Chapter 78: The lawsuit of the martial arts drama has not been settled yet. Maoye saw it...
The lawsuit was not yet concluded when Maoye saw the fire in the backyard. He was instantly furious and held a press conference, declaring that he would hold Mr. Li accountable for his legal responsibilities.
At the same time, they believed that Li Sheng's behavior was a betrayal, not only a betrayal to Maoye, they suspected that Li Sheng had already had connections with the inland area.
I think the society still values the code of conduct, but Mr. Li has no code of conduct at all. He betrays people without hesitation. He has poor character. People with such poor character will surely produce bad works too.
Li Daohua laughed. The president of Maoye had already betrayed his old employer and set up his own company to compete with his old employer. Now he was talking about the code of conduct in the underworld again. This was not how double standards were practiced.
She also said the same thing during the interview. The relationship between employees and companies is only one of employment and employment. As long as there is no violation of the law or crime, it is normal for employees to want to change jobs.
You can't expect employees to be loyal even if you don't treat them well. You run a company, not a slave farm.
Maoye understood now that this was aimed at them. A man from the inland wanted to fight them on the small piece of land of Hong Kong Island. Even a strong dragon would defeat a local snake.
After the interview, Mr. Li flew to America to prepare for "The Walking Dead III". Someone in Hong Kong was responsible for coordinating the remaining contract matters with Maoye, such as liquidated damages.
Once Li Sheng ran away, Maoye had no choice but to go and poach people from Yindu. But there were really no famous people in Yindu worth poaching. So every time they poached someone, they had to train them themselves.
Even if we recruit people with potential, it feels like a complete loss.
Not to mention, Yindu now has an inland exchange group joining, and its strength is visibly increasing, so many actors want to wait and see.
This time, Li Sheng is not the only one starring in "The Walking Dead 3". Li Daohua also selected a female actress from Yindu to participate in the film. The market and box office of "The Walking Dead" are enviable.
The heroine also went from being an unknown little actress to winning numerous awards, and her pay and fame continued to increase.
In order to snipe Yindu, Maoye took out his best martial arts film.
It doesn't matter if Mr. Li goes to America. They just signed a new guy two years ago who is just as capable. They can promote him and let Yindu and Mr. Li see that they have accomplished nothing after leaving Maoye.
They just want to see that Yang Yuhuan is about to end. They start filming now, and by the time it is released, the replay of Yang Yuhuan will probably have come to an end.
Of course, he cannot lose verbally, so he said that his drama will be the pinnacle of martial arts dramas. In order to become the king of dramas and martial arts dramas, one has to look at Hong Kong.
What this means is that if Li Sheng runs away and goes to Yindu, he might be able to achieve success by relying on an inland writer like Li Daohua, but he is definitely not as good as them in terms of martial arts dramas.
Martial arts dramas require real skills. Every actor involved in the fighting scenes, even if they have no martial arts skills, must at least be willing to endure hardships and work hard to practice the moves taught by the martial arts instructor, no matter how difficult they are.
The moves designed by the martial arts director are at least smooth and don't look out of place.
You can't think of yourself as a master just because you don't want to put in the effort and simply perform a few moves. That's not martial arts, that's fantasy.
In fact, there are many martial arts masters in the inland. Not to mention, even the mythological "Journey to the West" has very exciting fighting scenes.
Not to mention the "Shaolin Temple" from two years ago, which basically featured actors from mainland China.
However, domestic film and television studios in this era did not have sufficient equipment and funds. Even filming four great classics such as "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West" was stretched to the limit.
After hearing what Maoye said, Li Daohua suddenly thought that she could also invest in shooting a martial arts drama.
The market for martial arts dramas has been established, and now is the time to reap the market. In another ten years, it will be time to switch to other dramas.
If she invests in a filming, she has the final say over the script and actors, without being restricted by others.
She hasn't decided what to shoot yet, but she has already thought of the actors. There are only a few actors who are good at martial arts, and she can also recruit more from martial arts teams in various places.
The martial arts team and dance team do not have to put too much effort in giving instructions because the martial arts directors already have a certain level of skills and their body coordination is beyond doubt.
After Mr. Li arrived in America, Ian's company took him in and arranged for Mr. Li to join the crew and be on standby.
Before Mr. Li was in America, Maoye organized the parties himself, paid for them himself, wrote the scripts himself or bought them, and hired other crew members as well.
In short, it's all about spending money to help Mr. Li make a name for himself in America.
The advantage of this is that it ensures that Mr. Li is the absolute protagonist and not just a foil for others.
In the crew of "The Walking Dead", Li Sheng is not the protagonist, but only an important supporting role in the third part. Another actor played by Yindu is his wife in the play.
The two were met by the protagonist on the road while they were running for their lives with a three-year-old child they had picked up.
The child couldn't run fast, so someone had to carry him. The two of them took turns carrying the child.
