Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 100: Rich is a great show [ask for monthly ticket]

As the Internet exploded, Li Wenyu called Ning Hao again and asked Ning Hao to post updates using the official Weibo account of the "You Who Came From the Stars" crew.

Directly @ Lao Chen, your attempt to attract Korean capital to invest in your filming is a commercial act. There is no need to step on Chinese celebrities to get ahead in order to flatter the sponsors.

Since you chose the money yourself, don't put all the blame on Li Wenyu for being rejected repeatedly by female stars.

What does this have to do with Lao Li?
And it also wiped out the future of Chinese films?
Chinese films are not that fragile. The earth will continue to turn even if no one is missing.

After the status update, Pang Bing controlled his account and quickly liked the post, saying, "I'm finally coming to my senses."

"The director of Hong Kong-House Bay wants the most famous mainland celebrities to play supporting roles and support Brother Hua and his friends. Brother Hua has the status to do so."

"Director Chen, are you trying to elevate Korean celebrities to a higher position than Hong Kong and Macau superstars? So you're just nominating them for an Oscar..."

This is the beginning of the millennium, and the logical circle of Hollywood being bigger than Taiwan, South Korea being bigger than Hong Kong, and Taiwan being bigger than the mainland is being completed.

Once it is completed, it is not easy to break it.

But it is obvious that mainland practitioners instinctively do not want to accept these classes, especially since Pang Bing has taken away Azhi's throne among female stars.

Many people can see that they don’t need to invite a bunch of grandparents to worship them.

The production of idol dramas like "You Who Came From the Stars" further proves that even young mainland actors like Huang Xiaoming, Deng, and Yan Kuan do not need to worship a lot of grandfathers.

Preparing for the large-scale production of [Extreme Occupation], except for a meta-title?
Of course, Harbour City can also see Li Wenyu's every move and the general trend, but it is useless. Firstly, Li Wenyu is the real little god of wealth who brings wealth.

If one group wants to oppose, others will defect in order to make money, and it will be a mess.

Don’t mention that Lao Li has become a capitalist!

When it comes down to it, Hong Kong Island is a place where only those with money can show off.

Li Wenyu nodded. "You continue surfing. I'll have one last formal chat with IHQ's Mr. Zheng."

Fat Bing asked curiously, "Is it really okay for us to rush towards Old Chen like this?"

Old Li was at a loss for words. What was the big deal?
If he were just a new director or star in the entertainment industry, he would definitely have many old connections.

Including his connections within the Beijing Film Academy campus, people came to talk to him and persuade him.

But he is a capitalist!
With assets of over 30 billion, he is much richer than Liu Yifei's godfather.

Who would go to the end and pick a fight with him over a trivial matter like an internet quarrel?
Old Chen was so angry that he was hospitalized, which was his own fault. The other party fired the first shot. This is not just the beginning of the deification of "Farewell My Concubine", but the other party has been deified for 10 years.

It is the post-era where Lao Chen makes investors lose money time and time again and starts to doubt life.

…………

In the courtyard of the quadrangle.

Li Wenyu grabbed his phone and called IHQ Director Zheng. It was already eight o'clock in the evening on the 21st.

After the call was connected, Director Zheng on the other end laughed, "Director Li, news spreads fast in the internet age."

"I already know about the verbal battle between you and your Chinese director Chen through Weibo. Director Li is worthy of being China's number one director. Amazing! Are you telling me good news?"

After three months of negotiations, Lao Li felt itchy when he heard the other party's slightly mean smile.

He coughed and said calmly, "Director Zheng, you will take 5% of the total box office after tax for Extreme Occupation. This is the last time I ask you this. If we can't cooperate, we will sell it to the film distributor."

"At worst, I can just let Gao Yuanyuan play the leading female role, and our cooperation will end here. I'll give you two minutes to think about it."

Both Elephant Group and Samsung are going to be in trouble.

Quan Zhixian also wants to take this opportunity to escape from Lao Zheng's clutches.

Is this the negotiation rhythm that Li Wenyu started with? Negotiations are about making sky-high offers and then paying back the same.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for several seconds, and then Director Zheng's voice rang out again, "Director Li, we at IHQ are sincere. So, 12% of the total box office after tax. You don't like Song Huiqiao."

"Then I can send Jin Xishan and Li Ying'ai. I will help you manage the box office revenue sharing for a long time, so that the theater chain can settle your bills on time and not default on your payments. It will take a lot of effort."

"Director Li, IHQ doesn't belong to me alone. I'm just a director and department head."

Lao Zheng was still talking non-stop, but Li Wenyu had already hung up the phone.

He looked up at the sky and really wanted to slap Lao Zheng twice. After three months of negotiations, this was the first time he agreed to a 3% reduction!

Well, Li Wenyu didn’t lose money, but the Weibo off-site platform made a lot of money.

Jeon Ji-hyun also came to the 2002 Asian Beauty Pageant Awards Ceremony, which inspired Ayumi Hamasaki to come to the awards ceremony as well.

He has already won in the Internet world.

