A scorching sun hung high in the sky, the sun was scorching, and it didn't take three minutes to stand under the sun and sweat all over your body.

In the pediatric hospital of Jingcheng District, Yanjing, the cough is constant.

The weather outside is hot and the temperature is high, and the air conditioner at home is on and the temperature is low.

In such a contrast, children are prone to catching colds when they come home after exercising outside.

Li Shengyao's son caught a cold, coughed incessantly, and his body was still hot, which frightened Chen Hao.

After the blood test, the examination report showed that the throat was inflamed, it was bronchitis, and the inflammation was more severe.

At this time, Chen Hao took the child to do atomization, and in order to prevent the child from making trouble, he also took out the tablet to show him cartoons.

Li Shengyao stood to the side, smiling, looking at everything normal, but actually mentally exhausted.

He went to the beautiful country to sign a contract with Warner Pictures, selected three important actors, and then returned to China.

First of all, he arranged for the film crew to go to the beautiful country to connect with the people on the Warner side and discuss how many beautiful country field workers and actors to recruit.

Then he went around Southeast Asia, visited seven countries in a row, and held talks with senior officials of various countries.

The purpose is to promote the overseas video website - Fenghua Online.

He met with the ministers of culture of several countries and promised to invest as much as he could in the cultural industry.

When he returned to China, there were also many activities in the country.

In particular, Fenghua Online's going to sea has been highly recognized by the above, and he has participated in several commendation conferences in a row.

Even though it's all good, he's really tired.

In addition, Chen Hao was pregnant with a second child, so Li Shengyao pushed down the agreement with Da Mi Mi and accompanied Chen Hao at home, but he didn't expect his son to be sick.

As a parent, I really can't see the uncomfortable appearance of a child.

"Ahem! Cough! Cough! Cough! ”

The child coughed very frequently, and Li Shengyao and Chen Hao couldn't eat when they heard this coughing sound.

After two days of nebulization, it was better, and the cough was not so frequent.

Li Shengyao noticed that there were a lot of sick children in the hospital, and when his son was done with atomization, he said to Chen Hao: "Let's buy a nebulizer ourselves." ”

"Okay, buy one yourself, you don't have to come and wait."

The two of them then took the child home, the child was taken by the nanny, and Chen Hao went to rest.

Li Shengyao came to the study, although it was the time for him to settle down and accompany Chen Hao, but there were still some things to deal with.

The film crew went to the beautiful country, and there were still some things that he needed to decide.

Li Shengyao opened the mailbox, and sure enough, he saw several emails, all of which were matters that he needed to decide.

He read it carefully, and then replied one by one.

After he finished replying to the email, he subconsciously looked at the time, and then left the study, found the child, took his temperature, and saw that there was no fever, so he was relieved.

He then went to the master bedroom to secretly observe Chen Hao's condition, and saw that he was sleeping, and this worry finally disappeared.

Li Shengyao then returned to the study, and then took a general look at the recent events.

As a well-known director, he is often asked all kinds of questions, not only in the entertainment industry, but also in social events.

He adheres to the principle that there is no right to speak without investigation, and he generally does not evaluate, but he will still say a few words about some things.

There was nothing to say about the summer of 2014, and there were no major events in society and internationally.

In the entertainment industry, Da Mi Mi is definitely the actress with the highest traffic this summer.

"The Legend of the Ancient Sword" was a big hit, attracting a lot of fans for her.

In addition, "The Breakup Master" was released, "Small Times 34" was released, and three movies were released in one summer, with a total box office of more than one billion.

Da Mi Mi has become the hottest actress.

Jiaxing has also risen step by step, producing several TV series, although the word-of-mouth score is not good, but it can attract fans, with high popularity and high topicality.

As for Hollywood, it was Warner who was beaten and Disney was unlimited.

"Edge of Tomorrow" can't make money, and Tom Cruise can't bring Warner, which makes Warner a laughing stock this summer.

And Disney relies on superhero movies to harvest box office around the world.

The New York Times counted the five movies that lost the most in the first half of the year, and also counted the five most profitable movies in the first half of the year.

The first place is "Guardians of the Galaxy", the cost of this movie is 170 million, and the North American box office is 300 million.

In the past, the vast majority of people recognized Disney first and Warner second.

But in the past two or three years, Warner has fallen too badly.

