China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 301 What if I say I want to go to Berlin?

As an experienced actor with both virtue and skill, Li Xuejian will try his best to perform every role he takes.

In the past, when he was young, he had few roles, so he would play any role.

Now that he is getting older, he must have certain requirements when choosing roles, and he will not accept all roles.

What Li Yu said just now moved him.

Use a movie to tell the national audience what the real Qin Hui is like and what Yue Fei is like.

Let Qin Hui, a great traitor through the ages, never be cleansed.

How good is this goal? What a positive energy.

"Director Li, I can play the role of Qin Hui, and I must play this role well."

Li Xuejian's eyes became firm in an instant.

"Director Li, you are really amazing. There are not many people who can make such a big concession from Director Zhang."

Chen Daoming was filled with emotions.

China is a director-centered system. Generally, the director has the final say, and the producer doesn’t matter! This is not Hollywood or Silla.

In addition to Li Xuejian, Chen Daoming also agreed to make a friendly guest appearance in "Man Jiang Hong".

He has been on a decline over the years, with the quality of his films getting worse than the last, and his reputation has dropped severely.

Li Yu is probably the only one who can make Zhang Yingmou, who has been promoted to the rank of national master, act honestly and resolutely as a director without fussing.

After talking to Chen Daoming on the phone that day, he was already angry with Zhang Yingmou.

These two are both good actors with excellent acting skills, and their addition will definitely add points to the movie.

After everything about participating in the film was settled, Chen Daoming suddenly asked Li Yu a question: "Director Li, you are the producer of the movie, and Director Zhang is the chief director of this movie. We do not need to go through Zhang to determine the role. Guide?”

That's true, but Li Yu is not the kind of person without emotional intelligence.

Chen Daoming: "..."

If it really achieves the effect Li Yu said, then it would be of great significance for him to play Qin Hui.

Li Yu laughed after hearing this and replied: "Director Zhang has the final say on the shooting on the set, and I have the final say on everything else."

After observing Chen Daoming's surprised look, Li Yu explained modestly: "It's all for profit. Director Zhang only gave in temporarily due to the situation.

Faced with this situation, he wanted to prove himself again with a shocking masterpiece and return to the top of his career.

The new director in the film industry who was bullied by Wu Baige really made it to the top in one fell swoop.

Li Yu is very satisfied. With Li Xuejian, the Grand Slam Best Actor, joining the cast, "Man Jiang Hong" is one step closer to success.

I have no objections to Chen Daoming and Li Xuejian joining Zhang Yingmou.

If this continues, his movies will not be as popular as those of Feng Xiaogang.

Even if he would be beaten to death when he returned to his hometown for the New Year after playing the role of Qin Hui, he had to play this role well.

Fortunately, I am the person who can help him achieve this goal. "

Although he knew that Li Yu was being modest, he didn't know why, but he could taste a strong flavor of Versailles in Li Yu's words.

Li Yu is the person who can help Zhang Yingmou return to the top. This is really extraordinary.

What's even more amazing is that what Li Yu said is true.

People all over the country know that Zhang Yingmou's films have gradually become less popular in recent years, not because his filmmaking skills have regressed, but because his scripts are so bad.

All these successful and famous directors in China have a problem. They have a strong desire to express themselves, and it is common for them to change their scripts.

Most of the time, no one dares to persuade them. They are not screenwriters themselves, so it’s the devil if the script is not bad.

In fact, it's not that great directors like Zhang Yingmou and Director Chen can't find good screenwriters.

For example, the very powerful domestic screenwriter Lu Wei, Director Chen's "Farewell My Concubine" and Zhang Yingmou's "Alive" were all written by him.

Why doesn't Zhang Yingmou go back to cooperate with Lu Wei?
Probably because they also have ideals, and they don’t want a good script that they have worked so hard to write to be wasted by others.

A classic example is when Wu Baige asked Lu Wei to help write the script for "Red Cliff".

The conversation at that time is as follows.

Lu Wei: "What theme do you want to express?"

