After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 609 Shishi: My mom said she would make something delicious for you.

"Director Li, just eat! Don't just look at me!"

Sister-in-law Zhou Yun picked up a big chicken leg for him, filling up his bowl.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. You don't have to keep picking food for me. I'll eat when I want to. You won't be polite."

Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Then go ahead and eat it!"

"Your sister-in-law cooked this herself. Her cooking skills are so good. The taste is quite good." Jiang Wen picked up a piece of braised pork and started eating.

Li Mingyang took a few bites, poured himself a glass of wine, and started to fool his cheap brother.

He came to Jiang Wen's house for dinner today, not just to visit.

Jiang Wen is very successful as an actor, screenwriter, editor and director, but he is not one of the top three directors in mainland China.

The hexagonal warrior does not have a particularly outstanding point.

In terms of acting, Zhang Yimou is also a best actor, and the first domestic actor to win the best actor award at an international A-level film festival.

As for film awards, Chen Kaizi dominates them all with the Palme d'Or.

Speaking of box office, Feng Kuzi is worthy of the title of box office king and rarely fails. He is the most box office-appealing director in the country and has won many awards.

Even though Jiang Wen has the two masterpieces Let the Bullets Fly and The Devils Come, it is still not enough!

Of course, if he could win the Best Director Award at the Academy Awards, then the top three directors in mainland China would become the top four directors in mainland China.

It is pioneering, special and unique!

Unfortunately I didn’t get it.

"Brother, it's not easy to make a living in China right now. Have you ever thought about developing somewhere else?" Li Mingyang said directly.

When dealing with Jiang Wen, don't be subtle or beat around the bush, just say what you want to say.

Jiang Wen showed a wicked smile and pointed at Li Mingyang, "You are going to drag someone down with you, kid!"

"That's not the case. There are better ways abroad, so of course we have to seize them. There are many people going abroad to film," said Li Mingyang.

"Others go to Hollywood, but you go to Korea."

"Is there any difference?" Li Mingyang asked back.

"There is a huge difference. The influence of Hollywood and Korea is totally different. Let me tell you this: although the Sino-Korean co-production is very loud, in fact, we are the ones who make the final decision. The Koreans have to admit it even if they don't agree." Jiang Wen took a sip of wine and continued, "As long as we participate in the cooperation with Hollywood, it is our success. Going to Hollywood is called further study, and going to Korea is called poverty alleviation!"

Help your sister!

You can still make the decision now, try it in two years!
"What's wrong with poverty alleviation? Poverty alleviation brings greater benefits! Now it's difficult for you to even make a movie. Poverty alleviation brings money and fame, and you can even win a few awards later."

Jiang Wen picked up the cigar on the ashtray, took a deep puff, tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Brother, you are too stubborn. You don't want to take the Yangguan Road, but you have to take the single-plank bridge. If you don't want to go to Hollywood, then don't go. If you can't make a movie, then take a good rest, enjoy life, chat, drink, pick up girls, and if you really have the skills, just get a job as a producer and tinker with it."

"People! Don't fight with yourself. There are too many twists and turns here."

Li Mingyang sighed, "Brother, you have changed."

"You have to be flexible." Jiang Wen patted Li Mingyang on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You are in danger now! You could have held on for two years and the limelight would have passed, but you actually invested in Han Ying and became a shareholder of CJ. There is something fishy about your background! It's still unknown when you can come back."

"Don't ever say that I won't come back. It's not that easy to survive abroad. The spirit of the contract is bullshit! They are all bandits!"

"Only in China can you gain both fame and fortune! Old Han sees everything, so he said that if you don't understand, you will suffer a lot in the future!"

Li Mingyang stood up, raised his glass with both hands and toasted Brother Bianyi.

"I appreciate your words, brother."

"Come sit down, don't be so distant, just treat it like your own home."

Li Mingyang has sinister intentions and is extremely cunning. Jiang Wen knows very well that Li Mingyang has no good intentions towards him.

But this is how domestic entertainment is, good people can’t survive!
Daring and reckless, Jiang Wen saw his younger self in Li Mingyang.

Recalling the glorious past years, now that I have a family of my own, I no longer have the courage to smash everything.

