Chapter 509: Sit and watch, stand and watch, lie down and watch
Li Yi's new movie launch press conference has been held several times.
The reporters present at the event all knew Li Yi's style very well.
Other people's movie launch press conferences are so eloquent that they can't wait to talk about them for an hour without stopping.
But Li Yi has always been concise and concise, and he won't say anything if he can.
Of course, everyone actually knows that whether it is a press conference or a new film conference, as long as it is a media meeting, most of the time, the most critical thing is the question and answer session at the end.
From this point of view, Li Yi's "bad habit" is actually a good thing.
After all, there is no need to listen to his nonsense...
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. If you have any questions, you can start. However, everyone should know the rules, so let's get started." Li Yi didn't bother to say more and said with a smile.
How can reporters who have been waiting for a long time remain reserved? Well, even those who are reserved cannot be reporters.
"Director Li, is "The Pursuit of Happiness" really an inspirational film?" a reporter asked.
Don't blame this reporter. It sounds like the question he asked is quite strange. He already said it was an inspirational video, so why are you still asking such a question?
But if the director of this movie is Li Yi, then you can really ask, because this guy was able to say that "The Story of Hachiko" was a very healing movie. What happened?
What did he say when the movie came out?
I just love seeing you cry!
Is this really not a normal person?
"Of course, didn't I say it before? This movie tells the story of a down-and-out father who is on the verge of bankruptcy, trying hard to open the door to happiness for his son." Li Yi said calmly.
"Director Li, no one will go crazy or die in "The Pursuit of Happiness", right?" Another reporter asked.
Obviously, it is definitely not the first day that this reporter has met Li Yi.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked such a “sharp” question.
Many reporters below couldn't help laughing, and Chen Wen and others looked at Li Yi strangely.
As expected of you, Director Dog, even reporters started to take precautions in advance.
"Of course, I promise, this movie is a real, real inspirational movie. No one will die or go crazy. No, can you ask some normal questions?" Li Yi said with a depressed expression.
What the hell kind of problem is this?
Are my movies that unreliable?
Someone must go crazy? Someone must die?
If they knew what Li Yi was thinking, this group of people would probably nod in unison.
Yes, your movie is just so unreliable.
From the first movie "The Gift of Room 7" Dead Dad!
The second part "Mom Love Me Again" is a crazy mom!
Later, in "The Story of Hachiko", both the dog and the hero died!
There are too many other movies to describe. In his movies, if people are not crazy or dead, everyone may still find it strange.
"Brother Q, it is said that you started preparing for this movie a long time ago, but Director Li let you go when it came to the end. Is it true?" A reporter asked Chen Wen.
"Of course it's true. I started preparing for this drama after "The Truman Show" was released last year."
"I went to a professional teacher to learn how to twist a Rubik's Cube..."
Chen Wen was very knowledgeable about this kind of interview, so he immediately talked about it with all his bitterness.
Li Yi secretly gave him a thumbs up, he was so stupid!
"Actually, when he approached me about this movie, what he said was that the previous movies never let me, my senior brother, be the leading actor. They all played some weird roles, so this time he finally asked me to play the lead role.
I was given the lead role once, but this is the result, and it has been delayed for so long. It is really not easy for me to play the lead role!" Chen Wen looked like I was really miserable.
The reporters just laughed.
Is it not easy for Chen Wenzhen to play the leading role?
He is a great actor, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that Chen Wen really hasn't played any leading role in Li Yi's movies.
Zhang Changlin in "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is a counterfeit medicine dealer.
The robot lover in "Artificial Intelligence" is, to put it bluntly, a robot duck!
The producer in "The Truman Show" is a big villain...
In other words, Jin Kailai in "Garland Under the Mountain" can barely be regarded as one of the male protagonists, right?
No, it can only be said that he is the second male lead.
The father in "Sowon" is indeed the male protagonist.
If other actors could work with Li Yi so many times, they would be envied, jealous, and hated by many people, but Chen Wen really can't.
Everyone will just think that Li Yi is so proud of himself. If Chen Wen, a great actor, keeps playing some weird supporting roles in his movies, no director in China can do that, right?
In fact, the main appearances at this launch conference were Chen Wen and Li Yi. As for the young actor who played Chen Wen's son in the movie, he was a child after all, so the media reporters didn't ask too much.
However, the launch conference was not all amicable. One question raised by a reporter caused the entire press conference to come to a sudden halt.
