In China, Zhao Guangming and other Li Yi's old friends in the industry have called to congratulate him, and in Hollywood, there are endless reports about the Oscars.
Of course, two of Li Yi's films became the biggest Oscar winners and inevitably became the focus of public opinion.
The most intuitive impact is that Li Yi's reputation in Hollywood has become even greater.
Several Hollywood spoilers have extended their offers, and the conditions given are the treatment of top directors.
Thomas Dean also immediately congratulated Li Yi and then asked about his future movie plans.
But Li Yi really didn't have any plan.
What's even more interesting is that some independent film companies have also sent invitations to Li Yi. Of course, they want to try their luck more. After all, they definitely cannot afford Li Yi's current salary.
But because Li Yi won the Oscar, they thought that Li Yi had a preference for art and literary films, so what if?
What if Li Yi loses his mind and is willing to lower his salary to take on the role?
Of course, this kind of thing cannot happen to Li Yi.
On the other hand, Zhao Guangming also said that Li Yi has been in North America for a long time. Should he return to another country and make a movie?
Not only that, the heads of the organizing committees of several domestic film festivals have called one after another, wanting to make an appointment in advance for Li Yi to support the film festival during the festival.
Li Yi suddenly got a hot call. To be honest, he didn't expect an Oscar-winning director to have such a great influence.
In fact, Li Yi was not just playing a small role earlier. Although he was often invited, it was not as urgent as this time. The people who could call were almost all senior and top people in the country.
Not only that, Hong Kong Island also did not miss this time, and also invited Li Yi to serve as the chairman or judge of this year's Hong Kong Island Film Awards.
However, Li Yi really has no interest in these.
If he really agreed to it, he wouldn't do anything else.
But there are some things he can't refuse. For example, Optoelectronics wants Li Yi to attend meetings and give speeches after he returns. This is actually a Chinese characteristic.
Basically, those who win awards, especially grand prizes and international awards, will have to attend various meetings for a while, give various speeches, etc.
It’s euphemistically called sharing experience bala bala.
But although this kind of thing is boring, it's really hard for Li Yi to refuse.
Anyway, all in all, countless people in the country are looking forward to Li Yi's return with great honors.
"Director Dog is really awesome now! Isn't it too much to say that he is the number one film director in China?"
"It's not too much. It needs box office and box office, and it needs awards and awards. And the most important thing is that it's a Grand Slam. It even won the Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture!"
"Must be number one! Not only number one in the country, but even looking at the film industry around the world, his achievements are definitely second to none, right?"
"The box office is No. 1, but the awards are not yet there!"
"When will Director Dog come back to film? I still miss Director Dog's tear-jerking movies!"
"He's a tear-jerking director. I haven't made a sensational movie for a long time, so I feel a little bit unaccustomed to it!"
Netizens are talking a lot. It can be said that Li Yi has become synonymous with traffic nowadays.
At the same time, Li Yi looked at the pile of scripts in front of him, speechless.
These are scripts that have been screened. Thomas Dean and Dean Pictures may be worried that Li Yi will be lured away by other giants, or they may want to strike while the iron is hot and want to let Li Yi just win the Oscar.
Li Yi will make another Hollywood movie.
Many of these scripts are high-quality scripts in the script library of Dean Films. It must be said that as a Hollywood spoiler, Dean Films has a very rich fortune.
In fact, everyone knows that the reason why Hollywood giants are giants is actually their background.
One is the extremely complete global distribution channel that has been operating for many years. It can be said that distribution is always the most profitable.
This is a tacit understanding formed by the Hollywood giants. In North America, in addition to the six giants, it can be said that other companies want to get involved in distribution. Unless they fight on a small scale, they will be targeted in minutes.
The distribution here is not only theatrical distribution, but also distribution in various aspects such as DVD, streaming media, etc.
At the same time, issuing companies are also an industry with very high operating costs. It is really difficult for ordinary companies to maintain such a huge issuance chain.
Most of the time, they can only operate at a loss, but the big giants in Hollywood are different. As mentioned before, they all have their own background. It can be said that the movie copyrights of Hollywood for many years have been almost completely divided by these giants.
And a rich copyright library can continuously create benefits for them, and they can earn huge profits while maintaining huge distribution and operating costs. For many people, a movie may be released and then sell some copyrights.
, and then it’s gone, but for the major Hollywood giants, they can sustain one movie for decades.
This is where their heritage lies, and they also have a huge reserve of scripts. Many scripts have been included in the collection. Although they have not started filming or establishing projects due to various reasons, it has also become their heritage.
This time, Dean Films was very generous and almost opened up Dean Films' script library to Li Yi, and the dozen or so scripts in front of him were all the highest quality scripts after Dean Films' evaluation.
For Li Yi, this is indeed the case.
Of course, a high-quality script does not mean that Li Yi is really interested.
What's interesting is that several of the scripts in it are actually adapted from real stories, and they are also similar to Li Yi's previous movies.
For example, one of the scripts is based on a real event in North America. It is a bit similar to the first movie "The Gift of Room No. 7" made by Li Yi. It is also the story of a mentally retarded father and a normal daughter.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, it has more North American characteristics.
Another one is somewhat similar to "I'm Not the God of Medicine", about HIV.
It is also adapted from real events.
In fact, Hollywood is very fond of adapting real events, and there are many excellent works among them.
"What? There are so many scripts but none of them interest you?" Xu Nannan certainly hopes that Li Yi can continue to stay in Hollywood and make one or two more movies, so that he can legitimately accompany her.
Li Yi put down the script in his hand and said with a smile: "That's not true. For example, the story about this mentally retarded father fighting for custody of his daughter is quite good, but I don't want to film it for the time being. This story is similar to "Room No. 7"
"The Gift" has the same purpose to a certain extent!"
