Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 129: The Goblin Project Blows Up the Entertainment Circle [Subscribe]

December 2003, 12, Nortel.

When Megan Fox stepped into the campus, she quickly caused a small sensation, and many students spontaneously surrounded her to say hello or greet her politely.

At this stage, Megan has been in school for a few months and is representing the class of 03 in Berlin as a small supporting role.

This is a blockbuster film that Li Wenyu, Gong Li, Zun Long and a little Megan took to Hollywood to shoot for about 40 days.

It was Lao Li who personally brought Megan into the crew and trained and guided her, motivating her to soar on the road of acting.

Who doesn't know how good Director Li is at training actors?
Yang Mi, who was just waiting to apply for the Beijing Film Academy when she was old enough, is now filming the second season of a new hit TV series in Hong Kong.

Megan is basically the same as Zhang Jiani, the most prestigious and influential newcomer in Class 03. But that’s not right, Megan will be eighteen years old in 20 days.

It’s not small.

When Liu Yifei and Architect Jiang, and then Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin and other seniors from Class 02 came to watch, Megan was already surrounded like a moon surrounded by stars and could not squeeze into the inside.

Architect Jiang looked at Megan and sighed, "The newcomers nowadays are getting more and more powerful. Aren't they just prettier than me, sexier than me, more exotic than me, and have better figures than me..."

"Starting out with the likes of Gong Li, Zun Long, and Senior Brother Li is so sour."

"What do you think of Megan's acting on set? Was she scolded to death by Senior Brother Li?"

Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin looked at each other.

After all these times you've done better than me, are you still curious?
Liu Yifei was amused. "It must be a passing grade. It's much better than my performances in Golden Age and Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been sent to Berlin by senior Gong Li to compete for an award."

That's a movie that's worthy of an award-winning film!

The goal was to win the 2004 top award, the most prestigious and influential in the global film industry.

Xiao Liu feels that with her acting skills that are often criticized, she may never have the chance to go to the Berlin International Film Festival in her lifetime.

It's worth it to be able to star in a film of this level, even if it's just a supporting role!
Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin looked at each other again, still speechless.

Either explode in silence or stay in silence? ?

People are so irritating!
Is Liu Yifei still envious of Megan Fox's opportunities and success? But when they see Liu Yifei, they all look up to her and envy her.

The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils starring Liu Xiaoyu, the Hu Jun version premiered last night.

After all, it was the class of 2002 who first emerged and gained the most attention, even challenging Liu Yifei, who was among the top ten in last year's Asian beauty pageant.

In the Penguin Network's list of the world's most beautiful faces released in November 2003, Liu Yifei was crowned the most beautiful in Wuhan in 11 years and made it into the top 100.

It couldn't go any higher, so it went down.

Those Hollywood newcomers who have Hollywood capital and are currently filming or releasing film projects, whether it is Jessica Alba, Scarlett, Hathaway, Eva Green and so on.

There are many people who praise them.

From Quan Zhixian, Zhang Bozhi, Li Jiaxin, Tong Liya, Gao Yuanyuan and others, they are all competing for the top spot.

The Penguin Beauty Pageant website was paralyzed three times!
Last night, many people gathered in the cafeteria, supermarket or dormitory to watch Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

After Xiao Liu appeared on the stage, he already had a faint aura of a fairy.

This is really the case that there are always higher mountains than higher ones in the entertainment industry!

Architect Jiang complained about Megan a few more times before she asked curiously, "Sissi, be honest with me, do you regret turning down Director Chen's role as the female lead in The Promise?"

Before The Promise officially started filming in October, Lao Chen really asked Chen Hong to talk to Liu Yifei.

After all, there were many precedents at the time, and Lao Chen didn't have many options.

After hearing this, Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin were almost crying with jealousy!

That's The Promise. After all, he's a great director like Chen Kaige, one of the flag bearers of the Five Generations. He was rejected several times after Shi Guang and Zhang Bozhi.

Liu Yifei has refused them all.

Despite being jealous, Zhu Yawen quickly said, "It's normal to reject it. Things are so bad with Senior Brother Li over there, and there are so many projects starting up one after another."

"If you want to network with seniors from the 99th and 00th grades, you still have to refuse."

Liu Yifei also said embarrassedly, "I definitely don't regret it. I just see that my acting skills are not improving. I really want to learn from Shi Guang's Liu Shishi and Jiang Shuying and play supporting roles in dramas."

"Did people say their acting was also very wooden at first? That they couldn't pull it off?"

"But after two years of polishing, I gradually got the hang of it."

Although Li Wenyu told Liu Shishi and Jiang Shuying to keep the Goblin script a secret when he first gave them to them, once the news leaked, there would definitely be many people who would want to grab a piece of the Goblin pie.

If they are in the same company, someone with much better acting skills than them will be the one to snatch the spot.

Li Wenyu would not give 100% to the two women.

Liu Shishi and Jiang Shuying really kept their mouth shut, not wanting to regret it for the rest of their lives.

But the news gradually spread, and everyone knew that Time Media would shoot a big idol drama called "Chasing Your Star" in 04.