He envied Li Mingyang just as he envied his younger self.

With the flood of capital, the brothers around him are changing, and he doesn’t know how long he can hold on!
"Brother, what you said is all right, but you overlooked one thing. What would happen if I won the Palme d'Or?"

Jiang Wen laughed loudly, "There is still a chance in China. Chen Kaizi won it. How can the Koreans win it? On what basis can they win it? The Korean film market is dominated by Westerners. The transaction is not established at all. The European Big Three is just a transaction. The Koreans have no bargaining chips at all! Give them some nominations to appease them, give them some small awards to get rid of them. It's pure dreaming to want to win the European Big Three!"

"is it?"

"Europe's top three, do you know as well as I do?"

Uh...can't refute that.

Cannes Film Festival.

Bian Yian Da Ge won the Jury Prize at the 53rd Cannes Film Festival for his film "The Devils".

This award is second only to the Palme d'Or!

Venice Film Festival.

His directorial debut "Sunny Days" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 51st Venice Film Festival, helping Xia Yu become the first Chinese Venice Film Festival actor.

Berlin Film Festival.

He has starred in two award-winning films, "Red Sorghum" and "Birth Year".

The three major European experiences are quite rich!

But I have opened my eyes, and South Korea’s first European top three is coming!

……

2012 9 Month 8 Day.

The 69th Venice International Film Festival has come to a close.

"Pietà" directed by South Korean director Kim Ki-duk won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film, marking South Korea's first highest award at the three major international film festivals in Europe!
First time in history!

This was supposed to be an exciting event for the Koreans!
However, to Li Mingyang's surprise, Kim Ki-duk was not well received by Korean audiences and the industry...

There are very few filmmakers who openly cheered for him. The film has been released in Korea for a week, but the box office is pitifully low, with a total of less than 100,000 viewers.

Even the reaction of the Korean media at the awards ceremony in Venice was surprisingly weak.

I'm too lazy to even applaud...

Something is wrong!

When Parasite won the Palme d'Or, the whole country of South Korea celebrated!
All the filmmakers in Korea are flattering Bong Joon-ho!

Although the Golden Lion Award is not as good as the Palme d'Or, it is at least one of the three major awards in Europe. This deserted scene made Li Mingyang feel guilty.

The reaction to the Koreans winning the top three for the first time was too cold!
There doesn't seem to be any bonus from winning the award.

What's more, he is a student of Dongda University, and Kim Ki-duk is a Korean after all.

Li Mingyang told Li Meijin about his concerns. Li Meijin smiled and told him not to worry so much, and then told him what Kim Ki-duk had done.

If you don’t listen carefully, you won’t know!
Kim Ki-duk is such a jerk. Compared to him, Feng Pants and Chief Jia are simply saints.

This guy is nicknamed 'the scum of Korean films' and 'a Korean director walking in Europe'.

Korean filmmakers and audiences don't like him.

In fact, long before Pietà won the Golden Lion Award, Kim Ki-duk was a regular at the three major European awards. He is the only Korean director who has won awards at all three European awards.

However, no matter how many awards he won abroad, how many times he made history for the Korean film industry, and no matter how much the Western media praised him, Koreans have never liked this Korean citizen.

It’s not his nationality that has a problem, it’s his thinking that has a problem!
His films are filled with violence, misogyny, darkness, nastiness and dirtiness.

Other directors explore human nature, but he challenges the bottom line of human nature.

He was denounced as a "scumbag" by Korean netizens.

"Only people with dark hearts can shoot such disgusting things." This has become the consensus of many people.

And the fact is that this guy is indeed a scumbag.

This forced him to glorify himself in his autobiographical documentary Alilang as a dream apostle who was willing to sacrifice everything for the film.

In fact, the netizens’ criticisms are all correct, and everyone in the Korean entertainment industry knows what kind of person he is.

His crew is hell for women, and they are raped by many people.

Then he also showed that extremely dark thought in the movie, instilling twisted violent xq thoughts into the viewers.

Not only do Korean filmmakers reject him, but major theaters also don't like his films, scheduling as few screenings as possible.

Although Korean entertainment is very dark, the media, audiences, film practitioners, and major film companies are all very averse to such scumbag directors.

