love is deeper than the sea

Ricardo: "Ha, there is a barbecue tonight!"

Li An: "..."

In midsummer, the post-production of the film was completed and it was fully launched.Surprisingly, Ricardo's works this time have changed his style, and the shooting techniques he used are quite different from those in the past.But what remains constant is the ups and downs of the box office.

The film was released for two weeks and received rave reviews.

Although in an interview with the media, Ricardo repeatedly emphasized that the connotation of this movie needs time to be tempered, and it will take a while for everyone to understand the true meaning.However, the major newspapers still decided to describe the young director as "exhausted", and gave him the title of "box office poison".

This title is not groundless, because after "Wolfpack", Ricardo has cast many films with different styles, all of which have sunk under the impact of the market tide.

Finally one day, Ricardo went around asking for sponsors to shoot a new film, but found that no one was willing to inject money into his filming.

They told him coldly that his film would never make any money, and no one would give him any more money.Ricardo had to pay out of his own pocket to make several big-budget films.

One year later, on the eve of his 31st birthday, Ricardo finally lost all the tens of millions of dollars he had earned before.

The outside world agreed that Ricardo was miserable this time. He lost his money and reputation. If he had known this, he might as well have gone to the United States to work with his father.

But who would have thought that at this time of desperation, a huge amount of money from overseas miraculously brought Ricardo back to life, and he re-raised the crew for filming.And Ricardo probably really has been the young master for a long time, and he still doesn't shy away from spending other people's money.

Although it is believed that the huge sum of money came from director Li Zhongnan, Ricardo's father, only Ricardo knows who is behind the scenes.

He called Li An overseas: "Master, thank you."

Li An: "No need. This is the money you deserve."

Ricardo: "Hey, seven hundred in the past, now 7000 million, my net worth is climbing like a rocket."

Li An: "Jiatu, now you are a director, which is different from the past. Focus on what you focus on, and I will take care of other things."

Ricardo said softly, "Understood, Master."

It was because of this huge sum of money from overseas that Ricardo made the second film "Jiang Hu" in his career, which was well-received.The box office was amazing, and Ricardo's career was brought back from the brink of collapse.

At the age of 32, Ricardo's career as a director is still ups and downs.Although there are excellent works shot from time to time, there are also many works that have been coldly received by the audience, and lost all their money.If it weren't for Ricardo's solid background, ordinary people would really not be able to afford it.

This year, his new work "Doomsday Dynasty" sparked a trend in Southeast Asia.The film entered the best foreign language film screening unit of the Cannes Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival in one fell swoop. At the film festival that year, Ricardo attended the awards ceremony together with the main creators of the film. His enthusiasm for film creation and compelling talent made everyone unforgettable. Appreciated by people in European and American film circles.According to rumors, Ricardo is expected to enter Hollywood in the United States in his [-]s, bringing fresh and mysterious East Asian movies to American audiences.

Some media reviewed the four years after Ricardo filmed "Wolves", covering a wide range of film themes and producing a large number of films, making him the number one Chinese director.Despite his unstable performance, his films often pretend to be dark horses and enter major film festivals with good results.

Compared with other Chinese directors with a professional background, Ricardo is more daring to shoot and has the courage to try. His unique directing style and unruly vision for film selection have brought a fresh and hearty wind to the Chinese film industry. The media's evaluation of him has gradually changed from a playboy in the past to a young and promising young director.

What's even more rare is that since the rumors of breaking up with Chen Shaohao came out, Ricardo lived in seclusion behind the scenes, and there were no more scandals. It can be said that he kept himself clean.Although his appearance, career, and net worth make female stars flock to him, this young man from a family of directors seems to have made up his mind to completely hide his private life, and only speak with his works and show others with his achievements.

However, according to Ricardo’s personal assistant, although Ricardo currently lives alone, he must make several hours of phone calls every night to a “best friend.” They talk about everything from work to life, and their words are intimate. Laughing, this can't help but make people think that Ricardo's other half has already been settled?

At the age of 33, Ricardo, who has passed his thirties, still works enthusiastically on the set like a fledgling newcomer in the film industry.His passion infected everyone.This year, he boldly used the script of "rival in love" Zuo Lengchan to create the first epic blockbuster in the Chinese film industry "Blood for an Alliance" with the specifications of a Hollywood blockbuster.

