Chapter 604: Oscar's Invitation

Li Shengyao is not an actor, but he often reports, and there are quite a few people who know him.

As for the big power, it is even more needless to say, it is on fire at this time.

The two of them are going out for supper, so naturally they have to dress up.

Mr. Lee put on a cap and a mask.

Da Mi Mi changed his clothes, put on an ordinary sweatshirt, and paired it with jeans and sneakers, just like a college student.

Of course, hats and masks are a must.

She said that she knew the authentic Yanjing delicacy and wanted to take Li Shengyao to taste it.

Li Shengyao naturally doesn't care.

Soon after, they came to a night snack stall in Xuanwu District, and Da Mi Mi ordered a few dishes, boiled them, and barbecued.

Then he found a corner and sat down.

There are not many customers at this night food stall, so Da Mi Mi took off his mask and said in a low voice: "There are many foreigners around here, and those foreigners don't know us, so don't be so careful."

Li Shengyao smiled, "You don't have any popularity outside, I'm different, I'm an international director." ”

Da Mi Mi rolled his eyes, got up to set the dishes for Li Shengyao, washed the chopsticks, and poured him a cup of tea.

"Brother, I can't stand in the film industry, is it true?"

Li Shengyao raised the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Look at how you define it, with your popularity, there will definitely be no shortage of movies, but in the eyes of the audience, you are mainly a TV drama actor, and no one thinks you are a movie actor." ”

"Why?"

"Didn't I say it, after the "Little Times" tetralogy is filmed, you will be synonymous with bad movies in the future."

Da Mi Mi frowned, then pulled a chair and moved closer to Li Shengyao.

"Isn't "Little Times" very good, the first two have a box office of more than 600 million.

Guo Biting, Guo Caijie and they used to be transparent people in the mainland, but they suddenly became well-known by relying on their childhood. ”

She still doesn't understand why the box office is high, but she can't be popular.

"You still said that "The Breakup Master" is not good, I think it's very good, at the premiere, the laughter didn't stop."

She then took out her mobile phone and quickly searched for news related to "Breakup Master".

"You see the news of the premiere came out, there were several hot searches, and many film critics gave good reviews.

There is also news of the premiere schedule, and the major theaters are optimistic about "The Breakup Master", and they have raised the schedule for the first day of the movie. ”

When Li Shengyao heard this, he looked at Da Mi Mi quietly, and when she finished speaking, he said, "What else?"

"There are also movies and TV series that are almost the same, I don't think there is any difference, I can adapt to it."

Her voice was a little louder, with a bit of stubbornness in her tone, "I'll work hard, why can't I develop in the film industry." ”

Li Shengyao smiled, and then unceremoniously struck: "You haven't made a movie under a big director, of course you don't understand the difference between movie and TV series performance."

Let's just say that Zhang Manyu's long-shot interpretation of the face in "Sweet Honey", have you seen it in the TV series?

When you shoot "Little Times 12", you say it's a movie, but it's actually similar to the MV, just put on a few poses, and there are few coherent expressions.

If you haven't made a good movie, don't think that movies and TV series are a class of art. ”

Hearing this, Da Mi Mi glared at Li Shengyao, "Okay, even if I am wrong, movies are more demanding than TV series, doesn't that mean that if I act in "Little Times", I can't develop in the film industry, right?" ”

"After acting in four "Little Times", how else can you develop, you are not Zhang Manyu, once transformed, you evolved into a top acting school."

"Where's Bingbing? She has so much black material, doesn't she still have a foothold in the film industry. ”

Bingbing's success has influenced many actresses.

Blanket stars, black and red, have all become the road to fame for other actresses to learn.

When Li Shengyao heard this, he was surprised and said, "It turns out that you thought that Zhu Bingbing was very successful."

"Isn't it?"

Li Shengyao put down the teacup, and then said: "The most famous role of Zhu Bingbing should still be the golden lock.

She is in the film industry, to put it nicely, there is a Tokyo actress, there is a little splash, in fact, she doesn't have a movie worth showing off, the bigwigs in the industry, who cares about the Tokyo actress?

The Shanghai Film Festival and the Tokyo Film Festival are both self-entertaining film festivals, and movies like "Guanyin Mountain" can show off their might, which is not interesting.

If you let "Sight and Hearing" and "Movie Manual" rank it, "Guanyin Mountain" can't get into the top two hundred of the year.

There's really nothing to say about such a movie.

I won't talk about Zhang Manyu and Gong Li.

Yan Bingyan's status in the film industry is higher than that of Zhu Bingbing, and a "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" killed her. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Every time there is a movie, Zhu Bingbing has a very high reputation, but she has no box office appeal.

Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun both have "Painted Skin 12", but Zhu Bingbing has no such movie.

The reason why she keeps making movies is because there are people behind her, plus she will come to things, and she has connections in the mainland and Hong Kong Island.

She drinks a lot of alcohol and can accompany investors to drink back and forth a few times. ”

At this time, a waiter served the food, the first dish was hot and sour fish, Li Shengyao picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish, "She is not successful, and even if she is at this level, you can't reach it." ”

"Can't I?"

