Chapter 262. The challenge of 'King Ali']

Here, Akio Morita is making his own plans, preparing to defeat Yi Feiyang with his new movie and make this hateful Chinaman surrender to his feet, but over there, the situation has already changed!

In fact, as soon as the news that Yi Feiyang was going to make a black movie spread, it attracted a lot of people's attention. After all, some very radical American nationalists disdain Yi Feiyang for "praising black people". In their eyes, black people are

Low-level animals cannot be put on the stage. Although it is already 2001 and racial discrimination seems to have disappeared without a trace in the United States, in fact, this kind of discrimination still exists in large numbers, but it is hidden in private. Many people do not

It was revealed... But now, the black protagonists shot by Yi Feiyang not only succeeded in the film, but also suppressed many white elites, which made many guys who are proud of their white skin feel very uncomfortable. Uncomfortable

What should I do? Of course it’s a roar.

As a result, Yi Feiyang came under unprecedented racial pressure.

On the streets of Los Angeles, a TV station conducted a live interview.

A young black man was interviewed: "I think the film that Mr. Yi Feiyang is about to shoot, apart from the moral and religious aspects, is unique in the presentation of the subject matter. How does a black man become a black man through his own efforts?"

Achieving success is an inspiration in itself, yes, it is an inspiration and encouragement to us black people... I believe that with Mr. Yi Feiyang's wisdom and talent, he will be able to deliver a wonderful movie to the audience!"

A fat white man was interviewed: "We used to trust Mr. Yi Feiyang! We have always trusted him! But now, we really don't understand. Why did he use a black man to make an argument? Does it mean that we white people don't have elites?

?”

A Christian was interviewed: "I am a Christian. But I admire Mr. Yi Feiyang's courage very much. He has always been so brave. This time, the theme of the struggle of black people is very novel, unique and philanthropic. As an Orientalist

A great filmmaker, he has a public and social conscience! So do his movies! So I am looking forward to this movie!"

In addition to the above interviews with ordinary people, there are also some interviews with Hollywood filmmakers.

The location was transferred to a coffee shop in Los Angeles.

Lionsgate Films boss Gusta said in an interview: "We can see that there are not too many movies with black protagonists, especially black inspirational movies. Therefore, I think Mr. Yi Feiyang's

This movie will create new glory in Hollywood in the future. As his friend, I will support him as always!

Mr. Raymond, President of Paramount Company, was interviewed: "I think it is too early to draw conclusions now. It is best to wait until the movie comes out to discuss all issues. If the movie is wonderful and makes sense, we will give it to Brave."

I would like to offer flowers to Yi. If the movie is not well made, or even insults everyone's expectations for him, then it is not too late for us to criticize him. My opinion is that no matter what the situation is, dear Yi should be allowed to make this movie.

After all, what kind of movie and how to create a movie are the freedom of the filmmaker. This is also protected by the Constitution. I think everyone should remember that this is the United States, a country of equality and freedom.

, a great democratic country; not a feudal and decadent country!"

Abbas, chairman of the North American Film Association, was interviewed. Recently, he has become very close to Columbia. Not only has he served as the producer of the new film, he has also begun to use his own resources to actively promote it.

Facing the interview, Abbas still smiled broadly, "I admire China Yi's courage very much, yes, I admire him very much! So I decided to join forces with Columbia and start shooting a black-themed movie to support him! Oh!

, you ask what movie we are going to shoot? Of course it is "Muhammad Ali"! Haha, this movie is a biopic, inspirational enough, right? As for the starring role, we are honored to invite the black Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington

Mr. Xiang played the leading role, and for the rest of the supporting roles, we invited two other Oscar-winners, Mr. Marlon Brando, and Mr. Al Pacino to play the main characters in the film respectively... And this is what they have done since "The Godfather".

This is the second time we have joined hands since the beginning of the drama, are you looking forward to it?"

"As for the budget of this drama, Sony Columbia Pictures has appointed me as the producer of this drama. The funding is at least more than 100 million! In addition to paying the high salaries of these big-name stars, the rest of the funds are mainly to restore Ali's past.

