China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 361 Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony
Li Yu and Mr. Xu discussed many issues about the script of "The Great Wall".

A script is just a script, there is no way or need to write it in too detail.

Unless that actor is someone Li Yu takes special care of.

For example, for people like Shi Shi and Da Tiantian, Li Yu would consider privately sending them a more detailed biography.

Old Monster Xu is a person with a strong thirst for knowledge. There are many things in the script that he cannot understand. Today, when he meets the screenwriter Li Yu, he will raise his doubts in person.

“The story of the battle between the First Emperor and the God of Haotian is really passionate and exciting, but when I read the script, I discovered some small loopholes in the logic.

God Haotian is so powerful, he is the emperor of heaven with boundless power, and the First Emperor is a human emperor who longs to become an immortal.

Why didn't God Haotian just slap the First Emperor to death? "

Xu Ke is not the first person to ask this question. Da Tiantian has asked this question before.

One person asking may just be a coincidence, but two people asking this means that this point needs to be fine-tuned.

"What kind of plot solution does Director Li plan to arrange?"

Xu Ke asked curiously.

Then brainstorming is the best way to avoid mistakes.

The immortals in the heaven cannot directly intervene in the affairs of the human world. You are not the first person to ask this question.

It's true that curiosity killed the cat. He shouldn't have been curious just now.

"I'll keep it secret for now. I'll tell you after I finish writing the plot. I only have a prototype in my brain right now.

I will clearly tell the audience in this short plot why Haotian God cannot kill Qin Shihuang. "

No, through talking with Da Tiantian and Old Monster Xu, Li Yu discovered a problem that needed to be solved.

Li Yu realized that this problem might arouse a large number of questions from the audience, and decisively chose to patch it to solve the problem.

What I can tell you now is that this little plot will be amazing.

Well, let me add one more scene where God Haotian and the First Emperor talk through the air.

He alone cannot do everything, and he has no system to help him identify errors.

Li Yu sold it out.

Not only can it eliminate the audience's comments, but it can also make the audience marvel. "

In addition to inviting Xu Ke as the assistant director and asking him to provide some suggestions on the use of special effects, Li Yu was very careful about the casting of actors.

"..."

Otherwise, after the movie is released, there may be many viewers who have this doubt.

As long as the role has a heavier role, he has to make the decision.

Xu Ke was stuck at the critical moment, not to mention how uncomfortable he felt.

This is why he insisted on holding a script reading meeting before starting filming.

"Because the heaven and the mortal world are two different worlds, the operation of the three realms has rules.

Although he did not let Chen Baoguo play Qin Shihuang, Li Yu planned to give the role of God Haotian to Chen Baoguo.

Because the character of God Haotian has some similarities with Jiajing in "The Ming Dynasty". On the surface, he pretends to be a holy king and a wise master, but in fact he is just a common man.

When citing examples of his frugality, he said that he only had eight apartments in all seasons, but he lived in a house built with millions of taels of silver, and even used sandalwood, which is as precious as gold, for heating.

Li Yu believed that if Chen Baoguo were to act, he would definitely be able to portray the hypocritical and vicious Haotian God.

Li Yu strictly controlled the supporting roles such as Li Simeng, Tian Fusu and used auditions to select the most suitable actors.

In the end, the candidates Li Yu finalized were basically very capable middle-aged actors or veteran actors.

For a large-scale project like "The Great Wall", the early preparations alone take a lot of time.

It's late October, and the preliminary preparations have only reached 10% progress, and there is still some time before the launch. On the evening of October 90, 2011, Li Yu, like many of his peers, was invited to attend this year's Golden Rooster Award Ceremony.

It is worth mentioning that the host of this Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony is Wu Gang, Li Dakang from "In Name", an old acquaintance of Li Yu.

At the award ceremony, Li Yu met Zhang Yingmou and Chen Kaige.

Reporters at the scene discovered a very strange thing. Zhang Yingmou and Chen Kaige were very happy when chatting with Li Yu alone. However, apart from a simple greeting, there was basically no communication between the two of them, and they could even smell a little gunpowder.

The relationship between them is not very good and they kind of dislike each other.

In addition, the relationship between the two was the boss and the wage earner many years ago. The wage earner counterattacked and successfully surpassed the boss, which made the relationship between the two even worse.

"Director Li, let's talk later. By the way, my "Thirteen Hairpins" may be released in December. I wonder if you will have time to support it then."

Zhang Yingmou could feel that the atmosphere was depressing, and he planned to take a step further.

Before leaving, he thought of his new movie, so he came up with these words.

"No problem, I will definitely support you when the time comes."

Li Yu chuckled and agreed.

When "Under Guandu" was released, Li Yu sent a symbolic invitation to Zhang Yingmou. Zhang Yingmou came to the scene in person and gave a very high evaluation of the movie at the scene.

Li Yu still understands basic human sophistication.

Zhang Yingmou gave him so much face, so he also had to give Zhang Yingmou face, otherwise wouldn't he become the second Star Master?

As an actor, Li Yu admires him very much. He agrees with Fatty Wang's evaluation of Mr. Xing. He is a very talented actor.

As for Master Xing as a director, Li Yu can only evaluate him as a second-rate director.

Master Xing is notoriously bad at being a person.

Most people who have worked with him will have some opinions about him. It can be seen that Master Xing is still relatively poor in terms of being a person.

It may also be related to his withdrawn personality. Maybe he is just withdrawn and unsociable.

But socializing in the entertainment industry is very important.

In the entertainment industry, it is easy to be ostracized if you have such shortcomings, and this is indeed the case faced by Star Master.

Zhang Yingmou left with satisfaction after receiving Li Yu's affirmative reply.

After Zhang Yingmou left, Chen Kaige felt much more comfortable. He and Li Yu were discussing "The Great Wall" and provided Li Yu with some opinions.

Generally speaking, everyone is in a happy mood.

There is one exception, and this person is Feng Xiaogang, another famous director in China.

Feng Xiaogang is famous in the industry for his hot temper, and he has strong opinions on what Li Yu has done in the past two years.

Even if he made his own movies, he also collaborated with Zhang Yingmou and Chen Kaige. The movie "Man Jiang Hong" made his "Earthquake" no. 1 in the box office without taking the lead.

Collaborating with Chen Kaige, they produced another domestically produced literary film with the highest box office, and also earned the title of China's number one screenwriter.

With the above two incidents, Li Yu's status in the film industry has now surpassed that of Feng Xiaogang.

Feng Xiaogang, a little steel cannon, felt suppressed from all directions, and it was difficult for him not to feel depressed.

At tonight's Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony, Li Yu is his strong competitor again.

Zhang Yingmou and Chen Kaige also became his competitors because they both cooperated with Li Yu.

His whole body was numb, and his face was dark all the time from the moment he entered the venue to now, and he never looked good for a second.

He didn't believe it. He didn't believe that this time it would be like the "Assembly" of the year, where all the grand prizes were snatched away by Li Yu, and only a small consolation prize was awarded to his film.

His "Big Earthquake" is much better than "Assembly".
