Chapter 497: I'm Not the God of Medicine
The premiere of "The Great Wall".
The place was so crowded with people including Hollywood media, movie stars and actors in the industry, and domestic media that it was almost unrecognizable.
Liu Hewei and Gao Xinxin met here.
The powerful TV King and the popular Three Kingdoms director, they all accepted the invitation from the Beijing circle.
As a moviegoer here, I am also attracting a lot of attention. However, there are too many seniors and big names invited by the Beijing circle this time. Even if it is the recently popular TV King and the director of the New Three Kingdoms, the attention they receive is still slightly second-tier.
So much so that they could chat about some things.
Gao Xinxin is not surprised, as he has a lot of entanglements with the Beijing and CCTV circles. The New Three Kingdoms used almost half of the actors and resources from the Beijing circle, but Liu Hewei His ties with the Beijing circle are not that deep, or even non-existent.
In this "taking sides" behavior, he could have stayed out of it just like Chen Jianbo.
"What I'm doing, how should I put it, is not really on the side of the Beijing circle."
Liu Hewei paused and said, "The leading actress Jing Tian is my niece."
"Oh" Gao Xinxin didn't expect there was such a relationship.
"Besides, Director Gao, you and I are quite familiar with each other. There are some things I can tell you. I envy Li Yun's talent and his acting skills. I deeply know from my collaboration with him on "The Three-Body Problem" that his potential is far above mine."
"When I was standing on the Golden Eagle Awards stage, when he was in front of me, do you know what I felt? Yes, inferiority complex."
Gao Xinxin didn't say anything.
Because Li Yun's role as Kong Ming promoted his acting skills, he was awarded the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor Liu Hewei.
Gratitude, inferiority, envy, and jealousy.
These are what drove Liu Hewei and made him stand here.
Gao Xinxin understands the desperation and distance between such talents.
On the other hand, Wang Su, a big shot in the Beijing circle, also seemed to have noticed Liu Hewei.
Smart choice.
It is very difficult for people to betray their own class.
No matter how much they admire and recognize Li Yun's talent, he is just a young man. He represents the "new wave" rather than the old wave like them.
There are conflicts between interests.
However, just when he wanted to chat with Liu Hewei, he left early.
He did not attend the entire premiere, but just chatted with his niece and left quietly.
He left gracefully and decisively.
It was not in the public eye, just like he entered quietly and left quietly.
It is difficult for people to betray their own class.
But it's also hard to betray your own emotions.
Wang Su was a little surprised and went to tell Lu Haishi about it.
Lu Haishi disagrees.
"It's just Liu Hewei who left, an ordinary TV King, a pure actor, there's no need to care so much about his stay or departure"
Almost all the performers at the premiere of "The Great Wall" were pillars of the industry, veteran actors, and middle-class actors, almost half of the entire Chinese entertainment industry.
In this half of the country.
A small TV King, so what? Lv Haishi also heard the news and knew who went to the premiere of "Dying to Survive", mostly young actors, young media, and young companies.
They are all 'back waves'
Even the leaders of the Shanghai circle chose to go and watch the movie "Dying to Survive".
But so what?
Our empire in the Beijing circle remains stable and still stands firm.
With the support of Hollywood, this regime can even be permanently secure and stand firm forever.
"The righteous have many supporters, while the unrighteous have few. Now most of the old guys in the circle are on our side."
Lu Haishi seemed a little unhappy with Wang Su's worries.
But Wang Su said.
Didn’t you notice that there’s an important person who hasn’t come yet?
Who? Lili Liu. The person who represents the import interests of Hollywood.
But absent here.
Where is she? At this moment, Lu Haishi's phone rang, and he was already feeling annoyed.
But when I heard the phone call.
The whole person was in shock.
Liu Lili was indeed in the capital, but the place where she appeared was not the Great Wall.
But on the side where I am not the God of Medicine.
She brought two people with her.
One is Cheng Shilong and the other is Stephen Chow.
Legends, in the Chinese entertainment and film and television circles, there are such two people, one is Stephen Chow and the other is Jacky Cheung, they created the legend of Chinese-speaking actors.