Several fights of the century... Haha, Ali's boxing fans, are you looking forward to it?! Finally, I want to announce that this film will be released at the same time as China Yi's new drama!"

I have to say that the news broke by Abbas is absolutely explosive.

Especially the drama "Muhammad Ali" has too many gimmicks!

First of all, the starring role is the black movie star Denzel Washington. Compared with Will Smith, Denzel's reputation is not lower than that of Will Smith.

Secondly, Columbia actually invited the famous movie stars Marlon Brando and Al Pacino to reunite and support this drama together. God, it’s so awesome!

Finally, Abbas, who is the chairman of the North American Film Association, is actually a producer and has invested more than 100 million. What is the concept? It is more blockbuster than a super blockbuster!

In a sense, Abbas's bold words are not supporting Yi Feiyang's filming of black films, but declaring war!

Released at the same time, this is the challenge slogan.

The meaning is very simple, see who can come out on top!



In this way, with the appearance of "Muhammad Ali", "The Pursuit of Happyness" once again became the focus of public opinion, and it continued to heat up in the following days.

However, unlike before, the focus of public opinion this time is the evaluation and comparison of the two dramas. From the prepared cast, the amount of investment, the black theme, the degree of inspiration...etc.

to compare.

At first, it was just a debate between people in Hollywood and the media industry, but later, the scope of this storm rapidly expanded, and almost all fields such as philosophy, thought, culture, education, etc. were involved in this storm.

A big debate is coming.

The atmosphere became tense. The two factions were equally powerful. No one could do anything to the other, so what was the final result? We had to wait until the two dramas were released to reveal the answer.



During this period, when many media asked Yi Feiyang whether the film "The Pursuit of Happyness" he was about to shoot was better or the new Colombian film "Muhammad Ali" was more classic, Yi Feiyang's answer was simple, "The audience is

Referee, when the time comes, show your authority!"

And now, how many people in the United States, and even the world, dare not to face and think about Yi Feiyang's words?

"Haha, it's good to have competition! How many people will pay attention to just one of my dramas here? You see how heated the debate is in the media now. Just bring my "The Pursuit of Happiness"

A height that ordinary people cannot look up to!" Yi Feiyang said enthusiastically while lying on the large sofa, his head resting on Anne Hathaway's snow-white legs.

"Well, I know you will succeed!" Anne Hathaway's eyes curled into crescent moons, looking at the beaming Yi Feiyang with deep affection. She looked at him infatuatedly, as if she could never see enough in her lifetime.

"Haha, do you have full confidence in me now?" Yi Feiyang smiled, and Anne Hathaway's bright eyes made him intoxicated. He couldn't help but hug her and kiss her hard. Until the two of them

Neither can breathe.

"Of course I have confidence in you, you will become the focus of everyone's eyes!" Anne Hathaway's sweet voice came, making Yi Feiyang overjoyed.

"But I just want to be the focus of your eyes!" Anne Hathaway smiled, kissed Yi Feiyang's face gently, and suddenly said: "I don't want to be in the entertainment industry anymore, although that kind of

Life is what I once longed for, and I desperately hoped that I could have it, but when I met you, I suddenly realized that it was better to be a little woman hiding behind a successful man like you."

"Huh? What's wrong with you, you want to give up at such a young age?" Yi Feiyang was puzzled, stood up, and asked doubtfully.

"Give up? Haha, I am a little tired. Like a swallow that has flown thousands of miles, I just want to rest under your roof. I am content just cuddling with you and waiting for you." Anne Hathaway murmured.

He said, suddenly closing his eyes, approaching Yi Feiyang's arms, and letting him hug him tightly.

Looking into Anne Hathaway's intoxicating eyes, Yi Feiyang shook his head.

"But, I haven't done what I promised you yet!" He knew what Anne Hathaway was thinking. She just wanted to give up her acting career and stay by his side wholeheartedly.

"You mean the Oscar-winning actress?" Anne Hathaway slowly closed her eyes, just holding Yi Feiyang's waist firmly, and said lightly. As if the Oscar-winning actress, she has been for this for a long time.

