Li Yi's risqué words provoked a barrage of curses.
"Little sister, don't let me go!"
"As soon as he opens his mouth, he looks like an old pervert."
"Oh, you are such a beast."
Along with the scolding, the recording of this program came to an end.
Li Yi returned home. He went to the bedroom and found the book.
He has not opened the book "How an Actor is Made" for a long time.
Now that he has finished recording the show and filming "Parasite", he has now completed his mission, and the Oscar award for "Parasite" has also been settled.
[Mission completed: "Parasite" movie has been filmed, directing ability +5, professional ability +6, expression control +5...
Reward: Obtain the "Traffic Earth" script.
Mission: This movie must be shot and earn 5 billion box office.】
Li Yi's face was very happy. This movie script is really good. His recent movies have really made him a lot of money. Now he doesn't have to worry about not being able to afford the script he wants.
Li Yi flipped through the book, and it didn't take long before he finished reading the original work. It was just a short story, not long, and Li Yi read books very quickly.
Suddenly, Cheng Yajie lay on Li Yi's shoulder and said, "This book just recently won our country's highest science fiction award, the Galaxy Award!"
"Do you like this book very much?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
"Of course! I love it so much!" Cheng Yajie said with a smile, but her smile soon dimmed, and she pouted: "It's a pity that not many people read science fiction now. Although I won such an amazing award, the sales of the book were very dismal!"
And I think if this story could be made into a movie, it would definitely be very interesting, but no one would make a thankless science fiction movie."
"Since you like it so much and want to see it put on the big screen, it doesn't matter if others don't film it, just leave it to me!"
Li Yi took her hand, put it on his lips and kissed her, looked at Cheng Yajie and said, "It just so happens that our company is going to go international, so let's treat this as our first big project."
"Besides, since I direct and act myself, I can save a lot of money in terms of salary alone!"
"Okay! If you take the photo of the baby, it will be wonderful! I'm really looking forward to it!" A sweet smile bloomed on Cheng Yajie's face, and she kissed Li Yi hard on the face as a reward.
In fact, she thought Li Yi was just joking to make her happy, and she didn't take it seriously at all. After all, science fiction movies are really unpopular in China. They basically belong to the genre of whoever touches them will die. Li Yi is such a smart person.
It's impossible for people not to know this.
Of course Li Yi could tell that Cheng Yajie didn't take it seriously, but she didn't say anything more. She just put the book on her knees, picked up her phone and took a photo, and then posted it on Weibo.
Li Yi said on Weibo that he had just read this book, which had just won the China Science Fiction Award, and found it very interesting and would recommend it to everyone.
He also said that he plans to buy the copyright of this book, adapt it into a movie script, direct and act in it, and put it on the big screen!
Li Yi's followers on Weibo have already exceeded 100 million. Just post a Weibo and many people will comment instantly. What's more, the Weibo content also involves his next shooting plan, so not long after it was posted, it was retweeted.
There are so many more comments!
"I'll go! Brother Yi finally released a new update, and it's related to a new drama. I've been looking forward to it for a long time! This time I plan to make a science fiction film. Is it true or not? Science fiction films are notoriously difficult to film in China.
And it’s thankless, Brother Yi, you must think twice!!!”
"I've seen it, but I didn't expect that Brother Yi and I have such similar tastes in books, hehe!"
"Won an award? Is this book very famous? I'm not interested, but the book Yi Ge recommended must be extraordinary and must be very interesting, so I'm going to place an order on Dangdang.com now!"
"Hahahaha! Those who are still urging Brother Yi to calm down and not be impulsive, please give it a rest. Brother Yi is not stupid, how could he be involved in a science fiction film that is less popular and less flattering than a horror film? That is not asking for his own death.
Huh! So Brother Yi must be joking with everyone!"
"I was shocked! I said Brother Yi wouldn't smash his box office elixir sign by himself. It turned out to be a joke!"
"This year's April Fool's Day has long passed. Did Brother Yi tell next year's April Fool's Day joke in advance? But no matter what, you still have to watch what Brother Yi recommended!"
"I just went to the bookstore yesterday and bought a bunch of books. I just picked them up casually. I have too many books at home. I have already thrown this one in the corner. I may never read it in my life! But since Brother Yi recommends them all Yes, it’s definitely a good book about elopement. I’ll read it after I get home from get off work today!”
Li Yi looked through the comments on Weibo. It was obvious that everyone, like Cheng Yajie, thought he was joking. Therefore, in addition to saying that he would definitely buy this book and read it, most of the comments contained various ridicules.
