Chapter 408: New Opportunities

I still know very well what my acting skills are, Director Li, this is really blinding. Liu Ruoyi said with some tears and laughter.

"It's normal for one person to look away, but it's not normal for a group of people to look away. Li Shaohong said seriously, "Last year, Annie, you won the Pegasus Award for Best Actress nomination, let's not talk about it, this year's Xiangjiang Little Golden Man Annie, you are not only the Best Supporting Actress, but also the Best Actress candidate, and one of the big favorites." ”

"As a worker in the industry, I don't think it's two important film awards in the Chinese entertainment industry that are blind, but Annie's performance in the film is really remarkable. ”

Li Shaohong said that the little golden man of Xiangjiang did announce at the end of February that Liu Ruoyi was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress award for her role as a psychiatrist in "Infernal Affairs", and was nominated for the Best Actress award for the protagonist of "Hell".

Liu Ruoyi heard Vivian mention it, but now her main interest has shifted, not obsessed with her career as an artist, so she heard that and she didn't take it to heart.

"But ,..." Liu Ruoyi didn't expect that she would perform under the guidance of Brother Tmy, and in the eyes of professionals like Li Shaohong, she had such a high evaluation, and Liu Ruoyi had always thought that she was actually an expression porter.

Perhaps, I underestimated my own strength a little?

Thinking of this, Liu Ruoyi smiled helplessly, and it was a little floating when she was praised by others!

It's not good, it's not good, it's going to be disorienting.

"Nothing, Annie, I have a lot of confidence in this play, if you can participate, that is the soul of this play, and at the same time it is the icing on the cake for this big play, after all, due to the younger role, now there are big actors in it, and you are really not as famous as Annie. With Annie joining, I also have the confidence to impact the box office of 100 million yuan and taste the taste of a 100 million yuan director. ”

Li Shaohong then said, and the last sentence revealed her true thoughts and ambitions.

In this era, those who can harvest a box office of more than 100 million are undoubtedly among the best directors, this is not the golden age of the rise of the mainland film market in the future, and blockbusters are embarrassed to say that they are successful when the box office is only one billion.

Now in a year, the total box office in the country is about one billion.

This market size is also the reason why Zhao Shaodong and Chu Luo's family are not very interested in the two of them in the entertainment industry, the pool is too small, no matter how much they toss, it is a business of hundreds of millions, which is naturally not a big business in the eyes of their family.

"Director Li, according to what you say, I'm embarrassed to postpone it any longer. Liu Ruoyi smiled bitterly, and heard the strong request of director Li Shaohong, although in terms of artists, Liu Ruoyi has no big ambitions, everything happens spontaneously by going all the way.

Even not long ago Xiangjiang Top Ten Golden Melody Awards, Liu Ruoyi finally got her wish and won the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards and the Most Popular Female Singer Award, Liu Ruoyi didn't feel much, with her two albums last year, the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards won two seats, and the Most Popular Female Singer Award is even more deserved, and since then she has entered the ranks of the real divas of Xiangjiang.

Li Shaohong strongly recommended Liu Ruoyi to come out and play the big movie "Meteor Garden", so she naturally took these factors into account.

Liu Ruoyi is not only famous and popular now, but the important thing is that she is too young and beautiful, and she will not be covered up at all among Sun Xiaoming, Lu Kun, Feng Ge and other handsome men at the god level, relatively speaking, whether it is Ah Joy or Ah Sha, it can never be compared with Liu Ruoyi in this regard.

"Annie, it's a must, this drama is a key project of our Aurora Culture, and I have a lot of pressure as a director, if I mess up, I'm sorry for the audience, I'm sorry for the company, and I also live up to everyone's trust in me. Li Shaohong saw that Liu Ruoyi was starting to be a little moved, and hurriedly increased her sales and said miserably.

Whether a director can step into the ranks of 100 million yuan box office is very different in the industry, why is Director Zhang so awesome in the film industry, in addition to winning awards, the most important reason is that the box office is good, most of the movies shot in the 90s have entered the top ten at the mainland box office, and many of them have directly entered the top three of the annual box office!

