Chapter 602: Public Opinion
"Zhang Manyu beat the mother of 007 and won the Venice Film Festival."
"Zhang Manyu - the second in the world, won the best actress at the three major European film festivals."
"Zhang Manyu: I want to thank Director Li, without his efforts, I would not have been able to act in such an excellent movie."
"'Three Billboards' is very good, and I hope everyone can enjoy it."
"Asia's No. 1 actress, Zhang Manyu's transformation road."
"Lee Shengyao won Best Director at the Venice Film Festival."
"Beirutocchi: Huaxia is a magical place, it has a long history, a rich culture, and I believe that there will be a continuous emergence of great directors there."
"Barbara: Lee's saga in Venice has just begun, he will surely be even greater, and the Venice Film Festival welcomes him."
"The Film Handbook called Lee Shengyao the best director of the new generation."
"Seeing and Hearing: Lee Shengyao's new film is very good, the plot design is full of tension, and it is a film worthy of learning from all screenwriters."
……
With "Three Billboards", Lee Shengyao helped Maggie Cheung win the Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival, and then won the Best Director himself.
This matter has caused a huge discussion in the country.
Previously, because of the remarks about preparing three movies at the same time, many media and netizens thought that Li Shengyao was floating and forgot the original intention of making movies.
Regarding Li Shengyao's threats to help actors win the best actor and queen, they are mainly ridiculed.
However, "Three Billboards" really did it.
Zhang Manyu relied on this film to successfully gather the actresses of the three major European film festivals and became Juliet. The second person after Binoche.
Zhang Manyu is the top actress in the world, and she is not surprised to win the actress, which actually does not set off Li Shengyao's awesomeness.
But then Lee Shengyao won the best director, so I have to say that Lee Shengyao has two brushes.
As soon as the news came out, domestic public opinion instantly turned.
It used to be 60 percent media touting, now it's 99 percent media.
There are also one percent of the media that don't tout, they just want to be maverick and blog traffic.
Whether it is the official media, the self-media, or the netizens who surf with their mobile phones, they are all boasting at this time, not praising money.
In addition, there is another group that is praised very seriously, and this group is the students of the directing department and the choreography and directing department of major art colleges and universities in China.
Not only Li Shengyao's "alma mater" is praised in the play, but also Nortel, Communication University, and Shangju.
Of course, the most serious school, which requires students to boast of flowers, is naturally Chinese opera.
In the past, there were no big-name directors in Chinese opera, and they were not comparable to Nortel's old Mouzi, Brother Kaizi, and Section Chief Jia.
Now that Li Shengyao is out, there is finally a director who can take his hand.
Chinese opera is very serious, and the principal organized a meeting to announce that he would learn from Li Shengyao's creative spirit and hold a Li Shengyao film seminar.
Then the students of the directing department and the choreography and directing department were tasked to write a film essay of no less than 10,000 words on Lee Shengyao's film, which will be submitted next Wednesday.
"The main thing is to study Li Shengyao's films, don't think that this is bureaucracy, formalism, you learn well, and you will benefit for life."
In the midst of the students' lamentation, the dean of education personally gave the task.
Bell bell bell!
Class is over, and it has entered autumn at this time, and the weather in Yanjing is a little cooler than before.
There were a little more fallen leaves on the road than usual.
Facing the autumn wind swaying from side to side, Wu Lizhi slowly walked out of the classroom.
The classmates were discussing how to write a paper on Li Shengyao, Wu Lizhi pouted, and then ran out quickly.
After a while, Wu Lizhi came to the teaching building of the acting department, he took out his mobile phone, turned on the selfie mode, sorted out his clothes, touched his hair, and then showed a most handsome smile.
"Old Wu, are you waiting for Bai Fumei?"
"Lao Wu, do you still want to eat soft rice?"
The two classmates passed by and saw Wu Lizhi's appearance, and immediately laughed and joked.
Wu Lizhi waved his hand in disgust, "Get out, Lao Tzu is true love, and there is soft rice." ”
The two classmates glanced at Wu Lizhi contemptuously and turned to leave.
"The toad wants to eat swan meat."
"It's really a laughing death, I look so ugly and I want to be a rich woman."
The voice of the classmate was not small, and Wu Lizhi glared in shame when he heard their words.
After waiting for about half an hour, Wu Lizhi was a little tired of standing, and the acting class was finally out of school.
I saw a group of handsome men and beautiful women walking out of the acting class.
The appearance of these people is indeed very high, much higher than Wu Lizhi.
Wu Lizhi is 1.72 meters, with a medium appearance and an ordinary figure, the only thing that is special is that his eyes are relatively bright, and he has a bit of a starry eye.
Originally, there were only sixty points of appearance, and with those eyes, there could be sixty-five points.
It was these eyes that gave Wu Lizhi confidence, and he felt that his appearance could be rated as nine.