Dreams, desires for them, goals to strive for, never existed.

"Yeah, remember? It was in a dilapidated apartment. I promised you that I would definitely help you get on the Oscar stage and make you the most shining and hottest Oscar-winning actress in Hollywood!" Yi

Feiyang got a little excited, grabbed Anne Hathaway's hand, and said eagerly.

"Yes, you said that at that time. I thought you were a big liar. I was determined to be a nun, but you kept convincing me to act. God, I was really confused at the time, but I

I followed you in the end, yes, I have no regrets at all!" Recalling the past, Anne Hathaway also smiled, but she just looked at Yi Feiyang's face tenderly, caressing it lovingly, and trembling slightly.

.

"But now, I don't care about anything, nuns, ballet, actors... As long as I can be by your side, as long as I can be recognized by you, I don't care about anything else. My dream is actually very simple.

It comes true in you. Accompany you through this wonderful life, watch you be high-spirited in front of the camera, so that you don’t have to vomit everywhere when you are drunk, help you wash the socks you don’t want to wash, just be quiet

I will be waiting by your side, looking at you, touching your face..."

Yi Feiyang stared blankly at Anne Hathaway, who had a calm face, and listened to her telling her new dream in a light, peaceful voice. He saw that her rippling eyes were illuminated by some bright lights.

Infected, it became the gentlest color. Yi Feiyang suddenly felt that there was a touch that he cherished, making his throbbing warmth spiral up from the bottom of his heart, lingering, and there was a feeling of being cared for, expected and loved by others.

It began to run rampant in his heart, unscrupulously.

Breathing began to become a little rapid, and Yi Feiyang was just a little arrogant. He kissed Anne Hathaway's tender mouth crazily, pressed her under him, and began a man's deepest love for a woman.



Lying next to Yi Feiyang, Anne Hathaway's brown hair was spread out somewhat messily. There was a golden sheen flowing under the light, because of the fierce battle just now. Her face and cheeks were lightly pink, and she was

Yi Feiyang's swollen mouth from the savage kiss was still so tender and tender. Those charming eyes were filled with a bright and satisfied smile, as if they were crystal clear blue gems.

The silk pajamas at home had long been opened by the restless Yi Feiyang. They were even messy in the fight and struggle, only revealing the delicate and beautiful collarbones and a large area of ​​snow-white and smooth skin.

Yi Feiyang hugged Anne Hathaway. Smelling the smell of her hair, he suddenly said: "If I am your dream, then you are also my dream. Please stay with me forever. Let me fulfill my biggest dream."

.”

Anne Hathaway smiled coquettishly, immersed in his affectionate eyes, listening to his love words, her heart was in a state of wandering and she could only let him hold her hand and go with him.

Faced with Anne Hathaway's persistence, what else could Yi Feiyang say? He could only tell himself: Don't let the girl who loves him down, work harder and let her live the best life.

This is a man's promise to a woman.



The main entrance of Fantasy Entertainment Company.

A car that wasn't too flashy drove slowly. The company's top management poured out and led the employees to stand on both sides of the road to welcome the arrival of the car.

Yi Feiyang got off the car and looked at the respectful company employees and a group of senior executives on both sides. He suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar, like the scene in many movies where the underworld big brother appears and the younger brothers greet him.

No wonder so many people like to be the big brother, it feels so good. But after feeling good, Yi Feiyang had to face up to this "level issue". You know, in the United States, people advocate equality for everyone, so many company bosses and

If employees mingle together, there won't be such a big scene at all. Even if you enter someone else's company, you can't tell who is the boss and who is the employee...

This form is very bad. It is easy for people to gossip and it will also reduce the enthusiasm of employees to work. Needless to say, the only person who can create such a stupid scene is the fat man Gao Jiabao.

Yi Feiyang got out of the car and greeted the staff cordially, and everyone bowed and said hello. The whole thing was very formal, and it looked like the fat man had spent a lot of effort.

Yi Feiyang said a few words casually and walked into the company. As he walked, he said to the fat man: "Let them disband. Don't delay work."