Wu Baige: "What I want is peace, and peace is very great." Lu Wei: "Then which character do you want to be the protagonist?"

Wu Baige: "Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao is very important, Xiao Qiao is very important."

Lu Wei: "Why?"

Wu Baige: "Because Lin Zhiling is beautiful."

In the end, Lu Wei could only say that he was pleased with the meeting, and then nothing more happened.

It is estimated that Zhang Yingmou's situation when he approached a big boss like Lu Wei to write a script was not much different from Wu Baige's, except that his request was not as weird as Wu Baige's, but the boss still couldn't accept it.

When we arrived at Li Yu's place, the situation was a little different.

In addition to being a screenwriter, Li Yu has another identity as a director. His status as a director is not much lower than that of Zhang Yingmou, and his performance has even surpassed Zhang Yingmou's.

In addition, he is a capital, and he is also one of the investors in the movie "River Red".

With the superposition of multiple identities, he was able to suppress Zhang Yingmou.

This is not permanent. After "Man Jiang Hong" passes, Zhang Yingmou will definitely return to his old unconstrained style, and there is a high probability that he will go downhill.

But that was a matter for the future and Zhang Yingmou's own business, and Li Yu didn't want to worry about it.

As long as Zhang Yingmou doesn't act like a monster during the filming of "Man Jiang Hong".

The actors for Qin Hui and Song Xiaozong have already been cast, and Li Yu has to cast another hated character, Wanyan Gou, oh no, Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou is a very coward. Logically speaking, he should kneel in front of Yue Fei with Qin Hui.

But in ancient times, the emperor was larger than the sky, and it was impossible for the emperor to make mistakes, so there was no kneeling statue of him.

Li Yu will write out the real Zhao Gou in history in the script, so that he and Qin Hui will be infamy for thousands of years, so that neither of them can ever be cleansed.

Now is no longer the ancient times, the Qing Dynasty has died, and his emperor will be pulled out and reviled by people.

Da Tiantian's "Step by Step" has been filmed.

Da Tiantian has been carefully thinking about the script of "Man Jiang Hong" these days.

Every time she watched it, she would be annoyed by Qin Hui and Zhao Gou.

She complained to Li Yu: "The enemy is inside, everyone in the court is a hindrance, and even the emperor himself is a coward. The Song Dynasty really does not deserve to have a great hero like Yue Fei."

It's very normal for Da Tiantian to feel like this.

Because Song Shi has always been a good medicine for treating hypotension.

Li Yu looked at Da Tiantian who was very angry and asked her a question: "Why else do you think netizens call Zhao Gou Wanyan Gou?"

Da Tiantian already knew what Li Yu's purpose was in filming "Man Jiang Hong", she couldn't help but said: "Li Yu, you said Qin Hui must be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever.

I think Zhao Gou is similar. We have to find a good actor to portray Zhao Gou's coward appearance, and we can't let others whitewash this coward. "

Da Tiantian has a very upright outlook on life.

Li Yu wants to give her a like.

He said confidently: "Don't worry, I have already found Zhao Gou's actor, Ni Dahong."

"Ni Dahong?" Da Tiantian looked confused.

"Tiantian, you can search for Zhao Gou's portrait on the Internet. His portrait looks very much like Ni Dahong. Ni Dahong's acting skills are so great, who would you look for if not him?"

Ni Dahong's acting skills are very strong, just watch Yan Song in "The Ming Dynasty".

Li Yu believes that he will be able to play the role of Zhao Gou well.

Da Tiantian's eyes became a little excited: "The important roles have basically been decided. Will our "Man Jiang Hong" be launched soon?"

Li Yu shook his head slightly and said, "No, a movie from my company is about to be released. I have to be busy for ten days and a half."

This is Li Yu's work that opened the door to domestic science fiction, and he has to pay attention to it.

"Can't you just go and help stand down when the movie comes out? How can you use ten days and a half?"

"What if I said, I want to take this movie to Berlin?"

Li Yu's words stunned Da Tiantian on the spot.
