Chapter 287. [Super Idol](2/2)
He won the Special Achievement Award at France's Deauville Film Festival. He was also selected as one of the seven "Celebrity Heroes of the Earth" by Time magazine in the United States. It can be said that his popularity is booming.
Finally, Yi Feiyang directly told Li Bian the fifth reason, "I like him!"
Li Bian was speechless. He didn't expect Yi Feiyang to be able to give so many reasons in one go. But if he thought about it carefully, it really made sense. After all, this Chinese-language film was going to test the waters of Hollywood, so it seemed safer to choose Zhou Runfa.
.
As for the choice of the heroine, Yi Feiyang will no longer interfere. As for who Li Bian finally decides to choose, let fate decide.
Regarding the shooting location, director Li Bian means to go back to Baodao TW to shoot. The scenery there is beautiful and the shooting will be beautiful.
Yi Feiyang thought for a while and didn't directly say where you should go to shoot. He just said that there is a bamboo forest battle in the script that must be paid attention to. It is best to learn from the scene in the old Hong Kong Shaw Brothers movie "The Heroine" to make the shooting more realistic and delicate.
.
Who is Li Yin? After being prompted by Yi Feiyang, he understood some of his meaning.
To be realistic and delicate, the characters and scenes must be integrated into one. So where can a scene like a landscape and bamboo forest appear? So, Li Bian found a map of China and started looking for his own shooting location...
In fact, Yi Feiyang knows very well that the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" largely depends on the beautiful scenery of the filming location.
Movies generally do not shoot in just one location. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is said to have been filmed in many places.
For example, in the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", is there a scene where the male and female heroes are flying around among a patch of green bamboo, or standing motionless on the top of the bamboo? After the film won the award, someone asked director Li Bian: "What's the point of this film?"
Where does the magnificent picture of thousands of acres of green bamboo, lakes and mountains come from?" The answer is: "It comes from the Shunan Bamboo Sea in southern Sichuan."
In addition, the fight in the bamboo forest filmed in the Bamboo Sea and the fight on the lake filmed in the Emerald Valley were all edited together from the movie. This effect also conquered many Oscar judges and brought opportunities to the local tourism industry.
No matter what, Yi Feiyang believes that a director like Li Yin, who strives for excellence in filming, can create more mature and perfect works with just a little guidance from himself.
As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when happy events occur.
In addition to successfully recruiting the great director Li Bian to work on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", what makes Yi Feiyang the most happy at present is that the 1 million US dollars he had previously bet on the Oscar peripheral gambling game turned into 30 million US dollars in the blink of an eye!
In addition, there are rumors that gambling king Kerkorian seems to have "failed his investment" and is studying whether to sell MGM Films completely... For Yi Feiyang, if this news is really correct, then there is no doubt that he can acquire MGM.
GM will take Fantasy Entertainment to the next level.
Of course, these are still "rumors", and until MGM makes an official announcement, everything is still unknown.
…
The time soon came to June 13, 2001.
According to the audition regulations of "The Hunger Games", the winner of the finals will join Fantasy Entertainment, become the spokesperson of the game, and start filming the movie of the same name directed by Yi Feiyang.

ABC claimed that the program was the most profitable television program in its history, with total revenue of US$1 billion! However, ABC relied too much on this program and invested a lot of manpower and material resources instead of focusing on developing new program formats. In 2001, ABC
The program was broadcast for four hours every week, and eventually the audience became tired of watching it and lost their appetite. ABC's ratings also dropped to fourth place, and in the same year it suffered a financial loss of US$360 million.
Subsequently, in 2000, "Survivor" launched by CBS set a new high in ratings for summer programs in the United States. It not only defeated ABC's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", but also set a new record for CBS in this time period in 13 years.

But now the emergence of the "Hunger Games" reality show has taken the reality show to a higher level, directly reaching the top!
Just imagine. There are 40 contestants from four major cities in the United States, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Then, these 40 people are trained intensively, and everything is changed into a live TV reality show, and then they are constantly PKed and eliminated.
Finally, on TV, through the votes of viewers across the United States, the real leading actor was determined, giving him huge fame and the opportunity to star in a new movie. How could such a talent show not be popular?!

…
In Fantasy Entertainment Company, Yi Feiyang looked at the files of the four winners of the "Hunger Games" audition. Among them, the one that surprised Yi Feiyang the most was the current super idol and the overall champion of this event---Adam Brandt.
Looking at the sunny and handsome boy in the photo, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but feel that he looked familiar. If the talent was good, wasn't this the young singer who almost won the American Idol championship in his previous life?
Yi Feiyang remembers clearly that this Adam Bratt lost the championship title in the end due to voting and sexual orientation issues, but he also became the most controversial superstar in the history of the show. China also invited him to give a solo concert, which gained momentum.
Haoda. In addition, the most talked about thing is that this guy is also a very trendy and bold "out" man.
Seeing Yi Feiyang staring at the file in silence, Dures, who has been responsible for planning and promoting this event, couldn't help but said: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"Oh no, I just think this young man is quite sunny. Well, he looks a bit like Elvis Presley, doesn't he?"
Dures glanced at the file and said, "Not to mention, it looks a bit like a celebrity."
"Okay then, make an appointment with him to meet me before we officially sign the contract..." Yi Feiyang said as he threw the file away.
"Meet you?" Dures was stunned for a moment. You must know that Yi Feiyang is not an ordinary person now. Work like this can be directly handed over to his subordinates. It is nothing more than doing the other party's ideological work, so as not to worry about signing the contract.
time to cause unnecessary trouble.
Once, the ABC TV station in the United States signed a contract with a talent show artist. There was not much communication before, which caused a big fuss at the venue when the signing was signed. What was originally a happy event turned into a scandal. Fantasy Entertainment will never let such a thing happen to itself.
No matter what, since Yi Feiyang wanted to see this lucky guy from the draft in person, Dures still ordered people to go down and do it.
