I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 403, It seems your idol knows how to make choices better than you.

Li Yun felt that the biggest drawback of her illness was not that they would try to occupy her mind from time to time.

Instead, they will use their worldview and their understanding to influence themselves.

To influence one's own actions and thoughts as an independent "person".

The choice made.

This is precisely what Li Yun thought—the most dangerous aspect of these guys.

That's it.

Purely to influence one's own perceptions and actions

"I will make my own choice about what kind of person I want to be. I don't need you to make the choice for me," Li Yun murmured.

Then, after packing up, we prepared to go to the so-called Busan International Film Festival.

To broaden one's so-called "international perspective".

Open your eyes and look at the world, look at those so-called excellent works, excellent Asian works.

of course

The main purpose is still to go on a date.

After that, I'll handle the exclusive endorsement matter with the martial arts association. Around that time, I should be able to return to the set of "New Three Kingdoms" to become Zhuge Liang.

Mr. Kongming.

This was Li Yun's first time going abroad.

I was still a little nervous.

However, when we arrived at Busan Airport, it didn't seem to be any different.

Like in Shanghai, there are more foreign faces.

I didn't have any other feelings.

I didn't have any particular feeling.

If I had to say, it's somewhat like Shanghai.

probably.

at this time.

"Welcome to Busan, the second largest city in South Korea." Jiang Wen smiled and said, "How does it feel?"

"It feels a bit like Shanghai."

"Like a combination of Shanghai and Shenzhen."

Jiang Chenggang also stroked his chin and said.

Next, Jiang Chenggang was going to negotiate the settlement of payments with SHOWBOX.

We've earned foreign exchange legitimately and proudly!

As for economic issues, they can be resolved by handing them over to Chiang Kai-shek.

Li Yun then turned around and said goodbye to Jiang Wen.

See you at the venue tomorrow.

"See you tomorrow. Let's explore Busan today." Jiang Wen paused and said, "Although I feel this place is only new to me this first time."

Jiang Wen was also very busy. After accompanying his friend Li Yun to social events, he had to go to social events within his own circle, namely with Zhang Mouzi.

See you when the Busan International Film Festival starts.

at this time.

Li Yun arrived in the metropolitan center of Busan.

"Brother Li!"

Then they found Liu Qianqian.

The beautiful woman under the moon is already waiting here early.

Waiting for Li Yun.

"This is my first time here."

"Me too."

You lied.

Li Yun smiled at Liu Qianqian.

The little girl's feigned ignorance was quite cute.

Liu Qianqian scratched her head.

Isn't it said that men like girls who are a little silly?

Then I'll just act a little clumsy.

Meanwhile, Liu Qianqian accompanied Li Yun as they strolled around Busan, the second largest city in South Korea.

To be honest, Li Yun didn't really experience much of the prosperity that others described.

Li Yun didn't feel much about it either.

Coincidentally, Liu Qianqian didn't feel the same way either.

It's far inferior to China.

But it's just the joy we feel now.

It comes from the people around you; as long as those people are there,

Even the most boring place can become interesting.

This feeling is exceptionally strong.

Liu Qianqian also came to understand something.

Is a place interesting?

His life also largely depends on who is with him.

Who is the person next to me?

I've been to Busan alone before, but I've never felt this way before.

This would allow Liu Qianqian to confirm her suspicions.

In my heart, Brother Li is different.

He's special.

It holds a special place in one's heart.

A position where no one has ever entered since childhood.

Compared to his mother, he was such a special person.

Liu Qianqian thinks.

However, they were somewhat anxious about gains and losses.

That's how I feel about Brother Li.

So how does Brother Li feel about himself?

Compared to her older sister Gao Yuanyuan.

Was my feeling towards him deeper or shallower?

So annoying.

The girl's worries were quickly replaced by a completely different scene.

It's fireworks.

Brilliant fireworks lit up the sky.

"Do you remember? During the celebration banquet for The Return of the Condor Heroes, which was at the beginning of the new year, you set off a long string of fireworks for me. They were really beautiful fireworks."

"So time always flies, that was our second official collaboration, wasn't it?"

"Yes, back then I hadn't completely gotten over the feeling that you were my cousin Murong." Liu Qianqian smiled with her eyes narrowed, seemingly finding the memory quite amusing.