In other words, he was able to win awards, but for the sake of the reputation of Korean films, he was not exposed. Otherwise, he would have been kicked out of the film industry long ago.

But the Korean people really don't like him, they even hate him.

The movie "Pietà" is indeed unique in that it won the Golden Lion. It uses religion, maternal love, and redemption to explain the sins and punishments of marginalized people and the evil of human nature.

Very dark movie.

Lots of creepy and disgusting details.

In fact, after watching this movie, most viewers did not feel how great a mother's love is, but only felt the distortion and darkness of human nature. The movie "Pietà" is actually a competition with Bong Joon-ho's "Mother".

Both of them focus on maternal love.

But the expressions are completely different, but in the end they all end up being the same, both are pretty creepy...

But from a commercial perspective, the mother is better, more down-to-earth, and the reversal is particularly exciting.

The performances of Kim Hye-ja and Won Bin, the collision between veteran actors and new film emperors, are amazing!
Apart from its darkness and curiosity, Pietà lacks any dramatic techniques and is crudely made.

The Koreans were indifferent to Pietà winning the Golden Lion Award.

But it caused an uproar at the University of Tokyo.

No matter how much people doubt it, the influence of the three major European countries is there.

The progress of Korean films was proven after Pietà won the Golden Lion Award.

Originally, no one thought that Li Mingyang had the ability to win the Palme d'Or in Korea.

The success of the Holy Pietism made all those doubts go to hell.

If there is a first, there will be a second. The first time in history is the most difficult!

Now someone has helped Li Mingyang break the zero.

It has become possible for South Korea to win the Palme d'Or. It is no longer illusory and out of reach!

The most direct manifestation is those netizens and film critics on Weibo who once questioned Li Mingyang's decision to go to Korea.

Suddenly, the wind direction took a sharp turn for the worse, and everyone was curious whether Li Mingyang could win the Palme d'Or next year.

One of the essays, titled "Li Mingyang and the Palme d'Or," quickly became a hot topic.

This article analyzes the possibility of Li Mingyang winning the Cannes Palme d'Or from three perspectives!
"First of all, it's about stance. Li Mingyang's stance is seriously problematic. Is he a Dongda filmmaker or a Korean filmmaker? Only he knows.

And judging from his determination to invest in Korean films.

Li Mingyang has changed.

What the West likes to win over the most are the degenerate filmmakers from the University of Tokyo. The greater their influence, the greater the benefits, which is conducive to the West's export of some extreme ideas.

For example, democracy and freedom!

Secondly, strength. Li Mingyang is a rare director in China who can balance business and art. His films have both commercial drama and tension, as well as reflections on reality and explorations of human nature.

Love and reality of a bouquet of love.

Your Name uses magical techniques to deeply explore human nature, destiny and emotions. The impact and color of the pictures are epoch-making.

Weathering with You, on the surface, is a love movie, but in fact it is a movie about the relationship between man and nature, love and sacrifice.

If this movie didn't have a happy ending and had a few more regrets, it might have been better and more outstanding!

New World, gangster intrigue, is as good as Infernal Affairs. This movie is the best movie Li Mingyang has made since he entered the industry!
The actors' acting skills are superb, and it brings together the best group of movie stars in Korea to create the most complete movie!
I have to say that the actors in the first three movies were surprisingly bad, including Li Mingyang himself... and the bad ones were all very distinctive, which is amazing!

Li Mingyang is a rare director who can break the film viewing records in China and South Korea at the same time and express his own personal thoughts. If he really makes a customized movie for Cannes, there is no reason why he would not be successful. It may take two years or even five years!
But you can definitely get it!

Li Mingyang's business and art are compatible, perfectly meeting the requirements of Cannes!
Cannes without Li Mingyang would be a failure!
Finally, in terms of identity, Li Mingyang is not only a director, he is also a businessman!

He is not fighting alone.

According to his barbarian businessman thinking, if he can't get it, then rob it, and if he can't rob it, then smash it!

In the words of Johnnie To: His mind is full of the three golds.

It’s just not a wild chicken award, a wild man award, or a wild horse award.

But the three European golds!

New World has no Cannes pedigree and should not have won the award anyway, but Li Mingyang won it!
If Cannes wants to prove its greatness, it should attract the best filmmakers in the world!

