Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 44 My Love from the Star [Please Read! ]

At noon on the 15th, when Li Wenyu was still chatting with the Indians in the Shancheng Building area, his cell phone rang. It was a text message from Li Jiaxin.

"Director Li, do you have time to have lunch together? Let's try the dinner that Uncle Long invited Sister Bao Ling to in Dragon Warrior. I've rented a yacht so we can go out to sea."

Li Wenyu, "..."

After thinking for a few seconds, he lit a cigarette and replied, "Okay, I just happen to have a project that will probably be filmed in mainland China after October this year. I'll be the female lead in a TV series. If you're interested, you can consider it."

Is Li Jiaxin still taking on TV dramas now? Yes.

This is also the end of her life as she will retire from the screen in a few years and live the standard life of a "rich wife".

The TV series he was talking about is "My Love from the Star". Does the TV series make money?
Take Aunt Qiong's Return of the Condor Heroes trilogy, for example. The broadcasting rights were sold to TV stations in mainland China, round after round, and the videotape copyright was also sold.

This is not to mention the copyright in the future Internet era. Aunt Qiong made more than 100 million yuan from the three "Return of the Condor Heroes" series in the mainland, and the same amount of money was earned when sold to various countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

The same is true for South Korea's Autumn in My Heart and Meteor Garden, both of which are super profitable IPs, and there will be many remakes in the future.

More than a decade later, many people may not understand how popular Meteor F4 is now!
My Love from the Star wasn't long, but its ratings were considered a phenomenal drama in the 10s. It was filmed and aired back in 02...

Li Wenyu not only hopes to make money from "You Who Came From the Stars", but also wants to interrupt the development trend of the developing Korean Wave, including the Taiwanese Wave, by the mainland Chinese Wave.

This image battle is more important! We cannot allow the trend of Korean pop stars being superior to mainland Chinese stars to continue.

He is now making movies, and it is much easier for mainland actresses to get promoted than for male actors, which is why he was able to successfully film The Shallows, including arranging for Pang Bing to be the female lead.

But in the next few years, it will not only be the naturally superior people who go to the mainland from Hong Kong.

Wei Zhentian’s evil deeds cannot be washed away, but someone of her status has to play a supporting role to an old model in Red Cliff, which is so out of character!

Li Wenyu has finished filming "You Who Came From the Stars", a mainland idol drama that has been exported to East Asia and Southeast Asia and has slaughtered the ratings. He used one of Li Jiaxin's invincible reputations to play a supporting role for a mainland young actor. When he opens a company, he will also sign people from his own company.

This is another way to improve your resource circle and voice.

This TV series is a product outside of his film plan and will not affect the development of the film, otherwise he would not have said today, January 1, that filming would start after October.

What do you think of Li Jiaxin's looks? Jeon Ji-hyun filmed "You Who Came From the Stars" at 32, versus Li Jiaxin at 32? Who's weaker?

Ah Xin, who originally had poor acting skills and had been in the film and television industry for many years but still couldn't play the role of a vase, played a female star on the small screen and was doted on by various handsome aliens and invincible boyfriends...

This is a viewership that the audience cannot resist.

The professor in You Who Came From the Stars is definitely at the top of the pyramid in the circle of imaginary boyfriends.

Li Jiaxin quickly replied with a reply that included the dock information, the ship's number, and its appearance. She then continued, "Director Li, you're so funny. You're making hundreds of millions of dollars at a time, and you're going to film a TV series? I'm already 32, and you're still teasing me."

As Li Wenyu got into the car and set off, he replied calmly, "We've made a lot of money selling the copyrights for the Autumn in My Heart and the Return of the Condor Heroes series, plus the videotapes, etc. We've made hundreds of millions in profit."

"With my reputation as a director, I can make an idol drama set in a modern metropolis at zero cost, even if it's my first foray into TV dramas, even if I ask Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, or Chanel for advertising sponsorship."

A few text messages went by.

Ah Xin was silent for about ten minutes before replying, "You seem to be right. If a TV series like this is well-made with a good female lead, wouldn't she become as popular as Yan Zi?"

Yan Zi’s popularity is not just about how much money she makes from filming commercials.