It was at that time that it began.

Only then did I begin to have some other feelings.

I have a different feeling about being an actor.

It wasn't because her mother told her that this path was viable.

That's why I made that choice.

I am no longer like a puppet on a string.

Doing what her mother thought was right.

Both aspire to become actors.

This time, the starting point is myself.

This is the choice I, Liu Qianqian, made for my own future.

The passion that drives us.

A small joy that was created.

A small joy.

I want to chase after a certain shadow, I want to chase after a certain image that I admire.

He was not only special and unique, but also my idol, the one I followed in his footsteps.

A figure searching for answers on his own.

That's Li Yun.

That is the pursuit I aspire to.

If we want to add a deadline to this date.

"I hope it will last forever." At this moment, Liu Qianqian looked at the dazzling fireworks, her eyes reflecting a divine light.

"What do you hope for that will last forever?"

"It's nothing," Liu Qianqian said playfully. "You can guess, Brother Li."

"Hey."

Li Yun smiled at this moment.

But I also hope for this moment.

It could last longer.

Some people are indulging in romantic musings.

There were still people working like oxen and horses. Jiang Chenggang was sweating profusely as he calculated the accounts.

"Cheers, Mr. Kim Moo-hyun."

"Cheers, Mr. Jiang. It's my good fortune to be able to cooperate with you." Standing opposite Jiang Chenggang, the South Korean man raised his glass of red wine and smiled slightly.

"You flatter me, Mr. Jin." Jiang Chenggang felt somewhat flattered.

This time, the total box office was only around $800 million.

Actually, it's not that much when you add it all up.

This time, however, I earned legitimate foreign exchange.

That's the key point.

Foreign exchange.

Very few domestically produced films can earn foreign exchange these days.

This melting pot of our own has gone beyond national borders, which is of great significance.

"You Chinese films are really daring to make movies. We can't even make such a thought-provoking film in our own country. Those filmmakers are all bound by capital. They dare not criticize the status quo, let alone capital." Mr. Kim Moo-hyun took a sip of wine and said with some emotion, "Your 'Silenced' is already catching up with the pace of our country's film industry."

At this moment, Jiang Chenggang felt that something was a little strange.

Orion Group, do you really allow the public to hurl insults at you? Movies about food safety issues probably wouldn't pass your censorship.

Anyway.

Whatever he says goes.

Jiang Chenggang also doesn't understand some things about South Korean movies.

Anyway, once you've made money in foreign exchange, that's enough.

But upon closer inspection, that doesn't make sense either.

What do you mean by "catching up with the pace of your country's films"?

This is not good.

That doesn't quite add up either.

This arrogance beneath the sincerity made Jiang Chenggang feel slightly uncomfortable.

You could even say you're not used to it.

That condescending attitude.

"By the way, Mr. Jiang, you'll be attending the Busan International Film Festival this year, right? I have a few invitations here that you can attend with our company. Mr. Li, the lead actor, can also join us."

"No need, Shengchang Culture has its own place at the Busan International Film Festival," Jiang Chenggang refused outright.

"How come you have your own seats?"

Kim Moo-hyun was puzzled, even somewhat surprised.

"That's impossible."

"Why not? Mr. Kim, didn't you say that our film is an excellent film? So it's not strange that our company has its own place at the Busan International Film Festival."

Jiang Chenggang smiled slightly.

The look in Kim Moo-hyun's eyes seemed off; it turned out that his earlier acknowledgment of the film's excellence was merely a hypocritical formality, masking a deep-seated arrogance and doubt.

He simply didn't believe that films from China could reach the grand stage of Asia and achieve any success or ranking on their home turf.

Asia.

That's the first hurdle.

A film needs to reach an international level.

The first step is to achieve results in the Asian region.

Busan International Film Festival.

Busan is only the organizer this time.

But its full name is the Asian Film Festival.

It is the first stop on the road to internationalization.

In the past, the Hong Kong and South Korean film circles have been more prominent.

Looking at domestic movie stars.

Only Chengshilong has achieved such widespread popularity.

Break out of Asia.

What makes Cheng Shilong special is that, apart from a very short period of time when he was affiliated with Hollywood, he has always created his own original works.

