Although Li Yu is also a quite famous filmmaker internationally, and he has a good relationship with Ye Ming, they are at least friends who can talk to each other.
But in the entertainment industry, there are actually no real friends or enemies, only real interests.
Only real benefits are eternal, and everything else is negotiable.
So now Li Yu seems to be Ye Ming's opponent.
Moreover, although Li Yu has a backer, Ye Ming's backer is even stronger. Universal will definitely promote Running Bar. Now he has met someone from Universal and went to Venice for public relations.
Therefore, under such a situation, Li Yu was a bit unsatisfied.
I have to say that Lust, Caution is indeed a good novel. After it was made into a movie, some of the plots in the novel were truly restored, and some even restored the plots in an excessively realistic manner.
Some of the sex scenes are so explicit that you can actually tell they were filmed for foreigners to watch.
This is the cunning point of Li Yu. You may not be able to understand my movie, and that doesn’t matter. Chinese civilization is vast and profound, and even if you can’t understand it, there is nothing to laugh at.
But if in a situation like this, you can’t understand any sex scene, you can’t understand the white thighs, don’t you like women?
This is where Li Yu is cunning. His many years of living in the United States have made him very familiar with the Western cultural environment. No matter how you put it, sex scenes are universal in any Western movie.
It is even said that in Eastern movies, even if there is a sex scene, it is contracted to shoot some scenes of spring and autumn brushwork and so on, and it is directly brought over.
As for whether mainland Chinese audiences like this situation, they definitely do, but movies with this kind of footage will 100% fail to pass mainland review.
Therefore, Li Yu’s plan is to re-edit a version for the mainland. This reflects Li Yu’s cunningness.
It doesn't matter if you can't pass it. If the scene of the sex scene is deleted, then basically speaking, there is no problem with such a thing.
Li Yu's structure is too small, limited to fighting for one city and one land. In other words, apart from filming movies, he ignores all other macro and micro effects.
This aspect can be regarded as quite individual.
Therefore, although Li Yu has certain connections, if we compare these connections in the entertainment industry with a group like Universal Pictures, it is basically not that he is crazy. Not only does Ye Ming have the global nature of Huihuang.com,
The website and the platform for promoting one’s own works will definitely outperform movies of the same category many times. There is also the shadow of Soros behind Ye Ming.
Ye Ming's connections in Hollywood are quite strong.
Therefore, under such a situation, if he really wants to participate in Venice, Ye Ming's chances of winning are very high.
Otherwise, the special effects of Running Man are quite good. The special effects are top-notch in the world. This is why some people like this movie twice, three times, etc.
But Liang Chaowei said: "We don't need to worry, it's not the director who invested the money yourself, the investors are actually more anxious.
At that time, they will work harder on public relations.
As for Ye Ming, there is no solution and no solution, at least at this stage.
I also watched "Run", and it didn't have any great storylines. Basically, it was not much different from variety shows.
But for a problem like this, the special effects of Running Bar are definitely very powerful.
Many second-time viewers actually go there for the special effects.
We are still a literary film, which does not mean that we have no ability to fight back.
What I'm actually worried about is the details. For a movie like this, you still need to pay attention to the details.
There are explicit sex scenes in our movies. Such plots may not be common in Xiangjiang Island, but if we are talking about the Mainland, then some scenes like this are unheard of.
Once it appears, it will be harmonized. I can tell you this from my experience shooting in mainland China.
What we need is how to avoid this situation.
You don’t need to ask me to know that Xiangjiang’s version is unlikely to pass mainland censorship. This kind of sex scene is simply impossible to serve in mainland cinemas.”
To be honest, Liang Chaowei has not shot many scenes in the mainland, but he is a big-name actor after all, and he is also quite well-known in the mainland. Even Hua Shuo is more famous than Li Yu.
This is a society based on appearance, and appearance is justice. There is almost no doubt about this. When it comes to appearance, Li Yu was thrown away by Liang Chaowei.
Therefore, his worries are not unreasonable. After all, in such a situation, Liang Chaowei has to consider his own future.
If a movie like Lust, Caution cannot be released in mainland China, then it will still have a considerable impact on my plans at this time.
After all, regarding a question like this, Liang Chaowei actually knows very well what kind of movie Lust, Caution is.
If a movie like Lust, Caution can really be released in the mainland, even if it is a re-edited version, it will be quite helpful to my popularity in the mainland.
Therefore, at this time, if it is said that Lust, Caution cannot pass the censorship in the mainland, then it is really unfortunate news.
At least for Liang Chaowei himself, it is unfortunate news.
Li Yu said helplessly: "I don't know, but these movie details are also very helpful to the plot.
And those foreigners also like similar plots very much.
As for the mainland version, I will check it out when the time comes. If the reaction is too strong, I will delete it.
A movie like Titanic also has similar naked scenes, but isn't it also shown in the same way in mainland China?
In fact, some things need to be fought for. If you don't fight for it yourself, then at this time, there is no chance of success at all."
Li Yu himself still has considerable persistence, persistence in art?
Nonsense, this sex scene has nothing to do with perseverance in art. If you want to watch a sex scene, Li Yu's skills are far beyond the Pacific Ocean.
Their ***, Teacher Wu, Teacher Ozawa, who are not experienced and tested warriors in many battles?
If Li Yu compares with these professionals, then there is no way that his shooting skills can be matched by these people.