The box office guarantees Zhang Laomou, which is a well-known rumor on the rivers and lakes, all relying on Director Zhang's fame one after another. In the 90s, the domestic film market was just starting, and with a total box office of hundreds of millions, Director Zhang's films could take tens of millions! What kind of concept is this, according to the proportion of market share, this is almost an irreproducible miracle in the history of domestic films!

Li Shaohong is a person with artistic pursuits, she can not have a company, she does not need to occupy too many shares, but she wants to be famous! Although there is no chance for a film boss like Director Zhang to become a national teacher, if she can become a high-grossing film director and step into the ranks of top film directors, it will be of great significance to her.

"Okay, okay, Director Li, if I fail to act, don't blame me," Liu Ruoyi heard Li Shaohong say this, so she could only reluctantly agree. This year, her schedule is very free, and she currently has two film appointments, and the time is completely staggered, if Liu Ruoyi doesn't take working elsewhere as a thing.

However, as "Super Girl" gradually began to form its own style, the audition work has gradually entered the mature period recognized by Liu Ruoyi, although the outside world has been criticized, but at the national level, Liu Ruoyi has not found that there are heavyweight media criticism, and the rising ratings prove that the audience is not affected by the evaluation of the "brick family" at all.

Considering that there is a time lag in everyone's acceptance, Liu Ruoyi deliberately designed a long audition stage, and extended the registration deadline to a week before the end of the audition stage!

In other words, if someone sees the show "Super Girl" and feels that they are better than the people above, they have every chance to sign up for the audition and compete for the precious preliminary promotion card in each region!

Now the "Super Girl" preliminary promotion card is regarded as a supreme honor by music lovers, because there were not a few talent shows before, and there are almost no restrictions on registration like "Super Girl", as long as you are at least 18 years old, you can participate, which is a great opportunity for fans to win the lottery!

Anyway, after watching the "Super Girl" program, many people also have a new understanding of their own strength, especially those who are mixed in bars and K halls have come out and stepped onto the stage of "Super Girl" to show their style.

Although most of them will be ruthlessly eliminated, it is not surprising to everyone that for the huge team that has now signed up for more than 30,000 participants, it is the most natural thing to be eliminated.

It's just that in this way, the "Super Girl" program team has to adjust a lot of things, the original 5-minute audition time for each contestant has to be compressed to 3 minutes, not a special singer, and the judges will not chatter and comment now, but directly raise the card to pass, or eliminate!

However, these are not problems for Liu Ruoyi, but the show has begun to mature slowly, and there is no need to worry too much, such a large number of participating teams are simply unprecedented.

For the "Super Girl" program team, this is a great thing that is painful and happy, which means that new programs are edited out on the screen every day, according to so many contestants, it will take at least more than a month to complete the audition, not counting the endless stream of newcomers signing up to participate!

Liu Ruoyi can completely lose her hands on this aspect of things, and the next thing is the new form of variety show Liu Ruoyi needs to guide the planning according to some points in her memory, whether it is the entrepreneurship competition or "Super Girl", now Qionghai Satellite TV has made a name for herself among young people, especially young women, they have the "Meteor Garden" TV series to chase, and now there are "Super Girl" tomorrow's game tidbits, I heard that the next "Super Girl" Audience judges will also be introduced, so that the audience in front of the TV series can vote for their favorite contestants by phone or text message!

This completely different way of playing has fascinated many young TV viewers.

With such proud results, Liu Ruoyi will have no psychological pressure to let go.

Liu Ruoyi, who set aside time to return to the entertainment industry, seems to have nothing wrong with it, so Liu Ruoyi agreed, anyway, the two movies in Xiangjiang have always been fast-paced, two weeks long, and a few days of effort, and Liu Ruoyi is still very abundant in terms of time adjustment.

However, when Liu Ruoyi thought she was free, Caitlin and Liu Ruoyi's creative team finally reached an agreement on the content of the first English album, and now the American company has been established, and a top recording studio has been arranged to coordinate Liu Ruoyi to go to the United States to record the first version of the album.

