story.

The national master was impressed immediately after reading the script.

"Director Li, it seems that you have been in the United States for some time and have a deep understanding of the situation there. The story you wrote is really great. I think it has a chance to win an Oscar for Best Screenplay." The national master's eyes lit up. He was sure that Li Yu was not fooling him.

With an excellent script and the right elements, it really has a chance of winning an Oscar.
