"The editing was completed in ten days, and the director of "The Hangover" was an eye-opener."

"This is a messy movie, and we may be able to witness the birth of the biggest bad movie in history."

"It's unbelievable that editors don't know what kind of movie they've made."

"Haha, Lee shocked me a lot, he seems to be a smart guy, but it turns out that we can't judge people by their appearance."

"Guess how much box office there will be in the end, I think it's 10 million dollars at most."

"He doesn't understand the comedy of the beautiful country, he doesn't understand the meaning of the movie, he can't play that set in Huaxia."

""Hurricane Rescue" relied on Cheng Long to sell well, and without Cheng Long, he was nothing."

"It's not a sitcom that can make a comedy movie, and the span in between is very large."

……

Li Shengyao edited "The Hangover" in ten days, which once again caused some discussion in the beautiful country, and naturally it was mostly ridiculed.

He didn't care, and arranged for several subordinates to keep an eye on the film, and then he returned home.

At 8 p.m. on June 20, 2007, Li Shengyao took Dong Xuan on the red carpet, and tonight is the final awards party of the Shanghai Film Festival, and he will present the trophy to this year's best actor.

Not long after, Li Shengyao sat down, he naturally sat in the first row, next to a group of bigwigs.

Han Sanping, Zhang Weiping, as well as Xiao Gangcang, as well as Wang Changtian and others.

Zhang Yi has already formed a team for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and it will be impossible for him to make a movie until the end of the Olympic Games next year.

In such a situation, Zhang Weiping is much more idle, but this person is used to being arrogant, so he is naturally not happy to be idle.

At this time, Zhang Weiping was sitting there, his eyes were blank, looking straight ahead, and he didn't know if he was looking at the stage or in a daze.

Feng Xiaogang was very energetic, he squinted his eyes, very proud.

"The Assembly" has been carefully polished by him, and revised by Lee Shengyao, to achieve an extremely high quality.

Although the movie has not yet been released, Xiao Gang Cannon is full of confidence, and he believes that he will create his best results this year.

Han Sanping is in a very good mood, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was released in May, and according to their agreement with Disney, the income from the mainland was divided equally between China Film and Fenghua, and it was easy to earn tens of millions.

And "Red Cliff", which he strongly invested, is already being filmed, and it is said that it is progressing well.

At this time, Han Sanping's face was ruddy, and she could be described as high-spirited.

He saw a little tired Li Dadao in his spare eyes, and he was a little distressed.

Li Shengyao's experience in the beautiful country, he naturally heard about it.

In his opinion, Li Shengyao doesn't need to suffer this anger at all, with Director Li's status and energy in the mainland, even if he can't make a lot of money like "Hurricane Rescue", there is absolutely no problem in making small money.

Now that I go to a beautiful country like this, "The Hangover" is ridiculed, and I don't know if I can get it back.

"Director Li, "The Hangover" was introduced by China Film, right?"

Han Sanping has always owed Li Shengyao favors, he plans to help Director Li, he introduced "The Hangover", and in the later stage, he was seriously promoting it and contributing more box office to this movie.

When Li Shengyao heard this, he smiled slightly, "No need." ”

"Don't you need it?"

"The Hangover" is a project in a beautiful country, and it can be regarded as a beautiful national movie.

Now foreign films enter the mainland and can only be imported by China Film.

Li Shengyao said no, which means that it will not be released in the mainland.

Han Sanping's eyes widened and she looked at Li Shengyao in confusion.

Although there will not be a lot of box office in the mainland, after the final distribution, there should be two or three million US dollars.

Li Shengyao nodded, "Director Han, I understand what you mean, I really don't need it." ”

In his previous life, "The Hangover" had some lines that insulted Asians, but now it has been changed for Lee Shengyao, and the Chinese character has been changed to Mexican.

However, there is a high probability that this movie will not pass the review, and there are too many explicit lines.

In other countries, Hollywood movies mostly get a third of the box office.

The only exception is in the mainland, where taxes are still to be paid, and in the end, Hollywood movies can only get a percentage of about 25 percent, that is, a quarter.

"The Hangover" in his previous life, only 3 million Hong Kong dollars box office on Hong Kong Island.

This city is so westernized that it doesn't like such comedies.

Not to mention the mainland.

Li Shengyao estimates that "The Hangover" is really going to be introduced to the mainland, even if Fenghua and China Film make efforts in the film arrangement, the final box office will not exceed 30 million, and there are very few in his hands, whether there is a million US dollars or not.

