China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 453 No, You Misunderstood, They Are Afraid of Being Beaten to Death by Me

Hu Ge didn’t have the third eye, so he didn’t know that even without Li Yu, he would still get the chance to star in “The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1” in the end.

He believed from the bottom of his heart that he was able to star in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" because of Li Yu's support.

Besides, even if Hu Ge had opened his third eye and had seen the answers to the test paper just like Li Yu, Li Yu would still be a benefactor in his life.

Because the effect of Li Yu's words was enormous.

Without that sentence, he would have to go through a lot of difficulties and setbacks before he got the opportunity to star in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1".

Li Xin took the initiative to step forward and greet Li Yu: "Director Li, I have heard of your name for a long time. I am finally meeting you in person."

Li Xin has a very good impression of Li Yu.

She knew that she was able to successfully get the role of Lin Wan'er this time because of Li Yu's recommendation.

Director Wang Jing told her the true situation.

She thought about it for three days and three nights but couldn't understand why a top director like Li Yu would notice a little unknown person like her.

He even remembered her name and recommended her to Wang Jing.

Because of this, she called home and asked her parents if there was a distant relative named Li Yu in their Li family.

Unfortunately, the answer she got was no.

She regretted this for several days.

While Li Xin was observing Li Yu, Li Yu was also looking at her.

Later, Li Xin was voted the goddess of the year in a straight men's forum.

In those years when she failed to win the championship, her name was still among the top.

Never doubt the aesthetic taste of a group of straight men.

After all, there is a classic line: 'Let's trust the second brother's judgment.'

Li Yu's first impression of Li Xin was that she was beautiful and worthy of the honorary title of the annual goddess of a certain forum.

Although this girl doesn't seem to have the physique to become a big star, her resources are really not bad.

On the contrary, her resources are really great for an actress who is not very famous.

But even so, she still hasn't become really famous.

While others were earning a daily wage, she was paid millions for filming an entire TV series.

Compared with ordinary people, this income is definitely very high.

Compared with those young actresses of similar age, she is the worse one.

Then Li Yu greeted Li Xiaoran again.

This is another actor whose name does not match his personality.

Where is it too small?

Isn't this a scam?

Li Yu stayed in the crew for half a day, watching Wang Jing directing the play and observing the actors' performances.

When the work was over in the evening, Wang Jing treated Li Yu and the other leading actors in the crew to a big dinner.

"I really have to thank Director Li. If Director Li hadn't come today, we wouldn't have had a good meal."

Hugo started to cheer.

With Hu Ge starting the fun, actors like Li Xin and Li Xiaoran followed suit.

"Thank you Director Li for letting us have a great meal."

After everyone sat down and waited for the food, Wang Jing asked curiously, "Director Li, your "Operation Nujiang River" has been completed for more than half a year. It should be released at the end of this year or in January or February next year, right?"

This is one of the important reasons why Wang Jing chose to shoot "Joy of Life" instead of "The Island Storm 2".

If he shoots "Ocean Island 2", it will be released around this time, overlapping with Li Yu's "Operation Nujiang River".

His greatest strength is his ability to recognize himself.

How can his rehashed money-making work compare to Operation Nujiang River? He will really be beaten to death.

After Wang Jing asked the question, the ears of actors such as Hu Ge, Li Xin, and Li Xiaoran all pricked up. The film "Operation Nujiang" is well-known in the industry.

Film projects specially approved by relevant departments will be given the green light throughout the process in terms of shooting review and other aspects.

A script with extremely explicit content was passed without any changes in the review department, where even the national masters would occasionally get stuck.

This treatment is enough to make everyone in the entertainment industry drool with envy.

"I won't release the films at the two times you mentioned. The film Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy will be released at the end of the year."

Li Yu replied.

Xu's version of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is also called "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" 3D version.

Objectively speaking, this version of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is of very good quality. Except for the ending which is a bit exaggerated, the rest of the film can be said to be basically flawless.

This is Xu Ke's best film work in recent years.

It may also be related to the fact that the story has a historical prototype, and director Xu Ke did not have much room to use his imagination in the plot.

That’s right, Xu Ke has the same problems as the National Master and Chen Kaige.

"Xu Ke is quite amazing."

Wang Jing commented after hearing the name.

Xu Ke, a veteran Hong Kong director, entered the mainland film market and achieved good commercial results.

The "Detective Dee" series is controversial in areas such as plot and setting, but its box office performance is good.

Before filming "Detective Chinatown" and "Macau Storm", Wang Jingting envied Xu Ke's movies for making big money in the mainland.

Of course, he no longer envies Xu Ke now.

His "Detective Chinatown" crushed Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" to the ground, and the director was so frustrated that he wanted to go back to being an actor.

A lot of people criticized him for rehashing "Australia", but the result was quite good.

As I said, as long as people buy tickets, he likes it even if they curse him.

He surpassed Stephen Chow and Xu Ke to become the highest-grossing Hong Kong director in mainland China.

"Xu Ke is indeed quite capable. He and Bo Na expect the film to make 1 billion yuan."

Li Yu nodded, agreeing with Wang Jing's evaluation of Xu Ke.

"They are very confident. It is said that when two tigers fight, one will be injured. It is okay for Director Li to avoid them.

Movies are a commodity after all. Whether or not they can outperform their competitors is not that important. What matters most is putting money in your pocket.”

Wang Jing's words and thoughts clearly show that he is a businessman disguised as a director.

Li Yu even suspected that if this guy was given an opportunity to win an Oscar and an opportunity to get a box office of 2 billion, he would choose the 2 billion box office without hesitation.

"No, you misunderstood. Xu Ke and Bo Na were afraid that they would be killed in Operation Nujiang River, so they called me in advance to let me spare them."

Li Yu corrected.

He is not afraid of Xu Ke and Bo Na, this needs to be made clear.

Wang Jing: “…”

Everyone: "..."

Everyone was impressed by Li Yu's pretentious speech.

These words are really too crazy. If someone else said them, they would probably be ridiculed by everyone.

But when it came from Li Yu's mouth, everyone was willing to believe it was true.

The legendary story of Li Yu's previous film "The Great Wall: Part II", which ended with 15.1 billion yuan, has not been forgotten by everyone.

"Operation Nujiang River" is another masterpiece of Li Yu, and it has the strong support of relevant departments.

There really wouldn't be many people who would doubt that "Operation Nujiang" beat "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

At least no one would doubt this before these two movies were released.
