Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"It's a battle of challenge and defense!" The New York Times used this headline to write the beginning of today's front-page news.
"13 years ago, it took the king of the world a year to win the box office of 600 million in North America and 1.8 billion in the world, and no one has been able to break this record for many years. Now, however, it has suddenly become clear that the record does not seem so far away, and he is being challenged by a magical ghost. Faced with numbers that can no longer be advanced, the myth of "Titanic" suddenly becomes extremely fragile. So the 'King of the World' picked up a new movie, ready to set a new record again, to defend his throne as the 'King of the World', this is "Avatar"! A challenge of defense and sprint, a contest between the old and the new! ”
"Inception" collected $1.2 billion on the 17th! 383: It's a battle of challenge and defense, Avatar wins North America and loses overseas. Yahoo Entertainment reported on the topic, and the number of hits to the news continued to rise, with the article read: "Despite the strong popularity of Avatar in North America this week, the 2.6% drop is unprecedented." The untired table xiàn also makes people see the hope of a turnaround. But at the global box office this week, "Inception" will continue to lead the way, which is a foregone conclusion. ”
"How much can Li Donglai earn?" The British newspaper Le Monde attracted readers' attention with such an unconventional headline: "A movie collected 1.2 billion US dollars in 17 days, he personally occupies 75% of the share, and the most dazzling rich man in 09 is about to be born." It is surprising that he started from scratch and now has hundreds of millions of dollars, but he is only 23 years old. This is reminiscent of Zuckerberg, who holds the title of 'Gates No. 2'. Of course, compared to Zuckerberg's immensely rich net worth. Li Donglai is still far away, but they are equally young. The difference is that Zach got married early, and he has a pair of dead fish eyes, which is not related to handsomeness. This one is young and golden, and he is even more popular among thousands of girls. Now that he is rich, countless unmarried girls are eager to join him. It's as if he's become the 'best boyfriend'. Perhaps the future of Entertainment Media 383: This is a battle of challenge and defense, the long-term focus of the target, will be added forever. ”
The global entertainment media seems to be paying attention to this grand challenge.
But. In the minds of websites and media, this battle of "challenge and defense" is far from over.
With the announcement of the Golden Globe Award list, "Inception" and "Avatar", which have all been nominated for four awards. The war continues.
But it has also implemented Li Donglai's title of "ghost director", and the box office battle has continued to the awards ceremony, which will inevitably cause new stimuli to the market, attract more non-young audiences to watch, and the box office will also grow and rebound.
After lingering for two days, the girl who is new to menstruation is already a little bit of a marrow eater. The day of separation is coming, and it is even more tireless in taking. But after all, I still have to go, the regular second series of Girls' Generation [oh! It will be released in January next year, and if she doesn't go back, she probably won't be able to dance her new dance...... I have to go. ”
Seeing the girl's reluctant look, Li Donglai simply said: "If you don't want to go back, just stay, I'll raise you." "No, I've lived there for more than ten years, and I'm used to it." Lin Yun'er knew what he meant. refused: "And I won't do anything other than being a girl." ”
Li Donglai said helplessly: "Okay, call me when it's time." As he spoke, he took a key out of his pocket and handed it to her.
"What is this?" Yuna asked curiously.
Li Donglai smiled and said, "Our new wedding house is in Seoul. ”
"Ahh Yuna was immediately overjoyed and said, "Oppa, you have decided to put your new house in Seoul, great." So that we can see each other more often. Li Donglai patted her face and said, "Fool." This is not the house rented by the show, I bought it by someone. There are only two keys, and the house is in your name, so you can clean it up at your leisure when you get back. Furniture that doesn't suit you can also change it......"
Yun'a hesitated: "Oppa, why did you put the house in my name, you know, I don't want that." "I know, but I have to have the name of the head of the household, my name is too eye-catching. If you don't write your name, do you still write Kim Taeyeon? He teased the girl for telling everyone about everything. Yuna blushed, "Okay, I won't talk about it in the future." But after I'm gone, you can't find another woman. ”
Li Donglai agreed and said, "I'm not as idle as you, and I have a work arrangement these days." ”
Yuna let him go.
After sending the girl away, Li Dong came to see the empty house, and he didn't know what to do for a while. It's almost Christmas, and the streets are full of Christmas trees and lights. A heavy snowfall decorated this Hollywood with a full flavor of the New Year, but Li Donglai didn't feel it at all.
His trip today was originally to ask Robert Downey Jr. to talk about the movie "Due Date". Originally, there was no problem for Downey to join the movie, but the Phantom of Li Donglai is an independent film company, and Downey, who has developed to the point where he is today, also has his own team behind him. His wife is a well-known producer...... All in all, Downey will not be willing to work only as an actor for others, he wants to be involved, and his wife must become the producer of this film.
Faced with this kind of problem, Todd Phillips can't figure it out, so he can only push it to the Phantom Company.
And as the only big boss who can handle the phantom, Li Donglai happens to have time, so he can only negotiate it. He asked for Donnie's phone from An Shuzhen, and when he called, the other party's tone was puzzled, probably because he saw an unfamiliar number.
