China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 274 Starts the sci-fi blockbuster

Fan Xiaopang looked shocked, obviously frightened by Li Yu's words.

This is normal, because the topic Li Yu just talked about with her is very sensitive.

Li Yu advised her to tax what should be taxed and never try to be clever.

Li Yu doesn't want a tainted artist to appear in his movie.

In fact, I should have told Fan Xiaopang about this matter long ago.

It's just that the relationship between Li Yu and Fan Xiaopang was not good enough to say such things in the past. Raising such a sensitive topic rashly would not serve as a warning to the other party. Instead, it would easily arouse the other party's dissatisfaction and offend others.

Now Li Yu and Fan Xiaopang know the ins and outs of each other, and both sides have a deeper understanding of each other, so Li Yu will bring this topic to the table.

Li Yu looked at the dumbfounded Fan Xiaopang seriously and continued: "Sister Binbin, the entertainment industry has been in a stage of barbaric growth in recent years.

You debuted in the late 90s. As someone who has experienced it, you don’t know how many times an artist’s income has increased in the past ten or twenty years, right?

Station A, one of the video websites with the largest number of users in China, is also Li Yu’s industry.

Fan Xiaopang didn't need to hesitate at all and shook his head several times.

When you first debuted, artists' salaries were not much higher than ordinary people.

She herself is like a mirror in her heart. In this regard, she is completely a younger brother compared to Li Yu.

If we were to make a ranking list of mainland directors, Li Yu would definitely be ranked within a slap of the industry model.

Nowadays, the salary an artist can earn from one movie can equal the lifetime income of an ordinary person.

"Isn't it possible? This is an unspoken rule in the industry, and everyone in the industry does this.

This phenomenon has existed for so many years without incident, so how could something suddenly happen? "

I'm not the first to do this, nor am I the last to do this.

This huge disparity in income will sooner or later arouse people's dissatisfaction, and the relevant departments will not give up this area of ​​tax revenue.

Since embarking on the path of directing in 03, he has made many enviable and outstanding achievements in six or seven years.

Hualiu Company founded by Li Yu has become one of the fastest-growing and best film and television production companies in the industry.

Li Yu smiled and asked, "Do you think I look like a fool?"

It's just that Li Yu is a behind-the-scenes staff member, so her exposure is naturally not as high as that of an actress like her.

In recent years, the media has been analyzing her investment experience and personal wealth, praising her as the most business-minded female star in the industry.

Fan Xiaopang couldn't believe it. Like many people in the industry, she had a lucky mentality.

How could such a person be a fool?

As someone who has read the script, Li Yu smiled. Can he say that not only did something happen, but that Fan Xiaopang was also the chicken who killed the chicken to scare the monkey?

What Li Yu said are objective facts.

How could Li Yu be a fool?

At that time, all it takes is an opportunity, and a few of the most eye-catching chickens will definitely be killed for the monkeys to see. "

“Since you think I’m not a fool, why do I pay so much money every year?
From the day I founded a company and became a director, if I had adopted the same approach as you, I would have saved at least several hundred million, right? "

Li Yu's question stunned Fan Xiaopang.

yes! Why does Li Yu have to pay so much money every year?
Wait... She felt that Li Yu was showing her off quietly.

What does it mean that if we adopt the same approach as them, we can save hundreds of millions at least. She smelled a strong smell of Versailles.

She was shocked when she learned that the money Li Yu had given up on his own initiative exceeded her total net worth after more than ten years of business.

She believed half of Li Yu's words.

"You'd better think about it carefully, I don't want the actress I admire to end up as a tainted artist.

You don’t need to be too afraid. I speculate that the situation I mentioned will not happen in three or two years, and it will be hard to say after that. "

Li Yu ordered it to end. Those are all real money. It is very difficult for Fan Xiaopang to make up his mind to spit out so much real money at once.

This is a human nature issue.

People die for money and birds die for food. This is not an empty saying.

Fan Xiaopang nodded seriously. She could hear what Li Yu just said. She was just struggling.

After a while, Fan Xiaopang changed the topic back to movies: "You just said that "The Night the Comet Came" was just a small trial, just to give domestic science fiction films a good start.

So what would that true sci-fi blockbuster you're talking about look like? "

Fan Xiaopang is really not in need of awards to promote her status. She hopes to have a box office hit to prove her commercial value in the film industry.

"Let's put it this way, my expectation for that movie is to open the door to domestic science fiction blockbusters."

Li Yu is very confident.

He hopes to make some contribution to the domestic film industry while making money.

The Chinese film industry needs science fiction blockbusters. By opening the door to science fiction in advance, he may be able to stimulate the film market and produce a number of high-quality science fiction films in the country.

Fan Xiaopang's whole body became energetic, and his eyes showed a look of yearning.

Opening the door to domestic science fiction blockbusters is a huge goal.

The "Guandu" series has allowed Li Yu to achieve the first place in ancient historical war blockbusters.

With Li Yu's authority and ability, Fan Xiaopang would not have the slightest doubt about Li Yu's words.

In China, people are quite superstitious about great directors.

Director Teng made "33 Days of Love", and then investors and Huayi were willing to believe that he could make a good science fiction blockbuster, so the science fiction masterpiece "Fortress" that could compete with Director Bi was born.

Li Yu's status and historical record are much more brilliant than Director Teng.

Before Li Yu took action, most people in the industry, including capital, would not doubt that Li Yu's plan would fail.

On Fan Xiaopang's side, Li Yu stabilized the situation with "The Night the Comet Came", which also gave his science fiction project a good start.

In addition to Fan Xiaopang, Li Yu believes that Shi Shi's movies should also be restarted.

After "Those Years", Li Yu did not arrange any new movies for Shi Shi, mainly because he was worried that the audience would judge that the wax figure of Shi Shi was better than Shi Shi.

After two years of practice, Shi Shi's acting and eye skills have made great progress.

Chen Yang in "My Uncle" and "In Name" are both strong proofs of Shi Shi's acting skills.

The movie Li Yu arranged for Shi Shi was "Little Forest - Summer and Autumn".

This is an excellent movie from Sakura Country. It ranks 250 among the top 126 movies in Doumiao. It has been rated 9.0 by hundreds of thousands of people.

Li Yu believes that Shi Shi's image and temperament are very suitable for this movie.

In addition, the heroine's foodie character is very lovable and will definitely help Shi Shi gain a lot of fans.

This movie is a comic adaptation, but that’s not a big problem.

With Li Yu's current financial resources, he could just find someone to fly to Sakura Country and buy the film rights to "Little Forest".

Shi Shi was very happy when she learned that Li Yu had arranged a new movie for her.

She thought for a while and asked, "Director Cao, can he be busy? Didn't you say that he wants to make a small-budget science fiction film? Does he have the energy to direct two films at the same time?"

That's right, Li Yu plans to hand over "The Night the Comet Came" and "Little Forest" to Cao Qing to direct.

For a movie like this with a low investment, Li Yu has no interest in rolling up his sleeves himself.

Cao Qing's directorial skills have been tested. Da Tiantian's debut film "A Little Thing About First Love" was directed by Cao Qing.

I believe he will be able to make these two movies well.
