Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 98: Learn to hit the moon! [Seeking monthly votes]

Li Wenyu's 2003: two films, a book, and a website.

The book naturally refers to "The Hunger Games", which is a continuous series, and the website refers to Time Campus Network.

Needless to say, the filming of [Extreme Job] started in March and April. The big team had been preparing for it for a long time, but it may have been delayed for a few months due to SARS.

Didn’t you see that Quan Zhixian’s fancy-style Baguazhang is almost passing the test?!
Another movie is an award-winning film similar to Marriage Story, Blue Jasmine.

This is the story of Cate Blanchett, who became famous worldwide for her role as the Elf Queen in The Lord of the Rings and won the Oscar for Best Actress in 2013.

Kate won the Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Actress for this movie.

Yinglun Film Academy Best Actress, Golden Satellite Best Actress, Yinglun James Empire Award Best Actress, American Independent Spirit Film Award Best Actress...

It’s sold out!
All are trophies obtained!

Moreover, the story of "Blue Jasmine" was nominated for the 2014 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

Best Original Screenplay, not adapted from a best-selling book.

The original director and screenwriter was inspired by a financial fraud case during the 2008 financial crisis.

It tells the story of a forty-something woman who entered the upper class from the bottom of society through marriage and found out that her husband made his fortune by opening a company on Wall Street through fraud.

But she pretended not to know for more than a decade.

She knew that her husband had mistresses, and when her sister reminded her who her husband was close to, she still pretended to be ignorant in order to maintain her dignity as a wealthy lady.

It was not until her husband said he fell in love with a French exchange student from France and wanted to give her an explanation and said he would not treat her unfairly that the heroine cried and called the FBI.

The husband was arrested and went bankrupt.

She went bankrupt with huge debts and fell from being a wealthy wife to the bottom of the American society. She is not young anymore.

Even so, she was still working as a receptionist in a dental clinic introduced by her sister in another city, while disguising herself by carrying second-hand brand-name clothing, bags, etc. that had not been confiscated by the court.

Go to high-end cocktail parties to meet new bachelors.

She wants to change her fate as a member of the lower social class by getting married again and achieve class transition.

American dentists are respectable people and earn a lot of money. The owner of the dental clinic where she works is also a middle-aged white man who is not ugly. He pursued her but was rejected.

I look down on middle-class dentists and only want to hook up with rich men, just like the popular saying 20 years later that the domineering CEO must fall in love with me during menopause.

Finally, I met a US foreign affairs officer in Europe at the cocktail party, who has great future development prospects.

In order to develop her relationship with the other party, the heroine made up all kinds of false backgrounds, such as she was an interior designer, her ex-husband died unexpectedly, and she had no children.

Then her sister's ex-husband exposed her for lying.

Failed to get married!

By the end, even if she doesn't want to admit it, the heroine no longer wears second-hand brand-name clothes to pretend to be upper class, making sure that the bosses won't fall in love with her like that.

In the story of Blue Jasmine, the heroine won a lot of Best Actress trophies through a series of wonderful performances, and her sister, who played the supporting actress, received a lot of nominations for Best Supporting Actress.

This requires a lot of acting skills.

There is another piece of data. Blue Jasmine is all literary drama. Everything depends on the actors' acting skills. Even if it is shot quickly, it can be completed in one month.

But she didn't expect any box office success, unlike "Marriage Story". Jasmine grossed 3300 million US dollars in North America and 9900 million US dollars worldwide, just a little short of breaking million.

The cost is low and the investment is small, and if the acting is good enough, it can win both awards and box office.

When Gong Li first asked him to help her get an Oscar and that she would help Lao Li get the Best Director or Best Film awards in Berlin, Cannes, or Venice, Li Wenyu thought of this project.

I haven't started writing yet.

Gong Liruo plays a Chinese female character who marries a wealthy white man in the United States and changes her social class?
This is a sure thing. If you perform normally, you can win an Oscar. There are examples like Murdoch's wife in real life.

Whether it can be successfully implemented in the end depends on the strength of the reward-seeking forces.

This is much better than Sister Gong playing the villain of a Japanese geisha.

When his expression changed and he didn't know what to say for a moment, Gong Li, who was very good at reading people's expressions, was surprised, "Director Li, is it true?"

Li Wenyu nodded, "I did have the inspiration. It's a story with a strong female lead. The inspiration came from the last time I filmed Marriage Story in the United States."

"With a white male star and a Chinese actress collaborating like the one they did with Columbia last time, there's a real chance that someone with such acting skills will win an Oscar for Best Actress."

"But I just have an idea and am still developing it."

At this point, he noticed that Quan Zhixian was so excited that she could hardly sit still, so he waved his hand and said, "Xiao Quan, this is irrelevant. The heroine is about 40 years old and has a divorce scene."

"It's probably about a woman who gets married and changes her social class, but then her husband goes bankrupt and goes to jail, and she falls back to the bottom of society, and then she has to find the meaning of her life again."