And the lines with a lot of, pee and fart in it were released in the mainland, which affected his image as Li Dadao.

In addition, the audit must be revised.

Rather than that, it is better not to introduce the mainland.

Lee Shengyao is much more relaxed here, anyway, he has been prepared for a long time, and this movie does not count on the Asian box office.

Han Sanping came back to his senses, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood Li Shengyao's choice, and he still felt a little sorry for Li Dadao.

He felt that "The Hangover" was only afraid that it would become Director Li's Waterloo this time.

"Okay, you can tell me anything, and China Film will definitely help."

"Okay."

Soon after, it was Lee Shengyao's turn to award the best actor at this year's International Film Festival.

Li Shengyao was the first to come to the stage in a suit and leather shoes.

He took the envelope handed by the host, and then said: "Best Actor - Juan. Jose. Ballesta. ”

This is a middle-aged actor from Spanish Duck who received this honor by starring in Mad Samuel.

Juan looked to be in his forties, bald, with only a little hair left on the back of his head, and the front of his brain was very conspicuous, large and bright.

He is not handsome, but he has big eyes, a round face, and looks like a kinder person.

Lee handed the trophy to Juan, who happily accepted it, and then gave an acceptance speech, saying in Spanish duck that Lee did not understand.

After saying a lot, Juan suddenly switched to English, and he turned to Li Shengyao and nodded.

"Lee, I like your "Hurricane Rescue" very much, don't worry about those who mock you, I think with your talent, "The Hangover" must also be an excellent movie."

Li Shengyao was a little surprised, does Xiban Duck know that "The Hangover" was ridiculed?

He then smiled and nodded his head in thanks.

Moments later, amid a round of applause, Lee returned to the audience.

Han Sanping asked, "Director Li, what did that guy just say?"

"He said 'The Hangover' would be a good movie."

"yes, that'...... Then we have to introduce it," Han Sanping still thinks that "The Hangover" can be introduced, he wants to help Li Shengyao soar a little higher at the global box office, "There is also Cheng Long's "Rush Hour 3" in August, and your "Hangover" will be introduced in September. ”

"I really don't need to, I'm fine here."

……

Cheng Long's "Rush Hour 3" has already determined the schedule, that is, August 10th, this schedule is naturally very good, summer file.

The competition is fierce, though.

Cheng Long did not return to Shanghai from the beautiful country this time, because he had already started to promote in the beautiful country.

Cheng Long is famous, and wherever he goes in the beautiful country, there are TV stations, radio stations, or print media interviews.

Li Shengyao is not as famous as Cheng Long, if he wants to be on some shows, no one will pay attention to him.

As for letting Disney help promote "The Hangover", Lee Shengyao was reluctant to spend money.

He arranged for people to make a batch of promotional cards and posters, and let people put them in the cinema of the beautiful country.

In addition, he also contacted a group of international students, at a price of 2,000 US dollars a month, and hired them to be a water army, promoting "The Hangover" on major forums in the United States, or under hot posts.

At 9 a.m. on June 25, 2007, in a conference room at the Bellagio Hotel in Los Angeles, Lee Shengyao met with Toby again. Emmerich.

This time, Toby also brought a little girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Lee, this is Carly. Bud. Gibson, she has not yet debuted, but she has signed a record company and is a very powerful female singer. ”

Whites are generally precocious, and at the age of twelve or thirteen they look like adults.

There are only a handful of people who look younger than their actual age, and Carly is one of them.

She is eighty-five years old, she is twenty-two years old this year, but she is 1.57 meters, her skin is white, and she has a pair of big eyes, and she is still a student, so she looks very young.

Toby continued: "I heard that your new movie doesn't have a theme song yet, let Carly sing it to you, although she is not famous, she has absolutely no problem with her strength." ”

Li Shengyao looked over.

Carly immediately waved her hand, "Lee, I like your movie very much. ”

Li Shengyao naturally knew her, in his previous life, Carly was famous in the beautiful country, and domestic fans called her squatting sister.

There is no problem with the strength of the squatting girl.

She will participate in "Jiama Big Idol" in late July and win the third place.

Now that no one is willing to sing, Carly is willing to sing, so let her sing.

"Yes, but I need you to write and finish a song within a month, preferably a fast-paced and dynamic song, and if you can't do it, then we'll have to break the contract."

