Chapter 546: I hope you can take Brother Zhi’s punch!

Chapter 546: I hope you can take Brother Zhi’s punch!

It took a lot of effort for Li Youzhi to coax Tu Zheng and the others who were worried back.

Li Youzhi actually understood the concerns expressed by Tu Zheng, Liu Yun and Zhao Yaru.

After all, he knew what kind of character Zhi Ge was. From a business perspective, almost all the decisions he made and everything he did... were just a joke.

In the past, Heguang Culture was small in size, and it was no big deal for him to work hard, but now the size of Heguang Culture and the stock price of Heguang Audiovisual are here, and his operations must be seen as making trouble by Tu Zheng and the others.

But there is no way...

The reason why I am myself is because there are many things that no one else can do or will do!

If I really can be so stable, running a business and filming in a routine manner, Li Youzhi feels that it is boring to stay in the entertainment industry.

What kind of life is it if you don’t make trouble? It can only be called living!

It was exactly nine o’clock when I sent a few people to the elevator and returned to the room.

Just when Li Youzhi was thinking about taking the time to exercise, take a shower and go to bed, he saw a wave of private messages and @on his mobile phone screen.

After taking a closer look, Li Youzhi couldn't help but laugh.

Hey, I didn't expect that the netizens of Leziren were so powerful. It only took a short while for Oscar to respond!

With admiration for the fighting power of Leziren netizens, Li Youzhi quickly followed the portal given by Leziren in the private message and opened the official website of Oscar. However, when he saw the announcement just released by the Oscar Selection Committee, which was regarded as a response to his public questioning of the selection on INS and TKK, Li Youzhi's handsome face became serious.

Hiss,

What is the purpose of publicly dissing Oscar on INS and TKTK?

Li Youzhi knew that it would be quite difficult to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film based on the plot core of "Buried". And the fact that Oscar rejected the recommendation from the Film Bureau before was not unexpected by Li Youzhi.

Although the arrogant wording and attitude made Zhige angry, he was not that angry. The main reason for making trouble this time was actually because the Oscar selection work had already begun, and the ceremony would be held in four months, which was the time to create heat.

Since I have no possibility of being shortlisted now, I will do something first, no matter what. This first wave of traffic about the Oscars is a sure thing, and it is the traffic of fans around the world!

After all, if there is a topic, it will be hot.

As for whether the Oscars are under pressure, Zhige can't control it.

However, this response announcement of the presidium really saw through my intentions, and even turned the tables.

I created the topic heat and incited the domestic fans of Leziren. But the Oscar selection committee incited the fans around the world who are paying attention to the Oscar selection!

I want heat, and Oscar also wants heat.

It is foreseeable that after Lindeman's announcement, I will become the target of global fans. Even if I have twice as many fans, I can't compare with the audience of the Oscars, a film award that has been held for nearly a hundred years!

This is using Zhi Ge's power to promote Zhi Ge as the first promotion point of this year's Oscars!

After reading the announcement carefully from beginning to end, Li Youzhi stared at the signature of Lindeman, the chairman of this year's jury, and couldn't help but pursed his lips.

I have to say that the person who wrote this announcement... is quite skilled!

It not only affirmed the artistry of "Buried", but also emphasized the so-called selection principles of the Oscars. In this way, it seems that Zhi Ge was a little angry and lost his grace because he was not selected.

Looking at it before himself, I really underestimated the heroes of the world!

While Li Youzhi was staring at this announcement, the Oscar official website and the people who climbed over the wall to fight were already laughing!

Looking at the announcement that seemed mild in wording, but every sentence was directed at Li Youzhi's family, the comment area below the announcement was boiling;

"Fuck you! Promoting social dialogue and profound humanistic care, isn't it just political correctness? We have seen what kind of virtue you Oscars are. When your Hollywood films are blackening Su, why didn't you use these words to make a fuss? Didn't you give the awards that should be given?"

"That's right, you talk about double standards so high-soundingly, your Oscar selection committee is really thick-skinned!"

