Of all the awards, the most important honor is, of course, Best Picture.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, as of his crossing, Chinese films have won a total of 12 Best Pictures in Europe's top 30 films, 10 times in the island country, and 2 times in the peninsula.

It can be said that Lao Mouzi alone can crush all the honors of Peninsula filmmakers.

Lee Shengyao has recently considered a new movie, and he plans to copy a Peninsula movie, so that Peninsula movies will have one less heavyweight film.

The filial sons of the province had the illusion that Peninsula Movies could wrestle with Chinese-language films.

The movie he wants to copy is "Parasite".

Although many people think that "Parasite" can win the Oscar, it is a dog bone awarded to the peninsula by the beautiful country, and think that this movie is very ordinary, but this movie can win the Cannes Palme d'Or, and it still has some strength.

We are calm and evaluate "Parasite" from an objective point of view, this movie is definitely an excellent film that can be said well.

"Parasite" is about class contradictions, and it is a story that the whole world can read and understand, which is especially rare.

Many movies need to understand some historical background in order to understand the general environment and understand the motivations and reasons for the choice of characters.

And "Parasite" doesn't need it, it's a story about the poor and the rich.

You can set the background of the story in China, in a beautiful country, in France, or in an island country.

This is one of the reasons why "Parasite" can get 190 million US dollars worldwide.

is such an excellent movie, Li Shengyao feels that it can be made in advance.

However, this film may not be able to pass the review in the mainland, and he plans to set the story on Hong Kong Island and shoot it on Hong Kong Island.

With this idea, Li Shengyao stayed at home throughout August to write the script of "Parasite", and at the same time read the script of "Zodiac", "Huaxia Partner", and "Thai Embarrassment" to help them correct it.

Cheng Long attaches great importance to "Zodiac", and he is very grateful to Li Shengyao for helping him change the script and giving Li Shengyao a role, and Li Shengyao arranged for Brother Hu to go.

In the case of "Thai Embarrassment", Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Baoqiang are still three people, and the other roles are not important, and there is no need to arrange elegant artists.

After the role setting of "Huaxia Partner" was completed, Han Sanping personally visited the door and asked what actor to choose.

Li Shengyao flipped through the bar and decided to choose three powerful actors in their thirties with acting skills.

In the end, Li Shengyao chose Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, and Zhao Yang.

The roles of Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao are good, which fits the temperament of the two of them very well.

And Fenghua doesn't have people with this temperament here.

Regarding these two important roles, Li Shengyao did not force Fenghua to be an artist.

The male number three of "Huaxia Partner", that is, the role that originally belonged to Tong Dawei, he felt that he could let Zhao Yang play, so he stuffed a gorgeous artist.

……

In August 2011, there were not many good movies in the mainland film market, and the only one worth mentioning was "Eavesdropping 2", and the Hollywood movie was "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".

Relatively speaking, the film market in August is not as hot as in July.

It is worth mentioning that on August 22, the Huabiao Awards held an award ceremony in Beijing, with more than 400 artists participating, which can be said to be an unprecedented grand occasion.

The explosion of the mainland film market has made more and more people pay attention to mainland film awards.

"1937" can be entered, but Li Shengyao only signed up for Huang Xiaoming, and he did not sign up for other projects.

After all, it is already in Cannes, and the Shanghai Film Festival has won so many awards, there is no need to take all the awards into your arms.

Considering that Huang Xiaoming has a good reputation in the mainland entertainment industry, he may hope to win an outstanding actor award, so Li Shengyao signed him up.

However, in the end, Huang Xiaoming did not win the Outstanding Film Actor Award, an important award for Li Xuejian and Ge You.

Huang Xiaoming was a little disappointed, but then China Film asked him to play "Huaxia Partner", which made him very excited.

……

That night, a crescent moon hung in the sky, and the clouds were covered with a silver-white gauze.

The early summer wind blows quietly, and the air smells good.

Huang Xiaoming hosted a banquet for Li Shengyao and Chen Hao at the China World Summit Wing.

When Li Shengyao took Chen Hao over, he found that in addition to Huang Xiaoming, there were also Yang Ying, as well as Chen Kexin and Wu Junru.

Chen Hao's pregnant belly was already very big, she followed Li Shengyao to appear, Yang Ying and Wu Junru immediately stepped forward to help, and behaved very kindly.

Huang Xiaoming wore a gray jacket with a pair of dark blue jeans and a pair of white heightened combat boots.

Chen Kexin was wearing a black casual suit on her upper body, a pair of white sweatpants on her lower body, and a pair of Gaobang sneakers, the legs of the sweatpants were tucked into the shoes, which looked very unusual.

To be honest, the tide of the day, Han Fan, and the British style of dressing and matching are all traceable, I know what style I want to embody, look carefully, and I can find the highlights.

Only the Hong Kong tide is really dirty and ugly.

Even a handsome guy like Gu Tianle is often dressed as a thunderous man.

Yang Ying and Wu Junru's outfits are relatively normal.

Li Shengyao ignored Chen Kexin's thunderous dress and pulled Chen Hao to sit down together.