In the Chinese film industry that has been at a low ebb for many years, once this film comes out, it is like a sword drawn out of its sheath, and no one dares to compete with it!

It is said that in order to make this film, Ricardo risked his entire fortune to mortgage his shares in independent films, all real estate under his name, and an astonishing amount of private funds. He personally invited the well-known No. [-] martial artist in the industry to design fighting moves for the actors. , and bought thousands of good horses in his own name, in order to make the movie scenes shocking and realistic.

In addition to excellence in actors, actions, and props, Ricardo's revision of the script has reached an astonishing level.He and Zuo Lengchan spent a whole year constantly improving the script. Every detail has gone through layers of research, and they have visited celebrities and masters in order to enhance the deep meaning of the film.In order to better understand the story and shoot the story, Ricardo even set aside a month to meditate behind closed doors on the top of Kunlun Mountain, meditating and cultivating his body.

After a whole year of filming, "Blood for an Alliance" is finally released in China!

In the week of its release, it beat Hollywood films of the same period in one fell swoop, and was firmly seated at the box office champion.Its box office reputation has been growing all the way, and after three weeks of rising, it still does not show signs of decline, which is called a miracle by the industry.So far, Ricardo has finally swept away the doubts of the outside world for many years, and has become a young director who is very popular with the audience.

In this year, Ricardo brought Chinese-language blockbusters to major film festivals around the world, setting off a frenzy of Chinese culture.That year, Ricardo won the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards for Best Film.In March of the following year, "Blood for an Alliance" won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival and won unanimous praise from overseas audiences.Ricardo himself also won the prestigious trophy of Best Director Award at the Berlin Film Festival, giving him the most perfect gift at the age of 35.

However, Ricardo, who had gained so many honors, was not satisfied.He uttered bold words in front of the media that he would hit the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film with "Blood for Allies" and fight for a place in the global film circle for Chinese films!This kind of rhetoric can be described as shocking, and if other directors said it, they would probably be ridiculed, but Ricardo’s own ups and downs and legendary experience make this vow sound like a hero!

Many Chinese movie fans were infected by the courage and momentum of this young director, and their passion was ignited by Ricardo's boldness!Young movie fans expressed their opinions and cheered for Ricardo. They declared that young Chinese directors must have the courage of Ricardo!As long as you dare to think and do it, your dream will become a reality one day!

Of course, with the support and appreciation of some movie fans, most of the voices from the industry are questioning and ridiculing.Many people say that Ricardo is a fledgling who is not afraid of tigers and only speaks words.There are also many people who say that Ricardo's "Blood for an Alliance" is not as perfect as the audience imagined. There are many mistakes and omissions, the plot arrangement is unreasonable, and the characters are not expressive enough. Such a work can only be popular for a while and be rated as an Oscar. The chances of winning the Best Foreign Language Film award are slim.

Both insiders and ordinary audiences in the Chinese-speaking film industry have been talking about Ricardo's rhetoric for a while. From the perspective of launching a publicity offensive, Ricardo has succeeded!

Facing all kinds of negative comments, Ricardo is no longer as wavering as in the past.After years of experience, he understood a truth in his heart.

As Stephen King, a master of American literature, said: "Almost every novel writer or poet who has only published a line has been accused of wasting his or her God-given talent. If you create a work, There's always going to be someone who wants you to feel bad about yourself, that's all."

If he is true to these gossips, he loses.Instead of worrying about gains and losses for other people's evaluations, it is better to devote more time and energy to your own works. This is the most real achievement.

Throughout the seven years, fame and popularity are like floating clouds that gather and disperse from time to time, never fixed.

When the heat cools down, the clouds that once seemed so beautiful are gone, and only works can prove his hard work and blood and sweat, show his talent and soul, and record his golden years of striving for movies!

Many years later, when Ricardo looked back on the past, he said categorically that he had dedicated the best years of his life, the most splendid youth, to the film industry he loves in his heart!

122、Surprise!!!

However, Ricardo was only 35 years old at the time, and he was still working hard for the first most important award in his life.

He went to major film festivals non-stop, promoted his works eloquently, and even spent huge sums of money to buy the advertising space in Times Square and put up movie posters to attract the attention of the public.

The experience of studying abroad makes Ricardo's approach different from that of many Chinese directors. He knows that the traditional approach of drinking wine without fear of deep alleys is no longer feasible in today's world.

Only good works coupled with good marketing can make an impact on the Oscars.
