Huayu: Director started with art films

When Li Yishu and Gong Li entered the room, they naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

When the TV station's makeup artist saw Li Yishu coming, she quickly said, "Chairman Li!"

Li Xiaoran, who was sitting in front of the makeup mirror, heard the noise, turned around and was immediately dumbfounded.

This, this is Lee Ye-seo and Gong Li!!
As the most famous male director and actress in the country, anyone who pays attention to the film industry can basically recognize their identities.

Of course he knew Li Xiaoran, and what's more, she came to participate in the beauty pageant of Asia Television. How could he not know Li Yishu, the chairman of the board of directors of Asia Television?
"Director Li...Director Li!"

"Ms. Gong...Ms. Gong Li!"

Seeing Li Xiaoran excitedly standing up, Gong Li walked forward with a smile: "Don't be nervous, we are here just to see you, the Chinese beauty! Wow, you are so beautiful, no wonder Director Li said he had to come to see you."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoran looked at Li Yishu shyly, and then quickly said: "Ms. Gong, I'm not that pretty, I'm just lucky."

“This is not good luck.”

Gong Li waved her hand and said, "You were able to make it out of the hundreds of thousands of candidates, which shows that you have the strength and ability."

Li Yishu standing next to him nodded. Although he was surprised when he first saw Li Xiaoran win the championship in the newspaper, there were many beauties among the contestants participating in the finals at the same time.

Yang Gongru from Taiwan, Gong Xuehua who falsely reported her age and eventually withdrew from the competition, the Hong Kong mixed-race beauty Li Jiahui, Li Bingbing from Shanghai Theatre Academy, etc.

These are all future celebrities that Li Yishu has heard of or knows, and there are also several real amateur beauties that she has never heard of or seen.

The fact that Li Xiaoran was able to stand out from all these people and become one of the Chinese beauties to enter the Miss Asia finals this year only shows that she has the ability to do so.

Although the Miss Asia beauty pageant was held in a bit of a hurry, all the beauty standards are still followed according to the old standards.

But Li Xiaoran was able to pass the standards and win the Chinese championship. Even though she is not the most beautiful, she is definitely the best considering all the standards.

After all, she had participated in the China Division Finals and won the championship. After getting over the initial nervousness, Li Xiaoran gradually calmed down and thanked her generously and politely: "Thank you, Miss Gong."

Gong Li seemed to be very interested in Li Xiaoran, who looked so delicate and beautiful, and took the initiative to say, "There's no need to be so polite. Just call me Sister Gong Li."

"Okay...Okay, Sister Gong Li." Li Xiaoran hesitated for just a second and then immediately changed her words.

"now it's right."

Gong Li smiled, and suddenly realized that Li Yishu hadn't said anything. She turned around and saw that he had been staring at Li Xiaoran. She couldn't help but feel a little jealous:
"Xiao Ran, what I just said was right, right? Look at our Director Li, his eyes are almost popping out now."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoran looked up and saw that Li Yishu had been staring at her. Being stared at by this famous director who could only be seen on the news channel and in newspapers and weekly magazines, combined with Gong Li's words, it would be a lie to say that she was unhappy, but she was mostly a little shy.

Li Yishu didn't pay attention to Gong Li's words, but said to the makeup artist: "You need to change your makeup."

"what?"

The makeup artist looked at Li Yishu in surprise. She was just eating the big boss's gossip, wondering if the big boss was like those tycoons in the past and had taken a fancy to this new beauty, and when she was going to take her home. However, she didn't expect that she wanted to change her makeup.

"She has a thin, oval face and a rather elegant temperament. If you put light makeup on her, she will look particularly plain."

As a director, Li Yishu has some experience in makeup. Moreover, the various makeup techniques in later generations are much better than those of today. An ordinary woman can be transformed into a peerless beauty.

After hearing this, the makeup artist, who originally thought that the boss was trying to change the subject on purpose, had to admit that the boss was right after taking a look at Li Xiaoran's face shape and makeup.

It's a bit too plain. When the lights are turned on, the whole person will look particularly pale.

The makeup artist quickly asked, "Chairman Li, what do you think?"

"Heavy makeup."

Li Yishu looked at Li Xiaoran: "Today, there are two costume parts in the competition. Both the evening dress and the national costume are made up. I changed my previous image, with bright red lips and long wavy hair..."

Li Xiaoran's current image and temperament are similar to those of Jiang Shuying in her early years, both of them are following the style of a pretty Jiangnan girl.