Because of Warner's poor performance, it even affected Lee Shengyao to a certain extent, and more beautiful audiences were not optimistic about "Joker" because of Warner, and wanted to stop the production of "Joker".

Even some friends in the Chinese-speaking entertainment industry think that Lee Shengyao can suspend his cooperation with Warner, saying that he should not let Warner's bad luck implicate him.

Li Shengyao naturally didn't believe such words.

At this time, he watched the news on the computer, watched it for a while, and then searched for "Joker", and saw a lot of negative comments, it seems that the public opinion in the beautiful country has spread to the mainland.

……

Lee Shengyao has a special itinerary today, he is going to participate in a talk show.

The host is not Lu Datou, not Li Jing, not Zhu Jun, but Yi Lijing, who has recently become famous.

This woman is now the top name of Southern Weekly, and the interview she does claims to be unscripted, just to get to the heart of the guest's question.

Li Shengyao has no masochistic tendencies, he never wanted to participate in Yi Lijing's show, but Southern Weekly gave a lot of benefits, and Li Shengyao agreed.

In the morning, he accompanied Chen Hao at home until ten o'clock, and the company's car came to pick him up, so he went to the recording site of "Easy to See", and then met Yi Lijing.

This is a fierce-looking woman, wearing a pair of glasses, and when she looks at the others, her eyes are wide open, as if she is asking a teacher.

The assistant reminded Li Shengyao not to get angry during the interview and not to worry about Yi Lijing.

When Yi Lijing is weird with yin and yang, don't follow with yin and yang, so as not to appear low.

The assistant is still nervous.

Li Shengyao is natural, except for emotional problems, he is very frank about any other issues.

Yi Lijing saw Li Shengyao and secretly sighed that Li Shengyao was so young and looked like a star.

However, Li Shengyao's mental state is not very good, and he can see that he is a little tired.

It is said that Li Dadao has participated in various interviews before, and he has been able to deal with them easily, and Yi Lijing wants to break this record today, and she wants to make Li Shengyao lose his temper.

Making celebrities lose their temper has become her biggest hobby.

Sometimes she lies in the bed, thinking of a certain star being irritated by her and being speechless when she asks, she is very excited, more excited than sleeping with a handsome guy.

Lee will be the biggest director she's ever interviewed.

She has done a lot of homework on this, and she believes that this time she will make Lee Shengyao ugly.

Soon after, the interview officially began.

The makeup artist had just put on Lee Shengyao's makeup, and he looked even more handsome.

Yi Lijing was in a trance for a moment, and then secretly bit his tongue to make himself more energetic, and then calmly greeted Li Shengyao.

After a few words of greeting, Yi Lijing couldn't wait to ask, "Director Li, can I ask you some sensitive questions?" ”

Li Shengyao smiled, "It depends on the situation, I will answer if I can answer, if I can't answer, I won't answer." ”

Yi Lijing nodded, "Is it convenient to answer your new movie?" You look tired, this is a state that I haven't been in before, I used to see the news of Ling, you are all in good spirits, is your current state because of the new movie? ”

Li Shengyao smiled and shook his head, "It's not because of the new movie, I've been running around lately, going around Southeast Asia, and I'm very tired when I'm flying around." ”

Li Shengyao looked calm and replied very calmly.

Yi Lijing frowned slightly, but she was not in a hurry, she prepared a lot of questions.

"Oh, then have you heard that "Joker" was boycotted by more than 20,000 people in the beautiful country?"

In the beautiful country, there are more and more netizens who boycott "Joker" with their real names, and maybe after a while, there will be 30,000 people.

"I've heard that."

"Are you worried?"

Li Shengyao glanced at Yi Lijing, "I can't say I'm worried, I can understand the thoughts of those clown fans, they are just worried that the role of the clown will be ruined, empathy, if I don't understand the theme of the movie "Joker", combined with the recent situation of Warner, I will also worry that this theme will not be filmed well." ”

When Yi Lijing heard this, he was slightly stunned.

Aren't you really worried?

Or pretend to be strong in front of me.

She raised her eyebrows to bring herself back to her senses a little, and then said, "I heard that you didn't invest in the "Joker" movie this time. ”

Li Shengyao nodded, "Yes, I didn't invest." ”

"In the past, you were the owner of your own films, but this time you didn't invest in them, why is that? You don't believe Warner? Or are you not optimistic that "Joker" will be profitable?"

It's true that I don't believe Warner, but such a thing cannot be discussed publicly.