Huang Xiaoming then poured tea for Li Shengyao, and he poured wine himself, "Director Li, thank you for your introduction this time, you are my lifelong nobleman, thank you for your great kindness, everything is in this glass of wine." ”

After the words fell, Huang Xiaoming raised his wine glass and drank it all.

The news that China Film and Fenghua invested in "Huaxia Partner" together has spread, and the news that Li Shengyao recommended Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, and Zhao Yang has also spread.

All three called to thank Lee Shengyao.

Zhao Yang went directly to Li Shengyao's house and brought two calligraphy and paintings.

Deng Chao happened to be acting at this time, called to thank Li Shengyao, and said that he would return to Yanjing soon, and personally set up a banquet to entertain him at that time.

Huang Xiaoming happened to be in Yanjing, and he had time, so he naturally hosted a banquet for Li Shengyao to express his gratitude.

In the past, Lee Shengyao would be humble for a few words, and then say that he was business-like, because you were more suitable for the role, so he chose you.

But now Lee Shengyao will not say that.

Don't let such a favor be in vain.

He looked at Huang Xiaoming with a smile, and when Huang Xiaoming finished drinking the glass of wine, he said, "Work hard, don't let me down." ”

Huang Xiaoming nodded solemnly, "Director, I will definitely work hard, and I will definitely not let you down." ”

Mr. Lee then sat down.

"Okay, remember your words."

Huang Xiaoming sat down and then introduced the specialties of this table to Li Shengyao.

They obviously came prepared, the dishes on the table were very expensive, and Huang Xiaoming could still remember the characteristics of these dishes, what kind of flavor they had, what nutrition they had, and whether they could be given to pregnant women.

Lee discovered that most of the dishes were beneficial to pregnant women.

When he saw that Chen Hao was eating happily, he smiled and didn't say anything.

Huang Xiaoming has high emotional intelligence, Yang Ying is also very good at talking, and even Wu Junru, whose Mandarin is not standard, said a lot of words, holding Li Shengyao.

After being full of wine and food, Wu Junru led Chen Hao to eat fruit.

And Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying took Li Shengyao to tea.

After chatting for a while, Huang Xiaoming glanced at Yang Ying, and then said, "Director Li, this time in addition to expressing our gratitude, there is another thing I want to discuss with you. ”

"You say."

"That's the case, Yang Ying came to the mainland from Hong Kong Island to develop, she didn't think too much about it at the beginning, and hurriedly entered Huayi, but there are too many actors in Huayi, and the competition is big, she wants to go to Fenghua, I don't know if she can sign Fenghua?"

It turned out that he wanted to sign Fenghua.

Six years ago, before Lee Shengyao directed a film for the first time, the artist contract was basically decided by himself.

But then as the stall got bigger and bigger, he stopped caring about these things.

Very few artists come to him to talk about this kind of thing.

Before, Ji Bingbing wanted to turn Fenghua, but he didn't agree.

As for Yang Ying?

This person is not good at acting, singing, or dancing, that is, in the first two or three years of "Running Man", he played relatively well.

However, now the running man is a few people who are all in style, and it is impossible to give it to Yang Ying.

Even if Yang Ying came to Fenghua, Li Shengyao didn't know what work he could arrange for her.

Although Li Dadao is very rich, now the stall is very large, there are many departments, and there are many people who eat with him, and one more person will not affect his business empire.

But Mr. Lee has always been pragmatic.

He recommended Huang Xiaoming to play "Huaxia Partner", which does not mean that he prefers Huang Xiaoming, even Huang Xiaoming's girlfriend has to be taken care of.

Without any melancholy, Li Shengyao glanced at Yang Ying, and then said: "If you want to sign a contract with Fenghua, you can naturally do it, but Fenghua also has a group of excellent female artists, such as Sun Li, Deng Jiajia, Liu Shishi, my movie, and "1937" brought Sun Li.

Entering Fenghua does not mean that you can make movies.

Those opportunities to act in movies are all fought for by the artists themselves.

As for Fenghua's TV series, there are even more talents here, Sun Li is the queen of TV dramas, Liu Shishi has 300 million little lions, these two people are very popular, Deng Jiajia and Guo Zhenni are powerful, if you want to be the heroine in Fenghua, you must either be popular or have good acting skills.

Are you up for the challenge?

It is not easy to take the lead in Fenghua. ”

When Yang Ying heard this, she looked at Li Shengyao in a daze.

She still has some resources in Huayi, after all, Huang Xiaoming takes care of her, but Wang Zhonglei looks at her with old mimi, which makes her a little uncomfortable.

The reason why she wants to go to Fenghua is because she wants to take the road of an actor.

Fenghua has many film and television resources.

But listening to Li Shengyao say this, it seems that she really has no advantage in the face of other artists.

Even if Fenghua has a heroine, she will not be asked to play her.

So can you let Li Shengyao praise her?

She blinked wide, smiling lips into what she thought was a charming smile.

But Director Li only glanced at it and turned his gaze away.

When Yang Ying saw this, she was disappointed, thinking that she had seen Li Shengyao on Hong Kong Island before, and she had used her means at that time, but Director Li did not accept it at all.

