In mid-November, the Golden Horse Awards were held as scheduled.

Like Lee's impression, the jury's note is an unknown associate professor who has written several papers.

At the awards party, the best actor nominees were Qin Hao, Ni Dahong, Wang Xueqi, as well as Ruan Jingtian, Qin Hao and Ni Dahong did not go, so Wang Xueqi went.

However, the movie that Wang Xueqi signed up for is "The Siege of October", which can be said to be a group drama, and Lao Wang's role is not exciting.

Wang Xueqi's nomination is a make-up number.

Seeing this appearance, the big guy basically knows what he is playing.

After a while, the award presenter shouted the words "Ruan Jingtian" loudly, and there was a warm cheer at the scene, as if this guy has received this award now, and he is a superstar.

People in Hong Kong Island and the film and television circles understand that this is to praise the young people of Hong Kong Island.

The mainland artists and stars on the scene are naturally much colder.

Li Shengyao didn't care about the situation of the Golden Horse Awards, but Wang Weizhong fulfilled his promise and gave the best cinematography and best editing to "Border Killer".

It was also announced that there would be a film exhibition of Director Li Da in the north of the tire, and there would be a theater dedicated to showing movies directed by Li Shengyao in the past.

When the news came out, there were rumors immediately that Lee Shengyao had cooperation with the Wanwan film and television industry, and perhaps Ruan Jingtian was the leading actor in the next movie directed by Lee Shengyao.

Li Shengyao asked Fenghua's official website to directly veto the news, saying that he had no idea of cooperation.

He is not worried about offending the Wanwan film and television circle, the Wanwan film market is already small, and the masses look down on mainland movies.

As for the Golden Horse Awards, they will be completely rotten in a few years.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, the Golden Horse Awards later became Xiaoying's propaganda position, and mainland filmmakers did not go to the Golden Horse Awards at all, and even the Hong Kong Island Film Association issued an announcement for local filmmakers to participate cautiously.

This award, which used to be for Chinese films around the world, has suddenly become a self-congratulatory award.

Lee didn't want to get involved with Ruan Jingtian, he didn't have time to cooperate with the hype.

He is now fully engaged in the production of "1937", and they are about to start filming in earnest.

At that time, there will be not only three or four hundred group performances, but four thousand group performances pouring into Xiangshan Film and Television City, and Li Shengyao is now under great pressure.

He has been discussing with the assistant directors for a long time, formulating several sets of plans, and also transferred six assistant directors from Fenghua headquarters to assist him in managing more than 4,000 group performances.

The more than 4,000 people were mainly filming a few large-scale war scenes, and he hoped to finish filming within a month, otherwise the budget might be overrun.

In addition, if Fenghua Video wants to be listed, it will also require him to spend some energy.

……

At nine o'clock in the morning on this day, a small car left the Guosheng Hotel in Ningbo and headed for Xiangshan Film and Television City.

Inside the car, there was a man in his sixties and a young woman.

The man has short hair, a thin body, and a kind face, and he is wearing a set of sportswear with a pair of tennis shoes, and he looks very casual.

This man is the famous Zhang Yimou.

The young woman next to Lao Mouzi is in her twenties, her appearance is passable, her long hair and shawl are considered beautiful girls among ordinary people, but in the entertainment industry, it is not conspicuous.

The woman wears a denim jacket and jeans with a pair of sneakers.

She was chewing gum in her mouth, and there was a bit of ABC feeling overall.

Her name is Zhang Mo, and she is Lao Mouzi's eldest daughter.

Zhang Mo went abroad before finishing high school, relying on Ang Lee's relationship to enter the New York University Film School, studying in the Department of Choreography and Directing.

She returned to China in 08, and then followed Lao Mouzi, and she was an assistant director in "The Legend of the Three Guns Shooting" and "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

Zhang Mo's directing talent should be okay.

Lao Mouzi is a low-key and cautious person, although Zhang Mo often shouts that he wants to make movies independently, but he does not agree.

This time, Lao Mouzi took Zhang Mo to Xiangshan Film and Television City, to visit the crew of "1937".

Lao Mouzi has already decided on the direction of the next film, he will make a film about the Jinling Massacre, and both Jiang Zhiqiang and Universal Pictures have shown great interest.

They plan to invite a Hollywood superstar to play the male lead, aiming for the global box office.

However, they still need some preparation time, and they are not expected to start up until next year.

There are still almost two months between this time and next year, Lao Mouzi's eyes rolled, and he immediately noticed that he planned to let Zhang Mo go to the crew of "1937" to learn and learn.

Anyway, Zhang Mo has nothing to do now, so it's better to let him follow Director Li, if he can learn some skills from Li Shengyao, it will also be a good thing.