Li Xiaoran also relied on this to pass the previous competition, but now it is the finals, with beauties from more than a dozen countries, including many mixed-race beauties that will make your eyes shine.

If you continue to follow this elegant and graceful style, it will be difficult to compete with these people.

In a beauty pageant, to put it bluntly, the first impression is the most important.

No matter how high your academic qualifications are, it is basically difficult to win the championship if you are ugly, not to mention that Li Xiaoran's academic qualifications are not high either.

Ten minutes later.

Under the guidance of Li Yishu, Li Xiaoran changed her previous elegant look of a Jiangnan girl. The flaming red lips and heavy makeup made her look less fresh and more cool.

"Yishu, you also know how to put on makeup?"

Seeing Li Xiaoran's drastic change, Gong Li looked at him in surprise.

"Come on, I'm the director." Li Yishu smiled and said, "If I don't know anything about makeup, how can I ask the makeup artist to make up the actors according to my requirements?"

Gong Li nodded in understanding. She had worked with many directors before, and almost every one of them had given instructions on the actors' makeup. The reason she was surprised just now was purely a subconscious reaction.

Seeing herself different from before, Li Xiaoran wanted to touch her face, but was afraid that her makeup would be ruined.

Suddenly remembering that this was the makeup that Director Li personally instructed, she immediately turned around and thanked him, "Thank you, Director Li."

Li Yishu smiled as a response to the other party's thanks, and then said, "I won't disturb you from preparing. Work hard and strive to get a good ranking!"

"I will, Director Li." Li Xiaoran nodded vigorously.

Gong Li made a cheering gesture: "Come on, Xiaoran!"

"Thank you, Sister Gong Li."

Looking at the two people's backs as they left, Li Xiaoran's heart was filled with fighting spirit.

After she made it into the top 16, she didn't have the courage to go on when facing the remaining contestants from various countries because some of them were so beautiful.

And she is sexy and beautiful.

Karina from India who is good at belly dancing, Padjongpa Sachu from Thailand who has a very well-proportioned body...

Now that Li Yishu and Gong Li have come to encourage her personally, Li Xiaoran will naturally not choose to back down. This is related to her honor!
Around 6.40pm.

There were still twenty minutes before the game started, and the audience had already filled the 3,000-seat venue.

Li Yishu also came to the first row of judges' seats with ten other judges, while Gong Li sat in the front audience seats.

There are ten judges, and the judge representing China is Cai Lan.

The reason why he was chosen is because Cai Lan adheres to the principle of "ugly girls should be killed". He is 54 years old this year and has dated dozens of girlfriends in more than a dozen countries. It can be said that Cai Lan has a say in the beauty pageant. In addition, he has signed a contract with ATV for the program "Cai Lan Eats All Over China", so naturally the benefits will not flow to outsiders.

Of the remaining nine judges, Li Yishu only knew one, and that was the Japanese manga artist Hojo Tsukasa.

He has written many comic works, the most classic of which are "Cat's Eye" and "City Hunter".

Both comic books focus on the portrayal of female characters, and the three sisters in the next life are particularly impressive.

"Supervisor Li!"

When Li Yishu was sitting in the middle seat, ready to wait for the competition to start, Hojo Tsukasa suddenly came over with a translator and said respectfully: "Wow! I'm glad to meet Director Li. I like the movie "Love Letter" you shot the most..."

At this time, the photographer on the scene captured this scene and pointed the camera towards Li Yishu.

At this time, the host who was narrating in the studio of the ATV building saw this scene and immediately said in Mandarin:
"Dear audience, you can see that the Asian film godfather, director Lee Ye-su, has taken his seat, and standing next to him is the Japanese judge Hojo Tsukasa. Hojo Tsukasa is a famous Japanese cartoonist who created "Cat's Eyes" and "City Hunter". The cartoon "City Hunter" was adapted into a movie by director Wang Jing in 1993, starring Cheng Long..."

"This is a famous Korean writer..."

Yangcheng.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

At the gate of a village committee in an urban village, many villagers were watching the "Miss Asia Beauty Pageant" on TV.

"Look how respectful the little Japanese are, nodding and bowing."

"Yes, Li Yishu is an internationally renowned director. According to the newspaper, he is known as the Emperor of Movies in Japan!"

"This Korean judge is here too!"

"These people are either writers, painters or musicians. Why are they standing in front of Li Yishu? Isn't he just a director?"

"You're crazy, don't you read the newspapers? Li Yishu is not just a director, he's also the boss of this TV station, worth billions!"

"Billions, is that true?"

