Li Xiu was trying to reclaim the name of Chinese Kungfu!
Yesterday, Li Xiu had a public match with the world boxing champion. He defeated the world boxing champion with one hand and made China's martial arts famous!
Chinese Kungfu really existed: Li Xiu defeated the world's boxing champion with one hand!
Today, he could announce to the world that Chinese Kungfu really existed!
Li Xiu defeated the world's boxing champion with one hand and set off a craze for kung fu!
【……】
The next day, both domestically and abroad were reporting on this matter.
The news was all over the country. Chinese Kungfu had been doubted for too long. Now that Li Xiu had truly made Chinese Kungfu famous, it could be said that the whole country was celebrating. It made all the Chinese people feel proud and elated.
There were also quite a few reports overseas. Zhao Yong was indeed a world-class All King. He was the runner-up in the UFC global competition and was still very strong.
Yet, such a world-class boxing champion was defeated by someone with one hand?
The news of the real existence of Chinese Kungfu also attracted the attention and heated discussion of the foreign people and netizens. The video of Li Xiu and Zhao Yong's battle was watched, viewed, and analyzed by foreigners. Li Xiu was shocked by them!
Li Xiu chose to keep a low profile after the match and did not accept any high-profile interviews. The reporters could not stop him even if they wanted to, unless he walked out of the Rose Garden villa himself.
At most, he would chat with netizens online and promote Iron Man.
Facing countless netizens who wanted to be his disciple, he expressed that he was under great pressure. He rejected all of them and did not talk about this matter.
……
In March, taking advantage of this popularity," Ye Wen 2 " was established in Dingtian Entertainment, and the script was submitted for review.
Li Xiu called Assistant Director Zhang Shaoqiu over.""Old Zhang, you can guide 'Ye Wen 2'!”
"Ah ~!!?"
Zhang Shaoqiu was stunned by this sudden surprise!
He had been an assistant director with Li Xiu for two years.
After he graduated from Beijing Film Academy, he joined Li Xiu's crew by chance as an assistant director. Then he joined Dingtian Entertainment and worked there until now.
Previously, Li Xiu had failed to make movies, so he didn't choose to leave. On one hand, he had a good life in Dingtian Entertainment. Besides the high salary, he could also learn a lot.
Perhaps Li Xiu had failed all the time, but Zhang Shaoqiu could at least learn from Li Xiu's failures, right?
Until Li Xiu's filming of "Ye Wen" was successful. The total box office in the country broke through 1.1 billion, and the global box office broke through 1.5 billion!
Now that Li Xiu had made a name for Chinese Kungfu, he could be said to have become the spokesperson of Chinese Kungfu and a flag of Chinese Kungfu.
Kungfu movies thus ushered in an explosive period. Film companies in China and even abroad had offered hundreds of millions of yuan or even higher to invite Li Xiu to play the male lead.
It could be said that as long as the interest was paid, there was basically no need to worry about the box office, especially for martial arts movies.
Currently,'Iron Man' was undergoing post-production, and 'Ye Wen 2' was on the agenda with such popularity. Li Xiu was actually not going to be the director anymore?
Instead, Zhang Shaoqiu would be the director?
One had to know that " Ye Wen 2 " had Ye Wen's first film as the foundation and Li Xiu as the main lead. The box office of the second film could already be predicted, with a minimum of 2 billion yuan!
And it was the domestic box office!
Zhang Shaoqiu could not understand why Li Xiu would let him be the main director.
Li Xiu shouldn't continue to be the director and lead actor. That would be better. The audience and fans would be more convinced.
"President Li, this…"
Before Zhang Shaoqiu could finish, Li Xiu waved his hand.""It's decided then. You graduated from the Beijing Film Academy's directing department and have been working with me as an assistant director for the past two years.”
"Previously, when you were filming 'Ye Wen', you did very well. For the filming of' Ye Wen 2', you are familiar with it anyway. You can be the director, and I will be the producer!”
Zhang Shaoqiu graduated from the Beijing Film Academy's directing department. He had really learned a lot in the past two years, and Li Xiu could tell.
At the very least, directing 'Ye Wen 2' would not be a problem.
Zhang Shaoqiu was the assistant director of " Ye Wen 1 ", so he was very familiar with " Ye Wen 2 ".
