The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 36 Cheers
Tonight Yanjing is much more lively than in the past. At a supper stall next to Yanjing Film Academy, the owner is busy running around without touching the ground.

A group of young people sat around a large round table in the corner.

This group of young people was Li Shengyao and the others.

He just received a call from Gusu Satellite TV, telling him that the ratings of the first two episodes broke two.

This is just the beginning, and the follow-up ratings will inevitably continue to rise, three points, four points are possible.

At this time, ordinary people have nothing to do after get off work, and most people go home to watch TV.

Good dramas don't have to worry about ratings.

For example, the average ratings of "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" are as high as 15.00%.

Lee Sing Yew didn't expect "Love Hotel" to have 15.00%, Gusu TV is a second-rate local TV.

If the ratings can reach three points, it is considered a success.

He then called Guo Xiaodong and several people to come out to celebrate.

So the group of them came to the supper stand outside Yanjing Film Academy.

Zhao Yang, Guo Xiaodong, Liu Xiaoqing, Yan Danchen, He Lin, and Zu Feng all came over.

Guo Xiaodong also said that some students wanted to come and asked Li Shengyao if he would let him.

Li Shengyao refused.

In Guo Xiaodong's class, apart from the Three Musketeers of Nortel, Yan Danchen, Guo Xiaodong, and Zu Feng are okay, they can play the leading role. In fact, the others don't have the face of the leading role, at most they can play supporting roles.

Even if you play the leading role, you can't afford the drama.

So they, a group of people who had met before, got together.

"Come on, cheers."

Accompanied by the sound of clinking wine glasses, except for Li Shengyao drinking tea, everyone else was drinking. The big guys were not surprised, and no one said anything about him.

Zhao Yang is in the best mood. He lives at home these days, and his relationship with his family has eased a lot.

And tonight his family watched "Love Hotel", although they didn't praise him face to face, both parents had smiles on their faces.

"Director, let me say a few heartfelt words. I must thank you. Without you, I would still be in a daze in a rented room in Shanghai."

"In the future for your drama, as long as you say a word, I will definitely come over."

Li Shengyao nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Zhao Yang then picked up the wine glass, poured himself three glasses of wine in a row, and drank them all.

Guo Xiaodong shouted, "Okay, happy."

Then Guo Xiaodong, Yan Danchen, and Liu Xiaoqing raised their glasses to thank Li Shengyao in turn.

They all said that in the future Lee Seung Yew has orders, and he will definitely do it.

Zu Feng on the other side saw it, and was envious in his heart. After everyone finished toasting, he came to Li Shengyao, "Director, I'm a stupid person. I didn't have vision before, but I will follow you in the future. Your company has been established. I'll follow you."

He was a little hesitant before, worried that even if "Love Hotel" was of good quality, it might not be popular, but now it seems that it is obviously not the case.

He is well aware of how difficult it is for a second-rate satellite TV like Gusu Satellite TV to break the second rating, and it may be even higher in the future.

Lee Sheng Yew will not worry about investment for at least the next two or three dramas.

If the following dramas can still have the level of "Love Hotel", it will definitely be popular.

Li Shengyao nodded, patted Zu Feng on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "In two months, I'll give you the script, it's the male number two, take care of it."

In fact, his script has already been written. During the filming of "Love Hotel", he has already completed the scripts of "Funny Family" and "Winter Sonata".

Zhao Yang and Yan Danchen have already got the script, but his film and television company has not yet been established, and Zu Feng has not yet signed the contract.

He couldn't believe it, and planned to wait for Zu Feng to sign the contract before giving him the script.

Hearing this, Zu Feng bent over excitedly, "Thank you director, thank you director."

He Lin was very envious, but she was not a fool, knowing that Li Shengyao was not interested in her, she didn't say much.

Guo Xiaodong asked: "Director, what should I do next?"

"You should play the youngest son of "Funny Family" first. After finishing this drama, I have a Criminal Investigation Bureau. I will give you the script when the time comes. Study it carefully. It will definitely become your masterpiece."

He planned to shoot "Signal" after "Winter Sonata".

As for "Stairway to Heaven" or idol dramas like "Full House", he probably won't make them in the future.

When the time comes, find a few reliable directors and let them shoot.

He wants to shoot some more difficult dramas, such as "Signal", such as "Dae Jang Geum", "Please Answer Series".

As a director, he cannot be stereotyped by idol dramas.

To make more and more compelling dramas.

When there are enough domestic theaters, he will enter the film industry and become a producer and director like Spielberg.

If there is enough money at that time, he will even establish his own theater chain, so that he does not need to worry about being choked.

As for Hollywood, Lee Sheng Yew never expected that the beautiful country would allow him to become a super director.

Those Chinese directors in Hollywood are all people who have fully integrated into the beautiful country.

It's impossible for him, his roots are in the mainland, not to mention naturalization, he is not uncommon to get a green card from a beautiful country.

Since the rise of Marvel movies in Hollywood, movies have become more and more ugly.

They procedurally make some superhero movies, and they look hilarious, but they don't actually tell the story at all.

This is why Hollywood movies couldn't be sold in China later.

He is confident that he will become a banner for the domestic film and television industry to fight against Hollywood in the future.

Of course, if Lee Sung Yew doesn't go to Hollywood to direct, he can still earn Hollywood money.

After filming "Funny Family", it will be Chinese New Year, and Lee Seung Yew should be able to rest for about a month.

He will go home when the time comes, and he will write the scripts of "Inception", "Interstellar", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Kung Fu Panda" and other classic movies that have not yet started shooting.

Then go to the beautiful country to join the Screenwriters Association and register the copyright.

In the future, no matter whether he shoots it himself or sells it to the Beautiful Country Film and Television Company, he can make a fortune.

We are all young people,
Two hours later, the crowd dispersed, Yan Danchen and He Lin drank a lot, and went back to He Lin's rented room to rest together.

Li Shengyao went back to the hotel alone. He had just entered the elevator when there was a sound of running high heels behind him.

A green figure rushed in.

"Hi Director Li, I'm a student of the 97th grade of Yanjing Film Academy, and my name is Hai Qing."

Li Shengyao looked Hai Qing up and down, the national daughter-in-law at this time was still a little immature, and her appearance was fair.

But Hai Qing is with him, just like Sun Li.

They are not his food, he has no interest.

"what's wrong?"

"I am a student majoring in acting. If there is a play, you can find me. I am cheap, and I can act and do anything."

At the end, her voice rose slightly.

Li Shengyao smiled, "Okay."

Hai Qing then left a phone call, waited for the elevator door to open, watched Li Shengyao go back to his room, and then left.

Li Shengyao returned to his room and took a shower. Just as he was about to go to bed, someone knocked on the door again. When he opened the door, he saw a big iconic mouth.

Another Nortel student, living next to Yanjing Film Academy is not a good thing.

If it was a girl with a big mouth like Penelope Cruz, he might really be willing to give it a try, but Yao Dazui just let it go.

"You're looking for the wrong one."

Li Shengyao then closed the door.

Fame is still not enough, all the women who come here are Yao Dazui and Hai Qing.

He shook his head, then turned off the light and went to sleep.

On Friday, Guo Xiaodong and Zhao Yang will go to Jinling to film a variety show to promote "Love Hotel".

He won't go there.

He can't earn a lot of money for the domestic broadcasting rights of "Love Hotel". He has to wait in Yanjing, and people from the peninsula and island countries come to talk to him about the broadcasting rights, which will make his net worth skyrocket.
