Cheng Long's return to China was the recording of the promotional song for the Olympic Games, that is, the song "Yanjing Welcomes You".

He returned to China for a week, then returned to the crew, and then filmed "Hurricane Rescue 3".

After more than 20 days, the time entered August.

Cheng Long still wants to return to China, and this time Director Li also wants to go back.

The Yenching Olympics will be held on August 8, and both Li Shengyao and Cheng Long will go back to show their faces for the opening ceremony, and then they will show their faces in several competitions and give interviews.

I'll stay for about a week, and then I'll head to Los Angeles to continue shooting.

At 8 o'clock in the evening of August 8, 2008, the Yanjing Bird's Nest was crowded with people and cheered.

In a corner of the audience, Lee Shengyao and Chen Hao sat together, smiling and applauding, and next to them, there were many entertainment stars, both from the mainland and Hong Kong Island.

For example, Li Lianhua, Brother Xiao Ming, Chen Kun, as well as Nicholas Tse, and Asa and so on.

The director also has it, Xiao Gangcang, and Brother Kai Zi have all come over.

Xiao Gang Cannon sat on the other side of Li Shengyao, this guy's skin is still very white, but his complexion is much better today, his eyes are bright, and his hair is all combed back, although the hair is short, not a lot, but his spirit is very good.

While applauding, he stretched out his hand to point to the performers in the center of the venue, telling Li Shengyao about Zhang Yimou's intentions, the scale of the performance, and their origins.

Ordinary people don't know much about Zhang Yi's programs, but entertainment bigwigs like Feng Xiaogang understand it very well.

In fact, many big directors in the mainland have helped in the past, and Xiao Gang Cannon has already seen the rehearsal.

He knew a little bit about these things.

Li Shengyao smiled and nodded, listening quietly.

At this moment, Xiao Gangcang suddenly said, "Director Li, I heard that the beautiful country is not very good for your movie public opinion?"

Xiao Gang Cannon didn't look at Li Shengyao, he looked at the performers in the center of the stadium, but he pricked up his ears, obviously listening carefully.

Lee is not surprised by this.

"Well, McCain, this guy, said a lot of inflammatory things."

"This foreign devil is jealous of you, they are worried that you will develop better and better in the beautiful country and make their money."

Li Shengyao smiled, "This can't help him." ”

Feng Xiaogang saw that Li Shengyao was not flustered, his face was indifferent, that is, surprised, and curious, "Director Li, aren't you worried that the audience of the beautiful country will follow the rumors?"

For Hollywood, Xiaogang Cannon is mostly afraid in his heart.

After all, Hollywood movies sell all over the world, even last year, his "Assembly" got more than 200 million box office, but it is not the No. 1 movie in the mainland box office, and the top movie in the mainland last year was "Transformers".

In Xiao Gangcang's heart, the film production company on the Hollywood side is very capable and very good at doing things.

It's hard for outsiders to make money in Hollywood.

Li Shengyao relied on "Hurricane Rescue 1" and "The Hangover 1" to make a lot of money, which is already very good.

Now "Hurricane Rescue 23", to McCain, is to be expected.

However, McCain is a candidate, and people at this level come to belittle Lee Shengyao's movie, and if it is him, he must be panicking.

Li Dadao's attitude at this time, he was very puzzled.

Li Shengyao smiled, "It's useless to worry, I believe that McCain won't be able to jump for long, and he will go down after the election, Ao Hei is not that kind of person, he will win me over." ”

He then pointed ahead in the void, "Our country is getting stronger and stronger, and they are going to win us over. ”

When the little steel cannon heard this, he didn't know what to do.

"Then you can still make a lot of money in the beautiful country."

"It should be okay for the next few years, but it's not interesting."

Li Shengyao paused, clapped his hands, and then said: "It's uncomfortable to film over there, and when I finish filming "Hurricane Rescue 23", I'll come back." ”

When Feng Xiaogang heard this, his mood was a little complicated, "It's good to be back, you are back, Chinese movies must be more prosperous." ”

Li Shengyao glanced at the small steel cannon, smiled and nodded.

Xiao Gang Cannon is now preparing for "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", this movie is a comedy movie, which is his strength, he shoots very confidently, very easily, and the whole person is a lot smoother.

Director Li also used to have such a state, he misses this feeling very much, making movies in China, with his status and influence, there are not so many messy things.

Xiao Gang Cannon continued: "Director Li, after you come back, what direction is it?"

He is actually a little worried about Li Shengyao's comedy, after all, Li Shengyao is filming "The Hangover" in a beautiful country, and it can be a big hit, if he makes a comedy in China, will it be even more popular?

Will it compare him to him?

Li Shengyao thought for a while, "I'm not sure yet, it must be a commercial movie." ”

"Is it a comedy?"

Li Shengyao hesitated slightly, then shook his head, "No." ”

In his previous life, in the next ten years of the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, there was actually no outstanding comedy, that is, "Charlotte's Troubles" was slightly better.

In fact, even Hollywood, except for the "Hangover" series, does not have a dazzling comedy movie.

On the contrary, France and Italy have many acclaimed and popular comedies.

Just like "Where Are I Going", "Beautiful Day" is a comedy movie, with a local box office of 50 million euros and a global box office of more than 200 million US dollars, which can definitely make money.

It's a pity that the comedy irony of France and Italy is too strong to be adapted for adaptation.

Lee couldn't remake the comedy of these two countries.

However, it should be possible to invest, and when the time comes, go to France to register a film and television investment company and invest in excellent comedy films from these two countries.

As for the movie after his own return, he naturally has to think about it.

The first is a commercial film, which must be able to make money.

Making money is his first priority in filming, and he will never make movies that lose money.

It's like "Casting a Name", which has a good reputation but loses money, what does it mean?

The second is to try to be a good word-of-mouth movie.

After all, his previous movies have a good reputation, and if he continues, he will form a brand in this way, which is more conducive to subsequent development.

Just like Nolan, there are more and more good movies, and in the end, he even cultivated a group of director fans.

The last point is to bring the film of Chinese culture.

"The Hangover" and the "Hurricane Rescue" series of movies are all beautiful cultures.

In this regard, it is necessary to correct it.

Feng Xiaogang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Li Shengyao's words, and then he said: "Director Li, I wish you a great success in your movie after returning to China, and it will be popular all over the world." ”

"It's an exaggeration, don't expect the world, in Southeast Asia, there is also a high box office in the Chinese-speaking area."

Li Shengyao and Feng Xiaogang did not deliberately suppress their voices, and many people nearby heard the conversation between the two people.

The actors naturally looked forward to Director Li.

The directors and producers are thoughtful.

Everyone realizes that this man who earned a beautiful knife is about to return.
