China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 294 I can’t even imagine how good this movie will be

The script written by Li Yu himself and the total investment of 3 million yuan are all very attractive.

Now that the two items were put together, even Zhang Yingmou couldn't resist.

It was not that he was not under supervision when he was making movies more than ten or twenty years ago.

Although the feeling of being controlled is not very good and not free, in the face of the huge temptation to set a new record in the history of Chinese-language films, those trivial matters have become unworthy of mentioning.

Yes, Zhang Yingmou believes that this movie is definitely aiming to break records.

He and Li Yu were combined, and the quality and plot of the film were very high. He couldn't even imagine how powerful this film would be.

"Director Zhang, have you really figured it out? I will not give in. I will not let you change my script to Qin Hui leading the entire army to recite Manjianghong."

Li Yu said in a teasing tone.

When talking about this, Zhang Yingmou couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Dream Chasing Movie Circle" currently maintains a rating of above 8.7 on the rating website.

As long as Zhang Yingmou realizes his shortcomings and doesn't mess around with them.

Li Yu was satisfied with this answer.

Great directors like Zhang Yingmou should be put in shackles and have someone hold them down so that they can make great films.

I am a director, and I am not as good as you in shaping the story. "

Da Tiantian really came with Cheng Long today.

What people want to see is the death of Qin Hui, a great traitor who has been infamous for thousands of years, without a burial place.

Zhang Yingmou was very convinced by this, and he admitted that the script was indeed his shortcoming.

In the field of scripts, he is far inferior to Li Yu.

Instead of the protagonist group being basically killed in battle, in the end even Qin Hui's real face was not seen, and only a fake Qin Hui was held hostage to recite ancient poems.

We were talking about the script that day, and he suggested that Li Yu modify the script, saying that such modification would better reflect the tragedy of Yue Fei and the Yue Family Army.

As a result, he was criticized by Li Yu.

That day Li Yu told Da Tiantian on the phone that they would talk in detail later.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

No one is holding them down, they are more and more waves.

After returning that day, he discussed it with some friends in the industry.

Zhang Yingmou laughed dryly and replied: "I really figured it out, professional matters should be left to professional people.

In the double-choice question of Li Yu's ending and his ending, everyone almost unanimously believed that Li Yu's ending was much better.

Li Yu was chatting with Da Tiantian and Cheng Long about "Man Jiang Hong".

Li Yu even commented that if it were really shot like that, the audience would suggest making a statue of him to place next to Qin Hui and his wife.

The comments from friends in the industry and the quality of the script of "Dream Chasing Film Circle" made him realize the reality.

"Director Zhang called and said that he had figured it out and he planned to serve as the chief director of "Man Jiang Hong"."

Li Yu did not show off and directly shared the news with the two of them.

Both Da Tiantian and Cheng Long were a little surprised by the news.

The last time Zhang Yingmou proposed to change the script, he was criticized by Li Yu. They could see that Zhang Yingmou had backed down.

They thought Zhang Yingmou was quitting and Li Yu would most likely become the director of the film.

"Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, Director Zhang finally made up his mind to cooperate with us."

Da Tiantian sighed with emotion.

"It's nothing to be surprised about, it's normal. He knows who is better at writing scripts, me or him.

My "Dream Film Circle" has done so well at the box office, and "Man Jiang Hong" is a super big production with an investment of hundreds of millions. Do you think he can watch it and not be moved? "

Everything was as expected by Li Yu.

After "Dream Chasing Movie Circle" was released, Li Yu guessed that Zhang Yingmou would most likely contact him. He also considered that the result of Zhang Yingmou not contacting him would be nothing more than his own fault.

The former has more potential, and Li Yu can accept the latter.

With Li Yu's current influence and appeal, as long as the quality of the movies he makes is good enough and he doesn't make high-profile movies, the box office will be basically the same.

If you just want to break the rules and push the limits of the market, there may be little hope.

Li Yu not only wanted to make a big deal with Zhang Yingmou, but also had another reason that he didn't tell anyone.

He thinks he has reached a plateau.

His directorial skills did not reach his current level as soon as he debuted. He also gradually improved by accumulating experience step by step.

If he didn't have the experience of filming idol dramas and "Signal" and "Those Years", he would not be able to complete "Guandu" and "Dream Film Circle" directly from the start.

Li Yu feels that his progress has become very slow after filming the "Guandu" series, so slow that it feels a bit stagnant.

When Li Yu brought Zhang Yingmou over to film "The River Is Red", Li Yu wanted to learn shooting techniques from Zhang Yingmou.

Zhang Yingmou is a legend in the Chinese film industry. Later, his reputation showed signs of collapse, but his level is recognized by everyone.

As a director, Zhang Yingmou actually has the best photography compared to his level of directing.

After all, he is a photographer, and his control of the lens, use of multiple complex colors and composition are absolutely top-notch.

Li Yu felt that he could seriously learn from his strengths.

If you want to surpass a person, you must adopt a humble attitude, study his strengths carefully, and recognize his shortcomings.

Then make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses, take the essence and remove the dross, and ultimately achieve transcendence.

It is true that Li Yu has made the highest-grossing movie in the country, but he does not think that his director's level is the best in the country. He thinks that he still has room for improvement.

……

After half a month has passed, Da Tiantian's "Step by Step" has entered the final finishing stage and will be completed in three or two days of filming.

The movie "Dream Chasing Movie Circle" was released, and the box office was set at around 6 million, not 6.1 million.

Although this 6 million is a bit too extreme, no matter how extreme it is, breaking 6 million is a fact.

"Dream Chasing Movie Circle" is the first Chinese-language film to have a box office of over 6 million. This achievement was successfully achieved by Li Yu.

Just the news that the box office of "Dream Chasing Movie Circle" exceeded 6 million is enough to make people excited.

But more burning and explosive news followed one after another.

Hualiu Company and Old Picture Company jointly announced a piece of news that could shake up the film industry.

Li Yu and Zhang Yingmou are really going to cooperate.

What came out before was just a little bit of rumors, but none of them were reliable.

This time it has been confirmed that the two leading figures in Chinese cinema have really joined forces.

The Internet exploded because of this news.

Careful netizens discovered that the chief director of the new film "Man Jiang Hong" is Zhang Yingmou. Li Yu does not serve as the director. He serves as the producer and chief screenwriter.

After noticing this detail, netizens became even more excited.

"Oh my god, Li Yu is in charge of the script and Zhang Yingmou is in charge of the director. I can't even imagine how good this movie will be."

"With tears in my eyes, the National Master is finally willing to listen to everyone's advice. He is finally willing to find a good screenwriter to cooperate with."

"This one is absolutely stable."

"Invest 3 million, the combination of Guoshi + Li Yu, this is a top-notch configuration."

"Damn it, why did you release the news so early? Can't you tell everyone later? You released the news so early and I started to look forward to it. It's really annoying."

On the day the announcement of the collaboration between Li Yu and Zhang Yingmou was released, the media in Hong Kong brought equally shocking news.

International director Wu Baige has raised 4 million yuan and is ready to go all out. He is back with his new film "The Peace Wheel".