"Of course it's true, he's a millionaire."

"..."

This scene happened in many areas, including Guangdong and Taiwan.

Anyone who could watch the live broadcast directly, after seeing the judges running up to Lee Yi-shu respectfully to say hello, coupled with the ATV host's obvious respectful words to Lee Yi-shu, could not help but sigh how famous Lee Yi-shu is abroad.

No wonder newspapers and television are reporting all day long about how many awards Lee Yi-su has won abroad and how high her box office has been.

Hong Kong Cultural Center.

At around 6:50, with only a dozen minutes left before the competition started, the judges returned to their seats one after another with their translators.

Because there are many foreign beauties this time, ATV specially found dozens of translators who are proficient in the languages ​​of these countries. Not only were there translators for the jury, but there was also one for each of the beauties.

Cai Lan sat next to Li Yishu and looked back at the audience seats in front of him. He found that many second-generation Hong Kong rich people had come. He couldn't help but say to Li Yishu beside him: "Director Li, it's really lively today. Many second-generation rich people have come. I think they all came for these beauties."

Hearing this, Li Yishu laughed and said, "Haha, Cai Lan, didn't you come here for the beauty?"

"That's for sure!"

Cai Lan said with a smile: "Director Li, today I finally understand that there are more beauties among the common people. This year, there are dozens of female contestants in our Chinese competition area who are no worse than those stars, and there are countless beauties in mainland China!"

"With the base number here, there are naturally more beauties." Li Yishu smiled and said, "This year's competition was a little rushed, but it will be different next year. By then, there will be more high-quality contestants."

"Then I will participate again next year." Cai Lan's eyes lit up. He is no longer at the age of falling in love with every girl he meets, but there is one thing that remains unchanged, which is his love for looking at beautiful women.

Li Yishu said, "No problem, I can even ask Director Huo to make you a lifetime judge."

"That's great!" Cai Lan smiled, and suddenly saw a man walking down from the audience. He said in surprise, "He's here too!"

"Who's coming?"

"I heard that Li Chaoren's son is dating a female anchor from a Japanese TV station. I didn't expect him to come to watch the beauty pageant."

Li Chaoren's son?

When Li Yishu heard the name, he followed Cai Lan's gaze and found that it was not his eldest son Li Zeju in his memory, but his youngest son Li Zekai.

I haven’t heard about Li Zeju being kidnapped recently, so it seems like it hasn’t happened yet.

Li Yishu suddenly frowned. Although in some film and television works, Zhang Ziqiang always went after rich people, he, Li Yishu, is also a rich man now!
This year, he acquired Asia Television and Ming Pao, and the media reported that he is worth tens of billions.

It would be troublesome if we were targeted.

He recalled that Li Zeju’s kidnapping seemed to have happened in the past two years.

It was either 95 or 96, but definitely not 97, because after 97, the century’s gangster Zhang Ziqiang seemed to have been arrested.

Thinking of this, Li Yishu felt a little worried for some reason.

Compared with those traditional tycoons, Li Yishu, a wealthy man who travels around to film movies all year round, seems to be more worthy of these desperate criminals.

At this moment, passionate music suddenly came from the scene.

The beauty pageant officially opens!
Beauties from more than 30 countries, each wearing the national costume of their respective country, appeared on stage one after another amid the live broadcasts in Chinese and English.

Seeing the beautiful beauties coming on stage one after another, Li Yishu put aside her worries and began to appreciate the charm of these beauties.

I have to say that among the beauties selected by various countries, there is not a single ugly one; they are all beautiful women, just with different styles.

Two hosts made a brilliant appearance. The male host was Huang Zihua, the founder of stand-up comedy, who is now a famous fast talker in Hong Kong.

Huo Wenxi liked his stand-up comedy very much, so he invited him to join Asia Television and even arranged a ten-minute stand-up comedy show for him every week.

The female host is ATV's contracted artist Gigi Wong. The TV series "Fist of Fury" she filmed this year became an instant hit after it was broadcast on ATV.

The two said in unison: "Good evening, dear audience friends!"

The scene burst into applause.

After the two of them gave a brief opening speech, Huang Zihua said, "Dear audience friends, I believe you have all seen the thirty-odd contestants around us. Some of them narrowly lost to the top 16, while others advanced to the top 16. But to have made it this far is a victory."

"Next, I will ask all the beauties to shout out the names of their countries. I hope the audience will give them a warm round of applause and thank them for allowing us to see the cultures and beauties of various Asian countries without leaving home!" (End of this chapter)
