China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 358 A Different First Emperor

"No, no, no, a certain poet once boasted that he was the most powerful screenwriter in China, and he really took it seriously, right?

When a person is overconfident, he is not far away from falling into trouble. I am waiting to see you fall into the street. "

"I used to laugh at Wu Baige for losing hundreds of millions for making a movie. I think you are not far behind Wu Baige."

"Well, I found that all these directors in China have a problem. After becoming famous, they start to enjoy themselves."

These are the voices of anti-fans who dislike Li Yu.

This is a very normal thing. Li Yu is not RMB, so it is impossible for everyone to like him.

Especially since he has offended the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles, there are countless people in both circles who are looking forward to his demise.

Maybe quite a few of these sarcastic voices are trolls.

Because many entertainment weeklies, magazines, and websites in Hong Kong and Taiwan have publicly ridiculed Li Yu for taking too big a step, and it is very likely that he will get involved.

Fu Dalong was smiling, but the smile on his face was very ugly.

Everyone carried the sedan chair. When Wu Baige first returned to China, he was very prosperous and was responsible for the unprecedented large-scale investment project "Red Cliff" in China.

Before the collapse of the house, they could boast about their acting skills even if they stared at them. After the collapse, they changed their stance in a second and became messengers of justice who criticized inferior artists. They received both positive and negative waves of traffic.

If you let me, a completely unknown actor, play such an important role, the outside world will be even more unpopular. "

In order to belittle Li Yu, they now even belittled Wu Baige, whom they once praised so highly.

Now Wu Baige is completely stinking on the street, and he can no longer survive and has no choice but to withdraw from the circle.

This is like many celebrities whose houses collapsed later.

"Frog Entertainment: Li Yu is still guilty of arrogance after all. We seem to see the shadow of "Red Cliff" and "Taiping Wheel"."

"Director Li, I think you should find a particularly powerful veteran actor to play Qin Shihuang in a situation like this.

He is really worried that he will drag down Li Yu and the movie "The Great Wall".

It can only be said to be very realistic.

As for Li Yu, he himself naturally noticed the doubts from the outside world.

In summary, status earned through luck will eventually be given back when luck runs out. "

The media in Hong Kong and Taiwan are extremely flattering to Wu Baige and tout Wu Baige as the most powerful director in the history of China.

It's no big deal that he can defeat Wu Baige. Wu Baige's peak period has long passed.

"A young director who rose to the altar by defeating Wu Baige, his ability has always been overestimated by everyone.

"No matter how you look at it, it looks like a super bad movie. It's very unfavorable."

When he heard that Li Yu said that he wanted to play Qin Shihuang in "The Great Wall", he was extremely moved.

The time when he defeated Wu Baige was when a director's creative desire was at its strongest.

Li Yu gave him a chance to star in "The King of the Northern Dynasties". He was really honored and very grateful to Li Yu.

If Wu Baige was as young as him, he would not be Wu Baige's opponent at all.

But... there are too many doubts from the outside world. The "Great Wall" series has not yet started filming, and listening to the voices in the public opinion field, it seems that it is not far away from being thrown into the street.

He was very worried that his performance as a young actor would not meet Li Yu's expectations and that he would not be able to perform the effect Li Yu wanted.

If his Qin Shihuang really held back the "Great Wall" series, he was afraid that he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Li Yu could understand Fu Dalong's hidden meaning.

Letting an unknown actor play Qin Shihuang would indeed cause huge controversy in the current public opinion environment.

"Then who do you think is more suitable to play the role of the ancestral dragon Qin Shihuang?"

Li Yu asked deliberately.

"Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo are both veteran actors. The emperors they played are very good. If they were to act, they would definitely be better than me. If they act, they can reduce some unnecessary criticism." Fu Dalong said Give sincere advice from the heart.

Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo and Li Yu he mentioned are recognized.

Chen Daoming's ability to play the emperor was recognized by audiences across the country. Many viewers commented that he is an actor with the temperament of an emperor. Even though he is wearing pajamas, he can still wear the aura of a dragon robe.

Qin Shihuang in "Hero" and Kangxi in "Kangxi Dynasty" are the best examples.

Chen Baoguo is also very powerful. His Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Jiajing are the emperor's ceiling in film and television dramas.

The effect of finding the two of them to play Qin Shihuang will definitely not be bad.

However, Li Yu would not choose them.

Because by the time the "Great Wall" series was released, "The Royal Family of the Northern Dynasties" had already finished airing.

Li Yu is confident that Fu Dalong will become a hit with "The King of the Northern Dynasties".

So Fu Dalong's worries will be automatically eliminated by then.

Li Yu knew how well Fu Dalong could play Qin Shihuang, and he believed that Fu Dalong's performance was no worse than Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo.

Li Yu didn't want to find Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo, nor was he biased against them.

The main reason is that the two of them have played too many excellent emperors, and the audience may be a little tired of it.

Especially Chen Daoming, if he is asked to play Qin Shi Huang, many people may think that Li Yu wants to imitate Qin Shi Huang in "Hero".

Moreover, if Chen Daoming plays Qin Shi Huang, he may not be able to surpass Qin Shi Huang in "Hero".

It's not that his acting skills are not strong enough, it's actually that Qin Shihuang in "Hero" is already very good. Breaking through the limits and reaching new heights is a very difficult thing in itself.

In this case, Li Yu might as well find another way and directly choose Fu Dalong to give the audience a completely different First Emperor.

Another reason is that Fu Dalong is much cheaper than the other two, which can save the crew hundreds of millions in salary.

Although the total investment in the "Great Wall" series is 5 million, Li Yu still hopes to spend every penny wisely.

"Teacher Fu, there is no need at all. Your performance in "The King of the Northern Dynasties" was impeccable. I have full confidence in your acting skills.

The audience has seen too many emperors played by Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo. It is difficult for them to shock the audience.

You are different. You are too little famous and the audience doesn't know you at all. As long as you can play the role well, you will definitely have the effect of stunning everyone. "

Li Yu decisively rejected Fu Dalong's kind proposal.

"I'm more stressed."

Fu Dalong couldn't laugh or cry.

He is in pain and happy now.

Li Yu thought highly of him so much that he insisted on choosing him even if Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo didn't choose.

He felt that he had to give 120%.

No, I must put in 200% of my efforts to play this role well and play a different Emperor.

In fact, Li Yu thought so too, and he deliberately put some pressure on Fu Dalong.

There is motivation only when there is pressure. Under huge pressure, Fu Dalong's small universe may be forced to explode.

"How are you going to deal with the doubts from the outside world, Director Li? The quarrel has reached this level, you have to respond, right?"

Fu Dalong asked.

"I will respond."

Li Yu replied.

That night, Li Yu used his Weibo account to update a piece of content, which was his response.