Li Dong reported his home, and the other party was slightly surprised...... I didn't expect it to be you, man, you did a great job, congratulations on getting nominated. "Thanks, sir, do you have time now, I want to treat you to a cup of coffee...... Something happened to ......" "Oh, that's a pity. "Li Donglai is not an idler, and he will go back to Asia after a while. Just as he was thinking about postponing his plan, a voice came from the other side again, and Downey said in his unique tone of voice in "Iron Man": "And I don't drink coffee either, man, if you don't mind a glass of wine, I think this is the right place." ”
Li Donglai was puzzled. "What, where are you?" he asked. ”
As he was talking, an unfamiliar voice came from the other side again, saying, "Hello, I'm Susan, Susan Downey." ”
"Hello, Lady Donnie. I know you. Are you together? It doesn't seem like the time for me to call. A few question marks appeared on Li Donglai's mind, and he didn't understand what he was doing.
"It's okay, we're talking about business. I'm representing Paramount right now, do you have time to stop over for a drink? ”
Li Donglai: "......"
When Li Donglai drove the latest model luxury sports car sent by Mercedes-Benz, his butt was followed by several paparazzi. All the way through the wind and snow, over the Hollywood Walk of Fame to Paramount, there were already several people waiting there. In addition to Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey, Paramount's head of production, Kevin Feige, was also there.
This is the main creator of "Iron Man", except that director Fei Ru is not here.
I thought it would be easy...... But things don't seem to be so simple. After everyone said hello, they chatted a few words, but everyone was not a person who could sit quietly and chat, so they quickly cut to the chase. Kevin Feige went straight to the point and wanted to invite Li Donglai to participate in "Iron Man 2".
Li Donglai was slightly silent, this participation. If it is an actor, naturally there will be no more brilliant role than Iron Man, at most it will be a supporting role. So if you invite him so solemnly, there is only one answer. said: "Let me direct "Iron Man 2"? Honestly, it's a temptation. I have a few questions...... though."
"Please."
After a slight hesitation. Li Dong said: "First, Director Fei Ru seems to be doing a good job. Second, will you be inviting other well-known actors to join you this time, I mean superstars like Donnie. ”
Kevin spread his hands and said, "The first question is also what we have been negotiating before. Downey is a nostalgic person, and director Favreau did a good job, he made "Iron Man" known. According to Downey's own opinion, he does not want to change directors. But Hollywood is a business place, and we only signed a contract for one play before. It's not that just because you're doing well doesn't mean you're going to continue to work together. I hope you understand......" Li Donglai nodded and looked at Robert Downey again, who didn't seem to mind talking about this.
Kevin laughed, "Of course, the problem now is that we want to take Iron Man 2 one step further. If you're willing to direct Iron Man 2, Downey is okay with that. Donnie shrugged and nodded at him.
Li Donglai smiled, but did not express his position, and continued to listen to the other party's explanation of the second question.
"In addition to Downey this time, we have also made some changes to the script, and we also expect to invite two or three superstars to join. Of course, it depends on the director and script requirements. ”
Li Donglai nodded, two or three powerful superstars, Paramount really regards "Iron Man" as a cash cow, and he does not hesitate to spend money. And he said, "I have one more question. He raised an index finger and said, "I used to make my own decisions when making movies, you know, I'm an independent film company, and I'm basically doing it alone, and I'm very free." How much authority can I have if I take over, my team is a nice group of people, they all eat with me, and I don't want to leave them alone. ”
Kevin didn't answer quickly this time, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Except for the final editing rights and Donnie, you can call the rest." ”
Li Donglai nodded and said, "Thank you very much for the invitation, and I am also looking forward to working with Donnie." But I have some things to do next year and I don't want to make myself as busy as I did this year...... I'll have to think about it before I can reply. ”
"Of course, of course!" Kevin smiled: "It's right to think about it, any other questions can be raised, and we can talk about some in-depth topics...... Li Donglai stayed in Paramount for more than an hour, and everyone chatted for a long time, thinking that it would be very troublesome, but it was only "Iron Man" that was in trouble. They spend most of their time talking about "Iron Man", and the matter of "Due Date" is quite easy.
Li Donglai hasn't thought about "Iron Man" yet, but the script of "Due Date" is really good, and "The Hangover" is very popular, Downey does not plan to refuse this movie. In other words, the audience will see a slightly nervous man (Peter, Downey) paired with Ethan Trebray (Zach Galifeanakis), who is bent on becoming an actor, get rid of the cool coat of "Iron Man" and go on a crazy and funny journey all the way.
It must be a lot of fun.
When he left Paramount, he came out with Donnie, and they had a long chat when they parted. They didn't mind the reporters waiting outside to film the scene.
So that night, the news that Li Donglai was about to join "Iron Man 2" was already running on the Internet.
With a photo with Robert Downey Jr., the "Iron Man", and the Paramount logo in the background, it is very convincing. V!!!
