China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 306: Climb to the top as soon as you turn on the computer
The disadvantage of "Comet" as a niche film was already revealed on the fifth day of its release.

Most domestic audiences watch foreign science fiction blockbusters for the shocking scenes and realistic special effects.

The investment in "Comet" was only 1000 million. It is true that it is a very hard-core science fiction film, but it mainly relies on the plot and setting to win.

Only true science fiction fans are the audience for this film.

On the fifth day of release, after the box office exceeded 7000 million, most of the film's audience had already bought tickets and entered the theater, and the decline began to show.

On the sixth day, the single-day box office dropped to less than 1000 million.

It is worth mentioning that this movie has a very good reputation on the Doumiao rating website, with hundreds of thousands of people giving it a high score of 9.0.

This is mainly due to Li Yu's optimization of the script, and the fact that the investment is many times higher than the original version. Therefore, this version of "Comet" is much better than the original version in many small details.

The production cost of the original version was only 5 yuan, which was really shabby.

Li Yu didn't put much thought into the film "Comet". The film he really valued was "Man Jiang Hong" co-produced by him and Zhang Yingmou.

Reporters gathered at the launch of "River Red", and the scene was already bigger than that of Wu Baige during the "Red Cliff" period.

After Li Yu and Zhang Yingmou proposed the "Man Jiang Hong" plan, during the period when Zhang Yingmou was hesitant, Li Yu still did not stop making armors, costumes and other preparatory work.

Li Yu's demands have never changed. Doesn't that mean Zhang Yingmou gave in?

So I'm curious, why did you suddenly collaborate with Director Li again? He heard that Director Li's request had not changed at all. "

It would be better to admit it honestly, which would show his honesty and magnanimity.

As soon as the combination of Li Yu and Zhang Yingmou came out, it naturally became the biggest focus in the film industry.

When it comes to "Man Jiang Hong", the fine tradition here must be continued.

Of course, the biggest problem with Zhang Yingmou's version of "Man Jiang Hong" is not its conformity, but the Xiang-like plot.

After a period of time, Director Li contacted me and said that he had written a script, which was "Man Jiang Hong".

From the day he became a director, Li Yu attached great importance to persuasion.

Doing a good job in persuading historical films has become one of Li Yu's golden signatures.

There are not many secrets in the entertainment industry. Since reporters all know that Li Yu has great restrictions on him, it is useless for him to hide it, as it will not stop everyone from talking.

Faced with this thorny issue, Zhang Yingmou did not choose sophistry, but admitted it generously.

In the original version of Zhang Yingmou's version of "Man Jiang Hong", the uniforms of the civilian officials and military attachés were okay, but the armors worn by the soldiers and generals were very ordinary.

Li Yu promised Da Tiantian that "Man Jiang Hong" can be officially launched after he returns from Berlin.

Zhang Yingmou answered seriously: "Yes, in fact, I took the initiative to ask Director Li to make an appointment at the beginning. I took the initiative to tell Director Li that if there was a chance, we could collaborate once.

Li Yu suppressed Zhang Yingmou and did not give Zhang Yingmou any room to develop in the plot. He only allowed him to be a tool director. Coupled with his excellent persuasion, the future of this film is definitely bright.

Li Yu himself is full of confidence in "Man Jiang Hong", and his expectation for this film is to set a new box office record for domestic films.

"Director Zhang, there were rumors saying that you don't plan to cooperate with Director Li because Director Li has too many restrictions on you, which makes you uncomfortable.

The preparation time for the movie "River Red" is quite long.

Reporters really like to stir up trouble.

I fell in love with this script as soon as I saw it. It was so exciting and the quality was great.

I proposed to embed some of my ideas into the script, but Director Li sternly rejected it.

At that time, I had the idea of ​​​​quitting. After I returned, I thought seriously about it for a while.

I found that I couldn't let go of this good script. I felt that I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't make this movie, so I took the initiative to contact Director Li again. "

Zhang Yingmou deserves to be the only director ranked in the country, and his emotional intelligence is outstanding. What he said not only demonstrated his sincerity, but also praised Li Yu's talent, and also served as an advertisement for the movie.

He would regret it for the rest of his life if he didn't make this movie. How high does the script have to be? Everyone has tried their best to use their imagination, but still can't imagine it.

The reporter couldn't help but ask: "Director Zhang, is it as exaggerated as you said?"

Zhang Yingmou, who was wearing a hat, had a very serious expression: "It's not an exaggeration at all. There is no need to doubt the quality of Director Li's script.

As far as I know, "The Night the Comet Came" is just a script that Director Li spent a few days writing.

And "The River is Red" is a script that Director Li has been polishing for a long time. When I say this, everyone should understand it, right? "

The reporters were stunned.

The script written in a few days won the Berlin Film Festival Award, easily captured a silver bear, and won the Best Screenplay Award at this Berlin Film Festival.

Is "Man Jiang Hong" that Li Yu has been polishing for a long time still good?

After the shock, reporters began to question Li Yu.

"Director Li, do you think "Man Jiang Hong" can surpass your "Guandu" series in terms of performance?"

Li Yu laughed when he heard this question: "Is the script I wrote and Director Zhang coming to direct just surpass the "Guandu" series? Then wouldn't my cooperation with Director Zhang be in vain?"

Li Yu did not give reporters a direct answer, but his confidence radiated from the inside out.

The words of Li Yu and Zhang Yingmou both convey the same meaning. The movie "Man Jiang Hong" is really extraordinary.

Cheng Long and Da Tiantian, as the leading actors in "Man Jiang Hong", both of them also spoke highly of the script.

"I'm afraid you don't know, right? I made an appointment with Director Li two years ago, not long after "Guandu" was released.

I have been waiting for two years for the movie "Man Jiang Hong".

In order to make "Man Jiang Hong", I turned down two movies with a salary of tens of millions, and I made a lot less money.

When I first saw the script for "Man Jiang Hong", I thought my wait was worth it. "

Cheng Long said very sincerely.

These are his innermost thoughts. In "Man Jiang Hong", his salary was very low, only a little over 1000 million, which was really a bargain for him.

Coupled with the movie contracts he turned down, he really made tens of millions less.

But he truly thinks it's all worth it.

"Uncle Long and I read the script together at that time. Uncle Long and I agreed that it was the best script we had ever seen."

Da Tiantian’s words also come from the heart.

Veteran actors such as Li Xuejian and Chen Daoming also highly praised the script of "Man Jiang Hong".

After the news spread, netizens went crazy.

"If I don't make a movie, I will regret it for the rest of my life. "Man Jiang Hong" seems to be more exciting than I imagined! It's a pity that it has just started filming. If it can be released soon, I will go to the cinema to buy tickets as soon as possible."

"Director Li did a great job. Zhang Yingmou actually wanted to embed his ideas in the script, but Director Li refused well. Zhang Yingmou is suitable to be a director. If we let him follow his own ideas, there will definitely be another shocking plot. "

"Chen Daoming, Ni Dahong, Li Xuejian... all the veteran actors are here together! No wonder Directors Li and Zhang are so confident."

"Li Yu's script, Zhang Yingmou is in charge of directing, and there are famous actors like Li Xuejian and Chen Daoming. It's a perfect configuration for a masterpiece."

"River Red" reached the top spot as soon as it was released, and it has already become the most discussed domestic film of the year just after it was released.
