China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 26 The fine tradition of Beijing Film Directors

Li Yu and Yu Feihong exchanged mobile phone numbers.

Li Yu promised to wait until he wrote the complete script before showing it to Yu Feihong.

Yu Feihong was very happy. She still gained a lot from her visit to Teacher Gao today, and her visit was not in vain.

Although her movie script "Love Is Afterlife" still did not achieve any breakthrough.

But she discovers a TV version of "Goblin".

That's right, in her eyes, ghosts are the TV version of Love After Life.

After all, there are some similarities in settings between the two.

After chatting for a while, Yu Feihong left first on the grounds that he was busy with something.

After Yu Feihong left, the conversation between Li Yu and Teacher Gao became much more relaxed.

"You guys can do it. Your senior sister Yu has very strong connections in the industry, and she happens to be planning to become a director behind the scenes.

When I first asked you to come here, I had the idea of ​​getting you on a good relationship with her, thinking that it would be helpful to your directing career.

I didn’t expect that, I didn’t do anything and you got on the line yourself.

The drama "Ghosts" must be filmed well. I like your script very much and think it is very interesting to write. "

Teacher Gao smiled and praised the student without hesitation.

Compared with the story of Full House, the story of ghosts and ghosts does have more depth, and the background setting and other aspects are more grand.

In Teacher Gao's view, this is a reflection of Li Yu's progress.

In fact, it is not unusual for Teacher Gao to have such a view.

Full House is certainly a classic, but as a pioneer in changing the painful model of Silla idol dramas, it was too early to cover everything.

Goblin is a masterpiece that stands on the shoulders of its predecessors and can be regarded as one of the pinnacles of Silla idol dramas.

If we want to rank the two highest quality and most popular among Silla idol dramas.

Ghosts can definitely be ranked in the top ten of both lists, while Full House can only occupy a place in the latter.

"Teacher Gao, I will work hard."

Li Yu nodded seriously.

Teacher Gao was very satisfied and left Li Yu to have dinner at his home.

While having dinner, Teacher Gao suddenly asked a question: "Teacher, I want to ask you a question. Have you completely given up on the idea of ​​making movies and want to delve deeper into the field of television?"

To become a respected director or famous director, you must ultimately prove yourself through movies.

The quality of movies is that they are much better than TV series. This is a universally recognized thing, and this is true all over the world.

Otherwise, why would there be such a thing as a movie star or a TV star?

Especially 10 years ago, movie stars disdained making TV series, thinking that the price of making TV series would lower their status and quality.

After TV stars achieve dazzling results in the field of television, they often squeezing their heads into the film industry.

Teacher Gao thinks Li Yu is a rare student. First of all, he is a director, and he also has very good screenwriting skills. He can write his own scripts and his writing is quite good.

Such a good talent needs to be properly guided. If he just falls into the TV industry and never comes out, wouldn't this good talent be wasted?

Li Yu knew what Teacher Gao wanted to express, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Teacher Gao, when the domestic film market matures, I will definitely enter the film industry.

Now, I don’t think the time has come yet.

Take last year, for example, among the top ten box office movies in the Mainland, apart from Zhang Yingmou's "Hero", which had a box office of 2.48 million, the second place "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" only had a box office of million.

This can no longer be described as a cliff-like fall. This is a cut in half, all of a sudden cut to the knees. Among the top ten, several films are imported, and most of the rest are co-produced by Hong Kong and Taiwan.

People like them have the ability to let movies be released in other countries or regions. Otherwise, relying on the mainland market, they will lose all their money. "

Li Yu's words are not exaggerated at all.

The domestic film market is too sluggish right now, and making movies may not be as profitable as making TV series.

Li Yu initially gave up the idea of ​​making movies and chose to start his career in TV series. This was a decision he made after careful consideration.

After Teacher Gao learned about Li Yu's idea of ​​not entering the film industry for the time being, he couldn't help but look at the student again.

This guy is not only talented, but also has a unique vision, and he has a thorough understanding of the current market situation!
  Indeed, many of the top ten movies in the mainland's annual box office list will suffer losses based solely on box office sales in the domestic market.

Why are today's small steel cannons so awesome?

Because he is currently one of the few mainland directors in China who not only does not lose money but also makes money when making movies.

But don’t be too pessimistic, because the era of domestic film takeoff is about to come.

“The movie Hero ushered in the era of commercial blockbusters in domestic movies, and it took over 200 million in box office in the domestic market alone last year.

This proves that the domestic film market has huge potential. Domestic careerists will definitely be restless. They should follow up and produce good blockbusters.

Good blockbusters will promote the development of the domestic film market and increase the number of theater screens.

In a few more years, when the domestic film market picks up, it will be time for me to enter the film industry. "

Li Yu talked eloquently and shared his views with Teacher Gao.

Teacher Gao was surprised. What Li Yu said was a prediction of the future domestic film market, and the overall logic was very strong and forward-looking.

If you improve these words and conduct a deeper analysis, you can write a paper.

What is a genius? This is a fucking genius!

Teacher Gao was very pleased, even a little excited.

The students he teaches have such vision and ability. If this student really makes a career in the film industry in the future, he, the teacher, will definitely benefit from it.

"Li Yu, your analysis is accurate. Hero has grossed more than 200 million yuan at the box office, and domestic ambitious directors have begun to get restless.

I heard that after filming "Cell Phone", Huayi's Xiaogang Pao plans to make a blockbuster with an investment of tens of millions, following in the footsteps of Zhang Yingmou.

Chen Kaige is also currently planning a movie with a large investment amount. According to the news I have received, there is a high probability that it will be launched in the first half of next year.

The era of booming domestic film market is really coming. "

Li Youxu nodded seriously after listening to Teacher Gao's words.

Xiaogangpao's blockbuster film after filming "Mobile Phone" should be "A World Without Thieves", and the movie made by Chen Kaige is called "The Promise".

A World Without Thieves is indeed a very good movie.

As for Wuji, Li Yu could only say that Director Chen was right. A mortal like him really couldn't understand it.

Not to mention that he won't be able to understand it in ten years, but he still won't be able to understand it in twenty years.

Li Yu stayed at Teacher Gao's house for a long time. It was late at night before Li Yu left Teacher Gao's house.

Before sending Li Yu off, Teacher Gao reminded Li Yu without forgetting his original intention: "If the conditions are right, the ghosts should still give priority to our Beijing Film actors, and we cannot let outsiders see our Beijing Film jokes."

Li Yu smiled and said nothing.

Teacher Gao is really good at judging people. How did he know that he was going to use an actor from the movie next door?

The fine tradition of Beijing Film Directors cannot be discontinued when it comes to him.
