China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 203 The first domestic film director

"Director Li, what do you think of him? His image should be enough to play a general-like role in "Guandu", right?"

Mr. Cai was entrusted by others, and it would be difficult to explain to others if he didn't help and ask questions.

Li Yu was silent for a moment and replied: "I can't afford it."

Mr. Cai was just entrusted by someone to ask Li Yu. She could just give him an explanation as to whether it was successful or not.

Even if it works, she won't get much benefit.

So regarding Li Yu's rejection, she felt nothing in her heart: "Director Li, can you give me a reason so that I can respond to him?"

"Because he worked too hard." Li Yu replied.

Mr. Cai: "..."

Is this also a reason?
Mr. Cai didn't dare to ask more questions, and she didn't want to ask more questions. Anyway, she had successfully completed the tasks that others had asked her to do.

Boss Cao's soldiers could not attack Wuchao Camp, and the torches thrown in could not burn the food deep in the camp.

In the movie "Guandu", one of the most climactic scenes is Cao Cao's night attack on Wuchao, so Chunyu Qiong had to be filmed in the official history.

The first one, Ding Haifeng, this name may seem a bit unfamiliar to everyone.

For a film and television drama as long as "The Three Kingdoms", there is really no need to put a lot of effort into a general who only has a few seconds of footage.

In the days that followed, Li Yu selected a group of actors who he thought had good image and acting skills from those who signed up for the audition.

"Guandu" is different. In the three hours of the first and second movies, many of the supporting generals who were briefly mentioned in "The Three Kingdoms" have scenes, and they are very important scenes.

Many generals in "The Three Kingdoms" are minor roles and don't have many roles.

Therefore, the selection of actors for generals must be done carefully.

At that time, Mr. Cai could see that Li Yu was not willing to deal with Peng Yiyan.

At that time, the filming of "Sword and Fairy" was coming to an end, and Li Yu visited the crew in order to cooperate with her marketing.

But when it comes to Wu Song and Zhao Donglai in the 97 version of "Water Margin", I believe many people will think of his face.

The third place is Duan Yihong, whose later masterpiece "The Blizzard is Coming".

Although she didn't know why Li Yu was prejudiced against Peng Yiyan, she knew very well that it was best not to say anything about things she shouldn't ask.

……

Boss Cao personally led his elite troops to make a surprise attack on Wuchao. Chun Yuqiong, the guard of Wuchao, did not delay his mission, but saw that Boss Cao's soldiers took the initiative to march out of camp to fight Cao's army.

For example, take Chun Yuqiong who guards Wuchao. He didn't show up a few times in "The Three Kingdoms".

Only by filming a general who has no trouble drinking and has an online command level can the movie be more exciting! More infectious!

After being beaten by Cao Cao's elite army of 5,000 men, Chunyu Qiong just retreated to the camp and held on. He did not collapse, and his command level was absolutely online.

The second place is Ren Tianye, whose later masterpiece "I am a Special Forces Soldier".

But at this time, the troops sent by Yuan Shao to support arrived on the battlefield immediately.

Li Yu would rather chat with Jiang Xin in the crew than talk to Peng Yiyan.

At the moment of life and death, Boss Cao made an impassioned and domineering declaration that he regarded death as home.

The morale of the whole army increased, Le Jin fought bravely, broke through the Wuchao camp and killed Chunyu Qiong.

The actors Le Jin and Chun Yuqiong said that they must not be careless. Only by paying attention to every detail can they achieve very burning effects.

Generals in ancient times wore beards, which gave them a more masculine look.

The general actors selected by Li Yu are relatively masculine, and they are basically tough guy actors that the audience later recognized.

Many of the actors chosen by Li Yu are not well-known, which is actually a good thing.

It is precisely because they are not well-known and cannot usually get good jobs that they are willing to learn the Three Kingdoms and Etiquette classes for two months before turning on the machine. If they are actors who are currently popular, it would be difficult for them to calm down and study for two months before filming.

Because they can make a lot of money in two months, even if they agree, their brokerage company may not agree.

Otherwise, why would Li Yu say that he wanted to thank Wu Baige?
Because of Wu Baige, he has really entered his comfort zone and can let go and make an excellent historical war blockbuster.

Da Tiantian once asked Li Yu this question: "Li Yu, the actors you chose for "Guandu" are not very well-known. It seems that no actor, including me, has the ability to carry the box office. Will it be right after it is released? Not good at the box office?"

"Tiantian, as you said, there aren't many actors in mainland China who can carry the box office.

Most of the actors who can carry the box office are superstars from Hong Kong's golden age.

Their prices are too expensive and it is difficult for us to hire them.

In addition, I would like to remind you not to be too obsessed with the ability of superstars to carry the box office.

A movie ultimately relies on quality to conquer the audience. Good quality and having a superstar join the cast is the icing on the cake.

If the quality is not good, it won’t work well no matter what superstar you bring in, and the audience won’t buy it.

Just wait and see, those movies starring Hong Kong superstars will become less and less popular. "

Li Yu analyzed carefully.

Da Tiantian blinked her big shining eyes and looked at Li Yu seriously: "I believe everything you said."

Li Yu could even take her flying, and she believed in Li Yu's vision unconditionally.

After all the actors of "Guandu" entered the two-month assault training class, Hualiu Company announced the complete cast list for the first time.

This list of actors surprised the outside world!

"The influence of international directors is strong. Even though Wu Baige has been on the streets so many times in Hollywood, he is still a T0-level director when he returns to China.

The only one who can compare with him is Zhang Yingmou. His words prevented "Guandu" from hiring good actors. It's really scary! "

"Those actors whose careers are on the rise would rather not act in "Guandu" than offend Wu Baige. "Guandu" is really too miserable."

"It seems that there is no suspense in this arena competition. The disparity in strength is too great."

Some grumpy netizens also commented.

"In the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's troops were only 20,000 to 30,000, while Yuan Shao had 110,000. In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's troops were between 100 and 150,000, and Zhou Lang's army only had 30,000.

Aren't these two wars examples of the weak defeating the strong? I support Li Yu and defeat Wu Baige. I already dislike him. "

Netizens watching the excitement online are divided into pessimists and pessimists.

Both sides held their own opinions and had a heated argument.

Wu Baige burst out laughing after seeing the cast of Li Yu's "Guandu" and was even happier than on Chinese New Year.

Wu Baige handed the newspaper to Xiao Yanzi and other actors to read: "A director with a background in idol dramas who dares to challenge me must know what it means to be too generous.

I can stop him from hiring good actors with just one sentence. Without good actors, it would be strange if his "Guandu" could be filmed well.

Now he probably regretted even his intestines. Unfortunately, it was already too late. "

Xiao Yanzi looked at Wu Baige's brilliant achievements in the newspaper. She was shocked, and there was a faint fear deep in her heart.

Wu Baige was really too strong. When Wu Baige asked her to take sides, she still wanted to hesitate and shirk.

Now it seems that siding with Wu Baige is indeed a wise choice.

Li Yu's "Guandu" was completely ruined because of Wu Baige's words.

If Lee Yoo Tou Iron wants to go all the way and make a movie, it will most likely be a super bad movie with poor quality, bad reputation, and box office failure.

Xiao Yanzi immediately flattered Wu Baige after seeing his amazing influence: "Director Wu, in my mind you are the number one film director in China."
