China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 302: Buying it against Da Tiantian, the villa is close to the sea

Da Tiantian was stunned by Li Yu's sudden words.

Li Yu is going to Berlin?
real or fake?

Hualiu Company and Starlight have a very close cooperation.

Da Tiantian visits Hualiu Company almost as often as she visits Starlight.

It can be said that she knows the situation of Hualiu Company well.

The only film that Hualiu Company has produced so far is "The Night the Comet Came" starring Fan Xiaopang, a very low-cost science fiction film, and the director is not Li Yu himself.

The total investment for this film is only 10 million.

For Da Tiantian, this little money is not enough to buy a lunch box.

This is not an exaggeration. A super-large production like "Man Jiang Hong" with an investment of 3 million requires tens of thousands of extras alone.

After a movie is made, 10 million is really just money to buy lunch boxes for the extras and fodder for the horses.

For such a small-budget, small-production film, Li Yu actually said he would take this film to Berlin? Are you sure you're not kidding?
"Li Yu, are you serious? Do you really want to take "The Night the Comet Came" to the Berlin Film Festival for awards?"

Da Tiantian looked at Li Yu with disbelief.

"Tiantian, does my expression look like I'm joking? I'm telling you, don't look at the small investment in this movie, but the quality of this movie is very high."

Li Yu said calmly.

He really wasn't kidding.

"The Night the Comet Came" was hailed as one of the best science fiction films of the year when it was released, and received critical acclaim.

This is an achievement achieved with a production cost of only 5 yuan.

By the way, there is another very important point. At the beginning of filming, this movie only had a basic story outline and rough character settings.

Many of the lines in the movie were improvised by the actors on the spot.

Therefore, many of the dialogues in the original version of "The Night the Comet Came" sounded a bit confusing.

Li Yu stood on the shoulders of giants to create, optimizing the shortcomings of messy lines, and the production cost increased 30 times.

The shooting time of the original version was only 5 days, and Li Yu's version also has more time for shooting.

In other words, Li Yu's version of "The Night the Comet Came" surpasses the original version in many aspects.

Otherwise, how could Li Yu have the confidence to take this film to the Berlin Film Festival?

He has already been to Cannes once, so how could he miss Berlin?

Da Tiantian thought for a moment and chose to agree with Li Yu's words.

The script of this movie was written by Li Yu, and she recognized the high quality.

However, Da Tiantian is not very confident whether the film will win an award in Berlin.

She spoke her mind.

"Tiantian, you said you have no confidence, so the chance of winning this time is already 70%."

Li Yu said something that shocked Da Tiantian.

Da Tiantian was completely stunned.

Translate, translate, what does this mean?
Before Da Tiantian could take the initiative to ask, Li Yu had already answered: "You think about it, I will get you to invest in the company when I acquire Station A.

You feel that a small website has no future and you are unwilling to say anything. Then Station A becomes one of the video platforms with the highest traffic in the country.

I asked you to film "In Name", but you disliked that Chen Yang didn't have many roles and felt that Chen Yang's character would never be popular. As a result, Chen Yang and Qi Tongwei became a mess.

I'm going against you, the villa must be close to the sea. "

"..."

Da Tiantian was heartbroken by Li Yu's murderous and heart-wrenching words.

It hurts so much, it really hurts. In fact, Da Tiantian is not the only one who has no confidence in this movie. Even the star of this movie, Fan Xiaopang, doesn't have much confidence.

After hearing that Li Yu said that he would take the film to Berlin for awards, Fan Xiaopang's reaction was exactly the same as that of Da Tiantian.

She even made that promise.

"Li Yu, I am very serious now. If our film can really win an award in Berlin, I will listen to you and make up for all the leaks we have stolen over the years."

Li Yu told her that this movie was just a small trial for Li Yu in the field of science fiction, and the real big production would come later.

At that time, Li Yu can give her priority to play the female lead, but the prerequisite is that she must make up for what she stole and what she missed.

The reason given by Li Yu was that he did not want his movie to promote a tainted artist.

Fan Xiaopang has been struggling mentally these days.

It was really painful for her to spit out what she had swallowed, and it was difficult for her to make a decision.

Li Yu said that going to Berlin to judge the award gave her a big shock.

If this movie can really win an award in Berlin and have good box office results when released in China, her stardom will be really bright and her development ceiling will be much higher.

If this is really achieved, she is willing to spit out the money.

She has a brighter future. She can soon double the money back through reasonable and legal methods. What if she can make up for the money? To give you peace of mind, you don’t need to worry anymore.

Li Yu looked at Fan Xiaopang with admiration.

He originally thought that Fan Xiaopang would have to struggle for three or two years before he could figure it out.

He couldn't help but praise: "Sister Binbin, that's right, as long as you can figure it out.

But the bet you placed has nothing to do with me. It is good for you to make up the money, but what good is it to me? "

Fan Xiaopang rolled his eyes at Li Yu and finally promised Li Yu the benefits.

She promised that if this movie really wins an award in Berlin, then when he returns to China, Li Yu can not treat her as a human being just like he did in "The Sun" back then.

After getting Fan Xiaopang's promise, Li Yu was satisfied and motivated.

He immediately stated that he would charge Fan Xiaopang a little interest in advance, and gave a high-sounding reason: "Sister Binbin, it's not that I can't trust you. If you don't give me some indication now, how can I believe that you will really fulfill your promise in the future? Woolen cloth?"

Fan Xiaopang was already impressed by Li Yu's shamelessness.

She took advantage of her and said she didn't believe she would fulfill her promise. Is she the kind of person who goes back on her words after saying so?
An hour later, a refreshed Li Yu and Fan Xiaopang, who was walking a little unnaturally, came out of the hotel together.

……

Three days later, Li Yu, Fan Xiaopang, Cao Qing and others got on a plane to Berlin together.

As a major domestic director, whatever Li Yu does will attract media attention.

Not to mention Fan Xiaopang, a popular actress, her exposure will only be higher than that of Li Yu.

She and Li Yu flew to Berlin together, which immediately aroused media coverage and people's discussion.

"Cannes Best Actress Fan Xiaopang and the famous director Li Yu are reunited, and their destination is suspected to be Berlin."

Shadiao netizens are always so resourceful.

They quickly found out the details of "The Night the Comet Came".

"Director Li silently took "The Night the Comet Came" to Berlin to review the award. He was the screenwriter of this film, Cao Qing was the director, and Fan Xiaopang was the star."

"Holy crap, Director Li secretly made a movie behind our backs? I've never heard of such a movie before?"

"Maybe it's because the total investment for this movie is only 10 million, so there's relatively little marketing and publicity. Also, Director Li's other movies are so popular that they overshadow this small, low-cost production."

"Last time, Li Yu and Fan Xiaopang flew to Cannes together and successfully won a Cannes Best Actress. This time they are reunited again. The goal is the Berlin Film Festival. Will they be able to win another award?"

"Whether it wins an award or not, it doesn't matter whether this is an excellent work of high quality. The script written by Director Li himself is absolutely indispensable. I'm already looking forward to the film being released in China."

Li Yu and his party are still flying in the sky, and domestic media and netizens have paid close attention to this matter.