Even on the international stage, Cheng Shilong's influence is unmatched, and he has the same level of influence in Asia and around the world.
He has influenced many cultural works, and there is even an American cartoon called The Adventures of Incredibles, which uses his name as the protagonist.
He is such a legendary figure.
A legendary figure who could even be described as great.
He and Stephen Chow appeared at the premiere of "Dying to Survive".
With Liu Lili.
The most surprised person here was Liu Qianqian. She actually didn't expect that her mother would appear in this place.
The Great Wall is her seed work.
"Are you surprised?"
“A little bit.”
"Don't be surprised. My position is only on the side of art. If you can produce a work that I feel is excellent, then I will stand with you."
Liu Lili stood in front of Li Yun and tried her best to provide a fair environment within her ability.
Although there was no change in the box office tricks, for the industry, this behavior of the Beijing circle is still considered a trick.
Fair and just.
Can you beat the Sino-US co-production? In the most fair environment possible.
Can this be done?
At this time, Liu Lili came and sat next to Liu Qianqian.
"It all depends on whether the man you secretly support and to whom you even promise to spend the rest of your life in your dreams is worthy of your pride."
Liu Qianqian's pretty face flushed.
Will I still talk like this in my sleep?
This is not me, this is definitely not me! But she is still very grateful to her mother for supporting Li Ge.
Even Stephen Chow and Cheng Shilong were moved.
"I will definitely let Brother Li thank you!"
"There's no need to say thank you, and it's not just my personal feelings."
"This time, Master Xing and Brother Long told me clearly that even if I didn't go, he would still choose to come to the mainland to watch the premiere of Li Yun's movie."
In a trance.
Li Yun also has the ability to attract big names of this level.
The arrival of Cheng Shilong and Zhou Xingxing caused some noise and commotion at the scene, and some people even shouted out excitedly.
Because they are both legends.
A legend among legends.
"I won't show you any mercy. I'm going to watch the premiere of The Great Wall. I can tell which of the two movies is better."
"We must not let Brother Long down." Li Yun said frankly.
At this moment, Zhou Xingxing was looking at Li Yun with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Just see what stage the seeds that were sown will take root and sprout now, and see how much progress this part can make compared to your furnace, which is not the Medicine God."
Zhou Xingxing also grinned. He had also watched Li Yun’s previous film, The Crucible, and could clearly feel some awkward and unfamiliar points.
Li Yun actually made all the mistakes that many novice directors make.
But Li Yun's advantage lies in his deep emotional expression, which penetrates deeply into his bones.
This is an enviable talent.
Stephen Chow has it, and so does Jacky Cheung. It is precisely because of this kind of talent that they have reached the pinnacle and the top.
Although emotional expression is the most important thing, there are still many factors that need to be supported.
In fact, he has read the script. From Zhou Xingxing's perspective, this is still the emotional expression that Li Yun is best at. As a person with rich experience in watching movies, he can see what Li Yun wants to do at a glance.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As he was good at using marginalized people to express emotions, he knew that the marginalized person Li Yun chose this time was a patient with a terminal illness.
Not to mention whether the actors can get into the role, the audience can also get into the role. This subject matter does not seem to be so popular. However, the Great Wall next door chose the most popular subject matter, the superhero style of shooting.
If it's the box office.
I am not the God of Medicine.
Will lose.
If a hero is judged by his box office success, Li Yun will lose.
At this time, the two of them also officially took their seats.
They are also the two biggest names in the film-watching group and enjoy a status of their own.
It is to reach the most suitable position among all the stars.
At this time, Li Yun also came to his position.
He was angry as he listened to the incompetent rage of the director's personality next to him.
At this time, Li Yun looked at the shadow next to him and said.
"Are you angry?"
"Why do so many people choose to trust your movies? Many people even give up their seemingly better futures." The director seemed a little puzzled: "For example, Wang Chuanjun, there are obviously better choices for him. If he chooses to enter the Beijing circle, it will be a safer choice for his acting career."
