673. Chapter 673 The 673rd event in Cambridge

As soon as he left the door, Li Canon, who had been holding it in for a long time, raised his foot and kicked the wall hard. He couldn't help but get angry and cursed: "Hardie, an immortal idiot!!"

"Shut up, do you think you didn't cause enough trouble today?" Kolk Cokerian said coldly at him.

"Keck~~You promised that MGM... MGM... is mine~~ it's mine~~! But now there is nothing~!! Hardy's old fool just let Li Xiaole hit us! He just wanted to drive us out~~!" Li Canon said later, his voice was crying. For more than so many years, he bowed his head and bowed for so many years, and finally wanted to control the overall situation by himself, suddenly Li Xiaole came out, which ruined his efforts for more than ten years! How could he not be angry?

"You are a real idiot..." Kolk Coker shook his head in disappointment: "Do you think Hardy is as stupid as you? He can't even think of what you think of? Hardy can even sort out DreamWorks. Not to mention this little black pearl, with his methods, he must have prepared everything long ago. Didn't you notice it? I just reminded him that Li Xiaole's future harm to Hollywood is definitely not an exaggeration, but he didn't even frown. That's right, we don't have to worry about Li Xiaole."

"What if Li Xiaole is worried about becoming an American citizen? Then we can't get anything," Li Canon gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"If Li Xiaole bows his head so easily, he still needs to wait until today? With his talent, he will stay in your little MGM? You see, people have to be more brain-like. How did I teach you before?" Looking at Li Canon, who was out of control, Kolk Cockerian became more and more disappointed. He didn't understand why the calm and smart son-in-law, who had been a calm and smart son-in-law, has become a different person recently.

He didn't understand the huge gap in Li Canon's heart. At that time, Li Canon himself recruited Li Xiaole to MGM. Unexpectedly, he originally wanted to make a comeback from this nouveau riche from China, but now it would have a devastating blow to his lifelong career...

During the period from June 7 to June 14, in this fierce box office war in the summer season with blockbusters, "The Hulk" did not show a huge decline after the first week as people expected, and still achieved a good result of 73.81 million. Judging from this trend, the North American market has no problem breaking through 200 million, and the global box office is very likely to exceed 400 million US dollars. Although this result cannot keep up with "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" with a global box office of nearly 600 million and "Spider-Man 3", which has just broken through the global $700 million mark, compared with other movies, they have left them far behind.

You know, this is the result of Black Pearl Company's release channel in North America after only one-fourth of North America. If Black Pearl Company has the same distribution capabilities as the six majors, what will happen? Will "The Hulk" surpass "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" with a box office of one billion yuan?

Black Pearl's competitors were a little scared just by imagining this scene. A year ago, Black Pearl Company was just a small company that no one could respect. In a blink of an eye, when everyone began to pay attention to it, they turned their heads and found that it had become a real behemoth. Even the DreamWorks of that year did not give people this irresistible feeling.

As the helm of this uplifting film and television company, Li Xiaole did not feel the smoke of the North American film battlefield at the moment, but came to the famous Cambridge University in order to participate in an academic activity.

Although it is still summer vacation, St. Catherine's College is particularly lively. Many students and young people in Cambridgeshire have flocked in. The security guards are also closely guarding the school gates, blocking a large number of young movie fans and media reporters. St. Catherine's College is full of beautiful and quaint Victorian buildings, clean roads and green trees. It is not only a theater arts college, but also a British town with beautiful scenery.

On the way to the campus of the main teaching building, Li Xiaole was surrounded by a large group of people, surrounded by temporary bodyguards surrounded by actors from the Drama Council. The middle-aged white man in front of him was Winston, the vice president of the Academy of Drama Arts. Along the way, he guided the surroundings and introduced the history of the college.

This is Li Xiaole's second time to give a speech at university. The last time was at Beijing Film Academy, and the scene seemed to be vivid in my mind, but in a blink of an eye, he arrived in Cambridge again. This wonderful feeling of jumping time and space made Li Xiaole float in the air. If it weren't for the loud voices of the British students screaming around him, he would probably have savored this beautiful feeling for a long time.

It turned out that in his imagination, a world-class school like Cambridge should have a rigorous school spirit and British students are serious. In fact, the British are indeed as indifferent as the rumors, but they never expected that today would be such a lively situation.