After reading Tang Wei's works, Li Yu actually thought that Tang Wei's cool temperament was actually quite in line with the works in the original works. Therefore, he wanted to invite Tang Wei to participate in his movie.
After all, he is also an Oscar-level director. Therefore, in Li Yu's opinion, as long as he said that he was extending the invitation, there should be no problem in inviting Tang Wei.
How many actors are there in China that I cannot invite? It’s not that there are none, but you can check them out with one hand.
Therefore, Li Yu was actually quite confident in sending out the invitation at that time.
But the result was something he never expected. Tang Wei actually refused. The reason was simple: the boss wouldn't let him.
This is a rather dumbfounding reason. But think about it, Tang Wei’s boss is Ye Ming, who must report his flaws. He is also a sideways character in the entertainment industry.
This guy is one of the few actors in China who can not sell his face.
Whether domestically or internationally, they are the kind of superstars who can avoid selling their own face.
In Baodao, this guy also walks sideways, and few people dare to provoke him.
The key is, this guy has become even more famous in the United States. It took him so many years to get around, but now, he is hooking up with the tycoons in Hollywood.
Hook up with the investment giants on Wall Street.
Huihuang.com has many powerful shareholders. This is actually where Ye Ming is cunning.
Take Huihuang.com, if it weren't for powerful shareholders such as Quantum Fund, Murdoch, Sequoia Capital and other extremely powerful shareholders, Huihuang.com would have been completely divided up in the West.
Even if Ye Ming is the founder, he will be kicked out.
But this guy insists on using so many powerful funds as a talisman. Anyone who wants to deal with Huihuang.com must consider whether he can withstand the joint strangulation of so many funds.
Therefore, Ye Mingqian doesn't have to give face to Li Yu. And Tang Wei is the same. If you want to shoot it yourself, just because the boss won't let you shoot it, won't it be possible for you to break the contract and change jobs?
Will I treat you badly then?
But thinking about it, there is no way. After all, Ye Ming's reputation is not good, and flaws must be retaliated. If you offend such a person, it will be hard for you not to be retaliated. A small actor who is not well-known will be banned.
.
Therefore, in fact, under such a situation, Li Yu was very unwilling and directly found another Zhou Jinyan, who had good appearance and was not very famous, to play a role like Wang Jiazhi.
It is still a rule that she is an actress from the Mainland. If she is from Xiangjiang Baodao, it is really hard to say what the impact will be. In fact, actresses from the Mainland are more suitable for cheating.
I had already tricked the two of them, but seeing that there was a sex scene, and it was a sex scene with Naked Guoguo, naked in front of the camera, that was impossible.
Not many mainland actresses are willing to accept such a result.
In the end, I only chose Zhou Jinyan, an actress who entered the industry relatively early but is not very famous, to take on such a role.
Actresses who are slightly famous actually don't really like this kind of role.
Therefore, when it comes to such a problem, Li Yu can only make do with it. Having a good boss is different. If an ordinary actress dared to reject herself like this, she would have been banned long ago.
Even if she is an actress from the Mainland, it is not impossible for her to block her.
But it is impossible to ban the actresses of Huihuang Film and Television.
Who makes Ye Ming, the boss of Huihuang Film and Television, a guy who must report his flaws?
Li Yu is sure that even if people in the entertainment industry are asked to answer a multiple-choice question, whether they choose to offend themselves or Ye Ming, I believe that the vast majority of people will choose to offend themselves rather than offend Ye Ming.
.
A super celebrity in the entertainment industry who must report flaws is very troublesome.
In fact, if Li Yu was allowed to choose on his own, he would not want to offend Ye Ming.
This is also a key reason why Tang Wei didn't agree to his invitation in the end, but Li Yu didn't say anything more either.
As for the mainland actress Zhou Jinyan chosen under such circumstances, she is also an actor with very good appearance and good acting skills, but she has not become popular.
This is a frustrating result.
Of course, if Zhou Jinyan hadn't become popular, it would have been impossible for her to appear in her own drama at this time.
After all, Liang Chaowei is also experienced in the battlefield and has a certain ability in predicting movies. Therefore, after thinking about it, he said: "It is not difficult to re-edit a version, but it is impossible for the footage of this movie not to be leaked.
The mainland is also very strict about this. They may attack movies. If they say they don't want to attack movies, they may attack actors in movies.
As a director or an international director, you don’t have to worry about being banned. As an actor, I don’t have to worry about it.
But at this time, as the female lead Zhou Jinyan, it is difficult to say what the result will be.
Regarding a question like this, no matter how you say it, Zhou Jinyan is an actor in our crew.
If possible, I think that if Neixi bans her, I can recommend her to come to Xiangjiang.
Otherwise, by then, if you want to shoot any movie in the mainland, you will probably encounter considerable resistance."
If you can't take good care of your own actors, then it's impossible for this young director to have support.
The same is true even for major international directors. Zhou Jinyan was banned. It seems that according to the rules of the mainland, this is very possible.
Although it is impossible for the Mainland version of Lust, Caution to include scenes of naked women, when this version with scenes of sex scenes is screened in Hong Kong Island, it is impossible for the Mainland not to know about it.
After all, the current network technology is so developed, and online videos can still spread very quickly.
It is impossible to ban this kind of lens online.
Therefore, Li Yu himself also thought about this issue. If Zhou Jinyan was banned, he really said that it was impossible to ignore it.
I must give everyone an explanation for this, even if it is for my own reputation, I still have to give everyone an explanation.
He understands the principle of spending thousands of gold to buy horse bones.