"Why don't you want to film it?" Xu Nannan picked up the script, flipped through it casually, read the summary, and asked.
"Because I'm more interested in another story!" Li Yi said with a smile.
"Which one?" Xu Nannan asked in surprise.
Li Yi pointed to his head and said: "Inside!"
Xu Nannan rolled her eyes and said, "Are you inspired again?"
"Well, let me ask you a question, did your father say anything big to you?" Li Yi's question was a bit abrupt, making Xu Nannan a little confused.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"In other words, has your father ever talked to you about his experiences, some exaggerated and magical experiences?" Li Yi asked again.
"No!" Xu Nannan shook his head.
"What? Is your story related to this?" Xu Nannan asked curiously.
Li Yi nodded and said: "I don't know how girls understand their father. I am a man. I think most men have a similar mental journey: when we were children, our father was an omnipotent god. He
He has strong arms that can lift us high, he has a prickly beard that makes hugs sting, he can answer all your questions, he knows everything...
Then, we gradually discovered that they are not omnipotent. When facing this world, they have as many troubles and confusions as us. They retreat from our lives little by little, because they are no longer so important, because we slowly can
Carry the sky on your own shoulders.
There may still be fights, because we disdain them living like that. We feel that we are stronger and smarter than them, and are unwilling to follow the path they set. Although many years later, we finally realize that they do that.
It was done out of love, and quite a few of it proved to be correct.”
Li Yi didn't know why, but he suddenly said a lot of things.
In fact, he also thought of his father.
I remember the time when I was devastated by the failure of my first movie.
My father would always tell himself that so-and-so was so depressed when he failed in the past, but how he turned out later.
Talk about how he was back then.
The story triggered by Li Yi's golden finger is also a story about a father and his son.
The difference is that this is a very special, very special story.
To be honest, Li Yi didn't think much of it when he first read it, but gradually he fell in love with the story.
Because he understood the core of the story.
A father who seemed to be bombastic told many people about his legendary experience every waking moment. It was like a romantic and thrilling fairy tale. At first, his son was deeply attracted by
The story attracted the child, but when the child grew up, he stubbornly believed that his father's experience was just a fictional story, and became more and more intolerant of omnipresent narration, so that in the end the relationship between father and son broke down, and they were silent for several years and did not communicate with each other.
Of course, even so, he still did not stop telling. The film can almost be regarded as a beautiful memory: a strange birth, a night interview with a witch, a great football player, a key player in basketball, a giant who outsmarts him, a romantic courtship, and two-headed twin sisters.
, Korean War, werewolf circus leader, ghost town... every bizarre plot touches my heartstrings. Are these things true or false? Li Yi is thinking, this is no longer important, sometimes, fantasy is
real.
Generally speaking, a person will be more fearless if he knows the outcome of his life. Just like his father knew how he will die in the eyes of the witch, he is always so calm and persistent every time he faces a desperate situation, fighting for what should be fought for, and facing what should be faced.
, there is no reality that cannot be changed, no difficulty that cannot be overcome. Suddenly, he is so envious. If there is such a witch, he will happily go there.
However, it seems that the cruel reality prefers to accept naked things, thinking that we can face the true self. Therefore, we begin to reject those fairy tales that we loved in childhood, preferring to believe in so-called self-esteem and principles, and alienate the purest and most pure heart.
Real thing. That father was so lonely. Li Yi didn't know what it would be like when he was lying on the hospital bed and thinking about the life he had lived in silence. Sweet people are sweet, warm people are warm, and disdainful people
In disdain, those who laugh are laughing...
how to say?
This story is a bit sci-fi and a bit magical, but to put it bluntly, it is a father who likes to talk. This is a habit he developed when his children were young. Because the children like to listen, he keeps talking.
.
But what he doesn't know is that the child won't like it when he grows up.
This is a fairy tale, but it is also a gloomy fairy tale. It is not so beautiful, but it makes people sigh.
Li Yi is also a father himself, so he seemed particularly touched after seeing this story.
Perhaps life should be like a fairy tale, and every encounter is a small plot in the story. You don’t need to know the outcome, but you must believe that there is no sorrow, no sorrow, and no misfortune in the fairy tale world. Everything is just to achieve a goal
A pure, romantic and attainable beautiful dream. Therefore, no matter what happens, you will definitely see the most beautiful star in the sky, and you will definitely get the warmest embrace of your own. That belonging, that happiness,
I have already prepared for you, but the steps are not yet close and the door is not yet opened.
At the end of the film, the son tells his father the ending of his life: his father escaped from the hospital, got into the red car he drove when he was young, and came to the river where he was fishing. All the friends he had interacted with in his life gathered on the riverside.
They said goodbye with a smile, without any sadness. The son hugged his father and walked to the river. The beautiful wife in the river said goodbye again with a peaceful smile. The father took off the ring with his mouth, gave it to his favorite wife, and then put it in his son's arms.
He folded his arms and turned into a big fish, swimming freely into the distance...
My father died. In the fairy tale world, there is no sadness on the river bank.
If my father dies, will there be sadness in the real world?
Li Yi remembers that the most profound impression, or what shocked him the most, was the last part of the movie. At the funeral, his father's friends were all present, and they bid farewell to his father solemnly. Those people in fairy tales can all be found in reality.
A model. A respectable father, who uses his own strength to give people around him a beautiful fairy tale. Behind the beauty are difficult heartbreaks and painful memories, but is it necessary to pass these on?
Give those who give birth to an eternally beautiful fairy tale, and give those who love an eternally beautiful life. Perhaps this is the responsibility that a person, a man should have!
