After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 405 I heard you want to win a Golden Horse Award?

"Not everyone wants to develop in Hollywood. Andy Lau didn't go to Hollywood either... I think the domestic market has a promising future. Jackie Chan and Li Lianjie are back."

"They are old and can't fight anymore." Zuoshandiao shook his head. "We can wait to go to Hollywood, but Weathering With You needs to have Hollywood people."

"I have no objection to a supporting role." Li Mingyang paused and continued, "Third Master, the witch is already done, do you want to take a look?"

Zuo Shandiao hummed absentmindedly. "Tomorrow morning, you go to the hotel where I'm staying."

"It's better to choose a different day than to hit it, and let's do it now."

Zuo Shandiao looked at Li Mingyang strangely. What was so good about such a bad movie?

……

Zuoshandiao drank a lot and felt a little unwell, so he wanted to watch it early tomorrow morning.

It’s good to feel unwell!

Li Mingyang immediately called Lao Wu and asked him to bring his notebook to the cigar room.

What I'm waiting for is for you to get drunk!
Ten minutes later.

Everyone gathered on the sofa and watched the Witch being shown on the projection screen.

"The style has changed again. This dark-toned filter is much more comfortable to look at..."

"The heroine is blind?! This is a great performance!"

"Not bad, not bad. Especially the scene where he knocks something over, continues to walk forward, and takes a while to react before looking back. It's very vivid."

Zuoshandiao took a sip of tea and couldn't help but applaud.

There was a misunderstanding. Li Mingyang did not do things perfunctorily. The film was shot very well.

Liu Shishi's acting is so good!
The empty look in his eyes and the inexplicable shaking of his head are so realistic and really bring the blind man to life.

Helpless little hands and stubborn neck.

Doesn’t this just cater to the blind man’s inferiority complex and decency?
"Not bad, not bad! Every one of them acted really well, the foreshadowing was well done, there were a lot of details, it was both artistic and suspenseful, and the timing was very good. I really didn't misjudge him, Director Li really put his heart into making the movie." Zuoshandiao nodded and praised, very satisfied.

"I have always been very responsible for my movies. Those who say that I am perfunctory are spreading rumors," Li Mingyang responded.

Zuoshandiao smiled awkwardly, because the one who said that Li Mingyang was perfunctory was not someone else, but himself.

As the plot deepened, Zuoshandiao suddenly felt that the movie was a little too bland and literary, and it would be difficult to have good box office results.

My heart gradually grew cold.

Just when he was about to lose his patience, a group of men in black broke into the heroine's house.

When Li Xin had a knife against his neck, blood was flowing down his neck, and a pistol was against the heroine's forehead.

The eagle's eyelids twitched.

Why are there still guns?!

Oh, now I remember, this is an action movie, every shot is a headshot, very clean and neat.

The reversal was wonderful and the mystery was solved.

The fight started again... Wait, isn't this movie too bloody!
Why is there so much blood!

Headshots with guns, throat severing with bare hands, blood splattering, blades piercing the body...

This is a violent and bloody action movie!

In many places, there was no need for such details, and the blood splattered on the spot was obviously intentional.

The blood volume is too high!

The movie is excellent.

The four elements of literature, suspense, science fiction and action are cleverly integrated together.

It can be said that this is a precedent in China.

It was the first time he had seen such an alternative superpower action movie.

Especially the witch's heart net special effects, which are interspersed in the battle, are refreshing.

It turns out that the witch is not blind, she can 'see'.

It's just acting.

The blind man also acted...

The last evil smile made even this old man shudder...

"Third Master, what do you think?" Li Mingyang asked a little nervously.

Zuoshandiao glanced at Li Mingyang, then glanced at the others. He was silent for a while before waving his hand and saying, "All of you get out."

Zuoshandiao spoke, and the others left the room with different expressions. Almost everyone turned back to look at Li Mingyang and Zuoshandiao before leaving.

We are all filmmakers, and we can all see how excellent The Witch is.

Even if it doesn’t sell well, at least the word of mouth will definitely be great!
But Li Mingyang did not act honestly. He concealed the content of the movie and delayed submitting the assignment until the last minute.

The witch's bloodiness has seriously exceeded the limit.

If we follow the normal process, it will not pass the review at all. At least half of the bloody scenes must be deleted before it can pass the review...

But if it was deleted, the most essential part was deleted.

If there is no rush to release it, you can revise it slowly, back and forth.

But now is no time to change...

"You are giving me a difficult problem..." Zuoshandiao picked up the ashtray in front of him and put out the cigar in his hand bit by bit.

"The regions are all fictitious, except for the large amount of blood..."

"It's released domestically, so there are domestic censorship standards."

"If you want to compete with Hollywood movies, you have to go beyond the rules."

"It's a good idea, I agree." Zuo Shandiao frowned and said, "Can you edit it a little bit? If it's too bloody and violent, we'll lose a lot of potential viewers."

"Too artistic loses more..."

Zuo Shandiao put down the ashtray and said with a faint smile: "That's it."

"Can I go through the trial now?"

"If they can pass the inspection even if they make counterfeit banknotes, your problem is not that big..."