Many people choose to stand on Li Yun's side, whether they trust him or not, are optimistic about him or not, they choose to stand on Li Yun's side.
It doesn't seem like he trusts his work.
But someone who trusts Li Yun.
This is actually the most infuriating part.
Why do you?
Why do you get this trust?
This almost unconditional trust makes people jealous.
"How should I put it? If I say that everyone is here because they can see my passion for acting, do you believe it? Because at the end of this road, what I pursue is not a few pieces of silver, but the pinnacle of art, the ideals they once had, so I can get their unconditional trust."
"Do you believe this reason?"
Li Yun said it very clearly, and he also knew that this seemingly naive reason was not so easy to convince people.
Pursuing the ideal of art is the initial passion of every person entering the entertainment industry.
Does Li Yun have such a thing? Yes.
Even though it is a dark and twisted desire to pursue fame and fortune that will last forever, so what does it matter?
Does the pursuit of eternal fame, the pursuit of the highest peak, the pursuit of the end of fame and fortune conflict with the pinnacle of art ?
It’s just that I, Li Yun, pursue higher and greater desires, and I am not obsessed with the few pieces of silver in front of me.
Love fame and fortune.
It is also a kind of love.
Tell the world that I, Li Yun, existed.
It is also a declaration.
I don't have any big vision, but if I have to say something, if reaching the top requires crushing the Beijing circle and Hollywood, then I'll crush them.
Not for others, just for yourself.
Exercise your primitive desires.
At this time, Li Yunduan was sitting in his seat.
The movie officially begins.
"Dying to Survive" used the life and death of a group of terminally ill patients as the stage during its promotion and marketing phase.
The story told.
In this movie, Li Yun's name is Cheng Yong.
An unemployed, greasy and down-and-out middle-aged man.
When the image of Li Yun appeared.
The greasy feeling was overwhelming, with sloppy beard, messy hair, and greasy face. Even under the subtle lens, even the eye booger in the corner of the eye was captured.
It doesn't seem like deliberate processing.
It doesn't look like the effect of makeup, it's very simple, just the appearance of a greasy middle-aged man.
It's really greasy.
Be it the person or the place where he is, the Indian magic oil shop in the narrow and dim alley, the sloppy middle-aged man does not seem to be running the business very attentively.
Still playing Spider Solitaire on his old crappy computer.
"The landlord just asked me if you were there. He said your phone was turned off, and I said you didn't open the door today." Cheng Yong's good neighbor, as always, helped him hide the news in the store.
Cheng Yong thanked him. As for why he didn't answer the phone, it was of course because he couldn't pay the rent.
As a father, when his son wanted to buy sneakers, he even had to peel off the soles of his shoes to dig out the rotten money.
The clerk touched the money.
Oh my god, where does this smell come from?
Phew, the little guy laughed humorously.
At this time, Cheng Shilong was watching this humorous clip and glanced at Zhou Xingxing.
"A bit like you."
"It is a bit like me. You can even tell that he learned it from me." At this moment, Zhou Xingxing was looking at the big screen. This kind of nobody's teasing was indeed learned from him. However, Zhou Xingxing did not relax at this moment. Instead, he frowned inwardly.
People in this era are still learning from me.
It’s not impossible, but those who learn from me will live, but those who are like me may not . Just when he wanted to say this.
The script showed him what a sudden downturn looked like.
The first conflict broke out when his divorced wife wanted to immigrate with her children, and Cheng Yong, a ruffian and hot-tempered man, would definitely not let it happen.
Even if I can't give my child a good life, don't try to take my son away from me.
Violence.
Cheng Yong picked up a chair and smashed it at his ex-wife.
The scene was chaotic, but the ex-wife said.
"Let him hit you!"
"He beat me as many times as he got drunk."
This Cheng Yong is indeed not like the character portrayed by Stephen Chow.
Selfish, self-willed, violent and greasy, a puddle of mud. A person can be a small person, but he cannot be a bad person, and Cheng Yong is obviously hopeless.
And Cheng Yong, the protagonist, is a bad guy, a complete and utter bad guy.