It was simply Lao Zheng who came first to seek cooperation, and then he haggled over the profit sharing ratio for so long, which was really annoying.

No need to waste time now.

Li Wenyu then called Quan Zhixian.

The end of the year is approaching, and in order to make the filming of "Extreme Job" smoother, we still have to start various preparatory work.

Yuan Biao and others have joined for more than a month.

The initial letter of intent signed with Director Zheng can naturally be torn up. The initial intention was to sign the next round only when both parties were satisfied with the results of the negotiations.

…………

A nightclub in South Korea.

Director Zheng put away his phone and walked back to the private room, looking a little unhappy.

In the private room, several older men were commenting on the girl group substitute trainees sent by IHQ today, wondering which one was better and more outstanding.

An old man glanced at Director Zheng, smiled, and raised his glass. "Director Zheng, what's the trouble? It's such a beautiful night, let's enjoy it."

Old Zheng burst into laughter. "Chairman Park is right. Enjoy life while you can. I salute Chairman Park, President Kim, and everyone else."

Lao Zheng didn't quite understand, and couldn't figure out why Li Wenyu was so tough when talking to him this time. Was it just because the other party was nominated for the Best Director of a Drama Film at the Hollywood Golden Globe Awards?
It was just a nomination, he didn’t win the award!

Besides, even if he won the Golden Globe for Best Director, what would it matter? The United States is South Korea's father.

But that doesn’t mean Hollywood is the daddy of the South Korean scene.

The cinema category has even less to do with the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars.

Forget it, don’t think about it too much. He is greedy for the money brought in by big popcorn movies such as The Shallows and The Pitch.

15% for the tuner is 200 million Hong Kong dollars, more than million US dollars.

At the same time, Li Wenyu's ability to win awards is so amazing that in order to support Quan Zhixian, he might even ask for awards.

As long as the other party is greedy for money from South Korean voters, they can't avoid him as the local tyrant.

Drink, it is more important to serve the bosses in front of you first!

…………

It was a new day. Director Zheng of IHQ arrived at the company with a grim look on his face. As soon as he arrived at his office floor, he saw two familiar figures waiting for him.

The two saw him walking towards them quickly and greeted him nervously.

Director Zheng's face darkened even further. "Where's Xiaoxian? I couldn't get through to her after I got up. Didn't I say I'm on call 24 hours a day?"

"She can have a little temper, but why do you have the right?"

This has been his arrangement all along. He and Quan Zhixian take turns to keep an eye on Quan Zhixian basically 24 hours a day, and any activities must be within their sight.

An assistant looked embarrassed and bowed deeply to apologize. "Sorry, Director, Miss Quan has flown to China with her new agent and personal assistant." "We're fired."

Director Zheng's eyes widened, and he asked blankly, "Ah Xi, are you kidding me?"

Jeon Ji-hyun’s contract with IHQ has lasted for more than ten years. His status is not the absolute boss, but he is also among the top three.

He is also a second-generation in the circle, and his previous generation also has connections and money!
After all, this is an era when boy bands such as HOT, Autumn in My Heart, Winter Sonata, and My Sassy Girl were all popular.

Boy band stars may not make money because they are being severely punished by their agencies.

But big groups are really making money quickly!

In the South Korean entertainment industry, who the hell dares to steal his girlfriend quietly?

A bodyguard smiled wryly and bowed, "Director, Miss Jeon's new agent was appointed by Mrs. Lee of Samsung and Princess Elephant Lin."

"The contract is still with our company, and the company's commission remains unchanged, but Miss Quan will be fully responsible for negotiating various film collaborations with Time Media."

"Chairman Cha drafted the new contract and personally drove it to the Li Mansion for Samsung's Executive Director Li and Mrs. Li to review."

Lee Jae-yong is currently an executive assistant at Samsung Electronics.

If he had not become extremely powerful in the future and was hailed as the shadow leader who controlled all parties, and if he had not been found guilty of various violations of the law, he would have not been sent to jail.

But it is obvious that his status as the crown prince cannot be shaken by the outside world.

A certain old chairman was diagnosed with cancer three years ago, and it was Li Zairong's wife, Princess Daxianglin, who took care of him at his bedside for two years.

Director Zheng, "Ah..."

He was really confused.

Damn it, Prince Li wanted to poach his girlfriend, and he could only kneel down and beg for forgiveness.

That person doesn't seem so domineering on the surface.

At this moment, Chairman Che, who founded IHQ, was only 43 years old, not that old. Chairman Che came over and waved his hand to let everyone go.

Lao Che then smoked a cigarette and took a few deep puffs. "Look at it more openly. I told you before, Xiao Zheng, your control over Xiao Quan is too strong. No one can stand it. You were fine in the first two years, but it's become more and more outrageous in the past two years."

"You were once my student when I was teaching at the university, and so was Jeon Ji-hyun."

"You can exploit ordinary people at will when starting a business, but since you really like her and have even thought about proposing to her, it's really not okay to over-control her."

At this point, Lao Che took out a letter and said, "Xiaoquan asked me to pass it on to you as a breakup letter."

