China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 381 Wang Jing knows how to hype

Wang Jing and Da Tiantian both looked at Li Yu with puzzled eyes.

"It's boring to always be number one. You have no rivals and it's easy to lose the motivation to strive. Alas, you probably can't understand the loneliness and pain of being number one because you've never been number one."

Li Yu said with some melancholy.

Both Da Tiantian and Wang Jing had a very strong urge to hit someone.

This guy is truly extraordinary.

"Zhang Yingmou and Chen Kaige are no longer good, their peak periods are past.

It’s not that their abilities are no longer good, it’s that their achievements are already great enough.

When no one can suppress them, they cannot control their desire to express themselves and keep interfering in areas they are not good at.

I'm not being arrogant, but in terms of business, the two of them don't pose any threat to me.

I really hope someone can surpass me and give me some motivation to create."

Li Yu said again.

Ten years later, Zhang Yingmou and Chen Kaige's performance in commercial blockbusters is really not good. Some emerging middle-aged directors can beat them in terms of box office performance.

They were running very fast downhill, and they were never to come back.

Xiao Gangpao has also developed a similar problem recently and started to engage in deep artistic pursuits.

As a director, Wang Jing envies Li Yu.

Among so many directors in China, Li Yu is the only director who dares to say such things and will not be refuted and can be recognized by everyone.

This is the great achievement that Chinese directors have worked hard to achieve.

After Wang Jing understood Li Yu's motive for asking him to go after Stephen Chow, he had no objection.

He and Stephen Chow have known each other for decades, and have loved and hated each other for decades. He knows Stephen Chow too well.

"No problem, I can promise you. It's not even August yet, and there are still six or seven months until next year's Spring Festival. With my speed, it's more than enough time to make a movie."

Wang Jing is very confident.

There are still six or seven months left, and there is no need for him, the fast boy, to run at full capacity.

"Director Wang, do you think you can beat Master Xing?"

Da Tiantian became interested. She liked to watch the exciting fights between great masters.

"Master Xing is the best actor in my mind, no doubt about it.

As for his directorship, I can only say his level is average.

Without Director Li's scripts, I might not be able to beat him in terms of box office performance, because my reputation as the king of bad movies is too famous, and Stephen Chow is much better than me.

With the script written by Director Li, the audience will believe that my film is not a bad one, so I don’t need to be afraid of him at all.”

Wang Jing maintained a confident demeanor and spoke calmly.

When he gets serious about making movies, they are better than those made by Stephen Chow. He has full confidence in his abilities, and this is also the consensus of everyone.

With Li Yu, an excellent gold medal screenwriter, to ensure the quality of the script, he is really not inferior to Stephen Chow at all.

"It's a good thing to be confident. Director Wang, if you have time, stay in the capital for now.

It won't take me many days to write the script. We can discuss it after it's out, so you don't have to run back and forth.

By the way, a movie invested by my company will be released soon. If you are interested, you can come and join in the fun. "

The movie that Li Yu was talking about was "Knife of the Assassin" starring Zhang Zhen and Shi Shi.

"The Northern Dynasties" is about to end.

When "The Northern Dynasty" ended, it was the time for "The Sword of the Assassin" to come on stage and shine.

Wang Jing is a person with high emotional intelligence and good social skills.

Without thinking twice, he agreed to go to the premiere of "The Blade of the Assassin" to show his support.

However, there are some things that he thinks he should remind Li Yu in advance: "Director Li, if you want Master Xing to be stimulated and then go back to being an actor, I think it will be difficult.

He can't go back to the past. He is no longer the little actor he was back then. No director can impress him now. Take Hong Kong Island for example. In Hong Kong Island, any director with a bit of ability and ambition will not work with him.

He has too strong a desire for control. If he were to go back to being an actor, what he wants is not a director, but an obedient dog.

The entire crew had to revolve around him, and as long as he was not satisfied, the director would have to reshoot it anyway. "

Wang Jing knows Stephen Chow very well, and what he said are objective facts.

Stephen Chow is such a serious person. It can be understood that he is too serious about movies, to the point of being inhuman.

A capable director really can't stand this kind of thing.

"We are just trying it out, we don't have to achieve this goal. After all, whether to be an actor or a director, the decision is up to Stephen Chow himself, not us."

Li Yu said indifferently.

In this way, Li Yu, Da Tiantian and Wang Jing reached a preliminary consensus on cooperation.

A week later, "The Northern Dynasties" was finished broadcasting.

Although it is impossible to reproduce the glorious record of breaking 10 in viewership ratings on TV, its overall popularity is definitely higher than that of "Nirvana in Fire" back then.

During the broadcast of "The Kingdom of the Northern Dynasties", Lu Yang started to hype up "The Blade of the Assassin" on the Internet.

Shi Shi and Zhang Zhen gained a surge in popularity because of "The Northern Dynasty", and "The Blade Strikes" benefited from it.

"The Blade of the Assassin" is now attracting a lot of attention, and many people know that such a movie will be released soon.

The tragedy of unsatisfactory box office results due to insufficient publicity in the original time and space will not be repeated in "The Blade of the Assassin".

On the day of the premiere, both Li Yu and Wang Jing were present.

People would not find it strange that Li Yu was present, because Li Yu was the biggest investor of this film, and it was natural for Li Yu to come and show support.

What was really surprising was Wang Jing's arrival. Why did this famous fat man from Hong Kong Island show up at the premiere of "The Blade of the Assassin"? And he was with Li Yu and they were having a pretty good chat.

Reporters with a keen sense of smell soon smelled big news.

Soon, reporters came to Li Yu and Wang Jing and interviewed them.

"Director Wang, we are very curious about why you appeared at the premiere of "The Blade of the Assassin"?"

Wang Jing glanced at Li Yu before answering the reporter, and said directly: "As you can see, I came to Beijing and came to the premiere of "Assassin's Blade" to work with Director Li.

We have been chatting privately for many days, and the film has taken shape. Director Li is the screenwriter, I am the director, and Ms. Jing Tian is the lead actress.

Wang Jing felt that there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, as it would be made public sooner or later, so it would be better to just expose it directly to create some popularity for the movie.

The collaboration between Li Yu and Wang Jing will, if nothing unexpected happens, be another wonderful film.

They can question the moral integrity of that fat guy Wang Jing, but they cannot question Li Yu's script.

According to the law, the script written by Li Yu will definitely not be bad.

The reporters became even more excited.

"Director Li, I want to ask, is what Director Wang said true?"

Li Yu smiled and glanced at Wang Jing, then replied, "Director Wang is the director, you should ask Director Wang."

The reporters turned their attention back to Wang Jing's face.

Wang Jing said: "It's more real than pearls. I can tell you straight away that the movie that Director Li and I are working on is aimed at the Spring Festival next year, and the target is Master Xing's Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons."

The reporters' expressions changed from surprise to shock. Are they going to compete with Stephen Chow's new movie?
A reporter said weakly: "It seems that Director Wang is very confident in his new film! He even dares to compete with Stephen Chow."

"Now Stephen Chow is a director, not an actor. His directing skills are far inferior to his acting skills, let alone a professional director like me.

What's more, Director Li helped me write the script, so why wouldn't I dare to challenge him?"

Wang Jing said with confidence.

I have to say that Wang Jing is good at hype.

His remarks can easily increase the popularity of the movie.