"I understand, Chinese films that satirize American current ills cannot be shortlisted = Oscars improve industry standards and encourage film art with far-reaching social influence. Hollywood or European films that smear China can be shortlisted = unique voices and visions, leading to deeper artistic exploration...Hahaha, the Oscar jury, these Angsah men, are getting more and more proficient in double standards."

When the announcement was just released, the comment area was full of Chinese comments.

But as time went on, fans from other countries who were watching the selection process joined in, and the numerical advantage of the army of people who were just having fun was gradually overwhelmed.

In the face of the sarcasm and ridicule of the people who were just having fun, the voices in the comment section supporting the Oscar jury became stronger and stronger.

The first to bear the brunt of this were the Korean netizens.

If you ask which country in Asia values ​​Oscars the most, Japan, South Korea, and India can all be ranked. But if you can only choose one, it must be the Korean audience!

Why do you say that?

In the international community, South Korea has always had a coexistence of inferiority and arrogance. On the one hand, South Korea has a population of 50 million and its GDP ranks among the top ten in the world, which can be regarded as a medium-sized power; but on the other hand, South Korea is in the monster room of East Asia, and its neighbors happen to be China and Japan. Historically, South Korea has long been a vassal of China and has been colonized by Japan for many years, so the national sentiment of the entire country of South Korea is relatively weird. They always feel that they are great and the center of the universe, but at the same time they are full of inferiority. After all, the gap between China and Japan in all aspects is there.

But only in terms of culture, Koreans have never felt inferior.

Since the last century, South Korea has launched a strategy of cultural national prosperity and exported Korean wave to the world. The reform of the film and television review and screening mechanism has also contributed to the golden twenty years of the Korean film industry. Although the domestic film and television box office in South Korea has shrunk year by year due to poor economic development in recent years, the audience's expectations for Korean films have always been quite high.

Korean audiences are extremely active at almost every international film festival, and this is no exception for awards like the Oscars.

"Haha! I really don't understand what these Chinese are yelling about. They are making a fuss like a child because a low-budget restricted-level movie was not nominated. They really have no knowledge."

"Poor Chinese audiences, maybe they think they have missed the closest opportunity to the Oscars. After all, they have never received such an honor."

"Does China have excellent movies? Even a movie like "Buried" is praised so much, I guess there is no film art to speak of, right?"

"A narrow-minded and stingy country, I really don't understand why you have the courage to challenge the authority of the Oscars. It is obvious that your level and vision are not enough, but you still want to get the attention of the Oscars by crying. What a group of pitiful guys!"

"You haven't even won the main awards of other international film festivals in the past ten years, but you actually fantasize about winning the Oscars. What a ridiculous and pathetic group of poor guys!"

In the comment area, netizens who were already angry at the Oscars' seemingly polite but actually more arrogant announcement, looked at the weird Korean comments, and their emotions... could no longer be suppressed!

…

After finishing his leg training as usual and washing off all the sweat, Li Youzhi, who was sitting in the living room of the hotel suite, picked up his phone.

At around 10 o'clock in the evening, in the comment section of his latest Douyin updates, the netizens who were away from home were already furious!

"Fuck, these idiot Koreans, they make me so angry!"

"Ahhhhh... tell them about the double standards of the Oscars, and they bring up the domestic film censorship. Talk to them about the domestic film industry, and they bring up the fact that our market is divided between Hollywood and their Korean stars... my prostate is so swollen from anger, a bunch of idiots!"

"I'm so angry that I'm crying, I can't stand this grievance, @listen to my brother Li Youzhi, come out and beat me up so I can continue to fight those Korean idiots!"

"Fuck, it's true that the domestic film industry is not doing well. Apart from my brother, I really can't come up with any strong arguments to refute these Koreans. Don't say how disgusting the Korean people are. Their film censorship mechanism is indeed relaxed, and they are open to discussing social issues in film works, and have made some above-standard films. But this feeling of being suppressed by the Koreans... it's really fucking bullshit!"

Beep!