Quan Zhixian instantly regained her composure, "Then I really don't have a chance, but Director Li, I want an ad spot."

She's so excited to have another screenplay project up for an Oscar!! Her talent is incredible!

Although it is not her turn, it is more important to help Elephant Group and Samsung obtain advertising cooperation.

It’s agreed that the product will quietly enter the European and American markets?
Once her value is proven, she can rely on the big brother of Samsung and the eldest princess of Elephant, and no longer have to worry about IHQ.

Gong Li fainted for a few seconds. What a bold move Jeon Ji-hyun made by asking for an advertisement?

She quickly came to her senses and said, "Director Li, I'll wait patiently. It doesn't cost a penny."

"Also, regarding my commercial projects or endorsements, I'll follow your lead for three years without charging a penny. I'll discuss this with my agency."

She is signed to Wang Jiawei.

But Director Li has too many successful precedents.

The project is still under consideration. Next month, it will be announced that Zhang Guorong has been nominated for the Best Actor Award at the Oscars.

This breaks the record of Chinese male actors having zero records in the Oscar Best Actor competition!

The Best Actress nomination also marks the first time a Chinese actress has broken the record.

Li Wenyu laughed dumbly, "Don't get too excited yet. The project will probably be released by the time we finish filming. It's still early."

Gong Li's conditions were good, and he wanted to agree directly.

This is still for the purpose of winning the Oscar, so that he can criticize super bad movies such as "The Promise", "Red Cliff", "The Crossing" and "Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains", including money laundering movies, to build up momentum for himself and gild his image.

Li Wenyu is really not in a hurry.

How much can Blue Jasmine earn at the box office? Compared with the potential for raising funds for Time Campus Network, it's a drop in the bucket.

Old Li remembered something again. "If I remember correctly, Director Wang's 2046 is about to start filming, right? This schedule would conflict."

Wang Jiawei's famous 2046 tormented the Japanese director Takuya Kimura for several years.

Dong Wei was in great trouble.

But Gong Li was the leading actress, and the entire shooting period was about a year. This romantic science fiction film was released in September 04.

Put aside post-production special effects and other production.

The startup is just around the corner!

Gong Li laughed. "No problem. I'll quit and let Director Wang replace me. He'll just try to win the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Taiwanese Golden Horse Awards. It'll all depend on his luck at Cannes or Berlin." "I can keep my schedule open for a year or two to wait for Director Li's new work."

Li Wenyu, "..."

The original version of 2046 did win many Asian awards and was nominated for Cannes. It also had a good box office, grossing 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars worldwide.

He nodded, "Let's reach a consensus for now. It doesn't matter whether we support you or continue to support Hollywood actresses. It's easier for Hollywood actresses to win Best Actress trophies."

"But I need a real big trophy too!"

So far, he has won the Best Screenplay Award at Cannes and was nominated for Best Director at the Golden Globe.

Why is this little poetry master so arrogant and doesn't take anyone seriously? He made a few big splashes when he debuted, but he's been living off his old age.

Lao Li wants to complain. With the help of the brain evolution brought by the fitness attribute of up to 300 points, combined with the additional points for more than half a year, he has accumulated 100 points in four new subjects.

The American old man Ma can package himself from the second generation of mining to the new generation of Brother Gai, shouting about developing Mars every day.

He occasionally wondered if he could use some hacking tools to develop Mars with Musk, and he would definitely land on Mars before Musk.

His cheat is too amazing!
After returning from Hollywood, the workload in 03 was not heavy, just two movies, a book and a website.

After all, there was a few months of downtime in between.

If he studies materials science from scratch, he can reach the peak of human capabilities in a few months, or even surpass the peak capabilities.

Starting from materials science, should we work on rockets or spacecraft? ? ? Should we learn to shoot a rocket to the moon?
When Shiguang Weibo and Shiguang Campus Network successively raised funds and had massive financial support, the mainland's aerospace industry was publicly owned, so he could go to Hong Kong Island to start a private company.

What if we spent 20 years to build our own rocket launch base and spacecraft? Then we can shoot movies like The Martian and Interstellar.

No, these still need big special effects!

Only by filming "Gravity" can you have the opportunity to experience real scenes without using special effects.

This will require dozens of new disciplines.

From materials science, aerospace engineering, aircraft design and engineering, aircraft power engineering, aircraft manufacturing engineering, to aircraft environment and life support engineering, etc.

Aerospace engineering involves more than a dozen disciplines, including aerodynamics, heat transfer and combustion, engine design, flight control, flight mechanics, and aircraft integrated electronic systems.

He is 22 years old and once he sets this big goal.

That’s true. I don’t have to be confused or worry about being idle for the next 30 years.

Is it possible for the second-generation miner Elon Musk to talk about going to Mars every day? Can't those who are cheating with him join in the nonsense?

And 20 years later, China has won a lot of things, such as the most comprehensive industrial system in the world.

