Our Rise Era

Chapter 61 Who is this bastard!
The 44th Taiwan Golden Horse Film Awards came to a close at the Taiwan Arena on the evening of December 12.

As one of the three major film awards in China, the Golden Horse Awards attracted much attention throughout China in 2007, both in terms of popularity, attention, and authority.

The most talked-about movie at this year's Golden Horse Awards is "Reincarnation".

The film itself is an extremely avant-garde and bold work. The male and female actors in the film are unprecedentedly open in front of the camera, and there are even more than one imaginative plots, which made some viewers so excited that they called it the biggest sensory feast in the Chinese film industry in 2007!
In 2007, this movie was arguably one of the most searched movies on the entire Internet, sparking a lot of discussion and receiving very strong responses. Even the American media praised the movie highly.

This movie shined brightly at this year's Golden Horse Awards.

This movie won nearly seven major awards, from Best Director to Best Actor, Best New Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

If we talk about the status of Chinese directors, Li Lihua is definitely one of the most successful Chinese directors in the world. Whether it is a moral film, a martial arts film, or a science fiction film, he can handle it with ease. In particular, he integrates Eastern and Western cultures very well. Whether it is in terms of technology, aesthetics, or business, he is still far ahead...

The only regret is that the Best Feature Film award was snatched away by "Falling Leaves Return to Roots" directed by Xu Guoan...

but……

As the first Chinese director in the millennium, who won China's first Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in Hollywood with a martial arts film and has repeatedly competed for Oscars with his works, this award is insignificant.

..............................

Night of April 12th.

It’s been a day since I won the award.

However, Li Lihua's schedule for gatherings in Taiwan is still very full.

Reporters and young directors who came to visit him used various connections to take photos with him, and he heard countless praises and controversies one after another.

Li Lihua responded to the praise seriously with a smile.

It was not until 9 o'clock in the evening that I returned to my home in Taiwan.

When he returned home, Li Lihua lay on the sofa, quietly feeling the tranquility of the moment.

He likes the calm after the hustle and bustle. This sense of silence allows him to think about future movies and itinerary arrangements.

no doubt……

After filming the movie "Reincarnation", Li Lihua suffered particularly severe internal friction. He faced countless criticisms both in Taiwan and on the mainland. Now the dust has finally settled.

I won't make such films anymore.

After enjoying the peace for a short time, he sat in front of the computer and searched the Internet for the situation on the mainland.

On the mainland side, the attitude towards the movie "Reincarnation" has always been very clear, that is, it is absolutely impossible to be released in public on the mainland.

In fact, if he had not deleted more bold scenes, the actress would have faced the risk of being banned.

Even so, he still believes that the Chinese mainland market is good enough to compete with Hollywood. Although Taiwan was once glorious and is still prosperous now, it is gradually facing a "lack of successors". If young directors are to be honest, there is no one who can stand up to the challenge...

On the other hand, although the works in mainland China tend to be conservative, there have been many excellent works in recent years...

Li Lihua was browsing when he suddenly came across a video.

He clicked on the video.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate "Reincarnation" for its success at the 44th Taiwan Golden Horse Film Awards, and also congratulate teacher Li Lihua for another great achievement!"

"From the bottom of my heart, I have a sincere admiration for Teacher Li Lihua..."

"Although I am now a relatively successful figure in the industry, the admiration I had for Teacher Li Lihua when I was a child has never disappeared. As I get older, my admiration becomes more sincere..."

"Now, we [YW Animation], no, it should be said [YW Films], we are now preparing for our second work "Armored Man"..."

"Our investment in this work is unprecedented, the importance we attach to this project is also unprecedented, and our writing team and creative team are even more unprecedented!"

"We shouldn't just view this special effects film as a special effects film. It should also be the dream of countless children in China or Taiwan..."

"Here, I sincerely and publicly invite Mr. Li Lihua on the Internet to serve as the chief director of our "Armored Man". Mr. Li Lihua, if you have seen this video, I hope you can contact us [YW Films]..."

"Mr. Li Lihua, from now until tomorrow morning, I will be waiting for your call at the company, thank you..."

"..."

When Li Lihua saw this video, he was a little confused at first.

Who is this person!
But then...

"I will spend 11,000 RMB to invite Li Lihua to direct our "Armored Man". After all, this movie is very important to me. I believe Mr. Li Lihua will not refuse!"

"..."

When hearing these words, Li Lihua, who was drinking tea, burst out laughing instantly!
....................................

"Oh my god, who is this clown? Why is he trying to take advantage of everything..." "Oh my god! This person publicly called out Li Lihua. Oh, how shameless... He is trying to attract attention. He is shameless. He is simply a clown among clowns..."

"This is the boss of Huaxia. It seems that the company has an animation company..."

"Oh my god, Popeye the Movie... no wonder it looks so familiar..."

“Is it the one with a 5.2 rating on Douban?”

"What? 5.2? I remember it was 2.6 when I checked it before. Has it increased so much recently?"

"Hey, this guy is talking again. He said he wants to spend 11,000 yuan to invite Li Lihua to direct his movie 'Armored Man'!"

"Holy crap, is this true? So clownish?"

"This birdman's hype has no limits!"

"..."

07 years.

What attracts the most attention?

dispute!

If one is eccentric, or even behaves like a clown, and uses shocking language, it will attract even more attention.

For example, the [Sister Feng] and [Sister Furong] of the past world...

Zhang Yang's video was not only posted on major movie forums, but also on the Taiwan Film Awards official website. As long as they could find a place to post videos, they would post it without hesitation...

He was instantly met with all kinds of ridicule and criticism on the Internet, with many people thinking that Zhang Yang was completely crazy or had serious mental problems.

Some people even revealed countless scandals...

Among them, [Capital Nightmare] even made a third video, and attracted nearly 5,000 fans amidst the sound of cursing and laughing at Zhang Yang the clown, and the total number of fans has exceeded 20,000!
……

Although it was 07, sometimes you really have to sigh at the amazing speed of Internet communication.

From yesterday morning to this morning, in less than a day, this video has been reposted thousands of times and even became a hot search on some portal websites!

The title [The clown Zhang Yang spent 11,000 yuan to hire a famous director to shoot a special effects film] dominated the topic list of [Cape Forum].

The morning of November 12.

At the entrance of [YW Animation], a large group of reporters gathered after hearing the news.

When Lu Wei saw these reporters, his head started buzzing.

After carefully asking the people around him, he immediately realized that these reporters were not hired "shills" but...

Seeing the popularity on the Internet, people spontaneously came to look for various popular Internet media!

Mr. Zhang seems...

It seems like it became popular overnight?
Just when Lu Wei was confused...

He saw Zhang Yang straighten his clothes and then walked in from outside.

"boss Zhang?"

"The leaders of Aiku Video will be here today. You will be responsible for connecting with them..."

"then you……"

"I've bought a plane ticket and am going to Taiwan with Boss Chen..."

"You are going to Taiwan..."

"Personally invite a famous director to shoot our movie!"

"Mr. Zhang, are you serious?"

"Do I look like someone joking? By the way, when I get to Taiwan, I'll have someone secretly take some photos of me. Please send them to me, so as not to extinguish the fire of the Internet..."

"???"

Lu Wei opened his mouth.

Then Zhang Yang was seen walking out of the door with a serious face, heading towards the BMW 7 Series in the distance.

The nouveau riche Chen Tiangui was already waiting there. When he saw Zhang Yang coming over, he waved to him excitedly.
