On the official website of Black Pearl, Li Xiaole revealed his new film plan: "The Emei Film and Television Base has been successfully completed, and the filming of "The Legend of the Great Sage" is about to start, and I will play the male and female protagonists, Sun Wukong and Zixia Fairy with my wife Ha Ji Won...... The movie is about to be released at the end of the year. ”

For a while, the global entertainment media was boiling again~! "The King of World Cinema Reveals New Film Plans...... Li Xiaole and his wife will play the male and female protagonists of "The Legend of the Great Sage". ”

"Li Jesus' new film is coming~! After becoming the king in the summer file, he is ready to set off a movie storm in the summer file~! AOL, Yahoo Entertainment and many other online media reported the news as soon as possible.

Before the news was in an uproar, on the other hand, Ha Ji Won also left a message on his Facebook to confirm his words, she wrote: "It's a great honor to work with director Li Xiaole again, this is an exciting moment, this is a dream we had when we were students, that is, to partner as the hero and heroine in a movie, thank you for having such a valuable opportunity, and ~~ Also congratulate my friend Scarlett on the global box office of "The Avengers" exceeded $1 billion ~~"

There was an uproar after this news spread, although the public has long been accustomed to Li Xiaole's high-speed and high production, but is it too hasty to launch a new film 4 months after "Slam Dunk"? If it's a low-budget romance or comedy, it's understandable, but isn't the news sent out before "The Legend of the Great Sage" an oriental magic theme? It's going to take a couple of years to make this type of concept, right?

Scarlett, who was attending a fan meeting event in New York, saw Ha Ji Won's message on her mobile phone, and couldn't help but bite her lower lip and hummed: "It seems that this guy really wants to compete with me, congratulations on me on the Internet......" Thinking of this, she immediately called Lei Ting.

"Thunder...... You tell Li that he is crazy to stop accompanying her wife, so why do you have to share the victory with me in the same year? It's better to make this movie well, isn't it nonsense to release it in such a short time? Let's let Ha Ji Won be willing to gamble and lose. ”

Lei Ting frowned slightly when she heard this, and asked directly: "Why don't you call Li Xiaole directly?" ”

"I'd like to...... But there is no way, I called Ha Ji Won to pick it up...... These two are tired of being together 24 hours a day. Scarlett sighed and said, "If you really can't do it, the bet won't count, don't treat the movie as a child's play." ”

"It's because you're too careful, Li Xiaole won't come nonsense." Lei Ting lit a cigarette and smiled coldly: "You are betting on the box office, then I really think you can't win." ”

"How is that possible? My "Avengers" took a billion ...... Even if it's Lee's movie, it's not realistic to win us if it's made in such a hurry, right? Scarlett said disapprovingly, although Li Xiaole is very powerful, but movies have the rules of movies.

"We'll see what happens at the end of that year." Lei Ting hung up the phone coolly after speaking, causing Scarlett to complain in dismay, "Alas...... Aren't these people crazy......

Where does Scarlett know, the reason why Lei Ting dares to say this is because she watched Li Xiaole come all the way, only she knows best, this "The Legend of the Great Sage" is Li Xiaole's final dream in the movie, he has been preparing for this film since he was in China, and when he left China, he began to make the image plan of the Heavenly Palace, and the concept painting does not know how much he secretly painted, from then to now 4 years, he has been perfecting the various preparations for "The Legend of the Great Sage".

Filming "Life Remote Control" has accumulated contacts and strength, filming "The Walking Dead" has mastered the best makeup technology, filming "Iron Man" experimented with how to shoot large-scale fights, the understanding of traditional culture at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, the accumulation of experience in 3D fighting in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the rapid development of motion capture technology on "Slam Dunk", all of which are preparing for "The Legend of the Great Sage".

Lei Ting knew very well in her heart that "The Legend of the Great Sage" was definitely not a movie that was rushed into battle in 4 months, but a painstaking work prepared by Li Xiaole throughout his entire directorial career, so Scarlett was decided.

At the same time, perhaps capturing the worldwide movie frenzy set off by Li Xiaole, Twentieth Century Fox issued a statement on its official website the next day, announcing that James Cameron's ten-year masterpiece "Avatar" is also confirmed to be released on the Christmas schedule, and a day later, Warner announced without showing weakness: "Nolan's "Inception" will be released during Christmas 2009."

"It seems that Li Xiaole has really triggered a battle of the kings of world movies this time." The report on Rotten Tomatoes said so, because more than one film critic is looking forward to the Christmas schedule at the end of the year, and the summer file that has just ended is indeed very thrilling, but it is not the most heavyweight showdown, and the big victory of the two films of Black Pearl Company makes everyone feel that the gap between other opponents is too big.