Keep moving forward in that era and make it even better!

…………

On January 1, Li Wenyu took a flight back to Beijing, and Pang Bing was already waiting to pick him up at the airport.

As the nanny car drove out of the airport, Pang Bing excitedly grabbed his phone and said, "Brother Yu, Director Chen fired a shot on Weibo a while ago, saying that some unscrupulous directors are being bullied because they have become big bosses."

"You're actually forcing your own actors and those with whom you have a good relationship not to take part in his films. This behavior is shameless and is simply killing the future of Chinese cinema."

"Many academics are jumping on the bandwagon and criticizing you. They didn't mention your name, but the direction was clear. They're all calling me a masterpiece that's earned 2 million RMB at the box office. I'm the only one of my kind in China."

"How do we fight back? The entire internet is paying attention to this, and it's a hot topic."

It's more than just a hot topic of discussion.

When we were on the plane, the hottest news on the mainland Internet was that Zhang Guorong won the Best Actor Award at the Berlin and Cannes Film Festivals in 2002.

At the beginning of 03, he was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, and he might even be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor.

Plus Li Wenyu was nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Director, and Winona won the Golden Globe for Best Actress?
After The Shallows and The Piano Tuner, he was dubbed the number one Chinese director and the savior by netizens.

This move by the poetry master Lao Chen was a sneak attack, and it also took the initiative to divert attention and suppress the popularity of Li Wenyu's nomination for Best Director at the Golden Globe Awards.

During the commentary, Pang Bing also took out his Nokia 7650 and opened the photo album to show Lao Li the pictures.

This is a photo of the Weibo updates on the computer taken with a mobile phone, mainly showing Lao Chen’s criticisms on Weibo.

Mobile phones can now access the Internet. The 2G network speed is 15 to 20K per second, which is really only suitable for opening text URLs and not for viewing pictures.

Li Wenyu was watching, and Fat Bing caught Old Li's weakness and said with a smile, "Have you ever been to the United States to eat Winona? That age is like Sister Xin putting out fires."

Old Li shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Don't make a fuss, this is purely a business cooperation."

Pang Bing has long been unable to bear his speed and passion, and wants to find a helper, and has considered Yuanyuan.

Gao Yuanyuan also publicly expressed her state after the breakup and often acted like a fangirl.

It's still outrageous to bring up Winona.

He put away his phone and said, "I might work with Gong Li in 03. After filming Extreme Job and something like Marriage Story, I'll be ready for an Oscar. She can help me win the Best Director award at Berlin or Cannes."

"It's just that the schedule is hard to predict, and it needs to be considered comprehensively."

This is a true win-win business cooperation.

It's like SARS. If you stay indoors for several months, you will miss a lot of things.

If it is released directly after filming, it will not be able to compete in the three major European films, and can only be nominated for an Oscar.

Or shoot in autumn and winter, aim for the 2004 Berlin or Cannes, and compete for the 2005 Oscars?

Fat Bing nodded. "Sister Li? She's a very good firefighter, but even if she and Sun Honglei are involved in a scandal, they're married after all. It's so immoral. You might as well go after Yuanyuan."

"Of course, if you're really interested in that girl, I won't be too opposed to her, but you have to tell me in advance. I want to help you have a baby."

"I'm really afraid she'll drop it on me."

Li Wenyu was numb.

Pang Bing is only 22 years old and like this? He learned it from Chen Hong, so it shouldn't be that bad.

Whether it is Winona or Gong Li, they are just normal collaborations and nothing else. He is not so morally upright as to mess with someone who is married.

He is so stupid. Ah Zhi, who is in her early 20s, has been trying to please him but he has always rejected her. Rosamund Kwan even wanted to pay him millions to keep him for a month.

He thought for a few seconds and nodded, "Okay, I've started my own business and have a decent net worth. I'm not afraid of not being able to raise a child."

After a few minutes of pleasantly surprised conversation, Fat Bing said in disbelief, "You really dare to agree to this? I was just trying to scare you."

"You're only 22 and you dare to agree to this?"

Li Wenyu has assets worth tens of billions. Ever since she first heard the offer from South African Newspapers, she has been feeling uneasy.

Pang Bing was quite touched that she dared to agree to have a child. Look at Li Jiaxin, Wang Zuxian, Liu Jialing, Li Zhi and other big stars. Which one of them had it easy to marry into a wealthy family?
Li Wenyu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "If you dare to have a baby, I dare to keep it. Look at the people in Hong Kong and Macau, how many of them don't have children?"

Pang Bing was stunned again. "Rosamund Kwan, Elaine Lee, Chow Wai Man, Joey Wong, Zhu Yin, Cai Shaofen, Guo Aiming, then the Xu Ke couple, Patrick Tam, Brother Hua, and so on. Oh my god, this feng shui is poisonous."

She made up her mind instantly and decided that Yuanyuan should think about it more.

But she can recommend more aunts.
