China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 498 He Looks Down on an Opponent Like You
Afterwards, Hu Ge was very grateful for Li Yu's help: "Director Li, thank you so much for that."

As an old man who has been in the circle for many years, Hu Ge knew too well how bad the situation would have been if Li Yu had not come to the rescue.

Some unscrupulous reporters would point the camera at his face and make a big fuss about his poor expression management or the slightest flaw in his answers.

Although those small articles and essays did not have much impact on his career, they were just like a toad: it did not bite but annoyed people.

“You’re welcome, I’m not only helping you, I’m helping myself as well.

As I said in the interview, Ready Player One is a science fiction film.

There have been no successful science fiction films produced in China so far.

The performance of "The Night the Comet Came" was considered good at the time, but it is not good enough now.

To be on the safe side, I hope that this work will meet the audience in the best condition.

The acting skills of the leading actor have just started and are being doubted by the outside world. This is not a good sign. I will not allow such a thing to happen that is detrimental to the film.

If you really want to thank me, then play your role with extra care. Playing the role well is more important than anything else.”

Li Yu said seriously.

"Ok, I see."

Hugo nodded vigorously twice.

Fan Xiaopang was lucky because she thought she would also be harassed by reporters.

After helping Hu Ge out, Li Yu cleared the area on the pretext of filming, thus eliminating the possibility of reporters causing trouble again. Fan Xiaopang successfully escaped the disaster.

Li Yu is not a person without emotional intelligence. He knows that clearing the area may cause dissatisfaction among some media.

So Li Yu asked someone to give red envelopes to every media outlet present.

He is soft on people, but short on mouth when eating people.

They will abide by the rules after receiving the red envelopes.

If some individual media take money and continue to say things that have a negative impact on the film in order to attract attention, then Li Yu should send a lawyer's letter of inquiry. The company's legal department has so many people, not just for show.

However, such situations are generally rare.

Especially given Li Yu's current status in the industry, ordinary media dare not offend Li Yu.

The exception is media outside the mainland, such as those in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which are known for their bold and outspoken nature.

They dared to say anything and were naturally not afraid of offending Li Yu.

Li Yu is currently filming intensively, and both Guo Shi and Wang Jing have announced that they will be shooting during the Lunar New Year holiday.

The work that the national teacher is going to bring to everyone this time is "Fengshen", and Wang Jing's work is a rehash of the old work "Ocean Island Storm 2".

Interestingly, Wang Jing was the first one to announce the release date.

Half an hour after Wang Jing announced that the film had been scheduled for the Lunar New Year holiday, the National Master's team released the news of the release date and premiere date of "Fengshen".

This is purely a coincidence. The national teacher has no need to target Wang Jing specifically. Wang Jing does not have such a big face.

However, the release dates of "Fengshen" and "Macao Wind and Cloud 2" overlap, which inevitably attracted some discussions from the outside world.

The onlookers immediately became excited.

Now the spectators are discussing whether Wang Jing, who once defeated Stephen Chow, can defeat the National Master.

Everyone held their own opinions and the argument was fierce.

"Some of you who say Wang Jing can crush the national master are really exaggerating. It is true that the national master has been on the decline in recent years, but he is not so degraded as to be compared with Wang Jing.

Wang Jing is not a top director. His best works have no depth at all. How can he compare with the national master? "

"Beating Master Xing is not worth bragging about. Wang Jing himself said that Master Xing is a top actor and a second-rate director.

It's nothing special that Wang Jing, a first-rate director, defeated second-rate director Stephen Chow with a script written by Li Yu.

The national teacher is different. His level is the best in the world, but his script is too lagging, giving people a feeling of getting worse and worse. "……

"Director Li, tell me how miserable I am. My film "Australia 2" actually collided with the new film of the national master."

Wang Jing said with a wry smile.

"Director Wang, you don't have to worry too much about this. The Imperial Master certainly didn't mean to target you.

In my opinion, there is a 99% chance that this is a coincidence, because based on my understanding of the Imperial Master, he looks down on opponents like you."

Li Yu is an honest man who likes to speak the truth.

"..."

Wang Jing almost vomited blood.

"Do you have to be so direct? Even if it is true, you should at least consider the feelings of me, the person involved, right?"

In fact, Wang Jing himself knew that this was a coincidence.

“There’s really nothing to worry about. You know the level of your “Australia 2”, right?
A movie that just makes money, do you still want to dominate the Lunar New Year box office?

Just relax and lie down, you can't be a match for the national master."

Li Yu persuaded.

Wang Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could he not know that he should just lie down?

He felt sad. If the quality of Guo Shi’s "Feng Shen" was very poor, it would most likely affect the money-making effect of "Ocean Island Storm 2".

A good movie, a bad movie. How desperate must the audience be to choose to watch a bad movie?
Although "Fengshen" will not win over all the audience, it will definitely have a 2% impact on "Macao Wind and Cloud ".

It is possible that the box office of "Macau Island 2" will be reduced by million to million, or even to million.

How much money would he lose? Wang Jing felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Wait...Wang Jing suddenly realized that he seemed to have heard something incredible just now.

Li Yu just said that he couldn't be a match for the national teacher?
Li Yu knew that he had worked with the national master before.

It was because he saw that both Guo Shi and Chen Kaige had achieved success in their cooperation with Li Yu that he decided to cooperate with Li Yu through Da Tiantian as the middleman.

"Director Li, what did you just say? Can you explain it more clearly?

I heard you say that I can't possibly be a match for the Imperial Master. Why are you so sure? Have you seen "Investiture of the Gods"?

Wang Jing grasped the key point and asked quickly.

Li Yu has a good relationship with the national teacher.

It is not impossible that the national teacher invited Li Yu to watch "Fengshen".

Wang Jing guessed that Li Yu came to the conclusion that he would lose after watching "Fengshen".

The national master also has his bad performances sometimes, such as "Three Shots Surprise", which is really worse than Wang Jing's "Aodao Storm".

“No, I haven’t watched the Imperial Master’s Investiture of the Gods, I’m just guessing.

The shortcoming of the national teacher is that the script is too poor, and he always likes to do some fancy things in the movie that are different from the thinking patterns of ordinary people.

In recent years, he likes to shoot blockbusters based on history, and the fancy moves he makes will distract ordinary audiences.

This time is different, "Investiture of the Gods" is a historical mythology film, and the mythological elements are more important than the historical elements. His outrageous actions will be more reasonable in such a film, at least it will not distract the audience. "

Li Yu conducted an in-depth analysis based on his understanding of the national teacher.

Anyway, he thinks "Fengshen" will be better than the national master's works in recent years.

He doesn't even need to watch "Fengshen" to come to this conclusion.
