China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 536: The only one who became famous by washing his face

In a blink of an eye, more than two months have passed.

After more than three months of filming starting from the day it started, "The Disguiser" is finally wrapping up.

The actors who have been in the crew for more than three months can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, actors from the "Joy of Life" series like Hu Ge and Song Yi still cannot rest.

Because Wang Jing is well prepared, they can seamlessly connect with the crew of "Joy of Life".

Especially Hu Ge, he will be under a lot of work pressure in the coming period.

He needs to finish filming the entire "Joy of Life" series in one go.

He is the leading actor and has the most scenes, so it is much more tiring for him to act than someone like Song Yi who has fewer scenes.

Fortunately, Wang Jing was more receptive to advice. He compressed the plot in the novel and planned to put an end to the "Joy of Life" series in the fourth season.

On the day of wrapping up, many reporters rushed to interview Li Yu and the cast team.

When the reporter asked about the situation of The Disguiser, Li Yu answered confidently: "I think our The Disguiser will not disappoint everyone.

The actors put in tremendous effort to perform well in this play, especially the three leading actors Zhang Yi, Hu Ge and Huang Xiaoming, they really worked very hard.

I told them that the three of them were male protagonists with the same ranking.

If someone's performance is lagging behind, I will cut his role and make him the second or third male lead."

This was the excuse Li Yu had used to scare Hu Ge and the other two.

In fact, he didn't cut anyone's role at all.

Now he picked up this rhetoric again in front of the reporter, naturally for the purpose of marketing and promoting the drama.

Those who perform poorly will be promoted from the leading male role to the second or third male role. How exciting.

Those who know know that this is an act, while those who don’t think Li Yu is playing a battle royale game.

This is a topic that can easily attract attention.

For example, those haters who think Huang Xiaoming’s acting is greasy definitely want to see him being beaten by Hu Ge and Zhang Yi.

His die-hard fans will definitely brag about his acting skills, saying that there is no way he can be beaten. "Nirvana in Fire" is a classic example.

The same goes for Hu Ge and Zhang Yi’s black fans and die-hard fans. Let them argue and quarrel, and the attention will increase, right?
Sure enough, the reporters became interested and immediately asked, "Then I want to ask, whose scenes were cut by Director Li in the end?"

They were too curious about who was the one being beaten.

Li Yu would definitely not tell them the answer to satisfy their curiosity, but played Tai Chi and said: "This will be kept secret for the time being, everyone can look forward to it, and everyone will know after the show is officially aired."

This approach of saying half and not telling the half made the reporters curse in their hearts. Isn't this just keeping people on suspense?
Li Yu himself was very satisfied with this; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Telling half and leaving half is the most attractive.

It's almost like holding the pipa with half of her face covered.

After seeing them all, the attraction is not that great.

Unable to find any flaws in Li Yu, the cunning reporters decided to look for a breakthrough in the leading cast.

But the starring team is not stupid. Like Li Yu, they only gave some ambiguous answers.

"I think I have worked very hard, and Lao Hu and Lao Zhang have also worked very hard."

Huang Xiaoming replied.

Hu Ge and Zhang Yi gave similar answers.

The helpless reporter could only change the question: "Director Li, many people are curious, why didn't your last work "Tian Ke Khan" premiere on Station A, but was sold to Kiwi?

What do you think of Kiwi using your work to launch a new service called Advanced Video On Demand? This Advanced Video On Demand has attracted a lot of criticism. "

"It is a normal business practice to sell my "Tian Ke Khan" to Kiwi. Not all self-produced works must be broadcast on their own platforms.

Sometimes we will discuss some resource exchange projects, or we may discuss distribution cooperation.

Kiwifruit executives and I have recently been discussing resource exchange cooperation.

Regarding your second question, Kiwi uses my work to enable advanced on-demand service.

The first broadcast rights have been sold to them. How they want to broadcast it and what strategy they want to adopt are their business. I have no right to interfere."

Thousands of dollars to buy horse bones.

"Tian Khan" was first broadcast on Kiwi, bringing Kiwi a net profit of more than a small target.

This was their reward for acting as a shield for Li Yu.

Li Yu had already paid the remuneration, so it was certainly impossible for him to say that it was his idea and then foolishly help them share the firepower.

If Li Yu was to be scolded along with them.

Why didn't Li Yu offer advanced on-demand streaming on Station A? Why didn't he put the money earned by Kiwifruit into his own pocket?
In the following interview, Li Yu and the leading team answered some questions from reporters about the drama one after another.

……

When Li Yu returned to the capital, Da Tiantian was the first to find Li Yu.

Since returning from Africa in the second half of last year, Da Tiantian has been in a state of doing nothing and being idle.

This has to do with the burden she has now.

Her burden is not the burden of being an idol, but the burden of perfection.

The quality of the works she has performed since her debut has been very high. The nicknames such as the Queen of Bad Movies and the Sweetheart who can’t be made popular have nothing to do with her anymore.

Precisely because all the works she has acted in are so great, Da Tiantian starts to feel conflicted.

Her company's team found many dramas and movies for her, but she thought none of them were good enough.

She felt that she couldn't take on a bad drama that would ruin her reputation.

She had nothing to do recently, so she started a live broadcast using her account on Station A.

Her fans are also weird. They actually said they wanted to see her wash her face.

Da Tiantian was an extremely boring contestant. After the live broadcast, she was very straightforward and recorded a video of herself washing her face. She uploaded the video on Station A and Weibo.

This world is so magical. Even Da Tiantian herself could not have imagined that a video with no sense of rhythm and shot casually would become popular.

Da Tiantian complained to Li Yu: "If I had known that I could become famous just by washing my face, why would I have put so much effort into filming a movie?"

For a moment, Da Tiantian even had an illusion that her previous direction was wrong.
"Let me see your video."

Li Yu opened the A站 app on his mobile phone, searched for Da Tiantian’s account and clicked to watch the face-washing video.

Although it is magical that one can become famous just by washing his face, Da Tiantian is the only one in the entire entertainment industry.

However, Li Yu feels that there is some rationality behind the popularity of this video.

In the past, Da Tiantian gave people the impression of being a wealthy and beautiful woman who was detached from the world and a sweet princess who relied on her billions to get close to people.

In the face-washing video, she roughly smeared the facial cleanser on her face. After all these actions, everyone felt that she was actually very down-to-earth despite her mysterious background.

After removing her makeup, her appearance remains unchanged, and she has transformed from a beautiful lady into a down-to-earth girl next door.

Such a huge contrast makes the netizens feel very interesting.

As a result, the video of her washing her face became very popular.