At that time, the school originally arranged for him to take a straight route from the back door and go directly to the teaching building for the speech, but Li Xiaole had the mentality of going to Kanghe to take a look since he came to Cambridge. He wanted to climb the "Kangqiao" and feel the freehand mood of the great poet Xu Zhimo.

"I left gently, just as I came gently, I waved my hand gently, saying goodbye to the clouds in the west, the golden willows by the river are the bride in the sunset, the waves are always bright, rippling in my heart~ The green water on the soft mud, the oil sways under the water..."

What a beautiful picture. Before coming, he had fantasized about enjoying this poetic and picturesque British elegance on Cambridge countless times. Unexpectedly, when he stood on the "Camqiao" today, he only saw a dark person. He waved his hand gently, and a dark person screamed at him... There was no trace of Xu Zhimo's elegant feelings back then.

As soon as he stopped on the Cambridge, he discovered a serious problem. Their group was blocked by enthusiastic student fans on the front and back of the bridge.

"Li~~ Can you sign me?~I have loved you for many years. I liked you when you filmed "Life Remote Control" in 2003~~" "Li~~Please take a photo with me~I am the president of the Li Xiaole Film Fan Club in Cambridgeshire~~"

Hundreds of enthusiastic British students, holding signature books, mobile phones and cameras, handed them over to this side. Li Xiaole had no choice but to be helpless. Most of these students who couldn't even understand his movies for several years were involved in the fun, but they could only squeeze out a smile at themselves, such as British fans, which triggered the girls' screams.

In the recent issue of the Daily Telegraph, he overwhelmed Pierce Brosnan and became the second place after star Beckham, which made Li Xiaole laugh and cry.

The female movie fans' comments on him were: "It's so cute and so talented that people want to pinch it on his face, and the market will be fascinated by his amazing talent."

Faced with the enthusiasm of the students, Li Xiaole, who was trapped in the center of the bridge, could only wait for the security guard to negotiate with the students, leaning against the bridge pier, staring at the ripples of the Jian River in a daze...

In fact, when he received this event, Li Xiaole was experiencing a very tangled thing. He was preparing everything about the new Oscar film "The Millionaire in the Slums". In the past month, the actors have signed the contract, the crew has almost been formed, and even rented the venue, but he still felt that it was a little bit worse.

To be honest, he has always been very keen on public aesthetics, but what he is not sure about now is the taste of Oscar judges. These judges sometimes award them to commercial blockbusters like "Titanic", and sometimes give them niche themes like "The Godfather". The context of these stories and characters are very different, making him unable to grasp the accurate context.

The source of his confidence in winning the Oscar is that the film "The Millionaire in the Slums" that is now planned has won 8 great works in history, including Best Director and Best Picture, and is one of several Oscars that he can fully understand the story.

On the surface, this movie describes the lucky story of an Indian teenager who won the lottery, but in fact, this story tells the fate of everyone.

Everyone is like a millionaire living in a slum in life. Everyone has learned and felt many unique skills and experiences in seemingly ordinary days. As long as you live every day with your heart, there will always be a chance in life that will appear in front of you. At that time, each of us is like an Indian boy standing on the answering table, who needs to constantly answer difficult questions and get the final bonus.

We who live in a "slum" have been preparing for this day to get "million dollars". If we abandon every day that seems to be "useless", we will miss the best opportunity in our lives. Only those who experience life with their heart will get the final "million dollars". This is the true meaning of life.

Yes, he had completely grasped everything he wanted to tell this story, but he always felt that there was something wrong with it. The original director Danny Boyle filmed very well, and he had no room for improvement at all. And when he faced this huge human core story, he felt that he could not break through the original for the first time.

A few years ago, he naively thought that the so-called "film art" was easy to shoot, which was to tell the story well, express people's emotions, and use his own emotions to resonate with the audience, just like he did when filming "Sex is Empty". As for the award-winning films such as Cannes, Venice, and Berlin Film Festivals.

The only difference from the movies that the general public likes is that it is just the difference between the literary and artistic themes that niche movie elites like. To put it bluntly, it is just the whining of senior intellectuals who complain without any illness.