After she became famous, the boyfriends she had were basically all young men of the second and third generations!

Li Wenyu laughed, "Looking at the quality of the show, whether it's F4 or Shancai, they've all seen a surge in resources and are incredibly popular across Asia. It's easy for them to keep one character for ten years."

As they chatted, they arrived at a pier where there were not many people around. Li Wenyu boarded the yacht alone, very low-key, wearing a mask.

He also asked Xiao Hu to hire a few more people to talk to Indians on a regular basis, discussing various topics such as Indians' memories and impressions of their motherland, sectarian conflicts, the gap between the rich and the poor, class, etc.

These long-term records...

As long as he recorded a lot, it would serve as material for his work on Slumdog Millionaire. These topics are also the most likely to spark controversy and discussion, including those that are explored in depth for the sake of awards.

After he boarded the yacht, Li Jiaxin quickly approached him, "Director Li, I'm the only female friend here sailing out to sea. I've prepared some dishes from a big restaurant. Shall we heat them up and eat them?"

"The project you mentioned earlier made me a little excited."

"Even after many years of debut and dozens of films, there are still many fans who say that I can't even play a vase, and I can't even compare to Rosamund Kwan, who has the role of Aunt Thirteen as her representative work."

Li Wenyu, "..."

View target: Li Jiaxin
Acting, (68/100).

Emotional intelligence, (81/100).

Healthy, (75/100).

……

It turns out that this guy, who has been around for a while, is almost the same as Fatty Bing when he first met him, which makes him very uncomfortable.

What can I say? This ordinary vase role is still a stronger version than the Big Secret, Liu Shishi and the like.

He took out a cigarette with melancholy, and Li Jiaxin helped to light it. "Are we going out to sea now? I think it's not important what you eat for a meal, but who you eat with."

"Director Li, would you mind talking to me more about the idol drama you're planning?"

At first, she wanted to get movie resources, but the Korean male and female protagonists of "My Fair Princess" and "Meteor Garden" were all from Yan Zi, and "Autumn in My Heart" were from F4.

It really made her realize that starring in a hit idol drama that dominated the ratings in East Asia and Southeast Asia also helped the protagonist's status soar.

Li Jiaxin herself is not short of film resources.

She lacks a masterpiece that will be remembered by fans forever!
…………

after a while.

The yacht was floating on the sea. Li Jiaxin saw Li Wenyu finishing all eight dishes on the table. Her eyes widened. "How can you maintain such a good figure after eating so much?"

She only drank a few glasses of red wine and ate a few bites of warm steak and fruit platter.

Even so, Li Jiaxin had heard from some friends a long time ago that Director Li, this young man, has a big appetite and often eats a lot at the hotel buffet.

Li Wenyu wiped his mouth and said, "I'm exercising a lot, so I can only eat more to maintain balance. I've almost finished discussing the outline with you. Will you come on this project?"

Li Jiaxin nodded. "You have a great imagination, as expected. I don't ask for any salary if I accept the film. I just want a masterpiece. Let's go to a remote sea area and have some fun in the water. When I watched The Shallows, I never thought Hong Kong Island would have such a beautiful sea view."

January in Hong Kong Island... For example, the water temperature in Repulse Bay remains between 16 and 27 degrees Celsius all year round.

Li Wenyu was speechless. "Goodbye, you've been drinking."

Li Jiaxin laughed. "You should drink more too? To be honest, I've been single for over a year. I've had a lot of suitors, but people as good as you are so rare. My life with Lao Liu was such a failure."

She broke up completely with her fan Liu Cixin in 2000 and no longer had any illusions about him.

…………

A few days passed in a flash, and it was January 1, the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Once strangers, twice familiar. In order to discuss the project of "You Who Came From the Stars", Li Jiaxin was asked to meet her several times at sea. At noon on the 22nd, on a yacht, Sister Xin couldn't help but curse, "Ayu, you are really Yu... I'm in big trouble this time."

What if she wants to hook up with a rich young man in the future and he finds out that she has become Miss Hong Kong? No rich man is so stupid.

She just wanted to use each other's idle resources, without talking about feelings or money, and she was badly cheated!