Wu Lizhi stretched his neck to look over, and soon saw the person he liked.
It was a girl who was 1.7 meters tall, had long hair, and looked very demure, her name was Qiao Xin.
Just like what other classmates discussed, Qiao Xin is a real Bai Fumei, driving a sports car to school, her family has a big villa in Yanjing, and she usually uses luxury goods.
However, Wu Lizhi didn't want to eat soft rice, he chased Qiao Xin, just to covet her body.
A manly husband can be lustful, and he must not eat soft rice.
"Qiao Xin, let's go eat together."
Qiao Xin noticed Wu Lizhi and shook his head, "Forget it, I have an appointment with my classmates." ”
"Let's go together, I can tell you about the course of the director's class."
Qiao Xin likes beautiful men, she doesn't like boys like Wu Lizhi, but she has been very interested in the director class recently, and Wu Lizhi relies on this to have more opportunities to talk to Qiao Xin.
Sure enough, hearing Wu Lizhi's words, Qiao Xin nodded.
Soon after, a group of students arrived in the school cafeteria.
Qiao Xin randomly beat two servings of vegetables, one shredded cabbage and one carrot.
Wu Lizhi has a lot of dishes, including stir-fried chicken with green peppers, spicy shredded potatoes, and a fried fish.
After sitting down, Wu Lizhi ate while talking about the interesting things of today's director's class.
Qiao Xin's family has money, and learning acting is really an interest, and he definitely doesn't want to make money.
She has already acted, but her performance is still not good enough, she can only say that her talent is average, and her ceiling is limited.
Her teacher suggested that she have time to look at the teaching materials in the director's class and try to see the actors' performances from the director's point of view.
So Qiao Xin began to pay attention to the situation of the director class.
After eating a fish and eating all the chicken, Wu Lizhi finished talking about today.
At the end of the day, I want to write a paper on Lee Shengyao.
Wu Lizhi pursed his lips again and said to Qiao Xin: "The teachers in our school are really shameless, Li Shengyao is obviously not a student of Chinese opera, but he is involved in Chinese opera."
His luck was really good, so he just made a few movies with seven or eight points, and he became a god all of a sudden.
There are really no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are the kings.
The old batch of directors have retired, and there are no outstanding people in the new generation, and Li Shengyao has become the leader. ”
Wu Lizhi has always been dissatisfied with the kneeling and licking of Li Shengyao in Chinese opera, and he feels that the school has no bottom line.
As for Li Shengyao, he also doesn't think much of it.
He felt that Lee Shengyao's films were too commercial, not literary enough, and had almost zero role in promoting film art.
Qiao Xin has fewer dishes, less rice, and slow eating, chewing and swallowing slowly, she has to keep in shape.
At this time, she still hadn't finished eating, and when she heard Wu Lizhi's words, her face was a little ugly, and then she put down her chopsticks, "Wu Lizhi, you are really interesting." ”
"This ...... What's wrong? ”
Noticing that Qiao Xin's tone was wrong, Wu Lizhi asked puzzled.
"What kind of person are you, look down on this, look down on that, what achievements do you have, do you deserve to be compared with Li Shengyao, people like you are so old that they have started to shoot TV series, or a TV series with a national rating of seven o'clock, what qualifications do you have to mock people for being a tiger in the mountains?"
Qiao Xin doesn't like Li Shengyao's movies very much, especially in recent years, such as "1937" and "Parasite", she thinks it's too serious.
But she likes the TV series made by Lee Shengyao very much, especially those idol dramas.
It can be said that the reason why she is interested in acting is that she wants to act in idol dramas.
Now that Wu Lizhi is making a lot of nonsense about the director she approves, she naturally can't stand it.
As a rich woman who has no pressure to survive, she will not hold it in her heart.
When Wu Lizhi heard this, he was immediately unconvinced and said: "I have no platform, no funds, if I have start-up capital, then I am better than him, and the drama I shoot will be better."
"You are really hopeless, and you still think you are excellent......"
Qiao Xin was too lazy to listen to Wu Lizhi's beep, she planned not to chat with Wu Lizhi in the future, "You take a good look in the mirror, say all day long that if you work hard, you will be awesome."
You are just wishful thinking, obviously mediocre, but you want to make excuses for your incompetence.
Not doing well in class, not self-disciplined, not introspective.
You have a hard mouth all over your body, and it's a waste of time to talk to someone like you, so don't look for me in the future. ”
After the words fell, Qiao Xin strode away with the rice bowl.
She spoke quite loudly, and the surrounding classmates heard it, no one spoke for Wu Lizhi, everyone was watching the joke, obviously they all agreed with Qiao Xin's words.
Wu Lizhi wanted to refute, but saw that Qiao Xin had already left.