Liu Ruoyi, who has already obtained the Xiangjiang ID card, is now very easy to go to the United States, and the main reason for switching the identity to Xiangjiang is that it is convenient to map out the outside, and in addition, it is obviously much more flexible than the mainland identity in terms of investment layout.

Waiting for Liu Ruoyi to take Vivian to land at New York's JFK Airport, this time there was Li Zihe to develop the international business of Aurora Culture in North America, and after leaving the airport, Li Zihe was waiting in the terminal early.

"Sister Annie, Vivian, you have worked hard all the way, tonight I will pick you up at the hotel, have a good rest, tomorrow we will ask Miss An Ruolin and Miss Caitlin to find a better hotel together, what do you think?" Li Zihe asked while driving after receiving Liu Ruoyi and his group of four.

"When we came to Mr. Li's territory, we obeyed Mr. Li's arrangement. Liu Ruoyi smiled. "How's it going, are you still used to staying in New York?"

"It's okay, there are a lot of things in the early stage, and there is nothing to get used to when you get busy, anyway, it's all work, and it's the same everywhere. Li Zihe smiled bitterly,

Now that everything has finally been straightened out, Aurora Entertainment Company in New York has also set up a shelf, recruited more than a dozen local employees, and started to run various business openings to prepare. ”

"Mr. Li has worked hard, look at your body has lost weight, it seems that you have suffered a lot here. Although work is important, and the body is even more expensive, Mr. Li still has to pay attention to his body. "Liu Ruoyi just saw that the plums and her body had almost lost weight when she was at the airport, and the plums that were originally slightly fat were almost invisible to her stomach now.

"Thank you Sister Annie for your concern, I don't have anything to do, mainly because I am not very comfortable with the diet, I am not used to eating this foreign fast food, many times I just have a glass of milk and a bread to deal with, I can't think of the meat that I can't lose in Xiangjiang, and I lost more than ten catties at once, which is an unexpected gain. ”

Li Zihe said with a smile.

"Three days after the studio appointment, Caitlin contacted one of the top recording studios and sound engineers in New York, and we recorded a song to try it out. Sister Annie, does this arrangement seem appropriate?"

"I have no problem, after I got the lyrics and songs, I practiced for some time in the early stage, and I felt that I was okay, of course, the final effect is still up to Caitlin, a professional music producer, to decide, I just follow your arrangement. Liu Ruoyi has always respected the opinions of experts in this regard, so she is very cooperative with Li Zihe's arrangement.

Li Zi and Liu Ruoyi are not dealing with each other for a day or two, of course, they know that Liu Ruoyi is a person, and they never have to worry about Liu Ruoyi in terms of work, for Liu Ruoyi, a young man in his early 20s, is so self-disciplined, Li Zihe often has an illusion, feeling that this is already a trait that only a seasoned veteran in the workplace has.

After the work was explained, Li Zihe began to chat with Liu Ruoyi about things in New York.

From customs and customs to the dynamics of American politics, what he has seen on Wall Street, etc., Li Zihe, who has studied various news and events in the United States in his spare time, has not been here for a long time, but he already knows all about them.

"In this year's midterm elections, I think the Republican Party has a great probability of winning, so that the Republican Party has control over Capitol Hill and the presidential palace, and Xiaobu has a chance to show his strength. Looking at the news reports, this Xiaobu seems to be very dissatisfied with Silly Damu, and has just sent the vice president to the Middle East to lobby Arab countries to support his blockade policy against Silly Damu. ”

Hearing Li Zihe's words, the phenomenon of Xiaobu gradually appeared in Liu Ruoyi's mind, but she always felt as if she had forgotten something. Speaking of which, neither Lao Bu nor Xiao Bu are as kind as their faces.

"Hearing that the Arab countries have basically rejected the Americans' proposals, and there are comments that Xiaobu is paving the way for the crackdown on stupid big wood, Wall Street has concluded that oil prices will rise in the future given the turmoil in the Middle East. ”

Hearing Li Zihe say this, Liu Ruoyi's mind suddenly lit up and remembered something. That is the Iraq war in his previous life, in fact, it has entered the preparation stage, although Liu Ruoyi can't remember exactly when it started, but listening to Li Zihe's words, it is estimated that it will not be far from the beginning.
