It was the night of the second day when they returned to Shanghai.
Actually, they could take a plane back to Shanghai in the afternoon.
However, because they had won awards and the company had an incentive mechanism, those who won important awards could receive a bonus from the company.
One million.
In Lin Qi's tacit agreement, the entire company belonged to Bai Yi.
Therefore, there was no need to give Bai Yi the two million yuan.
However, Li Xin's one million yuan had to be given out. After all, she had brought back the Best Newcomer Award for the company.
After receiving this bonus, Li Xin naturally thought of shopping.
This was her first time in Hong Kong City, so she naturally wanted to have fun.
Bai Yi could only go along with her.
This was because this little girl was really hardworking and did not have much time to let herself go.
Lin Qi's family background was not bad. She had been to Hong Kong City before, but it was all just a fleeting moment. She didn't have the time to shop so leisurely.
Therefore, Bai Yi could only let the two women drag him around Hong Kong City.
After a series of purchases.
The two of them returned with a full load.
After returning to Shanghai, Bai Yi realized that most of these things were sold to him.
Watches, clothes, sunglasses, ties, leather shoes, and even men's perfume were all bought.
As a result, he definitely did not have to buy anything for the next year.
There were clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Bai Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Back in Shanghai.
The video of Bai Yi receiving the award on the spot appeared on all the major social media platforms and Short videos applications.
"I knew that Bai Yi's Inception would definitely win a few awards, but I didn't expect it to win four heavyweight awards this time! And both of them are Bai Yi's."
"This is really awesome!"
"Director Bai is going to soar into the sky! Winning two awards for Best Director and Best Film in one go was really too impressive!”
"It's definitely something I didn't expect. Director Bai, you're still calm.”
"Inception has 2 billion box office earnings, and Horror Cruise has 1 billion box office earnings. Now, Director Bai has been promoted to a 3 billion director, but he has only filmed two movies! Therefore, it was not surprising that he won these two awards.”
Countless people congratulated Bai Yi.
Bai Yi was now completely famous.
The number of Weibo fans had successfully exceeded 10 million.
There was even a fan club that discussed Bai Yi's movie every day.
Bai Yi's interview after winning the award also attracted everyone's attention.
Many directors would choose to stay silent for a period of time after shooting a popular movie to rest and find new inspiration.
However, Bai Yi clearly did not intend to do so.
He would also try out new types of movies and hire an extra as the main lead.
What did extras mean?
He was just a minor character.
Behind the lead actor, he would play a soldier, a follower, or even a corpse.
It was already very good to be able to give a shot.
A few lines would be enough to make those extras happy for a few days.
However, he didn't expect Bai Yi to directly announce that he would use an extra as the main lead.
This surprised many people.
"A comedy? This leap was too great! Can it work?"
"Is it inflated? It's fine if you don't use celebrities, but you have to use some professional actors, right? Are you kidding me?"
"It's really unbelievable."
"If an extra had acting skills, would he still be an extra?”
"I don't really believe the film he shot this time. After all, the gap is too big.”
"I will always support Director Bai! He's the director with the most attitude. I believe he can do it!”
"Thank you, Director Bai, for letting our audience's brain cells go! Comedy, I guarantee my support! As long as they didn't burn their brains, they would support anything!”
Bai Yi's hardcore fans were naturally very supportive and looking forward to it.
However, many people who were jealous did not agree at all.
They all felt that Bai Yi had become arrogant after receiving this award.
If he continued to film suspense movies, he could still make some box office earnings. However, it was very easy to film a mainstream comedy, but it was very difficult to make a good comedy.
Not to mention that he was an unknown actor.
Zhou Xingxing had also heard the comments online.
This made him a little nervous.
After all, he was just an extra in the past. Even though he was passionate and had read the book " An Actor's Self-Cultivation ", it was still a dream.
And this was reality.
Reality was always cruel.
The audience couldn't possibly approve of you just because you worked hard.
Work hard.
In this world, it seemed ridiculous.
They only cared if you succeeded.
"Director, why don't you find some celebrities to act as the main actors? I'll just play a supporting role.”Zhou Xingxing was not confident.
Bai Yi understood that it was natural for any extra to become the main lead in a single leap. It was like a dream.
Moreover, he had just won two awards at the Golden Academy Awards.
However, Bai Yi said," Since the outside world is doubting you, then don't back down. You have to act better, act real, act realistic, and show all your potential. Only then can you ruthlessly slap their faces!“
"Who said extras don't have acting skills? The extras were more hardworking and professional than those pretty actors. They were just missing a chance.”
After hearing this, Zhou Xingxing nodded."" Alright, Director. I understand."
Bai Yi patted his shoulder." How are the preparations?”
Zhou Xingxing said," It's almost done. I visited a master two days ago and listened to a piece of Zen. I learned some moves. Also, my idol is Bruce Lee. He especially likes kung fu!”
Bai Yi praised," Isn't that good? The production team is about to recruit roles. The female lead is Tong Liya from our company. As for the supporting roles, we are currently recruiting.”
The female lead in " Kung Fu " didn't have many scenes, and she was a mute.
It didn't suit Li Xin's temperament, so Bai Yi chose Ya Wang.
Not only was she beautiful and refined, but she was also mesmerizing just by standing there. Without saying a word, her eyes were full of drama.
It was most suitable for her to act.
Zhou Xingxing nodded. Ya Wang was already quite famous before she came, so he respected her.
He said," Director, I met a few extras like me when I was playing an extra role. They're very unique. Why don't I call them over to try out?”
Bai Yi's eyes lit up." That's great. The most important thing for our show is that every supporting role has their own unique characteristics. We have to let the audience remember them at first glance! The more people like this, the better."
