557: Excessive energy

The media was shocked. It was not a month before the global crazy volume of "Iron Man 2" had a billion-dollar box office, and the hot newbie started work quietly again.

A professional evaluation agency once speculated that "Iron Man 2" is actually very suitable for 3D. If it is released in 3D, its box office is likely to be more than this data.

As of the day, "Inception" led nearly 2.3 billion in the global box office rankings, and "Avatar" also exceeded 2.1 billion times. The box office data is slightly different from before the year. Some marginal areas are still being released one after another. In addition, the release of the extended version of "Avatar" is third. However, the film has been confirmed to be re-screened in 3D next year. This ranking may be rewritten. The fourth place is "Lord of the Rings 3: Invincible of the King" globally: 1.1191 billion. The fifth place is "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Cave", globally: 1.0662 billion.

The box office of "Toy Story 3" released this year also came to an end, with a global net of 1.0642 billion US dollars, ranking sixth, and the only film that surpassed "Iron Man 2" this year's 1.028 billion. "Star Wars Prequel 1: Wēixié", released in 1999, was second with a slight advantage of 1.027 billion...

Of course, these are all about excluding inflation factors, otherwise the most popular movies would be unique to "Titanic", after all, the money at that time was too valuable.

People witnessed the birth of the seventh place in the world in total box office, and the "Iron Man" series of movies was also commented by media to surpass the "Batman" series and become the most popular superhero film. At this moment, they suddenly learned that Li Donglai abandoned commercial blockbusters and turned to art and biographical movies. It would be strange if he was not shocked.

Is Li tired of commercial films? Fans are a little sad. They are still counting on Li Neng to take over "Iron Man 3". What should I do if I am tired of it now?

The New York Times made an analysis that big-name directors love biographical adaptations. Christopher Nolan also announced that after filming "Batman", the movie he wants to shoot most is Howard Hughes's biography. The great director Darren Aronovsky and Paramount Films have also reached an agreement long ago, and it is expected to shoot a biographical film based on the life of the United States' first president in the next few years.

Now Li Donglai also has to follow the footsteps. He doesn't shoot commercial blockbusters such as science fiction and heroes, but instead selects a biopic from the complete script.

"God, is Hollywood commercial blockbusters going to enter a bleak period?"

Fortunately, there is a commercial director Michael Bay who is keen on shooting explosion scenes. His "Transformers 3" will be released next year.

But in fact, next year's dazzling commercial blockbusters, in addition to the last Harry series "Harry Potter 7", "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" and "Twilight 4", are looking forward to being unreasonable. Otherwise, wouldn't movie fans go to see Uncle Tang's old body and continue to stage the difficult "Mission Impossible 4"? Of course, people don't know that "Mission Impossible 4" will save the youth of this series of movies.

OK, get back to the point.

There are indeed some biographical movies based on the president of the famous social networking website "Facebook". His entrepreneurial story is well known after those sensational lawsuits. Of course, there is also his explosive accumulation of property.

In "Social Website", Li Donglai will also serve as producer, director and screenwriter. But the media is a little strange. "Social Website" has just started filming. Phantom and Colombia actually announced that he will be released during this Christmas schedule.

The movie did not make any publicity at all, so the media is very interested in the composition of the movie at this moment. The film brings together Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and the popularity king Justin Timberlake. Jia Tianwang tried the movie again, and this time he collaborated with Li Donglai, which made his fans look forward to it.

Wait, there is also a heroine with a Chinese character, who is a Chinese. Sorry, I have never heard of her name before?!

"Yes, this is a Chinese actress."

Columbia's Minister of Publicity, Mikecoen, said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times: "We could have replaced this role with an American actor, after all, they have some local advantages. But... you know, Lee insists on using Chinese actors and is a little stubborn. Of course, perhaps these stubbornness are the key factors that drive him success. Sometimes we even speculate in private that maybe it is Zuckerberg who attracts Lee to take on the movie but his Chinese girlfriend. But hell, Zuckerberg is not married yet, and no one knows what will happen in the future. Using Zach's girlfriend as the heroine of the movie is a bold idea, because we have to risk receiving the news of Zach's breakup shortly after it was released...god, that's terrible."

