"Hello, Mr. Li He, I am Kong Jiahuan..." Kong Jiahuan shook hands with Li He excitedly.
"Hello, hello, come, sit down and chat, Yuanyuan, bring a pot of tea, Mr. Kong and I will have a good chat," Li He ordered.
Yuanyuan responded and went to make tea. Li He opened the conversation and asked: "You are a director, right?"
Kong Jiahuan nodded and said: "Yes, I have made several films, but they are not famous, so I won't talk about them."
Li He smiled and said: "Every work is the director's hard work. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. I just heard the assistant mention that you have a project on hand, right?"
"Yes, this project has been approved by the Sichuan Film Group, but the funds are insufficient, so I wanted to come to Lala to invest." Kong Jiahuan explained.
"I want to know what kind of story it is?" Li He asked.
"Speaking of which, it still has something to do with my wife and children. A big event happened in Sichuan Province ten years ago. You must also know about it," Kong Jiahuan said.
Li He was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Are you talking about that disaster?"
"Yes, what I want to tell is one of the stories, the story of 108 children." Kong Jiahuan said.
Li Hyuk traveled through time at the end of 2010 and had only a rough impression of the disaster. However, in Blue Star, he also experienced an earthquake in the city where he worked. Later, a director put the earthquake on the big screen and won the Golden Dragon Award. Best Picture. Li Hyuk only knew about it because when the movie was announced, he even appeared on the scene to help promote it.
This kind of film is a tear-jerker once it's made. Li He was very interested for a while and said to Kong Jiahuan: "Let's do it. Come to the Power Studio tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, shall we talk in detail?"
Kong Jiahuan was overjoyed and quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, no problem, Teacher Li He..."
After Kong Jiahuan left his contact information, he left excitedly. Da Mi Mi came over and asked, "Why did you talk to him for so long?"
Li Hyuk explained: "He has a movie project, which I think is good. I will ask Sister Zhi and Sister Duoduo to talk to him later."
"What project?"
"It's a disaster movie. Let's take a look at the script and decide..."
The next day, Kong Jiahuan met with the two directors of Da Mi Mi Studio as he wished and submitted the script. After reading it, Sister Zhi and Qian Duoduo felt that the quality of the script was really good and meaningful. Da Mi Mi Studio could find them. Produced together with other studios.
After learning about it, the Sichuan Film Group also came to the door. Da Mi Mi Studio also attracted Huali Film, Bona Pictures and Enlight Pictures to jointly invest in the production. This movie project called "One Hundred and Eight" is very popular. It will soon enter the substantive project establishment stage.
Kong Jiahuan is of course the director. In addition, both Li He and Da Mi Mi have the title of producer. Da Mi Mi even wants to star in the film himself.
As for Li Hyuk, when the project of "108" was established, he was already in North America. After a long period of publicity and the word-of-mouth effect at the film festival, "La La Land" was finally released in North America, and China is scheduled to release it in October. It will be released on the 10th. However, Warner Pictures has not arranged a promotion plan in China, but will focus on North America.

Especially the female viewers in North America say that Li Hyuk has a magical charm and the image of an elegant gentleman from the East is very attractive. As a Chinese, Li Hyuk has successfully become a new generation of North American public lovers, although he is already married.
.
Most North American audiences actually have no idea where China is. North American audiences who don’t care about the world noticed Li Hyuk because of the popularity of "La La Land" and then became interested in China. This can also be regarded as a kind of cultural propaganda.
The only one who can do this is the eldest brother Cheng Long.
Of course, Li He's current status cannot be compared with Cheng Long, but he is walking on the path of his predecessors.
Thanks to its good reputation, "La La Land" took in a box office of US$73.685 million in its first week in North America, setting a box office record for North American musicals.

The local market is limited, and this result is already outstanding enough.
"La La Land" is smashing the box office around the world. The most excited people are not Warner Pictures, but China's Power Studio and Li Hyuk's fans. Li Hyuk has participated in many Hollywood films before, but international
The name of a superstar is somewhat undeserved, but now not many people say that Li Hyuk has gained fame and reputation.
Due to the explosion of "La La Land" in the global market, "Operation Mekong" also benefited, and soon overseas film producers came to negotiate for the introduction of the film.
Bona Pictures is naturally overjoyed as it has made huge profits from copyright fees. But in fact, the biggest winner is not Li Hyuk, but Emma Stone. After all, Li Hyuk is Chinese. Many mainstream European and American media will ignore him intentionally or unintentionally, but Emma Stone
· Stone is different. She was greatly praised by the media and even thought that Emma Stone had already booked the Oscar for Best Actress.
The media is like this. Li Hyuk is on the road to success now, so even if he doesn't brag, it won't be a shame. But once Li Hyuk declines, the media will show its ugly face and make you regret coming to this world.
European and American media, or media all over the world, are all the same. Many celebrities have been poisoned by the media.
