China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 379 A dog named Du is nothing
"Born in nineteen eighty-four?"

In Wang Jing's impression, Li Yu seems to have debuted for many years.

In 04, he came to the mainland to film "Little Fish and Flower". At that time, he had heard of Li Yu's name in the mainland and knew that Li Yu was a TV director who was very good at shooting idol dramas.

After all, a director is a behind-the-scenes worker, and he has few opportunities to show his face.

Who would go to a browser to search for photos of directors? If they had to search, they would search for photos of female stars.

Wang Jing had seen photos of Li Yu in the news a few times before, but it felt like a long time ago.

He always thought that Li Yu should not be very young, at least in his thirties or forties.

When he saw Li Yu in person just now, he already felt that Li Yu was younger than he had imagined.

But some of them looked young, so Wang Jing didn't take it seriously.

When he heard Li Yu say with his own ears that he was born in 1984, he was really stunned for a moment.

In other words, Li Yu is not yet thirty years old?
Li Yu doesn't just look young, he really looks young.

"Director Wang, I just debuted early and was young, which is normal. Didn't you also start as a screenwriter in your early twenties and a director in your mid-twenties?"

Li Yu said calmly.

Wang Jing thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

From this perspective, the age difference between Li Yu and him when they debuted was only a few years. He was in his early twenties, and Li Yu was under 20.

Wang Jing now believes that Li Yu was once his fan.

Hong Kong films were very popular in mainland China in the 1990s and 2000s. It is no exaggeration to say that they influenced a generation of people in mainland China. However, most of the discs watched by mainlanders at that time were pirated.

At Li Yu's age, it's not surprising to grow up watching his movies and classic Hong Kong films.

"Wait, Director Li just said that he was once a fan of mine. I'm curious, why did you add the word once?"

Wang Jing caught a small detail in Li Yu's words.

"Shouldn't you ask yourself this? Are 90% of the films you made later acceptable?"

Li Yu speaks so directly.

"..."

Wang Jing didn't expect Li Yu to speak so directly.

He regretted trying to find out the details in Li Yu's words. He asked unnecessary questions.

He has a good idea of ​​the quality of the movies he has made over the years.

He never tried to hide it, he told everyone clearly that he just wanted to make a bad movie.

If someone criticizes his movies as bad, he won't stubbornly say that it will take years before people will understand his movies.

So Wang Jing would not refute Li Yu because he felt that Li Yu was right.

“I was able to become a screenwriter and director in my early twenties because my father was a director.

Director Li was able to direct movies at such a young age. Your situation should be similar to mine, right? "

Embarrassed Wang Jing chose to change the subject.

"I don't have a father who is a director. There is only one reason why I could become a director at such a young age, and that is because my family is rich. At that time, it didn't matter if I lost a few million, it was that simple."

Li Yu pretended to be so awesome.

It was Wang Jing who took the initiative to talk to him about this, so he had no choice but to answer truthfully.

Wang Jing felt that sometimes he really wanted to hit someone.

He is really pretentious. His family background is even more solid than his back then.

He started out as a screenwriter with the help of his father's connections, but Li Yu, on the other hand, paved the way with his financial ability.

He also understood a little bit why Li Yu and Da Tiantian could play together. Both of them were players with great money.

After chatting for a while, Wang Jing finally made it clear why he came.

"I'm very curious, why did Director Li reject my film 'Australia'? Compared with the bad films I made in recent years, this script is not bad at all."

Wang Jing got straight to the point. He knew that it was not surprising that Da Tiantian refused to invest in "Aodao Fengyun" because Li Yu was behind it.

Who in the circle doesn’t know that Li Yu has always been in charge of Da Tiantian’s career planning?

When the star-studded person rejected him, it is possible that she had given him a hint of the secret.

"A good movie among bad movies can only be called a good bad movie, and it still cannot escape the category of bad movies.

Tiantian has already shown me the script. It's all leftovers from your previous games, with a strong smell of leftover food.

It is foreseeable that the box office of the movie may be okay, but its reputation will definitely not be good.

I can’t let Tiantian ruin the reputation she has worked so hard to build, it’s that simple.”

Li Yu didn't beat around the bush and just said what he had to say.

He affirmed the commercial nature of "Australia Storm" and affirmed that such works can make money. Apart from this point, he criticized everything else harshly.

Wang Jing remained silent. When he was serious, he could make a good movie.

He knows better than anyone which movie is made just to make money and which movie is made seriously.

As Li Yu said, "The Island Storm" is just a bad movie that is not that bad.

“Oh, one more thing. In the script, you have already cast many characters, such as Zhou Runfa as Gao Jin and Xie Tingfeng as Xiao Leng.

I saw a name called Du in the script, and the other reason I asked Tiantian not to invest was because of this person, I didn’t like him.”

Li Yu did not hide his true thoughts at all.

What's wrong with Li Yu being unhappy with such a shameless person and a low-quality artist?
Even if Wang Jing came up with a good script, with him around, Li Yu would still advise Da Tiantian not to invest.

Wang Jing was obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect Li Yu to be so disgusted with the guy named Du.

It seems that Mr. Du and Li Yu have never met each other?

When Li Yu and Wu Baige were quarreling the most, the man with the surname Du did take the side that was more sarcastic than Li Yu.

However, there are many Hong Kong artists who have been sarcastic to Li Yu. Over the years, Li Yu has never singled out anyone for criticism.

Why did Li Yu specifically target this person with the surname Du?
"Director Li, I'm curious, did he offend you?"

Wang Jing asked cautiously.

"He didn't offend me personally, but I have heard some of the arrogant remarks made by that traitorous mad dog. For this reason, I don't like him."

Li Yu was not just hinting, he was making it clear.

Wang Jing is such a smooth and smart person, of course he could understand what Li Yuming meant.

He knew very well how arrogant the words of Mr. Du were, how bad his character was, and how many immoral things he had done.

Da Tiantian searched Baidu for some negative information about Du. She was very angry and cursed, "What a morally corrupt scumbag. If Li Yuyi hadn't mentioned him, I would never have thought that a person could be so immoral."

Wang Jing already understood Li Yu's attitude, and Da Tiantian also expressed her opinion.

The smooth-talking Wang Jing immediately said, “Director Li, it doesn’t matter if you think ‘Australia Storm’ is too bad, I can still make some good movies if I work hard.

"Australia Storm" is not good enough, I will just write a good script again.

Also, since Director Li and Miss Jing both dislike people with the surname Du.

I hereby promise that from now on, I will not use him in any of my films."

Wang Jing made a special trip to Beijing to meet Li Yu and Da Tiantian.

From the time we met until now, he has always shown a strong willingness to cooperate.

He didn't come here to lick Li Yu and Da Tiantian, he came here for the mainland film market.

He has seen how fast the mainland film market has developed in recent years, with the mainland's box office record soaring to over 10 billion.

He can make more money by making a hit movie in the Mainland than by making ten movies that just make money in Hong Kong Island.

Da Tiantian is a wealthy investor. According to rumors, Da Tiantian has a close relationship with a certain cinema chain.

As long as he can get along well with Da Tiantian, not only can he solve the funding problem for filming movies in the mainland, but he can also save a lot of trouble with the theaters.

In order to cooperate with Da Tiantian and successfully open up the mainland market, a dog with the surname Du means nothing!