The female lead is Liu Shishi, who is comparable to Li Jiaxin in "My Sunshine"!

Why did the rumor spread? Director Xiao Yang has created costumes, props, and sets for many ghost TV series.

I heard that Xiao Yang originally wanted to shoot Goblin in Shanghai.

I don’t know why, but several city leaders in Beijing invited Xiao Yang to dinner. It seems that this new drama that is comparable to My Love from the Star can be filmed in Beijing!

We can help you run the audit!
After You Who Came From the Stars, all of Asia had a completely new understanding of Shanghai's image as an international metropolis.

When you mention the image of Shanghai, people will instinctively think that it is more developed than Hong Kong, and even more developed than Seoul and Tokyo.

In the residential area where the male and female protagonists of "My Sunshine", the house prices are rising rapidly.

We are about to enter 2004, a period in which Beijing, from top to bottom, has been working hard for a long time in preparation for the Olympics.

Since your internal standards are comparable to yours, and your influence is as great as yours, Xiao Yang, a student of the 01 directing department, is one of the hottest new stars in Beijing Film Academy.

When Liu Yifei mentioned Liu Shishi and Jiang Shuying?

Architect Jiang covered his heart, "Xixi, please let me take it easy. I'm heartbroken. We're all in the same industry, and you guys are just being too aggressive."

"Think about Huang Xiaoming and Qin Lan attending the New Police Story roadshow. Whether it's Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong Island, Taiwan North, Seoul, or Tokyo, wherever they go."

"Almost all the city police forces were deployed just to maintain law and order."

"Why does Senior Brother Li like to choose films that haven't even been released on campus yet?"

Architect Jiang wanted to say that she felt she was prettier than Jiang Shuying. As for Liu Shishi? Well, if she attended events or celebrations, her makeup and styling would be similar to the costumes and props from the "You Who Came From the Stars" series.

She really couldn't touch Liu Shishi's porcelain.

She doesn't have the resources to buy all her clothes, jewelry and other things of genuine quality from you, the star chaser.

Zhu Yawen was also worried, "Lao Luo, let's go back and find a place to have a drink?"

"I heard that the male lead and second lead in Goblin will be chosen from Deng, Jin Dong, and Hu Ya, all of whom are from the Central Academy of Drama and the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Hu Ya is even a junior at the Shanghai Theatre Academy!"

He even wanted to instigate the writing of a joint letter to express a small protest, asking Li Wenyu to consider his junior classmates in the same school more.

But this thought is just a thought.

In the 10 Forbes Mainland Rich List released in October, Li Wenyu was indeed the second richest man after the pig farmer.

Not long after that, his ranking climbed further.

Can these students who are still in school really cheat on such a great guy?

Luo Jin nodded, "We can't even get close enough to watch the fun, let's go and have a drink." They really came to see the fun of Megan Fox.

I wanted to see what the alumni who were going to Berlin looked like, but I couldn't even squeeze into the front row, so I decided to go drink instead.

…………

About the same time.

Li Wenyu was politely greeting the leaders from Beijing who came to his courtyard from the city.

The TV series Goblin takes place hundreds of years ago. The original drama is about the grievances and disputes between the emperor, powerful ministers and generals 900 years ago.

It involves the plot of the fall of true and false imperial power, rebellion, etc.

This must be optimized and translated into Chinese.

The play written by Li Wenyu was not set in the Song Dynasty in 1104, but in the late Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago.

The initial production of ancient costumes and props was aimed at the standards of the late Tang Dynasty. Xiao Yang had contacted Chang'an early on, and the work of various teams progressed smoothly.

Modern metropolitan background?
Of course, Lao Li is sure that he can also shoot in Beijing and the results will not be bad.

He regretted that he should have asked the city leaders to apply for review together.

Four months ago, he invited Mr. Han and the leaders of Renmin University to a dinner party. At that time, he was already the third richest man in mainland China and a media tycoon.

What if we had invited the city leaders at that time?

I can run less for many days.

Now there are many benefits for city leaders to join in. When filming or other applications are requested, they will definitely be given the green light, and there are many supporters.

When it comes to selling the first and second round broadcasting rights, Beijing TV will also actively bid for it.

Half an hour later, Li Wenyu saw off the leader in the courtyard. When he turned back to the second courtyard, Pang Bing came out with a smile, "Brother Yu, the news of the Goblin Project has spread."

"It's really blown up the entertainment industry! They're still renovating and decorating all kinds of photography locations!"

"Zhang Ziyi even cried and told me that she wanted to play the second female lead. She could terminate her contract with her previous agency at her own expense and come to us."

This is the second time that Huang Xiaoming has played the second male lead in Jackie Chan's Police Story after starring in You Who Came From the Stars, which has stimulated the box office.

Various roadshow on-site interactions, post-event questionnaires, Internet surveys, etc.

Most of the box office revenue for New Police Story was contributed by either Jackie Chan who was on the road show or Xiao Ming.

This is true for audiences from Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and South Korea.

Take the Time Movie section opened by Time Campus Network as an example. New Police Story now has 12 ratings and over 2 comments on the wall.