If Carly can't do it, Lee Shengyao will find an old song.

Carly smiled confidently, "No problem. ”

The two parties then signed, and Toby left, and Carly left with her agent.

A few minutes later, Li Shengyao took out his notebook and was about to consider how to strengthen the publicity, when there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door and found it was Carly.

She wears a short blue shirt on her top and a pair of ultra-short jeans on the bottom.

A pair of legs are white and straight.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he looks really young.

"Lee, I'd like to talk to you about your films."

"Bang!"

Li Shengyao closed the door.

"What do you want to know?"

"You look more like an actor than a director, and I've seen some Asians back home, but they're not as handsome as you."

Sidestep the question.

But such a sincere answer sounds quite comfortable.

Li Shengyao smiled, "Are you just here to praise me?" ”

"Of course not, I need to know the content of your film to know where I want to go."

Lee nodded, then poured himself a glass of water and asked the waiter to pour Carly a cup of coffee.

then told the plot of "The Hangover" 1510 again.

In the agreement that Carly just signed, there is a confidentiality clause that she cannot divulge the plot of "The Hangover".

At this time, I heard Li Shengyao's narration.

Carly nodded repeatedly.

What Li Shengyao said is still more interesting, "The Hangover" is slightly different from ordinary comedy movies.

Other comedy movies are just funny, but "The Hangover" is after a night of madness, and the groom is gone.

The other three male protagonists have to find the groom within the specified time.

The film also carries a little bit of mystery and suspense.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, "The Hangover 2" followed the setting of the first part, which was the same reasoning suspense and funny, one person disappeared, and the other three people searched for it, and the global box office exploded.

In the third part, the production company and director floated and changed a setting.

It was one of their friends who was caught, and the other three needed to find enough gold to exchange.

This setting is obviously not so emotional, and the box office is not as high as the first two films.

At this time, Carly listened, and a pair of big eyes fell on Li Shengyao, shining, "Lee, this movie is very interesting, the outside world doesn't know about you, and when the movie is released, they will definitely worship you." ”

"I adore you now."

Li Shengyao smiled, "Hopefully." ”

Carly raised the coffee cup in her hand, took a sip, and then looked at Li Dadao with a smile.

She hasn't debuted yet, but she has signed a brokerage company, and her agency will arrange for her to participate in "Jiama Idol".

She has been singing since she was a child and is determined to enter the entertainment industry.

I have heard some things in the entertainment industry for a long time, and today is actually the first time she has invited songs after becoming a singer.

Just now, her agent said that Director Li's "The Hangover" may overturn, but it may also be popular.

Because Toby. Emmerich is a well-known producer in Hollywood, and he is optimistic that the director will not be bad.

Carly returns to the Bellagio Hotel after separating from her agent, wanting to reach out to the unspoken rules.

Although Director Li is not a person in the singing circle, he is a director who can call the shots.

In case the movie becomes popular, maybe we can cooperate in the future.

However, she was still a little nervous, she naturally had a boyfriend, but this was the first time she had done such a thing.

Lee noticed Carly's smile and looked away with a smile.

The little beauty thought that this would make him hungry and hungry, but she underestimated his concentration.

Seeing this, Carly was stunned, this man is very handsome, why didn't he take the initiative?

She thought about it, got up and walked up to Li Shengyao, "Li, do you have anything else to say about "The Hangover?" ”

"Nope."

"Oh."

Carly was a little disappointed, and the directors were rumored to be nervous.

She stood for a while, and then found that the atmosphere was a little awkward, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and then couldn't help but reach out and pull Li Shengyao's hand, "Li, I want some inspiration." ”

"What kind of inspiration?"

Carly blushed, then leaned over, "Lots and lots of inspiration." ”

Before today, Director Li had always despised those old men who liked small girls, he felt that these people were boring and did not dare to challenge sports girls with good physical strength.

But Carly makes him understand that small people also have advantages.

Especially some action movie poses, he couldn't do it before, but this time he can.

It was a real bonus.

Carly is a singer, she doesn't have a voice, she sings well, and she speaks well.

Two hours later, the two left the room.

Carly was full of tenderness, "Lee, have you been busy lately?" ”

"I'm not busy, I'm very idle."

"The Hangover" is almost finished, but Director Li has no publicity resources, he is really idle, he plans to take advantage of this time to write the script of "Hurricane Rescue 23".