Li Mingyang perfectly meets the commercial value, artistic value, and unified value of Cannes! "

This short essay analyzes the possibility of Li Mingyang winning the award from three perspectives: stance, strength, and identity.

It would be unjust if Cannes didn't give me any awards!

Netizens who saw this article generally wondered if this was written by Li Mingyang himself!

This is not the first or second time that Li Mingyang has written a short essay. At the end of last year, he published a long Weibo post titled "Dancing in Shackles"!
Put the Tokyo University filmmakers on the fire!
The issue of auditing has become very popular and has caused extensive and heated discussions!

However, the instigator, Li Mingyang, fled to Korea.

"Honey, did you write this essay?"

The crescent moon is like a hook, in the quiet park, there are benches under the shade of trees.

Liu Shishi hugged Li Mingyang's arm, rested her head on Li Mingyang's shoulder, and browsed Weibo.

"Half of it was written by me, and the bragging words were written by others. It's embarrassing to brag about myself. The main reason is that I feel that the things I have done are very ordinary and trivial. There is nothing to brag about. I can't brag about it!"

Liu Shishi wrinkled her nose, covered her mouth and smiled, "No! I think you are quite good at bragging, just like now."

Li Mingyang slid his hand down Shishi's back, supported her body, and held her in his arms.

Shishi panted softly, and soon the inside of her mask was covered with a layer of mist.

"Is there someone..." Shishi said in a low voice when she saw someone coming.

"It's normal in the small park. We are fully armed and no one can recognize us." Li Mingyang said while biting Shishi's cold ear.

The figures gradually became clear, and it was a young couple.

Shishi gave up resistance, feeling extremely nervous. When the other party left, Shishi Liu pulled Li Mingyang's hand out from her back. "What are you doing..."

"Of course I love you."

"Don't mess around!" Liu Shishi said angrily, "You've been getting worse and worse recently. I don't want it."

"That's not up to you."

Shishi is relatively conservative. She is open at home with a slim waist, but she is not so comfortable outside. She is shy even when kissing.

Li Mingyang tried to untie Shishi's belt, but Shishi refused, and the two of them just kept pulling each other.

Shishi is not as strong as him, but Shishi, who is determined, is not so easy to deal with. Her whole body is resisting and she even bites her fingers.

The two men struggled for more than ten minutes. Shishi was exhausted and sweating, and Li Mingyang failed.

The main reason was that Shishi’s resistance made too much noise, and Li Mingyang was worried about being discovered. If the police were called, he would be dead.

There are many people having sex in this small park.

The small park is not okay. Li Mingyang was just about to take Shishi to the car, so this is fine.

It can be started by pulling the curtains.

When the two returned to the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle, Li Mingyang couldn't wait to hold Shishi's mouth and taste her.

"Wait, husband, let me discuss something with you."

"Let's go to your house for dinner?"

Liu Shishi blinked quickly, "How do you know..."

"You forgot. Last time when you were sleeping at your house, your parents mentioned this at the door. You never mentioned it, so I thought you had forgotten it."

"So are you ready?"

“It’s better to choose a different day than to hit it, let’s do it today!”

"Um... tomorrow, my mom said she'd make you something delicious."

……

The next day at noon, Li Mingyang held his sister's hand and followed her back to her home.

Li Mingyang had naturally met Mr. and Mrs. Liu, but this was the first time he had formally visited their home to meet their parents.

Mother Liu is a good cook and she prepared a table full of delicious dishes, but there was something wrong with this dish.

It’s not that it’s not delicious.

Steamed oysters are very tender and fresh.

Chive eggs are green and have good color, aroma and flavor.

Pork ribs stewed with yam, spiced beef brisket, beef liver stewed with wolfberry...

There are so many aphrodisiac dishes...

I don’t know if it’s because Mom Liu is used to doing this for Dad Liu.

I still hope that he will eat more and work harder so that Shishi can get pregnant sooner.

Shishi probably didn't know, so she smiled and told him to eat more and picked some food for him.

"Mingyang, don't you usually take off your sunglasses at home?" Aunt Liu asked curiously.

I'm worried something might happen to you!