Received the additional [angry] [frustrated] surprise value, 4120201 points!

Seeing a group of Leziren netizens being defeated and screaming in anger, Li Youzhi pursed his thin lips.

In fact, he was not in a good mood tonight. He was hit by the Oscar selection committee with a soft knife. When he was working out, he used three points more strength than usual.

Not for muscle gain, just to vent.

Feeling the pressure from Leziren netizens on the external network, Li Youzhi, who had not thought of any solution for the time being, thought about it and directly landed in the comment area.

[Friends, I'm sorry. Because I received a receipt from the Oscar selection committee in the afternoon, I felt despised and treated poorly, and I was impulsive for a while. I am really sorry to let everyone suffer for me. Don't go to the Oscar official website to argue for the time being. It's meaningless in the current situation. Instead, it makes people feel that we lack grace and can't afford to lose. ]

Li Youzhi wanted to reduce the heat and let the Leziren people calm down.

But he didn't expect that when his comment was pinned to the top of the comment area, the angry people suddenly became excited!

"Brother, I don't allow you to say such things! At a time when domestic films are collectively in a bad state, you are the only one who cares about us, the audience and netizens, and can produce works like "Dear", "Lonely Island", "The Wandering Earth", "Nezha" and "Buried Alive"! You are our hope, and this is why we protect and support you so much!"

" @Listen to the advice of brother Li Youzhi, what is said above is right! It's not that we can't afford to lose, but we can't swallow this breath! It has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it!"

"Damn it, I didn't really have any obsession with the Oscars before. I felt that it was just an American film award that was wrapped up in political correctness, but now I have changed my mind. Brother, I'll give you three years to grow up. Find a way to get me a little golden man! After getting it back, we'll smash it directly! Not to prove anything else, just to prove that we have the ability to win this award, but we don't bother to win it! As a viewer, I'm going to take this face!"

Beep!

Received a suggested task (find a way to get an Oscar within three years), the task difficulty is 10.5 stars, and after completing it, you can get SS-level reward treasure chest X1...

"..."

Looking at the suggestions related to the Oscars that were refreshed on the task list again, Li Youzhi grinned.

Oscar Oscar... If you want to win this award, with your conditions, it's really hell-level difficulty.

If it were normal, he might complain a few words.

But seeing the support and encouragement for himself in the comment area, and in order to divert the attention of netizens, he didn't do it.

Instead, he directly clicked on the irresponsible suggestion comment and casually replied;

"Okay, let's study it carefully tonight. With my current conditions, what should I do to win the Oscar!"

Swish!

Facing Li Youzhi's online inquiry, the people in the entertainment area have already developed conditioned reflexes... Seeing his reply, the hostility in the comment area instantly receded and the atmosphere became heated.

"I just looked at the list of Oscar-winning films in recent years. In recent years, the Oscars have paid special attention to themes that reflect social phenomena and individuals. Why don't you make a film of this type?"

"The previous one, you are so OUT! What you said was the trend of the Oscars three years ago. It is not popular now! What kind of works are the Oscars willing to award now? Themes that reflect minorities and individuals of minority groups! This is the political correctness of this version of the Oscars!"

"That's right! And I have carefully studied the latest Oscar award rules. Starting from this year's Oscars, the film must meet the requirements of actors, film themes, and narratives. At least one of the protagonists or supporting actors is a minority, and some important actors and roles with fewer roles come from at least two underrepresented groups; casting directors, photographers, composers, interns, marketing, publicity and distribution must be Only ethnic minorities and minority groups with certain quotas are eligible to be nominated for the Best Picture award..."

"Fuck, so even if Buried is nominated, it doesn't meet the Oscar selection criteria this year? How can this version be played? Otherwise... brother goes to Thailand to change his personality?"

"Puff! You are really a clever ghost in the previous one... But in this version of the Oscar, stacking buffs on yourself is a very effective way to win awards. If brother wants to win an Oscar, it is recommended to turn yourself into LGBTQIA+ first, such as a heterosexual bisexual woman or a Wal-Mart plastic bag, hahahaha Hangan!"