"Director Li, with regard to the recent uproar, "Actresses make headlines when they get pregnant, but scientists die without questioning", which has triggered heated discussions among netizens, what do you think about this?"
This matter is indeed true.
Just how to say it?
This is already a commonplace thing.
Since the rapid development of China's economy, the income of celebrities can be said to be getting higher and higher.
As such, it naturally attracted a lot of criticism.
It is said that actors are in charge, and the relevant departments are always asked to take charge.
But Li Yi didn't expect that someone would actually ask him questions.
Of course, he didn't have to answer such a question at all. After all, he was not the "actor" they said he was.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, Li Yi still wanted to answer.
"How do I watch? Of course I sit and watch, stand and watch, lie down and watch..."
"Let me tell you my opinion. Over the years, news about entertainment stars has always been followed by comments about "actors being the best". The commentators thought that by saying this, they were showing their patriotism and "the whole world".
"Everyone is turbid, but I am alone pure." To put it bluntly, I can't think of any redeeming features of this kind of trafficker except dressing up as a moral defender with great righteousness and uprightness and making a fool of himself.
, because this kind of person obviously doesn't respect his own brain, and if he doesn't use it, is he a walking zombie?
We have been preaching for many years that there is no distinction between professions and there is no professional discrimination. Why do so many people still pretend to look down on "actors"?
Acting is a profession, a legal and reasonable profession, and scientific research is also a profession. First-class superstars, like top scientists, are all selected from ten thousand to succeed.
In the entertainment industry, there are veteran actors who work hard but don’t have high incomes; in the scientific research world, there are professors who are down-to-earth and do scientific research without much fame; in the entertainment industry, there are popular stars, and in the scientific research world, there are also star scientists.
Scientific research is to benefit mankind, and entertainment is to entertain the public and is also a way to benefit mankind. The reason why one is praised and suppressed is simply because the income of entertainment stars is too high.
If the income of the entertainment industry is the same as that of cleaners and delivery workers, then they will immediately step into the ranks of political correctness and become the "beautiful workers" who are paid tribute.
However, compared with the salary of two to thirty million US dollars for Hollywood's top stars, the former is not much higher at all; even compared with first-class businessmen, the income of celebrities is meager; the income of first-class scientists is also very considerable.
If being a star was really as easy as you think, there wouldn't be so many extras who would remain unknown all their lives, and almost no real stars would emerge!
In fact, the general public cares more about celebrity gossip than scientists. This is the norm in life.
Try to think about it, if one day, a few housewives and high school girls chat together and the topic is not about young celebrities, but "Which materials physicist has recently overcome a super problem", "A certain cosmology
"The scientists have proven the existence of dark matter and dark energy." I think that's what's really weird and a bit scary, right?"
Li Yi's last words immediately made people feel full of pictures.
However, Li Yi knew that his words would definitely hit some people's pain points, and they would be criticized again, but he didn't care.
He also had something to say about Versailles. Director Li Yi had a higher salary, so why didn't anyone come to scold the director?
It is nothing more than a kind of professional discrimination.
Maybe some artists do have problems like this, and celebrities have problems like this, but which industry doesn't have this?
It's just that, as celebrities are public figures, their privacy is more likely to be dug out.
as expected.
After the launch conference of "The Pursuit of Happiness".
Li Yi's remarks about "celebrities and scientists" were reported verbatim by the media.
"Li Yi: Don't confuse celebrities and scientists. There is no distinction between high and low professions!"
"Li Yi's new film "The Pursuit of Happiness" started filming, and he said that the film is an inspirational film. No one is crazy or dead, so you can rest assured!"
""The Happiness Knocks on the Door" was launched yesterday. Defend ideals and happiness will eventually come!"
"Li Yi angrily denounced the "actor theory", saying that this is the most obvious professional discrimination! Becoming a star is not easier than becoming a scientist!"
"Li Yi joked that if everyone paid attention to scientists, that would be the real horror!"
If an ordinary person said this, not many people would be able to see it, and the media would not report it so overwhelmingly.
But it was Li Yi who said this, and things suddenly changed.
Similarly, Li Yi's status also makes such words seem more weighty.
Those who were still able to win some attention with the argument that "the actor is in charge, the country will not be the country" suddenly ran out of words.
Because Li Yi is not a star, he is a director.
Although he also belongs to the entertainment industry, directing is considered a behind-the-scenes job.
So he is not in the same profession as the "actor" they call him.