Then Yi Feiyang turned around and said to Dures: "I don't like this kind of formalism very much, so don't do it in the future."

Dures smiled bitterly. Originally, he strongly opposed it, and everyone was not used to this situation, but the fat man Gao Jiabao insisted on saying that this was the tradition in Hong Kong. Only then would he have enough momentum and a scene to make outsiders view our company.

Take a high look...

Fatty is the person closest to Yi Feiyang, and Dures doesn't quite understand Yi Feiyang's thoughts. He doesn't know whether it was Yi Feiyang who instructed Fatty to do it, or whether Fatty did it on his own initiative. In desperation, he had no choice but to do it. After all, the boss

He is Chinese, and Chinese people seem to like to put on a show to save face.

"I know it's not your fault, but as the vice president of the company, you just watched everyone mess around. You are also responsible..."

"Yes, I know I was wrong. I'm very sorry. This situation will definitely not happen again next time!" Dures bowed his head and apologized.

Yi Feiyang nodded, and then asked: "How did you go about the things I told you?"

"It's been done, and everyone we invited is in the office."

"Okay, let's go take a look." Yi Feiyang smiled.

In the office, there were two people sitting, to be precise, two white young men who looked elegant. They both wore glasses and looked like nerds at first sight.

When they saw Yi Feiyang and the others coming in, they immediately stood up, looking very reserved and shy.

"Okay, don't be nervous, everyone. The reason why I asked Mr. Dures to come to you is because your writing is good. Yes, I have read basically all the novels you have published in newspapers and magazines. They are really great.

!" Yi Feiyang said cheerfully.

The two young people who were originally nervous couldn't help but become excited when they were praised by the big man Yi Feiyang.

Dures watched with sincerity and said to himself, these people are young after all, and they can't help anything they have in their hearts.

Yi Feiyang paused for a moment and then said: "I admire your talent very much, so I want to ask you for help. I will provide you with the script outlines of two plays. You can adapt them into novels. Yes, they are very fashionable novels.

!”

The two young men looked at each other, "Mr. Yi, you mean... let us write a novel for you as a gunman?"

"Yes, that's it!" Yi Feiyang picked up the coffee, crossed his legs and took a sip gently, with a relaxed and comfortable posture.

"But we..." The two young men hesitated. They both dreamed of becoming excellent writers one day and never thought of being a gunman.

Before these young people could refuse, Yi Feiyang smiled and nodded towards Dures.

Dures directly took out the prepared signing documents and the check above, and handed them over.

Yi Feiyang said: "You can first take a look at the conditions we offer. If you think it is suitable, sign the contract. If it is not suitable, then it is a pity that we will cooperate next time. We will never force it!"

Hearing what Yi Feiyang said, the two young men couldn't help but look... first at the check, which clearly read: 30,000 US dollars!

"Yes, each of you can get a signing fee of 30,000 US dollars, and after the novel is published, each of you can also receive 20,000 US dollars in benefits, a total of 50,000 US dollars!" Yi Feiyang said calmly.

"I have prepared the script for you. If you have any questions, you can consult my personal lawyer... Finally, I want to say that there are a lot of writers like you at present. If you don't do it, I think there will be

There are many people coming to fill your vacancies." After saying this, Yi Feiyang stood up, straightened the buttons on his suit, and said, "Okay, I won't say any more. It's up to you whether you sign or not. I have other things to do.

Let’s go first!”

Before the two young men could recover, Yi Feiyang left the office.

The two young men were stunned by his powerful aura.

Outside, Yi Feiyang believes that these two young people will make the right choice. After all, the unemployment rate in the entire United States remains high. And the reason why he wants to publish "The Pursuit of Happiness" and "The Hunger Games" into books has only one purpose.

Hype these two dramas before they are released. It can be said that adapting the scripts into novels and biographies first is definitely a good publicity project. The spread of novels and autobiographies, coupled with the launch of movies, there is no doubt that

The publicity effects of these two dramas will exceed everyone's expectations, and they can also save a huge amount of publicity expenses. A two-pronged approach, why not?