Li Xiaole is the king of world cinema? Although many media call it so, most film critics in North America don't see it that way, the reason is very simple, in terms of single-film box office, Li Xiaole has not surpassed James Cameron's "Titanic" $1.8354 billion legend, and the total box office Li Xiaole's $3 billion figure is still far from Spielberg's nearly 8 billion.

What's more, this is all under the condition that inflation is not counted, otherwise films such as "Jaws" and "Gone with the Wind" can kill "Slam Dunk" in seconds...... And Li Xiaole hasn't even won an Oscar for Best Picture, why is he called the king of world cinema?

Back then, James Cameron, who has always been arrogant, scoffed at the media, the so-called "king of world movies", in an interview, according to his words: "If you calculate according to the real actual box office of inflation, "Titanic" is far inferior to "Star Wars", and George Luca is still in front of me, how can I be the king of world movies?" ”

Although there is no fixed standard for who is the king of world cinema, all film critics now agree that there is now a rare opportunity to prove to everyone who is truly worthy of this title.

Because in this year's Christmas schedule, the world's No. 1 single-film box office director James Cameron ("Titanic" $1,835.4 million), the second and third director Li Xiaole ("Slam Dunk" $1,245.36 million, "Life of Pi" $1,112.87 million). and fourth-ranked Christopher Nolan ("The Dark Knight" $1,097.53 million), will launch his new film at the same time~! Fair competition on the same time and space, on the same stage!

The film kings from the United States, the United Kingdom, and China will come up with their own works and have a showdown of the century under the witness of hundreds of millions of fans.

But now the problem is, although the cast of "Avatar" is not strong, according to James Cameron's ability to sharpen a sword for ten years, the effect must be amazing, and "Inception" is a script written by Nolan since he was a child, and many filmmakers have seen it amazingly.

And what kind of story is Li Xiaole's "The Legend of the Great Sage", it is completely blank for Western audiences...... What's more, it is Li Xiaole and the couple starring... You must know that although the combination of Li Xiaole and Ha Ji Won was widely praised when "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was released, their qualifications are still blank in global films.

"Oh my God, what kind of story is "The Legend of the Great Sage", Li Xiaole is going to star in it, it's really surprising?" Benny Cook, a fan who came to Alaska, had no idea what was going on.

"Isn't this a joke, Li Xiaole took out an oriental fantasy to fight against "Avatar" and "Inception"? It's just too risky! Andy Cross of New York expressed his concern on Black Pearl's website.

Li Xiaole's fans have this worry, although they are very eager to see Director Li Da's new work as soon as possible, but they also hope that Li Xiaole can maintain the current momentum of "Slam Dunk", they all know that there has never been a director in the world who has made two classic movies in one year......

If Li Xiaole is anxious to share the victory with James Cameron and Nolan, then this decision is obviously too hasty.

As soon as the news of this "Battle of the Three Kings" came out, the chain reaction from all walks of life was also huge, and the entire movie world was in chaos! Far from being the only media fans in a hurry, other film companies have also begun to readjust their strategies, if Li Xiaole's new work is to be released on the Christmas schedule, then everyone can still say that it will be wet, but now the world's three highest-grossing directors are gathered in the same month, which means that there is no box office space at all......

The Christmas file is not a summer file, it can't accommodate so many commercial blockbusters, and all film companies have hurried to re-evaluate it, and no one wants to become bleak cannon fodder in a happy Christmas!

The agents and actors are also in a mess, why is Li Xiaole going to start filming a new film so soon! , suddenly it's a new film!! The hero and heroine are suddenly gone, are there any other characters!?

The new film of the director, who dominated the world in the summer, immediately detonated the actor circles around the world as soon as the news came out.

"You must get a role this time, otherwise you will just get out~" Vin Diesel gave a death order to his agent, and Matt Damon, Bruce Willie and others did the same.

When these hard-core male stars learned that it was an oriental fantasy movie with many action plots, they all recommended themselves, even if they had to wear heavy makeup, and even if they couldn't see their faces with motion capture, they all wanted to show their faces in this film.

And the same actress is not idle, Anne Hathaway, Alexis Bledel, Emma Roberts and other three generations of old, middle-aged and young people have also asked brokers to contact Black Pearl to fight for an important role.

This is Jesus' annual drama! As long as he can get an important role, who cares if he is the protagonist or not? You must know that in "The Lord of the Rings", which is also an epic magic film, the red and purple are all supporting characters like Gandalf, Aragorn, and the Elven Prince.

In this kind of big drama, often a performance with a few flashes of light will make the actor's name go down in history and explode in popularity.

And in this magic movie, many characters are gods and monsters of different forms, and many actors who do not need to be white or Asian do not need to be distinguished, so actors around the world, whether they are famous or unfamous, everyone hopes that Li Xiaole will throw that lucky olive branch to himself......