Li Shengyao smiled, "It's not that I don't believe in Warner, and it's not that I don't like "Joker", the main thing is that Joker is a character in DC Comics, and it is a movie character that belongs to Warner.

Since we cooperate, there must always be people who have to sacrifice and retreat.

In the past, I was the owner of the films I made, but this time it is different because the partner is more special than the cooperation project, so I did not ask for an investment share, and I hope that this adjustment can make our cooperation more intimate. ”

The official cliché is so obvious.

Lee is still very calm.

Yi Lijing was a little angry in her heart, and now it seemed that the questions she had prepared were useless.

"Director Li, then your new movie this time only occupies 30% of the copyright, is this also your concession?"

"It's not a concession, it's the way it should be.

The copyright of the clown originally belonged to DC Comics, but now it is transferred to Warner Pictures, and I can get 30% of the copyright, which is already an endorsement of me. ”

"But you owned at least 60% of the copyright of your previous movies, don't you feel dissatisfied with making so many concessions this time?"

"No, I'm actually very realistic, I know how much I can fight for."

Seeing this, Yi Lijing was even more unhappy, and then said: "I have noticed the current public opinion, and many netizens talk about your movie, and they say that it is a literary film.

I don't think it's interesting, it's another routine.

Do you yourself agree with such a statement? ”

"I don't approve of it, I think it's okay, the movies I make actually have relatively heavy commercial attributes, and I think the themes are okay.

If you are a friend who likes movies, you will like my movies. ”

Li Shengyao still looks light-hearted.

Yi Lijing noticed that the other staff members were frowning and watching.

The highlight of their show is that the guests break the defense, if the guests don't react, then their show is not interesting.

"Then do you worry about being abandoned by the audience?"

"No, I've always thought that if you have as much ability, you can do as much as you can.

If my film doesn't appeal to younger audiences, then I should step back and let a better director take over.

I see this very clearly and calmly. ”

Li Shengyao smiled back, he really didn't care about this.

After all, when there was nothing to copy, he disappeared.

At that time, people will only regret that he will not make a new movie, and no one will say that he is exhausted.

"Then have you carefully observed the domestic box office rankings in recent years, the previous movies, 230 million is very powerful, and they can rank in the top three of the year.

Slowly, the box office of the movie has increased year by year, 560 million, and now the top three of the year are at least 1 billion, your movie box office has not increased much, your current movies, the highest is only 400 million, and the box office is not as good as Deng Chao's "Breakup Master", will you have a sense of crisis?

Now Deng Chao, Xu Zheng, Wu Jing, they have such a high box office.

And you're still at the same level as before, are you worried? ”

Li Shengyao thought for a while and said slowly: "Regarding this issue, I have seriously considered it a long time ago.

I was thinking about whether I should continue to make blockbuster commercial films, or make films that can win awards and have both business and art.

In the end, I chose the latter, and I won two Palme d'Or and then three Best Director awards.

I don't regret this choice, I wouldn't worry.

As for Xu Zheng and Deng Chao, they are now high at the box office, I sincerely wish them, and I look forward to them making better movies in the future. ”

No matter what he asked, Lee Shengyao was very calm, even if it was about "Joker" not being good in a beautiful country, Lee Shengyao didn't care.

Yi Lijing was a little numb.

She wasn't sure if Lee Shengyao was such a person, and no matter what she said, she couldn't shake his confidence.

She felt that Li Shengyao had now reached another level, and she was a little embarrassed, and then asked the question that she thought was the most lethal.

"Director Li, you are so confident in "Joker", do you think the box office of "Joker" can exceed 100 million in a beautiful country? Can this movie make money? Can you make a win at the Oscars? Can you silence those critics? ”

When Li Shengyao heard this, he shook his head, "I'm not sure if I can make a breakthrough at the Oscars, and I'm not sure if the critics will like it."

But I believe that it can exceed 100 million and make money. ”

"Is that true?"

Li Shengyao glanced at Yi Lijing, "Of course it's true." ”

"Are you sure?"

"I'm pretty sure I have faith in Joker."

Soon after, the interview ended, and Mr. Lee left with his assistant.

"Boss, you're so good, no matter how you ask, you won't be angry."

"What's so angry about this, she's just a good mouth, don't take her seriously, everyone can deal with it.

I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about the extreme clown fans of the pretty country, who can make trouble on the set. ”
