China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 408 There is nothing wrong with teaching and educating people
Li Yu has always been very efficient in his work.

The filming of "Parasite" was naturally very quick this time.

After actors including Tony Leung Ka-wai and Fan Xiaopang were confirmed one after another, a good day was chosen and the filming began.

Li Yu, whose reputation was at the peak, received great attention from the national media even though he was making an art film. The day when the filming started was very lively.

When interviewed by reporters, Li Yu did not say that his goal was to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes next year, but he did say that he wanted to take this film to next year's Cannes Film Festival.

This topic can generate some discussion.

Although Li Yu's main purpose in making "Parasite" was to win awards, he also cared about the box office.

No one wants the movie they make to lose money.

Keeping the film at a certain level of popularity will be more beneficial for arranging its release in the country in the future.

The reporters were relatively well-behaved in front of Li Yu.

It’s different when he’s in front of Fat Fan. He acts as eye-catching and exciting as possible.

"Fan Ye, we heard rumors that Zhang Ziyi also wanted to star in Parasite, and your joining squeezed her out."

If Fan Xiaopang had not been so experienced and had not long ago developed the ability to remain calm in the face of difficult problems, she would probably have been embarrassed on the spot.

Anyone with a sound mind would understand that this is meant to cause trouble.

But Fat Fan is not afraid of Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Ziyi is no longer the Zhang Ziyi who successfully entered Hollywood and won the Golden Globe Award.

Ever since the scandal broke out, Zhang Ziyi’s resources have plummeted, and even she can’t catch up.

In addition, Zhang Ziyi’s popularity among the public is very poor and she has too few fans, so no one can be her match in a fan war.

A few years ago, she dared to confront Zhang Ziyi head-on on a TV show, let alone now.

She responded directly: “I never meant anything against anyone, and I don’t like to play tricks in the dark.

Everyone has come this far through their acting skills and hard work, and I also got the role through my acting skills and hard work."

Every sentence mentioned the international chapter, and every sentence was inseparable from the international chapter.

International star Zhang Ziyi once mocked Fan Xiaopang as a vase with no acting skills who could only get ahead by selling himself out.

Fan Xiaopang said that he was not targeting anyone and that he got the role based on his acting skills.

If Zhang Ziyi had the chance to hear these words from Fan Xiaopang, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood.

Li Yu felt that when it came to quarreling, these big stars were much better than the small stars.

The little girls always hide their quarrels and do them secretly, but in public they act like fake sisters.

Dahua is really awesome, she just comes up and does it directly, without any fear of falling out.

After entering the shooting phase, Li Yu's requirements were as high as ever.

Fan Xiaopang's first scene was "clicked" seven times by Li Yu.

It’s not that Fan Xiaopang was deliberately being bad, she knew how strict Li Yu’s requirements were for filming.

When she was filming "My Love from the Star" that year, her highest record was being cut by Li Yu more than ten or twenty times.

Li Yu was not angry and kept asking her to reshoot. In the end, Li Yu remained calm and composed, but she was the one who broke down first.

From that time on, she no longer dared to slack off when filming Li Yu's dramas.

Working hard at acting is very tiring, and reshooting over and over again will only make you more tired, and it is a huge torture to your body and mind.

The fact that Fan Xiaopang’s first scene was cut seven times had a lot to do with the fact that it was her first day of filming and she wasn’t in the right state yet.

Everything has a gradual process.

It is said that everything will come naturally. If there is no water, how can the following steps proceed?
As Fan Xiaopang slowly adapted, her performance gradually improved.

The other lead actor, Tony Leung Ka Fai, also had to reshoot the film many times.

However, his situation is somewhat different from Fan Xiaopang's.

In many cases, he took the initiative to point out that a certain part was not done well enough and could be done better, and then asked for a reshoot. In addition, Liang Jiahui really has a biography of tens of thousands of words, and he never forgets to study it during his rest time.

"Is Mr. Liang too serious? I feel like I'm going to be outshined by him in the movie."