"Don't do it alone! Look at the Oscars' changed rules, how can I do it alone? It is recommended that all LGBTQIA+ members of Heguang Culture collectively transform into armed helicopters, so that the success rate of Oscar impact will be at least +50%, ha ha ha ha!"

Beep!

Received a suggested task (go to Thailand to change personality), the task is repeated...

Received a suggested task (change gender to a heterosexual female homosexual or a Wal-Mart plastic bag), the task difficulty is 8 stars!

Received a suggested task (Let the collective employees of Heguang Culture change their gender to armed helicopters), the task difficulty is 9 stars!

"..."

Looking at the relaxed atmosphere in the comment area, Li Youzhi was speechless.

Get together!

Zhige originally wanted you to divert your attention, but where did you divert your attention to? Soul!

If you guys said it, Zhige would indeed be more likely to win an Oscar,

But Zhige is also further away from humans!

If he wants to get the correctness that Oscar wants, Zhige's three views... are really incapable of accepting,

It can't be done, it really can't be done.

And...

Looking at a lot of completely irresponsible garbage suggestions, Li Youzhi shook his head helplessly.

The stacking buffs mentioned by the netizens of Leziren are more for American filmmakers. If an American director has a buff like a minority or a minority group, it may be useful for him to win the Oscar.

But what is Zhige's identity?

A Chinese with a red family background!

The Oscars have different standards for foreign filmmakers and American filmmakers. And this difference in standards is not reflected in the creators or actors, but in the content of the work.

If you want to win an Oscar, you basically have to give a pledge of allegiance to the Ansa gang, just like the three major European film festival awards. You have to show the so-called dark side of domestic society, and those old white people on the Oscar jury like this more!

But if Zhi Ge compromises with such a standard and blackens his own country just for an Oscar, is Zhi Ge still Zhi Ge?

What a beast!

Dinglinglinglinglingling...

Just when Li Youzhi was shaking his head at those unreliable suggestions, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was Su Bona calling, he answered it calmly.

"Hello? Old Su, what's going on?"

"My dear boss, let's raise a toast to celebrate! Just now, I have reached an agreement with Lionsgate and successfully finalized the DVD copyright of "Buried" for $5.5 million! Congratulations, the revenue of the movie "Buried" has exceeded 40 million US dollars! Boss, if you hadn't publicly questioned the Oscars tonight and let the popularity of "Buried" spread further, the damn misers of Lionsgate might have to consider it for a week or two! Excuse me, boss, you are really a genius in self-marketing!"

Wuhu,

Hearing the exciting report from Su Bona on the other end of the phone, Li Youzhi raised his eyebrows.

Well, this is one of the few good news tonight.

And... Li Youzhi is quite satisfied with the fact that Su Bona can provide rich emotional value at all times.

If this is in ancient times, you would be the chief steward of the palace!

No matter whether it is good or bad, it sounds so good when it comes out of your mouth, Old Su.

I am very pleased.

"Old Su, a netizen just suggested that I win an Oscar within three years. You are also a veteran in the international film and television industry. Do you have any good suggestions or opinions?"

Just to relieve boredom, Li Youzhi deliberately teased Su Bona.

Faced with his question, Su Bona really remained silent. After a while of thinking, he replied;

"Excuse me, boss, this is almost impossible. The Oscars have been crazy in the past two years, and even people like me can't understand their correctness. If I have to say, I think you can become an American citizen, and then give yourself a minority identity, and then give yourself a minority halo, and then use this as the background to shoot a film that reflects minorities or minority surnames. Maybe there is a little hope. After all, this is a popular theme for the Oscars in the past two years.

Or... ahem, just like what I told you before about "Daydreamer", add some things that the American mainstream wants to see in it, and in addition... ahem, boss, you have offended the Oscar jury. Those old men in the academy are very vengeful. They have reached a peak in terms of qualifications and experience. If they want to target you, with your current popularity and influence in the United States, you have no room for resistance."

