China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 258 Da Tiantian becomes one of the highest-grossing actresses in China
Li Yu and Han Dong discussed it and finally selected a date, December 12th.

There is a profound meaning in choosing this time. As long as the results of the second part of "Guandu" are good enough, it can help this year's domestic movies save some face.

Speaking of which, Director Han was a little sad.

He remembered clearly that Li Yu transitioned from a TV series director to a film director a few years ago.

When Wu Baige bombarded Li Yu, almost no one was optimistic about Li Yu.

It is really not easy for Li Yu to withstand the pressure and buck the trend in such a big environment. In just a few years, he has developed to where he is today and has become a figure who carries the banner for domestic films.

Witnessing the growth of a fledgling film director into an industry leader who plays an important role in the film industry, Director Han, who really wants to develop Chinese films, is very pleased.

He patted Li Yu on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Director Li, it's up to you now. I didn't expect Zhang Yingmou's level to drop so drastically."

The report written by China Film Group to the above this year really depends on the second part of Li Yu's "Guandu".

If the second part of "Guandu" is also released, I am afraid that Director Han will inevitably be criticized by the leaders above.

Director Han is under great pressure now.

Li Yu thought he had to say something fair on behalf of the Imperial Preceptor: "I think the level of the Imperial Preceptor has not declined."

Li Yu feels that Zhang Weiping's approach is no different from the capital market ten or twenty years later.

In the end, the reputation of "Golden Armor" was indeed not very good, far inferior to Guoshi's "Hero" in 02.

Just look at the traffic, traffic is king, whoever is more popular, who has more fans, whoever has more traffic, is the protagonist.

He believed that a singer's acting skills could not support a movie.

Zhang Weiping is different. He is a producer and businessman. He pays more attention to commercial value and box office revenue.

Zhang Yingmou's performance in recent years is really unsatisfactory.

Li Yu believed that Zhang Yingmou’s performance over the years was completely reasonable. He said seriously: “Guoshi was mainly influenced by his partner Zhang Weiping.

In recent years, the voices about Zhang Yingmou's declining level have never diminished.

If the actor's professional ability is not up to standard, it is completely out of his consideration.

For example, in the "Golden Armor" a few years ago, the national teacher insisted on opposing the use of singer Zhou Jilun as the starring role.

"Oh? How should I say it?"

However, "The Golden Jacket" was a huge success in the commercial field, with a box office of nearly 3 million, making it the highest-grossing film in the country at the time.

"A City Full of Golden Armor" is not as good as "Hero", and "Three Guns to Surprise" is not as good as "A City Full of Golden Armor".

After "Hero", the quality of Zhang Yingmou's films has continued to decline.

Director Han was a little surprised.

This approach of only looking at the popularity of actors without looking at their abilities is bound to fail. "

In order to maximize business, Zhang Weiping forcibly invited the king-level singer Zhou Jilun.

With the success of "Golden Armor", Zhang Weiping, who had tasted the benefits, became even more bold. He once again ignored the objections of the national teacher and chose Xiao Shen Yang, a sketch actor who became famous all over the country this year for his sketch "Not Short of Money".

Guoshi is a very pure film director who pursues art and really wants to make good films.

How is it possible to make a good film in this mode?
The script of Guoshi has always been a weak point, and with some unprofessional actors holding it back, it is normal for his movies to become increasingly ugly.

"Go inside, Director Li. It seems you know Zhang Yingmou very well."

Director Han looked at Li Yu with admiration.

Not only is Li Yu good at making movies, but his eye for seeing people and current situations is also top-notch.

"Guo Shi is currently the most prestigious director in the country. He and I are in the same profession. I understand him. It makes sense, right? If the opportunity is right, I wouldn't mind working with Guo Shi once."

Li Yu said seriously.

Li Yu believes that as a director, he is not as capable as Zhang Yingmou.

At least this is the situation currently. Li Yu has a very clear understanding of himself. His biggest advantage is that he never shoots plots that disgust domestic audiences. Scripts have always been his strong point.

Li Yu truly believed that his cooperation with Zhang Yingmou would achieve great results.

He wrote the script himself and left the filming to Zhang Yingmou.

With Zhang Yingmou's ability to control the camera and his top-notch use of color, it will definitely be a very shocking super blockbuster.

"Director Li, don't worry and go back to prepare for your premiere. I will give you a surprise that day."

Director Han suddenly became unreasonable.

After Li Yu returned, he spent a lot of time preparing for the premiere of the second part of "Guandu".

As the heroine of the "Guandu" series, Da Tiantian took a leave of absence from the director of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" Li Mu Ge in order to attend the premiere.

Li Muge has a very high emotional intelligence and said that you can treat Da Tiantian as long as you want.

Da Tiantian is the biggest sponsor of the drama "Step by Step". As a director, he works for Da Tiantian. How dare he not criticize Da Tiantian for being fake?

Li Muge thinks that Da Tiantian, the sponsor, is already very friendly.

At least Da Tiantian didn't bring a boyfriend into the set, and she didn't ask him, the director, to highlight his superior jawline in the camera.

He felt that Da Tiantian's performance in a certain scene was not good enough and there was room for improvement.

He gave a few hints, and Da Tiantian was able to listen.

Thanks to Li Yu's previous advice to Da Tiantian, Li Muge was right to listen to him regarding matters on the set.

In addition, this was Da Tiantian's first TV series starring in it, so she didn't dare to waste it. She didn't want to give back the success she had achieved in recent years.

After returning to the capital from Hengdian, Da Tiantian seemed a little excited: "After waiting for so long, the second part of my "Guandu" can finally be released."

"Tiantian, why are you so excited? You don't have many roles.

The "Guandu" series is a historical war blockbuster. It is an ensemble drama and does not add much to the actors. "

Li Yu said nonsense.

"Guandu" is a type of movie that doesn't praise actors. It's similar to the later "Operation Red Sea" in that it doesn't highlight one character.

This kind of ensemble movie is a great addition to the director.

Being able to make this type of movie well shows that the director has a very strong ability to control the plot.

What Li Yu said was true, but Da Tiantian didn't care at all. She asked: "You don't have many roles. But, let me ask you, do you think my name should be written on the position of the female lead?" Bar."

"..."

Li Yu was unable to refute.

There's nothing wrong with her, no matter how few scenes Da Tiantian has, she will still be the heroine of the "Guandu" series, and that's right.

Da Tiantian looked at Li Yu who was stunned, and quickly asked a new question: "How many billions do you think our second part of "Guandu" can have at the box office? Will it have a box office of 4 million?"

Li Yu thought for a while and replied: "It should be possible. Even if we remove the support from the top, we still have a box office of more than 3 million.

Now that it has been a year and a half since the first part was released, the number of screens in the mainland has increased by more than 2,000.

There are already three movies with a box office of over 4 million this year. The market can already support movies with a box office of 3 million. I don’t think it will be a big problem for our next movie to exceed the box office of 4 million. "

Da Tiantian was even more excited when she received a positive reply: "Then I want to become one of the top-grossing movie actresses in China?"

This is a new angle that Li Yu has never thought of.

"First Love" has a box office of over RMB 4 million, and if the second part of "Guandu" really exceeds RMB 8 million, the combined box office of the first and second parts will be RMB 9 to million.

If you look at it this way, Da Tiantian is really one of the highest-grossing movie actresses in China.