Fat Fan said a little worriedly.

Li Yu glanced at her and replied, "Isn't it normal that your acting skills are overshadowed by his? He is a versatile actor who can play the role of an emperor or a scoundrel.

When he plays a supporting role, he can always steal the limelight from the main character, not to mention that he is the leading actor and has more scenes than you."

The most typical one is "Black Gold", in which Zhou Chaoxian, played by Tony Leung Ka Fai, is a villain.

His Boss Zhou fully displays his heroic qualities in the movie. His words "Who is in favor and who is against" are very impressive, and his aura is very strong.

The leading male role played by Andy Lau became a supporting role.

However, it is a good thing that Fan Xiaopang feels pressure, because pressure brings motivation. Li Yu hopes that the actors in the crew will get excited.

In order to promote internal competition and allow the actors to perform better, Li Yu looked at Fan Xiaopang with a joking look: "Sister Binbin, you don't want your Cannes Film Queen to be suppressed too badly in the movie, and then be laughed at by the audience and Zhang Ziyi, right?"

Li Yu's words brought even greater pressure to Fan Xiaopang.

Sometimes, achieving too much can be painful.

Like Fan Xiaopang now, if she is beaten too badly by others, she will really be ridiculed by the crowd because she has so many black fans.

In particular, she boasted in front of reporters not long ago, claiming that she won the role by defeating Zhang Ziyi with her acting skills.

When the movie was released, the audience was shocked and asked, "Is this the level of performance of a actress who won the role with her acting skills?" The ridicule became even stronger.

Maybe even Zhang Ziyi will step out and step on her.

Under pressure, Fan Xiaopang could only ask Li Yu for help, hoping that Li Yu could open a back door for her.

Her acting peak was in "The Sun".

She played the role so well in "The Sun". In addition to her personal efforts and talent, it was inseparable from the guidance of director Li Yu.

During the filming of "The Sun", the director + screenwriter Li Yu really worked overtime at night to teach her the ropes and help her thoroughly understand the role, which enabled her to perform so well.

"Director, if you have time tonight, please tell me about the character. Just like when I was filming The Sun, tell me everything from the character's birth to his growth and psychological journey."

Fan Xiaopang took the initiative to apply.

Li Yu could see her desire for progress in her eyes.

As Teacher Gao said, there is nothing wrong with teaching and educating people.

Since Fan Xiaopang was so serious, Li Yu reluctantly took her flying again.

That night, Fan Xiaopang sneaked into Li Yu's room and studied the script with Li Yu.

There is no wall that is impenetrable, and soon the rumor that Fan Xiaopang broke into the director's room at night spread in the crew.

Assistant director Cao Qing clarified on behalf of Li Yu: "Don't talk nonsense, the director and Fan Xiaopang were just discussing the script, and it was reasonable for the director to explain the play to the actors.

I'll be honest with you, if anyone continues to gossip, don't blame me for being rude."

Of course, no one believed Cao Qing's clarification.

Everyone has seen "In the Name" directed by Li Yu. Chen Qingquan also said that he went to Shanshui Manor to learn foreign languages ​​with foreign scholars.

However, with Cao Qing's intimidation, these people restrained themselves a lot, at least they didn't dare to gossip on the set anymore.

About three or four days later, the effect of Li Yu's private lessons to Fan Xiaopang began to show.

On that day, Fan Xiaopang performed beyond his normal level on the set and gave several wonderful performances in succession.

"That was amazing. The performance just now was really good."

Liang Jiahui also praised Fan Xiaopang's performance.

Fatty Fan looked towards Li Yu and said modestly, "It's all thanks to the director's guidance. Without the director's guidance, I would never have been able to perform the effect I just showed."

At this moment, not only did Liang Jiahui's eyes change when he looked at Li Yu, but the eyes of the staff around him also changed when they looked at Li Yu.

Is the emotional director really discussing the script with Fan Xiaopang?
