China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 147 Li Yu becomes popular! More fragrant than Shishi

After sending the person to Africa, Da Tiantian blinked her big eyes that were as bright as stars.

"Uncle, let's get Director Li directly. The company doesn't plan to sign other artists, but it can sign directors!"

Da Tiantian is over 16 years old.

Starlight’s plan for Da Tiantian was to first release a music EP, and then go to the other side of the ocean to plating gold in the United States.

Lu Zheng was very successful in doing business in the United States in his early years. Later, he sold some of his assets and returned to China to start a new business, successfully doubling his assets several times.

He has been in the United States for so many years and has some connections in the political and business circles there.

After Da Tiantian passed by, she was able to get a direct interview with the governor of Washington and became the designated spokesperson for cherries in the northwest of the United States.

With such a high starting point, she is above all domestic entertainment actresses, so her entry into the film industry will surely be smooth sailing.

The emergence of the talented director Li Yu slightly disrupted Da Tiantian's original plan.

Music EPs and gold plating in the United States still have to be done, but Li Yu's priority is already ahead of those Hong Kong and Taiwan directors when it comes to entering the film industry.

"Hancheng Strategy", which stars Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars, has been overtaken by "Those Years" in the mainland.

It shows that mainland movies are really on the rise, and Hong Kong and Taiwan are already a bit like the sunset. There is no need to be too superstitious about the myths of Hong Kong and Taiwan directors.

They just can't do it anymore, so they will go north to seek cooperation with the mainlanders.

"Tiantian, you are too simple and naive. It will be difficult for an established director to sign you.

Look at Huayi, how rapidly they have developed with Feng Xiaogang!

Director Li's film achievements are not as good as Feng Xiaogang's, but he is capital in his own right.

His Hualiu Company has been booming in the past two or three years, and every film and television drama it produces is a top quality. "

Lu Zheng looks at the problem more realistically.

Unless Li Yu is out of his mind, why would he work for others?

Thinking about it from his perspective, Lu Zheng thought that if he were put in Li Yu's position, he wouldn't be able to work for others.

The box office champion in the first half of 2005, a talented director, and the hope of mainland movies.

These titles given to Li Yu by the media may be a bit exaggerated, but they are definitely valuable.

"Those Years" has already made Li Yu famous in the film industry.

This is one of the few mainland directors after Feng Xiaogang who can make money making commercial films, which is incredible.

Lu Zheng speculates that industry giants such as China Film, Bona, Optical Fiber, and Huayi will all be eyeing Li Yu's second movie.

Before Li Yu went out on the street, as long as he dared to shoot, there would be no shortage of people to invest.

In situations like this, money can no longer completely solve the problem.

Because he is not the only one with money, and money can only solve part of the problem.

As Tiantian said, it is unrealistic to just spend money to win over Li Yu.

However, spending money allowed Li Yu to cooperate deeply with Starlight Company.

It is very possible to spend money to make Da Tiantian the heroine of Li Yu's future movies.

""Those Years" was a box office hit, and a mainland film became the box office champion in the first half of the year. China Film and Director Li will definitely hold a grand celebration party.

I'll say hello to your third uncle, and you can attend with me when the time comes. Let's get in touch with Director Li first. "

Lu Zheng instructed.

He has some unfinished business and can't get away for the time being.

But with Da Tiantian’s third uncle taking care of him, I don’t think there will be any trouble.

The sweet third uncle he mentioned was Han Sanping, the deputy director of China Film Group.

Of course they are not real relatives, they belong to the category of people with good family connections.

Da Tiantian nodded obediently twice. The elders in her family told her that Uncle Lu was trustworthy.

Her Uncle Lu's arrangement is definitely more reliable than the guy sent to Africa.

Things developed just as Lu Zheng said.

"Those Years" ended with a box office of more than 5300 million yuan, making it the well-deserved box office champion in the mainland in the first half of the year. The main reason was that Li Yu had read the answers and knew that masters would gather in the second half of the year, so he attacked decisively in the first half of the year and created a time difference.

In the second half of the year, the title of annual box office champion will be taken away by more than four movies, and "The Promise" will eventually become the winner.

But those are all things in the second half of the year. Li Yu was the most watched director in the first half of the year.

As a newcomer making a movie for the first time, it is already very good to achieve such results.

Now Li Yu was so proud that he got off the bus in front of a star hotel in Beijing.

Shi Shi held his hand, and the two walked on the red carpet, becoming the hero and heroine of the whole scene.

This large-scale celebration banquet was held for Li Yu.

Not only people from Hualiu Company and China Film Group were present at the celebration banquet, but also many celebrities in the industry were present.

Li Yu learned firsthand what it means to be successful and everyone around you is a good person.

"Director Li, I am the CEO of Huayi Media...our artist Fan Xiaopang has acted in your drama, which is "My Love from the Star"."

The person who came to greet me was Mr. Wang from Huayi.

As we all know, Huayi made its fortune by binding the great director Feng Xiaogang.

There is probably no company in the industry that values ​​directors more than they do.

Mr. Xiao Wang came to the celebration banquet of "Those Years" today. Needless to say, he naturally came for Li Yu.

If we can win over Li Yu, or we can reach some kind of strategic alliance with Li Yu.

With two mainland directors who have proven themselves in commercial films, Huayi is well on its way to becoming the number one media company in the country.

"Mr. Wang..."

Although Li Yu doesn't like Huayi very much, he is not stupid. There is no need to make enemies on all sides if there is no conflict of interest.

There is a saying that reaches out and does not hit the smiling person.

"Director Li, you are really amazing! You achieved such excellent results in your first movie."

The person who spoke called himself Bona's vice president. Needless to say, he was another man who came because of Li Yu.

Bona later produced many excellent works.

"Director Li..."

This person is from fiber optics and is also a vice president.

Unknowingly, Li Yu has become a favorite in the eyes of the big guys in the industry.

Shi Shi, who was dressed up for the occasion, stood aside and became the backdrop.

A bunch of big men were surrounding Li Yu, but no one even looked at her.

This is the invisible wall between the director and the actors.

No matter how awesome an actor is, he is still just an actor.

The status of a director is one level higher than that of an actor. Directors who have proven themselves belong to the top of the pyramid may be affected by capital, but the director himself has a great say.

For example, Huayi's Feng Xiaogang later went to film "1942".

Although the box office performance of "2012" was not bad, with more than million, that was in .

That year, the box office of "囧囧" was 1.2 billion, and the box office of "Zodiac" was close to 900 million.

"1942", which boasted an investment of more than 200 million, only had a box office of 300 million, and it all went to my grandma's house.

Don’t Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang know that Feng Xiaogang’s comedies are more popular with the audience?
  It's just that Feng Xiaogang had already become famous, so he wanted to do something else. Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang couldn't defeat him, so they had to invest money in him.

This is the autonomy of a great director.

Li Yu currently only has one film, "Those Years", and his status in the world is incomparable to that of Director Feng.

If Li Yu held up a script tomorrow and said he wanted to make a film similar to "1942" and wanted to attract investment, most people would probably wait and see.

But if what Li Yu holds up is a script for a commercial film, especially a youth-themed commercial film that has already achieved success, he will definitely be showered with money.

While everyone was chatting, Director Han walked into everyone's sight with a sweet and cute little girl...