However, Zhang Mo was a little unimpressed.

When she was young, she used to like Li Shengyao's TV series very much, such as "Please Answer 1988" and "Uncle", which she often watched in beautiful countries.

But then Lee Shengyao made a series of commercial films, and she became a full-fledged student of the choreography and directing department, studying those classic films all day long.

Slowly, I can't look down on Li Shengyao's commercial movies.

She feels that Li Shengyao's commercial films have no breakthrough in artistic creation, and there is no irreplaceability.

She didn't look at it much.

"You followed me to make two movies, don't you understand? Commercial films are not so easy to make, and at least half of the directors in China can't even tell a complete story. ”

Seeing his daughter's attitude, Lao Mouzi felt a little annoyed and explained seriously.

Zhang Mo pursed his lips and was about to refute, when Lao Mouzi hit a few times in a row.

He is getting older, and every time he sneezes, his body shakes violently, and when he finishes sneezing, his whole face is a lot redder, and he looks a lot thinner.

Seeing this, Zhang Mo was worried about Lao Mouzi's body, so he said, "I know, I will study hard." ”

Seeing this, Lao Mouzi nodded with relief.

Soon after, they rushed to Xiangshan Film and Television City and came to the filming set of the "1937" crew.

Lee Shengyao is filming the most difficult large-scale war scene, and he is very busy.

However, Lao Mouzi came over, and Director Li still squeezed out some time, chatted with Lao Mouzi for a few words, and then agreed to have a meal together at noon.

Li Shengyao went back to continue to be busy, while Lao Mouzi and Zhang Mo were casually hanging out on the set.

At this time, there were almost 4,500 people on the entire set, the group performers and the staff, and as far as the eye could see, there were people everywhere.

This time, Director Li took the megaphone.

"Okay, let's go."

The performers immediately moved, and the camera mainly focused on Brother Xiao Ming and Zhang Yi, but sometimes they would borrow the perspective of two people to bring the scene of the entire battlefield, so so many group performances were needed to cooperate.

Whether it was Brother Xiao Ming and Zhang Yi, or other unknown group performers, they heard Li Shengyao's voice and immediately performed.

On Xiao Ming's and Zhang Mo's side, a photographer holding a Steadicam stabilizer followed closely, and they were the main force of filming.

For other group performances, there is no dedicated photographer.

Li Shengyao asked for long shots, and it was impossible to give group shots at will.

The group performers are all photographers who occasionally pan the camera over, and when filming Xiao Ming and Zhang Yi, they brought their images.

But even so, the group performers are still preparing very seriously.

The group performances around Brother Xiao Ming and Zhang Mo followed them for almost five months.

As for the 4,000 newcomers, they stood far away, and the rehearsal lasted only three or four days, but the overall performance was still very good.

These group performances that have just come to Xiangshan Film and Television City seem very natural after the assistant director has spoken over and over again.

After a long set of shots, an assistant director held up a megaphone and shouted, "Good, ten minutes off." ”

The ensemble immediately dispersed to rest.

With a few assistant directors as the core, they returned to the position agreed before.

Looking at a bunch of people, but it's not messy at all.

Lao Mouzi has not only made big-scene movies like "Hero", but also the chief director of the Olympic Games, and he naturally knows how difficult it is to keep thousands of people organized.

It's break time, and the group performers are still so regular, he nodded again and again.

"Director Li's ability is not said."

Zhang Mo was also a little surprised in her heart, she worked as an assistant director for Lao Mouzi and often dealt with group performances.

She remembers that during the filming of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", several group actors secretly drank and messed around during filming, she lost her temper at the time, and she still didn't deal with it well.

In the end, it was Zhang Weiping who came forward, taught those people a lesson, and expelled them.

Li Shengyao is now facing so many people, and he can still divide the An An of these group performances, and he does have some ability.

Soon after, the crew of "1937" continued to shoot, and this scene is the male protagonist and the second male lead shuttling on the battlefield to Shangguan's headquarters.

Along the way, the two of them discussed while bending over to avoid the bullets.

This part of the scene is still difficult to shoot, and this long shot is six minutes long.

Brother Xiao Ming and Zhang Yi couldn't stop, but had to finish the performance in one go.

Fortunately, the five months of rehearsals were not in vain, and the two of them successfully completed this set of plays despite everyone's uncertain eyes.

When Lao Mouzi saw it, he couldn't help but say: "The long shot is a great test of the actors' acting skills, Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Yi are very good, these are two actors worth cultivating." ”

"But the main reason is that Director Li arranged for them to rehearse for five months before, and now it seems that the rehearsal effect is very good."

