Victor Hugo was a great French writer. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces returned victoriously from the Far East, someone asked him what he thought. Hugo said that this was just an act of banditry, with no glory of victory at all, and no glory at all.
Nothing to brag about.
The most famous of his works is "Notre Dame de Paris", and the book Li Hyuk is reading is called "The Man Who Laughs". The story is very tragic and can give people some thoughts.
The scenery in Cannes in early June is beautiful. Because of the film festival, it attracts tourists from all over the world every May and June. Of course, Li Hyuk came here not for tourism, but because "La La Land" starring in him was placed in Cannes.
Premiered.
Due to some delays, Li Hyuk didn't make it to the premiere, but he still came to Cannes to meet up with the cast and crew and attend several events.
"La La Land" received numerous praises upon its premiere, especially for the male lead played by Lee Hyuk and the female lead played by Emma Stone, whose acting skills were highly praised.
A well-known French entertainment newspaper even opened a special section to introduce this movie. From the director to the starring actors, from the plot to the pictures, everyone was highly praised.
For the romantic French people, this romantic song is undoubtedly a hit. The movie's popularity at the Cannes Film Festival was naturally reported by the domestic media with keen sense of smell. Back home, in Kai's case
At the time when the scandal broke out, news of the premiere of a Hollywood film starring Lee Hyuk at Cannes also attracted the attention of many fans and moviegoers.
Many people think that the premiere is equivalent to participating in the selection. In fact, this is not the case. "La La Land" has missed the time to register for the selection, and the distributor Warner Pictures fought for the opportunity to premiere.
Next, "La La Land" will visit major film festivals. After the Cannes Film Festival, the crew will come to Shanghai to participate in the Shanghai International Film Festival. Then there will be the Tokyo Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival until the film is released in
Released worldwide.
Warner Pictures is very optimistic that this film can make a difference during the awards season, and will focus on the Golden Globes and Academy Awards. Of course, the performance nominations require the efforts of Li Hyuk's team. If it gets an Oscar nomination, then
The effect is simply not too explosive.
After the event in Cannes, Lee Hyuk returned to China with the crew of "La La Land" to participate in the Shang Hai International Film Festival. Speaking of which, the Shang Hai International Film Festival can be regarded as his blessed place, and it is here that Li Hyuk
"Heart Labyrinth" won the first actor award in his life.
And once again returning to this blessed place, Li Hyuk proved that his popularity is at the top. The tickets for "La La Land" were sold out and the screening hall was packed. These fans from China gave the film the greatest affirmation and support, and also
This convinced Warner Pictures that this film would perform well in the Chinese market.
"La La Land" is indeed great, and many viewers who have watched the film have given it great praise even if they are not fans of Lee Hyuk. The media also used their public relations advantage to brag about the film, as if they didn't want to watch it.
It’s like a movie will suffer a loss.
Most of the movie fans who have gone to see it will agree with this idea, and some fans even shouted slogans such as "You don't have to watch other movies this year, but you must go see "La La Land".
Driven by the trolls, there are more and more discussions about this movie. The behind-the-scenes story of Li Hyuk and Emma Stone's participation in this movie, some news about the production of the movie, and all the soft news promotion are to attract people.
enough attention to build momentum for the release of the film.
The Shanghai Film Festival also only screened and did not participate in the selection. While Li He was busy promoting, he also paid attention to the progress of Kai's affairs. Knowing that Kai was finished, Li He didn't take it to heart.
After the Shanghai Film Festival ended, because the Tokyo Film Festival was still far away, Lee Hyuk went to Hollywood, where news came that auditions for "Blade Runner 2049" had officially begun.
Li He had already made mental preparations before going. This time he went there just to make up the numbers. It is impossible to hand over such a classic IP to a Chinese star because of political correctness.
In the suite where Li He stayed at the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, Qian Duoduo hung up the phone and said to Li He: "The choice of the leading actor has been decided, and Ryan Gollings will play the role."
Li He nodded to express his understanding: "Sure enough, I knew it was like this, but this harvest is still worth it, at least I feel familiar."
Li Hyuk's performance in the audition was not outstanding, but because of his skin color and some reasons, he really couldn't be the protagonist. "Blade Runner 2049" is an A-level large-scale production, unlike "La La Land", which is a small and medium-cost investment, so
Li Hyuk basically has no hope of getting the leading role.
Even the eldest brother Cheng Long returned to China in despair in the end. He didn't have a problem, the problem was the entire West. If you think about Michael Jackson, you'll know what the problem is. Such things cannot be explained clearly.
"Then let's go back to China first?" Qian Duoduo came with Li He this time. He was full of joy and thought that Li He could win the leading role, but his joy was in vain.
"Don't be in a hurry, I've already come here, so I'm a little bit reluctant to go back like this." Li He said, turning on the TV channel: "Please help me go to the Actors Guild to keep an eye out. If there are any good books, we can come and recommend them."
"ok, I get it..."
In fact, if you want to develop in Hollywood, it is best to have an American agent to represent you. However, Li Hyuk's focus is not on Hollywood, and he does not trust American agents, so he has never asked an American agent to represent him in Hollywood.
Li Hyuk is considered a high-quality resource in Hollywood, so naturally many brokerage companies came to him. However, after Li Hyuk clearly refused several times, they no longer had the intention. He is not a Hollywood superstar, so if he doesn't come, forget it.
Next, Li He stayed in Los Angeles for more than a week. Qian Duoduo contacted projects everywhere. However, good projects are not so easy to contact. After several encounters, he never came into contact with any good projects. Just when Li He was about to return to China, a project was sent to him.
Come to your door.
The "Fast and Furious" series has been shot from the beginning as a B-level movie to the eighth film in the series. Starting from the fourth film, the film has been moving towards an A-level production, reaching its peak in the seventh film.
Now, the eighth part of the series has officially started filming, but due to conflicts between Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson, the filming is not going smoothly, and there are still several characters that have not been finalized.
The production cost of Super 8 is as high as 250 million U.S. dollars. The producer, Universal Pictures, will never allow the film to fail to be completed as scheduled due to poor filming. And because several films have achieved good results in China, they came up with the idea of adding a Chinese actor.
So, it was only natural that Lee Hyuk would be attracted by it, and Universal Pictures sent an invitation. Lee Hyuk would play the role of a leader under the villain Seve, and finally help Dominic Toledo rescue his child, and then sacrificed his life.
There are not many scenes, but they are very important, but the purpose of putting them together is obvious, and they are obviously added at odd hours. Regardless of the quality of the movie, if Li Hyuk takes over, it will be of great help to his development in Hollywood.
But before that, star and producer Vin Diesel wanted to have a chat with Lee Hyuk.

How about writing about Chinese entertainment in the next one? Or do you want to read about other themes? I’ve written enough about Chinese entertainment, and I won’t write about this theme again after this one.
I put the 299 missing chapters in the work related section. Since they have disappeared, I am too lazy to change them, so I will treat them as free chapters. Please read them as soon as possible, otherwise they will disappear again after a while.