When Da Mi Mi heard Li Shengyao's words, she also felt that Zhu Bingbing was very average in the film industry, but she didn't expect that she couldn't reach this level.

"Of course not, I said, she will come to the matter, there are connections in the mainland and Hong Kong circles, and there are still people who praise her, do you have it?"

Li Shengyao spat out a thorn, and then said: "Although I think her film achievements are average, it must be no problem to hang you."

Her acting skills are better than yours, and she is more dedicated than you.

"Zhao's Orphan" had put on makeup early, and Brother Kaizi stared at her all morning.

As for you, you are rolling dramas everywhere, and you are not serious about making Kai Zige's movies. ”

Speaking of Chen Shiren, Da Mi Mi's face couldn't hold back.

"I know, brother, don't talk about it."

Li Shengyao didn't answer, and at this moment, there were several young people chatting at a table next to him.

""The Breakup Master" will be released in a few days, do you want to watch it? Our unit has increased votes, and I got three. ”

"Da Mi Mi is the female lead, watch a few handfuls, isn't "Little Times" disgusting enough?"

The unceremonious evaluation was not only heard by Li Shengyao Da Mi Mi, but also by the customers at other tables.

No one felt that there was a problem.

Seeing this, a trace of loss flashed in Da Mi Mi's eyes.

Li Shengyao did not comfort him, and continued to eat.

This night snack stall specializes in Sichuan cuisine, which is quite fragrant, and Li Shengyao and Da Mi Mi have a mouthful of chatting next, mainly eating vegetables.

Forty minutes later, Da Mi Mi touched his little belly, then put on his mask, and caught a glimpse of the young man at the table next to him who had not left.

She couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Brother, am I really not developing in the film industry?"

"Wait, I'll tell you about the opportunity in a few years."

"Then don't lie to me."

"What are you lying about?"

The two then left the supper stall together, and Li Shengyao asked, "Do you want to tell you tonight?"

Da Mi Mi was wearing a hat and mask, only revealing a pair of fox eyes, which seemed to be more sensitive.

If you can change into a nurse's outfit, it will feel even more.

When she heard Li Shengyao's words, she hesitated slightly, she wanted to hang Li Shengyao and ask him to give her advice.

She has followed Li Shengyao's advice and bought the copyright of "The Legend of the Ancient Sword" and is filming.

So is it better to continue to hang next, or to give some sweetness?

If a man gets it, will he cherish it?

But Li Shengyao is a big director, not an ordinary turtle man, there is no benefit, and he will definitely not fall into it.

Li Shengyao saw Da Mi Mi hesitating, and waved his hand, "Forget it, I'll go back, and I'll go to the beautiful country in two days to save some physical strength." ”

When Da Mi Mi heard this, he once again thought of the high-spirited Li Dadao at the Venice Film Festival, and finally made up his mind.

"Brother, wait for me, you tell me tonight."

is in his thirties, so he shouldn't have any strength, so he should have a ten-minute drip.

Backbite!

...... during the injection

"The Breakup Master" has to be promoted in the past half a month, and in order to cooperate with the crew's publicity, Da Mi Mi has already set the alarm clock on her mobile phone, and the alarm bell rang at half past six, and she sat up suddenly.

Seeing Li Shengyao lying on the side, he patted his forehead speechlessly, and then got up in a hurry.

I thought that the old man in his thirties would not be able to do it.

As a result, she tossed from eleven o'clock to two o'clock in the morning, and when she got up, she found that her legs were numb.

After washing, Da Mi Mi hurriedly got dressed.

At this time, Li Shengyao opened his eyes.

"Dead, it's not your wife, you don't feel distressed, right?"

"Don't you cross the river and tear down the bridge, aren't you happy?"

Da Mi Mi pouted, and then walked over, "Don't forget what you promised me, you will guide me in the future." ”

"I can't forget it."

Li Shengyao stretched out his hand and patted it, and it snapped, full of elasticity.

……

Li Shengyao has discussed with Han Sanping the premiere day of "Three Billboards", and has also discussed the publicity plan with Zhang Manyu and Ren Dahua.

Regarding the box office of this movie, he watched it very openly.

"Three Billboards" is not a pure cool film, there is no big scene, and it is unlikely to arouse widespread empathy.

If this movie can have a box office of 30 million, it is considered good.

He has no box office pressure.

He planned that the film would be released at the end of September, and then it would be handed over to Zhang Manyu and Ren Dahua for promotion, and he would let go of himself and prepare for the start of "La La Land" wholeheartedly.

It can be said that preparations for "La La Land" have been in place since last year, and all preparations have been made.

But Lee still has a lot of work to do.

He was quite busy, and won the Best Director at the Venice Film Festival, but he didn't have much publicity in China.

At this time, it stands to reason that he should race against time, but he still needs to find time to go to Los Angeles, a beautiful country, because the China Magnesium Film Festival has started, and he is a special guest.