"Five months, who has such courage, only Director Li arranged for the actors to rehearse for so long."

Except for some talented actors, other actors have to rehearse for a long time before they can perform well in long shots.

Zhang Mo didn't want to refute this time.

In other words, if she wants to make some highly artistic movies, she is unwilling to let the actors rehearse for five months, which costs a lot of money.

Lee Shengyao had people rehearse for five months, which is really awesome.

Lao Mouzi continued to observe, and then sighed again: "Have you seen Director Li's attitude in the details?" ”

"...... in the details"

Zhang Mo thought that Lao Mouzi still had to talk about rehearsals for five months.

"Looking at the soldiers on the battlefield, their clothes are more shabby, and the soldiers' mental state is not so good, while the guards at the Shangguan command post have more colorful clothes and better mental state, such details, Director Li can notice."

Zhang Mo was stunned for a moment, then looked carefully and found that this was really the case.

Lee Sang Yew's attitude towards excellence in filmmaking is undeniable.

At least in the Chinese film and television industry, there are really few people like Li Shengyao.

An hour later, Lao Mouzi said: "I noticed that a total of four Steadicam photographers have just been replaced, and I now believe that Director Li is going to make a one-shot movie, and ninety percent of the shots are locked on the male No. 1 and male No. 2, so there is really no need to switch lenses." ”

"Can you really take one shot?"

When Zhang Mo heard this, he couldn't help but ask.

After "1937" was promoted, Zhang Mo discussed it with his classmates, and everyone felt that Li Shengyao was whimsical, and it was impossible for one shot to last 110 minutes.

Lao Mouzi shook his head, "I don't know, it should be possible, Director Li is not a big talker." ”

"If he does it, then he can really leave a name in film history."

When Zhang Mo heard this, he showed his approval.

Li Shengyao is only three years older than her, and if he really sees it to the end this time, it will indeed be a great thing.

In that case, Li Dadao has made a breakthrough in artistic creation.

Lao Mouzi saw that his daughter followed his words this time, and said with a smile: "You just follow him and study hard, you have half of his strength, and you can gain a foothold in the Chinese film and television industry." ”

Zhang Mo thought of a shot to the end, and was a little more curious, she didn't really want to work here.

At this time, thinking of what I saw and heard today, just like what Lao Mouzi said, Li Shengyao is indeed powerful, if he can steal a teacher or two, he will benefit for life.

"I see."

Lao Mouzi nodded with satisfaction, and then advised: "Don't make trouble here, Director Li is not only a director, but also a big capital, his video company is about to go public, and the next thing is terrible." ”

……

Li Shengyao and Wu Wenhui had long been prepared for the listing of Fenghua Video, reorganized the shares of Fenghua Video Branch, and then sent them to the New York Stock Exchange to apply for listing qualifications.

Generally speaking, it is easier to review the listing of beautiful countries.

They don't look at what they have achieved so far, they look at what they want to look forward to.

That is to say, if you can brag and make PPT, you will be able to list it in a beautiful country.

According to Li Shengyao and Wu Wenhui's previous estimates, they can pass the review in September and are expected to be officially listed in October.

However, the two of them will not predict the future after all, and the New York Stock Exchange did not complete the review in September, and it was not until mid-November that the information came from the beautiful country that they passed the review.

Now that it has passed the review, it is natural to go public.

So Wu Wenhui led a group of people to the beautiful country to prepare for the listing.

On Tuesday, November 30, 2010, at 10 a.m., Fenghua Video was officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The original stock price was $1, the total share price was $200 million, the opening issue price was $22.5, and by the close of the market at 3 p.m., the stock price had doubled, and the price of a single share reached $45.

In other words, the stock price of Fenghua Video increased 45 times on the first day, and the market value increased from 200 million US dollars to 9 billion US dollars.

Lee Shengyao did not go to the beautiful country.

However, he looked at the real-time data in China, and after the market closed on the first day, the stock price of Fenghua Video increased by 45 times, and in theory, Li Shengyao's worth skyrocketed, and his total personal worth exceeded 5.5 billion US dollars, which is more than 40 billion yuan when converted into adult coins.

In 2010, this worth was enough to enter the Forbes rich list.

At the same time, the shares held by the top management of Fenghua have risen sharply, and their worth has exceeded 100 million.

The senior management represented by Wu Wenhui was excited, and shouted in the internal group of the company's senior management to thank Director Li for his attention.

Li Shengyao is also very happy to announce that the year-end bonus of all people in Fenghua Group will be increased by 10,000 yuan this year.

"The boss is awesome!"

The cheers resounded throughout all parts of China, all of Fenghua's subsidiaries, theaters, and production studios.