If it weren't for Huang Xiaoming's lack of knowledge and almost determination, maybe she would still be on Hong Kong Island.

Now it seems that Director Li still has no intention of sneaking her, and Fenghua is impossible.

"Don't bother, after you mentioned this, I think I still have a lot to learn and improve, now I still work hard to improve my strength first, and then consider going to Fenghua when my acting skills go up in the future."

Whether it is Huang Xiaoming or Yang Ying, they are both smart people, and they naturally understand that what Li Shengyao said just now seems to be reasonable, but in fact, he is rejecting Yang Ying.

Both of them were sensible and immediately changed the topic and did not let the atmosphere cool down.

Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying chatted with Li Shengyao for a while, and Chen Kexin, who had been sitting next to him, finally moved.

"Director Li, I respect you."

Chen Kexin then got up and poured tea for Li Shengyao.

During the period of "Casting a Name", Chen Kexin was still very beautiful, until the box office of "Martial Arts" was only 170 million, and it was revealed that the crew spent money indiscriminately.

An ordinary straw hat is 6,000 US dollars.

Chen Kexin was regarded as a bloodsucker by a group of investors, and no one asked Chen Kexin to make a movie for a short time.

Even rich coal bosses or large Internet companies avoid Chen Kexin.

Only then did he realize that his reputation had been ruined.

must make a reliable movie to save his reputation, otherwise, he is likely to be abandoned by mainland capital.

Throughout August, he did not return to Hong Kong Island and has been active in the mainland, but unfortunately no one has paid attention to him.

Recently, there was news about "Huaxia Partner", which was invested by China Film and Fenghua together.

Chen Kexin heard the synopsis of the story, he liked it very much, and felt that this movie was funny.

Regarding the three important roles in the movie, China Film followed Li Shengyao's advice.

Chen Kexin wanted to talk to Li Shengyao, hoping to get Li Shengyao's support.

Li Shengyao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

To be honest, Chen Kexin looks like a traitor, and looks like a devil's translator.

Chen Kexin gave him tea, he specially glanced at it to make sure there was no problem, and then picked up the teacup.

He thought of Yang Ying's thoughts, and felt that Chen Kexin most likely wanted to hug his thighs.

Chen Kexin is naturally not a person like Yang Ying who has no ink on his chest and has empty skin.

He still has the strength.

However, because of his previous life, he didn't like Chen Kexin very much.

This person is a wandering director, touting where he can make money, once he can't make money, he will leave immediately, without any nostalgia.

"Director Li, I want to become the director of "Huaxia Partner", and I hope to get your support."

Chen Kexin directly said his thoughts.

"If you support me, I am willing to make three movies for Fenghua."

This guy is full of selfishness, and Li Shengyao is unwilling to use him.

He doesn't need Chen Kexin to make a movie for him.

After all, Chen Kexin's later movies may not be released.

"Director Chen, I'm sorry, I can't promise you, "Huaxia Partner" is a film based on China Film, and I can't guarantee that China Film will not listen to me."

In his previous life, "Chinese Partner" finally chose Chen Kexin as the director.

This decision is actually quite good from a professional point of view.

After all, Chen Kexin is very good at shooting such feature films that reflect the changes of the times, "Sweet Honey" and "A Tale of Two Cities" are his masterpieces.

This ability, not to mention Hong Kong Island, is very rare in the entire Chinese film and television industry.

If China Film thinks about it seriously, maybe it will choose Chen Kexin.

The reason why Li Shengyao refused was to put forward other conditions.

He doesn't want to invest in Chen Kexin's other films.

In his previous life, after Chen Kexin directed "Huaxia Partner", he produced "Dear", which had an okay rating, but the box office was average.

The movies made by Chen Kexin later, "Li Na" and "Winning the Championship" are very topical, but none of them were released, and the other had a bad reputation.

Li Shengyao felt that Chen Kexin looked calm, as if she was a more gentle character.

In fact, this person is very impetuous, can't stand being wronged, and as soon as there is a problem, he immediately flees.

Just like the controversy of "Winning the Championship", Chen Kexin then announced that he would shoot movies that the world can understand, not just movies that mainland audiences like, and he also took great pains to set up a studio to prepare film and television works for the world, and to cooperate with Netflix.

This guy seems to be disgusted with the mainland audience.

As a result, I made a lot of money for several years, defrauded I don't know how many investors made money, and not a single work was produced.

In short, this is a very talented person, but he has no position.

Chen Kexin heard this, and then said: "You help me speak, Zhongying will definitely consider it, Director Li, help." ”

When Li Shengyao heard this, he did not answer.

Chen Kexin thought for a while and said in a low voice: "If you are willing to help, I will set aside an important role for Fenghua artists in the next three movies." ”

Li Shengyao raised his head and glanced at Chen Kexin, "It must be a positive character." ”

"Okay."

Li Shengyao smiled and raised the teacup, "Director Chen, I believe you will succeed." ”

"Thank you, and please take care of me."

Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying had been sitting quietly next to them, and when they saw that Li Shengyao and Chen Kexin had finished talking, they immediately joined in the celebration.