"I definitely won't let President Li down!”
Zhang Shaoqiu didn't reject him anymore. It was impossible for him not to have some thoughts when he heard Li Xiu say that he wanted him to direct 'Ye Wen 2'.
He also wanted to direct " Ye Wen 2 ", but he was afraid that it would ruin the reputation of the movie!
Secondly, he had taken over the director's authority from Li Xiu and was under a lot of pressure. The netizens liked to watch Li Xiu personally direct and star in 'Ye Wen'. Now that Zhang Shaoqiu was the director, the pressure was obvious.
He might even be scolded!
As the boss, Li Xiu wasn't afraid that this decision would cause the reputation of 'Ye Wen 2' to decline and affect the box office. What was Zhang Shaoqiu afraid of?
This was likely to be a movie with a guaranteed box office of 2 billion yuan, or even higher!
How many directors could reach such heights in their entire lives?
Soon, Dingtian Entertainment announced that Ye Wen 2 was about to start shooting, and the original cast would still star in it.
Li decorated the main character, Ye Wen, and Zhang Xiaoran as Ye Wen's wife, Zhang Yongcheng. At the same time, there were other newcomers joining…There would be auditions later!
In the movie "Ye Wen 2", there was also a young Bruce Lee who appeared to be Ye Wen's disciple!
In the future, after the filming of the "Ye Wen" series was completed, they could directly film Bruce Lee or something.
There was one point. Li Xiu would no longer be the director of 'Ye Wen 2', but the producer.
The director was Zhang Shaoqiu, the assistant director of " Ye Wen 1 ".
Although many people were puzzled by this, many people were relieved that Li Xiu was the lead actor and producer.
As long as Li Xiu was the lead actor, with his supervision, it would be the same no matter who became the director.
On the 7th of March," Ye Wen 2 " held auditions for a few new characters. There were quite a number of people who came to attend the auditions.
Even the martial arts superstar, Jin Hong, came to the audition.
In addition, there were also many A-list actors who came to participate in the audition.
Fortunately, there were no female characters this time. Otherwise…there would definitely be a lot of girls who would be willing to look for Li Xiu to go through the script.
Many companies expressed their willingness to invest in Ye Wen 2, but they were all rejected by Li Xiu.
After the production of " Iron Man," Li Xiu really didn't have much money left. However, in the previous match with Zhao Yong, he earned a million dollars as an appearance fee, and then he earned a ticket bonus.
After this competition, he had earned tens of millions!
In addition to the fact that he had sold the copyright of the first movie for a good price, there was no problem in producing the second movie.
After deciding on the cast, Ye Wen 2 held a press conference on March 15th.
Li Xiu and the other main creators were all present, and the manager of 20th Century Fox was also present. He announced that he would be responsible for the distribution of Ye Wen 2 in North America and some other countries. At the same time, he also expressed that he was optimistic about Dingtian Entertainment and hoped to have more opportunities to cooperate with Li Xiu and Dingtian Entertainment.
The movie was initially scheduled to be released in many countries around the world on July 7th!
……
On April 15th, the entire production team of Ye Wen 2 had a day off.
Li Xiu flew to Xiangjiang with the main creative team to attend the Golden Statue Awards ceremony!
Among the nominees announced in February, Ye Wen was nominated for 12 projects at the Xiangjiang Golden Awards:
Best Picture
Best Director
Best Actor
Best Supporting Actor
Best Screenplay
Best Movement Design
Best Cinematography
Best editing
Best Art Direction
Best Original Movie Score
Best Sound Mixing
Best Visual Effects
This time, Ye Wen could be said to be a huge harvest, becoming the biggest winner.
Many netizens predicted that the chances of "Ye Wen" winning the award this time were definitely not small.
The reason was simple. Li Xiu was too popular and was already the spokesperson of Chinese Kungfu. This would definitely have a certain impact on the awards ceremony.
Li Xiu was wearing a black Tang suit. He had cut off his hair and beard from when he was filming Iron Man, making him look more capable, energetic, and young.
Following him was Zhang Xiaoran, who was wearing a red dress, as well as the other actors and staff of the crew. They walked the red carpet for more than five minutes, and more than 300 media outlets took photos.
To put it bluntly, the production team of "Ye Wen" was the real main character today!