Li Mingyang nodded, feeling relieved. He raised his glass happily and toasted Zuoshandiao.

Zuoshandiao had no intention of offering the wine. His eyes suddenly turned cold and he said indifferently, "I heard that you want to win a Golden Statue Award?"...

Yu Dong came out of the room, glanced at the senior executives of China Film Group, then looked at Wu Zhikui, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Can Zuoshandiao make the witch pass the review? Of course he can!

But Li Mingyang used delaying tactics to force Zuoshandiao to do something, which set a bad precedent!

The Mountain Eagle will be more domineering in the future!

Zuoshandiao hates being threatened the most.

After waiting for a while, Yu Dong was thinking about whether to leave first when the door opened.

Seeing Li Mingyang and Zuoshandiao coming out chatting and laughing, Yu Dong rubbed his eyes. They finished the talk so quickly.

It seems that Li Mingyang has figured it out.

"Weathering With You, work harder and try to get me a box office of 1 billion." Zuoshandiao patted Li Mingyang on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"I can't guarantee that, I can only say that I will do my best and perform steadily."

Zuoshandiao nodded and left with the senior executives of China Film.

"Director Li, you shouldn't have kept it a secret." Yu Dong sighed as he watched everyone walk away.

Li Mingyang turned around and glanced at Yu Dong, then reached out and pulled him into the cigar bar.

"Do you know what he just asked me?" Li Mingyang said in a deep voice.

"what?"

"He asked me about the Academy Awards."

"It has nothing to do with me. I haven't even started the operation yet."

Yu Dong protested his innocence and refused to admit that he did it.

Li Mingyang also felt that it was not Yu Dong, but he was confused about who informed on him.

Those people in Hong Kong think they are like snakes and they dare not tell on others.

It’s just a Hong Kong Film Award. He could just give it up.

But the guy who informed on others will never be able to survive in the mainland again.

Yu Dong glanced at Wu Zhikui in the corridor and closed the door. "Director Li, I think this matter is very likely a guess made by Zuo Shandiao himself."

"You guessed it yourself?"

"What director doesn't want to win an award? The Golden Horse Awards are arguably the two most prestigious awards for Chinese-language films. When Stephen Chow lost to Derek Yee, he got angry on the spot."

Seeing that Li Mingyang didn't say anything, Yu Dong continued, "Director Li, you haven't been in contact with Zuoshandiao for a long time. In fact... he is quite cunning and likes to cheat people."

"I said that I am aiming for the Golden Horse Awards. Is there anything wrong with this answer?"

"Theoretically, that's fine..."

"Aren't you talking nonsense!"

Li Mingyang and Yu Dong chatted for a while and then left the club.

On the way to the parking lot, he repeatedly recalled the tone, expression, and movements of Zuoshandiao's question just now... trying to figure out whether he really knew the answer or was just lying to him.

After dealing with Zuoshandiao for a long time, Li Mingyang discovered that Zuoshandiao was a result-oriented person.

Same as myself.

After all, I am the number one director in the Chinese box office.

As long as he can win the Academy Award, Zuoshandiao may be angry, but he won't blame him.

It's just a change of knife.

It's all his credit.

After making sure there was no problem, Li Mingyang opened the car door and got in.

"Let's find a hotel nearby."

"not going back?"

"The Warring States crew will come to Magic City tomorrow, and the premiere and press conference will be held in Magic City the day after tomorrow."

"Didn't they hold the premiere in Xi'an?"

"Maybe they think the more premieres the better..." Li Mingyang said with a smile.

Wu Zhikui shook his head speechlessly, started the car, and drove slowly, looking for a hotel.

The Warring States is scheduled to be released on June 6th.

On June 6, a grand premiere was held at XA.

The premiere was held in Shanghai on June 6.

On June 6, the premiere was held in Yanbei.

It was released in more than 40 regions around the world, including North America, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia...

This shame will be spread to the whole world!
Li Mingyang has seen the Warring States Period. There is no hope. It is exactly the same as in his previous life.

To be fair, "Warring States" is not a shockingly bad movie. Compared with some of the "Chinese blockbusters" that have flooded the country, "Warring States" is not the worst.

But the publicity and promotion were too aggressive… They were afraid that the national audience would not know, so they pushed the promotion to the extreme, with all kinds of slogans ringing out loud and sweeping the entire Internet.

It piqued the audience's curiosity.

The reputation of the film collapsed on the first day of its release. The more hype it had, the worse the failure.

The expected box office was 4 million, but the final box office was less than million, a huge flop.

By the way, Jing Tian was badly criticized during that period.

Dear netizens, you are too cruel to Jing Tian!
"I hope the storm will come even more violently!" Li Mingyang said quietly.

Ever since Jing Tian became famous with your name, she has become an Asian actress.

The princess syndrome is getting worse.

After all, he is the top Chinese-language director, but Jing Tian doesn't take it seriously and takes it upon himself to arrange his career.

Li Mingyang is now particularly looking forward to the majority of netizens to beat Jing Tian into tears and collapse, so that she can know what the entertainment industry is like.

"The weather is pretty good. Will it rain?" Wu Zhikui muttered to himself as he looked at the white moon in the sky.