Li Yi got up, walked in the courtyard, and called Chen Yanyu: "Sister Yu, you should have seen the Weibo I just posted."
"Yes, I'm not joking, I'm serious... Well, I know, don't worry, help me contact the author of this book first and buy the copyright of this book. We will discuss the details at that time!"
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to remind: "By the way, give me more money, which is higher than the market price. It is not easy for people who write books. Let them earn more, so that they can have the motivation to write more and better books."
works, forming a virtuous circle!”
Afterwards, Li Yi hung up the phone. Sure enough, even Sister Yu thought that the Weibo post he just posted was a joke. After knowing that he was serious, she even tried to persuade him!
"Baby, are you serious?" Cheng Yajie, who overheard Li Yi's conversation, covered her mouth with a look of surprise. Only then did she realize that Li Yi was not just talking casually!
Although in her opinion, Li Yi made the decision solely because of her few words, and she was very touched and happy for this, she was even more worried about the risks Li Yi would take!
Cheng Yajie also advised Li Yi not to be impulsive, but Li Yi looked into her eyes and just said a few words of comfort so that she didn't have to worry.
Li Yi showed a confident smile, which made Cheng Yajie fall for it. Her attitude changed and she became the first person to support Li Yi. That day, because one of Li Yi's Weibo sales was bleak on Dangdang.com and was facing removal from the Wandering Earth. Sales volume
There was a huge surge in sales, and the stock was already low, so it was sold out in an instant!
In major physical bookstores, many people also inquired and purchased, and they were sold out! Although Li Yi's remarks about making a science fiction film were regarded as a joke, the books he recommended are real, and many people recommended them
After reading it, I thought it was very good.
And those who didn't get the book were also asking for it everywhere. The booksellers who published The Wandering Earth were naturally overjoyed and printed new books overnight, taking the opportunity to prepare to make a fortune!
At the same time, Chen Yanyu has purchased the copyright of The Wandering Earth in the name of Li Yixin Company.
The next day, Li Yi posted another Weibo post, showing off the copyright contract, stating that he had won the copyright for The Wandering Earth, officially announced that it had entered the preparation stage, and welcomed major investors to invest in his company's first internationally produced film.
work!
As soon as the news was announced, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.
"No way? Brother Yi is not joking, it turns out he really wants to make a domestic science fiction movie."
"Brother Yi, calm down! It's not too late to regret it before we start filming yet, so we can just throw away some of the copyright fees and find a way to transfer it, otherwise it will be too late when filming actually starts!"
"Yeah! I also think Brother Yi is too irrational. The book The Wandering Earth is really good and I like it very much, but with the environment and technology in China, making science fiction movies would be really cool! Even if you get paid to star in it,
Okay, at least you’ll earn points, but at most you’ll get scolded, and I’m afraid you’ll have to pay a lot of money if you shoot by yourself!”
"Brother Yi, as your fans, we can really understand you! You must know how difficult it is to make domestic science fiction, but you still want to try it, maybe with a pioneering spirit. If we are just ordinary movie fans, we will definitely
We support it, but we are your fans! We really don’t want you to suffer, lose money, and ruin the reputation you have accumulated!”
"Why are all the comments section full of negative voices and disapproving voices! Yi Ge's idea of making a sci-fi film is very good, and it can just make up for this long-standing gap, so everyone has some confidence in Yi Ge! I'm right
Brother Yi is very confident and supports him. He is looking forward to his performance and will definitely go to the theater to watch it!"
"It's not that we don't have confidence in him, it's just that the ideal is always full, but the reality is too skinny! It is because we care about Brother Yi that we don't want him to take detours, take the wrong road, and end up on the road of no return!"
The number of comments in the comment area skyrocketed. Li Yi flipped through it casually. Basically, they were all unfavorable voices! It wasn’t that he was not optimistic about him, but that he was not optimistic about the subject of science fiction movies. He felt that even with Li Yi’s fame, he might not be able to handle it.
.
The legal person and boss of Guoke Film and Television Company are Li Yi. This time Wandering Earth needs investors, because if no one invests, Li Yi will be responsible for the profits and losses!
As soon as the news broke, Li Yi's fans became even more worried.
The news that Li Yi was going to start filming The Wandering Earth quickly reached the top of the hot search list after everyone's crazy forwarding and comments. It also received a lot of media reports and was suddenly pushed to the forefront!
