China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 391 Li Yu's Confidence in the "Great Wall" Series
Mr. Wang realized it later and finally understood why Li Yu spoke to him in a very unhappy tone when he mentioned Feng Xiaogang just now.

It turned out that Li Yu was waiting for him here.

Li Yu's purpose was to make him feel guilty so that he could take advantage of the situation by raising conditions.

In fact, since he was in the wrong, it was difficult for him to refuse Li Yu's request.

But he treated Li Yu as a star and even boasted that he would help him if he needed help in the future.

The result is the current situation. If he dares not to agree, he would be slapping himself in the face and proving that everything he said just now was bullshit.

Realizing that he had been tricked, Mr. Wang smiled bitterly.

His mind is still inferior to Li Yu's.

If he has a hundred holes in his heart, then Li Yu is definitely full of holes in his body, it's like a person growing out of a bunch of holes in his heart.

What else could he say now that things had come to this? He could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger, then bite the bullet and agree to Li Yu's request.

Mr. Wang is very efficient. Wang Baoqiang and his agent Song Zhe arrived that afternoon.

Li Yu happened to be free, so he met Wang Baoqiang and Song Zhe in person.

The first impression Wang Baoqiang gives is that he is sincere, simple, and even a little naive, which has a lot to do with his peasant background.

Apart from that, his appearance is really average. His height is not outstanding and his looks are ordinary. If he were placed in the entertainment industry, he would definitely be below average.

Huang Bo has similar appearance to him. If they rely on their looks to make a living, they will starve to death, so they are all powerful actors, famous for their good acting skills.

Li Yu's first impression of Wang Baoqiang's agent Song Zhe was that this man was a very deep-minded person who was very good at hiding himself.

This is normal. If this guy didn't know how to pretend, he wouldn't have been able to hide it from Wang Baoqiang for so many years.

Later, Wang Baoqiang discovered the clue. It was not Song Zhe who was exposed, but Miss Ma who was careless.

In other words, if Miss Ma had not made a mistake, this guy would have continued to pretend and would have harmed Wang Baoqiang even more.

Li Yu had no good feelings towards this ungrateful person who depended on Wang Baoqiang for a living, then stabbed Wang Baoqiang in the back and wiped out Wang Baoqiang's backyard.

So when Song Zhe greeted him with a flattering look on his face, he didn't even look at Song Zhe and simply chose to ignore him.

Looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, Li Yu's status ranks among the best.

Li Yu dares to confront super directors like Wu Baige and Feng Xiaogang, so what does a small agent of Huayi think of him?
If Li Yu didn't give him face, what could he do? What could he dare to do?

Just as Li Yu expected, Song Zhe was ignored by Li Yu and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, but he still had a smile on his face. He didn't dare to lose his temper in front of Li Yu.

"Baoqiang, Mr. Wang should have told you the details, right?"

Li Yu and Wang Baoqiang had smiles on their faces when they talked, which was in stark contrast to the way they treated Song Zhe.

This made Song Zhe, who was following Wang Baoqiang, even more annoyed.

It was obvious that Li Yu was treating people differently, and he was definitely targeting him.

But no one cares whether he is happy or not. What Li Yu wants is to make ungrateful people like him unhappy.

After Li Yu and Wang Baoqiang had a brief chat, Wang Baoqiang signed his name on the contract.

After signing, he said very sincerely: "Director Li, to be honest, when I heard that the director was Wang Jing, I was a little hesitant.

But I also heard that you were the screenwriter, and when I heard that, I made up my mind that I must act in the movie "Tang Detective". "

This is the sequelae of Wang Jing making too many bad movies. Ambitious actors would hesitate when they received his invitation, and think carefully whether he wanted to make a good movie to restore his reputation or just make a bad movie to make money. What Wang Baoqiang said to Li Yu next proved that he is a dedicated actor.

"I have read the script of Detective Chinatown many times, and every time I read it, I am amazed by Director Li's talent.

There is a reason why Director Li is known as China's number one screenwriter.

I have some understanding of the character of Tang Ren, but Director Li is the screenwriter.

I think no one understands the character of Tang Ren better than Director Li.

I want to hear what kind of person Tang Ren is in Director Li’s mind.”

Wang Baoqiang took a very serious attitude.

He really wanted to play the role of Tang Ren well, especially after knowing that "Detective Chinatown" was a whole series, his belief became even stronger.

There is no director who doesn't like people who take their work seriously and really want to play the role well instead of just slacking off.

"If you want to know more about the character of Tang Ren, that's fine. I'll send you a detailed biography later.

Just read the biography carefully first, and then ask me if you have any questions. "

Li Yu still maintains the good habit he had back then. When writing scripts, he will write biographies for important characters.

Contestants like Da Tiantian and the former Shi Shi, who are not very strong, have taken many of Li Yu's biographies, and the effect is quite good, playing a good auxiliary role.

An actor like Wang Baoqiang can actually play a role very well as long as he thinks about it carefully and acts seriously.

But if he wanted to perform better, Li Yu would certainly not refuse.

The harder Wang Baoqiang works, the more outstanding the role of Tang Ren will be, the greater the positive benefit to the film will be, and the greater the benefits will be to Li Yu, the largest investor.

After discussing the content of Detective Chinatown, Wang Baoqiang suddenly asked a question: "Director Li, your film The Great Wall will be released during the Lunar New Year holiday.

"The Great Wall" It has been a year or two since you last directed a movie yourself. What are your expectations for "The Great Wall"?

If I have the opportunity, I really want to film a movie directed by Director Li himself."

Wang Baoqiang's words sounded a bit stiff.

Because it was Xu Zheng who asked him to test Li Yu in this way.

Xu Zheng wanted to know how confident Li Yu himself was in "The Great Wall".

It is not surprising that Xu Zheng asked Wang Baoqiang to test Li Yu, because Wang Baoqiang is also one of the leading actors of "Lost in Thailand".

In the original time and space, it was because of the movie "Lost in Thailand" that Wang Baoqiang's film career became more prosperous, allowing Wang Baoqiang to have access to more and better film resources in the future, and becoming one of the most box office-appealing actors.

"The two films, combined, have a combined investment of 500 million yuan. Do you think I have confidence?

I personally think that The Great Wall series is the culmination of my work as a director, and this film uses all my shooting skills and techniques.”

Li Yu said seriously.

As Wang Baoqiang said, Li Yu hasn't directed a movie himself for a year or two.

In the past two years, Li Yu has served as the producer and screenwriter of "The Great Wall" and has communicated with Chen Kaige.

Li Yu learned a lot from these two people, and these things will be reflected in "The Great Wall" series.