"It's not a big deal. After all, you've talked about it. You can get her back after a while."

Chairman Che is similar to a professor at China's Beijing Film Academy who directly started a company.

He usually doesn't act as a director, but only as a supervisor or producer.

Director Zheng was so upset that he wanted to cry. Thinking about the call from Li Wenyu last night and the current situation, he suppressed his grief and said, "Samsung... Never mind. Thank you, teacher. I'll go check the letter now."

When he started to move, he stopped again, "Something is wrong, why are Samsung and Elephant suddenly?"

Chairman Cha was speechless. "Going for the Golden Globe, going for the Oscars, and even going for the Berlin and Cannes awards in the past, as long as it's a modern film, it will sell well on DVD and then trigger a viewing boom on the internet."

"This is something that many people in the European and American industries will observe repeatedly. It is a good opportunity for us to promote our Korean products."

"Do you think the three books you helped promote, including Slumdog Millionaire, would be a hit if adapted into a film? How much has Samsung invested in India since six years ago?"

"With the Chinese mainland, a country with over a billion people as the voting base, if Extreme Occupation becomes a huge hit, how much attention can a few classic scenes bring to Samsung and Elephant?"

"Samsung phones just entered China in 02. Are there still more problems?"

Director Zheng cried rhythmically, no problem!

Really no more.

Compared to those? His commission is nothing.

…………

January 1, 22: am.

Li Wenyu appeared at the headquarters of Time Media and quickly summoned the main creators of Extreme Occupation to join him.

He led them to a spacious, empty conference room, then waved to Gao Yuanyuan, "Xiao Gao, you've been practicing Bagua and Tai Chi for over three months. Today, I'll teach you some shooting moves."

"In the plot, there's only one or two minutes before and after you use a gun to kill someone."

"But for this one or two minutes, the more beautiful the shooting, the better."

He had already obtained a prop gun, including fake bullets and other items, which were all requested. "Brother Biao, Lao Xiong, and Zhang Jin, you guys can first play the role of martial artists. We will try to interact with each other by shooting guns later."

In today's Hong Kong and Hollywood movies, the strongest gunfight is still Wu Baige's romantic violent aesthetics. A few guns are fired with a bang, and the bullets are used up, but the enemy is unharmed.

It's just some editing and editing, with a main theme of being free and easy, and the fight is in full swing.

The bullet time in The Matrix is ​​an alternative breakthrough.

It was not until Operation: John Wick and Chase that the Mozambique shooting method, the center axis relock system, tactical shooting, contact and directional shooting, as well as various tactical skills such as positioning and reloading were introduced.

Including how to hold a gun, etc., which brings the gun battle into a realistic and tough style.

Similar to the handsome style of mowing the lawn.

He drew a comic-book-level storyboard of an ordinary gunfight, where the two sides met and each struck shooting poses.

Then he fought against three people alone, defeating Yuan Biao, Xiong Xinxin and Zhang Jin.

Yuan Biao and others politely took the script and looked through it, and were also a little surprised. They had been exposed to the gun fighting style of Jackie Chan, Wu Baige and others for a long time.

Suddenly seeing another completely new action posture and coherent reaction, it was a bit eye-opening.

Everyone prepares for ten minutes, including adding blood packs to highlight the authenticity of the on-the-spot reaction.

When the time came, Li Wenyu asked Gao Yuanyuan to stand at the outermost edge. He, Yuan Biao and the other two pretended to be at the scene of a transaction. Drug lord A was also Gao Yuanyuan's boss who was too tough...

The three gunmen who followed drug lord B threatened Liang Muscle with guns at the signal of their boss.

Unexpectedly, Gao Yuanyuan, a subordinate of drug lord A, had no moral ethics. She really opened fire. After the first shot, she moved swiftly and killed all the gunmen on the other side.

Li Wenyu shouted, "Start!"

There was no one else acting with him on the scene. Yuan Biao seemed to have received a signal from his boss and coldly and arrogantly pulled out a gun from his waist and crossed his arms.

Xiong Xinxin and Zhang Jin also took out guns from their pockets.

Old Li suddenly moved faster, crouching down and following the footwork of Bagua, coordinating with shooting steps, bang bang bang.

The whole process is much more handsome and sharp than the most exciting big-screen shots of John Wick in John Wick.

Li Wenyu's fitness score is as high as 300 points, and his Bagua and Tai Chi, which include training methods, fighting methods, standing exercises and medicinal food, have all reached 70 points.

In the real martial arts world, his Baguazhang and Tai Chi are at the provincial level, and the physical evolution brought about by fitness can easily surpass the level and kill the national masters.

Yuan Biao, Xiong Xinxin and the other two were two or three beats late, and they lay dead one after another with blood bags on their faces, with shock and unwilling eyes in their death. Their acting was also quite good.

Gao Yuanyuan, who was not far away, trembled as she watched, "Boss, you are so handsome..."

Is this a gunfight action designed for her?
She was a fangirl and she almost fainted when she saw it.

From his movements to his body shape, height, appearance, etc., Li Wenyu showed himself to be so tough and handsome.