As soon as this report was released, many media immediately began to argue about the negative.

The New York Times reported that Li Donglai, who started out as a science fiction movie and made his fortune with commercial blockbusters, overestimated himself, abandoned his specialty commercial and comedy films, and took over a biographical film to make art films. He also stubbornly adopted Chinese actresses as the heroines, which may make the movie the biggest joke in Hollywood.

The whole world knows that the divorce rate in the United States has exceeded 50%, and single mothers have become a common phenomenon.

Although the divorce rate among Asian and Chinese American communities is the lowest among all ethnic groups due to cultural traditions and family values, the proportion of young girls who are pregnant before marriage is the lowest among all ethnic groups. Therefore, the proportion of single mothers among Chinese and Chinese American families is relatively small.

But it is very common to fall in love many times in this country. Zuckerberg is a rich man. Maybe he can't stand the test of love and was hooked away before the movie was released. Then the movie can be declared failure in advance.

According to an interview with our reporter, Zuckerberg had not started dating Priscilla Chen when he was in school. I don’t know how this heroine will become the “protagonist”?!

The editor-in-chief of Yahoo Entertainment's entertainment version commented in the report: "This seems surprising, but to be honest, I had expected this a long time ago. After experiencing the success of "Iron Man 2", Li Donglai will definitely not be able to accept the status quo. Especially this popcorn movie will not allow him to win the Golden Globe Award next year and the Oscars, he will definitely seek breakthroughs to prove his super-age directing ability."

"He wants to prove that he can not only make shocking science fiction movies, attractive hero movies, laughable comedy movies, but also make serious biographical movies. This is an ambitious young man."

But can Li Donglai be good at filming? With his girlfriend as the protagonist, this character has very few characters in his biographical novels. Will it ruin the entire movie? After all, what attracts Zuckerberg is his entrepreneurial journey and his wealth of 30 billion to 50 billion yuan.

Will "Social Website" become a love biography movie?

This time, the media did not make any predictions, but only expressed some expectations, and at the same time implied that "this subject is difficult". It implied that Li Donglai might have a Waterloo. "Social Network" will become the first failed work in his life.

Fans and fans on the Internet can speak freely. They have viciously criticized Li Donglai for filming "Social Website". But this time, the more die-hard fans seem to have increased a lot. This group of people are very excited and expectant. The higher the difficulty, the better. This is the only way to be realistic and conform to Li Donglai's style, right?

"The energetic Li Donglai!"

This is the report of USA Today: "The screening of "Iron Man 2" has just begun, and Li Donglai is about to shoot the next movie. He continues his workaholic traits as always, and the production speed is surprising. This time, he shouted a declaration of seizing the Christmas season before filming started. Maybe he was confident enough to dare to boast. I think it is no longer important to discuss whether he has a fever in his head, but it is confirmed that he is constantly sending Chinese actors to Hollywood. He is Tongguo's efforts to make more Chinese faces appear in Hollywood. As you can see, most Chinese Americans regard him as a hero, and what he does makes Chinese Americans proud. Many years ago, when Bruce Lee became famous in Hollywood, people would say Chinese Kung Fu when they saw Chinese. In recent years, people stopped saying that, but now, they talk about this word again..."

The outside storm is much more violent than imagined. Every day, paparazzi wander around Harvard, looking for the crew's next shooting location.

And Ab, who was pushed to the forefront, really felt terrifying this time. She became famous overnight, and many media were chasing her, not only the mainland Chinese media, Hong Kong media, South Korean media, but also the Hollywood media.

She didn't know what domestic media would do to report, but she could guess. Just like in the past, every time Li Donglai made a big move, she covered the whole world. But this time, she took a sailboat.

Ab did experience the feeling of being paid attention to at high density, and she was under great pressure because of this, and she felt a little overwhelmed.

The movie is being filmed at Harvard University.

Feeling from the heroine storm, Li Donglai accepted an interview with Harvard School News during his rest period, and revealed in the interview, "I met Zach before filming the movie. He loves to laugh now, and his smile often hangs on his face. I told him that biographical movies will be a little inconsistent with his current image, and I will not make him so great and attractive..."

"What did Mr. Zuckerberg react?"