Still 50% of them are talking about Huang Xiaoming's good acting skills, good acting, amazing performance, etc. Huang Xiaoming's roadshows have replaced the appeal of F4's concert tours.

Some people are discussing the topic of Li Wenyu putting on makeup to look older, and some are discussing the topic of how much money he actually has.

This accounts for more than 15%.

Qin Lan and A Zu were also discussed a lot.

Jackie Chan is so embarrassing.

He is still very good at fighting and the story is also excellent, but the audience is aesthetically tired of him, and Jackie Chan in the film has not surpassed the Rumble in the Bronx, Who Am I, and Rush Hour series.

This has had a strong impact on people in the industry, proving that TV drama stars can really bring in box office revenue and make many times more money than Swallow, F4, etc.

Li Wenyu was at a loss for words, "Why is she causing trouble?"

After chatting and laughing with Pang Bing for a while, he set off for Weibo headquarters. He was away for more than a month, and even Manager Xu and others who were trying to catch a lucrative opportunity in the options pool wished they could turn into emotionless robots.

As the boss, he still has to come back and take charge and sort things out for a few days.

Now SoftBank's offer has valued the company at 10 billion US dollars, and Lao Xu's 1% has increased to 8200 million US dollars, equivalent to million RMB.

Time Campus has quoted a price of 3 million US dollars!
Moreover, the number of campus network registrations has exceeded 3500 million, which means that it has entered high school campuses in all aspects.

One of the biggest trends on the Internet at this stage is that high school students like to go to places where universities are gathered, leave messages and interact with college students, and ask what the school is like.

This has started to get the 04 college application process going.

Grasp this trend and help with the selection of college applications. If you do well, the campus network can be renamed and reach the whole society in 04.

Even if you set up ID card registration and authentication at that time, it will not be absolutely true.

But the impact on higher peaks is also very stable.

…………

December 12, around 16: p.m.

Li Wenyu rushed from Zhongguancun to the headquarters of Time Media. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Zhang Bozhi running towards him with a smile, "Brother Yu, all the preparations for Dark Glory are complete. Once you arrange the other main actors, we can start filming anytime."

"Director Wang is here today to ask you for your opinion on the work and meet the other creative directors. Oh, and Director Xu and Director Wu Yusen. It seems like the latter is coming back from Hollywood."

"I heard Director Xu said he wants to get to know you. He has a big project he wants to start and wants to seek investment from your time."

Old Li almost stumbled when he heard this. What the hell?

Wu Baige is back, and he wants to cheat him out of his money?!
He is now striving to become the richest man, but not everyone with a lot of money can be cheated.

As for the TV series Dark Glory? The South Korean version has only 16 episodes in two seasons, each 50 minutes long, which is shorter than "You Who Came From the Stars" in both duration and length.

He published the script in mid-October, aiming to promote Ah Zhi. Yongsheng and China Star have sold many copyrights of classic old films.

The director is Wang Jing.

This was after Li Wenyu gave the costume and props guidance and then passed it on to Feijing. As for the location selection and other various steps? The location in Hong Kong Island was selected.

According to your level, Wang Jing can easily copy it clearly.

Shi Guang and the Xiang family split the film sales revenue 70% and 30% respectively, with Shi Guang taking 70%.

Speaking of other actors in the creative team, Li Wenyu had been notified before, but the final interview had not been confirmed yet. He had just returned from the United States and was busy with Weibo and the campus network.

Did Xu Ke drop out of filming Seven Swords midway to introduce Wu Yusen to him as a middleman? What a rip-off, Old Xu.

Li Wenyu steadied himself and complained feebly, "I'm quite confident that Director Wang Jing can make a good film. It's just a fashion idol drama."

"The main cast has confirmed that if you start filming, you will be able to produce a finished product before Goblin."

His butterfly effect caused Zhang Yimou to stop filming House of Flying Daggers, and also caused Stephen Chow to concentrate on preparing for Kung Fu Hustle 2.

Even Jackie Chan returned to Chinese-language films ahead of schedule, and the project achieved huge financial success.

Chen Kaige's The Promise, which was a big hit, invited Chen Guanxi and Yan Zi, and even the original role of Liu Ye was replaced by Yao Dazui.

Lu Chuan's Hoh Xil encountered a serious plagiarism crisis as soon as filming began. He was sued by the original author and then the filming was interrupted because the investor withdrew his investment.

But it's still outrageous to blow Wu Baige back and cheat him of his money!

This Old Wu is not only the tiankeng, but also the initiator and biggest promoter of the "Heavenly Banquet" in Hong Kong-Macao Bay!
Ah Zhi saw that the man's expression was somewhat clever and intelligent, so she lowered her voice and asked curiously, "You don't like Director Wu?"

"Director Wu also said before that if the new project goes well, he would like to ask me or Sister Xin or Sister Bingbing to play the leading female role."

Li Wenyu was amused. "What's his new project?"

Ah Zhi explained with a smile, "When I heard it was about the Three Kingdoms, he said he had loved the Romance of the Three Kingdoms since he was a child and wanted to showcase the charm of Chinese history and culture to a global audience through this new project."

What a sin!