Regarding everyone's comments, Li Yi casually scrolled through them without paying much attention.
When Huang Bo and other friends in the industry learned that Li Yi was going to make a science fiction film, they either called him or tried to persuade him in the WeChat group, and they were obviously not optimistic about the matter.
Li Yi knew that they were concerned about him, fearing that he would lose his wife and lose his troops when the time came. Li Yi didn't have much time to explain to them, so he made a fuss and fooled them, then quickly put the phone aside and got down to business.
!
On the same day, Li Yi went to the company that was already operating normally and held a meeting with everyone.
This is a big project for his company, and Li Yi attaches great importance to it!
Originally, everyone in the company was not very supportive of Li Yi's idea, but Li Yi is the boss. As long as he has requests, they will definitely complete them meticulously.
However, by the end of the meeting, everyone had been infected by Li Yi's drive and confidence, and their inner attitude towards the project had changed from being optimistic to promising and worth a try! A positive attitude towards things.
Success can get twice the result with half the effort. Li Yi is very satisfied with the results of this meeting!
All other matters are left to the people in the company, but when it comes to actors, Li Yi will definitely have to make the decision.
Since it is a science fiction movie, the most important thing is the story and special effects. As long as the actor's acting skills are adequate, because no matter how good the acting skills are, there is not much room for performance, so Li Yi decided to find an old actor besides himself, and he can play other roles.
Using new people will also save money. The maximum budget is 300 to 400 million.
In the end, Li Yi chose Wu Mengda, who has been partnered with Xing Ye for many years and is known as a golden supporting actor, to play the role of his father in the movie. Li Yi felt that both his age and acting skills were very suitable.
Li Yi personally contacted Wu Mengda. When the other party heard that the person on the other end of the phone was him and that he wanted to film a movie with him, he agreed without saying a word.
The voice also sounded very happy.
For this filming, Li Yi decided to do it by herself.
Li Yi is now a well-known artist after all. When he went to Beijing Film Academy to select actors, the students at Beijing Film Academy were extremely happy.
The principal of Beiying University personally came out to welcome him. The students from Beiying University really fought hard for this opportunity, and Li Yi also spent some time.
The special effects company, actors, etc. have all been prepared, as well as the scenery and green cloth required for shooting. Now the only thing left is the investment!
It’s not that no one invested in Li Yi’s new movie. Even though the outside world was not optimistic about it, there were still many wealthy people who decided to invest because of Li Yi’s fame.
But those people have various requirements, such as adding product placements for their own products, and the more obvious the better, such as letting their daughters or lovers participate in the filming, playing the heroine, etc., and they must have a role opposite Li Yi.
And I have to add drama to them...
Obviously, these people are not optimistic about this movie at all, they just want to use Li Yi's fame to satisfy their own selfish desires or make money!
Naturally, Li Yi cannot accept this kind of investors and rejects them one by one!
He also approached Huang Bo and others, as well as some big names in the industry, and asked them if they were interested in investing.
As a result, Huang Bo and his friends in the industry all gritted their teeth and expressed that they must invest, but ended up spending hundreds of thousands or millions. Even Wang Sicong, who was so rich, was willing to accept that this little money was simply not enough!
Li Yi knew that Wang Sixong and the others were not optimistic about him making science fiction films, so naturally they wouldn't take more!
If they can spend hundreds of thousands or tens of millions, they really treat him as a friend and brother, because when they invest this money, they really have the mentality that it doesn't matter if they lose money, just treat it as a gift to him!
In this case, Li Yi finally decided to invest his own money. Anyway, he couldn't come up with hundreds of millions of funds. Not to mention the money he had saved before, a lot of time had passed when Li Yi announced the filming of the last movie "Parasite"
Today, whether it is the discussion on this matter on Weibo or the attention of the media, it has never dropped!
[Li Yi challenges domestic science fiction themes. Is he too confident or too arrogant? 】
[With no one investing in Wandering Earth, Li Yi decided to pay for it out of his own pocket! If you make a bold decision, you may lose everything!]
[Can the title of box office elixir bring Li Yi good luck as always? 】
[Domestic science fiction movie Seven Deadly Sins, a professional analysis of why everyone is not optimistic about Li Yi's new movie!]
[There is no doubt that Li Yi is a really good actor, but can he become an excellent company boss and investor? 】
Amid the unanimous pessimism and doubts from various media, Li Yi once again posted a Weibo post, announcing the on-site start-up photos and announcing that filming of The Wandering Earth has officially begun!!!