As you can tell from the name, the China Magnesium Film Festival is a film festival composed of Chinese and beautiful Chinese films.

It is said that in the first edition, only seven films participated.

This year is the ninth year, and the number of participating films has been increased to 150, of which 140 are Chinese films, and there are about 10 in the beautiful country.

There is no doubt that this is a film festival that gives pork to Chinese films.

The organizers are Shanghai Film, China Film, Radio and Television, and Eagle Dragon Media Company in the beautiful country, and the owner of this company is a three-generation immigrant.

This third-generation is still quite discerning, immigrated to a beautiful country, and did not forget to organize the Chinese, bought a few radio stations in Los Angeles, and also set up a pay TV station, and usually broadcast some Chinese film and television dramas.

In 2005, I engaged in this China Magnesium Film Festival, and I contacted Shangying, China Film, Changying, Huaxia, Radio and Television, and had a wide range of contacts.

In short, this is someone in the entertainment industry who is unwilling to provoke.

Not only is Li Shengyao going to Los Angeles, Lao Mouzi and Kaizi will also go over.

Li Shengyao can imagine the expressions of Lao Mouzi and Brother Kaizi when they received the invitation.

So on the same plane as Lao Mouzi and Kai Zige, Li Shengyao rushed to Los Angeles.

Then I slept in the hotel, but I had a good jet lag, and the next day I put on a suit, and after the processing of the makeup artist, I planned to make an appearance and give an award to the related households.

The award venue of the China Magnesium Film Festival has always been in Los Angeles, and the award is called the Golden Angel Award.

At the awards ceremony, Han Sanping couldn't help but blush when she saw Li Shengyao's gaze in the past, but she still praised the film festival as an important display window for Chinese films and made great contributions to Chinese films going global.

Immediately afterward, the award ceremony officially began.

Although this award has the word "film festival", it will also award awards in the TV drama category.

Lee presented a Best Director award, which went to Zhao Yanzi.

Lao Mouzi presented the best film, and the winning film was "Guild Wars".

After the award ceremony, there was naturally a celebration banquet.

Li Shengyao, Lao Mouzi, and Brother Kaizi all went to participate, Brother Kaizi is in a beautiful state-owned property, and he plans to go to live at home for a few days after attending the celebration banquet.

Li Shengyao and Lao Mouzi planned to return to China as soon as possible.

Although the film festival was held in Los Angeles, next to Hollywood, there were no big Hollywood names coming, and at the celebration banquet, there were also a few strange magnesium countrymen.

The award-winning star artists were very happy, and Li Shengyao and Lao Mouzi felt embarrassed and couldn't wait to leave immediately.

Just as the celebration banquet was underway, a group of white-skinned and blue-eyed foreigners came over.

Lee knew several people, including Paramount, Warner, Disney, and people from Universal Business.

These people walked towards Li Shengyao in unison.

The person he is most familiar with, naturally, is Warner's Toby. Emmerich.

"Lee, it's not me who is looking for you tonight, it's Bill. McNick. ”

The cooperation between Fenghua and Warner and Cheng Long continues, and they have a "rescue" movie every year, steadily earning 200 million US dollars at the box office.

Lee and Toby have always been in contact.

Hearing this, he looked to the other side, Bill. McNick has a white beard, he has an ordinary appearance and a very average figure, but his eyes are very bright, which can be described as bright.

The eldest brother is the current president of the Academy of Oscars, was once the president of Fox, and was called the most successful executive of Fox by the media.

Lee Shengyao didn't understand what Bill was doing here, and the others didn't understand either, but the chairman of the Oscar Academy came over, and the cards were still very big.

"Lee, I'm glad you're here, I heard that you came over, I immediately pushed all the work, this honor, I want to share it with you face-to-face."

"What is it?"

Bill waved his hand, and his assistant stepped forward and handed over a letter of appointment.

"Lee, this is the appointment letter of the Oscar lifetime judges, please accept it, we need an excellent filmmaker like you to participate in the Oscars."

It turned out to be an Oscar jury mandate.

On the Internet, the Oscar judges are rendered amazing, but in fact there is nothing magical.

The Oscars have a total of about 2,200 judges, of which more than 1,100 are from beautiful countries, and more than 1,100 are from all over the world.

Chinese movies are still very important, and there are more than 90 people in the mainland, Hong Kong Island, and Wanwan combined, which should be the largest in Asia.

Like Wang Sunglasses, Section Chief Jia is a judge of the Oscars.

Of course, it is not unusual to have the Oscar chief seal come over in person to issue the letter of appointment.

Everyone else seems to be sending emails.

Lee Sheng Yao took the letter of appointment and hugged Bill gently, "Thank you, Mr. Zhuxi." ”

Bill shook his head, "Lee, we are very optimistic about you, we should have worked more closely together. ”

A group of people, led by Bill, then sat down.

Bill raised his wine glass, touched a glass with Li Shengyao, and said what he really thought, "Lee, participate in the Oscars, you have the strength to compete for the Oscars." ”
