October of this year is regarded as a harvest month for Lee Hyuk, because the popularity of his two films has also consolidated his status as a first-line superstar. After finishing his promotion in North America, Lee Hyuk also followed the crew to France and saw the filming of "Dunkirk"
"Director Christopher Nolan.
"Congratulations, Lee, "La La Land" is a box office hit." Nolan congratulated.
"Thank you..." Li He looked at the beach in the distance, pointed at the beachhead that had been built and asked: "Are these all real?"
"Of course, in order to restore the realism of the war to the greatest extent, I used real ships and aircraft at the time, and asked historical expert Dan Friedkin about the different characteristics and flying essentials of various aircraft," Nolan said.
.
As expected of a real-shooting fanatic, Li He gave a thumbs up and praised it. Nolan continued: "I found that the British soldiers waiting to retreat in Dunkirk were very young and inexperienced. In order to truly restore history, the crew finally
The decision was made to cast young actors as soldiers."
"So you invited thousands of extras, which is really generous." Li He admired.
In fact, the evaluation of Dunkirk is somewhat different in the East and the West. In the eyes of Easterners, hundreds of thousands of troops fleeing without resistance is not a successful retreat at all. It is not an exaggeration to call it a deserted retreat.
But in Western history, the Dunkirk evacuation is of great historical significance. According to historians, it was this evacuation that laid the foundation for the victory of World War II.
Nolan is a British man who has long been interested in the history of Dunkirk. As early as 2004, when he was cooperating with Warner, he proposed to put the story of Dunkirk on the big screen. Warner Pictures rejected it at the time.
Instead, Nolan was given another project, which was the Batman trilogy.
Today, Nolan is already a first-line director in Hollywood and has finally realized his idea at the time. It is said that Warner Pictures provided Nolan with US$20 million plus a 20% box office share for the film "Dunkirk".
.
Li Hyuk is not interested in the history of World War II. He is not interested in the history of other World War II countries except the beastly island country next door. However, Nolan's shooting method is still very attractive to Li Hyuk.
Many people have a somewhat one-sided understanding of Nolan, thinking that he is the last auteur director in Hollywood. This idea is correct, but don't forget that Nolan is also a technically proficient director.
This film was shot entirely with a 70mm IMAX camera, and the quality of the picture is quite good. Moreover, Nolan's control of the script and his usual time play can bring a new viewing experience to the audience.
After the day's shooting, Li Hyuk and Emma Stone went to a cafe to chat with Nolan. This was actually a promotional routine arranged by Warner Pictures to make "La La Land" and "Dunkirk"
》Linked publicity.
If there were no Chinese in Dunkirk, Li He might have been assigned a role, as would Emma Stone, but this was a man's play and there was no heroine at all.
It is said that some female boxing organizations went to protest when they heard that the crew did not have a female lead. It was even more outrageous than Uncle Hei's protest. There were cameras following the filming, and the three of them chatted about some interesting things, including Chinese food.
Big Ben in London, Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, etc.
Nolan is very knowledgeable and can talk a few words on any topic, but like most Westerners, he has an indifferent attitude towards China. In fact, this is also a norm among Western people. As for the national level,
Things that people don't care about at all.
From this point of view, Chinese people are still better than Westerners. They can talk about the world situation and the presidential election. They are also very concerned about world affairs. Maybe there is a relationship in their bones that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world...
…
After the visit to the "Dunkirk" crew, "La La Land" continued to promote in major European cities, and even held "La La Land" concerts in Vienna and Athens, with music from New York and Los Angeles.
will be linked together, and this kind of concert will continue until the Oscar nominations are announced.
Warner Pictures has completed the Oscar preparation plan. With the help of Warner, Li Hyuk's team also tried their best to win a nomination. But to be honest, it is difficult to win a nomination, so Warner's public relations manager suggested that Li Hyuk focus on
At the Golden Globe Awards, this one is more promising.
While making plans to win awards, "La La Land" continues to make rapid progress around the world. As of October 31st, the film's box office exceeded US$500 million. Warner Pictures and theaters have fully communicated and the film will try its best to
Screening leading up to next year's Oscars.
"La La Land" set the best box office record for a Hollywood musical, to which the contribution of the Chinese market was indispensable. Relying on Li Hyuk's appeal, the film earned more than 700 million at the box office in China, which is approximately US$100 million.
.But this is the end. Musical films have a limited audience and limited box office potential.
In comparison, there is another Chinese-language blockbuster "Operation Mekong" starring Li Hyuk. This film can be said to have no rivals. As of the end of October, it has made 1.526 billion RMB in the Chinese market, plus overseas box office sales.
With its contribution, the global box office exceeded US$300 million, ranking 19th on the global annual box office list.
And this is not the end of the film. It can continue to collect box office in the future and let its box office go up. "Operation Mekong" has a good overseas box office, which also stung the eyes of many Chinese film and television companies.
In the past, there were only a few Chinese-language films that could go abroad, and only the works of great directors like Guoshi had the chance to go abroad. But now, relying on Li Hyuk’s card, many Chinese-language films starring Li Hyuk can go abroad.
Exporting overseas is really amazing.
The most important thing is that the overseas box office results are pretty good. An action movie like "Operation Mekong" does not require any viewing threshold or cultural understanding, as long as you can understand the high-energy action scenes throughout the film.
Therefore, Li Hyuk was inevitably labeled as the second generation of Cheng Long. The eldest brother first broke into Hollywood with his unique action movies to open up the market.
Guan Xia, who has Li He as the spokesperson, is also crazy about it. As Li He has gradually grown over the years, Guan Xia has become one of the top cosmetics brands in China. The group has grown rapidly and has signed many spokespersons.
For example, Guan Xiaotong endorsed its youth series of chemicals, Liu Shishi also endorsed a facial mask, and Yang Yang endorsed a facial cleanser. If the contract between Da Mi Mi and Estee Lauder had not been too deeply bound, Guan Xia would not have had the opportunity to compromise Da Mi.
Mi Mi Mi came over and formed a husband and wife team with Li Hyuk to represent her together.
After the promotional tour in Europe, Lee Hyuk also returned to China, and there was still a lot of work waiting for him. News came out from the noon sun that "Do You Know" has been officially approved, and the main actors have been selected. Just wait for the male actor Lee Hyuk.
Go back on the 1st, pick an auspicious day, and the TV series will officially start filming.
In addition, he still has to take makeup photos, promote the TV series "Know or Not", etc. Li Hyuk has also received the script in his mailbox and proposed some modifications.
The first collaboration between Li Hyuk and Zhao Yingbao attracted a lot of attention not only from insiders but also from the general audience. Fans of Zhao Yingbao are very happy. Yingbao is collaborating with a superstar. It seems that our family Yingbao is indeed very popular and lucky.
.
The joining of two popular stars has also attracted the attention of TV stations and online video platforms. Before the filming of the TV series has started, Mango Channel has already come to the door and expressed its intention to win the exclusive premiere of this TV series.
However, Noon Sunshine did not agree immediately and planned to discuss the matter after Li Hyuk returned from Europe.
