China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 778 It's not my face that's being hit

"Then I'll donate two million too," said Liu Yifei.

“You don’t have to, I am the biggest investor and the biggest beneficiary of ‘Dying to Survive’.

This movie is about making money from Lu Yong's story. I made money from his story and then used part of it to do charity.

You didn’t get anything out of this movie.”

Li Yu looked at Liu Yifei and said.

“After watching the movie, I felt sorry for those patients.

He is only twenty years old. He just wants to survive. What crime has he committed?

I have been ill for three years and have been taking genuine medicine for three years. I have lost my house and bankrupted my family...

I remember these powerful lines clearly after watching the movie once.

I just want to help them, whatever I can.”

Liu Yifei said with some sympathy.

In Li Yu's impression, Liu Yifei had donated money many times, but the amount was not large.

However, he never morally blackmails others into donating how much they earn.

Donating is a voluntary act, not a compulsory act.

Donate only if you have the intention to do so. There is nothing wrong with not donating.

Because no one's money comes from the wind.

"It's up to you." Li Yu nodded and stopped persuading him.

The reason why Liu Yifei has been popular for so many years is not only because of his thick blood, but also other reasons.

Fans of other stars always use her American roots to discredit her.

In fact, as an American star, her values ​​and outlook on life are more positive than many domestic stars.

These words were not said by Li Yu.

Spokespersons of official departments have praised her as the contemporary Mulan and said that she is a true Chinese daughter.

"I'll talk to Lu Yong for you later."

Li Yu added.

"Or you can donate to relevant charitable organizations yourself."

"Why don't you tell Lu Yong for me? Didn't the crew of Medicine God donate two million? If I donate two million publicly, I'll offend people."

Liu Yifei shook his head repeatedly to indicate no.

One cannot make the same mistake twice.

She and her mother suffered losses in this regard in the past.

In 08, a seasoned man like Andy Lau donated yuan to a director couple who were on the scene.

He has high emotional intelligence and is very popular, so he donated 100,000 yuan and did not embarrass the director couple.

The team managed by her mother openly posted photos of her donating one million yuan.

The result can be imagined.

If it weren't for her thick blood, she might very well be another Wang Chuanjun.

Every failure makes you wiser. This time she learned her lesson.

Don't be so high-profile, do good things in a low-key manner.

It’s too high-profile. What will the crew of "Dying to Survive" think?
They donated two million to relieve the disaster because they were sued by Lu Yong.

You, Liu Yifei, donated two million just after watching a movie once.

In addition, Liu Yifei is very famous, which will definitely attract people's discussion.

If she is led by someone with ulterior motives again, she will offend more people.

There are too many people with ulterior motives.

The little flowers that usually stand together with her wish that she would cool down soon so that they can take her place.

Those fans of the young actress are also hoping that she will fade away soon.

In the following period of time, Li Yu worked as a director normally in the crew of "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

The people at Warner Bros. informed him in advance and asked him to attend the Oscars ceremony next March. With Warner Bros.'s efforts and the money offensive, it's hard to say whether "Barbie" can win an award, but it will definitely be nominated.

It will definitely not be like "Aquaman", which did not even get a nomination for Best Special Effects.

In addition to the Oscars, Hua Na also applied for many awards for Li Yu at once.

What about the Golden Globe Awards, the English Academy Awards, the Sakura Film Academy Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the Critics' Choice Movie Awards...

After all, this is a movie that grossed over 1 billion US dollars, so shouldn’t it achieve some success?

Some awards have been given out, and "Barbie" has received a lot of nominations for various major awards.

For example, the US Critics' Choice Awards also nominated "Barbie" for Best Director.

But the awards were for Best Song, Best Art Direction, and Best Costume Design.

These awards have little to do with Li Yu.

However, Li Yu was quite satisfied that he had been nominated for an Oscar.

He said to Liu Yifei: "Next March, if you have time, you can go to the United States with me."

"What are you going to the United States for?" Liu Yifei looked confused.

"Attend the Oscars ceremony, and let you, the leading actress of "Mulan" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City", show your face to promote the movies in advance. Both movies will be released next year."

Li Yu would not miss the opportunity to create hype for free.

Films directed by Chinese directors in Hollywood were nominated for Oscars.

The woman he brought with him to the Oscars was the actress who played Mulan.

Plus, Deshini also has a live-action version of Mulan.

This is big news both in China and in the United States.

"Your film is nominated for an Oscar?" Liu Yifei asked in surprise.

"That's about it. Warner has confirmed it to me. They didn't even give Aquaman a nomination for Best Visual Effects.

I don’t have any idea, but Warner and the special effects team of “Aquaman” couldn’t stand it anymore.

The quality of "Barbie" is also very high this time, and the script is much better than "Aquaman".

If you still don’t even give me a nomination, it won’t be a slap in my face.”

Li Yu said calmly.

The script is better than Aquaman, and it also has buffs such as feminism.

If she is still not even given a nomination, it would not be a slap in the face of Li Yu, but a slap in the face of Huana.

The judging methods for the Oscars and the three major European awards are different.

The three major European awards are judged by a jury composed of a few bigwigs, and the jury members change every session.

The funniest thing was that the year the King of Sunglasses served as a member of the Cannes jury, he directly divided the cake and gave out five Best Actor and six Best Actress awards, as if it were free.

Other people's maximum egg yolks are two, but he only has five or six.

Kick him out at the next session. Cannes will not allow such a powerful jury to exist.

If he were to serve on the jury for a few more years, there would be many best actor and actress winners, and his status would be completely lost.

The Oscars are voted for by more than 7,000 members.

It is in line with industry norms for producers to spend money lobbying these judges.

Professional lobbying companies were also born there. Their job was to help producers screen out judges who could be won over and arrange private screenings for them, and to constantly promote the films to them.

This is like Wang Po bragging about her own melons.

What's even more outrageous is that they know which film poses the greatest threat to their own film, and they send lobbying companies to the judges to throw mud on their opponents.

As long as you defeat your opponent, won’t you be able to win the prize easily?

A typical case is "Saving Private Ryan". Before the awards ceremony, competitors sent negative information about the film to the media and judges, causing the film to miss the Best Picture award.

"Shakespeare in Love", which threw mud at "Saving Private Ryan", won the Best Picture award and also won the Best Actress award.

For this time's "Barbie", Warner learned from the lessons of "Aquaman" and spent a lot of money to hire lobbying companies to help with the operation.

These two movies brought them huge profits, so they didn't need to hire a lobbying firm to make a small fortune. They are so rich.