He was irritable and packed up the rice bowl, and then he was going to wash the rice bowl, and just came to the side of the pool, the ground was slippery, and he accidentally fell, and most of his clothes were wet.
Wu Lizhi didn't expect that he would be so embarrassed, so he threw away the rice bowl, and then strode away.
At this time, the sky is much darker, and the cool autumn breeze is blowing faintly.
The yellow leaves fell, clattered to the ground, and then were rolled up again, blowing everywhere, very messy.
Seeing this, Wu Lizhi was even more annoyed.
He couldn't help but think of the words of the goddess Qiao Xin, he had never doubted himself in the past, but this time he was a little hesitant.
"Am I mediocre in talent?"
"Am I not a genius?"
"Am I really inferior to Li Shengyao?"
Because he didn't like the school's bureaucracy and formalistic style, Wu Lizhi was disgusted when he heard Li Shengyao, who was very fond of the school leaders.
He has never watched Lee Shengyao's works seriously, and when he sees Lee Shengyao's movies and TV series, he dismisses them and sneers at them.
So is Li Dadao really like this?
Do you want to abandon your prejudice and study Lee Shengyao seriously?
Wu Lizhi thought about it, and still planned to take a good look at Li Shengyao's works.
It can be regarded as an explanation to Qiao Xin, to see if he doesn't know the height of the sky, or if Qiao Xin's words are wrong.
He then went to a rented house outside the school.
This rental room was rented by his brother Wu Liren, and he asked for a room.
Wu Liren, who is five years older than him, already works and is now the editor of a magazine media in Yanjing.
Wu Lizhi returned to the rental room and saw Wu Liren sitting on the sofa, watching videos at station B and taking notes at the same time.
"Brother, what are you writing?"
"Write a manuscript."
Wu Lizhi walked over and found that Wu Liren was watching Li Shengyao's introduction video.
"You want to write about Lee Shengyao?"
Wu Liren's face stiffened slightly, he has always disliked Li Shengyao very much, and he has written a lot of articles about Li Shengyao before.
But now that the editor-in-chief wants to read the article of Kua Li Shengyao, he has to open Station B, look for some videos of Kua Li Shengyao, and then copy a few paragraphs to piece together a new article.
It's still a bit embarrassing to say such a thing in front of my younger brother.
When Wu Lizhi saw his brother's face, he immediately understood that his guess was not wrong.
He had read Wu Liren's article about Hei Li Shengyao before, but he didn't expect that now that public opinion has reversed, the sunspot is about to become a dog's leg.
Wu Lizhi felt a little strange, he shook his head, and then went back to the room.
Closing the door, Wu Lizhi immediately turned on the computer, searched the collection of Li Shengyao's works, and soon found a series of TV series and movies.
Wu Lizhi thought about it, clicked on the highest-scoring "Please Answer 1988", and then watched it carefully.
I couldn't see it, from seven o'clock to three o'clock in the morning.
It wasn't until his eyes hurt and his stomach growled that he came back to his senses, he was stunned, thinking of the touching and funny plot of the TV series, and couldn't help but search for information related to "Please Answer 1988".
He soon saw that Lee Shengyao was the director of the TV series and the screenwriter of the TV series.
"Is it so awesome? The script of this TV series is not simple. ”
For the first time, Wu Lizhi felt that Li Shengyao was not simple.
He has not been able to write essays since he was a child, let him write scripts, at most write idol dramas, and period dramas like "Please Answer 1988" are really not good.
"Am I really wrong?"
Wu Lizhi sighed, and then went to bed.
The following weekend, he watched the dramas at home, "Please Answer 1988", "My Uncle", and "Signal".
A period drama, an urban drama, and a criminal investigation drama.
The scripts of these three dramas are very awesome.
Wu Lizhi was really convinced at this time, not to mention the level of the director, he couldn't catch up with the ability to write scripts in eight lifetimes.
On Sunday night, I thought I would have to hand in my papers next week.
He was in a hurry, and found that his brother was still copying the views of Station B, so he couldn't help but walk over, "Brother, you can't copy it like this, can't netizens see it?" ”
"I can see a hammer."
Wu Liren was a little proud, "Brother, Li Shengyao is an all-rounder, the scripts of his works are all written by himself, and his films and TV series, whether it is the idea, story structure, shooting, editing, and post-production, are all full marks."
There is no need to study at all, and direct praise is that all the content and all aspects can be praised.
If you praise other people, there may be people who pick on them, like Lao Mouzi, some people say that he can't tell stories.
There is absolutely no praise for Li Shengyao, this guy is so awesome, and there are almost no shortcomings. ”
Is it so awesome?
Wu Lizhi thought about it sideways and found that this was really the case.
So Li Shengyao is indeed very powerful, and he is not as good as Li Dadao.
Alas, the goddess was right.
Alas, both Shengyu and He Shengliang.