Well,

Listening to Su Bona's fear that he was obviously afraid of the well rope for ten years after being bitten by a snake once, Li Youzhi touched his chin.

The two methods this guy mentioned are really similar to what I thought.

With my current conditions, there is really no hope for me to win an Oscar.

Without a united class and a unified goal, nothing can be done!

With a faint sigh, Li Youzhi looked at the comment section of the announcement on the Oscar official website.

"This guy named Li Youzhi is so funny, who does he think he is? As a director, most of the films he has made are commercial films, and there is not even a work that exposes social reality. Such a person is not worthy of being compared with the famous directors of our great South Korea. He also wants to win an Oscar? Go learn how to shoot a movie first!"

Looking at the comment of a Korean netizen, Li Youzhi hissed.

"Boss, boss?"

Just when Li Youzhi felt as if he had grasped something in the dark, Su Bona on the other end of the phone greeted him.

"Boss, I've basically finished my work here. I plan to buy a ticket to go back home after finishing the finishing work in three days. Do you have any other instructions?"

Faced with Su Bona's respectful application, Li Youzhi's brows, which had been frowning all night, slowly relaxed.

A bold plan has already taken shape in his heart...!

"Hahaha, Lao Su, you're not in such a hurry. Let me ask you, what is your nationality now?"

"Nationality?"

Don't know why Li Youzhi suddenly asked this, Su Bona wondered;

"Before, in order to facilitate the operation of Warner's international film and television copyrights, I got dual citizenship of the United Kingdom and the United States. What's wrong, boss?"

"What's your gender?"

"Me? Boss, it's obvious that I'm a man!"

"No, you can be not."

Li Youzhi completely denied Su Bona's affirmative answer.

"Old Su, you don't have to go back to China yet. Tomorrow you can change your gender to double surname, cross surname, queer, inter surname, no surname, or even other non-normative sexual orientations not mentioned above, or even Wal-Mart plastic bags!"

()

On the other end of the phone, after hearing Li Youzhi's arrangement, Su Bona's mentality... collapsed.

"My God! Boss, what do you want me to do? Although I know that I am not so upright, I have a clear understanding of gender. I am a man, a man, a man! Do you know what man is? Man!"

Beep!

Received Su Bona's additional [collapse] surprise value, 66 points!

Hearing a sharp system prompt sound beside his ear, Li Youzhi pinched his ears and ignored Su Bona's scream on the other end of the phone.

"Five hundred thousand dollars, after I complete the things I planned, I will give you five hundred thousand dollars for your hard work."

"Boss, Wal-Mart plastic bags are too niche. I think cross surname love queer is more suitable for me, what do you think?"

Hahaha,

Good boy!

Faced with Su Bona's cowardly attitude, Li Youzhi was quite satisfied.

"Then you can choose, and be quick. I'm useful."

"Um... Boss, can you tell me what you're going to do?"

"What?"

Li Youzhi raised his eyebrows.

"Of course... Unite the current version of the Supreme God in the United States and make an impact on the Oscar!"

Li Youzhi ignored this sentence and hung up the phone.

Afterwards, he opened the Word on his notebook and typed a big title - "Parasite"!

In Li Youzhi's impression, this film is the only Korean work that has won an Oscar, and it is a grand slam. It tells a story about a marginal family who pretended to be an identity, entered the upper class to parasitize, and ended up in tragedy.

Originally, this story took place in South Korea.

But now, Li Youzhi is going to change this story.

Isn't the Oscar jury targeting Zhige? They think that Zhige, a Chinese director and actor, is easy to control, and they can suppress Zhige with a casual call on global fans?

That's it.

Then let's use Zhige's best work to speak!

A Korean-American brother in a homosexual relationship, an LGBT sister, a drug-addicted father, a depressed mother, and a black couple living in the basement of a white American family...

Parasite's setting was moved from Korean society to American society, and the buffs of the T0 version were stacked up!

I want to see if you Oscars can take this punch!