Because of this, they did not join other teams. Even if the children were well-behaved and did not cry or make a fuss, many teams were unwilling to take on such a burden.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, when human nature had not yet been completely wiped out, many teams were willing to bring their children along.
By the time the third part was released, it had been more than a year since the apocalypse. It was clear that the apocalypse would not end, life was becoming more and more difficult, and no one wanted to be burdened.
In addition, they had seen cannibals on their way to escape, so they were even more wary of other teams.
The reason why such a combination can live so well is because the couple both know martial arts. After meeting them, the heroine will learn martial arts systematically from them.
Mr. Li was very satisfied with this role. As soon as he arrived at the crew, he began to get into the role. Every day he thought about how to make this role outstanding and eye-catching.
"The limbs of these zombies are different from those of normal people, so when you fight them, you need to make adjustments, like this..."
Mr. Li explained his ideas to the director. He explained so much because he was worried that the director would not understand and thus disagree with his ideas.
It's not like he hasn't encountered this kind of thing before. Even when he brought money into the crew before, he was still forced by the American director to act in the American way.
"OK, Li, I understand. You are a professional in Kung Fu, and what I want is good pictures." The director pointed to the martial arts team next to him. The martial arts team was found by Li Daohua.
From the first film, the quick zombie tips that Li Daohua wrote for the director completely conquered the director.
So when Li Daohua assigned a martial arts director to the crew, he did not object. As it turned out, a martial arts director was indeed needed. With the addition of a martial arts director, the zombies became more lifelike and the protagonists’ fighting styles looked more beautiful.
That's why when Mr. Li raised these issues, the director felt confident in letting him communicate with the martial arts director.
Of course, Mr. Li also prefers to deal with martial arts directors. Both sides know how to fight, and it is faster to get started directly on some things that are difficult to explain.
This time when he joined the crew, Li Sheng felt the most comfortable in the America crew.
He was still thinking that after just one year since he last came to America, the people there had become so easy to talk to and so respectful.
It was not until he saw Chinese actors being blocked and harassed when auditioning for supporting roles that he realized it was not because the people of America had changed or their status had risen.
It is only because he was forced in by Li Daohua, and his role is rather special, that he has his current status.
Although both of their roles are supporting roles, judging from the third part alone, these supporting roles have as much screen time as the main characters.
This character is also a positive one.
Another important reason why Maoye chose to invest his own money to let him play the leading role is that if he auditioned himself, he could only play villain roles or clowns in many American movies.
It is difficult to stand out in such a role, and it may even tarnish one's own image.
After acting so many times, you will be stereotyped. It becomes difficult to transform yourself into a leading role or a positive character.
Mr. Li knows this best, as there are many actors in Hong Kong who want to transform themselves.
While they were filming, Mr. Li and his friend suddenly received a notice from Ian, asking him to go with them to pick up Li Daohua the next day as Li Daohua was coming to America.
"Isn't she in Hong Kong Island for cultural exchange?"
"Yes, but she said she wanted to come over to watch the Olympics."
Mr. Li knew that this year's Olympics would be held in America, but the crew was just filming there and he didn't have time to go there, so he could watch it on TV.
The house Ian prepared for him had a TV, a color one, but he seldom watched it. He would come to the crew every day, whether he had a role to play that day or not.
Li Daohua came to America with Ouyang. This year, the country allowed private individuals to establish companies, and Ouyang Yuan and his team established a transportation and logistics company as soon as possible.
Li Daohua is the major shareholder. After all, for such a long time, Li Daohua has been the one who has paid the bulk of the company's expenses. Excluding the drivers' salaries, the company does not have much liquid capital.
The two of them came to America with a mission. Li Daohua knew that this year, the country would win its first Olympic gold medal.
This gold medal is of great significance to the country. If Ouyang Yuan’s company wants to become famous, it must take advantage of this opportunity.
They didn't just come as two people, they also brought a few company employees to help move things.
These things are prepared to sponsor Olympic champions, and when they win the awards, they can naturally promote the company.
In addition to money, the most important thing about sponsorship is clothes with the company name on them. The name of Yuanfang Logistics is big on the clothes, and everyone can see it as long as they go on stage.
She doesn't just sponsor the champions, she plans to sponsor all the teams participating in the Olympics. She knows that it is not easy for these people to come here to participate in the Olympics.
The country doesn't have much money, so they can only work hard. If they had sponsorship, their lives would be a little better and not so hard.
It is true that there is selfishness, but it is not all selfish.
Ian said he wanted to pick up Li Daohua, so of course Li was willing. He listened to Li Daohua and left Hong Kong Island. It was she who had to face Maoye directly.
It is true that she is a member of a cultural exchange group from the mainland, and Maoye may not be afraid. They are used to lawlessness in Hong Kong Island, so what if she loses her mind?
Now that Li Daohua can come to America safely, it seems that Maoye has not lost his mind.