It wasn't about climbing up the social ladder by clinging to Hollywood.

Instead, it has grown to the point where it can look at Hollywood on equal footing.

That's what makes him so special.

As for Kim Moo-hyun, at least in the Asian entertainment industry, and at least in the country of China.

The only filmmaker he truly respected was Cheng Shilong.

Only that legendary filmmaker deserves respect.

They deserve absolute respect, as for other Chinese people...

Kim Moo-hyun didn't think this place could produce any outstanding works.

This place is only fit to be used as an ATM.

Love for the Camphor Tree.

Zhang Yimou's films have made a generation of "Zhang Yimou girls" famous.

One of the newest, and perhaps the most evergreen in the future.

Her arrival at this time coincided with a major publicity campaign being held at the company.

Cheng Tian Jiahe is making preparations in full swing.

Walking the red carpet at the Asian Film Festival.

Moreover, she even appeared on screen during the film's opening ceremony.

That would be very impressive.

Even Fan Bingbing had to accompany her on the red carpet.

For a time, they were incredibly popular.

"This can be considered a new generation replacing the old. Back then, I was the focus of attention on the red carpet, but now this new generation has stolen the limelight." Fan Bingbing said sourly from not far away, watching the swarm of media people.

Although she was also in the center position.

Although her status in China is indeed higher than Zhou Dongyu's.

But now, at the Busan International Film Festival, this girl is standing right in front of him.

In other words, she occupies the center position here.

It's unbelievable that one day even I, Fan Bingbing, have to play a supporting role to her.

"Sister Fan, this time his work was featured at the opening ceremony of the Busan International Film Festival." Peng Yuyan also came to Busan, and according to Wang Jinghua, she brought him here to broaden his international horizons.

Don't keep focusing on someone in China.

A broader perspective is needed!

We need to broaden our perspective.

Open your eyes and see the world.

Even someone like Wang Jinghua, who is used to taking the traffic route, knows that taking the Hollywood route is the right path for an actor.

No matter how much effort is put into the domestic market, it only has a market of 12 billion people.

But if we look at the whole world...

It's a market of 80 billion people.

Hollywood occupies a market of 80 billion people.

"The opening ceremony was amazing. Zhang Yimou's works never disappoint," Sister Fan said with a faint smile.

I'm not talking to you anymore.

Subsequently, photography media from across Asia also flocked to the scene.

The cameras with their long lenses and short lenses moved over her.

Fan Bingbing is also an international star, having made her mark at major film festivals such as Cannes in her early years.

Even those who are "carpet stars" (celebrities who don't have many works).

But in terms of status, they are international-level.

Peng Yuyan doesn't want to deny this.

Carpet stars are also a type of celebrity.

Walking the red carpet also helps expand one's influence.

Are they neither good nor bad?

At least that's what Peng Yuyan thinks.

When it comes to celebrities, those with substantial work are more convincing.

"It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat. Whether it's acting, walking the red carpet, or even doing variety shows, as long as people like it, it's a good star, and that's a big star." Wang Jinghua was watching Peng Yuyan from the side.

Now it has stepped onto the international stage.

It hasn't reached the international level yet; it's still only in the Asian region.

Peng Yuyan is no longer recognized.

It has lost all its influence.

"It's a bit disheartening. I've worked hard to make films over the years, but my influence is not as great as someone who hasn't made any films for years."

However, at this time, Peng Yuyan...

But he said...

"But Zhou Dongyu also got here through her work, didn't she?"

"Yes, that's why you should be looking at the right people. It should be Zhou Dongyu and the likes, or Zhang Ziyi and the likes, those who are going international."

"Do you remember Chang Wei who starred in The Matrix? He was just a supporting actor back then, but because he chose to go to Hollywood, his influence was greater than most of his Hong Kong A-list predecessors. He was even more influential internationally than Andy Lau. The Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong were just the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong, but The Matrix on the international stage was The Matrix."

Wang Jinghua does not deny that Eddie Peng needs to take a certain path in terms of her work.

I just feel that he should broaden his horizons.

Open your eyes and see the world.

Just as Wang Jinghua was about to say that.

A figure standing like a lackey.

She smiled.

"It seems your idol knows better how to make choices than you do."
